carved heart

Chapter 52: The Return of Lord Hou (5)
"When I was 12 years old, I almost died. It was the current Holy Majesty who saved me. At that time, the Holy Majesty had a high fever for two days and could hardly survive it. Fortunately, I escaped. It was also because of that year that I left a permanent wound on my arm. Scars..."

Ah Yin listened quietly, although he didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned the emperor, but he could hear the deep affection between him and the emperor.

"...The holy one has family background, I don't." It was the first time he said so many words in front of a girl, the weapons were intertwined, the iron knives and long swords collided, and there was warmth on the tree.

"I am the knife in the Holy Master's hand, eradicating political enemies, calming turmoil, and protecting the beautiful mountains and rivers of Daxing. Now apart from the mountains and rivers, what I want to protect is you."

The fatigue after brute force finally swept over with an irresistible force.

She closed her eyes gradually.

Ah Yin was woken up by shaking.

When she opened her eyes, it was already dark, and what caught her eyes was Shangguan Shixin's anxious expression.She couldn't help being stunned, and it took a long time for the previous memories to flood into her mind.She looked around subconsciously, and there were about ten people standing around, Jiang Man was at the front, and all the attendants and guards of Shangguan's family were behind.

"Awake? Where is the injury?"

Ah Yin fell asleep, and gradually regained his lost strength, his eyelashes trembled, and asked, "What time is it? Where's Douhe?"

Shangguan Shixin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said: "Don't worry, something happened today, Ahe was also injured, and the fighting core was delayed." As he spoke, he looked Ayin up and down again, and saw that his palm was slightly exposed Honghen said again: "Can you get up?"

Ah Yin got up and said: "I'm fine, just a little bruised, it's okay, I'll just apply some ointment when I get back."

Shangguanshi said: "It's getting late, and the city has curfew. It happens that this place is close to Puhua Temple. We will rest in Puhua Temple tonight." As if remembering something, he said again: "I have let Miss Jiang Someone went to inform, but didn't say anything about your injury."

Ah Yin was completely relieved, sighed, and said, "Thank you Ziye."

Shangguan Shixin looked at her, and said again: "There are many high-quality wound medicines in Puhua Temple, let's go there first. I asked the monk to borrow the wound medicine, and then I will look for you."

She could hear the difference in Shangguan Shixin's tone, and she said again: "I just woke up a little confused, and I will never say the word 'thank you' in the future."

Shangguan Shixin smiled.

"Only you can hear my emotions."

Seeing this, Jiang Man couldn't help muttering in his heart, it's really rare, I have never seen a girl who knows the emotions of the young master's family like the back of her hand.He has been with Shaodong's family for so many years, but he couldn't tell immediately.No wonder the Shaodong family saw Miss Yin several times and regarded her as a bosom friend.

Ah Yin and Shangguan Shixin entered Puhua Temple.

Already there were monks waiting at the gate of Puhua Temple, leading Ah Yin into the fasting room.Ah Yin poured himself a cup of tea and drank two cups in a row before he calmed down a little.A lot of accidents happened today, it can be said that it was another narrow escape.

But Mu Yanghou didn't forget even a word.

Especially the last sentence——

Now apart from mountains and rivers, what I want to protect is you.

Thinking of this, Ah Yin's cheeks couldn't help getting hotter, and he reached out his hand to touch it, and it was slightly hot.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and then Shangguan Shixin's voice sounded.Knowing that he was here to deliver the medicine, Ah Yin said, "Ziye, please come in." After the door was pushed open, Ah Yin first saw Shangguan Shixin's slightly grave expression.

She thumped in her heart, faintly having a bad premonition.

Shangguan Shixin put down a small porcelain bottle and a food box.

"I thought you were hungry too, so I asked the young monk in the temple for vegetarian food. It has just been warmed up, so eat it while it's hot."

Ah Yin opened the food box, there was a plate of vegetarian dishes and a bowl of rice inside, and there was still steam coming out.She looked at the sky outside, knowing that the stove had already been turned off at this time, and it was really not easy to get a vegetarian dish, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.

After Ah Yin ate the vegetarian food, he sighed softly and said, "I'm not good today, I shouldn't act separately from you, otherwise I won't make you suffer."

