Chapter 31
The hunting has become chaotic because of this assassination accident.
The prince and sons ordered the guards to patrol in the camp, and they all stood on guard. The ladies of the family shrank into a ball in fear, as if the assassin was about to jump off the mountain in the next second.
A few ladies tried to rush into the prince's arms, taking this opportunity to show their weak side, maybe they could squeeze out the current prince and become the new prince.
During the time of the prince Yizhuxiang, he caught the three women who fell in front of him. He was very helpless, so he had to call the five princes and let him count the number of them and rectify the guards.
The third child is a flowery, unreliable. The second child is still low-key and normal, but now he is seriously injured and lying in the hood. Among the princes, only the fifth is the most savvy and capable.
The fifth prince knew that his prince’s eldest brother was so mediocre that he would be in a hurry and burnt when he encountered this kind of thing, so he smiled slightly and poured a cup of tea for the prince: "The eldest brother has been busy all day, and the headache is normal, and the gods can’t. The shaft turns like this. Why not rest a while and let the fifth brother do the work?"
The prince breathed a sigh of relief: "So, there will be five brothers."
The fifth prince left the tent, and the smile on his face immediately faded. He acted neatly and passed the order, whoever dared to yell and disturb people's hearts would be punished as a crime. The guards were divided into three columns, one column went up the mountain to investigate the traces of the assassins, the other column escorted the aristocratic ladies back to their homes, and the other column stayed to guard. A few more people were sent to the palace to report the matter, and the chaotic camp was quickly reorganized.
Immediately, he called an entourage and asked, "Which family is the young man who hunted the Snow Wolf King today?"
The entourage replied: "His Royal Highness Huiwu is the third son of King Ning's Mansion."
The fifth prince looked at the elder son by the bonfire, and suddenly locked his eyes on the young man wearing a black and red narrow-sleeved hunting suit.
There is no other reason, that boy has outstanding temperament and stands out from the crowd.
The world around him was noisy, like a dozen chickens flapping their wings in a panic, but he stood in the crowd without even raising his eyelids, looking calm and cold.
It looks like this, it doesn't look like an ordinary prince, but rather the embryonic form of a royal child.
The fifth prince couldn't help but looked at the boy several times.
The fifth prince walked over and smiled at Lu Huan: "Congratulations, the hero was born a boy. If I remember correctly, the third son of King Ning's Mansion is only 14 years old, and he is only 15 years old now."
Lu Huan handed the straw lantern to others, raised his eyes, and said, "His Royal Highness I've been rewarded."
It was not the first time he saw the five princes. Last time he went to the Hubu Shangshu appointment as the genius doctor of Yongan Temple, he saw the horses of the five princes in the stables at Zhong Ganping Mansion, and guessed that the fifth princes were also there. Behind the screen.
The second prince was assassinated this time, and it looked like a cloud of fog. I don’t know whether it was caused by the bandits or the uprising/rebels, but Lu Huan guessed that it might not be the case, but—not the fifth prince or the second prince himself. The thief shouted to catch the thief.
Of course, based on Lu Huan's guess about the five princes, although these five princes are only a few years older than himself, and the youngest among the princes, they seem naive, but in fact they have deep thoughts. He shouldn't be surprised. If the assassination is unsuccessful, he should be the first to be suspected. Therefore, he might have other plans. When the second prince led the investigation to him, he then produced evidence to make the emperor think it was the second prince who directed and performed himself and planted his brother.
Of course, it wouldn't matter to Lu Huan who would win the game.
The dark tide was raging between the princes in the capital, and the situation was dangerous. He had no intention of participating in these things, but that person—
That person was a world-class expert who came and went freely and was proficient in organ arithmetic. Why did he suddenly save the second prince today?
Is it... on the side of the second prince?
Or did the forces on either side not stand, and only saved people out of good intentions?
If the second prince is standing on the side and wants to support the second prince, then, these days, helping yourself in this way is to nurture yourself, let yourself stand firm in the capital, and then help the second prince because of kindness?
Yes, that person has laid so much for him to gain prestige in the capital as a genius doctor. It shouldn't be purposeless.
