Chapter Twenty-Five: Blackwater Cliffs
The moon is cherished, the night is bleak, the breeze blows, and tears fall. The pen and the fun and the pavilion www.biquge.info insects chirped and the cries floated by.
Tonight is not quiet, but the atmosphere is like a cold winter, for Yu Nian, the most helpless thing in the world is to be speechless, one of the most outstanding characteristics of his body is iron teeth and copper teeth, three inches of incorruptible tongue, but now, he can't say a word.
Everyone has weaknesses, no one is invulnerable, for Yu Nian, whether it is now or before, what he is most afraid of is the crying of girls, especially the person he loves.
When it comes to such a time, there are finally a thousand words in my heart, and the moment that comes to my throat is also abruptly closed.
The wind stopped, and the tears stopped.
Qiao Du slowly stood up, her back to Yu Nian, her back was no longer weak, and the waning moon stretched her shadow, that was the choice.
"I... Time to go. ”
In her hand, she held a bag of tips, she took it for a long time, her palms were already sweating, and finally it was time to leave, Yu Nian was as she thought, there was no opening, no retention.
Now for more than a few years, maybe this is the most suitable place for him, Qiao Duan doesn't like to be difficult with strong people, so from this point to the end, he never mentioned that incident.
When she goes back, maybe she will choose to sink into jade with red makeup, the rest of the years she once loved, there is no shadow of that person, everything disappears, perhaps, dying on the night of the wedding is the best destination.
"Smack-"
The bag in his hand was taken off, and the person also flew up with the wind, and the elongated shadow disappeared with it, fading more and more, until it disappeared into the purple bamboo forest.
The insects squeaked, and the shadow of Yu Nian began to shake, he leaned down and picked up the bag, the slightly moist touch also exuded a faint fragrance that belonged to Qiao Dui, this may be the last taste she left.
The bag was opened, a piece of paper was written, and the regular script number fell sadly, coldly depicting the short words.
[Celebrating the birthday for more than a year,
Sigh for more than a few years,
Grief for more than a year.
Seeing him rise up tall buildings,
Seeing him feasting guests,
I saw that his building had collapsed. 】
Suddenly smelled a light wind, gently rolled up the note in Yu Nian's hand, hurriedly grabbed it, the wind was stronger, a few jumps, the note went away with the wind.
Early the next morning, before the morning sun began to shine into the secluded hut in the purple bamboo forest, Good Luck had already woken up from the bed and shouted, "Sister Qiao?" , Looking around, there was no Sister Qiao, only her father was squatting on the edge of her bed and smiling gently at her.
"Is Sister Joe back?"
Yu Nian replied to her instead, raising his right hand with a clenched fist and reaching out to Good Luck: "Good Luck, guess what this is?"
"I don't guess!" Good luck was a little angry, and pouted: "I want Sister Qiao!"
"Look, this is what Sister Qiao gave you."
Yu Nian's palm was opened, and inside was a small seed, full and round, it was a good seed, and Good Luck picked up that kind of seed in confusion and asked, "What is this?"
"This, it was given to you by Sister Qiao, she left beforehand, she said that if she was lucky, she would plant this seed, as long as it blooms on the day, Sister Qiao will come back."
"Daddy, what kind of seed is this?"
"Epiphany."
Fireworks are easy to cold, short-lived, and personnel are easy to separate, and what is pinned on is an ethereal miss.
Good luck doesn't know what an epiphany is, she only knows that as long as she is obedient and takes good care of this kind of seed, when it sprouts and grows strong and strong, when it blooms, Sister Qiao will come back.
She and Yu Nian planted this little seed in the courtyard, looking forward to it, waiting.
Yu Nian's mood was a little heavy, he didn't want to affect his good luck, so he specially asked Lao Huang to greet good luck, and he went to the old friend inn.
For more than a year, I rarely touched wine for more than a year, and in the past years, I liked wine very much, which always brought excitement to myself, but after that, every time I took a sip, I would always recall bad things.
This time, Yu Nian didn't control himself, and sat down alone in the corner of the Old Friends Inn, drinking alone. At the end of the three points of drunkenness, Gu Wenwen sat next to him, snatched the wine from Yu Nian's hand, took a sip in his mouth, and said, "I am even more sad to use wine to eliminate my sorrows."
Yu Nian bent down a little and dragged a pot of wine, poured a few sips and said: "If there are more lice, it is not itchy."
"Bullshit!"
However, Yu Nian didn't look so worried, and he could still talk well, which made Gu Wenwen a little worried.
added a few side dishes to him, for fear that he would drink too much, so he asked Xiao Er not to bring him wine, so he sat next to him and asked a few words from time to time.
"Reluctant?"
"Flowers fall and water falls, and it is wine."
