The Legend of Chu Qiu Chapter 18: The City is full of crying

The next day, Huide continued to come to Liu Xizhi in the early morning with a dark circle under her eyes, and she seemed to know that he was always coming to her, standing at the door waiting for him to call her, and then she opened the door and asked him to hold hands and go out to spend the day together.

This time, the two of them went to another breakfast shop in this city, had a different lunch, and couldn't help but sleep sleepily for a noon, but this time Huide slept less for a while, and he was able to have time to take Liu Xizhi to see the scenery or something.

On the third day, Huide continued his "scouting" activities, this time, he spent less time asleep during the day, and it was in line with his daily routine that he had maintained a long time ago, which meant that the time he could spend with her every day was the same.

On the fourth day, Huide did not go to scout at night, and fell asleep early, and he did not sleep during the day.

On the fifth day, Huide kept looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, even if the light was so dazzling and so hot, it couldn't stop his eyes, he wanted to see an answer.

Liu Xizhi suddenly opened her mouth and asked him, "What are you looking at?"

"I don't know. “

Huide also wanted to know something, that thing could be a hint, a change in the sky, or the number of stars, but it didn't, maybe he just needed an inspiration to dig out the secret locked in his mind.

No inspiration would have come up, he felt.

He lowered his head and asked her gently, "What do you want to eat today?"

"Whatever you want. Liu Xizhi still spoke lightly.

Even if I knew that she would say this, I was still not mentally prepared and was still a little lost.

The two of them walked slowly along the street, Huide looked at the passers-by intently, but he didn't notice the deep affection and reluctance in Liu Xizhi's eyes.

For the next few days, the two continued to play, only this time they went out of town to see the grains and beautiful wildflowers that bloomed in late autumn.

Their footprints stepped on the large open space outside the brown bear's den, and Liu Xizhi looked at the monk Huide who was preaching the scriptures seriously, with a smile in the corners of her eyes, and at the same time funny.

The huge brown bear that was sitting opposite Huide, which was one or two times taller than Huide, was sitting cross-legged on the ground with its little baby, looking at the human on the other side who didn't know what to mutter.

After a while, the roar of the Heaven-Shaking Tiger sounded in the forest, but in an instant, Huide did not extinguish the sound, and obediently sat next to the brown bear to listen to Huide chanting, during which the two cubs also restlessly climbed on the back of the big tiger to play. The tiger was furious and was about to move, but he caught a glimpse of the monk who was closing his eyes and reciting the scriptures and glanced at him, so frightened that he immediately lowered his head again, looking obedient and living like a domestic kitten.

After listening to Huide's chanting, these "little" animals made Huide refreshed. I haven't recited Buddhist scriptures for a long time, but today I feel refreshed when I think about it. For the Buddha's sake, I'll let them go today.

Next, Huide took Liu Xizhi to the highest mountain here, and flew down from the sky with her on his back, so that she could experience the feeling of flying.

During this period, the people in the city always came to Huide to chant the scriptures, not to mention that there were many people who went to ask the city lord, Huide shirked in the name of Liu Xizhi before, but he couldn't stand the good words and persuasion of the old man, so he followed him a few times, and then the time between the two became shorter and shorter, and there were only a few hours a day to play.

Liu Xizhi still didn't care about this, but she became more and more quiet, and only occasionally said a word, and the only thing she liked to do was stay in the house and look out the window at the tree, watching its leaves turn yellow, become brittle, and then fall.

When Huide had nothing to do, he just came to her room and sat down and accompanied her to look at the trees outside the window. The two of them sat in the autumn sunset until it was dark and the maids came to hold the lamp.

"I'll go first. "Good"

"It's getting dark, I'm leaving. “

"I'm leaving. "Good"

That's the conversation the two of them have every day.

Soon, time flies by in a flash, and the wedding date has arrived.

Huide walked outside the city the day before, and set off early the next day, riding a red high-headed horse. In front of him were the musicians who played the joy, and behind him the peasants who were pulling the gifts, and the group headed for the city.

There was festive music in his ears, as well as the endless crackling sound of firecrackers, but Huide always had an ominous premonition that could not be waved for a long time.

At this moment, the sound of the farmers suddenly sounded in my ears, "This weather seems to be raining, and it is dark and oppressive." "I also have a feeling, and it may rain a lot, it's late autumn, how do you feel like it's going to rain heavily?"

