Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other - Chapter 46

My heart suddenly seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, and I almost suffocated with an unprecedented pain.

“Young Master!” Xiuzhu’s hoarse cry cut through the silent night sky.

However, the person who was passed by the sharp arrow just stopped for a moment. The next moment, Song Langsheng drew out his dagger and turned around to block the successive arrows.

On the top of the slope, there were dozens of cavalry holding long bows, pulling strings in this direction and shooting arrows. In anxiousness, Xiu Zhu flew forward and swung his sword to prevent Song Langsheng from attacking more. However, the number of visitors was There are so many that can’t last long.

My heart was empty, and when I realized what had happened, people rushed to his side to support him. His face was extremely pale, and he couldn’t even stand firmly. My upper and lower teeth slammed uncontrollably.” I, I’ll talk to them, you, you…”

“Their target is us,” he panted extremely hard, the blood on his chest was soaked in half of his shirt, “Princess… you go first.”

How could I go first?

I turned back and stood in front of him, clutching his sleeve tightly, “I’m not going.”

Song Langsheng blocked the sharp arrow with his backhand. Seeing that he couldn’t get away from me, he hurriedly said in vain, “I won’t die, you hide aside first.”

“I do not believe.”

“Atang,” he suddenly called my name, and a wave of waves appeared in his distracted eyes, “this time, you must believe me.”

After he said this, he pushed me down the grass with brute force. My center of gravity was unstable and I couldn’t grasp anything. After rolling ten laps, I stopped. As soon as I stopped, without thinking about it, I immediately got up and climbed back up.

I don’t believe him, I never believe him. Just today, he said that it was the last time he called my name, but he broke his promise, and he called me like that. He said he was going to sever my kindness, but he still broke his promise. , This moment of life and death, he has forgotten all the words he has said.

If he just died like this… what should I do?

Just imagine it like this, I am so broken and unable to breathe, the love and hatred for him have long been intertwined, almost tearing me to pieces.

When I saw them again, Xiu Zhu also hit an arrow in his leg, and the number of random arrows he could resist became more and more limited. Song Langsheng also hit an arrow in his right arm, which had been replaced with his left hand. He is not a left-handed, and his body is at the end of a powerful crossbow, how can he flexibly pick up this untold rain of arrows?

Let’s die together.

Anyway, I am already deep in the mud.

When I closed my eyes and hugged him, this thought occupied all my emotions and reason.

The wind whipped up the grass, and after a while, the wind passed and the leaves fell.

All the sounds stopped, including the swish of arrows.

I opened my eyes in disbelief, turned my head, and saw that the soldiers shooting arrows had turned off their horses and fell to the ground.

what happened?

In the faint moonlight, I saw swordsmen dressed in the costumes of the guards of the princess mansion running towards us.

“Young Master, Young Master!”

“Little Lord……”

“Little Lord!!”

“…Princess,” Song Langsheng’s body fell softly on top of me, “You…how…always disobedient…” His voice became lower and lower, and finally he couldn’t say anything, no more. sound.

“Song Langsheng?” I opened my eyes quietly, not daring to catch his breath, for fear that I could not catch a trace of breath, “Song Langsheng!”

“Young Master is not dead yet.” Xiu Zhu stepped forward and took his pulse. “Princess, if you hold Young Master again, I’m afraid I won’t be able to save him.”

At this time, a few other people also rushed to our side, and I let go of my hand with tears in my eyes, “You, did you save him?”

“Xiu Zhu’s family has practiced medicine for three generations. He is the best doctor.” The man named Maolin knelt down and carefully helped Song Langsheng up. Xiu Zhu slowly cut off the wooden arrow body that was inserted into Song Langsheng’s body with a short knife. , Took out a silver needle with a square cloth from his sleeve and applied a few acupuncture points, which really slowed the speed of blood flow.

A cold sweat broke out on Xiuzhu’s forehead and said, “You have to find a safe place to take out the arrow for the young master. It will be too late.”

“There is a farmhouse not far from here,” Maolin said, “it should be temporarily safe there.”

The moon is as cool as snow, the moon sleeps alone, the first snow is falling, and the snow is pressing down on the house.

The hut was not big and could not accommodate too many people. Song Langsheng’s other subordinates wandered around outside the hut on pins and needles, and I was the only one who was stunned to enjoy the snow.

What Maolin said was true, Xiuzhu was indeed a good doctor, and he pulled Song Langsheng back from the ghost gate for two hours.

I squatted outside the hut and watched snow begin to fall from the sky, spreading on the faint green grass.

