When Qin Sang woke up, he was already on the boat. She no longer spoke to Li Wangping, but just thought intently, who was the person who shot on the city tower? Could it be Yi Liankai? If he really shot himself, he would still be like his usual temperament. But why did he miss it? Maybe he did it on purpose? Will he deliberately miss it? Or like he said, he will break off?

Three years of husband and wife, to this day, how to break the grace, how to break the righteousness?

In such a troubled world, he sent her away, so where would he go? Will he stay in Zhenhan Pass to deal with Yi Lianshen, or will he be used as cannon fodder and sent to the front line battlefield?

She felt that she couldn't think about it, and when she thought about it, she was on the verge of breaking down, but she couldn't stop thinking about it. And Li Wangping seemed to know her heart, and only said to her: "He will come, he promised me." ”

He had promised her that he would never leave her again. Whether the situation is good or bad, never leave her alone.

But his last words were: "I'm tired, you can go." ”

She has always felt disapproving, and she has never been impressed with this marriage and this relationship. Because she doesn't like it, because she doesn't want it, even Yi Liankai is a person, she feels dispensable. But she always knew, as long as she was willing, he would always accept it, just like she knew, even if her heart had already gone thousands of miles away, and he was waiting for her in the same place.

Love words are difficult to say, love words are also difficult to understand, what she was sure of, but now, it has become uncertain. If he didn't wait for her, if he suddenly didn't want her, he would suddenly say that he was tired.

Then let her go.

She couldn't help but be sent away by him.

He really didn't want her anymore.

She felt that these ten days were more difficult and older than ten years. He thought carefully about every word he said, and thought carefully about everything he did, and finally he broke the pair of bracelets, and he broke off his righteousness, and the smile on his face was so happy, as if it was not the bracelet that was broken, but a shackle that had imprisoned him for a long time. Why did he feel relieved? Maybe he was really a drag on him at that time.

The mighty river seemed to be flowing endlessly, and she always thought in silence, whether it was right or wrong? If she could turn around and go back now, would she be able to see him again? If she had the opportunity to see him again, would she say what she really wanted to say in her heart?

The boat traveled on the river for two or three days before leaving the boundary controlled by the Fu army. They were stopped twice on the way, but because the war was raging, the two sides did not make it difficult for the ships of the neutral countries. Li Wangping kept a heart along the way, and waited for the river area controlled by the Fu army to gradually let go. Whenever the ship docked, perhaps the wharf was a huge town, I bought a newspaper to read. First of all, Li Chongnian telegraphed to declare independence, and then the city of Fuyuan was destroyed by artillery fire, and the dead and wounded. A day later, the newspaper I bought said that Yi Lianshen's remnants declared war on Li Chongnian, and the two sides exchanged fire in the northwest, but Yi Lianshen's remnants had limited strength, so another faction of warlords Jiang Shuangxi was also involved.

Qin Sang was concerned for days, but there was no news about Yi Liankai in any newspaper. The warlords of all roads are frequently electrified, and they insist on their own words. The cabinet was completely out of control, first the president telegraphed the resignation of the whole country, and then the general resignation of the cabinet, and Li Chongnian announced that he would re-elect members of the National Assembly, but on the other hand, he was heavily approaching Changye. The southern provinces raised troops one after another and telegraphed to declare independence, while the warlords in the north, headed by Murong Chen, announced that they would elect a parliament in Qianping.

It's a troubled time after all, Qin Sang thought a little tiredly. The surging waters of the Yongjiang River flowed endlessly, as if taking away all her thoughts, and she already felt exhausted. In such a chaotic situation, the future is really uncertain.

On this day, the ship finally arrived in Changye, Qin Sang stood on the deck, looking at the sails on both sides of the strait, the city was picturesque, and there was really a feeling of being separated from the world. Gone for only a few months, when returning, Jiangcheng is spring, the weeping poplars by the river have new goose yellow leaves, smoke cage ten miles of long causeway, lush, reflecting the river water seems to bring spring. And the grass on the embankment is long, only to see two or three children, leading the kite to fly, facing the river wind, flying extremely high and far. No matter how things change, this spring still comes to the world. Qin Sang couldn't help but think of the poems of the Tang Dynasty: "Ruthlessness is the most Taicheng willow, and it is still a ten-mile embankment." ”

Indeed, no matter how chaotic the situation is, spring is still a bright scene. The steamer she was on had a very deep draft because of its large hull. Stopped in the middle of the river, and could not build a trestle, only rowed by a small sampan and picked up the passengers to get off the boat. Qin Sang didn't have much luggage when she left, so she didn't rush off the boat, and when everyone on the boat was almost gone, Li Wangping helped her calmly take the sampan ashore. But seeing a prosperous scene on the wharf, countless ships were busy loading and unloading their cargo, there were even passenger ships berthing, travelers were weaving back and forth, and cars and foreign cars were parked like a long queue, bustling and noisy, compared to the situation of boarding the ship in Fuyuan that night, it was really like two worlds.

