Chapter 3: His Bride
She looked at him stupidly for a moment, as if confirming something. After a while, she revealed a row of neat white teeth.
"Brother's eyes are bright and beautiful."
His eyes were as dark and bright as obsidian, and Sanniang liked them very much.
Wei Ci was surprised for a moment, staring blankly at the girl with clear eyes in front of him, not daring to move for fear of scaring her. Unexpectedly, the girl raised her eyes and gave her a toothy smile, and there was something crackling in her heart.
It made a loud noise, exploding into colorful colors like fireworks in the middle of the night. For the first time in my life, I felt my heart beat.
As a general, he had always scorned things like falling in love at first sight. However, at this moment, he felt that what those rotten scholars said actually made some sense.
The bright moon in the sky was not as bright as the girl's smile. He remembered that before he fell into coma, he vaguely heard his mother saying that she planned to get him married. He wanted to object, but he was unable to do anything after being comatose all day.
He knew that he had been poisoned by the Qiang people and was about to die soon. Wouldn't marrying a wife harm other girls?
However, no matter how much I object, I'm afraid it's a foregone conclusion.
Seeing the little girl in front of him dressed in red wedding clothes and in his room, he thought that his mother had already decided to marry him back. Thinking that he was not going to die soon, Wei Ci felt even more guilty towards her.
His life is short, so he will delay her after all.
"Girl, Wei is about to die soon. After I die, you can..." Find a lover again. Before he could finish his words, the girl directly put her finger into his mouth.
The first time he touched the girl's delicate hands, they were soft and cool. Wei Ci trembled all over and froze.
"If Sanniang lives, you will live too."
Sanniang doesn't like the word "death". Although she doesn't understand what "death" means, she feels that it is a bad thing and she doesn't want him to die. Last night, he didn't kill her after she fell asleep like the nuns and others did.
He dragged her out of bed and gave her a quilt cover by default, without disturbing her to sleep. Sanniang felt that he was kind to Sanniang.
Sanniang didn't know why she wanted him to drink her own blood. Last night, when she heard him gradually losing his breath, she seemed to instinctively know that her blood could save him, even though it hurt a little when he bit her finger.
When Wei Ci felt the blood with a faint floral fragrance flowing into his throat, his back stiffened and he was shocked.
He inhaled this smell last night, which relieved a lot of pain. He thought he had returned to the light!
Suddenly, I found that when I woke up this time, my body did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, the toxins in my body seemed to have miraculously been reduced.
Could it be... He looked at the woman in surprise.
"Your blood..." can detoxify?!
"Drink it, it won't hurt." She smiled in a naive manner, but her stomach grumbled at the wrong time, and then she said stupidly: "Sanniang, I'm hungry."
Wei Ci gently took her finger out of his mouth, looked at the bite wound on it, and frowned. He forced himself to sit up, and his head suddenly felt dizzy. Then he gradually improved, and the internal strength in his body also miraculously improved.
Generally recovering slowly.
Her blood is really effective in detoxifying.
When he heard that the little girl was hungry, he was about to ask someone to come in and help her wash up. He saw the little girl getting out of bed, walking to the table with bare feet, grabbing a few pieces of last night's pastries and putting them in her mouth.
My mouth and cheeks were filled instantly, and I didn't forget to grab two pieces for him.
"For you to eat."
Looking at the two pastries that were already crushed in the little girl's palms, Wei Ci was even more shocked than before.
After years of experience on the battlefield, how could he not see at this moment that his bride was different from ordinary people.
In just a moment, Wei Ci felt mixed emotions in his heart. His eyes gradually became filled with anger, and his face became ugly.
It was not because he found out that he married a girl who was different from ordinary people, but because he was angry that his mother had cruelly sent this inexperienced girl in just to cheer him up. Then he thought about his mother doing it for him, and Wei Ci felt that he was unfilial.
, I just want to punch myself.
"It's delicious, here it is." The silly girl looked at him with innocent watery eyes. Seeing that he still refused to eat, the silly girl was a little anxious, as if she was afraid that he would be hungry, so she took it with her little hand and stuffed it into his mouth, with a persistent and serious face.
.
"Do you know that you have already...married me?"
Sanniang didn't understand. She tilted her head and held up the cake blankly. Her clean and clear eyes looked straight at him with a slight expectation.
"For you to eat."
Seeing her persistence, Wei Ci sighed softly, opened his mouth and swallowed the cake. His eyes turned soft, and he raised his hand to gently stroke her hair.
"That's all, if I can still live, it doesn't matter if I protect you forever and be happy and worry-free."
Idiot or stupid, he doesn't care.
The silly girl seemed to understand a certain word, and her little face instantly blossomed into a smile.
This man is very warm and she likes him very much.
.
Outside the new house, there were many people standing, headed by Mrs. Wei.
Mrs. Wei looked solemn, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, counting them with her thumbs, and waiting quietly for the closed door.
Before the bride arrived yesterday, all the doctors in the town said that her son Xu would not survive the night. She sent Xie Sanniang in by chance, but she knew that it was just her wishful thinking. Her son was not seriously ill.
