(God's perspective)
Linglong followed Ji Mingcheng to his home.
It has been three years since the old man who adopted Ji Mingcheng passed away. During this period, Ji Mingcheng has been taking care of this hut alone.
The old man had no heirs, so all his property after his death was given to Ji Mingcheng.
The most valuable things in the house are the calligraphy and paintings collected by the old man during his lifetime.
Linglong was attracted by a painting as soon as she entered Ji Mingcheng's house. She looked up at the painting hanging on the wall.
The painting shows a barefoot woman in red dancing with white flowers in her hands.
The woman's appearance made Linglong feel very friendly.
Ji Mingcheng noticed that Linglong had been staring at the painting on the wall, "Is this painting that beautiful?"
"I have seen those white flowers held by the woman in the painting."
Linglong recalled some bad things.
"Have you seen it?" Ji Mingcheng was curious. He had heard the old man say before that the white flowers in the paintings here were extinct.
"Um...well...this flower is called jade flower, and it is the national flower of my country."
"Yu Zhuohua? This name is very nice, and it suits her very well. Just like your name is Linglong, this name also suits you very well."
Yin Mingcheng praised him from the bottom of his heart.
Linglong couldn't help but blush after hearing this. This was the first time in her life that someone praised her.
"Why did those people come to arrest you? Do you have what they want in your hand?" Yan Mingcheng couldn't understand why a group of strong men came out to arrest a thin woman. Is it related to her country?
This question from Yan Mingcheng made Linglong, who was shyly curling her hair because of being praised, lose her joy.
"For the secret treasure..." Linglong stopped curling her hair and looked at Anmingcheng with some worry, "Can I really trust you?"
"Here... we have just met not long ago. I don't expect you to trust me quickly, but I hope you can trust me. You seem to have something to hide, so I won't ask..."
A little embarrassed, Ji Mingcheng motioned for Linglong to sit down, "You will stay here for the next few days, and I will sleep in the side room..."
"etc!"
Linglong grabbed Ji Mingcheng who was about to go out, "I... trust you, please listen to me, okay?"
The bad name Chengye listened to Linglong's detailed explanation of his origins.
“From the time I can remember, I have been living in a peaceful place with my mother.
My mother planted jade flowers everywhere outside the house. She told me that jade flowers are the national flower of our country, and my mother and I are the only ones in our country.
My mother has always told me when I was a child that our country is very rich, and green-grey hair is a symbol of the royal family of our country.
The purpose of our birth is to protect the secret treasures of our country and prevent them from falling into the hands of outsiders.
My mother and I lived an ordinary life like that.
But until one day. There are rumors that as long as you find a woman with green hair, you can become the supreme person and possess the largest amount of treasure in the entire continent.
Although my mother and I lived a careful life, our whereabouts were still exposed.
The group of people who wanted to get the secret treasure lit up the entire jade flower.
My mother stayed in the middle of the sea of fire for me..."
Linglong's nose felt sore as she spoke, recalling the situation at that time.
Linglong’s mother told Linglong, “Leave quickly and don’t let them find out.”
"But mother, let's go together! We can obviously..."
"Linglong! We must have one...that's all...open your hand."
The exquisite mother held up the exquisite little face and touched it reluctantly.
Linglong, who was ten years old at the time, had no choice but to open her hands according to her mother's words.
Linglong's mother took off the blue earrings from her ears, and then she put the earrings in Linglong's hands.
"Take it and leave quickly! Leave before the fire is too big!"
"No, mother... I don't want to leave my mother..." Linglong cried.
Her mother hugged her and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother will be fine. They won't hurt me because I'm still valuable. But Linglong, please believe me. As long as I escape, I'll go." Looking for you! So stop crying!"
Linglong's mother wiped away Linglong's tears with her hands, "You have to be strong, because you are the princess of Gu Ao. Hurry! Linglong! Leave quickly!"
Linglong ran out of the house reluctantly, and she kept running.
Before she ran out of the sea of fire, she wanted to turn back more than once, but she still ran out of the sea of fire with patience.
"... After that, my mother never appeared in front of me again. Occasionally, I listened to their discussion while avoiding them. My mother never told the whereabouts of the secret treasure no matter how tortured she was. She wanted to Let me run away even further without even announcing my existence. Finally, my mother took the opportunity and took her own life.
I had been hiding in the mountains since I left my mother. I met a woman in purple clothes there. She settled down for me and disappeared.
I have lived in the mountains for five years. There is no shortage of food and clothes there. I think the woman in purple clothes should have sent them.
Suddenly one day an injured woodcutter fell in the woods. I kindly rescued him, but then..."
Linglong still remembers the appearance of the woodcutter deeply. The man was not particularly strong. He was said to be a woodcutter, but he did not look like a woodcutter.
The woodcutter was only two or three years older than Linglong, and he had no beard on his face.
"Wow!! You monster!!"
This sentence chilled Linglong, who had never been in contact with other people.
Linglong originally wanted to bring water to the woodcutter, but the woodcutter pushed her away and spilled the water.
The woodcutter ran away in panic.
Linglong looked at the woodcutter's back in a panic and thought about the woodcutter's frightened expression. She suddenly burst into tears.
Are you a monster...?
Linglong touched her hair. This hair was clearly left to her by her mother, so how could she be a monster?
Unexpectedly, when the woodcutter came down the mountain and said this to the people around him, some thought he was joking and kept laughing at him.
Naturally, the woodcutter didn't want to be laughed at, so he swore loudly that he had seen the green-haired woman.
The woodcutter's words happened to be heard by a group of people looking for the secret treasure.
"Where is the green-haired woman you mentioned?" The strong men bribed the woodcutter with a bag of money.
The woodcutter also led the group of strong men to Linglong's residence.
"... I was so frightened when I saw them breaking into the house that I quickly ran to the back mountain. I just kept running away... I ran away for a year, and I also stayed with ordinary people here during the year, but most of the people I’d better tell those guys my whereabouts.”
When Linglong woke up her nose, Ji Mingcheng was so frightened that she thought she was going to cry.
Ji Mingcheng quickly handed over a handkerchief and brought water, "Those people are really hateful. Don't worry, the people in Jiajia Village will not be like them, and of course I will not be like that. Come and have a drink of water!"
Linglong took the tea and felt warm in her heart, "You are the first...the first person to say that my hair looks beautiful..."
"They do look good, I kid you not."
"Thank you."
Linglong smiled at Ji Mingcheng.
Even the smile here touched deeply the heart of An Mingcheng, and admiration arose spontaneously.
