Chapter 11: Broken Clouds and Remnant Rain Are Boring (2)
Chu Yunxi returned to the banquet but found that everyone was already drunk, Lin Yueyuan held the wine bowl, his cheeks were red, and he praised loudly: "Good wine, good wine." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info "Midori and Biyin were holding her up, her hands fluttering wildly, and she hit Biyin in the face with a palm. Bi Yin shook her arm angrily, scolding and stomping away, Lu Yan shouted at her and ignored her, seeing that the two were going to quarrel again, Qing Chun hurriedly took Lin Yueyuan's other arm, and the two of them worked together to put her into the house.
Lin Risheng and Yang Miao were also drunk and unconscious, one leaned on his back on the chair, and the other leaned over the table. Chu Yunxi smiled and began to clean up the messy cups and bowls on the table. Suddenly, a person grabbed her hand vigorously from behind, she turned back in horror, a strong smell of alcohol hit her face, she covered her mouth and nose, and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle, you are drunk." ”
Bai Biao's eyes were confused, his body swayed, and he suddenly said in a panic: "I'm dreaming, you are in my dream again, why can I only see you in my dream for so many years?" He gasped for air in frustration and pain, holding his head in his hands and scratching at his hair so hard that his nails were covered with blood.
Chu Yunxi was shocked to stop it, but he brushed her hand away and said angrily: "What are you still doing with me, we have already broken off, you go!" ”
Chu Yunxi was so frightened by his ruthless roar and crazy look that he cried, but Bai Biao squatted down, covered his face with his hands, and cried bitterly.
Her grief was like a flood that broke the embankment, and she broke her strong spirit, and she crouched beside her uncle, hugged him and wept with him. In her heart, Bai Biao has always been like a god who is not bound by the world, not bound by etiquette, he has a full stomach of talent, has extraordinary martial arts, he seems to be omnipotent, seems to be independent, but today he is like a child in front of her howling and crying, let her know that he is a mortal after all, and he has a love that he can't keep, and he also has a fate that can't be resisted.
The four of them were busy until the second half of the night before they fell asleep, and the three girls who had been tired for a long time all fell asleep, but Chu Yunxi, whose eyes were slightly swollen, lost her sleepiness in her wild thoughts, she really regretted why she didn't get drunk before going to bed, so she didn't have to suffer from sorrow here.
After a long night, when I opened my eyes again, the sun was already shining, and noon was approaching.
Chu Yunxi's eyes were sore, she covered her eyes and sat up, in a daze. From time to time, there was a "cooing" sound wafting in the clean and comfortable air.
Fingers across the eyes, the gap scattered by the window light from the window, the eyes are white, for a long time the images in front of her are colorful, green, dizzy, dizzy, the line of sight slowly lengthened, the focus is aligned, fixed on a piece of white feathers, that is the feathers of birds, to be exact, the feathers of pigeons.
Lin Yueyuan sat on the windowsill sideways, one foot on the window frame, the other foot drooped by the window, her body blocked most of the window, and the sun cast a lot of gold silk embroidery on her, making her brilliant. But she was idle, snuggling leisurely with a white and flawless pigeon, which was jumping around the window, and her round black eyes looked curiously at the world around her.
Lin Yueyuan didn't let go of any slight sound, her posture remained unchanged, and she teased the pigeon leisurely, causing the pigeon to flap its wings frequently. Her eyes were fixed on the pigeon, but her voice was directed towards Chu Yunxi: "Wake up." ”
Chu Yunxi responded softly, leaned over to put on his shoes, walked to the windowsill, and gently held the white feather of the pigeon.
Lin Yueyuan smiled at her and said, "Your uncle, he left again this morning." ”
Chu Yunxi withdrew his hand and stood in a trance.
Lin Yueyuan jumped off the windowsill, helped her sit down, and comforted: "He knows that you will be sad." So let me tell you that he has left you a gift. As soon as she whistled, the dove flew to the table in front of them, and plunged its head under its wings to comb its feathers.
Chu Yunxi looked at the cuteness of the white pigeon, and his expression was a lot more relaxed. Lin Yueyuan threw another corn kernel to the pigeon, and the pigeon opened its mouth to catch it, making the corners of Chu Yunxi's mouth rise.
Lin Yueyuan said with a smile: "He asked me to tell you that he was afraid of parting sadly, so he said goodbye." You take care of your body and take care of Aunt Buckwheat. The pigeon is a gift for you, he passed by Chang'an last time and met your second sister. Your second sister misses you very much and brings you something. Your uncle knows that you are a sister, and has specially trained a few white pigeons for your correspondence. Lin Yueyuan took a black package from the chair to the table and pushed it in front of her.
Chu Yunxi unwrapped the burden, revealing two white porcelain jars inside, and when he lifted the lid, there was a whole jar of yellow and clear plum candy. She took one in her mouth, and the taste was long and distant, like a world away. I don't know if the plum candy has become sour or her heart is sad, tears are falling like snow, mixed with the fresh fragrance of grass, basking in the sun, immediately showing faded tears, like an uncolored and light landscape painting, melancholy and sad.
