Maple leaves wither, tree shadows (finale)
Li Yilin told Situ Xiao that everything had been done, and as soon as the hour came, Shi Keyun would take a special plane and return to the west.
Situ Xiao decided to listen to Yilin's words, and finally met Shi Keyun, this woman, who paid a lot for him, but got nothing, and when it came to leaving, Situ Xiao was really full of guilt.
"Ke Yun, my Situ Xiao is ashamed of you, the love of this life, can only be repaid in the next life, and in the future, where there is a place for my Situ Xiao, Situ Xiao will definitely do his best. ”
"Keyun, board the plane tomorrow, I'll see you off. ”
"No, Mu Xuan, don't go, you go, I... ”
Situ Xiao thought about it, since this is the case, it is better to be free and easy, it is better for everyone.
"Then, I wish you a safe journey, and greet General Shi on my behalf. ”
Raising the glass, a drop of crystal tears fell into Shi Keyun's wine glass, and the two faced each other and drank it all.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, for Situ Xiao, for Li Mengzhu, and for Shi Keyun. Excitement, guilt, uneasiness, pain, reluctance, any kind of emotion makes this cool autumn night seem extremely long.
After drinking, Situ Xiao fell asleep peacefully, leaving his anxiety or reluctance to the two sleepless women.
The sky was hazy, and Li Yilin picked up Shi Keyun and Mengzhu from the Young Marshal's Mansion.
"Sister Meng, do you want to go see Mu Xuan again?" Yilin looked at his sister who had not slept all night, with a tired face, very unbearable.
Mengzhu shook his head.
When he arrived at the airport, Mengzhu said goodbye to Doublewood and Keyun and boarded the cabin.
A golden sun rises over the eastern coastline, and the sky is blue with white clouds.
The people, trees, and houses on the ground suddenly became smaller and smaller, and gradually blurred, Mengzhu turned around and tried to look out the window, take another look at Yunzhou, then look at the young marshal's mansion, and then look at this place that made her reluctant to give up, but with the roar of the plane, everything gradually faded away.
Wave your sleeves and take away the clouds on the horizon. Goodbye, Mu Xuan, goodbye, Brother Yilin, goodbye, Mom, goodbye, the beautiful Yunzhou City that gave me so much pain and all the joy!
She took out a piece of crystal clear ancient jade from her pocket, and the four Lishu fonts of "Life Peace" were dignified and generous, she reached out and stroked it, and hung it around her neck.
Mu Xuan, let me take away this piece of ancient jade that ties you and me, in the future, when you see Fan'er with him, you will know that Fan'er is your flesh and blood. No matter how reluctant you are, I still bless you and Keyun, and hope that you can transfer this love to her. Because, Mengzhu doesn't want his beloved to be lonely for a lifetime.
Situ Xiao didn't want to sleep so peacefully all night, so he got up and asked Ruan Jingyuan: "But Yun Ke has already set off?"
"Young Marshal, I was sent to the airport by Li Dutong early in the morning, and General Feng Shan has already set off for Yunzhou and returned to the west to resume his life. ”
Ruan Jingyuan replied.
"Okay, I don't know if Mengzhu got up or not, I'll take a look. ”
Situ Xiao went out of the door, feeling that the air in the young marshal's mansion today was very fresh, the sun was shining in autumn, and the flowers were also very delicate, even the fallen leaves, all of which flipped back and forth in the air like dancing, with their own style, there were a few birds in the sun, singing a little song on the branches, and when they saw Situ Xiao, they fluttered and flew on another branch.
He took a deep breath and smiled slightly, and with excitement and excitement, he walked easily and happily towards the dream bamboo house.
Yulian was cleaning the fallen leaves in front of the house outside, and when she saw Situ Xiao, she shouted: "Young marshal early." ”
Situ Xiao smiled slightly and asked, "Is the young lady up?"
"I've been up early. Yulian replied.
Situ Xiao nodded with a smile and said, "The weather is very good today, after cleaning, you can take a holiday, you go to the street for a walk." ”
Yulian said happily: "Thank you, young marshal." ”
Situ Xiao waved his hand and entered the house, the door was open, Situ Xiao stood outside the door, took a deep breath, adjusted his collar again, and gently pushed the door open.
The curtains in the room were not opened, the lights were not turned on, and the closing line was very dark, but he could see that she was wearing a sky-blue cheongsam, sitting in front of the bed with her back to the door, her head slightly lowered, her left hand supporting her face, and her long hair shawl, covering her left hand and face.
