Chapter 159: A Glimpse

Kyoto Castle is just one of the rivers that pass through the city, and the Anwa Bridge is just one of them.

In addition to the ornamental lanterns in the hand, there are also lotus lanterns that are written on their wishes and put into the river and Kong Ming lanterns that rise into the sky. Most of the people who lit the Kong Ming lanterns would gather near the academy in the city, and there was no fixed place for the people who lit the lotus lanterns, after all, the meandering river spanned half of the city, and there were many open spaces by the river, and there were many people coming and going.

I don't know when it started, but the people of Kyoto believe that lanterns can convey people's wishes to the gods of the past, and if they can get the slightest bit of joy from the gods, all the wishes made will be fulfilled.

It is the lantern that can convey the wishes, and the way the gods see the lantern is also different in the eyes of people. Some people believe that the gods live in the sky, and when the Kong Ming lantern rises, the ubiquitous wind will carry the Kong Ming lantern together to convey people's wishes to the gods, and some people believe that the gods live underground, and the lanterns flowing down the river will wake up the sleeping gods, of course, no matter which of the above is just a rumor, and no one has really seen the gods.

Lantern watchers may gather on the streets of the city to enjoy the fun of guessing the lanterns; Maybe they will stand near the academy or beside the river, and make their heartfelt wishes, looking forward to the day when their wishes will be realized.

Anhe Bridge is one of the many bridges on the river, because there is a three-story restaurant next to it, and there are not many people who come to Anhe Bridge every year to see the lanterns.

However, because the Anhe Bridge is used to connect the two sides of the river, there are actually many people who come and go on the bridge on the day of the Lantern Festival.

In Wen Ru's memory, Ah Yu saw that the little maid next to his brother sent a half-finished lantern and a lotus lantern bought from outside.

At that time, Wen Rugu stood in front of the window, looking at the lanterns in the yard from a distance, and at night, she didn't have much energy to keep a long sleepless night, so she fell asleep early.

Not long after I fell asleep, I was awakened by the movement outside.

Wen Rugu asked Mama Chang to go outside to inquire what was going on, but the news she got was that Wen Huan accidentally fell into the river when she was looking at the lanterns.

The river water is so cold in winter that once it falls into the water, the thick clothes on the body are wet by the river, and immediately it is like carrying a heavy stone on its back, and the person falls into the river.

She got up in the middle of the night, hurriedly dressed herself, but forgot to comb her hair, and went to her brother's yard like that.

At that time, there were many people she didn't know standing in Wen Huan's courtyard, all of them with swords at their waists, and they looked like they had a bad spirit. Although she was frightened, she still wanted to go in and see her brother, at least let her see if he was okay.

As a result, when she entered the courtyard gate, she was covered with a cloak by the oncoming Master Wen San, and it was dark in her line of sight, but before she could reach out and take off the cloak on her head, she was half-dragged back to her yard by Mama Chang, and naturally she couldn't enter Wen Huan's room.

But now that I think about it, the person in the room at that time may not be Wen Huan!

Wen Ru didn't get to see her brother, and she didn't ask what happened in person, but after that, she still learned about what happened on the day of the Lantern Festival from other sources, although the truth she knew may be half-true, but after careful reasoning, it is not difficult to guess the real truth.

It is said that Wen Huan was invited to go out to see the lanterns on the day of the Lantern Festival, and when he arrived at the Anhe Bridge, he happened to catch the bridge collapse. At that time, the people standing on the bridge were like dumplings, all of them fell into the river with a clatter, the river in Kyoto is not deep, but no matter how shallow the river can drown people, not to mention a group of people who fell into the river without warning, how can they not panic!

The fortunate thing in the misfortune is probably that no one really drowned that day, but there were many people who were disabled.

As for the crown prince of the current dynasty, the news about him only came out a few months later.

It was already the time of spring hunting, and Wen Ruyu rarely inquired about things outside, but during the spring hunt, the emperor was assassinated, and the prince sacrificed his life to save him, but he injured his leg and has been lame since then.

Rumors are always half-truths.

