Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other Chapter 28: (complete)

Dark red blood dripped on the rain-soaked grass.

Stomach pain.

I finally sighed: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry..."

The voice fell, and the flames blazed down the slope. For a moment, the surrounding light was as bright as day. Shang Shu, anxious like something, "Princess, princess... it's a princess! Hurry up, hurry up and protect Your Highness!"

I took a step back and interrupted him, "Master He, don't panic, this palace is safe."

With a bang, he followed my gaze to clearly see the dagger that fell on the ground, with a little blood on the tip.

Before Azuo left, I borrowed a gold blouse from him. At that time, he was so embarrassed that I thought he was stingy and reluctant. Now it seems to be in disrepair. It will be painful after all.

Lu Lingjun really made a ruthless attack. If it wasn't a gold blouse protecting my stomach but an ordinary piece of wood and copper plate, I'm afraid that the sharp dagger could also poke a big hole.

The rain has stopped, but I am still holding an oil-paper umbrella. In such a silent night, the sound of blood dripping can be heard clearly.

Since the owner of the blood is not this princess. It could only be someone else.

I can't help but sigh.

Tonight, before A Zuo and A You were taken away by me, I asked them a question: "Which of the two of you is better at archery?"

Lu Lingjun has a feathered arrow on his shoulder blade and knee.

He shook his body with all his might, but he couldn't hold it any longer. The arrow hit his knees heavily on the ground, breaking the arrow with a clatter.

I frowned, expecting it to be extremely painful, but Brother Lu didn't hum a word, just straightened his body and stared at me.

The normally slightly curved eyes were filled with anger and sarcasm.

I looked down at him in a standing position and looked at him for a while, and continued what I just said: "I'm sorry...you chose to give up your last life, Lu Lingjun."

——Second more——

Seeing that I was safe, He Shangshu ordered Lu Lingjun to be **** and shouted: "A bold madman, who dares to assassinate the current princess of the prison country, who instructed it? It's not true!"

Lu Lingjun's forehead is gradually dense and sweaty, but the corners of his mouth are upturned. He Shangshu is a veteran in criminal cases. end.

"Master He." I put my sleeves and hands behind my back, "I want to say something to Lu Lingjun alone."

He Shangshu hesitated: "This..."

"He's like this, he can't hurt this princess." I said lightly, "Even if he bites off his own tongue, we stare at so many eyes, stop the bleeding and not die, and the exchange is even more torture. ..." I turned around and glanced at him, "Brother Lu I know would never do such a stupid thing."

When He Shangshu led the crowd back to a little distance, I took down the cloth strip stuck in Lu Lingjun's mouth, looked down at him, and said, "Actually, I don't want you to suffer more. Brother Lu, I have ordered someone to find out your details. You received the favor of King Kang when you were young, and you changed from a little beggar to a servant of the prince. Although you were kicked out of King Kang's mansion in less than a year, after that , your life will be completely different. Although I don’t know what you have experienced and what training you have received, but what you have done for them over the years, the connection between you and them after you came to the capital and entered the Imperial College, your martial arts path Numbers, all kinds of things here are not without a trace, even if you confessed nothing, your existence, and the fact that so many people witnessed you assassinating me, has already caused King Kang a lot of trouble."

Lu Lingjun turned his eyes to the distance with a slightly stunned look, and asked, "Did you... know this early in the morning?"

I shook my head and said, "It can be estimated to some extent to kill the mastermind behind me. I didn't know it was you who had the problem until Li Dusu died."

Lu Lingjun wondered: "Oh? I appeared with you to chase the murderer immediately after you were assassinated. How can you see that this is related to me?"

"Because it wasn't you who killed them." I said slowly: "It should be... Su Qiao."