He crept up behind her and hugged her from behind, her body moving slightly, reaching out to grab his hand and gently caressing her face, a little teardrop.
He caressed her tender face, wiped away her tears, leaned in, his chin gently rubbed between her hair, he closed his eyes, and kissed the fragrance of her hair.
"Don't you like to use orchid-scented laundry and hair, how do you smell roses?" he asked softly, gently picking up a few strands of her hair with his hand and sniffing it.
She still bowed her head and didn't say anything, just grabbed him tightly and caressed one hand.
"Mengzhu, we can finally be together, I will fulfill all my promises, we will have many children, we will grow old together, in the future we will have children and grandchildren, you hold two, I will hold three. ”
"At that time, I will calm down and comb your hair, and buy all the most beautiful ornaments in Yunzhou City for you to coil your hair, do you know? Mengzhu, I like to see you wearing all kinds of ornaments dangling in front of me, and they all have an incomparable spirituality when they come to you. ”
He chattered and talked about their various bright futures, showing beautiful pictures that people looked forward to.
And all this, now for him, seemed to be right in front of him, and soon became a reality, he had thought that he would lose her forever, and he could not imagine that God would have mercy on him, and he would finally embrace her in his arms.
He lifted her hair behind her ears and held her face.
She raised her head, her face was full of tears, he took a step back in fright, rushed forward again, shook Shi Keyun's arms, his cheeks jumped violently, and asked in a trembling voice: "Keyun, why are you? Didn't you go back? Mengzhu? Where did Mengzhu go?"
Shi Keyun bowed his head and was silent.
Situ Xiao rushed out of the room violently, shouting as he ran: "Jingyuan, Jingyuan." ”
Ruan Jingyuan ran in from the outside, and almost collided with Situ Xiao who rushed out, but fortunately he stopped quickly, stood aside and asked, "Young marshal, Jingyuan is here." ”
"Where's Easylin, where is Easywood?" asked Situ Xiao loudly.
"Li Dutong has just arrived, waiting for you in the front hall. Before Ruan Jingyuan's words were finished, Situ Xiao had already rushed out like the wind
Rushing into the main hall, and seeing Li Yilin sitting on the chair in the middle, he pounced, grabbed him by the collar and asked: "Brother, where did you get my Mengzhu? Why is Shi Keyun in Mengzhu's room? I trust you so much? Why did you let Mengzhu go, where is she? Tell me, I'm going to find her back, and no matter how far she goes, I will chase her back!"
Li Yilin was pulled up from the chair by the crazy Situ Xiao, pulled and shook, he stabilized his body, pulled Situ Xiao's hand away, and pushed Situ Xiao suddenly, Situ Xiao was caught off guard, he pushed him and staggered, leaned on the wall, looked at Li Yilin intently, suddenly pulled out the gun from his waist, pointed at Li Yilin's head, gritted his teeth and said: "Give me back Mengzhu!"
Li Yilin raised his hand, and Situ Xiao shouted: "Don't move, return the dream bamboo to me!"
Ruan Jingyuan heard a voice outside, and came in and shouted: "Young marshal, be careful, please calm your anger and listen to Li Dutong's explanation." ”
"Get out!" Situ Xiao shouted to Ruan Jingyuan, and then said to Yilin: "Brother, it's you, all this is a good show that you and them co-act, right? Why? Mengzhu is your sister, I am your younger brother, why do you only listen to her and not listen to me, and let her go? Is Le Hengqing better than your own brother? Why do you want to ruin my happiness? Tell me, where is she? Where is she?"
Li Yilin looked at Situ Xiao, who was almost crazy, and said in a dumb voice: "Mu Xuan, I feel sorry for you, and I also feel sorry for Sister Meng, do you know how sad she is leaving? However, you can't catch up with her, she got on Shi Keyun's special plane, and changed her route to the north halfway, but I am afraid that she will arrive in Lin'an soon." ”
Li Yilin gently stepped forward and pressed down the muzzle of his gun, and said: "Mu Xuan, you see how crazy you are, you didn't even load the gun, you pointed it at me, this kind of mistake, I can't imagine that Situ Xiao, who is the head of the first army, will also make it." ”
Situ Xiao hung down the muzzle of the gun weakly and sat down on the chair.
"She left me after all, she looked for her love, she finally stopped loving me, I thought I could make her love me forever, as I loved her, but she left me after all. ”
"Mu Xuan, how much Sister Mengmei loves you, you don't understand, she has paid for your life's happiness, and you don't understand. Li Yilin pulled Situ Xiao's shoulders: "For the sake of Sister Meng, cheer up, she left with such grief for you, can you still bear to blame her?"
