[60] All or nothing
"Wait for me! I'll bring him to you......"
Lu Bu ignored my shouts and rode away without looking back.
I stopped and stood still, looking at the lonely figure that was getting farther and farther away.
"Regret it?" Guo Jia's voice sounded behind me, "Regret hurting him?" ”
I turned my head and said nothing.
"How sad should it be?" The faint words drifted into my ears so faintly.
Lu Bu's lonely figure stung my heart, and I turned my head and glared at Guo Jia, this guy, do you have to open a pot like this!
As soon as I turned around, the cold and slender hand slowly touched my cheek.
"How sad must it be...... If it weren't for the extreme sadness, if it wouldn't hurt others. ”
I was stunned. Tears actually came out of his eyes because of such a sentence.
Guo Jia, count yourself ruthless.
Clear eyes are the wisdom to see through everything, and Guo Jia gently stroked the tears from my face.
"What about you? Do you have something to hide from me? Looking at her steadily, I suddenly spoke.
His fingers stiffened slightly, and Guo Jia pursed his lips.
I lowered my eyes: "Thank you for not lying to me." ”
"What are you doing? There are so many people queuing up outside, is the rouge cake steamed! Zhao Zilong strode in, took Guo Jia and left.
Guo Jia smiled bitterly and let go of my hand and walked out resignedly.
Turning to look out the window, the figure was long gone.
Lu Buta...... Will you really bring Zhong Ying to see me? Zhong Ying is here, can you recognize me? Recognize me, what will he do?
A series of questions, never so many questions, never so many concerns.
However, I suddenly wanted to know, for Zhong Ying, is it more important to smile or happiness?
I...... It's his nemesis.
Trembling slightly, this weather is really cold. I rubbed my hands together and turned to run to the lobby, which was a bit too lively.
"Childe, give me a box of rouge cakes."
"Childe, I want a box of ...... too"
"Childe ......"
"Childe, please give me a box of ......"
I don't know if it's the beautiful male effect, this young lady in Luoyang City who likes to eat rouge cakes suddenly increased. Looking at the stalls in the neighborhood, there is no one to pay attention to, and I think it must be very red-eyed.
With a smile and a very kind face, I walked up to the hairless donkey that was circling the stone mill, removed the braised hooves tied to the top of its head and stuffed it into its mouth, and then unloaded the stone mill tied to it.
Xiao Mao looked at me with a frightened face, and didn't dare to touch the tempting braised hooves, as if I had poisoned them.
I just didn't care about it, and pushed it up and down on my own. One, two, three...... My back hurts a little and my head starts to sweat. People really need to work, full of lust, and if they are extremely tired, they will not have so many cranky thoughts. The little hair next to him began to gnaw on the bones, and I was already sweating. It's not easy to make yourself sweat in the winter.
"Take a break." Someone pulled me down.
I swayed, a little unsteady on my gait.
"It's getting dark." The man sighed softly, slowing his tone.
I looked up, my vision blurred.
Looking out the door, sure enough, the people on the street had dispersed at some point, and it was dark.
"That's it for today, if only I worked so hard every day."
I saw clearly that it was Zhao Zilong who was standing in front of me chattering.
"Your own body knows by itself, and you will suffer if you toss it any longer." Zhao Zilong looked a little fierce.
"Ruoruo, it's okay, I'll boil medicine for you." Guo Jia on the side suddenly smiled and spoke.
I shook a little and went back to my room at once.
Turning around suspiciously, I seemed to see the smile in Guo Jia's eyes, he, shouldn't he mean it......
When I got back to my room, I lit the candle and noticed a delicate embroidered bag by the window. I walked to the window and pushed it open, the cold moon was hanging high in the sky, and the remnants of snow on the opposite street stained the footprints, and some dirty.
I lowered my head and took off the embroidery bag and opened it. Inside the embroidery bag lies a puppet doll. It's just, the puppet...... Something familiar. I reached out and took it out, and the little puppet doll was lying quietly in the palm of my hand, a little like me between my eyebrows and eyes.
I was slightly stunned: "Lele? ”
It's the puppet doll that appeared in my dreams!
In my dream, Dong Zhuo gave me a birthday gift, that puppet doll called Lele!
Has Dong Zhuo been here? How could it be so coincidental? What is this, a dream come true?
In the distance, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.
"Smile girl." Outside the door, someone called softly.
I subconsciously walked out of the room.
Zhao Zilong didn't know when he also walked out of the room, he took off the reverse scales hanging on the wall, and grabbed me with a wary face.
