"I've never forgotten her, I'm making a fool of myself, I said I like you, it's better to say, what I like, it's your eyes!"

"I like you really, really!"

"It's not like that, that's not true. It was me who was wrong, I thought you liked Yu Wenyong, I thought you and him ...... I was dizzy to say those words. Qingqiang, I'm sorry. ”

"Qingqiang, you believe me."

At night, I lay on the bed in the inn, unable to sleep, and my ears kept echoing what Mo Ziwei had said.

Although I was too tired to think about anything, Mo Ziwei's words were like a gust of wind, blowing my heart up. I want to scatter it, suppress it as much as I can, try to escape it. But in the dead of night, it unconsciously invaded my mind, making me toss and turn, and my heart was numb.

"Sister, in fact, the insoluble antidote to lovesickness was not given to me by Yuwen Shen, but given by Mo Ziwei."

"Sister, I lied to you, am I bad?"

The words that Ah Sleeve had said before he died suddenly came to my ears, and I straightened up and sat on the edge of the bed, with the faces of Ah Sleeve and Mo Zi intertwined in my mind.

Distraught, I pushed open the door and walked out.

Mo Ziwei's room was not far from mine, only two rooms apart, I thought, and paced to his door.

I raised my hand to knock on the door, but in mid-air, my raised hand was lowered again.

I was scared, scared of the feeling of wanting to see someone but not daring to see someone. I don't like this feeling of being out of control.

There was no light in his house, so he must have slept.

I decided to go back, and as soon as I turned around and took a step, I heard Mo Ziwu's voice from the house, "Qingqiang, you didn't sleep most of the night and came here, is it just to admire my door before going back?" ”

The door was slowly opened, and in the night, Mo Ziwei's eyes were as bright as the dew of late autumn.

He looked straight at me, and I was a little uncomfortable and said, "How do you know it's me?" ”

Mo Ziwu had a faint smile on his face, "I can hear your footsteps." ”

Can you still identify someone by the sound of footsteps? I looked up and asked him, "When did you learn to recognize people by footsteps?" ”

Mo Ziwei didn't answer, just looked at me quietly, "Are you going to stand and talk to me all the time?" ”

Only then did I realize that the two of us were still standing outside the door, and Mo Ziwu said to me, "Come in." ”

Mo Ziwu lit the lamp, and the dark room suddenly had a faintly visible figure, swaying in the dim yellow light.

In this quiet night, his eyes fell on my face, and I was afraid of such a look, so I found a conversation and said, "Did I disturb your sleep?" ”

Mo Ziwu rolled his eyes and said, "Actually, I haven't slept either, I've been sorting out some clothes." ”

I raised my eyebrows in surprise when I saw his clothes folded at the head of the bed as square and neat as tofu blocks, just now there was no light in his room, and he could fold his clothes so well in the dark?

I asked him, "Why don't you light the lights when you don't sleep?" ”

Mo Ziwei's tone was as light as a cloud: "I'm used to the night. ”

"Even if you're here to disturb me tonight, I'm happy." He looked me in the eye and said with a hint of anticipation, "Is there anything you have to say to me?" ”

I said the question I had always had in my heart, "Ah Sleeve told me that the antidote to lovesickness was given to me by you, is it true?" ”

It's not that I haven't thought about this problem, it's just that Ah Sleeve's death, Gao Changgong's departure, and many things happened later, and too many changes have made me never calm down and think about this matter. Tonight, I need a clear answer.

Mo Ziwu gently gave me the answer, "The antidote was given to her by me." ”

It turned out to be really him!

I looked straight at him and asked, "Why?" Since you think I like Yu Wenyong and think that I will be with him, why do you risk your life to find an antidote for me? ”

He said lightly and gently: "I know he likes you, and I know that he will definitely give you the antidote." But this is a matter of your life, if you don't detoxify for a day, I can't rest assured, I want to find an antidote for you, so that you can get out of danger as soon as possible. ”

He didn't say anything, he silently found the antidote for me, and he didn't let Ah Sleeve tell me what the hell was he thinking?

"Thank you for saving me." I thanked him.

Either way, he saved my life. If it weren't for him, my life would have been gone.

Mo Zi looked at me with a trace of unknown affection, and asked me with a smile, "I saved you, how do you repay me?" ”

Touching Mo Ziwei's gaze, my heart seemed to be burned, and I whispered, "What do you want?" ”

Mo Ziwei slowly approached me, and the smell of bamboo-like cleanliness on his body also hit, looking at his bright and burning eyes, my heart was inexplicably nervous, and I wanted to retreat, but my feet seemed to be frozen.

He suddenly took my hand, put it on his heart, stared at me, and said softly, "I gave you my people and my heart, and in return, will you give me your heart?" ”

The heat on his hand was very high, and it was just as hot as his gaze, and when I touched his gaze, I shook off his hand as if it were burned.

A wounded expression flashed on Mo Ziwu's face, and I was a little overwhelmed and said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going back to rest." ”

I left Mo Ziwei's room as if I had escaped.

