[67] Put down the butcher's knife
As soon as my arm sank, the little poisonous tongue pulled me up, I looked down at the little white rabbit-like Liu Wei lying on the ground, his beautiful eyes could no longer be opened, he held my hand and slowly let go, slid down, and drooped......
The little poisonous tongue gritted his teeth and picked up Liu Wei, put him on the couch, and carefully wiped the black blood from his lips with his sleeves. Then, he lay down on his side beside Liu Bian, hugged the gradually cold corpse tightly, and snuggled up to Liu Bian's side, motionless, as if he was also dead.
"Little poisonous tongue......" I began.
"Shh......h The royal brother is asleep, his body is very cold, I have to help him cover the heat. Liu Xie murmured softly, like a child.
He's really just a kid.
He ...... "My heart tightened slightly.
"I know, he's dead." Without waiting for me to speak, he intercepted my words, and his faint voice was suddenly terrifyingly calm.
Liu Xie slowly sat up.
I looked at him.
"Brother Huang died for me." Liu Wei bit his lip slightly, "Sooner or later, one day, I will light Dong Zhuo on the sky lantern......"
Light the sky lantern...... With such a resentful look, on such a handsome and delicate face, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart.
"Little poisonous tongue, your imperial brother wants you to live well......" I was short of breath and said comforting words that I didn't even believe.
It's just that such comfort, so powerless, so pale......
"No, the imperial brother wants me to guard this big Han country." Looking down at the beautiful man on the couch who had no breath, the little poisonous tongue bit blood from his lips, "Are you worried about Dong Zhuo?" He suddenly looked at me with a look like lightning.
I was stunned.
For a split second, I suddenly had a thought that even scared me...... Holding Dong Zhuo...... Die together. If you love someone deeply, without him, it is like a bone leaving the flesh...... If that person is heinous, if that person is murderous...... Then the best thing to do is to die with him. Because...... I don't want to see him gradually become the Dong Taishi in history that everyone hates and has been infamous for thousands of years......
I'm so selfish...... What right do you have to decide someone else's life? If so...... I ...... with Wang Yun Isn't it the same?
I left the palace in despair, and I was at a loss. walked aimlessly along Luoyang Street, but in the end, he still stood outside the door of Taishifu.
Dong Zhuo was standing at the gate of the mansion, and the guards on the side all lowered their heads and looked uneasy. Seeing me, his brown eyes lit up: "You're back." ”
He's waiting for me? However, I have seen him kill people. More than once......
"Dinner is ready, let's go inside." He came and took my hand.
The white rabbit's dying appearance flashed in front of my eyes, and I lowered my head and gently broke free of his hand.
He stiffened slightly, and followed me into the house.
The dinner was not rich, but there was roast chicken. Habitually tearing off the chicken thighs, he handed it to me, a familiar taste.
"Did I make it, is it delicious?" With a hint of anticipation, he looked at me.
I bit the drumstick and didn't make a sound.
It was quiet, and the maidservants were all sent out, and he and I were the only ones left in the room.
"Hmm." Finally, I responded, but my heart was as sour as if I had been soaked in bitter wine.
"Hehe, that's good, that's good." Dong Zhuo's expression suddenly softened.
"Can you...... Don't kill people......" I didn't look at Dong Zhuo, I spoke, and my voice was a little difficult.
Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, his face was a little solemn, but after only a moment, he eased his expression again: "Okay." With a hint of indulgence, he smiled.
At that moment, I believed that even if I wanted his life, he would give it to me.
Across the table, he came to caress my cheek, but he froze slightly, not daring to touch my face.
With a low sigh from the bottom of my heart, I raised my hand to take his large hand and gently pressed it against my own cheek. His frown suddenly loosened, and his smile was distressing.
If...... I know that in the future, he will live up to this promise today. So, even if I am overshadowed by life...... Even if it tears me to pieces...... I would never say that.
Categorically not......
However, there are often not so many ifs in this world.
Recently, I have been getting more and more sleepy, and while I was eating dinner, for some reason, I was lying on the table and fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, Dong Zhuo was actually in front of my bed, looking like he hadn't slept all night. Seeing me wake up, he smiled and said, "No matter how you eat, you can fall asleep, are you not feeling well?" ”
I pressed my forehead, and my body did feel a little stuffy lately.
