Chapter 55: The Prestige of Uncle Respect
() I couldn't sleep all night, I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning.
There's been so much going on lately that it's a mess on my mind. I yawned and yawned and still couldn't sleep.
Yang Xiuyi lay on his back next to me, using his arm as a pillow, breathing long and quiet. Xia Yuelou was lying on the other side of me, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she looked like she was overwhelmed. Wei Zhen is still in his dream, calling his father and mother from time to time, Hua Xixue seems to be in his dream, and he is reluctant to come out. Qingchan is also lying on her side, with her hands together under her face, very quiet.
I crawled lightly next to Wei Zhen and touched his head, which was still very hot. Thinking of that dream, and then remembering the painful experience of his door being destroyed, I couldn't help but sigh.
Raise your eyes? Hope, this wilderness is overgrown with weeds, and there should be a lot of medicine to cool down. If Wei Zhen is allowed to burn like this, I am afraid that the mind of this five or six-year-old will be burned again, and he will become a baby by then, and I am not interested in changing diapers for him.
As a sorcerer, I have studied witchcraft and medicinal herbs. There are many herbs that have a cooling effect, and I wandered around the plains and found several herbs that I was satisfied with. When I was about to return, I saw a fruit tree in the distance, whether it was poisonous or not, pick a few first, and if it was not poisonous, I would give them breakfast, and if it was poisonous, I would eat it myself.
The sky was getting brighter, the morning fog was thinning, and I returned with a bunch of things in my arms. Before he got close, he saw Yang Xiuyi's back sitting upright, and there was a trace of loneliness in the thin clouds.
I took a few steps forward, and was about to speak, when his body stiffened, and he suddenly turned around, his brows were very tight, and he was slightly surprised to see that it was me, and finally looked straight at me, as if he wanted to see through me.
I was stunned: "Why are you ......?"
Before I could finish speaking, I could not see how he flashed in front of me, and I was pulled into his arms, and the fruit I had worked so hard to pick up fell to the ground.
His arms were very strong, and he hugged me tightly, and his heavy and rapid exhalation fell on my ears, crispy and numb.
I panicked and tried to push him away, but he wouldn't let me go, hugging me tighter, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He asked hoarsely, "Where have you been?" ”
I said, "I went to collect medicine for Wei Zhen, and I picked up some fruits by the way." ”
He asked, "Why don't you tell me?" ”
I said, "You're sleeping." ”
He buried his head in my hair and said in a low, muffled voice: "I thought you were gone." ”
I said, "I'm leaving." ”
He didn't speak, he still hugged me, and seemed to gradually calm down, and after a long time, he let go of me and looked at me coldly: "Where are you going?" Looking back at Yunshan to apologize for sin with death? ”
I bit my lip, didn't reply, and squatted on the ground to pick up the fruit.
He said, "I won't stop you if you want to die, but you die like this, don't you think you're going too far?" ”
I looked up: "What?" ”
He sneered: "Do you think that those people died because of you, so you are worth a life, but have you thought about it, those people's families and relatives are also affected by you, you can die a hundred, how are those people good?" Shouldn't you make amends? ”
I looked at him in amazement, and he continued: "If the person who died is the pillar of the family, and when this pillar falls, and their family collapses, don't you think you have a duty to carry the burden of their family?" ”
I muttered, "But I don't have that much ability......"
He interrupted me: "Is it because you don't have the ability, or have you never had this idea?" ”
I can't answer.
He also said, "Do you think you are a selfish, cold-blooded and ruthless person? ”
He has been cruel to me, he has been gentle to me, he has been angry with me, he has laughed at me uninhibitedly, he has sneered at me, he has spoken softly to me, but he has never been so ...... to me as he is now. Scorn.
His voice was cold, like the frost on the Nine Heavens Xuan Mountain, and his eyes were like extremely cold ice edges, piercing straight into my heart, making me cold from head to toe.
He didn't let me go, and continued to ask, "Do you still want to die?" Do you think you are qualified to die? If you die to escape your responsibilities, can you be at peace after death? ”
I squatted on the ground, he looked at me condescendingly, his eyes were so cold, his tone was so cold, and his whole person was so cold.
