Chapter 69: Superb art is as rare as the king

Lan Xi, Lan Xi......

He seemed to have a fever, he was so sick that he was groggy, and when he closed his eyes, he seemed to sink into a sea of lights, swaying, and countless magnified candle flames were just like the restaurant of that year......

At the age of twenty, he went up to the second floor of the Luoyang Restaurant, even if he was already drunk with alcohol, he was still a little nervous in his heart, watching her maid open the door of the private room, and all of them retreated outside silently.

Then the door shut.

He looked up, and with some panicked eyes, he roamed the room, and saw her, sitting by the stove with her wolf fur in her arms......

Gu Qingxuan stepped forward and gave a salute: "Xiaosheng Gu Qingxuan has seen Miss Shen, thank you Miss Shen for the wine." ”

"No need to be polite, Gu Gongzi sit. She didn't look at him, only stroked the wolf's fur.

At this moment, she was a little surprised by her easy-goingness, she was the one who was the most polite in the rich family, what was wrong at this time? She was not at all restrained in front of this stranger, but she wanted to show her most comfortable appearance, as long as she was in front of him......

He sat down across from her, looked at the tea set and a pot of fragrant tea in front of her, and asked casually, "Doesn't Miss come to the restaurant to drink?"

She said: "I didn't want to come to this restaurant, but I heard that there was a wolf fur when I was sheltering from the wind at the door, so I came in to have a look." ”

"Then you already have the wolf's fur, why don't you leave?" he relaxed, full of anticipation and curiosity.

"Then why did you stay until now?" she didn't fear.

He smiled, "Because I want to wait for Miss to come downstairs and take another look at Miss." ”

"Just one look," she asked, "Is it okay to do so?"

He nodded: "Yes, one glance is enough." ”

"So you've seen it several times now, what should you do? Is it excessive?" she joked.

He sat upright and nodded again: "Okay, I close my eyes and don't look at it." Anyway, I've already made a note of what the young lady looks like. ”

He really closed his eyes, and his more serious appearance made her laugh: "You close your eyes like this, how can you play chess with me?"

He laughed, "Actually, I don't know how to play chess. ”

"Then why did you say it would?"

"Because I want to go upstairs," he said. ”

She was silent for a moment, and also said frankly: "Actually, there is no chessboard in this private room at all......

"Then why did the young lady invite me to play chess?"

Her cheeks were slightly red, "I don't know, maybe I just want you to go upstairs......"

He opened his eyes.

No longer asking, no longer exploring the motives, it seems to have understood that he and she are both clear. He looked at her as if he was looking at a piece of jade that had been treasured for a long time, strange and alienated, as if he had never known such a person, as if she was a surprise destined to appear in his life.

"I ...... I invited Childe upstairs because I really wanted to play chess with Childe......" She became distracted in his gaze, and for some reason, she began to be a little afraid, she was afraid of all the attractiveness of this person, and she was afraid that she would fall into a mind that she could not imagine.

He didn't intend to look away a little: "How can you play chess without a chess board?"

She picked up a large piece of paper next to her, spread it on the table between the two, dipped a pen in ink, and handed it to him: "How about drawing a chessboard game on the paper?"

He took the pen and nodded: "Xiaosheng is not good, please ask the young lady to teach." ”

Some people are destined to meet, otherwise how can this life be fulfilled?

On a cold night in Luoyang City, with sleepless lights, the wind was cold outside, and he sat opposite her in front of the stove, drawing paper.

They played many rounds and drew many sheets of paper, which were piled up haphazardly on the edge of the desk, and the ink on them dried over time.

Deeper, even if she forgot her form, it was difficult to let herself go anymore, and she was ready to leave and return to her home in the high-walled courtyard.

She didn't call the maid in, but put on a heavy wolf coat herself.

He stooped down and picked up the thick pile of checkered paper on the ground, and held it in his arms, sticking to the thin cloth clothes.

"What do you want all this waste paper for?" she asked.

