Chapter 82: Leaving in disgrace
I don't know how much time I slept, and suddenly I heard Ai Cai's voice outside the door: "Song Gongzi, Miss Xue'er is here!" ”
At this time, I heard Ling Xue's urging voice again: "Brother Song, why don't you go to practice!" We've been waiting for you at the archery range for more than an hour. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Song Qi slowly opened the door and said in a calm tone: "My archery level is accurate enough now, and I don't need to practice anymore." ”
Ling Xue saw that Song Qi's face was not very good-looking, so she asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”
"No discomfort." Song Qi shook his head and smiled at Ling Xue, "I think we can leave here and go wherever you want." ”
When Ling Xue heard this, she seemed to be a little unconvinced of her ears, and stared at Song Qi with her eyes and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
"Really!" Song Qi's tone of voice was categorical and unquestionable. "It's true!"
Ling Xue was overjoyed when she heard these words coming out of Song Qi's mouth. To be honest, Ling Xue had a very aggrieved time ago. Especially in the eyes of Princess Chu Xi's mouth, it seems that Song Qi is Mingyu's eldest brother Song, and he has nothing to do with her Ling Xue. Ling Xue seemed to be dumb playing the pipa under the Coptis tree, making fun in the midst of suffering, and there were words of suffering.
At this time, Song Qi's proposal hit her heart, and she was so happy that she smiled, and danced with her hands: "Brother Song, I didn't misunderstand you!" Saying that, while Song Qi was not paying attention, he approached his face and kissed him quickly, although he did not touch the skin, Song Qi, who was also ashamed this time, had a red face and red ears, and his heart was beating fast.
Just as Ling Xue raised her head and leaned towards Song Qi's face and suddenly retracted it, Mingyu suddenly bumped in from the outside and saw this embarrassing scene with her own eyes. Mingyu's face suddenly flashed with a hint of imperceptible gloom, she calmed down slightly, with a smile on her face, and asked jokingly: "What are you doing, so sneaky!" ”
When Ling Xue saw Mingyu coming in, her face was crimson, she was flustered, and she didn't know where to put her hands, so she had to pinch her clothes indiscriminately, bowed her head and said, "Sister Mingyu, I have discussed with Brother Song, and I will go to Ancustoms tomorrow!" ”
Mingyu heard this too suddenly, at a loss, hurriedly took a look at Song Qi, saw Song Qi nodding in acquiescence, his eyes moistened, and his tone was half reproachful and half reserved: "Brother Song, didn't you say that you would go back in a year?" ”
Song Qi scratched his head and said with a sneer: "That's what I said, but I'm good enough to shoot now, and I should go out to avenge my master." ”
"You left so early in such a hurry, did Ximen Yun tell you something?" Mingyu looked at Song Qi with teary eyes, she wanted to know the reason why Song Qi left early.
Song Qi turned his head, looked away from Mingyu's gaze, and sighed secretly in his heart: "This woman is really psychic, she will be right as soon as she says it!" But at this time, he couldn't admit it, he was going to leave anyway, why bother with Ximenyun, so he raised his head and denied it: "No." Master has saved my life, but his great revenge has not been avenged, and I can't sleep well! Now that my shooting skills are good enough, it's time to avenge Master! ”
Mingyu looked at Song Qi with tears in her eyes and asked, "So, are you really leaving?" ”
Song Qi sighed and nodded wordlessly.
Ming Yu knew that it was irretrievable, and his heart suddenly felt empty, so he sighed quietly, glanced at Ling Xue, and asked, "Did my father say it?" ”
"I'll go tell Uncle Ming later." Ling Xue was happy in her heart, and Cheng Zhu replied with a smile: "We are going to Uncle Jin of Anguan Customs this time, and Uncle Ming will definitely agree." ”
Seeing Ling Xue say this, Mingyu had to sigh and said helplessly: "Since you insist on going, then let me send you to Anhaiguan!" ”
"Sister Mingyu, that's not necessary." Ling Xue refused, and joked with a smile: "You send us to Anhaiguan, and we will send you back to Dream Island, send it back and forth, when will it be?" Isn't it eighteen send-offs? ”
"Then send you ashore, and you must always promise me." Mingyu looked at Ling Xue, then at Song Qi, and said in a begging tone.
"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Ling Xue saw Song Qi nodding, so she agreed.
Although Ling Xue had said that she was in charge of her own affairs, she shouted several times to leave. But if she really wants to say goodbye to Ming Zhugong, she is also very difficult. After all, Ming Zhugong is an elder and loves her very much, and he has saved her life for both generations of her father and daughter. When it was time to really leave, there was still a little reluctance, a little sadness, and it hit my heart.
Ling Xue hesitated and came to Ming Zhugong's study uneasily. Ming Zhu is just reviewing documents at the desk.
"Cher, you're here." Ming Zhu Gong raised his head from behind the document, and when he saw Ling Xue timidly entering the study, he hurriedly put down the document in his hand, beckoned to give up his seat, and ordered Ming Zhu An to serve tea.
After experiencing events such as the stirring up of his birthday, Fan Yinao's betrayal and the sinking of Wanjiu, Ming Zhugong suddenly became a lot haggard, but his spirit was still strong and his attitude was still kind.
