Chapter 135 - The farthest, the coldest and the most injured
Chapter 135 The farthest, the coldest and the most injured
“Sister Qingyi,” Xiaoyou said in a merry mood behind her, “I found a pot full of liquor you want.”
He Danggui pulled out all the silver needles and took back the needle sleeve with her trembling hands. She bitted the posterior alveolar socket and spat out a word from her teeth, “I don’t need it anymore. Take it away.” These silver needles were taken back in a hurry, and they were not placed in order. Therefore, several protruding needle tips were all stabbed on her fingers, and a lot of bright drops of blood oozed out, which blotted on the black velvet needle sleeve. The nerves of the fingertips were linked with the heart. However, she didn’t feel pain but shivered with cold.
“Sister, are you all right?” Xiaoyou also felt something was not in harmony.
Ning Yuan lying on the ground was even more amazed. They had a pleasant chat just now. Did he say something wrong? Why did she get angry in a flash? However, in their previous conversation, he had said more and more excessive words. She didn’t change her face, nor was she angry at being offended at all. She only dealt with him in a smart way, which was one of the reasons why he became more and more interested in her... What happened? Didn’t she want to meet Song You? He just followed her thinking. Why did she suddenly become like this?
“Girl?” Ning Yuan asked tentatively in a low voice. “Are you angry? Are you angry with me?”
He Danggui was trembling at moment, and she couldn’t say a complete sentence at all. She didn’t want to look at that man any more. She just gathered her needles silently and pulled Xiaoyou standing beside her. Then she left the dark garden as fast as she could. She just wanted to stay as far away as possible.
Although Ning Yuan was badly injured, he was unlikely to lie on the ground and couldn’t stand up. He could have chased her to make it clear, but he couldn’t guess the reason of the contrast in her mind, so he didn’t stand up. He looked at the back of the thin figure moving away and thought about their conversation again and again. When did she start to be offish with him?
Before that, she was kind enough to feel his pulse and asked him to take some remedial medicine for maladjustment. Later, he was curious about her medical skill and tea ceremony. But the expression in her eyes seemed to be a little strange, especially when she heard that Song You lived in his home. Did she have a feud with Song You?
Maybe it was because of his delusion. In his opinion, the expression of her was not so much anger as hate. He wanted to know what kind of person and what kind of thing could make her hate that the whole body was trembled unconsciously. He had seen all people of Luo’s Family. Some people beat her and scolded her openly, some pushed her down a rockery, some bullied her and humiliated her, and some used a poisonous powder on her. In the face of such a group of people, he had never seen her hate like this. In fact, her expression at that time was extremely offish to others... He couldn’t understand it.
He Danggui dragged Xiaoyou to Tao Yao Yard. As she walked with her head down, she laughed ironically. She thought she was superior in stratagem since she regenerated. But she didn’t find any clue after many days with the man who with “the beast within.” She was really the stupidest fool in the world!
Who would wear ambergris sachets every day? Who would even put a piece of ambergris beside the pillow? Who would have such an exquisite disguise skill? And who would be able to ask Bai Yangbai to make the skin mask for fake Feng Yang? Among the princes and grandsons of the Emperor, who would like to live with a mask and a fake voice all day long? Only him! Only Zhu Quan, who was devoted to become the Emperor!
It was so terrible. She didn’t expect that Zhu Quan was excellent in kung fu. Now, he was only 15 years old, but his arts of lightness could match Gao Jue. He could fight with Duan Xiaolou with an internal injury and stabbed Duan Xiaolou’s hand. It could be imagined how outstanding Zhu Quan’s kung fu were after 5, 10 and 15 years!
But in her previous life, she followed him for 14 years. She did all kinds of secret affairs and plotted all kinds of stratagems for him, so that he could compete with Emperor Hui and Lord Yan and finally retreat to be a leisure Lord. When she was 22 years old, she had a miscarriage to save his life. She lost a pair of 4-month-old pigeon pair in her womb. At the age of 28, she gave birth to his daughter Zhu Yutian. She always thought that she was the most trusted and loved one of Zhu Quan. However, she did not know that he had such a strong kung fu until the day she died!
Although Zhu Quan in the previous life often went to the Military Drill Ground and Wuying Tower, and he also went to the battlefield to kill the enemies, fought in the arena and lived in Jianghu, his kung fu in front of all people, including her, were not as good as the 30 percent capability of the 15-year-old “Ning Yuan”, and he often took a group of guards to protect his safety when he went in and out. Now it seemed that all these were his strategies of keeping his low profile!
