"Snapped"
A crisp slap echoed in the poorly decorated bamboo house. The woman with long messy hair looked pale, and her right hand that had not yet been put down was still trembling slightly. Her originally blue eyes now looked even bluer against the backdrop of her pale face.
Opposite her stood a man in plain clothes. He was tall and his clothes were made of linen commonly used by ordinary people. They could not hide his handsome face, but at this time, there were five clearly visible fingerprints on his face.
The man's face was hit and he turned his head slightly, but he just stuck out his tongue and licked his lips without getting angry.
"I really misjudged you. You actually said such things." Ayouduo looked at the man in front of her who had come to the Central Plains from southern Xinjiang with her. After such a long period of time, she thought they had The kind of friendship and tacit understanding that can't be let go has already been born for a long time, but in the end, it is still a big joke.
"Haha, you misjudged me." Xiao Yunzhi touched the wound on his face lightly with the back of his hand. A dull pain came from the place where his fingertips touched. He turned his head and his eyes met the pair of eyes. Her blue pupils seemed to be sucked into the bottomless sea by her at any time, "Ayouduo, I have to admit, Saintess of Mingyue Sect in Southern Xinjiang, you are a rare beauty in the world. When I My feelings for you are true, and my desire to take you away from southern Xinjiang is also true.
But I underestimated your influence on the Mingyue Sect. I didn’t expect that after so many years, they would never think of letting you go. I've really had enough of hiding. "
As he spoke, Xiao Yunzhi's mood suddenly became intense. He waved his hand and threw the only tea set on the table beside him to the ground. The teapot fell to the ground with a crisp sound and broke into two halves.
"I am a tall and dignified man. I originally wanted to be famous in the world, but now I am not as good as a commoner. They can still walk openly in the blue sky and daylight, but I am like a turtle with a shrunken head."
The sound of the tea set falling to the ground, accompanied by the louder and louder sounds after Xiao Yunzhi's gaffe, finally frightened the little girl hiding in another corner of the room, and she finally started crying in fear.
The little girl who was only three years old was hurriedly held in the arms of another boy who looked slightly older. He held her tightly in his arms, trying to make her voice quieter.
He looked at the two adults arguing in the room with a very indifferent expression. His young face had a profile similar to that of a man, but there was a trace of indifference flowing in his eyes.
The little girl's cry attracted the two quarreling people, and Xiao Yunzhi turned her attention to him.
"By the way, there's this damn thing." He walked forward angrily and wanted to pull the bracelet from the boy's hand.
"Xingchen." Ayouduo screamed and rushed forward, standing between Xiao Yunzhi and Xiao Xingchen, glaring at him angrily, "What do you want to do? He is your child."
"My child, hahahahahaha, my child," Xiao Yunzhi's originally handsome face now looked a little distorted because of his madness, "Ayouduo, although you gave birth to them for me, but you are so important to me." How many true feelings do I have?" He pointed angrily at the bracelet on Xiao Xingchen's hand, "Who gave you that bracelet? Although we have been together these years, you have often been obsessed with it. What on earth are you? Who are you missing through this?"
The excitement in Ayouduo's blue eyes began to fade away at this moment. She looked at the man in front of her with such indifference. It seemed that their relationship over the years had exhausted not only him, but also her. During these years of running away, he gradually became indifferent: "Yunzhi, I never expected that the leader would be so persistent in taking me back. I'm sorry about this."
"That's all, that's all," Xiao Yunzhi put down her hand dejectedly, "It's not important anymore, Ayouduo, in this life, I will be the one who feels sorry for you, I'm sorry."
A thunder cracked through the dark sky at night, and a flash of white light illuminated half of the night sky.
Xiao Yunzhi once again took a deep look at the three people in front of him, then no longer lingered, turned around and rushed out of the door.
Ayouduo watched him turn around without nostalgia, looked at the door that was pushed open, and finally sat on the ground slumped.
A young hand grabbed her clothes from behind.
"Mom, the matter is over, there is no need to linger, you still have me and Xingwan."
The girl in her arms had stopped crying, and her hands were still holding her brother's clothes tightly. The woman who fell on the ground turned around and looked at her children. Those two pairs of eyes looked so much like hers, although at first glance Underneath are the dark eyes that are the same as those of the Central Plains people. If you look closely, the faint blue shows that they are unique blood relatives.
Ayouduo reached out and held the two children in her arms: "Children, don't blame your father, he has done enough."
There seemed to be a strong wind blowing outside the house, and the half-open windows flapped violently against each other.
