16. Chapter 16 The Road to the Underworld 4(1/2)
My mother saw him closing the door tightly and hugging the woman huddled in the corner tightly.
Outside the house were the angry shouts of the villagers: "Burn this woman who brought disaster", "Kill her", "Kill this monster"...
My mother sees all this, and it hurts her heart, but there is nothing she can do! She cannot fail just to show off her bravery for a moment, and besides, she is not sure whether that woman is you...
Yue'er? Can you forgive mother?" When Yan'er said this, she burst into tears and shook her shoulders with excitement.
Mo Xiaoyue had never felt such deep maternal love like this. For a moment, she felt extremely sad and emotional. Despite the coldness, she wanted to go up and hug her. Who knew that her hands did not hug her, but instead put her arms around her?
Through her body!
Xiaoyue stared, "Mom? How could this be?"
Yan'er stopped crying and forced a smile, "Yue'er! The time agreed between mother and Buddha is coming soon, so...
It’s better to hurry up and listen to what I have to say!”
Xiaoyue nodded in agreement, and Yan'er continued: "At that time, time seemed to have suddenly stopped. My mother saw Ping Wangji and the woman looking at each other, but neither one wanted to speak.
Suddenly he picked up the woman and pushed open the closed wooden door!!
The crowd outside the house was shocked by the sudden scene and suddenly fell silent.
Just listen to him yelling at the sky with grief and anger, "As long as I am around, you will never touch my woman. Oh my god! Why don't you open your eyes!"
The villagers looked at each other and all looked at the patriarch.
The patriarch stared at the red eyes, pointed at Ping Wangji's reincarnation with a slight trembling, and said, "This is an ominous woman, she will bring disaster to our entire village. She has been cursed."
But as if he didn't hear her, he hugged the woman tightly in his arms and said softly, "Xiaoyue'er, don't be afraid, I will take you out of here."
At that time, my mother saw that the woman's eyes were moist, and heard her say to him, "This is what I have been waiting for all these years! I came here despite all the hardships... just to fulfill my long-cherished wish in this life, my hope.
Get a moment of real togetherness!!”
The next moment he held the woman in his arms and ran towards the temple.
The hoarse voice of the clan leader sounded from behind, "You are going to be cursed, you are destined to be punished."
He hugged the woman in his arms tighter, ignored his words and strode away.
My mother followed from a distance and saw him taking the woman to the place where they first met - the ruined temple.
I heard him say to the woman with infinite tenderness, "Xiaoyue'er, don't worry, no one will dare to hurt you as long as I am here in this life!"
The woman nodded lightly in relief and leaned against him tiredly.
He stroked the woman's messy long hair and said comfortingly, "Xiao Yue'er, I'm going to get you some food. You stay here and don't go out. They don't dare to come in."
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately opened her eyes in fear, grabbed his hand and cried until she choked, "Don't leave me at this time... I'm not hungry..."
He held the woman's face, gently wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Be good! Don't cry, you're not hungry, and our child is delicious too... I'll be back soon."
When he reached the temple gate, the woman suddenly stopped him.
He took off the blood stone tied with a red string from his neck and looked at it carefully. After looking at it, he whispered to him, "Mr. sir, you must wear it, no matter what happens..."
After the woman helped him tie it up again, he patted your head comfortingly, "Stop thinking about it, I'll be back soon."
When he turned around, he suddenly saw the stone tablet erected in front of the temple door. He remembered that she had said that perhaps the words "never ascend" were engraved on it...
He left, and my mother saw the woman standing quietly in the hall.
The rustling sound of the wind mixed with sand and dust swirled in the air. The ever-burning lamp swaying in the wind made a "squeaking" sound that resounded throughout the hall. The marble-carved wall hall has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain, and the walls are mottled.
Suddenly, from far to near, there were sounds of chaotic footsteps, the snapping of branches, and the noise of the crowd outside the temple... "Hurry up, hurry up", "Pile some here"... After a short time, the smoke came out.
poured in.
The arrogant flames flashed with purple light, revealing their mysterious and ferocious faces as they swallowed up the weeds on the ground and walls!
The majestic and tall temple burned in the fire!
The woman seemed to know that she would never be able to escape this fate, and her mother saw a mysterious smile on her face.
My mother couldn't guess or figure it out. She could only watch the woman standing in the hot hall like a phantom in the dark.
The flames jumped and rolled around her crazily, greedily engulfing her body, burning her long hair, and letting out a "hissing" triumphant laugh...
She smiled faintly and said softly, "The disaster has come, and it's time for me to retire after my success."
After my mother vaguely heard what she said, the temple completely collapsed. The reincarnation of Ping Wangji, who happened to arrive, saw this scene and the wild fruit he had found for the woman fell to the ground, and he himself
I also cried out to the sky with great sadness...
After saying this, Yan'er couldn't talk any more and cried like a tearful person.
"Yue'er, mother really feels pity for him, so she desperately tried her best to lure you here..."
"Mom, stop talking. I understand. Tell me, where is he now? I'll go see him."
After Mo Xiaoyue listened to all the stories, she roughly understood one thing in her heart, that is, Yan Jun helped her behind the scenes. As for why she sent someone to replace her and spend this life with Ping Wangji, although she couldn't figure it out.
But there is always one thing she knows, that is, Yan Jun must not have any malicious intentions.
"Hey, Mom sees that he is exhausted. Come on, follow Mom, and Mom will take you to see him one last time..."
Mo Xiaoyue nodded and followed Yan'er out of the ruined temple.
The slanderous people arrived in front of a broken wooden house. Yan'er pointed at the wooden house and said, "Yue'er, he is inside. Go and see him. Mom is guarding outside..."
Xiaoyue raised her hand and pushed open the door. A musty smell came to her face, which made her frown slightly. When she was about to lift her sleeves to cover her nose, she saw the thin man curled up on the wooden bed.
Her heart suddenly jumped into her throat, and her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
He is indeed her Princess Ping, and his appearance has not changed at all, except for being unshaven and a bit slovenly.
"Your Highness..."
As soon as Xiaoyue's clear voice sounded, the man on the bed immediately trembled, and then raised his head. When he saw Xiaoyue standing at the door, his pair of dark eyes immediately became bright, like gems.
"Xiaoyue'er, are you here to take me to hell?" My mother saw him closing the door tightly and hugging the woman huddled in the corner tightly.
Outside the house were the angry shouts of the villagers: "Burn this woman who brought disaster", "Kill her", "Kill this monster"...
My mother sees all this, and it hurts her heart, but there is nothing she can do! She cannot fail just to show off her bravery for a moment, and besides, she is not sure whether that woman is you...
