Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other

Drops of red blood fell on the rain-drenched grass.

Abdominal pain is like a knife cut.

I finally sighed: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry..."

The voice fell, and the fire blazed down the slope. Only for a moment, the surrounding light was as bright as the day, and the soldiers raised their swords to surround us. I glanced at the person who was the first to go up in the official robes. It was He Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, anxious. It's like something, "The father, the princess...it's the princess! Hurry up, hurry up and protect your highness!"

I took a step back a little, and interrupted him, "Master He need not panic, my palace is fine."

With a bang, he followed my gaze to see the dagger falling on the ground, with a little blood on the tip.

Before Zuo left, I borrowed a gold blouse from him. At that time, he was embarrassed. I thought he was stingy. Now it seems that he has fallen into disrepair for a long time. Some of them can't resist the attack of sharp weapons. Inch, after all, it will still hurt.

Jun Lu Ling was really cruel. If it wasn't a gold silk blouse that was protecting my stomach, but an ordinary wooden block of copper or something, I was afraid that this sharp dagger could poke a big hole.

The rain had stopped, but I was still holding the oil-paper umbrella, and the sound of dripping blood was clear to my ears in such a quiet night.

Since the owner of the blood is not the princess. It can only be another person.

I can't help sighing again.

Tonight I asked Ah Zuo and Ah You before I left them with a question: "Which of you two has better arrow skills?"

Lu Lingjun had a feather arrow stuck in his shoulder blade and knee respectively.

He shook his body vigorously, and finally couldn't hold it. The arrow's knee knelt heavily on the ground, and the feather arrow snapped.

I frowned, expecting it to be extremely painful, but Brother Lu didn't even hum, straightening up and staring at me.

Those eyes that were always slightly bent on weekdays were filled with anger and sarcasm.

I just bowed my head while standing and looked at him for a moment, and continued with the unfinished words: "I'm sorry...you chose to give up your last life, Lu Lingjun."

——Second more——

Seeing that I was innocent, He Shangshu ordered Lu Lingjun to be **** and shouted: "Bold fanatics, who dare to assassinate the princess of the state of prison today? Who instigated it? He hasn't recruited him from the ground!"

Lu Lingjun's forehead became dense and sweaty, but the corners of his mouth were upturned. He Shangshu was a veteran in criminal cases. He was sent to stop Lu Lingjun to prevent him from committing suicide. It was not difficult to find Ni Duan.

"Master He." I flicked my sleeves and held my hands. "There are some things I want to say to Lu Lingjun alone."

He Shangshu hesitated: "This..."

"He is like this, I can't hurt this princess." I said lightly, "Even if he bit his tongue, we stared at so many pairs of eyes, stopped the bleeding and died, and the exchange was even more torture..." I turned around and glanced at him, "Brother Lu I know would never do such a stupid thing."

When He Shangshu led the crowd to retreat a little further away, I took down the strip of cloth stuffed into Jun Jun Lu Ling's mouth, looked at him with my eyes down, and said, "Actually, I don't want you to suffer more. Brother Lu , I have ordered someone to find out your details. You were blessed by King Kang when you were young. You have changed from a little sir to a maternity student. Although you were driven out of King Kang’s mansion in less than a year, after that, your Life is completely different. Although, I don’t know what you have gone through and what training you have received, but what you have done for them in these years, the connection between you and them after you came to Beijing to enter the Imperial Prison, the number of your martial arts skills, here All kinds of things are not without a trace, even if you don't confess anything, your existence, and the fact that so many people have witnessed you assassin me, have caused King Kang to get into big trouble."

Jun Lu Ling looked away with a slightly stunned look, and asked, "Did you...know this early in the morning?"

I shook my head and said, "The master behind me who wanted to kill me can be estimated more or less. I didn't know that the problem was you until Li Dusu died."

Jun Lu Ling asked in confusion: "Oh? I immediately appeared after you were assassinated and followed you to chase the murderer. Why do you see that this has something to do with me?"

"Because, it was not you who killed them." I slowly said, "It should be... Su Qiao."

