Chapter 3: Awakening
On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the New Year's Festival is approaching. At night, there are lanterns around the city, and the atmosphere is very festive.
The palace is a seven-entry house. Since the head of the house brought back an unconscious teenager on the night of the snowstorm, the whole house has become a little busier than before.
The old man of the palace repacked a small courtyard in the back and used it as a place for the teenager to recuperate, and recruited a few new maids to take care of them day and night.
On this day, it was nearly noon, and the door was pushed open by a pair of small white hands.
A beautiful girl walked into the room carrying a wooden food box. She first glanced at the boy on the bed, but there was still no sign of waking up. Turning around and pushing open the two windows, the fresh wind was blowing, and the sunlight hit the young man's face through the window, and the silhouette was soft. When the little girl saw this, she was stunned for a while, and thought to herself, "He is just lying down like this, but he is also very good-looking." The cool breeze blew, and she suddenly woke up, her cheeks hot.
After calming down, the little maid took a bowl of white soup boiled with young pigeons and deer antler velvet from the food box, and sat down on the wooden bench beside the bed, stirring it with a spoon while blowing carefully. Like her, with red lips and jade teeth, the wind that blows out must also have a sweet taste.
"Young master, you have to eat more, so that you can get better sooner. The little girl's voice was soft.
The whole bowl of soup was fed, the bowl was put into the food box, and when she got up, she said to the young man who was still unconscious: "Young master, I'll go get some water to wipe your body, and I'll go back." ”
The little girl lifted her skirt and turned around to leave, but her delicate wrist suddenly grabbed her.
The little girl trembled with fright, her eyes were wide open, she opened her mouth, and before she could shout, she heard a weak voice say, "Don't, don't go." ”
The little girl froze and looked at the hand that held her wrist.
"Less...... Are you awake, young master?" exclaimed the little girl.
The young man on the bed frowned slightly, looked at her fixedly, for a long time, and said, "You sit down, I have something to ask you." ”
The little girl nodded slightly, sat back on the wooden stool, folded her little hands on her knees, and kept clasping her nails.
The boy turned his face sideways, looked straight at her, and buried his head in her.
The boy said, "All these days, you have been taking care of me?"
The little girl replied timidly: "No, Sister Huan'er and I take turns to take care of it, and the master and Brother Fugui'er also come over from time to time." ”
The young man was silent for a while, and then said, "Every time you come back, you are the one who talks to me, right? The one who never speaks is Sister Huan'er, right?"
The little maid looked up at the young man, and when she saw that he was looking straight at herself, she hurriedly lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered, "I..... I've heard people say that people who are unconscious wake up faster when they hear someone talking, so ....."
The young man stared at her silently for a moment and asked, "Are you panicking?"
The little maid was silent, her fingers fiddling with the corners of her clothes, looking uneasy, her wheezing voice was thicker, and her cheeks were as shy as fire.
The young man said: "I see panic and nervousness in your heart, as well as a deep joy...... It's a strange feeling. At this, the boy frowned and fell silent.
The little girl rubbed her palms, and at this moment her palms were already dripping with sweat, she swallowed her saliva, and her voice trembled slightly: "Shao...... Master, can you see what I'm thinking?"
The boy didn't answer her, closed his eyes, and there was silence for a while.
"Is that a good feeling?" said the young man, his eyes widening.
The little girl's heart was pounding, her hands were numb, and she panicked: "What?"
The boy looked at her and asked, "Do you like me?"
The little girl heard thunder in her ears, and her whole heart went blank. His mind was debunked, and he was ashamed for a while. She jerked to her feet and stumbled towards the door. In a panic, he tripped over the food box under his feet and fell out. The white and tender palm rubbed a layer of fine skin, and blood beads oozed out. Rao was like this, and he didn't stop for a moment, he hurriedly got up and was about to rush out of the door.
The young man did not expect such an accident, and he couldn't help but worry that the little maid would treat him as a demon after she went out, and he was in a hurry. I wanted to get out of bed to stop her, but I found that it was difficult for my legs to lift half of their strength. In a hurry, he whispered: "Stop." ”
As soon as the words came out, the little maid really stood in place.
The little maid had already grasped the door with both hands, and she only needed to pull it and step out. Unexpectedly, the young man behind him stopped with a low shout, and when he was on the ground, he felt that his whole body suddenly lost control, and his hands and feet could not move at all.
The young man was half-lying on the bed, the situation was urgent, and he was still weak, but he struggled to sit up with a fierce force. He shouted to stop, and that's where it all began.
At this moment, his consciousness was divided into two, he saw the little maid standing in front of the door in a daze, and at the same time saw a pair of white and tender little hands in the little maid's eyes, falling on the two doors.
At the moment, the room was extremely quiet, and the sound of wheezing in two places came and went.
"I can feel that you are panicked and scared. The young man's voice sounded in the heart of the little girl. His tone was very gentle, and as soon as he spoke, the little maid's mood calmed down a lot.
The young man said softly: "Presumably, you can also feel my heart, I will never harm you, don't be afraid." ”
The little maid's voice sounded, and in a choked throat, it was full of bitterness: "I...... I'm not, I'm not afraid of the young master, I'm just ......."
"Shhh No one else pays attention to me, only you come back and want to talk to me, you are a kind and obedient girl, right?"