"Who?" Calmly, Zhao Zilong frowned.
At this time, he is not the sloppy drunk, nor the sleepy guy, but the real Zhao Zilong.
"Mrs. Dong sent me to pick up Miss Xiaoxiao and return home." Outside the door, someone said loudly.
There was a roar in my ears, and I was slightly stunned, and I couldn't react.
Is Lu Bu really going to take me back to the Dong Mansion as promised? Dong Zhuo, is he waiting for me in the house? What kind of mood will he be in now......
"I was thinking, if you don't recognize me, I won't recognize you."
"Why?"
"Because, how can Zhong Ying not recognize his smile?"
"Okay, if you get lost in the future, remember to stand still and don't move, wait for me to come to you."
Okay, if you get lost in the future, remember to stand still and wait for me to come looking for you.
Zhong Ying, do you finally remember to come to me?
You're coming to pick me up?
As if bewitched, I stepped forward and gently pulled the latch open.
Cowering for a moment, I saw four palanquin drivers standing outside the house, and a delicate palanquin parked next to it.
"Miss, my lord is waiting for you in the Taishi Mansion." One bowed his head and said respectfully.
The heart that thought that it had been frozen to death gradually began to warm up little by little, thinking that I could ignore Dong Zhuo's existence and tell myself that even without Dong Zhuo, I could live happily...... But at this moment, I suddenly wanted to grow wings, clouds under my feet, and rush back to Dong Zhuo's side, it was really spineless.
"Don't wake up Fengxiao, I'll go back when I go." Glancing up at Zhao Zilong, I spoke.
Zhao Zilong frowned, and after a while, he finally nodded: "Be careful yourself." ”
I turned around and got into the sedan chair and lowered the sedan curtain.
Outside, there was not even a trace of wind, only the squeaky sound of the sedan man's feet stepping on the residual snow on the ground.
At this time, if it weren't for the sudden rush of emotions in my heart, if it wasn't for my carelessness, I would have found a lot of flaws.
For example, why didn't Lu Bu come with him?
For example, why didn't Zhong Ying come to pick me up in person? In the past, whenever I ran into something big, I would be put aside.
Like what...... How's Diao Chan......
However, at the time, I didn't think much of it.
The moon disappeared at some point, and the sky began to snow again. Occasionally, a few sparkling snowflakes flutter in through the car window, melt instantly, and then ...... Disappear.
The sedan chair stopped, I looked up, and subconsciously clenched the puppet doll in my hand.
The sedan curtain was lifted, and I saw that the door of the Taishi's Mansion was wide open, but there was not even a guard at the door. I started to get a little nervous for some reason.
"Miss, please come in." The palanquin driver bowed over and asked me to get out of the sedan chair.
I nodded, got off the sedan chair, and slowly walked into the Taishi Mansion in the snow.
That kind of scene, indescribably bleak and beautiful.
The air around is fresh and cold, and the snow is as beautiful as a fantasy.
I walked all the way, but there was not even a single figure.
The sky was dark, the lanterns in the house were glowing, the snow was falling, and I was standing in the courtyard, standing in the snow, a little overwhelmed. The light of the lantern reflected my own shadow obliquely in the snow, and I looked down at the elongated shadow beneath my feet in a daze, looking a little dazed.
"Squeak", the door on the opposite side suddenly opened.
Suddenly looking up, I saw a pale-faced woman slowly walking out, her hands slightly supported on her waist, and her abdomen slightly bulging. At this time, she was so thin that she only had a handful of bones, and her whole body seemed to have only a raised piece of flesh in her abdomen.
Frowning, I subconsciously turned around and was about to leave. Sure enough, Zhong Ying is not here. I sighed in my heart that I had slipped into such an obvious situation so stupidly.
But the door was shut, and no matter how much I pushed it, I couldn't open it.
"Long time no see." She laughed and walked up behind me, "Scared? I look ugly. ”
"What do you want to do?" I turned my head to look at her, frowning slightly, no matter how stupid I was, I would smell something unusual.
"Zhong Ying is not here, I am very disappointed." She laughed.
I looked at her as if I was looking in a mirror and didn't speak.
"Actually, I like you very much." Diao Chan smiled slightly, "When I was rescued by you when I fell into the water in the palace, I couldn't help but like you." ”
"It's a pity that even that fall into the water was planned." I spoke lightly, reminding her.
