Chapter Eighty-Three: The Qin State Volume (Finale)
That night, I woke up peacefully in bed, the gauze on my mouth had been untied.
At the head of the bed, Zhang Mengtan fell asleep holding a small clay pot against the wall.
I rolled over a little, and he woke up instantly: "Are you awake?" Quick, drink the medicine first. ”
I sat up, took the clay pot, and said softly, "I'm fine, you go back to sleep!" ”
"Let's drink the medicine first, Mingyi has been boiling for more than an hour."
I held the clay pot to my lips, and the juice touched the wound on my lip, making me tremble in pain.
"If it hurts, cry!" Zhang Mengtan gently patted me on the back.
I drank the medicine in one gulp and handed him the clay pot: "I'm fine, you don't have to guard me, go to sleep!" ”
He put the jar at his side, crossed his hands on his chest, and chuckled, "This is my room, where do you let me go to sleep?" ”
"Then I'll go back to my room." I lifted the quilt and tried to get out of bed, but he held it firmly with one hand.
"Just stop for a while, I'm going to be scared to death by you today! Okay, how can you be so frightened that you suffocate? ”
"Did Mingyi say that?"
"Well, why are you afraid of General Wu?" Zhang Mengtan stared into my eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"You tell him who am I?" I took his hand and asked urgently.
"I didn't say anything. Ming Yi said, you are the witch boy he raised by his side since he was a child, and he will lose his temper because he suffers from a chronic illness. ”
"And he believed it?"
"Naturally, he doesn't believe it, although he covers his mouth, he has watched you grow up since he was a child, how can he hide it."
"Where is he now?" I asked in a low voice.
"General Wu originally came to see Zhao Shizi. Now he refuses to leave when he sees you, and now he is still sitting in the lobby, and he has to tell him in person that he believes that you are not Ah Shi. ”
I lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Mengtan took my hand, I glanced back at him, and gently pulled my hand out: "I want to see him." ”
I pushed the door open and felt the corner by the dim light in the hallway.
But at this time, my feet stopped unconsciously.
What am I doing here? Didn't you watch enough last night? Isn't it hurt deep enough?
No, I'll just look at it and look at it again......
I exhaled slowly, took two more steps, and leaned my hand against the wall to look for him.
The noisy inn during the day was now empty, and only a dim yellow oil lamp was lit in the dim hall, and he sat alone in the dappled light and shadow, his long hair scattered to cover most of his face.
Half a year ago, goodbye is like a world away. He sat silently, and I watched from afar, as the midnight wind whimpered through the crack in the door, stirring the flickering lights.
Ashi, I'll take you home......
Ah Shi, you are a luxury that I can't ask for......
Ah Shi, can you take off your guards? If you're afraid, let me protect you......
Ashi, Ashi......
Memories of the past came flooding back to me.
"Ah Shi!"
I slowly raised my head, and the person who had been sitting in front of the desk was close at hand, and the smell of him was all over the place when I breathed in.
Wu Feng suddenly hugged me tightly in his arms: "You are still alive, still alive......"
I stared blankly at the peeled wooden beams above my head, and suddenly I wanted to ask him how much of what you were saying in my head was true and how much was false......
"You speak! Are you complaining about me? "He hugged me for a long time before he noticed something strange about me.
"General Wu, Wu Tong can't speak." Ming Yi appeared behind me, and he gently pulled me out of Wu Feng's arms, "No matter who the general sees at this moment, this is just an illusion. Wu Tong's face was nothing but the thoughts in the general's heart. ”
"Ah Shi, you tell him that you are Ah Shi, you are not my hallucination." Wu Feng held my face and eagerly begged me for an answer.
I looked at him and shook his head blankly, his face instantly fell, and his eyes, which had been shining with a little starlight, suddenly disappeared into darkness.
"General Wu, the deceased is gone, and it is useless to force it. It's better to let it go......" Mingyi's ethereal voice lined with the flickering lights, making everything at this moment feel like a hazy and illusory dream.
Wu Feng gently stroked my eyebrows with his fingers, and he chuckled, just as warm as he remembered.
We looked at each other like this, as if a lifetime had passed.
In the end, he turned back into the unfazed Qin general Wu Feng, he silently saluted Ming Yi, and then pushed open the door and strode out.
The tears that I had been dry for a long time poured out of his eyes like an uncontrolled flood the moment he closed the door.
At the end of the night, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the window into the dark and empty pavilion, I was shocked to realize that the tears on my cheeks had already been cold.
Maybe it's time to leave......
