Chapter 30: Nightmare
Mu Qing was not very worried about the county exam, and the dividends from the book were also in his hands, so he no longer had to worry about money, and his life gradually got on the right track.
Occasionally, I would go to Qian's place, but I still couldn't see the figure of the Qian master, but Qian Shi's attitude towards him was much better than before, and he occasionally beckoned them to stay for dinner. Mu Qing didn't push back, and usually brought some things over, but the connection between the two families became closer and closer.
The daily routine of life is comfortable, and Annu seems to be frightened by what happened to him last time, and he will cook some meat every day, and Mu Qing, who eats well and sleeps soundly, has some meat on his body, and he doesn't look like he was as slender as before.
The Four Books and Five Classics cannot be put down, and the novel that promised Deng Yuanshan has also begun to be written.
In fact, it's okay to write a long story, after all, it's not really written, but it's not a brainstorm to retell that story in your own words, but Mu Qing doesn't want to give Deng Yuanshan an impression of "responding to requests", after all, he doesn't make a living from this, so he only gave a promise, but didn't say death.
And the reason why he really made up his mind to write it down was because Annu said he liked it.
It seems that there was no response except for the letter sent to Yongzhou.
In two days, it will be the day of the list, and Mu Qing has no pressure in his heart, so he went to bed early. However, on this moonless night, Mu Qing had a dream.
It seems to be very long, long enough to describe a person's life, and it seems to be very short, but it is just a matter of passing by in a hurry.
Who am I?
I'm Mu Qing.
Mu Qing, who is it?
When he woke up suddenly, Mu Qing's eyes widened and he looked at the darkness in front of him, sat up, and subconsciously reached out to the side.
Smooth bedpost. There are also fine lines, which Mu Qing carved with a knife to record his every growth when he was bored.
However, at this time, Mu Qing's teeth chattered, he lifted the quilt and went to the ground barefoot, and when he opened the bed tent, he was directly supported by a warm palm.
In the darkness, I couldn't see anything clearly, and a voice came from my ear: "Master? What's wrong with you? It was cold, and I wanted to go down to the ground and put on my shoes first. ”
“…… Annu? ”
"It's me, but the master has to get up at night?"
Mu Qing seemed to be a little sober, he just got up suddenly and made his head a little dizzy, and after shaking it, he felt the soles of his feet cold. The black hole in the room was too dark to see, and Mu Qing sat back on the bed with Annu's support without saying a word.
An Nu stretched out his hand and helped Mu Qing wipe his forehead.
The sweat of one hand.
"Master, are you nervous? It's okay, the master has so much knowledge, he must be able to understand guò. ”
Mu Qing suddenly had a sense of solidity when he heard this, and exhaled softly, his voice was very soft in the dark night: "Yes, I'm nervous...... It's just nervous...... Annu, I'm fine, you go to sleep. ”
Annu was a little uneasy, but after hearing Mu Qing say this, he didn't say much, pulled out the fire and poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, and then said: "If the master has something, call me, I will be in the outer room." ”
"Okay, you can go yourself."
The fire fold was fastened, and darkness and silence were restored to the room.
Mu Qing didn't go to drink water, but fell down and lay on the soft futon. He stretched out his arm to block his eyes, the dream just now seemed vague, but damn clear.
He spent the life of a man named Mu Qing, and now, he is going to live another life of Mu Qing.
Tossing and turning, and eventually, a sleepless night.
========================================================================
The weather is getting colder and colder, and this year it seems to be unusually cold. Annu bought a copper basin and added snow charcoal from the north, although it was not as valuable as silver silk charcoal and fragrant lotus charcoal, but it was enough for heating.
As he walked through the courtyard, Annu suddenly paused and looked back at the wall, but there was a clear blue sky, silent, quiet, and unusual.
Without further looking, Annu took the basin and gently pushed the door in, put the copper basin in the corner of the room, Annu puffed up his cheeks and blew, and then covered the copper basin with a copper cover with a hollow pattern, and then put his hand on the copper basin and warmed it before entering the inner room.
There was already a charcoal basin in the inner room, but it was very warm, and Mu Qing was enough just wearing a single coat. Mu Qing, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head when he heard the voice, and his expression did not change after seeing that it was Annu, and said, "I'm thirsty." ”
Annu hurriedly poured a cup of tea and brought it over, and Mu Qing picked it up and poured it directly into his mouth. Tea is good tea, but Mu Qing doesn't have the leisure to savor it, and he doesn't need to be so particular about quenching his thirst.
