Chapter 44: Love is Hard to Cut (8)
Murong Lan didn't know how long she had been sleeping, when she opened her eyes, it was already dawn, she touched her arm, the rope on her body was gone, and if she looked closely, she was not in the cell of the Tuoba tribe, but in a cave, lying on some grass.
Just as she wanted to get up, a man came over, dressed in a black martial robe, covered with light gauze, and whispered to her: "Miss Murong, you haven't rested well recently, you need to take a good rest." β
Then, he pointed to the stone table next to him and said, "There is some food here, you should eat first and then make plans." β
Murong Lan looked at this person, sat up, and asked softly, "Hero, you rescued me from the cell?"
The man nodded and sighed, "You love Tuoba Jie so much and have suffered for him, but he is ruthless and unjust to you. β
Murong Lan lowered her head, did not speak, put one hand to her mouth, bit her finger gently, and slowly sobbed, tears falling one by oneγγγγγγ
Seeing Murong Lan crying sadly, the man threw over a pink handkerchief and said, "Wipe away your tears, tears can't solve the problem, think about what you plan to do in the future!"
Murong Lan picked up the handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her face, after that, she asked, "Hero, who are you, how do you know my relationship with Tuoba Jie, and why did you save me?"
The man let out a long sigh and said, "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you have to plan for your future. β
When Murong Lan spoke to this person again, she had been carefully looking at the handkerchief, and suddenly, she found that the corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with a green and elegant orchid grass.
She looked at the familiar and friendly bluegrass and asked, "Who are you, and how do you have this handkerchief?"
The man smiled indifferently and said, "This is just a handkerchief, which can be bought everywhere, what's the fuss." β
Murong Lan stood up, took the handkerchief, looked surprised, and said, "This pink handkerchief, that green orchid grass, is a symbol of my status when I was in the Murong tribe. β
The man smiled again and said, "I know that you are Murong Lan and specially bought this handkerchief, it's just a coincidence." β
Murong Lan still looked at the handkerchief carefully, and said: "However, the orchid grass on the handkerchief, just like I embroidered it myself, how can it be so similar, I have been away from the Murong tribe for seven or eight years, and only the Murong tribe will have my token." β
The man never took off his veil, and said to Murong Lan: "So, Miss Murong still thinks about the Murong clan in her heart?"
Murong Lan turned around and came to the stone table, slowly sat down on the stone bench, and said, "The Murong tribe is where I was born and raised, how can I not worry about it?" Her eyes were full of longing, and she muttered to herself: "I don't know how my brother is, are the men, women and children of the tribe okay?"
The man sighed softly and comforted, "Since Miss Murong is so concerned about her brother and clan, why do you want to stay by Tuoba Jie's side? β
Murong Lan got up and looked at the man and said, "Thank you for the hero's grace in saving me, it's just that Murong Lan and Tuoba Jie have a marriage contract, how can you say that you will leave when you leave?"
The man said a little angrily: "Miss Murong takes the matter of the marriage contract to heart, but Tuoba Jie may not be like this, he has been suspicious and distrustful of Miss Murong several times, which is enough to prove that he is ruthless and unrighteous to you." β
Murong Lan was a little sad, and said slowly: "He can be ruthless and unjust, but I can't be ruthless and unjust, seven or eight years ago, if he hadn't rescued me, I would have been snatched away and become the princess of Loulan who insulted the clan, and I don't know if I was alive or dead." β
After listening to Murong Lan's words, the man was silent for a while, and then said: "No matter what, whether it is a blessing or a curse is your creation, if you can't let go of this relationship in your heart, just stay here temporarily, and when you figure it out, it's not too late to decide." β
Murong Lan looked around at the cave, clasped his hands on his shoulders, and asked with some fear, "Where is this?"
The man said lightly: "This is the northern slope of Xianbei Mountain, which is ten miles away from the Tuoba tribe, and it is the place where Tuoba Jie just left the Murong tribe, and it is also the only way to return to the Murong tribe. β
A smile suddenly appeared on Murong Lan's face, and she asked with joy, "Then, how far is it from the Murong clan here?"
The man replied firmly and resolutely: "It's not far, it's more than half a month's journey!"
Murong Lan bowed slightly, thinking of the Murong tribe she grew up in, remembering that when she was a teenager, her brother Murong Detao took her to play in the clan all day long, as long as there were friends bullying her, her brother must be the first to come forward and teach her friends a lesson.
In her memory, her brother has always been very good and very affectionate to her, and after the death of her parents, her brother loved her even more. However, it wasn't until Tuoba Jie appeared that the situation changed completelyγγγγγγ
She doesn't know if her brother has changed, or she has changed, why there is one more Tuoba Jie, the family relationship between her and her brother is unpredictable, and her brother no longer loves her as much as before, let alone the family affection in her heart, it seems that for the benefit of the clan, she can sacrifice everything about her sister, including her life.
The man standing beside Murong Lan was also carefully observing Murong Lan's expression, and when he was sure that Murong Lan had deep feelings for his brother Murong Detao and the clan, he decided to use all the past events of the Murong clan to arouse Murong Lan's inner changes, so that Murong Lan could leave the pioneer and break away.
Murong Lan became more and more respectful to the man beside her, she felt that this person knew the situation of the Murong tribe, and also knew everything about herself, and she was the benefactor who rescued her, so she asked sincerely: "Is the hero from the Murong tribe?"
The man smiled indifferently and replied, "If Miss Murong wants to know where I come from, why don't you go to the Murong clan to investigate in person?"
His words carried a long-lost hope, Murong Lan nodded, and said in agreement: "The hero's suggestion, I can consider it." β
Then, the man continued: "Miss Murong, you need to have a good rest for the time being, and you will tell me when you think about it." With that, he turned and walked out of the cave.
Murong Lan looked in the direction where the man had gone out, and then followed, and when she reached the entrance of the cave, she found that the man had long since disappeared.
The next morning, the man brought some food into the cave, and when he came in, he found that Murong Lan was not there, and immediately shouted: "Miss Murong, Miss Murong γγγγγγ"
But there was no reply from Murong Lan, and when he turned around, he found that there was a line of words next to a pair of talents on the ground: Thank you heroes for saving me, I'm leavingγγγγγγ
Looking at that line of words, the man was very disappointed, the food in his hand slowly fell to the ground, he gently took off the veil, fell to his knees with a plop, put his hands on his knees, and said: "Sister, brother is sorry for you, where have you beenγγγγγγ?
