Volume 2 Chapter 35 The Frog at the Bottom of the Well Ask for a collection and ask for a recommendation vote
The triennial imperial festival, the Rite of Shadows sacrifice has finally arrived in everyone's anticipation,
Almost at this moment, everyone had a smile on their faces. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because on this day, the empire often gives large amounts of food and forgives insignificant people.
It sounds like the emperor is magnificent.
In fact, it is not good to say that it reduces the pressure of prison.
So many people tend to look forward to this day.
It was early in the morning and before dawn. Tables were set up in the streets.
It is filled with countless amounts of food.
However, no one dared to touch it.
Not even if you're hungry.
A little boy with a dirty face swallowed and watched the food be laid out everywhere.
But he didn't dare to step forward.
The reason is simple, you can enjoy this rare feast only after the sacrifice is over.
Of course it is; The rich and noble people who come here hate today, and almost all of them stay in their own homes and don't go out.
Because today there are untouchables everywhere who don't know where they come from.
It's almost spent in torment.
As a group of cavalry galloped out of the palace gate on horseback.
Holding a thick poster in his hand.
Here is the list of pardons.
Almost instantly, countless people surrounded them, desperately trying to find the name they wanted to see from above.
Some people were happy and excited and shed tears.
Some of them wept loudly with sad faces.
There is a saying that circulates like this.
Once you are not on the list, you have to wait until the next time.
And the next time you wait for three years.
A healthy person barely lives for a month as long as he enters a prison cell.
Snowy night stood in the distance, looking ahead at the sadness and perhaps a hint of mercy in handout.
sighed.
I always thought that it was already dark when I was young, but I didn't expect it to be even more incomparable here.
Turn around and leave the land of right and wrong.
When I came to a bridge, it was empty and there was no one.
Xue Ye slowly took out a lotus lamp and lightly touched the lotus heart with his fingers.
Slowly lit up.
Squat down and slowly descend into the rushing river.
The snowy night was melancholy and watched the lotus lantern drift away.
Self-deprecating.
"How is it possible to swim against the current?"
At this time, a lotus lantern also drifted down.
Xue Ye was also stunned and turned around.
I don't know when two figures appeared next to me.
The two handsome young men have just released the lotus lantern.
With a fair-skinned and heroic face, I have to admit that my appearance has thrown me eighteen streets.
Xue Ye was also stunned, but he didn't expect to see someone with such outstanding looks here.
"Swimming against the tide is just wishful thinking." A cold voice came out of the young man's mouth.
"If you know it's a delusion, why should you let it go."
Xue Ye said with some amusement.
"How do you know that I want it to go against the current, not away from here." The heroic young man seemed to laugh at himself.
"Hehe, I'm vulgar in that way, but I'd like to expect it to swim against the current."
"Oh, to ask for alms?" The young man chuckled.
"What's the point of giving without giving. I just want it to take me where my heart goes. ”
Xue Ye said with a smile.
"You're a very interesting person." The young boy smiled rarely.
"You know that if you go against the current, you may go where you think you are."
"It doesn't matter if it's the place you imagine, the place where I have arrived must be my choice, and your Excellency doesn't have expectations in your heart."
"After all, how can I not know that I am also looking forward to the day when I pursue my own aspirations, but they are still qualified to expect and find, and I can only be here." After speaking, he couldn't help but show a self-deprecating smile
There was a rare silence for a long time on a snowy night.
"Where the heart desires, it will go, although it will not regret death."
"Okay, okay, I didn't expect it to be vulgar, and what do you care about so much in just a few decades of life?"
After speaking, he raised his head and looked at a stranger in front of him, and smiled.
And the servants who followed him were confused from beginning to end, with a blank look on their faces, which was indescribably interesting.
The rain still doesn't stop.
Outside the window, the most ironic and discordant side of the world is still staged.
And inside the window.
I saw two people sitting on either side of a wooden table.
Three delicate side dishes are on the table.
Two pots of sake.
I rarely drink alcohol on a snowy night, because I always feel that it is not particularly good and affects my judgment.
I don't know why I took the initiative to drink with a stranger today.
The two of them had a very pleasant chat.
"What do you think of these people outside, isn't it ironic?"
Xue Ye smiled and glanced up at the window.
"Fifty steps and a hundred steps, there is no sarcasm, in fact, we are not much better than them."
"That's interesting, I don't know if you can explain it."
"They have been in this circle since they were born, like frogs in a dry well, and they can only see a touch of scenery when they look up.
Naturally, they thought that the scenery above their heads was their heaven. ”
"Your comparison is interesting, but it only shows that they don't want to jump out, so who can blame them?"
"It's not that they don't want to jump out, but this dry well is like the backyard of my captivity, how can you escape from my hands if you are like something under my control."
"Then if you are a frog in the well, how will you choose?"
After speaking, he smiled meaningfully and looked at the snowy night.
"If I'm a frog in the well, I'm not necessarily much better than them."
"The gentleman laughed, so I'll change the story. If I had a frog at the bottom of a well, what advice would my husband give? ”
I don't know if I drank a little too much, but Xueye didn't find that I was surprisingly interested in saying so much today.
"We have an old saying there that is very apt, the mantis arm blocks the car, and it is not enough. Since you are a frog, you should be a frog at the bottom of a well. ”
"Oh, isn't that back to square one?" The boy frowned.
Xue Ye said drunkenly.
"The frog at the bottom of the well, even if it jumps out forcibly, it can't jump far, what's the use, mix the frogs, the fish and the dragon are mixed, who can endure me, and wait until the sky rains heavily and floods the dry well. Frogs into the torrent, like fish into the sea, the vastness of the world, let me swim.
”
The fair-skinned face doesn't know whether it is drunk or self-drunk, and it looks particularly ruddy.
Snowy night feels like it's been a long time since I've been so happy to talk casually, the world is too depressing.
The amount of alcohol in the snowy night was very bad, and after drinking a little, I felt drunk and hazy.
Some were tired and lay on the wooden table.
muttered in a low voice.
"When he returns, I will tear down your broken well."
"Young master, is this person drunk?" The attendant next to him said with a confused expression. The young man smiled and knocked on the confused attendant.
A person is depressed and can't find anyone to talk to.
One seems to enjoy listening to others.
Seems to be curious about everything.
Snowy Night never thought that she would have such a pleasant conversation with a stranger.
But the young man in front of him is the best person to listen to.
He doesn't interject at will, but he is very self-contained.
The evaluation is often very loyal.
Xue Ye usually suppresses his thoughts and is afraid of being out of step with the world.
I don't know why I kept talking in front of a stranger today.
The other party was not surprised at all, and when he heard these somewhat out-of-place remarks, he was very calm, but showed a faint smile.
Time seems to pass like sand in your hand, and you can't grasp it.
The two of them seem to hate each other.
Yukiya didn't know exactly how much sake she drank that night, but she was so confused that she didn't know in the end.
The chirping of birds.
I felt a pain in my head on a snowy night, and my mouth was a little dry.
I slowly opened my eyes and didn't know when, it was already early morning.
My arms are numb.
"Huh?"
Xue Ye looked at the black fur cloak that he didn't know when.
It seems that he was indeed drunk.
I can't help laughing at myself, my little bit of alcohol is really bad.
A light fragrance enters the nose.
Seems to be much more sober.
It smells good.
The texture is very soft and warm. It seems to be made of the finest materials.
Look at the other side empty.
Snowy Night stretched.
"Checkout."
"Guest officer, the account has been settled. Those who come with you have already paid for it. ”
Xue Ye blushed for a while, but he didn't expect to be invited for some reason.
It's a really good mood.
