Shattered Glass (Shang Li) - Chapter 8

The fire, the continuous fire scorched her whole body with severe pain, and her breathing became so difficult that she was awakened in her sleep and opened her eyes…there was fire everywhere! Even a corner of the bed sheet ignited a flame, and the churning air distorted the scene in front of him.

Help! help me!

Her voice was choked, and she couldn’t make a sound for the first few times, and she was so anxious that she would jump out of her voice.

Help! Help!

She finally yelled out, hoarse, but-no one came to save her! She fell into the flames in despair, alone and helpless. That kind of despair, helplessness on the verge of death… made her heart burst. She knows that no one will come, she can only rely on herself! When she restrained her fear and ran towards the front line of life with her weakened legs, only she could understand the loneliness of sorrow. Seeing the starry sky shining with fire, she looked at the twinkling stars behind the hot air, she was saved! A section of the flaming beam fell down, and she instinctively blocked it with her arm…

pain! She hurts beyond words!

Save me, who can save me? !

In the fear and pain, although knowing that no one will come, and no one can protect her, she still hopes mournfully… someone can give her a hand, have an embrace that makes her cry, someone can take care of her and she is already burnt. Wounds.

No… never.

She curled up in a corner of the yard trembling. The **** chief who came to hear the news just glanced at her and said, “Just run out.” No one paid attention to her pain, no one comforted her fear, everyone did. Busy to fight the fire, she was forgotten and shivered in that dark corner.

Orphan…At this moment, she felt the bitterness of this word most deeply.

She hugged her legs tightly, and her whole body shrank into the smallest ball. Tears flowed from her burnt face and stinging. Her jaw trembled so badly that she even clucked her teeth. With all her remaining hope, even though it was already faint as sparks in dead ashes, she still stared at the door of the yard, hoping that someone would come… to rescue her. I hope that the next person who comes in through the door will come to her.

Help me…Help me!

What she begged to be saved was her heart that had been burned through by loneliness and despair.

“Meiligege! Meili!”

Someone grabbed her arms and shook them. Her eyes were scorched by the heat and couldn’t see clearly. Is the one she longing for to save her coming? ! Tears filled her, and she couldn’t even see the person’s face.

“It’s on fire! It’s on fire! I am hurt! My arm hurts!” She cried, and finally someone could hear her say this. Even if she is not comforted or protected, it is good to be able to hear her talk about the fear and pain in her heart.

“Miri, there is no fire! There is no fire!”

She stubbornly grasped the man’s hand, tears rippling, “Take me away! Take me out of here!”

“You have a nightmare, open your eyes and see, you are safe!”

Safety? She shivered and closed her eyes to look around…Where is this? She was puzzled for a while. She saw several guards with amazement, holding a torch in one hand and a knife in the other, all looking at her weirdly.

She shuddered and slowly regained consciousness. This is the tent in the paddock… She saw the person who came to save her, but ran into a pair of young and clear eyes with sympathy and pity. The torch dotted his beautiful eyes with a few light spots, like stars reflected in a deep pool.

It’s so beautiful… She was addicted for a while, these were Yong Hyuk’s eyes.

“Where is the assassin?!” Jing Xuan’s cold voice just sounded outside the tent, and the person had already entered, wearing only a short coat casually, and still holding a long sword in his hand.

He glanced at Yong Hyuk and Mi Li on the soft couch blankly, and sneered.

After being stabbed by his cold eyes, she felt that she was still holding Yonghe’s arm, she lowered her head and let go without a trace, but Yonghe didn’t get up, still frowned, sitting thoughtfully By her side.

“Have you caught the assassin?” Even Aunt Yu’an came. Although she didn’t wear jewelry or a formal gown, she was still dressed neatly and dignified when she walked into the tent. In contrast, Mei Li was shocked to realize that she was only wearing close-fitting underwear, her hair was loose, her face was tear-stained, and she was embarrassed.

“It seems…” Jing Xuan coldly glanced at her with her head down, “There are no assassins at all, just shouting in a dream.”

“Hey!” Aunt Yu’an punched her hands and complained slightly, “Mei Li Ge Ge, you scared the ancestors!”

