It turned out that during these three days, Gong E and Yi Lan had quarreled over and over again. Because of her, Gong E pulled her and asked sternly,"Yi Er Ha, I ask you, are you willing to be a blood guillotine?”
In Yi Erha's memories, they were all very amiable and friendly. Even if they occasionally chatted, it was always Ma who laughed and gave in to Mother. It was only since March last year that they became angry at every turn. Yi Erha felt that this had something to do with her, and later confirmed this point. Slowly, he knew that this was an imperial edict issued by the emperor before she was born. Regardless of gender, they would inherit the position of the commander of the flying guillotine and be the commander of the flying guillotine. First, she was unwilling to be a guillotine. The reason was very simple. She was unwilling to leave Mother. However, this was a fact that could not be changed. It was not something that could be changed by Yi Erha acting coquettishly in Mother's arms. She did not want Ma and Mother to continue quarreling like this, and she did not want them to hurt their relationship because of her. When she heard Gong E's question, she nodded in confusion. Yi Lan immediately pulled Yi Erha over and hugged her. She shouted at Gong E,"Why are you asking her? What does she know?”
Gong E was indeed tired and wanted to end this argument. He said angrily,"She's young, so she doesn't understand. But why don't you understand? We agreed on it back then. Why did Madam change so easily?”As she spoke, she pulled Yi Erha out of the house. When she reached the second door, she heard a desolate and despairing voice from afar."Gong Er, I hate you."
Yi Lan's words, Gong Er heard it, and of course, Yi Er Ha also heard it. Today, she wanted to see her mother, telling her not to hate Ah Ma, and not to be sad.
In a short while, the two of them had already arrived at the entrance of the backyard of the residence. They said coldly,"Go in, I'll wait for you here. Go back quickly, don't let the commander see you.”
"Yes." Yi Erha's face bloomed as he responded and walked inside. When he disappeared, Leng's heart suddenly felt empty. That smile just now was also the smile that Leng would never forget in the future.
Yi Erha ran along the long corridor. Just as he turned a corner, a woman came up to him. Because she was too fast, they almost bumped into each other. The woman immediately said,"I'm sorry."
Yi Erha ignored him and was about to leave when he heard the woman's voice behind him.""You're Yi Erha, right? Don't you remember me?"
Yi Erha turned around and saw that the woman looked very unfamiliar. However, her eyes were very familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. However, at that moment, she was thinking about her mother, so how could she remember? Moreover, she was still young at that time, so she only needed to turn around and walk forward. When the woman saw this, she hurriedly rushed over and said,"Red bean cake, did you eat it that day? I was Mother Jin. You were five years old and wore pink clothes.”
Mother Jin spoke faster and faster, afraid that Yi Erha would fly away and not be able to catch her. Yi Erha could not help but stand still when he heard these words. He was puzzled as to why this woman in front of him was saying all this to her. Looking at her expression, she really seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but where had she seen him before? Yi Erha tried his best to find this memory, but it was a blur.
When Mother Jin saw her stop, she begged,"I have a lot of red bean cakes in my house.”Seeing Yi Erha standing there in a daze, she said in a panic,""Wait for me for a moment. I'll get it for you.”With that, he turned around and left.
Yi Erha came back to his senses and called out to her,""Um, another day. I have to go see my mother quickly.”
When Jin Niang heard these words and saw this scene, her heart broke and tears fell unconsciously.
Yi Erha felt inexplicably uncomfortable seeing her like this. He was about to comfort her when he saw Gong E walking over with an angry face. Behind him was a cold aura. Gong E stepped forward and raised his hand, slapping Yi Erha's small face."Are you going to ignore my words?”He then said to Leng," Bring her back. She doesn't need to eat dinner tonight. Kneel in the loyalty reading hall and tell her the rules of being a stickler to pay respects to the Tang Dynasty."”
Seeing Gong Er slap Yi Erha, Leng felt as if he had been punched in the heart. He hurriedly said,""Commander, it's my fault…"
"I'm just looking at Mother. Can't I do that?”Yi Erha interrupted Leng's words and said indignantly.
Gong E said expressionlessly,"No, it's all because your mother spoiled you. You don't know how high the sky is." Hurry up and get lost."
Yi Erha had never been wronged like this before, and he felt even sadder. Why was Ma 'er becoming more and more unreasonable to her? It was as if he had changed into a different person. He ran out, and Leng followed him out.
When Gong E saw them leave, his heart felt like it was being pricked by needles. He glanced at Jin Niang and said coldly,"If you still want to stay in the residence, don't see her." This wasn't for anyone else, but for them.”
Mother Jin only stared blankly at Yi Erha and Leng as they left the courtyard. When she heard Gong E say this, her heart became even more desolate. She looked up at Gong E, and her eyes were filled with resentment, anger, unwillingness, and helplessness. Under such a miserable gaze, Gong E also felt some pity and slowly said,"Don't worry, I'll protect her well.”
