【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Wang Kuan opened his eyes. In a trance, he found himself in a simple and clean room. His eyes were dull, looking at the familiar wood carvings in front of him. Sitting up, he staggered out of the room.

The next moment, Wang Kuan's pupils dilated.

Outside the room door, people with yellow hair gossip and talk, and those who chase and run are chubby. Under the shade of the trees, there are laughter and chatter, noisy and lively. Wherever you look, everyone is leisurely and happy.

"Wang Kuan, are you awake?"

A familiar voice came to Wang Kuan's ears with inaudible worry. He looked dully at the source of the sound, but saw a handsome young man in a blue robe walking towards him. Wang Kuan murmured in disbelief. : "Gu Shi?"

Gu Shi walked up to Wang Kuan and said worriedly, "Wang Kuan, how are you feeling?"

Wang Kuan seemed to have never heard of his question, and said to himself in a daze: "This... is Wumu Village?" He grabbed Gu Shi's arm and asked in panic, "Yuan Zhongxin ... Where is Yuan Zhongxin? Where is he?"

Gu Shi looked troubled, and replied honestly: "I don't know, Gu Xi and I were only responsible for going to the upper reaches of the Heihe River to bring you back, and I couldn't see him either."

Wang Kuan tried his best to suppress the panic that was running around in his heart, and asked calmly, "Who are the people who came to Wumu Village? How long have we been here?"

Gu Shi replied truthfully: "Apart from Yuan Zhongxin, there are five of you, and three others I have never seen before. The leader seems to be named Tang Shun. Counting the time you were in a coma, you have been here for almost four days. You were the first to wake up."

It has been four days, and Yuan Zhongxin has been away from his side for four full days.

Where did Yuan Zhongxin go, and what did he want to do?

What did he want to hide from himself!

Even though Wang Kuan racked his brains, he still couldn't come to a conclusion. For Wang Kuan, this cognition was undoubtedly like a heavy palm hitting his mind. Wang Kuan's eyes were so panicked that he couldn't calm down. Think hard.

Gu Shi only felt his arm tightly clamped by Wang Kuan loosen, and then a gust of cold wind passed by, and when he recovered, Wang Kuan, who was still in front of him, had disappeared, and he looked towards the village in surprise. In the direction of the mouth, I hurriedly chased after him: "Wang Kuan! Stop! You can't go yet!"

Wang Kuan's speed was extremely fast, and he was about to rush out of the village. Gu Shi had no time to stop him. His castration, Wang Kuan's eyes darkened, he sideways dodged the sharp blade, and looked at the indifferent Tang Shun with gloomy eyes. He said every word with hatred: "Tang Shun, what are you doing?"

Every word was like an arrow, stabbing Tang Shun, but he was not afraid of the depression in Wang Kuan's eyes, and said indifferently: "I am helping Yuan Zhongxin." When he turned his head to look at Gu Shi, a humble smile appeared on the corner of his mouth : "Brother Gu, Ms. Zhao and the others seem to be waking up soon, Ms. Gu asked you to go in and help prepare the sober medicine."

Gu Shi suddenly realized, looked at the two of them worriedly, and ran back to the village hesitantly after repeated entanglements.

Tang Shun didn't mention Yuan Zhongxin, it was good. Hearing the word "Yuan Zhongxin", Wang Kuan's eyes turned red, he frowned tightly, and it was not difficult to hear the suppressed paranoia in his tone: "Where is he?"

Tang Shun frowned slightly, with fire in his eyes. If he had to put things first, he wanted to fight Wang Kuan hard on the spot, but the timing was not right, so he had to suppress this idea, and finally said patiently: " Yuan Zhongxin is now in the northwestern border of the Song Dynasty, and he will come here to join us in the near future, before that, you all must stay in the Wumu village."

Wang Kuan stared at Tang Shun for a long time, seemingly calm and composed, but in fact, at this moment, his heart was in a mess. Wang Kuan bit the tip of his tongue, and the pain made him wake up a lot: "Why didn't he come to the ebony with us? Zhai?"

Tang Shun's eyes flickered slightly, and it took him a while to say: "He has something to do."

Wang Kuan asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

Tang Shun narrowed his eyes inaudibly: "I am here because I want to tell you Yuan Zhongxin's real plan."

Wang Kuan's breathing froze immediately, and he stared at Tang Shun without saying a word.

With a cold face, Tang Jian took out a piece of letter paper from his chest pocket, secretly exerted some force, threw the letter paper towards Wang Kuan, and said, "Yuan Zhongxin asked me to give it to you." Without going back, he walked towards the village.

Wang Kuan accurately caught the floating letter paper, hurriedly began to read it carefully, his pupils trembled, and a smile uglier than crying appeared on the corner of his mouth, full of bitterness.

The letter contained a simple sentence:

Be good, don't mess around, I'll be back soon.

The handwriting is flying like a dragon and a phoenix, without being restrained by one line and one grid. It is unrestrained, just like the temperament of the writer. Wang Kuan carefully folded the letter paper and put it in his pocket close to his heart. It seems that only in this way can he Feel a little peace of mind.

When Zhao Jian and the others were all awake, Tang Shun called everyone into Gu Shi's room, and told Wang without reservation every move Yuan Zhongxinbu made and every dangerous move he made. wide them.

