Chapter 006: Drunken Dreams and Death (Six)
Once, Eleven had everything. But what Yan Ci gave was all that she could offer; that sentiment was far more precious than the dead mouse that the tabby cat offered to Han Tianyao.
Not a single star is visible, and the originally dim moonlight seems to have been washed into a hazy pale red by the glow of blood, indistinct and blurred, like the tearful eyes of a loved one who has departed from home
In recent years, although the northern regions have been unstable, this area is quite distant from places like Suizhou and Guangzhou, making it unlikely for any military conflict to arise; given the status of the Han family, ordinary bandits would not dare to come and lightly provoke them.
Although Han Tianyao possesses talent and reputation, the Huacong Bieyuan is merely a place for his romantic escapades, primarily inhabited by his beautiful concubines, lacking any formidable defenses. This outcome...
On the eleventh, she took a large pouch, retrieved the mirror box from the dressing table, and without checking how many hairpins, hair ornaments, or jewels were inside, she casually poured them into the pouch. Then, she rummaged through the wardrobe and took out two ingots of gold and a bundle of silver, weighed them in her hand, and also tossed them in without hesitation
Yan Ci was inherently a solitary person, and the Qiu Yan Pavilion where she resided was situated in a secluded corner. After her death, the Qiu Yan Pavilion was left with only the idle Eleven, a mere bag of wine and a sack of rice, remaining uncleaned throughout the day, further contributing to its desolation. Those bandits only pursued towards the open courtyard, leaving this side relatively tranquil for the time being
The swan's song has perished, yet it remains deeply concerned for her until the end, not only entrusting her solemnly to Han Tianyao but also leaving all of its possessions to her.
Xiao Long'er had just arrived at the other courtyard for a few days when she suddenly encountered a shocking change. She threw on a cloak and rushed out, not knowing which way to go, only focused on fleeing to a secluded place. However, she was targeted by someone. Seeing that the door of Qiuyan Pavilion was half ajar, she hurriedly dashed inside without considering her path.
After a pause, he touched its head and sighed softly: "Huahua, the wild goose poem is already dead, dead..."
She lifted the bag and was about to take a step when suddenly a girl's startled exclamation came from outside the door, startling the tabby cat, which leaped up and jumped to the other side.
With a gentle touch, she reached out to the garments that had once been worn during the year of the wild geese, then hurriedly made her way to the wooden staircase. Grasping the railing, she slid down lightly, landing silently on the ground below. Only after her descent did the tabby cat, dragging its plump body, leap to her feet.
However, if a formidable adversary were to arrive, this exquisite villa built on the mountainside would not be able to alert the people below, even if over a hundred lives were taken.
The tabby cat jumped into the trunk, sniffing the scent of the clothes, and let out a "meow" that sounded somewhat sorrowful
The tabby cat meowed in confusion and looked up at the sky
She looked up at the sky
Eleven picked up Huahua and sighed, "Let us tidy up and be on our way!"
The tabby cat startled and ran back, and only then did it hear the shouts of killing from outside, momentarily unable to believe its own ears
Standing on the ridge of the Qiu Yan Pavilion, I gazed at the buildings igniting one after another, listening to the rising and falling cries of despair and the sounds of battle. Taking a sip of wine, I patted the tense back of the tabby cat and said with a bitter smile: "Hua Hua, this place is no longer livable! Where shall we go from here?"
When Eleven reached the door and peered outside, it was the little Long'er he had seen during the day on the short slope
The girl's exclamation quickly turned into a terrified plea for help and a scream.
