Chapter 24 Tenderness and Bone Piercing I

Facing Xiao Yao's questioning, Lian Yingxue finally admitted that she gave him the only remaining Shennong Pill of the Shennong clan in order to save Xiao Yao that day, and the medicinal effect of the Shennong Pill is indeed as told by the ghost third aunt Xiao Yao, and it is necessary to use the blood of the descendants of the Shennong clan as a medicine guide, although Xiao Yao had already guessed a little truth in his heart, but at this time, when he really got confirmation from Lian Yingxue, thinking of the scene when Lian Yingxue cut his wrists and used blood to help him with medicine, the whole person was still distressed, and it also made him feel it for the first time. Yi Ren En Zhong' such a sentence.

Pity Yingxue can't forget that Shennong Dan is placed in the blood Bodhi core, and the blood Bodhi core was used by her under her tongue to change her voice in the past, and she smashed the blood Bodhi seed to take out the Shennong Dan in a hurry, and now every time she remembers the scene of the day, she will always be shy like a fire, but if time can be turned back and really let her choose again, she may still be as righteous as she was that day.

On the second day, the carriage finally passed through a small river, and Pian Yingxue was very happy to take Xiao Yao's changed clothes to the river to wash it, and in the process of pulpping, Pian Yingxue inadvertently glimpsed her reflection in the water, and couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the ugly face full of messy hair.

She had always worn this mask on her face, and over time she had become so accustomed to it that she had almost forgotten that she wore a mask all the time.

After waking up, although Lian Yingxue found that the seams of the mask were soaked by the river, she still didn't understand some things at that time, so she re-glued the position of the seams, and after she and Xiao Yao confided their true feelings to each other that day, although the identity and story were told to Xiao Yao, she didn't take off the mask until today.

The dry and scorched yellow face reflected in the river water, Pity Yingxue was almost numb to see in the past, since the ghost third aunt Emperor Ru Xia was surrounded by several enemies in the Star River Valley when he was weak, and was almost violated by the wicked.

Di Ruxia made a terrifying mask to cover her face, as the so-called soldier dies for the confidant, and the woman is the one who pleases herself, in her mind, the pity who was worthy of her love has already died, and then what left her was only her enemy Xuanyuan Aoki.

The man in the world is so lucky, she doesn't want others to see her face, and when the holy hand scholar Han Guangjie, who is the Hundred Changing Star Monarch, lives in seclusion in the Star River Valley, she sees the terrifying mask worn by the ghost third aunt, and knows some of the merits and demerits of the year from Tianyuan Zi Chu Rangsan, and personally took action for a few months to make an extraordinary human skin * mask for the ghost third aunt.

Ordinary human skin* masks can only change the facial features of the disguised person, but the mask made by Han Guangjie painstakingly can not only completely change the face of the wearer, but also cover the wearer's original hair, this mask is enough to use three of the four pieces of the belly skin of the beast that Han Guangjie easily collected, and the seams are unique and different from ordinary human skins* The opening of the mask's jaw and bun, but the opening is left under the collarbone, in addition to not showing the wearer's face, even the expression can be shown vividly without the slightest flaw, and even better is that this mask is as light as nothing without any discomfort.

After the ghost third aunt accepted the mask made by Han Guangjie for him, he has been showing people with this face, and then the ghost third aunt submitted a blood bodhisattva to Han Guangjie, and let him make a Hu core that can change his voice and hold it under his tongue, and the time is still that even Tianyuanzi Chu made Sanhe forget the original appearance of the ghost third aunt, and only remembered this extremely ugly face.

Since she was sensible, she remembered that her mother had changed her face like this, and every year since then, Di Ru Xia has maintained this face when she comes to see her daughter, and now that Di Ru Xia has passed away, this ugly mask has been passed on to Lian Yingxue along with the Hu core that hides Shennong Dan.

When Lian Yingxue first put on this mask, every time she looked in the mirror or faced the water, she couldn't help but think of her late mother and was very sad, and gradually she got used to seeing this face, and slowly calmed down, maybe in a few years, she would almost forget her former face like her mother.