I thought of the old man with a misty sideburns, and when he got the news that morning, his five-year-old grandson was like a rag doll with strung off, slumped on the ground, all his internal organs had been removed, and only an empty skeleton remained. The old man immediately went mad, hugged the corpse and cried, and no one could pull it away, and finally fainted to the ground. Neighbors said that the old man's son died in the army in his early years, and his daughter-in-law ran away with others, abducting the family's surplus grain, leaving only the grandfather and grandson to rely on each other. Now it's a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, how can this desolation be understood by outsiders.
Afterwards, it was the master who placed the old man, and I didn't dare to ask, or think about it, let alone visit him. Yang Xiuyi asked me if I had never had this thought, no, I was just running away because I was afraid.
Every time I get into trouble, Master will take care of the aftermath for me. I have always said that he bullied me and oppressed me, but in fact, he was the best for me, so that I often wandered out of the mountains, almost half of the rivers and lakes, but in the end I couldn't even bake a fish.
I hung my head, and for the first time I felt so useless, that I didn't even have the courage to take it. Maybe it's really as Yang Xiuyi said, I'm cold, selfish, and ruthless.
I resisted the urge to cry and stood up from the ground: "I know what to do, thank you Uncle Zun for your teachings." ”
He looked at me quietly, and after a long time, he sighed slightly, and his tone became soft: "Do you want to look back at Yunshan?" ”
I shook my head: "No, I'm sorry. ”
When they returned to Liuxuancheng, everyone was silent all the way.
I don't know what Hua Xixue saw in Wei Zhen's dream, so she volunteered to carry Wei Zhen, who was unwell, back, and Qingchan said goodbye to Yang Xiuyi at the city gate.
It was nearly noon, the sun was high, and the city was in turmoil.
The ground was covered with dark paper and white and yellow paper flowers. Passers-by all held weapons in their hands, including knives and swords, and some women who carried baskets to buy vegetables had shiny kitchen knives in their baskets. Musicians from several music shops strolled along the streets with their apprentices, playing mourning music to mourn the souls of the dead.
Xia Yuelou walked next to me, holding my hand slightly tight, and when I looked at her, she smiled at me.
In fact, it has only been two days since this qiē happened, but I have experienced a long nightmare. The only thing that remains unchanged is that the two one and the five are still deserted. I went straight to my room and slept, I didn't take a shower, I didn't take off my clothes, I lay on the soft couch and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was dark, Xia Yuelou was not in bed, it shouldn't be too late, I felt my hungry stomach and wanted to find something to eat. When I walked to the door, my mind suddenly became clear and clear, and I heard two voices, a man and a woman, coming from the courtyard.
Xia Yuelou's voice was extremely soft: "Although she seems to be strong, she carries more on her shoulders than anyone else, will she be too strict when you say this?" ”
Yang Xiuyi said lightly: "It's better than watching her die, as for what is on my shoulders, I will accompany her to bear it." ”
Xia Yuelou sighed slightly: "Since you are interested in her, why don't you show her your heart?" ”
Yang Xiuyi chuckled: "It's not cost-effective to scare it away." ”
Xia Yuelou groaned: "Then, do you want to tell her about my business?" ”
Yang Xiuyi said "um": "There is a girl Laoxia." ”
Xia Yuelou sighed again: "Since you know that you have worked on me, why do you force me?" ”
Yang Xiuyi's voice was still faint: "I'm afraid that she will think about it again, this kind of thing like you should be her favorite thing." ”
Xia Yuelou sighed again: "The sad thing that bothered me together has become an interesting thing for you." ”
I silently folded back to the soft couch, lay quietly, blinked and stared into the air, and suddenly saw the twin butterflies that I had moved from the head of the bed to the soft couch.
Maybe I'm still dreaming, I thought.
When I think about it again, maybe all I heard was a dream whisper.
I continued to think that I would be able to wake up from my dream after another sleep.
I finally thought, even if it's not a dream, even if it's not a dream, even if it's not a dream...... Forget it, don't want 7, go to sleep.
