2. Who is the one who can be trusted
When Pei Ju paced Fang Bu from his study to the small side hall, he was still thinking in his heart: What kind of person is it, who refuses to be named, but can force his long-term followers to make an appointment, and must force himself to come to private for a while?
The direction he walked was the back garden of Pei's Mansion, which was in a secret location, and it was not the main gate that people wanted to walk. That man must be in secret?
The plaque of the small partial hall that Pei Ju is going to is: Send water by the wind, so it is also called 'water hall'.
When the time was near, the flower moon outside was quiet, but the candlelight in the water hall was dim.
As soon as Pei Ju walked to the door of the water hall, he saw a woman's delicate figure standing by the window.
Pei Ju's footsteps increased slightly, and the woman had already heard the voice first, and shouted, "Third brother." ”
A hint of surprise crossed Pei Ju's face: "Sister Ling? How did you get here? ”
Pei Hongli turned around, Pei Ju had already grabbed her hand, and said with a smile: "Hehe, let Brother Ju see, have you changed over the years?" ”
As he spoke, he chuckled, "I mean—has it gotten a little ugly?" ”
Pei Honglian's face smiled, and the smile reflected a little candle red from the lights, which was beautiful.
Pei Ju saw her smile, and couldn't help but think of his childhood, and felt happy for no reason. I only heard him say: "Do you remember how many times when I was a child, I always looked at you so stupidly, I couldn't say a word for a long time, and finally I said: 'Can't you be ugly and I'll show you once?'" Even if it's only ugly for a short time? Even if it's just ugly once? ’”
When he mentioned the old things, Pei Hongli couldn't help laughing. Pei Ju was even more happy, and pulled a lock of hair from Pei Hongling's sideburns with his fingers - but it wouldn't make her feel pain as she did when she was a child, and said with a smile: "Okay, now that Ah Sick is not here, no one will stand up for you if I bully you." - How did you get here alone? Didn't follow? Your face...... What's wrong with your face? ”
At this time, he was surprised to find that there was a small burn mark on Pei Hongli's bright eyes and left cheek. Just now, it was a reunion of brothers and sisters, even talking about the past, talking and laughing Mowgli - as if everything happened only yesterday, but it was accidentally stolen by the thief of time for ten years - but under this look, the burn marks so really emerged from the life that was completely isolated from each other and completely ignorant of each other, as if telling the flow of all time and the hardships and troubles at the bottom of life.
Pei Hongli also calmed down, she gently swept her sideburns, held back the red tears that were about to leach out unconsciously under the smile, and smiled: "It's nothing, it's just a little relic of a murder I experienced." ”
There was a sudden silence in the water hall. Pei Ju rubbed his hands silently, and said, "You are the one who is bent on chasing and killing and refusing to let go these days?" ”
Pei Hongli looked at him quietly and did not speak.
Pei Ju stood upright, and his heart was miserable: he had known for a long time that there had been many changes under the Dongmi 'Extermination King' Fa Xiang in recent months, but they acted secretly, although Pei Ju had guesses, he was not sure that the people they wanted to chase and kill Zhulian really did not avoid being lonely and widowed!
- And the little sister can almost be said to be powerless!
He couldn't imagine how Xiaomei had spent the past few months. There was an urge to embrace her again as she had been when she was a child—to hold her in her arms as she had been when she first woke up from a nightmare.
But Pei Hongling's back seemed to straighten silently, silently rejecting his comfort.
Pei Ju settled down and woke up from the love of brother and sister. He thought carefully and said with a smile: "Before Yu Zheng died, what did he leave to you?" ”
Pei Hongli didn't answer, but Pei Ju had read the answer in her silence, and only heard him say angrily: "That poor scholar, marry my sister-in-law, just be his idle official." It doesn't matter if he can't give you a moment of stability before he is alive, even if he dies, you can't be quiet! ”
He rarely gets angry, and when he is angry, he only feels his blood surging, and as soon as he stretches out his hand, he slams it on the side of him. He slapped it very hard, and a precious Hanyu finger on his finger had been smashed, but then he heard the little sister speak quietly:
"Third brother, don't blame him."
"It's me: I—will—will—"
Pei Hongli lowered his head gently, but this hanging head was not timidity, but a kind of fierceness. She is not the kind of woman who is accustomed to showing her resoluteness in front of others, and she always feels that resoluteness, if she can't help but show it inadvertently, will accidentally offend this calm and tired world—what is she dissatisfied with? Yue Zheng entrusted her with the most important career in his life, what is she dissatisfied with? She had nothing else to say but three words: I do!
- The little sister is no longer the little sister she used to be. A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in Pei Ju's heart. That feeling of powerlessness, accompanied by the vicissitudes of the years, will float in his heart from time to time recently.
After a while, he said in a dumb voice: "Then what did he give you?" ”
Pei Hongli knew that there was no need to hide it from this brother who had always been talented, but she still looked at her third brother quietly for a long time before she slowly took out something from her neckline.
I only heard her say sharply: "Who would have thought that this thing would provoke Dongmi so angry......
"All I know it's called—"
"Liver and gallbladder records."
"This is the only thing that Yue Zheng left me and my childish mother and son."
Pei Ju's hand slammed his forehead, and this one was so hard that his head was a little red by himself:
"Is there really such a thing in this world?"
