(5) Flattening the resignation, curtain speech
Yang Chiyu arrived behind the screen, only to see a person lying naked on the ground, except for the familiar face, no skin on the back full of blood stains was intact, and the scattered black hair was sandwiched between the flesh and blood.
He quickly took off his clothes, and his shaky hands covered his miserable back. It's just straight, but its eyes are huge.
The person in his arms was clearly a woman, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, "She looks exactly like Fuping, but it's a pity, she's a woman." ”
"Oh, it's fun now," Mei Mo walked slowly, shaking the black-bottomed vermilion folding fan in his hand, "If you are happy with each other, then won't I become a wicked person who beats mandarin ducks?" ”
Yang Chi's eyes were shocked, and then he looked at the person in his arms, his eyes were fixed on a certain place in shock, and his hand fell on the feather-shaped birthmark on her white shoulder with the trembling of the corners of his mouth, and he suddenly couldn't cry.
His last bit of luck broke completely, and this birthmark was known when he folded back and returned the belt for himself. In fact, when the man put on his clothes, he not only saw the bruise and purple scar on the white shoulder with the master's ring ruler, but this birthmark that resembled a feather was deeply engraved in his heart.
Over the years, he has carved many totems, but he will never forget this vermilion victory over blood and delicate feather patterns. That's why he carved a feather pattern on that pair of peace buckles, which became his token to the next Makusai heir.
It's a pity that he was glad that she was a woman, but she was separated by yin and yang.
"How can this be," he hugged the person in his arms tightly, his already serious face showed extremely inconsistent sadness, and the words of the cry trembled with the corners of his lips, "Fuping, how could you be tortured by them like this." ”
Yang Chi's eyes were down, and he grabbed the arrow on the side and was about to stab at the charm, but he didn't even get close to her before he was knocked to the ground by a burst of force.
"I let the second prince and them all go, but I didn't acquiesce to my crime. I want to surprise you," she slowly approached him while shaking the folding fan, half-bent and eyebrows, and smiled seductively, "It was us who pierced the throat with an arrow, and it was you who plucked out her whole body with your own hands, Yang Chimu." ”
"The flesh and blood on her back are all thanks to you," she straightened up and looked down at the man with shocked eyes, "Don't doubt your imagination, you should have the answer to your doubts now." ”
He saw that as soon as the bewitching woman turned around, she disappeared into the light, and there was no trace of her. Cui Fuping on the ground had turned into a small bird with blurred flesh and blood, and it only turned into a little green light and drifted away in an instant.
"Fuping, don't go, I beg you not to go," he desperately grabbed those green lights like fireflies, desperately catching these fleeting points of light with his sleeves in this broad daylight, it turned out that you said that you don't learn some emerald in this life, because you are a kingfisher.
He looked at his hands for nothing, and never in his life could he have been so disgusted at that moment. He buried his face in the ground and wept silently.
A middle-aged man sat on a chaise longue, his rough and textured hands gently brushing the pair of peace buckles of the brocade box on his lap, and his fingertips carefully brushed over the feather lines.
"You've been gone for a few days, and I've been waiting here for a few days. Spring is going to autumn, and I can't wait any longer. ”
He sighed heavily, and carefully closed the box. While rubbing the box in his hand, he watched the geese in the sky fly south.
Suddenly, there was a sudden look on the old man's face, and his hands trembled forward, and he only said "Fuping, you are here." Then he lowered his hand, and closed his eyes and shed two lines of tears.
"Cousin, you still ...... after all" Yuan Yuan, who had just arrived, dropped the decoction in his hand in shock, fell to his knees and cried.
"Ever since you secretly Chen Cang came out of the prison cell of the official mansion, you expected that there would be such a day. In the past ten years, my brother has never touched the carving knife again, and he just waits for it to be leveled by this staircase every day, and the lovesickness is too much. Yang Chiyu put his arm around his shoulders and helped her up, "A-Yuan, we've done everything we should have done." ”
"Brother, it's been a long time since you've laughed like this!" Yang Chiyu looked at the shallow smile on the chair in the past, stretched out his hand and slowly wiped away the tears on his face, "Now, you can look for it with peace of mind." ”
"My cousin didn't mention anything about what happened ten years ago, and said that Fuping was dead, and my people were about to search the capital and still couldn't find the man's body. If you were in the shogunate, we would know whether Fuhei was alive or dead. ”
No matter what, he is ashamed of Fuping. In fact, the letter left by my brother ten years ago read: "Chi Yu, tell Fuping, I went to the south to find a kingfisher, if the wedding of the lord of Yuanyuan does not have a beautiful hairpin, we will be made fun of by the world." That kid didn't want to learn the craft of Diancui, so I could only do it for me. If I can't make it back to the wedding in two months' time, you have to hand over the contents of this brocade box to Fuping, and then arrange their wedding for me. "Now, let these pasts sink together on the day they bury themselves in the loess.
From the moment he saw Yuan Yuan, he couldn't extricate himself. The pair of peace buckles is a token for the next heir of the shogunate, which should have been passed on to Fuping by his brother, but he took it to the Yuan Mansion to marry Yuan Yuan with a holy decree. The hasty wedding made him happy, but he couldn't forgive himself for the mistakes he made.
