Chapter 16 Chapter Sixteen

I was floating in the darkness in a daze, hearing the cries of children, I opened my eyes, but I was in a garden full of plum blossoms, a little boy in white was squatting under an old plum tree, crying vigorously , this garden looks a bit like Meixiang Xiaozhu, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, bright red like fire, and like blood dripping, I am a little confused, where is this, I walked over and patted the child: "Uh! I'm so sorry , Where is this place, kid?" The child raised his head, his delicate face was covered with tears, he stopped crying when he saw me, and stood up straight: "Mujin, you are finally here."

Uh? !He recognizes me? He laughed happily, and ran over and threw himself at my feet. This kid is about seven or eight years old. I'm sure I've never seen him before, but the kid's smiling face is familiar, but I can't remember where I saw him However, seeing his innocent and happy smile, I couldn't help laughing: "Little brother, how do you know my name?" The child looked at me but smiled without saying a word. The child became more and more cute, I couldn't help touching his little face. so cold!I shuddered. "Yang'er," came a soft voice suddenly, and the child smiled more happily: "Mother is here."

Yanger?Yanger?What a familiar name! ... My heart skipped a beat! My first reaction was that I was in a dream, and it was most likely a nightmare. The second reaction is that I was talking to the terrifying Yuan Qingwu’s son, but Yang’er’s little hand was holding me with great strength. His face was smiling brightly like the sun. I came to a bridge irresistibly, and it turned out to be Yuan Qingwu, standing in the sun in a plain suit, but washed off the lead, waving to Yang'er gently there, seeing me, a little surprised, but still friendly He nodded to me with a smile, completely lost the hostility in the underground palace, I was dragged by that Yang'er in a daze, he stretched out his hand to hold Yuan Qingwu, Yuan Qingwu said with a smile: "Good Yang'er, good boy ,Let's go together."

"I want Hibiscus to go with us." Yang'er tugged at me, I swallowed dryly, already scared out of my wits, Yuan Qingwu's smile disappeared, looking at Yang'er and me with a trace of worry. "Yang'er, don't mess around," a tall figure came from a distance. Under the backlight of the sun, I couldn't see his appearance clearly. Handsome, Yuan Qingwu called out happily, "Ming Lang." Ming Fengyang pulled Yuan Qingwu and patted Yang'er's head, with a mellow and pleasant voice: "Miss Hua Mujin can't go with us yet, Yang'er, you can't go with your parents either."

"No, I want to be with my father and mother, I want to be with Mujin," Yang'er burst into tears, Yuan Qingwu also covered her face and wept, but the man sighed softly and gently opened Yang'er. I took Yuan Qingwu's little hand, put his little hand into my hand, and then pulled Yuan Qingwu towards the bridge. Ming Fengyang walked halfway, but finally couldn't help turning his head and waving his hands to me, full of deep love and affection, full of reluctance, only then did I realize that his eyes seemed to pass behind me, as if he was looking at me at the same time. I waved behind me.

I turned my head, only to see a woman in pink standing quietly behind me, waving slowly towards the front. There was a sad and relieved smile on her peerless and beautiful face, and I couldn't help pulling Yang'er took three steps back, the face of this woman was exactly the same as the portrait of Mrs. Xie painted by Fei Bai. When she saw me, she also smiled softly. That smile was like the dawn of the morning sun, and the first bloom of the moon. I couldn't help but indulge in this soft smile. I felt infinite warmth. I looked back again. , both Ming Fengyang and Yuan Qingwu disappeared.

"Mujin, don't leave me," Yang'er said to me, he seemed a little afraid of Mrs. Xie, and kept hiding behind me. I patted Yang'er's head, thought for a while, and pulled Yang'er Give Mrs. Xie a blessing: "Hello, Mrs. Xie." Mrs. Xie seemed very happy to see me, smiled softly, stroked Yang'er's head, and didn't speak, but Yang'er still seemed to be very afraid of her, and shrank her arms to hide behind me. Mrs. Xie was not angry anymore, she just glanced at me, turned around and walked forward, I pulled Yang'er to follow her, and kept walking forward, the scenery around me changed, we came to the other side In front of the relief wall of the flying flute dance full of passionflowers, she smiled slightly and handed me a piece of juanzi, which I took over in a daze.The piece of embroidery on the rosewood round table, the embroidered Bingdi passionflower, and a piece of agate jade ring tied to the corner of Juanzi, I looked at her with some puzzlement, her twinkling eyes were so kind, With a touch of sadness, and like a mirror illuminating my soul, the voice was like the rain in March, dripping into my heart: "Thank you, Mujin."

What did she thank me for?I was about to ask a question, but suddenly the sun was hidden by the dark clouds, the red plum blossoms turned black in pain, and the garden suddenly disappeared. Mrs. Xie smiled at me with tears in her eyes, and then disappeared into the high altitude of the flying relief In front of the wall, I turned my head, and the sun in my hand turned into a strange purple passionflower. A piece of darkness hit me, and the surrounding scenery turned into the Xilin full of dense fog. This time, all the big trees in the Xilin?Surrounding the thick vines, the vines are full of weird purple passionflowers, suddenly a vine wrapped around my knees and legs, no matter how hard I struggled, I couldn't break free.

I woke up screaming, my whole body was wet as if I had been fished out of the water. Suddenly a cold female voice came from next to my ear: "Miss, are you awake?" I looked up, and saw a thin person wearing an ordinary cotton white dress, with a white mask on his face, which was exactly the same as the white mask of the Dark God, but it was a lot smaller, and he did less work. Thinking of the dark god, I shivered, and when I turned my head, I realized that I was soaking in a hot spring naked. I yelled and shrank down. The child with the white mask said, "Girl, don't be so cold." I’m afraid, I’m also a girl, this is a hot spring that can cure diseases, you were injured by the magic sound technique, and you also have some stubborn illnesses, you have to soak for another hour before you can come out.”

