sinking into sand

It was night and it was raining.

The rain fell fast, as if hitting the ground.It is also dense, and the exquisite garden of Peony Academy seems to be separated from two worlds by the rain.

One is under the eaves, singing and dancing, as if the joy and warmth here are endless.

In one place, under the rain, even the precious flower branches were bent and smashed to pieces.

Si En was sitting in the room, looking at the torrential rain outside through the window eaves, he didn't have the slightest intention to get up, so the maid outside urged him again.

"Girl, I'm waiting at the banquet."

Si En didn't look back, just said: "It's raining so hard, and Lu Hua is calling me. I don't know that I'm an honored guest over there, so honorable."

The servant girl didn't dare to speak rashly, so she had to say: "That's because I'm looking forward to the girl, I'm asking the girl to go."

Hearing what she said, Si En felt bored, and he didn't want to spend any more words with her, so he said: "Then let's go." Saying this, he stood up, put on a white coat painted with ink, and was about to go out Walk.

Seeing her like this, the servant girl became anxious again: "Why is the girl wearing this? Why don't you change it and go?"

"You're so long-winded." Si En said to her, "Qing Ge has become more and more incapable of training people these days, how are those people really waiting to see me?"

The servant girl was choked up and didn't dare to say more, so she had to carefully serve Si En and go to the main hall.

They walked casually in this direction, and halfway they bumped into another group of people who were going to the main hall.

The group met at the corner of the corridor.It was raining heavily outside, and the situation on the other side of the corridor could not be seen clearly.They were not found until close.

At the beginning, I only saw two young servants in crimson robes, both of them looked good, their hair was tightly tied up in a black gauze hat with a bamboo frame.Leaning slightly forward, one left and one right opened the way forward, still holding a lotus lantern in his hand.

Seeing the two, Si En didn't rush forward, and stood there waiting for a while.

In the corridor, first a pair of embroidered shoes appeared.The azure satin, the water pattern is already on the fabric, refracting different colors and luster under the light, and embroidered with gold thread and white thread to embroider the lotus flower as the core. Xiu Niang's two months of work is expensive and dignified.

The owner of the embroidered shoes came slowly, and Si En felt that he could vaguely hear the sound of Bu Yao in such a heavy rain.

Wearing the same blue gown with several layers of inner and outer layers.A golden lock is hung around the neck, and it is matched with a bead streamer.Her hair was tied into a bun of ingots, and she wore a crepe crown embellished with gold and pearls. She was also lit with emerald jade, and she wore a beaded diary.Hanging on the two cheeks are two necklaces with curtain combs, which are also gold threads supporting emerald pearls, which is incomparably luxurious.

The man walked slowly, it seems that this outfit is not easy for people to move around.Walking around the corner, she seemed to feel that someone was looking at her, and turned her head to look at Si En.

Si En looked at her, looking at those eyes, neither sad nor happy.A face is small and delicate, with soft lines, almost as smooth as jade.A pair of lips are slightly red, not thick, but slightly bloody, which looks like a real person again.

This is Lu Hua.

"Go first, it's raining heavily, and I'm afraid your shoes will get wet under the eaves," she said.

Lu Hua didn't answer, but nodded slightly.Continue along the corridor to the main hall.

There were indeed many people in her party, besides the boy who led the way in front, there were also four maids who only waited on her behind.Everyone looks very well-behaved, and their outfits don't look like others.

Seeing this, the maid next to Si En said sourly: "Miss, look at him, our chess academy is equally famous anyway, why is there no grandeur?"

Si En ignored her and just said: "I'll go to the main hall, now you go to the medicine hall and ask how much they ordered today."

"Ah." The maid was puzzled, "Isn't this matter already arranged properly, so why ask?"

"If you are told to go, go." Sien said, "Speak carefully. If I ask you what you are doing here, just say that this year's rain is too abundant, and the roots of herbs have been rotten. I am afraid that there will not be so many in the future."

The servant girl responded and went by herself.

Sien stood for a while, looked at the heavy rain outside the eaves, and suddenly remembered something.

It seemed that it had rained back then, but only in the second half of the night.Rouwen = daily update ⑦ 9 dance [-]; bar_dance: [-]% zero

The rain fell in the early morning, but it failed to extinguish the torches of those lunatics attacking Peony Academy, but it hid the girl's cry and washed away the blood all over the ground.

Si En stopped in place for a while, then turned around and went to the main hall.

It's still raining outside.

Xun Er stayed in the inn, and she was the only one.

Those people from Beidi left, and Yu Sha went out with her, and later, My Niang also left.

It has been raining on the Li River this year, she is a little scared, and always wants someone to accompany her.

Before that, Yu Sha was always there, but after Yu Sha wasn't around, My Lady would also come.

But today she is the only one left.

Xun Er stayed in his hut for a while, but still felt unsafe and flustered.So I ran to the main hall in the rain, checked all the doors and windows again, and fixed the bolts.

After finishing all this, she was still afraid, so she took the candle that she was usually reluctant to light, and sneaked to the room where Yu Sha usually slept.

She lit a candle, hid on Yu Sha's couch, and wrapped herself in a quilt.He didn't sleep either, just nestled there, his eyes fixed on the candlelight, as if the light and quilt in front of him were some kind of indestructible armor.

It was too dark.

She silently remembered that on that summer night, the Peony Academy was full of flames, and there were sounds of weapons cutting blunt objects and men's laughter outside the room.Her sisters and aunts were no more difficult to kill than a sheep, just fell to the ground.

Then they entered the house, laughing, crying, and bad smells, weaving the most perfect nightmare on a hot summer night.

In that nightmare, the only way out seemed to be to die quickly, even if he hesitated a little, he would lose even the chance to die.Then they are humiliated, unable to ask for death, or want to live but die more miserably.

How many people who were in Peony Academy at that time survived?

Xun Er dare not think, dare not calculate.She felt that she should have died, but she survived.

Because she has an extra pipa string, the thinnest string.

Xun Er hated this string, and everyone who has practiced pipa knows how painful it is when it cuts a finger.

And she cut her face with it.
