Chapter 28 Tao Yao 28
The night goes on; The dawn has not yet come; The afflicted are still struggling with sin; The miserable still climb in purgatory; Those who seek the light are still looking forward to climbing out of the abyss and grasping for the light for salvation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In the middle of the night, the nightingale outside the hospital cried, not as happy as usual, but mourning kept making the listener sad and the listener weeping. For whom to cry, for whom to lament, and for whom to be unwilling to regret. The living water in the pavilion flows and makes a small sound. Like the passing years, it is to take away whose love, to sigh whose youth, or to take away the hidden love that has never been known.
The night is the beginning of sin; It is also a burial of the past. Countless joys and sorrows, the end of the world begins here and ends at dawn. Night is a relic of history; How many stories it has sealed, how many centuries have passed. Countless love sprouts and destruction have taken place here, buried here.
In the middle of the night, the bell rings. The watchmen sang outside, and the soldiers on patrol hurried. The sound of footsteps entered the hospital. I picked up the tea cup in front of the table, took a deep breath of tea, this is the best dragon well before the rain, in the years of the Han and Hungarian turmoil, it is really rare, it seems that Huo Qu's illness is really as rumored, the holy favor is not fading.
Listening to the sound of dew ticking, ticking, ticking on the green leaves, I turned my head to look out the window, and the full moon illuminated the world. It turns out that today is the full moon, I sighed in my heart. Looking at such a beautiful moonlight, my heart began to wander and my eyes began to fade. I started to feel dazed again, and I started to miss that blurry cheek again.
I was the god of creation, I should have enjoyed the joy of life in that palace, I should have swam unhindered in the desolate void, and I should have stayed with her for a long time. But why am I willing to be a slave to the devil, to take the souls of the world, and to do the dirty trade that sometimes even I am disgusted and despised?
I am supposed to bless mankind and give mankind great mercy, and I should use my compassionate and generous mind to solve all the sufferings of the world. Let all mortals in the world respect me and love me. Instead of doing the dirty business of buying and selling souls with these dying people here.
"Sir, sir?"
Who called me in the darkness, who waited for me in the light, and who showed me the way in the confusion. I walked in the darkness and prayed slowly, there was no warmth of light, no feeling of heat, only an illusion of emptiness. I was bound in it, and I was not allowed to advance or retreat.
"Sir, sir!"
This cry was accompanied by a pain that pierced into my bones, and I was suddenly taken out of the darkness and into the light.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the half-burned incense candles in the house swaying from side to side in the wind. In the dim and unknown room, I observed the surroundings, Huo Quzhi's face on the sickbed was even paler, and the black death qi above the Yin Hall was more obvious, I knew that he was not far from the time of death, so he hung his breath like this because he was obsessed and refused to leave.
I looked down to see where the sore spot was coming from, and it was Huo Quzhi's pale arm stretched out from the brocade quilt and grasping at my wrist on the edge of the bed. is worthy of being a military general, even if he is sick and will die soon, the power of the body should not be underestimated.
Looking at Huo Quai's pale smile and his consciousness was attributed, I suddenly remembered that I had been invited to Huo Mansion early this morning to bury the body of General Huo.
"Sir, do you need to increase your physical strength?" Huo Quzhi laughed and teased me.
I looked down and smiled, but secretly I took my own pulse, which is too rare today. I am a god, how can I be so easily approached by nightmares? Suddenly, I tightened my fingers and grabbed my wrist so hard that I never expected it to turn out like this.
"Is it all right, sir?"
Huo Quzhi saw that my face was pale and frightened, and he opened his lips and asked with concern.
I shook my head with a faint smile and decided to close the deal quickly. So I opened my mouth and said directly to the topic: "It is rumored that General Huo and his wife are deeply in love, and his wife has been born and died for General Huo several times, and has followed him left and right, but now this mansion is ......."
I lowered my head and took a sip of tea, and without waiting for Huo Quai's answer, I continued:
"On the day I first came, I saw guilt, self-blame, and unbearable love in General Huo's eyes, I think this is probably not the emotion of the illusory lady who has never appeared in front of the world, but someone else, am I right?"
Huo Quzhi listened with a faint smile at first, and the more he went back, the more frightened and unbelievable his eyes were, and when he heard everything I said, he lowered his head and smiled bitterly, this look was even more strange on a sick and frail face, and it was even more strange under the dim candlelight.
I saw him open his mouth a few times, close it several times, and repeat it several times before he made up his mind to confide: "I love her, but she never knows that I love her, and I don't know if she ever loves me." But it doesn't matter, she is living a good life now, and my responsibility is too great to give her what she wants. I just want to be able to love like this. ”
I raised my eyebrows slightly, and it seemed that I was an idiot again. I drank the tea with a calm face, and watched Huo Quzhi open his lips and begin to tell an unknown secret, perhaps compared to serving the country loyally, this is his obsession.
My family was not wealthy, and my birth was not liked by many people. My mother was the maid of Princess Binh Duong, and she had an affair with my father that led to my birth. As soon as I was born, in addition to my parents, there were also uncles and aunts of the Wei family who loved me very much, and Lu Xigu took a lot of care of me.
The Lu family is a famous courtier in the court, and I was born as a servant girl who laughed at me, and the nobles in the court avoided me. They all looked at me with disdain and disdain, only Lu Xigu never disliked me and always treated me like a brother.
When I was a child, he ran away for me and ridiculed my celebrities, taught me strategy, tactics, and taught me how to lead troops into battle. He is smarter than me, the world only knows that I Huo Qubing is a good hand at marching and fighting, and a hero who drives away the Huns, but no one knows that the real strategist in Chengdu in the Han Dynasty is the outstanding soldier who is Lu Xigu in the name of the gentleman.
I watched, Huo Qubing said this story with difficulty, and asked funny:
"Since he is so good, why is it you who entered the court, and you are the one who entered the emperor's eyes, and the Lu Xigu you said has no figure above the court, and I also heard that the Lu family was found to have embezzled military salaries when you were named a hussar general, and they were beheaded all over the house."
"Hehe, hehe, the world is ignorant." Huo Qu was sick and sneered with a white face.
It's another year of snow, and Chengdu in the Han Dynasty has long been covered in silver, which is extremely enchanting. The people happily went to the street to buy and buy New Year's goods, and a warm atmosphere spread out from the street.
"Brother Lu, Brother Lu."
