393 Like a dream
The night is as quiet as water.
The whole village of Shanmaozi is quiet, and the small courtyard under the tower of forgetting the world is like a woman snuggled in the arms of a lover, well-behaved, docile, and silent.
The moonlight was white, and the woman in white was like a dream, her posture was light, her steps were gentle, and she walked up step by step, and after about an hour, she finally climbed to the top, the top of the Tower of Forgetfulness.
Spend 1,000 taels of silver to repair this tower, the craftsman of Shanmaozi is real, not only the tower ladder is repaired strongly, but even the oil paint peeling off the four walls has been refreshed, the moonlight is reflected from the window, and the whole tower is golden.
The dumb girl stretched out her hand and rubbed it, the railing was cold, and the late autumn night was a little cold.
Looking up at the window, the moon seemed to be closer to the tower high up, and he could reach out and touch the moon.
She walked slowly, closer to the small window, and reached out, touching the moon.
The palms of the hands were empty, but they didn't touch anything.
His body and bosom were empty.
The corners of her mouth lifted and she laughed silently.
The smile is delicate and bitter.
She likes the nine purple silk, the exquisite Boshan furnace, the fragrant green clay incense, and porcelain, she once wanted to bring a batch of Meimei, but in the end she didn't bring anything, she was empty-handed.
"It's good to be empty-handed, the stripes come and go, and there is no concern.
Only in this way can we go neatly and simply, and we can go to nothing to worry about.
Liu Wan, orchid, orchid, Shen'er, Qian'er, Aunt Yang, and the little girl Xue'er in Liufu, as well as the third aunt who is obsessed with embroidery, and the big brother of the fish king on the bank of the warm river...... Take care, I'm leaving...... And you, thank you for the care and protection you have given me these days, I see your goodness in my eyes and remember it in my heart, so I forgive you...... No more resentment...... Take care......"
After muttering, he looked at the moon of this world for the last time, no longer nostalgic, grabbed the window with both hands, raised his feet and stepped on it, let go of his hand, and fell towards the sky.
It will be shattered, it will hurt very much, it will be out of the body, if it goes well, it will go back, or, if it doesn't go well, it will just disappear and disappear from the world......
It was strange that she didn't hear the wind whistling in her ears, she didn't fly in the air like a kite with a broken string, and she didn't have her clothes fluttering in the wind.
Only the moonlight swirls like a dreamy in the heights.
She felt the world spin around, and her body was hanging upside down in mid-air.
A hand gripped her foot and neck.
She didn't fall, she still lives on earth.
She was slowly pulled back to the window, dragged back into the tower, plopped, and thrown to the ground.
It hurts so much to fall.
The person who grabbed her acted rudely, without any sense of pity and pity.
"Why save me, why don't you want me to die?"
The dumb aunt struggled to get up, she was mad, she didn't appreciate this man's life-saving grace at all, she felt resentful, ashamed, she couldn't even die?
No one paid attention to her, the person who saved her, after throwing her on the ground, he climbed to the window by himself, grabbed the railing with both hands, was lifting one leg to the window, looked back at her, his voice was bitter, "You don't want to die, I die, since you don't share the sky with me, I die, you can live in peace in this world, right? I exchange death for life, and this body in exchange for your forgiveness, you can let go, right? I used to be persistent, I thought that as long as I insisted with sincerity, I would touch your heart, and now it seems that I was wrong...... Now that fate is over, I don't force it anymore, Yanan, dumb aunt, no matter who you are, you are the girl I have always loved...... Take care, I'm gone......"
He really didn't look back, and his tall body really squeezed towards the window.
The dumb aunt is stupid, her mind is blank, she will exchange death for life, and my death will be exchanged for your life, as long as you are well, I will die with peace of mind......
No, you can't go, you can't leave me......
She suddenly went crazy, got up and threw herself at the window, grabbed his legs with both hands, hugged his feet, hugged him tightly, and cried hoarsely: "Can't...... Don't die, I don't want you to die...... I forgive you, can't I forgive them all...... I don't blame you anymore, I just have to love you well......"
His body went from hard to soft, sliding limply down the window, falling, and embracing her in turn.
She no longer refused, she opened her arms, her soft body was softly sunk in this wide and blazing embrace, the man's breath was in her nose, and her heart was full of this familiar and strange intoxicating breath. She grabbed this arm tightly with her little hands, touched this chest muscle, listened to this heartbeat, she raised her head, sent her fiery lips up, she burst into tears, choked up and said: "You fool, my death is my business, what is the matter with your death, what should I do if you really die......?"
The little fist kept pounding on his chest, and the voice murmured in his chest, and the whole person couldn't wait to melt into this warm and generous embrace.
He buried his head, indulging in the fiery and gentle breath.
The two bodies were tightly entwined, and time seemed to stand still. Only the bright moon high above her head moved silently.
For a long time, for a long time.
The dumb aunt first broke free from this gentle world, her soft little hands rubbed on his face, and her voice was as gentle as water, "You have lost weight, and you have suffered this time." ”
Bai Ziqi pinched the little hand with his big hand and kissed it on the side of his mouth, "There is a person like you who can toss, with the identity of a child daughter-in-law and grandmother of a large family, with a hopelessly sick child, plus a few little maids who have not grown up, running around the state border, how can people rest assured? ”
That being said, but the tone was full of pampering, and there was no complaint.
