Chapter 38 The Grace of a Meal

Well, it's not important. If you owe it, you have to remember it, and you have to pay it back. Even if - at the cost of this blood body!

Night

Lu Guo. Ying Tiangong.

The most mysterious hall dedicated to the high priests of the State of Lu. The roots and stone pillars are hidden at the top of the darkness, and the palace under the dark night seems to be so secluded and sad.

At night under the blue and black sky, the two phantoms underneath are difficult to ignore.

"There has been no movement there recently."

"No hurry. She will come out sooner or later.

Hearing the words, the man who looked up at the full moon on the sky withdrew his sight, and a pair of cold eyes looked at the woman who was smiling faintly. In his eyes, there was a trace of ripples invisible.

A few emotions are hidden.

I didn't pay attention to the man's expression at this time. The woman's face was calm, and there was still a deep smile on the corners of her mouth. "This time, I want to see how long he can protect her."

The woman's extremely light words frightened the man beside her, "Xuanwu, don't take risks." He frowned.

"I have been carefully considered, and the word adventure will never be used on me." The woman finally looked back at him, "What do you think, Yizhi?"

Xuanwu curled his head and looked at the man who was called Yizhi. His eyes were full of stars, and every flash was a touch of firmness.

She looked at him, so direct, without dodging, no avoidance, and no humility. And the handsome man also didn't feel that it was inappropriate at all.

The relationship between him and her is so subtle. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a gentleman and she is a minister. And only he knows that what he cares about most in his life is the woman in front of him.

But does she have the same idea as him?

More than friendship and love, she positioned his selfishness in a position where his lover was not full, but he was cowardly unable to say a word of resistance.

What's more, she has something more important than him in her heart: revenge.

Hate? Hatred! He didn't understand what kind of hatred could make such a beautiful woman get together with the darkness from now on and make it a goal to live?

She never told him about this. And he, as long as she says a word, will help her for no reason, because there is only him behind her. That shoulder was so thin that he couldn't help but hold up a paradise for her...

Shi Yizhi just looked at her and stopped talking.

In fact, in the face of her, he is always a compromise, and every time, there is no suspense.

It seemed that he didn't want to face that kind of expression. Xuanwu crossed the unknown light in his eyes, forcing himself to turn his face apart, leaving the man with a thin but straight back.

A burst of suffocation...

"Yizhi," just as he was about to take the lead in breaking the deadlock, the woman said to him first: "Have you ever been hungry?"

Her voice was a little distant, as if it was slowly coming from the distant sky, floating in this silent empty hall, fleeting.

She didn't look back, but she knew the eyes behind her that twisted her tightly. She closed her eyes, and the raised corners of her mouth only made people feel sad and sad. No one saw that the hand hidden in the sleeve had been pulled tightly and white...

"I've been hungry." She opened her eyes, and a faint confusion flowed from her eyes. "That winter was so cold. It was snowy and raining, and you could hear a crisp sound when you hit the ground. As the end of the year is approaching, every family has red lights, couplets, firecrackers, and it's so lively. The rain and snow didn't affect them at all!"

She said relaxedly, "The children are wearing thick new clothes, gnawing hot rice cakes in their hearts, cheering and chasing all the way with a small umbrella. Their laughter can be heard all over the street.

"Where was I at that time?" The woman seemed to have some difficult memories, and suddenly said, "Oh! At that time, I was hiding in the corner of the door of a family! Although it can protect against some wind and rain, I still have to worry about what to do if the host family finds out that he has been kicked out? I have no place to go! Ha ha, you know, at that time, I looked at the rice cakes in the hands of the children and thought to myself: If I can take a bite, I have counted this year."

She only said, but did not find that the man behind her had frowned and missed the deep pity in his eyes.

"I'm cold and hungry. I know I can't stand it anymore, but I'm not reconciled! But what if you are unwilling? A beggar like me dies several times every day. Who will see it?

The woman's eyes became gloomy, but suddenly flashed into the endless brilliance and became dazzling. "But I'm still lucky after all. When I opened my eyes with my last bit of strength to take a last look at this world that I never missed, do you know what I saw? A hot steamed bun! It's really a steamed bun, and it's still steaming!"

"I still remember her appearance. A very beautiful woman, that is, she gave me steamed buns and smiled at me gently. She was the first person to smile at me. The way she smiled was so beautiful... Because of her steamed bread, I survived, but later when I wanted to find her, I heard the news that she committed suicide..."

The woman's memories stopped abruptly, but no one felt abrupt.

He thought, he understood. I understand that every New Year's meal must have a steamed bun; I know that every time she shows happiness in the steamed bun, there is an expression of deep hatred; I understand that on that on that specific day, she will bring incense candles back to Qi and go to worship her.

"The woman who is kind to you is the Shangguan Empress who died early in the State of Qi."

She rewarded with a lifetime of hatred for the kindness of a meal.

Xuanwu, is this all your stories? A secret you, all of you?

"Xuanwu, have you ever thought that if that lady has a spirit in heaven, she doesn't want you to indulge in hatred and can't extricate herself."

"You don't have to persuade me. I won't take revenge. I won't be a human being. If it weren't for her, Yizhi, how could you and I meet?

The woman's tone immediately became sharp, with a strong sense of reprimand.

He knows that he can't beat hers. In the past, now he knows everything. What's his position?

Support her as always, give her strength, even if she hates, and let him help her share some.

Looking at the woman with sharp thorns like a hedgehog, Shi Yizhi had already softened his eyebrows, and what flowed in his eyes was pity, just pity.

Did she know that she looked at her trembling back when she spoke? She was delicate, but she was still stubborn and straight. It was her who spoke, but it was him who hurt her. Did she know how desperate he wanted to hold her in his arms at that time and tell her: She still has him?

However, he also knew that she had her pride, and those crazy ideas cooled down in her slightly angry eyes.

"I will always be by your side, Xuanwu..."

A sigh overflowed in the air. Although it was light, the promise was immortal...
