worthless [rebirth]

After that day, Jiang Chi would come to Yuanhua Palace every night, and he didn't stay for long, just a stick of incense.

He came here just to put medicine on Chen Ling's face.

Chen Ling didn't want to see Jiang Chi, so every night when the man came, he always closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Maybe it was because Chen Ling pretended to sleep that night, which put Jiang Chi on guard. For the next few days, Jiang Chi didn't say a word. After taking the medicine, he sat for a while and left.

It was a kind of cold ointment with some herbal fragrance. Chen Ling had also used it before. It was a "scar removal ointment" carefully prepared by the imperial physician in the palace. All good.

Chen Ling couldn't figure out what Jiang Chi meant. Now that the matter was over, would it make sense for Jiang Chi to give him medicine again?

Perhaps, the other party wanted to mend this face and keep that only thought.Didn't they all promise him that they would let him go back to the country?

Jiang Chi's words are really unbelievable...

After using the medicine, a thin layer of scab will form on the wound the next day, and when it thickens and falls off naturally, the skin will be as smooth as new.

But Chen Ling didn't want to, so every time Jiang Chi applied the medicine for him the night before, Chen Ling would tear off the newly formed scabs little by little the next morning.

Jiang Chi, do you want to fix it?I won't let you do what you want.

When Jiang Chi came back at night, Chen Ling heard the other party's footsteps pause in front of the bed.Thinking about it, he was frightened by his deeper and fresher wounds.

"The day you recover from your injury is the time when you return home."

The man sat down by the bed, took the ointment and applied it on his face as he did the night before, the slightly cool ointment, trembling fingertips, and slightly hoarse voice.

"If you don't want to go back, just toss yourself. I won't come again..."

The lightly closed eyelashes trembled, and Chen Ling silently grasped the sheets under him.

He said he wouldn't come again, but Jiang Chi still came.

Chen Ling didn't open the wound again, and lay quietly on the bed.There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between the two, one pretended to be asleep and waited to apply the medicine, and the other silently applied the medicine.

I don't know if it was Chen Ling's illusion, but Jiang Chi's footsteps seemed to be heavier than before, and the time he stayed in Yuanhua Palace also changed from a stick of incense to half a stick of incense.

Until the seventh day, Jiang Chi did not leave after applying the medicine for him, but fell asleep beside his bed.

"Crack!" The small box containing the scar removal ointment fell out of Jiang Chi's hand and fell to the ground with a slight sound.

The hairy head was unconsciously resting on Chen Ling's hand, falling asleep defenselessly.

The sound of shallow and deep breathing was very clear in the empty room.

Not only did Chen Ling think of the last time he was out of the palace, but also when Jiang Chi fell asleep in the carriage, he also lay his head on his hand like this.Jiang Chi, who was sleeping peacefully at that time, had a pure expression like an innocent child.

At this moment, sleeping next to him, what expression would the other party have?How could he... how could he fall asleep.

"Jiang Chi, you are not afraid, I will take this opportunity... to kill you?"

Chen Ling slowly opened his eyes, and there was no sleepiness in his clear eyes.The unrepressed hand slowly stretched out to Jiang Chi's hairpin, staring coldly at the artery on the side of the other's neck.

Chen Ling's hand flinched when his fingertips touched the clear lines on the hairpin.Turning his gaze, he saw that it was the hairpin that Jiang Chi insisted on buying at the stall that day.

"Heh..." The chill in his eyes faded a little, Chen Ling smiled lowly, pulled out the hairpin, and threw it on the ground.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, it was broken into two pieces.

"I can't do it. If you want to laugh...just laugh." Chen Ling said quietly, closing his eyes again.

When Jiang Chi left, Chen Ling didn't know.Because later, he actually fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sky was bright, and the broken hairpin on the ground was gone.

It was a pity that Chen Ling felt that he had no chance to see Jiang Chi's expression when he looked at the hairpin that was broken in two on the ground.But if you think about it, you won't have any expression. After all, it wasn't from the "real" Mo Ziling, but from him, the "fake" Ziling.

It's just that Jiang Chi didn't come this night.

