Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 228: The finishing touch

When Dai Luan climbed onto the roof, Shi Wuqi was basking in the moon.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" As he spoke, Shi Wuqi reluctantly moved his buttocks, "Beware of not being able to get out of bed tomorrow." ”

"I ate too much at night and couldn't sleep."

The roof was a small platform, and the inn had ropes and clothes hanging from it. The evening breeze blows incessantly, making the clothes swing from time to time. Large shadows rise and fall in the moonlight, and the light is strange.

Dai Luan took a snack when she came up, I don't know if it was stolen from the kitchen. As soon as she sat down next to her, she began to nibble, not at all like she had eaten too much. So Shi Wuqi guessed that she had something on her mind, but she didn't plan to say it yet.

"Your master asked you to come?" He asked. Shanhai must have woken up when he left the house, and he didn't sleep, and he didn't ask.

"Why, I can't worry about you myself?"

"Worried about me? Save it. Think more about yourself and the non-fuel-efficient lamp in your house. No, artillery fire. ”

"The artillery has long been asleep." She stopped talking and looked at the moon as well, "I feel like a cannon fight...... It's like water is wet, you can't light it, it's smoking, but it's not exploding. ”

Shi Wuqi knew what this meant, and he knew why. That umbrella must be very important, those charms and style gods, it takes a long time, it is the result of many years, it is the deposition of time. It was her sword, it was her sword, it was something like a companion who fought side by side.

"Before you go out of town, you may have to help her get a good knife first. Does Shui Wujun still take orders? "No renunciation is joking.

"She's not used to it, is she? And hasn't Shui Wujun been forging a knife for a long time? Dai Luan said, "By the way, you know what? The day you disappeared, Mu Wan was almost like this. ”

"It's such an honor."

"Hey, why don't you sleep. When I got up at night, I looked up and saw you on the rooftop. ”

"Not sleepy." He just said it simply.

"Okay...... I'm not sleepy either. ”

The two of them blew the wind for a long time. In spring, the sound of insects gradually intensifies. Occasionally, strange bird calls are heard, and I don't know what kind of bird it is that haunts at night.

Shui Wujun is not here, but he will come back tomorrow. He said there was trouble over there—big trouble. Things haven't gotten to some point of no return, otherwise Cangshu City will definitely be implicated. But if it drags on any longer, it is impossible to say, this matter must be dealt with. It is said that there is an inseparable relationship with Yingyue-kun, and it is very complicated to explain. As a result, Ruyuejun entrusted the matter to them inexplicably, which was really speechless.

As for Yun Ge...... His father was a really good man. According to Shui Wujun, he would agree to cast that bell for Cheng You because he was threatening Yun Ge's life. The steely will of an old craftsman crumbled overnight. Yun Ge thought about it for a long time, locked himself in the casting room alone, and said that he would not come out of anything, probably because he wanted to be quiet for a while.

It's not that simple. On the way back, Shui Wujun suddenly told them that in fact, Yun Ge's mother also died at the hands of Cheng You. At that time, Yunge was not very big. On a night that was quieter than tonight, Cheng You appeared in the bedroom of the mother and son. Yun Yan had just returned from a busy day's work, and was so frightened by the appearance of this person that he couldn't speak. He didn't dare to shout, for fear of waking up his wife and children on the couch. There was a faint incense in the house, which was a drug.

Cheng You explained his intention softly, and Yun Yun was furious and told him to get out. The only loud roar did not wake the two in their sleep. So Cheng You said: "Since you rejected me once, then you can only keep one." Do you pick one? ”

Yun Gong was furious, but he didn't dare to act rashly. He still had the carving knife he had brought with him from work at his waist, and he quietly touched it and slowly approached. Stimulated by these words, Yun Gong became murderous and tried to kill him with one blow. Cheng You reacted faster, snatched the knife from him while he pounced, and plunged it deep into his wife's throat. The knife blocked her vocalization, and the blood and qi were blocked by the blade, Xiao Yunge was hurriedly tied to his back with a rope, made a cross, hurriedly placed it at the door of the door of his friends along the way, and banged the door frantically before leaving. At that time the rope was tied in a dead knot, and he sharpened the rope with another, more blunt knife. As a result, on the way, his wife lost her breath.

It's hard to say if there's room for maneuver in her death. Maybe it wasn't his wife who slept there at the time, then he might have lost his son, and he didn't want to miss either, which in itself was an inhumane and undeserved choice. Maybe he had gone earlier, and his wife might not have been saved. Or, what if he agreed to Cheng You's request? He didn't know what choice he would make when he knew the end, because fate never gave people a chance to start over.

When they heard about it, it was hard for them to imagine what a cruel story it was for a child. But Yun Kai hid this matter, only saying that his mother fell ill in the middle of the night and wanted to move to the hospital to live. Yun Ge is also too obedient, he never makes a fuss to see his mother, as long as his father says that he has seen it, he will not ask, but he is clearly looking forward to his mother's return as soon as possible. He learned to fetch water, sweep the floor, wash and cook, and continued to learn art with his father, until he couldn't hide it anymore, he told Yun Ge that she was "sick" and died.

What disease, he has not been able to say. But Yun Ge may have been mentally prepared, so he just nodded silently, saying that he wanted to go to his mother's grave to take a look. The tombstone should have been erected earlier than he guessed, but the stone was well chosen, and the inscription was carved by him himself, which lasted for a long time, and I don't know if Yun Ge saw the clue. Even if he felt that it was wrong, he might only guess that his father was afraid that he would be sad and had hidden it for so long. This white lie to protect the child's fragile heart, along with the enduring guilt in his heart, was buried in this small land and never saw the light of day.

