[61] Life and death
It's too late......
I froze and turned slowly.
What caught the eye was a pair of blood-colored eyes, like a demon who had escaped from the underworld, Dong Zhuo stared at the woman on the ground who had no breath, her eyes were blood-red.
The blood-colored eyes clearly reflected the woman lying on the ground with no breath, but it seemed to be empty.
I stayed where I was. When we were in Liangzhou, we never thought that when we met again, we would be in such a situation.
I know that he still didn't recognize me, because all he could see in his blood-colored eyes was the woman lying in a pool of blood on the ground.
And how should I face him?
"I want to make your hands stained with the blood of 'Xiaoxiao', and I want Dong Zhuo to hate you to the bone...... I want you to never be together...... You can only be Diao, the Diao Chan of your father-in-law...... In the name of laughter, I will wipe it away with my blood, leaving no trace......"
Diao's curse suddenly came to mind in my ears, and I shuddered.
"Zhong Ying, isn't she smiling......" Holding my abdomen, I opened my mouth, anxious to explain.
The next moment, I couldn't speak.
He strode forward, his face covered in frost, his always warm hands clutching my throat. I opened my mouth, but I couldn't pronounce even half a syllable, and I felt the temperature between his fingers, and I looked at him.
The pressure in my neck almost crushed my neck bones, and I could taste the blood in my throat......
Looking at the man in front of me who had spoiled me lawlessly, I grinned and wanted to give him a smile, but the tears in my eyes slipped down first.
In his eyes, I saw a woman with a face covered in blood and unable to distinguish her face.
I struggled, tears sliding down my cheeks, washing away the blood and leaving a thin trail......
With my feet off the ground, I heard the sound of my neck bones breaking, and it was clear...... Looking up with difficulty, I looked at the man with murderous intent, and tears broke down in my eyes.
My abdomen was empty and painful, as if a small life had been taken raw from my belly...... Why is this happening?
Have you ever tried what it's like to be killed by someone you love the most?
My neck is in his palm, and in the next second, maybe I will die at his hands...... Tears blurred my vision, but I struggled to keep my eyes open to remember what he looked like.
Last time, in the moat of Liangzhou, when he lost me...... Isn't that the case? The blood-red eyes, full of killing intent, did not see a trace of warmth...... It's terrifying like a demon......
But I'm not afraid, I'm really not afraid. He's Zhong Ying, he's Zhong Ying, how can I be afraid of him?
My breathing gradually began to suffocate, and I looked at the man who had fallen into despair, and the pain in my heart deepened little by little...... I want to tell him that his smile is not dead...... His smile has always been there, always ......
Why, don't listen to me......
Why, let yourself despair......
Why...... You don't recognize me......
That day, outside the city of Luoyang.
I said, if you don't recognize me, I won't recognize you.
You look gloomy and ask why.
I'm telling you, because...... How could Zhong Ying not recognize his smile?
You softened your expression and told me, okay, if you get lost in the future, remember to stand still and wait for me to come to you.
You say, I'll find you.
Right now, I'm right in front of you.
You...... Why don't you recognize me?
Tears couldn't be stopped, and they slowly flowed from the depths of their eyes...... Scouring the cheeks with blood. Then, I saw Dong Zhuo's hand freeze slightly, and the blood red in his eyes gradually faded......
Zhong Ying...... Zhong Ying...... Do you recognize me?
"Let her go!" A low drink came suddenly.
With that sound, a silver spear stabbed straight at me, and Dong Zhuo flashed sideways and let go of me. As I lay dying, I was taken into another bosom.
I looked up with difficulty, it was Zhao Zilong.
"Don't be afraid, it's okay." He looked down at me.
Looking up again, Zhao Zilong's eyes became cold, I believe that if he could, he would take Dong Zhuo's life, not only for me, but more importantly for Wan'er. But presumably he also understands that with me dying in his arms, he is not Dong Zhuo's opponent.
