Since that conversation, Yu Wenyong's attitude towards me has improved, although he will still sarcastically mock me from time to time, but at least he is no longer as bad as before, and secretly embarrass me.

Streamers flying, a sunny summer, we quickly rushed to Chang'an's nearest Huazhou, still living in the pavilion, before entering the pavilion, I asked Du Quan: "Du Gongzi, do you know what day it is?" ”

Du Cheng said: "June 12." ”

I thought, "June, it's a good season for roses to bloom." ”

Then he looked at the sky above his head and whispered in the breeze: "Today is a special day." ”

Yu Wenyong raised his head and said with interest: "What's so special?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "What's special is that I think it's a special day, it's a special day." ”

Yu Wenyong smiled suddenly, and only spit out two words, "Boring." ”

But Xiao Jianqing echoed: "Today is indeed a special day. ”

I asked the same thing as Yu Wenyong, "What's so special?" ”

Xiao Jianqing's smile was as faint as the light of the sky, "Especially because it's a heart-wrenching day." ”

But I heard him add: "When I wait until I escort the fourth prince back to Chang'an, my task will be over, and when I think that there is still a day away from Chang'an, I will have to wait another day." It's heart-wrenching that I'll be free soon, but I'm still wronged to stay here today. ”

I was speechless.

The moon is white, and the candle shadow is red. I groped out of the room, and Yu Wenyong suddenly said vigilantly: "Where are you going?" ”

I didn't feel angry and said: "Don't worry, I didn't want to escape, this pavilion is full of your people inside and out, can I escape." I'm just hungry and want to go to the kitchen to get something to eat. ”

Yu Wenyong scolded: "You deserve it, who told you not to eat dinner." ”

The kitchen was supposed to be closed, but I strongly asked the kitchen lady to give me some more time before she reluctantly agreed. The kitchen lady thought I was Yuwen Yong's family, although she didn't know Yu Wenyong's identity, but she also knew that he was not small, not to be offended, as Yu Wenyong's family, I naturally didn't want to offend, so I let me go.

I made the noodles by myself in the kitchen, beat an egg, sprinkled some chopped green onions, and a bowl of green onion egg noodles was completed. At this time, Xiao Jianqing also came to the kitchen, but he came to find wine to drink, and paid, unlike me, because he had no money on him, he was cheeky and didn't give a single one.

Twelve, though it is not a full moon, the moon will not be round, but it will be bright and shining.

I went to the small courtyard with my face, and I wanted to find a stone table to sit on, but the pavilion was shabby, and I couldn't find a stone table, so I had to find a place to sit under a big tree with a transparent light.

When I sat down against the trunk of the tree, I noticed that there was also a person sitting on the other side of the tree, and I only heard his clear voice say, "What are you doing here after cooking noodles and not going back to your room to eat?" ”

It turned out to be Xiao Jianqing, I breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a condensed voice: "Because Yuwen Yong is inside." "On this special day, on this special moment, I don't want to spend it with him.

Xiao Jianqing, who was facing away from me, turned around and said meaningfully: "Xiao Qingqiang, listening to the name, you should have been born when the roses bloomed in June, and today you cooked noodles again." Why, this is longevity noodles. Today is your birthday? ”

I didn't say anything, but I acquiesced.

The branches and leaves are slanted, the shadows are shallow, and Xiao Jianqing's face is shrouded in a faint layer of moonlight, "Look at you like this, there must be a sad story behind your birthday." Just as every strong man has a strong woman behind him, every strong woman has a story behind him, and every story has a listener behind it, am I fortunate enough to be your listener? ”

I bowed my head and said silently, Xiao Jianqing was very gentle and patient: "I don't mind being your audience, what do you mind?" Some things are not good in your heart for a long time, at least there is a little benefit to saying it, and when you are old in the future, you will have the capital to show off to your children and grandchildren, and when you are young, who listened to my story was moved to a mess, proving that your life experience is not so lackluster, and there are still a little advantages. ”

Under the light, his gaze was as warm as a lamp, making people unconsciously shaken, "Don't worry, I will rot in my stomach and I won't say it." ”

I said slowly: "The only time I have a birthday in my life is with my mother. When I was 10 years old, she was bullied by a villain, who was so powerful that we couldn't help him. My mother was very painful, and what was even more desperate was that at this time, it was reported that my father, who had been away from home for many years, had children with another woman in another place and started a family——"

I paused, trying to control my sad and trembling voice, "At that time, she had the will to die, but she couldn't leave yet, it was my birthday in a few days, and she wanted me to have a happy birthday." She felt very sorry for me, her family was so poor that she couldn't even open the pot, and she never gave me a birthday. The family couldn't afford noodles, so she went to a neighbor's house to borrow them, and a Luhua chicken raised at home rarely laid an egg, and she was very happy and brought it to me to make noodles. On my 10th birthday that year, I was really happy, I ate longevity noodles for the first time, I haven't eaten anything good since I was a child, I just think it's really the best thing in the world. ”

