Jealous Wind Chimes (4)
On a drizzly afternoon, Yan Changan climbed over the wall and came to Ling Fengchi's courtyard, where Ling Fengling was already reading a book under the tree, and steaming green tea and snacks were already prepared on the table beside him.
Yan Changan picked up the green tea on the other side of the stone table, took a sip of it gently, took a bite of dim sum and sighed: "The dim sum in the mansion is fine, but it is the same, the Shizi Mansion is the same, the Ling Mansion is also, and it is not as delicious as the street food."
Ling Fengling smiled, picked up a cup of green tea, and took a sip gently.
"Otherwise, I'll take you out to see what it's like on the street, and you just want to come up with it when I tell you every day, and sometimes what you come up with is not necessarily the same as the real thing."
"I have a leg disease, it's inconvenient to go out, and Mr. Jiang said that I can't go out of Lingfu."
"Who is Mr. Jiang? I heard that he is the master of our school, but I have never met him, and I have found some old people to come and teach, and he himself does not come to teach, and runs around all day long, and you believe such a person. ”
"Believe it or not, no one will let me out of the Ling Mansion anyway."
"Then go over the wall and sneak out!"
"I'll have a way to get you out as long as you want."
"I'll be ready in a while, you can tell your subordinates not to come to your yard at that time, and then we'll go out to play for a while, and then we'll be able to come back."
"How are you going to prepare?"
"The mountain people have their own tricks, I won't tell you first, I'll go and prepare for you to set off early, see that there are really a lot of fun and delicious things on the street, and there are some books on the market that can't be found in the library library."
"Then wait for the good news."
Ling Fengling wanted to go out, he really wanted to see those beautiful Kyoto in the mouths of Ling Yuele and Yan Chang'an.
Yan Changan didn't know how to drum up, and brought a particularly long board, all the way to the eaves, and the other side was also a wooden plank, just like a slide to slide down, the gap between the plank and the eaves was firmly imprisoned by a few bamboos, Ling Fengling was pushed to the eaves by Yan Changan in a wheelchair, and slowly came down.
When he was above the eaves, Ling Fengling seemed to see the whole of Kyoto, with bustling houses and snack streets nearby, and acres of seedlings in the distance.
The day when Yan Chang'an left the house was the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, those people were busy preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people were thinking about guessing lantern riddles, some people were busy making moon cakes, and some people were folding lanterns, everyone was busy.
Ling Fengling looked at this scene and became more and more curious, how prosperous and beautiful this place should be during the Mid-Autumn Festival, spectacular and unimaginably beautiful.
"I actually wanted to take you out during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but after thinking about it, you don't have to go to school that day, and the person who replaced you should come to your yard."
"The person who replaced me, it turns out that you already know!" Ling Fengling was stunned and smiled bitterly.
"You know what, you know that the person who replaces you is a girl."
"Tell me, how did you guess?"
"First, he looks very much like you, not the kind with makeup, but he was born to look very much like you, then there are only two possibilities, one is that she happened to look exactly like you by birth, and the other is your sibling." Yan Changan, his eyes rolled and continued: "I went to investigate, I found out that you also have a sibling sister, your sibling sister Ling Yuele, at that time I was guessing whether it was Ling Yuele, so I did an experiment."
"I seem to have guessed what your experiment was?"
"Those who know me, Ling Fengling, I just shouted the name Ling Yuele behind her back, and she immediately turned her head, she didn't think about it at all, it was a completely subconscious reaction, which proves that this name originally belonged to her."
"Let's go, I want to try the rock sugar gourd you told me before, and the kebabs, I haven't eaten either."
"Okay, I'll take you to the teahouse to listen to the story later, go to the bookstore to buy a few books, there are books that may not be in the bookstore, you will definitely like it."
Ling Fengling ate all kinds of snacks, the taste was okay, the stories in the teahouse were extremely interesting, and the stories told by himself and others sounded different.
And the books in the bookstore outside are indeed the same as what Ling Fengling said, there are some books that are not available in the bookstore, such as books that tell about some strange people and strange things, such as "Strange People in the World".
As the sun set, it was time for him to go back to Ling's mansion, that small place, after that day, he was sick again, he had a fever for several days, and he had a low-grade fever that did not go away, Ling's mansion was panicked, Master Ling invited Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang helped him take a look, and said helplessly. "I told you not to leave the house, did you leave the house?"
Ling Fengling smiled and nodded.
"You've read so many books, you should have heard a sentence, if the sky wants you to die, you have to die, your too strong talent is even jealous of the sky, if it weren't for me, you might have been gone when you were three years old, I could have ensured that you wouldn't die before the crown, and now it seems that you can live for a short time, and exchange a few years of life for a day of happiness, is it worth it?"
"I've been thinking about this question since I was three years old, why am I alive, am I living to live, or what's the point, don't you say that people can do a lot of things, everything I do now is for the rest of my life without regrets, I know you will save me."
"I can't save you every time."
"I know, thank you."
"You shouldn't thank me, you should thank you for your good luck, next time you won't necessarily have such good luck, I suggest you don't take such a risk again."
When Ling Fengling was well, Yan Changan climbed over the wall. I apologized to him. "It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of you, so I made you sick."
"It's okay, I'm very weak, and this is what I want to go, I don't regret it, what are you ashamed of?"
"You're well."
"Okay, it's just a little cold."
"Then drink some green tea to warm your body."
"Okay, then I'm not that weak, I'm not used to you doing this."
Since that day, Ling Fengling has never been out of the Ling Mansion, but Yan Changan still comes every day, as they grow older, they have seen more and more things, and they also know that there is a thing in this world, called wine, after drinking, they will be very confused, very unconscious, and can forget their troubles.
Ling Fengling had read the words and poems describing wine more than once in the book, and he knew that wine could dispel sorrows, but after the wine woke up, he found that nothing had been solved, wouldn't he be more troubled and more worried?
Yan Changan laughed after hearing this.