"Li Wen and Du Fei both sealed their throats with a knife. It can be seen that the assassin's knife skills are fast and accurate. However, Su Qiao can still not die with three knifes. The body, the scene is too out of line. I saw the three swords in him, two shallow and one deep, and I guessed that the deep one was cut by my shadow guard. Since he still wants to live, he should not let himself die easily, but He died again in an instant... Anyway, it was you who was touching him at that time, I think it is you who wanted to kill people..."

"You really are..." What is it, but did not continue to say, Lu Lingjun shook his head gently and said, "I ordered his dumb blood to speed up his bleeding," after a pause, "I didn't want to keep my mouth shut, but he killed Li Wen and Du Fei."

There is a river outside the dormitory's window. Su Qiao must have been injured and wanted to escape from there, but he met Li Wen and Du Fei who was studying hard.

I said softly, "I know, so I didn't stop you."

"But you, why do you think I'm going to kill you tonight? If you don't come, I won't be able to do anything, and your shadow guard will follow you at any time."

I sat cross-legged, my **** was wet on the grass, "I guess. I guess, I was assassinated on the cruise ship that day. Could it be you and King Kang who cooperated with each other? Later you learned that I did not You really drowned and died, that's why you tricked me into appearing, didn't you? Your so-called poison needle was just trying to mislead me that the assassin used poison needle to pierce the heart, and it would be fine to block it with a book. As a result, when Su Qiao came to assassinate me, he used a whole box of Torrential Rain Pear Blossom Needles. You are so careful and deliberate, and there should be more to come. I have been guessing, if I were you, how would I support the Shadow Guard and attack alone? What? After thinking about it, maybe you only have to go to a relatively open place. The shadow guard has nowhere to hide and can only hibernate in a distance. It will be easier for you to succeed. Eh, I just thought about it, and I ended up going back to the cell. , I saw the door of your room opened wide, and the robe was nowhere to be seen, and I thought, as expected, are you trying to lead me here?"

Lu Lingjun seemed to smile, "It's not unprecedented that you suddenly disappeared several times."

I wrote lightly: "Inspired by the loss of a close friend, I ran away alone in a scorpion on a heavy rainy night, even because of me, logically, I should have gone to find you to comfort you. After all ..."

After all, I still care about you as a friend.

Lu Lingjun didn't speak anymore. He was silent for a long time before he said: "If I don't kill you tonight, will these temporary arrangements of yours be ineffective?"

I said slowly: "I slept when I was hiding, and I dreamed of you. You in the dream couldn't do this to me at all. After holding back for a long time, I restored the original and told me the truth. I excitedly patted your thigh and said that good brothers are loyal, you laughed and said that friendship is forever, and finally the sun rises with a happy ending. Then I woke up laughing."

Lu Lingjun: "..."

I pulled the cloth from my cuff and covered the blood oozing from my belly, "You don't have to feel guilty, I told my shadow guard, if you kill me, I will shoot you without any care. Well. Who knows, his arrows are so inaccurate, how can he miss your vitals after a few shots."

Lu Lingjun stared at me blankly.

I got up and looked down at him: "So we don't owe anyone."

I turned around and left. Never look at him again.

This route sent officers and soldiers back to the mansion, calm and peaceful.

How can the present Princess Mansion be a peaceful place?

I wondered whether it would be safer to simply enter the palace, but I really don't want to face those scheming schemes all the time.

I am reminded of a place not far from Guozijian.

Jade Dragon Villa.

Once upon a time, Princess Xiangyi's favorite place to stay, the scenery of the mountains, rivers and eaves was just right. At this moment, the village was heavily guarded by layers of troops, and the village also quickly dispatched people to clear the scene before I arrived. It was the first time since I lost my memory that I came back, accompanied by a dim fog.

After I left the guards placed by He Shangshu, I tried to shout twice, and Azuo Ayou came out from the corner.

They were waiting for my next tossing order with horrible dark circles under their eyes.

I suddenly wanted to kick myself twice. Why do so many people have to suffer for you alone?

