Forever is also very short-lived
Tan Xiang excitedly threw herself beside Wu Ye'er: "Xiao Ye'er, your letter is finally here, it seems that he is still worried about you in his heart, come, let me see what he wrote." ”
Wu Ye'er clenched the letter into a ball, stuffed it to Tan Xiang, and stood in place crying: "How is it possible, it shouldn't be like this, my ability shouldn't be wrong, my senior brother won't die, how is it possible, it's clear that I'm the only one who died, why is this happening, I obviously didn't do anything wrong, no, I want to go back, I want to go back." Wu Ye'er had some emotional breakdowns.
Tan Xiang didn't expect things to be like this, obviously she was here to share the joy with Xiao Ye'er, she quickly smoothed out the letter and looked at it quickly, suddenly as if she had been struck by lightning, her face was as white as paper: "How can this be?" What should Xiao Ye'er do? ”
Liu Jing just came out of the study, still babbling something in her mouth, and just happened to encounter this scene, she asked nervously, "What's wrong?" Why are you like this? What happened? ”
It's night now, and most of the people are asleep, just Tan Xiang, a night owl, and Liu Jing, a good student, are reading at night. Wu Ye'er wiped her tears, tried her best to suppress her crying, and was not ready to make a noise to others, and lit the lamp with her other hand to clean up the big box she brought when she came.
"See for yourself, I can't tell." Tan Xiang's eyes were red and she said.
"How so? Hurry up and wake up the sisters, you can't let Xiao Ye'er do stupid things. ”
At this time, everyone in the dormitory was woken up, and several people took turns to read the letter, until the last person read it, and his hands trembled and he couldn't hold the letter paper as light as thin paper.
He Yan, who has always been not strange when she sees things, cried: "Xiao Ye'er, don't think about it, it's easy to encounter danger when you rush at night, wait for tomorrow, I'll ask them to find a few thousands of miles of horses and go back with you." ”
"It's all my fault, I should have found out a long time ago. Obviously Senior Brother is so good to me, I shouldn't doubt him. As soon as I felt that something was wrong, I should have gone back, it was all my fault, my fault. ”
"Xiao Ye'er, don't be like this, I'll be distressed, I'm going to cry if I can't do it." Rosie said.
"Ask for leave and go back with Xiao Ye'er!" Zheng Li slapped the table, looked around, and made up her mind to say: "Xiao Ye'er is our Jinlan sister, we have blessings and hardships, we must help her." ”
Tan Xiang clapped his palms: "Yes, that's how it should be." I have a relationship with the palace chief, so it doesn't matter how many days off you take, you can rest assured. ”
Rosie, who was crying, hugged Wu Ye'er: "Xiao Ye'er, don't think about it, otherwise what should I do?" ”
Wu Ye'er stopped packing the box: "Thank you, I'm much better now, don't cry little Rosie, help me pack the box together...... Do you want to bring this...... What about this? ”
Rosie didn't know that there were so many things in Wu Ye'er's box, until she finished packing the box, and there were a lot of extra items on the bed: "What should I do with these?" ”
Wu Ye'er glanced at it: "Sisters, come and see if there are any things you need, these are all brought to me by my senior brother from all over the world." Wu Ye'er picked up a clay figurine: "If you like it, pick it up, don't be polite to me." ”
Tan Xiang was a little incomprehensible: "Xiao Ye'er, aren't you confused?" How to look like you will explain what happened. ”
He Yan secretly pinched Tan Xiang and said to Wu Ye'er: "I still have a place, put these things in me, when I am free, my sister will take them out and divide them." ”
"I'm so confused right now." Wu Ye'er looked at them blankly and said, "Trouble everyone, let's go and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow morning." The sudden news made her a little unacceptable, but she still retained a glimmer of hope in her heart, after all, her ability was not missed, maybe the news in the clan was wrong.
Liu Jing said: "Xiao Ye'er, you have to remember that no matter when you still have us. ”
"Uh-huh...... Good. Wu Ye'er lay on the bed, forcing herself to sleep, and when she opened her eyes, the whole dormitory was in a circle to watch her sleep, and she wanted to say something, but a few hands touched her forehead comfortingly, covering the gap in the quilt.
The ancestral land of the Wu clan is hidden in Wucheng, the most prosperous city in the Wu Kingdom, and the location is several days away from the Lingtai School Palace. To go to the Wu Clan, you need to break into a Protector Fog in the valley, this fog can only be passed through by special methods, except for the Wu people who lead it, the rest of the people who trespass will get lost in it.
