Chapter Thirty-Five: The Kidnapped Past
Autumn is getting thicker, and the cool breeze ruffles the long moat surrounding Chang'an City in Kyoto.
The maple leaves are dancing, and the red boat is ferrying thousands of miles, until it reaches the prosperous distance, and Paoma Yuan is far away.
The Hehu paddock has long been peaceful.
The hillside is vast and stretches straight to the sky.
The withered yellow grass is like a piece of yellow silk naturally paved between heaven and earth.
Under the cool sunshine, two thin shadows, one black and one purple, are riding in the wind. This is the time when the young man is full of energy.
The wind blew her hair, and the purple dress flew in the air with the butterflies at the ends of the sleeves. The white curtains and the sunshine added a bit of holiness to her.
Dai Moxue is very obedient and docile. She stops or runs on the grass according to her master's instructions. Even in this deserted autumn day, she gives people a bright feeling.
"How is it? Do you still have the same demeanor as before?"
Gu Yisheng gently pulled the reins, and Dai Moxue seemed to have a mental connection with her, swaying her flexible tail and immediately stopped.
"Um...it's...okay."
Fu Zhiyan was just gazing at Gu Yisheng, who was racing happily, and suddenly started to stutter when he was called by little Gu.
Lifting the fence coquettishly, Gu Yisheng playfully stuck out her tongue at Fu Zhiyan and continued to ride the horse.
The joy and joy that I had never experienced in my previous life as Wang Baochuan were all felt when riding horses against the wind.
Don't feel happy in your heart.
Through the memory of the original owner Gu Yisheng, some fragments of the past came to her mind when she was running a horse.
The wind swept up her memory, and with the bumps of the horse riding, she returned to the time when Gu Yisheng was ten years old.
Broken jade bracelets, broken flags, rough hemp ropes.
The ten-year-old Gu Yisheng was tied up in a dilapidated house, surrounded by darkness, and it was impossible to tell whether it was night or day.
She looked around blankly, with unconcealable fear on her face.
Helpless, silent...
As the only daughter of Gu Youpuse, the reason why she is in such a place is all because of a boy named Zhang Geming.
Easy trust - I thought children were the purest, but I didn't expect it to be the ticket to the abyss.
The sound of liquid dripping all around continued...
I don't know if it's water or blood...
"My noble third wife of the Gu family, today I want to give you a taste of the Asura Hell."
A ferocious face, a deep scar, and a bleeding tip.
"Humph, you made me angry, I want you to do something for me!"
The boy named Zhang Geming said some misleading words intentionally or unintentionally.
"Hmm? What are you going to do?"
Little Gu Yisheng was full of suspicion and didn't understand this person's intention, so she asked.
"It's very simple. Pick up the ball I just kicked away."
Little Gu Yisheng felt confused and a little hesitant.
"But Aye Aniang told me not to go to dark places. Besides, you kicked the ball away yourself, so I don't know why you suddenly got angry~"
"Stop talking nonsense. When I say I'm angry, I'm angry. You Gu family members can't be so indecisive, right? You have no backbone at all."
That Ge Ming had a small face, and his small body looked as terrifying as the Netherworld Yama.
"But……"
"It's okay to say goodbye." The boy took off the jade pendant on Gu Yisheng's body and held it high so that Gu Yisheng couldn't get it. "Go pick it up quickly, or I won't return it to you."
"Give it back to me! That's my birthday gift!" Gu Yisheng jumped up, but couldn't reach it.
"Go pick it up and I'll give it back to you. A little girl will only be shy and do bad things."
Zhang Geming raised his face with a look of disgust, as if to say: "Women are the most useless things in this world, they are just tools for men - apart from honestly giving birth to children, managing housework, and serving them
, it has no value and does not deserve any respect." Generally.
What an unreasonable and annoying request.
Before little Gu Yisheng could find the ball, a strong man lurking in the alley blindfolded his eyes with a cloth bag.
There was a commotion around, and the noisy voices of children could be heard.
Maybe someone who was kidnapped like her has woken up.
"Wow...I want to go out, I want to go home!"
The child spoke out coquettishly and did something that little Gu Yisheng didn't even dare to do.
"Zila——"
It's the sound of a knife piercing a blood vessel.
Sure enough, when you don't know what the situation is, waiting and watching is the right choice.
Silence is gold.
"You rag-tag children, I'm telling you, don't make a sound. If one of you accidentally cries loudly, you will end up like him."
Xiao Gu only felt that his face was wet. He didn't know whether it was tears or the blood spattered by the death of the child just now.
Fear is like tears - or the blood that symbolizes the passing of the child's life, slowly rising little by little.
The first time she saw life disappear was at the age of ten, when she was still young and vigorous - only ten years before she was born.
The one who was talking just now...a life.
Then, will the next one be me?
Even if she is obedient, what will he do to her?
"Hey, this belongs to the Gu family. It's really rare. Thanks to that guy Zhang Geming, he's so smart. I want to thank him very much."
Stinky, dark.
A small dark room with no light, food and water.
All the noble and famous disciples around him fell ill and died one by one not long after.
Little Gu Yisheng was also fed something and gradually became weak.
This dark room is more terrifying than the burial ground.
"The blood of your noble lady is the most precious. It should be able to save many people, right?"
"We dare not go out. If there is not enough food, we will kill them..."
Someone cut her arm open and let the blood flow out.
Inevitably, his arm was pulled open and bleeding occurred.
If it continues like this, I don't know when it will turn into a mummy sooner or later.
Once, someone came to the door and called the guard away.
She took this opportunity to break away from the rope and asked for help from the stammering beggar-in-law. Even though she was saved in the end, it still left a lot of shadows in her heart.
What disease requires human blood to cure?
The sudden loss of life may have stung her nerves, made her indifferent, and made her unable to trust anyone.
The smell of blood and the feeling of changing from warm to cold were unforgettable to her, and she still feels sick.
Fu Zhiyan, who was accidentally rescued at the age of eleven, became his master.
She was always shunned by others, but he tried his best to protect her - whether it was his face or his life.
He always believed that she could create miracles.
She is no worse than a boy.
Only by mastering enough abilities can you protect yourself.
Only then can we kill the evildoers and embrace peace.
It's a pity that at the time - she was still immersed in the depression after being kidnapped. Perhaps this reaction was a bit excessive - she no longer dared to trust anyone except her family - even if it was Fu Zhi who was really good to her.
Word.