"What are you talking about, brother, if she loves me, she won't leave me, go to Le Hengqing's arms, and she won't leave me so ruthlessly. Situ Xiao said sadly: "She has changed her mind!"
"You are talking nonsense!" Li Yilin shouted, took out a letter from his body, threw it on Situ Xiao's body, and shouted: "You take a good look, open your eyes and take a good look." As he spoke, he sat down in his chair and wept bitterly.
Situ Xiao picked up the envelope and saw that it was Mengzhu's handwriting, and he hurriedly opened it.
A line of silk shows in front of Situ Xiao's eyes, and Situ Xiao's tears drip down on the letterhead, wetting the words one by one, and the letterhead is soon blurred.
"Mu Xuan, you understand why Mengzhu has to leave, according to the current strength of Yujun, it can't resist attacks from both sides, so your peace agreement with Ye Jun can't be torn up, Mengzhu made up her mind before she came back, but she couldn't let go of you after all, she came back, not only worried that you wouldn't let go of Alan and them if you couldn't see her, but she also wanted to come back to see you and let you know how much she loved you!"
Situ Xiao closed his eyes for a long time and let the tears hit the letterhead.
Suddenly stood up, rushed to Mengzhu's bedroom, opened the hand jewelry box on Mengzhu's dresser, the ancient jade that had been placed in it was gone, he lifted the pillow towel again, and the silk scarf lay down peacefully, but there was an extra blood-red Xiaokai next to it: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight." ”
Situ Xiao held the silk scarf in his hand, rushed out, and shouted to the sky: "Mengzhu, I love you!"
The voice was blown by the wind, ethereal, into the clouds, Mengzhu seemed to hear it, from the cabin, gently turned around, two lines of crystal tears silently fell from the pink face.
*******
Time flies, and three years have passed in a blink of an eye.
"Haha, Mu Xuan, you lost again. Li Yilin looked at the chess pieces on several cases and said, "Mu Xuan, you have been absent-minded for the past two days, and you have something on your mind." ”
"Brother, why can't I hear about Mengzhu everywhere?"
I heard that Le Linfeng secretly released Li Yilin and his subordinates because of Le Hengqing, after Mengzhu went back, Le Linfeng opposed Le Hengqing and Mengzhu's marriage, and secretly sent Mengzhu and Fan'er abroad, and later Le Hengqing also chased after him?
I don't know if the legend is true or not, but it is certain that Mengzhu did not settle in Lin'an, but in the past few years, he has inquired in overseas countries, but he has not found any news.
"I tried to get in touch with them, but it was all to no avail. Doublelin sighed.
"I also asked friends from all over the world to inquire in many ways, but there is no whereabouts of Mengzhu and Fan'er, brother, I have been restless lately, I can't grow old with Mengzhu, I have to know where Mengzhu is, and I have a good life. ”
"Yes, Sister Meng, where will she be?" Both of them looked out the window, as if they could find Mengzhu there, but their faces showed a look of disappointment and longing.
"Young Marshal, tomorrow's adaptation ceremony is ready. Ruan Jingyuan reported.
"Good. Situ Xiao and Li Yilin looked at each other, and finally didn't let Mengzhu's thoughts go to waste, which was also the only way for Situ Xiao to settle his heart.
After Mengzhu left, Shi Keyun said that he was pregnant, Feng Shan went back to show Shi Zhibang, and Shi Keyun also telegraphed his father, saying that he was pregnant with Situ Xiao's flesh and blood. Shi Zhibang was overjoyed.
The year before last, Shi Keyun really gave birth to a little son, Shi Zhibang was even more overjoyed, his daughter gave birth to a successor for the Situ family, and his own army fell into the future, and he was also a person with the blood of his Shi family, who made him childless in his life?
Shi Zhibang assigned all his troops to Situ Xiao in accordance with the peace treaty, and Situ Xiao called on him at any time, leaving only one of his descendants. Tomorrow, it is the acceptance ceremony, after tomorrow, Shi Zhibang's entire army will be his Situ Xiao's army, and the venue of the ceremony will be in the big square in the center of Yunzhou City.
Early the next morning, all the senior generals of the Yu army and the Ye army gathered in the square to wait for Situ Xiao's arrival, and Situ Xiao, accompanied by the guards, got into a special car and drove towards the city center.