But if you think so, many other things that person does are completely purposeless... such as the bowl of birthday noodles, such as taking care of yourself...
Or in other words, saving the second prince today is not a plan, but just whatever you want. Out of kindness, the man saw the second prince injured and fell to the ground, so he helped him...
However, the wound on the second prince’s chest, the powder was spread so evenly——
When Lu Huan remembered, he pierced in his heart, and there was a trace of gloom in his eyes, just to save him? Why do you pour so many Jinchuang drugs with such concern? Was it by hand? What kind of wiping? They all pulled away the robe of the second prince and wiped it on his skin...!
For fear that the second prince bleeds to death, leaving the lantern for the guards to find out as soon as possible?
This is obviously not just a rescue! But some care! ...It's no less than taking care of myself that night, letting myself go away from the high fever.
——So, will there be anyone else next?
It turns out that the person's gaze is not just on himself?
...Isn't you unique, but just one of them? !
Lu Huan didn't know what the purpose of that person was, but whether that person saved the second prince, because of the former or the latter, in his heart, he felt like he was robbed of something after being poured cold water on his head. Some important things are out of breath... and even feel anxious and jealous because of this.
When Lu Huan looked gloomy, the fifth prince couldn't help but look at him more. At the moment when this young man raised his eyes, the fifth prince actually felt that he looked a little like his handsome and cold father.
But how is it possible?
The fifth prince wondered if it was too dark in the camp. He read it wrong. He smiled and said: "After the assassin incident is over, the father should be hunting for Qiuyan Mountain in ten days. Before that, you can ask Think about what reward you want."
After speaking, he turned to congratulate the other sons.
The hunting was over. Someone from King Ning's Mansion went to announce the good news, saying that Lu Huan took the lead. The entire King Ning's Mansion was shocked. It was completely unexpected that Lu Huan would be able to directly fight the Qiuyan Mountain hunting and win the first place. !
It is not easy to hunt down the Snow Wolf King, not to mention that the Third Young Master has just turned fourteen and is still a full-fledged young man. Although everyone in King Ning's Mansion knew that he was much stronger than the young master and the second young master, he was very powerful when he carried the bucket, and the examiner was able to pierce Yang with a hundred steps when he came to take the test, but because there was no other comparison, and there was no chance for him to shoot. , didn't know that he could still hunt down the first level of the Snow Wolf King!
... But the old lady came from General Zhen Yuan's mansion. When General Zhen Yuan calmed down the frontier fortress when he was young, she was brave and good at fighting. Could it be that the Third Young Master inherited the blood of General Zhen Yuan?
The old lady naturally thought the same way. Before, I felt that none of her three grandchildren had inherited the military strength value of General Zhen Yuan's mansion, but now... she was overjoyed and couldn't help herself with excitement.
She originally sent Lu Huan to the Qiuyan Mountain to hunt, naturally expecting him to catch up with the second prince. But today, the guard came back and reported that it was Lu Huan who hadn’t talked with the second prince at all during the hunt in the Qiuyan Mountain. She was very disappointed, and blamed herself for being too angular and not knowing how the court made friends. !
But I never expected that what the grandson had done far exceeded his expectations, and he won the first prize directly!
......In this way, not only will you be able to make friends with the second prince, you may even be favored by the emperor on the day of the reward! !
The old lady was overjoyed. If it weren't for being too ostentatious, telling other mansions to see it, and she could not go to the ground for the time being due to rheumatism, she would like to set a table for her grandson. But even so, she immediately asked the mother next to her to send Lu Huan some clothing rewards, and expressed the old lady's congratulations on her behalf.
And Mrs. Ning Wang and the brothers Lu Yuan and Lu Wenxiu who were lying on the bed were naturally frustrated.
However, this is another story.
...
Lu Huan led the stables to the courtyard and tied them to the stakes, fed the horses in a low mood, and then returned to the house.
Last night, as always, he left a note and new wood carvings in the small wooden box on the legs of the table, but the man went to Qiuyan Mountain today and saved the second prince with all his energy. He didn’t even have time to go under the pear tree to tell himself. Naturally, I don’t have time to pay attention to my little notes and wood carvings, right?
