Under the cascading mountains, the morning light falls on the calm lake shrouded in a layer of mist, reflecting the sparkle of the waves.

At the foot of the mountain in front of the lake, in front of a courtyard built on the mountain, there are scattered flowers blooming on the branches of several old plum trees, sparse but also scorching.

There was silence all around, except for the faint sound of the Zhengzheng piano flowing out of the courtyard.

A middle-aged man in a navy blue cotton robe is anxiously pacing back and forth in front of the closed courtyard gate with his hands behind his back.

After waiting for a long time for someone to open the door, he raised his hand again and knocked hard for a while.

"Squeak-"

With a long bang, the door finally opened slowly and hesitantly in front of him.

A round young man's face appeared behind the door, and he opened his mouth to plead with a bitter face: "I said Doctor Peng, you can go back." You...... Don't come just yet. If there's anything here, I'll have someone ask for your ......."

Peng Luojin raised his eyebrows.

"Be a master's nonsense, you slave is also ignorant! Don't you know what his current body is like? Grinding hard day after day only doubles his energy and lifespan, that is going to kill people - I can't make sense with you, you let me in, I'll tell him myself! ”

As he spoke, he forced his way in.

"Huh! Doctor Peng, wait......" Ah Lu trotted to catch up and stop him.

……

In the study with the door wide open, Han Chengji, who was originally sitting on the soft cushion, stood up with his sleeves brushed up, and the strings of the guqin on the long pear wood case in front of him were still vibrating gently.

He looked at Peng Luojin, who was walking quickly behind the bare pear trees in the courtyard, and Ah Lu, who was close behind.

"Master ......" failed to stop the rampaging Dr. Peng. Ah Lu looked at Han Chengji, who was standing in the door frame with some apprehension, like a painting.

"You don't want to live anymore, do you?" Peng Luojin stopped in front of the door, looked at the young man in front of him who was dressed in a moon-white wide robe, with a silent expression, and asked uncharacteristically and almost angrily, "How did you promise me in the first place?" You could have been healed! But look at what you've tortured yourself into now? Yes, I asked you to go back to Suzhou to recuperate, but I let you recuperate, not let you wait here to die! ”

At the beginning, I knew that I couldn't be emotional, but I was still sinking into it day by day.

It's already the end of the crossbow, but now it's even better. Just close the door. He refused to take the medicine, and even his doctor was gone!

I have never seen such a person who does not care about his life!

Peng Luo's chest rose and fell violently.

After Han Chengji heard what he said, he didn't show any signs of anger, but there was always a shallow sarcastic smile hidden in his ink-like black eyes.

Gradually. Even the sarcasm faded away. All that remains is calm.

Just like the undisturbed lake outside the courtyard.

"You should be clear. Now even you can't heal me. He said lightly, and there was always a loneliness engraved in his bones in his voice.

Peng Luojin's face changed, and his lips opened from time to time.

He clenched his fists. There was a look of persistence on his face: "But at least it can allow you to live for a few more years, at least it can reduce the pain on your body!" ”

Han Chengji looked at him for a long time before saying, "You go back." ”

It seems that there is no distinction between living and not living for a few years.

In the past few years, hasn't he lived like a dead man?

"You...... What the hell do you think! Peng Luo was anxious today: "If you have any ideas, you can tell me directly, if you don't take medicine and don't let me check the pulse, it will only delay your own body!" ”

But I heard Han Chengji say slowly: "Thank you for the past few years." ”

This sound is like the cold wind in the early morning, slightly cooling and soft.

Peng Luojin was stunned when he heard this.

He looked at Han Chengji, who was standing there, with a complicated expression.

At this moment, he saw a relief on his face that he had never seen before.

Relieved?

“……”

Peng Luojin stood in place and hesitated several times, and gradually calmed down under Han Chengji's gaze.

He finally said coldly: "The life is yours, and you should be in control." A patient who doesn't want to live, no matter how clever a doctor is, can't save him. Since you insist on this, Peng has never been here today! ”

After finishing speaking, he strode away.

Ah Lu hurriedly followed.

"You don't have to send me!" Peng Luojin said angrily.

Ah Lu touched his nose, and said in his heart I don't want to send you away, but isn't the main thing afraid that you will turn back halfway and make trouble, if I don't watch you go out and lock the door again, where can I rest assured.

