Chapter 3, again in red
Just as Ruoli was trying to get used to her head, the captain on the Lechuan River came again. Jinzhu said in his heart This is rare, it has been a long time since he has met more than one new soul on the same day.
"Meng Po, you see, there is another person on the bridge, also dressed in red. Jinzhu hurriedly told Meng Po.
"Really, don't say it, this should be a pretty gentleman from afar. Meng Po was hunched over, but there were stars in her eyes.
Ruoli, who had already adapted to it, also turned around and looked at the bridge, waiting to see it clearly, his body shook and he was scared. "That'...... That...... That's the Jade King. ”
Jinzhu and Meng Po were also shocked when they heard this. "There are eighteen branches of the Lechuan River, and there are eighteen captains. There is a bridge above each branch, and there is a Meng Po on each bridge. Whose boat to get on, which river to take, and which Meng Po to meet are all random. I didn't expect you to meet here, there must be unresolved relationships, so that the other party is too obsessed to choose this path. Of course, there is also a possibility that the boy made a deal with the captain and exchanged something for your route. ”
"Mother-in-law, I don't quite understand what you mean. I don't think I have anything to do with the Jade King. "If you can't understand.
"It's okay, when he comes, just ask. Jinzhu said.
The red-clothed jade king also saw Ruoli, rushed over, and hugged Ruoli into his arms. "If you leave, if you leave, you are really here. Ruoli's head hit the Jade King's shoulder, almost knocking off the head that had just been sewn on.
"Alas, alas, you are light, hugging and hugging is no longer a system, and you don't cherish the fruits of other people's labor, which is really hateful. Be careful if your head falls off again after a while, and I won't make up for it. Although Meng Po said this, her eyes flashed with gossip.
Only then did the Jade King remember that before he died, he heard that her head had been cut off directly. Looking at Ruoli carefully, there was indeed a circle of stitches on his neck. It seems that the craftsmanship is very poor, and it is like an ugly centipede. Gently touch the scars with your fingertips, as if it would hurt her. "If you leave, does it hurt?"
"I said, can you take your hand off my arm first, and be careful that my aunt will waste your ten fingers when she recovers. "If you are worthy of being a little pepper, she has a pretty hot temperament.
Meng Po and Jinzhu watched with relish on the side, and the melon seeds were booming.
"Hey, do you think this is an unrequited love drama? Meng Po guessed.
"Well, quite possibly. Isn't that what you write in your picture books? I love you, but you love others, and you dare not tell you, and want to fulfill you. Anyway, what's that?" Jinzhu tapped his head, unable to remember the word.
"Let go for love. Meng Po added with disgust. "So forgetful. ”
"Have you been drinking too much soup lately and starting to forget about it? Jinzhu put down the soup bowl and said.
"I have a dog memory, and I blame this soup. Meng Po was dissatisfied with the blame. "The earth loves to drink my soup, and I haven't forgotten anything. ”
"If only I had a dog's memory, at least I knew what I was. Jinzhu continued to knock on the melon seeds.
"Oh, don't sigh, you'll know sooner or later. And isn't it good to be here with me?Come on, come on, and knock, let's listen to what the Jade King is all about. Meng Po spontaneously filled Jinzhu's small plate with melon seeds.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I just didn't expect to actually meet you here, and I thought the captain lied to me. The Jade King let go of his hand, although he was a little reluctant, but he still listened to Ruoli's words obediently.
"Did you really make a deal with that father-in-law?" Ruoli remembered what Meng Po said before.
Realizing that he had slipped his mouth, the Jade King hurriedly denied it. "No, no. I asked him, and he told me. ”
Ruoli narrowed his eyes and glanced at the Jade King, skeptical of his words. "Tell the truth or don't speak. ”
"I said, I said, it was to let him suck a few mouthfuls of unfinished yang energy. The Jade King replied in a low voice.
"What, you exchanged Yang Qi for it?" Meng Po stood up directly.
"Mother-in-law, is this a serious matter?" Ruoli was a little worried.
"People have just died, and before they crossed the Lechuan River, they still have a little yang energy, which can protect them from being harassed by lonely ghosts and wild ghosts on the Huangquan Road. Did the captain tell you about the consequences of being inhaled with yang energy? Meng Po asked.
"That's it. It is that after being reincarnated as a human, the body is weak and lingering on the sickbed. The Jade King knew that he couldn't deceive Meng Po, so he had to answer truthfully.
"Then you still want to change?" Ruoli really didn't know what was in the Jade King's brain. "Also, why are you looking for me at such a big price?"
"Because...... Because...... Because I have a lot to say to you. When I learned that you were dead, I began to regret it. I regret that I should not have been cowardly, nor should I have given in. I...... I like you. The Jade King stammered in reply, but the sincerity in his eyes could not be ignored.
"What did you say?" Ruoli thought of a thousand reasons, but he didn't think of this.
"I said I liked you, I liked you for years. I've started liking you since I first met you. Later, I knew that you had someone in your heart, so I didn't dare to say it, and I didn't dare to fight for it. Until they say you're dead, under my careful planning, I regret it. If I tried, even if I selfishly locked you up, at least you wouldn't have suffered this. The Jade King was full of affection, and Ruoli, who was close at hand, was full of surprise.
"I said, that Jade King, did you recognize the wrong person!" Ruoli really couldn't help but interrupt the Jade King.
"Sure enough, you don't remember me. "The Jade King is a little lost, Ruoli really doesn't remember. But she has been imprinted on her heart for many years, like a seed, regardless of it, she grows wantonly and savagely, occupying the whole field of her heart.
"I remember, you are the Jade King of Huaguo, is there anything wrong?" Looking at the disappointed expression of the Jade King, Ruoli almost felt that he had already drunk the Forget Worry Soup.
"We met when I wasn't in Kyoto. The Jade King did not give up, trying to find a trace of the shadow of his first encounter in Ruoli's memory.
"Well, I'm sorry, I didn't really think about it. But now I want to know why you died so quickly? You have so many soldiers in your hands, the prince should have no way to take you in a short time. Ruoli thought about it for a while and gave up, only when the Jade King recognized the wrong person.
"Do you still have to guess this? Look at the blood at the corner of his mouth, it was jet black, his face was miserable and white, his eye sockets were sunken, and the dark circles under his eyes were about to catch up with the iron-eating beast, he must have been poisoned. Jinzhu spit out the skin of the melon seeds in his mouth and said.
"And he is neatly dressed, his hair crown is not messed up at all, and he didn't struggle when he died!" Meng Po added what Jinzhu didn't say.
There was a bold conjecture in Ruofu, and this conjecture was quickly confirmed by the Jade King. "I committed suicide by drinking poison. ”
"Why bother? You are obviously capable of fighting against the crown prince, not to mention getting the throne, at least you are safe from your life. Ruoli heard the Jade King say it himself, and he had mixed feelings for a while.
"You're gone, what's the point of me living. ”
"Tut-tut...... Infatuated, I didn't expect you to look like Sven, soft and glutinous, but you are a hard one. You said you weren't even afraid of death, so why didn't you fight for it when you were alive. Jinzhu sighed silently in his heart.
"Why do you have to suffer? When I was alive, I had very little contact with you, and it was worth your life in vain. Ruoli's eyes were red. It is false to say that you are not moved. Unexpectedly, when he thought he was abandoned, there was still a person who was willing to give up his life for himself.
"It's worth it, you deserve the best in the world. ”
Facing the Jade King's black and white eyes, which seemed to have sun, moon and stars, something slowly revived in Ruoli's mind. "I seem to remember. ”
