1 Drop
The surroundings were as dark as ink, and the heavens and the earth were silent, and Qi Mingle knew that she was about to die.
Death is pitiful and ridiculous.
Three days ago, Qi Mingle suddenly moved when he was offering incense in the Buddhist temple. When the hall shook violently, Qi Mingle subconsciously wanted to protect her sweetheart Wei Shu. But when she turned her head, she saw Wei Shu guarding the female pilgrim beside her, and she swept out without looking back.
Qi Mingle is the daughter of the General's Mansion, and originally with her skills, she could escape before the collapse of the main hall.
But when she looked back and saw that scene, she was stunned for two snaps of her fingers, so she missed the opportunity to escape.
When Qi Mingle woke up again, it was dark and quiet around her, she was protected by something, and although she was not injured, she couldn't move.
Qi Mingle liked Wei Shu, because Wei Shu liked elegant girls, so she took the knife and learned to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and cook tea. Slowly, Wei Shu became a lot closer to her, and even agreed to accompany her to the Buddhist temple to offer incense.
On this day, Qi Mingle wore the most beautiful dress, asked someone to put on makeup for her, and came to see Wei Shu with joy.
But when the ground moved, she was left behind.
Although Qi Mingle was sad, he did not lose his belief in survival. After waking up in the rubble, she has been trying to save herself. But it was pitch black here, she couldn't see anything, her body was confined and she couldn't move, and no one answered her loud cries for help.
The cold and dead silence enveloped her.
Now she is hungry and cold, her body is hot and cold, and her breathing is becoming more and more difficult.
Qi Mingle knew that she was about to die.
Before his consciousness completely dissipated, Qi Mingle saw Oak Tang Pass.
The Litangguan mountain range is continuous, a thousand miles away, and it is the place where Qi Mingle grew up. There, on a spring day, wildflowers and trees rise wildly. She was dressed in red, beating horses and galloping freely on the mountain road, and the wind was full of the fragrance of oak flowers.
And at the end of the mountain road, stood her father and brother.
"Zhengβ"
The strong wind blew, the iron horse under the corridor clanged, and Qi Mingle woke up in a hot flash.
"Miss, you're awake! Do you feel better today? When the maid Yinsui put down the medicine bowl and hung the veil on the golden hook, Qi Mingle's sick face was revealed.
After the ground movement in Beijing, Qi Changhong never sleeped, and personally led people to find him for three days before rescuing Qi Mingle from the ruins.
At that time, Qi Ming's Lego fever did not subside, and it was useless to invite many doctors. In the end, it was Ye Yuanju from Tai Hospital who came in person, and after Qi Mingle was injected with needles and bloodletting, Qi Mingle's high fever subsided.
The people who were smart and bright before, after being sick this time, most of their energy and energy were gone.
"Well, it's much better." Qi Mingle hugged Qingsi, got up and said, "I want to bathe." β
It is now the seventh month of the fire, but Qi Mingle's cold has not healed, ice is not allowed in the house, Qi Mingle has to bathe several times every day, and the kitchen has been prepared with hot water.
After bathing, after changing into a dry dress, Qi Mingle felt better. She wore her slightly damp hair and opened the long box on her knees.
The box contained a double-edged knife, more than three feet wide, and the blade was cold and cold.
When Yin Sui came in, he saw Qi Mingle wiping the knife, and he was stunned.
In the past, when he was in Litang Pass, this knife Qi Mingle never left his body. But after returning to Beijing, because Wei Shu likes elegant girls, Qi Mingle put it away. Why did you suddenly take it out again today?
Yin Sui suppressed the doubts in his heart and came in and said, "Miss, Wei Gongzi is here." β
Since Qi Mingle was rescued back to the mansion, Wei Shu has come to the General's Mansion several times, but Qi Mingle has never seen him. And today, Qi Mingle wants to make a decision.
After the site was shaken, it rained heavily in Beijing for several days, and it was only today that it completely cleared.
In the front yard of the Qi family, Qi Mingzhao and Wei Shu stood opposite each other, but the atmosphere was not good. Qi Mingzhao and Wei Shu were originally close friends, but today, Qi Ming's eyes were full of coldness when he looked at Wei Shu: "What happened on the day the earth moved?" β
Since Qi Mingle returned home from an injury, every time Wei Shu came to visit Qi Mingle, Qi Mingzhao had to ask this question again.
