23. Good and evil
After settling Liang Yunshu down, Ru Sanshui began to arrange everyone's accommodation for these ten days, the Overseer's Mansion was originally half of the Luzhou Mansion, and there were not enough places for everyone to stay, even if it was squeezed, it was quite difficult.
She felt that she was not responsible for those men who were not strong and those who were very masculine who were squeezed into a room to squeeze out their feelings.
Ru Sanshui went out through the back door and passed by the bamboo forest in the backyard. This bamboo forest is based on Liang Qian's preference, and the bamboo shoot seedlings were transplanted from the wild together with the soil in the spring of this year. Among them, there is also a very narrow path that can only pass through one person, because the place is small, and it can't make any good scenery, just for Liang Qian to drill inside.
At this time, she saw a blue figure squatting in the corner, and reacted, she asked herself, is that Liang Qian? But when will Liang Qian curl up in a corner like a wounded child? This is not like the free and proud him.
She slowly approached. He was wearing the new clothes that his sister had made for him, and he was holding the white deer sword in his arms, clutching it as if he cherished it very much. She put her hand on Liang Gan's shoulder: "Why are you squatting here, are you okay?"
"It's fine. Liang Qian got up, sat down on the stone bench next to him, put the sword on his lap, and caressed it as if he had been a friend for many years.
Ru Sanshui was in a hurry to get down to business, and when he saw that he didn't seem to have anything to say, he was ready to leave. Suddenly, Liang Qian opened his mouth and asked, "Do you think I'm too naughty?" ”
Ru Sanshui guessed that it was because of his grandfather's illness, and he was a little uneasy, so he said softly: "It's nothing that boys are a little funny and funny, saying that you are just a joke, you are actually very good." My grandfather has always liked you. ”
General Liang Qian was skeptical: "Is it good?"
Ru Sanshui nodded solemnly: "Well, of course." In addition to liking to climb trees and walls, he always catches crabs and rabbits, pulls people's hair, pulls flowers and grass, doesn't like to study, doesn't take care of schoolwork, skips school and fights, is lazy and slippery, has no patience, has a bad temper, and doesn't count ...... spending money"
Liang Qian hugged his head in distress: "Ahhhh ”
Ru Sanshui smiled slightly, and didn't tease him again: "Haven't you always been very principled? You have always been very considerate of your brothers and sisters, and you have always respected your elders, and you have dreamed of defending your family and country. At least in my heart, you are the best. ”
Liang Qian stared at Bailu Sword, looking preoccupied, and didn't ask anything else, only said lightly to Ru Sanshui: "Thank you." ”
Ru Sanshui nodded and walked towards the backyard door.
"If one day ......," Liang Qian said suddenly.
"What about one day?" Ru Sanshui turned around, and Liang Gan's expression could no longer be seen through the bamboo forest.
"Nothing. He said. At the end of the words, there was a faint sigh, and it was like a bamboo leaf swaying.
The Overseer's Mansion is located in the northeast of Luzhou, and this piece of Rusanshui has been moving around a lot, and it is already familiar. Liang Qian occasionally wanted to fight cocks and race horses, but Ru Sanshui showed him the way. Although he occasionally wanted to cure his bad habits, he would point him to a place where Liang Jue was easy to pass by, but he didn't know that she pointed him to the ditch.
Sanshui relied on his kind face and familiar face, and chartered the nearest inn at a relatively favorable price, a two-story inn, and a package for ten days.
When the price was agreed, Liang Yi'an followed. He was the one who decided to stay, so the Overseer's Mansion must have his place to live, and of course he should come to help you with the three waters.
When doing the work of bargaining, there is still a man by the side, which is more deterrent. Otherwise, the weasel mouths of those profiteers can directly smell the money bag and take it away.
Finally succeeded in settling everyone down before lunch, Ru Sanshui ordered two side dishes and rice at the inn, Liang Yi'an ate with her, and they didn't say a word until they finished lunch.
After eating Ru Sanshui, he was going to pay the bill, and he was digging into his pocket, and a hand stretched out above his shoulder and put the money for the meal on the counter. Liang Yi'an paid first.
He motioned for Ru Sanshui to sit down, he had something to say to her. Liang Yi'an was very serious, but he didn't seem to know how to express it, Ru Sanshui patiently waited for Liang Yi'an to organize the language.
Liang Yi'an didn't ponder for too long, stared at Ru Sanshui's eyes and said: "Actually, I still have a question, the night Ah Bao left, after you walked out of the ancestral hall alone, you never came back. ”
Ru Sanshui chuckled in his heart.
She thought she could face the wind and rain that night, but from his simple statement, the despair and fear fell cold again. The blackened cinnabar between the eyebrows, the low-hanging spirit banner beside the couch, the cold hands of the child, the hollow underground secret room, and the hidden and old pages......
The bleak wind and cold rain wet her disguised coat, revealing the cowardice in her bones.
Liang Yi'an pinched his right hand with his left hand and rested his elbow on the table, this posture was very serious, which made Ru Sanshui feel an invisible and deep sense of oppression: "With your character, with your feelings for Bao, this kind of behavior is impossible." Others will think that you are shameless and sad alone. But I don't think you'll leave Po behind. Unless there was something more important at the time than guarding Po. ”
He asked himself and answered, "What is more important?" I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that there was only one possibility, and that was to save Bao. ”
Ru Sanshui's fingers began to chill, her lips trembled a little, and she felt as if she was the same as that day, with a fever and rain.
"There was another suspicion that day, I went back to my room once in the early morning, because I needed to go to the treasury to get Bao's longevity materials. I forgot my key and went back to get it. ”
The little second of the inn happily replied to the guests who wanted to stay in the hotel: "Unfortunately, you have to change one, today our small inn is rounded, and the two guest officers over there are wrapped." I'm sorry for you, walk slowly, and come back next time!"
