Chapter 480 Three Women One Drama
When Jiang Shouzhong and the other two stepped into the cave, a warm spiritual energy penetrated into their lungs.
Walking along the winding corridor, the three of them came to a delicately built marble arch.
There is another world deep in the cave.
Several naturally formed stone tables and benches are distributed in a scattered manner.
Deeper, a bamboo house wrapped in green vines came into view, and the house was shining with light flashing fireflies. It was obvious that Qu Hongling lived here.
"You go in, I won't follow you."
Ran Qingchen hesitated for a moment, stopped and said softly.
"Why?"
Jiang Shouzhong looked at her in confusion.
Ran Qingchen looked at the swaying silhouette on the window paper of the bamboo house and said softly: "She may not want to see me at this time, but you are the only one who can talk to you."
Jiang Shouzhong understood the woman's concerns, patted her on the shoulder gently, and then turned around and walked towards the cottage.
"Haha, it's very good at being a good wife."
Jiang Que gently stomped a stone and suddenly approached Ran Qingchen's ears, and his words were ridiculed with a little sarcasm, "Sister Ran really doesn't taste it?"
"We should always learn to give in appropriately."
Ran Qingchen's fingertips brushed the green vines hanging down on the rock wall, and his tone was quiet, "Besides, in terms of the order of front and back, Hong Ling is the husband's first wife."
Jiang Que's fingertips were circling the ends of her hair, and her almond eyes stared at the other party's lonely side face. She took back the words she wanted to make jokes. She sighed softly: "The more people think, the more sensitive they are. When they are heavy, they want to hold them all, but they always lose them."
Ran Qingchen touched the girl's head and joked, "At a young age, I can see it better than anyone else."
Jiang Que slapped the other person's arm dissatisfiedly: "I'm bigger than you sooner or later."
Ran Qingchen was stunned and didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words for a moment.
After reacting, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and then held the girl's shoulders and smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth. The beads hanging from the jade hairpin shook violently with her head tilted.
"What? I think what I said is ridiculous?"
Jiang Que's face looked ugly.
However, seeing the luxurious configuration under the other party's clothes, his tone became weaker and muttered, "Even if you can't be bigger than you, it won't be much smaller. Just wait and see."
Seeing that the other party was still holding back his smile, Jiang Que suddenly hugged Ran Qingchen's body and stuffed her little head into her chest.
The girl sniffed her deep breath, and the cold plum fragrance soaked in her collar made her obsessed.
"I'll measure it first."
Jiang Que boldly stretched out her hand.
Ran Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and a ray of rosy glow appeared in the tip of his ears. He patted the girl's hands and said angrily: "Don't mess around!"
She sorted out her clothes that were not messy, turned her head and looked at the bamboo house, and said softly, "I am young, so I naturally think simple. When you grow up, you will understand."
Jiang Que raised her little head, and her eyes as clean as glass reflected the candlelight in the distance, and she said lightly:
"I only know that as long as I get some things, I should learn to be satisfied. Anyway, I am very happy, and what makes me happier is that Jiang Mo is also very happy."
Listening to the girl's words, Ran Qingchen was a little lost.
After a long time, she pursed her lips and smiled, her fingertips hooked a strand of hair between her temples and said, "Fortunately, you are not old, otherwise... you would be a very difficult opponent."
...
Jiang Shouzhong knocked on the door lightly, but there was no response inside the room, so he simply pushed the door and entered directly.
The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, with only one bed and one table.
The unburned incense on the bamboo table winds out a few wisps of smoke, lingering with the spirit cards enshrined on the table.
That is Grandma Qiu’s spiritual card.
At this moment, the girl was sitting quietly on the bamboo chair next to the spirit card, holding her knees with her hands. The crimson skirt is like a withered Manzhushahua, spreading out a dark red color.
Hearing the footsteps, the girl's ears trembled slightly, but she did not look up.
The sound of "sand" sounded softly, and the bamboo chair tilted slightly.
Jiang Shouzhong sat down next to her.
"I look a lot thinner, but I definitely haven't had a good meal."
The man reached out to cover the girl's cold back, held it gently in his hand, and said with a heartache.
Qu Hongling's hands were very cold, as cold as fresh snow.
Jiang Shouzhong put his breath in his palm.
He was stunned to remember that when he was in Anhe Village, the girl would occasionally sit alone on the roof and stare blankly.
Sometimes, the girl's hands will be very cold, and he will do this, holding the other person's hands to breathe, or warming it in his clothes. And the girl will deliberately make bad things.
During that time, I always feel happy whenever I think about it.
Qu Hongling still didn't say anything, but just looked at the swaying candlelight in a daze, and her thin shoulder blades supported a lonely curve under her plain red skirt.