"Li Wen and Du Fei both sealed their throats with a single knife. It can be seen that the assassin's sword is fast and accurate. However, Su Qiao's body can survive with three swords. Waiting for us to catch up and say something, move his body several times, the scene It’s too much. I saw the three swords in him, two shallow and one deep. I guessed that the deep one was cut by my shadow guard. Since he still wants to live, he shouldn’t let himself die easily, but he died in a flash. Well...Anyway, it was you who touched and touched him at the time. I think it was you who wanted to kill people..."

"You really are..." What was it, but didn't continue to say, Lu Lingjun gently shook his head and said: "I clicked on his dumb blood to speed up his bleeding," he paused, "I am. He didn't want to stop talking, but he killed Li Wen and Du Fei."

There was a river outside the housekeeper's window. Su Qiao was probably injured and wanted to escape from there, but he met Li Wen Du Fei, who was studying hard.

I whispered: "I know, so, I didn't hinder you."

"But you, why do you think I will kill you tonight? If you don't come, I won't be able to move my hands, and your shadow guard will follow you at any time."

I sat down cross-legged, with a moist buttocks on the grass, "I guess. I guess, I was assassinated on the cruise ship that day, could it be you and King Kang who joined together? Later you learned that I didn't really sink the boat. You died, that’s why you tricked me into appearing, didn’t you? Your so-called poisoned needle was just trying to mislead my assassin to pierce my heart with a poisoned needle. If you block it with a book, it’s all right. As a result, Su Qiao When I came to assassinate me, I used a whole box of Rainstorm Pear Flower Needles. You are so deliberate and working every step of the way. There should be some afterthoughts. I have been guessing, if I were you, how would I support the shadow guard and attack alone? Want to come? If you want to go, maybe you only have to go to a relatively empty place. The shadow guard has nowhere to hide and can only hibernate in a farther place. You will also be easier to get it. Hey, I just thought about it like that, and when I went back to the prison, I just watched it. The door to your room was wide open, and the clothes were nowhere to be seen, thinking, really, are you trying to bring me here?"

Jun Lu Ling seemed to smile, "It's not unprecedented that you suddenly disappeared several times."

I wrote lightly: "I was stimulated by the loss of my best friend and ran away alone in a heavy rainy night, even because of me, logically speaking, I should find you to comfort you. After all..."

After all, I still care about your friend.

Jun Lu Ling didn't speak any more. He was silent for a long time before he said: "If I don't kill you tonight, will your temporary deployments fail?"

I slowly said: "I just slept when I was hiding. I dreamed of you. In the dream, you couldn't put this hand on me. I held back for a long time to restore the original and tell me the truth. I was excited. I patted your thighs and said that my brothers talked about loyalty. You laughed and said that friendship has lasted forever, and finally the sun rises to a happy ending. Then I woke up with a smile."

Lu Lingjun: "..."

I drew the buffa from my cuffs and covered the blood leaking from my abdomen, "You don't have to feel guilty, I said to my shadow guard, if you kill me, you will shoot you carelessly. Who is it? I know, his arrow is so inaccurate, why didn't he hit you with a few shots in a row."

Lu Lingjun stared at me blankly.

I got up and looked down at him: "So we owe no one to anyone."

After that, I turned around and left. Never look at him again.

This route was sent back to the mansion by officers and soldiers, calm and peaceful.

But how could the current princess mansion be a peaceful place?

I wondered whether it would be safer to simply enter the palace, but I really don't want to face those tricky calculations all the time.

I thought of a place not far from the Imperial College.

Yulong Villa.

Once upon a time, Princess Xiangyi's favorite place to stay was the perfect landscape and eaves. At this moment, the outer layers of the village are heavily guarded, and the villagers are also sending people to clear the scene before my arrival. It is the first time since the amnesia, accompanied by a faint fog, the scenery in front of me is unexpectedly embarrassing.

After removing the guards placed by He Shangshu, I tried to shout twice, and Zuo and Ayou rushed out from the corner.