Pouring down a cup of warm tea made my heart feel a lot more comfortable, but it still didn't make the wrinkles between Mu Qing's eyebrows disappear.
After Mu Qing put aside the teacup, he picked up a large pile of paper written on the table, got up and walked to the charcoal basin, and threw it in.
Although the "master......" has seen it a few times, he feels distressed every time he sees Mu Qing burning the results of the day so lightly.
Mu Qing didn't mind at all, but the boredom on his face increased instead of decreasing: "If you burn it, you will burn it, if you are picked up, it will be a troublesome matter." ”
Annu had seen the words on it, but it wasn't very good-looking, and those words were either missing arms or legs, and they looked awkward. Mu Qing's expression was not very good, and Annu didn't dare to ask, so he took a stack of paper and sat aside.
This is what he wrote down when Mu Qing told it last night, it is the story of a white snake, a green snake and a scholar.
Mu Qing didn't look at Annu, but stared at the white paper in front of him with his chin on his own.
He had a dream that was more terrifying than a nightmare.
Because he found that his memory of the events of his previous life was becoming more and more vague.
The plot in the original book has not weakened much, but for the office worker Mu Qing, he is becoming more and more unclear.
It has been less than a year since he crossed into this world, but Mu Qing blurred his experience in that world for more than 20 years. He remembers the address of his last life, the mobile phone number of his previous life, the hard battle he fought all night for his graduation thesis, and the helplessness he felt when he smoothed the sharpness in the office.
However, I forgot what I was like in the past.
It took a day to reminisce and write down those things about myself, but the more I thought about it, the more blurred it became, and the messy simplified characters I wrote couldn't be seen at all.
Mu Qing turned his head and saw the bronze mirror on the table next to him. The mirror is not very clear, but you can see the delicate and handsome eyebrows of the young man inside. This face, which was once unfamiliar, will smile with his smile, and worry with him, this is him Mu Qing.
In the previous life, in this life, this seems to be a very profound question.
Mu Qing pursed his lips and leaned back on the chair, and finally, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
In the past, the paper was burned to disguise the font used.
Burning it now, but I made up my mind.
There will always be a day when he will say goodbye to his former self, no matter how good the life in that world is, he can't go back, and he has no way out but to look forward.
Subconsciously opened the drawer, and Mu Qing took out the letter.
Li Qianyu's letter, Mu Qing took it out and unfolded it, stared at it, but in fact, he didn't read a word, just looked at it.
This person, this is his future, his dependence, and the support for him to go on.
The tense heart eased a little, and his face was not as ugly as it was just now.
"Master, let's put the list today, won't you take a look?" An Nu had actually been peeking at Mu Qing's expression, and when he saw that his face was a little better, he asked.
Mu Qing was stunned when he heard this, and withdrew his gaze from the letter to Annu.
In fact, he had forgotten about it at all, and if it weren't for Annu, he wouldn't have remembered it at all. Looking out of the window, it was already noon, and the time for the release of the list had already passed. I have the heart to go, but I can't catch up if I want to. It's better to wait for someone to disperse a little and then take a look, anyway, if you hit, you won't win, if you don't hit, you can't force it.
He was about to speak, but he heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.
Annu ran out to open the door, Mu Qing looked out of the window, the door opened, and it was the money master with a smile on his face who came in.
We haven't seen each other in this time, but Mu Qing still remembers Master Qian's shrewd face. Seeing him come to the door, he went out to greet him, smiling and wanting to greet him, but who knew that the master of Qian was the first to help Mu Qing.
"Okay, okay, don't ask for so many false courtesies, today is your good day, and the old man is here to report the good news."
Mu Qing was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something. I was a little anxious and a little apprehensive in my heart, but there was a faint smile on my face and asked, "I don't know where the joy comes from?" ”
Master Qian twisted his beard and took out a big red envelope from his sleeve. I still remember that the last time I came to the book, I also brought a big red envelope, and it seems that this person can always bring good news every time.
Mu Qing took the envelope and opened it, there was only a piece of paper inside.
Diligent.
Two words, upright, is the most formal pavilion body.
Mu Qing looked at Master Qian, but saw Master Qian and smiled: "This is given to you by the prefect, and every time the head of Guizhou Mansion has this." ”
First place?
It's the number one!
