Chapter Twenty-Eight: Farewell
She struggled to get up, and calmly pressed her: "You have been lying down for so many days, you can't get up all at once, you will be dizzy." ”
Yanran touched her waist: "Why haven't I lost weight at all?" She looked at Tairan in amazement: "And I'm in good spirits now, I don't feel dizzy." ”
calmly smiled warmly: "There is no other reason, it must be because of your good health." ”
The two of them had another conversation about Ahuda, about Dali, about the Assassins. After a while, the servant picked up the book and boiled white porridge and brought it up, calmly wanting to feed it, but Yanran insisted on doing it herself.
She drank a bowl and a half, couldn't stop smacking her lips, and after being hungry for more than a month, she felt that her appetite was great. If she hadn't been calmly blocked, she would have been able to drink another bowl.
Then he washed his hands and face, but suddenly he was stunned. "Brother, I've been in a coma for a month and a half, who washed my face and bathed and changed my clothes for a month and a half?"
looked at her calmly and gently: "When you were in Chimelong Kingdom, Dali did it for you." Later, when I left Chimelong, I did it for you. ”
Yan Ran was suddenly ashamed and her face was like a red cloth, and she plunged into the quilt and refused to come out.
calmly pulled her out and held her face: "Yanran, you are in a hurry, besides, you and I are just children of the rivers and lakes at this time, why bother to stick to these subtleties?" He stared deeply at her fresh and delicate face, but his expression gradually became sad: "Yanran, I have something to say to you." ”
Yan Ran gradually condensed her face: "I'll listen, brother." ”
"Yanran, I'm afraid my brother won't be able to accompany you anymore......"
Her breathing seemed to pause for a moment, and her eyes widened and widened: "Is it because of Wu Li?" What price did you pay? ”
Her heart is like a seven-hole exquisite, and she can't hide anything.
"I'm going to marry her tomorrow." He tried to squeeze out a smile, but found that he couldn't do anything, and looked at the crystal tears that slipped down her eyes, and felt his eyes blur.
"Don't, brother, I'd rather be poisoned than you sell your life's happiness!"
"It's not a betrayal, it's my willingness. Yanran, as long as you can live, I am willing to do anything. ”
He reached out and wiped her tears, but he couldn't wipe them away. And his tears are wetting his clothes one by one.
"Don't, you don't get married, don't leave me! Brother! She could imagine how difficult it was for him to beg for an antidote, but she couldn't imagine that he would pay such a price. Thinking of this, she collapsed uncontrollably: "You let me die, I don't want you to pay such a price!" I don't want to face parting again! Brother Enron is gone, Xiaodouzi is dead, my mother is dead, if you leave me too, I don't want to live anymore......"
Tairan suddenly hugged her in his arms, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Yanran, you want my life!" ”
Outside the window, it began to rain, and the night breeze gently swept the leaves, and the world was cold and gloomy.
When Yanran finally calmed down, she calmly told her about her marriage contract with Wu Li.
"Early tomorrow morning, there is a person you know who will come back to take you back to Chimelong Kingdom or Baling Red Leaf Peak, Ming Ming said that he will come to you in two years, if you go now, he will be happy...... Yanran, you have to protect yourself well and live the life you want to live. I'm here, and I'll be ...... well."
After Yan Ran cried, she became very calm, just staring at him without making a sound.
"That person is your mother's personal maid Qingcui, and now she is the master of the famous Linglong Pavilion in the Tianqian Kingdom."
Yanran's eyes widened in surprise: "Aunt Qingcui......"
"She sees you as you used to, and everything I've done here is thanks to her guidance. She was eager to see you, so came the day before yesterday and stayed downstairs with us. ”
Yanran nodded.
"Yanran, life is like a dream, but dozens of spring and autumn. My brother can't accompany you in this life, and I can't fulfill my agreement with you, so I will beg the Buddha for the rest of my life, begging him to give me an afterlife so that I can fulfill my agreement with you......"
Yan Ran remembered their covenant at Red Leaf Peak, and suddenly felt that ten thousand arrows pierced her heart. "I don't believe in the next life. I can't grasp this life, and the next life is just a dream. She looked at Tairan stubbornly: "Brother, I only want this life!" ”
looked at her with poise and sadness.
She couldn't bear to say any more, she needed time to sort out her thoughts and come up with a countermeasure, so she patted his hand: "I know, tomorrow you are the groom......" She tried to squeeze out a smile, "You go to sleep, I'm tired too." ”
Although there was still a lot to say, he felt that it was not necessary. Listening to the sound of rain outside the window, he only felt gloomy and broken, and the desolation welling up in his heart made him shrink for a moment. Then he stood up: "Tomorrow you will leave early in the morning...... I'm not sending you anymore. ”
He saw Yanran nodding. As she watched, he walked out of the room. To step out step by step is to strip her from her own blood step by step. No one saw the blood on his body.
The rain never stopped.