They wore horrible dark circles and waited for me to give the next tossing order.

I suddenly wanted to kick myself twice. Why should so many people suffer for you alone?

However, I can't do such a difficult movement by kicking myself, so I can only open the mouth and say: "You guys go to sleep."

When Ah Zuo and Ah You heard the words, they looked at each other first, and then came and knelt down. Zuo rushed to say: "Although Ah You and I have deep affection and love the same brothers and sisters... But there is no affair with children, princess, please think twice!"

I:"……"

Ah You trembled: "The princess... the subordinate is still a virgin... how can it be the first time, how can it be hasty!"

I:"……"

Ah Zuo Ben and Ah You are on the same front. Hearing this, he reduced his expression, turned his head to ask Ah You, and said seriously: "What is sloppy? Right, it is not appropriate for you to say that, do you doubt my ability in that respect?"

I:"……"

I don't know how Ah Zuo and Ah You finally went to bed and where they slept together.

All in all, at this moment, I just want to change this sticky **** and tired clothes and sleep comfortably, and talk about the rest after waking up.

The princess residence in Yulong Villa is quite quiet, with green vines surrounding the walls and crescent carved windows.

I squatted and dig out in the cabinet, but there was no thicker clothes except tulle or tulle. If I want to come, the Mountain Resort is only here because of the hot summer, so naturally the quilted jacket and winter clothes prepared in the palace will not be.

After searching through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, I finally touched a piece that feels comfortable underneath, and with a strong pull, it drew out a touch of immature powder.

The girl's court ladies' clothes were so familiar to them that they could no longer be familiar.

I am stunned. Slowly spread out this slightly wrinkled skirt.

For a moment, I seemed to see another petite me in memory, grabbing the skirt in his hand happily, and changing it happily, while calling the little maid next to him: "Cai Mi, my dear sister, you just put it on It lends me to wear it, don't be so stingy..."

"His Royal Highness, how does this make... If someone finds out, slaves and maids will be punished..."

"You put on my clothes and slept on the bed, who found it?" The little one, I changed my clothes and combed the maid's hair accessories, climbed onto the window sill, waved to the little maid, and smiled heartily. I smiled, "I'll go out to play for a while, and I'll be back in the evening. Anyway, your voice is so similar to me. Are you not afraid of it! Don't be wronged, I'm leaving!"

——Third more——

The picture was slightly blurred. I faintly picked up the Sipa to cover the red and swollen face that was stung by the bee. Then I couldn't think further down. I stepped forward and opened the window. The scenery outside the window was familiar to my eyes, and the pink figure was on the stone corridor. The appearance of jumping up and down came to mind again.

Now that there is no sleepiness, I simply turn over the window, trying to find how much the princess's past can be traced along the footsteps.

Although Xiao Xiangyi changed into the costume of a court lady, after all, it was just to conceal the public's attention. It would be unreliable if she wanted to go out in a big way. Who in this palace doesn't know the arrogant and arrogant Princess Xiangyi? Therefore, I found the shortest wall in the whole village with twists and turns, and climbed the big tree straight out.

At this moment, I raised my head and looked at the wall that was twice as high as I remembered, silently crying blood—hey, God, are you kidding me.

After spending a lot of effort to move to the other end of the high wall, you can see the pine shadows in front of you, even if it is refreshing, but...

I looked up. Staring at the mountains and forests.

Little sister, are you planning to climb over this mountain to visit the market? Or is it that you actually just sneaked out to climb the mountain to work out?

I hesitated whether to turn back again or walk around the front door, but in a blink of an eye I saw the stubborn look of childhood, stubborn and lonely holding my skirt and looking through the jungle, unwilling to admit defeat.

Knowing that it was a phantom from memory, I seemed to be touched in a soft place, sighed with mixed emotions, and my legs followed the ignorant past forward and upwards unwillingly.

She didn't know how long she had been climbing, she finally stopped and stared at the distant sky, as if a breeze drifted into her eyes, exuding a strange brilliance. I followed her gaze and looked forward, except for a gray sky and damp forest, but I couldn't see anything.