She thought to herself, as the war dragged on, how long could such a peaceful situation be maintained? Changye was originally a thoroughfare of nine provinces and a military important place where two rivers collided, but she was afraid that sooner or later it would be like Fu Yuan, bombarding the city with artillery. Now it is like flowers blooming with brocade and cooking oil on a blazing fire. She raised her eyes to see the crowd of people, and thought to herself that if she didn't go home, she would turn around and leave, and there would be no more troubles. But Yi Liankai's life and death are uncertain, and what should he do in his current situation?

When he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a car horn sound, and a black car drove over and stopped, and a person jumped out of the car and said eagerly: "I can be regarded as looking for you." ”

She looked at it and saw that it was Gao Shaoxuan. I haven't seen him for a few months, he is wearing a suit vest, obviously a handsome boy, but he is sweating profusely, and he still shows a student-like childishness. His dark eyes looked straight at her, his eyes full of concern. Seeing that she recognized herself, Gao Shaoxuan felt that the boss was embarrassed, bowed according to Western etiquette, and said, "Hello, madam." ”

Qin Sang also replied politely: "Young Master Gao is good." ”

Gao Shaoxuan said: "This is not the place to talk, please get in the car, madam." ”

Qin Sang was very strange in his heart, and after getting into the car, he learned that it was Min Hongyu who had sent a telegram to Gao Peide half a month ago, and Gao Peide was deeply favored by the Yi family, although he was powerless to return to the situation in Fuyuan, but when he heard that the third young grandmother of the Yi family took a British ship back to Changye, he immediately sent people to the dock to wait every day. When Gao Shaoxuan heard the news, he asked his father for this errand. He had to go to the dock several times a day to see, and every time the ship entered the port, he had to look around, until now he was almost desperate, and he almost didn't have the courage to come to this dock anymore, but he still had the hope of what happened, so he still came to see it every day, and he never thought that he could really receive Qin Sang today.

Qin Sang was very grateful and said, "Thank you, Young Master Gao, now ...... ...... now" she said two "now" in a row, but only finally sighed faintly, looked at the street scene passing by outside the car window, and said no more.

Gao Shaoxuan knew that she was worried about Yi Liankai's safety, so he comforted her and said: "No news is the best news." My father sent a very capable person to the northwest, and he was trying his best to inquire about the whereabouts of his son, so the young grandmother didn't have to worry too much. ”

Gao Shaoxuan sent her to the Yi house in Changye City, and several servants of the Yi family saw her like a phoenix, and hugged her into the house, and Han's mother burst into tears: "Young grandma, you are back." Seeing such a situation, Gao Shaoxuan was inconvenient to sit for a long time, so he immediately left. And Li Wangping saw that she looked tired, so he said: "I will also leave first, please rest assured, I will definitely try my best to inquire about his whereabouts." ”

Qin Sang nodded and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Wangping smiled, seemed a little melancholy, and after a while, he said, "This is the first time you have thanked me for him." ”

Qin Sang said slowly: "He clearly knew who you were, but he didn't kill you. ”

Li Wangping said: "So I will inquire for you, please rest assured, our people in the northwest also have a relationship, and we will definitely be able to inquire." ”

Qin Sang asked, "So where are you going now?"

Li Wangping said: "The war has been ignited, so it is natural to go to the most dangerous place." The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and this time I did not fulfill my responsibility because of my personal relationship, so now I have to fulfill my responsibility. ”

Qin Sang also no longer asked him where he was going, but said, "Then, please cherish it." ”

Li Wangping bowed and said, "Mrs. Yi, please cherish it." He stared at Qin Sang for a moment, then turned around and strode away.

Qin Sang was tired of traveling for days, but he was also extremely tired. When the family saw her return, they also felt relieved. Han's mother served her to take a bath and change clothes, and helped her get a hair dryer to dry her hair, and said, "Young grandma, take a rest, I see that your face is really tired." ”

Qin Sang was indeed so tired that he didn't even want to speak, so with a "hmm" sound, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep. Han's mother covered her with the quilt, lowered the curtains again, and walked out of the house lightly.

Qin Sang had a good night's sleep, but he had no dreams, and he slept for more than ten hours before waking up. When I woke up, I saw the pale white light on the window, and it didn't seem to be very bright outside, and I thought to myself, did I sleep until it was dark? I opened the window and saw that the night was deep, but there was a bright moon in the sky, and the pale white light on the window was the moonlight like water.

