Chapter 54: Jade Twilight Cloud
I'm Jade Twilight, the most pitiful woman in the mouth of others. I don't know who my parents are, I only know that I was sold to the Jin family as a child daughter-in-law, and I worked hard day after day, feeding horses, chopping wood, doing laundry, and cooking, but I still couldn't meet the requirements of my in-laws, and the so-called husband, holding a string of rock sugar gourds all day long, played with a bunch of children in the mud at the door of the house.
Once, while chopping wood in the mountains, I met a strange person. The man was dressed in a white shirt, with an arm exposed, and a strange pair of shoes on his feet. This must have been a poorer man, and I dragged him to the cave where I used to rest, and made a fire.
When the man woke up, he said a series of things that I didn't understand. I didn't dare to answer, so I could only shake my head desperately. There was a look of pity in his eyes, and he recognized that I was mute.
Since he still has injuries and can't move around freely, I often bring him some sweet potatoes and leftover cakes from home. I will always remember the look in his horrified eyes when I asked him to change his clothes. He shook my arm and laughed, "So you can talk!" ”
Changing into a coarse cloth robe, he is handsome, and people can't take their eyes off it.
He asked me to tell him everything about this world, dynasties, royalty, folk customs, etc. I didn't like to talk, so I brought him a few books I had hidden under my pillow.
He taught me to write, and he taught me some strange language, telling me that his name was Cangyuan.
I still remember his determined look when I told him I had no parents and no future. His words were engraved on my heart and changed the course of my life.
He said, "Jade Twilight, listen up. The world is beautiful and dirty, and no one can despise you except yourself. A woman's life should not just be about having children, husbands and children. You have your own value. And look at other people's suspicious eyes like ghost fires, and boldly go to your night road. ”
One day, he told me that his injuries were healed. He's going to go on his own night walk. At that moment, I found that my peaceful heart lake was flooded with many waves, and I was reluctant to give up. But I knew that I would never be his harbor.
The day before he left, a villager who had gone up the mountain to chop firewood broke the scene where I was reading with him. That was the worst beating I ever took when I came to Jin's house. The salt-soaked leather whip kept swinging at me, and blood was all over me.
Perhaps it was my attitude of not begging for mercy that angered them, and they actually planned to trap Cangyuan on the mountain and burn him alive. I was tied with my hands tied, watching the scene of the so-called "lover" being burned to death, and I kept crying as the smoke billowed out!
When the villagers saw that I was not repentant, they signaled to my parents-in-law to burn me to death in the cave!
In the thick smoke, a handsome young man came out, under the bridge of his tall nose, the corners of his lips drooped slightly, revealing displeasure. Even with dust on his face, he still exudes a strength that dominates the world.
"I originally thought that you would just burn me, as long as Jade Twilight is doing well, it will be worth it! But do you ignorant people know that there is a law in this world? Don't say that I'm innocent with Jade Dusk, even if I have a deep relationship with her, it won't be your turn to execute! ”
I'm used to seeing him on weekdays, and it's the first time I've seen him so angry. He didn't use a weapon, and with a few punches, the rabble scattered in all directions.
While untying me, he complained: "Are you stupid? In that situation just now, you didn't even know how to resist? Can you even speak? If your tongue doesn't work, donate it! ”
He threw down the sentence, turned and walked away.
I longed for him to stay, and opened my mouth a few times, but I couldn't make a sound. I didn't dare to stay in this cave, so I had to climb up the mountain. As soon as I found a place to stay, I heard a sound of footsteps.
He rushed in and yelled, "Can't you tell me where you're going?" I'm afraid you'll be eaten by a bear! ”
They beat me, I didn't cry, they wanted to burn me, I didn't cry, but when Cangyuan yelled, I was aggrieved and shed tears. He thought I was in pain from the wound, so he used the herbs he collected to help me apply the wound, and blew carefully as he applied it.
My tears were even more intense.
He was at a loss: "Can you speak?" ”
I watched, and said, "I'm hungry." ”
He breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "You finally spoke, wait for me." ”
It was a very happy time. After my injury healed, he said that he would take me to walk the rivers and lakes and live the addiction of a hero. Everywhere he went, he could always figure out ways to make money. For example, selling horses, for example, Mr. Bookkeeper, for example, opening a post house, he naturally likes to wander, and every time he leaves the place where he lives, he will always scatter his wealth and start over.
