It was already night, but the lights were still on everywhere in the Overseer's Mansion, because of Cheng Jinyu's funeral, the women in the house were all released, led by Su Fangfei, and the women were all wearing plain clothes and guarding in front of the mourning hall. The second aunt fainted when she heard the news at the beginning, but now her body is getting worse and worse, and at such a moment, she has to lie in bed.

The rest of the aunts and wives were just pretending to gather in the back and whisper. The mourning hall is covered with white satin, and the white lanterns are equipped with electric lights, which are reflected in the mourning hall, which is a deserted white.

The white satin was rustling in the wind, and because of the rain in the morning, the mourning hall was a little cold. The night was deep and the clouds were thick, as if another heavy rain was coming.

Su Fangfei's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she only felt upset when she listened to these women's whispered muttering. But the dead were greater, and at such a time she had to endure it, and when she saw the brazier burning, she added a lot of ingots to it. The tongue of fire swallowed the ingot, and it turned into ashes in an instant.

She wiped the corners of her eyes and asked the maid standing on the side, "Second brother still refuses to come?" ”

A few maids hesitated, but no one answered. Su Fangfei sighed and said softly, "What's the pain." The white lantern at the eaves was blown by the wind, and the wind was swirling, beating the lantern one after another, and the ever-bright lamp on the table was swaying, and it was originally like a bean fire, but it gradually went out, making a rustling sound.

Su Fangfei was about to go to light the fire, when she heard the messenger report that the second son was coming. The women in the room waited with bated breath for a moment, Su Fangfei looked back, the lights in the courtyard were extremely dim, and the hanging white lanterns were swaying gently, and the light that came out was like frost and snow covering the ground, but it shone dimly on people, but it revealed an indescribable sadness.

Su Fangfei couldn't see his face clearly, but listened to him walk forward step by step, as if he was walking very slowly. It wasn't until he got closer that he saw that he had lost a lot of weight, the long robes on his body were loose, but his facial features were getting tougher and tougher, and that momentum was revealed from between his eyebrows.

The light shone on his face, as if frost covered with snow, and there was not even a trace of blood. He stared straight ahead, but didn't say a word. Su Fangfei couldn't help crying when she saw that his eyes were blue and black, "Second brother, I'd rather you didn't believe it." ”

The corners of Su Qingyang's mouth twitched, and finally he just waved his hand weakly. Su Fangfei beckoned the women to walk out one after another. The wind in the courtyard was light, as if it was whimpering in my ears. Looking up, I saw the photo in front of the mourning hall at a glance, Cheng Jinyu smiled, still the same as in his memory.

He remembered this photo, when he married her, and not long after he went to the front to fight, because of the inconvenience of electricity, he left for three months, and when he came back, he learned that she was seriously ill.

When he went to see her, she was asleep, and he sat in front of the bed and watched her, but she did not know what she dreamed, and in the dream she cried lowly, and he called her name again and again, until she woke up and saw him, but she was stunned, and it took a long time before she reacted, and said, "I just dreamed that you were hurt......"

When she said this, Xu felt ominous, and said, "I shouldn't have said this." He couldn't remember what he had said, but he remembered that she snuggled up in his arms and smiled and said that they wanted to take pictures together. He knew that he was the one who led the troops to fight, and he always refused to take a photo with her, but he was afraid that one day he would die on the battlefield, and she looked at his photo and refused to live a good life.

But how could she not know his thoughts? Just refused to give up, and finally pestered him without a way, so he took a few photos with her, at that time the master was invited to the house, he remembered that this photo was taken in the pavilion with the best scenery in the south, she stood there with a curling grace, behind her was the water pavilion, surrounded by greenery.

At that time, he stood opposite and looked at her, only to feel that even though she was all over the place, she was not as good as her.

After a few years of these things, he thought he had forgotten, but in the end he realized that he was deceiving himself. But when I think about it at such a time, I always feel like a different life, as if I have lived alone for a lifetime, and I can no longer taste the taste of this world.

He remembered that when she got the photo, she said, "The next time you go out to war, put a picture of me in your pocket, and I will put a copy of yours, so that no matter how far away we are, we will be together." ”

But in the end, she was gone. At this time, the wind gradually became stronger, and the golden cinnamon in the courtyard was shaking, and the ever-bright lamp on the table was jumping in front of me, and the fire was like a bean, and gradually it was not real. It was the summer season, but the yard was very desolate, and there was a rustling sound in my ears, and it turned out that it was raining at some point.

He stood silently, the sky behind him was dark and oppressive, in such a rainy day, there were no stars and no moon, only the lonely lamp swaying, and the rain curtain was miserable.

