Chapter 1: Ten Years Later
Jiu Wentian looked at the book in his hand, closed the book on medicinal herbs with some surprise, and then got up and tied his hair up. Jiang Qiufang told him that here, the parents of the human body should not cut their hair.
In this way, Jiu Wentian patiently tied his hair, and then pushed open the door of this room, there was already some snow outside the door, but it was not very deep, but Jiu Wentian felt that the snow in front of him did not seem to stop in a short time. Counting the days, it was already the tenth day of winter, and it had been ten years since that event.
Jiu Wentian walked to the water tank in the courtyard, and then looked at the figure inside, this person had a good face and high spirits, and looked quite like a scholar. He was now seventeen years old, and he didn't have the baby fat he had at that time, and he didn't have the idea of adventuring with a white dragon at that time.
Now Jiu Wentian is already a person who is about to become an adult, and if you think about it, next year should be his time to become an adult.
The snow was falling so heavily that Jiu Wentian couldn't help but wrap the fur coat on his shoulders a little tighter, and in all these moments, his hair was already white.
"The morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Jiu Wentian sighed, he still couldn't believe that he had been here for seventeen years, or that the world in the previous life was like a dream of eternal sleep. In the past ten years, Jiu Wentian has accumulated a lot, but there are some things that he has never let go of in the past ten years, such as the spirit pool in the Hundred Beast Forest, and the small gap at the end of the world......
But more importantly, it is the death of Jiang Qiufang's mother.
Just as Jiu Wentian was reminiscing, there was a sudden creaking sound outside, Jiu Wentian's hearing was not bad, mainly because the air was relatively quiet at this time. When I heard this, I knew that it was Jiang Qiufang coming, and it was not easy to hear it before there was no snow, and the crunching rhythm of this foot on the snow made Jiu Wentian guess that it was Jiang Qiufang.
It seems that she has returned to the age of seven, Jiang Qiufang is wearing a white dress, purple fur on her shoulders, and she is picturesquely beautiful holding a paper umbrella. Jiang Qiufang is no longer a child, Chu Chu's moving face looks so dazzling, and these big eyes seem to be talking to the person in front of him.
Jiang Qiufang laughed when he came here, and asked directly, "Xiao Jiu, where is the poetry?"
"No," Jiu Wentian shook his head in embarrassment, and then asked, "Why did you come here?"
Jiang Qiufang stuck out his tongue, and then said mischievously: "I asked for leave today and didn't go." ”
Jiu Wentian couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
"Yesterday, sister, I watched the stars at night," Jiang Qiufang said proudly, the corners of his mouth were almost up to the sky, "I have calculated that it will snow today, my mother used to like snow the most, so I specially asked Coach Ye for a day off, but I came to find you." ”
mentioned Jiang Qiufang's mother, that is, He Ze, Damocles said that he would take He Ze's life as his compensation, and then He Ze died mysteriously. Jiu Wentian has always blamed himself for this matter, and when Jiang Qiufang said this, he was also stunned for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Do you want to hang out?"
Jiang Qiufang shook his head and said, "This is the first snow since the beginning of winter this year, I want to go and watch it with my mother, you can go with me." ”
"Why, it's me?" Jiu Wentian was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to face it even more, "What about the city lord?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Qiufang's mouth pursed, and he said angrily: "That dead old man of his, he has long forgotten my mother, and he only thinks about drinking and messing around all day long, and I saw him sleeping with a fox spirit in his arms last night!"
Jiu Wentian's sweat beads came out, and he said in his heart that this city lord didn't pay attention to his image, but Jiang Fuqing's actions during this time were also in Jiu Wentian's mind, if you want to ask him when he started to become like this, it was probably the third year after He Ze's death. Therefore, there is also a part of the reason for Jiuwentian.
Jiu Wentian had no choice but to say: "My aunt, you can be quiet, I'll go with you." ”
"I knew that Xiao Jiu would definitely go with me. Jiang Qiufang held an umbrella in one hand and Jiu Wentian's arm in the other.
Jiu Wentian hurriedly pulled Jiang Qiufang's arm away, and then said righteously: "Sister, let me tell you again, men and women are not kissed, you are the daughter of the city lord, the eldest lady in the city lord's mansion, and I am a small bookkeeper, your words are inappropriate for others to see." ”
"Cut, it's not that you dislike me when you say that you are so noble. Jiang Qiufang pursed his lips, and simply didn't hold Jiu Wentian anymore, so he walked beside him and set up an umbrella for Jiu Wentian.
He Ze was buried in the Forest of Peace, which was very quiet and rarely disturbed. After Jiang Qiufang's statement, Jiu Wentian can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of He Ze, who has a light life and a peaceful life, when he was born, his eyes were full of snow but he didn't see a cry, and when he died, his eyes were full of snow without a trace of resentment. He Ze is such a person, a woman living in the countryside, who does not have a high level of education, but rarely fights with others.