At the fourth watch, Yanran quietly got up and got out of bed, opened the door and went downstairs.
Not knowing where she was, she stopped under her room. The door on her side opened with a "creak" in time, and a pair of hands pulled her in.
The candle was warm in the room, and a woman in white was sitting, and the person who pulled her in was a thin, long-bearded old man.
Yan Ran took a few steps forward and fell down on the chest of the woman in white: "Aunt Qingcui! ”
Xue Linglong hugged her and stroked her back: "County Lord, you have suffered!" ”
She fell on her chest and smelled her mother. She sniffed greedily, but didn't make a sound, as if she was gathering strength.
Xue Linglong noticed something and chuckled. Yanran raised her head and sat down in her arms, and the thin old man sat down beside them.
"I know you'll wake up tonight, I've been waiting here for a long time."
Yan Ran raised her red eyes: "Auntie, my brother said that you have great powers, is there any way to stop my brother's wedding?" ”
Xue Linglong looked at Yan Ran: "County Lord, are you sure you want to do this?" ”
Yanran nodded.
"Why? Wu Li's status is not low, the princess is a prince, and she will not insult Xie Tairan. Besides, Wu Li likes him very much, and really intends to return to him. Why do you have to stop them? ”
Yan Ran raised her eyes: "I've been lying on the bed for a while, and I've thought about it for a while." The question you just asked me again and again is something I asked myself. Auntie, I have the answer now. Because I'm going to marry Brother Tairan! ”
She slowly recalled all the experiences she had had since she met him, asking herself over and over again, "Why is it so sad?" Just because he saved me? She felt that the answer was definitely not that simple. Because, in addition to the grief of loss, she also had a pain to the bone, as if she had been stripped of flesh.
Although it was only half a year, he had quickly integrated into her bloodline. She is a person who is used to being lonely and closed, but for her brother, she can live the most real and natural, because he knows all her sorrows and pains, joys and loves.
In this world, there will never be a second person who knows her so well.
Xue Linglong raised her neck and turned her head to look at the thin old man beside her.
"As you already know, he and I are not brothers and sisters...... My brother has been working for me for half his life, and I only now realize that the affection between us has long gone beyond the love of brother and sister. So I don't want to leave him, I'm going to marry him! ”
"Are you sure you don't have brother and sister affection for him, but love for men and women? Are you sure you're not jealous that Wu Li snatched her brother, but are ready to spend the rest of your life with him? ”
Yan Ran's eyes were warm, and she nodded without hesitation: "I'm sure!" ”
Xue Linglong sighed: "County Lord, I don't want you to be hurt by men like your mother, although I can also see that His Royal Highness Tairan is sincere to you, but I have to remind you again: This matter is your fault, people in the rivers and lakes, pay attention to words like a mountain." Now that someone has detoxified you, but you regret not getting married, can you bear the possible consequences? ”
Yanran said: "I've thought about it too. My brother is a person who admits death, even if he is reluctant in his heart, he will not break his word, so I will bear all the consequences. I'd rather give her my life back than my brother marry her. He deserves a better woman's love. ”
"If you die, who can he fall in love with?" Xue Linglong asked helplessly.
"God treats me unfairly, I hope that after I die, all misfortunes will dissipate, and my brother will start his own life."
Xue Linglong sighed: "Bad fate! It's bad again! She looked at the thin old man: "Brother Guwu, what do you think?" ”
The man called the bone vulture rubbed his beard and said, "Of course, it's to help your county lord rob people." ”
"How sure are you?"
"At present, there is a percent."
Xue Linglong pointed to Gu Wu and introduced it to Yan Ran. Gu Wu is her brother-in-law, the famous Gu Master of the Tianqian Kingdom, and the master of the Linglong Pavilion. Yan Ran called him an old man and saluted him.
Yanran said: "I also have a method, and I am two percent sure." ”
Xue Linglong flicked her long sleeves and was full of pride: "So, what are we waiting for?" ”
On the fifth watch, the carriages and horses from the palace to pick up Tairan filled a street.
A bunch of chamberlains and palace maids walked out of the room calmly. In front of Yanran's door, he stopped calmly. He knew she hadn't left, but he couldn't take a step back to walk in and look at her. Last night's departure was the beginning of their separation, and he lost the strength to turn back.
When did it be, low self-esteem and sadness had gripped his heart deeply.
He turned and went straight down the stairs. The innkeeper had been informed the other day that the inn had been completely emptied these days, leaving only Tairan and his guests. At this moment, he knelt in the vestibule with all the personnel and sent off the horse master.
The sedan chair in front of the door has already been prepared. Calmly walked without stopping, stepped up and sat down directly, and put down the sedan curtain. Cut off the gaze, but also cut off all the past.
He didn't bring anything, not even a sword to pick up a book, and walked towards his fate alone.
Eight big men lifted the sedan chair, the gongs and drums were beaten, the suona blew, and a group of people happily marched to the palace.