He sighed in amazement. Then, he suddenly burst out laughing, and his laughter was hoarse: "Little sister, you know, when you married Xiao Yuzheng, I looked down on him a little. This poor man from a humble background, but with a sour backbone that came from nowhere, he went all over the world to touch hard. However, after all these years, I still have to admire him. Today, everyone in the DPRK has shrunk, since the old minister Ding Zhongshu left, he still dares to be in the court, but the only one who stands proudly in the world is you Yue Zheng. That's all...... There is no shortage of hard-hearted generations, but what I admire now is that he really grasps the same secret that has been faintly circulating in a small circle and is said to exist in the world. Hey, hey, Dongmi has been in the thick for a long time, and he has repeatedly thought about changes, but for you Lang Jun and a scholar, and a self-constructed volume of "Hepatobiliary Records" in his hand that is only rumored in his hand, he has endured it for many years, and he doesn't dare to give it a try! This courage, hehe, even if you are the third brother and me, in the world, I am afraid that no one can match it! ”
As soon as he said that, he lowered his head and stared at Pei Hongli like an eagle: "Do you know, what are the secrets in the "Liver and Gall Record"? ”
Pei Hongli looked at him quietly, in front of the third brother, there was no need to hide it anymore.
She looked at Pei Ju for a long time before she said: "Third brother, I know, you know if you want to come, and you also know about ten thousand cars." ”
"That's why I came to you."
Suddenly, she slapped it violently, and with a 'snap', she fastened the small paper parchment scroll on the case. I saw her staring at Pei Ju: "It's here." ”
"Do you really want to see it?"
"As long as you give me a promise, this thing, you will take it now. I can handle it in the world, but I'm afraid that now there is only you, the third brother. ”
She looked at Pei Ju, as if she wanted to squeeze a trace of courage out of the third brother's eyes.
——Yue Zheng said before his death that this record of "Liver and Gile" is one of the most relevant places today, not only interfering with his life, but also involving the lives of many people, or even the lives of the people in the world. She remembered that Yu Zheng said to herself before she died: "This booklet, you can entrust it, in today's world, there may only be two and a half people......"
——His gaze suddenly became dim, and he seemed to be unsure whether Pei Hongli could find the two and a half people.
- Among the two and a half people, the person in first place can't say it, can't say it, and Xiao Yuzheng only told her a hidden word; The second person, Pei Hongli remembers very clearly in his impression, his name is Ding Xilin, and Ding Xilin in the Ministry of Water.
As for the last half of the line......
That's her brother - Pei Ju!
The expression on Pei Ju's face changed in an instant, and Pei Hongli looked at his third brother, who had always been calm and often rated by outsiders as 'calm in every major event', and his heart was clearly fighting violently.
She turned, her eyes suddenly wet. That's not for sadness, but for a sudden feeling of desolation - the metabolism of life is like this, that is, like brothers and sisters, after years of not seeing, a moment of joy, and finally unconsciously entangled in these people. She knows that Brother Ju is no longer the Brother Ju he was back then, and she is no longer the self she was back then.
Perhaps his arrival was just a game of chess that he had to face in his already troubled life.
Pei Ju rubbed his hands together, only to hear a series of slight bone knuckle sounds between his palms. Pei Hongli looked at him in amazement - this voice didn't seem to be from his third brother, who had always been gentle as jade. The sound of the knuckles crackled in her ears, and then the sound suddenly stopped, like the beginning of a rainstorm, Pei Ju's sideburns suddenly soaked in a layer of sweat. As soon as the sweat came out, the sound between his fingers suddenly stopped, as if the sweat had drained his energy.
I just heard him say quietly: "What promise do you want me to make to you?" ”
Pei Hongli suddenly pulled out a small silk sac from his arms, a little ashamed, but more resolutely: "Attached Heart Gu, this Attached Heart Gu." As long as you are willing to let me plant this Possession Gu on my body, once you break your promise, I have the ability to take your life at any time. ”
What is this "Liver and Gall Record", which made her have to say such a cold sentence. Pei Hongli said it very lightly, but she herself felt that this was not like a conversation between brothers and sisters, but like a ......
Pei Ju's eyebrows suddenly frowned, he looked at the little sister in front of him as if he had met Pei Hongli for the first time-Possession Gu, how could she have this thing?
Then he suddenly smiled: "The temptation of this thing is indeed great. I know how much power is inside. ”
After a pause, Pei Ju said: "But if this is the case, and the commitment you want is so heavy, then, third brother, don't want it, you better forget it." Did we find a suitable time to burn it, and the husband was not guilty, but he was guilty. This burning, that is, it should be burned secretly, but it can be known to the people in Dongmi and Qingliu Society. ”
He had a faint smile on his face, but Pei Hongli only felt a long cry ringing in his heart. Even if she was abandoned by 'Chang'an Yue' that day, she didn't have this kind of feeling of 'what to send in the world' in her heart - the third brother didn't answer? Even the third brother refused to take it? He's going to burn it himself!
But、Can you? Can she? This burden, she originally hoped that she could be relieved of it!
- "Liver and gallbladder" is a record of the world.
What's the matter, the world is just ice and snow?
If the third brother doesn't take it, if he wants to force himself to burn it, if even if he can keep it, he will never find the person who can pick it up, then Yue Zheng will devote his life to it and get a record, isn't it just a 'life on paper'?
- Even though hematemesis is trying to help......
It's just that, it's just on paper?!
