Chapter Fifty-Six: The Living

It is said that the deceased is gone, and the living are like this. Fu Liangbi, Ouyang Xu, and Su Zimei cooperated with Yizhi to deal with Yan Shu's remaining mundane affairs in Yanzhou, retreated from the rented courtyard, moved to Shi Jie's residence, and began to prepare for the departure back to Beijing. After everything was ready, and during the Song and Xia peace periods, except for Shi Jie, everyone was rarely idle.

On this day, Shi Jie returned and saw Fu Liangbi making tea under the corridor, Maitia eating tea, and Han Yuqi accompanying Yizhi to clean up in the house. Yizhi saw Shi Jie through the window, and said angrily: "Look at your house, it's a mess, except for the one-third of an acre around the bookcase, which is neat, there is no place to put your feet, the bedding is full of moisture, the pillow is full of sweat stains, there is ash everywhere, the clothes are all piled up together whether they are worn or not, you can't ask a daughter-in-law and an old mother to take care of it?" ”

Han Yuqi said with a smile: "He didn't invite anywhere, but as soon as the people cleaned up, he made a mess again, and those daughters-in-law and mothers were tired and refused to come." In fact, where is he lacking a daughter-in-law and an old mother, he is clearly lacking a lady who restricts him and takes care of his inner curtains. ”

Yizhi's heart lit up unconsciously, and he said, "It's true! Is there anything you want? ”

Han Yuqi turned his face sideways towards the corridor, and Yizhi crossed Han Yuqi to look outside, only to see Fu Liangbi smiling meaningfully, and then looking at Maitia, who was eating tea and didn't notice it.

Remembering it, he smiled and looked at Shi Jie, only to see that his face was red, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

He hurriedly grabbed the clothes in his hand and said, "You don't care, you don't care." A half-grown girl, nagging like an old mother all day long, I can't see it. As he spoke, he pushed her out of the house.

Yizhi was pushed to the eaves of the porch, and then looked at Fu Liangbi and sat down, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the brothers are a little old, and if they talk about merit, they are extraordinary, but they should all say kiss!" ”

It happened that Han Yuqi was also pushed out of the house by Shi Jie, sat down next to Yizhi, and said to Han Yuqi again: "Especially the second brother, you have made meritorious contributions to disaster relief in the first place, the battle of White Leopard City, and your fame, you are now the daughter of the entire Great Song Kingdom who thinks about it day and night, and the characters who are haunted by dreams, all over the teahouses, and the storytelling sheds are singing about your deeds." ”

Shi Jie cleaned up in the house, making a stack of noises, and when he heard this, he craned his neck and echoed under the eaves: "Hey, it's true! A number of people asked me about him for the girls in the family. ”

The crowd laughed.

Han Yuqi hurriedly frowned and waved his hand, paused for a moment, and then said, "Don't mention it, it makes people panic." ”

Fu Liangbi looked at him for a long time, and smiled at Yizhi: "Don't be embarrassed for him, he also has a will." ”

Yizhi unconsciously looked at Fu Liangbi with bright eyes, and asked quietly: "Since you know, why don't you let me know too?" ”

Furabi pursed his lips and smiled.

Yizhi shouted into the house again: "Fourth brother, the second brother has a girl he likes, do you know about this?" ”

Shi Jie sighed, poked his head out of the window, and asked, "There is such a thing, why don't I know?" ”

Fu Liangbi smiled and said, "What else do you know besides official business?" ”

Shi Jie cross-examined: "Hey, Brother Bi, what you said is unfair, how much better are you than me?" Yuqi is so much better than me! ”

Han Yuqi smiled: "At least our house is cleaner than yours." ”

Everyone laughed.

As he was talking, Ouyang Xu came from the courtyard and said, "Yo, today's people are complete." ”

Yizhi looked up and smiled: "If you arrive, it's really complete, just thinking that you are about to leave, and some people should be reluctant to give up, how dare we bother!" When everyone heard the insinuation, they all laughed for a while.

Ouyang Xu shook his head and smiled: "Yes, you are the most considerate!" ”

Everyone laughed for a while, picked up the tea and ate it.

Shi Jie came out of the house with a stack of books in his hand and said, "The treasures I got some time ago, these are all good books that Brother Bi and Yuqi have never read!" ”

Everyone listened to it and wondered, and they looked at the titles of the books one by one, only to see that they were all the suicide notes of the pre-Qin, and only the only book whose name was not known, they were all interested, and they each picked a book and read it, and the more they read, the more they loved.

The courtyard was quiet and only the pages of books, insects and birds chirping. Maitia looked at this one for a while, and looked at that one for a while, and felt bored, and then went to see the spring light in the courtyard.

After about a meal, the eyes of memory looked at the book, did not squint, and said to Mattia beside him: "Apricot, come and eat sencha." ”

Everyone felt it, and they all raised their heads to look at it.