"Hmm. The little girl seemed to cry, and her voice trembled: "But ...... But, oops, Xiao'e is a shame today. ”
"Your name is Xiao'e, which is a good name. Xiao'e, today's event is only known to you and me, so let it be known only to the two of us forever, okay?"
The young man suddenly felt the shyness that flashed in Xiao'e's heart, and she replied in a low voice, "Yes..... Master. ”
After a while, the young man's anxious voice suddenly sounded in Xiao'e's heart: "Oh no, I'm trapped in your body, and I can't get out." ”
"Huh?" Xiao'e exclaimed in surprise and said hurriedly: "What can I do about this, young master." "But when I think about it, if I can really be trapped here forever, it would not be a good thing for the two to be together day and night.
The young man felt the change in Xiao'e's mood, so he immediately saw through her thoughts, and said helplessly: "Little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao'e was stunned, and immediately screamed, and the shameful hatred in her heart couldn't die immediately.
After she calmed down, the young man said, "Try to see if you can regain control of your body and expel me." ”
Xiao'e tried several times, but it was all in vain, and she couldn't help but cry: "No, young master, even if you want to move your fingers, you can't do it." ”
The half-lying boy closed his eyes, sensing the consciousness that remained in Xiao'e's body, wanting to establish a connection between the two, and then pull it over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this move came out, in the originally silent room, tables, chairs, tea tables, screens and other utensils suddenly shook violently. The teacups shook on the table, and the brushes rattled and turned in the bamboo tubes. The vases placed on the Duobao mackerel fell to the ground one after another, and the sound of cracking porcelain became one.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man secretly shouted in his heart: "Oh no, if there is such a big movement, it will be discovered soon." Stop, stop. ”
But the more anxious he became, the more commotion he made. Bookshelves move back and forth against the walls, rows of books fall, and pages on the floor turn on their own.
On the corridor outside the small courtyard, there were several subordinates hanging lanterns, and they vaguely seemed to hear the sound of porcelain breaking, so they all stopped and listened carefully.
Inside the room, the window sash creaked and closed, the screen fell, the candlestick swayed and fell to the ground, and the scene became more and more uncontrollable.
The young man clenched his fists, tried his best to collect his thoughts, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and he couldn't stop shouting: "Stop." ”
thought that gathering his mind could calm the scene, but unexpectedly, it backfired.
Bang bang, a series of porcelain explosions sounded. The teapots, bowls, and even cups and plates in the food box on the table all exploded in an instant.
"It's the young master's yard, quick, go and have a look. Several people hurriedly put down the lanterns and ran towards the small courtyard.
As soon as the five subordinates moved, the young man immediately sensed it, and his heart was shocked.
"They must not be seen. ”
The house was in shambles, as if it had undergone a ground movement, and if it was seen and spread, the consequences would be unpredictable.
"What should I do?" the boy clenched his fists nervously, his heart pounding.
The five of them had rushed out of the courtyard in the blink of an eye, and they could enter in an instant.
The young man suddenly became agitated, and kept shouting: "Stop, don't come in, stop, stop." "The knuckles of the fingers have been grasped white.
Suddenly, the noise in the room abruptly stopped. The pen holder had been shaken to an inclined position, but it was rigidly fixed in place. Small objects such as brushes, books, and broken porcelain float up and hover over three feet above the ground, making the room seem to be frozen. Immediately, an invisible strange force came out of the window, and the four windows suddenly closed with a bang.
The five subordinates had already rushed to the gate of the courtyard, and the first one, before his raised feet landed in the courtyard, suddenly felt a violent dizziness, his eyes were suddenly scattered, his consciousness was suddenly blurred, and his eyes were closed, and he fell down. The other four people didn't have any reaction, bang, four times in succession, and all fainted.
Inside the room, the tilted pen holder fell on the desk with a clatter, and the suspended brush books also fell one after another.
The young man held his head in his hands, and his eyes showed deep pain. He felt that there seemed to be red-hot copper juice gushing in his skull, and he wanted to explode, so he couldn't stop lowering his voice and roaring, looking like crazy.
Xiao'e's body trembled, and she was suddenly able to move as she pleased. She hurriedly ran forward. Seeing that the young man was in extreme pain, he couldn't stop clenching his fists and beating his temples. Xiao'e was frightened, and she was afraid that he would hurt her life if she beat him like this, so she grabbed the young man's wrists.
Unexpectedly, in this way, the young man deepened his pain even more, his eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were clucking. Xu bit his tongue, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
Xiao'e's eyes filled with tears, dripping to the tip of her chin, and falling down again. She put an arm to the young man's mouth, still grabbed a pair of wrists with both hands, and cried: "Young master, you can't bite your tongue, you bite Xiao'e, Xiao'e is not afraid of pain." Young master, young master..... You open your mouth. ”
The corners of the young man's mouth were blood-red, and suddenly, he opened his mouth and bit Xiao'e's arm.
Xiao'e shrunk her neck and closed her eyes suddenly. It's just a loss of flesh and an increase in a scar, as long as the young master is fine.
But the heartache she expected was delayed. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the young man was resisting the great pain, and his lips couldn't help trembling: "I, I said, I won't hurt you, don't ...... Fear. Remember, what I said to you, don't mention to anyone what is happening today......"
Before he finished speaking, the young man turned his head away and was already unconscious.
