Tang riddles

Zhang Ruohan woke up with a severe headache, and she lay on the bed, moaning/groaning in the dizziness that followed.She raised her hand and pinched her temples, feeling as if she had just woken up from a hangover after drinking several catties of spirits last night.But she clearly remembers not drinking at all for months.

What's going on, why do you feel so bad?

She turned sideways to see if Akashi was by her side, but found that there was nothing around her.Probing over, Akashi's quilt was no longer warm, and she must have gotten up for a while.

Where did this person go?She wasn't quite used to the feeling that Akashi wasn't by her side when she got up.She began to panic inexplicably and struggled to sit up.He opened his mouth and called out:

"Akashi? Wuya?"

After waiting for a while, no one responded.

She tried her best to get off the couch, and while putting on her shoes, she turned her gaze to the child's cradle.Is the child still sleeping?What time is it? You should be hungry.She is going to breastfeed the baby.

However, when she walked to the cradle with her shoes on, she found that the child was not in the cradle.

"Huang'er?" She frowned, where did the child go?Did Akashi take the baby out?

"Chishi! Wu Ya!" She tried to call out again, dragging her dizzy body towards the door, "Where is Huang'er?"

Still no one responded to her.

As she approached the door, voices began to echo in her drowsy mind.She was probably really not very sober, and for a while she couldn't tell where these voices came from.After standing at the door for a while, she realized that the voice was someone talking in the yard outside.The voice was depressing, but urgent, speaking extremely fast, more than one person was talking, as if they were arguing about something, but she couldn't hear clearly.

What's wrong?what happened?She instinctively felt something was wrong.

She tried to open the door, the light outside was very bright, a little dazzling.She squinted her eyes and took a moment to get used to it before she could see the scene in front of her clearly.In the yard of the post house, Shen Sui was harnessing the horses, Shen Jin, Ying Niang and Wu Ya were surrounding her, Shen Jin bowed his head to the side silently, holding the armrest of the wheelchair tightly.Wu Ya's face was full of confusion, while Yan Niang was extremely anxious. She was talking to Shen Sui, and the two of them kept their voices extremely low, as if they were arguing fiercely.Shen Sui was pulled by her arms and sleeves many times, so that she had to stop the work of harnessing the horses in her hands. Her skirts were already messed up, but as if she was angry, she threw off the pull of her mother and continued to work. Things don't stop at all.

"Chishi...Wu Ya!" Zhang Ruohan called out again, and after opening her mouth, she realized that her voice was so hoarse, almost lost her voice, no wonder the people outside didn't hear her call just now.

She put her hand on her throat and cleared her throat.He stepped out, ready to step up and speak.

At this moment, in the firewood room far away, Hutuo and Huyan Zhuoma hurried out. Huyan Zhuoma still had blood on his hand, and was wiping it with a worn-out wet cloth as he walked. The faces of the two were ugly. He was holding his own scimitar and Huyan Zhuoma's scimitar in his hand.After Huyan Zhuoma finished wiping his hands, he threw the knife to Huyan Zhuoma, and the two hurried to the stable.When passing by the front yard, the two saw Zhang Ruohan.They stopped involuntarily, with an indescribable expression on their faces, as if something had choked their throats, and they even forgot the usual salute.

"Mother... Lady..." Huyan Zhuoma called out in a whisper.

His call finally brought back the attention of Shen Sui, Shen Jin, Ying Niang and Wu Ya. When they looked back, they saw Zhang Ruohan standing at the door of the room.Almost coincidentally, the expressions on everyone's faces instantly unified, showing a state of being stuck in their throats unanimously.Ying Niang and Wu Ya immediately covered their mouths, turned their heads away in tears, as if they couldn't bear to look directly at Zhang Ruohan.Shen Jin opened his mouth and bowed his head again, not daring to look at Zhang Ruohan again.

Shen Sui's hands were tightly pinching the harness on the saddle, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and the palms were turning white.She bit her back teeth, her eyes were red, and her whole body was trembling slightly involuntarily.Zhang Ruohan had never seen her like this before, she was in a state of rage and collapse, but she was desperately suppressing it, intertwining fear and anger into blood in her eyes.

"What happened..." Zhang Ruohan asked softly.

She was still answered by an unbearable silence.

"Where's Huang'er?" She asked again, looking at Shen Jin, Ying Niang and Wu Ya, "Where did you take her? She should be breastfeeding."

Shen Jin remained silent, Wu Ya squatted on the ground, hugged his head, tears fell down, wet the dry loess ground.Tiao Niang turned her face away, and raised her hand to cover her face.