In the past few years, sometimes the words are always inexplicable, the answer is not what is asked, but the meaning that can be said is always hidden in it.
For several days, the rest of the year was spent at the Old Friend's Inn, degraded in old wine, drunk and hidden in falsehood.
Until this day, Yu Nian came here silently as usual and sat down in the corner, a little shaky, it seemed that he had drunk a little before he came, sat in the corner, did nothing, and lay on the table.
A few outsiders around were chatting and looking at their clothes, they were people in the rivers and lakes, but they were just some third-rate goods, but the content they talked about made them cheer up for more than a few years.
"I heard that the Tsing Yi Guard Division is preparing for a wedding?"
"You just heard? Hi! It was rumored that the rivers and lakes were crazy, and a month later, the military advisor would marry Lord Qiao, the deputy commander of the Tsing Yi Guard. As for the wedding post, our Dry Dragon Sect has also won a place! ”
"Tsk, Brother Li is a blessing."
"Blessed fart, I can't go again, the head of the house goes, otherwise how could I be in such a broken place."
"But then again, Yu Gongzi and Miss Qiao are indeed very right, talented and beautiful."
These two people talked and chatted, and they were also taboo from the previous rules, and they didn't dare to call Yu Nian's name directly, because in their eyes, Yu Nian's name was like Lord Yama, and whoever called it was unlucky.
Li Si and Zhang San were chatting happily, when a dead cripple suddenly came out, pounced on him with a hideous face, grabbed Li Si's collar and asked, "What did you just say?"
Seeing Li Si suffering, Zhang San raised his knife to shock, and the attention of the people around him was suddenly focused here, Li Si's face was full of sweat, and he was shocked by a part of the evil qi emitted by Yu Nian, and waved his hand at Zhang San weakly, signaling him not to be impulsive.
Then he looked at Yu Nian with pleading eyes: "Senior... Can you take back your evil spirits? I... I'm running out of breath. ”
Yu Nian let go of his hand and squeezed between the two of them, Gu Wenwen originally wanted to come over at the counter, but it seemed that things were inexplicably better.
"Tell me everything you know about Yu Nian and Qiao Dui!"
Listening to Yu Nian's voice hoarse and a little angry, it didn't scare the two of them, and you said incoherently one by one.
It turned out that a month later, Jiuwu will hold a wedding banquet in Chang'an City, inviting a wide range of heroes, and the most exciting news is that the current saint Jiang Kun will also attend, according to folk rumors, because Yu Nian is an orphan, so when he worships the church, he is ready to bow down to the emperor.
And the fact that he was going to marry Qiao Dui was also heard a little in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect it to be true, and such a prodigal son would honestly marry a daughter-in-law in the rest of the year, which made people from all major factions secretly surprised.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the table where Yu Nian was located suddenly exploded, causing the people in the store to scatter and flee, Li Si and Zhang San also took advantage of the chaos to run out, leaving only the stunned Xiao Er and Gu Wenwen who looked at Yu Nian speechlessly at the counter.
And Yu Nian sat alone on the bench, lowered his head, spit out a mouthful of black blood for a long time, and fainted.
When he woke up, he was no longer in the inn, but in the town's Doctor Wang, surrounded by many people, Gu Wenwen's father and daughter, Lao Huang and others with good luck, the owner of the steamed bun shop, and the old friends gang.
Seeing that Yu Nian finally opened his eyes, Good Luck cried with a loud bang, crying while rushing into Yu Nian's arms, Dr. Wang also wanted to stop it, Yu Nian was injured internally, but he couldn't be so brute and bumped, but what surprised him was that Yu Nian actually sat up and hugged Good Luck.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't be able to get up, and he walked into Yu Nian with some doubts and asked him to stretch out his hand, check his pulse, and stabilize it.
Originally, I wanted to check it for a while, this was a big breakthrough in medicine, but Yu Nian didn't want to, he got out of bed, although his face was still a little pale, but it didn't prevent him from picking up his good luck and going out.
――
Qiao Dusk's departure, everyone also knows something, what was kept in the dark may only be good luck, or maybe it is said that Yu Nian would rather be kept in the dark, how hopeful, it was a dream, woke up, everything was as usual...
"For the rest of my life... Rest? Wake up! ”
Yu Nian raised his eyelids, saw Gu Wenwen's face, turned his head and looked around, it was at the Old Friends Inn again, since that internal injury, the number of times here has become more and more frequent over the years.
And good luck sensed that something was wrong, but chose to remain silent, a child is still like this, let alone others.
"Huh?"
With three points of sleepiness and seven points of drunkenness, it took a long time for him to spit out a word in a daze.
"My father asked me to go to Wucheng to pick some goods, do you want to go with you and relax?"
