Chapter 67: Bitterness and Happiness Come to Meet
Xue Ning, who was helpless, accepted the queen's punishment under the scorching sun like this. I don't know how long she knelt down, but when she knelt so hard that her knees hurt, she was dizzy, and when she was about to stagger, she suddenly heard a noisy sound from the side of the dormitory in the distance.
Xue Ning raised her head, calmed down, carefully captured the distant sounds and movements, and soon, she excitedly heard the familiar talking and walking voices of the third elder brother in the voice, the third elder brother seemed to be walking towards the garden with someone, and the person accompanying him seemed to be more than one.
Xue Ning, as a spirit fox, has a keen hearing, and soon she recognized that there was Zimo among the people who came, and her sad face immediately smiled, she wanted to stand up immediately, go to meet it, and take a look, but soon realized that this was the palace compound, and she couldn't act rashly, so she had to suppress the curiosity and excitement in her heart, knelt on the ground, and waited quietly.
Gradually, the people came closer, and she was surprised to discern that among the people who came, there was the walking voice of a person she knew no longer and could no longer be familiar.
In the dazzling light, Xue Ning rubbed her eyes desperately, looked carefully in the direction of the person who came, and finally realized that among the people who came, there was a relative who had been thinking about herself for many days, the eighth sister.
At this time and now, seeing my sister who had been missing for many days, all kinds of emotions such as grievances, sadness, surprises, and surprises all rushed to her at once, making Xue Ning, who was still a child, unable to bear it all of a sudden, and she became painful.
Immediately after, there was a desperate urge to encourage her to stand up and run towards the eighth sister.
But because she had been kneeling for a long time, when she got up, she stumbled and almost fell, and at this moment, the eighth sister couldn't wait to step forward like a gust of wind, hugged Sister Xue Ning, and held her tightly in her arms.
"Sister, I've made you suffer!" said the eighth sister choked her voice and stroked Xue Ning's hair.
"Eighth sister, what about Daddy and the other sisters? Why do you only see you alone? Could it be that there are too many of them, and there are many rules in the palace, so they are not allowed to come in, right?" Xue Ning was in the warm embrace of the eighth sister, and what was surging in her heart was the ecstasy and excitement of the sudden meeting of the separated relatives, but more of it was the confusion and curiosity of not seeing the fox demon father and the other sisters.
"Daddy and sister, they ......" The eighth sister didn't know how to tell the truth to her younger sister, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to withstand the blow, so she cried bitterly, but thinking that from now on, there would be no chance to meet her lost relatives, and it was not a way to keep it hidden, so she mustered up her courage and told her little sister in a trembling voice, "Sister, Daddy and sisters will go to find their mother first, my mother is too lonely over there, and someone will accompany ....."
Before the eighth sister finished speaking, Xue Ning's whole person was as rigid as if she had been struck by lightning, the violent shock and heart-rending pain made her sad and couldn't help herself, at this moment, she learned from her sister that the fox demon father and several other sisters had passed away, and her heart was distressed.
For so many days, she has been looking forward to it in her heart, and at a certain moment, she can be pleasantly surprised to see her lost family, once again snuggled in the arms of the fox demon father, and can play with several sisters. But when she heard the bad news, she knew that all this had become a luxury for her, and those relatives who made her think about it day and night would never see them again in the future.
Xue Ning thought about this, and tears couldn't help but fall like beads with broken threads.
It's just that at a young age, in addition to being sad, she will never forget the great cause of avenging her family, she bit her lip and asked the eighth sister word by word, "Sister, tell me, did my father and sisters all be killed by the wolf demon?"
Hearing the ninth sister's inquiry, the sadness that the eighth sister had been suppressing in her heart was like a flood that burst the embankment that could not be stopped, and at that moment, she couldn't help sobbing.
"Sister, my father and my sisters were all killed by the wolf demon clansmen, and I was the only one who survived. ”
As soon as the eighth sister's voice fell, Xue Ning, who learned the truth, finally couldn't help crying, and the two sisters hugged each other, crying breathlessly, so that the third elder brother and Zimo, who came closely, couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy.
Xue Ning is so pitiful, she must be so sad to lose so many relatives at once. Zimo bit her lip, her eyes were red, she looked at Xue Ning who was in pain and snot, and wanted to persuade her to stop crying, but she felt that any kind of persuasion at the moment was pale and powerless.
The third elder brother said understandingly, "Let the two sisters cry, it will definitely be more sad to hold it in your heart." ”
Zimo had no choice but to nod, and avoided to the side with the third elder brother, silently waiting for the two sisters to calm down after they were sad before talking.
Xue Ning and Eighth Sister cried for a few minutes, and then they stopped crying, probably the two of them also knew that this was the inner courtyard of the palace, and if they continued to cry, they would be known by the masters, but they were afraid that they would be driven out of the palace.