Ah Yu didn't think that the prince's leg was broken during the spring hunt, because in the months before that, Wen Ru was suddenly turned away by Wen Huan.

On the second day after the Lantern Festival, Wen Rugu took Mama Chang with her to visit Wen Huan, who accidentally fell into the water and contracted the wind chill and couldn't even get out of the door. The people guarding the courtyard were not from the Wen Mansion, they blocked the gate of the courtyard and never agreed to let her in.

If it was just two or three days, the flaws might not be so obvious, but for a few months, Wen Rugu didn't see Wen Huan, but when he went to ask his grandfather to say goodbye, he saw a young man in a wheelchair, she just glanced at it in a hurry, and didn't pay too much attention to it, and now I think about the young man in a wheelchair, isn't it the prince!

People who only hurt their legs during spring hunting, but they were in a wheelchair a few months ago, can there be no cat greasy in this, then it's really a strange thing!

Push it forward a little further, and the prince is probably also a victim of the collapse of the Anhe Bridge.

Thinking back to Wen Ru's memories in his heart, some speculations can only find some evidence, and there is no real evidence, whether it is true or false, no one can say clearly.

But it's not a bad thing to surround the Ann Wo Bridge!

Even if the prince didn't hurt his leg because of the collapse of the Anhe Bridge, but after surrounding the Anhe Bridge and not allowing others to pass, if it collapsed again on the day of the Lantern Festival, no one would come and go from above, and naturally no one would be injured, and her brother would not fall into the water again, wouldn't it be a good thing?

Ah Yu always felt that Wen Huan was in conflict with the water, in Wen Ru's life, he died in Lishui, this time it is better to let him avoid the water's edge as much as possible.

What if she did nothing this time, but the consequences of the collapse of the Anhe Bridge changed, and the people who had not died died died?

Natural and man-made disasters that can be avoided have a way to be avoided, why must they develop according to the previous trajectory!

"If it is at other times, let me take people to surround the Anhe Bridge, it's not impossible, but on the day of the Lantern Festival, there will definitely be many people watching the lanterns, and there will only be more people coming and going from the bridge, not less, and I can still do this master for a quarter of an hour, but if the time is longer, it won't work."

Xie Huai'an thought about it carefully and felt that A's request was a little too difficult.

He used to have a great reputation in Kyoto, but it was all a reputation that was spread by others through false rumors, if he really dared to do anything illegal and undisciplined, he didn't have to wait for the government to arrest people, Master Xie and Xie Huaining would never let him go.

Ah Yu also knows that his requirements are difficult to be, but this is also something that cannot be helped.

She learned about the collapse of the Anhe Bridge in Wen Ru's memory, and she also saw what the Anhe Bridge looked like after the collapse, but she couldn't tell her exactly when the Anhe Bridge collapsed. And no one knows if things will change when Wen Rugu becomes Wen Rusu!

Mao Mao, who has been close to her legs since Ah Yu entered the door, got into Xie Huai'an's side from under the table at this time, pulled Xie Huai'an's sleeve with his little hand, and pulled it twice, when he saw Xie Huai'an looking down at him, he beckoned to Xie Huai'an, and whispered to Xie Huai'an: "You help my sister!" ”

Xie Huai'an raised his eyebrows, Mrs. Xie and others at home always said that the child missed him the most, so they should let them see how the child and Ah Yu get along, and they should know that the child's favorite talent is not him!

Such emotions passed in a blink of an eye, Xie Huai'an pinched his hairy face without any psychological burden, and then looked up at Ah Yu.

"I really want to help you with this, but you also know that those people were left by my uncle to Mao Mao and me, and if there is no decent reason, I can't guarantee that they will actually do what they are told......

Ah Yu was indeed very disappointed for a moment, if she could say any decent reason, she would have gone to find her grandfather or Wen Huan a long time ago, how could she wait for Xie Huai'an's reply.

She pushed the teacup in front of her with her fingers, watched the lid of the cup spin on the table, and didn't say a word for a long time, but finally held back a sentence, but it sounded like mockery.

"If I say that the Anhe Bridge will collapse on the day of the Lantern Festival, will you think I'm talking nonsense?"

