Chapter 103: Empathy
Wen Xun, who originally planned to rush back to Yangzhou the next day, had to stay in Gusu for two more days after making the decision to give up the position of suzerain to Wen Zhe.
And in the two days that he stayed in Yaowangzong, he kept receiving news from Yangzhou.
It's not that something happened in Yangzhou, it's just that when he left Yangzhou, he instructed Fengyang to report Huo Qingxin's situation every one or two hours.
Wanting to hand over the Medicine King Sect to Wen Zhe, Wen Xun had this idea for a long time, and he didn't want to alarm anyone when he came back this time, but since he was discovered by Wen Zhe, it was logical to give way.
Coming to the ancestral hall dedicated to the previous sect masters of the Medicine King Sect, Wen Xun respectfully knelt on the mat and made incense to comfort the heads of the immortals.
"The sect masters of the past dynasties are above, and the disciple Wen Xun came today to tell him something. The disciple has always been uninterested in the position of the head of the Medicine King Sect, and he has no intention of taking care of the affairs of the sect. Deputy Sect Master Wen Zhe has been taking care of the Medicine King Sect with all his heart and soul over the years, and he is actually the most suitable choice for the new sect master. The disciple is incompetent, so I have come to inform the elders and sect masters that if there is a place where he needs a disciple in the Medicine King Sect, the disciple will definitely take the lead. ”
After saying this, Wen Xun knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully three times, which can be regarded as an explanation to the ancestors and ancestors.
After more than ten years, he has finally come to this point, unloading the identity of the head of the Medicine King Sect, and in the future, his world will be centered on Huo Qingxin.
Some people have missed it once, but now this is like experiencing a reincarnation, and he must take advantage of the opportunity again.
He wants to say goodbye to his past and start again.
It's just that what Wen Xun expects in his heart, in Huo Qingxin's place, is the most disdainful now.
A fresh start between them?
How can it be! What is now between them is not anyone or anything, but a person who is ruthless and loveless, even facing death at any time...
Starting over is like the blossoming of an iron tree, even if you wait for thousands of years, you may not be able to see it!
At this time, Yangzhou
Today is the day when Huo Qingxin forced out the medicine king pill three years ago to save Wen Linglong.
Like the previous two years, Huo Qingxin held three sticks of incense in his hand under the peach blossom tree planted where he lived, bowed, and then inserted the incense under the peach blossom tree.
She worships those who knew her well but have all passed away.
Although in the past two years, she would pray silently and sincerely for a day on the day when the Tibetan Sword Villa suffered a catastrophe, and on the day she chose to go to a dead end, it was also a day that she could not forget.
Her own body, she doesn't know, is now living one day, just one more day, earning one day.
No one could predict which day she would suddenly fall down again, and Lord Yama would come and take her away.
Staring at the three incense sticks under the peach blossom tree, Huo Qingxin was in a daze.
These three incense sticks are not only to pay tribute to those who died, but also to herself, to the dead Huo Qingxin, and to Xiao Wuchen, who doesn't know when he will leave again.
At this moment, in the grass pavilion behind her, Feng Yang and Li Yong were staring at each other.
Since Wen Xun left alone a few days ago, they have been staying here day and night, sending the news back to Gusu at any time.
Not only Wen Xun is very nervous about Huo Qingxin now, but also Fengyang.
Now every time he sees Huo Qingxin, he has the illusion that this woman will disappear again at any time.
Maybe he didn't believe that he could find this woman again in this life and see her again, or maybe he still didn't believe it until now, the woman named Xiao Wuchen in front of him was Huo Qingxin.
Either way, it made him always on guard and nervous.
At this time, the person who had been standing quietly under the peach blossom tree for a long time finally moved.
As soon as there was movement on her side, the two people in the grass pavilion also reacted immediately.
At this moment, Huo Qingxin was going to go to the kitchen, took out the fishing rod that Xiao Banping had made yesterday, and prepared to take advantage of today's good weather to go fishing by the small river on the side.
Early this morning, Xiao Banping was called out to see a doctor, and Ji Chen hasn't seen him since yesterday.
Huo Qing thought to herself, she thought that she could be cleaner, but now there are these two wooden people who monitor her every move all day long!
She wasn't interested in what Wen Xun was doing this, but if they did something that bothered her, she would have to move and get out of here.
took out the fishing utensils from the kitchen, and Feng Yang and Li Yong, who had been following, were like serving maids, rushing to carry things and stools, which made Huo Qingxin a little crying and laughing.
When I came to the small river not far away, I chose a stable place to sit down, looking at the flowing lake and the lush greenery on both sides of the lake, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
At this time, Fengyang, who had been watching it for a while, finally couldn't help but speak up.
"If Madame wants to eat fish, her subordinates can go to the market and buy it now."
In the past few days, they have also seen Huo Qingxin's daily life, although the place where he lives is not too simple, but it is also very simple.
Even three meals a day are very simple.
He and Li Yong arranged for a person to go out every day and go to the market to buy some nourishing food and come back, but Huo Qingxin didn't eat much every time, and told them not to waste any more money.