Zhang Ruohan turned her gaze to Huyan Zhuoma and Hutuo, the two men bowed their heads in her sight, speechless.

She finally looked at Shen Sui, Shen Sui did not avoid her gaze, but tears were slowly overflowing from her red eyes.

Zhang Ruohan walked down the steps, came to the courtyard, rushed towards Shen Sui, raised her hand to grab her skirt, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Where's Huang'er?! Answer me!"

"Lotus Maid..." Shen Sui finally spoke, her voice was so hoarse, implying Wuji's sore spot, "Huang'er, she..."

"What's up with her?"

"She's gone..." Shen Sui replied almost silently, the expression on her face at that moment was so heartbreaking.

"What did you say?" She didn't seem to hear clearly, and asked again, but the blood on her face faded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"She disappeared... We found out in the morning that Bai Liuniang disappeared, Xiao Kai and the guard died, and Huang'er... disappeared together..."

"I don't believe it...you, you are too much, making such a joke..." Zhang Ruohan shook his head, let go of Shen Sui's lapel, and staggered back two steps, his face full of disbelief.

Everyone was silent.

After a short time, I don't know how long it was, but the atmosphere in the courtyard was so stagnant that everyone felt that it had passed through centuries.

"Where are you going?" Zhang Ruohan's voice trembled, she stared at Shen Sui with a numb expression, her clear eyes were already blood red, the heartbreak and endless pain in her eyes made Shen Sui shed tears involuntarily.

"Go and get Huang'er back." Shen Sui choked up.

"Why didn't you wake me up, why didn't you tell me, if I didn't wake up early, would you have left without telling me? Are you going to leave me alone again... Huang'er is our flesh and blood, she You actually hid such a big thing from me...Shen Sui...you're too much..." The disbelief in Zhang Ruohan's eyes slowly turned into heartbroken sorrow.

"Lotus Maid..." Shen Sui's cheeks were already wet with tears, he loosened the leather belt anxiously, stepped forward, stretched out his hands and tried to grab her and explain, "No, listen to me."

"Shen Bozhao!" Zhang Ruohan suddenly raised his voice, took a few steps back to avoid her approach, and then said word by word, "If something happens to Huang'er, I will never forgive you in my life."

Her words pierced Shen Sui's heart like a sharp arrow, her eyes pierced Shen Sui's heart like a blade, the blood on Shen Sui's face suddenly faded, her hands and feet were cold, and the back of her neck was numb, her lips trembled, unable to speak a word .

Zhang Ruohan stared at her, her grief turned into burning anger and anxiety, she gritted her teeth and walked around Shen Sui, suddenly rushed to the horse, got on the horse and waved the rein:

"Drive!" The white horse that Shen Sui had just harnessed, immediately put its four hooves on its back, and rushed out of the gate of the post house with her on its back.

Shen Sui suffered a severe psychological trauma and was caught off guard for a while.After she reacted, Zhang Ruohan had already galloped out.She exclaimed:

"Lotus Maid!!!"

The flow of time seemed to slow down, and Shen Sui only felt that everything in front of him was slowing down.She could see herself staggering towards the stable and leading another horse; she could see Hu Tuo and Huyan Zhuo horses running anxiously towards their horses; she could see Wu Ya chasing Zhang Ruohan out of the post house Seeing that the girl who was trying to hold the horse was brought to the ground, Shen Jin was trying to roll the wheelchair, trying to help her.She heard her own heavy breathing.

She stepped on the horse, raised the whip, and slapped the horse hard: "Drive!!!"

The whipping was so severe that the horse was in pain, raised its front hooves, and almost turned Shen Sui over.Shen Sui clamped the horse's belly tightly with his legs, bent his body so that his chest and abdomen were parallel to the horse's back, but he couldn't fall off the horse after all.The vibration brought by the horse's hooves shattered the tears in the corners of her eyes.The next moment, everything in the world seemed to return to normal, and the horse took her out quickly.

She overtook Wu Ya who was running hard, trying to catch up with Zhang Ruohan with her own legs.She heard Wu Ya's heart-piercing roar, she was calling "San Niang! San Niang! Come back!".

"Drive!" Shen Sui pinched the horse's belly again, the sadness in her eyes disappeared for a short while, and turned into endless anxiety.The scene in front of her was extremely turbulent, Zhang Ruohan was several feet in front of her, the strong wind blew her long black hair that had not been coiled up behind her head, and the robe that was not fully put on her was floating behind her.She had never ridden a fast horse like this before. Seeing her bumping, swaying, and precarious back on the horse, Shen Sui felt that everything in sight except her was collapsing and being left behind by her.

