night enchanting

Chapter 9 Goodbye Rumo (2)
Yi Yu hugged Rumo's body that was trembling to the point of convulsions, and tears welled up all at once.Rumo, she has always been able to smile and listen to the sound of swords piercing into bones, but when this Gu poison flares up, the heart-biting pain of thousands of ants, even Ling Chi, will not be more terrifying than this!
"Rumo..." Yi Yu cried, "Why did you kill him? If you don't kill him, at least we still have a chance to ask him for medicine."

"No!" Rumo shook his head, uttering the word "no" with difficulty, so weak, but so firm.It was a devil, and she never regretted killing him. Even though the blood of that devil was her only antidote, she would rather die than be controlled by others.

In the winter ten years ago, on the Langya Mountain where the snow never melted, she was ruthlessly pushed off the cliff by her dearest and most beloved mother.The devil said that she was a martial arts prodigy with clear bones, and forced her to swallow the life-death Gu that was alive and kicking in the blood. It is your only antidote. If I live, you will live; if I die, you will live better than death! This is called life-death Gu. You are a natural martial arts genius, as long as you are obedient and practice magic skills, use them for me, I will Will give you the antidote periodically."

At that moment, what she wanted most was not the antidote, but to kill that devil immediately.But at that time, she didn't have that ability.

For eight full years, that man treated her like an inescapable pet. When he was in a good mood, he would give her the antidote. If he was in a bad mood, he would take pleasure in watching her in pain when the poisonous poison broke out.Therefore, she practiced kung fu desperately, endured what others could not endure, and endured what others could not bear. In eight years, she not only practiced a peerless magic skill that no one could practice for hundreds of years, but also learned how to laugh at cruelty.

At the age of 15, when she first achieved her magical powers, the first thing she did was to tear the corpse of the person who had committed a voodoo into thousands of pieces.That devil, at the last moment before he died, still couldn't believe that she had personally destroyed the only hope for her to live!

The cold sweat on her forehead soaked her hair and clothes quickly. She struggled to break free from Yi Yu and rolled on the ground, sometimes hitting her head against the wall and sometimes scratching her chest until her whole body was numb, exhausted and unable to move anymore.She closed her eyes, and she didn't even have the strength to breathe, only her weak consciousness was gradually withdrawn from her body, as if she was about to die.

"Rumo, don't sleep! You can't wake up if you sleep, Rumo... Please, don't sleep!" Yi Yu cried and rushed towards her, hugged her tightly, and kept shaking her unconscious body.

Life and death Gu Life and death Gu is to wander between life and death, if you survive it, you will live, if you can't survive it, you will die.She has always understood.What I don't understand is that life is so painful and there is no hope in sight, but why does she insist on living every time?
Her consciousness became more and more blurred, and she and Yi Yu who was holding her seemed to be separated into two different worlds, but Yi Yu's panicked and frightened voice still trembled in her ear: "Ru Mo, you forgot How did we get to where we are today? In that place full of darkness, cruelty, and blood, we stepped on dead bodies... We agreed together to hold hands and walk forward bravely. Unless the other party finds happiness, we will never leave, never leave. Give up! So many years... We have survived, how can you give up now? I know, you are in pain, but please bear with it... Bear with it! I haven't found my happiness yet, how can you give up? Leave me alone..."

Tears fell like rain, sobbing choked up.

Rumo wanted to open her eyes, but she was so powerless.

Yi Yu said again: "Have you forgotten your hatred? Hate your father's betrayal, your mother's cruelty, and the Nangong family's dominance... That woman in your father's backyard is still alive, you How can you die? Because of these hates, you can't sleep, you can't sleep, Rumo!"

hatred?her hate...

In the vague consciousness, a long memory suddenly emerged.

"Daddy, don't marry that princess, mother will be sad! Daddy, don't marry..."

"Mother, no matter who daddy marries, mother will always be Yan'er's favorite person and also Yan'er's only mother!"

It was a cold and windy snowy night. She wore thin clothes and knelt for a whole night in front of her father who always loved her to the bone. She remembered that her father often said to her: "Yan'er is the most precious thing God bestowed on Daddy." A gift!" But that time, her father was cruel and didn't come out to look at her.

and mother...