The dumb aunt smiled, "It's interesting, I turned the Liu family upside down, saved a ninth aunt and the child in the belly, and brought out a Miss Liu Si and a fourth aunt, let Orchid replace Miss Four to marry Master Hanlin, and took Liu Wan to this place, the most interesting thing is that by the way, I also saved a Miss Zhizhou, and also kidnapped 10,000 taels of silver from her father." also threw a doctor Liao who harmed the people into prison. ”
Bai Ziqi laughed and kissed her little face fiercely, "You, you're still so naughty, smart, arrogant, and kind......"
The dumb girl slapped the back of his hand, "And cunning, I found myself getting more and more cunning since I came here...... Hey, such a black-bellied woman, do you dare to ask for it? You won't dislike it, will you?"
Bai Ziqi's eyes were full of care, and he kissed again, "How can it be, it's all about living, I understand." Women in this society are far inferior to men, and you are only a poor child of a tenant family, and you have to live and live freely and dignified. It can only be fought for with wisdom. ”
The dumb aunt hugged him tightly, her eyes moist, "Thank you for understanding." But I still feel guilty in my heart, and there are a few people I am sorry for. For example, Liu Yan, that smart and beautiful girl, in order to break free from an unfair marriage, obeyed my arrangement and ate a temporarily sleeping pill, and strangely enough, she was poisoned to death. I still haven't figured it out, the pill is fine, how could she die, no matter what, I'm sorry for her. ”
Bai Ziqi was silent, and her big hand gently patted her back. I want to be comforted, but I don't know how to say it. Liu Yan is a common taboo topic for them, and he is afraid of mentioning her, and their relationship with them has finally become rigid again.
But the dumb aunt mentioned again: "Liu Yan is dead, she actually crossed over." What happened between her, and you, and why are you all here?"
Bai Ziqi was petrified instantly, and there was a feeling of suffocation that could not be changed.
They were silent.
But silence won't solve the problem.
Bai Ziqi finally made up her mind, what she wanted to face, she must face it bravely.
He confessed calmly: "I'm sorry for you, she said that her father could promote me, so I got closer to her, and when you saw me approaching her, you had an awkward relationship with me, and you said that you wanted to break up in two, and we broke up from then on." I know your temper, you won't be so ruthless, you're just talking angry. When you're gone, you'll come back to me. I was also really busy during that time, there was a major car accident in the city, and our orthopedic department was busy and crazy, rescuing day and night, so I didn't go to you. ”
The dumb aunt nodded, what he said was the truth, she knew it.
Bai Ziqi continued to explain: "One night, when I had just finished from surgery, she came to me in person and said that there was a dinner party that I had to go to, and there was her father and several important politicians at the dinner, and I went just in time to make friends with them. So I went. When I got to the place, I realized that there was no one else, just me and her. I wanted to go, but I was hungry, so I simply ate some. She ordered a beer and persuaded me to drink it. I thought about refusing, but as soon as I thought it was beer, I drank two glasses. The strange thing is that it was only two glasses, and it was beer, I was actually drunk, my eyes were in a mess, my heart was blank, I could feel myself drunk, and my body was soft into mud. I was supported by her step by step, and then I didn't know where I went, it seemed to be a very high place, there was a wind blowing, I thought of you in my heart, I wanted to go to you, she said help her push a bag downstairs, and she sent me home. She said it was a bag of garbage. I just pushed it. After the push, I was completely unconscious. ”
The dumb aunt listened quietly, but her hands clung to her clothes, and she hated to scratch them.
She was still shocked to hear him explain, although she had exonerated him in her heart, but hearing his voice that night, he was laughing with her, which became ironclad proof that she could not forgive him.
Tonight, when she finally heard him defend herself, she suddenly gave up all her attachments, as long as this person was still by her side, and she cared for herself all the way with such obsessive love, even at the expense of exchanging death for life, this kind of love was enough to offset all her faults......
"Say no more...... Don't say any more, okay...... I know it all, I don't care anymore...... Let's forget, forget those unpleasant pasts, from this moment on, from tonight, from the sky above this tower of forgetfulness, let's start again, pursue our own life, okay......"
"Okay, great, I'll listen to your ......"
They hugged each other again.
The night breeze is whispering, the moonlight is gentle, and the world is suddenly full of beauty.
And a long time passed.
She slowly pulled out of his arms, and there was a tremor in her voice, "As long as I think of her, she is in this world now, she has replaced the identity of the fourth lady of the Liu family, she is just alive and well, she is still so vicious, she sold the maids who served them with her own hands, and I can accept selling them to other places, you know, she sold other girls into that kind of place! She also sold the shop I opened with my own hands, she ...... I'm worried now that she will also go back to Liufu, and she will be Liu Wan's opponent in the future......"
Bai Ziqi sat up suddenly, "I'll solve this person." This woman with a bad heart, with her in the world for a day, my heart will not be able to be steady for a day. ”
"How do you solve it. The dumb aunt asked.
"My own way. Bai Ziqi said and broke open the dumb aunt's right hand, which was holding a small porcelain bottle in the palm of his hand. He took the vase away.
The dumb aunt hurriedly grabbed back: "What are you doing?"
Bai Ziqi was a little afraid: "You fool, you still left yourself a way back?"
The dumb aunt stopped grabbing it, and said faintly: "I'm afraid that if I fall down and don't die, it will be bad, and if I become a cripple, I might as well die directly." ”
"So you prepared poison for yourself?" Bai Ziqi sighed, "You, you're so stupid! In the future, such stupid things will never be allowed again, remember?"
The dumb girl nodded.
Bai Ziqi put the porcelain bottle deep in his sleeve, "There is someone who needs it." ”
Who is this person, the dumb aunt didn't ask much.
They watched the moon slanting to the west side by side for a while, and with their big hands holding small hands, they walked down the tower ladder down the tower of forgetfulness.