"yes, that's a shame." Diao Chan nodded, his expression a little gloomy, "It looks so similar, as if it is a person, so fateful, I thought ...... We can be good sisters. ”
"What do you want to say?" A strong sense of uneasiness came over me, and I looked at the woman in front of me, her face did not have half of the joy of becoming a mother, but faintly appeared, it was a dead air.
"Nothing, just wanted to talk to you and tell you some truths, some stories." She put her very thin hands on my hands and tried to pull me into the house.
I shook her off.
"You can't get out." She looked at me with a smile and took my hand again, and dragged me into the house without resisting me.
It was warm in the room, and she pulled me to sit down as if we were really good sisters.
"I'm sorry I scared you last time." She smiled apologetically at me, completely paranoid as before, and raised her hand to pour me a cup of hot tea, and she added, "I thought that after you died, my father-in-law never looked at me again." Every day, he went up, down, made snacks, and poured them out, as if everything was the same as before. But I know that everything is different, and the heart of the Father-in-law is dead. ”
Looking at the steaming heat of the hot tea, I remembered the inscription on the grave that day, which was "bury the heart".
"Thinking that you were missing, Dong Zhuo turned the whole of Luoyang over. Later, there was chaos in the palace...... Diao Chan frowned slightly, "Dong Zhuo defiled Princess Wan'......"
I lowered my eyes, it turned out to be true, and I unexpectedly thought of Zhao Zilong's loneliness.
Dong Zhuo said, he can't find a smile back, he wants Luoyang ......" After a pause, Diao Chan smiled faintly, "He wants Luoyang to be a sea of blood." ”
I know that he has always been so resolute and domineering, reckless.
"My father-in-law's plan succeeded, and Dong Zhuo really became the target of everyone, but ...... The coalition forces that had not yet waited for the assembled forces to arrive in Luoyang...... Dong Zhuo was going to attack the abolished emperor Hongnong. Diao Chan looked at me and smiled palely," Dong Zhuo ...... Far more terrifying than you think...... It's too late. So, my father-in-law gave me to Dong Zhuo. ”
I'm still silent.
"The father-in-law said that he cured the smiling face and gave him a complete smile." Diao Chan lowered her head, and green silk slipped down her cheeks, covering her pale face, "Do you know why I'm telling you this now?" Because...... I bought enough time for my father-in-law. She looked up again at me.
I started to chill, and involuntarily picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
"I married Dong Zhuo in your name." She smiled lightly, and also poured herself tea, her slender and thin hands gently covered the teacup, she was trembling, "In the past few months, I finally understand why you fell in love with Dong Zhuo." ”
I was stunned and looked up at her.
"Even if you are cruel to the people of the world, even if you betray the people of the world." After taking a sip of tea, Diao Chan laughed, "For Xiaoxiao, he will always take care of it wholeheartedly." ”
My heart began to throb for a while, and I lowered my head to drink tea.
"That kind of love that never leaves and goes deep into the bone marrow, even I will be moved...... Unfortunately, he didn't know that there were people in this world who looked so similar. Diao Chan looked sideways at me, "In the dark, perhaps, we have an inevitable connection. ”
Looking at the woman in front of me in confusion, I began to feel pain, a kind of desolation and mourning that destroyed the world, it was the sorrow and sorrow of Diao Chan, so deep that even I could feel it...... However, how can I feel Diao's heart?
I have thought about the opportunity and reason for crossing thousands of times, but at this time, I suddenly had a terrifying thought, what kind of connection do I have with Diao Chan? What kind of connection is there, even Dong Zhuo can't tell who is his smile......
Be...... Past and present lives?
"Sometimes think about what if...... I really just laughed, how nice it would be. She suddenly laughed, "Dong Zhuo's care, Lu Bu's protection, and my father-in-law's care...... Such a happy ......"
"If you want." I stared at her belly, calmer than I expected, "Then keep smiling......"
She paused slightly and looked up at me.
The unfinished wedding in Liangzhou, the look of pain on Dong Zhuo's face, I don't want to see it again! Incomplete wedding, incomplete happiness, I come from that different time and space, if one day I suddenly come to this world and leave suddenly, then what should Dong Zhuo do? If he is gone one day, how can I bear to turn his world upside down?
"I'd rather see you crying hysterically." She looked at me, "Why are you still so calm?" ”
"Otherwise, you teach me how to do it?" I chuckled, even if I was so sad that I was dying, I could laugh, I was an actor, and posturing has always been my specialty.
"If it were me, I would kill you, and then tell Dong Zhuo that I am the one who laughs." She looked at me and spoke slowly.
"Really? Sounds so easy. I nodded.