Suddenly, Yizhi also realized it, and hurriedly said to Mattia: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...... I thought I was home. ”

Everyone was touched, silent, and thoughtful.

Han Yuqi saw that everyone was stunned, and said: "Remember, I heard that the Liu family has been wronged, and I asked to guard Jinming Village, and it will be there in the near future." ”

Yizhi smiled: "Xiuying and I are through letters, there are about two days away, I want to meet them before returning to Beijing." As he spoke, he looked at Fu Liangbi again, and Fu Liangbi nodded knowingly.

Ouyang Xu sighed unconsciously: "Speaking of which, Sister Xiuying is also a strong character. ”

Yi Zhi said wistfully: "The Liu family is loyal to the martyrs, and they are all characters. ”

Everyone sighed for Liu Ping's death, Fu Liangbi looked at Yizhi unconsciously, and said, "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Yizhi stayed for a long time and said: "Wen dies, Wu fights to the death, Uncle Liu fights for the country, and dies for the festival, which is the destination he wants, he is extremely happy in his heart, and he dies as he deserves." Speaking of which, I am also a person who has died twice, my heart is like a tree, I only feel that life is not happy, death is not bitter, what wealth and glory, what success and fame, in the end it is just a pile of white bones in the loess. However, it has not yet been understood, what people should live for a lifetime, and how they should live. ”

Everyone looked at each other unconsciously, but Fu Liangbi thought deeply.

In the evening, Fu Liangbi sent Yizhi back to the room, he stood still under the porch, and called Yizhi again, Yizhi waited for him to speak, but he was silent for a long time, and then said: "When I learned that everything was caused by me......"

Yizhi hurriedly said: "You really don't have to blame yourself......"

Fu Liangbi interrupted Yizhi and said, "You listen to me first. Remembering had to be silent.

Fu Liangbi paused for a moment and said, "I have failed my master's expectations, my reputation has been ruined, I have died in etherealism, and I have not been able to save you......" He sneered: "I really feel that all thoughts are in vain, if it weren't for Master's words, I must find you back, I will see people in life and corpses in death." I can't survive to this day, and I feel like I've already died once. ”

His eyes were dark and full of vicissitudes, he looked at Yizhi, held her arm, and said, "I said that I want to take care of you, not because I pity you and dislike you, or something else. But to atone for myself, I owe it to the Master, I owe it to you, if you are still willing to take care of the old feelings, please do not refuse, I will pay it with my life. The hand that was holding her arm slipped down and took her palm again.

Yizhi looked at Fu Liangbi with full eyes, felt nostalgic for a long time, and said with a smile: "Okay." She thought for a while, retracted her hand, and said, "It's just that everything happens for a reason, and it is also my personal fate, you do owe your father, but you don't owe me anything." ”

Fu Liangbi said: "If you don't want to marry the famous Yuanhao, I will fight to the death." ”

Yizhi frowned unconsciously, and was silent for a long time before he said: "Sometimes you have to have it in your life, and you can't force it all the time in your life, or ...... Let it be. ”

The two stood quietly on the porch for a long time before they dispersed.

Yizhi returned to the house, took off his jacket and hung it on his coat, rolled up his sleeves, washed his face with water, washed his face, took off his coat, and lay down on the couch again, sighed lightly, turned over, turned his back outward, his face inward, and closed his eyes.

Unconsciously, a wave of tiredness hit, hazy about to fall asleep, listening to the sound of water ticking, rats crunching, far away there are women crying compassionately, insects crawling on the back of her hands, she unconsciously opened her eyes slightly, only to see a pair of feet with straw sandals open the fence door, towards the house.

It's Tong'er again!

Yizhi didn't realize that Yuan opened her two eyes, but when she saw that the hall was dark, she realized that it was another nightmare, her heart was still beating wildly, her shoulders were on her back, but she felt cold. She curled up, lay on her side, and stayed for a long time before she called out softly, "Are you there?" ”

The hall was silent, and there was no response for a long time.

She curled up tighter and buried her face in the embroidered cover.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of clothes on the beam, and the sound of her feet falling to the ground, and someone was walking towards her.

She lifted her face up, her eyes blazing awake - her hands groped under the pillow, and she grasped the dagger hidden under it. Suddenly, the man approached, and sure enough, when he saw that it was Yuan Hao, he breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding the dagger was released and pulled out from under the pillow.

Yuan Hao pressed the bed pedal, sat down with his back against the kang, and said, "I'm here every day, don't be afraid." ”

Remembering that there was a sour feeling in her nose, she paused and asked, "How did you do that?" ”

Yuan Hao snorted suspiciously.

Yizhi said: "At that time, you were only nineteen years old, and you had to bear the pain of losing your father, and you had to beware of the Liao State and Tibet, and you would not mourn secretly. How can you bear so much when you have to deal with the division of the clan and hurry up to succeed to the throne, and your mother and wife are bent on listening to the rumors of the people and trying to betray you? ”

Yuan Hao smiled: "So I'm not an ordinary person, I'm the son of Qingtian." ”

Yizhi snorted and laughed.