I was not puzzled, what was it looking at at the time?

Then I heard the little princess sigh: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's near dusk."

Suddenly, I understood.

The young girl's princess took so much effort to watch the sunset in peace.

I don't know why such a petite little girl, whose beautiful scenery is not here yet, why would she say such helplessness for a tardy person in the face of the beautiful scenery?

Is it because she foresaw that she would experience so much cruelty and betrayal, crises and assassinations in the future, only two years ago, is she about to wither and die?

I don't know.

I think I really shouldn't run around, it's better to turn around and sleep for a while.

I turned around and was about to go down the mountain, but I saw a thin gold line rising from the dark blue sky of the east, which was red and bright, and then slowly pierced through the clouds. In an instant, the fireball rose, colorful and splendid.

At this moment, the peaks and ridges were dyed with rose color, which coincided with what Xiao Xiangyi had seen many years ago.

It's just... I looked at the sunset to the west, but now I look at Dongfanghong.

I seemed to think of a sentence: "His Royal Highness always saves people with evil, but I don't know that this mind is always seen to be perfect, the world is flawless, and this mind is often relaxed, and the world has no danger."

It wasn't until the surrounding light came up that I realized that what I was in was a maple forest at the moment, my eyes were full of maple red blooming in a mess, and a strange emotion arose from the bottom of my heart. The red color seemed to produce a certain temperature, which burned even the air. Warm up.

Just as the mountain breeze was blowing, it made the maple trees rustle, and my heart was chaotic. I paused and walked towards the tallest tree.

Facts have proved that when feelings are brewing, IQ must be indifferent.

So when I stepped on the air, my whole body was first light, and then I fell heavily into the pit under the ground, I remembered a sentence again-I have fallen twice in the same place, and being alive is a kind of Miracle.

I patted my **** and looked around at the big pit full of leaves. I didn’t see any sharp bamboo tips. This trap is not used to catch flying insects and beasts, but there are no objects that can be climbed at such a height. If no one finds out starving to death The possibility of being on a barren mountain is still not small.

I tried to yell Azuo Azuo twice... as expected, no one was there. I also embrace the fluke that they are especially loyal to protect the lord, and would rather be overworked to die than to follow me secretly... It seems that I really ran to sleep...

I sighed, it is fashionable today, let alone back then.

Xiangyi who was still so small had nothing to do except crying for help, scratching the stone wall with her little hand stupidly, and smashing her farts.

To make matters worse, seeing the sun set, the sky was dark, and the mountains and forests were even colder at night, I could only squat and hug my knees, shaking and shaking while looking up at the sky full of stars, crying and crying.

Until I heard a boy's voice: "Who is crying down there?"

As if I heard the sound of the heavens, I gave a rousing voice, crying and said: "I, I'm below!"

A head popped up from above, but couldn't see clearly because of the faint moonlight, "Who are you?"

"I am..." At that time, he thought vigilantly, if it was a culprit, what would he do, then said: "I am... the maid of the palace... accidentally fell to this point... you, could you save me?"

The boy gave a cry and said, "Yes."

I shouted: "Then you jump down!"

Boy: "...I don't have a rope in my hand, you wait for me to go down the mountain to get it..."

I asked urgently: "How long will it take you to go down the mountain and then up the mountain the fastest?"

"Two hours."

Leave me alone for so long? What if a tiger or lion passing by eats me? I panicked: "No. No, no, no, no, no, you, you have to stay." If there are beasts, they may eat you first and don't have to eat me. I thought so.

The boy said helplessly: "My effort is not enough to jump down and save you, little sister."

"Yes, but I’m alone, I’m afraid, I’ll be cold, sleepy, so cold and sleepy, if I fall asleep, I won’t wake up. You, you stay and watch me, talk to me, and wait until dawn Now, the sun is out, and I’m warmer. You can find the rope again, okay?"

A thick padded jacket covers my face.

The boy said: "Put it on. You obviously don't dare to be alone. There are so many excuses."

It was agreed.