I opened my mouth, my mouth was full of blood, and my lips were as pale as snow, and I was angry.
Zhao Zilong's hand holding the reverse scale tightened slightly, hugged me and turned around and left.
Dong Zhuo watched me leave in a daze, just standing in place, not stepping forward.
I was dying, and I didn't even have the strength to struggle, so I could only watch Dong Zhuo's figure get farther and farther away from me...... Farther and farther away......
So lonely, so pale.
Suddenly, Dong Zhuo took a few steps forward, but finally stopped and slowly lowered his hand. I don't know if it's an illusion, I saw blood dripping from Dong Zhuo's clenched hand...... The piercing blood, dripping on the pure white snow at the door, was shocking.
The icy snowflakes greeted me, and for the first time, I found that the snow was so cold to the bone.
Zhao Zilong carried me all the way and escaped from the Taishi Mansion.
Dong Zhuo didn't chase after him.
"Medic, Medic!" Holding me, Zhao Zilong found a medical clinic and kicked the door with his foot.
For a long time, there was no response.
The cold wind was biting, and every breath was holding the piercing pain in his neck, and he looked back at Zhao Zilong walking all the way, and there was silver snow all the way. On the snow, there was blood dripping from my body.
Suddenly, I was a little curious, how much blood is on a person's body, and it can be shed all the way for so long? My body, Zhao Zilong's body, was full of blood gushing out of my mouth, and I suspected that my neck was almost broken.
The pain in my abdomen was still so clear, so clear that I couldn't ignore it, it was nothing, it was a wound that didn't exist...... But I was in pain.
"Medic, Medic! Open the door! "Changed to a medical center, Zhao Zilong kicked the door and made a bang.
After kicking through the three medical halls, there was a "squeak" and the door finally opened.
"Medic, she's injured." Zhao Zilong hurriedly hugged me and stepped forward, "Hurry up and save her." ”
It was an old medical worker who opened the door, and after a sleepy glance at me, he turned around in a hurry and was about to close the door.
"Medic! How can you see death and not be saved! Zhao Zilong held on to the door with one foot, gritted his teeth, and there was a faint anger on his handsome face.
"Look at this girl, she is obviously dying, how can you let her enter my medical hall and ruin my reputation!" The old medic shook his beard with anger, and as he spoke, he shook his hand and closed the door lest he could avoid it.
"It's okay, I'll take you back to the pastry shop." Looking down at me, Zhao Zilong bent his lips slightly and gave me a rare smile.
Hehe, Zhao Zilong's smile is really flattering.
"Don't be afraid, it's almost there, it's almost there......" Holding me, he walked faster and faster.
"Guo Jia, Guo Jia!" kicked the door open, and Zhao Zilong shouted.
I hung my head weakly and leaned into his arms, and the blood in my mouth could not be stopped. Just now, maybe as long as he is one step too late, I will really be choked by Dong Zhuo.
But...... There is a small voice in my heart saying, no, no, Dong Zhuo won't......
"What's wrong...... Guo Jia's sleepy voice sounded in the door, he rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room, and then suddenly sobered up, "Ruoruo!" ”
"Let's see if it can be cured." Zhao Zilong hurriedly carried me into the room and placed me on the upholstered couch.
I've never seen such a frightened expression on Guo Jia's face, and I think I'm really badly hurt.
The stinging pain in my throat came in bursts, and I opened my mouth and swallowed a mouthful of blood. I don't know how I have so much blood in my mouth, the smell of blood makes me sick.
"Hurry up and get a doctor!" The first time I saw Guo Jia's angry appearance, his thin and thin appearance was not convincing.
"It's useless, she's not lightly injured, you look at her, I'll go find Wang Yun, that guy in Luoyang should have a way." Zhao Zilong said.
Guo Jia nodded hurriedly, his eyes looking red.
I tugged at Zhao Zilong's sleeve and didn't let go. He frowned and looked back at me, "What's wrong?" ”
I don't want to look for Wang Yun, Diao Chan's determination makes me afraid of him.
