Chapter Twenty-Three: David
"It seems to be an ancient style poem...... But there are too many broken places," Li Yiru whispered, "there are a lot of straw and ash stuck here, and I have them all - what's wrong with you?" ”
In the dim light, Li Yiru saw Bai Ling's eyes red.
Bai Ling leaned over, knelt beside Li Yiru's pillow, and gently reached out to remove a handful of reeds on it.
The ruined temple was later painted and repainted, but now the walls have fallen off one after another, revealing the gray bricks inside.
It is a poem carved into the wall with a knife, and it looks like it has the traces of time.
Bai Ling gently stroked the traces on the turn, and tears dripped down one after another.
On the side, Li Yiru sat there in a daze, looking at his companion who was suddenly crying, not knowing what to do.
Bai Ling didn't say anything, just pulled out the dagger behind his waist and re-scratched the blurred spots on the wall.
"Mo snuggles me......" Li Yiru's gaze followed Bai Ling's short knife, "I am used to cold, and I am determined to become an ice ......"
Mo snuggles me, I am used to cold, and I am determined to become ice.
Don't snuggle up to me, don't come near me, I'm on fire, and all trees are burning.
Don't come near me, hug me, I'm warm, I'm cool.
Come and embrace me, support me, I am old, I am like a sick beast.
Please support me, you wait for me, I will pass away......
Bai Ling put down the knife - the last two sentences were the first two sentences that Li Yiru saw.
He is just like me.
He is just like me.
After all this, Bai Ling said nothing, and went back to his bed alone, and lay down.
In the darkness, Li Yiru heard Bai Ling's quiet and restrained sobs.
He looked at Bai Ling's back lying on his side with some puzzlement, and then looked at the clear verses on the wall again, even after Bai Ling completed the poem, he also felt that the text looked a little strange, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
But he could probably guess that it might have been left behind by the two people who had lived here.
I am gone, and he is coming.
He looked at Bai Ling not far away.
Early the next morning.
Mu Cheng woke up in good spirits.
After being away for so long, he had rarely slept so steadily.
Bai Ling and Li Yiru were already awake, the two of them were sitting on their bunks drinking porridge with bowls, Mu Cheng asked them where they got the porridge, Li Yiru pointed to the door - just like last night, you have to spend money separately to drink porridge.
Mu Cheng also went directly to the sister and brother at the door to buy a bowl.
The sky was still bright, and many travelers in the ruined temple had not yet woken up, and the three of them had already checked their respective things, and after bidding farewell to their sisters and brothers in the temple, they embarked on the journey again.
My sister stood at the door and watched the figures of several people leaving, and always felt that the young man who asked Bai Yi with her last night had a disobedient temperament.
"Sister, do you have a crush on which one of them?" The strong man's younger brother came over and also looked in the direction of his sister, "They haven't gone far yet, if my sister likes it, I can go and help you kidnap one now." ”
The elder sister frowned, and struck the younger brother on the head with a handknife, "Go and clean up their bedding!" I'll go to the back to collect my clothes! ”
The strong man rubbed his head and watched his sister go to the backyard.
When he was tidying up the bed, he soon found that Li Yiru had a lot of gray wall skin in the same position where he slept last night.
"Sister! I feel like I need to brush it again! He shouted into the backyard, "The walls are bald again!" ”
"You can do it yourself!" A voice from the backyard said, "I'm busy here, too!" ”
The strong man ran to the stone house behind him, and in a short time he grabbed a brush and a bucket of thick lime water, and in a short time repainted the exposed brick wall.
He moved so fast that he didn't even notice a few more lines of writing on the wall:
Do not follow me, for I may not lead the way;
Do not go ahead of me, for I may not follow;
Please walk by my side and be my friend.
……
In late August, Bai Ling and his entourage finally arrived near Jiangzhou.
They passed through several towns on the way, relying on Li Yiru's amazing financial resources to buy three horses, and Mu Cheng didn't know where to get a new guide, during which the three of them encountered several surprise inspections by officials, all of them were in danger and passed safely.
Now that Jiangzhou is in front of you, there are obviously more pedestrians on the road, and tea shops are beginning to be scattered on the roadside.
A few people dismounted and walked, and finally stopped outside an open-air tea shop somewhere.
Before entering the city, several people already felt the difference between Jiangzhou and Huizhou.
This side looks much more withered than Huizhou, and the caravans encountered on the road look more fierce, and the guys in their hands are also ruthless.
While eating noodles, Li Yiru raised his head and looked at Bai Ling, "How is Song Qing going to give the letter to that person?" ”
"Let's wait until we enter the city," Bai Ling said softly, "I don't know what the situation in Jiang Zhou Chengli is now, so let's go and find out first." ”
"We can't delay too long in Jiangzhou Cheng." Mu Cheng said on the side, "For two days at most, the weather is gradually getting cooler, and the further north you go, the colder it gets, and the more difficult the road becomes." ”
"Two days should be enough." Bai Ling nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Mu, I'll do it as soon as possible." ”
Xiao Er served three bowls of Yangchun noodles at this moment, he listened to the conversation of several people, and his face was a little surprised for a while, "A few guest officers have arrived in Jiangzhou, and they have to go north?" ”
Mu Cheng looked at the face of this little er, "What's wrong?" ”
"Don't you dare to go further north!" Xiao Er made a scary expression, "After crossing the river, it is not a place for people to live!" ”
Bai Ling smiled, "How can it be so exaggerated, haven't the four northern states been guarding well in the past few years?" ”
"The four states in the north belong to the four states in the north, of course it is better to have soldiers in the city, but there are a lot of bandits on the road," Xiao Er lowered his voice, "Not to mention that it can be defended in previous years, but this year it is not certain!" ”
Li Yiru raised his head, "What's wrong this year?" ”
Xiao Er looked at them, smiled a little embarrassed, and rubbed his thumb and forefinger lightly under the tray.
Li Yiru learned to be obedient, this time he took out a few copper plates, threw them on Xiao Er's tray, and said softly, "Little brother will tell us about it?" ”
The little second smiled and accepted the money, then bent down and said softly, "I also heard from other guests passing by about this, saying that General Shen has become worse and worse in the past two years. ”
Mu Cheng sighed, "This kind of rumor has been around since the early years, and it is all slander by gold thieves, and it is not credible. ”
"Oh, the guest officer listened to me," the little second hurriedly said, "The 'early years' you said were seven or eight years ago, right?" At that time, General Shen should be recalled to the capital, and after coming back, it was indeed better, but the situation has been different in the past two years, and I am not just hearing one person say this. ”
Bai Ling frowned, "What the hell happened to General Shen?" ”