After walking out of the fog, you will see a fairyland-like scene, and the air is also filled with the aroma of flowers and fruits mixed together, thinking that their little leaves have been living here, they have a sense of intimacy with everything around them.
After walking for a while, it is the inside of the Wu clan. The Wu clan is full of orderly clansmen, everyone is doing their own duties, and there will be a sense of institutional rigor there, which makes them can't help but put away their lazy attitude. Even Xiao Si, who serves tea and water, treats his work like a machine. Compared to any other place, it is lifeless and devoid of the slightest human touch. The surrounding buildings are extravagant, from the wood used in the house to the wood used for the furniture, and the tea set is worth a thousand dollars. No wonder folk say that the Wu clan is richer than the royal family.
He Yan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, Xiao Ye'er's family is so rich, her family has nothing else but money, and she can't give Xiao Ye'er other help.
Wu Ye'er's arrival surprised the Wu people, Wu Ye'er saw that there was no white silk hanging around, she was overjoyed, and she was a little relieved, okay, the senior brother actually dared to use this method to trick her back, if he was caught, he would have to be beaten hard. However, when she asked where Senior Brother Wufeng went, no one answered, and she was vaguely not allowed to look for it. Her mood had become anxious again. Noble status is also beneficial, even if there are more of them, they don't dare to block Wu Ye'er's way. The passage was smooth all the way, Wu Ye'er stopped a cleaning servant outside the senior brother's residence, and asked him directly about the situation, the servant's eyes dodged, and he couldn't say a word.
"Get out of the way! If you don't say anything, I'll go in and see for myself. ”
Wu Ye'er walked directly to Senior Brother Wufeng's residence, and found that the room was ajar and open, and someone had obviously entered. She froze for a moment, then strode in. The interior was obviously much more furnished than before she left, with her calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, pen, ink and paper messily placed on the table, on which she was painted laughing, and in the futon there was a puppet she was holding and sleeping. She didn't know any of this, and she couldn't imagine how much her senior brother missed her in her absence.
Wu Ye'er breathed a sigh of relief, no answer was the best answer for her, and suddenly a middle-aged man walked out of the corner and asked in surprise: "Ye'er?" How did you get back? ”
Wu Ye'er was in a rough mood, and as soon as she went up and down, she was afraid that what she said would become a reality, so she asked carefully: "Dad, where is the senior brother?" Could it be that you have learned to play like me? ”
"That kid is dancing phoenix...... He died a few days ago. ”
"Impossible, then why haven't I seen anyone wearing linen and filial piety." Wu Ye'er shouted: "You just want to cooperate to deceive me!" Senior brother can't die, he will definitely live to old age. ”
"But that's how it happened, you have to accept the reality, Wufeng is really dead." The middle-aged man said calmly.
"Senior brother, he is so strong, everything in the Wu clan can do it, his talent is stronger than me, in the imperial court, our Wu clan can set the throne, and no one dares to provoke our Wu clan in the rivers and lakes. You say, you say, how can my senior brother die? Wu Ye'er looked at this expressionless father angrily.
The middle-aged man looked helpless: "What you said is right, but I don't have to lie." However, the child Wufeng did not die from the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court, nor did he die from the conspiracy of the rivers and lakes. ”
"Then you say! How did he die, it can't be old age, right? Senior brother is still so young, and his health has always been very good, and he has no hidden diseases. If you don't tell me why, I think you're lying to me! Wu Ye'er spoke sharply, trying to find a place where the middle-aged man could not stand in theory.
The middle-aged man was silent for a while and said, "Do you remember the Star Spirit Grass?" Your senior brother has been thinking about what you said, and after you left, he searched for Xingling Grass all over the world, and finally found it in a dangerous situation...... But when I came back, I was almost out of breath. ”
"How is it possible, the Star Spirit Grass is a legendary immortal grass, it can't exist at all!"
The middle-aged man sighed, shook his head and said, "Ye'er, if you don't believe me, just come with me." ”
"Where to go? Are you going to see my brother? Wu Ye'er asked blankly.
"Go to the mourning hall to see your brother's body, that kid Wufeng, there is only one breath left when you come back, and you force me not to tell you. Alas, I still broke my word. The middle-aged man walked out of the room, but the words that stayed in the room were like a bolt from the blue.
Wu Ye'er didn't believe the words of the middle-aged man at all, even if it was her father. Senior brother likes her the most, no matter how capricious her reasons are, senior brother will try his best to complete it, and the two of them will not get tired of talking together for a day. Senior brother also knew that asking for Xing Lingcao was a joke she said, it didn't exist, he would never go to great lengths to find it, and this joke was a year ago, and she hadn't left at that time. Even if the senior brother went to look for her, he would definitely let her know, and he liked to see her full of anticipation.
