The yellowish lamp swayed gently in the wind under the eaves, like a dream that gradually woke up.

He knew that his life was just a big lie, a dream that made him ashamed and ashamed. When he first woke up from the big dream, he looked at the thick juice-like night, slowly lowered his hand, and walked silently along the corridor step by step.

In this world, there are so many embarrassing things, the end of heroes, the twilight of beauties...... The list goes on and on. However, there has never been one that can make people feel dull pain like the one he carries, as if he was poured two bowls of cold water in the cold winter of Sanjiu, and even the bones are frozen, and he can no longer wait for the day when he melts.

He walked forward with a deep and shallow foot, and his steps were staggering, like a drunken man.

At night, the Chengguo Mansion was quiet, and only a few gnats came from nowhere, making a slight chirping sound among the grass. Mrs. Wan couldn't shout at him, her heart was anxious, she spit out two mouthfuls of blood and stained her veil red, only to feel that her eyes were black and she didn't have time to get up, and she had fainted on the pillow.

There was a panic in the house, and Ruyi couldn't find Yan Huai.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day, when the mist was thick and the sun was about to rise, that he found Yan Huai, who was full of alcohol, in a corner outside Ning'an Hall. Yan Huai rarely eats alcohol, but he is not drunk with a thousand cups, and Ruyi has never seen him drunk. But this time, he was really drunk.

Ruyi lightened his steps, approached slowly, and called "master", and the young man lying on the cold stone table slowly opened his eyes.

Xu was drunk once, or because he had slept on the stone table all night, his face was as white as snow. There is not a trace of blood. If he was shocked, he didn't know what he had said to Mrs. Wan yesterday, and why he had come here to drink all night. I just hesitated and didn't know what to do.

In a daze, the drunken young man had already stood up straight with his eyes on the table, his eyes were as clear as a spring, and he looked at Ruyi and smiled, "What are you doing in a daze, let's clean up the wine jar." ”

With that, he withdrew his hand. Strode away over Ruyi.

Ruyi was stunned and couldn't come back to his senses, and when he walked a long way away, he turned his head to look at it in a hurry, but saw that Yan Huai had already walked away with a tall posture. He let out a long sigh. Ruyi approached the stone table and lifted up the scattered wine jars one by one.

By the time he packed up and went to the room to look for Yan Huai, Yan Huai had already bathed and changed his clothes. Get dressed.

He couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?" ”

Yan Huai lowered his head and flipped through a few letters on the bookcase. Without raising his head, he replied, "There is a very important matter that must be done." The wine didn't seem to be exhausted, and as he spoke, his voice had an unusual laziness, but the words that came out of his mouth seemed to have been thought over and over in his heart countless times. He raised his head, looked at Ruyi fixedly, and said with a faint coldness in his tone, "I will be back in three days at most." In the past three days, you have watched the affairs of the house carefully. Grandmother's medicine. What you need to use, you just have to think about it. ”

Ruyi is slightly stunned, and the head of the jaw should be.

Half an hour later, Yan Huai went out alone.

It wasn't until late afternoon, when he got his opinion on Tulan, who was sent by Yan Xian to ask about Mrs. Wan's condition, that he knew that Yan Huai had never brought auspiciousness when he went out.

They couldn't guess the master's thoughts, so they had to coax Yan Xian on the one hand, and wait for Yan Huai to come back worriedly. Fortunately, he said that he would return in three days, and he did return in the evening of the third day. In the past three days, Lu Kong has been staying in the Yan family to extend the medical treatment for Mrs. Wan. When Yan Huai came back, Mrs. Wan's condition had also stabilized, but she could not be cured, and her life would eventually end.

After Mrs. Wan took the medicine and fell asleep, Yan Huai went to see her, and only stayed for about a quarter of an hour, and then he went out and turned around.

No one knows where he went or what he did during those three days. Ji Xiang Ruyi asked two questions quietly, and asked him to perfunctory.

Soon the twilight was closed, and it was time to hold the lamp.

Meals began to be set up everywhere in the house, and Yan Huai went to Ning'an Hall. Yan Xian hadn't seen him for a few days, lest he would risk his life like last time, although he didn't say anything, he had already been worried and didn't know what to do. Seeing someone at this time, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his face, and said, "Brother, how many days hasn't you slept in Ansheng?" ”

This time, her complexion was a little worse than the last time she saw her.

After she finished speaking, she hurriedly invited Yan Huai to sit down, and asked the dumb woman to make tea, saying: "When Ah Man came last time, he specially brought me the medicinal tea, I heard that it was developed by Sister-in-law Lu herself, and it can be used as ordinary tea on weekdays, but it has great benefits, replenishing qi and nourishing the body." ”

Yan Huai smiled and sat down according to her meaning, took the teacup, lowered his head and took a sip: "I can't taste the smell of medicine." ”

Yan Xian was full of smiles when she heard this, and said a little proudly: "This is natural, Ah Man thinks that I am tired of taking medicine, where is I willing to let me even eat tea is a mouthful of medicine." ”

She and Xie Shuning are very compatible, the two are very close, Yan Xian has no scruples when she talks about her, she should be joking, not to mention in front of her brother. She also knew her brother's thoughts for a long time. After a slight pause, she hesitated and said, "Brother, Ah Man, her mother and brother will go south in a few days......