He Danggui shivered again and couldn’t help holding Xiaoyou’s arms to keep warm.
If Zhu Quan was excellent in kung Fu like this, at the age of 22, she would not have to block the assassin’s sword for him when she was heavy with children! In order to keep a low profile and didn’t want people to know his kung fu, he did not prevent her from coming to block the sword, but watched the blade went into her abdomen! She recalled that her two children with human shape slipped out of her body and were finally put into a pair of small fragrant wooden coffins. She recalled Zhu Quan’s eyes flickered with a little guilty expression at that time. He Danggui was so angry that she trembled all over. She wanted to shout loudly for her two unborn children.
Xiaoyou patted her shoulder nervously and asked, “Sister, are you sick? I’ll take you to Medicine Room to buy some medicine. I’m quite familiar with there.”
He Danggui suddenly burst into tears. She looked up at this silly young man. In the previous life, he died because of her and was insulted after his death. The culprits were Zhu Quan… and selfish her... If she hadn’t been obsessed with Zhu Quan and dead set on following him at that time, she would not have sacrificed Xiaoyou to help Zhu Quan, not have discarded Xiaoyou’s corpse to help Zhu Quan keep secrets, and not have allowed the villain whipped Xiaoyou’s corpse for a few days.
How pathetic three of her children were! How pathetic Xiaoyou was! How pathetic she was!
He Danggui could no longer bear the great grief in her heart. She hugged Xiaoyou and started to cry. Her love began with hope and ended with despair. After giving up love, there was no longer any expectation she had for that person.
It was the furthest distance, the coldest autumn night, and the most painful memory. Zhu Quan betrayed her too much! She lost too much for Zhu Quan! Even if she could come back again, how could she face the three bloody children who often appeared in her dream? How could she face the silly brother who was owed a lot by herself? And how could she heal her broken heart?
Zhu Quan owed her all of these, and she would let him return all of these. She wanted him to pay for his blood and life!
He Danggui suddenly stopped crying. She raised her head and stared at Xiaoyou’s wet chest. Her eyes were misty with tears. Zhu Quan was seriously injured and unprepared. Now was the best time to kill him. If she missed this time, she would never get revenge!
※※※
All over the sky flied snow. Snowflakes spread like salt in the air. Between the earth and the sky, it was silvery white. A goshawk suddenly shook off the floating snow on its body, flying to the sky and leaving only a vague shadow in a flash.
Here was Changbai Mount, where the snow and the silence remained all the year round. However, no one could imagine that in this snowy world, there were actually 5 petite girls climbing on crutches. They were stop-and-go with difficulty. If there were other people, they would feel nervous for these girls.
Four girls had their hair in buns with maids’ style, while the girl walking in the front had a very strange hair style. Her long hair was very simple and tied into a long ponytail at the back of her head. She walked with the ponytail shaking. It often touched the girl walked behind her with a bun. The girl with the ponytail looked up at the sky, clapped her hands and said to the four maids in the back, “Hurry up. Don’t dawdle. Come on! Everyone all run, and when we get to the mountain, I’ll treat you to a dish of stewed pork feet in brown sauce!”
“Miss, you are a liar,” said Jinjia. She curled her lips and said, “The stewed pork feet in brown sauce can only be found in the restaurant of Donggua Town under the mountain. There is not any dish of stewed pork feet in brown sauce on the top of the mountain!”
Yinyi said wearily, “Miss, don’t say run. We can’t even walk now. Please let us have a rest, otherwise, we will die!”
Manbing quickly waved her hands and said, “Yinyi, don’t talk nonsense. It’s not a place to rest. Here is cold and wet. There are tigers, leopards, jackals, poisonous insects and poisonous snakes all over the mountain!”
Neiding exclaimed suddenly, “Oh, there have poisonous snakes!” She pointed the place not far away.
The other 4 people all looked around and saw a gorgeous snake stood there. It opened its mouth and spitted out the tongue as if it were laughing for the delicious food that was deliver to its home. To be sure, it did have the capital to challenge these girls. It had not only the sharp fangs in its mouth, but also had half a person’s height when it stood up. Besides, the thickest part of the middle part of the snake’s body was superior to the human arm.
