Chapter 22: Lingxiao's smile

Lingxiao walked out of the Yanyu Building, without hijab, and half of the city came to watch this lively wedding. When people saw her beautiful face, they froze there for a while, and some people on the street were surprised by the beautiful gasping sound, and there were eyes that looked at her distraction, and at that moment time seemed to stand still, and the beauty of Lingxiao was simply suffocating. She walked up to the sedan chair, paused, turned her head, and looked around at the stunned people who were watching her, leaning over, and a smile curled up at the corners of her mouth.

There were no familiar people in that crowd, no Li Maolian.

She walked on the sedan chair, the greeting team set off firecrackers, a festive scene, and the mighty team began to walk and leave the Yanyu Building.

Xia Sheng chased after him, crying and shouting, "Miss, Miss." "Her young lady has suffered too many grievances and is married today, and the two will be separated from each other from then on.

Lingxiao sat in the sedan chair, waiting calmly, waiting for something, of course she knew herself.

When passing by the stone bridge, Lingxiao lifted the sedan curtain and looked at the stone bridge, which was the place where she and Maolian made an appointment to escape from here, as if she saw Luo Lingxiao two days ago on this stone bridge, dressed plainly, sitting in the center, poking her head out and looking at the direction where Maolian came, and did not relax for a moment.

Lingxiao smiled bitterly, the woman who had been waiting for her was dead, and when she knew the truth that day, she was already dead.

First the horse team, then the band, and finally the sedan chair went up the stone bridge, when the sedan chair came to the center, Lingxiao lifted the curtain in front of the sedan chair, jumped down, and crossed the stone bridge and stone railing straight into the water.

The team was shocked, the sound of the band overshadowed the sound of her falling into the water, everyone stood on the stone bridge and looked at the river at a loss, the startled thousand layers of ripples gradually returned to calm, and the woman in red never came up again.

"Miss-" Xia Sheng, who had been chasing behind, ran over, lying on the stone fence and crying, "Miss-" Lingxiao really chose to commit suicide, such a strong woman, God gave her this kind of temper, how could she succumb to the powerful and marry someone she didn't want to marry after suffering all the blows of the Li family and Maolian's betrayal, that extreme last beauty is just the last scene that Lingxiao wants to leave to the world.

The beautiful and fierce Luo Lingxiao, for this world, has come, lived, and that's it.

"Missβ€”" Xia Sheng shouted and cried out, and the river under the bridge became turbulent, drowning Lingxiao and taking her with him.

Remembering this, Xia Sheng covered his face with his hands and cried loudly, his shoulders shaking because of excitement.

Xiu Yuan comfortingly held her thin shoulders and called her name, "Xia Sheng." ”

Xia Sheng raised his head and faced Shang Xiuyuan's face, his temperament as warm as jade, and his handsome face as the moon were so consistent with Maolian twenty years ago.

In a trance, Xia Sheng actually saw him as Mao Lian, "Murderer, you are the murderer, you killed Miss!" As soon as she pushed Xiu Yuan away, she was about to go to the ground, and Xiu Yuan was pushed hard by her and fell to the ground.

Xia Sheng staggered to the ground, unswervingly hurriedly helped Xiu Yuan, the phoenix cloak slowly floated down with Xia Sheng's movements, and the moment it landed, a huge thunder sounded, and the downpour rained down in response to the thunder.

Xia Sheng pushed open the door and knelt on the ground, looking up at the gray sky, the pouring rain drenched her, "Miss!" Xia Sheng raised his head and roared, "Are you back, take me away, I miss you so much!"

Xiu Yuan and Unswerving hurriedly dragged the thin Xia Sheng in, for fear that none of the big thunder would really hit her.

"Xiasheng, Xiasheng," unswerving pulled Xiasheng, "you calm down." ”

"Xia Sheng," Xiu Yuan pulled Xia Sheng, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you for the mistakes our family made twenty years ago," he knelt in front of Xia Sheng all of a sudden, "But you have to live, and your young lady wants you to live." ”

Xiu Yuan knelt down, she was stunned, Xia Sheng also calmed down, she choked up and said, "Miss's death angered Lord Guan, he said that even if he died, he had to find the body, so he sent people to look for it downstream by the river day and night, until a few days later he found Miss's body that had been changed beyond recognition." ”

When Lingxiao's body was found, everyone was surprised, her hands had been eaten by the fish, revealing white bones, and her body was swollen, but a pair of eyes on her face were deadly open, as if telling her unwillingness to die.

Xia Sheng pushed everyone away, crying and lying on Lingxiao's body, protecting Lingxiao's body to death, anyone who stepped forward was pushed away by her, so Master Guan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, ordered people to drag her away in disgust, and broke one of her legs.

Xia Sheng fainted in pain, and when she woke up, she saw Lingxiao's body tied up with stones and thrown into the river by Guan Daren again, he said, don't you want to die, aren't you fierce, you love this cold river, then you lie in this river forever.

Xia Sheng cried and shouted, but she dragged her body on the shore with a broken leg and couldn't crawl, she begged desperately, begging them to let the dead go, but no one paid attention to her, Xia Sheng didn't have time to stop it, just watched Lingxiao's red clothes fall into the water again and sink to the bottom.

The river gradually calmed down, Xia Sheng crawled to the shore, wanted to jump down, Lingxiao died and she had no intention of living again, she desperately slid her arms in the water, hitting the river with her hands, there was her miss in the cold river water, she shouted Miss, the river stirred up layers of splashes and wet her face and her hair, Xia Sheng cried again and fainted.

