After a tiring day, everyone went back to rest after dinner.

Ji Zheng returned to the room and found that the room was clean, the new bedding was neatly stacked on the bed, and he had a relieved smile on his face, which must have been specially prepared for him by Hana.

Ji Zheng took off his coat and lay on the bed, although he was tired from the journey, he didn't feel sleepy. After a long time, he still couldn't sleep. Perhaps the night sky was too silent, and he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat, the thumping rhythm like a wave constantly lapping against the rocks, anxious and turbulent. I am like the sea, waiting for the clouds and mist to dissipate into the boundless sky, waiting for the moonlight to rise over the sea and pour out the pure moonlight.

However, heavy clouds obscured the sky, and only silky cold dew fell on the edges. With nowhere to find the bright moon, he angrily rolled up the monstrous waves, smashed them on the sharp mountain rocks, splashed thousands of layers of snow with splashes of water and foam, and conjured up the colorful picture in his dream where the sea and the sky met. He remembered the sight, the most beautiful sight he had ever seen, and that time, he had embraced the pure moon in his arms.

Perhaps, such a wait is worthless, at this time, the bright moon is close at hand, how can it be covered by clouds and mist?

He stood up and nudged the door.

The bright moonlight poured through the crack in the door, and she happened to be in front of her.

Early the next morning, Heyu came to the courtyard with Frost.

Gong Wanran had just finished his morning reading, and when he saw Heyu and Shuangdi, he stepped forward to say hello.

"Heyu, come so early."

"Brother Gonghui, last night the workers stepped up production, and finally made a new batch of goods, I agreed with the merchants to pull the goods today, and there will definitely be a mess in the factory for a while, I have to hurry up to the factory to keep an eye on, and I will ask you to take care of it!"

Gong Wanran nodded and said, "It's really hard and giving." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, I'm enjoying it!" With that, He Yu Chongshuang waved his hand and left the courtyard.

At this time, Zhang Xun walked out of the room in a daze and yawned, "Ha...... Did Heyu come just now? I could hear him. ”

"Brother Xiaoxun is early." Frost said hello.

"It's early for Xiaoshuang!" As soon as Zhang Xun saw Shuangdi, he immediately became energetic and sorted out his messy hair in a panic.

Gong Wanran beckoned Zhang Xun over and said, "Xiao Xun, I want to go to the mansion to deal with some official business, the king will give you a few days off, so you can rest and play for a few days, and Shuang Di will be handed over to you to take care of today." ”

"But......" Zhang Xun looked embarrassed.

"What? Do you have an arrangement? ”

"Hmm...... Sort of...... By the way, what about Xiao Ji and Sister Hana? Why haven't you gotten up yet? ”

Gong Wanran smiled and said, "Let them sleep a little longer." ”

"Oh......" Zhang Xun nodded confusedly, "I have some things today, I want to see someone, I'm afraid that Shuang Di will get bored if she follows me." ”

Shuang Di shook her head and said, "It's okay, if it's convenient, I want to go with Brother Xiaoxun, I don't want to stay at home alone." ”

"Oh, well, let's go together. I'll take you to the market when I'm done. ”

"Good!"

So, the three of them left the house together.

Gong Wan went straight to Simin's Mansion, while Zhang Xun and Shuang Di walked a few streets in the direction of leaving the city, bought some snacks along the way, and then walked through the shabby and dilapidated streets to a dilapidated hut.

"Brother Xiaoxun, whose house is this?"

"Do you remember the scholar who played against Brother Xiao Ran during the Lotus Lantern Festival last year?"

"Well, there's a little more impression."

"Let's go see his wife."

"Where do they live as a family?"

Zhang Xun said sadly: "Now only his wife is left......

Looking at Zhang Xun's lowered brows, Shuang Di probably guessed the story behind this, she didn't ask anymore, just silently followed Zhang Xun's side.

Zhang Xun walked to the door and knocked lightly, "Is there anyone?" Anyone, please? ”

There was no response inside, Zhang Xun knocked on the door a few more times, "I'm a friend of Jieyin, is anyone at home?" ”

Still no response.

Zhang Xun gently pushed the wooden door, and the broken door panel creaked inward.

The door was unlocked, Zhang Xun carefully pushed open the door, and pulled Shuang Di into the dilapidated hall. Looking around, the earthen walls were peeling white ash, there were many leaky gaps under the rotten beams and broken rubble, and there was only a handmade case and two rough and worn bookshelves inside.

