I thought about it for a while, and suddenly said, "But Yan is not good for Doctor Yan?" ”

Cheng Buyi smiled: "Not bad." ”

I said, "I heard that Dr. Yan never treats people easily now, he ......"

Cheng Buyi interrupted: "No, Brother Yan will not refuse." ”

I arched my hand and said, "In this way, Mr. Cheng will ask Mr. Cheng to take a break in the house, and discuss it tomorrow if there is anything." ”

Cheng Buyi said: "The son is bad, the old man and the third son have already discussed, so I will leave immediately, and ask the son to arrange it." ”

I looked at Li Xuan and said, "Are you in such a hurry?" ”

Li Xuanba smiled: "Big brother, it's Xuanba who wants to leave." ”

I said, "Why?" ”

Li Xuanba turned to Cheng Buyi and said, "Mr. Cheng, the junior has a few words to say to the eldest brother, so I take the liberty to ask Mr. to wait here for a while." ”

Cheng Buyi nodded and said, "Third son, please." ”

I followed him farther and farther away from his room, walked to the place where I used to get up in the morning to practice swords, and stood still: "Xuanba once learned swords from the eldest brother, do you remember the eldest brother?" ”

I said, "Remember, it's just that then you didn't get well, mother...... She won't let you learn anymore. ”

Li Xuanba lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, in the academy, the people of the world are not as good as me, but in terms of swordsmen, I am not as good as him, not only is it inferior, but it is impossible to even compare with him." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Xuanba, you are also half a Buddhist, how can you have such a competitive heart?" ”

Li Xuan said domineeringly: "Master once said that everything is a matter of fate, and there is no need to force it. I don't want to compete with him, it's just that in today's troubled times, Xuanba also drank a cup of tea from his sister-in-law that day, and he was willing to contribute to his eldest brother, but he was ......"

I patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good to have a heart." ”

Li Xuanba shook his head, "It's useless to have a weak heart, isn't it?" ”

I smiled and said, "Big brother himself, I don't want anything else, I just want you all to be safe, this ...... It is also the mother's last wish. ”

Li Xuanba asked rhetorically: "What about the eldest brother himself?" ”

I don't know how to answer.

He said: "Big brother, Ruoxiu's sister-in-law also hopes that the eldest brother will live a safe life, doesn't it?" When he mentioned Ruoxiu, his eyes turned red.

I took a deep breath, bowed my head and pondered for a moment, but didn't answer.

"Big brother, Zi Min's sister-in-law, she ...... It's very good to you, if Sister-in-law Xiu has a spirit in heaven, she will want you to ......"

I suddenly realized his intentions, and interrupted a little rudely: "Xuanba, don't say any more. ”

Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Cheng also said that I won't live to be this year, but because of my eldest brother, I can avoid this catastrophe." ”

I came to my senses and asked, "Why?" ”

Li Xuanba said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng said that the eldest brother is the noble person in my life, a variable, and a ......" His words were not finished, and it was not until a long, long time later that I didn't know what the second half of the sentence was-

It is a variable, but also a catastrophe.

But he didn't continue, and I didn't ask more.

"Although the eldest brother doesn't like it, Xuanba still wants to persuade the eldest brother to cherish the people in front of him."

This time I didn't refute, just smiled and said, "Xuanba, you are still young and don't understand." "Although I said this, I was very strange in my heart, Zimin didn't get along with them for long, why did everyone think she was good? Sanniang thinks so, Xuanba thinks too, it's just me, every time I see her, I can't help but think of Ruo Xiu, every time, I imagine what will happen if Ruo Xiu is still there.

Li Xuanba left for less than a month, and the bad news came, Cheng Buyi found Yan Buji after several twists and turns, and Yan Buji also promised to treat Li Xuanba, but Li Xuanba's disease is deeply rooted and has long been an incurable disease, and Yan Buji's unique medical skills in the world are powerless.

The news of the death of the third prince of the Tang State Mansion spread all over Daxing City in less than three days. I took the funeral seriously for Li Xuanba, and wrote to inform my father who was far away in Honghua.

After Zimin followed me around, I didn't even realize that she was still sick, and she was cured under Xun Jian's careful treatment.

I stood in front of Li Xuanba's bedroom, and I only felt that boundless loneliness was rushing towards me, and there was no one to complain about. Mother's last wishes, father's plan, Ruo Xiu and the child, and now Li Xuanba's death, all of this is true or illusory, only I can bear it, I can't breathe, I just feel sorry for Ruo Xiu, she asked me to take care of myself, as early as when I promised my father to marry Zi Min, I have been abandoned.

Someone behind me put on a cloak for me, a burst of warmth enveloped my body, such a real feeling that I could no longer deceive myself that it was Ruoxiu who was standing behind me, I wanted to lift this strange warmth, but after thinking about it, the hand that touched the cloak tightened the cloak inward.

Zimin walked around to me and said, "Xuanba is not really dead, why is the eldest brother so sad?" ”

I shook my head and said, "You won't understand, I just think he's dead in my heart." ”

It is very strange that when the news of Li Xuanba's death came, Zimin somehow knew the truth of this matter, in fact, before Li Xuanba left, we had already agreed on this matter and hid it from everyone.

I didn't bother to ask her, just told her an affirmative answer when she asked me.

Zimin's lips seemed to move, but he didn't speak, he just stood quietly with me, looking at the unextinguished candlelight in Li Xuanba's room, and in the candlelight shadow, Ruoxiu's figure was reflected as he gradually moved away.

I almost set off to chase after it, but at the same time I knew that what I saw was only an illusion, and I took half a step with my right foot back, and lowered my head and smiled self-deprecatingly, if Zimin didn't stand by my side, I could still take these illusions as real, but she was there, in the open space of the wooden house, she was there.

Her presence shattered something I had borrowed from it, and it made me very unhappy. I moved a few steps away in disgust, and Zimin turned his head to look at me, but instead of following, he turned and left.

Her figure was as lonely as me, and I suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, and said, "Do you know that Zen Master Yancong and Mr. Cheng both predicted that Xuanba would not live to be this year?" ”

Zi Min froze, turned to look at me in some surprise, and shook his head.

I felt a little sad, looked at Li Xuanba's room, and said, "Do you believe in fate?" ”

Zi Min smiled and said: "If you believe it, you will have it, and if you don't believe it, you will not have it." Zimin didn't believe it. ”

I shook my head and said, "I don't know why, but I believe it very much." Mr. Cheng is just a mortal, what price should he pay for changing his life against the sky? He's like this for Xuanba, I'm ...... Restless. ”

Zi Min said: "Big brother, the world is impermanent, and it is useless to think too much. Zimin didn't want to think too much. ”

She bowed her head and turned back alone, I looked at her back, I don't know why I had a strange feeling, she married into the Tang Mansion for so long, she has always been generous, and she has never bothered about anything with me, what is she for?