But...... If Dong Zhuo knew that he was not married to Xiaoxiao, if he knew that the woman who was pregnant with his child in his belly was not only not his Xiaoxiao, but also the murderer who caused him to be separated from Xiaoxiao forever, then ...... What should he do?
If he had loved me more, he would have killed her, but ...... That's one corpse, two lives. That woman had his flesh and bones in her womb. If he loves that child more, he will choose to continue to live as if nothing happened, continue to deceive himself, and continue to recognize the woman as a smile......
I don't like either answer. Rather than that, let the question remain a mystery forever.
"Don't want to do that?" The voice of the sable cicada rang in my ears.
I looked up at her, and she was smiling strangely.
"If you don't choose, then I'll choose." She looked at me with a smile and sadness in her eyes, "As long as my father-in-law wants, I will give it." Now that the coalition forces are ready to attack outside the Bishui Pass, my mission is ...... It's over. ”
I looked at Diao Chan, and my heart began to feel pain uncontrollably. What kind of entanglement is there between me and Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun. How should such an entanglement end?
"You know what? He was looking forward to the birth of this child. "She reached out and gently stroked her abdomen," he said, adding that he would give Xiaoxiao a real home. ”
It should be very happy, but I can't see a trace of happiness and warmth on her face.
"But we are all happy, what should my father-in-law do?" Suddenly looking up, Diao Chan looked at me, and his eyes were full of tears, "What should my father-in-law do?" Who will fill his loneliness? Who should soothe his gentle mourning? ”
She was crying, her thin shoulders shaking slightly.
Suddenly, I looked at Diao Chan's tear-stained appearance, slightly startled, and the teacup in my hand rolled to the ground, making a screeching sound.
"So, let Dong Zhuo go to hell." With tears in her eyes, she smiled slowly.
"You, since you love Wang Yun so much, you accompany him, you guard him!" I was vaguely angry.
"It's useless, no one can see it in the eyes of my father-in-law except you...... He can't see me, he can't see me......" She shook her head, tears falling down her face, and suddenly, she paused slightly, her brow furrowed, sweat oozing from her pale cheeks, and dark blood began to spill from her lips.
There was more and more blood...... More and more gushing out......
"You, what's wrong?!" Seeing blood gushing from her mouth, my face changed drastically, and I hurriedly stepped forward to support her, "What did you do?" ”
"Child, I killed his child......" With a mouthful of blood, she clutched her abdomen and muttered, "I killed Dong Zhuo's child, I want him to go to hell......" She looked at me, her eyes were exactly the same as mine, and they lit up strangely.
I felt the green tendons on my forehead throb faintly, and I raised my hand and slapped her pale face hard, and the puppet doll that I had been holding tightly in the palm of my hand fell to the ground.
She looked sideways at the puppet doll on the ground and smiled, "It's a nice birthday present." ”
"You put it outside my window?"
"This was meant to be for Xiaoxiao." Her breath was a little unsteady, and she reached out and slowly stroked her upper abdomen, "He said, this child's name is ......"
"Lele." I gritted my teeth.
"How do you know?" Diao Chan looked surprised.
"That's not just Dong Zhuo's child, it's also your child! Have you ever experienced what it's like to crawl out of a grave? Such a corrupt breath, so many disgusting bugs wriggling on you, I told myself over and over again, don't look at it, don't think about it...... I crawled out of the grave with my life in my funeral clothes, and it was all thanks to you! I roared, even my voice trembled, "But when I came back, it was Dong Zhuo's wedding that I witnessed, and at that moment, I even seemed to stop breathing, and I felt heart-rending pain." But because I saw Dong Zhuo's happy expression, that pain came to an abrupt end, I don't want to shatter his happiness, even if that happiness doesn't exist because of me! I thought it was a scam, it was a false happiness, but ...... Why, why did you shatter his happiness with your own hands?! I've tolerated it to such an extent, why don't you even leave him with false happiness?! ”
Clenching my fists, I roared like crazy.
Diao Chan covered his stomach and just smiled: "The first time I saw you angry, it turns out that you will also be angry......"
The roar snapped in her throat, and I saw a red underneath her skirt.
"You madman!" I opened the door and shouted, "Someone, is there anyone, Madame has a miscarriage, is there anyone here!" ”
My footsteps suffocated slightly, I held on to the threshold, the blood on my lips was gone, and I inexplicably felt that my stomach was a little empty, as if something had been poached alive.
The snow is rolling wildly, and there is a huge Taishi Mansion, how can there not even be a single figure?