"Mother has done the most right thing in her life, which is to marry your father and give birth to your brothers and sisters, especially my Yan'er. You are my mother's caring little padded jacket, and you are all my mother's pride!"

But, why... Seven years of mother-daughter love, so much love, can't overcome the damage caused by love!

She slowly opened her eyes, her bright eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, each trace of sadness.Fortunately, I survived another life-and-death test.

Only then did Yi Yu heave a sigh of relief, crying and laughing, "When you find Elder Sha and get the Poison Sutra, you will be able to cure your Gu poison. From now on...you won't have to endure such pain again."

"Poison Sutra..." Ru Mo smiled weakly, extremely desolate, "Who knows... in that Poison Sutra...is there a way to undo the life-death Gu? Maybe, except for the blood of the person who cast the Gu, there is really no solution... "

"No! Then there must be a way to detoxify it, Rumo, after your detoxification is detoxified, you will live a happy life in the future."

"Happiness?" She laughed more and more bleakly, "Can I... still be happy? People like me are full of resentment and bloody hands!"

"Yes! I will. You are Rumo, the unique Rumo! There is more than one feeling in life. I believe that there will be someone who will love you very much and hold you in the palm of his hand. That person will appear soon , you have to wait for him."

wait for him?But she and him, separated by family feud and ten years of suffering, how can they be happy?

The night outside the window was dark, and it took a long time to light a lamp inside the window.

Yi Yu helped Rumo to sit up, and sighed, "It would be great if Cange was here, and his Lie Yan Gong can help you relieve some pain. But, I didn't expect that this time it would be so long in advance, waiting for him to come back, let him I will stay by your side from now on, and don’t go anywhere.”

Ru Mo shook his head, "He is already busy with the affairs of the secret cabinet. The rebel party has a deep foundation, and it is not easy to get rid of them without showing any traces. Otherwise, the court will not let us take action. Moreover, this time If the matter is accidentally revealed, the imperial court will definitely use the hidden pavilion to attack."

Yi Yu said: "Don't worry, Can Ge is No. 1 in martial arts! He has always been cautious in his work and will not make mistakes. By the way, I heard that bastard Nangong Ye bullied you? Show me where the injury is? This bastard , dare to bully you, if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely get it back for you with interest!"

Ru Mo said lightly: "Small injury, it's no longer a hindrance."

Probably only she can describe the bruised whip wound with such an indifferent attitude as a minor injury!Because for her, even if there is no magical power, the physical injury will be healed one day, but the inner injury has already penetrated into the bone with the precipitation of time.

"Yi Yu, I want to go out for a walk alone."

Yi Yu nodded, watching her figure shrouded in sadness gradually disappear into the dark night, a sour feeling surged in her heart, a little hurt, even if she was as close as her, she couldn't share it with Rumo, just like Rumo couldn't share her Like the deep memory of my mother.

In the quiet night, the cold moon shines, and the Sacred Heart Lake, which is far away from the hustle and bustle of the day, is covered with a layer of cool silver light.

Rumo stood under the green willow tree, the wind brought the unique freshness of the night to her slightly pale face through the veil on her face, and she looked at the indistinct habitat in the middle of the lake from afar. Xinting, there, used to be her favorite place. In the morning, evening, and moonlit night, it was always the cleanest time here. She brought her handsome and handsome brother like a banished fairy here to listen to the flute on a raft. , playing the piano and singing, listening to my brother telling anecdotes...

At that time, she was so happy and happy, that is, because she was so happy, the moment when her happiness was shattered, she was extremely painful and unbearable.

The wind passed by her ears, softly like an elegy, inadvertently stirring the softest part of her heart, she slowly closed her eyes, this capital city is full of shadows of memories.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a flute not far away, with a melodious tune, but in such a quiet night, she could hear a desolate and sad taste, which strangely fit her mood at the moment.She opened her eyes, followed the sound of the flute involuntarily, and saw a man in white.

He has a handsome figure, black hair and drooping shoulders, standing by the lake, as if paying tribute to an old friend.