Lin Yueyuan copied her right hand, held the plush and soft body of the pigeon, and gently stroked the feathers of the pigeon with her left hand.
Lin Yueyuan turned over the pigeon's body, the pigeon's hairy belly was exposed, and the two little red claws curled up in the white fluff. The head and neck of the pigeon twisted stiffly, and the pitiful appearance of a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Lin Yueyuan straightened the pigeon's right leg, and a small emerald green bamboo tube was tied to it, Lin Yueyuan took off the bamboo tube, raised his hand, and the pigeon flew away as if fleeing for his life.
Lin Yueyuan inserted the bamboo tube into Chu Yunxi's hand, rubbed his hands and asked, "Take a look, what did your second sister write?" ”
Although Lin Yueyuan is informal on weekdays, he does things in a measured manner, although the two are like sisters, they respect Chu Yunxi's secrets very much.
Chu Yunxi opened the small bamboo tube, and a small paper roll rolled out of the bamboo tube, unfolded it and looked at it, which read: "Don't read it, I wish Qing good health and all the best." The signature is "Plum Candy" She smiled indifferently and showed the note to Lin Yueyuan.
Lin Yueyuan only glanced at it, and then commented professionally: "Your second sister's words are more than delicate, lack of strength, soft and weak, useless, embroidered pillows." ”
Chu Yunxi turned around and knocked her forehead, and said with a smile: "You think that every woman's strength is as big as yours and can kill a tiger." ”
Lin Yueyuan leaned over and sat down on the chair with a big grin, cocked Erlang's legs, and said solemnly: "I don't dare to say that I killed the tiger, but Miss Ben is still okay if I kill someone." As soon as the cowhide was blown, Miss Lin let out an earth-shattering sneeze.
Time flies, a year has passed, heavy snow covers the mountains, and it is difficult to move an inch.
This winter was surprisingly cold, and everyone changed into thick leather jackets early to resist the cold.
In the evening, Chu Yunxi and Lin Yueyuan sat around the fire and chatted, Lin Yueyuan tightened the collar of the leather jacket on his body, and stretched out his hands beside the fire. Chu Yunxi shivered coldly. Lin Yueyuan simply reached out and hugged her shoulder. Chu Yunxi leaned on her shoulder. The red fire shone on the faces of the two, the warm heat penetrated into the skin, and Lin Yueyuan's arms were also very warm like his mother, and Chu Yunxi rarely felt warm at that moment.
Lin Yueyuan muttered dissatisfiedly: "What the hell is this, it's so strange, Shunan has never been cold like this, evil sect." ”
Chu Yunxi joked: "Probably Shunan also has a Dou E." ”
I didn't expect a joke to become a prophecy.
This "Dou E" is from Jiangzhou, and it is Yang Miao, whose fate has taken a sharp turn.
But a year, when the two saw Yang Miao again, he was no longer the ambitious and high-spirited Pianpiao Yuanlang, but a living dead whose whole body was wrapped in bandages like a dead corpse.
Yang Miao was snatched back from the ghost gate by Bai Biao, he was stabbed seven times, the knife was to the bone, the most serious knife was in the leg, a steel knife pierced Yang Miao's calf. The state is miserable and miserable.
Bai Biao went to the doctor along the road to treat him, and finally saved his life. After being sent back to Shunan, Lin Risheng took over the burden of treating him, but Bai Biao knew that even if his external injuries could be healed, how could the pain in his heart be healed?
Chu Yunxi was already crying so much that her eyes couldn't see, she couldn't accept that another of her relatives had met with bad luck, she still remembered that going to Yang Miao and Liu Yingwei's wedding a year ago made her once again believe that people who love each other can still be white, but the wheel of fate did not let go of this happy couple after all, but she didn't expect their love to not even spend a winter.
Three days later, Yang Miao woke up.
Yang Miao, who woke up, her face was like gold paper, her cheeks were like deflated balls, and the bones on her body broke through the layers of muscles, and various terrifying shapes protruded against a thin layer of skin.
Chu Yunxi looked at him who was skinny, and tears poured down like heavy rain.
His eyes were like black holes with extinguished light, filled with fear and despair.
When Bai Yu's face appeared in his sight, his eyes widened, and he went crazy in an instant, twitching his uncontrollable body. His hoarse voice could not utter clear words, only a roar that did not know what to do.
