The man had lost all patience with Ji Yueqin, and he raised his hand again to reach Ji Yueqin's neck. Seeing this, Xiaoyu wanted to pull the man's hand away from Ji Yueqin's neck. Xiaoyu was in a hurry, so he grabbed bloodstains on the man's hand with his fingernails. The man remained indifferent and let Xiaoyu do what he did.
Here, Ji Yueqin's face has also turned into a pig's liver color, and her brain is gradually blurred due to lack of oxygen, but her gaze at the man is still light and firm, without a trace of fear, even if it is about to face death.
The man looked at Ji Yueqin's eyes a little bit in his heart, he couldn't kill Ji Yueqin, so he couldn't know the source of the jade pendant. After all, this jade pendant was a token given to Duan Rou, the daughter-in-law of the former prime minister's residence, by the emperor Nan Ruiyuan, who was once Da Yu. He didn't know why this jade pendant appeared in the hands of this little girl, and the dark piles under his men also lost a lot because of the great change in the Seven Kings Palace. The last news came that Duan Rou died in order to protect the little princess and the little prince, but the little princess and the little prince accidentally fell into the rushing river.
So he let go, and Ji Yueqin fell softly to the ground and passed out. Xiaoyu shook Ji Yueqin nervously, trying to make Ji Yueqin wake up, but because of the man's excessive force, Ji Yueqin couldn't wake up for a while. When the man saw Ji Yueqin fainted, he asked Xiaoyu to move Ji Yueqin to the cave in the inner room. When Xiaoyu laid Ji Yueqin flat on the bed and gently took off her shoes for Ji Yueqin, she saw that Ji Yueqin's socks were soaked with blood.
The man walked into the house and saw this scene, and was stunned. This house is not close to Jubaozhuang, and it takes time to take a cup of tea. Looking at this blood blister, she must have traveled a lot today, but she still persevered with gritted teeth. He did not admire this little girl's tenacity. So he threw a bottle of ointment to Xiaoyu, who was looking at Ji Yueqin distressedly, out of sympathy, but also with a little admiration.
Xiaoyu took the ointment and threw it at the man, saying, "I don't want your alms!" The ointment rolled on the ground, but because the material was good, the ointment inside was not poured out.
The man looked at Xiaoyu with a sneer and said, "Do what you want. As a woman, your skin is delicate. If you have skin on your body, you will be affected by your parents. If you don't put ointment on her, just wait for her feet to rot. , anyway, it's not you who won't be able to marry in the future, it's her. If you don't want her to be like this all your life, just give her medicine honestly." The man left the back room after speaking.
Xiaoyu watched the man leave angrily, and picked up the medicine bottle silently. Thinking that Ji Yueqin and her came together by trekking mountains and rivers, but she worked hard and did not cry hard, and did not ask for rest all the time, so she felt even more distressed. She knew that Ji Yueqin had never traveled so far as she did today, because she was the jewel of the Seven Kings Palace before. Thinking of the tragic death of her parents that Ji Yueqin experienced, she sighed leisurely.
The man didn't know where he brought a pot of hot water to Xiaoyu, so he went outside to look at the jade pendant. Seeing that the man would not come in again, Xiaoyu took off Ji Yueqin's coarse linen and carefully wiped off the dirt on Ji Yueqin's body and the blood on his feet. Then Xiaoyu gently tore open the broken skin of the blood blisters on Ji Yueqin's feet. Ji Yueqin, who was in a coma because of the pain, frowned in her sleep. Seeing this, Xiaoyu had to act more carefully to apply medicine to Ji Yueqin. The ointment was cool and cool, soothing the pain caused by the blood blisters, but Ji Yueqin's brows were still furrowed, as if struggling in a dream.
Ji Yueqin dreamed of that day in a dream. She witnessed Xiaolu beside her being stabbed to death by soldiers who broke into her home. Her mother took her and her younger brother to hide behind a cabinet and stabbed a soldier to death with a hairpin. Then she was too frightened to make a sound, but her brother was so frightened that his mother's hands were covered in blood and burst into tears. Because the crying of the younger brother attracted other soldiers, the mother took her and the younger brother to jump off the lotus pond and ran out of the house. She saw her mother walking through the bamboo forest in order to protect her and her brother, and her body was covered in blood. Finally, she saw her mother let them run away, asking her and her brother to live well. She saw her mother's death with her own eyes and shouted for her mother.
Xiaoyu saw Ji Yueqin who was having nightmares constantly calling out to her mother, and a dense layer of sweat had formed on her head. Suddenly, Ji Yueqin shouted her mother and sat up. Seeing that Ji Yueqin finally woke up, Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. The man heard the sound of the back room and walked in to see what was going on.
