Chapter 5: Pain
returned to Xie Anran's inn and sent away the sword to pick up the book, she hugged An Ran and cried bitterly. An Ran didn't know what was going on, and she refused to tell him, but asked him if he still remembered Xie Zhen's old house near Luoshan. An Ran had grown up at that time, and had visited Uncle Wang there many times, so he naturally remembered it. Yan Ran hired a carriage and asked Uncle Cui to put An Ran on his back and run towards Luoshan under An Ran's guidance.
In the afternoon, they finally found a place called Qingshui Town near Luoshan, and Xie Zhenyu's old residence was just south of the town. There are three houses in total, and there is an old couple looking at the yard. Although it has been 17 years, the house is still clean and tidy because someone is cleaning. The old couple was placed there by Xie Zhenyu, and after looking at the house for decades, they were very happy to see that someone had finally returned, and they could finally say goodbye to their hometown.
Yan Ran and Uncle Cui spent a day cleaning up the three rooms in the middle of the house, so that An Ran and Uncle Cui lived in the room on the left and the room on the right.
After dinner, An Ran sat under the lamp and looked at Yanran: "What happened?" β
Yanran sniffed and said with a smile, "It's nothing big - he has a concubine." β
An Ran frowned: "He was willing to let you down...... Can you still laugh? β
"From yesterday to today, my tears have flowed, and trying to think about it for him is actually not a bad thing. He is also twenty years old, and he is the emperor again, so there is no reason not to marry a concubine. Minglang had four concubines at the age of fifteen, and he had no reason to keep it. β
An Ran sighed: "You think about others again." But what about your heart? Who will comfort? β
Yan Ran's tears burst out of her eyes again: "Comfort yourself." Brother An Ran, you are in Tanggu, you are in pain, don't you comfort yourself too? In this world, after all, everyone is lonely and can only rely on themselves. β
An Ran held her hand and was speechless for a long time.
Yanran massaged her leg meridians as usual, and let Uncle Cui carry him into the room. I also went into the room and lay down.
Or maybe it's a new place, she can't sleep after tossing and turning, but she feels more and more pain in her chest. Could it be that heart disease is contagious? She laughed to herself, got dressed up, and went out into the courtyard. Because it was the end of the month, there was no moon in the sky, and the stars were dim. She didn't want to see only the four corners of the sky, so she jumped on the roof of the house and stared silently in the direction of Yongzhou to the south.
She sat down until the sky was white, and then she jumped off the roof with a chill and threw herself on the bed and fell asleep exhausted.
Early the next morning, she went to the pharmacy in the town to buy medicinal materials for treating leg diseases, and when she was carrying the medicine bag, she was bumped into by someone, and the paper wrapped in the medicinal materials was torn, and the medicinal materials were scattered.
She didn't even look at who hit her, she just hurriedly lowered her head to pick it up. A pair of hands stretched out next to her to help her pick it up, and then she looked up and saw An Yefeng dressed in black, although he was wearing half a mask, but his mocking expression and dark and turbulent eyes, she still recognized it at a glance.
She was stunned, wasn't he missing? Why is it still near Yongzhou?
An Yefeng didn't look at her either, and said sarcastically while picking it up: "I knew that you could fly out of the sky when you walked, and you didn't need a carriage to hit you, you could kill yourself!" β
Yan Ran was silent, picked up the medicinal herbs in one place, stood up and said, "If you want revenge, wait a month and come back." I'm going to heal a man's leg and die. Can you wait? "The lives of dozens of members of his family, she is afraid that she alone will not be able to compensate.
An Yefeng looked at her face and frowned: "What if I can't wait?" β
Yanran sighed: "That'sβjust wait for me to send the medicinal herbs back." Can you wait? β
"You live here?"
There was no need to conceal it, and she pointed to the south of the town.
An Yefeng nodded: "I'll pick it up in the evening." β
Yanran turned around and continued to walk back, An Yefeng stared at her back thoughtfully and did not move for a long time.
In the afternoon, he drank the boiled medicinal juice to An Ran, and used steam to help him smoke his legs and massage them, and An Ran felt that the sensation in his legs had recovered a little. At night, I was able to stand up by holding on to the table. At this rate, it will be almost recovered in another month.
At night, Yanran still couldn't sleep, so she sat on the roof and stared south. At some point, An Yefeng, dressed in black, sat beside her. Yanran sighed and said, "Just don't let me die too ugly." Do it. β
An Yefeng stretched out his hand and pinched her neck. Her eyes looked at the dim starlight in the thick night, and she felt relieved.
She doesn't struggle, she doesn't shout, she doesn't talk nonsense, she just begs for death. An Yefeng's eyes flashed and he let go.
She choked a few times and asked, "Why?" β
"Your heart is dead, and there's no fun in killing you."
Yan Ran was silent.
"I heard that Guo Tinglan slept with him - is this the reason why your heart is dead?"
Yan Ran rested her chin on her knee and said, "It will be fine in a few days, time is the best doctor." β
An Yefeng played with the two rubbles in his hand for a long time, and suddenly asked: "**** really has such a great charm, it can make the living want to die, and the dead want to live?" β
"Didn't you say you've been through the years? Why don't you even know the taste of ****? β
"I don't need to love those women, they will post themselves."
Yanran smiled: "It's your luck." It's better to be confused, at least live happily. β
He stopped talking.
But she said without a match: "The Daoists of the Divine Palace said that I would be alone in my life, and they all said that it was nonsense. But I feel more and more that what the Taoist said is true. β
"I hate that I'm a woman, I always want to rely on it in my bones, and I always want to grab some warmth. In fact, it was disappointing again and again. Alas, why bother! Brother An Ran said it well, it is better to live a lifetime in the clouds and wild cranes. β
He stood up suddenly, threw her into the courtyard, and ran away with a "whoosh".
This moody guy! Yanran glanced at the roof angrily, but she couldn't lift her spirits to jump up again.
Three days later, Tairan made a special trip to Qingshui Town to pay respects to An Ran.
Yan Ran had already taken refuge in the corner of a liquor store in the town. Prepare to sit here for the rest of the day.
The elusive An Yefeng actually found her again.
The two didn't say much, just drank one glass after another. It didn't take long for Yan Ran to lie on the table and get drunk.
When she woke up, she found that she was already at home, and An Ran was looking at her worriedly. She rubbed her aching temples and asked, "How did I get back?" Calmly he ...... He's gone? β
An Ran said: "Tairan left, it was a man in black who threw you at the door, and Uncle Cui carried you back." Yanran, are you drinking? β
Yanran shook her head: "No, I just drank it once in a while." "Actually, it feels good to be drunk, at least the day of confusion can easily pass.
An Ran sighed: "Yanran, the state of calm is very bad, I'm a little worried." It must be that Jingran is still young and cannot reach his strength, and if he falls, the situation will be very serious. β
"Brother An Ran, isn't there you? You can also be an emperor. While her brain was still confused, she asked what was in her heart.
On the way back from Tanggu, she had secretly thought that if An Ran agreed to be the emperor, then she and Tairan might not have to wait even five years.
An Ran smiled bitterly: "The reason why Xie Zhenyu exiled me instead of killing me is because he knows that I am cowardly and can't be the emperor." Yanran, I couldn't do it then, and I can't do it now. β
Yanran didn't speak.
An Ran turned the wheelchair under him and said, "Tairan left some things for you, come to the hall and take a look." (To be continued.) )