The five listened in horror, their five pairs of eyes were all red, and every word Tang Shun said was as piercing as a sharp blade of ice, which made them dizzy, tinnitus and dark, the more they listened, the more sad and unbearable they felt, The corners of his eyes were hot, and tears were about to come out of his eyes.

Zhao Jian and the others looked at Wang Kuan subconsciously, but found that the other party was terribly quiet, his face was bloodless, and he was staring at a certain place expressionlessly, his eyes were distracted, lifeless as if his soul had come out of his body, and despair was reborn everywhere, eroding Wang Kuan. All of Kuan's mind and reason, even the light in his eyes went out.

Today's Wang Kuan was hysterical and hopeless even for Jing Jing, which made Zhao Jian's scalp go numb and fearful.

Wang Kuan spoke suddenly, his voice was thin and illusory, as if it was about to be blown away by the wind in the next moment: "Xiaojing, tell me again, what symptoms will you have when the half-life poison occurs?"

Xiao Jing pursed her lips tightly. Wang Kuan's reaction made her terrified, and she didn't dare to tell the cruel fact. She kept shaking her head, choked up and begged: "Brother Wang, don't ask me anymore? Brother Yuan, he It will be fine, you have to trust him..."

Zhao Jian grabbed Wang Kuan's arm nervously, and could feel the coldness emanating from him through his clothes. His heart was beating unceasingly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Wang Kuan, don't think wildly, Yuan Zhongxin wants you Do you remember what he said!"

Tang Shun also felt that something was wrong, so he said calmly, "Wang Kuan, calm down, do you hear me?"

Wang Kuan turned a deaf ear to their words. Now he sees everything in darkness, can't see the way ahead, sees no hope, as if he is in hell, the pain is tearing his body, countless terrifying and ferocious giants The hand dragged his consciousness into the abyss, his mind was split, and he muttered to himself: "Why didn't I notice it earlier?"

Once the poison occurs, the sense organs will completely disappear, and the body will feel like being tortured by Ling Chi.

"Obviously he will be in such pain, why do I still act like a fool and don't know anything?"

"Why am I so stupid?"

He waited for so long, even though he lived in boundless suffering every day, he was willing, but in the end he waited for such a catastrophe.

The heart-piercing pain became clearer and clearer. In the haze, he seemed to see that the heart that had finally gathered together was instantly shattered to the ground, and was ruthlessly crushed by the cruel reality in countless dust, and he couldn't pick it up. , the nerves that were already tense to the extreme suddenly collapsed, and the blood in the throat was sprayed out in a hurry.

It turned out that to defeat Wang Kuan, there was no need for any weapons or swords at all. Just a single Yuan Zhongxin was enough to defeat him and bring him to the brink of death.

Overwhelming despair rushed to him, his eyes went dark, and Wang Kuan passed out.

Consciousness drifted back and forth with the sea of ​​mind, and suddenly a familiar voice came from the endless darkness, with a tone full of pity and helplessness: "Didn't I tell you not to mess around, why are you vomiting blood now?"

Wang Kuan suddenly opened his eyes, and murmured absentmindedly: "Yuan Zhongxin..."

Yuan Zhong smiled and sighed softly, gently stroking Wang Kuan's eyebrows, and replied very patiently: "It's me, I'm back."

The sadness and despair in Wang Kuan's heart erupted immediately, rushing towards him like a flood bursting a bank. He raised his hand to wrap around Yuan Zhongxin's neck, and hugged it tightly in his arms. Yuan Zhongxin, I'm sorry...I shouldn't be so stupid, I'm sorry..."

Yuan Zhongxin couldn't believe it, and his mind was shocked.

Wang Kuan cried.

Yuan Zhongxin felt a burst of sadness in his heart, only felt that the corners of his eyes were hot, and the tears could not be stopped. He buried his face in Wang Kuan's neck, and tried his best to hug this young man who loved him so much, with a trembling voice, bringing Pleading eagerly: "It's not your fault, Wang Kuan, it's not your fault, please don't do this, okay?"

Hearing Wang Kuan's helpless and desperate apology and self-blame, Yuan Zhongxin's heart was broken into dust, as if he couldn't fight back. He is not a person who is particularly afraid of pain, but at this moment, his heart aches so much Life is worse than death, hysterical.

Yuan Zhongxin resisted the heart-piercing inside, and comforted Wang Kuan who was in a mad self-blame again and again. He raised his body, wiped away the tears from the corners of Wang Kuan's eyes, and pulled out a small smile: "Wang Kuan, I'll be fine, trust me, for you, I will never let anything happen to me."

Wang Kuan didn't say a word, his eyes were bright and clear with grief, and he stared at Yuan Zhongxin silently.

Yuan Zhongxin twisted the jade pendant lying on Wang Kuan's neck with his fingertips, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was weak and desolate: "Wang Kuan, you promised me, you will always believe in me, you will do what you say."

Wang Kuan's eyes trembled, and he asked in a tone that wished he could kneel down and beg: "Is it necessary to get to that step? Can we use other methods?"

Yuan Zhongxin shook his head slowly: "Only after I die, the people of Daxia will be willing to stop, otherwise, we will live in open and secret struggles for the rest of our lives."

He leaned over and pressed an extremely light kiss on Wang Kuan's lips, his eyes glistened softly, and he said in a daze, "Wang Kuan, I don't want to live like this, I want to spend the rest of my life with you freely."

"I want to give you a peaceful and happy world, even if it is my life in exchange, I will be happy with it."
