Chapter 94: Red Dust Tribulation (4)
After Childe left, I looked at the empty room and was distracted for a while.
The eyes are a little dry and the nose is a little pantothenic. I rubbed my nose, touched my eyes again, and was about to lie down, when a faint white glow suddenly appeared in the room, and a white figure appeared in the center of the room. He just stood like that, looking down at me, the dragon-patterned jade pendant hanging from his waist vivid.
I was stunned for a while, looked at him for a while, and then slowly lowered my eyelids and said, "Prince......"
"Call me 'Zewu'. Ze Wu said, there was no change in his voice, but he could hear the undoubted majesty inside.
I'm not in the mood to entangle with him here with a title, since he wants me to call his name directly, then I'll just call it, anyway, I don't suffer.
With a decision in my heart, I said, "Zewu, you came to me, but is there something?"
"Something. He said this in a very crisp tone, but his gaze was still locked on me.
I let him star, found a comfortable position to lean on, then looked at him, and said, "What's the matter?"
Zewu walked slowly to me, and then sat down on the stool next to the bed, as if he wanted to have a long talk with me.
"I've heard everything you say. ”
As soon as Ze Wu opened his mouth, I was stunned by his straightforward words, and then my brows wrinkled involuntarily.
I'm not a stingy person, but I don't like to be overheard. After all, it's all about your own business, and although it doesn't matter much, you don't want to spread it.
"I know it's not a gentleman's doing, but I won't spread the word about it, the reason why I'm telling you this is because ......" Zewu looked at me and said word by word, "I want to make a deal with you." ”
"But I don't want to make this deal with you. Almost without hesitation, I refused, "I'm tired, so please do it." ”
I turned my back to him, closed my eyes, and my heart was on fire.
This guy is still a prince of the heavenly realm, and he doesn't even know the most basic etiquette. Let's not say that he overheard me talking to my son, and he didn't even apologize, but what did he say to make a deal with me?
I felt a smoky fire in my heart, and the more I thought about it, the more angry I became. I turned over and sat up, looked at the person next to the bed and shouted angrily: "Why don't you leave? I said that I won't make a deal with you, and I won't do anything with you! If you don't leave, I'll drive people out!"
After these words, I looked at Zewu and immediately regretted it, and I wanted to slap myself to death. No matter how unhappy I am, no matter how angry I am, I shouldn't yell at him, although he asked me to call him by his name, but his noble status as the prince of the heavenly realm is there, if he is unhappy and returns to heaven to open a small stove for me or something, then I will be miserable.
Thinking like this, my momentum suddenly weakened, and I watched him twist the quilt and said cautiously: "That...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. You...... You'd better go, I'm not going to make a deal with you......" At the end of the words, his voice became smaller and smaller, his head lowered and lowered, and he didn't even have the courage to look at him, but he prayed in his heart: Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry!
Perhaps my prayers had taken effect, and it was a long time before I heard a sudden chuckle. I was stunned, and subconsciously looked up, only to see Zewu looking at me, his deep eyes full of smiles.
Me: "......???"
As if sensing my question, Ze Wu smiled at the corner of his mouth slightly, and said, "You don't have to flatter me so much, what you just said is right, but you refused without listening to the content of my deal with you, in this way, are you sure you won't regret it?"
I looked at Zewu as if he was joking, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Then you can say it." "Anyway, I won't suffer if I hear it, but I can still refuse after listening to it. I silently added from the bottom of my heart.
Seeing that I was relieved, Ze Wu smiled confidently: "This deal is very simple, don't you want to know if you and your son-in-law knew each other before, I know." As long as you promise me one thing, I will tell you. ”
I rubbed my chin and looked at him suspiciously.
The bargaining chips he said about this deal did make my heart a little excited, and although Childe denied my speculation, I felt that the reason for the matter was certainly not as simple as he said. But Zewu said that he knew if I knew Childe before, how did he know?
As if knowing what I was thinking, Ze Wu showed a meaningful smile: "I know you definitely don't believe what I said, but if he doesn't tell you about your relationship with him, in this world, even if you turn over the Six Realms, I am afraid that there will be no more than five people who can tell you the truth carefully and originally." He reached out and rubbed the jade pendant engraved with the dragon pattern, his fingers white and slender, "You can think about it, but please be cautious." After all, if you miss this village, you won't have this store. ”
I frowned, gritted my teeth secretly, and felt that this person was so disgusting! I threw such a heavy chip out at once, and I really wanted to know. Forget it, the deal is the deal, I'm still afraid that he won't succeed? I don't believe that he can eat me in the end!
"I agree. I replied angrily, raising my eyes and glancing at him, "Say, what do you want me to do? As long as it is not beyond my bottom line and within my ability, it is easy to say." ”
Zewu smiled, his smile was warm, and it looked much more pleasing to the eye than Childe's smile that always had a hint of ridicule: "Don't worry, what I ask for is definitely within your ability." He took out something from his wide sleeve and handed it to me, "I know that your magic weapon Xuanji can look at the past and build dreams." So today, I want you to see what kind of past is behind this thing. ”
Curious, I took the thing, leaned in front of me to take a look, and found that it was actually a jade pendant. The jade pendant is carved from white warm jade, and there is a faint heat at the beginning. The jade body is round, and a laurel tree is carved on it, and under the laurel tree, lies a lifelike rabbit. A pale cyan tassel hangs down quietly, and a warm bead that is also warm jade is inlaid on it, which looks very beautiful.
"Tsk, good thing. I sighed, and after hearing this, Zewu smiled, but didn't say anything.
I rubbed the jade body and found that there were a few uneven notches on the back. I let out a puzzled "huh", turned the jade pendant over and looked at it, and found that there were words engraved on the back.
