142 Greed for Joy (1)
Greedy Joy (1)
When Rong Jin woke up from a long slumber, it was pitch black in front of him.
Her mind was groggy and dull, and her eyes fell on the void for a few moments before she began to realize that something was wrong.
The bedding on the bed was thicker and softer than the one at home, the pillows were not sewn from buckwheat husks and flowers, and the incense in the bed tent was very different from what she used to do.
She wanted to get up to check, but found that her whole body was soft, as if she was out of her control, and she couldn't even do something as simple as raising her hand.
Is it in a dream?
Rong Jin tried his best to recall, but he only vaguely remembered the sound of cicadas in Fuhui Town, which disturbed people and made it difficult to calm down. After she finished embroidering the embroidery that was due to be delivered in a few days, she blew out the candle and went to bed to rest.
There was nothing out of the ordinary, and she had no clue.
The air was filled with vague moisture, faintly damp, as if it had just rained heavily.
Rong Jin pinched his palm, listened to the faint sound of water, and suddenly realized that he was on the boat.
This thought came to her mind like a needle stuck in her drowsy nerves, and she finally came to her senses.
And the heart also sank, like being immersed in the icy water of the cold winter wax moon.
It's not a dream, it's Shen Yu.
He is the only one who has this ability, and he is the only one who will go to great lengths to find a needle in a haystack to take her away from Fleur Town.
When he made up his mind to escape, Rong Jin thought that there might be such a day.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Towards the wee hours of the morning, it rained intermittently, the river was filled with fog, and the faint sunlight was sometimes obscured by clouds, which was almost breathless.
When the sound of pushing the door sounded, most of the medicinal effects on Rong Jin's body were gone, and he was at least able to stand up.
The silver hairpin with curly hair slid down the pillow, and the long black and thick hair scattered over the shoulders, setting off the pale face, and the black and white pupils were also filled with mist.
The moment his figure was reflected, Shen Yu remembered the desperate deer in the autumn hunt in the past.
"It's been a long time," Shen Yu hung up the azure bed tent casually and looked at her condescendingly, "Jinjin." โ
Obviously, he has returned to Beijing, and Xun Shuo and others should help regulate his body.
But Shen Yu's situation didn't look much better than when Xuanzhou was separated, he was still sickly, and his deep gaze was worse than before.
Rong Jin subconsciously shrank back a little, until he was against the wall, hugging his knees and curling up, in a completely defensive posture.
She pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak.
Because there is no excuse for fleeing from this matter in the past, what is there not to understand about a smart person like Shen Yu?
Shen Yu took in her reaction, and suddenly smiled: "When you were in Huzhou, you were clever and beautiful, but now, you don't even bother to make up lies?" โ
Rong Jin tightened her dress and said softly, "What do you want to hear?" โ
"You just need to say that you are hiding your name to recuperate from your injuries in order to avoid the pursuit of the assassins, but there is no suitable person to send a letter to me, so this is delayed......" Shen Yu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I'll believe it?" โ
Rong Jin lowered his eyelashes.
In the past, with the help of Shen Heng, Yu Lingchuan escaped, and she and Shen Yu knew this matter well, and it was not something that could be taken over in a few words.
It really doesn't make much sense to whitewash the peace like this.
Shen Yu's eyes became heavier, he knelt on the couch with one leg bent and half knelt, and beckoned to her: "Jinjin, come here." โ
This is the last chance he has ever been given.
If she obeyed, even if she was just as humble and wronged as before, it would be okay for Shen Yu, as long as she stayed by her side without leaving an inch.
But Rong Jin still didn't move, she raised her hand to cover her eyes, she was tired and tired of everything that came suddenly, and she didn't want to go back to the previous situation: "Since you understand it in your heart, why do you have to force ......"
Shen Yu didn't give Rong Jin a chance to finish speaking.
The next moment, leaned over and pinched her chin, and blocked her lips as if angry, as if he wanted to dismantle her and eat her.
The two hadn't been so close for a long time.
Rong Jin was stunned for a moment, and then struggled to push the person away.
But the disparity in strength made her struggle meaningless, and even her voice was muffled and fragmented.
There was bloody qi spreading between his lips and teeth, and instead of restraining himself, Shen Yu intensified it.
Rong Jin still has the residual medicinal strength on his body, and his hands and feet can't use any strength at all, so he can only fiddle with it at this time.