"Ruoruo, don't be afraid, you won't die, he will come back when he goes." Guo Jia sniffed, still crying.
I gritted my teeth, but I still wouldn't let go.
Ignoring me, Zhao Zilong forcibly shook off my hand and turned around and went out.
That guy is still just as hateful.
My thoughts blurred, and I felt my eyelids getting heavier and heavier......
"Don't sleep, don't sleep......" Guo Jia had tears in his eyes, "Don't die......"
I opened my eyes and looked at Guo Jia in a daze, this guy in front of me never seemed to know what a man was without tears, when he was a child in Liangzhou, I was caused to cry, and now that he has grown up, he still cries...... Obviously very smart, why is it that sometimes I am so stupid...... But he's crying for me.
I tried to raise my hand, but when I found that I couldn't do it, I pulled my lips hard to give him a comfort.
"Why do you want to laugh, you can cry when you are sad, why does he ask you to laugh and laugh wishfully, there is no shame in crying, what is there to be ashamed of being sad!" His tears fell even harder, "Do you think you are really that strong when you pretend to be casual all day long and miss someone with a smile?" Do you think everyone else is stupid! ”
What? It's really defeated to him, so I can cry, okay, while I don't have the strength to refute you, I'll give you a few more scoldings, but I know you've been slandering for a long time.
My consciousness gradually began to wander, and I was thinking about Diao Chan's move, which was indeed ruthless enough. Carrying the name of Xiaoxiao and gambling with his life, Dong Zhuo ...... It's going to go crazy.
It's so cold, it's so cold, I shrunk and felt like my whole body was convulsing, I wanted to curl up in a small ball, no one could notice my existence, it was really cold......
Zhong Ying, Zhong Ying, Zhong Ying......
It is said that when people are dying, the person they care about the most will appear in their minds.
Now, my mind is full of that person.
Picking me up was the beginning of his disaster. I guess I'm really his nemesis. For my sake, he was willing to be subordinated to others, and was stepped on by the fat guard and dismounted; For my sake, he swung his knife and cut off the fat man's head, and that was the first time I had ever seen him kill......
Ling'er's revenge, Wang Yun's appearance, the broken wedding, the reunion in Luoyang, the desire of the world, the pain of dying again, reborn from the grave...... The past came back one by one, and in the end, everything was just a pair of light brown eyes, arrogant and murderous, but suddenly, it was gentle, he became gentle, and called me softly: "Smile and smile......"
His eyes began to be gentle, the light brown, the light mildness, and he said to me, "Smile." ”
That's the most beautiful eye color in the world.
Zhong Ying......
"Don't die." In a trance, someone wrapped me in his arms, "I'm still alive, you are not allowed to die." The voice was gentle and domineering.
In a haze, I saw Guo Jia's clear eyes glowing red, and I saw the loneliness in the eyes of the man in white.
In a trance, I seemed to walk into a darkness, and suddenly I looked up and saw a starry sky, a siren ringing in my ears, and a noisy human voice......
"Anruo, Anruo......" the crowd screamed.
What's wrong? What's going on? Is my journey over time? Looking at the crowd above my head, I began to wonder.
"Don't die, I'm still alive, how can you die."
Suddenly, a voice rang in my ears. Suddenly, everything in front of me began to blur again, and it turned into a bubble...... I reached out and couldn't catch ...... Nothing can be caught.
"What is love? That kind of unrealistic thing, you told me so much, but it turned out to be all nonsense, if a person dies, what kind of love is there to talk about? In this way, it is better to tie you tightly to your side, hate me, and hate me. ”
"You know what? Dong Zhuo, he's going crazy......"
"Can you really leave? Ignoring his presence? ”
"Die, there is someone you care about, even if that person is not me, as long as there is someone you care about, you will never want to leave this troubled world, and never want to go back to your own world......"
"You can't escape ......"