For the sake of a little selfishness, he actually deceived Fuping, and he was not the only one who never returned.
He clenched his fists, looked at Yuan Yuan and said seriously: "Ah Yuan, let's revive the prestige of Makusai back then." ”
"We are not short of money," Yuan Yuan took Cui Chiyu's hand a little anxiously, thinking that he couldn't accept the fact that his cousin died for a while, "But Makusai has already fallen apart, and everyone who has the ability has gone to serve the palace?" ”
"Aren't we children clamoring to learn how to carve jade pendants," he patted the back of her hand, and his somewhat bookish face rarely became more serious, "It just so happens that Fuping taught me a good knife technique, and it's time for the world to show the world that person's craftsmanship." ”
"The name of Makusai will go with my brother today," he looked at the serene face on the chair for a long time, and finally opened his mouth leisurely, "Ah Yuan, why don't we call it 'duckweed and dusk'." ”
"Good, very good," she leaned her head on his shoulder, looked at the extraordinarily open sky, and smiled lightly, "In the future, this craft will not be passed on, let the Yang family inherit the craftsmanship of Fuping from generation to generation, it can be regarded as a kind of miss for them." ”
A drop of duckweed water at dawn, ten thousand lovesick tears at dusk.
The autumn wind blew the hair of the man's sideburns on the rattan chair, and as soon as he woke up, it was as if he had changed his soul, looking at Cui Fuping with tears in his eyes, and his heart was unsettled, "In this life, are you still willing to accompany me?" ”
She was stunned, shook her head, stared at those bright eyes and nodded, before she said "um" in a deep voice.
"It's true that we came to see the play," Chu Jiu quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned over and jumped over, took off the pendant around his neck and put it in front of them, "This, but it's from you?" ”
"This peace buckle is indeed true, this pearl is probably not owned by ordinary people such as us, I can't see it." Yang Mu took the pendant and looked at it carefully, and his hand slightly rubbed the lines on it. "But the general inlay method only uses one, but the girl is to fuse two safety buckles into one to put the middle bead in, and the technique is more profound."
Tan Yingkong snatched the pendant from Yang Mu's hand, and said sharply: "Ah Jiu's necklace, I can't give it to you." ”
"Originally, I came to the capital after watching the feathers on this hairpin and the same lines on the pendant," Chu Jiu put the dotted green hairpin on the empty palm, pulled up the sleeve of Tan Yingkong, and said as he walked: "Since the clue is broken, then we are inconvenient to disturb." ”
"Girl of the Ninth Month," Cui Fuping stepped forward and stopped her, "I heard that it has been twenty-five years since a blue bird landed in the world next to the Golden Mother of Yaochi, and she may be able to help the girl." ”
"Oh, yes," Chu Jiu turned his head and looked at Cui Fuping, who was a little nervous, with deep meaning, "Where is she now?" ”
"The Royal Palace"
After watching them walk away, Cui Fuping's nervous expression finally calmed down slowly, but there was indescribable guilt in his heart.
"Back then, a small blue spider sealed my spiritual sense on the spiritual seat you set up for me, and I was able to cultivate my spiritual sense through incense. But after all, she is missing her own wings, and she has made little progress," she grabbed Yang Mu's hand tightly, her eyes looking at the ear room, "Until one day, someone put this fulcrum on the back of the spirit card, and I was able to cultivate into a human form again." ”
"On the day Xu Gongzi came, I learned from your conversation that the blue snow in his mouth was the little spider who saved me back then, so I gave him a little emerald hairpin in your name, which can be regarded as repaying the favor. But the person who found my emerald hairpin made me ......" She closed her eyes, her heroic face was full of girlish helplessness, "I have no grievances with the ninth girl, but I ...... for my own selfish desires"
"What should come will always come, and she will always have to face it even if you don't say it," he interrupted and took her into his arms. The hand patted her back gently, "I heard you call me senior brother, I always feel sad, you can call me Yang Mu in the future." ”
"Okay, Yang Mu."
As soon as the duckweed left the twilight fast, Tan Yingkong held Chu Jiu's face with both hands, tilted his head sideways and asked: "If you want to go, even if the palace is Longtan Tiger's Den, I will accompany you to kill it." ”
"Don't take advantage of Sister Ben," Chu Jiuyi stepped on Tan Yingkong's feet, looking at him covering his feet and screaming in pain, he bent the two cinnabar moles at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "But it's empty, I'm afraid it's not that simple this time." ”
He patted his chest and said confidently: "Ah Jiu, don't be afraid, I am here for everything." ”
"Don't play tricks here," she said, shaking the long blue skirt with her back and jumping forward, "It's my sister's turn to steal a long day of leisure." ”
Her fingertips happened to clamp the falling maple leaf on her head, pinched and turned in circles, tilted her head to look at the bright red on the leaf, and suddenly said, "Afraid? There is something I'm afraid of in the ninth year of junior high school. ”