When Ah Yin heard this, he quickly said: "It has nothing to do with Ziye, Ziye should not blame himself."

"Being related to him, will you be happy with it?"

This remark was so sudden that Ah Yin was stunned.

Before Ah Yin could react, he said again: "It's Ziye who is being abrupt, don't take it to heart. It's getting late, you should rest earlier. You will take the carriage back home tomorrow morning."

It was only at this moment that Ah Yin realized who the "he" Shangguan Shixin was referring to, his face changed, and when he was about to say something, Shangguan Shixin had already got up, and Ah Yin was not allowed to say anything at all. , and hurriedly left the fasting room.

When Ah Yin saw Shangguan Shixin the next day, Ah Yin had no chance to speak with Shangguan Shixin, so Jiang Man came to pick her up.When she was sitting in the carriage, she didn't see Shangguan Shixin either.

After asking Jiang Man, he learned that Shangguan Shixin left Puhua Temple just after dawn.

As for what to do, Jiang Man didn't know.

As soon as Ah Yin went back, as soon as she sat down, Jiang Xuan looked at her carefully.Seeing her safe and sound, Fang Che breathed a sigh of relief.As soon as he relaxed, his eye sockets turned red.

She said: "Sister, we must have had some bad luck, even if we go to Lantau Island, we will be in danger. When the fifteenth day comes, I will go to Lantau Island to burn incense sticks, and ask the Buddha to protect my sister from such bad luck."

Ah Yin only said: "During this time, sister must not go out."

Jiang Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then remembered what happened before, turned pale, and asked, "Could it be..."

Ah Yin touched her head and said: "I only know that it is Lord Hou's enemy, but who doesn't know. But don't be afraid, Shangguan's family still dare not break in. After this incident, I think they are Don’t dare to act rashly.”

Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Jiang Xuan said again: "It must be Miss Lin from the opposite door. My sister didn't come back last night, and Miss Lin also came to ask." She rubbed her nose, a little puzzled, and asked, "It's really strange. In the past, Miss Lin treated us very well. I don't care about it, why did you seem to have changed your temper in the past two days? What did my sister say to Miss Lin in Lantau Island?"

Ah Yin knew that Jiang Xuan was only hearing about Lantau Island, so he said, "Sit down, I'll open the door."

In the final analysis, this time, I was the one who got Lin He involved.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin He standing at the door.

She turned sideways and said, "Sister, please come in."

Lin He said with a straight face: "I won't go in." As he spoke, he looked at her indifferently, and after seeing that she had nothing to do, he said firmly: "I just came to tell you that Douhe will be changed to three days later."

Ah Yin said "Thank you" and asked again: "Did senior sister get hurt yesterday?"

Lin He said: "I am very forgetful, many things go in one ear and out the other."

Ah Yin understood what she meant, so she couldn't help but frowned, and said, "Thank you." When Ah Yin returned to the room, Jiang Xuan poked her head out, and said, "What's wrong with Miss Lin?" Ah Yin then smiled and talked to Jiang. Xuan said, and Jiang Xuan laughed after hearing the words, and said: "Miss Lin is cold-tempered, but she is also warm-hearted. She is much better than that smiling tiger Lu Lan."

Hearing that she called Lu Lan that way, Ah Yin suddenly felt that it was appropriate, and said, "You should stay away from the smiling tiger in the future."

"I know the measure."

Three days later, Ah Yin finally saw Shangguan Shixin in the main hall of Nuclear Science, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance to talk.He was in charge of the fight nuclear matter this time, almost as soon as he entered the main hall, he was so busy that he never touched the ground.

With the lessons learned from the past, the location of the Douhe this time is still set on Lantau Island, and the stone ladder is still used to climb to the top of the mountain.

The only difference is that the defense has become stricter. In addition to the five nuclear carving technicians, there are more than 20 guards in front and back, all equipped with long knives.Ah Yin looked at it, and then remembered Shen Changtang letting his own people pretend to be Shangguan's nursing home, and couldn't help feeling that Mu Yanghou had great powers, not to mention the configuration of the sword, even the appearance was half or half the same, he really thought it through comprehensively.

