Interlude
Excerpt 1:
In the midst of green mountains and green waters, a ten-year-old girl sat by the river. The girl was dressed in green, with a slender body and a beautiful face. She stretched out her feet and swayed and frolicked in the river in a happy mood, while her mouth kept repeating the chant:
"Qingqing Zijin, relax my heart.
Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound?
Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it.
Even if I don't go, Zining won't come?
Picky and embarrassed, in the city.
Not seen for a day, like March! ……”
The girl's beautiful feet are tied with a red string bell, and as the girl's feet move together, the bell makes a pleasant and crisp sound.
And this river, seen from afar, is endless. The river is shallow and not deep. The river looks turquoise from afar, but blue up close, and the water is sparkling in the sunlight, and the pebbles at the bottom of the river are clearly visible.
Just as the girl had had enough of playing and was about to get up and go back, a thirteen-year-old boy in the distance ran forward desperately. The boy was dressed in rags, and his long hair covered his fair face. When he was a foot away from the girl, he finally collapsed without power.
The girl slowly walked up to the boy and ripped his hair with her hands. A handsome face appeared in front of you. The young man has willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, white skin and beautiful appearance, and a thin body. It's a pity that the girl was too young, and she didn't know how to talk about love at that time.
The girl took the boy to a simple thatched hut, where she laid out the straw mat, settled the boy, and went to cook tea and rice.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" I don't know how long I lay down, and with a coughing sound, the boy gradually woke up. When I opened my eyes, I couldn't help but be a little vigilant when I looked at this strange place.
"You're awake!" The girl held the food in one hand and presented it on the table, while greeting warmly.
"Who are you? Also, how did I end up here? The boy asked coldly.
"My name is Qiongyan, and today, when I was playing by the river, I saw you fall to the ground, so I rescued you." The girl explained.
After some explanation, the boy let down his guard.
"I see, thank you girl for saving her life." The boy said gratefully
"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. Childe, are you hungry? I made some meals, and ate some in one piece? The girl said kindly
"Good!" The boy laughed
On this day, it was raining heavily, and the girl and the boy were playing in the house. When I got tired halfway, I rested on a wooden chair.
"Qiongyan, your name is really nice, do you have any origin?" The boy had nothing to do and asked casually.
"Fengge Longlou Lianxiao Han, Yushu Qiongzhi as a smoker, how many times have you ever known how to fight?" The girl replied.
"Why did you choose this poem as the origin of your name?" The boy wondered
"Can I trust you?" The girl asked cautiously
"Yan'er, we have been together for more than half a month, and you saved my life, so I won't hurt you! Of course, if you don't want to say it, you can choose not to say it, I won't force you. The boy's eyes were full of tenderness.
"I believe in you! Actually, my surname is Hua, and I am a relative of the emperor of the previous dynasty. I live in the palace for a long time, so naturally I have seen all the prosperous scenes in the palace. In such a luxurious life, how did I know that there was such a thing as war? But since the destruction of Yuxuan and my father became a prisoner, I have been in tears all day long, living a ......life of displacement," Qiongyan said with tears in her eyes
"Yuxuan has a history of 30 years, and when Huading ruled the country, the country was rich and the people were strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Since the establishment of the Yongchang Dynasty, the monarch of Yuxuan has since become a faint monarch in the eyes of the world. What a pity! The boy lamented.
The young man looked at the girl and couldn't help but cry, and comforted: "Yan'er, don't cry, although the Yuxuan Kingdom is destroyed, you still have me." Yan'er, wait for me for five years, and after five years, I will definitely pick you up, okay? ”
The girl wiped away her tears and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you!" ”
A month passed, and the boy left first because he had something important, and before leaving, he promised the girl that he would come to pick her up in five years.
Excerpt 2:
A year later
In the evening of that day, a tall woman dressed in purple and wearing a veil came to the hut. She knocked softly on the door, and it was the girl with the beautiful face who opened the door.
"Little girl, I'm lost here, you see, it's dark this day, can you let me spend the night here?" The woman in purple said sincerely
The kind and innocent girl didn't think much about it, so she let her into the house. After the woman in purple entered the house, she glanced at the furnishings in the house, and felt disgusted in her heart. But his face still didn't change, and he smiled gently: "Little sister, are you the only one who lives?" ”
The girl nodded in reply.
"Little sister, don't be afraid! My sister is not a bad person. By the way, little sister, you should be bored and lonely living here alone, right? Do you want my sister to find you an old man to accompany you and take care of you? The woman in purple said charmingly
"No thanks!" The girl said politely
"Little sister, this old man is Dongli's grandfather. If you can help him support his grandfather, it can be regarded as helping him fulfill his filial piety, and in the future, when he comes to you, he will be more grateful to you, and maybe he will marry you! The woman in purple said a word, and the girl who listened had nothing to say.
The woman in purple raised her hand, her slender hand, slowly poured a bowl of coarse tea, and said with a smile: "Good boy, don't worry, drink a glass of water, think carefully." ”
The girl could not resist the temptation, and after a glass of water, she fell on the table, unconscious.
Excerpt 3:
Five years later
Wutong Mountain
An old man knelt at the foot of the five steps, his face frightened, and he looked solemnly at the woman on the throne dressed in purple with a gorgeous face.
"Big boss, you've taken control of that girl. Don't let me hurt him again! In the past few years, I have been with him, and I really regard him as a granddaughter. The old man kowtowed and pleaded
"It's no wonder that girl is filial in front of you and loves you, presumably, many years ago, you already regarded her as your own granddaughter." The woman said slowly
"Yes! Great Master, you are merciful, please ......"
"Don't worry, for the sake of your many years of doing things for me, I won't embarrass you." The woman interrupted
"Thank you, thank you!" The old man kowtowed vigorously in thanks.
"Let's go back!"
"Yes!" After the old man finished speaking, he quickly retreated.
"The third child!" The woman called coldly
A fat man approached, standing still, bowing his head and silent, as if waiting for an order.
"Tomorrow, bloodbath Wutong Village!" The woman commanded
"Yes!" The man replied earnestly, and when he had finished speaking, he withdrew.