However, I can't do such a difficult action of kicking myself, so I can only open my mouth and say, "Go to sleep."

Azuo and Ayou first looked at each other when they heard the words, and then they knelt down together. Azuo hurriedly said: "Although Ayou and I are deeply in love with each other...but there is absolutely no love between children, princess, please think twice!"

Me: "..."

A right trembled: "Princess... subordinates are still virgins... It's the first time, how can it be sloppy!"

Me: "..."

A Zuoben and Ayou were on the same front. Hearing this, he restrained his expression, turned to ask Ayou, and said seriously: "What is sloppy? You, it is not appropriate for you to say that, do you doubt my ability in that regard? "

Me: "…………"

How A Zuo and A You ended up going to bed, where did they sleep or not, I don't know.

All in all, at this moment, I just want to change out of this sticky **** and tired clothes and sleep comfortably, then wake up and talk about the rest.

The Princess Residence of Yulong Villa is quite quiet, with green vines surrounding the walls and crescent-shaped windows.

I squatted down and dug in the chest, but I didn't have any thicker clothes other than tulle or tulle. Thinking about it, the Summer Resort came only in the heat of summer, so naturally the palace would not prepare cotton jackets and winter clothes.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, I finally found something comfortable to the touch at the bottom. I pumped it hard, but it took out a touch of tender powder.

A girl's maid's dress, a style that is too familiar to the eyes.

I am stunned. Slowly spread out this slightly wrinkled skirt.

For a moment, I seem to see another petite self with memory, hilariously grabbing the skirt in his hand, putting it on happily, while changing and calling the little palace maid next to him: "Cami, my good sister, Why don't you lend it to me to wear it, don't be so stingy..."

"Your Highness Princess, how does this make... if anyone finds out, the slaves will be punished..."

"You put on my clothes and lay on the bed to sleep, who found out?" I changed my clothes and combed the maid's hair accessories, climbed up the windowsill, and waved at the little maid, With a hearty smile, "I'll go out to play for a while, and I'll be back in the evening. Anyway, you're like my voice, so you're not afraid! Don't be wronged, I'm leaving!"

——The third one——

The picture was a little blurry. I vaguely picked up the spa to cover my swollen face that was stung by bees. Then I couldn't think about it. I pushed forward and opened the window. The scenery outside the window was familiar to my eyes, the pink figure. The image of jumping up and down on the stone corridor came to mind again.

With no sleep at all, I simply turned over the window and tried to follow the footprints to find out how much of the princess' past.

Although Xiao Xiangyi has changed into a palace maid's costume, after all, it is only to hide people's eyes and ears. If you want to go out in a big way, it is not very reliable. Who in this palace does not know the arrogant and arrogant Princess Xiangyi? Therefore, at that time, I found the shortest wall in the whole village, climbed the tree and climbed directly out.

At this moment, I look up at the wall that is twice as tall as I remember, silently weeping blood-hey, God, are you kidding me.

It took a lot of effort to get to the other end of the high wall, and the view of the pine shadows in front of me was refreshing, but...

I look up. Looking at the mountains and forests.

Little sister, are you planning to climb over this mountain to visit the market? Or are you actually just sneaking out to climb a mountain for fitness?

I was hesitating whether to turn back or turn around and go to the main entrance. In a blink of an eye, I saw the stubborn expression of my childhood, stubborn and lonely, holding my skirt and walking in the jungle, not willing to admit defeat. .

Knowing that it was a phantom presented by memory, I seemed to be touched by a soft spot, sighed with mixed emotions, and my legs followed the ignorant past forward and upward.

I don't know how long she has been climbing like this, but she finally stopped and stared at the distant sky. It seemed that a cool breeze drifted into her eyes, shining brightly with a strange brilliance. I followed her gaze and looked forward, but saw nothing but a gray sky and a dank mountain forest.

I don't wonder what I was looking at at the time?

Then I heard the little princess sigh: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's only near dusk."