"Before I was taken advantage of by someone who didn't know where, the young master blamed himself very much. This time he took over the whole thing. These days, he has been busy with today's fighting nuclear matters. After the master found out, he was very pleased. He saw everyone smiling these days Yes, it’s rare for our young master to take the initiative to help. Normally, if the master doesn’t speak up, the young master doesn’t care who fights.” Yuan Bei looked around, saw Lin He was at the end, and then lowered his voice: “It’s still my younger sister who has a lot of face. ! Now the entire Lantau Island can’t even crawl out of a killer, let alone a snake.”

Only then did Ah Yin realize that Shangguan Shixin hadn't been seen for the past few days, so he was busy with other things.

She said: "Today's nuclear carving technicians are all candidates for nuclear science. The Shangguan family has always cherished talents. With talents like senior brothers and sisters, the young master's family must be careful. It can't be all my credit. Senior brother, don't underestimate yourself." .”

Yuan Bei wanted to tease Ah Yin a few words, but unexpectedly, she complimented him a bit, but she still said that he was refreshed, but he was embarrassed to tease him again, and walked two steps slower.

But she said that Lin He was not physically strong, so she kept walking to the end, but this time she was not in a hurry, and observed the scenery of Lantau Island while walking.Her father is Mr. Lin, although Dou He did not participate in the question this time, but yesterday he mysteriously told her to pay attention to Lantau Island.

Lin He knew that her father must know something, so today she paid special attention to the flowers and plants on Lantau Island.

It's just that looking along the way, it's boring to see too many fresh scenery, and there are many mosquitoes in summer, and there are flying mosquitoes in front of her after walking a few steps, which disturbs her. The first one is Ah Yin.

She seems to be particularly fond of wearing jackets and skirts, the color is plain, but not too monotonous, and her hair is also tied up very casually, with only one hairpin containing beads.Hairpins are not good hairpins. Lin He, with his sharp eyes, knew at a glance that they were bought from a stall, and the price would never exceed twenty cents. Maybe he could bargain with the stall owner for ten cents.But such an ordinary hairpin, inserted in her hair bun, has a unique charm, as if that hairpin has also become beautiful and delicate because of her hair bun, just like her nuclear carving. I don't know what she wants to carve, but in the end, she can amaze everyone.

She wore a pair of flat cloth shoes, walked steadily, and would stop after a few steps, wondering what she was looking at.She looked very carefully and earnestly. Even if she was far away, her eyes seemed to be shining, and the bright sunlight could not be blocked.But when she walked to her original place, she also followed her previous line of sight, but only saw ordinary rocks and bushes.

Lin He seemed to be fighting Ah Yin.

All the way up Lantau Island, where Ah Yin stopped, she must also stop, stop and watch.In this way, she didn't feel that the long stone ladder was too short. She was the last one before, and gradually surpassed Lu Lan, who was second to last, and then Lan Zheng. When she reached the top of Lantau Island, she was only a short distance away from Ah Yin. six paces away.

She was out of breath.

Ah Yin turned her head, smiled at her, and said, "Senior sister is full of energy today, which is a good sign."

Seeing that she was not out of breath, Lin He remembered that he hadn't seen anything along the way, completely forgot about his father's instructions, and instantly wanted to slap himself.

What are you competing for?

They didn't find out at all!
The scenery on the top of the mountain is infinitely good, even though it is noon, it doesn't feel hot at all.When the breeze came, Ah Yin felt that the heat from his whole body was blown away, and there was a feeling of coolness in his heart.

She took a step forward and took a few steps forward.

On the top of the mountain, people surrounded the stone railings, and there are all kinds of lions carved on the railings, each with its own charm.But Ah Yin didn't pay attention to the lion at all. She was facing the breeze, leaning against the railing, overlooking the scenery below Lantau Island.

On the side she was standing on, there were no houses, only the stretching greenery, and the faintly visible official road hidden under the greenery, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

"Sister-in-law."

Suddenly, Yuan Bei called her.

She looked back and saw a person appearing out of nowhere from the pavilion on the top of the mountain. He looked about forty to fifty years old, wearing a gray robe, and there was a refreshing warmth between his brows.

Ah Yin was startled, only felt that this person was three to four points similar to Zi Ye, not in appearance, but in the expression between his brows, which was quite similar.

Sure enough, Yuan Bei whispered next to her: "That's our mysterious boss."

The boss of the Shangguan family.

Shangguan Ren.