The painful memories made Xia Sheng uncover the deepest scar in her heart, and in the end, she finally returned to calm and no longer had the strength to make noise. Lingxiao is a forbidden place in her heart that cannot be touched, and every memory is like stabbing the knife in her heart deeper, and she can only let it bleed.

Xiu Yuan looked at her heavily, and there were tears in his unswerving eyes.

"Now you understand? What happened twenty years ago. I originally wanted to go with Miss, but just when I woke up and wanted to throw myself into the river, a person rescued me, it was the son of your housekeeper Li, he sent me back to Yanyu Building, and helped me set up a mound for Miss, and he said that this is all he could do. After that, I continued to work in Yanyulou, and the bustard also saw that I was pitiful and broke a leg, and accepted me. ”

"Steward Li. Xiu Yuan glanced at Xiu Yuan, and she took Xiu Yuan's eyes, she knew what Xiu Yuan thought.

"Xiasheng, you are here, so let's rest. Xiu Yuan poured her a cup of hot water, "Are you hungry, I'll go get you something to eat." ”

Xia Sheng shook his head, "I won't stay here, not for a moment, I won't have anything to do with your Li family, I want to go back to Yanyu Building and send me back." Xia Sheng's word by word, there is no doubt.

Unswerving looked at Xiu Yuan, "Let's respect her meaning." ”

After that, unswervingly sent Xia Sheng back to Yanyu Building, the old bustard looked at Xia Sheng, who had been missing for nearly a day, and scolded, "Where did you die? ”

Listening harshly, he just wanted to step forward to teach the arrogant bustard some lessons, Xiu Yuan pulled her, walked over by himself, and handed the bustard a few ingots of silver, "You take this money, please be better to Xia Sheng, she is not in good health so that she can eat better, and please find someone else to help her share the heavy work." ”

The old bustard took the silver in a panic, nodded in a panic, and looked at Xia Sheng strangely by the way, what kind of noble person did you meet?

Xia Sheng didn't look at the two of them, and continued to work calmly and limping, this is her life, once she wakes up from the memories, she will continue, Xiu Yuan looked at her thin back, and her heart was sour.

"Let's go. Unswerving called for cultivation, he turned his head and left here with Unswerving.

"Do you want to go to Steward Li next?" Bu Shi tilted his head to look at him.

Xiu Yuan nodded, remembering what Xia Sheng said, "It's almost Lingxiao's sacrifice day, it's been twenty years, I think she won't stop if she doesn't come back this time." ”

"You said her purpose?" said Bu Chang stretched his voice and waited for Xiu Yuan to answer.

"I think she must be trying to find my uncle. Xiu Yuan walked forward, and followed immediately, and the shadows of the two people were stretched long in the sunset, reflecting in the quiet street.

As soon as Steward Li turned around, he saw Xiu Yuan facing him, "Young Master Xiu Yuan, you scared me." ”

Xiu Yuan still smiled gently, "Steward Li, are you busy?"

"It's okay," Steward Li stroked his beard and sat down, "What's the matter?"

Xiu Yuan calmed down for a while, "I saw Xia Sheng, who was the maid next to Lingxiao. ”

Steward Li was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xiu Yuan to pop up like this, "Why did you talk about this?"

"I know that you saved Xia Sheng, and you also think that the two of them are pitiful, I know everything. ”

Steward Li was completely stunned, "You still went to Yanyu Building, I thought about it." ”

Xiu Yuan nodded, "Where is my uncle?" A gust of wind blew in, blowing open the bracket of the window, the window was blown whirring, both of them looked around, and Steward Li's eyes became a little panicked.

"What's wrong with you?" Xiu Yuan asked.

"She's back. Steward Li's eyes were a little frightened, "Sure enough, the abbot said that he could only bless this place for twenty years, and the time limit is almost up, and it is about to arrive." ”

"What did you say?" Xiu Yuan helped Steward Li.

Steward Li sat on the chair, "Since Lingxiao committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake, this town has not stopped, first Lord Guan suddenly died violently, and then his family's family also died one after another, and the death was terrifying, and then the Li family, your grandfather was infected with the wind and cold and couldn't afford to be sick, fortunately, our family and Guoqing Temple have a very good relationship, the presiding abbot came to the house, saw the clues, went to the stone bridge to do things, for the deceased, and buried a Buddha statue under the bridge, which calmed Lingxiao's anger, but the abbot said that he could only bless this place for twenty years, and sure enoughβ€”β€”" Speaking of which, another gust of wind blew in, and the long hair that blew was fluttering.

Xiu Yuan looked out the window, "She did come back, she wants to find my uncle, she won't be willing if she doesn't find her, if you know where my uncle is, you must tell me." ”

Steward Li shook his head, "I really don't know where your uncle went. After this incident, your uncle broke up with the family, he locked himself in the room and didn't see anyone, I handed him the last things of Lingxiao, he was very calm after seeing those things, I still can't forget his eyes, he let out a long breath, those eyes were so deep that I couldn't see anything, he said it's late, it's late, it's late, it's late, it's too late, and he keeps repeating it, and then he asked me to keep these things, I didn't take anything, I rode away, and I haven't come back since, so I really don't know where he went. ”

After Steward Li said these words, he looked at Xiu Yuan with relief, and Xiu Yuan also looked at Steward Li, he was the most clear person in the family at that time who pointed to good and evil.

"Thank you, Steward Li, then I'll go back first. Xiu Yuan exited Steward Li's room, returned to his room, and sat there waiting for her, "How is it?

Xiu Yuan shook his head, "He doesn't know where my uncle is?"

The two men fell silent.
