Flower Moon

Chapter 55

"I won't leave! If Hua Ling can't be rescued, I will never leave!"

Tao Yue'er was so anxious that the woodcutter sighed and sat by the bed.Seeing Tao Yueer's excited appearance, he told Tao Yueer a story.

He said: "Niaoyi Lane, jade bamboo fan, beside the Zhuque bridge, the grave of the woman who died with hatred is full of scarlet flowers. People who pass by will be confused by her obsession and fall into the land of tenderness. In the end, even the bones None can be found."

"The tomb of flowers is Yuhua... No, it's Yin Hanshuang's tomb, right?"

When Tao Yueer mentioned the word 'Han Shuang', the woodcutter's expression tightened obviously: "You know Han Shuang? She even told you this?"

Tao Yue'er didn't care about the woodcutter's panic at all, and only asked her own doubts: "Han Shuang, when did she die?"

The woodcutter bowed his head, was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Do the math, it's been nearly 30 years."

"30 years!" Tao Yueer exclaimed, "Why hasn't her body decomposed yet?"

"Those who are bewitched will become her food for her immortal life and immortality." When the woodcutter spoke, there was almost a pilgrimage in his eyes.

"Ridiculous!" Tao Yue'er slapped her palm on the table, "She's already dead, so how can she live a long life?"

"As long as Yanhua Tower exists, she will not die. As long as I am still in this world, I will keep her body safe."

"You're deceiving yourself!" Tao Yue'er looked at him with burning eyes, and then quickly realized something, and became a little panicked: "No, you are not an ordinary woodcutter, you are a servant of Yuhua, who are you? ?”

At this time, the woodcutter's wrinkled face had regained his calm, and he said calmly, "It's just an old man who is dying."

"You..." Tao Yue'er wasn't sure, and asked tentatively, "Are you Song Li?"

Hearing this, the woodcutter trembled again: "I am not!" This time, he was not as calm as before.

The woodcutter stood up, walked quickly to the door, picked up the ax and pointed it at Tao Yue'er: "Go! Get out of here!" When he mentioned Song Li, he was even more angry than Yu Hua.

Tao Yue'er was frightened by his appearance at first, but soon realized that if he wasn't Song Li, he wouldn't be so excited.

"You are Song Li! You are Hanshuang's husband-in-law. You failed her and caused her to become like this, right?" Tao Yueer approached Song Li.

"I'm not!" Song Li waved his ax in the air, and he tried his best to prevent Tao Yue'er from approaching him: "Don't force me! Get out! Get out——!"

"Song Li! Come with me to see Hanshuang, only you can save Hua Ling!" Tao Yueer saw that Song Li didn't really want to kill herself, so she quickly dodged his ax and held his hand : "Don't you want to see Hanshuang?"

"I don't want to!" Song Li's eyes were red, and she picked up the ax frantically, and slashed at Tao Yue'er's shoulder.

Tao Yue'er dodged, avoiding the fate of breaking her arm, but a streak of blood was still drawn from her shoulder.

"This, this is what you forced me to do! If you don't leave, I will make you one of the thousands of dead souls!" The woodcutter had obvious guilt on his face.Obviously, he's not good at killing people.

He probably didn't really kill a few people.

Realizing this, Tao Yue'er became much calmer.

"Don't run away anymore." Tao Yue'er fell by the door, endured the pain, and comforted her: "Han Shuang has been looking for you! It's been 30 years, and you still don't plan to see her?"

"She's been looking for me?" Song Li was taken aback for a moment, then said in a daze: "No, no, she will never want to see Song Li again! He failed her, he killed her!"

"Crack!" Song Li's ax fell to the ground, and he also fell to the ground, covering his face and crying.

"She let me out just to let me find you. I beg you, come with me to see her!"

"How do I see you?" Song Li raised her head and looked at Tao Yue'er in pain: "I have guarded her in Huazhong for 20 years, but I have never entered Huazhong. Tell me, how should I meet her?" ?”

"Can't you go in?" Tao Yue'er was taken aback, and said in surprise, "Could it be that you sent me and Hua Ling in?"

Song Li shook her head: "I haven't done anything, the only thing I can do is to take care of this sea of ​​flowers so that she can sleep forever in the most beautiful place."

"Then how do you know about Nanhualou?"

"It's what the survivors said."

Song Li's eyes were empty, and she said desolately: "They watched all the romance and love affairs in the Yuhua Building. They said that the most beautiful person in the Yuhua Building was called Yuhua. She always wore crimson clothes and held a handful of white jade bamboos. Festival umbrella, on that umbrella are the crimson acacia flowers all over the mountains and plains."

"However, this doesn't mean that Yuhua is Hanshuang." If Tao Yue'er hadn't heard Hualing's story, she wouldn't be sure.

After Tao Yue'er finished speaking, Song Li took a deep breath and said, "They also said that there is a patterned scar on the lower back of Yuhua, which is uneven to the touch, like a burn."

Song Li covered her face and wiped her tears: "That is the scar she accidentally burned by the groom Yanqing when she was a child. Doesn't this prove her identity? If someone says that, I won't take it to heart. But over the years, several people have mentioned it one after another, and I can see the appearance of Yanhua from their mouths..."

As Song Li spoke, she burst into tears.

The people in the tomb wanted to find Song Li.Song Li has been lingering outside the door, unable to enter through the door.Not only that, but you also have to hear about her charming affairs with other men every now and then.

Tao Yue'er could feel his grief, but she didn't know how to comfort him.

"The demonic aura is so strong, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid you will become a demon!" At this moment, a female voice like a silver bell came from outside the door, and there were a series of footsteps.

Tao Yue'er got up and turned around, and saw four people in moon white clothes walking quickly.The leading woman held a long sword in her hand and pushed the door aggressively.

"Who sent the signal flare just now? Was it you?" The woman pointed her long sword and looked at Tao Yue'er.

The arrival made Tao Yue'er a little dazed.Her facial features and Chen Qiubi seemed to be carved out of the same mold, but her aura would never let her recognize the wrong person.

The woman has firm eyebrows and clear lines, and her facial features are full of heroism.There is pride in every gesture.It is very different from the weak Chen Qiubi.Compared with her, the three men behind her also looked cowardly, obviously her followers.

"Ask you, are you dumb?" the woman shouted with fierce eyes.

Only then did Tao Yue'er come back to her senses, and she nodded again and again: "Yes, it's me." Tao Yue'er heard that they were all disciples of Xuanqingzong, and they came when they saw the signal flare.

"Who are you? What is the relationship between Senior Brother Han Yu and you?" The woman was aggressive and seemed to care about Ji Hanyu very much.

Tao Yueer saluted and begged: "My name is Tao Yueer, and I am a friend of Young Master Ji. Before he left, he left a signal for me, saying that as long as I am in trouble, someone will come to help me. Heroes, you Are you here to help me?"
