dust song

In the small town, when Shao Lin was walking back with the candied fruit wrapped in oil paper, the whispering of a couple standing by the stall made him stop instantly.

"Hey, I heard that the capital is not peaceful recently, so don't implicate us here."

"No, when I went up the mountain to cut firewood this morning, I saw many soldiers going west."

Although this unremarkable town is only ten miles away from the capital city, it lives a peaceful life every day, which is why Shao Lin chose to live here temporarily, but it is such a small town, and it is not peaceful in the blink of an eye. .

Shao Lin frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the man's shoulder with one hand, and asked eagerly, "Brother, can you see where the group of people went?"

The man thought hard for a while, and then reluctantly recalled: "It seems that I saw Wu Village in the west, but there are no people living there, and I don't know what these soldiers are doing there."

Seeing Shao Lin with a sword on his waist, the woman's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly dragged her husband into the house, "I'm going to die, why do you care so much! Go back and chop the firewood!"

After hearing this, Shao Lin's face turned dark by [-]%. He turned around and dropped the candied fruit in his hand, and rushed to the small courtyard without delay.

The handsome side face was tense due to clenched teeth.

Chen'er, you must be safe!

Shao Lin's footsteps were flustered, and he looked at the pomegranate tree in the yard from a mile away. For some reason, that blooming flower was as bright red and dazzling as burning blood in his eyes.

Shao Lin clenched his fists involuntarily, and suddenly there was a turbulent wave in his chest, so that he almost collided with the oncoming carriage.

……

The small courtyard where the fighting had stopped was filled with the smell of blood, but in a small area, in an instant, corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.

"It's really unlucky for eight lifetimes! This reward, which I saw at hand, actually slipped away from under my nose like this!"

Several imperial guards who survived by chance gathered in front of Siwen, gritted their teeth and looked fierce in their words, making gestures to peel off the skin and cramps of the boy in front of them who prevented them from being rich.

Siwen's soft and beautiful face had long been stained with blood, and his body was also covered with large and small sword wounds. He was obviously weak and would bleed, but he still sneered a few times with his strength, and sneered a few times. After a pause, he said, "If you want to blame it, blame it...You guys are too stupid..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Siwen was kicked to the ground by them, and then a sharp long sword was thrust into his left shoulder, nailing him firmly to the ground.

These people were already going to vent their anger on Siwen alone.

"Brat, how dare you speak hard!"

Siwen's pale face was twisted in pain, but he still clenched his lower lip tightly and said nothing. The proud self-esteem flowing in his blood made him not even want to cry out in pain.

Siwen took a deep breath, his expression was full of sarcasm, he was really bullied by dogs, he, the son of a captain, was tortured to this point by this group of blind idiots.

It's ridiculous, why on earth should I take care of such nosy things?Or just...for a lowly beggar...

"If you have any...you will kill me!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of angry cursing.

When Shao Lin rushed to the small courtyard, Siwen was tortured to death by several people. He stared angrily at the scene in front of him, his eyes were about to crack, he gritted his teeth, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "You, you, find, die!"

After speaking, he directly drew the sword from his waist and rushed forward, wiping the necks of the people in front of him within a few strokes.

With cold eyes, Shao Lin kicked away the corpse lying in front of him, squatted down and carried Si Wenqiang expressionlessly out of the yard.

After the person in his arms felt the movement, he opened his beautiful eyes with great effort. It was the first time he had seen a man so violent.

Siwen's eyes flickered, and then he raised his beautiful lips, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect...you...really willing to come and save me..."

Shao Lin didn't immediately ask about Chu Lichen's whereabouts, nor did he ask why the imperial guards were here, but twitched his Adam's apple violently, and said hoarsely, "You're seriously injured, don't talk."

Siwen seemed to have never heard of it, and said to himself, "Brother Lin...I really...didn't do it on purpose. I wanted to...go to the town to find you that day, but who knows... .I happened to meet someone from the lord, they took me...to the face of the lord, you know...I'm the secret agent of the lord, the lord promised me... When he ascends the throne in the future... he will allow me to be free, I... admit that I... was really... heart... moved..."

Siwen looked very calm when he spoke, as if he knew that he was coming to an end.

Shao Lin closed his eyelids, choked with sobs and said, "Stop talking, I'll take you to the doctor."

Although a slight gasp would cause severe pain from the wounds all over his body, Siwen still desperately wanted to finish speaking.

"I've never... seen the prince... care so much about a person, maybe...Chu Lichen's return to... the prince's side may not be... not a good thing."

How could Shao Lin not understand this truth?

Water vapor engulfed the glazed eyes, and Shao Lin in sight became blurred and distant, but with such a blurred and distant distance, Siwen still felt Shao Lin's pain.

"Brother Lin...in the next life...I will be reincarnated...as a woman, when the time comes...you marry me...will you?"

Siwenqiang put on a smile on his face, and said half-seriously, half-jokingly, "If you... don't want to, I'll... take your portrait in the underworld... and tell Lord Hades... .You are...a heartless person...when the time comes...you will not be reincarnated..."

Hearing this, Shao Lin felt a sudden pain in his heart, short but sharp, his eyes darkened, and he smiled wryly, "How do you know...this life...isn't the next life that the previous life said..."

Shao Lin sighed softly into Siwen's ears, and a bleak smile appeared on his beautiful little face, "Brother Lin, I'm going to... die, you lied to me... can't you..."

"Actually, I... have long since understood... I'm just... young and impulsive to the lord. In this life... except you... I really... have never treated anyone... If you're overwhelmed, you...don't...dislike me..."

Shao Lin's expression was gloomy, he couldn't help clenching his hands holding Siwen into fists, feeling as uncomfortable as a needle prick in his heart.

Satisfied, Siwen rested her head on Shao Lin's broad chest, and slowly closed her eyes, "Brother Lin, don't... take my corpse... back to the Captain's Mansion, and bury it casually." There, but...just please...tell...my father a word, just say...the child is not filial...you can't serve him...by his side forever... "

Accompanied by the last short sound, a crystal teardrop slipped from the corner of Siwen's eye, silently, and fell on the land of heaven and earth that gave birth to him.

Siwen was born in a famous family, and deserved a life of glory, but he loved the wrong person and chose the wrong path, but in the end he still lay in the arms of the man he loved the most, and he died without regrets.

After the fire of life is extinguished, all traces of existence are instantly wiped out.

It was clearly a scorching sun, but when Shao Lin felt the body temperature in his arms cooling down little by little, waves of chills swept over him continuously, making him tremble all over.

Shao Lin stopped silently, stretched out his hand to probe Siwen's breath over and over again, and finally smoothed the broken hair on Siwen's temples lightly.

He slowly wiped away the blood on Siwen's little face, and said in a soft voice as if mourning, "Siwen, Brother Lin will take you home right now."

.......

Duwei Mansion, study room.

Li Yu was replying to the official document in the study, and for some reason, he suddenly felt an indescribable palpitation, which made him put down his pen, frown and sigh.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li quickly handed over tea and said worriedly: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Li Yu sighed again, "I don't know what happened to Siwen, did the person sent out find out the news?"

"I haven't sent back the news yet..." Since Siwen left the palace and there was no news, Mrs. Li was worried all day long, washing her face with tears, but she didn't dare to show too sad in front of Li Yu, so she still tried her best now Squeeze out a smile, as if comforting Li Yu and comforting himself: "This kid Siwen has been smart since he was a child, and the master doesn't have to worry too much."

"That's right, although this child always worries me, but now that he's grown up, he won't starve to death even if he goes outside. I hope that one day, he will remember to come back and visit his parents..."