Although thinking so, he stared at the legs of the table for a moment, pursed his lips, and pulled out the small wooden box.
However, saw it—I have never been passive.
...
Lu Huan's heart seemed to be twisted by a hand, and jealousy and anxiety for no reason entangled his heart...
He knows that he shouldn’t be like this, he shouldn’t be so greedy, he wants to see that person, wants to know what that person looks like, what his voice looks like, and that only he can meet, touch and see. , I have it, and even want what that person has done to him, I have done it to him alone. How can he be such a greedy person in the world? ! It's so greedy that it's disgusting!
...But he just...just can't control those possessive thoughts...just sad...
It seems that I am not unique anymore.
Lu Huan blew the cold wind all day, and his skin was also extremely cold at this time.
He looked at the empty table and fell silent, not knowing what note to leave today——
Asked why the person did not attend the appointment? Is it necessary to ask about this matter? If you ask, it might be annoying.
Uncover this, pretend it hasn't happened, leave anything else?
Lu Huan tried his best to concentrate, spread the paper on the table, lifted the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper:
——"You don't seem to be here today, but it's okay. I didn't wait long.
Something happened, so I left midway. Sorry. "
After writing, Lu Huan looked at the note, pursed his lips, and was not satisfied. He was a little upset, crumpled the paper into a ball, and burned it on the candle flame.
He doesn't know what to write today, he wants to ask many things in his mind, but knows that the person will not give any answer...
He had never been so messed up in his heart, involuntarily looking at the rabbit lamp under the eaves, but he immediately remembered the same straw lamp that the man had left after saving the second prince. Lu Huan's eyelashes trembled, and his heart was entangled by jealousy that he couldn't control. He closed his eyes, put down the pen, and washed the blood on his face and body, and then went to bed early.
...
Suxi's eating speed can be said to be very fast, but after washing the dishes, she was going to wash the dishes as usual. She was pushed into the kitchen by her mother, and her face suddenly resented: "Mom! Why am I washing the dishes again? Why not stay in the hospital? ."
"Don't talk nonsense like this." Mother Su immediately taught her with a grimace, and urged: "Hurry up and finish washing the dishes, go back to the room and review for a while, isn't it going to be a monthly exam tomorrow?"
Suxi had to limped into the kitchen, and it took ten minutes to wash the dishes quickly, then hurriedly returned to the room and turned on the phone.
... Now the cub should be asleep.
Sure enough, when she went online, the quilt on the bed had been arched into a small ball, like a small hill. Suxi had a pigeon cub today, and she still felt a little guilty in her heart, and was thinking about what to send him to make up for him. .
But first, let’s take a look at what note he left. Maybe he complained about why he didn’t come... But with Zaizai’s character, even if I was disappointed in my heart, the note left must be-- "Well, no, it’s okay. I didn't go anyway." Zai Zai kept duplicity and dumbfounded.
Thinking about this, Suxi was amused by herself, and gently moved the legs of the table away.
However, she was stunned at once, and there was a trace of incredible in her eyes.
No--?
There is no note in the leg of the table? !
Zai Zai don't have a note today? ! !
Damn it! ! This is the first time he hasn't left any note to himself! Is this because I didn't keep the appointment and I was making a temper? ! No, this is too kind for kindergarten children, right? !
Suxi suddenly looked at the wooden bed with a dumbfounded cry. Cub was sleeping towards the wall, holding his head in one hand and resting his eyelid on the other. It seemed that he was sleeping very restlessly, his eyebrows were still frowned, and he was worried.
Suxi zoomed in on the interface, and saw that there were some slight wounds on the neck of the cub, which was very conspicuous on the white neck. It should have been injured during the hunt today, but it was blocked by blood in the afternoon and didn't notice it...
Her guilt was immediately x20.
Suxi wants to do something. Put some medicine on his neck first, and then leave a picture of "bearing jingle please guilt", and apologize-I just don't know if Cub knows this allusion. Or redeem some other little things from the mall to make Zai Zai happy. But when she was sitting on the bed and just about to open the mall, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open.
Mother Su asked: "Xi Xi, why haven't you started studying yet?"