"Yes......" Yan Huai put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, there was no fluctuation in his eyes.

Yan Xian couldn't help but be surprised, and said angrily to him: "Brother, you are really, although there are many things at the moment, but this is also an important matter, why don't you know what to do?" She looked at him with hatred, "When she is really gone, you will have no drama to sing!" ”

From now on, one south and one north, where can things still be done.

She is really looking forward to the success of the two of them, and in the future, she can give birth to a big fat nephew before she goes to see her father, so that she can leave without regrets.

But listening to her words, Yan Huai, who was sitting on the chair, did not change on his face, only lowered his eyes and was silent.

Yan Xian pushed him, "Could it be that you are looking at a girl from another family again?" ”

"Hey, you don't know this even if you don't go out?" Yan Huai sighed, "The news is better than me." ”

Yan Xian was surprised to ask after hearing the first half of the sentence, and after listening to the second half of the sentence, her heart was relieved, and she couldn't help but scold him: "How can you be a brother like this, scaring me for no reason!" ”

Yan Huai shook his head, and immediately the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile: "In two days, I have a long trip to do, but I'm afraid it will take ten days and half a month to come back." ”

"Brother takes good care of himself." Yan Xian nodded, still worried in her heart.

Yan Huai picked up the cup of tea again, rubbed the delicate cup after drinking it all, responded with a smile, and then suddenly proposed: "Seeing that it is summer, the summer lotus in the Surabaya River is about to open, I bought a house on the bank of the Surabaya River, the place is not big, but it is elegant, and the surrounding scenery is good, do you want to go over and live for a few days?" It's time to escape the heat. ”

The Surabaya River is only half a day's journey from Kyoto, be careful, with her body is fine, Yan Xian can't help but feel a little moved.

"If you want to go, I'll send you there myself before I run an errand, and when I'm done, how about going there to see you directly?" Yan Huai Road.

Yan Xian became more and more excited, and couldn't help but bow her head slightly, and responded.

Yan Huai smiled and ordered to go down, let the dumb woman help her pack her luggage, and set off after two days while it was not too hot.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the top of the moon.

Yan Xian told him to go off topic, and when Yan Huai came out of Ning'an Hall, she slowly remembered that she was obviously talking to him about Xie Shuning before, and couldn't help but be annoyed, and said helplessly to the dumb woman: "He is calm, this is almost killing me......"

Outside Ning'an Hall, the second quarter moon bent like half a piece of remnants, hanging over the cold night sky.

Yan Huai bathed in the clear light, stood outside Yan Xian's house, stared at the rickety old figure reflected on the window lattice, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.

He didn't go back to the room, but quietly left the Chengguo Mansion.

In the dead of night, he hurried along the long street, dressed in black and almost blending in with the night.

At the same time, Xie Shuning, who had just watched Song fall asleep, had just left the upper room and went to his room. Xiao Qi didn't enter the inner room, only Qingfei followed her into the door and helped her make the bed. Xie Shuning took the small silver candle scissors on the table, cut the wick a little brighter, and said, "It's still early, take the book and show it to me." ”

Because she ate two more snacks at night, she was uncomfortable, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Suddenly, Qingfei handed over the book, and she leaned on the head of the bed and turned it over.

It was easy to get a little sleepy, her eyes were hazy, and she suddenly heard Qing Fei calling in her ear: "Miss, Xiao Qi said, Cheng Guogong is here." ”

"......" Xie Shuning rubbed her eyes, only to think that she had heard the wrong thing, "This will be?" ”

Qing Fei nodded.

She fell asleep and threw away her book and got up.

Visiting late at night, I'm afraid there will be something big.

She just pushed the door out, and saw Yan Huai standing under the porch. Qing Fei and Xiao Qi retreated to the side, leaving only them to speak. They are not people who follow the rules, and they are afraid that it is a big deal, so no one cares much about the side.

Xie Shuning approached and asked in a low voice, "But what's the matter?" "Lukong is still there, could it be Mrs. Wan......

The lights under the eaves were not extinguished, the moonlight was bright, and Xie Shuning's face gradually became clear in his field of vision.

Yan Huai suddenly lost his mind, and the heart in his chest was "pounding".

"Nope." After a long time, he shook his head, "I just suddenly remembered that I haven't said goodbye to you yet." ”

Xie Shuning's heart was slightly relieved, and said, "There is still a practice meal." ”

Under the dim light, a smile appeared on the young man's beautiful face, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance to eat." Xie Shuning was stunned, and immediately heard him say again: "I have an important errand to do, and I will leave in two days, but I am afraid that I will not be able to come back in time." ”

After that, he looked sideways at the crescent moon in the sky, and suddenly said with a smile: "There is really no way, and I can only do it...... Just wait for you to get married in the future, and then invite me to eat and drink in the next post. ”

He tried to laugh, but the hand hanging at his side couldn't help but tremble slightly. (To be continued......)