Yuan Hao then said: "Learn to be indifferent, I learned to be indifferent at that time, everything is weighed with pros and cons, no longer take anyone to heart, quit emotions, and I won't be hurt again." ”

Yizhi didn't feel sad and said, "It's so difficult." ”

Yuan Hao looked at the roof and said, "It's not difficult, you have suffered a lot, and you will naturally learn." ”

The hall was quiet for a long time, and Yuan Hao said: "I remember that Fu Liangbi used to be a very decent person, how did he change? He paused, and then said, "While you are grieving, I want to take advantage of the weakness." ”

He continued: "Today, I will spare him, and next time I dare to touch it, I will directly chop off those thieves' hands." ”

Yizhi laughed out loud and said, "Where is this going, when I return to Beijing, there will be Brother Wen." ”

Yuan Hao was silent for a long time, and said: "Maybe he heard about you, and he won't show up again, you also know that he is a very economic and secular person." ”

Yizhi was stunned: "Maybe." ”

Yuan Hao said again: "Even if he is unwilling to let go, his family can't allow him to come casually." After all, not everyone has the ability to make decisions for themselves. ”

Yizhi sighed with emotion: "Yes......" After a pause, he spatted again: "You are salivating and salivating, and you don't know how to be ashamed." ”

Yuan Hao chuckled lightly, and said: "Rest quickly, you have to deal with them during the day, and you should be very tired if you don't let them see the clues." ”

Remembering the half-day god, he asked, "What about you?" ”

Yuan Hao said: "You have to wake up once a night, if you can fall asleep again, you can sleep peacefully, I will wait for you to sleep peacefully before leaving, you can rest assured, no one will find out." ”

Yizhi closed his eyes for a long time, only to feel that it was difficult to fall asleep again, tossed and turned a few times, got up, hugged his knees, and said, "It would be good if you were just Li Ping." ”

Yuan Hao smiled: "I said, I am the name of Yuan Hao, so I have the opportunity to have you." If I were just Li Ping......"

Yizhi interrupted: "My father once considered recruiting Li Ping as his son-in-law. ”

Yuan Hao was silent for a long time, and said with a smile: "That's just consideration, with Wen Yanbo here, the two of you were in love at that time." Li Ping categorically had no chance. ”

Memories rested his face on his knees.

Yuan Hao saw that she was speechless for a long time, and turned back to look at memories.

The pupils of memory flickered, and he said, "I'm going back to Beijing...... I don't know what awaits me in Kyoto, and I don't have my father's protection...... I'm scared ......."

Yuan Hao thought for a long time, stood up, sat on the bed, looked at Yizhi with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "You said that as long as Xixia doesn't fight the Great Song Dynasty, you are willing to assist me by my side, does it still count?" ”

Yizhi looked at Yuan Hao and said, "Make a number." ”

Yuan Hao stretched out a hand, rubbed Yizhi's cheek, looked at her with hot eyes, and said in a low voice: "This farewell, I don't know how long it will take to meet." He swallowed, and said, "If it weren't for your filial piety, I would be ......."

When Yizhi heard this, his body unconsciously swayed.

Yuan Hao put his arm around her shoulders again, held her in his arms, and said, "I want you, and no one can stop me." Although I admire Fu Liangbi and Han Yuqi, if they dare to stand in my way, let's see how I cut them into pieces. ”

Frightened, Yizhi pushed him and said, "You can't, you can't ......"

Yuan Hao said: "Of course you can't easily, I'm not stupid, if you hate me, everything will be over." He hugged her tightly, sniffed her body fragrance deeply, and said: "That fat monk is now alive in my music workshop, and he is reluctant to return to Qingjian City for a while. ”

Yizhi chuckled and said, "That's good." ”

Yuan Hao frowned, and said, "That fat monk, it's really ...... Real people don't show their faces. ”

Yizhi smiled: "Not really. ”

Yuan Hao said: "I looked at him coldly and was extremely lustful, he didn't take the opportunity to do anything to you, right?" ”

Yizhi opened his mouth, didn't dare to tell the truth, and was silent for a long time before he said against his will: "No." ”

Yuan Hao let go of his hand, looked at Yizhi, his pupils were sharp, and he asked again: "Is it not, or do you not know?" ”

Yizhi had to say: "Maitia has always been by my side, she is a well-known bounty hunter in Bianjing City, forgetting to chant the mage is a thief and has no thief guts, do you say yes." What's more, at that time, I was so sick that I was dying, I don't know how ugly it was, and he couldn't look down on a person like him who was greedy for color. ”

Yuan Hao looked at her for a long time, but he didn't see anything, so he gave up, and said: "I will give you a divine arm bow, and a map, you practice according to the good life, in times of crisis, do not seek to kill the enemy, but can defend yourself." ”

The Eye of Remembrance looked at Yuan Hao and nodded.
