(Chapter 94) Jiangnan Smoke and Rain (44)
"Why don't you speak?"
"Am I annoying you?"
I raised my head and drank a glass of wine, and smiled bitterly, "I promised Chen Yi, I said I would save him, but in the end I killed him, hehe......"
"Do you think he blames me? Wait for the Netherworld, is he still going to work against me, targeting me everywhere? ”
"When he comes to the next life, after drinking Meng Po soup, he may still remember this hatred, you don't know how calculating he is......"
"In the next life, maybe we'll become neighbors, and I'll live on his left and he lives on my right.
"We may not be able to speak, we may not be sarcastic to each other, we may not fight for something together, we may just be strangers......"
I raised my misty eyes to look at the person sitting across from me, and asked him with a smile, "You may not know, I just smashed a small peach pit on him, and he looked at me horizontally and vertically for a lifetime, ha, don't believe it, it's really a lifetime, it's about to be a lifetime, just a lifetime for more than ten years, a lifetime...... How can a life be so short? ”
"I want to kill Beren, and Beren died because of me, and I should be happy when I clap my hands and celebrate...... However, I only feel sad. ”
I put my hand down and quietly poured another glass of wine.
"Qingqing Ling on the cypress, Lei Lei Jian in the stone. In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler. Fighting wine and entertainment, talking thick is not thin. Drive the horse, the game is like Luo. Luozhong He is depressed, and the crown belt is self-suo. Changqu Luo Jia Lane, the prince's mansion. The two palaces are far away from each other, and they are more than 100 feet away. Extremely entertaining, why should relatives be compelled? ”
As I read it, I tapped the rim of the cup with a chopstick, and when I finished reading it, I picked up the wine cup and drank it all.
"Who knows how sad I am? Only this Du Kang. ”
The man on the other side suddenly moved, he reached out and took my flask, lightly filled it with a glass, and then drank it up.
I watched him move, slapped the table, and laughed, "Okay, you should be my confidant!"
However, I don't know which word touched my full heart, the smile on my face froze on my lips for a moment, I looked at the blurred figure opposite, my eyes gradually drifted away, looking at the ethereal night of the red candle lights outside the door, and a tear fell along the arc of the corner of my eye.
The person on the other side seemed to be stunned by me, and it took a long time to reach out and wipe away the tears from my face.
"Know as if you are your own body, know as if you are your own body......" I muttered in distraction.
"They...... How can you do that to me......"
"Am I now like my father and my grandmother?"
In this world, no one is immutable, there is no flower that will never wither, and there is no dream that will never fade, whether it is Cen Xi, Du Rong, He Wei, or me and Gu Yuancheng, we will all be changing, becoming even unaware of ourselves.
I've always known this, I've always known it, but when the day that was about to change suddenly and silently broke into my life, I suddenly began to feel at a loss, I began to be nervous, I began to be afraid, and I began to think about the past over and over again.
I fantasized that it was all my delusion, that it was just an insignificant chapter in my countless nightmares, but the more drunk I got and the more blurred my consciousness became, the more sad I felt.
"Ever." I took a sip of wine, held back the tears in my eyes, and said to the stranger, "I guess when I was five years old, I used a little trick to go to the White Crane Academy to study. You don't know how bad the people in there are, almost all of them are the sons of high-ranking officials, they have a golden body, they read more than me, they are better than me, they are even taller than me......"
"When I first entered the academy, their favorite thing to do every day was to play tricks on me."
"I don't dare to do anything to them, I'm afraid that they will go to the master and complain, and then my grandmother will punish me for it, and besides, I have more important things to do than them."
With that, I took another sip of wine.
"Later, they didn't dare to bully me, because there was someone who would secretly vent their anger for me every time they bullied me and toss them to death."
"Sometimes when I am humiliated, he takes my place."
"He is the same age as me, but his family background is different from mine, he is a real prince and grandson."
"I know why he doesn't fight back, and he always secretly does these things for me. He's just, he's afraid of embarrassing me......"
"So I tried my best to study and practice martial arts, I didn't want him to be humiliated because of me all the time. Sometimes the weather is cold, my hands are full of blood sores because of the cold writing, and sometimes I pestered my master to teach me martial arts, and at the end of the day, there are almost no intact places on my body...... He would always show up at the most opportune time, rub my medicine, give me a hand stove, give me encouragement, and comfort me. ”
"He said, Xiao Qingzhi, you will definitely become a great person, the ministers bow down, the history praises, and no one dares to do anything to you."
Tears welled up in my eyes, and I hugged the flask and cried.