"No need!" Ling Xue turned around and stopped Ming Zhu'an, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said softly to Ming Zhugong: "Uncle Ming, thank you for your meticulous care for me in the past few months. ”
"Ahem, silly boy, we are a family, isn't it too obvious to say such things!" Ming Zhugong smiled kindly, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
Ling Xue pursed her lips, lowered her head and thought for a long time, slowly raised her head, and said, "I want to go to Anhaiguan to find Uncle Jin." ”
Ming Zhugong blurred his eyes, stroked his beard under his chin, and said, "Go to Ancustoms?" ”
"Yes." Ling Xue's eyelashes lifted slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes, "My father only died when he went to Uncle Jin's." I'm going there to find my father's killer and avenge my father. ”
Ming Zhugong heard Ling Xue say that he was going to General Jin of Anhaiguan, and it was inconvenient to say anything bad, so he groaned for a long time, and then bowed his head lightly and said: "General Jin and your father are brothers and sisters, and I can rest assured when I go there." After a pause, he replied: "Revenge is not temporary, it cannot be forced, everything has the will of heaven." ”
With tears in her eyes, Ling Xue choked up and said, "I will definitely remember Uncle Ming's kindness to me and never forget it!" ”
Ming Zhugong was also a little sad, in the end, an elderly person, who had experienced a lot of things in the world, and was able to control his emotions, he waved his hand to Ling Xue and stopped: "After you arrive at Anhaiguan, please say hello to General Jin on my behalf!" ”
The next day, Ming Zhu Gong personally sent them to the ship. The boat was moored to the shore, the sails were already raised, and several sailors were ready to go with oars in hand. The boat also carried two tall horses, one snow-white and the other yellow-haired, which were the two horses that Song Qi and Ling Xue often rode on the island.
"What is this?" Song Qi pointed to the horse and looked at Mingyu suspiciously.
"This is the mount my father gave you." Ming Yuqiang said with a smile.
"I can't help it!" We've been on the island for so long, and we've been bothering you so much, and it's hard to take two horses with us before we leave. Song Qi excused himself from Ming Zhugong, intending to pull the horse off the boat.
"Song Gongzi doesn't have to refuse. There is still a long way to go from the other side to Ancustoms, how can you go without horses? Ming Zhugong took Song Qi's arm and pushed Song Qi onto the boat.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Song Qi bowed to Ming Zhu Gong.
"Song Gongzi, I will entrust you to take good care of Xue'er!" Ming Zhugong turned around and held Song Qi's hand, and Yin Yin asked.
Song Qi remembered Ming Zhu Gong's great kindness to him, without Ming Zhu Gong's great rescue, he would either be buried in the sea or torn up by robbers. His heart was sour, his eyes were red, and he was almost about to shed tears, but he didn't choose to say anything, and still continued to call him before: "Definitely!" Please rest assured Mr. Ming."
The sailor pushed the penny to the shore, and the ship shook a few times, and slowly left the shore of the island.
"Uncle Ming, go back, we'll have a date later!" Ling Xue wiped her tears and waved goodbye to Ming Zhugong on the shore. Ming Zhu Gong also waved to them.
Song Qi looked at Dream Island, which was slowly moving away, and tears couldn't stop flowing. He lived on this island for nearly four months, and every mountain, every forest, and every flower and plant here left him with an indelible memory. Isn't it sad to leave now, to travel far away, and maybe not to come back in the future? A strong and unspeakable reluctance welled up in his heart. Who is this reluctance for, he can't tell for a while, is it to Mingyu? Or to Ming Zhu Gong? Or is it to Ai Cai Aifu?
Mingyu also got on the boat, frowned and lowered his eyes, without saying a word, with a sad face.
The ship swayed slowly on the sea, as if it could not carry all these sorrows. The three of them sat in the cabin, their hearts heavy, their faces melancholy, and they were silent, only to hear the sound of cleaving the waves outside the cabin.
The ship rowed at sea for nearly two hours and docked on the shore closest to the Ankon Customs. The three of them dragged ashore with heavy steps.
Song Qi couldn't help but reach out and half-pat and half-stroke Mingyu's shoulder, who bowed his head and was silent, and said in a trembling voice: "Mingyu, I have spent the most unforgettable days of my life on the island in the past few months!" Thank you for your care, companionship and care for me these months! ”
"Thank you, thank you? That's what I'm happy to do! Mingyu raised his eyes and stared at Song Qi, his eyes moist with tears.
"Alas!" Song Qi let out a long sigh and sighed with emotion: "Although we don't want to leave here, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. After we leave, I hope you will take care of yourself, and we will definitely meet again in the future! ”
Mingyu looked at Song Qi with fixed eyes, and replied mechanically like a wooden man: "I hope so!" ”
Ling Xue was also a little unbearable in her heart, with tears in her eyes, she held Mingyu's hand, and said in a choked voice: "Sister Mingyu, take care, we will definitely meet again!" ”
Mingyu nodded silently with tears in her eyes, and waited for Song Qi Lingxue to step on the back of the horse, then turned back step by step, reluctantly returned to the boat, the boat shook out a long way, and still stood on the bow of the boat and waved to Song Qi...
Standing on the shore on a horse, looking at the distant shadow of the lonely sail that gradually disappeared into the sea in the distance, Song Qi's tears fell from his eyes...