"It's like this." I compared the noodles in the bowl with my fingers, "There is an egg floating on the noodles, sprinkled with green onions." I still miss that taste to this day, and when I grew up, I made it myself many times, but I don't have that taste anymore. The bowl of noodles made by my mother can only remain in my memories forever. ”

"After that day's birthday, she committed suicide the next day, there was a lot of blood, I was so scared, my mother didn't finish a few words with me and choked. I cried all the time, and after crying, I made a decision, I didn't tell anyone about my mother's death, I silently cleaned the blood stains in the house, and went to the back mountain in the middle of the night to dig a pit, digging my hands were full of blood blisters, but I didn't feel pain at all. I dragged my mother's body there and buried it, and then I took all the valuable belongings of the family and sold them, and took the money to the pharmacy to buy medicine that would make people sleep. After doing this, I ran to tell the villain who bullied my mother that my mother wanted to see him, and the villain was so stupid that he went with me without thinking too much. When I got inside, I smiled and gave him a bowl of water, and he drank it, and then he fell unconscious. I took the knife that my mother killed herself and plunged it into his heart, and in order to prevent him from suddenly waking up and calling for help, I also tied his mouth with a cloth and locked the door. ”

There seemed to be tears in my eyes, and I tried to raise my head to keep it from falling, "After that, I ran away, and I walked and went, and never went back." I don't even remember where my home was. ”

"Well done." He didn't accuse me of how terrible I was, my hands were bloody at a young age, and the killing was ruthless, but he still looked at me so warmly, "Eat noodles quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold." ”

I took the chopsticks and lowered my head to eat noodles, tears fell down my cheeks into the bowl, and while eating, I said, "This is my second birthday, but I didn't expect it to be with you." ”

I couldn't stop the tears, I wiped my tears and tried to show a smile, "No, how can you be so sad on your birthday, you should be happy." ”

So I laughed and sang while shedding tears, "Tonight and night, a dream of the passing year." Thinking of relatives and going away, I am sad about flowers and moons, and I am sad about wine. ”

"Yesterday's death will eventually pass. It is useless to be sad, so why be sad. Work hard to add food, don't live up to the years. ”

"Life is short, and cherish it, and cherish it. Work hard to add food, don't lose the year, don't live up to the year......"

Just when I was about to lose my song, another voice sounded:

Young youth is happy

Riding horses

The end of the sword

and when the water is poor

Sit and lie on the flowers

There is a misguided path in the world

A sword to settle the storm

Don't be afraid of clouds covering the day

There is always a time when the clouds open and the moon shines

Forget it

If you get too much hatred, you will be easily hurt

The heart is calm and spacious

Something to enjoy

Look at the picturesque rivers and mountains, flowers like snow

Good times are not to be disappointed

Something to enjoy

Look at the picturesque rivers and mountains, flowers like snow

Good times are not to be disappointed

……

My attention was drawn to the singing, unconsciously forgetting the sadness, he sang seriously and attentively, his eyes warm and bright. Originally, it was just a delicate face that seemed unusually good-looking to me, but the more I looked at it, the better it looked, even Chen Qian's elegance and handsomeness, Chen Xuan's handsomeness and excellence, and Yu Wenyong's handsomeness and profundity were not as good as his Xiao Shu Qingyi at this moment, like bamboo and the moon.

At the end of the song, he said gently: "Today is your birthday, and this song should be my birthday gift to you." ”

I came back to my senses and asked, "What's this song called?" ”

He said: "Gentleman's Walk"

Then, when it was his turn, he asked me, "What's the name of the song you just sang?" ”

I didn't care and said, "I don't know, I just sang it on a temporary basis." ”

"I'll give you a name." He thought about it for a moment and said, "It's called "And Zhen Xing", how about it?" ”

I looked at the faint smile in his clear eyes, like moonlight, and unconsciously said a word, "Okay." ”

The shadow of the moon floated, and the breeze blew through the trees, blowing a wisp of cloud hair on my shoulder, and at the same time waking my head. I remembered what he said during the day, and I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why do you say that today is a heart-wrenching day, and your words during the day will not be empty words." ”

He was stunned, then looked away and turned to the blue sky and bright moon, "Three years ago today, my beloved girl left me. ”

Looking at the faint pain between his eyebrows, I suddenly felt a little dazzling and asked, "Why did she leave you?" ”

"Because, she's in love with someone else." A faint voice, with a hint of sadness.

My heart sank, and I didn't know what to say, "She left you because she didn't have a vision." As the saying goes, if the old doesn't go, if the new doesn't come, you will meet a better girl. ”

"I know, I just need time." A soft sigh.