"Is that so?" Mother Jin smiled bitterly. After he finished speaking, he left unsteadily. After he returned, he did not think about eating or drinking. His limbs were lazy and he gradually became yellow and thin.
Speaking of which, Yi Erha had already arrived at the sticky pole. She naturally remembered what Gong E had said. Even if I didn't do it, what could he do to me? Could it be that he would kill me?
Seeing her like this, Leng didn't dare to make her kneel and started to talk about the rules here. Before he could finish his sentence, Yi Erha interrupted him and said with a frown,""You really listen to him. Don't say it either. I won't listen even if you say it.”
Hearing this, Leng Leng suddenly felt that the days ahead between her and the Commander-in-chief wouldn't be so good. She smiled and said,"Alright, I won't say anymore. I'll tell you when you want to hear it in the future.”
Seeing that he had agreed, Yi Erha pouted and said,""I won't listen to it in the future either." After a pause, she said,"You have to listen to me in the future."”
"This…"
Yi Erha saw the awkward look on his face, so he raised his head and said,""Why? You don't want to?"
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Leng could only smile.”
Yi Erha fiddled with the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice,""Me and Ama, who do you listen to?”
Only then did Leng understand that this little girl was throwing a tantrum for him. A sweet smile appeared on her face as she coaxed,"Of course I'll listen to you." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Yi Erha burst out laughing.
Leng heaved a sigh of relief and said gently,"Alright, don't be angry. I'll get you something to eat. What do you want to eat?”
Yi Erha walked to the chair and sat down. He said angrily,""I'm not eating. If he doesn't let me eat, then I'll starve to death.”She said this because she really wasn't hungry now. She suddenly thought of the woman from earlier, Mother Jin, and her heart ached for some reason."Where have we met before? What sad thing did she encounter? The next time she went home and saw Mother, she must ask Mother to help her.”
Yi Erha was sitting there in a daze. Seeing her like this, Leng walked up and waved his hand in front of her. Yi Erha came back to his senses and slapped Leng's hand away. He said angrily,"What are you doing?"
"What were you thinking about just now?" Leng Rao asked curiously.”
Yi Erha stood up and walked out of the room, saying,""Nothing."
"Where are you going?" Leng followed him and asked.”
"It's none of your business," Yi Erha replied.”
Yi Erha walked straight ahead, and Leng followed behind her. Yi Erha suddenly stopped, and Leng stopped as well. She took a few more steps forward, and Leng followed. After a few rounds, Yi Erha was puzzled. He turned around and asked,"Why are you following me?"
Seeing her question like this, Leng did not know how to answer, nor did he know what to say. His forehead was slightly sweaty. Seeing him turn around, Yi Erha lowered his head and smiled sweetly. As he walked, he said,"Where will I stay tonight?"
Leng hurriedly took a few steps forward and held her hand. As they walked, she said,"Follow me."
The two of them went straight out and came to another courtyard. Leng brought her into a house. One look and one could tell that it was meticulously tidied up, but it was indeed a little shabby for Yi Erha. He pursed his lips at once. Leng saw it and naturally could think of the disappointment in her heart. He comforted her,"This place isn't like home, but your room is the best. If you're not satisfied with anything, I'll change it for you, okay?”
Yi Erha didn't say anything. He sat by the bed with his head lowered, fiddling with the corner of his clothes."Of course, this is not as good as home, but this is also carefully prepared by him. If I don't accept his kindness, I won't be letting him down.”After a long time, he slowly said,"There's no need to change it. This place is quite good."
Leng was relieved. She was about to speak when Thirteen's voice was heard." What are you guys doing here?”
Leng and Mu Sen both looked up and saw him walking over. He said,"They asked me to call you guys for dinner.”
Mu Sen looked at Leng for help and said coldly,"Alright, Yi Erha, rest. We're going to eat.”
Musen nodded with a smile, but Thirteen asked doubtfully,""Aren't you going?" Musen shook his head.
Thirteen tilted his head and looked at Musen. Musen looked at Leng helplessly and Leng said unhappily,""Why are you looking at her? Hurry up and leave." He then pulled Thirteen out of the door.
Thirteen left the room and asked quietly,""Leng, is she a mute? Why haven't I heard her speak today?”
" She's just a little girl," Leng said." She's not used to anything since she just came here. Of course, she's a little shy. Also, you can't keep staring at her in the future. She's getting bigger and bigger day by day. Why is she becoming more and more unruly?"”
Thirteen lowered her head and pouted.”He muttered to himself,"Why don't you talk about yourself instead of me?"”
Leng couldn't hear clearly and blurted out,""What did you say?"
Thirteen smiled cheekily and said,""I said I'm hungry, let's go.”As she spoke, she pushed Leng forward.