"No, just sleepy." I looked up and smiled as before.
"I have a whole day today, do you have anything you want to do, I will accompany you." Dong Zhuo raised his hand and pulled the strands of hair scattered on my forehead behind my ears.
He didn't make me smile, and I didn't admit that I was. It's as if we're deliberately avoiding something, carefully maintaining a happy existence.
With a chuckle, I pointed, "Comb my hair first." ”
He chuckled lowly, "Okay." ”
Pulling him to the bronze mirror, I sat down and he stood behind me. Feeling his warm palm gently fall on my head, I looked at the little woman in the bronze mirror, and it seemed that she was a little happy.
Sticking to the wooden comb, he carefully combed my hair, and he was reluctant to break even a single strand of hair.
"What kind of comb?" Through the bronze mirror, he looked into my eyes, brown eyes overflowing with a mild hue.
"Hmm......," I thought about it, and then laughed, "everything is up to you." ”
He laughed at once, and looked much more cheerful.
A little velvet flower dotted with two long braids, and the woman in the mirror suddenly became playful and cute. In fact, I know that he will only do this, and he has been like this since he was a child, and he will never turn a trick......
Breakfast was eaten in a restaurant, Dong Zhuo changed into a light blue cloth robe, shaved his beard, and tied up his long hair, which was quite handsome.
I took his hand and walked down the street, smiling and very happy.
"Childe, buy a flower and give it to Madame." A very beautiful little girl stepped forward, with flowers in a simple bamboo basket, very ordinary wildflowers, but because they were stained with early morning dewdrops, they were extraordinarily charming.
I turned my head sideways, looked at Dong Zhuo's slightly embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and chuckle.
"Childe, buy one for Madame, Madame is so pretty......" The little girl continued to lobby ingeniously.
The bright and handsome man in front of him, who would have thought that he was the infamous imperial master Dong Zhuo? It was probably the first time that someone other than me had spoken to him so naturally, without fear or disgust.
Zhong Ying in front of him and Dong Zhuo, who killed people, are like two people.
"How much is a stick?" Dong Zhuo opened his mouth, and he looked a little nervous.
Can you imagine Dong Zhuo's face with such a look? The corners of my mouth couldn't stop rising.
"Uh-huh......" The little girl seemed to be thinking about the price.
"Give it all to me." Dong Zhuo took a gold leaf and put it in the little girl's hand.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then immediately put the bamboo basket in Dong Zhuo's hand, and smiled brighter than a flower: "Thank you, kind son, my brother has something to eat......
In the mild warm sun of the early morning, I will still think of such a scene unconsciously after a long, long time.
Thinking of the warmth of the sunshine that day, thinking of Dong Zhuo's slightly embarrassed expression that day, and thinking of the dewdropping flowers in the hands of the little girl that day...... Everything seems to be a sign of happiness......
"Dong Zhuo!" Suddenly, there was a shout behind him.
Dong Zhuo's back stiffened suddenly, his expression was slightly cold, the bamboo basket was knocked over to the ground, and the delicate flowers fell to the ground.
He turned and looked at where the voice had come from.
The stall setters, the fateful ones, and even the beggars all suddenly stood up, with cold blades in their hands.
"Kill that thief!" In the crowd of passers-by, many people suddenly had more weapons in their hands.
Looking at their neat formation, it is clear that it has been designed a long time ago.
"Kill him!" They screamed frantically and pounced.
Trampling on the flowers all over the ground, they pounced on Dong Zhuo.
"You guys are here, don't move." After turning around and instructing me and the little girl who sold flowers, Dong Zhuo turned around and grabbed a big knife, and slashed at the crowd that rushed to him.
Seeing that the man was about to be cut in half by Dong Zhuo, and his soul returned to the underworld, Dong Zhuo took the knife stiffly.
He took the knife.
Because...... He promised me that he would never kill again.
The frightened man collapsed to the ground. More well-trained killers came, and Dong Zhuo narrowly avoided every knife, but he was restrained everywhere.
Because, he can't kill.