He replied: "You have taken away all my most valuable things, and I can only keep them, and I will have a thought in the days when I can't see you in the future......

Her heart moved, and she lost her mind: "What valuable things did I take from you?"

He pointed to the wolf fur on her body, and then pointed to himself, and his somewhat intoxicated eyes suddenly became very sad, "My only wolf fur is big...... Also, my heart. ”

She stood still, her whole body as if she had died in the sad eyes of his words.

The two looked at each other silently, he approached her, walked to her close range, reached out and stroked the wolf fur on her body: "Do you know where this wolf skin came from?"

She shook her head, but her body still couldn't move, and she watched him get closer and closer, and attached it to her ear, saying, "When I went to the mountains to hunt, I hunted." I didn't expect it, did I, a weak scholar, still hunt...... Do you know how dangerous it was at that time? I hit a hare, and the wolf was on me...... It pounced on me from behind......"

With his words, her heart tightened, "And then?"

His body leaned forward again, an inch closer greedily, "I was thrown to the ground by it, and its bloody jaws bit down on me...... I was terrified, and I could see every one of its teeth......"

His head downward, the hot breath he exhaled hit her neck: "At that time, I could imagine how I would be torn to pieces by it, and I would be eaten and wiped out by it, and there would be no bones ......left."

He could see clearly that on her fair neck, the blood vessels were surging under the soft little fluff, and every inch of skin meridians were covered with a layer of attractive color, and then ......

He opened his mouth and bit down.

Instead of touching her delicate skin with his teeth, he took his lips in his mouth, and the tip of his tongue twitched and turned, and he could feel her whole body vibrate violently.

She became frightened and reached out to push him.

He didn't budge, one hand caressed her back, and the other hand spilled the paper in his arms into the air, and the white paper flew all over the room, circling around them......

He transcribed his hand, hugged her completely into his arms, and caressed her side face against his chest: "You listen, listen to my heart, at that time, my heartbeat was so fast and so panicked, I believe that I will die......"

"But I didn't compromise, when the wolf pounced on me, I choked his neck, I didn't expect that I would have such strength, tightly locked its neck, pulled his blood basin open, and then reflexively overwhelmed it, picked up a stone and smashed its head, its blood burst into my face, I looked directly into its eyes, showing a more ferocious gaze than it, I not only want to kill it, but also to deter it, let it see itself surrendered, destroyed......"

His voice quickened, and he told his thrilling story with a little excitement, hugging her tighter and tighter, as if there was a force in his body that could pierce people and burst out of everything......

"Have you ever heard a wolf howl? It was a very proud and wild cry, and even when it died, it whimpered with the fierceness of a wolf, and it was like not willing to die, and it was ...... soul."

The tip of his tongue swirled over her earlobe, "Do you know why the fur on this wolf's skin is so soft?"

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked it up, pressed it down, and gently rubbed her body through the wolf's fur: "Because, when the wolf was not completely dead, I stabbed it in the chest with a knife and ripped off its whole skin alive, and it was still whimpering, but the voice was no longer proud......

Her wheezing grew stronger, her body fluttered and trembled more and more, giving him the illusion of complete fall, and he couldn't help but get triol, and closed his eyes to kiss her lips.

However, the moment he lowered his head, she tiptoed, bit down on his neck, and bit hard, leaving dark tooth marks and oozing blood......

A sudden pain spread throughout his body, but he felt even more relieved.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was in pain, she pushed him away, but without the shyness and timidity of ordinary women in this situation, straightened out her clothes, smoothed the wolf fur, opposed him, raised her head slightly, shook her sleeves and smiled: "Does it hurt? You can bring down the wolf, but you can't bring me down." ”

He stroked the faintly painful tooth marks on his strength, as if he was greedy, and smiled at her: "Then you are willing to be a wolf tamer?"

"Wolf taming? sounds interesting, how?"

"Marry me. ”

She laughed, pretended to be contemptuous, and said: "Marry you? Do you know who I am? The eldest lady of the Shen family, the richest man in Luoyang, did not even agree to the world-famous son of the Hong family, and you are a poor scholar, and you have exchanged the only cold weather for wine money, why should I marry you?"