Although the room is extremely simple, if you look closely, the room is spotlessly cleaned, with a few small pink flowers in a clay pot with a gap on the table, a few fresh fruits placed next to the flowers, and all kinds of volumes neatly stacked on the shelves. Although the wall is leaking, there is a landscape painting, which blows into the house, and the scroll flutters with the wind, and the stream in the painting seems to flow with the wind.

"The master isn't at home, is he?" Frost whispered.

"Anyone?" Zhang Xun shouted at the dormitory on the side of the hall.

Still no response.

"Looks like his wife is out of the house."

"Then let's wait a minute."

"Okay." Zhang Xun frowned gloomily.

After a long time, no one came home. Zhang Xun couldn't hold it back, and gently pushed the door of the bedroom, which was not locked, and the door panel slowly unscrewed. However, Zhang Xun was shocked by the scene inside, he could not hide his shock and sadness, took a few steps back, and stood in place.

"What's wrong? Brother Xiaoxun? ”

Zhang Xun was speechless.

Shuang Di walked over to see the situation inside, but was dragged by Zhang Xun.

"Xiaoshuang, don't go to see it...... She ......" Zhang Xun's eyes were red, tears swirling in his eyes, and she choked up, "She...... She's ...... Message has been received...... So she ......"

Hearing this, Shuang Di could already imagine what had happened, and her grief suddenly filled her heart, and she threw herself into Zhang Xun's arms, tears flowing silently.

Subsequently, Zhang Xun sent someone to bury Jieyin's wife, and he worked until the evening before settling down. Even though a day has passed, the two of them are still unable to calm down.

As the sun sets, Zhang Xun and Shuang Di sit side by side next to Mingxin Lake, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the lake is flooded with layers of golden light, time seems to stand still, and the whole world does not have a sound.

was speechless for a long time, but Frost quietly wiped away her tears.

"Xiaoshuang, don't be sad, I believe that their husband and wife will definitely be reunited in heaven."

"Brother Xiaoxun, I feel so uncomfortable, although I don't know her, but I can imagine how desperate and painful her heart is, she cleaned the house, prepared fruits and flowers, and looked forward to her husband's return, but only waited for it to come...... Woo, wait for a bad news, woowoo......"

Frost buried her head in her lap and wept sadly. Zhang Xun handed Frost a piece of white brocade, a cluster of pale pink flowers blooming in full bloom, and the flowers were covered with a faint layer of hoarfrost, which was a gift from Frost before he set out for the expedition.

Frost gently wiped away her tears, looked up at the crimson clouds, and a pair of birds frolicked and gradually flew across the sky, as if two lost lives had turned into free souls, and there was no more concern or pain.

Frost's sensitive heart was deeply touched, and she said with sadness: "When a person leaves, the one who is left behind will have to bear all the pain, and those once good memories will turn into terrible nightmares, and finally destroy the person who remains." I knew she must have loved her husband very, very much, and she couldn't bear it, so she chose to die. If it were me, I might not have the courage to face ...... alone."

Zhang Xun shook his head, "That's not the case. A person leaves, leaving another person alone, I know, the person who stays will suffer a lot, but he also carries the hope of another person, he wants to use his own eyes to see for another person, use his feet to walk for another person, use his own life to live for another person, even if he is burdened with pain, even if he is eroded by memories, even if he will cry in his dreams for countless nights, but he must live well, he must cherish everything he once had, and work hard to live. Until the last moment of life, with enough beautiful stories and memories, to tell the person who has been guarding the heavens. ”

"But...... It was really painful, and if it were me, I would have left the most important person, and I wouldn't know how to live the rest of my life alone......"

Zhang Xun stared at Xiaoshuang's blank eyes and said firmly: "Xiaoshuang, you are the kindest, most beautiful, and smartest girl I have ever seen." I believe that you can do anything, you can solve any problem, and you can make it better, no matter what dilemma. So, you have to believe in yourself and be strong and brave, okay? ”

Xiaoshuang looked at Zhang Xun, and suddenly felt that her feelings for Zhang Xun had undergone a subtle change, and she couldn't think of this change clearly for a while. After hesitating for a moment, Xiaoshuang asked softly, "Brother Xiaoxun, if one day we can't see each other separately, will you be sad?" ”

As he spoke, a tear quietly crossed Frost's cheek.

Zhang Xun stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears, and said gently: "I will never leave you, I will always be by your side." Even if one day we will separate, I firmly believe that it will be short-lived, and as long as I live, I will do everything I can to find you! ”

"Well, I'll be strong and wait until you find me."

In the end, Zhang Xun tightly held Shuang Tu in his arms, and Shuang Tu pinched Zhang Xun's sleeve, and her cheeks were shy and crimson. 21010