It's just that when this false face was reflected in the river at this time, Lian Yingxue had the idea of breaking free from this face for the first time......

Is the life her mother arranged for her really the life she wants, she can't help but ask herself in her heart.

After washing the clothes, Lian Yingxue wrung out the clothes and put them on her arms.

At this time, Xiao Yao had already set up a fire frame on one side, and selected a few branches to erect a stand next to the fire for Pian Yingxue to dry his clothes.

The fat oozing from the roe deer dripped on the fire, making a sizzling sound, and the tempting aroma of meat wafted around along the breeze, and when the roe deer was almost baked, Xiao Yao took out a few dry cakes and put them on the fire.

The medicine bowl was also transformed into a rice bowl, and the delicious fish soup was boiled.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Yao hurriedly took the fragrant roe deer leg that had been baked and handed it to her, but Pian Yingxue first took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on her forehead for Xiao Yao, and then took over the roe deer leg.

This roe deer leg was cooked by Xiao Yao's golden color on the outside and tender on the inside, but Pian Yingxue was a little interested in holding it in her hand, Xiao Yao thought that she didn't like roe deer meat, and hurriedly took a bowl of delicious fish soup and handed it over.

Lian Yingxue took the fish soup, smiled at Xiao Yao, took a sip and put the bowl beside him, Xiao Yao realized that there was something wrong with Lian Yingxue's mood, and hurriedly asked: "Poor girl, what's wrong with you, I see that you are worried about something." "This is a mess of concern, you must know that the true inheritance of the mother's life and death dilemma ghost and third aunt is much better than Xiao Yaolai.

Lian Yingxue suddenly spoke: "Brother Xiao, you should know that my current face is fake. ”

Xiao Yao said: "Poor girl, I know that this mask originally belonged to my uncle, and then she gave this mask to you, didn't she?"

Lian Yingxue whispered: "That's right, since my mother died, I have been wearing this mask, Brother Xiao, I was in a coma for those days, since you have discovered the secret of this mask, have you ...... Is there a ......" Lian Yingxue said as her voice became smaller and quieter, and finally she was almost inaudible like a mosquito.

Xiao Yao was puzzled and said, "Poor girl, what are you talking about? ”

Lian Yingxue finally mustered up the courage to say: "I just want to ask, have you ever uncovered my mask during the days when I was in a coma?"

Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "Although Xiao is not talented, he will never do such an abrupt thing, when you are unconscious, I just happened to find the flaw in this mask, but I never meant to offend the girl, as for the clothes when the girl was unconscious, it was also handled by the maid I hired when I was in Zhendian, the girl is ice clear and jade, and there is no offense at all, if Xiao has half a lie, he will die a tragic death in the future......

When Lian Yingxue heard Xiao Yao say this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but another faint loss that could not be explained surged together, and she couldn't tell what it was like, so she hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao, you misunderstood, I just want to know if you have seen my appearance, and I don't mean to blame you." ”

Xiao Yao said: "Although you wear a mask all day long, you can see from your words and demeanor that you must be extraordinary, but I really have never seen the true face of the girl under the mask." ”

When Lian Yingxue heard Xiao Yao praise her words and deeds, her heart couldn't help but flutter wildly, and she said softly: "After so many days, why did you never ask me, Brother Xiao, or let me take off my mask." ”

Xiao Yao scratched his head and said: "The poor girl has been wearing the mask on her face, thinking that she must have her own troubles, since you are unwilling to take it off, how can I force you." ”

Pian Yingxue said: "Then if I tell you that in fact, my appearance under the mask is very ugly, you... Will you still treat me the way you used to... I mean... I mean, you're going to stay with me forever?"

