Chapter 54 Burning Yiling
When the first ray of sunshine in the spring morning shone on Qiu Yao's buttocks through the window, Qiu Yao woke up from her sleep. Her clothes were intact and the sheets were not messy at all. If it hadn't been for the slight discomfort under her body, she almost thought that everything last night was just a beautiful dream.
Song Yu didn't know where she was going. Qiu Yao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she looked at the empty bed beside her. When she got up, she found that the quilt under her had been changed. A stream of blood rushed straight to the top of her head. She couldn't help but go back to the day in Chu Palace when she came out of his room with a quilt stained with her aunt and was hit by him. When I encountered it, the corners of my mouth twitched, lifted the quilt and got out of bed. Only then did I find that it was already dawn outside, and I slept until this time, and others would inevitably think of that aspect.
Hungry, she walked to the window to see the situation outside, but the door was pushed open from the outside inappropriately. At first, Qiu Yao thought it was Song Yu. When she turned around, she saw Grandma Chen, who came in with breakfast, and squeezed out a smile that she thought was more natural. Qiu Yao came forward to take over the basin and the basin.
"I'll do these things by myself. How can I bother you?"
"It's okay. Anyway, I'm an old woman who is idle." Grandma Chen looked at Qiu Yao with a smile. " Mr. Song went out at dawn."
Qiu Yao answered with some embarrassment. She washed her face, ate breakfast and went out and shook for a while. Before long, she saw a group of people gathered around the entrance of the village and looked in one direction. She looked up, but saw that the sky not far away had been dyed into gray by thick smoke, and the smoke and clouds continued to spread around, which showed how fierce the fire below it was. Fierce.
The two old women fell down one after another. Qiu Yao was so scared that she quickly picked her up with several other villagers, and then several women cried to the thick smoke and fell to the ground.
"Where is the fire?" Qiu Yao frowned. The place where the fire must be of great significance to the people here, otherwise they would not be sad.
"That's my royal mausoleum of the State of Chu... Those conscienceless Qin people..." A woman sitting on the ground cried loudly. Qiu Yao was shocked. The burial place has an extraordinary significance for most people, not to mention to these Chu people who attach importance to the witch Nuo ancestral system.
The two armies fought, attacked the city and burned the mausoleum. They not only wanted to destroy the army of the Chu people, but also wanted to cut off the confidence of the Chu people.
Qiu Yao looked at the thick smoke and her heart cooled down. She helped to help the old people who had cried and fainted back to their homes. Hearing that others were cursing the arrogance and ferocity of the Qin people all the way, her heart gradually sank.
The whole village was shrouded in mourning clouds for a day. When Qiu Yao returned to Grandma Chen's home, she heard the quiet sobs in the inner room. With the comfort of Eunuch Chen's sigh, she felt even more indescribably uncomfortable. She consciously went to the kitchen to help make a fire and prepare dinner, but she clumsily played hard for a day. After a fire, just as she was about to start cooking, Grandma Chen came in with the help of Grandpa Chen while wiping her tears. Qiu Yao was a little embarrassed with the corners of her clothes.
"Girl, let me do it." Grandma Chen wiped her face with her sleeve again. Qiu Yao stepped aside and looked at the old couple cooking together.
We share difficulties and work hand in hand. If only she and Song Yu had such a day, how good it would be.
After dinner, Qiu Yao returned to her room early to rest. The weather became warmer, and the time of the day seemed to be extended. When she returned to the room, it was not completely dark. The white sword hung on the wall, and Qiu Yao sat on the edge of the bed and looked at it quietly.
If the villagers knew that this was Bai Qi's sword, they didn't know how to deal with it.
She suddenly felt a sense of guilt. She stepped forward and took off the sword on the wall, and casually found an old coat to cover it. It was getting late, and such a big thing happened over there. Song Yu must not come back tonight. Qiu Yao nested into the quilt and looked at the top of the bed and thought about how to spend the next few days. After thinking about it for a long time, there was no complete plan. It was completely dark, and the sleepiness gradually came.
She was extremely afraid of the dark, but she was used to the days when such a person waited for the night to come early, and she had slowly overcome this difficulty. It is still a little cool at night in late spring. Even if the people who return in the middle of the night can try their best not to wake up the sleeping people with the sound of opening the door, they can't stop the cool night wind from pouring into the room.
After leaving home, Qiu Yao slept very lightly. After feeling the noise, she opened her eyes and saw the door gently closed from the inside.
"Ziyuan..." Qiu Yao called carefully and faintly saw a figure walking to the bedside through the curtain. She put her coat on the table and lifted the curtain. An almost inaudible sigh came to her ears. Qiu Yao's heart tightened. Seeing him get into the quilt but not close to her, she reached out to find his hand. He But it shrank back again.
"Cool." He spit out a word indifferently, and the tiredness that could not be concealed in his words. In the dark, she couldn't see his face clearly, but his frown still appeared in her mind.
Qiu Yao clenched his hand stubbornly and put her warmth into his palm little by little. "It's okay."
Song Yu held her in his arms and enjoyed this moment of warmth. "After the end of summer, I will take you out of here."
Qiu Yao answered gently and leaned quietly in his arms. The two of them hugged each other and slept without saying much.
After the fourth update, Song Yu easily opened her hands around her waist. The person in front of him moved gently. He knew that she had woken up, but did not look back. He got up and put on his coat and walked back to the bed. Looking at her little face trying to pretend to be asleep, he leaned over her forehead and kissed her gently.
"Song Ziyuan, I love you."
The door was gently closed, Qiu Yao moved forward a little, slept in the place where he had just slept, and closed her eyes again in the night. Of course, she knew how much energy he would spend to ride back and forth in order to accompany her for an hour or two. If it were the previous Qiu Yao, she would have persuaded him to stay there and rest for a while, but now that she knew that he cared about her, she knew that such care would only make him more difficult.
He wanted to see her safe, so she obediently let him know how peaceful she was.
The daily sad expression of the villagers made Qiu Yao understand the importance of Yiling in her heart. She didn't know how sad Song Yu was after learning about this incident. He only stayed here for an hour or two every night. She couldn't see the fatigue on his face clearly, and he didn't want her to see it.
The king of Chu fled east, and Bai Qi led the army to pursue. The Ying of the State of Chu became the south county of the Qin people. Qiu Yao stayed in the lonely but peaceful village day and night to avoid the world.
At the end of summer, it seemed to be much farther away than she expected.