When Ah Yu spoke, Xie Huai'an happened to pick up the teacup, took a sip of tea, the tea in his mouth almost choked him, and after coughing twice, he looked at Ah Yu opposite: "Did you see the collapse of the Anhe Bridge in your dream?" ”

Instead of believing it, he still didn't believe it, but asked a seemingly unrelated sentence.

Ah Yan frowned, she suddenly felt that Xie Huai'an was not sarcastic about her.

The little girl opposite seemed to be offended by his words, her brows frowned slightly, and two blushes rose on her cheeks, Xie Huai'an picked up the hair that was trying to pinch his leg next to her, and put it on the wooden chair on the right, and then explained to Ah Yu: "Before my cousin went out to travel, he told me about you, and he said that you are a person with great opportunities, and when you cross the first catastrophe of life and death, you will have the opportunity to glimpse a glimpse of the future from your dreams." ”

The statement of Xuan Zhi and Xuan happens to correspond to Ah Yu's situation.

Didn't she just get those memories of the future after she crossed a life and death! It's just that she sees much more than a glimmer of the future.

However, Ah Shen didn't dare to reveal all his hole cards like this.

She subconsciously held the teacup in front of her, didn't dare to drink the tea, maintained a posture of sitting upright, and said, "Isn't predicting the future something that only gods can do?" I'm just a mortal, how can I have that ability? She denied it.

Xie Huai'an nodded and said, "I also think what my cousin said is a bit exaggerated, but there are always endless strange people and strange things in this world, and no one knows if it is true that someone can predict the future." You think it's probably a gut feeling that the Anwa Bridge will collapse, and I've had similar experiences before. ”

"Just two years ago, or the Lantern Festival three years ago, my brother was going out to participate in a poetry meeting, I also followed, before I went out, I thought something not very good would happen, so I brought two guards, and put a dagger in my arms, and finally sure enough, I was forced by the kidnapper to say that it was a runaway young master, they wanted to take me away, and the onlookers next to me have been coaxing, saying that I was too willful or something, and as a result, I took out the dagger and stabbed the crutch, My guards came over, and they were sent to the palace......"

He said it lightly, in fact, the situation at that time was extremely dangerous, after the abductor was injured, he didn't control his strength, and directly knocked him to the ground, if it wasn't for Wen Huan who happened to pass by with someone, he was afraid that he would be killed by the crutch that broke the jar, after all, the dagger had reached the crutch at that time.

Ah Yu was silent suddenly, and she found that she was a little impressed by the scene she said to Xie Huai'an.

On the same day in the same year, she was almost abducted by a kidnapper, and the reason why Wen Huan would pass by with someone was because he was in a hurry to take Ah Yu to see the doctor.

Probably because of a similar experience, Ah Yu did not refute again, but followed Xie Huai'an's words and said: "Then can you send people to surround Anhe Bridge on the day of the Lantern Festival?" ”

Xie Huai'an smiled at Ah Yu: "Of course you can, and if you look for me in this matter, you really found the right person!" ”

Ah Yu was stunned for a moment, not knowing where Xie Huai'an's words began.

I only heard him continue: "You should know my cousin, even the name you use now is still discussed by him and your grandfather!" ”

The last time Ah Yu heard the origin of his current name from Mrs. Wen, it turned out that his grandfather's friend who served in Qin Tianjian was Xie Huai'an's cousin!

Xie Huai'an: "When my cousin grandfather was serving in Qintianjian, divination was the most effective, but now that he has resigned and wandered away, he will occasionally send two letters back, and his letters will always appear next to me in a very inexplicable way, and he will only send me letters, and when the time comes, I will tell them that it is my cousin's divination that the bridge will collapse, which will not only be more convincing, but will not involve you." ”

Back then, my grandfather said that Ah Yu was a person with great opportunities, but it was because of excessive drinking. After that, his cousin also specially approached him and asked him not to spread those words, because if others knew about Ah Yu's special features, it would bring disaster to Ah Yu.

Xie Huai'an and Ah Yu have no deep hatred, they are even friends, so they naturally want to keep a secret for Ah Yu.