In the afternoon, Leng went to her room to call Yi Erha. She was extremely unwilling to come out because she had just fallen asleep. She also knew that this place could not compare to home. From now on, her life would be different from before, so she followed Leng to the training ground in a daze. From afar, she saw a youth holding a machete. In a short while, an iron wheel appeared on the machete. It spun rapidly and made a clanging sound. Suddenly, the iron wheel disappeared, as if the machete had eaten it. Everything happened so quickly that Yi Erha couldn't see what was going on even if he opened his eyes wide. When the young man saw Yi Erha, he came over to talk to him. After a morning, everyone knew that she was the daughter of the commander. She wasn't pampered at home and sent here because the divine order was difficult. They couldn't help but feel pity for Yi Erha.
Yi Erha looked at the young man and said,""So this is the flying guillotine?"
When the youth saw that Yi Erha was talking to him, he became nervous and replied,""Yes."
Yi Erha stretched out his hand and said with a smile,""Can I take a look?"
The youth was about to hand over the flying guillotine when he heard someone say,""Su, I usually want to see your flying guillotine, but you won't let me see it. Why do you give it to me just because she says so?”Thirteen said to the young man with a dissatisfied frown.
Suddenly, everyone laughed, making Su feel very bored. Mu Sen quickly retracted his hand and looked at Leng. Leng smiled at her and said,"It's fine. They're just having a laugh.”
Everyone started to talk about Thirteen's faults. What was there to argue with a little girl about? This made Thirteen feel embarrassed again. While everyone was chatting and laughing, they suddenly lined up in a row and stood up straight. Before Yi Erha could react, he was pulled over by Leng and stood side by side with him. When he saw Gong E and the others walking over, he said with a serious expression,"What are you talking about if you don't train?"
No one dared to answer. A young girl's voice sounded,""I'm training. They're teaching me how to use the flying guillotine.”
Gong E looked at his daughter and frowned.""Didn't they tell you that you're not worthy of the Flying Guillotine yet?”
When Yi Erha heard this, he couldn't help but get angry and asked angrily,""Why?"
Gong E sneered." Why not? You should run ten laps around the training ground first."”
Yi Erha saw Gong Er's reaction and thought,""Since you look down on me and think that a girl can't do this, why did you send me here? Since you asked me to come over, and with such an attitude, you're clearly saying that because I'm a girl, I'm inferior to them.”As she thought about it, she started to run.
Seeing this, Leng's heart ached as if it was something. She hurriedly said,"Commander, she just arrived. A girl's body isn't as strong as a boy's. This will hurt her body.”
Gong E looked at Yi Erha and felt his heart ache for a moment. He then thought about how Yilan would end up in a huge mess if she saw this. He sighed and said,""Follow her. When she's done running, let her rest. Today is her first day here, so let her adapt first.”
"Yes," Leng quickly replied.
Gong E glanced at Yi Erha again and said," The rest of you, continue your training." Then he left.
Everyone had a tacit understanding that the commander still cared about his daughter. It was not like this when they first arrived.
Just as everyone was thinking about it, Leng had already caught up to Yi Erha and was running side by side with her. Along the way, Leng taught her how to breathe in and out, and how to follow her footsteps and breathe so that she wouldn't feel tired. At first, Yi Erha was so tired that he couldn't run anymore. He panted heavily, but after hearing Leng's words, he slowly adjusted his breathing. He felt much more comfortable than before. No matter what, Yi Erha had never suffered like this before. There were a few times when he wanted to stop and rest, but when he thought of his Ma's attitude, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
When they finally finished running, Leng told Yi Erha to rest first, saying that she would stop training for the day. She also understood that she wanted to train with them again out of spite, but because she was really tired, she did not say anything.
Suddenly, Leng handed her something. Yi Erha didn't know what it was, but when he opened it and saw that it was a few lotus root powder osmanthus cakes, he quickly returned the cold and pouted."I'm not hungry."
"I know you're not hungry, so I'll let you have a taste. Is it delicious?"”
Only then did Yi Erha catch it and take a bite. As he chewed, he nodded at the man with a cold smile and said,""Yes, it's delicious." She was indeed hungry. These few days, because of her Ma and Mother's quarrel, she was not in the mood to eat. She did not eat at noon today and was feeling hungry. When she was cold, she brought her food. Unknowingly, she felt more dependent.
When it was time for dinner, Yi Erha, Leng, and the others went to the dining room together. What shocked Yi Erha was that she had only eaten two mouthfuls when the others had already put down their bowls and chopsticks and finished eating. She looked at them in surprise, and they looked at Yi Erha in the same way."Why are you eating so slowly?"
"It's fine. Eat slowly. After a while, you'll probably be as fast as us.”Yi Erha also smiled. They waited for Yi Erha while chatting before leaving.