Mei Li looked up at her suspiciously, and she realized, “Am I screaming again?!” She looked at Yong He inquiringly, and Yong He smiled disapprovingly and nodded without reproach.

She exhaled annoyedly. Since the fire, she has always screamed in her dreams. There was nothing when she lived by herself. Now it is a big trouble. It has disturbed the night watchers. I guess there are a few tents around. Her master was awakened by her.

“Mei Li Gege, if you are okay, go to the ancestor’s place to greet you. Her old man heard such a screaming cry in the middle of the night, and was so scared that he was trembling all over, thinking that you were injured by the assassin! Lord, you should also go to the emperor to say something. , I just sent someone to ask what happened. The emperor was so scared that he thought something had happened to the ancestor. You,” Yu’an said with a frown, and glanced at the guards in a daze. What kind of tents are like! Go and talk to the frightened masters, and all sleep at ease.”

The guards backed out angrily, unwilling to their faces, and it was not what they wanted to break in. Hearing Grid yelling so badly, he thought he was dead! The merits were not achieved, and there was still a complaint, injustice!

Mei Li knew that although the aunt didn’t directly talk about her, she was very angry at her troubles. The mother Shen, who always taught her before, told her to go out of the palace. Aunt Yu An didn’t like her before, but now… She’s gone.

Jing Xuan also picked up the curtain annoyingly and went out, Yong He patted her on the shoulder, “I’m on the night tonight, you can call me if you have anything.”

Miri nodded and smiled gratefully at her.

After asking her ancestors to apologize, Mei Li retreated from the tent hall. She looked at the sky full of stars and sighed. She did not dare to sleep again. For fear of coming back, everyone in the camp would be frightened by her.

Yong Hyuk took a team of guards around the main account and patrolled around the main tent. When someone asked, he would roughly deal with a few words. Miri waited for him to approach and blessed him apologetically. She blamed her and caused him a lot of trouble.

“Not going to sleep?” Yonghe waved to the guards behind him to continue the inspection. He led her to a small fire with a kettle hanging on it. He let her sit down and poured a glass of water for her carefully, “Be careful. “

Mei Li sat down, still a little embarrassed, he didn’t think she was kind to her, and made her feel even more embarrassed.

He sat down next to her, seeming to understand her difficulty not going to sleep, “Did you always be like this after the Anning Temple was on fire?” He asked broadly, not like other people, either mocking or obscure, frank. Naturally, she nodded easily. How long has he first been in Beijing, and has he known in such details? It seems that bad things have spread thousands of miles, she smiled silently.

“It’s okay, it’ll be fine after a while. I was scared when I was a kid when I slept, and then I always do this, and I grow up slowly.”

Mei Li smiled and nodded. She likes to chat with Young Hyuk. Although she has not known him soon, she has discovered that he is still as sincere and enthusiastic as a big child, at least his heart is not so crooked, he laughed when he wanted to laugh. , Say whatever you want.

“You grew up outside Guanwai?” Mei Li tried to find a topic.

“Yeah.” Yonghe laughed, his beautiful mouth arched, revealing white teeth, and the smile was clear and clear, making her already overly heavy heart seem to be blown by the warm wind.

This man…If only he never grows up.

She actually sighed like this in his smile instantly. When he grows up, it will change and become… She frowned and skipped the name she didn’t want to think about. Even if she became like Zi Yu, it would be a pity that she wouldn’t have such a pure smile. Up.

Young Hyuk probably also felt that it would be embarrassing if he was silent, so he talked to her about some things outside the customs. Seeing her slowly lowering his shoulders, he worriedly said: “Are you tired?” Without waiting for her to stop him, he has already sent someone. He took a few thick felts and folded them into a high pile, and let her lean against them. Because there is no support, the felt pile cannot stand the weight and will always collapse. He simply sits on the other side to withstand the felt pile and smiles, “Rely on it, it won’t fall this time.”

Mei Li leaned securely on the felt blanket, draped in a thin quilt. She silently looked at the deep starry sky for a long time… She didn’t feel so secure. Although it was only a temporary dependence, she also warned herself not to indulge, but tonight she is too tired, just lean on like this… for a while.