If it was before, these people in front of him, even if there were ten times more, Dong Zhuo would have killed a piece of armor without leaving a single piece of armor, and the flesh and blood were blurred...... But now, he is fighting and retreating, a little embarrassed......
With a wrong hand, Dong Zhuo was slashed on the arm, and blood spurted out.
As if hungry wolves had licked the smell of blood, cheers poured out from the crowd, who were hungry for more blood.
The little girl selling flowers screamed.
I reached out and took her into my arms: "Don't be afraid...... My voice was trembling, "Don't be afraid ......"
Because, I suddenly discovered, such a cannibalistic world. If you don't eat people, others will eat you, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive......
Hearing the scream, Dong Zhuo turned his head, his slightly brown eyes were overflowing with tenderness, and his lips moved slightly.
What did he say? I looked at him with wide eyes.
He said, "Laugh and laugh, don't look." ”
I obediently closed my eyes. There are tears, flowing quietly in my heart......
After a long time, a pair of hands gently touched my cheeks.
"I'm fine." The voice was slightly panting, but it was very gentle.
I opened my eyes and saw Dong Zhuo standing in front of me, surrounded by wounded people who had fallen to the ground, but no one died.
He promised me and did it.
"Childe, your flowers." A low voice.
I looked down and saw that the little girl was holding a flower in her palm, with some transparent petals, which was incredibly beautiful.
The flowers just now were trampled all over the ground, and they were all scattered into mud and dirty, but the flowers in the little girl's hands were strangely beautiful.
"This kind of flower is called Shuangfei, which is rare in the world and will never wither. I saw it on the edge of the cliff when I went up the mountain to pick flowers today, and I wanted to take it home for my brother to play, but ...... I'll give it to you. The little girl smiled and held the flower in her palm forward, "Legend has it that as long as a man and a woman who love each other have double flying, they will be together for the rest of their lives and will never be separated." ”
Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, and took the flower with some hesitation: "You...... Not afraid of me? ”
"Why should I be afraid of you?" The little girl asked innocently.
"I'm Dong Zhuo."
"So what?"
Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, so what? So what? Yes, he is Dong Zhuo, so what?
"When Dong Zhuo didn't enter Beijing, my brother and I lost our father and mother in the war...... the little girl said in a low voice, her expression was slightly gloomy, and then she turned around and waved her hand, "I'm going back, my brother is still waiting for me to go back to cook...... I wish my son and my wife a good ...... for a hundred years."
Happily married......
Dong Zhuo gently hugged me and inserted Shuangfei into my sideburns: "Life and life, never separate." He smiled heartily.
"You're hurt." I ripped off my hairband and tied it around his wound.
"It doesn't hurt at all." He smiled warmly.
Looking at Dong Zhuo, I smiled.
There was a sudden chill behind me, my scalp was numb, and my whole body was on alert, someone sneaked attack!
The smile was slightly stiff, and his face was suddenly as cold as frost, Dong Zhuo raised his foot and kicked a big knife at his foot away.
Behind him, there was the sound of a sharp blade piercing the flesh......
I turned slowly, and behind me, less than half a meter away, there was a killer, killed on the spot, dark red blood gushing out along the wound pierced by the big knife......
Looking back at Dong Zhuo, there was the color of blood in his brown eyes.
"I'm sorry." With a slightly stiff look, he actually apologized, and his face was a little uneasy.
Apologize for killing someone?
Dong Zhuo, who doesn't kill people, is like a beast with its teeth pulled out.
"As long as you're safe, I won't kill." After a while, he added in a low voice.
In other words, is it just for me to pick up the knife of slaughter in my hand?
I raised my hand to stroke the double fly between my sideburns and smiled bitterly. It turns out that I am the culprit and the culprit...... It's an out-and-out red face.
"What would happen to you if I died?" Quietly, I heard my own voice.
Dong Zhuo was slightly stunned, looked at me fixedly, gasping slightly, his light brown eyes stained with blood.
I unconsciously hid my left hand behind my back, saying that ten fingers are connected to my heart, and now, with the wound on my fingertips, my heart began to ache......
It's like the pain that pierced my fingertips that day in Situfu......
