v1c3 Part 2 – Fifty Strings of Sideless Brocade Zither
This way of reducing the temperature is very simple but effective. Just when she removed his sleeve, something slides down to his wrist. Using the light from the candle, Qing Chen saw that it is a black coloured beads bracelet. She immediately recognised that those are very pure black obsidian, the black lustre was deep, each of the beads reflected rainbow like glow in the quiet and deep night.
The candle light was waning, the tourmaline bracelet on Qing Chen’s wrist suddenly flashed a seven coloured glow. Unconsciously, she thought of the f Jiu Zhuan Ling Long Zhen*** formation, also the mysterious sorcerer’s race’s forbidden spell. Since the Jiu Zhuan Ling Long Zhen formation is formed using different crystal stones, then if she found the 9 required crystal stones, does that mean she can return to her previous world?
**(T/N): 九转玲珑阵 – the name of the formation which can also be translated as Nine Charming Cycle
This thought made her very excited. While her mind was wondering, the man slightly moved. Qing Chen was worried that if turning his body might hurt his injury, so she quickly pushed down his hand. Out of expectation, he suddenly grabbed her hand firmly. Qing Chen was stunned, then she tried to remove her hand, only to feel his hold was very firm, as though he was enduring extreme pain. Her heart fell, so she stopped moving.
She continued to change the cloth on his forehead, at the same time, her mind was busy thinking about the events that happened. Just like that, she continued for the whole night till right before dawn, Qing Chen finally fell asleep next to the bed. When she woke up, dawn has arrived with the soft light spreading towards four directions. The thin quilt that was originally placed on Shi Yi’s shoulders is now on hers, her hand was covered by the man’s long fingers, giving a feeling of being protected. She gently removed her hand, then put his hand under the blanket. It looked like his fever has cooled down and he was sleeping deeply.
Qing Chen felt like a heavy weight has been lifted, softly said: “That’s great.”
“What’s great?” Shi Yi’s voice suddenly rang behind her.
Surprised, Qing Chen turned around, glared at him and said: “Why were you so quiet? You scared me!”
Shi Yi did not argue, but smiled and softly said: “We have troubled you last night.”
Qing Chen knew that he was tired, and he actually did not sleep well last night either so she did not mind, but lightly said: “Um, just remember that you owe me one.”
Shi Yi folded his arms in front of his chest, laughingly asked: “Then, how do I return the favor? Just say it.”
“I have not thought of one, I will let you know when I have decided, just owe me for now.” Qing Chen said.
“Sure, just count me in your debt.” Shi Yi frankly said, “Such a rare opportunity shouldn’t be wasted, I don’t just agree with anyone’s request.”
Qing Chen squinted her eyes, not believing him. Shi Yi laughed and said: “I will go out to take a look, at the same, will bring back something good to eat.”
“Sure!” Qing Chen, who is also quite curious about the area, said: “I will go with you.”
Shi Yi shook his head, made a gesture of asking for a favour, pointed at the person on the bed.
Qing Chen turned her head to look, raised her brows, rolled her clear eyes, said: “Two requests.”
“You’re taking advantage of the situation.” Shi Yi softly said with a light laugh, but did not reject, “As long as fourth brother is safe, 2 requests do not count as anything.”
Qing Chen was actually joking, but seeing him accepting her condition, she pursed her lips, laughed and said: “Ha! go, I will be here.”
Shi Yi laughed heartily, turned around and left.
Qing Chen watched him leave through the window, the bamboo house was built leaning on the mountain, half hidden by the bamboo forest. The summer wind was slightly cool, the sky outside was blue like blue tourmaline, golden sunlight gently covering the wide sky.
She stood in front of the window and extended her hand, as though trying to catch that gentle glow that flowed in through the window. That glow was slightly dazzling.
Even the sunlight felt like a stranger.
She sighed, lazily sat next to the table, uncaringly picked the zither. The long zither string trembles under her fingers, releasing an almost undetected sound. This zither is different from the one she had seen before, but those bizarre memories flowed in like water into her heart, two memories intersecting, fusing together becoming a new memory. She was curious, so lifted her hand and picked the strings one by one, taking her time fumbling with the zither.
In the midst of the movement of the strings and trembles of the zither, she could almost see a white silhouette, peach red filling the mountain, deep in the rain shower song after song from the zither, waves after waves of falling flowers.
Flowers falling like snow, the sound of zither entering the dream, there is a little sadness and yearning, gentleness and reluctance, this is a feeling that she had never felt before. There are broken pieces of shadows within the sound of the zither but they not clear, those broken pieces of the past piecing together, leaving only one deep feeling, it’s an unspeakable sadness, moving people’s heart strings. The sound from the zither’s strings becomes very, very soft, a song is over. Lost in her thought, she lifted her hand pressing the zither string, doing her best to hold on to the broken pieces of the feeling, suddenly hearing a clear and cold voice said: “If you move slowly from the second to the third note, it will sound better.”