Liang Yi'an: "The key was in place at the time, but I saw footprints of rain in the room. It rained heavily that day and you left without an umbrella. So there's a good chance you've snuck into my room. I'm guessing you're here for the forbidden books in the Library, right? You've seen it in the Library, and you've opened it. I tried to save Ah Bao through the method recorded in it, but you failed. ”
Ru Sanshui's hand was on his lap, but he subconsciously held his right hand with his left hand like Liang Yi'an. Her hands and feet were cold, and her lips faded, but she still stubbornly looked directly into Liang Yi'an's eyes and didn't make any answer.
Liang Yi'an paused for a long time this time, not knowing what he was considering. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Do you know why it is a forbidden object that only the heads of the family have access to? Do you know why the head of the family cannot learn any of the techniques of the monks? The day he was chosen as the head of the family, he forever banned the desires in his soul, so that he would not be confused by it, and he would not learn the art of the monks, so that he would not unconsciously break the ban, causing the mind to be destroyed and becoming a demonic thing that harms the world." ”
Ru Sanshui's mind was buzzing, she stood up forcefully, and said vaguely, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
"I've always wanted to believe that I was thinking too much, but chatting with Liang Yihe this morning, he accidentally asked me if I knew if the Liang family had a black magic weapon, or when any spell was revealed, it was black. When I asked carefully, I knew what Liang Yihe saw at that time. Ru Sanshui, let me ask you, what kind of existence do you have now? Are you still yourself?"
Liang Yi'an also stood up, he was too tall, and he had to bend down to force Ru Sanshui's eyes to look at him, so he propped his hands on the table.
He stared at her deadly, gritted his teeth and continued: "I once argued with Grandpa, but Grandpa insisted that you and Liang Qian leave the Liang family, and he thought that the secrets that the Liang family needed to adhere to and the fate that needed to be inherited had been broken. Even if I don't drive you out, you will leave yourself. ”
"When he saved Bao, he borrowed the fortune of the Liang family at any cost, and now the Liang family can't afford to suffer any more twists and turns. As a result, after your father died in battle, you really left willingly. I can't do anything about what has happened, but you, Ru Sanshui, if you do anything with what you see in the book, don't blame me for embarrassing you in the future. Do you understand?"
Liang Yi'an straightened his back, walked past her, and stopped.
"I don't believe in this kind of thing, what Liang family's mission is over, what family's qi is exhausted. I only know that I am the next head of the Liang family, and I will never allow anyone to let the Liang family collapse from now on, and I want the Liang family to continue the incense forever. ”
This time he was firm and didn't stop again.
Back at the Overseer's Mansion, Ru Sanshui was a little distracted all day, so he had to put down all his affairs and take care of them tomorrow.
She went back to her room, opened her locked box, and took out the "Soul Departure" that she had written a silent commentary, and turned it page by page, and words such as evil and treacherous filled the whole text, and even the author felt that it was not a good type, and it was not the right path.
In Liang Yi'an's eyes, his own existence is an outright threat to the Liang family.
Is there really no way to have it both ways? She can obviously use it to save people, she can obviously use it to protect herself, and she has even thought about how to use it to kill the enemy and protect the country. Could it be that it is also unclean and ominous, and only right to die with her and rest in the earth for eternity?
No, she didn't think so, it was just a spell, a spell that could save the living and dispatch ghosts, but at the cost of stripping her soul. In addition to the greater risk, it is no different from the spells of other monks, and what method it is used in is just a thought of the user.
Ru Sanshui sharpened her pen and crossed out all the words that described it as evil magic, she was already a little indignant, and the action of flipping and deleting was very fast. At the end, she also solemnly wrote:
"With yin as yang, death as life, good as evil, white as black, Tai Chi reversed, I am the right path. ”
She put down the pen, and a tear fell and hit the paper, blurring good and evil.
She doesn't want to die inexplicably, let alone die as a demon, even if there must be a day, she will die as a hero. She will surely find the perfect way to harness the soul and use it for herself.
She wanted the child who walked in front to see that his sister was an excellent, brave person who deserved his slow pace and waiting. She didn't want to let him down.
Ru Sanshui solemnly closed "Leaving the Soul". At this moment, a familiar footstep was heard.
She was at a loss for a moment with "Leaving the Soul". In a fit of urgency, she tucked it into a shelf, sandwiched between other books. As soon as he turned around, Liang Yunshu came in.
Ru Sanshui reluctantly raised a smile: "Sister, why are you here?"
Liang Yunshu was holding a small incense ball in his hand, and the agarwood overflowed from it, gurgling like a stream of water and scattering like water vapor. When Ru Sanshui sees something like smoke now, he thinks of his black soul.
Liang Yunshu smiled slightly: "I heard that you didn't feel well after you came back, so you went back to the room directly, and I heard Zhiyuan say that you are not quiet, and I saw that you had some dark circles under your eyes before, so I guess you are a little tired and insomnia." ”
She hung the incense ball on the head of Ru Sanshui's bed: "Agarwood sleeps, you lie down and rest, you will definitely be able to recover tomorrow." ”
Ru Sanshui was speechless, and only obediently took off his shoes and lay down. Liang Yunshu turned around and prepared to leave with satisfaction, but Ru Sanshui took her hand.
"Can you sleep with me? We haven't been lying down and whispering together for years. ”
Ru Sanshui said to her in his heart, this time may be the last time. You are more like my sister, but more like my mother who spreads her wings to warm me when I am weak. How fortunate I am to meet your father and mother, and to meet you again.
Liang Yunshu stroked Ru Sanshui's forehead and replied gently, "Okay." ”
