After three consecutive days of heavy rain, the house slowly felt cooler.
On the ground floor of the large guest room, there is a huge blanket. This kind of blanket is a famous handicraft of the Liao Dynasty. It has delicate patterns, is woven with high-quality wool, and is soft and smooth.
King Qin hugged Hua Rong, and the two of them sat on the carpet together. The beds and windows in the Liao Kingdom were very low. Sitting like this, you could have a flat line of sight to look at the continuous rain outside and the branches of pine needles swaying under the rain. willow.
He turned his head and was about to talk to her when he saw her bare ankle and a length of calf sticking out from under the skirt of a Liao woman. It was as crystal clear as a piece of fresh lotus root, just like when he first saw her. .
He was startled, life is really strange. Once a person wakes up, those muscles will recover quickly. Once the skin that has gradually withered in the past is nourished, it will quickly, with moisture and life juice, gradually become... luster.
Perhaps sensing that he was looking at her legs, Hua Rong inadvertently took them back, sat cross-legged on the carpet, raised her head, and smiled slightly: "Qin Shangcheng, let me discuss something with you, okay?"
The gentle and kind look in her eyes and the extremely rare soft tone were the first time that King Qin had seen him in his life. His heart was filled with excitement. At this moment, even if she had to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire, she would rush out immediately.
"Girl, tell me!"
… … …
She still smiled before saying anything, squinting her eyes slightly, as if she didn't know how to speak.
King Qin saw her half leaning against the wall behind her, her face was pale, and when she squinted her eyes, her eyelashes drooped and closed her eyes.
"Girl, what do you want to say?"
She opened her eyes, and slowly, her tone was still very soft: "Qin Shangcheng, have we known each other for many years?"
He was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes, it's been almost ten years."
In a hurry, almost ten years have passed. So fast, yet so slowly.
She stared at King Qin, and her mind unexpectedly recalled her first terrifying "meeting" with him, her first "bridal chamber flowers and candles", his long-distance journey to the Golden Camp to rescue him, his escape at sea, and the The snuggle of a foreign country.
During these days when she woke up, she didn't even think about Yue Pengju. She tossed and turned and only thought about this one thing. Sometimes, her heart was broken thinking about it - because she knew the damage to her internal organs. After being in the military camp for so long, I also started to understand some superficial medical skills. According to my situation, it would take me three to five years at most and three to five months at least. It was really not worth worrying about.
If I can still open my eyes, it's just a matter of lingering for a few days. If I can go back and see Yue Pengju, I'll be satisfied.
However, there must be a real settlement between King Qin and him.
When I first woke up, I remembered his palm, and I didn't feel any hatred at all. Not only did I have it, but it was so strong that I would eventually die in his hands.
King Qin felt very uncomfortable when she stared at him like this, and he felt a strange sadness at the same time, so that he couldn't say a word.
"Girl..."
"Qin Shangcheng, I recognize you as my adopted brother, okay?"
King Qin was stunned for a moment and had no idea what she meant.
She slowly, word by word, seemed to be explaining: "Haha, apart from Pengju, you are the only one who treats me the best in the world. However, I have married Pengju, and I will never humiliate him in this life. My surname has always been with him in all my life. I have been helped by you many times, but I have been unable to repay you. Qin Shangcheng, I respect you as my brother, okay? "
King Qin was stunned.
There is only one kind of woman in life, and that is to go to bed or not to go to bed. Where are the brothers and sisters? The corners of his mouth are swollen, not to mention that the woman opposite is his "wife"! She is a wife who has truly had sex with her husband!
From husband and wife to brother and sister
Which man wants to be respected as a "sworn brother" by his wife
Why doesn't she respect Yue Pengju as her adopted brother
No, it’s “adopted brother!”
Why is it you? Just because you like it? Just because he likes Yue Pengju, he has to become a "sworn brother"
"You know, I have no relatives. If I have a brother like you, and Yue Pengju bullies me in the future, you can help me beat him up. Qin Shangcheng, please promise to be my adopted brother, okay?"
Her voice is gentle and clear, full of determination and enthusiasm.
King Qin looked as if he had been punched by someone, his face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.
"Qin Shangcheng..."
"No! I will never agree!"
What is going on? He turned his head to the side angrily, not knowing whether he was angry with her or himself.
"Qin Shangcheng..."
"No, you don't need to say it! Girl, I hurt you and I owe you. You don't have a few days to live. After you die, I will take care of myself. You don't have to force me at this time or force me to do anything I don't want to do. You clearly know, why would I be your sworn brother? You can’t even think of it..."
Her voice was full of panic. She knew his temper, so she was even more afraid: "How do you end it? Qin Shangcheng, don't do stupid things. You hurt me, but I don't hate you... You saved my life twice..." Now , if you want your own life, please take it - she couldn't go on, she didn't actually mean it.
When King Qin heard these words, he was shocked. He suddenly remembered that at sea and on the boat, she threatened to commit suicide with a knife, saying that if she wanted to go to war, she would give her life back first.
