Chapter 32: The Night

The remnant sun in the west was like a withered lamp, which was quickly extinguished. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the snow under the dark night, and Lu Zhendong's thoughts drifted to that snowy night・・・・・・

A year ago, when Lu Zhendong walked out of the dock with a grin, he heard a shocking news. He dropped the package in his hand, snatched the little servant's horse, and ran all the way to the Lu Mansion. The horse passed through the downtown area, disturbed the pedestrians on the street, and knocked over the roadside stalls. He couldn't hear the complaints of passers-by and the insults of the stall owners, and he had only one thought in his heart: to return to Lu Mansion as soon as possible.

When I got to the door, I looked at the white silk on the door and the white lanterns hanging on it. Lu Zhendong only felt that the world was spinning and his whole body was cold, he didn't know how he got off the horse, he didn't know how he walked into the mansion, and he didn't know who put the sackcloth filial piety clothes on his body.

When all the dust settled, Lu Zhendong followed Mrs. Rong to Xuzhou, and it was already winter. Even though there were a few more braziers in the room, he still felt cold, the kind of cold that came out of his heart. Lying on the bed, watching the winter when everything is withering outside, I want to be willful again. Secretly poured the medicine brought by the maid, thinking that he would simply lie down like this for the rest of his life, waiting for the day when the oil ran out and the lamp dried up.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, not only did his condition not worsen without taking medicine, but he not only had sensation in his legs, but also walked on the ground. At this time, what else is there that he doesn't understand? He stared at the bowl of black medicine on the table with gloomy eyes, and secretly gritted his teeth: Since someone doesn't want me to be good, I want to live well!

It's just that at this time, it is difficult to calm down, and the resentment in my heart cannot be vented. Lu Zhendong glanced at the dark night outside, didn't alarm anyone, and slipped out of the Rong Mansion.

The streets on the winter night were silent, and Lu Zhendong, who was a single shadow, felt unusually lonely. In the biting cold wind, he couldn't find a place to block the wind and keep him warm. I looked up at the starless night sky, but there was a picture of a family sitting together, drinking hot tea and chatting, enjoying themselves.

The sudden coldness on his face woke him up, and it turned out that there were snowflakes floating in the sky. Lu Zhendong raised his hand to wipe the snowflakes on his face, but he touched the tears on his face that were colder than the snowflakes, and he didn't know when, he was already in tears. He sniffed, wiped the tears and snow from his face, put on the mask he had always carried with him, and rushed into the snowstorm. He didn't know where he was going, he didn't know where he was going to stop, he just scurried on the streets and rooftops of Xuzhou.

I don't know how long he ran, but at last he felt a little tired, so he ran to a sparsely populated place, jumped onto a big thick tree, and found a comfortable position to lean on it, ignoring the snow on the branches. He took out the wine bag in his arms, took a few sips, and exhaled comfortably, and the gas turned into a white mist in the cold wind. Look up at the fluttering snowflakes and take a sip of wine from time to time.

I don't know how long later, a small figure suddenly appeared not far from the big tree. Lu Zhendong stared at the back with a confused look, and sighed in his heart: It's really careless, someone came and didn't find out.

Judging from the back, that person should be a girl. I saw her squat down and take out the offerings from the basket and put them on the ground, light the incense and candles, and then kneel on the snow, clasped her hands together, and said something in her mouth. Lu Zhendong didn't hear what to say, but he could feel that she was very sad and should have cried.

Yes, she was crying. Seeing her trembling back, Lu Zhendong confirmed his guess. Her heart-rending pain resonated with the grief in his heart, and he couldn't help but stare at her back.

"Smack!" A soft sound startled Lan Xin, and she turned her head to look at the source of the sound. When Lan Xin stood under the tree, Lu Zhendong found that his wine bag had fallen.

Lan Xin picked up the wine bag on the snow and subconsciously looked at the tree.

Sure enough, it's a girl. Lu Zhendong looked at the figure under the tree, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he couldn't say why there was a trace of joy in his heart. The girl under the tree was looking up at him, her palm-sized face still had tears on her face, and the tip of her nose was red, I don't know if it was because she was freezing or because she had cried just now, maybe it was both! Lu Zhendong thought to himself. The girl's eyes were very beautiful, although they were a little red and swollen, but their eyes were clear and bright, like a pool of autumn water.

Lan Xin was a little annoyed when he saw the people on the tree looking at him so wantonly, glared at him fiercely, and turned to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute. Seeing that Lan Xin was leaving, Lu Zhendong subconsciously shouted, and he didn't understand why he left her behind.

"What for?" Lan Xin asked, frowning. Thinking of the wine bag in his hand, he threw it into the tree, regardless of whether the person on the tree could catch it or not. He glanced nostalgically at the incense candle not far away, and turned to leave.

"Hey!" Lu Zhendong received the wine sac, and when he saw that Lan Xin was leaving, he jumped down from the tree in a panic.

Lan Xin looked at Lu Zhendong and took a few steps back vigilantly.

Seeing Lan Xin's movements, Lu Zhendong scratched his head and explained: "Girl, you ・・・・・・・" He looked stunned, stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted "Go!" Without saying anything, he dragged Lan Xin, and hid in another tree.

"Are you ・・・・・・" Lan Xin was just about to open his mouth to question, but his mouth was covered, and he could only stare at the mask in front of him angrily. I secretly regret that I was careless, and I should leave as soon as I heard the voice, unlike now when I get involved in right and wrong for no reason.

Lu Zhendong was glared at by Lan Xin, felt his heart fluttering, and wanted to smile and comfort her that she would be fine. But I felt that it was inappropriate to laugh at this time, so I restrained my smile, and it turned out to be a stupid person who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh like now.

Lan Xin's brows furrowed very high, and he secretly wondered: Could it be that he met a fool? But after thinking about it, he didn't feel it, although he couldn't see his appearance, but judging from his eyes, he should be a normal person.

There was a sound of clothes drifting by, and there was one more person in the original clearing. That man was about forty or fifty years old, not tall, with a broad waist and shoulders, and judging from his demeanor, Lan Xin felt that he should be a martial arts practitioner. He walked over to the incense candle, looked at it, and paced around in thought, thinking about something. It's a pity that the falling snowflakes cover up the traces on the ground, and there are no useful clues to be found for a while.

"Uncle Su, have you found the young master?" a little guy ran over and asked with a crying voice.

Su Bo shook his head worriedly, frowned and looked at the little guy who was crying with snot and tears, and sighed: "Don't cry, young master, he will be fine." ”

"Really・・・・・ really, Suber?" asked the little girl, crying.

Su Bo glanced at him impatiently, and he also ・・・・・・ his gaze, something in the snow caught his eye, and he looked around. He clenched his fists tightly and kept his gaze from looking at the tree, he was afraid that he would be unable to resist whipping him when he saw the people in the tree. pulled the little guy who was crying and hiccuping, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go back first, the young master will go back." ”

"But, young master, he'・・・・・・・ hey, Su Bo, you ・・・・・・ lightly" The little guy's shout was quickly blown away by the cold wind.
