I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 29
Blood seeped out, dyeing the feathers red. Shen Jiajia’s eyes were also blood red, and his head seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer.
“What’s the matter!” Shen Chukuai drew a knife to block in front of his daughter, looked over, and saw a forest on the opposite side. The murderer must have been hidden in the wood. He wanted to arrest someone, but worried about his daughter. The sour bird was nailed to the ox cart, and his death was tragic, and his heart was inevitably sad for a while. Recalling that although this bird occasionally babbles nonsense, Sanniang has indeed become more lively every day since she got this bird as company, and now it is gone.
At this time, two people appeared from nowhere on the side of the road, and they swarmed up to look at Xie Chengfeng’s body. One said, “This is the favorite thing of the eldest princess. What should I do now that it is dead?” The other said, “The murderer must be caught so that we can explain it.” They both ran to the woods together.
Shen Chukuai pulled out his **** with one hand, Shen Jiajia held Xie Chengfeng tremblingly, his body was still hot, his eyes were not closed, and there was still a weak light in his eyes. He opened his mouth and said two words vaguely.
Shen Chukuai asked, “What did it say?”
Shen Jiajia didn’t answer. But she heard him say, “Don’t cry.”
Only then did she realize that she was already in tears.
Shen Chukuai held the knife vigilantly, for fear that there would be another cold arrow, he was not sure if there was still an ambush ahead, and now he should change his route. When he was at a loss, he suddenly saw a group of men and horses passing by on the official road. The head was beautiful and dressed in plain clothes. It was Zhou Xiaolangjun, Zhou Luo, who had recently lost his mother.
Shen Chukuai looked behind him and saw many people crowding a carriage containing a coffin, and knew that Zhou Luo was returning home with a coffin.
Shen Jiajia also saw Zhou Luo, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she ran to him with Xie Chengfeng in her arms.
Zhou Luo didn’t expect to meet Shen Jiajia here. When he saw the girl stumbled towards him, he quickly stopped the horse for fear of hurting her. When she got closer, he realized that her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears.
“what happened to you?”
“Jun Xiaolang, can you take me to the palace of the long princess?”
“I ordered someone to take you there.”
“No, you have to go in person.”
“But I…”
“I beg you!”
Zhou Luo met her pleading gaze and softened for a while, “Come up.”
Shen Jiajia had never ridden a horse before, and he couldn’t even mount a horse. Zhou Luo knew it at a glance, so he reached out to her. He held her hand and mentioned it, and she took advantage of it to get on the horse.
The first thing to do when getting on the horse was to stuff Xie Chengfeng into Zhou Luo’s arms.
Zhou Luo: “…”
If someone usually put a dead bird in his arms, he would have lost his temper. But now Shen Jiajia looked anxious, excluding the possibility of her sudden hysteria, she probably did have something to hide, so Zhou Luo endured it, and just frowned and supported her body, “Don’t move.”
Shen Jiajia’s mind is full of Xie Chengfeng. Although this is the first time to ride a horse, he has forgotten his fear and just kept urging Zhou Luo: “If you have a job, Xiaolang-jun, please hurry up.”
hurry up…
Finally at the gate of the eldest princess’ mansion, Shen Jiajia jumped off the horse, Zhou Luo thought it was enough for him to be sent here, and was about to return the dead bird to Shen Jiajia, who knew that she saw him leaving, so she grabbed his wrist in a hurry, ” Please also ask Xiaolang-Jun to come with me.”
In fact, her request from the beginning was too much, and Zhou Luo couldn’t explain why she didn’t refuse. Maybe it was because she helped him catch his mother’s murderer after all, or maybe it was because of those pleading tearful eyes.
In short, he really followed Shen Jiajia into the eldest princess mansion.
The guard of the eldest princess has been told that if Shen Sanniang comes, she can come and go at will. Today’s guard happens to be the person from last time and knows Shen Jiajia, so she nodded and let go. Shen Jiajia led Zhou Luo all the way into the long princess mansion, and went straight to Xie Chengfeng’s room.
Arriving in the room, Shen Jiajia slammed the door open, the room was very quiet, Xie Chengfeng lay quietly on the bed, Shen Jiajia pulled Zhou Luo to his bed, and put the bird corpse beside him.
Zhou Luo: ? ? ?
He was a little suspicious now, maybe Shen Sanniang was indeed hysterical.
“What, what is this for?” Zhou Luo asked.
Yeah, what do you do? What can they do? That weird idea was just her unilateral guess, and in fact she didn’t dare to write it like that. What can she do other than whimsical?
Xie Chengfeng on the bed was motionless and showed no signs of waking up. Shen Jiajia tentatively asked Zhou Luo, “How about you touch his head?”
Zhou Luo looked at Shen Jiajia with caring eyes, “Shen Sanniang, are you okay?”
“I’m fine, I’m not crazy, don’t worry. Xiao Langjun, please touch his head.”
Zhou Luo reluctantly touched Xie Chengfeng’s head. If Xie Chengfeng was awake at this moment and knew that he touched his head, he might be able to kick him flying.
Xie Chengfeng didn’t move, Shen Jiajia didn’t give up, “How about you touch other places?”
Zhou Luo couldn’t take it anymore, “Shen Sanniang, wake up!”
Yeah, wake up! He is dead and can’t come back. That daring conjecture is also limited to conjecture. he died…
Shen Jiajia slumped on the ground, leaning her head against the bed, and started crying.
Zhou Luo didn’t expect her to cry like this for a man, he asked her, “Who is he to you?”
“I’m sorry, I want to be alone.”
“I thought…” Zhou Luo thought about the way she stared at him that day, her eyes were straightforward and magnanimous, but it made him a little flustered. After that, he would also think of her, but he was occupied by his mother’s death for most of these days, sad and numb, and the occasional charming in his heart seemed out of place, as if thinking of her was a crime.
Shen Jiajia looked up at him.
Zhou Luo laughed self-deprecatingly, “It’s nothing. I’m leaving.”
He left the room and closed the door, and when he looked up, he saw that there were people standing outside. The eldest princess and his wife were all there, Zhou Luo stepped forward and saluted, explaining in a few words.
When the eldest princess heard that she didn’t even have a bird son, she fainted and fell into her husband’s arms.
Everyone was in a hurry, and they quickly sent the eldest princess back to ask the doctor.
In Xie Chengfeng’s room, there was no one else around Shen Jiajia, she cried more and more wantonly, her forehead was pressed against the bed, and she couldn’t cry.
Crying and crying, she suddenly felt a palm covering her head and patted it lightly.
Shen Jiajia was crying so hard, her mind was dazed, she raised her head blankly and looked at the person on the bed.
The man lying on the bed was looking at her quietly with a pair of smiling eyes.
