(435), the lost man
Wu Shu turned his face away, he didn't want to meet Mo Ye's gaze at this time, not only because he wanted to use this attitude to explicitly refuse Mo Ye's request again, but also because he was a little afraid that he might really be changed by this gaze A certain principle in his heart.
When he straightened his mind a little and turned his face back, he had just moved the corners of his lips, and before he could speak, he heard Mo Ye rush to say: "Don't say that the bottle is not with you, and don't say that the bottle is buried with him." Since you can let me choose that day, it is that the bottle is still in your hand. The time you took me to the cemetery is not a few days away from now, and even if you want to bury it, it will be too late. ”
Mo Ye's words were approaching, and Wu Shu was slightly stunned.
I can dig out the bottle after you've made your choice; Besides, even if, as you say, the bottle is always in my possession, if I want to bury it, it will only take me less than half an hour to complete it.
This was originally Wu Shu's intention to refute Mo Ye's words, but when he saw the wetness in her eyes that was about to overflow, he was finally shaken.
But just because he didn't say that merciless retort didn't mean that he would waver enough to agree to her plea. Half of his crippled face made him not good at expressing his feelings with facial expressions, but in his eyes, which were like stars in the night, the coldness of the previous one had eased a lot.
"Drink the medicine." In the face of Mo Ye's repeated arguments and requests, Wu Shu almost ignored her and only replied to her with such a simple sentence.
Gently pushing the box on the table in front of Mo Ye, he said again: "It's not too early, I'll send you back later." ”
Mo Ye's spirit suddenly calmed down, she felt that Wu Shu would not change her mind, or that she could no longer come up with any self-recognizable methods, and she was confident that she could make Wu Shu change her mind.
Wu Shu saw that Mo Ye was sluggish for a long time before reaching out to the box, and he hesitated. Then he turned and left the grocery store.
He didn't go far, he stopped at the back door, and then leaned against a pillar with his back to Mo Ye in the room, tilted his head slightly to look at the moonless, starry night sky, and was silent not knowing what he was thinking—perhaps he was just used to being silent and alone like this.
Soon there was the sound of 'cooing' and drinking medicine in the room, followed by the suppressed sobs of the girls. Wu Shu's brows moved, and he finally couldn't help but didn't look back, only sighed softly in his heart.
……
In the spacious study of the Song Mansion, the conversation between Wang Zhe and Ruan Luo finally reached the second half, and it was almost over.
Ruan Luo after learning about the situation of the second prince in the palace. Just like the building given by Ye Zhengming in the pavilion in the evening, he persuaded Wang Zhe that since he had returned to Beijing, he should go into the palace to see more. Wang Zhe replied to Ruan Luo with the words he replied to Ye Zhengming.
At the end of the conversation, Ruan Luo mentioned something about Mo Ye's seemingly happy reading. Wang Zhe suddenly became a little interested again, and said that he wanted to bring all his books.
Ruan Luo sniffed out some other meanings from his thought and asked a few words. Wang Zhe finally chose to tell Ruan Luo bluntly that he was going to leave Kyoto for a while.
At the mention of leaving, Wang Zhe's eyes became solemn, which made Ruan Luo feel that he must be going to a far place when he left this time. Ruan Luo did not ask Wang Zhe where he would go. Wang Zhe didn't make it clear, the two just had a parting sorrow with each other.
chatted for a while, all of which were words of advice from the two to each other. And so on until the outside of the compound. There was the sound of watchmen banging on the street, and the two of them realized again that it was not too early, and they got up and left the study together.
Wang Zhe sent Ruan Luo back to the room first, and then he turned around and walked back to the room where he was staying, but after leaving the single courtyard where Ruan Luo lived. He hadn't gone far before he spotted the cloister a few steps ahead. There was a somewhat familiar figure moving at a very slow pace.
Because the man was walking too slowly, Wang Zhe only needed to speed up his pace a little, and chased after him in a moment, and when he looked at it, it was Mo Ye.
Considering that there are distinguished guests in the house tonight, there is an area where the street lanterns are still on, and Mo Ye's expression is a little depressed and lost under the light. Finding that the person who was approaching quickly was Wang Zhe, Mo Ye was slightly stunned at first, and then she was a little blunt and blessed, and said, "Prince Wang." ”
It was as if she had lost a memory.
Wang Zhe didn't forget it, so he felt more and more that Mo Ye had become strange at this time.
"Little sister...... Wang Zhe stood in front of Mo Ye, stared at her face, and asked, "Did something happen?" ”
Something happened and caused Mo Ye to suffer some blows in her heart, making her love very low, but this does not mean that she has lost her judgment at this moment. Although the big brother in front of him was already commensurate with his brother and sister, and although the other party's body would unconsciously reveal the suzhì of the nobles of the family, Mo Ye didn't think that he could completely rely on him now.