"Brother Qi, what are you suspecting?" Wei Shu did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Mingle's skills are above you, why was you safe and sound on the day of the earth's movement, and she was crushed under the ruins?"
This is something that Qi Mingzhao has always been unable to figure out. He also asked Qi Mingle, but Qi Mingle avoided answering. But after the scene moved, Qi Mingle's attitude towards Wei Shu changed, but Qi Mingzhao saw it clearly.
In the past, the people who chased after Wei Shu came to the door several times, but they have been avoiding. And Wei Shu also ignored this matter.
"The situation was chaotic at the time, and I don't know why, Mingle didn't escape." Wei Shu explained apologetically.
As soon as Qi Mingzhao heard this, his anger instantly came up: "My sister went to the Buddhist temple with you, but now you tell me that the situation was chaotic at that time, and you don't know why, she didn't escape?" β
"I ......" Wei Shu was about to speak, when the voice of the maid asking Qi Mingle for peace came from outside.
When Wei Shu heard this, he turned around and saw Qi Mingle coming from the other side of the corridor.
At this time, the sky was in full bloom, Qi Mingle's ink hair was flying, his eyes were covered with light veil, and his red clothes came fiercely. The blooming flowers on the corridor were instantly eclipsed the moment she appeared.
Such Qi Mingle is unfamiliar to Wei Shu. But for Qi Mingzhao, this is his brilliant and wanton sister. Some time ago, Qi Mingle was learning to play the piano and music, and he was learning to mix incense and cook tea, how did he feel awkward.
Seeing Qi Mingle's eyes covered with light veils, Wei Shu's expression suddenly changed: "Mingle, your eyes ......"
"I've been in the dark for a long time, and I can't adapt to the bright light for the time being, so it's okay."
Hearing Qi Mingle say this, Wei Shu was a little relieved, and then he apologized to Qi Mingle: "Mingle, I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you that day." β
Through the light veil covering his eyes, Qi Mingle saw the guilt and self-blame on Wei Shu's face.
But what came to her mind was the scene before the collapse of the hall that day, when Wei Shu protected the female pilgrim and rushed out without looking back.
Qi Mingle lowered his eyelashes, tilted his head and asked Qi Mingzhao: "Can I say a few words to Wei Shu alone?" β
That's what I don't want him to hear! Qi Mingzhao left with a cold face.
The maids also went down, and when there were only two of them left in the courtyard, Qi Mingle asked, "Is that the person you admire?" β
Wei Shu Huo Ran raised his eyes and looked at Qi Mingle in surprise: How could she know?
As soon as he saw Wei Shu's expression, Qi Mingle knew that he had guessed correctly. She was half bitter, half relieved: "People's knee-jerk reactions can't be hidden. β
Qi Changhong and Wei's father were officials in the same dynasty, and Qi Mingzhao and Wei Shu were friends, and they also knew each other. These three relationships are superimposed, and when encountering danger, Wei Shu should be the first to take care of her.
But that day, Wei Shu was so focused on the female pilgrim that he never gave her a look from beginning to end.
Qi Mingle loves Wei Shu, and she knows everything about Wei Shu well. Among them, Wei Shu once had a white moonlight, but God made people, and his white moonlight was married to a wife.
"Mingle, can you keep this matter a secret for me?" Wei Shu looked at Qi Mingle and asked in a low voice. His sweetheart was already married, and he was afraid that if the matter got out, it would damage her reputation.
Wei Shu was born in a family of eunuchs, and he was gentle and gentle to everyone. But it wasn't until today that Qi Mingle discovered that his gentleness towards his sweetheart was different. Why didn't she see it before?
"Mingle?"
"yes, okay." Qi Mingle agreed.
"Mingle, thank you." Wei Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and then set his eyes on Qi Mingle, "Is your body better?" When I came to see you a few days ago, Brother Qi always said that you were recuperating in bed. β
"It's no big deal."