After the crying stopped, the eighth sister took the lead in asking Xue Ning, "Sister, how did you get into the inner garden of the palace, are you safe here?" Seeing that her sister was puzzled, Xue Ning quickly wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and explained how the third elder brother saved her and Zimo, and how to take her into the palace to live and so on.
After explaining, Xue Ning was also full of doubts in her heart, and then interrogated how her father and sister fell into the hands of the wolf demon clan, how did they encounter accidents, and why could the eighth sister survive the disaster?
The eighth sister knew that Sister Xue Ning was close to her, and she was the only one who survived the world, so she couldn't help but be puzzled, so she told Sister Xue Ning about the tragic things she had encountered.
"Sister, that day, we met the wolf demon clan by the river, dad and sisters covered you and Zimo to escape, and then the rest of us did not escape the wolf demon clan's poisonous hands, dad led the wolf demon clan and fled into the depths of the jungle, but later the wolf demon clan was too many, and he rounded up and arrested his father into the cave where the wolf demon clan lived.
And the rest of the sisters, desperately fighting with the wolf demon clan, because of the weak strength, in the end they all unfortunately died, and were sucked by the wolf demon clan and died tragically, and I escaped under the cover of my sisters, and mistakenly thought that I could get rid of the wolf demon clansmen, but I didn't expect that halfway through, I was found by the wolf demon who chased after me.
He may have killed too many people and absorbed too much spirit, so when he caught me, he did not rush to kill me, but imprisoned me in the cave where he lived, interrogating and teasing me in every way.
He bit me, sucked a lot of my blood, made me dizzy, and when I almost passed out, he forced me to drink his blood, and I refused to drink his wolf blood, so the wolf demon threatened me, saying that the fox demon father had been caught by his people, and asked me to obediently listen to his dispatch, otherwise, the fox demon father would die an ugly death.
I didn't want to see any more accidents with my father, so I had no choice but to obey what the wolf demon said, and I drank his wolf blood according to his instructions, and soon recovered my energy.
But when I recovered, he was not in a hurry to take me out of the cave to visit my father in the place where his people lived.
No matter how much I pleaded, it was to no avail, until yesterday when he came back from outside in a rage with a fox tail in his hand, which I recognized at a glance as the tail of the fox demon father.
The wolf demon told me that his people had killed the stubborn old demon fox, because he kept screaming and cursing in the hole, and several times he bit the rope to try to escape, and finally, the wolf demon people were so angry that they vented their anger and killed him.
The wolf demon warned me that if I tried to escape from the cave like my father, there would be only one way out, and that what awaited me was the same fate as my father's sisters. The eighth sister said so much in one breath, and when she mentioned that the wolf demon clan had killed the fox demon father, her tears gushed out again.
"The hateful wolf demon, the ruthless wolf demon clan, in this life and this life, our sisters swear to avenge their families, sister, I can't stay in this palace anymore, I want to go out as soon as possible, go with you to find my father's former friend, find her to learn art, so as to avenge my father and his family. ”
"Sister, you're right, it's just that there is a great opportunity right now to avenge your family, I'm just afraid that the two of us sisters, trekking through mountains and rivers, found a teacher to learn art, and when they come back, these wolf demon clansmen have escaped completely, and there is nowhere to find them." ”
The eighth sister's words reminded Xue Ning, "Sister, what you said is not unreasonable, since the third elder brother's uncle is Dali Siqing, he can lead the troops to rescue you from the vicious wolf demon cave, there must be a way to kill the wolf demon and his people, although the wolf demon is powerful, but there are many people in the official mansion, and there are many soldiers, and they will definitely be able to arrest these man-eating wolf demons." ”
After the two sisters finished crying, they summed it up and decided to let Xue Ning stay in the palace for the time being, waiting for her whereabouts.
Not far away, the third elder brother and Zimo, who saw the two sisters' emotions gradually calming down, slowly approached the two.
The crying and conversation between the two just now can't be hidden from Zimo and the third elder brother, both of them have keen hearing and can understand similar speeches, so even if they are separated by a distance, they can still clearly hear the crying and conversation of the two.
The third elder brother approached and comforted the two sisters, "Xue Ning, and this sister, I don't know what you call it?"
"My name is Ziyan" The eighth sister knew that the third elder brother was noble, so she hurriedly gave a deep salute and replied, "Thank you to the third elder brother for rescuing and taking in Zimo and Sister Xue Ning, your great kindness, Ziyan is unforgettable." ”
Seeing that the eighth sister was so well aware of the righteousness and the outside, the third elder brother hurriedly helped her up, "Sister Ziyan, you can call me Chenhua in the future, you don't have to be so polite to me, I can meet Ling Mei and Zimo, and save them in fire and water, it is also our fate, God let us become friends, this is a great blessing, I want to thank you for coming down from the sky and bringing a lot of fun to my boring life." ”