Suddenly, I understood.

The girl's princess worked so hard just to watch the sunset in peace.

I don't know why such a petite little girl, the beautiful scenery has not yet arrived, why would she sing such a helpless sentence for the twilight in front of the beautiful scenery?

Is it because she foresaw that her future self would experience so much cruelty and betrayal, crisis and assassination. It was only two decades old, and she was about to begin to wither and die?

I don't know.

I think I really shouldn't be running around, I might as well just go back and sleep.

I turned around and was about to go down the mountain, but I saw a thin golden line rising from the dark blue sky in the east, red and translucent, and then slowly breaking through the clouds, and the fireball rose in an instant, colorful and bright If splendid.

At this moment, the layers of peaks and peaks were dyed with roses, which coincidentally overlapped with what Xiao Xiangyi had seen many years ago.

It's just... I saw the sunset in the west back then, but now I can see the east is red.

He seemed to think of a sentence: "His Royal Highness always saves people with evil, but I don't know that this heart often sees perfection, the world is a world without defects, this heart is always relaxed and peaceful, and the world is free from danger. ."

It wasn't until the surrounding light became brighter that I realized that I was in a maple forest at the moment, and my eyes were full of maple red blooms. A strange emotion grew in the bottom of my heart. Even the air is warmed up.

The mountain wind just blew past, blowing the maple tree rustling, and I was distracted. I paused and walked towards the tallest tree.

It turns out that when feelings are brewing strong, IQ must be dull.

So when I stepped on the air, my whole body was light, and then I fell heavily into the big hole in the ground, I once again remembered a sentence-those who have fallen in the same place twice are alive is a miracle.

I patted my **** and looked around at the big pit full of leaves. I didn't see any sharp bamboo tips. This trap is not used to catch flying insects and beasts. The possibility of finding that he died of starvation on the barren hills is not small.

I tried to shout azuo a right...and no one was there. I'm still holding on to the luck of their especially loyal patron who would rather die from overwork and secretly follow me... It seems that I really went to sleep...

I sigh, it's the same today, let alone back then.

Xiang Yi, who is still so young, has nothing to do except keep crying for help, scratching the stone wall with her little hands and falling to the ground.

To make matters worse, I saw the sun set, the sky was dark, and the night was even colder in the mountains. I could only squat and hold my knees tightly. .

Until I heard a boy's voice: "Who's crying down there?"

I shuddered as if I heard the sound of nature, and said with a cry: "I, I am below!"

A head popped up from above, but couldn't see it clearly because of the dim moonlight, "Who are you?"

"I'm..." At that time, I was vigilant and thought, what if it was a thief, so I said: "I'm... the maid in the palace... I accidentally fell so far... You, can you save me?"

The boy snorted and said, "Yes."

I shouted: "Then jump down!"

Boy: "...I don't have a rope in my hand, you wait for me to go down the mountain to get..."

I asked anxiously, "How long will it take you to go down the mountain and then go up the mountain?"

"Two hours."

Leave me alone for so long? What if a passing tiger lion eats me? I panicked: "No. No, no, no, no, no, you, you have to stay." If there are beasts left, maybe they will eat you up first, so you don't have to eat me. I thought so.

The boy said helplessly: "My skill is not enough to jump off to save you, little sister."

"But, but I am alone, I will be afraid, I will be cold, I will be sleepy, so cold and so sleepy, if I fall asleep, I will not wake up. You, you stay and watch me and talk with me , when it's dawn, the sun comes out, and I'm warm, you can go to find the rope, okay?"

A thick padded jacket covers my face.

The boy said: "Put it on. You obviously don't dare to be alone, there are so many excuses."

I agree.

I happily put on my jacket, which made me feel a lot warmer. Looking up, the boy seemed to be sitting on the edge of the pit, showing a little corner of his clothes. He didn't move for a long time, and he didn't know what he was doing.

