Chapter 17: Déjà vu (2)
What my brother gave me was a jade pendant of excellent quality, the jade was warm and moist, the tentacles were smooth and greasy, and it looked worth a lot of money.
I've seen this jade pendant before.
In the past, the senior brother always wore it on his body, I wanted to take it off and play with it, but he refused to give it to me, because the jade pendant was engraved with the word 'Jing', I once thought that the jade pendant was mine, but somehow it was taken away by the senior brother, but the senior brother said that when he and the master picked me up, I didn't even have a copper plate to buy steamed buns all over my body, how could there be such a valuable jade pendant? Seeing what he said, I can only believe that he is the owner of the jade pendant.
But now, he gave me the jade pendant.
I didn't understand what he was thinking, so I could only follow my brother all the way, and in the middle of the night on the wide street, there were only the two of us, and the moonlight stretched his shadow and fell at my feet.
I looked at his shadow and subconsciously shouted, "Senior brother." ”
The senior brother stopped, but did not turn back, I panicked even more, and asked nervously, "We will always be together, right?" ”
The senior brother didn't answer, which made my heart even more bottomless, and asked again: "You won't leave me, don't want me?" ”
Senior brother turned around, looked at me for a moment, and sighed: "The ghost is not gone, even if I really don't want you, you will be haunted to follow me, right?" In short, in this life, I don't want to get rid of you. ”
I raised a smile and stepped forward to hug his arm: "Senior brother, when we send Rhubarb back to Shimen, let's go back to Xuanji Mountain." ”
The senior brother still said, "As long as you are willing to go with me." ”
Yes, of course I do, I think my brother has been very strange lately, always looking like I would leave him at any time.
Is it because of this that he is not happy? How is it possible, when I was in the master before, he thought I was noisy and annoying all day long, if I really left, the senior brother would definitely be happy.
When I went to bed at night, I couldn't sleep because I had something on my mind, so my brother sat on the edge of the bed with me, and when I saw him, I was barely relieved.
The room at night, although there was a candle in his hand, was still dark, staring at the figure of his senior brother in the candlelight, perhaps because of the light, the momentum around him became much softer at this time.
I shouted in a daze: "Senior brother......"
Senior brother looked at me, and I muttered again: "Actually, in the Taoist temple, I had a dream, a very bad dream. ”
The senior brother asked, "What dream?" ”
Thinking that day in my dream, I was besieged by a group of people, but my brother stood in the middle of them and was indifferent, I was still secretly afraid.
But my brother is in a bad mood today, and if I told him such a thing, wouldn't it make him even more sad?
So he finally shook his head: "It's nothing." ”
"Auntie ......"
The senior brother frowned, a little displeased.
I thought for a moment and asked, "Senior brother, did you ...... before?" Have you ever done anything to be sorry for me? ”
I could clearly feel that the senior brother's body stiffened, and then asked with a strange expression: "Why do you say that?" ”
I shook my head again: "Just ask." ”
Senior brother said: "If you say in the near future, there should be no, and then think about it in the long run, the cracked vase in the master's room was actually broken by me, after it was broken, I was afraid that the master would blame me, so I glued it with paste, but you were careless, and accidentally broke it again, but this can't blame me, it was you who had to bump into it, and ah, that day at the master's gate, we dug out a few bottles of wine from under the peach blossom tree, the two of them were drunk, and when they woke up, they found that the master's ink plum painting was painted by someone, and the master asked who made it, and I didn't speak at the time, But you stood up and pleaded guilty to Master......"
I'm afraid that if he says too much, I can't help but beat him to death on the spot, and immediately intercept his words: "Do you know, because of that cracked vase, Master punished me to copy the "Tongxuan True Sutra" a hundred times, and my hands were about to be scrapped, and that painting, don't tell me that you actually painted the flowers!" ”
The senior brother said without changing his face: "It's obvious that you are stupid, I don't speak anymore, but you have to stand up and take the blame." ”
"You ......"
Seeing that he had no remorse, I gritted my teeth in anger and said indignantly: "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you!" ”
Senior brother smiled, lowered his hand and touched my head, and said: "Have you not forgotten that when you copied the "Tongxuan Sutra", who was with you, it was obviously a hundred times of the scriptures, you only copied ten times and fell asleep, and the rest, but I copied it for you, as well as that painting, the master punished you for not eating, who saved your own food and secretly served it to you, although it was you who took the blame for me, but in the end it was me who really suffered." ”
Actually, all along, my senior brother has bullied me on the surface, but in private, he still protects me very much.
After he made such a fuss, my mood finally improved a little, no matter what, I shouldn't doubt my senior brother.
I asked my brother, "You used to say that there are many people who want to kill me at the bottom of the mountain, if there is a day when someone wants to kill me, what will you do?" ”
The senior brother asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ”
I originally wanted to say that of course it was the truth, and what did I hear about it, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but be a little curious.
