Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

The body was dangled, as if still being swept by the turbulent vortex underwater, but the body was torn apart, but it was not uncomfortable. On the contrary, there was warm light on the body.

I was confused and opened my eyes.

A bright light was in front of my eyes, as if people were in the water, the sun was shining into the sparkling water, and there was a wave of light in front of my eyes, as if countless silverfish were swimming in front of me.

Am I—Are you dead?

However, there is no feeling of suffocation, and it is not painful, but tired and exhausted, as if the entire human soul has been taken away, and the rest is lying with a breath of soft body, even raising his hands to cover The light in front of my eyes has no strength, so I can only lie down like this.

I am still alive? Still dead?

I haven't figured out the problem yet, I heard the sound of water in my ears. No, this water sound is always there, but it is too soft, too light, as natural as sunlight and air, it almost makes people ignore its existence. When I realized, I groaned softly, and immediately, the water was louder.

A dark shadow hangs over my head, slowly leaning down and approaching, I can faintly see that it is a human figure.

A very gentle, clear voice sounded in my ears,

"Girl, are you awake?"

"..."

"Are you better?"

"..."

I am not dead.

When this consciousness emerged in my mind, I stared blankly at the figure in my sight, and there was still sunlight falling down behind, shining on the face, lazy.

I sighed softly.

When jumping from the boat, I was not forced or tortured. I jumped down just to find a relief, even holding the idea of ​​mortal death, and even after falling into the water, I was torn by the undercurrent vortex and cold. The river water was poured into the nose. When I was almost suffocated, I didn't regret it. At that moment, I was just looking forward to it, looking forward to the clean ending of death.

However, I did not expect that even "death" would be so difficult.

I am still alive.

There was no reason to die, it was just because I was too tired and wanted to get rid of it, and now, it seems more tired, and I closed my eyes a little bit shyly.

I heard the voice eagerly saying, "Don't worry, you'll be in the village right away. I'll find a doctor to show you right away. Don't worry!"

After finishing speaking, I heard a sound of wood pulp sliding, and the sound of water in my ears rang again.

It turned out that I was on a boat. However, it seemed that I was not in touch with the royal ship. It was just a small boat. It was so dazzling that in front of me was an outsider who did not know the truth at all.

As the river swayed forward, this swaying gave people a vague, quiet feeling, and I fell asleep again in the sound of the gurgling water.

.

When I woke up again, I opened my eyes and saw not the bright sunshine, but the white mosquito nets above my head, and the sun's mottled light and shadows through the worn mosquito nets.

It took me a while to realize that this is a shabby hut.

The room is not big, but it is clean and clean. The purpose is a simple table and chair. There are two cups on the table and there is a gap. There is no decoration in the room. The light is not very bright. The salty smell of fish and shrimp permeated it, which was not bad, and it had a wonderful fit with this humble hut.

Although it is a strange place, it is not disturbing. On the contrary, the rough shabby feeling makes me feel less worried.

However, when I wanted to move, I found that I had no strength at all.

I don't doubt that I have been injured. I may still be very sick, otherwise I won't move my finger for half a day, I open my mouth to talk, and even my throat is sore because it is useless for too long.

I lay for a long time, and finally accumulated a little strength, pinching my fingers.

active.

I do live.

Thinking of people here is a bit stunned, can't tell whether it is sadness or joy. Although I jumped off the boat at that time, I was really holding on to the idea of ​​dying, and I ate all the hardships, but eventually survived. This feeling was a bit subtle.

As I was thinking, I heard a gurgling sound coming from outside.

I wanted to get up and see, who saved me, thank you, but I found that the situation was worse than I thought. The hands and feet did not listen at all, and they could move except their fingers. Basically, the whole person seemed to be crushed and placed on the bed, like a puppet that had lost its pull line.

I was a bit anxious and wanted to speak. This movement immediately felt a strong bitterness spreading from my mouth, and the pain in my throat from the dry throat caused me to cough.

Immediately, the sound of wailing outside heard.

A footstep sounded, and then the door was opened.

The sunlight seemed to be rushing into this cabin.

I pierced my eyes with the sun, and saw a tall, sturdy figure standing at the door, and then came towards me immediately: "Girl, are you awake ?!"

What caught my eye was an unexpected, handsome face.

The person who looked at me was a young man, about twenty years old, with a straight face, dark skin, and dark and thick eyebrows. His lips were slightly cracked under his tall nose, and his white teeth were exposed. Alas, it has a particularly dazzling feeling.

