Twenty-four returns

The night is like water, there are people in the restaurant who are staggering, there are people in the green building who are spending a lot of money, there are people in the pavilions and terraces who are talking to each other, some people in the study are splashing ink, the same night, different life, all kinds of beings in the world, are covered in this night.

On the noisy street during the day, there was no one at this time, only an ordinary carriage, with a fat and strong mule in front of it, walking leisurely, and the mule was driven by a young man, whose face was buried in the shadow on the front side of the carriage, and his expression could not be seen clearly. The carriage walked leisurely, as if it had just come out of a banquet, and was wandering the streets idly, and the mules pulling the cart made a crisp sound on the bluestone slabs, breaking the silence of the night. The curtains of the carriage swayed gently with the steps of the mules, and the spring breeze blew slightly, but it could not open the closed curtains. Behind the curtain was a young woman, her eyes shining like stars in the night, but there were tears hidden in these eyes, and the tears slid down her cheeks with the swing of the carriage, and slid over her red lips like spring flowers, wetting her placket, but she bit her lip and did not make a sound, and dissolved into the lonely night.

She kept persuading herself in her heart: why is she crying so sadly, everything goes according to the set plan, everything happens according to her own ideas, she should be benevolent to herself, and it is the person next to her who is unfair, but it is her heart that screams pain, it turns out that she can only control her mouth and legs, but she can't control her heart at all.

In the carriage slowly moving forward, the woman couldn't help but think of her first encounter with him, that day she and her mother went to the temple to offer incense, on the way a group of robbers suddenly fell from the sky, at that time she panicked, her heart beat faster, but her body was cold, she was about to be taken captive, he happened to pass there, couldn't help but help, she still remembers that he talked and laughed freely with the gang of robbers, he was dressed in white, his clothes were fluttering, even if the other party was outnumbered, he was not afraid, even if he suffered a few injuries to his shoulder, he was not willing to leave her behind, She was chased and killed on the same horse with him, he hugged himself tightly and smiled Yan Yan to comfort her not to be afraid, and when they got away safely, he sent himself back to the house without stopping, and he didn't want to leave without the slightest reward, and at that time there was a faint fluctuation in his heart. Originally thought it was just an accident, she passed by him like this, but he didn't expect that a few months later he was seriously injured and fell in front of him, she was the daughter of the prefect Quanzhou, but he was a reckless hero on the rivers and lakes, even if she was kind-hearted, even if he was warm-hearted, but the two were still a bird in the sky and a fish on the ground, with an insurmountable power in between, destined to only look at each other in pairs, but at that time she didn't think about it so much, just thinking about fighting for his reputation, fighting for his reputation, and trying to save him. Fortunately, all this was finally in danger, and the officers and soldiers who pursued her saw that she was the daughter of the prefect, and did not dare to embarrass her, and under her undressing service, his injuries gradually improved, and soon he smiled and groaned again,

The woman sat in the carriage, thinking about the situation when the two met, and her bowels turned softly, and she couldn't help herself, but at the end she turned into a sigh choked in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound. It was a stolen time, he often took advantage of the dark night, sneaked in, in the dead of night, the two looked at each other through the window, talked wantonly, forgot the flow of time, did not remember that the two were far apart, only the bright moon was accompanied by the breeze.

But after all, she is the daughter of the prefect's family, and there will always be a world that she can't go out of, when her father said that Zhou Yuanhong, the political envoy, wanted to marry herself, her dream was immediately shattered, she resolutely cried and made trouble, but she was helpless in the end, she has always been favored by her father, but this time her father only informed her instead of discussing with her, this decision can not be disobeyed, she only feels that life is better than death, her heart is like a tree, if God arranged such an ending, why did she give such a start, no hope will not be disappointed, It doesn't matter if she hasn't seen spring or winter, and she can't change this ending, so she begged him to take her out, and take her out for ten days, these ten days are the most time she can resist, and in her life, only these ten days are her own. These ten days have become the best time of her life, she and him are content with etiquette but happy and sweet, she told him the secrets of her heart, he told her about her life experience, he took her to see the places she wanted to go but never been, these ten days have grown into her life but are short into a moment, and then, she will return, keep these sweet memories, spend her mutilated life.

The carriage walked slowly, calmly and calmly, but no one knew how a broken heart was hidden behind this calm and calm.

The woman in the carriage was in tears, and suddenly longed to open the curtain, and then look at the man outside, her spring-like fingers quietly grasped the corner of the curtain, and her heart kept calling: take a look, this glance is ten thousand years, and from then on, we will never see each other again. Her fingers had gently drawn the curtain of the door, but she didn't dare to exert herself, what if she saw it, maybe it was an abyss from which she could never recover, her hands were tight and loose, and she never had the courage to open the curtain.

The carriage has been walking, although I hope it will go for a lifetime, but it should be about to stop, the woman finally let go of the curtains, wiped away the tears on her face, tried her best to suppress her sadness, and said softly: "Brother Yang, you will definitely meet a good woman in the future, she is kind-hearted, she accompanies you to drink wine and eat meat, she can accompany you to go far away." ”

The man outside sighed lowly, and then spoke, his voice was mellow and gentle: "Qingqing, if you are willing, let's go away together, I will definitely treat you as a treasure for the rest of my life, and I will never lose each other." ”

Zhang Qingqing in the carriage finally indulged his sadness, sobbing and said: "Brother Yang, I don't dare, I don't believe you, I'm afraid that after I leave, I think about my father and mother every day, and I think I'm sorry for them every night, if I am sad at that time, you will also be sad, rather than the two of them crying at that time, it is better for me to bear the pain myself, your world is so big, you will eventually meet someone who loves you and loves you, and you will definitely live happily at that time." ”

The man sighed again, then fell silent.

The carriage finally arrived at the corner gate in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, Zhang Qingqing had wiped away his tears, resolutely jumped off the carriage, and said to the man: "Brother Yang, you go, don't blame me, I have unspeakable hardships." After finishing speaking, step by step was difficult but kept walking towards the corner door, stretched out his hand to knock the door, there seemed to be an impatient sound in the door, but as soon as Zhang Qingqing opened his mouth, he quickly opened the door inside, and the two mothers-in-law ran out quickly, extremely attentive, Zhang Qingqing finally couldn't help but look back, only to see that the street was empty, like a dream, nothing had happened.

The door squeaked and closed again, and everything returned to calm, and after a long time, three people quietly jumped out of the backyard, dressed in night clothes, covered with black scarves, and couldn't see their eyebrows. The kung fu of the three of them is good, and they have lost their traces.