"Parking. Passing by the back door of the Red Cross School on the way, Situ Xiao suddenly shouted.
The driver stopped the car, and Ruan Jingyuan looked in the direction of Situ Xiao's vision, and the fiery red maple leaves on several tall maple trees in the courtyard of the school were fluttering in the autumn wind, like bursts of fire rolling in the wind, and like a bright flag flying in the wind.
Ruan Jingyuan knew that this was originally a Catholic church, where the wedding of Situ Xiao and his young wife Li Mengzhu was held, and this year, it was transformed into a Red Cross school to accommodate poor children who could not afford to study.
Situ Xiao got out of the car and walked into the school, where the building remained the same, except that a building was added in the backyard as a place for the children to study.
There was a big lawn in front of the building, where a group of children were playing football, and a child of twelve or thirteen got up and kicked the ball away, and the ball flew out of the distance and hit a little boy of four or five years old who was standing in the distance, and the little boy was hit by the ball, fell to the ground, turned over, touched his body, got up, picked up the ball and ran.
The children who were playing the ball hurriedly chased after them and shouted, "Xiaofan, give the ball to my brother." ”
"If you don't give, if you don't give, you don't give, if you don't let me play, I won't give it to you. ”
Xiao Fan held the ball, twisted his little buttocks and ran towards Situ Xiao, rested on Situ Xiao's feet with one foot, and fell to the ground, the ball rolled out of his arms and was picked up by a child who was chasing.
Xiao Fan rolled and stood up, got up and went to grab the ball in the child's hand, but he couldn't grab it, only to see him look back at Situ Xiao and shout: "Uncle, you help me grab the ball, I asked my mother to give you candy." ”
Situ Xiao saw that Xiaofan was very cute, and said with a smile: "Who is your mother?"
The boy who picked up the ball said, "It's our teacher, and the teacher said that Brother Xiaofan is still too young, and when he grows up a little more, we will take him to play ball together." ”
The other children nodded their heads.
"I don't care, I'm going to play, I'm going to play. Xiao Fan actually ran to Situ Xiao and hugged his thigh and said, "Uncle, my mother gave me two candies yesterday, I haven't eaten them yet, you teach me to play football, I'll give it to you." ”
He tilted his little head, his two big eyes flickered, Situ Xiao felt as familiar as familiarity, hugged Xiao Fan and said, "Uncle doesn't have time now, uncle is going to the front to see the maple leaf, and when uncle has time, I'll teach you to play football, okay?"
Xiao Fan's face changed when he heard this: "You lied to me, you lied to me." ”
was about to get down from Situ Xiao's body, a thick red silk thread actually hung on Situ Xiao's wind buckle, Situ Xiao lowered his head and pulled it gently, and a piece of crystal white ancient jade was revealed in the underwear around Xiaofan's neck, Situ Xiao was stunned, took it and took a closer look, and suddenly the blood in his whole body surged.
Xiao Fan saw Situ Xiao take the ancient jade he was close to, and shouted: "Give it back to me, this is the baby my mother gave me, you give it back to me." ”
Situ Xiao looked at the four big characters written in the official book on it: "Life is safe." He picked up Xiao Fan and asked, "Where did this jade come from?"
"My mother gave it to me, you give it back to me. Xiao Fan reached out and grabbed it.
"What's your mother's name?" "Tell me, what's your mother's name?" Situ Xiao asked eagerly.
"My mother's name is Li Linxi, and my name is Situ Fan. Xiao Fan snatched Gu Yu and put it around his neck, slipped off Situ Xiao's body, and ran towards the front door of the church.
"Li Linxi, Lin Xi, Mengzhu?" Situ Xiao strode after Xiao Fan and walked towards the front door.
Xiao Fan ran very fast, and after a little smoke, he ran to the front yard.
"Mom, that uncle doesn't teach me to play football, he still shows my jade. ”
A young woman was standing under the maple leaves, looking up at the fiery red maple leaves, Xiao Fan ran forward, threw herself into her arms, and pointed at Situ Xiao and said.
The young woman squatted down, patted the dirt on Xiao Fan's body, and said angrily: "Is Xiao Fan naughty again, pestering my brother and them to teach you how to play football? ”
"I'm sorry, the kid is not sensible, he must be pestering you to teach him to play football, right?" said the young woman to Situ Xiao.
But seeing a pair of deep eyes on the handsome face she thought about day and night, two lines of crystal tears flowed down his cheeks, and his lips squirmed and called out two words: "Mengzhu!"