Lotus Maid, I will never allow anything to happen to you!

How could such a swift galloping horse be accommodated in such a small city.In a blink of an eye, the city gate arrived, and the gate was wide open during the day, especially in an emergency. Shen Sui had just contacted General Jiang not long ago and asked him to open the city gate immediately.Right now, it provides a convenient way for Zhang Ruohan.

The soldiers guarding the city gate saw a beautiful woman with disheveled clothes and long hair galloping fast on a white horse. rushed out.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Sui rode out, and only then did the soldiers realize what happened?

Ahead, the vast desert unfolded in front of the eyes, and the sun was rising high, and it was almost noon.Zhang Ruohan didn't seem to know the direction, she ran out of the city gate and rushed all the way to the north.Shen Sui rode his horse in hot pursuit and called out loudly:

"Lotus maid! Stop!"

But Zhang Ruohan's emotions were extremely agitated right now, and he lost control of himself, so much so that he said such hurtful words to Shen Sui.When Huang'er is lost, it's like losing her soul. She doesn't have a clear mind to judge what to do next. She only knows that to save Huang'er, she must hurry up and pursue.

The dirt road in the desert is extremely difficult to walk on. The ground around here was originally dry and hard, but due to a sandstorm just now, a thick layer of sand floated on the surface.Zhang Ruohan's equestrian skills are limited. Riding a fast horse was already difficult at first, but now it is even more critical. He was jolted left and right on the horse, and he was about to lose his balance.

"Clamp the horse's belly, bend down, don't hook the stirrup! Hold on to the rein!" Shen Sui shouted anxiously from behind.

Zhang Ruohan seemed to have recovered a bit of clarity, she did not completely ignore Shen Sui's roar, and began to try hard to follow Shen Sui's words.However, she is weak in this area and her physical abilities are limited. She has already lost control of the horse, and now she just lies on the horse and tries not to be thrown off by the horse, waiting for the horse to stop by itself.

Seeing that Zhang Ruohan's body was tilted towards the right side of the horse, Shen Sui vigorously whipped the mount under him, and finally caught up with half of the horse.She stretched out her hand to reach the lotus maidservant, but the distance was not enough, she cursed "Damn it", and kicked the horse's belly with her heel again, the horse sped up neighing, and finally caught up with Zhang Ruohan's white horse, and galloped on the right side with the bridle .

Shen Sui tried his best to control the rein and shouted:

"Lotus maid, hold on!"

She let go of the stirrups with both feet, lowered her body suddenly, pushed the horse's back with both palms, exerted force on her waist and abdomen, and jumped up from the horse. Then she kicked her horse's saddle with her toes, and twisted her waist to the left in mid-air Turn sideways.Spreading his arms and legs, he landed on the back of Zhang Ruohan's white horse lightly and gracefully like fallen leaves.

The weight on the white horse's back suddenly increased, and it neighed immediately.The saddle was taken by Zhang Ruohan, Shen Sui could only sit on the back of the saddle, stretched out his feet to step on the stirrups, stretched out his arms and pulled Zhang Ruohan into his arms, went around her body and grabbed the reins, fiercely A pull:

"Call! Cry~~~~"

The horse neighed and raised its hooves, Shen Sui struggled to grab the reins and wrestled with the horse for a while before finally calming down the horse, the frightened white horse stopped, Shen Sui hurriedly jumped off the horse and hugged Zhang Ruohan off the horse .At this moment, Zhang Ruohan was trembling in her arms, unable to speak.Shen Sui hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.After a long time, she finally let go of her embrace and lowered her head to check if she was injured.

She looked fine, but her hair was a little messy. Shen Sui raised his hand to cut her hair. On her beautiful face, she was full of panic. Until now, her tears were long overdue.She choked and sobbed like a lost child.Shen Sui hugged her without saying a word, feeling her tears wet his skirt, she couldn't help crying.

When Hutuo and Huyan Zhuoma arrived, what they saw was the scene of them embracing each other and crying.Zhang Ruohan grabbed the back of Shen Sui's clothes with his hands, buried in her arms and howled in pain.Shen Sui cried with her, his eyes were red and swollen.I don't know how long I have been crying like this, Shen Sui's concept of time is blurred, I only know that in the end, Zhang Ruohan murmured to her repeatedly:

"Huang'er is a gift from God, but we lost her. Chishi, we have to find her, we have to find her..."

The author has something to say: I found that everyone is very keen. The vague description at the end of the last chapter unexpectedly guessed what will happen next.Yes, Huang'er was taken away, but don't worry, I don't have the perverted habit of abusing children, the little one is safe.