After a long time, he stepped forward, slowly lit a stick of incense, and inserted it into the incense burner in front of the spirit. The rain behind him gradually became heavier, and his eyes were full of clouds, and he slowed down a little before he whispered: "At that time, you told me that you were going abroad, and I knew that it was a lie. ”

He is a soldier sharpened in the rain of bullets, and he has always been majestic in front of people. But at such a moment when heaven and man are forever separated, I couldn't help choking, "Jin Yu, I have said a lot of cruel things to you in the past, but those are not true, you also know, don't you?" He muttered as if she were beside her, and needed to speak softly.

But the white lantern at the eaves shook silently, and Siye was lonely, and no one could respond to him anymore. Everything in front of me became blurry, and when I looked at it in a trance, it was like a withered lamp in an ancient temple, which was quiet and cool.

The sky was dark and blue, and it was desolate by the rain, with a slight hint of coldness. He looked at the ashes in the brazier, it was pitch black, but the flames were still rising in clusters, just like his state of mind at the moment, which was originally a blazing fire, but after boiling, it burned to ashes, and when the wind blew, there was nothing left.

He originally thought that she hated him, just as she was determined to go, but that sentence, "In this life, I should be sorry for you." It became a demonic sound, tormenting him as if it were withering and decaying. The sound of the rain on the eaves became louder and louder, and the golden cinnamon in the yard was shaking, and there was a sound of rustling far and near.

The night was silent, two tears slipped down his cheeks, and fell silently on the robe, he clenched his fists tightly, but it was too tight, he still raised his head slightly, closed his eyes and slowed down for a while, before he whispered: "Jin Yu, you are so ruthless." ”

The night breeze swept lightly, and the rain was rustling.

No one could answer him anymore.

He stood quietly in place, and he didn't know how long it took to be like this, when there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, it turned out to be a team of guards walking in, and it was Su Shengbai's adjutant He Chaoming who was the head, he saw Su Qingyang standing there expressionlessly, but he was silent for no reason, and he hesitated for a long time before he said: "Second son, the handsome man is waiting for you." ”

Su Qingyang didn't speak, there was the rustling sound of rain in his ears, and the chill lingered in his heart, and the ever-bright lamp was cold and faint in front of him, flickering bright and dim. He stood silently for a moment, and then turned around as if he was tired, the night was too dark, it was like splashing ink, the heavy rain roared and roared to the ears, more like it smashed on the heart, and there was a loud sound.

The attendant had already held an umbrella for him, and the road was not far, but the rain was heavy and urgent, and it became more and more uncomfortable to catch up with such a day. I stopped all the way to the courtyard of the main house.

Su Shengbai's leg injury had not healed yet, and he was barely on crutches and walked out with the help of the doctor, Su Qingyang couldn't help but kneel on the ground when he saw his father's appearance, and said softly: "Father." ”

Su Shengbai waved his hand, and the doctor quietly withdrew. He looked at Su Qingyang and suddenly sighed, "I know you are sad in your heart, but people can't be resurrected after death, and you have to think more about the living." ”

Su Qingyang lowered his head, but did not speak. Su Shengbai has been recuperating in the hospital these days, but his family has suffered a series of accidents, Su Huiyi took him home, he was originally worried about the current situation in the south, but when he saw Su Qingyang at this moment, he spoke seriously, "Second brother, you are a good hand at leading soldiers to fight, but you are too angry, I said at that time that you don't value affection, and you take power too seriously." Now that you've been through something, you should have seen it. ”

He walked slowly to the sofa and sat down on crutches, and then said, "In the past, your brother's wall was also caused by me, but now that I am old, I always feel that I have done a great deal of sin, and I have lost all the good fortune of my children. ”

Su Qingyang was unconsciously moved when he heard this, so he raised his eyes to look at him, he sighed, and continued: "Now you have also seen the current situation in the south, Yongzhou declared independence, do you think it was instigated by your subordinates?" It's just an excuse to get out of the Su family's control. You look at the picturesque mountains and rivers of thousands of miles, and other people look at it too, so you made a mistake this time. ”

Su Qingyang nodded, and said lightly: "It's my fault that I made a mistake in raising a tiger and harmed the Su family." ”

Su Shengbai pondered for a long time before he said: "I laid down this country on horseback, but it was not all smooth sailing, but it was just that the warlords grabbed each other's territory, and they grabbed it today and were robbed back tomorrow, that's the truth." At this juncture, it's nothing for our Su family to lose their land, but they can't lose people's hearts anymore. I know that you and Lao Qi have a knot, and many things that can't be solved overnight after fighting for so many years, but now it's time for the big right and wrong, you must stand on the same line and work together to overcome the current difficulty. ”

As he spoke, he looked out the window and saw that the rain was pouring down, reflecting the scene at hand. He turned his eyes to look at Su Qingyang, and just said in a deep voice: "Second brother, you remember, when will your brothers be surnamed Su." He adjusted his breathing, "The tragedy of the boss, don't repeat it." ”
