After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

When Helan Xuenuo heard about the ice hole, she realized something was wrong. Yuan Xu was not there at the time, so how could she know that she couldn't swim?

And he happened to appear nearby the next day? How could it be such a coincidence?

Recalling that day, Yuan Xu had said that the news of her falling into the ice hole spread throughout the capital in a few days.

But very few people knew about this matter. Apart from her, no one else knew about it.

She asked thoughtfully, "How do you know I can't swim?"

Yuan Xu thought about Gu Shicheng's appearance just now. After recalling these times, he found that there seemed to be something between Helan Xuenuo and Gu Shicheng, but Helan Xuenuo did not tell him why it happened.

He had a bad suspicion in his heart. What was going on between Helan Xuenuo and Gu Shicheng? Otherwise, why would she do such nonsensical things one after another?

Xiao Yuanzhao once told him in a letter that Gu Shicheng saved Helan Xuenuo.

At that time, Xiao Yuanzhao's ghost painting showed two men pulling a woman's arm respectively. Based on the content of the letter, he guessed that the painting was of Gu Shicheng and Huang Jiuyuan.

Gu Shicheng appeared as a ghost in the letter.

Huang Jiuyuan was not spared and was painted as a pig's head.

Thinking about all this.

He suddenly felt very angry.

But I have no right to be so angry.

He didn't want to remain mute anymore, nor did he intend to hide anything. "I know you have a bad memory, but it's not this bad, is it? That day you fell into the glacier, and I pulled you out. Didn't your sister Qi tell you? You pretended not to know, and if you didn't want to worry about me saving you, I would have cooperated with you. Now that you want to bring it up again, I really don't know whether you know or not. How should I cooperate with you?"

Helan Xuenuo was shocked.

It turns out that Qi Didi knew that it was Yuan Xu who saved her, but since she never mentioned it, she knew that Yuan Xu didn't tell her, so she concealed it and made up the story that Gu Shicheng saved her.

She was speechless.

He looked at Yuan Xu with a hint of resentment. For so many days, something that Yuan Xu could have explained clearly with just one word, so why did he have to hide it for so long? There must be a reason why he was lonely for so long in his previous life.

But... Yuan Xu had saved her after all, and she felt even more guilty. Seeing Yuan Xu angry, she hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, Qi Didi told me that it was Gu Shicheng who saved me, and I misunderstood."

Yuan Xu's expression relaxed and the anger dissipated.

As long as Helan Xuenuo softened a little, he would be out of breath.

He was thinking about something, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

It turned out that Helan Xuenuo misunderstood that the person who saved her was Gu Shicheng, so there were all these entanglements between them. If he had known this earlier, he should have said it earlier.

After all, he saved someone, so he couldn't keep talking about it, for fear that Helan Xuenuo would feel pressured.

But after he returned, he thought more and more that something was wrong with her falling into the ice hole, so he revisited the place and found that it was not accidental.

Given the sisterhood between Qi Didi and Helan Xuenuo, he couldn't make a conclusion and could only remind Helan Xuenuo.

Fortunately, Helan Xuenuo took what he said to heart.

Thinking of this, my heart instantly felt warm.

Yuan Xu was just angry, but now he noticed that Helan Xuenuo was soaked, with water dripping from the ends of her hair. He became worried, looked into the distance, and said, "Wait here for a moment."

After Yuan Xu left, Helan Xuenuo felt a chill coming over her, and her whole body was extremely cold. It was clearly not winter, but the river water was colder than in winter.

This piercing feeling dragged her back to her previous life.

She also felt the same biting chill after her death.

She curled up in a ball and shivered.

After a while, Yuan Xu came back with a bundle of firewood in his arms. Seeing Helan Xuenuo shaking, he quickly started a fire.

The two of them built a fire and warmed themselves by it.

Yuan Xu was not much better off, his whole body was soaked.

He looked towards the Shiluo River, sneezed, and turned back to look at Helan Xuenuo with worry in his eyes, "Do you know what river this is?"

