Chapter 217: Change
Chapter 217
An Jiu hid in the official mansion, and when the attention of all the guards was attracted by Hua Rongjian, he quietly turned out from the other side.
She hadn't figured out whether to hand over the jade pendant of the Mei family head to Lu, so she didn't go to Mei Zhengjing for the time being, but changed her appearance and walked around the city.
There are many willow trees planted on the riverside of Bianjing City, the painting boat shuttles between the river in spring, the sound of silk and bamboo, it is very lively, Anjiu wandered around for a while, and found some people in the slum area downstream of the main river to set up stalls on the riverbank to solicit business on the painting boat. Most of those people sell fresh flowers. Soon after the beginning of spring, there are not many flowers, and these flowers that bloom in advance have become rare things, and they are commonly used by those Lang Jun to please the young lady in the building.
An Jiu watched the excitement for a while, then turned around and walked along a tributary.
The big painting boat here can't be opened, the houses on both sides of the river are dilapidated, and there is no good scenery to consider, so it is much more secluded.
After walking for a short while, An Jiu saw someone setting up a stall in front of him, selling wontons. The people who set up the stalls, dressed in white robes, were sitting under the weeping willows fishing. The sun shines through the shade of the trees, and the dazzling spots of light fall on his face, making it impossible to distinguish his face at first glance. The leisurely complacency in such a difficult environment made An Jiu stop.
She stood a short distance away for a moment before approaching, picking up a small low bench and sitting down.
The man heard the movement, tilted his ear, and asked as if tentatively, "Guests eating?" ”
An Jiu casually picked up a book on the table, "A bowl of wonton." ”
The man smiled happily, "Wait, guest." ”
He put down his improvised fishing rod, pressed it with a stone, turned and walked slowly to the fire.
An Jiu flipped through a few pages, and found that he could not understand the contents of the book, so he set aside and observed the young man, meeting his unfocused eyes. I found out that I was blind. An Jiu looked at him carefully, this person was only in his early twenties, and his appearance was not too good-looking, but he was fair and clean, and his bookish atmosphere made people look very comfortable.
The blind young man washed his hands and lifted the clean cloth, revealing about twenty wrapped wontons underneath. The light shone on his face, and his expression was extremely peaceful.
The wonton was put into the pot, and the aroma quickly wafted up.
Not for a while. The young man held the bowl and placed it on the table in front of Yasuku, "Guest, please use it." ”
Anjiu scooped up one and took a bite, and the aroma of wild vegetables mixed with pork suddenly overflowed in his mouth. Although the taste of this thing is not strong enough, it is light and refreshing.
As she ate, she heard the stomach of the young man opposite her growling.
The young man smiled shyly and awkwardly.
An Jiu's movements paused, and then he ate the whole bowl like a whirlwind, and asked, "How much?" ”
"Seven cents." After the young man finished reporting the price, he was afraid that An Jiu would think it was expensive. He also explained matter-of-factly, "There is a lot of pork in it." ”
An Jiu touched it, took out a dime of silver and stuffed it into his hand, and got up to leave.
She was always on it. Bought a bag of flour, cut a piece of pork, returned to the chaos stall by the river, and put things on the table. "These things are for you, and I'll eat them in a few days."
The blind young man was still immersed in the shock that Wanton sold a dime of silver one night. I didn't react for a while.
After a moment of silence, the young man hurriedly asked, "How do you call Engong?" ”
The only thing that answered him was the rustle of the river breeze through the willow leaves.
He went to the table, fumbled for the noodles and meat, and muttered, "Actually, there is only lard in the wonton......
Wonton is only worth two or three wen at most, if it weren't really difficult, he wouldn't have asked for seven wen in the dark, the first time he did something wrong, he actually got a reward from a well-wisher, he felt very guilty.
"I know it."
An Jiu suddenly spoke, startling the young man, "Engong didn't leave?" ”
"Hmm." After An Jiu held his breath, even an eighth- and ninth-order martial artist could hardly detect it, let alone a blind man who couldn't do martial arts.
"I deceive my husband by deceitful and deserve these gifts." The young man took out the silver and put it on the table, got up and gave a respectful salute.
"Take it." An Jiu said, "Forget about being stupid yourself, don't treat others as stupid as you." Do you think no one else has ever eaten pork? Or do you think you're lying perfectly? ”
The young man's face was ashamed, and his empty eyes seemed to be looking into the distance through An Jiu, "Why is that Engong still ......?"
"I'd love to." An Jiu actually just wanted to find a quiet place to stay and think about something carefully, rather than being charitable, "What's your name?" ”
"My surname is Wu, and the word Lingyuan is Yuan." Blind youth said.
"Have you read a book?" Anjiu wanted to make himself normal, so he tried to talk to him.
The former psychiatrist said that she needed to communicate with people, and needed to be exposed to more positive and sunny people and things, she felt that Hua Rongjian was very sunny, but the guy said that ninety-nine out of a hundred sentences were nonsense, but it was not as good as the blind man in front of whom she had never met.
An Jiu can now gradually understand the reason why Chu Dingjiang often comes to her for her heart, a person has a long-standing backlog of negative things in his heart, and he needs to be released, people like them must choose some people or things that are very good to confide in and vent.
"I have been studying since I was a child, and I also participated in the imperial examination once, but I fell behind." Wu Lingyuan touched the scriptures on the table and opened them on his lap, "After the fall of the family, my family suffered misfortune, and my eyes were also sick, and now I can't read." I once couldn't think about it, I wanted to go to the temple to become a monk, the master said that I was not over, and gave this scripture, so that I had nothing to think about the Buddha, saying that although the eyes are blind, I can understand the heart. ”
"You're hungry." An Jiu's gaze fell on the scripture he opened, "Why do you look so leisurely?" Because of this book? ”
Wu Lingyuan said flatly, "I once went out to seek work, but unfortunately I have no fame, no physical fitness, nowhere to use me, now I have the most, I can squander it wantonly, there is nothing else but time, why not be calm?" ”
"Are you so calm and happy every day?" An Jiu asked.
Wu Lingyuan shook his head, "Engong laughed, I am young, I could have had the opportunity to display my ambitions, but unfortunately my life has ended before it has even begun, calmly, it is just a helpless choice!" ”
Listening to his words, An Jiu fell into deep thought, and the first thing she thought about was that these noodles and meat were not bought wrong.
She feels that she has taken the initiative to communicate with people for the first time, and it has been very successful.
Ordinary girls don't run to this secluded place for no reason, and they send money and food, Wu Lingyuan didn't ask about it, and only said, "Engong is troubled?" ”
An Jiu felt that Wu Lingyuan was quite good at understanding life, so he said, "I don't know why, I rarely meet happy things. ”
"It's because of the state of mind." Wu Lingyuan really didn't disappoint her, "After the whereabouts, I became blind, and it can be said that my life has changed because of this, if I remember this matter and become a knot in my heart, I will not be fortunate from now on." ”
An Jiu thought that the trajectory of her life was also changed by one person and one thing, she knew that this was her heart knot, but she didn't know how to untie it, "Can you forget?" (To be continued......)