If you don't fight, it's a great fight, and if you don't fight, the people of the world won't fight with it.
He Ze's tombstone was about to be buried by heavy snow, Jiu Wentian saw this, so he stepped forward and wiped off the snow on it with his hands, and then Jiu Wentian kowtowed three times in front of He Ze's tomb, and then said: "Mrs. Jiang, Qiu Fang and I have come to see you." ”
Jiang Qiufang also knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said, "Mother, look, it's snowing." I still remember when you were a child, you took me to watch the snow together, and you said that snow is the whitest and purest thing in the world, just like me. Mother, I miss you, dad has been drinking, and he has been murdering me, I hate him. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Qiufang began to cry, and Jiu Wentian's heart was also sad, how could his heart not be bitter? In his last life, some people said that a woman's best weapon is tears, and those big tearful eyes will make a man's heart melt no matter how hard he is. But Jiu Wentian realized at this time that a woman's best weapon is not tears, but that enthusiastic heart.
Since her mother left, Jiang Qiufang rarely cried anymore, perhaps because she knew that no one could allow her to cry anymore. But this girl didn't cry for her own experience and life experience, but for her mother.
The fur coat on Jiang Qiufang's shoulders was about to be shaken off, and when Jiu Wentian saw this, he stretched out his hand to put the dress back on her, but he didn't expect Jiang Qiufang to lean over by himself, so he snuggled in Jiu Wentian's arms and sobbed. Now that there is no one around, Jiu Wentian didn't say anything, just wanted to make her cry and pour out all the dissatisfaction in her heart.
After kneeling like this for about five minutes, Jiang Qiufang's crying gradually became smaller, and Jiu Wentian's kneeling and arms were numb. Jiu Wentian patted the snow on Jiang Qiufang's body, and then said, "I believe your mother will definitely see this snow." ”
Jiang Qiufang took out his fingers from his fur coat and wiped the tears in his eyes, then took a breath of snowy air with his nose and said, "Well, let's go back." Otherwise, I will let Mr. Cao talk about you again. ”
"Let's go. "Jiu Wentian almost forgot that Manager Cao would go to check his study and calculate the time, it would be soon, if he saw himself and Miss come out, then his money today would be gone.
Jiang Qiufang nodded, then got up and opened his umbrella to stand in the woods, his eyes were full of snow and said, "Xiao Jiu, look at it, it's so beautiful here now." ”
Jiu Wentian let the blood flow to his legs, then stood up, looked around and said with interest: "Yes, it's rare to see snow in the forest, it's pretty beautiful." ”
"What's that?" Jiang Qiufang pointed to a carriage in the distance, and then said, "How can there be a carriage here?"
Jiu Wentian also looked there, and sure enough, there was a red carriage, but the roof of the carriage was covered with snow, and it was strange in the forest of this forest of peace.
"Don't worry about the people, maybe they're here to enjoy the snow, let's go back quickly." Jiu Wentian said a little anxiously, he didn't want to lose this day's money. Although he has made a lot of money in Shenzhou, he still has to have some savings.
Jiang Qiufang no longer asked about the origin of the carriage, and walked with Jiu Wentian to the city lord's mansion with an umbrella.
At this time, there are fewer stalls on the street, and it is comfortable to stay at home and keep the bed baking on the stove on this kind of day, and no one wants to shake around outside in the winter. After hearing Tianxin for a long time, he said that if Jiang Qiufang didn't have to pull himself out, he might have been studying in the study a long time ago, and he would have frozen himself into a popsicle after coming out for a while.
The two people who returned to the City Lord's Mansion were finally relieved, Jiu Wentian said that he was going back to his own study to stay, and Jiang Qiufang wanted to follow him to the study to play. Jiu Wentian felt that if she came to the study, she would not have to toss herself to death, so she decisively rejected her.
"You have to think about it, you won't let me in. Jiang Qiufang stretched out his fist and said viciously.
Jiu Wentian was stunned for a moment, compared the two of them in his heart, and found that he was indeed not Jiang Qiufang's opponent, so he had to admit it and said, "Okay, but there is one thing you have to promise me." ”
"You say. ”
"I can't touch the books inside, I can just sort them out, it's very troublesome. Jiu Wentian begged for mercy with a hint of pity.
Jiang Qiufang nodded and acquiesced, followed Jiu Wentian into the study, looked at the furnishings inside and couldn't help but admire, "Okay, Xiao Jiu, I haven't been here for more than ten days, you actually tidy up the study so well, I want to move in." ”
"Alright, Miss, I'll suffer if you move in. Jiu Wentian said helplessly: "Do you want tea?" I'll make you a cup. ”
