Chapter 26 Bizarre Woman
In the deep mountains and forests, a well-educated and beautiful woman inexplicably appeared.
A group of people only felt that the Crescent Mountain was getting more and more strange. Leng Changxi told everyone to be careful, that is, to walk directly towards the traces left by this woman.
"Changxi?" Qin Yunuan held Leng Changxi's belt. She knew what he wanted to do, but she was still worried for no reason.
"Don't worry," Leng Changxi looked at the direction of the woman's disappearance. "I have an intuition that woman will take me to a place."
In the mountains and forests, I couldn't tell the difference between day and night. I don't know how long I walked, and the forest finally disappeared. The sun in the distance shone golden light, shining in the eyes of the group of people. A group of people followed the woman all the way until the woman's footprints disappeared on a cliff. Acha explored the towering cliff. He sighed, "I'm good. I didn't expect such a small mountain to have such a high cliff. It must be 50 meters at least." Then he scratched his ears and said, "Did this woman jump off the cliff?"
After observing the terrain of the cliff, Qin Yunuan said, "Not necessarily." Then he picked up the thick-wing vines on the ground and said, "Maybe I went down the cliff with the vines."
"How can this be? She is just a wild woman. If we use such a high cliff under such a poorly stable vine, except for Mr. Tuoba, we may fall down." Acha shook his head and refused to believe it.
Leng Changxi looked at Qin Yunuan and smiled: "Maybe it's true?"
The sun is approaching noon, which shows that Wanyansu's team has been gone for at least one and a half hours. It is a problem whether they can catch up or not. If they still want to waste their time on this cliff that appears for no reason...
Leng Changxi took a look at Qin Yunuan and only said, "Are you afraid?"
Qin Yunuan shook his head. In a blink of an eye, Leng Changxi had carefully pulled out the leaves and thorns of a bundle of vines, tied them to Qin Yunuan's waist, and then turned over, holding Qin Yunuan's waist in one hand, and holding the thickest and longest vine in the other hand. Qin Yunuan only felt the sound of the wind in his ear. After a while, the two arrived at the cliff. Bottom, ask the landing and look up. Acha and the other four people waiting on the cliff are as big as soybeans.
The light at the bottom of the cliff is much darker than the top of the cliff, and there is also a small stream gurgling through the middle. The water is clear and cold. Leng Changxi made a gesture to let Acha standby, that is, pulling Qin Yunuan along the water.
"Changxi?" Qin Yunuan was surprised why Leng Changxi was so sure in this direction, just like he had been here before.
"I know, it's right here." Although Leng Changxi has never been here, he can see clearly in the fantasy that this place leads to the small hut where Jing Donghua and Princess Daqi lived in seclusion.
The clouds at the bottom of the cliff are getting heavier and heavier, and the vast area makes it impossible to see the place ten feet away. Until Leng Changxi faintly heard the rhythmic sound of Dengdeng, which is the sound of the waterwheel. Several local residents' homes will share a waterwheel in places with water in the south of the Yangtze River.
"It's here." Leng Changxi called softly and walked slowly forward. The clouds gradually dissipated, revealing the thatched hut under the blue bamboo forest. The originally clean thatched hut seemed a little bleak. Half of the roofs of the house were gone, and the thatched grass scattered on the ground had also been trampled on mud. A bamboo hedge quietly made the thatched grass. Compared with the unsightly thatched hut, the bamboo fence is neatly planted with a circle of rhododendrons. It can be seen that it is well taken care of, ten times better than the azaleas blooming at the foot of the mountain. The mysterious woman Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi saw in the woods before is attentively taking care of it by the azalea field. Soil fertilization is very enjoyable and proud to watch.
Qin Yunuan understood that this woman worked hard to pick azaleas not to dress up, but to plant. She climbed up from the 50-meter-high cliff with vines and risked down the mountain to pick rhododendrons. How crazy this person should love azaleas. That's why I put so much effort into it.
The woman soon sensed the breath of strangers. She turned her head warily and was very surprised to see Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi appearing in both of them.
"Is it... stuffy, is it a tongue?"
A stammer made Qin Yunuan and Leng Changxi frown slightly. Qin Yunuan leaned against Leng Changxi's ear and said, "She is asking, 'Who are you?' It seems that she hasn't communicated with people for a long time, and she can't even talk.
Leng Changxi looked at this slightly panicked woman and took a step closer. The woman immediately took out the handle of her hands full of countless rusty hoes and turned them at Leng Changxi. She frowned and clenched her teeth tightly. Her defensive appearance was frightening and heartbreaking.