Tan Xiang wanted to persuade her, but she was frightened by the murderous aura condensed into substance on Wu Ye'er's body.
Coming to the mourning hall in the clan, the middle-aged man sighed and turned to leave. Wu Ye'er stepped forward to look at her senior brother, and gently picked up the calloused hands, how familiar these hands were, she had been beaten a lot for her, and she had carefully touched her face. The only difference is that these hands are no longer hot, and its owner will no longer say, Xiao Ye'er, you are back.
The sharp-eyed He Yan pointed to a place and whispered, "Xiao Ye'er, look, that." ”
Wu Ye'er looked at the place He Yan pointed to, and found a small grass, glowing with faint blue starlight, as if it would not be exhausted, showing its own beauty. This used to be Wu Ye'er's favorite plant, she knew it didn't exist and asked her brother to give her one all day long, and now that favorite plant was lying in her hand, and that favorite person would never come back.
Several sisters all looked at Wu Ye'er and didn't move, like a statue without a soul, just holding the star spirit grass and kneeling in front of the dancing phoenix spirit in a daze.
"Senior brother, why are you being so nice to me? Even if it exists, you shouldn't take it at risk? You know that you are the most important thing in my heart. Wu Ye'er sobbed quietly at first, and then her crying became earth-shattering, and the suppressed emotions of these days suddenly exploded.
"Why? I don't want you to be so good to me, it's useless to blame me, you didn't expect you to have an accident, if I go to the school palace later, won't you die?. ”
Wu Ye'er couldn't believe it, but the truth forced her to give in. The senior brother is gone, and he lost his life for her past willfulness, all because of her.
Wu Ye'er didn't know how long she cried, she still cried in the Wu clan at first, and then she was carried to the carriage to cry. Several sisters took turns to comfort Wu Ye'er, and finally waited for Wu Ye'er to cry tiredly, and used her thighs as pillows to let Wu Ye'er lie down, looking at her sleeping face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Ye'er cried and fell asleep when she was awake, and she was still crying when she was dreaming, all the pain and grievances, sadness and self-blame, were like liquids, which could only be finished by crying. Her heart was about to break, and the person who loved her the most died. He seems to be a shameless thief who steals all the good he has for himself and leaves him with nothing in the end.
Several people in the carriage took turns to take care of her, and Wu Ye'er was not polite, she ate when she was hungry and slept when she ate. Her heart is empty, and she urgently needs something to fill it in order to feel better.
When they returned to the dormitory, it was already night, and there was no night curfew in the school palace, and many students took advantage of the night to come out in groups to play. Wu Ye'er took advantage of their inattention and slipped out alone, and saw that this scene was a little sighing after vicissitudes.
There was a man in red walking in the crowd in a chic manner, and suddenly seemed to see a familiar face, turned around and leaned his face over: "Hey~ Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" The circles under his eyes were red, as if he had just cried. ”
That was Wang Cong, Wu Ye'er saw her acquaintance, her mood was a little delicate, she lowered her head and pretended to cry a few times, choked up and said, "I was bullied!" ”
"My mother? Who dares to bully a flower of my six arts, junior sister, you tell your senior brother which of the eight lambs dares to bully you, and the senior brother will help you make the decision. Wang Cong rolled up his sleeves and said angrily.
Wu Ye'er obviously cried dry, but at this time, she couldn't help but really cry. Wang Cong's sudden concern made her feel that there were still many people who loved her in this world. She can't just cry and be sad, she should cheer up for herself and for the sake of those who care about her. But now it's better to cry one last time, she leaned on Wang Cong's shoulder, sobbing for a while.
"Senior sister, don't just cry, but say the name of the eight lambs, and I'll call the third senior brother later, so I can give the eight brothers some color."
Wu Ye'er suddenly burst into a smile, with red circles in her eyes, and smiled sincerely: "Thank you, senior brother, if you want to say that someone bullied me." It's not that you bullied me, you have ignored me for so long, you must have forgotten about me and found another little sister. ”
He gave Wu Ye'er a "chestnut": "Little junior sister, I haven't seen you for many days, you are a lot more lively, and you even dare to make jokes about your senior brother." ”
Wu Ye'er glanced at the flowing crowd, then at the sixth senior brother and said, "Sixth senior brother take me to play?" First of all, I don't have any money. ”