Suxi was so frightened that her mobile phone fell to the ground, so she picked it up quickly, but just as soon as she picked it up, she was taken away by her mother. She said, "It's okay to play games in the hospital every day, anyway, it's due to illness. Rest, but now I’m back to school, don’t play every day. What’s more, you have to take a test tomorrow, have you finished your review?"
Suxi stretched out her hand to grab it, but Su's mother raised her phone all at once and said sternly: "You also grabbed the phone with me. I think you are addicted to games!"
Suxi's face wrinkled aggrieved: "Mom, ten minutes, let me use my phone for another ten minutes."
"I'll talk after you finish the exam." Mother Su took her mobile phone and walked out, saying: "If you don't get into the top three in the class...Forget it, you have lost a lot of homework these days, then you won't get into the top ten, and the phone will be permanently confiscated. ."
Suxi was startled: "Mom——!"
Mother Su had closed the door and went out, and told Dad Su to bring in a glass of milk later.
Suxi scratched her head anxiously, but she glanced at the untouched paper on the table, and then at the wall clock on the wall, knowing she should review it. If this continues, not only will Su's mother worry about her, she herself has been addicted to games, and she will also worry about herself. She has always been determined and has good grades, but now she does spend too much energy on the game. If her grades drop, she will immediately end up in the third year of high school with disastrous consequences.
But she was really worried about the cubs.
But the exam is only two and a half days. Fortunately, there are only seven or eight days in the game, so there should be no surprises. Now that the farm is running smoothly, the plot of the Qiuyan Mountain hunting has passed, and the cubs have successfully come to the top. In King Ning's Mansion, because of the old lady's attention, Mrs. Ning and Lu Yuan and Lu Wenxiu can't make any moths for the time being. Coupled with the smartness of Cub Bingxue, there is no need to worry about him too much.
Wait until the exam is over before looking for him.
Thinking about this, Suxi settled down, and first went to the desk and opened the review book.
...
Lu Huan tossed over and over again that night, and did not sleep well. The next day, heavy goose feathers began to fall outside the window. It should be the last snow in the cold winter. The grass in the yard grew a little, showing a little spring. Signs.
After he opened his eyes, he subconsciously looked at the table, with a complicated expression on his face.
Last night, he didn't leave any notes to that person, but don't know if that person will take the initiative to leave something... Maybe it was to leave some hints to tell him about the second prince?
Lu Huan didn't expect that person to explain the fact that he hadn't been to the appointment. After all, the man never promised him to go to the appointment. He waited for a day, didn't wait for someone to come, no wonder that person, he... is difficult for a strong man.
After calming down for a night, Lu Huan also knew that he was upset last night, because the man came to Qiuyan Mountain, but he went to save the second prince and did not come to see him, because the man carefully applied the wounding medicine to the second prince. It's too ridiculous to leave behind the same lantern as you gave yourself and feel angry, and give birth to some jealous feelings you shouldn't have...
In other words, these days, have communicated with that person on a note and got the company, kindness and gentleness of that person... These are things that he has never got from his birth till now, so that he has a kind of that person. The illusion of being by his side. It's he who is too good at it.
Lu Huan calmed down, thinking in his heart, if the person left something last night, he would directly ask today why he saved the second prince. If the person still refuses to answer as always, then he refuses to answer. As long as the person is still there, these are not big things. The heavy and gloomy possessiveness in his heart should also be reduced slightly...
He was wearing a shirt and walked to the edge of the table, still holding some expectation in his heart——
He concentrated, and pulled out the small box from the leg of the table.
If the person left behind something, he—he doesn't care about the fact that the person has not been to the appointment.
Lu Huan took the small box in his hand, almost afraid to open it. There was a little hope and anxiety hidden in his eyes. After a long pause, he opened it with the thought that it is better to be tortured later than to be tortured earlier. The box in the hand.
But as soon as saw, there was still nothing in the box.
"..."
Lu Huan's eyelashes trembled, and for a moment his hands and feet were cold. He turned the box upside down again, and looked at the table again. After staying for a while, he walked out of the house quickly.
However, the yard was empty, and there was dead silence under the heavy snow.