Sure enough, her life was "given back" to herself!
"Hey, girl, you think I just want to kill you, right?"
"No, I don't think so..."
"But, I originally wanted to kill you!"
"!!!"
Seeing that his eyes were almost on fire, Hua Rong felt sour and couldn't say anything anymore. King Qin turned around and turned his back to her.
Hua Rong leaned against the wall and slowly lay down, lying on the carpet with her eyes closed, listening to the foreign sound of wind and rain.
There was no movement for a long time. Qin Shangcheng turned around quietly and saw that she had fallen asleep on the carpet. Her crystal legs were curled up, beautiful and with a sad allure.
As soon as his throat went dry, he felt ten thousand dissatisfied. The result of searching for a wife for thousands of miles was just to change from a husband to a "sworn brother"? Absolutely impossible!
He sighed secretly, and lay down next to her, head to head with her. She still had her eyes closed, but her body curled up more and more. He already knew what the witch doctor meant by "cannot die", and he could live. , it only lasted three to a few months, and when the heart and lungs were completely damaged and rotten, they died in one breath. Every time she curled up, he understood that her internal organs were contracting in pain.
He stretched out his hand and couldn't help but want to hug her, but she gently brushed his hand away. Her limbs were weak and she couldn't move it, but he understood her body language, which clearly meant she didn't want to get close to him. He just retracted his hand and looked at her blankly.
It rained heavily during the day, and at night there was thunder and lightning.
The lightning was white and struck the window one after another, as if there was an endless and terrifying force that was about to break through the window.
King Qin lay down on the carpet for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and sat on the edge of the bed. There was another flash of white lightning, and he clearly saw her eyes wide open in the dark night.
"Girl, are you afraid?"
She was indeed afraid that she would die in the storm in this foreign country and never return to her homeland or to Yue Pengju's side.
He stretched out his hand and hugged her gently. At this moment, she was so weak that she couldn't struggle and didn't want to struggle. She just leaned her head gently in his arms.
Another bolt of lightning struck, and he saw her feet exposed. He gently stretched out his hand to hold her feet and put them under the thin quilt. When his hand went up and touched the cold calf, he realized that her whole body was cold. of.
His hand stopped there, trying to warm his cold calf, and the soft pity in his heart became stronger and stronger: "Girl, I will definitely cure you..."
There was another sentence that he could never say, that is, even if she was cured, she would still follow Yue Pengju in the future, and he would no longer force her.
However, many times, he couldn't say it, as if there was a pain in his chest, as soon as he finished speaking, a certain bone in his body would break. It was like a person who wanted to pick off a bone in his body.
He himself can't do anything. He always hopes that a miracle will happen and his body can be kept intact.
The lightning and thunder slowly died down, and then came the whistling wind, whistling back and forth one after another, like thousands of troops running in the dark night.
Hua Rong rested her head on his chest and could even hear his clear heartbeat, thump thump thump.
She spoke in the gap between the sound of wind and rain: "Qin Shangcheng, please do one thing to me, okay?"
At that moment, he had the illusion that his wife, his own woman, was nestled in his arms, whispering softly. No matter what it was, he would always be obedient to her.
But, are you being a "sworn brother" again
He touched her hair sadly and said nothing. He didn't know what he would do if she continued to beg for permission.
"I want to tell you that that time, the oath you swore cannot be counted. It was not that you failed me, but that I failed you. Therefore, you cannot restrain yourself with that pedantic oath. Qin Shangcheng, in these years, you have also failed You are very lonely. You are not young anymore. It is time to marry a good woman and live a good life... From now on, forget about me and marry another woman, okay? "
His throat was choked and he was completely speechless.
Her voice was faint, as if she was sighing: "On the second day after I got married, Pengju and I were enjoying the snow in the garden. He was carrying me on his back, and I saw a figure, like you, drinking with a wine flask... "
He was shocked! The girl saw herself!
She actually saw him. That time, he originally wanted to kill Yue Pengju in the military camp, but Zhang Xian was heavily guarded, and he had no way to do it, so he had to leave sadly. Unexpectedly, Yue Pengju didn't kill her later, and instead he killed her Severely injured.
"... Qin Shangcheng, at that moment when I saw you, I felt extremely uncomfortable. For many years, I always thought that I hated you and would never have any real affection for you. However, at that moment, I felt that I was sorry. You...I'm so sorry for you..."
He stretched out his hand and touched the tears on her face.
"Girl..." He just yelled, unable to speak at all.
"Qin Shangcheng, I sincerely hope that you can live your own life and don't think about me... What's good about me? I'm not good at anything. Only if you abandon me and forget me will you be truly happy in this life. when… "
Girl, she doesn't know that even if she cares deeply, she doesn't have many days left. Her life has been pushed to the edge of destruction by herself.
"Promise me that you will find another woman you like in the future and stop thinking about me for thousands of miles, okay? I don't want you to live an unhappy life... "
