Chapter 17: Parting
The moonlight shone through the branches of the toon trees in the yard, dappled with silver glow, and the wind was as cool as water.
It was cold on the bluestone slab, and Siyu sat on the edge of the bluestone.
Her waterfall-like black hair fluttered lightly in the cool breeze, and the young man in white on the side was already well-injured.
A faint fragrance of vagueness hit, it was the girl's body fragrance naturally emanating from Siyu's body, which caused a burst of restlessness in the deepest part of his heart.
There was always a lazy look in her eyes, an indescribable tenderness, and a touch of sadness.
He tried several times to get closer to her, but every time she looked at him, she felt strange and alienated.
Although he had been recuperating from his injuries at her home for more than ten days, he and she had barely spoken a word.
The moment he woke up, he was still a little worried that the other party would keep questioning him.
However, except for the mouthy younger brother who asked a few more questions, he was immediately stopped by Siyu.
No one asked him more!
Siyu, who was sitting next to him, wanted her to ask him a few more words, but she didn't ask.
And when he asked her questions, she only answered a few words.
The depths of her eyes are as pure as the sea, and every time she looks at her, she is afraid that she will fall deep into the sea under her eyes.
He was afraid that he would be intoxicated by her and would not be able to extricate himself.
She only asked him if his injuries were better, but never asked when she was gone.
But he knew that the notice posted outside, and the silver reward for his head had soared to 5,000 taels of silver.
The family could have betrayed him to the government, and he had already received a high reward.
However, he never seemed to be afraid.
He knew from the bottom of his heart that the family would never betray him.
Because if you were to be betrayed, you would have been betrayed that night, so why wait until today.
But he also understood one thing.
If the Jinyi guard finds out that the family is covering up the fact of themselves, then what awaits the family will be one word, death!
He looked at Siyu beside him, sighed slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he might not be destined to have a relationship with her.
Otherwise, he would have killed her and her family.
Thinking of this, he finally made up his mind and said to Siyu: "Don't worry, I will leave immediately at dawn tomorrow!"
He thought that after he finished saying this, Siyu would be able to sigh easily, or just make a show and say a few polite words.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
Under the starry sky, she still didn't move, and after a long time, she brushed off her long hair and turned her face.
She said to him very sincerely: "You don't have to rush to leave, the peripheral inspection is still very strict, with your current injury, it is difficult to get off when you meet Jinyiwei!"
"But, I ......"
"Engong don't have to worry too much, although I am just a country woman, I also understand how to write the word morality, if you are affected in the future, we are willing!"
Mother Chen came out of the house at this time, came to the backyard, heard him ask, interrupted him, and added.
When the young man in white heard this, he quickly stood up and saluted Chen's mother very respectfully.
At this time, Siyu saw her mother come out, and she was a little disgusted, "Mother, the wind is rushing late, and you will have a cold after a while, and you will cough again!" ”
"It's okay!"
Mother Chen looked at her well-behaved daughter, and said angrily: "The gift that people gave you, haven't you opened it yet?"
Siyu saw the burden in her mother's hand, and then she remembered that this was given to her by the king's steward, and smiled, "I forgot it a long time ago!" ”
As the burden opened, a lake-silk azure robe shook off, which made Chen's mother's eyes light up, "Ouch, Siyu, this, this is very expensive, who gave it to you?" ”
Siyu suddenly thought of the scene of that day, and understood that this must be the long shirt that Shen Canglang paid to him for the events of that day.
She said a little angrily: "This is what someone else paid me!"
Mother Chen felt a little uncomfortable, "Oh, this is too expensive, the torn kaftan you wore is such a good thing for someone else!" ”
Siyu thought about the hateful Wang steward who had to threaten himself during the day, and said viciously: "Then what's not to do!"
Mother Chen on the side shook her head helplessly.
The young man in white also felt very funny in his eyes, and felt more and more that this somewhat brutal Siyu was really cute.
"Aren't you worried that I'm going to hurt your family? It is a capital offense to shield a wanted person who steals silver! ”
He asked such a sentence inexplicably, and even he was surprised, but he really wanted to know what she thought.
Unexpectedly, Siyu turned his back to him and did not answer for a long time.
Occasionally, the night breeze blows, and the bright moonlight sprinkles on her long hair, like silver threads blown by the night breeze, flying, and dancing.
She rested her head on her knees a little lazily, her neck and rounded shoulders white, glowing softly in the moonlight like a jade jade.
I only heard her sigh, and finally broke the silence: "I'm afraid, but thanks to your righteous rescue that day, otherwise I would have suffered something that night, and I would be afraid to think about it!"
"That's just a gesture!"
He was a little embarrassed, feeling that this little kindness was too much for the other party's family to risk death to repay.
"Without your efforts, I'm afraid that I will be insulted by that scoundrel, and I won't live in the world anymore!"