These two hours are the most tormenting moments in my life.

I thought about a winter of a certain year when a blizzard fell in the capital. I was trapped in the palace by heavy snow and couldn’t return home. I didn’t return to the princess mansion for two days. Unexpectedly, that night, Song Langsheng appeared in front of me with falling snow.

I asked him in surprise: “Why are you here with such a heavy snowfall?”

The snow is thick enough to bare the wheels of a carriage. How did he get here?

He sneezed several times and muttered unhappily, “You are not going home.”

I hugged him like a block of ice, and said with distress and joy: “You are really…”

What a fool.

Maolin pushed out the door and said quietly: “The young master is okay. Fortunately, the arrow is not in the right position. It should be fine for a few more days to recuperate.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They didn’t dare to enter the house to disturb them, and continued to guard outside the house to prevent the chasers from finding it. Seeing me standing up, Maolin hesitated a little, “Come in, princess.”

I passed him into the room, and Song Langsheng was quietly closing his eyes and going to bed at this moment, with a weak breath.

I slowly sat next to him, staring at his face quietly, with a quiet look under his long eyelashes. This look is neither like the thunderous and resolute Dali Temple officials in the past, nor is it like the unruly courtiers. The thief, all of his is incomprehensible and untouchable, but he is always attracted without knowing it, intoxicated without knowing it.

Suddenly, I felt a little absurd. The princess was hiding in this dilapidated cottage with the rebels, and the thieves were guarding the door to protect their safety.

At this time, Xiuzhu came out of the back room and saw me sitting by the bed. He was not surprised to see me sitting by the bed. He took a basin of water to wash away the blood in his hands. I let out a long sigh, “Xiuzhu, thank you. “

Xiuzhu was stunned, “No, the savior is my duty…”

“Thank you for letting me follow and hear the news that he is safe.” I lowered my head. “From your point of view, it’s pretty good not to kill me.”

When Song Langsheng passed out, some people even wanted to chop me off. Xiuzhu not only stopped me, but also told them that the young master meant to let me go.

But I insisted on letting them come here.

“I’m just acting according to the young master’s will. On the contrary, from the perspective of the princess, I didn’t take the opportunity to kill the girl picking honey, which is also very good.” Xiu Zhu smiled faintly, he also injured his leg, and walked away. It’s not easy to get out, so I asked him, “How about picking honey?”

“Unconscious and not awake, but…” Xiuzhu looked back at the back room, meaning something, and there was something in the words, “Sooner or later I should wake up.”

I nodded in a daze, “Yes, I should wake up sooner or later.”

“Is the princess referring to picking honey or the young master?”

I seemed to wake up from sleepwalking, “I’m talking about myself.”

This big dream should wake up.

At the time of life and death, all follow the heart, just for no regrets or regrets.

After life and death, everything is restored to the same level as before, and what should be faced has to be faced.

No matter what the reason is, no matter what the truth is, no one can change anything now, nothing can be restored.

Just as I was born as Princess Xiangyi, the status of his former imperial heir will never be changed.

We cannot go back to the past, nor can we have a future.

No one can bridge this gap.

Even if I am willing to believe him.

Believe that he loves me, believe that he never wants to hurt me.

Xiuzhu seemed to understand what I said, and didn’t seem to understand anything. He said, “When it’s dawn, we will take the young master and leave, but this time, I’m afraid we can’t take the princess.”

I nodded, “I know.”

Xiuzhu saw that I was so innocent, Yomo was a little surprised, “The princess has nothing to tell the young master?”

Tell? Tell him what? Tell him, I already believe that he didn’t poison me at that time, but I was still poisoned after all, I’m afraid I won’t live for a few more days? Or tell him that the person I confessed to was him on the top of the mountain?

If it hadn’t passed tonight, maybe I would.

But I saw his heart, how can I bear to break it again?

Thinking of this, I smiled a little relieved, “You tell him that I came under your hostage, although I was to save his life, but it is also based on the former love. Now he is safe and sound in the past. For example, he died yesterday. Seeing each other in battle, no one needs to show mercy anymore.”

Xiuzhu looked at me with a strange look, “The princess really wants me to convey this?”

I said: “This is a fact.”

Xiuzhu was silent for a moment, and sighed, “In fact, sometimes, you think that you are doing good for others, but if you have wronged yourself, how can people who value you be really good?”

My heart trembled, but he couldn’t say much after all. He looked up at the snowflakes flying in the sky outside the window, falling from the boundless void, “Mei Huaxue, Li Huayue.”

I looked at him blankly.