Leng Changxi turned his head and tried his best to look at the woman's appearance. Unfortunately, the woman's hair was loose and described as haggard. Although it could be seen that the hair had been carefully taken care of, it still looked like a pile of grass.
Somehow, Leng Changxi made a bold decision. He silently took off the mask in his hand, revealing the beautiful face that had been hidden under the mask. He looked at the woman with a smile and asked, "Do you recognize me?"
seemed to be shocked. The woman in black looked at Leng Changxi's eyes and became focused in an instant. Unexpectedly, she directly changed from the extremely defensive posture just now to a kind of appreciation. She tilted her head and looked carefully at Leng Changxi, as if she was looking at a work of art. She even approached and took out her rough fingers in Leng Changxi. Rud his face back and forth.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up: "Donghua, are you back?"
Leng Changxi was slightly stunned. Sure enough, there was nothing wrong with his guess. A woman with noble upbringing appeared in Crescent Mountain, struggling to live in this hut, and her light skills must have been taught by a person with strong martial arts skills.
Leng Changxi didn't say anything, just made a "um" sound from his throat.
This syllable was light, but it made the woman burst into tears. She pulled Leng Changxi bitterly, like a baby she hadn't seen for many years: "Donghua, do you know how much I miss you? You left me on the Crescent Mountain. At that time, loyalty came to save me. I wanted to go with him, but I still couldn't bear it. I don't believe you will send someone to harm me and our children. That's right, what about our children?
The woman hurriedly looking for something and deeply stung Leng Changxi. Needless to say, Qin Yunuan also knew the woman's true identity. She was the veritable eldest princess - Princess Qinghe.
It turned out that the eldest princess of Daqi did not die on the way to make friends as folklore, nor did she live in seclusion in Weiyang Palace as secret stories in the palace, and was finally burned to death by a strange fire.
But the question is, if this person is the real eldest princess, who is the one who was burned to death in the Weiyang Palace? Who can pretend to be the eldest princess so that even the emperor and the empress dowager can't tell whether it is true or false?
The woman suddenly fell. Fortunately, she was dragged by Qin Yunuan in time. The woman said, "My child, Donghua, I'm sorry, I can't leave him by my side. I let Zhongyi take him away. Zhongyi is a good person. He will treat our children well, etc. When he grows up, maybe he doesn't know who his parents are, but I still love him, because that's our child.
Speaking of this, Leng Changxi's eyes were inexplicably wet. He was rarely moved so much. The person in front of him was the mother who brought him to this world in October, but his mother waited for more than 20 years to wait for an ungrateful and unhearted man at the bottom of the cliff.
"Hualang, come and have a look." The woman pulled Leng Changxi's sleeve with her dirty hand and changed her name to a very intimate Hualang. The shy look on her face looked like that of an 18- or nine-year-old innocent girl.
"This is your favorite rhododendron. Every time you came, you would pick one from the bottom of the mountain and bring it to me. Now I have planted one for you. Are you happy?"
"Mother...mother?" Leng Changxi choked out this title. His title to Princess Ning has always been a mother's concubine, and he has never been able to shout out a real mother in his life.
"Donghua, what did you call me for?" The eldest princess was a little surprised and looked at Leng Changxi with her big eyes open.
The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Qin Yunuan immediately came forward to relieve the siege: "The eldest princess is tired. There is clear water by this stream. Changxi, go and play some. I'll dress up for the eldest princess."
Qin Yunuan said to the eldest princess like a child, "Your Highness, please."
Entering this half of the thatched hut, Qin Yunuan really realized the belief that the eldest princess lived alone in such an environment. Because half of the thatched huts had collapsed, the eldest princess moved all the furniture and things that could be used to another room.
Even though the room was already crowded, the eldest princess still put a silver makeup box in the most conspicuous position. Although the makeup box was polished, there was nothing inside.
"This makeup box was given to me by Donghua." When the eldest princess saw Qin Yunuan's eyes fall on this makeup box, she explained with a smile, "I'm afraid that I will put something in it and break this box. I took it out a few years ago. Look, the things in this room are so easy to break, but this one can't be broken."
So many things have been used for 20 years, and they will naturally go bad. As soon as it rained, the house seemed to be leaking. It could be seen that the remaining half of the hut was about to collapse. I really don't know where the eldest princess would go if the only place to live was gone.
"Jinzhi, what are you still doing? Didn't you say you wanted to bathe for me? Don't you know how to serve?" Although the eldest princess has lived alone for 20 years, the breath of the royal family in her bones has not dissipated, but who is the "Jinzhi" in her mouth just now?