The snowy ground was white, and there was nothing more in the yard as before, and there was no trace of anyone coming—the person didn’t come to the appointment yesterday, did he leave no message last night?
This was the first time the two broke contact.
Lu Huan stood there for a long while, not even aware of the thin clothes on his shoulders soaked with snow.
There was a sudden surge of tension in his heart.
These days, that person would take his note every night and communicate with him. Even if he didn't leave a few words, he would still leave some traces to show that he had come. Never stop, but last night unexpectedly—
Is it possible that because he didn't leave a note, that person was also angry?
No, no, that person is not like an angry person, that person did a lot for himself, and even took revenge on Mrs. Ning Wang. From these things, he tried his best to guess that person’s character, but he never caught that person’s anger. mood. So, maybe it was just something happened last night and it didn't come?
Lu Huan's heart seemed to be tied to a big rock and fell straight down. Now he ignored any awkward emotions, walked back into the house quickly, spread out the paper, and quickly wrote a note.
...
On the third day, he almost stayed up all night, until dawn, he quickly jumped out of bed, waiting for the person to respond.
but--
Still not.
Like the second day, nothing was left, and there was no trace of anyone coming.
...
The fourth day.
The fifth day.
...
Eight days have passed.
Lu Huan wrote a lot of notes. Some of them were crushed into a ball and burned in the candlelight, some were put in a small box waiting for the person to respond. However, after eight days passed, he put it in the small box. Whatever goes in, there is something. No one has moved except him.
That person seems to have completely disappeared in his world...
Lu Huan had long thought that one day that person might suddenly disappear without leaving any trace, so that he would not be able to find it no matter what methods he used. Therefore, he was eager to find out the identity of the person through the communication. But he never expected that this day would come so early. Before he knew who that person was, the person had quietly disappeared.
Lu Huan went out for the first two days, but on the eighth day, he was already withered in the courtyard. He stayed up all night, sitting on the threshold of the house with some red blood in his eyes. don’t know why, the man suddenly disappeared. Up.
——The thing he worried most happened.
The man disappeared.
"Are you satisfied?" Lu Huan muttered to himself.
It must be that he rashly offered to meet, and made the person tired of being by his side, and then left abruptly. There was no news. Or, the person shifted the target, no longer appeared beside him, and went to treat the second prince and other people. When he came back from Qiuyan Mountain that night, he didn't leave any notes because of his temper, so that he took the initiative to cut off the connection between the two.
If that person never shows up again—what should he do?
Lu Huan sat there all day, from morning dew to dark. He looked outside the courtyard with no expression on his face, not fixedly looking at a certain place, but as if he was just emptying out, waiting for someone to come. It was completely dark, he got up and lit the rabbit lamp, then turned back and sat down.
He recalled the first time that person appeared, it should have been-the chai gate behind him was suddenly repaired? Or earlier?
Later, the number of people sent all kinds of things. For a while, it was carefully crafted boots, another was charcoal fire, and another was food. He was shocked, suspecting that someone in King Ning's Mansion had set him a trap, but that one At night, he was seriously ill and could not afford to have a high fever, and in a daze, he was rescued by the man again. He was shocked and suspicious, and his heart rippled. Later, that person gave him a bowl of birthday noodles, which is the best food Lu Huan has eaten from birth to now. Later, he began to communicate with that person with a note, and that person actually started to respond to him. He was also the first time he had someone to talk to--
...But now, that person will never come again.
Lu Huan's eyes were lifeless, and the light under the eaves could not fall into his eyes. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground blankly.
Did he take the wrong step?
...
It was two and a half days after Suxi finished the exam. After finishing the final examination at noon, she filled out the answer sheet and quickly turned in the paper. Having not been online for two full days, Su Xi was very worried. Although she knew that nothing big would happen in the game, she still couldn't help but want to go back to see the cubs. Fortunately, this afternoon after the exam, she can go home early.
Previously, I only regarded games as games, but as she felt more and more that the game villains in it had autonomous emotions, she became more and more aware that during the two days she was absent, Cubs would have sad thoughts...
Of course, it's also possible that Suxi has been thinking too much.