Xiao Yao said in a straight way: "Poor girl, whether you are beautiful or mediocre, for me you are you, this is enough, people's appearance is destined to be helpless when they are born, compared to a person's soul is the most important, some people are born with a good skin but full of filth (Xiao Yao at this time remembered Yin Tiancheng in the Ziyang Temple of Jiuyang Mountain, this life is dignified, but he acts disgracefully), and even if the ghost master shows her ugly face, she is a hundred times better than such a person. ”

Lian Yingxue was a little happy and a little apprehensive: "Brother Xiao, do you really think so in your heart?"

Xiao Yao nodded solemnly, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life was none other than the four envoys of the Xuanluo Divine Sect Xuanluo Four Fierce Yin Corpse Poisonous Waves, this person can be described as a charming and natural country, even if he was an enemy, Xiao Yao was still amazed by her charm, but the Lang Envoy had a look of a country and a city, but his heart was much more hideous and terrifying than a poisonous scorpion.

As if she had finally made up her mind, she reached out and pinched the seam of the mask, turned her head and slowly removed the entire mask.

The silver mess was gone, replaced by a long, inky hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.

Lian Yingxue slowly turned around, Xiao Yao finally saw the face under Lian Yingxue's mask, and the first thing that came into view was a vermilion birthmark, like a blood stain splashed on his face, which was even more shocking against the background of Lian Yingxue's white skin.

Xiao Yao only then understood what Lian Yingxue's worries were, he didn't say anything, because all his words were pale at this time, and he used his actions to tell Lian Yingxue his answer.

I saw him take a few steps forward, gently hugged the somewhat overwhelmed Lian Yingxue, lowered his head and gently kissed Lian Yingxue's forehead, his movements were very light but firm, and his heart was unexpectedly calm and peaceful.

Lian Yingxue lay in Xiao Yao's arms, feeling the warm and firm embrace of the other party, tears finally couldn't help but flow down, at this moment she knew that she had found that kind of happiness, that kind of happiness that every girl was looking for, that kind of happiness that her mother was fascinated by and heartbroken, she finally understood the severe pain of her mother back then, anyone who lost such happiness would go crazy, if there was really that day, Lian Yingxue didn't know if she could be as strong as her mother, but listening to the calm and peaceful heartbeat, she knew that she was much luckier than her mother。

Hearing the sobbing sound of Lian Yingxue, Xiao Yao was a little panicked, but he didn't know how to comfort the girl in his arms, so he could only hug her tighter and make her feel her presence.

It took a while for Ying Xue to calm down, and she reluctantly left Xiao Yao's warm embrace, raised her head and looked at Xiao Yao with tears in her eyes and said, "Brother Xiao, even if Yingxue looks like this, will you still be good to me." ”

Xiao Yao stretched out his hand, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes for Lian Yingxue, and said softly: "Yingxue, your body is still very weak, don't cry, it will hurt you, we still have a long way to go in the future, right?" ”

Lian Yingxue nodded vigorously, raised her head and looked at Xiao Yao's sincere eyes, her face was already a little pale because she had been covered under the mask for many years, and because she had released a lot of blood for Xiao Yao before, revealing a heartbreaking whiteness.

Until Xiao Yao pulled her back to sit next to the bonfire, re-roasted the roe deer leg and handed it to Lian Yingxue, who took the roe deer leg and took a bite lightly, and handed Xiao Yao a sweet smile.

Xiao Yao was happy to see that she liked it, and changed a bowl of fish soup for Lian Yingxue again.

It was getting late, so the two simply slept on the edge of the river, saying that they were sleeping in the open, but there were pillows and bedding in the carriage, and Pian Yingxue could rest very comfortably in the carriage, while Xiao Yao sat outside the carriage to meditate and exercise.

When night fell, Lian Yingxue took the medicine and fell asleep slowly, in her dream she seemed to be back to her mother Di Ru Xia, she happily told Di Ru Xia about her joy, and Di Ru Xia kept looking at her with a faint smile without saying a word.