“One time, the young master suddenly chanted this poem.” He chuckled a little, and he didn’t know why he laughed. “I didn’t understand before, but today, it seems to be clear.”

“Mei Huaxue, Li Huayue, always lovesickness…”

“Since the spring comes, I don’t know it.”

I read this poem a little unconsciously, like a wind, gently blowing across my already stagnant heart pool, ripples appearing in circles.

Plum blossoms in the snow, pear blossoms under the moon, lovesickness has never been broken.

The days of being together in spring passed unconsciously, and it was hard to separate each other until they were separated.

————————————————– —————-

In the middle of the night, Song Langsheng took the medicine and the fever gradually subsided. After reassuring his mind, the tiredness struck with him for a day. I don’t know when I fell asleep on his bedside.

I slept peacefully this night without dreams. I haven’t had such a comfortable sleep for too long.

The cold snowflakes were blown into the house by the wind and landed on my cheeks. When I opened my eyes again, the golden sunlight sprinkled in the house from the sky, while the white and velvet snow still rose and drifted with the wind.

It’s the sun and snow.

The scenery is so beautiful, I can’t help but want to turn my head to see Song Langsheng.

However, the bed was empty. I was stunned, and suddenly got up and walked around the wall to take a look. I didn’t even see the honey picking in the back room. I opened the door. The sky and the earth were silvery white, and the whole cottage was empty.

They are gone.

I looked back at the charcoal fire still burning in the house, and for an instant I felt like a world away.

Although I was ready, but at this moment, the lingering pain once again grabbed my heart, and the familiar pain came back. When the blood was vomited, I couldn’t help but smile slightly.

The end is approaching.

When I came here in my life, even if I didn’t want to let it go, I had to let it go.

I closed my clothes, stepped on the thick snow, and walked back to Beijing step by step.

The north wind was bitter, and even though the day was bright and beautiful, it still couldn’t resist the chill that invaded the body.

It was still early, and the reflections of the branches and branches overlapped on the wilderness road. I thought of the poem by Song Langsheng, and imagined him chanting the poem. It was a bit funny. After laughing, I couldn’t help the poetry.” The breeze shook the trees, and the fine snow fell under the curtains. The lingering air turned like fog, and the condensed steps were like flowers…”

“I don’t see Yang Liuchun, I only see Gui Zhibai. No tears are inhumane, and there is no benefit to love.” Someone slowly continued behind me.

I turned my head, but seeing Xiuzhu jumped down from a horse and walked up to me, I asked in amazement, “Why are you here? What happened to Song Lang?”

Xiu Zhu shook his head, “The young master is not yet awake, I came to the princess by myself.”

I waited quietly for the latter part of Xiuzhu.

Xiu Zhu took out a dagger from his sleeve, which Song Langsheng held last night. He handed it to me and said slowly: “I think the young master intended to give this dagger to the princess.”

I took the dagger, and the golden sheath reflected the sun’s brilliance and gave out a dazzling brilliance, but the sword body had been worn out, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out, “You just went back to give this to me?”

“The incident happened suddenly last night, and I only thought about how to save the young master, but left the matter behind,” Xiuzhu said slowly: “I was on my way again early this morning, and when I walked out for a while, I thought of the young master last night. In order to find this sheath almost lost its life, it must be an extremely important thing, so I took it out and examined it carefully. Unexpectedly, I found something in the dagger sheath…”

When he said this, I also found a very regular round slit on the top of the dagger sheath, which was unscrewed along the slit. As expected, there was a hidden secret inside, and there was something wrapped in silk in the secret. , I poured my brain out and opened the silk, only to see a pill lying in the handkerchief.

“This is……”

Xiuzhudao: “This is the antidote for Wang Hun San.”

It was like a thunder in the winter, bombarding the empty heart without warning.

I was stiff, remembering all the past, a truth that I dared not face was ready to come out, “Wang Hun San…is there an antidote?”

“Yes.” Xiuzhu said: “Wang Hun San was originally a poison to control people in their hands. This medicine is mostly deadly when it is made. In order to achieve their own goals, the poisoner will first make people lose their memory. As soon as the day arrives, if the poisoned person is still valuable, the poisoner can use the antidote in exchange for what they ultimately want.”

So, last night, he even ignored his own life for this antidote. Was it… to save me?

why? Didn’t he hate me?

Hesitating between his chest and thinking repeatedly, he waited until Xiuzhu slowly said: “There are some things that I didn’t want to say. After all, the princess is a hostile relationship with us, and I also have my own selfishness…” He smiled faintly. “Actually, I saw the princess two years ago. Two years ago, on the top of the mountain, the princess saw the young master and the gang brothers gathering, and was attacked and fainted. I hit the sword.”