But he naturally didn't dare to say this, he still had to say: "I also know that you have good intentions, but you don't know the master's temperament, once the decision is made, no one can persuade him, and only he can change his mind......"

"Is this a trifle!" Peng Luojin walked faster, and Ah Lu had to trot to keep up.

"Maybe the master will figure it out in a few days, but I don't know, then I will invite Dr. Peng ......to come over," Ah Lu smiled bitterly.

He has to smooth out this Dr. Peng's hair, otherwise he really doesn't care about the master, then how can it be good.

His eldest brother told him that the master's disease could still be cured, but it would take some time.

How can a man do it without healing?

Peng Luojin glared at him fiercely: "What are you doing when I am called?" ”

"Of course not, of course not......," Alu chuckled.

Peng Luojin snorted coldly and ignored Ah Lu no longer.

It's just that when he was about to step out of the gate of the other courtyard, he suddenly paused.

"Persuade your master!" He turned back to Alu and said in a heavy voice.

Ah Lu hurriedly responded.

"If he gets sick, tell me immediately! When the pain makes him groggy, it's not him who has the final say, it's the silver needle in my hand that has the final say-"

"Even if you don't say it, I'll definitely be the first to look for you......" Ah Lu suddenly choked up, lowered his head and said: "I'm stupid and timid, and I've always been the master who says what I do, but ...... I don't want to see my master suffer. ”

Peng Luojin frowned and looked at him. After all, he didn't say anything more, sighed and strode away.

It's really unsettling!

Ah Lu wiped away his tears and watched his figure disappear into the plum blossom bushes in the distance, his round face full of sorrow.

It would be nice if he could exchange his life for the life of his master.

……

Jiang Ying felt that her spirit had been getting worse and worse recently.

There are twelve hours in a day, and almost ten hours are spent in slumber.

Her mind was weakening with her body, and she could clearly feel that she was thinking less and less, and that she had even lost the ability to open up space.

This feeling frightened her.

She was afraid that she would never wake up again the next time she fell asleep, so she left this world calmly but suddenly.

She desperately tried to keep herself awake and didn't dare to fall asleep.

Look at the outline of the flowers and branches embroidered with thin silver thread on the translucent bed tent overhead. She struggled to keep herself focused. And the scene in front of me is still gradually overlapping in a trance.

There is no control at all.

She clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into the flesh of her palms, but even the pain became blurred.

There was a faint sound of footsteps in my ears.

Jiang Ying turned her head with great effort, and only saw a swaying white shadow approaching her in her sight.

In a trance. There seemed to be a large hand glowing with coldness, and the movement fell lightly on his forehead.

This is not the hand of Brother Jin. Brother Jin has many thick calluses in the palms of his hands. It's rough, but it's warm.

This hand is icy.

She didn't know whose it was.

Jiang Ying suddenly tilted her head to the inside of the bed, and her hand fell into the air. It was extremely embarrassing.

It took a while before it was slowly taken back.

"What time is the beginning of today?"

"First ......" The woman paused and said in a low voice, "Childe, it's the thirteenth day of the first lunar month." ”

The silence fell back on.

The sun rises and sinks.

In the drowsiness, Jiang Ying's brain intermittently appeared with many hallucinations.

It's mostly things that happened in the past.

Suddenly, she seemed to realize that these were her memories, and suddenly remembered the legend that the person would appear in front of her eyes like a horse watching things when he was about to die, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

She let out a low cry and opened her eyes.

The sight in front of me was clearer than ever.

The mind is also clear.

She looked around, and for the first time in days, she truly saw where she was.

This is a very clean but exquisitely furnished women's boudoir, with a variety of jade and rare ornaments.

In front of the Ruyi hollow screen carved from agarwood, a yellow-glazed porcelain vase on a three-legged round high table is inserted with a few white flowers that she can't name, and the slightly strange floral fragrance is mixed with the calm fragrance of the small smoker in the room with silk and rubies, and it penetrates into her heart and lungs together.

She didn't like the strong smell.

She tried to get up.

"Sakura, you're awake."

At this time, a familiar and unfamiliar woman's voice came into Jiang Ying's ears accompanied by the sound of gentle footsteps.

Jiang Ying hurriedly turned around.

The person who came was dressed in snow-blue armor and was tall.

