Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

The autumn colors are deep day by day, the temperature is getting cooler day by day, and the reeds in the wind are already old and yellow. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info This scene touched my sad mood even more. On that day, Beze and the imperial doctor came to see me again, saying that my body had recovered quickly, my physique had begun to strengthen, and that he would be able to take me back in a few days. But because I'm worried about Ying'er, I'm reluctant to leave here.

I don't go to the reeds of the shallow lake anymore, and the sadness and sadness that touches the scene always makes me sad. The sun still shines on the flower-filled slopes every day, turning the endless silence into golden autumn colors. However, I still don't understand why Heaven would place the sick in a deserted mountain wilderness to heal and recuperate. Is it the emptiness of the expanse that has the healing effect, or the solitude and solitude of solitude and solitude have the effect of recuperation? I think since they do this, I'm afraid there will be their reasons.

However, walking along the beautiful hillside makes me feel very different, and from this point of view, I think this way of recuperating is really good. Walking back from the stream below the hillside, the sun shone warmly on my body. I strode across the creek and slowly walked down the path towards the top of the slope. Suddenly, I seemed to see a flash of red light in front of the hut, and at first I thought I was dazzled, but soon I saw a familiar figure.

At that moment, the figure stood up and walked towards me shyly waving his hand. Oh, it's Ying'er. I shouted at her and ran quickly. Running up to her, I excitedly grabbed her hand and said, "Where have you been?" Ying'er smiled apologetically and said, "We moved." I asked, "Why did you move?" Did your mother think of me as a bad person? Ying'er lowered her head, if she was embarrassed, "Because we came here to take refuge, we don't dare to see outsiders." ”

When I heard this, I was shocked and said, "Why did you evacuate?" She withdrew her hand from my hand and was silent for a long time before she said, "It's a long story." My family was sued, and when I was arrested by the royal palace, I was about to be exiled to a desert island and serve for several years. I said, "What kind of accusation?" The king was merciful and wise, so why didn't he tell the king about it? Ying'er shook her head lightly and said, "It's useless." Then he sighed deeply, and said, "My brother has been banished, and the reason can no longer be explained." ”

Heaven is a just and benevolent kingdom, and the king is very merciful and generous, how could such an incident happen? It's too unbelievable. So, I begged Ying'er to explain the matter in detail, so that I could find a way to help them. But Ying'er said, "Not today, I have to hurry back, if my mother comes back from the field and can't see me, she will be worried and angry." As soon as I heard this, I couldn't say any more, so I asked me how I could meet her again. She thought about it and asked me to meet her on that high slope by the lake tomorrow afternoon, and she would tell me the details of the incident.

The next afternoon, before I could reach the bottom of the high slope by the reed lake, I heard the low and melodious sound of the flute drifting in the silent wind in the distance. The melody is ancient and desolate, and the sad and soothing melody is full of bitterness and sorrow, like the endless whimper of the river in the bleak wind, repeatedly pouring out the eternal melancholy deposited in the heart. The sound of the music is mournful and low, slightly hoarse, which makes people feel sad and sad when they listen to it. Although I am not familiar with her tunes, I can understand the sorrow and sorrow that are common to the human soul in her songs. Walking through the edge of the forest and looking towards the high slope, I saw the beautiful figure sitting in front of the lake, like a beautiful statue blowing a long flute affectionately and intently.

I went up a little up the hill and stood quietly behind her, listening to her pour out her sorrow with a flute. It wasn't until she finished playing a tune that she noticed me standing behind her. She hurriedly got up, smiled apologetically at me, and said, "The little girl is ugly, and the son should not laugh." I said, "I thought that such a wonderful tune could only be found in dreams, but I didn't want the girl to be able to blow it on the spot." Listening to my praise, Ying'er seemed to be very happy, but said, "Childe won the award, shame Ying'er." I said, "This song seems to be familiar, but I don't know why?" Ying'er said, "This is still "Heavenly Requiem", and there is no one in heaven who can't play and sing. ”

As soon as Ying'er said it, I remembered that it was this "Heavenly Requiem" that Gna used to dance and sing on the day of the harvest festival. I had seen it on the bookshelf of the king's palace, but its tune was recorded in poetry, so that to those who were not familiar with it, at first glance it would look like a poem of grace and lyricism, rather than a song that one could sing at sight. So, strictly speaking, there is actually no musical score in the kingdom of heaven, and the transmission of music and songs is transmitted and inherited by oral transmission. However, the women of heaven have a unique understanding and talent for music, no matter what the tune is, as long as they listen to it a few times, they can memorize it by heart, and they can sing or play it on the spot.

I remember that I also heard Gna sing this tune, but it was not as sad and desolate as Ying'er could blow the tune. I think she must be pouring out her sorrow with this song. So, I said, "The girl just has to explain the grievances in her heart, and I hope that I can avenge the girl." Ying'er sighed silently, and then said, "I don't know if the prince has heard of it, in the winter of the previous year, the old king died suddenly due to illness, and the prime minister and the captain personally investigated the case, and there was a conclusion, but after the prince succeeded to the throne, he said that the old king was poisoned, so he secretly sent a palace guard to my house to visit my brother privately." The elder brother was the old king's personal bodyguard, and he was very suspicious of the old king's sudden death, so he truthfully informed the comer of the scene when the king was dying. No, the guard died suddenly at my house while eating and drinking, and according to the investigation, he was poisoned with poisoned wine. As a result, the elder brother was arrested for murder and exiled. At that time, my mother and I had not returned from a trip and learned that the palace had sent someone to wait at home to take us into the palace for examination, so my mother and I did not dare to go home, but went to a relative's house and brought some food and clothing, and fled here overnight to hide for the time being. ”

At this point, I also noticed that the sun was already in the west, so I hurriedly said that it was time for me to go. Ying'er said that she should also go, and she came out in a panic after telling her mother. When we parted, I took her hand and said that someone would come tomorrow to pick me up and take me back to the PTZ. Ying'er was a little sad when she heard it, and she couldn't let the tears fall. I comforted her and told her not to be upset, and said that I would come to see her again in a few days. She told me that she and her mother lived in the reeds not far south of the hut, and told me not to say it to anyone else.