Ayouduo's hand unconsciously touched the bracelet on Xiao Xingchen's hand. Suddenly she remembered the way Qing Ling gave this bracelet to her. Even though they hadn't seen each other for so many years, his appearance was still in his mind. It's so clear.
Qingling, if you saw what I look like now, would you be very happy that I betrayed you and ended up like this? Or maybe, you would still have the same pity for me as before?
No matter what, I don’t deserve to see you again after all. I once said I would never leave you, but I broke my promise...
The cold wind blew into the house through the gap in the window, blowing out the candles in the house, and the house instantly fell into darkness.
More than a year later, Ayouduo moved his brother and sister to another village. Life was as peaceful as usual, except that there was no father in their lives anymore. Xiao Xingchen always felt that they We will stay together in this remote mountain village like this until we grow old.
But on an ordinary day in the spring of that year, everything changed.
In order to cover up her eyes that are different from ordinary people, Ayouduo rarely goes out. Even if she goes out, she will wear a gauze to cover her appearance. She also told the people in the village that her appearance was accidentally destroyed by the fire before, and she did not want to Scared the people in the village.
Although the people in the village were very surprised by this woman at first, as time went by, the people in the village were not surprised by such a humble and polite family. The warm-hearted villagers saw that they were just orphans and widowed mothers, so they tried their best to Find a way to help.
What's more, two such good-looking children always arouse the pity of adults.
But it all ended that morning.
A group of people carrying swords were rummaging around the village fiercely. The village was full of honest farmers who had never seen such a big battle, and they were all scared and hid.
Only one aunt, who was usually very bold, sneaked and ran to the thatched house where they lived in the innermost part of the village.
"Sister, sister." The aunt lay on the haystack, lowered her voice, and shouted while looking back frequently, for fear that those vicious people would appear behind her at any time.
"It's Aunt Lin's voice." Xiao Xingchen, who was combing her sister's hair in front of the wooden bench by the window, heard the familiar voice and quickly looked at Ayouduo, who was sitting in the back room having breakfast for them, "Mom, she seems I’m very anxious, did something happen?”
Ayouduo hurriedly ran out of the back room. Ever since Xiao Yunzhi left, she was always like a stringed bow, being careful and careful about everything. She whispered to Xiao Xingchen to let her go. He quickly took his sister to the back room, and hurriedly opened a crack in the door, trying to find out what was going on.
When he saw Aunt Lin lying on the haystack, she hurriedly ran out: "Aunt Lin, what happened?"
When Mrs. Lin raised her head and saw her, she was shocked by her appearance: "You..."
Seeing her pointing at her face in surprise, Ayouduo suddenly realized that when she rushed out of the door just now, she had forgotten to take Sali with her.
That's why the pair of blue eyes and the face without any scars really shocked Aunt Lin.
But she is a kind person after all. After reacting, Aunt Lin did not blame Ayouduo for hiding it from them. Instead, she quickly held her hand: "Sister, a lot of people with swords rushed in just now." In the village, people are looking for people from door to door, and they look fierce and tight. No outsiders have come to our village for so many years. After thinking about it, I probably should come to you. You are a kind person, and I really can’t bear it. Hurry up and take your two children away."
Shouts came from not far away, and there seemed to be the sound of sharp weapons colliding with each other.
Mrs. Lin turned back in horror: "They are coming."
Ayouduo helped Aunt Lin up with all her strength and pushed her hard: "Auntie, go quickly, don't let them see that you were the one who tipped off the news." As he spoke, he turned back without hesitation, rushed into the house, and opened the door with his backhand. Locked back.
Seeing Ayouduo rushing back in panic, Xiao Xingchen, who was in the back room, was keenly aware that something was wrong. He protected Xiao Xingwan behind him: "Mom, what happened?"
Ayouduo did not hesitate, walked quickly to the stove in the house, pulled away some dead grass piled there, and opened a wooden lid with force.
A dark cellar appeared in front of me.
She turned around and pulled Xiao Xingchen in front of her: "Quick, take your sister in."
The pitch-black hole looked like a monster that could swallow people in. Xiao Xingwan, who was only a few years old, sobbed softly in fear.
Ayouduo, who had always been gentle, now seemed very rough, pushing the two of them into the cellar without mercy, and darkness immediately enveloped the two young children.
"Xingchen, my sister is still young. You must keep an eye on her, you know. Don't come out. Remember, no matter what happens, don't come out."