But although she knew it in her heart, she couldn't come up with a suitable prevarication for a while.
But then she didn't expect that Wang Zhe not only did not show a trace of displeasure in the face of her dullness and silence, but also took the initiative to care very patiently: "You...... Are you lost? ”
In fact, if you are a person who knows Wang Zhe, you must not believe that such a simple conjecture will come out of his mouth. But at this time, Mo Ye didn't think too much about his inquiry, she believed it, not the content of the words, but the feeling of concern revealed in Wang Zhe's tone.
When people are sick, their spirits will also become fragile, and that is mostly because the sick person will question the vitality of his life; And when people suffer heavy setbacks, their spirits will also become fragile, and people at this time are prone to question the value of their own existence in the world. In general, when a person loses some kind of self-confidence, they become vulnerable.
This is probably one of the reasons why humans are used to living in groups! When you are in trouble, you want help, and when you are frustrated, you also need the comfort of others. Only when both the mind and body are fully trained can we show strength in the face of life's uncertain setbacks, and we can give this spirit back to others.
The rejection of the small bottle was not the whole reason why Mo Ye felt frustrated, but it was like a fuse, picking out the bruising in Mo Ye's heart that he had been deliberately forbearance these days.
The most hated thing is that others turn over old accounts, and the most hurtful thing is that new injuries have not healed and are cracked.
Mo Ye's eyes were a little astringent, he moved his lips, and it took a long time to spit out a few words: "I...... Lost. ”
She seemed to be repeating what Wang Zhe had just asked, but Wang Zhe heard a different flavor from her words.
"I'll take you away." Wang Zhe thought about it and smiled at Mo Ye.
Mo Ye did not refuse, nor did she ask Wang Zhe how he knew which courtyard her bedroom was—although she felt that Wang Zhe was certainly not as familiar with the Song Mansion as he was with his own home.
She just hesitated for a moment, then stretched out her hand and gently pinched one of Wang Zhe's sleeves.
Wang Zhe felt that his sleeve was being tugged, glanced sideways, and then quickly turned his face forward. He didn't say a word about it, just a smile naturally appeared on the corner of his mouth.
After walking out of the road for a while, Mo Ye's mind gradually calmed down, and she finally noticed something wrong at this time, because she, the person who verbally said that she was lost, slowly remembered that the route back was not the corridor she was walking now, and the person who took the initiative to say that she wanted to lead the way seemed to be getting more and more forked.
Seeing that the lights in front of them were getting weaker and weaker, and the two of them had already walked out of the lantern-lit area of the Song Mansion, Mo Ye finally couldn't help but pull Wang Zhe's sleeve, and her footsteps slowed down, and she asked, "It seems that I have gone wrong." ”
"Oh?" Wang Zhe stopped, turned around and didn't look at the road, but looked at Mo Ye and said, "Wrong? ”
Mo Ye nodded.
Wang Zhe hesitated for a moment and asked, "Then it seems that you remember the way back?" ”
Mo Ye nodded again.
Wang Zhe sighed and said unreservedly: "Then you will lead the way." ”
Mo Yezheng hesitated, then heard Wang Zhe say again: "Actually, I was thinking about a problem just now, and I got the wrong direction because I was distracted. But despite all the effort I put into it, the answer to the question was still not resolved. Would you like to hear what I'm thinking? ”
"Hmm." Mo Ye nodded, and then said with a look of embarrassment: "If it's too difficult a question, I can't guarantee that I can give you any useful insights." ”
Wang Zhe shook his head slightly and said, "How can you expect that the problem I am thinking about will be difficult?" ”
After smiling slightly, he slowly continued: "The question is, what should a person do if he accidentally falls into a pit while walking on the road?" ”
As soon as this question sounds, it is indeed not difficult, and it seems that there is still some childlike fun in it.
Mo Ye said without thinking: "Climb out." ”
Wang Zhe didn't expect Mo Ye's answer to be so fast, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "What if this pit is very big?" ”
"Then ......" Mo Ye pondered for a moment this time, and then said firmly: "I still have to find a way to climb out, if I don't climb out, I will die inside." ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhe's mouth, and he asked, "If this person is injured when he falls into the pit, do you still have to endure the pain and climb out?" ”
In the face of Wang Zhe's additional conditions on the issue of falling into the pit, this time Mo Ye was silent for longer than before answering, but she finally gave a similar answer for the third time: "Even if you are disabled, it is better than death." ”
There was a glimmer of light in Wang Zhe's eyes, and he pondered it for a while, ready to add more conditions.
But at this moment, he saw Mo Ye, who was about to lead the way, suddenly turned around, stared at him for a moment, and then spoke not slowly, and said very smoothly: "A person with water and no food can live for ten days; Without water or food, they can live for at least three or four days; A man who was injured without food or water died in about two days after his injuries worsened. However, as long as a person does not eat or drink for a day, the body will be reduced by half. ”