I thought about it and said, "Hey, why are you on the mountain so late?"

He said: "Hey what, rude little girl."

Me: "But you didn't tell me your name."

He said: "It's not big or small to call your name, little sister, just call me big brother."

This is clearly taking advantage of others. I did not show weakness: "Why? Maybe you are younger than me."

He laughed and said, "I'm seventeen, how about you."

I snorted.

Seeing that I didn't respond, he stuck out his dark head again and said, "Is there nothing to say? Why don't you shout big brother?"

"I don't shout." I raised my head vigorously, "I'm not a girl who recognizes her brother everywhere."

"Then I won't save you."

"...don't shout."

"Then I'm leaving."

“…”

……

"Big brother, big brother, big brother!"

Then a hearty laugh, "What a naughty little girl."

I snorted again and walked around in the pit restlessly, but I heard him say: "You, stay honest, or you will really fall asleep when you are tired."

I pouted, thinking it was unfair, I knew exactly why he was looking at it. After thinking about it again, I was still covered with gauze, and he couldn't see what I looked like, so he couldn't help but feel proud.

As the night was long, I sat bored and said, "Big brother, tell me a story."

Perhaps it was very pleasing to my ears, he said in a good tone: "Okay."

I bow my head obediently.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who climbed a mountain and fell into a trap."

Me: "..."

He: "..."

I gritted my teeth: "...and then?"

"No more." He said, "Because she never climbed out again."

Me: "..."

————————————Fourth Update————————————

I stomped my feet in anger, and was about to start cursing, but something hot hit my head. I reached out and touched it. It was actually a pancake, and it was a little hot. A voice came from above my head: "Light a fire for you. Bake the pancakes hot, you can eat them without fear of the cold, if you are not cold or hungry, you might as well take a break.”

I swallowed my saliva. I was afraid that I didn't feel hungry all the way. Now I feel hungry when I see the food, so I can't even think about whether the pie falling from the sky might be a trap. In a moment, a piece of pie was put into the belly, and warm currents rushed into my heart.

I lay obediently on top of the pile of leaves, and I couldn't help but guess who the big brother above was. Although he likes to scare people, he will occasionally have a few words with me. , makes me feel that I am not alone, and that anxiety and fear slip away without realizing it. From this point of view, I should be a good-hearted person.

I fell asleep thinking about it.

When I woke up, the stars and the full moon were long gone, and there was no light in my eyes. Opening and closing my eyes a few times made no difference. I almost thought I was blind.

I shouted a few times: "Big brother!"

Quietly.

I stood up in fright and shouted, "Big brother! Are you there?"

It was still dead silent, as if there was no living thing around.

He's gone.

Fear spreads all over the body along the darkness.

He actually left while I was sleeping?

I subconsciously wipe my tears over and over with the back of my hand, trying to calm myself down. But the darkness devours endlessly, how can we stop crying? Endless grievances came surging, and finally I squatted down and couldn't help crying.

I cried for a long time, for a long time, until I was so dizzy when I cried, there was a clattering sound in my ears.

I raised my head in response, but the lashes of the strong light thorns closed.

It turned out that before I knew it, I cried until dawn.

After I got used to it slowly, I opened my eyes again, and I saw countless maple leaves swirling in the light, falling down like red butterflies.

Afterwards, a figure penetrated the light and jumped down from the entrance of the hole. The blue cloth robes floated in the air with countless brilliance lingering, and the style was truly magnificent. Even though I couldn't see the person coming against the light, I knew it was him.

For a time, my heart was beating like a drum, my eyes were full of confusion and confusion, and I let the maple leaves fall between the buns, shoulders, and the tip of my heart.

I thought to myself, it would be great if time could stop abruptly at this moment.

But... now I can't help but see the memory stuck here.

No matter how bad my fate is, I have to recall what it was like to be born to my heart-wrenching big brother over the years.

I leaned against Shibi and sighed.