I threw on my jacket with joy, which made me feel much warmer. Looking up, the boy seemed to be sitting on the edge of the pit, showing a little corner of his clothes. There was no movement for a long time, and he didn't know what he was doing.

I thought about it, and said, "Eh, why are you on the mountain so late?"

He said: "Eh what, impolite little girl."

Me: "But you didn't tell me your name."

He said: "The name is not big or small, little sister, just call me the big brother."

This is clearly taking advantage of others. I did not show weakness and said: "Why? Maybe you are younger than me."

He laughed and said, "I'm seventeen, and you."

I snorted.

Seeing that I didn't respond, he stuck out his black head again, and said, "I have nothing to say, right? Why don't you shout Big Brother?"

"I don't shout." I looked up very spine, "I'm not a girl who recognizes my brother everywhere."

"Then I won't save you."

"...Don't shout."

"I'm leaving."

"..."

...

"Big Brother Big Brother Big Brother!"

Then there was a hearty laugh, "What a naughty girl."

I snorted again and wandered around in the pit restlessly, but then listened to him: "You, stay honest, or you will really fall asleep when you are tired."

I pouted, my heart was really unfair, and I knew exactly how he looked at it. After thinking about it, I was still covered with gauze, and he couldn't see what I looked like, and he couldn't help feeling proud.

As the night was long, I sat bored and said, "Big brother, tell me a story."

Perhaps it was because I heard what I yelled very pleasantly. He said in a good tone: "Okay."

I obediently raised my head.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who climbed a mountain and fell into a trap."

I:"……"

he:"……"

I gritted my teeth and said: "...and then?"

"No more." He said: "Because she never crawled out again."

I:"……"

———————————— Fourth more————————————

I stomped my feet angrily, just about to curse, but my head was hit by something hot. I reached out and touched it. It turned out to be a pancake, and it was slightly hot. A voice came from above my head: "Make a fire and bake the pancake for you." If you eat hot, you won’t be afraid of the cold, and you might as well take a rest if you’re not cold or hungry."

I swallowed. I was scared all the way, but I didn’t feel hungry. At this moment, seeing the food, I felt hungry, so I couldn’t worry about whether the pie falling from the sky would be a trap. The pie is taken into the belly, and the warmth of the thighs also rushes to my heart.

I lay obediently on the pile of leaves, and I couldn’t help guessing who the eldest brother here was. Although he loved to scare people, he finally met with me occasionally, and let me I don't feel that I am alone, and I don't even notice when the anxiety and fear slip away. From this point of view, he should be a good-hearted person.

I fell asleep thinking about it.

When I woke up, the stars in the sky and the moon were long gone, and there was no light in my eyes. There was no difference between opening and closing my eyes several times. I almost thought I was blind.

I yelled a few times: "Big Brother!"

quietly.

I was so scared that I stood up and shouted: "Big brother! Are you there?"

It was still dead, and there seemed to be no living creatures all around.

he's gone.

Fear spread all over the body along the darkness.

He actually left while I was asleep?

I subconsciously wiped the tears that slid with the back of my hand over and over again, trying to calm myself down. But darkness swallows endlessly, how can we stop crying? Endless grievances came surging, and finally I squatted down and couldn't help crying.

I cried for a long time, for a long time, until I cried so dizzy, I heard a sound of crashing in my ears.

I raised my head in response, but closed the eyelashes of the strong light thorn.

Before I knew it, I cried until dawn.

After slowly adapting, I opened my eyes again, and I saw countless maple leaves moving in the light, falling down like a red butterfly.

Following this, a figure pierced the light and jumped down from the entrance of the hole, the blue cloth robe floated in the air, lingering in countless brilliance, that style was truly magnificent and incomprehensible. Although you can't see the appearance of the person against the light, I know it's him.

For a moment, my heart was beating, and my eyes were filled with confusion and confusion, letting the maple leaves fall between my hair, shoulders, and on the apex of my heart.

At that time, I thought to myself, if time could stop abruptly at this moment, it would be great.

But... Now that I see my memories stuck here, it makes me feel so embarrassed.