My heart trembled.

Xiuzhu said: “I was originally Xia Yanghou’s staff, but I was later assigned to Master Fengli to do things for him. It was not someone else who caught the princess that night, but Master Fengli. Before the young master came, I would give the princess clothes. It’s not someone else who is going down Wang Hun San, it’s Young Master Feng.”

“Let the princess forget the soul, it is really what Hou Ye meant. He prepared a poison for the young master and the young master, the purpose is to test whether they really want to be the enemy of the princess.”

“The princess was hit by Young Master Feng, and the young master doesn’t know all of this.”

“Later, the young master came here after hearing the wind and forced the princess to take the pill in front of Young Master Feng. At that time, Young Master Feng and I really thought it was Wang Hun San, the young master deliberately put the princess to death.”

“Until the beginning of last month, after the young master learned that the princess was poisoned by the mortal poison of Young Master Feng, he seemed to be crazy, and rushed to Suiyang day and night to go to Lord Hou in exchange for the antidote. I Only then did I know that that night, what the young master took for the princess was not poison, but only to confuse Master Feng and Master Hou.”

Every time Xiuzhu said a word, I felt like my heart was cut by a sharp blade. The small pill was held in the palm of my hand, and it was so hot that it was almost hot to my hands, but there was not even a hint of joy in my heart, “In exchange? What did he use for it? In exchange for the antidote?”

Xia Yanghou has been thinking about it for a long time, how can Song Langsheng say that he can give it if he wants an antidote?

Xiu Zhu shook his head, “How can I know what deal the Young Master and Lord Hou have? It’s just…”

“only?”

“It’s just that the young master worried that Lord Hou was not willing to detoxify the princess, so he asked for two antidote.”

“Why two…” In the middle of the question, the answer quietly came to my mind. For a moment, I couldn’t ask anymore.

Xiuzhu lowered his head and said in a deep voice: “Young Master… he dissipated the forgetfulness in his own hands… After the poison was on, he was in a coma for three days and three nights. At the Young Master’s side, he kept waiting for him according to his words. When he woke up and saw that he lost his memory, it was confirmed that he had been poisoned by Wang Hun San, so he took the antidote.”

The biting cold quickly filled my chest cavity, and I felt my fingers tremble gently, “He did this, if the antidote is not real…”

Xiu Zhu said softly: “I have asked this before, and the young master said that it would be no big deal to accompany the princess to die.”

“Liar.” I yelled out, only to realize that my voice was hoarse, “Isn’t he a former imperial heir? Isn’t he going to avenge his blood? He doesn’t want to plot the whole country…”

“He’s not,” Xiuzhu categorically said, “He doesn’t want to.”

“If he wants to, he won’t wake up, dare not delay for a moment, and rush to the capital day and night.”

“If he wanted to, he wouldn’t care whether his body could withstand the endless turbulence, just to see the princess earlier.”

Xiu Zhu looked at the undulating sky in the distance, “He just didn’t expect that when he returned to the princess mansion with the antidote he had spent his life, what awaited him was the princess’s planned ambush and killing.”

My vision was blurred.

I remembered the letter, the letter that Song Langsheng wrote to me when Song Langsheng left.

He said: I hope you can believe in me no matter what you remember.

But when he rushed to the princess’s mansion yesterday, he still remembered the utter despair when he saw me sink into ruins. What was I doing then? I stood indifferently on a high place and thought, why does he act, and what is his intention?

He said: Since the day Song Langsheng fell in love with Xiao Qitang, his heart has never been shaken.

But I told him that all the courtiers and thieves were punishable by them.

“It’s just that, after last night, I can see that the princess is not so unrelenting to the young master. Although I can’t figure out the joints, there are many things in this world that I can’t just believe on the surface. Smell.” After Xiu Zhu finished what he wanted to say, he stood up and stepped on his horse.

“Who are you?” I was about to leave when I saw him, and I hurriedly stopped him, “Why help me?”

“I am Hou Ye’s staff. I used to be and I am now.”

Xiuzhu tightened his horse’s rein, rode out a few steps, turned around, and said to me: “There is one more thing that I forgot to tell Her Royal Highness. The princess has been deeply poisoned. The pain of the piercing heart lasts for a full day, and after a day, everything that I experienced during the poisoning period will be forgotten, and I will never be able to think of it again in this life, including what I said to the princess today.”

