The second story of the ancient sword II

From time to time, the moon hides in the layers of clouds and mist, and the snow piled up in the corner of the courtyard reflects the blurred shadows of trees.The door opened with a creak, and a delicate little foot in flat-headed flower shoes stepped in.

"I'm going back." Wuyi stood outside the door and waved to Ah Ruan.

"Okay, go home quickly, don't worry your parents." A Ruan held the door frame with one hand and the skirt with the other.

"Meow--" came the coquettish cry, and the fluffy Ari rushed out of the room and went straight to A Ruan's feet.He rubbed against her feet intimately.Seeing this, Little Pig Liuli was even more unwilling to show weakness, and followed, her petite body lying on A Ruan's skirt, unwilling to get off.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, chirp!" The gluttonous chicken that was already drowsy on its shoulders immediately got excited when it saw the two of them, and kept blinking its small blue eyes to show them goodwill.But those two guys simply ignored its existence.

"Let's go, go home and sleep!" Wuyi patted the somewhat disappointed gluttonous chicken and walked towards Yuefu.

"Ahhh—" Ah Ruan stepped forward, his toes suddenly touched something and his steps were interrupted, he leaned forward and almost fell down, and managed to grab the door frame of the main house so that he didn't fall down.It turned out that there was a copper lamp stand horizontally under the feet.

Quickly lit the candle, and the dim yellow light spread out, covering the room with a hazy light.Wherever the candlelight reaches, there is chaos everywhere.The clothes in the smoker cage were ripped out and scattered all over the floor; the bottles and jars of rouge on the dressing table were also opened, and the bright red powder flowed all over the table.The painting stools on the sides of the case were lying on the ground in disorder.

"Oh my God!" Ah Ruan stomped his feet angrily, and all the spirit beasts didn't dare to gather around when they saw this, but gathered in a corner of the room silently. "Wait for Yi Ze to come back, I'll take care of you!" Ah Ruan untied the tie around his neck, hung the rose-colored cloak on the screen, rolled up his sleeves and tidied up the room.

Seeing this, Ari and Xiaohong hurried over to help.Liuli Pig was too small, so he could only jump onto the dressing table and start fiddling with those rouge vials.The more Ari helped, the more clothes in the smoking cage were not stuffed in, but more were pulled out, and it was directly wrapped into a cloth ball.

"It's really a waste of help!" Ah Ruan patted Ah Li's buttocks, "I'll do it myself." After cleaning up with great difficulty, Ah Ruan was already a little panting from exhaustion.

"Hey, why hasn't Yi Ze come back?" Ah Ruan muttered, walking towards the bed.Opening the curtain, one can see that the bed is also in a mess, the velvet brocade quilt, which was neatly folded, is drooping at the corner of the bed in a mess.

"Alas." Ah Ruan shook her head helplessly, picked up the quilt and planned to tidy it up, "Hey, what is that?" In the unclear light, she saw a man lying quietly under the quilt on the bed. weird stuff. "Oh, it's a chicken leg! Why did the chicken leg get on the bed?" A Ruan picked it up carefully, and looked down at an oily mark on the clean sheet.So I quickly wiped it with a silk handkerchief, but it couldn't be wiped off no matter what.

"Which of you did it!" A Ruan looked at the big and small spirit beasts, "It's so cold, do you want me to wash the sheets tomorrow?! You..." Before he finished speaking, he saw the white and tender glass The little pig jumped onto the bed in no time, his bright little eyes gleamed with tenderness, he looked at A Ruan from time to time, and from time to time he looked at the chicken leg in her hand.

"What did you do?!" A Ruan looked at the rouge-covered piglet, and a ball of fire shot straight to the top of his head, "Didn't you give each of you a hairpin before you left? Why did you pick up this one?" Hidden in the quilt on the bed? Did you grab food from Ari again?" A Ruan was about to reach out to get it down when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a big bump on its forehead.

"Ari, did you hit it?" Aruan pointed at Ari's small head.

"Meow——" Ari looked aggrieved, and raised her tufted little hand, as if to say, how can I bully it, it is so fierce, I can't beat it at all?

"So it was you who bullied Ari?" Aruan squatted down and touched the little pig's ear, "Why are you so stingy?"

"Hey..." Liuli Xiaozhu sounded a little sad, and looked at A Ruan with tears in his eyes.It seems to be saying, I ate a chicken leg, but I wanted to save another one for you, so I snatched it from Ari, and you didn't appreciate it at all.

"I want to get along with everyone in the future, understand?" A Ruan patted its head and smiled helplessly, "Oh, it looks like a pig, but this temper..."

After sending away all the spirit beasts, Ah Ruan pulled up the silver hook at the head of the bed to lift up the curtain, stretched out his arms to fold the quilt, and straightened the messy bedding on the bed.When she was concentrating on making the bed, suddenly a cool chest was pressed against her back, and she couldn't help being startled.

"Yi, Yize, it's you?!" Ah Ruan rubbed his throbbing heart, "Well, Yize is bad. Next time, don't teleport behind me like this without making a sound."