The person who came to pick me up in the palace at dawn didn't see me. I'm afraid that the assassin on King Kang's side should be ready to move again. If I were to light a fire and create smoke to make people find my traces, would the first person to find me be an enemy or a friend?

Can't take this risk, the stakes are too big.

How can I escape this cave with my own power?

I stomped my feet in dismay. Why did I think about everything else, but I kept putting myself in a crisis because of what big brother and what memories were so messed up?

I raised my head helplessly, looking at the clear sky above, I suddenly wanted to ask the sky, why is there a layer of sadness pouring out of my heart in such a sunny season? Why does it make me forget the people I loved deeply when I was young? Why did the people I depended on later forget me? Why can't I feel the warmth of my family when I return home? Why should even the last shred of friendship and trust be destroyed? Why can't I get a moment of peace after all that I've been through? Why do you always force me to be in such a situation, and make me think that I can't find someone I can rely on?

I grabbed my chest and lowered my head. I just felt that my stomach was full of grievances, and there was nowhere to vomit and nowhere to talk. I really wanted to ask God, can you give me someone to save me, no matter who it is? Whether it is a man or a woman, an old man or a child, no matter who it is, even if there is only one, one can treat me sincerely, be sad for my sadness, and be happy for my joy, at least let me not feel that there is only one person in this world. I am alone. If there is such a person who truly loves me, even if he dies of poisoning six months later, I will have no regrets or regrets.

While I was thinking this way, I heard the rustling of leaves again.

The same voice as memory.

However, I stared blankly at the red maples in front of me, but I didn't have the courage to look up.

I'm afraid it's just a gust of wind blowing leaves, I'm afraid these are just empty joys. I waited and waited for a moment, but it seemed like thousands of years had passed, until I heard that hoarse and low voice: "Princess."

Familiar and fascinating.

I looked up in disbelief, looked up, and waited for the blurred vision to gradually become clear, so clear that I could clearly see the face of the person in front of me, so clear... In this cave, the same person.

This is a man of extreme elegance with eyes that can be intoxicated at a glance.

This, the man who rushed down the mountain overnight to get a rope and come back to save me while I was asleep.

Here, dry my tears and put candy in my mouth like a conjuration man who makes fun of me for being a coward.

This is the man who promised me a lifetime of commitment, but made me wait under the maple tree all night but couldn't wait.

This makes me miss the man who disturbed my life again after five years.

This is the man I've tried so hard to grab, but I've been indifferent to me and made me cry again and again.

The past was like a tidal wave, and he brushed my face with his generous palm, as if frightened, or as if he was afraid of frightening me, and asked at a loss: "Why are you crying? Where? Did you fall? Where does it hurt?"

When the rain was wet and the dust was light, when the red maples fell, it seemed that only me and Song Lang were born between heaven and earth, above the clouds.

The tears seemed to be endless, and the heartbeat seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. I opened my mouth several times, but I didn't know what to say.

What should I say?

Should I say, did you know that I was the little sister of the year, and that picking honey was just the maid I sent to inform you that I would be late?

Should I say, do you know how scared and helpless I am, where have you been for so long?

Or should I say, do you know that I have fallen again, once again, and once again want to abandon everything and just grow old with you like this?

Then I felt his trembling arms wrap my head tightly in his arms, and said softly, "It's okay, it's okay, you're okay."

I wrapped my arms around his waist unconsciously and said slowly, "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for what?" He cupped my face suspiciously and touched my hair, "Why did you suddenly apologize to me?"

Tears welled up again, and I couldn't hear any sound again, lest it was just a dream of Nanke, and there was an impulse that I couldn't help myself.

I stood on tiptoe, and instead of asking him to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, I put my arms around his neck and made him bend slightly.

Before he could react to what I was going to do, I resolutely, with the last bit of strength in my body, kissed his lips.

Sorry for not recognizing you for so long, big brother.