When the man entered the back room, he saw Ji Yueqin sitting on the boat with a pale face in a daze, while Xiaoyu looked at Ji Yueqin worriedly. When Ji Yueqin heard someone entered the house, she looked over vigilantly, and then stared at the man with burning eyes. Perhaps because Ji Yueqin's eyes were too sharp, the man looked at Ji Yueqin's face in a daze. This look was somewhat similar to his face, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Ji Yueqin found that the man was staring at her face all the time, and she couldn't help sinking her face. After all, she was still a virgin, and it was not polite for a man to look at her like this. So Ji Yueqin coughed lightly, and the man's thoughts were pulled back to reality by Ji Yueqin's light cough. But looking at Ji Yueqin's face very much like Duan Rou's face, especially the toughness in those dark eyes is almost exactly the same as Duan Rou when she was young. The man asked in surprise, "Who are you?"
Ji Yueqin was a little confused, looked at the man suspiciously, and said lightly, "I'm just a little girl."
When the man saw Ji Yueqin's answer that wasn't what he asked, he didn't feel as annoyed as before, but he was not satisfied with Ji Yueqin's answer and asked again, "What is your relationship with Miss Duan Rou?"
When Ji Yueqin heard the man's question, she was startled and blurted out: "Who are you! Why do you know your mother's name!" When she finished speaking, she knew that she seemed to have said something she shouldn't have said, and lowered her head again. Go down and think about what to do next.
Hearing Ji Yueqin's reply, the man was stunned for a moment, and murmured in his mouth: "Mother..." Suddenly he came to his senses as if he had understood something, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "My subordinate, Shadow, pays respect to Yueqin County. Lord! This subordinate just... accidentally injured the county lord. Please punish the county lord."
Ji Yueqin looked at the man with doubts in her heart, thinking that the man could never be the secret guard of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. If it was the secret guard of the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he couldn't possibly not know him, and the man in front of him called his mother Duan Rou. The young lady is not the seventh princess, which shows that this person has a great relationship with his mother. Moreover, the man brought himself back to the house because of the jade pendant that his mother left for him at the end, and the Chinese character engraved on it was the surname of the lord of the Kingdom of Dayu. Ji Yueqin was thinking about who the man was in her mind, and after guessing his origin, she raised her head and looked at the shadow quietly.
The shadow seems to know what Ji Yueqin wants to ask, and before Ji Yueqin asks him, he takes the initiative to answer: "The next is the shadow of the dark guard of the king of the country, and he is also ordered to bring Miss Duan Rou and the little prince of the small county together. Go back. It's just that Miss Duan Rou..." Shadow hesitated, but Ji Yueqin couldn't help but feel hurt when she heard Shadow mention her mother and brother. The atmosphere was also a little heavy, and the sadness made people want to cry. The little fish on the side was already stunned by this scene, and did not understand what happened.
Ji Yueqin's tears condensed in her eyes, but she tried her best to keep the tears from falling, "Mother... she passed away. My brother and I are separated." After saying that, she didn't want to say more.
After listening to Ji Yueqin's words, Shadow Shadow also became silent, and sighed in his heart. The woman who used to be a glorious generation has now passed away, and he doesn't know what will happen to the king. Immediately sighed, "Yueqin County Lord, rest well, and escort County Lord to destroy Dayu tomorrow.
Da Yu, what kind of country will it be, and are there any relatives of her there? Ji Yueqin's thoughts drifted far away, and her heart gradually cooled down, her whole body exuded a thick sadness and sadness. Her hands became very cold, but the warmth of Xiaoyu's palm pulled her out of the abyss of sadness. She raised her eyes to look at Xiaoyu in a daze, looking at Xiaoyu's black and clear eyes, her eyes gradually became brighter. Xiaoyu patted her hand, smiled and said, "I will always be with you."
With the knock on the door, the two of them turned their eyes to the door. "Come in." Ji Yueqin's cold voice sounded. The door was pushed open by the shadow, and the shadow poured another pot of hot water and brought in two men's clothes for Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu, "The county master, this subordinate brought you and this girl two subordinate clothes. , I hope the county master doesn't dislike it." After speaking, he handed the two sets of cleaned men's clothes to Ji Yueqin, and then said to Xiaoyu next to him: "This girl, I have been offended before, please don't. I care. These hot water are for the girl to freshen up, and the subordinates have retired." After speaking, Shadow left the room.
Ji Yueqin looked at the shadow's leaving back, nodded and smiled and said, "Thank you."
The shadow outside the house heard Ji Yueqin's reply, and the corner of his mouth rose slightly. This little princess was just like Miss Duan Rou back then, and never regarded him as a servant. Thinking of Duan Rou, he looked at the candle in a daze and sighed faintly.
In the room, Ji Yueqin put on Shadow's clothes, because Shadow is an adult and Ji Yueqin is only seven or eight years old, the body shape is really too different, Xiaoyu looks at Ji Yueqin's thin body but wears it. Wearing a large dress, he couldn't help but smile. Ji Yueqin smiled slightly when she saw that Xiaoyu was similar to herself.
At this moment, the moon has climbed on the branch, and Qiu Chan is still calling out the window, but it does not have the hot and dry feeling of summer night. Finally got a good night's rest.
Just when Ji Yueqin and Xiaoyu were resting peacefully on the collapse, the accident happened again.