"There won't be anyone, I added medicine for dinner, and no one will answer you." Behind him, Diao Chan's voice was so weak that it was almost impossible to hear it.
Gritting my teeth fiercely, I went back to the house and took a big coat to put on her, pulled her thin arm, and carried her out of the Taishi's Mansion to find a medical worker. She pushed me away, and I didn't know where she got so much strength, and I was pushed back a few steps by her.
"That's your child! That's your kid! How can you even use your own children as bargaining chips to hurt others! I trembled with anger.
"The coalition forces have arrived outside the city...... My Mission...... It's over. She looked at me and chuckled, covered in blood, "It's good that the child is gone, it's good ......"
Along the skirt, blood dripped down, and the red was dazzling...... I looked at the pale woman in front of me, and I couldn't stop the chill in my heart. I can't imagine Dong Zhuo's expression when he sees all this.
"You must hate me, you want to kill me......" she looked at me, "why not?" Why don't you kill me? I ruined your happiness, ruined Dong Zhuo's happiness, you hate me so much, kill me......"
I clenched my fists so tightly that even my finger bones were slightly white, and I bit my lip and stood there.
Seeing Diao Chan smiling at me with tears on her face, my heart began to ache faintly. I told myself that I should go, that I should not stay here, that I should not get into any more trouble that I should not have caused, but I could not move my feet even half a minute.
Diao Chan slowly got up and walked towards me unsteadily: "Kill me." She looked at me and smiled, a defiant look on her brow, and behind her, a line of crimson blood snaked her way.
I turned around and was about to leave.
She suddenly grabbed my hand, and the next moment, I felt in astonishment that my hands were being held by her, and in my palms, it was cold.
My footsteps froze in place, and I was stunned to see that there was a bright little golden arrow in her belly, which was a birthday gift from Dong Zhuo...... At this time, the tail end of the golden arrow was in my hand.
The arrow, stained with blood......
I wanted to shake off my hand, but she held it tightly.
"Hehe, you have always looked so strong, it turns out that you are dying to the death." She squinted and smiled, "I thought I could provoke you to kill me without having to do it myself, so ...... I overestimated you......"
"That's how you want to die." I gritted my teeth and said coldly, my throat tightening slightly.
"Sometimes, some people have to die."
I watched in amazement as her pale face was stained with scarlet blood. Why, all I have met are determined women? Ling'er is like this, Princess Wan is like this, Diao Chan is ...... The same is true......
I am from the future world, with a modern education, but it turns out that in my bones, I am still weak. I don't understand why women like them, who are supposed to embroider and play the piano in the boudoir and smile gently, can be so paranoid, so desperate and desperate......
They are gentle, and they even look weak, but it turns out that in their bones, there is something deeper hidden than me that is more arrogant and stubborn. Once they touch the forbidden land in their hearts, they will no longer be gentle, but become the most powerful weapon, the kind of terrible weapon that would rather die themselves than drag you to hell together......
"Nothing angers Dong Zhuo more than Xiaoxiao's death......" she laughed slowly, "I will die in the name of Xiaoxiao, and you, from now on, can only live in the name of Diao Chan......"
My mind went blank, and I couldn't digest the meaning of her words.
"That's the choice I made for you......" she bit her lip, grabbed my hand, and pulled out the golden arrow that had pierced deep into her abdomen.
Fishy sweet bright red liquid squirted all over my face......
Slowly closing my eyes, I felt a warm patch on my face, and the viscous liquid slowly coalesced and slid down my cheeks......
"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 Chan, the Diao Chan of your father-in-law......" was as angry as a gossamer, and when she spoke, her whole person was already on the ground, "In the name of Xiaoxiao, I will wipe it away with my blood, leaving no trace......"
Is this how she loves Wang Yun? So determined?
The golden arrow in my hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and I looked down at my blood-stained hands, stunned.
Diao Chan fell in a pool of blood, slowly closed his eyes, and there was still a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
What kind of love should be deep to the bone marrow...... Will she not hesitate to fight for her life to maintain the happiness of the man in white?
Subconsciously, I wanted to escape from this blood-soaked place. But I started to feel pain...... Even though there was no wound on my body, I began to feel pain, and my flesh and bones were separated in pain...... The pain is spinning......
Holding my abdomen, I sat on my knees, my face white and painful...... Why...... Why does it hurt so much......
It was as if a wound had been cut in the abdomen, and it hurt so much...... Holding his abdomen with both hands, there was obviously nothing there, but it hurt so much that he couldn't even take a step.
"Laugh!" Behind him, there was a thunderous roar.