In my ears, there was always a person speaking, gentle, gentle, without a trace of emotion.
My heart began to be astringent, as if it had been soaked in bitter rain......
Die? I thought I was going to die. I thought this time, I was going to die. As a result, God once again kept me alive, alive to witness this inevitable chaotic times, to live to witness this increasingly chaotic life......
I opened my eyes and saw a pair of bloodshot eyes.
Those gentle eyes were bloodshot.
When he saw that I was awake, he grinned and actually laughed. He had always been as gentle as him, even if it was only on the surface, but this was the first time I could see his demonic smile on his face.
"Do you know where I'm from?" My voice was surprisingly clear, as if I had never been hurt, as if I had just slept and then woken up.
"Maybe I didn't tell you, Guo Jia's master is my senior brother." He casually took the jade bowl beside him, scooped a spoonful of the sticky soup in the bowl, handed it to my lips, and smiled.
The soup was steaming, as if I knew I would wake up.
I'm a little stunned, the omnipotent master that Guo Jia admires is Wang Yun's senior brother?
I vaguely wanted to laugh, thinking that my origin was very mysterious, and I had been trying to find a way to get back, but there were many people who knew about it.
"As long as there are people who are concerned, they will never be able to leave this troubled world, and they will never be able to return to their own world?" Remembering the whisper in my ear just now, I muttered.
"Yes." He laughed, softly, but sadly.
I've been complaining about the heavens and people, and I've been looking for a way back, but it turns out that it's just because I'm worried......
I opened my mouth and swallowed the soup that had been handed to my lips, just the right temperature, neither cold nor hot.
"Am I related to Diao Chan?" Swallowing the soup in my mouth, I suddenly asked.
Wang Yun's hand holding the spoon froze slightly: "Why do you ask that?" ”
"She's my past life?" Looking at Wang Yun, I said what I had been speculating about for a long time.
"You're all the same." Frowning and hesitating, Wang Yun hesitated.
"In other words, we are the same person, just existing in different spaces, like me, from the future?" Pulling the corners of my lips, I didn't even know what I was talking about.
Wang Yun did not speak.
"No wonder I hurt." I frowned and muttered to myself, I was with Diao Chan...... Is it really the same person from a different time and space?
But if that's the case, Diao Chan is dead...... Will I still exist? He was dead in his previous life...... I should no longer exist in this life.
"Diao Chan ......" looked up at Wang Yun, "How's it going?" ”
"Diao Chan is good." Wang Yun looked at me, gently stroked my face, and gave me a cunning answer.
This answer made me unhappy, because the sable cicada in his mouth was ...... It's me.
"How long did I sleep?"
"Half a month."
He scooped another spoonful and brought it to my lips.
I opened my mouth and swallowed.
Half a month? I've been lying down for half a month?
"What about Guo Jia and Zhao Zilong?"
"In the pastry shop." Wang Yun wiped the corners of my mouth with a handkerchief.
I tilted my head slightly, reached for the handkerchief, and accidentally touched Wang Yun's left arm with my elbow.
Wang Yun's hand shook slightly, and the handkerchief fell to the ground.
I looked up at him suspiciously, but saw that his face was pale, and cold sweat was oozing from his forehead.
"What's wrong with you?"
"It's cold, and I'm cold." Obviously pale, he looked as usual.
"Lord Situ." A crisp sound.
I looked up and looked at where the voice came from, and it was a servant girl, with some familiar faces, holding a jade bowl in her hand, and in the bowl was hot soup.
Little eyebrows?
Isn't this the servant girl Xiaomei of the Zhaode Palace?
I looked at her with some surprise, and then looked around at the place, no wonder it was so familiar, this place was not ...... Princess Wan's bedroom, Zhaode Palace? I was taken captive from here, and now I have come full circle and come back to this place?
"Does this soup still need to be prepared every hour?" Xiaomei lowered her head and asked respectfully.