She was very indifferent when she said this, but when she heard it in his ears, she was extremely shocked, and her heart trembled, "This, it's not necessary......"
"No!"
Siyu turned his face, and he found that her big eyes showed a determined look, "I may be so poor that I only have dignity left, if I can't even keep this, I might as well die!" ”
At that moment, this man, who had been on the rivers and lakes for a long time, thought that he had been pampered in the deepest part of his heart, and he had seen a lot of charms and charms in the world, and all kinds of deceptions.
There is no one who can impress him anymore, but the weak and beautiful girl in front of him has such a resolute heart.
I'm afraid that it's not much more worried than those men with eyebrows in this world.
At that moment, the courtyard where the moon shines like water, the bright moon, the weeds are barren, the green and shiny stone steps wet by the night dew, the toon tree that has just spit out the tender green, with thick long hair, sitting on her knees, a weak and beautiful girl.
This scene touched the soft waves in the deepest part of his heart.
He wanted to take her away and get rid of the family that had made her miserable, but he knew that she would not go with him.
After staying here for more than ten days, he knew more or less about her family, understood her predicament, and sympathized with her plight.
In fact, she could have given up her brother completely, because in his opinion, if a man is involved in gambling, he and his family will be in a situation from which they will never recover.
If it weren't for his brother's gambling addiction, she would have been so capable, I'm afraid that the family would have already lived a very rich life.
It's a pity that a long-term bedridden mother is enough to make it difficult for an ordinary small family, and a younger brother who is addicted to gambling is simply desperate.
Even if there are mountains of gold and silver at home, they can't stand such a toss.
This home is like a bottomless black hole, no matter how capable Siyu is, how much money he gets back will not add to this black hole.
If he hadn't been wanted himself, he would have taken her out of the house.
In the past few days, Chen's mother has been almost crazy to find a suitable family for her daughter, and there is an endless stream of people proposing marriage, but Siyu has not seen anything.
She is an extremely stubborn person, and she has said more than once that she will never marry if she does not pay off her brother's debts.
Everyone in the world is realistic.
Her appearance has made many people admire, but when they see her family, especially the younger brother and the seriously ill mother, many people are discouraged.
At this time, the unknown insect whispered softly among the grass, and he finally made up his mind.
"I'll leave tomorrow morning, in order to thank your family for your kindness to me, after I'm gone, you can go and check the cellar again, I have left you some things, enough for your family to eat and drink!"
When Siyu heard this, he looked surprised, looked at the black hole cave cellar next to him, turned around again, grabbed his sleeve, and persuaded: "There are brocade guards around, you might as well stay ......"
"No!"
He replied categorically: "I can't stay any longer, even if I die, I have to die outside, and I will never affect your family!"
Seeing the firm expression on the face of the man in white, Siyu knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he sighed slightly, "Okay! But, benefactor, can you leave a name? ”
"What, you want to repay the favor? Pledge in person? ”
He said this in a teasing tone, but deep down he had some expectations.
It's a pity that Siyu turned his face and made a big grimace at him, "Cut, go to your spring dream, I won't marry you!" ”
After saying this, she walked past him like a deer, and his heart suddenly felt a little lost at that moment.
What's wrong with me?
He wondered a little in his heart, why did he burst out with such a thought, but he saw Siyu smiling back at him.
"We won't kick you away for as long as you live, this is your home, and you don't have to say anything in return, you can come back at any time."
After Siyu said this, he was about to return to the house.
The young man in white hurriedly stopped her and asked with a smile: "You don't want to, do you know what my name is?"
Siyu's long flowing hair, the moment she turned around, fluttered with the night breeze, under the starlight, her smile was so sweet, until she was sweet to the bottom of her heart, I heard her ask mischievously: "That benefactor, can you tell me, what is your name?"
This time it was his turn to be a little shy, and he replied shyly: "My surname is Mu, you can call me Shaoqing!"
"Mu Shaoqing!" Siyu read the name carefully word by word, smiled at him and nodded, and hopped back into the house.
The sky was full of stars, and the bright moon was like frost, stretching his lonely figure for a long time, and he knew that he should go.
It's just that tonight Siyu smiled, every move, every beautiful and lovely moment was deeply imprinted in his mind.
He wondered if he would see her again after tonight.
In fact, he had already packed his bags, and he didn't want to continue to live here, because he was a wanted criminal by the imperial court.
He was scared because he was going to implicate the family.
If that were the case, he would rather die himself than let the girl he like suffer such a fate.
Thinking of this, he was lucky, jumped into the wall, and jumped onto the wall.
The arrow wound on his body had not yet healed, and he was so painful that he squatted on the wall, and it took him a long time to recover.
But he knew that he really couldn't stay here for a moment, so he disappeared into the vast night like a big bird.