"That's good. Fortunately, you're fine, otherwise I wouldn't know what kind of face I should have to meet General Qi and Brother Qi. When he said this, Wei Shu felt strange again, "But Mingle, your skills are so good, why didn't you escape that day?" β
This is also what Wei Shu has always been unable to understand.
Qi Mingle lowered his eyes and covered the thoughts under his eyes: "I was worshipping the Buddha at the time, and I took a step slower when I got up. β
Wei Shu suddenly apologized again. If he could have been distracted to look at Qi Mingle at that time, maybe Qi Mingle would not have been trapped under the rubble, "Mingle is sorry, I ......"
Qi Mingle interrupted Wei Shu's words, looked at the dense and blooming Ling Xiaohua, and smiled with relief: "It's all over, I've already let it go." β
Today's Qi Mingle is different from the past. But if you want Wei Shu to be specific, how to do it differently, Wei Shu can't say it.
All along, it was Qi Mingle who chased him.
He knew very little about this bold and enthusiastic girl, except that she was lively, bright and smiling, and every time he saw himself, his eyes were full of frank and hot admiration.
There are many girls in Beijing who love Wei Shu, but Qi Mingle is the only one who shows him this admiration.
Somehow, Wei Shu suddenly wanted to be nice to her.
"I'm going to Qingzhou in a few days, what do you want, I'll take it for you." It's an apology for her.
This was the first time that Wei Shu offered to ask Qi Mingle what he wanted, but Qi Mingle refused: "No need, I don't lack anything." β
Wei Shu didn't force it anymore, since Qi Mingle refused to say it, then he would pick it for her at that time, and he should give her a surprise.
Qi Mingle wanted to verify the matter, and she had already got the answer, and then she went back to her yard first on the grounds that she was unwell. But she didn't want to, not long after she went back, Qi Mingzhao came.
"Figured it out?" Qi Mingzhao, who was dressed in a black suit, came in, and the first thing he asked was this.
They are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and for Qi Mingle, Qi Mingzhao does not say that he knows ten points, but at least he can understand six points. When Qi Mingle came over today, Qi Mingzhao found that Qi Mingle had changed.
"Well, figured it out." Qi Mingle sat on the couch by the window, his expression calm and relieved, "In the past, I always felt that feelings were like learning martial arts. As long as I am willing to work hard, I can always achieve what I want. β
But after this incident, I found out that it was not. If you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, it's useless no matter how hard I try. And her efforts are completely vulnerable in front of Wei Shu's sweetheart.
Even if the other party was already married to a wife, Qi Mingle was relieved.
Her tone was soft but firm: "And I like him, I can do a lot for him, but I won't give up my life because I like him." β
After Wei Shu protected his sweetheart and rushed out of the hall without looking back, Qi Mingle saw clearly her position in Wei Shu's heart.
So she was relieved, and her liking for Wei Shu ended there.
"It's good that you've figured it out." Although Qi Mingzhao and Wei Shu are close friends, Qi Mingle is his own sister, and Qi Mingzhao is naturally on his sister's side, "There are so many men in Beijing, why hang on his tree." Another day, my father and I will find something better for you. β
The two of them usually quarrel a lot, but now when they hear Qi Mingzhao say this, Qi Mingle is still very moved. So she used the same words to care about Qi Mingzhao: "Brother, there are so many women in Beijing, do you want to change the tree to hang?" β
Jiang Xige's person was too cold, and Qi Mingle felt that her brother, who was stunned, might not be able to warm up the heat. It's better to let go as soon as possible, so as not to fall deeper and deeper.
Qi Mingzhao didn't appreciate it, he stood up suddenly, dropped a sentence with a cold face, "Take care of yourself", and left without looking back.
"Humph! I don't know what to do! You just wait to cry later, you! Qi Mingle lay on his stomach by the open window, puffing up and waving his fist at Qi Mingzhao's back.
Qi Ming didn't hear it, and strode away directly.
Emotional things, such as people drinking water and knowing their own warmth.
That's all she said, and the next thing is Qi Mingzhao's business.
The flowers under the corridor are fragrant, the copper bells at the eaves are bursting, and Qi Mingle, who is sitting against the window, suddenly feels relaxed.
In the past, she chased Wei Shu, liking what he liked and hated what he hated. From now on, she Qi Mingle will be herself, how happy and how to live!
