Chapter 90: A Warm Embrace
Behind the cloth shop is a small yard, which is well maintained, and the flowers and plants are very meaningful.
The house with two entrances is a small living room outside. Inside was a study with a soft floor in addition to a desk and a chair. It looks like it should be a place for Li Wan to rest. This desk and the new Taishi chair are still produced by the Chen family, and because of the production capacity, not much has been made. The few pieces that just came out, except for the ones that were kept as models, the rest were given away. The relationship between sister and brother was there, and Li Wan mixed up a full set at the first time.
Jin Se and Li Wan were fiddling with the freshly delivered silk from the shopkeeper on the stone table in the small courtyard, and they also picked up the materials and compared them in a low voice. In the middle was accompanied by laughter like silver bells. Chen Bodhi heard Li Chongyi say that Li Wan's life in the Cui family in the past two years was not very happy, and she was even very depressed for a while. For this reason, the prince sent someone to pick up the eldest lady from her in-law's house.
It was rare to see Li Wan so happy, so Chen Bodhi was inconvenient to disturb. Besides, it is not suitable for the daughter's family to talk about some private conversations between them, and it is not suitable for them to stay on the spot. Therefore, Chen Bodhi planned to rest in the study for a while.
Boredom, Chen Bodhi picked up the account book on the desk and looked through it.
This is the summary account of the three branches of Yinsuo Cloth Bank in Chang'an for half a year, not to mention that Li Wan is an invisible rich man. In the six months recorded here, there were more than a dozen large-scale cloth transactions. The number is not small, and the objects of the trade are some foreign silk merchants. Among them, the Western Regions and Dashi are the most, and they are also mixed with some Baekje, Silla, and Goguryeo. Looking at this account book, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of times a month. You must know that in the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the annual income of the treasury was a little more than 10 million. Proper wealthy businessmen!
Amazing, amazing!
Holding the account book, Chen Bodhi lay down on the soft collapse of Li Wan's royal palace and studied it slowly.
There is still the fragrance left by Li Wan on the soft collapse, a faint jasmine fragrance, which smells very good. So unconsciously, with the sleepiness of the afternoon, the account book in Chen Bodhi's hand became heavier and heavier, and the handwriting on it became more and more blurred. So, after a while, Chen Bodhi slept soundly with the account book on his head.
......
"Boss, ahem... I reckon... I can't go back this time... Finish. I... I have one wish...... Ahem..."
"Sparrow" is twenty-one years old this year, and he is the youngest of the ghost fox team. He joined the army at the age of six, and began to follow Chen Bodhi at the age of fifteen. Footprints range from the rainforests of southern Xinjiang to the plateaus of northern Xinjiang. I have walked through the war-torn Iraq, and I have also walked through the black soil where the riots and bloodshed have continued. In six years, a young-looking teenager has grown into a man who has been tested on the battlefield.
These six years are also the most difficult six years for Chen Bodhi.
Brothers have fought all over the world together, defending the interests, honor and dignity of the motherland with their own blood and lives.
Yesterday I joked, saying that it was until I was discharged from the army. I went back to my hometown to charter a big ranch, and the brothers lived a plain and happy life together. There is no rain of bullets, no overflow of danger, just tranquility and serenity.
But today, just today, the road of the "sparrow" ...... It's the end of it.
Chen Bodhi's face was full of tears, and he pressed his hand on the sparrow's chest, but no matter how hard he tried, the blood still couldn't stop flowing out. It was so hot that Chen Bodhi's fingers began to tremble.
"Don't talk, you'll be fine, the vet said the bullet went through your chest and didn't hurt your organs. Listen to the eldest brother, don't talk, save your strength, and we can go home soon. ”
Chen Bodhi said softly, looking at the young face in front of him, he felt very guilty, the "sparrow" was brought out by him.
The sparrow smiled, and pulled out a smile with great effort.
"It's okay, from the day I came out, I... I'm ready for this... You can die anywhere, really, really! Ahem......"
Chen Bodhi kept wiping the blood foam on the mouth of the "sparrow" with his other hand, but he couldn't wipe it clean. The lobe of "Sparrow" was pierced through the lobes of his lungs, and the piercing power of the AK completely shattered his left chest and opened a large hole in his back. Even the "veterinarian" has no power to return to heaven.
Chen Bodhi didn't know what to say, but he just wiped the blood from the corner of the sparrow's mouth with his hand.
"I... It's all about to hang up... Can't you let me leave some last words? Ahem... Hurry up, or hurry. “
"Sparrow" said with a smile as he gulped out blood foam.
"You say... I'm going to do it..."
Chen Bodhi looked into the sparrow's eyes, and he didn't know what to say other than that.
"Put it down, don't hold it anymore, Sister Xia Hua definitely wants you to put it down. Otherwise, I'm too tired to live... It's so tiring..."
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, I promise you!"
Chen Bodhi nodded violently.
Seeing this, the "sparrow" smiled, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his arms with the last of his strength, embracing the void.
"Mom, I'm home!!"
Chen Bodhi got up suddenly, and the account books were scattered all over the ground.
The scene in his sleep is vivid, and when he raised his hand, he looked at it, and it seemed to be stained with the blood of sparrows.
"Childe, are you okay?"
Jin Se's soft hand grabbed Chen Bodhi's hand tightly, and told him with practical actions, I am here!
Chen Bodhi reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.
"It's okay, I had a nightmare. Makes you worried, where did Sister Wan'er go? ”
"Sister Wan'er saw that you were asleep, and she couldn't bear to disturb you. I went to the shop to stock the goods. ”
"I'm asleep, and you've been watching over me all along, huh? You're also dead-eyed, don't you have a stool? Why don't you move over and sit? ”
Chen Bodhi put his arm around Jinse's waist and hugged her on the couch. This stupid girl doesn't know how long she's been squatting here, and her feet are swollen.
"You sleep so softly that you can't hear the sound, and this chair is too heavy, I'm afraid of making you ....."
Jin Se lowered his head and tugged at the hem of his skirt with his fingers, and said softly. Although he usually has some intimate actions. But this is the first time to lie down together, and this is still Li Wan's place. Therefore, the deer on her chest couldn't help but be a little messy, although she was talking to Chen Bodhi, her big eyes were about to sweep towards the yard from time to time.
"Sister Jinse, you are so virtuous, you want to make me sick!"
Chen Bodhi said with a smile, and then inadvertently wiped the corners of his eyes with his hand.
Jin Se saw clearly, and the contact time was long. Jin Se knew that Chen Bodhi was not as happy as he seemed on the surface. Sometimes, sadness is revealed in the eyes inadvertently, which is not clear to others, but Jin Se understands it very well. What lies hidden there is an unforgettable pain. Looking at this slightly immature teenager, Jin Se sometimes feels very distressed.
Although I don't know what Childe has experienced, Jin Se still can't suppress the love in his heart. Perhaps, this is sympathy.
Thinking of this, Jin Se arched his body upward. Then he took Chen Bodhi's head into his arms and gently touched Chen Bodhi's cheek with his other hand. Before meeting Chen Bodhi, she also often had nightmares. I dreamed of my father covered in blood. Mother with a disheveled cape. Every time I wake up in a dream. She hopes that there will be such a person to hold her and give her warmth.
May you wake up from a nightmare with a warm embrace.
