Chapter 31 Jumping into the Lake
Qiu Heng ran to the corner door in one breath and told the doorman that he wanted to go shopping, and the doorman opened the door.
I heard that the old lady gave the sixth girl ten sets of jewelry and eight pieces of clothing. I heard that the old man praised the sixth girl for being so well-behaved.
The two highest-ranking masters in the house are like this. Of course, he, a small disciple, will not be ignorant.
But what are you going to buy, Miss Six, in such a hurry?
Qiu Heng, who was guessed by his disciples, went straight to Qinglian Lake.
It is the lake closest to Yongqingbo Mansion. Lotus flowers bloom in summer, and sweet lotus seeds can be harvested in autumn.
Qiu Heng didn't know if it would work, but he could only try.
In that summer thirty years later, she was in a place she shouldn't have been, injured and bleeding, and the passage of time would ultimately leave no trace on her body.
In the same way, she firmly believed in her husband's words that she would eventually go back.
But staying in a place that doesn't belong to her is not without cost. Every fifteenth day, when the moon is full, the burning pain will sweep through the whole body, and it can be relieved by soaking in Magpie Lake.
At that time, she always thought that he was rejecting her as a stranger.
Fortunately, after ten years of waiting, I finally came back.
Nothing happened on March 15th and April 15th, but on May 15th, the familiar pain returned.
Regardless of why, Qiu Heng rushed to Qinglian Lake.
The young man in scarlet clothes on the street looked at the figure flashing past the exit at the end of the alley, ordered his men to continue patrolling, and followed him alone.
Across the alley was another street. Looking left and right, I saw a girl running quickly.
Her eagerness can be seen from her back.
Did something happen?
Xue Han followed quickly with doubts.
Qiu Heng only has Qinglian Lake in his eyes.
If she hadn't known deeply that with her identity as a Qiuliu girl, she could make incense, play Cuju, and read, but could not reveal her martial arts skills, she would have run away long ago.
We arrived at Qinglian Lake, and luckily there was no one there at this time.
Qiu Heng rushed into the lake with her skirt up.
Xue Han followed from a distance. Seeing this scene, his expression suddenly changed and he rushed over.
The cold lake water submerged his body, and Qiu Heng breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, it didn't have to be a lake in that time and space.
Only then did she have the energy to think about why she had been fine for the past two months but had an attack this month.
She considered that to be the rejection, or punishment, of being a stranger.
Is this month any different from the previous two months?
Qiu Heng had a flash of inspiration: Could it be because——
Before she could think clearly, a strong force came from behind and she was dragged towards the shore.
"Let go!" Seeing clearly that it was Xue Han, Qiu Heng restrained her strength and pushed him.
Qiu Heng did not dare to expose the fact that he was practicing martial arts because he immediately came to check if the lost girl was found in the uncle's house.
Xue Han was not sure at first, but after Qiu Heng pushed and struggled, he immediately confirmed: Miss Qiu Liu is going to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake!
The boy held the resisting girl tightly with one hand, paddled the water with one hand, and managed to get her to the shore.
Qiu Heng put one hand on the ground, feeling hurt and angry: If she could expose her martial arts skills...
Xue Han was panting, tired and thankful: Fortunately, he met him!
Both of them were soaked to the skin and quite embarrassed.
"Why can't Miss Qiuliu think about it?"
Qiu Heng gritted his teeth: "I didn't."
Xue Han frowned: "If you are wronged, I will tell Grandpa Ling, don't do stupid things."
"I didn't." Qiu Heng knew that the other party had good intentions and should not be blamed, but the burning pain that resurfaced made her unable to calm down.
Xue Han looked at the cold-faced girl and felt a little angry.
He was not angry with her for her bad attitude, but angry with her for not cherishing her own life.
"If not, why did you jump into the lake?"
Facing the young man's questioning, Qiu Heng was speechless.
To enjoy the coolness? This obviously can't be fooled.
"I...I feel uncomfortable." Facing Xue Han's puzzled eyes, Qiu Heng silently forced out a mouthful of blood.
Xue Han was dumbfounded. He wanted to touch her but it was not appropriate. He was at a loss for a moment. "What's wrong with you? Where are you injured?"
"It's not an injury." Qiu Heng's forehead showed beads of sweat, "I...I'm suffering from a strange disease. You can send me to the lake first."
Xue Han was not procrastinating. Seeing her say this, he picked up the person and jumped into the lake.
The water in the lake rippled, frightening away the wild ducks.
Qiu Heng immediately felt comfortable and relaxed.
Seeing this, Xue Han fell silent.
It seems to be true.
Qiu Heng had the strength to talk nonsense, and his brain recovered: "I have been struck by lightning."
Xue Han:?
Qiu Heng ignored the impact of these words on the other party and continued: "He is not dead, but he is suffering from a strange disease. Usually there is no abnormality. Occasionally, there is a burning sensation from lightning strikes, which needs to be relieved by immersing in the lake water."
Xue Han continued to be silent.
What should I do if there is such a misunderstanding?
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"No one in the uncle's house knows about this hidden disease. Will Mr. Xue keep it a secret for me?"
The young man nodded heavily.
Of course he will keep it a secret, but the question is, does he know a little too much?
"Then Mr. Xue, go and do your own business." Qiu Heng reluctantly raised the corners of his lips, "After all, it's not good for people to see us soaking in the lake together."
I don’t know, I thought they died for their love!
Xue Han hurriedly let go of his hand and used seriousness to cover up his embarrassment: "How long do I need to stay in the lake?"
"An hour."
"Okay."
Feeling uneasy after thinking about it, the young man who was about to swim to the shore turned around and said, "Miss Qiuliu, you must wait for me."
After thinking about it again, he swam to the place where the greenery continued, broke off a lotus leaf, returned to Qiu Heng, and put the lotus leaf on her head.
"Cover up, lest others see you and jump down."
Qiu Heng held up the lotus leaf and watched the young man land on the shore, and soon disappeared from sight. He thought to himself: Others might not jump down if they see him, they will be frightened.
So lotus leaves are indeed needed.
She was finally able to think about it without being disturbed, and came up with a guess: Han Wu died in history when he fled south, not now.
Is it because she changed the fate of key people that she was ostracized from the world where she was supposed to be?
Qiu Heng thought of what he said when she asked how she would get to know her husband after she came back.
There is no need to force it, you will meet it if you are destined. It would be bad for her to reveal too much. After returning home, be careful not to mention the future to others, so as not to be rejected by the world.
It turns out that she really can no longer be an ordinary country girl Aheng.
No matter in Daxia thirty years later or in Daxia now, she has become a stranger.
A tear falls into the lake, causing small ripples.
The girl who heard the footsteps looked towards the shore and saw Xue Han walking towards him carrying a bundle.
He cast his gaze towards the lake, found Qiu Heng at a glance, waved his hand and sat down casually.
Qiu Heng swam to the shore.
"Are you ready?" Xue Han asked.
"Okay."
Xue Han pointed to the baggage beside him: "There are clothes and kerchiefs inside. Miss Qiu Liu, please change your clothes before going back."
Qiu Heng looked at the baggage and was startled, and thanked him softly: "Thank you, Mr. Xue."
Xue Han stood up: "I'll go over there and watch for you."
The reeds swayed gently in the wind, and soon a girl wearing new clothes came out.
"Thank you, Mr. Xue, for preparing the clothes. I——"
"Red bean cake." The young man interrupted Qiu Heng's thanks, "Miss Qiu Liu wants to thank me, just give me some red bean cake."
Qiu Heng was surprised: "Master Xue likes to eat red bean cake?"
Xue Han nodded: "Yes, I like to eat very much."