He is very tall, and there are few such tall men among the southerners. The muscular arms are exposed under the sleeves that are rolled up, and he is a physically fit man.

Is it him who saved me?

I was still looking at him. The man had already leaned down and looked at me with concern, asking, "Do you feel better?"

"you are--"

"Well? Girl, don't you remember me?"

"...?"

I looked at him with more confusion, how to recognize, it was also a strange face.

He looked at me expectantly for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and patted his head: "Oh, look at my brain. At that time, your eyes were inconvenient, and of course I haven't seen me."

Inconvenient for the eyes?

I did have been blind. It was--

Before I think about it, he said with a smile: "Girl, the year before last, you were at Yifeng Inn in Yangzhou. At that time, it was inconvenient for your eyes to see things. It was Huang Ye who was taking care of you. I also give you every day Send chrysanthemum tea and soup medicine, do you remember? Liu Saner, I'm the second in that shop. "

Liu Saner ...?

I suddenly remembered. At that time, I was rescued from Huangya Mountain by Huang Tianba, and I have been wounded in an inn. I still remember that there was a shop Xiao Er taking care of me very much. When I was blindly groping to leave, It was he who helped me out of the door of the inn, and specifically told me that his name was Liu San'er. If it was not convenient, he would go back to him for help.

At that time, I was deeply moved by this concern in my heart. Some of the wealthy and imperial palaces were just intriguing, and tenderness was often paid by these poor people!

But he did not expect that it was him who saved me this time!

I looked at the young man in front of me, and said with some surprise, "It's you!"

"I'm me!" He saw me remembering him, and nodded happily. I smiled cheerfully, feeling that it wasn't appropriate to talk to a man like this in bed, and hurriedly struggling to get up, but Nothing could be moved. Liu San'er looked at me with a slight expression of gloom and said, "Girl, you rest first."

"……Ok?"

"The doctor said, you seem to fall into the water and hurt your lower back, and you can't move for a while."

"..."

I was stupid and tried again, only to find that I really couldn't move at all, and there was almost numbness under the waist.

Looking at my empty eyes, Liu San'er hurriedly said, "But don't worry, the doctor also said that this is the blood that hasn't dissipated yet. It will get better after you're about to breathe for a while."

I was a little bit embarrassed, and froze for a long time in my fear and helplessness that I could not move at all, and then slowly raised my head to look at him, for a long while, and whispered, "I see."

Seeing me depressed, he said busyly, "You just woke up, you must be hungry. I'll get you some food, and when you're full, you will get better."

After speaking, he turned around and went out.

At this time, I turned my head silently and saw the door outside the hole. This is a simple and clean yard surrounded by a fence high in height. The yard is facing a pile of firewood, and a large piece of wood is hanging beside it. There is a small thatched hut in the corner of the fishing net.

It is not a wealthy fisherman.

But okay.

Compared with those who are magnificent and full of gold and silver, I seem to be more comfortable accepting this situation now.

Just thinking, Liu San'er had come in with a bowl of steaming porridge, with some small salted fish and pickles on it, very simple and crude food, but it evoked the most real sense of hunger.

I ate more than half a bowl of porridge in his hands, and people were really comfortable.

He cleaned it up a little before wiping his wet hands and sitting on a stool by the bed, asking me carefully, "Girl, what's the matter with you?"

"..."

"Did you meet a thief? Would you like me to help you?"

"..."

Sudden inquiries suddenly evoked those unfortunate memories, the joy of regaining a new life is in the past, but people are lonely again.

I am still alive and have left him, but now, I am different from me at the beginning. This scarred rebirth is actually no more fortunate than death.

I lowered my eyelids and said gently, "I don't want to mention it again."

Liu San'er looked at me like this, and some scrambled, "Okay, then I won't ask."

I glanced up at him and solemnly said, "Third Brother Liu, thank you, your life-saving grace, I have no teeth to forget."

"Don't say that."

"I don't have any money. I may be harassing you for a while, but I will think of a way--"

As soon as he heard it, he hurriedly waved his hands. Although his face was dark, he could still see some shame, and said, "Girl, don't say that. We are still old acquaintances, and you shouldn't be polite. You can rest and raise your body in peace. Let ’s talk about it. ”

I smiled gratefully.

He suddenly remembered something and said, "Yes, I don't know your name yet."

"Name? ..." When I heard it, I was silent.

I know that I am actually dead once, although there is no surprise to survive, but in the end, I got rid of everything and everything got rid of ...

After a while, I looked up and looked at the humble room around me, the shabby bed, and the people smirking in front of me.

Then I smiled and said, "My name is lightness."
