Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Peony Blossom (I)
The next day, when Mo Shaoying woke up in a daze, she found that the room was deserted for a while, and time seemed to be stuck in yesterday. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He was startled and didn't know how long he had slept since Peony left, and he wanted to get up and call, but unexpectedly there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the compartment.
Mo Shaoying dragged her still somewhat weak steps to the cubicle, went in to take a look, and then caught a glimpse of the little junior sister who fell to the ground, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps forward to carry her back to the bed.
This Mo Wanxi has been loved by her parents and cherished by her brothers since she was born, she always thought that her relatives would be by her side all the time, but through the matter of the Fang family, she suddenly felt that everything was really absolute. Daddy will also be injured and will not wake up, and the mother will be grief-stricken.
And the senior brother also has his helplessness, this is like having to marry Fang Shaoqi as sad and helpless, she was already desperate, but who would have thought that at this time, the second senior brother Mo Shaoying would suddenly appear like a god and take her away.
Mo Shaoying's approach looks a little selfish and a little disregardful of the overall situation, but when she asked herself, Mo Wanxi was really glad to have such a second senior brother who didn't care about it. It was this that saw him, and immediately threw herself into his arms and cried with joy.
Mo Shaoying stroked her junior sister's silky hair, and comforted softly: "It's all over." ”
After a while, when Mo Wanxi raised her head slightly, she found that her senior brother was looking at her intently, her heart trembled for no reason, and her face was immediately crimson when she cried, and she snorted: "I originally wanted to drink saliva, but my body was hot and cold and I couldn't use my strength, so I just... Fell. ”
When Mo Shaoying heard this, he immediately became suspicious, it stands to reason that his whole body should be weak and hot, how could he still be cold? He wanted to ask, but in order not to make Mo Wanxi frightened again, he temporarily suppressed his mind to ask, and said softly: "It's okay, it's just that the medicinal power under the waste hasn't dissipated yet, drink water, right?"
Mo Wanxi lowered her head and said weakly: "Well......"
After Mo Wanxi drank a large bowl of water, her chapped lips cracked again because she drank too quickly, seeing her like this, Mo Shaoying was a little distressed and said, "How long have you been thirsty, why don't you wake up Senior Brother." By the way, have you seen the peony? This is the woman who has been taking care of us in this house. ”
Mo Wanxi nodded, sat upright and said: "I was about to tell you, I woke up and heard Sister Peony say that you were seriously injured, so I asked me not to wake you up, but when I woke up last night, I didn't see Sister Peony by my side, she had been taking care of me before, I wanted to wait for her to endure it, but I didn't see her come back after waiting for a night......"
Mo Shaoying couldn't listen to it at all when he heard it halfway, and he suddenly realized that he had made a serious mistake, and he shouldn't have let Peony go out alone at all. But why didn't I think of it at the time?
This made him regret it, and he wanted to slap his two ear scrapers hard.
And the peony went out yesterday afternoon and didn't return this morning, and there must have been a big fork in the past ten hours!
Seeing Mo Shaoying's gloomy and anxious face, Mo Wanxi's heart trembled and she just wanted to call softly, but she was suddenly supported by the second senior brother and said, "Senior brother has to go out to look for it, and when I come back, I am not allowed to go anywhere." ”
Mo Shaoying came to the door but turned around and took off the jade pendant around her neck and put it in the palm of Mo Wanxi's hand, and said solemnly: "Senior sister just said that she feels hot and cold? This piece of "yang jade" can drive away all evil spirits according to Mr. Qi, and now that my old injuries have healed, I don't need to do it, maybe it will be better if you take it and wear it on your body." ”
He naturally thought that the anger in Fang Fuzhong's body was uncontrollable at night, causing Wanxi in his arms to be invisibly invaded by that anger, and when she held "Yangyu" in her hand, her expression was really much more relaxed. It's just that he deliberately ignored that when "Yang Yu" left his palm, a chill instantly swept through his body, although it was normal in an instant, but it still made him cold and shivered.
When Mo Shaoying walked to the street with Liuyuan in his hand, compared with the festivities of the previous days, although the alleys of this official street were vaguely normal, the wanted notices all over the walls and the guards patrolling the city everywhere were telling the people that this Jiangling was already full of wind and rain, and the undercurrent was surging.
Mo Shaoying looked at the wanted notice with his portrait painted on it and smiled coldly, and casually borrowed a hat to cover his face, and looked around at the moment.
But for the whole morning, Mo Shaoying got nothing, and Peony still had no news, and he had no money to borrow two more buns and go back to share them with his sister.
When he went out again in the afternoon, he found that the patrolling guards on the street were putting up new notices, and the people around them rushed in one direction as soon as they saw them. Mo Shaoying followed and took a closer look, his face turned pale in an instant, and seeing that the people around him did not notice his strange appearance, he hurriedly blended into the crowd of people who were running to tell each other and walked towards Xicheng.
A bluestone floor tile vacant in Xicheng is a place of execution in the past. It's just that in the past few years, the wind and rain in Gangneung Mansion have been smooth, and the people are safe and happy, so there are few thieves, so this law field has not been used a few times. And today, when thousands of ordinary people come here to stop and watch, it means that the Dharma field has been reused, and the person who beheaded is a woman with a cloud bun and eyebrows.