In short, she didn't care about being told by Gu Qin and the others to go shopping in the afternoon. Without eating in the cafeteria, she got on the bus and went home quickly.
The mobile phone was in my parents' room, and Suxi was like a thief. He opened the door of his parents' room and took his mobile phone.
Go back to the room and charge up——
Then, turn on the screen.
Suxi's heart was beating, and she smiled at the thought of seeing the cubs soon. However, when she went online and switched the interface to the house, her smile stopped abruptly.
Wait, why are all the crumpled papers on the floor in the house——?
These notes should have been written by Zai Zai during this period, but without her response, did they write so many? Isn't he waiting for himself?
Suxi never expected that one day she would not go online, and the protagonist would have been waiting for her. She suddenly felt sore, unable to read these notes, and switched the interface directly to the yard to find the cubs.
As soon as the interface arrived in the courtyard, she saw that the cub was sitting in front of the door threshold of the house, raising his head slightly, watching the shaking rabbit lamp under the eaves.
It was already dark in the game at this time, and the candlelight fell on his face, clearly extinguished, and people couldn't see his expression. He didn't seem to have any expression, but there was a shadow and gloom on Baozi's face, and his eyes were a little red.
What's wrong?
Suxi, who didn’t know what Zub’s brain had added, was about to zoom in on the screen, and saw it, a large white bubble popped up on Zub’s head——
It's almost like it hasn't popped up in this period of time, and now it's accumulated together and popped up all at once, and the screen is almost flooded.
——"Are you just taking advantage of me?"
The first thing that popped out was this. Suxi's eyelids jumped, subconsciously wanting to deny it, and Zai Zai was thinking about something again, but then immediately jumped out more.
The barrage is swiped.
——"Will you not come again?"
——"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that I wanted to meet that day. You must be troubled."
——"If you don’t want it, it’s okay to show up once a month, but can you..."
——"...Whether you use me or out of pity, I...I don't care."
— "I admit it."
——"Sorry, I didn’t intentionally leave a note that night, I just... I was just jealous... I’m sorry, I shouldn’t... I shouldn’t be too greedy... no matter who you are, no matter why you appear and why Disappear... you... come out and talk to me, OK?"
--"I am so lonely."
Then, those bubbles one after another slowly disappeared, leaving only the last four words, which slowly dissipated like water vapor on the screen, but they choked Suxi's breathing.
The little man in front of the door threshold of the house was sitting there alone, only the shadow on the ground illuminated by the yellow candle accompany him, also a small ball, falling at his feet.
He didn't say anything, these white bubbles were just the words in his heart.
He looked up at the rabbit lamp expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking, but he said in his heart--
He is lonely.
Suxi looked at Cub Cub, forgetting to breathe, and then his eyes gradually became sour.
She had never thought about what she was doing when she was not online. She thought that she might be busy farming, or she might be busy planning other things. But she hadn't thought about this issue alone—would Zai Zai think she didn't want him because she was not online? When he was not online, would Zizai think about himself, would he be lonely.
But now she knew that when she was away, the villain was sad.
Suxi looked at Zai Zai, her heart suddenly tightened. This was her first time. It was because of a villain in the game that she had such a strong feeling of missing. She wanted to tell Zai Zai that she was back, but she didn't know what to do.
So, she opened the mall, selected left and right, her finger inadvertently shook on a bunch of fireworks.
Then, in the next second, a firework burst on the screen. Suxi was taken aback.
And Lu Huan in front of the house looked at the endless night sky, and suddenly saw an explosion not far away, and a string of fireworks rose suddenly from the sky, shining brightly, and fell into his courtyard like a galaxy for a moment.
...... Such scenes are not like ordinary people can do. Today is not a festival, and there are no such fireworks in the market.
He was taken aback for a moment, and then his heart jumped out of his throat.
He stood up suddenly, walked a few steps towards the courtyard, raised his head and looked at the night sky hard, with uncertain ecstasy on his face-is the man back?
...
Suxi saw the change of expression on his face, and his nose became more sore.
She stretched out her fingers sadly, and a gust of wind blew across the Chai Yard, gently lifting Lu Huan's thin robe—baby, here I am.
Always.
