"Why don't you speak, Girl Lan, what's the matter with you?"
The scholar grasped the woman's arm tightly, and looked at the woman's eyes through the veil, hollow and desperate, unable to see the emotions, the scholar's eyes flashed grief, and he tightened his lips and took Youlan away.
When the two escaped and hid behind the rock behind the Jindu Tavern, the man made a gesture to take off Youlan's veil, but the woman suddenly stretched out her hand to stop him from taking it off.
"Liu Yin, no, please don't!"
The woman's voice is not as clear and beautiful as it used to be, with the hoarseness of an old woman, and the fingers holding the edge of the gauze hat are full of freshly scabbed wounds.
"What the hell is going on with you, what the magistrate Li did to you, let me take a good look at you!"
With the attitude of the woman, Liu Qingyun was even more worried. He immediately pulled off the woman's yarn hat with force.
Under the gauze cap, the woman’s haggard face appeared, her cheeks are no longer plump and rosy, her complexion is dull, her eyes are sunken, her lips are pale and dry, where there is the old look, even more terrifying, is the woman’s cheeks. They were small scars, some were just scabs, and some had skin and flesh turned out, and red and yellow blood came out.
But Youlan felt that her eyes suddenly lit up, and the worried face of the man came into her eyes. Naturally, she saw Liu Qingyun's surprise when she saw her appearance. She let her sweetheart see her ghostly appearance, and immediately wished to die. His lips trembled, his body stepped back a few steps, and his mouth continued to mutter.
"Don't look at me, don't look at me, Liu Yin please, I'm so ugly, I'm not good enough for you..."
The woman kept whispering in her mouth, and she backed away, trying to get out of the arms of the man, but Liu Qingyun was so willing, seeing Youlan like this, anxious and hateful, clenched her fists, and whispered that she hadn't protected the woman well.
"Don't run away, sister Lan, I will look at you, and I will look at you, what the hell is wrong with you, don't be afraid..."
Liu Qingyun comforted softly, but the woman kept wanting to escape. Between the two struggled, the skin under Youlan's arm was also exposed, green and red interlaced, and the man's eyes were startled.
"Why do you have so many wounds? What happened to you in the county magistrate's house?"
The man asked, but the woman didn’t say a word.
"I beg you to tell me what the hell is wrong with you, Girl Lan. I have been in the county magistrate's mansion to rescue you in the past two months, but there is no way. You are here..."
Liu Qingyun's voice was mournful and painful. Youlan did not respond as if he had dug out his heart. The scholar knew that something had happened, and he would have been irreparable for a long time, but Youlan was his lover and he wanted to take care of him for the rest of his life. , A woman who has been taking care of her for a lifetime, how can she make him feel painful now that she is like this.
"Liu Qingyun!"
The woman’s voice suddenly rose, causing Liu Qingyun’s mouth and hands to stop.
"I, Youlan, is no longer worthy of you. From now on, I will forget me, go to test your fame, to marry a wife and have children."
The woman's eyes drooped, and she refused to let Liu Qingyun see her expression.
"Sister Lan, what are you talking about!"
"I'm tired, Youlan is already so dirty, nowhere is it worthy of you."
The woman's attitude changed sharply, causing the man's hands to droop down and his eyes to go blank.
"You are joking with me..."
The man didn't finish his words, but the woman fled without even bringing her veil.
"Sister Lan! Sister Lan..."
Liu Qingyun's shout fell behind Youlan's ears. The woman wanted to turn her head, but she couldn't turn her head. Once she turned her head, it would destroy Liu Qingyun's great future, or push her lover to the cliff.
She had fallen into the abyss long ago, so how could she pull him down too.
She was in desperation a long time ago and could never come back again. She was driven out by the people in the tavern. She was smashed by the people on the street. She was slandered by foul language and could not meet her lover. Liu Qingyun prayed for her outside the door. When the door was opened, the woman could only slip from the door to the ground in despair. Hearing the call of the man outside the door, she didn't even have the courage to reach out.
Painful
Desperate
She Youlan is just a weak woman, but these inexplicable disasters have come to her because she is unprepared, she is knocked to the ground and can't get up.
But the woman can only be more painful and desperate, being thrown into a stone mill, crushed, and pushed into the stove to be burned. How can such pain be worth seeing her lover burned to death in front of her with her own eyes.
When Youlan came back to her senses again, she was already paralyzed in front of the fire.
On the bridge of Yiqiao, headed by the magistrate Li, a group of county residents hula la, and in the middle of the crowd, there are piles of firewood, and a man with the appearance of a scholar is tied to the naked skin, full of scars. Wounds, scalds, stab wounds, how tragically the man has been punished, will he become so embarrassed. At this time, it seems that there is no such thing as a handsome and talented person.
"Scholar Liu Qingyun, and the demon girl Youlan have made good friends, and has already fallen into the demon way. In order to prevent this demon from causing harm to the world, this county magistrate has eliminated harm for the people today and burned this little demon on fire!"
