Volume 1 Where is the King of the Sword Chapter 40 Where My Heart Belongs is Home
When Shen Zhiqing learned that Bai Xuan had not been rescued, his hands shook unconsciously, and the water in the teacup accidentally spilled out. When Wu Xiang saw her gaffe, his heart also tugged, and he lowered his head and sighed. The two sat silent for a long time. "Will I ever get a chance to meet him?"
Wu Xiang shook his head, "No one can approach him now, and Liu Lun can't get in." ”
Shen Zhiqing's lips moved, she wanted to see him, but she was afraid to see him, she was afraid that when she saw him now, she would be so heartbroken that she couldn't help it. Now he is like a wound in his heart that has not healed for a long time, it hurts when he touches it, and he can't erase it if he doesn't touch it.
At night, Qingping faced the night sky, a meteor crossed by, and said to himself: "Life does not meet, move like a participant." ”
The street was getting bleaker and bleaker under the autumn wind, and when Wu Xiang found Shen Zhiqing, she was watering a pot of orchids in the house. "Bai Xuan will be beheaded in three days." This sentence was like a muffled lightning strike, which made her a little trance, and the kettle in her hand fell to the ground. Qingping looked at her, and his expression did not change. Wu Xiang said that the Bai family was involved in the anti-party, and the three clans were connected, the men asked to behead the army, and the women were sold into brothels. They all had a hunch that Bai Xuan's fate would be like this, but when it really came, no one was willing to accept it. "Can you still see Bai Gongzi?" Qingping saw Shen Zhiqing's sluggish expression, and asked this sentence for her. Wu Xiang shook his head, "However, Lin Yongqin allowed Liu Lun to visit, and it seems that he wants him to make Bai Xuan's list of Tongxing Society. ”
"Do you think Bai Xuan will tell Liu Lun?" Qingping asked.
"Although I am not familiar with Bai Xuan, I heard that he has endured so many tortures before and has not yielded, and he is a righteous man who would rather die than give in. I believe that even if Liu Lun is his master, he will not betray others. In this regard, Wu Xiang admired Bai Xuan's integrity.
He thought for a while, "I've been going to see him with Liu Lun these days, if you have anything to say, write it down, and I'll give it to him." ”
"Okay, write it down." Qingping looked at Shen Zhiqing, this was also the last thing he could do. Shen Zhiqing picked up the pen, his hands trembled a little, calmed down a little, and wrote a piece of paper and handed it to Wu Xiang.
After Wu Xiang left, Shen Zhiqing had not recovered from the heavy thoughts, Qingping did not bother her, and continued to flip the book. "Master, what should we do with Liu Lun?"
"The opportunity is coming, it's time for me to clear the door for me."
The day before his execution, Wu Xiang accompanied Liu Lun to the prison to bring wine and food to Bai Xuan. "Xuan'er, the teacher came to send you, but the teacher didn't protect you." Liu Lun sighed and laid out the wine and food in the basket one by one, "Today, I will have a drink with you for the teacher." Bai Xuan didn't make a move, Liu Lun thought that his heart was like ashes, so he drank it himself. Xuan'er, I'm sorry that I didn't rescue you. Liu Lun hung his head, he had no other way at this time, but he didn't want to miss the last opportunity to get the list of the Tongxing Club, "I thought about it, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, if there is a list of the Tongxing Club, you don't have to end up like this, and your family may not have to suffer the death penalty." This is also the last filial piety. ”
Bai Xuan glanced at him, "Betraying my colleagues to fulfill my filial piety, my Bai family can't afford this filial piety." Master, I am ordered by you, and I have to pass on your art, this cup is considered as my respect for you, and our master and apprentice will be over. Bai Xuan raised his glass and drank.
"Broken? Xuan'er, what are you? Liu Lun was a little surprised.
"Forgive me for hiding it from you, I am also one of the Qingyun Commanders." At this time, Liu Lun's eyes widened. "Do you know Gu Feng, my token is passed on to me by him. Originally, I didn't know about your relationship, until I saw the news left by Gu Feng in the token before I had an accident. If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, so Master, please do it yourself. ”
Liu Lun stood up, his voice a little trembling, "Bai Xuan, you, you even know it, and you have been hiding it from me for a long time." Sure enough, it is Bai Jingtang's good son, and the city government is so deep. ”
"By the way, although my father invited you to the mansion as a guest, he knows that you have already worked hard for the Lin Mansion. Therefore, he will not listen to your instigation to be a raccoon dog with Lin Yongqin and kill scholars. Even if I didn't know what you had done, if you asked me today, I wouldn't have said it, and my parents would have agreed. ”
"Yes, yes." Liu Lun was furious, "Your Bai family wants to get a loyal martyr, right, then I will fulfill you." Anyway, you can meet tomorrow under the Yellow Spring. Then I might as well tell you that it was Qingyunsi's people who told Lin Yongqin about Sifang Lane. After all, you have made the Lord in the hands of your own people. Liu Lun sneered loudly and walked away, "Ridiculous, ridiculous." Wu Xiang secretly turned his head, looked at Bai Xuan, and pointed to the basket.
When they walked away, Bai Xuan opened the basket, the middle compartment seemed to be empty, he pulled out the surface, and a piece of paper was revealed inside: Qingqingzi Pei, you think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come. This familiar handwriting, without a signature, he also knows who it is. He held the paper, and tears dripped from the paper, blurring like the flowers that fell under the red bean tree when they first met.
He rubbed the red bean bracelet on his wrist and closed his eyes, the girl who made people's eyes shine, the lover he missed in his heart, was still smiling like a flower. "Let's go home." He called softly. The girl looked at him, her face stained with sunlight, revealing two lovely pear vortices, "My heart is home." ”
"Let's go home." Bai Xuan groaned, he held the paper in his arms, "I'm sorry, I'm going to go first." The moonlight like water sprinkled a frosty white from the high windowsill, shining on his pale face, whether the moonlight in the next life could still illuminate his way home, he just wanted to find her.