"I really don't plan to pay attention to me?"
Jiang Shouzhong unconsciously stroked the back of her hand.
"I should have seen my grandma for the last time..."
After a long time, Qu Hongling finally spoke, her voice was low and hoarse and broken.
She paused, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes: "She is my only relative, but I was unable to be with her."
Jiang Shouzhong comforted softly: "Grandma Qiu won't blame you. You still have me, Sister Ye..."
Qu Hongling shook her head, tears flashing in her eyes:
"You don't understand... Grandma has always been worried about me, but I... I have always hated her. Just because when I left you after listening to her words, I have always hated Grandma."
The bamboo shadow outside the window cut across the girl's side face, and the dimples of the past were condensed on their pale cheeks, stained with some tears.
Jiang Shouzhong was silent and hugged the girl in his arms.
Qu Hongling choked and said, "I was picked up by my grandma. Over the years, she has been raising me and growing up. I have long regarded her as my dearest relative. I... I have always listened to her..."
Jiang Shouzhong looked at it with a distress, raised his hand, gently wiped away the girl's tears, and said softly: "Grandma Qiu definitely doesn't want to see you so sad."
The girl lowered her head, her voice almost faintly:
"At that time, she said, "I will only harm you if I stay by your side. I don't believe it, but now... I have to believe it."
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned and asked in confusion: "What does it mean?"
Qu Hongling suddenly raised her little face, her expression was dim but she still couldn't hide her pretty beauty. However, the pain in her heart at this moment made this beauty a little more pitiful.
"Brother Xiao Jiang..."
The girl bit her lip, and after hesitating for a moment, she asked softly: "If everyone in this world would die because of me, would you choose to kill me?"
Jiang Shouzhong didn't expect that she would ask such a question, and subconsciously shook his head: "Of course not."
"Even if... Sister Ran and the others will die because of me, will they not kill me?"
Qu Hongling asked again.
Jiang Shouzhong's body stiffened and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Qu Hongling smiled bitterly, and tears in her eyes became even more intense: "Did you... have known that I am a red demon for a long time?"
Jiang Shouzhong was stunned.
Recalling the scenes about the red demons he had seen, he nodded slightly:
"I have had a guess, but this does not affect my feelings for you. Hong'er, no matter what your identity is, I will be by your side, and I don't care about the red demon." Hong Ling gently pulled back his hand, turned his head, and whispered:
"But I am a red demon. As long as I am in the world, everyone in the world will die. You... aren't you afraid?"
Jiang Shouzhong frowned: "Who told you?"
His eyes flashed over the spirit cards on the table and immediately understood something.
It was obvious that the suicide note left by Grandma Qiu told her the truth, and the girl imprisoned herself and took the initiative to give up her position as the sect leader.
Sure enough, Qu Hongling handed him a letter.
It is Grandma Qiu's suicide note.
The letter stated that she discovered the frozen Qu Hongling in a secret abyss.
Qu Hongling was just a baby at that time.
When Grandma Qiu took her away, she saw a picture that seemed to be from the future in a trance.
In the picture, Qu Hongling stood high above a bridge, and below was a sea of blood. Everyone in the world turned into corpses and soaked in the sea of blood. The whole world was completely silent.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
At that time, Grandma Qiu originally wanted to kill Qu Hongling, but in the end she couldn't bear it and took it back to the Tian Yao Sect to raise it.
Over the years, she has been trying to find Qu Hongling's life experience, but she has not gained much. She is becoming more and more certain about the identity of a girl as a red demon.
Qu Hongling closed her eyes and murmured in a low voice:
"Brother Xiao Jiang, I'm really tired... I don't want to implicate anyone anymore. I can't care about the life and death of others, but I can't ignore you."
Jiang Shouzhong heard the girl's words seem to have a hint of wanting death. He was shocked and said quickly:
"Hong'er, what Grandma Qiu saw was just an illusion. And during this period, you should also know that the immortals in the sky are most afraid of you. You are not sure, this is a trap they set up, wanting to kill people with a knife."
Qu Hongling's eyes were rosy: "Brother Xiao Jiang, others can deceive you, but you can't deceive yourself.
I can feel that I will kill others. If you don’t believe me, go and ask Sister Queer. Every time I went crazy before, I almost killed the people around me. And Sister Miaomiao, I almost killed her. ”
Jiang Shouzhong cursed angrily: "What are you cheating? With me here, no one of you will be fine."
Jiang Shouzhong hugged the girl tightly in his arms, pressed her lower jaw against her, and said softly: "Hong'er, from today on, I will stay by your side. Even if you are really crazy, I won't care."
"But..."
"Hong'er."
Jiang Shouzhong held the girl's sad and delicate little face and said word by word, "Believe me, I will protect you."