County magistrate Li held a torch, and spoke loudly to the people who looked at him who were adoring below. He glanced sideways and glanced at the people who had poured oil on the pile of firewood, and a vicious smile came out from the corner of his mouth. As soon as the torch was loosened, with the torch as the center, a circle of flames began to spread and grow rapidly, enclosing Liu Qingyun in it.
"Ahem..."
The unconscious man was awakened by the rising black smoke, only to see that he had been surrounded by the orange flames. The sky of Yiqiao was dark. Today is approaching fifteen, and the moon on the horizon has become more and more rounded. When I got up, it was only the falling light, extremely cold, piercing human bones and blood.
In the moonlight, the expressions of the people outside the fire scene are even more frightening. Does anyone show a pitiful look of sympathy
No, it's all schadenfreude, grinning grinningly to watch a fresh life die.
"Liu Yun..."
In the crowd, a woman whimpered quietly, but it was covered by the applause of the crowd. Youlan hid behind the crowd, only those eyes were exposed, full of despair.
She was too far away from Liu Qingyun, her lover died because of her, but she couldn't take a step forward.
The woman here looked sad, but saw Liu Qingyun in the fire scene suddenly cast her gaze here, the scorching sight, Youlan could perceive it clearly, and she moved and walked slowly over, waiting for the sight of the man and woman to meet.
In the orange flame, the woman saw the scarred and haggard young scholar, while the man saw the veiled and tender woman with only one pair of eyes, but the two of them looked sad. From this moment on, heaven and man were separated forever. .
You are not allowed to come, I will go only you.
This was the last word the man said to the woman. There was no voice, but between her lips opened and closed, Youlan had long understood that even though she was relatively speechless, her affection was lingering, but it was even more painful. After that, Yi Qiao would There was a strong wind, and the fire was even stronger. Liu Qingyun was invisible for a long time. When the man was dying, he didn't even utter a cry of pain. Above the sky, the moonlight was cold, and above the Yiqiao bridge, the fire blazed into the sky. It was supposed to be a warm orange-red light, but the faces were horrified as the underworld little ghosts, and their teeth and claws were disgusting.
When the crowd dissipated, You Lan finally thumped and knelt on the ground. When she looked very slowly into the pile of ashes, she could no longer see the man's face.
What kind of fire was this? The tied man was totally unrecognizable, leaving only his dark body.
"Liu Yun..."
With the last bit of strength, the woman crawled into the pile of ashes. When her fingers touched the corpse, a light-colored light suddenly appeared on the corpse, which then turned into gray powder and loosened it. The wind on the Yiqiao bridge was blowing so hard, and so on. Youlan responded, and even Liu Qingyun's body was gone.
"Why, why is it like this..."
The woman's hands trembled, and gray powder flowed from her fingers,
"Liu Yin, what did I do wrong?"
Youlan's voice choked, and her voice was hoarse, as if it came from deep underground.
"Oh, why on earth do I have to endure such pain! This is not fair to me!"
The woman's eyes were hollow, and she stood up staggeringly like crazy,
"It's not fair, it's not fair to me, hahahaha!"
Youlan couldn't even shed a drop of tears, and her eyes were dry and painful.
"Sister Lan, do you like this hairpin?"
"Sister Lan, I will go to test my fame, but you promised me that you will wait for me to come back and marry you."
"You are not allowed to come, I will go only you."
…
These words, she Yulan, could not hear anymore.
"what… "
Youlan let out a desperate howl, but memories that had nothing to do with her suddenly flashed in her mind.
"Princess, next time, don't be so naughty anymore!"
It was Wu Yu, and the wing tribe totem at the corner of the woman's eyes gleamed with her smile.
"I got it!"
The playful girl stuck her tongue out and didn't know where she went.
"Sister Curly! Hurry up!"
A young boy appeared again with a bright smile and two dimples, and a running girl followed him behind him.
"You brat, wait for me to see if I don't crush your skin!"
The girl gritted her teeth, running flushed and sweating on her forehead.
"wave."
The scene in the woman's mind changed again and again, but a man in a black robe appeared again, wearing a black cloak, and slowly lifted it down, revealing the strange face, the thin rose-colored lips lightly opened, softly calling out With this sound.
"Curl, I'm here, don't be afraid."
The man showed a gentle smile, stretched out his slender hand, and knocked on the girl's forehead. She ache, and yelled "Ah".
At this moment Qi Niao Niao reacted all back, she was Qi Niao Niao, not Youlan, she had fallen into an illusion, all this was fake, and the pain she experienced was not her Qi Niao Niao's.
When the girl suddenly woke up, the scene in front of her eyes began to distort and shrink, and in the end, it shattered, and from the crevice, there was a sudden rush of cold air.
"what!"
Qi Qi screamed in surprise, his eyes suddenly opened, his chest was rising and falling, cold sweat was falling.