Going to Wu Cheng? Yu Nian's brain began to slowly sober up, and he was going to refuse at first, but suddenly there was a sentence in his head, "I want you to live here forever, and swear never to set foot in Yongning Town!" ”
Yu Nian laughed at himself and stood up crookedly: "Go, let's go!"
"Then you go take a bath first, my master has prepared ginger soup for you, sober up first."
After some preparation, they got into the carriage, and with the sound of horses' hooves, the two left Yongning Town, and in less than half a day, they arrived in Wucheng, and along the way, there was nothing to say.
has been silent for more than a year, Gu Wenwen is very busy, busy shopping for various things, and when she finally went back, it was already evening.
Out of Wucheng and in the direction of Yongning Town, keep walking with the twilight.
"Phew!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, Yu Nian turned his face to look at Gu Wenwen, Gu Wenwen also looked at Yu Nian, stood up and got off the carriage, and said to Yu Nian on the carriage: "You come down for the rest of your life, I will take you somewhere."
Black Water Cliff, here is a terrible cliff outside Wu City, countless people have fallen down, no one can come back alive, there is a black water Tan under the cliff, there is no sound in the black water, there is no living thing in the pool, but it is said that there is a terrible water beast lurking at the bottom of the Tan.
The two of them sat on the edge of the Blackwater Cliff, and they didn't get much closer to the edge of the cliff, but retreated a little bit to sit on the edge. Gu Wenwen pointed to the cliff not far ahead: "My mother fell from here back then."
Yu Nian didn't speak, just watched silently.
"Back then, my father's business failed, and my mother quarreled with my father every day, and later, a mother's old friend came, and my father and I have been sworn enemies for many years.
He wanted to take my mother, but of course my father didn't agree.
Back then, it was here that they quarreled, and as soon as the father missed, he pushed the man down, and the mother directly threw himself down and grabbed the friend, and then the father also grabbed the mother's hand.
One person, grabbing the weight of two people, was hanging here, and I was already scared stupid at that time.
Vaguely, I only heard my mother say that I never regretted marrying you, but I didn't regret loving him.
Immediately afterwards, the father cried because the mother and the man had fallen. ”
After that, she stood up, with a melancholy face, and Yu Nian slowly followed: "What do you want to express?"
Gu Wenwen laughed at herself: "If it wasn't for her mother to let go first, in fact, her father could have pulled her up."
"For the rest of your life, go back."
Just as she was about to ask where to go back, Gu Wenwen's foot suddenly slipped and fell, which scared Yu Nian, but fortunately she didn't fall, but just as Gu Wenwen was helped up by Yu Nian, the cliff side stone under her foot suddenly shattered, and Gu Wenwen's foot stepped directly into the air, and she slipped down.
Yu Nian hurriedly grabbed it, but Yu Nian didn't have much strength, but he was pulled off the cliff by Gu Wenwen, and seeing that he was about to fall, Gu Wenwen grabbed the weeds growing on the edge of the cliff with one hand, and grabbed Yu Nian with the other hand.
The two hung like this, and Gu Wenwen cried and shouted: "For the rest of your life, hold on!" We can go up. ”
Yu Nian glanced down, bottomless, and he was getting weaker and weaker, looking at Gu Wenwen's struggling appearance and the position she caught, he knew that as long as he let go, Gu Wenwen could still be rescued.
Life is like this, maybe it's not bad to die here.
"No... No, no, no... Don't for the rest of your life!! ”
Heh, finally can't hold on? Yu Nian smiled inexplicably, a bitter smile, a relieved smile, or an unwilling smile. But everything was useless, the palm that was already disabled slowly fell off Gu Wenwen's hand, as if it was buzzing and broken.
The body is falling, but what is it that is unwilling?
After all, Yu Nian still chose to escape and use death to escape.
This result is what Gu Wenwen wants to see, not long after Yu Nian fell, Gu Wenwen cried for a while, and then jumped lightly and fell steadily onto the cliff.
Behind him, I don't know when, several people in black have already appeared, kneeling on one knee with their heads bowed.
Gu Wenwen skillfully groped around her neck for a while, and then slowly tore off her human skin mask, revealing a beautiful face, with a slight resentment, and said angrily: "Even if you get him down, the slave family will almost not be able to make it up, that guy Qingming is so annoying, he has to pretend that the slave family is an accident, and the slave family almost shows his stuffing!"
As if talking to herself, Su Qiaoqiao complained a few words, raised her eyebrows and looked at the black-clothed people: "Well, the task is complete, let that girl go first, remember to let her forget about being kidnapped yesterday."
Several men in black received the order at the same time: "No!"
"Okay, okay, let's go back and prepare to watch a good show, I hope Qingming is not wrong, otherwise it will be boring to watch the slave family without a show."