The moment the door opened, Chen Ling knew it wasn't Jiang Chi when he heard footsteps.The visitor was sitting by the bed, still applying medicine to him. When the other person's hand stroked his cheek, Chen Ling opened his eyes.

"It's you?" Chen Ling's expression was a little astonished. He had thought of countless possibilities just now, wondering who Jiang Chi would let someone come to Yuanhua Palace, but he didn't expect that this person turned out to be Qin Shan!

Chen Ling would not be surprised if anyone appeared, except Qin Shan.

Jiang Chi hated Qin Shan to the bone, and Qin Shan also hated Jiang Chi for not having skin cramps. Such two people...how could they have an intersection?

"Xiao Ling, you have suffered." Looking at a faint scar on Chen Ling's face, Qin Shan said, "After a few days when you recover from your injury, we can return to Liguo."

"Why are you in the palace?" Chen Ling asked.

Qin Shan has been imprisoned in the prison. He once begged Jiang Chi to release him, but Jiang Chi refused.

"That bastard let me out." Qin Shandao, his eyes were cold, "It's fine if I've been locked up for so long, I don't care, but he tortured you like this, I won't let him go! Xiaoling, you Don't worry, I will avenge you! I will definitely!"

"..." Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, his expression gloomy, "You are still in Jiang Guo's palace, be careful that the walls have ears, don't say such things for now."

"Okay." Qin Shan nodded and said, "It's true that I didn't think about it. The most important thing for us now is to leave as soon as possible."

***

For the next three days, Qin Shan took care of Chen Ling. Jiang Chi never showed up again, and Xiao Tao was transferred to another place by Jiang Chi.

Growing up together since childhood, Qin Shan and Chen Ling have many interesting things in common that they can recall.From time to time, the two talked about the scenery and folk customs of Liguo, as well as those embarrassing things when they were young.

When you are happy, just laugh happily.

Sad, there is someone to comfort me.

It's just that apart from these emotions, when he calmed down, Chen Ling felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart.

There seems to be something missing in my heart, and everything around me is missing something.

Not perfect.

Three days later.Suburban station.

Sitting in the carriage back to Liguo, Chen Ling finally believed that he was not dreaming, nor did he hear wrongly. Jiang Chi did say... that he would let him go.

"The day you recover from your injury is the time when you return home."

The only time Jiang Chi didn't lie to him.

Since Qin Shan came, Jiang Chi had not appeared in front of Chen Ling for several days.Even though today was the day for Chen Ling to go back to his hometown, that person didn't come to see him off.

Thinking of returning to the hometown he had left for five years soon, Chen Ling couldn't say that he didn't look forward to it, but it was more of a pain like being hollowed out.

"Medicine..." Chen Ling said with difficulty, covering his heart.

Qin Shan hurriedly took out the medicine bottle, poured out a pill and brought it to Chen Ling's mouth.Holding the pill in his mouth, the pain in his heart was suppressed, and Chen Ling lay on the soft couch of the carriage, curled up into a ball.

Seeing that Chen Ling was drowsy with his eyes closed all the time, without even a trace of blood on his face, Qin Shan was very worried, but he didn't dare to say anything to disturb his rest.

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes outside, and the carriage seemed to be stopped by something and stopped.

Qin Shan opened the car curtain a crack and saw Jiang Chi riding a black war horse with a somewhat slender box on his back, blocking their way.

Qin Shan stared at Jiang Chi warily, and said coldly, "What? Are you going to backtrack?"

Chen Ling opened his eyes suddenly, his slender and pale fingers clutching the mattress under him.

He knew that Jiang was late.

Jiang Chi's expression was as calm as water, his eyebrows and eyes were still stern, and under the winter sun, a streak of silver on his temples blended with the long-lasting white snow, making him even colder.

"I promised him something, and I will do what I say." Jiang Chi said, "Get out of the way, I'm here just to give him something."

Qin Shan looked at Jiang Chi suspiciously.

"Brother Qin..." Chen Ling's weak voice sounded, and at some point, he had already stood up with force, opened the curtain of the car, revealing half of his body.

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Chi.

The fleeting time.