It's him!

In such a night, such a place can be met unexpectedly.

Ru Mo paused, his flute sound was melodious and sweet in his memory, full of ambition, but now, the melodious sound is still there, but he can no longer hear hope, only loneliness and vicissitudes remain.

"It seems that I am not the only one who likes this night."

Before the end of the song, the man in front of him had already stopped, turned around and looked at her, with a hint of displeasure after being disturbed.But when he saw the woman behind him clearly, the trace of displeasure suddenly dissipated miraculously.She was dressed in white with a light gauze covering her face, just like when she was playing the piano in the Qixin Pavilion that day.

"Miss Rumo?" the man asked, but his tone was very sure.

When the word "Ru Mo" came out of his mouth, Ru Mo only felt sore in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Young Master Yi Xiao has a good memory!"

Leng Yixiao smiled faintly, turned around, still facing the center of the lake, and made no further sound.

Rumo approached the lake slowly and stood beside him. There was a cold moon in the lake, reflecting the two figures, leaning slightly in the wind.

"Young Master Yixiao, why are you here late at night?" Ru Mo looked towards the center of the lake and asked him slowly.

Leng Yixiao didn't answer, just glanced over and asked the same question: "Why is the girl here late at night?"

Rumo stopped talking, looking down at the lake reflected by the silver light of the cold moon, the reflection of a man and a woman in white clothes standing side by side in the lake slowly overlapped with the long-standing memory, but the feeling, never again former joy.

"Can you play a song for me?" After a long time, she spoke again, her cold voice stained with the sadness of the silence of the night. "Sad, happy, melodious...anything is fine!"

Leng Yixiao originally wanted to refuse, except for one person, he has no habit of playing for others, but the look in her eyes was so sincere, just like the one who grabbed his sleeve and said to him many years ago, "Brother, Play one more song, I still want to listen to" the child.

Nodding silently, he held up the jasper flute, put it to his lips, and played it slowly.The tune is melodious, making people feel like they are facing a mountain stream or drinking a mountain spring. A cool taste slowly penetrated into her heart, wrapping her limbs and bones with a touch of sadness. She closed her eyes gently, listening to the very familiar tune in her memory, her heart There are ups and downs in an instant, full of flavors.

At the end of the song, she still closed her eyes tightly.

Leng Yixiao looked back at her, in the moonlight, her veil was floating, her eyes were closed tightly, seemingly calm and peaceful, but her brows were slightly frowned, full of sadness.His heart moved slightly, this woman understood the desolation in his flute sound.

"It's such a dark night, it's a pity that there is no bamboo raft." After a long time, Ru Mo opened his eyes and said with regret.

Leng Yixiao looked at her again, "Come with me!"

He took the lead to walk in front, Rumo was slightly stunned, and immediately followed, following his footsteps, followed unhurriedly, the distance between the two was not far, and they always kept between those few steps.

After a stick of incense, the two came to a small wooden pavilion with a sloping roof. The wooden pavilion was connected with a wooden corridor, extending all the way to the lake.The bamboo raft is docked by the promenade, on the surface of Nuoda lake, there is only one, lonely.

Leng Yixiao stepped directly on it, and then gracefully stretched out her hand towards her, but Rumo stopped on the shore, staring blankly, with a complicated look on her face.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Leng Yixiao didn't rush her, just stood there quietly waiting for her, until she finally put her hand into his warm palm and stepped on it with his strength, then he propped the bamboo raft away from the shore After a certain distance, he let go and let the bamboo raft drift with the wind.

Sure enough, he has a cool temperament, chic and casual.

Rumo stood at the head of the raft, looked at his calm face, and asked softly, "Do you often come here at night?"

"Not often." His tone was flat, without any ups and downs, but his eyes gradually dimmed.

Rumo also lowered her gaze, sat down on the bow of the raft, put her slender fingers into the water and swiped gently a few times, ripples appeared on the calm lake, and the cold temperature made her feel very happy.She raised her head, looked at him, and smiled slowly: "Yixiao...go and stay as you like, and be chic."