Qu Hongling buried her head in the man's arms and nodded softly.
...
When he saw Jiang Shouzhong walking out of the bamboo house with Qu Hongling, Ran Qingchen and Jiang Qu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Hongling, I thought you would take two hours to come out."
Jiang Que handed an ambiguous look and quipped.
Qu Hongling's pretty face turned red, but she glared at Jiang Shouzhong beside her.
This guy did have that idea just now, saying that he could use the method in bed to dilute sadness and other words. Fortunately, she was not deceived, otherwise she would have been laughed at by these two people.
"Sister Ran."
Qu Hongling came to Ran Qingchen and moved her pink lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Ran Qingchen took out a pair of earrings from his arms and smiled, "I had a good friend with someone and said I would be a sister for the rest of my life, but I hope someone won't break his promise."
Qu Hongling looked at the familiar earrings, her eyes flushed.
It was a gift Jiang Shouzhong gave to her when she was in Anhe Village. Later, when she and Ran Qingchen became sworn sisters, they gave it to each other.
She once thought Ran Qingchen had already lost it.
After all, she took Jiang Shouzhong away at the wedding, making the other party a laughing stock for everyone.
"I am the one who should say sorry."
Ran Qingchen stepped forward and gently stroked Qu Hongling's hair, and said softly,
"Sometimes I think about it, as a sister, I am really bad, stupid and stubborn. I don't know how to cherish it. When I want to cherish it, I am pretentious and insist on causing so many storms."
"Sister Ran."
Qu Hongling twitched Qiong's nose and said carefully, "It seems like before... we were enemies."
Ran Qingchen raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, it's the same in the future. Since the fight cannot determine the outcome, I will not lose to you in this regard."
Qu Hongling burst into laughter, and the heavy emotions in her heart dissipated a lot.
Jiang Que blinked her big, lively eyes, smiled and leaned over Qu Hongling, holding her arm: "Sister Hongling, I fully support you as your wife, you will have to cover me in the future. You don't know, Sister Ran is so 'harsh'!"
Qu Hongling gently pointed at the girl Qiongjiu: "What kind of wife and concubine? Brother Xiao Jiang doesn't care so much. Besides, Sister Ran is the real matchmaker's marriage."
"Tsk, why do I sound like I'm mocking me?"
Ran Qingchen smiled but not smiled.
Qu Hongling was about to explain when he saw Jiang Shouzhong having fun on the side, pouting his mouth and saying, "After quarrel, Brother Xiao Jiang actually likes Sister Ye the most."
Jiang Shouzhong didn't expect that the fire suddenly burned on him, and he coughed dryly because of choking. He hurriedly opened a distance, with a pleasing and guilty smile on his face, and said, "That... Actually, I already have a candidate in my heart for the true wife."
As soon as these words were spoken, the three women immediately stared at him in unison.
Jiang Shouzhong scratched his head and said in a pretentious manner: "I plan to buy a super big bed, and it will be a wife in the future. I will treat you equally when you lie on it..."
"Get out!"
"Shut up!"
"Shameless!"
Before the man could finish his words, the three women slashed with their swords, which scared Jiang Shouzhong so much that he ran away.
Just as the group walked out of the cave with a laugh and ramble, Shen Shengyuan suddenly rushed from the hall with a hurried look.
After seeing Qu Hongling who finally walked out of the cave for so many days, Shen Shengyuan looked happy on his face, thinking that it was Jiang Xiaozi after all, and then said seriously to Jiang Shouzhong:
"My friend Jiang, the third prince has also sent someone to the Tian Yao Sect."
The third prince?
Hearing this name, Jiang Shouzhong's face suddenly turned gloomy.
At present, all the enemies of the royal family in the continent are dead, but this most disgusting third prince is still jumping around.
Jiang Shouzhong originally wanted to deal with the matter of the outside Qu Hongling to find the other party, but he never thought that the other party would come to the door first.
"What did he send someone to Tian Yao Sect for?"
Jiang Shouzhong asked.
Shen Shengyuan explained: "Just like the people from Yan Rong came here, I wanted to borrow the Dragon Pan of the Tian Yao Sect. The address of the Dragon Clan has been found, but it takes a few things to successfully enter. The Dragon Pan of our Tian Yao Sect is one of them."
Speaking of this, Shen Shengyuan paused and continued, "The Great Protector seems to be interested in cooperating with the Third Prince."
"No, the dragon clan belongs to Brother Xiao Jiang."
Qu Hongling said coldly, "The Heavenly Demon Sect will never cooperate with the third prince!"
"But after all, the current sect leader is..."
"The Heavenly Demon Order is still in my hands."
Qu Hongling's eyes were cold, "I don't want to give this position of sect leader, so it's mine!"