Not seeing him for three days, Chen Ling seemed to no longer recognize the person in front of him.That smear of silver made Chen Ling dizzy.

Jiang Chi got off his horse, stepped forward and hugged Chen Ling horizontally.

Chen Ling was a little stunned, staring at the other side's temples, forgetting to resist.

Jiang Chi carried him to a banyan tree not far from the road, and gently put Chen Ling down, letting him stand against the tree trunk.

The snow on the trees "srusted" due to the vibration, and the snowflakes fluttered one after another, with sadness and poignancy.

"What do you want... to give me?"

Jiang Chi untied the wooden box on his back, and said in a hoarse voice, "This painting is for you..." He opened the wooden box as he spoke, Jiang Chi's hands trembled a little, whether it was nervousness or something.

Wish to have one person's heart, and the white head will not be separated.

Chen Ling saw that the box contained the portrait that Jiang Chi drew for him on the Yunling Pavilion, or the portrait of Mo Ziling!

"Ha! Haha!" Chen Ling laughed. Laughing, he suddenly gained strength, grabbed the painting, unfolded it, and then tore it in half from the middle!

"Jiang Chi! Give me this... Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Chen Ling smiled coldly. Under Jiang Chi's astonished gaze, he turned and walked towards the carriage bit by bit.

Seeing that the two seemed to be having an argument, Qin Shan hurried over to pick up Chen Ling.

"Chen Ling." Jiang Chi stared blankly at the painting that had turned into two halves on the ground, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Seeing that Chen Ling was about to enter the carriage, he chased after him and called out his name.

Chen Ling turned her head slowly, her lips moved slightly, and she asked Jiang Chi silently, "Can you tell the difference... Is it Chen Ling in the painting... or Mo Ziling?"

Jiang Chi froze, cold from head to toe.

Chen Ling was carried into the carriage by Qin Shan, and never looked back.

"Xiao Ling, what did he give you?" Seeing that Chen Ling's expression became even worse after returning to the carriage, Qin Shan couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing..." Chen Ling shook his head, lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

There is nothing left, be it paintings or hairpins.

The entanglement between him and Jiang Chi was finally broken, and there was nothing left.

The receding carriage made a winding trace in the snow.

Lopsided.Sigh, blow away with the wind.

***

"Would you like it?"

At some point, a red shadow appeared behind Jiang Chi.

……

"I fell asleep again? Why didn't you wake me up?"

"unwilling."

……

Looking at the disappearing traces in the sky, Jiang Chi smiled.

"unwilling."

"Actually...you can tell Chen Ling directly." Jiang Chao sighed, "Isn't it just that he fell into the 'Spring Sleep'? Doesn't it mean that he will sleep more and more in the future? Isn't it just that it is inevitable that one day...fall asleep... Can't wake up again? He loves you, so he won't care about these. "

"..." Jiang Chi didn't speak.

"Or...do you really believe that the poison of 'Chunmian' was given to you by Chen Ling a year ago?"

"I believe him." Jiang Chi turned around and got on his horse, "I've been afraid of sleep all the time these days, I'm afraid I won't wake up, and I'm even more afraid that Chen Ling is by my side, and when I wake up, I'm no longer there .I just...don't want him...to live in this kind of fear that he will face death someday..."

"Love is one thing. But fear of the unknown is another. I can't bear the price that fear demands from him. In that case, why not make him hate me? Anyway, in the beginning, he was Hate me. Maybe hate can make his life... easier."

Chunmian does not feel dawn, and the slightest dream haunts me.

The sound of wind and rain at night, whispering the tune of Huangquan.

"Spring Sleep", there are no symptoms after poisoning, and the incubation period ranges from one year to three years. When the poison occurs, the poisoned person just feels weak occasionally, and gradually becomes lethargic. He usually looks the same as ordinary people, and it is difficult to be found until he dies suddenly in his sleep. .

There is no solution to the legend of "spring sleep".Although the incubation period is long and it cannot kill people immediately, it is the most beneficial poison and medicine for the poisoner to get out of the body.

If someone wants to lurk and kill the enemy invisible, "Spring Mian" is undoubtedly the best choice...