Leng Yixiao's eyes froze for a moment, and suddenly he became in a trance, going and staying at will, unrestrained and unrestrained...

"Brother has a temperament like a fairy, he can go and stay freely, he is unrestrained and unrestrained, he should not be called Leng Yunxiao, he should be renamed Leng Yixiao!"

"The name was given by my father, there is no reason to change it at will!"

"Why not? I'll go and tell daddy, daddy has always loved me, and he will definitely agree. Okay, brother?"

"Okay, okay... Yan'er can say anything..."

A deep sadness flashed across his eyes. For some reason, facing this unfamiliar woman in front of him, those past events that had been settled in his heart for a long time always surfaced inadvertently, and they were so clear.

Leng Yixiao lowered her eyes to look at her, and asked, "It's like ink like ink, but like ink gives off fragrance?"

"No!" Ru Mo shook his head, and cast his eyes into the distance, "It's goodbye Ru Molu!"

Leng Yixiao was slightly stunned, it turned out that it was not Rumo, but Rumo.Goodbye Ru Lu is suitable for a cold and lonely woman like her.It's just that for some unknown reason, a pain suddenly flashed across his heart, subtle and quick, hardly noticeable.

"Is there any wine?" she asked suddenly.

Leng Yixiao was surprised, "Do you want to drink?"

Ru Mo said with a wry smile, "I want to, but it's not just what I think is enough to live a lifetime."

Leng Yixiao's eyes moved, "If you just want to drink, what's the problem? You wait a moment, I'll come when I go." After finishing speaking, before she could react, he jumped up and flew straight to the opposite bank.Not a moment later, he came back with two jars of wine in his hands, and they landed in front of her. With a relaxed look, he handed one of the jars to her.

"I usually drink wine, and I always drink to the altar, so... I don't have a wine glass."

Ru Mo was startled, "Do you often come here to drink?"

Leng Yi paused, and then sat down opposite her. The two people were still so indifferent: "Not often."

Her eyes dimmed, she directly opened a jar of wine, took off her veil casually, threw it aside, took the jar of wine with both hands and poured the wine down her throat, the feeling was still pungent and strong, the same as the night when she first entered Prince Chen's mansion.She didn't know much about wine, but she heard that wine could intoxicate people, but it couldn't intoxicate her.Alcohol only makes her vulnerable, so she rarely drinks, especially in front of outsiders.

Leng Yixiao stared at her face after taking off the veil, and was taken aback for a moment, "So...it's you! Unexpectedly, the famous Qin Xian Rumo in the capital city is actually the mysterious princess that King Chen married suddenly a few days ago. King Chen is still in the dark! You... take off your veil so easily in front of me, don't you worry that I will tell King Chen about this?" In his opinion, he and she haven't gotten to know each other well enough to protect each other The point of secret!

Ru Mo put down the wine jar, fixed a glance at him, and said with a bitter smile: "If even you can't believe it, there will be no one in this world who can be trusted!"

Leng Yixiao was shocked, and suddenly felt something heavy on his heart. She picked up the wine jar and poured the wine down her throat again. After half an hour, one jar of wine was empty, and she stretched her hand to the other. The altar of wine was held by Leng Yixiao.

"That's enough for today, I'll drink with you next time." His voice was soft, like a gust of wind was suddenly filled with emotion, different from the previous indifference.

Rumo stops, next time... when is the next time?She doesn't know how long she can live!He got up, stood on the edge of the bamboo raft, looked up at the sky, and laughed silently.Ten years have been like a dream, and she has gone through all kinds of life and death hardships in the blink of an eye. During these ten years, she never thought that one day she would drink wine with him to enjoy the moon in this Sacred Heart Lake, continuing her childhood dream.

Leng Yixiao looked at her from the side, watching her expression change from sad to relieved, he didn't speak.Intuition that this woman is a person with a story, but anyone with a story must have scars in their hearts, no matter how deep or shallow, they will all be dripping with blood after uncovering.And he never likes to expose people's scars, so he is very quiet, quietly accompanying this woman who is not familiar to him but gives him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and accompanied her in this cold lake for a whole night .