"Sister Qingyang......?"

Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment.

Her mind had been in a state of confusion for so long that she couldn't tell where it was for a while.

"Where is this?" She asked busily.

"Suzhou." Qing Yang put the steaming small silver basin on the basin rack and said as he walked towards the bed.

"Suzhou!" Jiang Ying was shocked.

How could she be in Suzhou?

Suddenly her brain was bursting with pain, and she remembered what happened in the Mingyue Tower on Chinese New Year's Eve.

She must have been taken captive.

But why did she appear in Suzhou?

"Sister Qingyang, what happened...... Why am I in Suzhou? She grabbed Qingyang's sleeve, who was about to help her out of bed, and asked anxiously, "Someone should be looking for me, right?" Do they know I'm in Suzhou? ”

At this juncture, she suddenly disappeared, the nurse and the eldest brother Jin, as well as the elder brother and grandfather, must be crazy, right?

Qingyang was stunned by her words.

After a while, she just smiled reluctantly, looked at Jiang Ying and said, "Don't ask these questions for the time being, you will know in the future." ”

Ignore?

How could she not ask!

Jiang Ying was in a hurry, but no matter what she said, Qingyang refused to speak again, and only took her to change clothes and wash herself.

She pushed Jiang Ying to the dresser and sat down, picking up an ivory comb to comb her hair.

Jiang Ying, who had not been able to get an answer for a long time, had lost her patience, and her mind was blank with memories of the past few days, as if she was in a fog, and this sense of confusion about everything in an unknown state made her very insecure.

She abruptly stood up and rushed out of the room.

She didn't know what she was looking for, but she couldn't do nothing!

"Sakura!"

Qingyang was frightened by her sudden movements, the comb in her hand fell to the ground, and she didn't bother to pick it up, so she hurriedly turned around and raised her feet to chase out.

Jiang Ying suddenly stopped in the courtyard.

It's snowing outside.

A large pine tree in the courtyard with a thick layer of snow on the top of the verdant and dense round fan-shaped tree.

At the stone table under the tree, the man tied his hair in an ivory hairpin and wore an equally snow-white robe.

He was looking down at the blank chess game in distraction, but he raised his head when he heard the movement.

The face is like a crown of jade, weak and cold.

A pair of extremely seductive black eyes are particularly eye-catching, but they are too deep for people to see a trace of emotion hidden in them.

He stared at Jiang Ying, who was standing in the snow, his expression was sometimes dazed and sometimes shocked, and suddenly stretched out his lips and smiled.

Against the backdrop of the snow-white scenery, this smile is beautiful and gentle, and even dazzling.

"Come with me for a game of chess." He said aloud, just looking at her like this, and the smile gradually spread to the bottom of his eyes.

It seems that seeing her is the best thing.

Jiang Ying suddenly took two steps back.

She got it!

She vaguely remembered something......

He sent men to take him captive!

Jiang Ying's various speculations in her mind were complicated, and when she thought of Han Chengji's incomprehensible style of acting, her eyes were unconsciously full of vigilance.

Han Chengji saw the look in her eyes clearly.

Qingyang turned back to the room and took the cloak out to put it on Jiang Ying, but saw Jiang Ying turn around and go back to the room.

She needs to calm down.

She needed to think about where she was now.

Qingyang stood in front of the door, looking at Han Chengji with a sad face.

"Let's go down and prepare—"

Get ready......

Qingyang's eyes showed a look of struggle.

In the face of Han Chengji's order, she hesitated for the first time, and hesitated for too long.

Han Chengji had already sat down at the stone table again.

Qingyang was reluctant to move his pace.

Jiang Ying didn't cry or react, but it was beyond Han Chengji's expectations.

He thought she would at least angrily question him why he wanted people to arrest her for no reason, and why he brought her back to Suzhou.

But she didn't, she just forced herself to walk back to the room.

The more this is the case, the more it proves that she is so defensive about herself, so heavy that she doesn't even dare to lose her mind for a moment, and she must remain calm in the face of him.

She was pure by nature, and when she faced him, she was not like this.

But then a lot happened.

In these things, he made a lot of wrong decisions.

It was so wrong that it made his life a nightmare in just a few years.

He's so selfish.

Even this final decision was so selfish.

But he really wanted to end this nightmare.

There was no other way for him to redeem himself......