The words are small characters, one stroke at a time, and the carving is very upright. The word is engraved with a total of four lines, each line of five characters, and the horizontal reading is - a flower and a world, and a leaf Bodhi. A song and a sigh, a lifetime for one person.
The meaning of this poem...... It looks like a token of love between Qing people.
I raised the jade pendant in my hand, looked at Zewu, and raised my eyebrows: "This thing is yours?"
Zewu nodded without concealment.
I looked at him and suddenly looked meaningful: "Then who gave it to you?"
I looked at him with a little joy in my heart.
Gossip, gossip of the prince of the heavenly realm! If such heavyweight gossip spreads, tsk tsk, a lifetime of wisdom will be ruined!
didn't care about my little movements, Zewu shook his head very calmly: "I don't know." Seeing my look of surprise, he continued, "I came to you to find out where this thing came from and why it came to me. ”
I tossed what I was holding, then caught it, and asked, as if unintentionally, "Then why don't you go to Childe?"
Zewu shook his head with a wry smile a little helplessly: "He won't help me." ”
I caught the jade pendant accurately and asked with great interest, "Why?"
He shook his head again, as if he wasn't ready to tell me why. I snorted disdainfully, looked at the jade pendant in my hand, and said, "Okay, I know, I'll help you." But...... When will it start?"
"The sooner the better. Ze Wu was concise and to the point.
I was a little unhappy: "I've just woken up, and I haven't even recovered my energy." ”
Zewu followed my words mercilessly: "You have been sleeping for three days, even if you lack more energy, it should have been better a long time ago." ”
I looked at him in amazement: "Three days?I slept for three days?so long?!"
Zewu nodded calmly.
I had a headache and held my head up, I only had one dream, how did I sleep for three days? In that case, let's get started. ”
Zewu nodded again and made a "please" gesture.
I took a deep breath and asked him to sit aside, then flipped my right hand, and with a little force, I sent Xuanji into the air. I looked at the jade pendant on my left hand, and pinched a trick with my right hand, and the jade pendant flew up slowly, and after spinning around Xuanji a few times, Xuanji suddenly burst out with a strong white glow. The white rays spread out like water streaks, and then slowly retracted, gradually merging into a curtain of light in mid-air.
The jade pendant rotated around the light curtain, and the scene in the light curtain gradually became clear. The first thing that catches your eye is the flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River shrouded in smoke and rain.
On the bluestone paved street, a man holding a plain oil-paper umbrella walked slowly along the street, the figure under the umbrella was slender, and the water-colored skirt corners were slightly wet by the rain, showing a vague water mark.
She lowered her head slightly, held an umbrella in one hand, gently lifted the hem of her skirt with the other, and had a few newly picked camellia hairpins on her long hair, which looked very elegant.
A few children ran over with umbrellas and laughing, their feet in the puddle, and there was a splash. There were a few mud spots splashed on the corners of the skirt, and Yexi's footsteps paused, and her beautiful brows wrinkled slightly.
A white handkerchief was handed to her at this time, the hand holding the white handkerchief was white and slender, the bones were distinct, and the corner of the handkerchief was embroidered with a light cyan silk thread with a correct "Qing" character.
Yexi was stunned, and then looked up consciously, only to see the person standing in front of him, also holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand. His long hair was lightly tied, and he was dressed in a white robe, which was still clean and clean even on such a day.
When the man saw her looking at him, a slight smile spread on his handsome and clear face: "Girl, don't you wipe it?" he said, his voice was clear, with a clear and warm voice that belongs to Jiangnan.
Seeing him speak, Yexi didn't say much, reached out to take the handkerchief, and said "thank you".
The man withdrew his hand, and there was still a warm smile on the corner of his mouth: "The child loves to play and accidentally stained the girl's skirt, please bear with me." ”
Yexi pinched the handkerchief, gently lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes were thick and long, it should be a soft Jiangnan female voice, but her voice sounded with a hint of alienated coldness: "It's okay." ”
The man was about to say something, but a boy who had just run over ran to him at this time, grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "Master, Master, you hurry up!
The man who was pulled by Xiao Tong's sleeve smiled a little, raised his hand and rubbed his head: "Got it, you go first, I'll come in a while." ”
"Oh well. The little boy let go of his sleeve, pouted in response, ran two steps with the umbrella, and looked back at him as if he was not worried, "Master, you must hurry!"
"Got it!" the man replied with a somewhat helpless smile. After getting the answer, the child didn't bother too much, and ran away with an umbrella and a little short leg.
Seeing the little boy running away, the man looked at her again, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little unreasonable: "In the lower Qing rule, the Qing rule of "when the water is clear, there is no fish" is a master of Huitong Academy. Can you please tell the girl that Fang Ming has something to do today, and when she is free another day, she will definitely come to apologize. ”
"No need. Yexi said softly, "I don't blame them. With that, she lifted her feet and walked on.
As if he didn't expect her to refuse so quickly, Qing Ze was stunned, turned to look at her back, and still didn't give up: "Then can you ask the girl to tell Fang's name, and there is a fate to meet." ”
Yexi's steps paused, but he didn't turn around, frowned and thought about it, as if he thought it was okay to tell the name, so he said, "Yexi." After saying that, he didn't stop and continued to walk forward.
Qing Ze looked at her back and smiled: "Night and evening......" He said this, his voice was soft, slow and long, as if he was chewing carefully.
"It turned out to be a night and a night......"
It took him a long time before he said so softly, and a trace of amazement flashed in his eyes. Then he looked at the street shrouded in smoke and rain, shook his head with a smile, and turned around and walked in the direction that the boy had run before.
In the smoke and rain, a water-colored skirt and cedar, a snow-white robe, each holding an oil-paper umbrella, walked slowly in different directions.