I only feel that the whole body is utterly cold, and Xiu Zhu’s peaceful face seems to hide another soul, “You…”

“Today has been two years since the princess was poisoned. If the princess fails to take the antidote after tonight, then she will really have nothing to do.” Xiuzhu’s voice was hidden in the east wind, “Your Royal Highness…will later… It’s indefinite.”

As soon as the words fell, he spurred the horse, and I wanted to catch up, but my legs were numb, and as soon as I took a step, I knelt on the snow, and watched him in the middle of the snow.

I sat blankly in the snow, looking at the snowy peaks that were not on all sides, as if I had fallen into an ice cellar, and I couldn’t find the warmth anymore.

The meaning of Xiuzhu couldn’t be more obvious.

He was from Xia Yanghou, and he did everything for benefit, not for mercy.

This barren hills and ridges, with a radius of one hundred li, walked all day and night, and I couldn’t find anyone who could help me.

Although this antidote could save my life, taking it also cut off my love for Song Langsheng. When I wake up, I will only remember that Song Langsheng forced me to take poison, and all the goodness he has treated me in the past two years has disappeared, and I can’t remember it anymore.

Everything will be back to the beginning, and I will be full of resentment with the prince brother, to kill Song Langsheng.

And Song Langsheng will completely cut off the last trace of affection with me, and walk on the road he didn’t want to go.

I staggered to my feet, step by step, and walked along the horse Taxuehen where Xiuzhu left.

I must find Song Langsheng.

I still have a lot of things to say to him.

I want to tell him that I am the little sister back then, and I want to tell him that there has never been a person so deeply impressed on my heart like him.

I don’t want to see him hurt anymore, let alone hurt him.

I can’t forget the past two years, and I don’t want to forget… he loves me.

I tightly held the antidote in my hand. The wind and snow whipped me like a whip. Strangely, my confused mood gradually became clear. I kept walking in that direction, wishing to stop time until I found him. until.

Time is constantly passing, and the setting sun is moving straight from the sun, but the snow is getting bigger and bigger and denser, and the world is like a huge white net woven into a huge white net, not to mention the snow marks, even when I look back, even my own footprints There is no trace.

The cold wind is biting, and the wind penetrates my heart like a needle. I can feel that my life is constantly passing by. It is because my reason is constantly telling myself that I must find a place to shelter from the snow and take the antidote, otherwise I am afraid that I will not wait for the poison. Hair, I should freeze to death in this icy world.

I lifted my hand to erase the snow and ice covering my eyes. In the end, the whole person didn’t seem to belong to me. Looking into the distance, the whole sky was glowing with white light, and the soul seemed to float up a moment ago, and then I was covered by this dust. Swallowed by the vastness of whiteness.

I tried to hook the corners of my frozen mouth.

I thought, if Song Langsheng found out that I was frozen to death here after a few days, and let him see that I was smiling at the last moment of my life, would it not be so sad.

As I slumped into the snow, a pair of generous hands firmly supported me.

A piece of fox fur then covered my whole body, with a warm aftertaste, permeating into the limbs.

Before I could see the person coming, I felt lighter, and the whole person was beaten up and hugged me tightly on his chest.

I was dumbfounded, stunned, looking at the blue shirt still faintly oozing blood on my chest, my heart turned into a stream of spring water like the middle of winter, slowly falling from my eye sockets.

There is no need to look up at all, this gentle breath is unique in the world, there is only one person.

When he was thirteen years old, he jumped down from the entrance of the cave, accompanied by chaotic maple leaves, and fell to the helpless girl. Since then, he has fallen on her heart.

He could find her rainbow lantern among the thousands of sky lanterns, and then rescued her from the raging fire, and said magnificently: “I am a great beamer, Song Langsheng! Who dares to stop me? !”

No matter where I am lost, he can always find me.

I slowly raised my head, even though his face was extremely pale and his hair was messed up by the wind, his complexion was still so beautiful.

He walked forward slowly, not knowing where to go. In the cold wind, I was leaning on him, feeling sore and unable to move. After thinking about so many words in advance, I just asked: “How are you… Will it be here?”

“Because you are here.”

His voice is very soft.

There seemed to be something overflowing in my heart, and it seemed to be taken away, “Didn’t you already leave?”

“You are here, where can I go?”

He put his arms around me and pressed against me without leaving a gap.

I didn’t dare to blink, letting my tears drip down in embarrassment, “You… didn’t you hate me so much, why don’t you accompany you to gather nectar, but still come to find me?”

He stopped and stared at me with his eyes down quietly, and then gently and carefully wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.

“My little sister is here, where do you want me to go?”