He said: "Because I can give you what they can't give, whether it is the son of the Hong family or the young master of another family, they can't make you a wolf tamer, but I can, go to the future with me, what you get is not only glory and wealth, but also a lifetime of thrilling." ”

"You have everything, but what have you ever created with your own hands? Miss Shen, how about being stable and happy in the first half of your life, and accompanying me in the second half of your life to pursue power in the world?"

She was noncommittal, smiled indifferently, looked at the person in front of her, stepped over a white paper full of chess pieces, walked in front of him, and said, "Play another game with me, let's make a bet." ”

He asked, "Bet on what?"

She said, "Bet for a lifetime." ”

He smiled and bowed, "Okay." ”

In the last game, he won, half a game.

"You lost one night, but you won the last game......"

"It's not that I win, it's that Miss wants to lose. ”

There are many things that are predestined from the moment we meet.

She put down her pen and looked at the chess game on paper: "Actually, you can play chess, and you are very good, right?"

He nodded: "Three-year-old chess, seven-year-old good, no more defeat, but tonight only won this half." ”

"You're lying to me?"

He took her hand and put it in his heart: "In this life and this life, Gu will only deceive the world, and will not deceive Qing again." ”

……

"Lan Xi ......"

He whispered in his dream, woke up cold, stretched out his hand, but there was nothing beside him, he hadn't gotten used to not having her for so long.

There was the wolf fur hanging next to the couch.

The wolf fur that made them bond twenty-four years ago, they used it to protect themselves from the cold on the way to Chang'an, and a wolf fur wrapped them together, and they also hesitated to use it in exchange for their daughter's medicine money in extremely poor days......

He got up from the couch with his floating body, the sky was dark outside, and the sky was not yet dawning.

After being an official for so many years, he was used to waking up at this hour, and often Shen Lanxi got up earlier than him, washed and prepared official clothes for him, and talked with him about business or family affairs during breakfast.

Today is the end of the year, and on this day in the past, Shen Lanxi would get up earlier to take care of the food and clothing for the children......

Gu Qingxuan didn't wear an outer coat, only put on a wolf fur, went out of the door, and went to the backyard.

He went to the utility room and found a hoe, which was now too heavy for him, but he carried it anyway, and walked to a locust tree in the front yard, and in the cold wind, his eyes drooped slightly, and he dug one by one......

From the depths of the digging to the dawn, he grew weaker and weaker, and his body was drowsy, and at last he was completely unconscious, and fell forward, unconscious in the shallow pit of earth he had dug......

After dawn, Uncle Tang, who got up early to do his work, found him and hurriedly called for help, and his exclamation called out Gu Qingning, who was at home.

But he didn't call Gu Qinghuan, he didn't return last night.

Gu Qingning hurriedly helped Gu Qingxuan out of the pit with Uncle Tang Fusu, sent him back to the bedroom, and Fusu brought hot water to clean him, and Uncle Tang hurriedly went to ask for a doctor.

After taking care of him, Gu Qingning went out of the house, went to look under the locust tree where he fainted, and was curious, so he picked up the hoe and continued to dig the pit that Gu Qingxuan dug, digging deeper and deeper, and gradually saw the planks buried under the soil, as if it was a box.

After digging the hole, she pried open the plank, and saw that the box contained a jar of tightly sealed old wine.

Uncle Tang called the doctor, and when he came back and saw her kneeling on the ground and stirring up the soil, he hurriedly said, "How did you dig this up? Isn't this time coming? Miss, let's fill it up first?"

Gu Qingning asked, "What is this?"

Tang Bo was a little surprised: "This is my daughter Hong." ”

"How could Miss not know? In the first year of your birth, Miss, the adult had just entered the office, and on the second day of the opening of the mansion, he and his wife buried ninety-nine jars of fine wine here, saying that they would dig it out for Miss to make wedding wine when Miss got married......
