Chapter 31: Afang's Tears

%&*";%&*";

December 206 BC

On the third day after entering Xianyang, I finally returned to Afang Palace again.

The carriage slowly drove into the house, which was no longer guarded by guards and Qin soldiers.

It's been four years since I've been gone, and I want to come back to see Luoying and Xiangzi, and although it's very likely that they've escaped from the war, I'd like to come back and try my luck.

The carriage stopped in front of the Zhao Palace, and I got out of the carriage with the help of the little maid, but I didn't see anyone waiting at the door.

"Nobody?" I asked the creeps who came over in advance to report it.

"I don't know, I've been here in the morning, I've walked around in there, and I haven't seen anyone."

"Not a single one." My face darkened, and my hand in my sleeve clenched.

"If Madame is not at ease, you can go in and see for yourself." Xiao Bing said: "I heard that many of the soldiers who entered the customs before ran to the Afang Palace to seek fun.

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but feel a pang in my heart, and rushed into the garden without even thinking about it.

Although Luo Ying and Xiangzi are not stunning, they are both beautiful, and they are also outstanding among so many palace maids in Zhao Palace.

"Luoying, Xiangzi." I shouted, "Are you here, I'm Sister Cher, I'm back."

I came to the room where I was living before, and I gently pushed it with my hand, and the door couldn't be opened. It should have been a latch from the inside. The two of them must be inside. Thinking of this, I increased the strength of my hand, and shouted while clapping: "Luoying, Xiangzi, I'm Sister Xue'er, open the door quickly."

But no one inside responded to me, and no matter how hard I tried to slap the door, I couldn't slam the door open.

Seeing that I was anxious, the soldier who was following me simply pulled out the knife at his waist, and looked hard through the crack in the door.

The moment the door was opened, a thick smell of blood came over the room, disgusting, the soldier was so smoked that he covered his nose and retreated, and I looked at the scene in the room, and I couldn't say a word.

The shattered bookshelves, the bamboo slips that fell to the ground, the strings of the guqin on the platform were broken, the curtains hanging in the room were splashed with blood, and then, on the old bed, there were two naked/naked women with daggers.

I know the women with daggers.I haven't seen them for four years.They have grown into slim women.Their already beautiful faces are as outstanding as hibiscus out of the water.And the corpse that was stabbed to a bloody point.Judging from the clothes.It should be the soldiers who have just entered Xianyang these days.

"Falling Ying...... Xiangzi ......: "I walked slowly towards them, trying to take them into my arms and comfort them, but they suddenly pointed the dagger in their hands at me, and cried hoarsely, "Don't come."

I was so frightened that I stood still and didn't dare to move, I could only look at them in disbelief...... Xiangzi ...... I'm Sister Cher......"

"Sister Xue'er......" Luo Ying cried and muttered, "Sister Xue'er, you're too late to come back...... I've ...... There is no way...... I'm going to serve you again...... Such a filthy body...... I've ...... Disgusted...... I ......"

"No, don't, I beg you." I wanted to step forward, but Xiangzi suddenly threw the dagger in his hand, and the dagger grazed my cheek, cutting off a few strands of hair on my cheek.

"Sister Cher...... You go back, you shouldn't be with us now." Xiangzi's voice was cold and lifeless: "We are the palace maids of Afang Palace, we are the remnants of the Qin Dynasty, we are the objects to be executed, we have something to do with us, it will do you no harm, and as you can see, we have already killed Liu Bang's soldiers, we are prisoners, and we will not live long."

"There is no such thing." I was so angry that I burst into tears: "You have known me for so many years, in your opinion, do I need those fame and status? No, I only need people who are important to me, I live because of those who are important to me, I treat you as sisters, how can you turn your back on me with death."

"But......" Luoying's voice was desperate: "We are now a defiled body...... Already...... It's filthy......"

Hearing her say this, I rushed straight over, snatched the dagger from her hand and threw it into the distance, and then pulled down the curtain and put it on them, crying, "If I were defiled today, would you dislike me because of it? You won't. It will be the same for me, whether you kill anyone or not, you are all my sisters, I will protect you...... It's mine...... Silly girls......"

When I was fourteen years old, I came to Xianyang Palace.At that time, I was in my youth.Innocent and didn't know how to disguise.I have a sister named Xiaoxu who grew up together.She is innocent and cute.But she is lively and kind.Xiaoxu and I have two little sisters.They are still young and don't understand the world.They should always follow us.There is happiness on their immature faces.

At the age of twenty, I returned to Xianyang Palace.At this time, my youth was no more.Indifferent and quiet like a stone statue.The sister who grew up together named Xiao Xu left me four years ago.She died a desolate death.Silent but desperate.The girl who once followed me and Xiao Xu has grown up.At this moment, all their heavenly battles are dead.Only hatred and pain burn in their eyes.

"Cry." I reached out and stroked their thin cheeks, holding back tears and whispering, "Cry out, it's all right...... It's all right......"

"Sister Cher." The strength of the pretense was finally broken, and they unloaded the frost and resistance on their faces, and lay on my lap, crying out in pain and hoarseness, and the hoarse cry sounded desolate and desperate, but in this encounter poured new hope.

"Come back with me." I combed their sweaty and bloody hair, patted their trembling shoulders, whispered like a baby, "Stay by my side as I did four years ago, talk to me in the evening, go for a walk, get up early to change my clothes and comb my hair, we're so young, there's still a lot to do, so, never think about death."

Time is a sad old song.I know that everything can no longer go back to the past.Mistakes and pains can't become a cloud of smoke.But life is so long.How can we stop here.No matter how painful we are, we can't give up hope.No matter how sad we are, we can't stop moving.Because only by carrying the pain and striding forward.This is life.
