Chapter 120 Desperate Survival
He carried a small purse and embroidered "Fu Shou Ankang", which was given to him by Yue Mingchong, he cherished it very much, looked at it and was distracted, and he didn't even hear Luo Qiuji call him several times.
"Big brother, do you have any news?"
Luo Qiuchen shook his head and sat down beside him, looking depressed, and said in a low voice: "Under the cliff is the Futuo River, and the river is surging to the sea. ”
"Bad luck is less...... Ming Chong is very afraid of water, and if she falls into the water, she will definitely die. Gongsun Yi's tone was clear, but his mood was unusually calm.
Luo Qiuchen sighed secretly, his brother's temperament seems to have changed, if this kind of thing happened, if it was in the past, he must have wanted to kill someone when he saw it, but at this time, he ...... He really didn't expect that in this world, there was a woman named Yue Mingchong who could melt the most bad iceberg brother in the world, but unfortunately, when he just fell in, the woman who worried him took the first step.
Things in the world are always not perfect, except for a little complaint and curse to God, the only thing he can do is to do his best to help his dearest brother find a trace, even if it is a shoe, a small accessory, as long as it is Yue Mingchong, so as not to fall into this shadow of pain for a long time, Lingling is an example.
Speaking of which, Brother Yi is really miserable, people in the world, I'm afraid that there will never be a more miserable man than Brother Yi. The unwedced wife of the finger died when she was a child. Finally, another woman came into his heart, and when he decided to be like a wife, they also broke up and abandoned him. Could it be that Brother Yi's fate is a ghost, is it the life of his wife?
"Big brother, what are you thinking?"
Luo Qiuchen raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Spaghetti, seeing that his complexion had not changed much, his heart was even more sad, at this time, cry if you want to cry! Although he, the eldest brother, can't understand the pain of life and death, he won't secretly laugh at his brother for being too girly and too weak.
"It's okay, I'm thinking, I've been looking for two months, if I really can't find it, I'd better give up, I remember Cui Yang said, people's destiny is that God has already set haode, no one can disrupt it, let alone change it, Ming Chong is miserable in this life, and he will be able to be a happy and carefree person in the next life."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yi was speechless. Yes, in this life, she suffered a lot, and was often tortured by illness and poison, and in the next life, I hope she can ...... Suddenly, he stared at his thoughts, looked at Luo Qiujian, and said lightly: "I don't think she's dead yet, maybe, she's still waiting for me somewhere to save her, maybe ......" He hesitated for a moment, his tone was full of sadness, "Maybe she doesn't want to zaijian me at all, if I don't look for her, she will definitely refuse to see me." ”
"Brother Yi, a person jumps down from such a high cliff, the river is turbulent, there are many sharp rocks in the river, even if she can avoid the sharp rocks by luck, but she can't escape from the vast sea, Ming Chong can't water, how can she escape?"
Luo Qiuchen's heart was damp, he saw Gongsun Yi's eyebrows twisted into a pimple, and he knew that it would be useless to persuade him to continue, no matter how deep the pain was, it would slowly calm down after a long time, since Brother Yi could come out of the shadow of Lingling and fall in love with Yue Mingchong, he would definitely be able to forget Yue Mingchong in the future and like someone else again.
"Shi Niang asked me to accompany you well, she knows that no matter what she says at this time, you will not pay attention to Yi Brother, Shi Niang, she has good intentions, I hope Yi Brother you can understand a mother's mind." He really didn't know how to persuade him, and if this happened, his wife couldn't get out of it. knew the thoughts of his brother, but he also broke them up openly and secretly, and recognized Ming Chong as his goddaughter, so that they could have lovers who would become brothers and sisters for a while, and intentionally or unintentionally let Ming Chong leave Ruiyuan.
This kind of thing that would rather demolish a temple than destroy a village marriage, the master mother actually did it. Although from a mother's point of view, marrying a wife and seeking a lady is to find a dignified and gentle girl who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking, needlework, but it is rare in the world that lovers can love each other, why should they use their own standards to ask their sons to follow their own paved roads?
He remembered that when he was young, Shi Niang was strong in martial arts but gentle and considerate, tolerant and generous, and quite funny, and her temperament was somewhat similar to Ming Chong. Why is it that he is getting older and more and more unkind, and even he, who has always respected his master, is now unwilling to stand on her side.
Looking up at the window, it was getting dark, and it was just after noon when he came, and the two of them sat for several hours, thinking about their own things but couldn't think of a reason. Inadvertently glanced at Gongsun Yi as if he had been pulled out of his soul, he was still glad that he did not fall into the love network, otherwise, this heart-wrenching feeling would definitely make him even hurt his vitality.
The sky is just dark, the lights of Ziruo City are all lit, this city is at the junction of the Yong'an Dynasty and the Yulang Kingdom, there is an endless stream of merchants and tourists, and the place where dragons and snakes are mixed, the security will naturally not be much better. As soon as dusk, the soldiers patrolling the city were lazy and lazy and routine, although it was to verify the identity of the merchants and passers-by, but they also turned a blind eye, the mountain was high and the emperor was far away, this place was not only far away from the Yong'an Dynasty, it was the Yulang country, and it was also a place that could not be managed.
"Yan Su, tomorrow night, Brother Guan will invite our brothers to Mingyue Tower for a drink, don't forget."