This is an extremely simple stone room, but... "Who are you? Why am I here?" "Just call me Qin'er." The little girl replied, "It's a servant girl from the Dark Palace. It was the Palace Master who brought you here." "Oh, that's a coincidence, we are colleagues, and we are also a girl. My name is Hua Mujin." I extended my hand in a friendly way, wanting to shake hands with her, and approached her. Unexpectedly, the girl immediately plopped down on her knees: "Girl Whatever you want, just say it, but you have to soak in the hot spring, otherwise all previous efforts will be wasted."

I withdrew my claws embarrassingly, "What kind of person is your palace master?" "My palace master is the master of this dark palace." Qin'er replied obediently, but her voice was still cold and devoid of any emotion. I stared at her dumbfounded, as if I didn't answer, maybe she also noticed my confusion, and added: "The old man in the Zhuangzi on the ground called him the Dark God." Oh!Still the same as no answer. "May I ask why he is so kind to heal my wounds, and has Qin'er seen the third master Bai who came in with me?" I continued my efforts. "The palace master said that you are a very important person and you must not die. As for the third master Bai, I have never seen you." Ok?I described Yuan Feibai's appearance in detail, but Qin'er just shook her head and said she didn't know. In fact, if you think about it, it is probably a vain question. Maybe the dark god forbids this girl to speak out. Is there any danger in the vain? "Qin'er, why do you guys in the dark palace have to wear a mask?" "This is the rule of the ancestors of the Dark Palace. We have been wearing masks since we were five years old." "Then you were born here?" "Ok." "Then who can see your face?" "My parents, palace master, and future husband." The little girl's cold voice gradually became innocent and straightforward. This is more or less like a female saint. No one can see it except the one I like! I said with a smile: "Qin'er, you helped me undress, thank you." Qin'er shook her head and said, "It's not me who undressed the girl, but the Palace Mistress helped you undress." Where did I choke, my face involuntarily darkened: "Is your palace master a man or a woman?" Qin'er's voice even hinted at a hint of a smile: "The Palace Master is naturally a man." Although Feibai is very annoying, he is still a gentleman and possessive. He clearly won't let others touch me, and just now that dark god tapped my acupoints privately. Could it be to use I hijacked Feibai, this Qin'er said that the hot spring has healing effect, maybe it has some terrible purpose. Looking around, there was a change of clothes on the side, I moved my feet, and one leg was able to move, and I regained my smile: "Qin'er, I'm thirsty, can you give me some water, please?" Qin'er turned around to fetch water for me, and I jumped out of the water with one leg, grabbed my clothes, and rushed to the door. Before she went out, she was standing there unable to move, Qin'er knelt there, kowtowed in a voice full of panic: "The villain is wrong, Palace Master, please forgive me, Palace Master, please forgive me." Standing in front of me is the master of the dark palace who loves masquerade balls. The white mask on his face is as cold as ice. When he raised his white hand, the qin fell down limply, and a striking red flowed out from under the white mask. I was shocked. Furious: "You killed her?" The white mask smiled coldly: "Who told you to lie to her for not keeping an eye on you?" Then he picked me up violently, walked back to the hot spring, and threw me into it roughly. I choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and just got up when I didn't expect the white mask to jump into the water too. I tore off the clothes on me, covered my naked body and fled to the other side of the pond, squatting down, and said bitterly: "Beast." The white mask on the opposite side followed closely, pulled away my chest-protecting hands, and pressed them tightly against my body. The white shirt on his body had already been soaked in water, and his tangled muscles were glowing red under the hot spring. The passion flower tattoo on my arm is faintly visible, his hand caresses my skin roughly, I feel his burning desire, the tears of humiliation can no longer be restrained, and I instinctively shouted: "It's not for nothing I." As soon as the words came out, I was also surprised, did I experience too much with Yuan Feibai in the past few days?So you will unconsciously call his name? "You really are just as easy-going as your sister, I always thought you were thinking about the four idiots of the Yuan family?" The white mask's voice was full of sarcasm: "Chao Qin Muchu, now you have put your heart on Yuan Feibai. Is it?" "You pervert who likes to wear masks and filial piety, do you think that you are a dark god who can control the lives and deaths of others at will?" I yelled angrily, "How old is this girl, and you killed her, didn't you people." "Also, you are not allowed to insult my sister, you beast!" I swung it away angrily, but the dark god didn't dodge or dodge, and the white mask on his face was knocked off by me and fell into the hot spring , bubbling and sinking. I was suddenly shocked. It was an extremely pale face because of the lack of sunlight all year round. It was covered with deep and shallow scars. The deepest scar started from the eyebrows and was deeply carved to the lips. Above, a pair of chestnut pupils, as sharp as the eyes of an eagle, imprinted my panicked face. "Are you afraid?" His tone was full of sarcasm, and he grinned slightly. The scar was crawling on his face like a centipede, and his young face was extremely ferocious: "I'm used to seeing the face of the heavenly man of Mr. Xue Treading, but I don't know what to do in my heart." But trembling because of my face." I also imitated his mocking smile: "The scars on my second brother's body can open a scar exhibition hall. There are more than 260 large and small scars on Xiao Fang's face, head, and body. My eldest brother is naked all day long." The body showed us how many glorious gunshot wounds and knife wounds we had on our bodies, and we all secretly said that the eldest brother actually didn't dare to show himself in the swallow army, and you are ashamed to use your face to scare women."