Her hands were in one place, red marks by the laceration embroidered with lotus flowers, which looked shocking on her porcelain-white skin, but evoked a trace of indescribable impulse.
Shen Yu's eyelashes fluttered, his hands lost weight, and the sound of brocade tearing sounded in the room.
Rong Jin panicked: "You're crazy!" โ
Although there have been many such things between the two, and there are also things out of control, Shen Yu has never forced her so forcefully like now.
"I'm a madman," Shen Yu chuckled very lightly, "Jinjin, did you just know today?" โ
Shen Yu's actions in the past were also crazy, otherwise, he would not have been able to do such a thing as shooting Qin Zhan.
But it doesn't work on her.
Rong Jin struggled in vain, and when he was almost desperate, there was a knock on the door.
As if she had been pardoned, Shen Yu's expression turned cold: "What's the matter?" โ
"There's news from Beijing," a hoarse voice sounded outside the door, reminding, "Childe, you better see for yourself." โ
Shang Lu's calm voice was like a basin of cold water, extinguishing a lot of the nameless ghost fire that ignited in his heart.
And Rong Jin had already taken this opportunity to shrink into the brocade quilt, covering a large area of exposed skin, and the whole person trembled uncontrollably, as if he was extremely afraid.
The bed was a mess, and the torn fabric was crumpled into shape.
A silent reminder of what kind of atrocities he almost committed when he was out of control.
Shen Yu was silent for a moment and got up to leave.
When the door was opened and closed, a river breeze with a fishy smell after the rain poured in, and Rong Jin buried himself deeper and deeper, wrapped into a motionless silkworm chrysalis.
Shang Lu's eyes are sharp, but in an instant, he has a full view of the situation in the house.
As his gaze swept over the bed, he paused slightly, then staggered his gaze.
The matter of robbing Rong Jin to the ship was done by him with Shen Yu, and it didn't take much effort from beginning to end, and the only hesitation was also dissipated by Shen Yu's understatement rhetorical question.
Shang Lu is the middle and long of the Mobei dungeon
The big "wolf cubs" have always acted only according to instinct before being taught those etiquette and morality.
Disgusted to abandon, or killed.
If you like it, even if you do everything possible, you have to stay by your side.
And Shen Yu is also such a person in his bones.
At the moment, he is getting what he wants, but he is not happy in his heart, as if he has blocked a ball of cotton, especially after seeing Rong Jin like a pool of stagnant water.
Shang Lu sensed a little resistance from Rong Jin's attitude, his footsteps paused slightly, stopped a few steps in front of the bed, and explained in a low voice: "I'm just here to deliver some food." โ
Seeing that she still didn't seem to be at ease, she added: "If you're worried, I can try it first." โ
Rong Jin is draped in a brocade quilt and hangs his eyelashes, like a portrait made of white porcelain.
Shang Lu looked down at his toes and crushed them hard, and the floor creaked.
He was depressed and at a loss in his heart, waited for a while, and whispered: "Sister, I thought you would ask me, how did you survive the encirclement and suppression of the pursuing soldiers in the first place, and was you seriously injured at that time?" โ
Rong Jin closed his eyes.
Since the separation, she has been worried about this, and when Lingchuan reunited, she was also secretly sad when she saw the almost fatal wound on Shang Lu's throat from a distance.
After all, in a sense, the injury was suffered to protect her.
"At that time...... Thank you very much. โ
Rong Jin tried to slow down his voice, just like he did back then, but there was a strangeness and discomfort in his voice that could not be concealed.
Shang Lu was difficult to describe the difference from the past in words, but his intuition still made him understand the subtle difference, the whole person was like a fried beast, but he didn't dare to open his teeth and dance his claws.
Fear of adding fuel to the fire and pushing people further.
Rong Jin slightly loosened the thin quilt he was holding tightly, revealing his slender wrist, and the red marks on it had turned into bruises, which were left by Shen Yu this morning.
She is constantly reminded that she is nothing more than fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
Going round and round, it seems like everything is back to when it started, and it's overwhelming.
"I'm not hungry," Rong Jin saw his faint restlessness and said softly, "It's just that my dress is torn, can you help me with another set of clothes?" โ
There was no extra clothing in the room, and the dress she had been wearing when she came, most of which had been destroyed in the tearing this morning, would be obscured.
Although Shang Lu was not very old, he was not ignorant of this, on the contrary, he had seen a lot of so-called male and female โกโก in the dungeon since he was a child.
After just a glance, I understood.