Heavy rain, so familiar, that dilapidated temple, and how is this ominous premonition becoming clearer?

The rain began to fall, but at first it began to develop into a torrential downpour, and the whole time was no more than three breaths. Huide was led by his subordinates to hide from the rain in his contemplation.

The feeling of foreboding grew stronger, and even a wave of sadness began to surge, and he began to feel uneasy.

After struggling for a moment, Huide slapped the horse's ass hard and dropped a sentence: "I'll go first." So he rode his horse and galloped in the rain.

The ominous feeling in the rain was still getting stronger, the sad feeling was still flooding, and her eyes were beginning to moisten, and Huide didn't know if it was rain or tears.

After running for a while, Huide began to abandon his horse and gallop with all his might, so that only a twinkling figure was left in the wilderness, and each time he appeared, he crossed a great distance, but his direction was not a straight line, and he went crookedly left and right.

After spending twice as long as usual to hurry, Huide finally came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, but as soon as he entered the door, Huide found that this mansion was shrouded in a sad atmosphere for some reason. The sadness had wrapped around his body, and the ominous premonition seemed to come true, so a bald head with tears in his eyes walked quickly towards the backyard

As she said, she didn't like her instantaneousness.

However, his feet were getting faster and faster, and he ran wildly to her room.

There are only three people in the room at the moment, and Liu Xizhi's whole family is gathered in the wedding room at this moment.

She was lying on the bed with a sword in her chest, blood dripping from the ground, and her eyes were looking at the door, as if waiting for someone.

Her parents were holding her and crying.

When Huide entered the door with a body of rain, Liu Xizhi's eyes were filled with a hint of anger. She struggled, raising a hand to point at him, her lips humming.

When the mother always understands her daughter's mind best, seeing that her finger pointed at Huide, she immediately stopped crying and pulled Liu Xizhi's father to cry outside.

Hui De's groom's hat had long since been lost due to the strong wind, and his clothes had become tattered and disheveled, so he walked up to her in a very embarrassed manner.

After all, the sadness gushed out, and tears began to flow.

She took her hand with her fingers, and she was as weak as a child at the moment. He put his ear to her lips, wanting to hear what she wanted to tell him.

"I knew for a long time that there would be today, there would always be a knife stuck in my heart, and in this life, I am very satisfied......" This passage took all her strength, and the intermittent words were spoken for a long, long time.

Knowing that the palm she put on his hand didn't have any strength anymore, Huide knew that she had gone.

She died, and she was grieving.

Huide walked out of the door and watched as the people outside the door rushed in, followed by louder cries.

After saying these three words in this life, Huide finally understood what she saw. Looking up at the sky, the rain crackled in his face and mixed with tears.

No wonder, I sometimes feel a deep sadness in her, and I just thought it was just an illusion at the time.

He should be a heinous bastard, God would punish him like this.

There was a sudden pain in my head, and a picture appeared in my mind.

Huide saw that he and Liu Xizhi were in a strange and familiar environment, and he shouted "Yun'er", "Liu Xizhi" came over and said, "Young Master, what's wrong?" The next picture is that the two don't know what to say, and they are very happy.

Another memory reappeared, and he saw himself lying in a heavy rain with her in her arms, a knife stuck in her chest, and he was crying in broken heart, and next to him stood an equally beautiful but expressionless woman, holding an umbrella.

Another scene appeared, it should be an old man of seventy or eighty years old, Liu Xizhi is a young woman at the moment, the two of them are talking intimately together, but suddenly a knife appeared and stuck it in her chest, Huide held her helplessly, there was still a torrential rain in the sky, and another woman was standing not far away, holding an umbrella.

Immediately after that, one scene after another, each scene was holding him weakly, looking at the knife, inserting it into her chest, and the woman holding the umbrella under the rainstorm.

A wry smile appeared on his face, "It turns out that we have already had so many lifetimes of entanglement, I am so weak, I can't even protect you,....."

The lips of the wry smile immediately turned downward, the tears flowed even more violently, and there was a loud cry with boundless sadness.

The cry spread far through the rain curtain, and everyone who heard it felt boundless sadness in their hearts, and couldn't help crying.

That night, the cry overpowered the sound of the rain pouring down in the night.

This cry came from a bald man crying like a child in a courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.

I was born before I was born, and I am old when you were born. When you fell in love with the world, I had already crossed the cape. Each has its own fragrant grass to inhabit, and it has never been full of flowers.
