Chapter 22: Pain
"If it weren't for this small lake, it would be a bit similar to Qingdang Mountain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zhao Ruoyun said leisurely.
"Yes, but it's a bit similar."
"Brother Qi and I come often, if you like it, you can come often in the future."
"May I?"
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything here. Otherwise, we wouldn't be sitting here so comfortably now. Rong Qing said with certainty.
Speaking of Qingdang Mountain, Zhao Ruoyun's eyes had a sad feeling. Rong Qi saw her thoughts, and didn't want to make her sad for too long, so he said directly. It's been almost five years since Master passed away. Although it was the disputes in the rivers and lakes and the people who hurt the original qi that they walked so fast, however, it was already considered a long life. He is an old man, he was the glorious lintel of the Qingshan faction during his lifetime, presiding over the justice of the rivers and lakes, and being able to settle in the soil in Qingdang Mountain, it can be regarded as a joy and mourning, don't be too sad. The master in Rong Qi's mouth refers to Master Qingyan who accepted Rong Qi and Rong Qing as apprentices and adopted Zhao Ruoyun under his disciples.
"I want to go and worship." Zhao Ruoyun said a little sadly
"Yes, it's just that the weather is too hot now to travel far, and in two months it will be the master's death day, let Qing'er arrange it for you."
Zhao Ruoyun nodded.
Rong Qing saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn. deliberately changed the topic and said, "Yunyun, how have you been doing in the past few years?" Is he good to you? ”
Rong Qing originally changed the topic in order not to make Zhao Ruoyun too sad, but when he saw that Zhao Ruoyun's face gradually turned pale because of his efforts to retract his thoughts, he felt as if this was not a good idea. After a while, Zhao Ruoyun sighed lightly: "I'm very good outside the Saiwai, I have a small yard of my own, and there is a tree in the yard, so I can bask in the sun in the yard when no one comes." It's just that the days of warmth outside the plug are shorter. He was very good to me, he never asked me to do what I didn't want to do, he was a good man, he believed in them and loved his people. is a good leader. Zhao Ruoyun neither lied nor said everything, Rong Qi and Rong Qing knew that she was hiding those difficult parts, and they didn't want to ask.
"Get on board!" Rongqi said.
When the three of them came to the shore, there were no other servants, Rong Qing got on the boat first, turned around and stretched out his hand to help Zhao Ruoyun also get on the boat. Rong Qi came up last: "You sit down on Qing'er's side and I'll row the boat." ”
"You dislike me?" Zhao Ruoyun said angrily.
Knowing that she was joking, Rong Qi laughed and said nothing. At this time, Rong Qing pulled on both sides of the ship's side, and the inner side of the ship on both sides immediately opened, and it turned out that the middle side of the ship was actually hollow. The two boards on the inside of the left and right sides are removed to form a square table, which is the right size in the middle of the boat. Even more subtle, there are still in the middle and dark of this ship, drinks and snacks, cups, plates and utensils.
Rong Qi rowed the boat into the lake and collected the oars, and the boat, which was just big enough for three people and a table, floated in the water like this.
Rong Qi and Rong Qing were eating side dishes and drinking wine, Zhao Ruoyun should not drink alcohol after taking medicine for a long time, she liked those snacks more. That is all Rongqing specially let the cook in the house make it. The choices are all her favorite flavors.
"Brother, how have you been all these years?" It seems to be a casual question, but it is the question she wants to ask the most, and it is also the most difficult question to answer. She looked at Rong Qi opposite, Rong Qi poured wine and didn't mean to speak, she turned her head to look at Rong Qing again. Rong Qing felt her gaze turn her head. The sun has disappeared from the top of the mountain, the lake is a lost shadow, and the evening breeze is slightly cool. Rong Qing didn't speak in a hurry, but took a shawl and put it on Zhao Ruoyun, and said while helping her tie the belt. "We are very good, although there are times of hard work, but we are willing, if a person does something that he is willing to pay for, then no matter how hard it is, he will not feel it."
Rong Qing's answer was the same as what Zhao Ruoyun had just said about her time in the Hu Clan, it was all the truth, but it also omitted the hardships. When he was a child, Zhao Ruoyun followed them and wandered to survive, although life was difficult at that time, Rong Qi and Rong Qing would still save money, buy books, read books, and never give up the opportunity to ask others for advice and learning. At that time, Zhao Ruoyun was still young and didn't understand it. Rong Qi told him that he hoped that one day, he could do something he hoped to do. Zhao Ruoyun asked again: "Then brother, what do you want to do?" Rong Qi said, "No matter what I do, I just don't want more children to wander around without their parents like us." ”
Later, Zhao Ruoyun gradually understood that there were some responsibilities and missions that had long been engraved in the blood of Rong Qi and Rong Qing. This is why others had no chance of winning back then, and they would risk their lives to return to Beijing to seize the throne. Obviously, this wealth and glory is not what they expected. However, as Rong Qing said just now, as long as you do what you want to do, no matter how hard it is, what is it?
For a moment, the ship fell silent.
"Yunyun, since we talked about the past, there are some things that some people still have to face even though you don't want to." Rong Qi broke the silence.
"Brother!" Zhao Ruoyun called, she looked at Rong Qi with some pleading, hoping that he would not continue, obviously she should have realized what he was going to say.
Rong Qing's reaction was slightly slower, but he also realized something at this moment, and he looked at Zhao Ruoyun's gradually reddening eyes and increasingly chaotic aura. I couldn't bear to say "Brother" in my heart, and he also pleaded and called Rong Qi. "Give her some more time," Rong Qing said.
"Some of the thorns will only sink deeper and deeper if they are not dug out." Rong Qi looked sad, but his tone was still firm. Rong Qing knew that there was no way to convince him, so he could only reach out and hold Zhao Ruoyun's shoulder, hoping to give her a little strength. When his hand touched Zhao Ruoyun's body, he found that she was quite calm on the surface, but her body had already trembled, and her breath was even more uncontrollable and chaotic. Rong Qing added a little more force and pulled her into his arms. Zhao Ruoyun did not resist, and shrunk in his arms, like a wounded little animal seeking protection. Rong Qing is naturally delicate and gentle, and has been taking care of Zhao Ruoyun's daily life since he was a child, and he has more pity for this sister than Rong Qi, and he can't bear to see her like this, but at the moment he feels that maybe Rong Qi is really helpful to Zhao Ruoyun by doing this, so he can only silently turn his head to the side and can't bear to look at her.
"Yunyun, everything else has passed, it's just Feng'er, you can still ignore it all the time, it's not fair to him, you are his mother after all. What should be faced is still to be faced. ”
As soon as the word "mother" came out, Zhao Ruoyun felt that the breath in his body was suddenly hollowed out, his chest was suffocated, and his fingertips were cold, as if he was falling into the black abyss little by little, and gradually lost consciousness.