The moonlight is reflected in the center of the building, but it is cold and cold. She hugged her arm and couldn't help but feel a little chill. Changye was originally warmer than Fu Yuan, compared to the cold Guanzhong, it was two solar terms, and in spring, Changye City was only slightly cold at night. She heard the sound of insects in the grass downstairs, and it turned out that spring had really come.

She added an extra shawl and saw on the table what she had brought with her. She didn't bring any luggage when she came back, but this handbag never left her. Although Yi Lianshen sent someone to search for her once in Zhenhan Pass, she did not carry a weapon, so the handbag was still returned to her. She opened her handbag, and there were two gold bars in it, and she took them out and set them aside. The other is the butterfly box of the second young grandmother, she took out the box, bathed in the moonlight, and the butterfly carved on it was lifelike, as if she was about to fly away.

She opened the cassette once, and it was easier to open it again at this time, and after putting the secret key on the table, it popped open, and inside was a house deed, and the address was Min Hongyu. When she left, she wanted to give this deed to Min Hongyu, but she insisted on not taking it. The so-called strange woman in the dust, Min Hongyu is probably one. She still remembered that Min Hongyu smiled at that time and said, "Young grandmother, my house is just a golden cage, and the birds in the cage don't matter whether there is a deed or not. ”

What did I say at the time? I was just speechless. In the face of such a transparent woman, why do you need to say more than half a word?

She removed the deed, and underneath it was the neatly folded handkerchief.

She only read the short note from the second young grandmother once, but every word, why didn't she turn it over and over in her heart, and thought about it thousands of times.

"Third brother, the handkerchief is gone, you are furious, even your nurse Zhang's mother, you have been driven to the countryside. I made up my mind at that time that I would never give this handkerchief back to you. I am indeed a thief, and I have stolen what you regard as the most important and precious thing, but unfortunately I have not been able to steal your heart. ”

The handkerchief is a Western style, and at that time it was still a fashionable and playful thing, and her mother asked someone to bring it back from abroad, and she only had this one.

She held the handkerchief, and after so many years, the pattern weaving road is still so clear and new.

She seemed to see her seven or eight-year-old self, because she was suffering from a rash and fever, so she was taken by her mother to a foreign clinic for injections. I have to go every day, and every time I go, I always meet a boy who is twelve or thirteen years old, he has a head injury, so he has to go to the clinic every day to get anti-inflammatory injections.

The boy is obviously from everyone, and in addition to the nurse, there are two old mothers who follow him every time. But everyone's little master is naturally stubborn, and he always purses his mouth when he gets an injection, and he doesn't say a word. Several people couldn't hold him down, and every time he struggled to toss the nurse, he was sweating profusely, and he only told him: "My third young master, it won't hurt after the injection......!

In fact, she knew that he was not afraid of pain, nor was he stubborn, because once she had just finished getting a needle, and he happened to be staring at her with wide eyes. Her mother patted her vest and coaxed her: "Don't cry." At that time, he turned his face away, she was only seven or eight years old, and for some reason she understood that he had no mother, so he looked at their mother and daughter like this.

Maybe it was because of pity, maybe it was because of a soft childlike heart, so when he got an injection that day, one arm hit the back of the chair and broke the skin on the elbow, so she wrapped it for him with her own handkerchief, and told him softly: "Little brother, don't be like this, hurt yourself, if your mother knows, she will not feel good." ”

At that time, he only glanced at her, but did not speak. But since then, he has stopped making a fuss before the injection.

In the end, she finished the injection and never went to the clinic again, and later, the family moved to Changye. Later, she completely forgot that there was such an incident when she was a child.

Now, she remembered, remembered that he had asked her name back then.

She said that my name is Qin Sang, and Qin Sang has low green branches. Tongyin Langlang, every time she memorizes this poem, her father will praise her for being well-behaved.

And he smiled at her, as if to praise her name. Both of them had rubber strapped to the backs of their hands, and the potion in the syringe was dripping little by little, and he and she sat side by side in chairs, and the clinic was quiet. The caretaker came in with candy, gave each of them a piece, and complimented, "Two little adults, so good!"

The breeze outside the window is soft, the spring is bright, and the foreign fruit candy is very sweet, contained in the cheeks, hard, and can't be eaten in half a day. But he never peeled off his piece of candy, and only when she finished eating it did he quietly reach out and give her his piece.

He still had her handkerchief tied around his arm, and she remembered his palm, which was white and soft, not like a boy's hand. Although she never asked his name, he said, "This candy is for you to eat, my name is Yi Liankai." ”