No matter how unbearable fate, I have to remind me of what it was like to give birth to my heart-wrenching elder brother for so many years.

I sighed against Shi Bi.

At dawn, the person who came to pick me up in the palace didn't see my figure, I'm afraid that the assassin on King Kang's side should be ready to move again. If a fire is now making smoke to make people aware of me, is the first person to find me an enemy or a friend?

Can't take this risk, the bet is too big.

But how can I escape this cave just by myself?

I stomped my feet distractedly. Why could I think about everything else, but then I went back because of what kind of big brothers or memories, and I was throwing myself into a crisis?

I raised my head helplessly, looking at the bright clear sky above, and suddenly wanted to ask the sky, why do layers of sadness flow from my heart during such a sunny season? Why let me forget the people I loved deeply when I was young? Why did the people I depended on closely forget me? Why can't I feel the warmth of family affection after returning home? Why should even the last trace of friendship and trust be destroyed? Why can't I get a moment of peace after experiencing so many things? Why do you always push me to such a situation and make me unable to find someone to rely on?

I grabbed my chest and lowered my head. I just felt that I was full of grievances. There was no place to vomit. Or a woman, an old man or a child, whoever is good, even if there is only one, one who can treat me sincerely, can be sad for my sadness, and be happy for my joy, at least let me not feel that I am the only one in this world. . If there is such a person who truly loves me, even if he is poisoned and died in half a year, I will have no regrets or regrets.

While thinking like this, I heard the rustling of leaves again.

The same sound as memory.

However, I stared blankly at the red maple in front of me, but I didn't have the courage to look up.

I am afraid that it is just the leaves blown by a gust of wind, and I am afraid that these are just empty joys. I waited, waited only a moment, but it seemed like thousands of years had passed, until I heard the hoarse and low call: "Princess."

Familiar to intoxicating.

I raised my head in disbelief, raised my head, and waited for my blurred vision to gradually become clear, so clear that I could see the face of the person in front of me, so clear...I saw clearly that it was in this cave when I was thirteen years old. , The same person.

This, a man with extremely elegant eyes with intoxicating eyes at a glance.

This, while I was asleep, I drove down the mountain overnight to get a rope and rushed back to rescue my man.

This, after wiping my tears, put sugar into my mouth like a trick to make fun of me as a coward.

This, the man who made me wait for a whole night under the maple tree but couldn't wait for the man who promised me a lifetime together.

This made me miss the five springs and autumns but the man who disturbed my life appeared again.

This, made me try my best to grab the man who made me cry again and again but indifferent.

The past was endless like a tide. He brushed my face with his generous palm, as if frightened, and as if he was afraid of frightening me, and asked a little at a loss: "Why cry? Where did I get hurt? Huh? Where does it hurt?"

When the rain was wet and the dust was light, and the red maple was falling, it seemed that Song Lang and I were the only ones between the sky and the earth, above the clouds.

Tears seemed to flow endlessly, and my heartbeat seemed to get stronger and stronger. I opened my mouth several times, but I didn't know what to say.

What should I say?

It should be said, do you know that I am the little sister back then? Picking honey is just the maid I sent to inform you that I will be late?

I should say, do you know how scared and helpless I am, where have you been after so long?

Or should you say, do you know that I fell again, once again, want to abandon everything just like this?

Then I felt his trembling arms tightly wrapped my head in his arms, and gently said: "Fortunately, fortunately, you are fine."

I wrapped his waist unconsciously, and slowly said, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry?" He held up my face suspiciously and touched my hair, "Why suddenly apologize to me?"

Tears welled up again, and I couldn't hear any sound anymore, lest it was just Nanke Yimeng, there was an impulse to be unable to myself.

I stood on tiptoe, no longer let him wipe the tears from the corner of my eye, but reached out and put my arm around his neck to make him bend down slightly.

Before he could react to what I was going to do, I resolutely exhausted the last bit of strength in my whole body and kissed his lips.

Sorry, I haven't recognized you for so long, big brother.