So he asked, "What is a lie?" ”
The senior brother replied: "I hate you very much, if there is a day, I will tell them to kill you quickly, so that you will not bother me again." ”
It's a good thing he said it was a lie, otherwise I would have killed him first.
"And what about the truth?"
"The truth is ......"
Senior brother's words reached the key point, but he paused, looked at me, and said angrily: "Think for yourself." ”
What! It's so stingy, even if you say a nice word to me, it won't be good!
I just want to hear him say that he will never leave me, will never leave me, is it that hard?
Seeing that it was getting late, the senior brother got up and went back to the room, walked to the table, but stopped, and he called my name: "Ajing......"
I looked at him, and then saw my brother turn around and replied, "If there really is a day when someone wants to kill you, I will kill that person, no matter who it is, without hesitation." ”
I was touched in my heart and subconsciously asked, "What if...... What if it's many, many people? ”
The senior brother said angrily: "You want to exhaust me to death?" ”
The implication is that it will still protect me?
I showed a sweet smile to my brother: "Senior brother, go and rest, I have to get up early tomorrow and hurry!" ”
After my brother left, I lay on the bed, looking at the jade pendant he gave me, my fingers rubbing the word 'Jing' engraved on the jade pendant, and then corresponding to my own name, I only felt that this jade pendant, in the dark, seemed to have some kind of relationship with me.
After a busy day, I was mentally sleepy, holding the jade pendant, I don't know how long it took, and I fell asleep groggily.
It was a bit noisy in my ears, there seemed to be a lot of people, they were all talking, and I tried to concentrate, trying to see what they were looking like and what they were saying.
But when I saw the bank of the willow embankment, I saw myself wearing the same snow satin clothes as Yi Chulian, walking among a group of people, who looked like cultivators, holding fairy swords in their hands, and wearing clothes very similar to rhubarb.
One of them threatened with a smile: "Xiao Qi is so nonsense, seeing you return to the master's door, how can the master punish you?" ”
I hurriedly defended myself: "How can I be blamed for this? If you want to blame, you can only blame the little marquis of Nanfu who deceived people too much, thinking that I have no one in the Northern Dynasty, my Central Continent Shenzhou, and the Northern Dynasty Shangguo, how can I be ridden on the head by a small appendage of them? ”
Immediately afterwards, another gentle male voice said: "Master once taught us that you and I cultivators should not be competitive, Ah Jing, you always can't calm down, and sooner or later you will break into trouble." ”
"Senior brother, I know it's wrong......"
Although the man's voice was gentle, I seemed to be very afraid of him, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Senior brother, when you return to the mountain, don't tell Master, Master will definitely scold me!" ”
"Heh, Xiao Jing, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, is also afraid of being scolded by the master? Still delusional to collude with us to lie to Master? ”
Another person covered his sleeves and teased: "We learned that you went down the mountain privately without knowing from your master, and came all the way to find it, and we only heard how powerful a young man named Yi Chulian is, if it weren't for Senior Brother Liu remembering the pseudonym you used to use, I wouldn't know that it was you, but those people in Yuntai Pavilion would never have imagined that our little Ajing can actually only paint, and don't know anything about poetry, right?" ”
"Okay, okay, now that Auntie knows it's wrong, you don't blame her anymore."
Walking beside me was a beautiful woman in red clothes, with a red lotus mark on her forehead, and she seemed to have a good relationship with me, and she had always defended me in front of those so-called senior brothers.
The willows are still around, and those people are walking on the embankment, and their brilliant posture is reflected on the water surface like a mirror, elegant and dusty, like immortals.
Among those people, there was a young man in Tsing Yi, carrying a fairy sword, silent, following him silently, but in my dream, I seemed to like him very much, when talking to other people, my heart was ape, I had been watching him intentionally or unintentionally, approaching him, hiding joy in my heart, observing his every move, secretly smashing him with berries picked from the side of the road, the young man raised his head, deliberately straightened his face, and showed me a helpless smile.
I don't remember who they were, but I felt very familiar, we walked together, it was obviously a very happy scene, but my heart was inexplicably very painful, like someone was stabbing with a knife.
When I woke up, I was still lying on the bed, and my brother came back at some point, sitting next to me and looking at me with a concerned face.
I got up in a daze, and subconsciously touched my heart, only to feel that it was blocked and uncomfortable.
Touching his face again, it was full of tears, he was stunned for a long time, and said hoarsely to his senior brother: "Senior brother, I'm so uncomfortable......"
The senior brother asked, "Where is the discomfort?" ”
I was silent, but finally shook my head: "I don't know, but it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable in my heart, it's uncomfortable all over my body, it's like ...... It's as if something important has been lost, forgotten, and never recovered......"
Senior brother finally took me in his arms and gently stroked my head: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't think about it, with my senior brother here, everything will be fine." ”