Roasting by the fire, Helan Xuenuo felt much better and no longer felt as uncomfortable as before.

She rubbed her hands and exhaled, "What river? Isn't it just an ordinary river?"

Yuan Xu shook his head and said, "This river is not an ordinary river. It is called Shiluo River. It is said that a soul died in the river. The soul's name was Shiluo. She was betrayed by her lover and jumped into the river to die. She swore an oath with her blood, cursing the person who hurt her, saying that she would never be reincarnated.

Therefore, no one dares to approach the Shiluo River until now. It is said that anyone who falls into this river and stays there for too long will be infected with cold evil and there will be no way to save him.

And... there's also a saying that if a person dies and their body is thrown into the Shiluo River, they will be condemned to eternal life, unable to be reincarnated."

Lost Luo River?

After she committed suicide in her previous life, her body turned into darkness and her consciousness faded away bit by bit.

The old princess's voice echoed in her ears from far away, sometimes far away, sometimes near.

She remembered every word clearly.

The old princess had her body thrown into the Shiluo River, where she would never be reincarnated.

Suddenly his whole body trembled and his teeth clenched.

It turns out... even after she died in her previous life, the old princess did not let her go and made her never enter the cycle of reincarnation. She was extremely vicious.

Although she and the old princess were not familiar with each other in this life, but after living a new life, bad people are still bad at heart, and how can a born bad person become good?

Thinking of what the old princess did to her in her previous life, she still hates her to the core.

She couldn't hold this anger in any longer and had to let it out.

Yuan Xu saw that Helan Xuenuo was lost in thought and was afraid that she was hurt by the cold air of Shiluo River. He stood up and walked to Helan Xuenuo, put the back of his hand on her forehead and felt it. The temperature was normal.

Fortunately, I don’t have a fever.

Helan Xuenuo came back to her senses and felt the back of Yuan Xu's hand against her forehead. She felt that Yuan Xu's hand was rough and warm.

Yuan Xu looked her in the eye, his cheeks flushed red from the fire, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

After not seeing each other for so many days, Helan Xuenuo found that Yuan Xu looked stronger, especially his jaw, which was a straight line with sharp edges and corners, making him look quite handsome.

She didn't know when it started, but Yuan Xu was very different from the slug in her memory, and seemed to be slowly changing.

Yuan Xu sat back down with confidence.

Helan Xuenuo began to wonder. If, in her previous life, the old princess had cast her into the Shiluo River, leaving her forever unable to reincarnate, was this all just a dream? Was she trapped in this dream?

She was startled, felt a chill, and her breathing became rapid.

She looked up at Yuan Xu who was at the other side of the fire. Yuan Xu's eyes were focused on his hands, turning them over and warming them.

The fire burned her eyes, causing a few tears to form. "You said... if the body is trapped in the Shiluo River, it will truly be forever, unable to reincarnate? That... is so unfair."

Yuan Xu picked up a piece of wood from the ground and stirred the fire, making it burn brighter. "These are just rumors. Who knows if they are true or not? But...it's strange. When I was a child, I met a wizard who lived nearby. He once told me there was a way to break the curse. I just need to ask him to perform a ritual, fish out the corpse, and sacrifice the remaining life of a living person. In this way, the river guardian can live again and break the curse of Shi Luo."

Helan Xuenuo listened carefully.

Seeing her serious expression, Yuan Xu couldn't help but laugh. "You believe this too? But... that wizard seems a bit mysterious now that I think of him. He once told me he lived 500 meters east of the Shiluo River and that I would go find him one day. Now that I think about it... he's probably just a charlatan."

After hearing this, Helan Xuenuo's heart beat violently. She found that everything seemed complicated. Now she could start over again. Could it be that someone sacrificed himself for her in exchange for her dream?

An idea popped up in her mind, but she wasn't sure yet. She looked straight at Yuan Xu, "If the person you love was trapped in the Shiluo River, would you be willing to sacrifice the rest of your life in exchange for her to be reborn?"