Seeing her fishing today, Fengyang thought she wanted to eat fish.
The person who had already sat down and put the bait in the creek smiled lightly, and automatically ignored what Feng Yang called her, and replied.
"Haven't you heard that fishing can cultivate one's self?"
“。。。。。。”
Feng Yang was silent for a moment, he didn't expect so much, let alone Huo Qingxin to reply to him like this.
He knew that Huo Qingxin had been hit hard several times, and it was not easy to survive, and he could also understand Huo Qingxin's current changes.
Huo Qingxin stared at the bait in the lake with full eyes and said slowly.
"In the past, I lacked patience in everything I did, and my temperament was very impatient. From childhood to adulthood, I am not afraid of heaven and earth in Yangzhou City, even if I cause any trouble, I am not afraid. I always feel that my father is here, and my brother is there, and there is a Tibetan Sword Villa behind me to support me... Alas... ”
Speaking of this, Huo Qing couldn't help sighing, the vicissitudes of life, the past that she couldn't go back to, but now it made her feel like a world away.
"It's really a young man who doesn't know what it's like to be worried, and the things and responsibilities that should have been borne by me have been borne by others. Although I have also walked in front of the ghost gate, I have finally returned. Nowadays, it is a blessing to be able to sit like this, look at the scenery, and fish. I say that, you know? ”
The men standing beside them were all quietly listening to these words.
In addition to Li Yong and Fengyang, there is also Ji Chen, who has just returned.
Ji Chen happened to hear this conversation, and like Feng Yang, he was staring at the thin back at the moment.
After a while, Ji Chen took over and replied.
"I understand what you're saying." He was also able to empathize with what this woman had been through.
Huo Qingxin, who was facing away, did not turn around, and she was not surprised by the person who suddenly interjected.
There was still a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and at this time, the other end of the long rod in his hand shook twice at this time...
Seeing this, Huo Qingxin hurriedly picked up the pole, but the other end of the pole was empty, and the bait on it had been eaten by the fish in the lake.
silently retracted the bamboo pole, put the bait back on, and replied casually.
"You don't understand, and neither will you...
As he spoke, the long line was thrown into the lake again, and he asked.
"Do you know what the four ridiculous words are in the world?"
“。。。。。。。”
“。。。。。。。”
There was silence behind her, and all three of them were waiting for her answer.
The corners of his mouth curved again, and he spat out a few words softly.
"The most ridiculous thing in this world is that I empathize!"
No one has the same experiences, experiences, and encounters.
What she Huo Qingxin has encountered and endured, only she has her own experience, how can others understand.
To put it bluntly, those who understand it are all comforting and sympathetic to her.
Ignoring the few people behind him, Huo Qingxin was already staring intently at his fishing rod.
Ji Chen, who was speechless behind him, left the river alone and walked in the direction of the grass hut.
Because this place was found by Wen Xun, Ji Chen had been depressed for several days, and yesterday he went out to buy drunk and drank a lot of wine.
It's been three years, and to this day, he hasn't told Huo Qingxin his true intentions.
Now that Wen Xun's people are already here, it is conceivable that Wen Xun will inevitably follow Huo Qingxin all the time.
Then between him and Huo Qingxin, is it still possible?
It's just that Huo Qingxin now, without the seven emotions and six desires of ordinary people, will he be emotionally attached to anyone again.
Ji Chen was very conflicted, on the one hand, he only hoped that Huo Qingxin could live unharmed, but in his selfish heart, he hoped that his feelings could be reciprocated.
Faced with his hesitation, he couldn't help but secretly spit on himself when he became such a mother-in-law.
When he came to the small courtyard, he wandered aimlessly back and forth, and then went into the kitchen.
At this moment, on the table in the small kitchen, there was a pheasant that he had just brought back from outside.
He had gone to the surrounding woods to catch them, and he had heard from others on the street that pheasants nourished his body, so he went to catch one himself.
After looking at it, not far from the door, the woman sitting by the river, Ji Chen pursed her lips and decided to make a bowl of chicken soup for Huo Qingxin by herself.
It's just that a big man who has always kept his fingers on the spring water of the sun and spring water, for the first time in his life, has to start with a chicken soup, which is also difficult.
Ji Chen, who had never wrinkled his brows in the face of his fierce opponent, made a difficult mistake against a pheasant for the first time today.
After staring at the pheasant for a long time, in desperation, he had to carry his things to Grandma's house next door.
He is familiar with several farmers in this neighborhood, but he always looks unsmiling on weekdays, which makes these farmers very jealous of him every time they see him.
No, seeing this person coming over with something, Grandma Gu, who was originally drying things in the yard, hurriedly retreated back to the house in fright.
Ji Chen saw from a distance that the old woman hurriedly retreated to the house, and before she was about to close the door, she opened the door that was about to be closed.
Immediately, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a very gloomy smile in the eyes of the old grandmother.
Ji Chen greeted, "Grandma, why are you in a hurry to close the door when you see me!" ”
He had already endured his temperament and greeted the old woman very politely.