Bai Biao looked at his appearance now that he didn't recognize ghosts, his heart was distressed and resentful, and he choked up: "I warned you earlier, but you just didn't listen to me." In the end, I have taught you for so many years, and I have taught you such a foolish apprentice. ”
Yang Miao's eyes were full of bloodshots, and his hands and feet were moving. Lin Risheng pointed out his acupoint, and complained anxiously: "Uncle Bai, don't stimulate him, he has no will to survive." If you talk about him like that, he will not live when he hears it. ”
Bai Biao shook his sleeves and said hatefully: "If he really becomes a cripple, it is better to die now." ”
Chu Yunxi shrank to the side and trembled, fear, fear, confusion, torture hit again and again, she only felt that her body was about to explode, and the pain that had been suppressed for a long time knocked her to the ground, she slipped from the chair and wept: "Uncle, what the hell is going on?" The eldest brother was released to Jiangzhou last year, and he had quite a lot of political achievements in the local area, he and his sister-in-law were childhood sweethearts, a match made in heaven, it should be the best time, how could he suddenly suffer such a catastrophe, not only his family was imprisoned, but even he was so seriously injured? She tugged at Bai Xiao's sleeve and cried loudly, her body convulsing.
Lin Risheng couldn't help crying when he saw Yang Miao so miserable. Lin Yueyuan, who was decocting medicine in the kitchen, also heard Chu Yunxi's cry in the house from a few rooms, and threw the medicine jar to Lu Yan in shock, and also rushed over, sat beside her, hugged her trembling back, and accompanied her to tears.
Bai Biao looked at her face, and he couldn't restrain the fire of burning his heart, and he thought that her surname was Chu, which added fuel to the fire. He suddenly laughed dryly twice, and said coldly: "You still ask me, you should ask your good father." ”
Chu Yunxi was like ice, and he raised his teary eyes and stared at him in disbelief.
Bai Biao was a little unbearable, but he still said cruelly: "I should congratulate you, your father has finally regained the glory of the Chu clan back then, and the position of prime minister above ten thousand people under one person that the Chu clan has been seeking for generations has finally fallen into his hands." Over the years, he has been deliberate, endured humiliation and survival, and has finally enabled your Chu clan to revive the majesty of the first family in Jinling. He laughed out loud and said with a hideous face, "But what have you done to your father since he became prime minister?" Taking advantage of the weakness of the Holy Dragon's body and inability to manage the court situation, he formed a party for personal gain, embezzled and accepted bribes, and fought against the same party. However, in just a few years, this world is muddy and dirty like stagnant water, everyone in the court and China is in danger, framing each other, in order to protect themselves, several scholars in Luoyang raided the house, the dead died, and the defeated were defeated. Your eldest brother is just an inconspicuous stumbling block on the road to the Prime Minister's prosperity, an insignificant ant he pinched to death. ”
As if a bunch of artillery pieces were falling, Chu Yunxi only felt that the time was deafening, the heavens and the earth were spinning, the universe was overturned, and the world was destroyed. Her body was paralyzed, and she fell on Lin Yueyuan's body, muttering to herself, as if she had been evil, and shook her head vigorously and repeated: "This is not true. ”
The Lin brothers and sisters were also shocked, dumbfounded, and at a loss.
Bai Biao's heart was like a knife, but he continued to say ruthlessly: "Your senior brother made outstanding achievements during his tenure in Jiangzhou, and he was soon transferred to Jiangzhou Assassin History. Before the flood in Jiangzhou three months ago, the displaced people were everywhere, and the court allocated two silver taels for disaster relief, and some people around him hinted that he should be filial to the above. He paid attention and found out some local bribes, the number of which was outrageous. And your father is to blame. Your eldest brother informed Sima Wang Shen of Jiangzhou, who was originally a fellow jinshi with him, and he didn't know that he had met this person to impeach the prime minister. This Wang Shen is insidious and cunning, he promised on the surface that he was secretly harboring evil intentions, and when the Qin sent him, he took a bite back, and even lied that your eldest brother had embezzled the silver for disaster relief. The people who don't know the truth are angry, and they are afraid of local chaos, so they put your brother's family in prison in order to appease the people. If you want to come to the Holy Lord to criticize the Yang family's beheading punishment, your father has made a lot of contributions. I tried my best to replace your half-dead brother, and as for your sister-in-law, she had already committed suicide due to the humiliation of the jailer. ”
Chu Yunxi's eyes were full of blood, there was a loud bang in her brain, her nerves completely collapsed, and she suddenly laughed like crazy: "Yes, how can I not believe this bloody fact in front of me?" My father was such a ruthless devil! She was furious, spit out a mouthful of blood, and poured it on Lin Yueyuan.
Bai Fu's anger was finally annihilated in the affection for his niece, and he picked up the unconscious Chu Yunxi before he regained his senses and regretted his ruthlessness.
The night was late.
Lin Yueyuan lifted his quilt and lay down beside Chu Yunxi. The white curtains fluttered all around, gloomy and gloomy like a mourning hall, and white snowflakes fell in the courtyard one after another, sometimes falling thickly, with a muffled sound. The warm current under her body was surging like a wave, but it couldn't reach Chu Yunxi's heart, she lay upright, her hands and feet were stiff, and she didn't feel anything at all, like a dead body in the mourning hall.
Lin Yueyuan turned her head to listen to the snow, and happened to catch a glimpse of her side face, her indifferent silhouette melted into the boundless darkness like a dyed landscape painting, and what shimmered in the darkness was a teardrop hanging in the corner of her eye.