After a while, the picture in the dream changed suddenly, and Lian Yingxue seemed to have returned to a few years ago, looking at the familiar street in front of her, and the big brother who had told her fortune, she ran over happily to tell the other party that she finally found the person who could hear the song of her heart and was willing to accompany her for life, but the big brother who told the fortune told kept looking at her with a faint smile and didn't say a word.

This made Lian Yingxue a little scared, and as soon as the picture turned, the dream seemed to jump back to more than ten years ago, the night when his father Xuanyuan Aoki left his mother, and when his mother woke up from her sleep, the person who had been with her had been with her had long since disappeared.

Slowly, Di Ruxia's sad face gradually distorted and deformed, and finally turned out to be the appearance of pity Yingxue......

Pian Yingxue sat up from the carriage violently, her face became more and more pale, her heart had never beaten so fast for a moment, she quickly put on her robe and lifted the curtain in a hurry, and then her eyes froze.

The figure outside the carriage was gone, just like the scene when Xuanyuan Aoki disappeared in a dream, and Xiao Yao, who was supposed to meditate in front of the carriage, disappeared......

At this time, the sky was already faint and the east was white, but Pian Yingxue had no intention of paying attention to the sky, she staggered and jumped off the carriage, trying to find the person who had taken her heart and taken her soul.

It's just that outside the carriage, except for the sound of the rushing water of the river, there is a deathly silence, and there is not the slightest trace left around the carriage.

What about Xiao Yao?

What happened to him, or did he abandon her like her father Xuanyuan Aoki abandoned her mother Emperor Ruxia, and even so, why was he so cruel that he didn't even want to leave a letter.

Pian Yingxue sat outside the carriage in despair, just yesterday the person was still sitting here, and it seemed that there was still a unique warmth in the air.

Stretching out her hand, Lian Yingxue once again plucked the heartstrings and played the heartstrings, this time the melody flying out from under the slender jade fingers was a kind of desolation like the exhaustion of everything......

At this moment, only to hear a 'bang', a person emerged from under the river, this person looked in the direction from which the sound of the piano came from with some panic, and did not even care about a fat swimming fish in his hand slipping from his palm......

Pian Yingxue, who was sitting outside the carriage, saw this somewhat embarrassed figure coming out of the water, and tears couldn't help falling again.

Xiao Yao climbed ashore from the river, didn't care about the wet clothes on his body, ran to the front of the carriage in three steps and two steps, and was relieved to see that Lian Yingxue was safe and sound, but he didn't know why the other party was crying......

It turned out that at dawn before, Xiao Yao happened to practice Zhou Tian to collect the exercises, remembering that Lian Yingxue seemed to be very fond of the fish soup he made yesterday, and remembered that Lian Yingxue's face was a little pale after taking off his mask, so he decided to go into the water to catch a few more fresh fish to make soup.

At this time, the sky was bright, and the river was still a little bleak, Xiao Yao had just dived into the river and easily grabbed a fat silver carp, and he felt a grief-stricken melody pass through the cold river water into Xiao Yao's heart.

Xiao Yao recognized that this was the song of the heartstrings of Pian Yingxue, and what shocked him was that although the songs played by Pian Yingxue in the past were occasionally sad, they did not have the cold will to die like today.

Xiao Yao was really shocked by this, just thinking that he had left for a while, something had happened to Lian Yingxue, and he hurriedly swam up from the water without caring about the side, and as soon as he came out of the water, he saw Lian Yingxue sitting outside the carriage as if he had lost his soul......

In this way, he was even more frightened, and hurriedly left the river and walked to Lian Yingxue, and saw the other party crying and was about to ask why.

Lian Yingxue suddenly took him into her arms and cried, Xiao Yao seemed to be able to feel the hesitation and uneasiness of the girl in her arms, remembering the story that had happened to the other party's parents, and vaguely seemed to understand something.

Pian Yingxue threw herself into Xiao Yao's arms and cried for a while, but gradually fainted without a sound, but Pian Yingxue's body was already weak, from yesterday's great joy, to this morning's great sorrow and great joy, the mood fluctuated too much in just a few hours......