"You don't like it?" Yi Ze stretched out his arms and hugged Ah Ruan's shoulders tightly, his chin resting on her earlobe, "Then... next time I will walk back slowly."

"No, it's not that I don't like it..." Ah Ruan stammered slightly, "It's just that I scared him."

"Ah Ruan..." Yi Ze softly called her name.

"Ok?"

"...I love you." Yi Ze's voice became deeper.

"Me too." Ah Ruan responded to him.

"I... only love you in this life, and no one can replace you. Even if... I can't help myself in the future, I still only have you in my heart." Yi Ze slightly closed his eyes.

"Involuntary?" A Ruan turned around and stared at his face.Yi opened his eyes, the eye sockets were still slightly red, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little stiff. "Okay, why are you saying this? Yi Ze you..."

"I... well, it's getting late, let's practice Qi quickly." Yi Ze quickly changed the topic.

"Okay." Ah Ruan didn't think much, quickly knelt on the bed and folded the quilt, and moved it to a corner of the bed to make room for Qi training.

Sitting cross-legged, eyes slightly closed, palms together, Yi silently recited the mantra, while concentrating, the blue light condensed from the palm interacted with the emerald green fluorescent light from A Ruan.The ice blue absorbs the dark green, forming a large halo of beautiful flowers, and dots of silver-like light flakes flash around.After accumulating for a while, the green light was released, and slowly entered into her body bit by bit through the spiritual power channel in Ah Ruan's palm.

Inadvertently, Yi looked up, and there was thick snow on the eaves outside the window under the moonlight.The snow fell into sight, gradually blurred, and gradually reflected the shadow of the past.

It was snowing, and the dilapidated and cold yard was covered with weeds.On the broken window lattice, the torn silk paper can't hide the wind and cold.The charcoal brazier in the room was cold, and the charcoal blocks that had long been extinguished were lingering and emitting a few wisps of light smoke.Standing in the howling north wind was a thin and thin figure wearing a blue cotton padded jacket. It was the young Yi Ze.

Xiaoyi faced the warm sunshine and counted the clusters of ice edges hanging under the eaves.Under the sun, those ice edges exude a crystal light, shooting into the distance like long arrows.He stared closely, not afraid of the glare of the light, because he hadn't seen his concubine for a long time, and there seemed to be her shadow inside...

The white plum blossoms in the yard exude a faint fragrance.At the foot of the plum tree is the snowman he built little by little.Xiao Yi caressed the thin branches of the plum tree, and brushed off the snow on them, "Xue Cun, do you miss my concubine too..."

"The empress has an order. The third prince is weak and can't stand the fire, so this winter's carbon will be reduced by half... The third prince has not accepted the order to thank you..."

"So what if I gave birth to a son? So what if I became Concubine Shu..."

"...How can we mention those people from the past on such a happy day..."

No, no... Don't think about it... Still practicing Qi with Ah Ruan... Yi Ze's eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and beads of sweat gathered on his forehead.Constantly extracting his own zhenqi, but also to store Ah Ruan's zhenqi in his body, and then send out the stored zhenqi, a burning sensation like a fire came over him.Yi felt his heart beating faster and his breath getting heavier and heavier.

"...Miss Ruan, after all, she is not the daughter of a famous family..."

"...There is no parental witness, no matchmaker's words, how can there be a marriage contract?! I said that if I want to choose a concubine, I will choose a concubine! Since you are kind and filial, then wait another year..."

His whole body was dry and hot, and there was no trace of moisture in his mouth. Yi felt like a fish stranded on a barren beach, about to dry out.No...don't give up, it's been a whole year...never fall short...Yi persisted tenaciously.His complexion became more and more ugly, and the speed at which he was drawing true energy had long been unbearable for him.

"Yi Ze! Why is your face so ugly?" Ah Ruan noticed something strange, and the scorching qi from Yi Ze's palm made her unbearable, "...so hot...you..."

"Don't...don't talk..." Beads of sweat poured down from Yi Ze's forehead, "Don't be distracted...just, just...soon..."

"It's been a year, why, why are you still suffering so much? I don't want to see you suffering..." A Ruan's eyes welled up with tears, "Let go... If this continues, you will get hurt!"

"Don't!" Yi Ze's eyes were full of anger, "Never give up! There is still a moment, and it will be... over. Even...even..."

"...Okay." Ah Ruan closed his eyes, two lines of tears slid down from the corners of his eyes.

Yi on the opposite side only felt as if he was in a furnace, and every time he drew his true energy, he endured endless pain of anxiety.I... this is insane... Yi blamed himself, why did he think about those... why did he implicate Ah Ruan...

"Ah——" Yi Ze couldn't hold on any longer, his chest trembled, and blood gushed out of his mouth!

"Yi Ze, you—" Ah Ruan was terrified when he saw the blood gushing from Yi Ze's mouth.Before she could react in time, the powerful impact caused by the sudden interruption of the transmission of true energy knocked her out of consciousness...

"Ah Ruan!" Yi Ze casually wiped the corner of his mouth, and quickly lifted A Ruan into his arms.