As soon as the little soldier guarding the door saw the young man in a moon-white robe and a black gauze hat walking out of the gate of the county government, he hurriedly stopped, and the young man named Hua Yansu stopped his footsteps, nodded at the little soldier and smiled: "Oh, it's not okay tomorrow night, my brother's shop is too busy these days, I have to help him take care of it, and I must ask a few brothers if I am free." ”
"Okay, okay, if you don't go, then we won't wait for you, we have to talk about it when we are free, there is still more time...... Eh, a few prisoners escaped from Yulang Country in the past few days, which has made the people of Ziruocheng panic, you can be careful, you will suffer if you are bumped into. Xiao Bing kindly reminded, and inadvertently glanced at the restaurant on the other street, she also looked at that end, Xiao Bing hid a yawn, and his tone was quite envious, "Yan Su, you are so good, as soon as it gets dark, my brother will put down his business to take you home, and I will not be so hode." ”
She smiled silently and walked across the street.
The white figure standing under the eaves saw him, waved at him, turned and walked into the shop, she quickly followed, and sat down beside him, "Brother, if you are busy, you don't need to pick me up." ”
The man he called his brother was slightly stunned, and then a satisfied smile appeared on his lips, but this smile was a little uncomfortable, "Someone in the shop is taking care of it, the law and order have been chaotic these days, and I don't worry about you alone." ”
"What's not to worry about? I'm not a sick and weak scholar who is powerless, besides, when I came out of the county yamen, who didn't dare to be bold enough to provoke the county yamen. She grinned, her hands supporting her cheeks, but she didn't take off her black gauze hat.
The shopkeeper diligently introduced today's signature dish to the two of them one by one, and she immediately turned her head to look at it, "Susu, what do you want to eat?" He asked softly.
“…… Let's go home, big brother cooks, I'll help, okay? ”
"Well, I may not have cooked for a long time, and if my hands are raw, I'm afraid that the food I cook will be unpalatable." He got up and walked to the door, and when he heard her call two jars of wine to the shopkeeper, he frowned slightly, opened his mouth to speak, and saw that her tone was full of pleasure, so he had to swallow the words of persuasion.
"Two jars of wine, one altar for the eldest brother and one altar for me." She smiled and handed over one of the jars, and he hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly took it in his hand.
"This wine ......"
"Big brother, there is wine today and drunk today, I don't know how long I can live, these days, I'm really happy, doesn't my eldest brother want me to be happy?" She held the wine jar in one hand and the sword in the other, the wind of the summer night blew the corner of his shirt, she closed her eyes slightly, and took a deep breath, "The taste of Ziruocheng is really different from other places, the smell of fat powder, the aroma of wine, the smell of roast meat, the smell of horse manure, and the smell of camels, it is really a mixture of flavors." Suddenly, I felt that I had been talking in a way recently, and I didn't feel funny, and said, "Does the eldest brother think it's funny?" ”
"What's funny?" He couldn't quite read his mind, her thinking changed quickly, often one moment she was still talking about her own problems at the moment, and the next moment she turned to the trivial things of others, or some inconsequential words. He was accustomed to this kind of whimsical conversation, with one and no one, each talking and thinking.
"I've read a few books recently, and I've learned some sour words, and I'm like the county master, who always pops out of his mouth with these words, chewing the words, I have to ponder and ponder to understand what he means, it's really tiring." She smiled and quipped, and turned to him who was silent without any expression, "Big brother, you are always so lifeless, where will there be a girl like you in the future?" ”
"Girl?" He was quite surprised, the corners of his mouth twitched, and just as he wanted to reply, she continued: "But now the eldest brother is the owner of the worry-free bookstore and the joy cloth village, in the eyes of ordinary girls, but what about rich people, a table of talents and gold, don't worry that no girl likes it." ”
"This worry-free bookstore and cloth village are yours, I just help you take care of it, you are the boss, at best, I still work for you for a long time." He smiled, but he didn't mean to complain at all, she laughed a few times, and said: "Then Xiexie's big brother's help, I hope the business is prosperous, the eldest brother has a smooth life, and I don't have any regrets." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a brief silence, and they were all used to this sudden cold situation. Especially when she talks about the end of his life, he becomes extremely cold even when he is silent. She just didn't understand that he desperately saved her, just to let her live well, no matter what the cost, as long as she could be safe and sound and live to gray hair.
Falling off the cliff that day, how much energy he put in, just hoping that she could forget the past and start again, she seemed to have left behind all the painful experiences in the past, but she could not let go. Always said that life and death have fate, she said that her life was stolen, breaking the natal chart, will change other people's natal chart, he doesn't know where she heard this, if he knows who the person who said this bastard is, he must be beaten.
As soon as she got home, she took off her hat, went back to her room to change into women's clothes, and went to the kitchen to help him cook.
"Big brother, do you think I look good in the women's clothes of the Yulang Kingdom or the women's clothes of the Imperial Dynasty?"
He glanced at her, turned his head and continued to chop vegetables, "It's all good, but it's better to wear the clothes of Yulang Kingdom, I see that the girls in Yulang Country have beautiful makeup, you can also learn from them." ”
She nodded, she didn't expect him to be very careful, and what he said was true, although they all wore heavy makeup, and they couldn't wait to smear the whole box of rouge oil paint on their faces, but this kind of gorgeous heavy makeup was the safest, so as not to be recognized.