I was finally going to be like that, but the person who took me to tease my classmates, make me tea, and bear the punishment of the master for me was destined to be left behind in the old years, along with the thin and small me at that time.
Emperors and generals, family entanglements, interests, and imperial power, these have finally become a chasm that we can't cross. Follow-up
A soft sigh suddenly sounded, but it seemed to toss and turn, and I cried like a breakdown, and I cried silently.
In a daze, I don't know how long I cried, I don't know how much wine I drank, and when I couldn't support it anymore and lay on the wine table, I laughed stupidly, "Actually, Cen Xi and Gu Yuancheng are the same bastards, scoundrels!" Wasting my feelings ......"
"I should have smashed him with a few more peach pits and smashed them together!"
The headache and dizziness kept pricking my nerves, and when it was completely dark in front of my eyes, I muttered to the stranger opposite, "You look like Gu Yuancheng, but he should have left...... Sorry ......"
The white-clothed young man silently looked at the drunk person in front of him, his glass-like eyes were shimmering, he listened to her whispering, listened to her angry scolding, looked at the tear stains on her cheeks, he suddenly understood, it turned out that she was such a timid and fragile person, every step she took forward, every drop of blood she stained, was a nightmare that she couldn't break free.
So she would go to worship Song Xiao, so she risked being suspicious of Emperor Qin to save the child, so she always let him go again and again, intentionally or unintentionally.
is so tormented, should you step into this officialdom in the first place?
There was a sudden sound outside the wine shop, and the young man in white frowned, got up and went out to investigate.
"It turned out to be you."
"Naturally, it's me." The boy with a green shirt smiled slightly.
"How long have you been listening outside?" The boy squinted.
When the boy in Tsing Yi heard this, he sighed lightly, "It's been a long time, so long that every low cry of her has sunk into my heart." ”
The young man's eyes turned cold, and he said, "You should take her back, this is not a place for her to stay." ”
"She can stay anywhere in the world." The eyes of the boy in Tsing Yi were also cold, "As long as she wants." ”
The young man in white snorted coldly and walked away.
The boy in Tsing Yi didn't look at the direction where the young man left, he just stood by the door and looked inside, looking at the small figure shrouded in dim yellow light, the soft breeze blew through the jade jue on his waist, and the sound of jingling bells was crisp and pleasant.
"Oops!" I rubbed my forehead to the fullest, gasping in pain.
The consequences of a few days of hangover are so tragic that I now regret that my bowels are green. Sure enough, the ancients were right, wine is not a good thing, and I will better use it less next time.
"Childe woke up?" Seeing me sit up, Xiao Er walked over happily, still holding a bowl of pungent decoction in his hand.
I subconsciously stepped back, frowned, and asked, "What's that?" Quick, take away 1"
When Xiao Er heard this, not only did he not take it away, but handed it to me, "This is a sobering soup, and our shopkeeper specially ordered me to boil it for you." ”
"I see." I smiled at Xiao Er, took the medicine bowl and swallowed it with a twisted eyebrow.
"How's it going, do you still have a headache?"
I shook my head and said to him, "I must have caused you a lot of trouble these days, I don't know if I can give you the money for the wine?" If not, count them all and I'll give them to you. ”
"No, there is already a son who has paid for you, and he left a message for you to say that you can drink it if you want, but you can't forget that today is the time to return to Beijing."
"Which son are you talking about?" Although I already had the answer in my mind, I couldn't help but want to confirm it.
Xiao Er shook his head and said, "I don't know who it is, he didn't leave a name, but he wore a cyan dress, and he was very handsome, just like Childe." ”
Sure enough, it's Du Rong, hmph, what does he want now, does he want to please me? I'm not going to give him this chance!
"Ben Gongzi's wine money Ben Gongzi pays for himself, and his money has nothing to do with me." I stuffed the silver in my pocket into the little second-hand, "More than that, as a thank you for taking care of me." After saying that, he left directly.
"Hey, Childe!" Xiao Er looked at the two heavy ingots of silver in his hand, and wanted to cry without tears.
If the shopkeeper knew that he had received money from his guests, he would not be allowed to give him a few strokes.
I didn't go directly to Cen Xi after I left the liquor store, but kept wandering around the street, and to be honest, I was a little embarrassed to meet him after the events of that night.
In fact, Cen Xi didn't do anything wrong, and so did Du Rong, but I couldn't accept it all of a sudden, and in the final analysis, it was my reason.
"Childe!"
Suddenly, there was a call from the front, and I raised my eyes to look, "Xiaohu?" ”