Seven years ago, he broke my heart so decisively, it hurt so much, I don't want to go through that kind of emotional wound again.

——

The morning light is slightly drunk, the clouds are scattered and the fog is gone, and the mountains are clear.

On the road this morning, after experiencing last night's incident, Mo Ziwei and I were relatively speechless, our faces were a little unnatural, and the atmosphere was awkward.

Mo Ziwei was the first to speak to break the embarrassment, "I know you don't want to see me, but for your safety, I have to wronged you to go to a place with me." ”

His expression was as lonely as snow, and there was clearly a touch of desolation hidden in his eyebrows, and I wanted to deny something, but when the words came to my mouth, it became, "Where are we going?" ”

Mo Zi worried: "A place where people can forget their troubles. ”

The carriage came to a small village in Xiangzhou: Yunxiu Village.

The sky in the mountain village is unusually clean, like the autumn water of a flat lake, and it is so clear that it is not like words. Looking down from the top, the water and the sky reflect each other, the water in the village shines clearly, there are heavy mountains, green trees, and fine grass in the water, just like a natural landscape painting, the fragrance of water and wood Qinghua, the aroma of green wood and weeds is mixed with water vapor, and spreads on the water surface.

At the foot of the waterside mountain, there are more than a dozen bamboo fence thatched cottages, and a wide green vegetable field, which is an endless field from a distance, the field is the figure of the villagers working, the shepherd boy rides a cow in the depths of the meadow, and occasionally there are leisurely mountain songs echoing, which is peaceful.

"Zi worry!"

"Zi Wei is back!"

When the villagers saw Mo Ziwei, they all stopped what they were doing and called his name very happily, and there were people who greeted him along the way. After entering the village and getting out of the car, a group of children excitedly came over to surround Mo Ziwei.

"Brother Ziwu, you're back!"

"Brother Ziwu is back!"

With the cheers of the children, several villagers came one after another, women and children, young adults, and the elderly.

"Brother Ziwu, who is this sister!" One of the children looked at me with big curious eyes and asked Mo Ziwei.

Mo Zi smiled worriedly, and was about to answer, but a woman grabbed in front of him and smiled: "This girl must be your daughter-in-law, look at her, how good she looks, she can't match you anymore, she looks like a husband and wife!" ”

The woman's face was excited, but I was stunned, look at my face, there is no resemblance to Mo Ziwei, auntie, where did you see the husband and wife!

"Brother Ziyou, your daughter-in-law is so beautiful!" A little kid blushed and praised me.

Mo Zi looked at me with a worried smile, with a smug look in his eyebrows, and said, "It's very beautiful." ”

When he said this, it confirmed everyone's conjecture even more, and the woman smiled: "I guessed right, it is indeed your daughter-in-law." Zi worry, for so many years, I have been persuading you to find a daughter-in-law, but you don't listen. Now that I'm finally enlightened, I brought back such a beautiful daughter-in-law as soon as I came back. ”

Seeing that a group of adults and children thought I was Mo Ziyao's daughter-in-law, and came to watch me one by one, Mo Ziwei just smiled, neither admitting nor denying it, I had no choice but to speak, "You misunderstood, I'm not his daughter-in-law!" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mo Zi's smiling face, and determined something, before she looked at me with disgust, and said, "What are you shy about, what are you embarrassed to admit, we won't laugh at you!" ”

After that, the woman taught Mo Ziwu like an elder, "Zi Worry, your daughter-in-law, she is beautiful, but her face is too thin to control the scene, you have to teach her well." ”

I was hoping that Mo Ziwei could explain clearly, but then Mo Ziwei said something even more misleading, "Her face is a little thinner, I will teach her well." ”

"That's right." The woman complained, "Zi Wei, you didn't tell me when you married your daughter-in-law, it's too unrighteous, and I have been worrying about your marriage for you." You said that you were in such a hurry to marry a daughter-in-law outside, and you didn't tell me, the big guy didn't even drink your wedding wine! ”

Mo Ziwei actually said very seriously: "This kind of matter should not be delayed sooner rather than later, I am afraid that if it is later, she will be snatched away." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter and looked at me and Mo Ziwei with a playful gaze.

I couldn't help but be annoyed and stared at Mo Ziwei.

He didn't explain it clearly, and he even deliberately misled everyone, which was simply intentional!

Seeing that I was angry, Mo Ziwu didn't explain, but still accepted the villagers' jokes with a light smile, and a child was ignorant and asked him, "Brother Ziwu, what is a daughter-in-law?" ”

Mo Ziwei squatted down and said solemnly to the child: "Daughter-in-law, you are the one who likes her and wants to protect her and accompany her for the rest of her life." ”

"Is that brother worried about being with your daughter-in-law for the rest of his life?"

Mo Ziwei stood up, looked at me, and said very firmly: "Yes, I want to live with her for the rest of my life." ”

My body froze suddenly, at this moment, all the anger, unhappiness, and anger all disappeared, and my head was empty, looking at Mo Zi's worried eyes, I seemed to be caught in an invisible whirlpool, and I couldn't pull it out.