At that time, the entire Firmament Continent was in turmoil, and I joined an organization, and soon, I became the head of the army. As I became more and more powerful, the pleasure of fighting in all directions, and the sense of belonging that came with holding a lot of money, made me less and less want to live a wandering life, and after a drunken time, all the contradictions were stimulated. When I told him that I was going to build my own country, he looked hurt like he was looking at a stranger.
He said, "We've been together for so long, I've never known you." It's better to break up than to torture each other. ”
I agreed, without any entanglement words.
I remember his ears red when he kissed me, his bright eyes, the hairpin he made for me, and everything he did for me...... I also remember that he said that he didn't like children and didn't want to be bound by the world.
Yes, I'm pregnant. I had to be strong and build a home for my children.
When I gave birth to my first child with all my might, the midwife exclaimed in surprise, "There is another one." "It's twins!
It was also that year that I established my own country, although there were few cities and although the national strength was weak, I finally stopped drifting! I gave women supreme power, to go to court, to be an official, to enter the office. I hope that one day, the women of the entire Firmament Continent will be treated fairly.
In a war with other countries later, I was besieged in the mountains, and the jade seal of the founding of the country was also robbed! It was the heartfelt maid Xiaowan who saved my life. On her deathbed, she entrusted her two-year-old daughter to me. Out of guilt, I gave her daughter the name Yu Tianjiao and treated her like my own daughter.
One day, a familiar figure appeared in the Purple Qi East Hall.
That's the person I think about day and night! When he opened the wooden box he was carrying, it turned out to be my jade seal!
"Even the national seal can be robbed, you are too ashamed!"
He threw down a sentence and left, but his legs couldn't move no matter what! Tianqing and Tianqiong, two little dolls, one holding one leg.
The dialogue between the two little dolls is as follows:
"Is he Daddy?" "I don't know, but this is the only man who came to see my mother. Catch him, it's always right. ”
Cangyuan's face went from white to black, and then from black to red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better explain it to me!" ”
Tianqing and Tianqiong glanced at each other and cried at the same time.
Cangyuan also lost his temper, coaxed the left, and then coaxed the right. Two little dolls pestered him until midnight before he fell asleep.
He said fiercely, "You still don't explain? ”
The tears that I had managed to stop began to flood again. wiped his snot and tears on his clothes, and slowly explained the whole story.
"These two little guys, don't look exactly the same, in fact, their personalities are far from good. Tianqing loves to cry, she can show any emotion, Tianqiong is very quiet, she likes to read, and she never cries! ”
He took me in his arms and sighed, "This kind of thing as a 'divine beast' really consumes energy!" ”
It turned out that during the period of his departure, his heart has not been very happy, and in a place called Daimei Mountain, he built a Taoist temple, and he ate fasting and recited Buddha every day, but he looked like an ascetic.
Cangyun Guan is named after him and me. He kept saying that he owed me a wedding. There, I saw a strange dress. It was a pure white gauze skirt, decorated with white qionghua flowers from the shoulders down, which was beautiful.
"In the days I've been, this gauze dress was called a wedding dress."
On that day, Tianqing and Tianqiong stood in the rain of petals, smiling happily. He gave the two children new names, Jin Don't Leave, Jin Don't Worry. As for why he was surnamed Jin, he said that it was his surname in another era.
Our family of four lived in Daimei Mountain for a while, and at night, we sat on the roof and watched the stars. He suddenly said something mindless: "Twilight, there are many things in this world that cannot be explained in words. Including my existence, but also my disappearance. If one day, you can't find me, don't be sad, I firmly believe that we will meet in a special place, in another way. ”
I was so immersed in the happiness of my lost regains that I didn't think deeply about these words. By the time I came to my senses, he was gone, including the Celestial Dome. I have taken Tianqing to every corner of the Firmament Continent, I have been to the Yuan Dynasty, I have been to Nanwan, except for the Cangyun Temple, there is no trace left by him in this world.
I tried to forget this relationship with my busy life, and I did, and Beauty Villa survived tenaciously in the cracks of various countries. But in the dead of night, I always fell into deep thought, where was the special place he was talking about?
I told Tianqing, you have a younger sister, you have to remember that all the things you have must prepare a copy of your sister. Tianqing is very well-behaved, even if she eats pastries, she has to leave a copy for her sister. Tianjiao is also very filial, when she knew that I passed the throne to Tianqing, she did not show any dissatisfaction, and still dutifully worked hard for the whole country.
Maybe it's because of the years of fighting, maybe it's because of the nights, my body is crumbling quickly, and I can feel my anger being pulled away little by little. I still didn't wait for him.
But I have always believed that whether it is him or Tianqiong, one day he will return to the trajectory of my life, and I will always be happy with love.