"No need, prepare some light dishes." Wang Yun commanded lightly.
"Yes." Xiaomei took the soup and bowed his head to lead the order.
Ready once an hour? I glanced down at the jade bowl in his hand, not knowing when I would wake up, so change it every hour? So I wake up to have hot soup? Half a month, every day? Looking at his bloodshot eyes, I frowned slightly.
"Lord Situ is really a waste of food, and he is not afraid of being punished by heaven for such a violent thing?" I bent my lips, and I didn't know what it was like.
Bringing the spoon to my lips again, he smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'm destined to be evil, and I'm not afraid of heaven." ”
I was stunned, my lips trembled unconsciously, and the soup in the spoon spilled out.
"Huh." He laughed and raised his sleeve to wipe my face, the pure white sleeve of his shirt was stained, and he didn't care.
I looked at him stunned, then noticed a woman walking in the doorway. Dressed in gorgeous palace clothes, she is as glamorous as a peach and plum, and she is Princess Wan. It's just that Princess Wan dressed up like this makes me a little unaccustomed.
When I saw her, I suddenly remembered Zhao Zilong, that snowy night, and Dong Zhuo pinching my throat, his appearance like a demon crawling out of the underworld, but it made my heart start to hurt...... Later, what happened? Guo Jia found Wang Yun? Wang Yun took me into the palace?
"Princess." Wang Yun stood up.
"I heard Xiaomei say that she woke up, so I came to take a look." Princess Wan looked at me.
"Well, just woke up." Wang Yun nodded, "Thank you, princess, for taking you in." ”
"You're welcome, Wang Situ has done his best for my Liu family, and this palace should be like this." Princess Wan smiled gracefully.
Take in? I was slightly stunned, and then I figured it out.
That woman died in the name of Xiaoxiao, and now Dong Zhuo must be chasing me all over the world, and the palace is the only safe place. After all, no one would have expected that I would hide in Princess Wan's bedroom, and the most dangerous place is the safest place. At this point, Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo coincide, and some heroes see the same thing.
This is the third time I've entered the palace.
The first time was that I was caught by a little poisonous tongue by mistake, and the second time was that Dong Zhuo personally sent me to the Zhaode Hall to ensure my safety, and this time, it was Wang Yun who sent me back again.
I feel like my life is like a circle that keeps circulating, so ironic, but so helpless.
At this time, looking at Princess Wan, I didn't know what to say, this woman has always been calculating, but she is so helpless.
"Your Highness the Princess." Xiaomei hurriedly ran in and said something in Princess Wan's ear.
Princess Wan was slightly stunned, and then looked back at Wang Yun: "Lord Situ took a step to speak." ”
Wang Yun nodded and helped me lie down: "Just woke up, rest again." ”
I obediently lay down and closed my eyes.
Hearing the sound of them leaving, I opened my eyes again, lifted the quilt, and sat up. Except for some weakness in his body, he didn't feel any discomfort on his body.
"Xiaomei, what's wrong, the princess is so anxious?" At the door, there was a muttered whisper.
"I heard that just now Dong Taishi's soldiers and horses went out of the city and encountered a group of caravans, and the result was ...... Those people were killed, they robbed women and property, cut off hundreds of human heads and hung them on carriages, and went all the way to Luoyang City...... I heard that the blood stained all the way......" said the maidservant girl named Xiaomei in a trembling voice.
"What? ...... without injustice," exclaimed the other maidservants.
"Yes, I heard that those people were choked off their necks alive, and their deaths were extremely horrifying."
I bit my lip until the smell of blood ran through my mouth. Turning his head, he was facing the bronze mirror. I was slightly stunned, and in the bronze mirror opposite, there was a woman's beautiful face, with fair and smooth skin, and there was not even a single blemish.
It was a face as bright as the moon.
That...... It's me?
I slowly raised my hand and stroked my face, and the woman in the bronze mirror on the other side also slowly raised my hand to caress her flawless face......