Although Xiao Xingchen is young and mature, he is still a half-year-old child. At this time, he was frightened by his mother's series of actions and was a little panicked. He looked at his mother in front of the cellar in a daze.
Ayouduo glanced back in the direction of the door. The noise of the crowd outside the door was getting closer and closer. She turned back in a panic: "Xingchen, promise me."
"I know, mother."
Slender fingers touched Xiao Xingchen's face, but the fingertips were so cold. Ayouduo took one last deep look at Xiao Xingwan who was hiding behind Xiao Xingchen. A drop of crystal tears fell from her blue eyes. His eyes fell: "My child, if we say goodbye today and never see each other again in this life, promise me to live a good life."
After that, he turned back decisively and closed the cellar lid.
In the darkness, Xiao Xingwan finally cried out in fear. Xiao Xingchen turned around in a hurry and covered her mouth with his hand: "Sister, don't cry."
There was a hard knock on the door.
With a "boom", the originally fragile wooden door fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
As the dust rose, a middle-aged man in a dark gray brocade robe appeared at the door. The black boots on his legs were already stained with some gray-white dust, but he didn't care at all and stepped into the house slowly.
Although she only wore coarse linen clothes that were the same as those of women in the village, Ayuduo's appearance and stunningly beautiful eyes, which were not exactly the same as those of the Central Plains people, made it impossible for her to hide among the crowd.
"It seems we have found the right place. You must be Mingyue Sect Saint Ayouduo." The man walked in with his hands behind his back, but stopped at the door and said calmly.
The sunshine today was very good. It came in from outside the door and hit him. The early morning light was so dazzling that it made it difficult to open one's eyes. Ayouduo couldn't help but squint his eyes.
"The Holy Maiden of the Mingyue Sect is indeed as beautiful as the legend, but such a beautiful woman is willing to hide here like this for the rest of her life?"
"You don't look like people from the Mingyue Sect. Who are you? How did you find me." Ayouduo's right hand behind her back tightly grasped the weapon in her palm.
"We are indeed not from the Mingyue Sect," the man waved his hand behind him, stopping those who wanted to come in together. Through the gap behind him, Ayouduo saw what seemed to be many people holding swords standing at her house. In front of the door, "But Ming Feng, the leader of Mingyue Sect, found me. If I can find the saint for Mingyue Sect, he will abide by his promise to me and never invade the Central Plains again."
The man in front of the door suddenly took a few steps forward and left the bright light. Ayouduo could suddenly see his entire appearance clearly.
A pair of thick sword-shaped eyebrows revealed a heroic spirit. He seemed to be a little different from the people outside the door, and he did not exude a strong murderous aura. He bent down slightly and looked at the woman in front of him: "If you are a saint from the Mingyue Sect, you must know your leader better than me. If I am not mistaken, you defected from the Mingyue Sect because you wanted to leave that ghost place." ?”
"Since you know that Mingyue Sect is definitely not a good place, are you still colluding with the leader?"
The man sighed deeply: "Miss Ayouduo, the day I entered the world, I vowed to be a chivalrous man, but as time went by, I discovered that things in this world are not always what I wanted. If you want to fulfill your greater self, you have to sacrifice your small self. Girls are weak and female. I shouldn’t do this bullying thing. But if I can exchange the peace of my Yunzhong City with a girl, I can only do this villain. .”
Ayouduo snorted coldly: "You Central Plains people are all hypocritical people who talk about hypocrisy and hypocrisy. Why do you think you are so noble?"
"You're right," the man unconsciously touched the jade pendant hanging on his waist with his hand. He was not angry at Ayouduo's words. He even felt that he agreed with what she accused him of. He was already very angry with himself. My current behavior feels scornful, but it is forced by the overall situation and I have to do it. "There is something I think I must tell the girl. Does the girl know how we found you?"
Ayouduo raised her head slightly, having some bad premonitions.
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard the man's name in his mouth: "Having lived with you for so many years, Yunzhi really knows you too well."
Xiao Yunzhi's left hand under her sleeve had turned white from exerting force. Ayouduo closed her eyes in despair. She originally thought that after they separated that night, she could regard it as a dream, but she didn't expect that... He was so heartless.
"Let me see Xiaoyun, and I'll go with you."
Ayouduo opened her eyes again and looked at the man in front of her. Her eyes were dry without a single tear. She quietly hid the weapon in her right hand into her sleeve.
"Girl, please." The man took a step back and made a gesture of invitation.
Ayouduo's footsteps hesitated, her head moved slightly, as if she wanted to do something, but she made no more moves, strode forward, and left the house.