"May I be like the stars and the moon." In the depths of her sleep, Shen Zhiqing heard someone reciting poetry, she suddenly woke up, it was the middle of the night, and there was only the sound of beating the watch outside, and it was the third watch. She wiped her cheeks, and her face was wet, had she just cried? She couldn't remember what she was dreaming of, as if someone was calling her name, and she just felt that her heart was pinched together, and the pain was suffocating. She woke up for a while, and fell asleep in a daze, the light and shadow in her mind were mixed, there were familiar and unfamiliar scenes, and she passed quickly, the young man in white in the depths of the light and shadow waved his hand to her, the figure became lighter and fainter, and when she stepped forward to catch it, the figure was ethereal and integrated into the light and shadow. When she woke up again, it was faintly bright and Qingping was not in the house. She remembered that Bai Xuan would be escorted to the execution ground in the afternoon today, so she picked up the cup on the table and drank a sip of water to calm herself, and she decided to go to the execution ground. As soon as she got up, Qingping entered the house, and Shen Zhiqing had never seen her look so deep. "Don't go, he's gone." Shen Zhiqing supported the table with one hand, her body shook, and she sat down slowly, "Didn't he only carry out the execution in the afternoon?" ”
"Lin Yongqin was worried that someone would rob the law field again, so he executed it overnight."
"When?"
"Three watches." After Shen Zhiqing heard it, her heart trembled, she heard the sound of beating the watch at that time, could it be that this was the sound of his farewell, the crisp voice trampled on her heart, and took away a wisp of soul and went with him.
"Wu Xiang and I buried his body. Buried on the outskirts of the city, next to your father. Qingping hesitated for a moment, "He has a bracelet on his wrist, I thought about it or leave it to him." ”
Shen Zhiqing supported the table with one hand and his forehead with the other. Kiyohei stopped talking, and the room was filled with a dead silence. Since Shen Zhiqing suffered a family change, most of her heart has died, and now her last wisp of soul is gone, and she has nothing to do with love and hate in this world. She wiped her cheeks, and there was not a single tear left, and she couldn't mourn more than die of heart, and this time she had no tears to shed.
"Can you take me to see him?" Kiyohei nodded, and she followed her to the familiar cemetery. She saw that the grave she had built for her father and mother with her own hands had been added to it, and a new grave had been added next to it, and needless to say, she knew who it was. "I'm afraid that Lin Yongqin will know, so I don't dare to write a tombstone, so I can only temporarily set up a wordless block." She knelt in front of the tombstone and helped him turn some paper, and the ashes were blown away by the wind and then circled around the tombstone for a long time. Shen Zhiqing spread out his palm, revealing a red bean, "You didn't expect it, I also kept one." She watched the ashes, like butterflies taking off, flying around her palms and around the grave in the wind. She buried her red beans deep in the soil next to the tombstone, and kowtowed to his tombstone a few times, "I hope I can still find you in the next life, don't go far." I want to wait for you to come home. The swirling ashes finally drifted into the distance with the wind, and Shen Zhiqing stared blankly at the golden apricot leaves of a tree in the distance. I don't know the clouds in the building, as the rain in the world. Qingping remembered a poem, born in a tree, returned to the soil, after all, the rain turned into the spring mud next to the roots of the tree, and the love and hate of the world were not like this.
"Oh no, sir. Miss, she ......" Ru Xin hurriedly broke into Lin Yongqin's study, her voice already trembling. "What's the panic, what kind of emotions is she." Lin Yongqin scolded. "Sir, let's take a look at Miss."
Lin Yongqin felt that Ru Xin's expression was indeed wrong, and hurriedly walked to Lin Sining's boudoir. I saw many servants outside the boudoir, discussing softly with panicked expressions. Lin Yongqin entered the door and saw his daughter lying on the bed, her face like ashes. "When Ru Xin entered the door, she found that the young lady had hanged herself, and a few of us broke in and put her down," one of the family members paused, "but it was still late." Lin Yongqin probed Lin Sining's nose with his fingers, and his face suddenly changed. No, it won't. He shook his head desperately, grabbed Lin Sining's shoulders with both hands, and swayed, "Ning'er, wake up, don't scare Daddy." But no matter how he shook, Lin Sining still didn't have any reaction. Lin Yongqin gave up his efforts and sat on the edge of the bed with his body paralyzed, "Why did Miss commit suicide?" "A maid took a piece of paper," found the young lady's writing on the table. Lin Yongqin saw that it was written at the beginning of the paper, "This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at that time." Daddy, it was my daughter who killed Brother Hanyu, I don't want to be guilty for the rest of my life, I went with him, and I should atone for my sins. He sat on the edge of the bed and cried loudly, "Ning'er, it's my father who is sorry for you." At this time, Mrs. Lin stepped into the door and threw herself on Lin Sining, crying heartbreakingly. At this time, the Lin Mansion covered the door with a white cloth overnight, and the whole mansion was immersed in the grief of the funeral.
"What a good girl, though I haven't met her." Shen Zhiqing learned the bad news of Lin Sining, regretted that he didn't know her earlier, and with her to accompany Bai Xuan, he could no longer be lonely on the road to Huangquan. These days, the bad news continues, she raised her eyes on the windowsill and looked down at the sky, she can no longer let this world ignore human life, she can no longer accept to see a person leave her side, and she is powerless to save it, she must end this damn world, what imperial power, she can't drag them into reincarnation to atone for those lives if she doesn't believe it.