I heard that it was raining that day. Dai Luan thought, what kind of mood did Yun Yun have to store the body of his deceased wife in Langzhong, wash the blood on his hands, hide the blood spots on his clothes, drenched in the rain, and came to a friend's house to pick up the child as if nothing happened. Did Yunge cry as a child? Because he couldn't see his father or mother when he woke up, only the familiar uncle's family stood by the bedside, carefully waiting for him to wake up and wait for his father to return. Yun Kai wanted to comfort him and push him to the old man of his friend's house to wipe his tears, but he was wearing a wet outfit and telling the pale and empty lies woven on the road in front of his friends.

It's a lifetime.

No matter where he goes, he can't get rid of the evil spirit that killed his wife. And this demon still covets his own child. He had to bow his head, put on a demon-like mask, and become an accomplice of the demon.

"Why didn't you tell Yun Ge, but told us?"

When everyone was immersed in that sad story, Shanhai asked Shui Wujun like this.

"Because Ruyue-kun didn't let me say it."

At this time, you can tacitly say it to them, and it is also Ruyuejun's instructions. After all, Dai Luan knew that according to his usual character, he couldn't hold back half of his fart after walking such a little way.

It's past Qingming now, and they haven't caught up with the rain. Maybe it will go down later, or maybe it won't. But tomorrow should be a good day, after all, the moon is so beautiful tonight.

"I'm thinking about what Master said."

I don't know if Dai Luan finally couldn't help but be silent, she suddenly said so. She looked at Shi Wuqi's side face, looked at the flowing dark golden eyes, and couldn't guess what he had been through.

Shi Wuqi reacted.

"Mountains and seas? Still is...... Ruyue-kun? ”

"Ruyue-kun."

"Which words?"

"What contradictory words." Dai Luan finished her snack and patted the scum on her hands, "She said that she hates people who violate numerology and seek to die and survive, but she ...... Hints at the matter of our rejuvenating incense. It's a little strange to think about it. ”

"She's your master, and you should know who she is."

Shi Wuqi slapped the closed fan on his other hand. Although he said this, he actually kept thinking about this question in his heart.

"I don't know her." Dai Luan said quietly, "I don't know anyone. ”

So Wu Qi turned his face to look at her. After looking at it for a short while, he turned around again and continued to look at the moon.

"There's a spot there." She pointed suddenly, "Right there." ”

Wu Qi pressed her hand down and said, "Don't point to the moon." There are youkai with cut ears. ”

"Isn't it?" Dai Luan's expression was complicated, "The Lord of the Hundred Bones believes this? ”

Shi Wuqi didn't speak, just shrugged. He also looked over and saw that there were indeed spots on the moon, and there was more than one of them. He hadn't paid attention to it before, and he didn't know what he was thinking every time he looked at the moon. Didn't think about the moon anyway.

"Ruyue-kun is a ...... Very contradictory people. At least that's what I think. Shi Wuqi continued the topic, "But everything has its own purpose, and she has the final say, she knows when and how to induce others to do what she wants you to do." But on top of that, there's always something bigger about it that seems to be what she really believes, and I can't say it. ”

"But she's also gentle."

"Really? You seem to say the same thing about God Wujun. ”

"Everyone has their own unique gentleness." At this moment, she looked like an adult again, "Ruyuejun must want to touch us something by letting us know about Yun Ge, or, let Shui Wujun 'say it', so that we can all feel at ease—although it may not be Yun Ge who listens." And for him, she hid it again, so that he didn't have to be suspicious of his father. ”

"Do you think he wants to know?" Wu Qi asked, "Or, does his father want to say?" If you are at the end of your life. ”

"I don't think it matters." Dai Luan said, "I'm more ...... Selfish. I want to know what my master is trying to do when he says those words. And you know that there may be something wrong in it, but you still want to make this rejuvenating incense, don't you? ”

If you can say that, you prove that you are not selfish. At least not selfish enough. Shi Wuqi smiled, "I'm not selfish." ”

"You're great, then—"

"yes."

The two of them blew the wind for a while. Dai Luan felt a little cold, and began to miss the hot quilt, so she went down first. I don't know how long Shi Wuqi sat alone. When she woke up the next day, Dai Luan deservedly had two dark circles under her eyes, and she was full of energy. She wondered if this man had never needed sleep.

Shui Wujun had already arrived at the inn, and he was drinking a cup of tea. To their surprise, Yun Ge sat across from him. He carried a small package, a short sword from his waist, and was ready to go. He seemed to be in good spirits, unaffected by what had happened yesterday.

At first, they thought that Yun Ge was going somewhere else, so they stopped by here to have a look. As a result, Shui Wujun said that he would go to Wule City with them.

"What about your store?" Shanhai asked, "And those two guys." ”

"Anyway, there is no business, and it is a waste of time to open, so we have to wait a little longer. I made some of my own jewelry at a low price, and gave them some broken silver first. I'll wait for me to come back and open again. By the way, little princess, this is something for you. ”

Dai Luan took the silver ornament he handed with both hands—it was the longevity lock. Compared with the previous one, it is almost carved out of the same mold, the Xuanluan on it is delicate and delicate, the feathers are distinct, and the posture of looking back and lowering the eyes seems to open the eyes at any time and soar out from the lock.

Shi Wuqi asked him why he suddenly decided to follow.

"It's nothing, I just want to go with Master Shui Wu for a while. I still wonder what my dad meant by 'to my heart'. Mizunashi said that he couldn't tell me just by saying a few words, I had to watch it myself.

Dai Luan thought that even if he knew the truth, he would probably forgive his father.

Or, for him, will he hold a grudge against it?