“Don’t move!” Miss with the ponytail said calmly, “When you see a snake, you can’t move around, because moving around will only let the snake senses the position of its prey. In fact, the snake’s eyesight is not good, and it is more sensitive to moving targets, like frogs!” As a result, 4 maids were immobile as if they were suddenly poked the acupoint.
Yinyi worried about Miss and said, “Miss, when you speak, will it find you?” As soon as the voice done, the snake approached them a few zhang, swinging its flat head up and down and spitting out a long and thin tongue.
“Are you stupid?” Miss with ponytail said angrily, “I told you not to move. You can’t move your lips when you talk – you see, just like me.” 4 maids squinted to see her. As expected, when the Miss was talking, it was just that the parts in her mouth were moving, making as clear a voice as possible through various twists and turns of her tongue. While her lips were only slightly moving. So, the 4 maids suddenly made a voice of “Oh!”
When Miss with the ponytail was satisfied, she showed a stiff and bright smile on her face. Then she continued to popularize the knowledge about snakes, “Snakes are more sensitive to red than other colors. So, just now Yinyi’s lips moved, and the snake was attracted. Look at the color of the snake’s skin. It is a poisonous snake. If you were bitten by such a snake, you will die unless you immediately inject the serum containing the corresponding antibody.” The maids were very convinced after listening. Miss was really knowledgeable. When she spoke, it made people felt unfathomable. The words “sensitivity coefficient, percentage, antibody and serum” couldn’t be understood at all, which made them be worshipful!
Manbing learned the same way as Miss and said, “Shall we keep standing like this? It’s going to be dark soon, Miss.”
“Don’t worry,” Miss said confidently, “I have prepared!” Then, she smashed the crutch in her hand on the hard ice. A layer of wood outside was smashed and peeled off, and an umbrella came out inside. She quickly spread out the umbrella and shook it into a bowl-shape. Then, she slowly approached the poisonous snake. At the same time, she laughed loudly with victory, “Ha-ha, do you think I would go to Changbai Mount without any preparation?”
You deserved to be Miss! 4 maids cheered in unison and ran to the back of Miss to take refuge. Miss held the “Overturning umbrella” in her hands, approaching the poisonous snake slowly. Her umbrella was made of a special cloth, which was as tough as a rain cloth. As long as the snake was firmly under the umbrella, and everyone stepped on it together, the snake would be killed definitely!
However, the wish was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. Although the umbrella cloth might be really tough, the umbrella tip was not strong enough. A wind blew, the first half of the umbrella was taken away, leaving only a smooth handle for Miss. 5 people stared at it for a while. When they accepted the reality that the umbrella disappeared, the real big poisonous snake was only 3 steps away from them!
Jinjia looked at Miss with tears. She said, “Miss lied again. This time we will die!”
Yinyi asked, “Miss, can we move our lips this time? It can see us all the time!”
Manbing recalled her life and said, “When I was 3 years old, I lost my father. Then I lost my mother at the age of 4. When I was 5 years old, I became a maid in Liao’s Family. Now I have saved a huge sum of 6 liang silvers in the past 10 years. I didn’t spend the money and didn’t marry. I’m unreconciled!”
“Oh, poisonous snake!” Neiding cried.
The snake spitted out a long and red tongue, showing the winner’s smile. The upper body looked forward, and the fangs aimed at Manbing who had just finished her last words.
But the next moment, with a dull sound, its long and thin snake tail straightened. The whole snake flied into the sky in a gorgeous posture, and then disappeared into the vision of 5 people. What was it? Did the poisonous snake dance before eating? The Miss opened her eyes incredulously and exclaimed, “It’s so powerful. It turns out that snakes can also fly. They’ve never played in the Animal World!” 5 people looked at each other, which was very slow to find that just then, for some reason, 5 of them picked up their lives from the poisonous snake!
Four maids cried and cheered, “We are saved! It was immortals who took the poisonous snake away! Oh!”
The big snake writhed and drew a long arc in the air. Finally, it fell behind a dead old poplar tree. After a sound of bone disjointed, suddenly, a man in black came out from behind the tree. He carrying the snake that became soft as a cloth shouted coldly, “Shut up, all of you.”
The maids shut up in response. The man in black raised his eyes and scanned them. He asked viciously, “Who is Liao Qing’er?”