He didn't dare to think about it, so he stammered and agreed, and immediately went about it.
This trip came in a hurry, Shen Yu was not used to taking maids, the boat was full of people, and only the old cook was a woman.
Shang Lu had to ask her to borrow a dress, although the material was rougher and the color was more old-fashioned, but it was cleanly washed, with some soapy fragrance.
was about to turn back to send it to Rong Jin, but happened to meet Shen Yu.
Although it was summer at this time, it was rainy and the river breeze was cold.
Shen Yu only wore a single coat and stood outside for an unknown amount of time, and he had already been soaked in rainwater. The hair was also stained with fine droplets, and there were broken hairs hanging down on the forehead, which looked quite embarrassed.
When he noticed the clothes that Shang Lu was holding in his arms, Shen Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, silently
asked.
Shang Lu explained in a few words, and said, "Childe, you should treat Sister Rong more slowly......
Then, in Shen Yu's uncertain gaze, his voice became lower and lower.
Shen Yu pinched his eyebrows heavily, leaving two red marks.
Shang Lu hesitated: "Is it because of You Chuan's method?" โ
In all fairness, Yukawa's so-called method of "planting poison" is indeed effective, and the effect alone is even better than all the previous ones.
But there are also corresponding disadvantages.
It seems to affect people's hearts unconsciously, especially when the mood fluctuates too much, even people like Shen Yu may find it difficult to control themselves.
"Perhaps."
Shen Yu glanced at the clothes in Shang Lu's arms again, because he was firmly protected, he was not contaminated with half a drop of rain, but he didn't like it no matter how he looked at it, and said coldly: "You don't need to do this matter." โ
Shang Lu was stunned, thinking that Shen Yu was going to deliver it in person, so he gave him the clothes.
Shen Yu didn't answer.
In the end, what was sent to Rong Jin was a man's style of clothing, ink-colored, and the material was excellent, which was personally sent by Shen Yu and placed on the pillow.
Rong Jin smelled the familiar aroma of Qi Nan, and then guessed that this was Shen Yu's own clothes, and froze.
"You," Rong Jin stumbled, unable to understand this, "isn't there a woman's clothes on this ship?" What is the difference in size between you and me? โ
"If not, forget it." Shen Yu said lightly.
The choice he gave was to wear it or not, and there was no other choice.
Rong Jin consciously tasted three points of humiliation and ambiguity, shame and anger, his cheeks immediately warmed up, and he was red from behind his ears to his neck, as if he had been coated with rouge.
But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
Clothes that didn't fit could still be altered slightly, but clothes that were torn to tatters couldn't be worn at all, unless she wanted to shrink into the room and not move an inch.
It wasn't until the evening that Rong Jin finally got up and changed his clothes.
She rolled up her sleeves, cut off the hem of her overly long garment, and tied the ties around her waist tightly, so that her shoulders could not hold up, but at first glance she was able to make a living.
It's just that the clothes are stained with Shen Yu's usual incense, lingering, as if they are besieging her.
Qi Nan is fragrant, Rong Jin has never used this spice since he left Shen Yu's side, and he is quite uncomfortable.
This kind of dress is not suitable for curling hair, so she only used a hairband to tie up her long hair, and there was no other decoration on her body.
As the rain subsided, and the fog began to fall into the night, it was even more vast, so that it was impossible to discern where it was, let alone talk about it.
"The undercurrent in the river is turbulent, and even if a person who knows water goes down, he may not be able to come back safe and sound." Shen Yu's voice sounded beside him, in a trance with a slight mockery, "Jinjin, I advise you that it is better not to have any thoughts of escaping. โ
With the lessons of the past, he can allow Rong Jin to go out, and he is sure that nothing goes wrong.
Rong Jin was taken aback, turned around, and looked back with vigilance.
There was a lot of difference in size between the two, and his clothes were empty on her, with a tie that outlined her slender waist, and the inky black fabric made her skin more and more frosty and snowy.
The placket was slightly spread out, and by the faint candlelight, the dots on the collarbone could be seen.
That was what Shen Yu deliberately left behind this morning.
If he hadn't been interrupted by Shang Lu, he would have been unable to restrain himself, from top to bottom, from outside to inside, wanting to leave his mark on her everywhere.
His gaze was unconcealed, almost boneless, and Rong Jin was extremely familiar with it, and almost fled back to his room in the desert, firmly against the door.
My heart beat violently, and after a long time, I gradually calmed down.!