......
"Look, what a girl like a flower, how did she become a fellow robber?"
"You don't know this, she is the peony of Linglong Pavilion, the top dancer in the pavilion, she wants to be her guest in the curtain, hehe, in addition to being young and golden, she also needs some talent!"
"Well, it doesn't look like you're going to be able to. ”
"I'm naturally not good when I'm old, but look at you are not worthy of carrying shoes for her like this! Alas, according to the notice, she hid bandits privately, and after being caught, not only did she confess leniently, but she also bit the finger of the second son of the Fang family, so Lord Fang was angry and wanted to behead this beautiful girl. ”
"Oh? Anyway, did the young lady of the Fang family find it? It is said that what is the robber, what is the same junior disciple of the Yun Trace Sect Mo Fangwen, or the head of the guard of the Fang Mansion? It is really difficult to prevent thieves day and night. ”
"Shhh ”
"Then no one knows that this Linglong Pavilion top card is not very nourishing, why did he go all the way with the shameless chief of the guard? ”
"You don't understand this, since ancient times, there has been a lot of love and hatred, judging from the old brother's many years of romance, the most unreasonable thing in the world is to move the true feelings, this dancing girl is eighty percent of the people who have fallen in love with others, it's a pity!
......
Although the people around him were talking about it, their arguments were nothing more than pity for the peony on the stage and hatred for himself, the culprit! It is not difficult to see that the people's hearts are unanimous that if he is affectionate, why doesn't he stand up and confess his guilt, and he wants a woman to suffer?
Is Mo Shaoying ruthless?
Mo Shaoying couldn't answer this question? He wanted to rush to the stage desperately at this moment, but judging from the slightest trace of blood from his fingernails digging into his flesh, he was trying his best to endure this thought.
He knew that in the face of a field full of guns and crossbows, if he dragged his injured body and forced forward, not only would he not be able to save Peony, but he would not even be able to please himself. He is not afraid of death, but he can't leave the little junior sister alone in Jiangling Mansion, he is even more afraid that if he dies, everything he has done before will be wasted, and the little junior sister will fall into the tiger's mouth again!
But what is this, is it ruthless?
Mo Shaoying questioned herself over and over again, looking at the peony on the stage in confusion.
Compared with Fang Shaoqi, who was dressed in a fancy dress next to the prison officer, Peony's cloth skirt and Jing Hai are now full of wounds and blood, and they have obviously been tortured and questioned. But her expression at this time was cold, with a sense of disdain and indifference.
Mo Shaoying couldn't understand her calm look, just like what was said around him, it was hard for him to imagine that Peony would defend himself so much.
And he could only watch like this, yes, powerlessly, watching Peony get hurt, and even watch Peony die! This feeling made him uncomfortable like ten thousand ants devouring his body, and he couldn't wait to think that the person kneeling under the sword and axe hand was himself, or simply rushed to the stage!
This thought roared and wandered back and forth in his mind all the time, so he didn't even notice his footsteps subconsciously slowly squeezing into the crowd, moving forward step by step. What he didn't expect was that the peony on the stage actually saw him at a glance from the crowd and identified him at a glance!
Peony laughed, looking very happy, because the man still came, but she didn't want the man to be stupid, so she was still laughing, and laughing high. This pleasant laughter really attracted the attention of Fang Shaoqi behind him, and he stepped forward with a hateful face, raised his hand and slapped it, leaving a five-finger mark on the jade cheek of the peony in an instant.
"Tell me, what's your last word? This is my father's last kindness to you, but according to my son, you don't have any relatives like a bitch. ”
At this time, Fang Shaoqi vented all his resentment towards Mo Shaoying on Peony. Peony glanced at Mo Shaoying, who was full of hideous faces in the field, and swallowed all the blood in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "Who said that the concubine has no close relatives? Isn't Peony's closest relatives you, but Peony has never seen each other again, so how about asking Childe to allow Peony to sing a song and express his heart?"
Fang Shaoqi said happily: "You are worthy of being a bitch, you are still conscientious when you die, if you don't like that little white face, maybe this son will see the sake of serving in the past, let you go, hum! ”
Peony nodded, knelt on his knees, and said, "... Swing the sword to slash at the feelings, drink to warm my sorrowful voice, the green tent with the empty bed, the tears pity me for sorrow, this love can be a desperate sound, heaven and earth are on one side! If you are in a panic, you will add two pairs of souls in vain......"
Although most of the people in the audience don't know what it means, but the sad and stubborn singing voice is sad for the listeners, and Mo Shaoying in the audience is no exception, but what makes him even sadder is that she knows that the lyrics are to let herself not come forward to rescue! So he listened and watched until the executioner's hand fell with a knife, until Peony was killed!
Is it just a compromise, is it going to end like this?
No way!
Suddenly, Mo Shaoying, desperate, flew up to the stage and shouted: "Slow!!"
Slowly, so the scenery suddenly slowed down, everyone's movements seemed to freeze for a moment, no one spoke, and the field was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.