, is poisoned with a deadly poison, how can it be cured by being happy?
After all, I was delusional.
There seemed to be deathly silence in the room. Mrs. Wei suppressed her grief and shouted with a slightly trembling voice: "Wei Shu, open the door and send your brother off."
The young master's face was serious, his eyes were moist and red, he clenched his hands into fists, stepped forward slightly, and raised his hand to push the closed door.
There was a sound of ‘--clang’.
The door was opened from the inside.
"...brother."
When he saw the person coming out, the young master's eyes widened and he screamed with joy.
The morning sun was shining lightly, shining on the men and women supporting each other in the room. It was as dazzling as light, like the dawn in the sky, bringing hope to the infinite darkness. The dark clouds that shrouded the head of Wei Mansion dispersed in an instant.
.
"Mother." Wei Ci called softly.
The tip of Mrs. Wei's nose was sore, and she leaned forward with trembling hands as if in disbelief. It wasn't until she touched her son's warm face that she burst into tears, hugged her son tightly, and cried with joy.
"Mother thought...you were bad."
She was so scared! She didn't sleep all night, and she didn't know how much white hair had turned white in her hair.
"My mother is worried because A Ci is unfilial." Wei Ci's eyes were slightly red and his throat was choked with sobs.
"Just get over it. Mother doesn't ask for anything. I just ask that you don't let mother with white hair give birth to black hair. If you...if something happens to you, mother is afraid that she won't be able to hold on."
Wei Ci choked with sobs and did not dare to speak again.
As a son, he did not dare to agree to such a simple request from his mother.
Nowadays, foreign enemies are rampant, invading our land and harassing our people. He is a soldier guarding the border, and it is his mission to defend his homeland and fight on the battlefield. From the day he put on that military uniform, he could only disgrace his mother.
. And he was already prepared to die on the battlefield. He only felt sorry for his mother who was worried about him day and night.
"Madam, let me check the eldest son again!" The speaker was a middle-aged man, who just followed the others and waited outside the door.
Carrying a medicine box, he must be a doctor.
"Yes, yes, let the doctor take a look." Mrs. Wei hurriedly let go of her son and gently helped him into the room.
The young master and the doctor followed closely behind.
Sanniang stood at the door with her little head hanging, neither going in nor leaving, just standing there stupidly. The servants waiting outside the door all looked at each other, but the housekeeper Wei asked them to leave and ordered a little maid to guard them.
she.
.
In the room, the doctor felt Wei Ci's pulse, and his turbid eyes that had withstood the baptism of time flashed, and asked in surprise: "What adventure did the young master have last night? The toxins in the young master's body have been greatly reduced, and there is no longer any fear for his life.
The remaining poison can be slowly reduced, and you will be fine if you rest for a while."
Wei Ci's eyes also showed joy.
This doctor was a military doctor with the army. He came from the Imperial Hospital and had superb medical skills. After he was poisoned, he knew that he was not going to die soon, so he wanted to go home and see his mother and younger brother again. When the King of Zhenbei learned about it, he ordered the doctor in the army to
Go along, since he said everything is fine, then he really is fine.
His bride saved his life.
"Mom, the blessing is really effective. Big brother has been washed up." Wei Shu looked happy.
The eldest brother is fine, his big hero is fine, he has to tell his friends.
When Wei Ci and his mother came to their senses when they mentioned the bride, they realized that the silly girl was not there. Looking up, they saw her sitting quietly on the threshold outside, quietly and obediently in a daze.
Wei Ci knew that it was not appropriate for others to know about her blood detoxification, so he acquiesced to his younger brother's words.
"This bride is truly blessed."
Even Dr. Wan on the side somewhat believed this nonsense.
Seeing that her son had been staring at the silly girl, Mrs. Wei thought that he was stupid for not liking the wife she married. She quickly explained: "Aci, it was my mother's decision to marry you a wife. If you don't like it, in the future,
You can marry a girl from another family, but Sanniang is a good person. She has suffered all the way, and the Wei family cannot drive her away. Mother should be raised by her side as a daughter, and you can be her sister. Find her in the future.
He is a kind man, do you think this is the case?"
Being a younger sister? How can that be done?
Wei Ci was really afraid that his mother would do that, so he quickly said: "Mother, my son likes this woman you married very much."
He liked this lady very much. She had the sweetest smile he had ever seen. That smile caught his eyes and fell into his heart.
Mrs. Wei was a little startled, then smiled.
She knew that Dalang was like his father and couldn't do that kind of thing.
That child is blessed.
Wei Ci looked at the girl's back and raised the corners of his mouth.
Since the day he went to the battlefield, he was afraid that one day he would die on the battlefield wrapped in horse leather. He had never thought about marrying a wife and having children, and he had never imagined what the person who would accompany him throughout his life would be like. However, he survived the disaster this morning and woke up.
When I took one look at that girl's clear and innocent smile, I fell in love with her inexplicably.
