Chapter 187: Never End
Zhong Jiuchou's outstretched hand slowly put it down, smiled lightly, and felt that Ran Shaotang's expression at this time was like a little girl.
Ran Shaotang didn't know why he looked at him with such eyes, took a step forward, thought for a while and asked, "Then you came to Jingshan later, why didn't you mention this matter to me?" ”
Zhong Jiuchou raised his eyebrows: "Why do you want to mention it?" It's just a matter of effort. What's more, when I first saw you at that time, I had a Jiang Jin's face, and in Jingshan, you looked at me coldly every day, if I mentioned it, would you believe it? ”
Ran Shaotang smiled ashamedly at what he said and lowered his head.
Now that I think about it, she was really fierce to him at that time.
I also had the idea of poisoning him.
If he had mentioned that situation at that time, he really didn't know what would have happened.
"Is that to blame me? It's not like you're holding my pigtails and threatening me everywhere. Or would I do this to you? Besides, I didn't treat you well, I didn't serve you to eat and drink every day, and I gave you the best bedroom to live in. ”
Thinking of this, the guilt in Ran Shaotang's heart disappeared again.
The night was as deep as ink, and there was silence all around.
Zhong Jiuchou turned his head and looked at her: "Actually, you and Jiang Jin are really quite related. I heard that his death made you very sad. ”
Ran Shaotang was silent.
From the first time she saw Jiang Jin, she thought that he was the one who saved her.
It turned out that everything was a misunderstanding.
She glanced deeply at the final nine domains, and then lowered her head, her heart was like a stormy sea, and the waves were turbulent.
Zhong Jiuchou thought that mentioning Jiang Jin had aroused Ran Shaotang's sadness.
A hand was placed on her shoulder, patted it gently, and reassured: "People can't be resurrected after death, everything must be looked forward." I believe that Jiang Jin also hopes that you can live happily. ”
Ran Shaotang was silent for a while, not wanting to continue this heavy topic, and asked him, "Who set the fire that day?" Why are you there? And that little yellow door with me was you killed? Do you still have accomplices? Could it be that the Shura Palace is on a mission? ”
The corners of Zhong Jiuchou's mouth pursed, and his gaze swept over Ran Shaotang's face: "Where did you have so many questions?" Which one do I have to answer? ”
"Answer neither." Ran Shaotang looked at him with burning eyes, full of anticipation.
Zhong Jiuchou remembered the old things of Shen Nian, but frowned.
"I'll just tell you, I didn't set the fire. Nothing else has anything to do with you, you don't have to know. ”
Although Zhong Jiuchou made sense, Ran Shaotang still felt uncomfortable.
For some reason, an image popped into her head.
On the day of the fire in Fanlu Academy, half of the purse that fell out of the killer was not burned, and she still remembered the contents on it.
Kill with a stamp.
The note should have a preface and a follow-up, but unfortunately there are only five words left, and only the word "early" is left in the chapter burn, which she guessed.
She didn't want the Ran family to get involved in the court dispute, so she didn't say a word about this half note to her father and mother.
Later, I gradually forgot about it.
To this day, somehow, the burnt and mutilated jute paper and the five words on it suddenly flashed in her mind.
Thinking of the matter of the Library Pavilion, Ran Shaotang's gaze became deeper and colder when he looked at the end of the nine domains.
She asked faintly: "I heard that you are related to the current Queen Mother?" ”
Zhong Jiuchou was surprised why she suddenly remembered to ask this, but her expression was only slightly paused, her eyelids moved, and she slowly replied: "She is my adoptive father's youngest daughter." We grew up together. ”
Ran Shaotang's gaze stayed on his calm and waveless face, and he sighed: "It turned out to be a childhood sweetheart." No wonder, no wonder. ”
"What's the wonder?" Zhong Jiuchou was baffled by Ran Shaotang's few yin and yang strange words, and looked down at her.
Ran Shaotang spread his hands: "It's nothing." I just think it's a pity that a pair of childhood sweethearts were broken up. That old emperor is really hateful. ”
Zhong Jiuchou's eyes sank a little, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense." I've always treated Hanzhang as a sister. ”
"What about her?"
"She?" Zhong Jiuchou paused, and a trace of panicked gaze swept over her head: "She has already become a wife." We haven't been in touch for a long time. ”
Ran Shaotang let out a meaningful "oh", and then teased: "Don't you think it's a pity?" Life is not interesting? ”
Zhong Jiuchou came back to his senses from the memories of the past, and stared at Ran Shaotang with cold eyes: "Some things can be joked, and some things can't." Don't let me hear that next time. ”
Ran Shaotang heard the anger in his words.
guessed that this guy must have been hurt by the knife, so he didn't let her rub salt on the wound.
If you don't sprinkle, you won't sprinkle.
She's just curious, anyway.
However, the more Jiu Chou wouldn't let her say it, the more she wanted to say more.
"I said, you're in your twenties, why don't you find a little girl to marry and have children? Is it for someone who is like a jade and doesn't want to get married? Or do you have some hidden illness and dare not get married? ”
Ran Shaotang raised his eyebrows at Zhong Jiuchou with bad intentions, and a wicked smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Zhong Jiuchou looked at her, and felt the urge to shoot her to death.
Thinking about the word "hidden disease" she mentioned again, I suddenly remembered that he had the urge to touch her cheek while she closed her eyes just now, and suddenly felt that this was the "hidden disease" he avoided the most, and it was the "hidden disease" that he couldn't let anyone know.
In an instant, his face turned red.
Ran Shaotang had been paying attention to the reaction of the Nine Domains, and after seeing these subtle changes, his heart sank.
Zhong Jiuchou bent his fingers and tapped her on the head, and stopped her: "What are you thinking about every day? If you dare to be disrespectful, no big or small, and no one with a mouth, you will be sent back to Jingshan and locked up. ”
Ran Shaotang looked at him incredulously: "This big brother, are you stupid?" Up and down the mountain, who dares to lock me up. ”
Her gaze met that of Zhong Jiuchou, and suddenly she had a sudden inspiration and rushed into the Tianling Cave: "Oh, you haven't been back to Crossing Mountain for five years, no wonder you don't understand the market." Wait for you and me to go back one day, so that you can see with your own eyes what the current Jingshan is like. ”
Seeing that her topic had finally returned to normal, Jiu Chou curled his lips and smiled, picked up the remaining half of the jar of wine at his feet, took a sip, and handed it to Ran Shaotang, who wanted to grab the wine.
"You also take a sip, the most afraid of life is that there will be no one to accompany you when you drink. I'm lucky to have you, a little nephew, with me. ”
Zhong Jiuchou poured another sip of liquor into his stomach.
Ran Shaotang drank unintentionally, simply took out Tao Xun in his arms, sat on the roof on his knees, and looked at the stars in the sky and slowly blew the song he loved to blow--- "The Love of My Life".
For some reason, Jiang Jinde's face could no longer remember what the outline was.
Zhong Jiuchou drank all the wine in the jar, stood next to him, and quietly listened to Ran Shaotang's music.
After a while, he became familiar with the tune, took out the green chile he was carrying, and slowly merged with it.
The night sky is deep and secluded, and above the quiet Pear Blossom Manor, a slightly mournful song sounds, such as love and hatred, which will never end.
