Chapter 072 - The Frontier (Seventh Update)
At the end of May, Wu Yuzhong set off from Jinghu South Road and rushed to Beijing.
He is not in good health as before, and he is ready to return to Beijing to recuperate for half a year, and he will be transferred next year, and it is estimated that he will go to a more remote place.
He doesn't care very much, it's the same everywhere he goes, it's all for An Cangsheng.
On August 14, Wu Yuzhong arrived in the capital. His parents and family returned to their hometown at an early age, and the house in Beijing was sold. He cut off contact with his family for many years and did not return to Zhaozhou.
After arriving in the capital, Wu Yuzhong lived in an inn.
The inn is facing the street, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and the street is prosperous and lively, and it must not be quiet.
Wu Yuzhong can't sleep, and he likes lantern riddles, and he must have a lively time during the three major lantern festivals every year.
Just out of the door of the inn, I saw a lot of lanterns in the shopkeeper, some people watched and guessed, Wu Yuzhong also stopped and looked at a few.
For a scholar like him, who has read poetry and books, these riddles seem particularly naΓ―ve.
Wu Yuzhong's left leg is a little disabled and he walks bumpy. Seeing that the lantern riddle was so beautiful, he was about to move elsewhere, but his arm was suddenly grabbed by a person.
When he turned around, he saw a young boy.
The boy is born more handsome, with soft facial features, like a girl's family.
However, the boy looked at Wu Yuzhong carefully, and then there was some water in his eyes. The orange light of the lantern fell on the boy's eyes, and the mangs were shining.
It's a girl dressed as a man!
Wu Yuzhong was shocked, and for some reason, he was anxious to break free from this girl's hand.
"Dad" The girl's voice was a little choked, and she looked at Wu Yuzhong fixedly. As if he recognized him, he looked very excited, both surprised and sad.
Wu Yuzhong was even more puzzled, and he didn't understand what the "Baba" in the girl's mouth meant.
He was suspicious.
"Luo'er!" Subsequently, two people chased after him.
Hearing the voice, Wu Yuzhong's back tightened, and the whole person froze.
After more than ten years, this voice is a little old, but it is still the person he remembers.
His scalp was numb, and he looked over slowly.
Purple Silk Walk Barrier. A slender figure. It's like Wen Yi when she was young, and the sound is more like.
Then, Wu Yuzhong saw Wen Lexi again.
At this moment, he was confused. Forgot to move.
Wen Lexi followed. The voice and body shape are similar. The purple silk step barrier must be Wen Yi.
"Luo'er, what are you running around?" Wen Lexi frowned. Nervousness caught up with Lu Luo.
Following Lu Luo's hand, Wen Lexi's eyes also fell on Wu Yuzhong.
To be honest, after more than ten years, Wen Lexi doesn't know him a little, but he is familiar.
It's familiar.
Wen Lexi frowned, trying to find this person out of his mind.
Wen Shi only cared about Lu Luo through the purple silk step barrier, and only looked at the person Lu Luo was chasing after a while.
After seeing it, Wen Shi was also shocked, his face turned pale, and he almost became unstable and was about to fall.
Lu Luo hurriedly stopped her waist and helped her.
Wen's legs went limp.
"Oh, you're Wu Hanlin!" Wen Lexi suddenly remembered who this person was.
This person is Wu Yuzhong, the Hanlin who was married to the Wen family back then.
After eighteen or nineteen years, he has become old, with gray hair on his head, much older than Wen Lexi.
"Wu Hanlin?" Lu Luo also came back to his senses and asked rhetorically.
Suddenly, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone's hearts were so shocked that they forgot to beat, and nothing was appropriate or superfluous.
There is only silence.
Under Wen's eyes, a warm wetness floated up.
***
The lantern festival that night was completely ruined by Lu Luo.
Wen Shi turned around and was about to go back, but Lu Luo and Wen Lexi had to send her home first. Wen returned home and took off the curtain, his eyes were already red.
She went back to her room and didn't let Lu Luo follow.
Wen Lexi and Lu Luo were sitting in the hall drinking tea, Wen Lexi asked Lu Luo: "What are you chasing that person for?" β
Wen Lexi didn't know if Lu Luo knew about Wen's past, so he didn't take the initiative to say it. It's just that Wen Lexi is sure that Lu Luo has never seen Wu Yuzhong before.
She was so excited that she ran up to chase Wu Yuzhong, which made Wen Lexi very puzzled.
Lu Luo also had a hard time speaking.
Do you want her to tell her uncle that the person's appearance is very similar to her father in her previous life?
In his previous life, after Lu Luo's mother died, his father had gray hair in two years, his shoulders were a little cross, his back was slightly hunched, he was not as handsome as before, and he was old, just like Wu Yuzhong.
After Lu Luo died, the only one who couldn't let go was her father. Especially after Wen's and her mother looked exactly the same, Lu Luo missed her father even more.
Dad lost his wife and daughter, and I don't know what he relied on for comfort. Thinking about it, Lu Luo felt sad.
Now that he has seen Wu Yuzhong, Lu Luo is out of control.
However, she never expected that person to be the person her mother had had emotional entanglements before.
Now it's in trouble.
Many people in Beijing know that the Wen family was withdrawn by the Wu family, if Lu Luo goes to get close to Wu Yuzhong, what will others guess?
At that time, what about her mother's reputation?
Lu Qijun will definitely be furious.
However, that was her father, her only relative in the last few years, should she turn a blind eye?
"My parents are so affectionate, is it because I couldn't ask for it in my previous life?" Lu Luo thought to himself.
Some loving couples were enemies in their previous lives, and they were drawn together by fate in order to repay their debts.
Lu Luo's parents also turned out to be in debt?
"You know him?" Wen Le was happy to see that Lu Luo's eyes were also red, and he was stunned.
Wen Le was happy to see Lu Luo like this, and secretly guessed that Wu Yuzhong had contact with them in private when Lu Luo and Wen returned to Huzhou Mansion in those years?
However, why is Lu Luo so sad? Looking at Lu Luo's appearance, he was even sadder than Wen's!
Just with contact, what is Lu Luo so sad about?
"I don't know." Lu Luo's voice choked.
She thought of her gray-haired old father. She knew that Wu Yuzhong was not her father, but at this moment, she was very sad.
"Luo'er, what are you hiding from your uncle?" Wen Lexi asked.
Lu Luo was silent.
She remembered that before her mother died, she said to her father, "You have to live longer, or you will be left alone." β
Later, it was Lu Luo who left first, and her father was alone
Lu Luo suddenly lost control of his emotions, and tears burst out of his eyes!
"Don't, don't cry." Wen Lexi was taken aback, and hurriedly comforted her, "Good boy, don't be sad, what's wrong?" β
Lu Luo covered his face with his hands, and tears flowed out from between his fingers.
Wen Lexi was completely stunned, and he didn't know what the reason was.
Wen cried, and Lu Luo cried too. When they woke up early the next day, both mother and daughter's eyes were swollen.
In this case, it was not easy to go home, so they stayed at Wen's house and prepared to go back the day after tomorrow.
Wen was in a trance.
Her bamboo horse has changed from a young man to a pulsatilla, and she has been stimulated more than Lu Luo, and she has long forgotten to ask why Lu Luo recognized Wu Yuzhong.
On August 18, Lu Luo and Wen returned to Lufu.
