Chapter 55

Knowing that Taifu died tragically, I think Chu Muxiu must be very sad, when I went to Yiwang Mansion to look for him, Qian Che said that His Royal Highness had endured it in the mansion for three days, and he disappeared early this morning, and he was in a hurry to find him.

I was worried about what would happen to him, holding an umbrella all over the street to find him, I found East Street from West Street, ran up the stone bridge and ran down the stone bridge, from Uncle Zhang's pastry shop to the Jade Girl Fang, the whole Huancheng was searched by me but I couldn't find him, and then I actually found him in the wooden pavilion of Beipo Ridge.

It was still raining, so he squatted alone in the pavilion, soaking wet, and quietly buried his head in his arms. It looks really uncomfortable, and this is probably his most vulnerable appearance.

I walked over and saw that he was trembling slightly, and the water was dripping down from him. I had never seen him like this, and suddenly I felt a sour feeling in my heart, and I felt uncomfortable, and all of a sudden tears were about to fall.

I moved the umbrella over him and slowly crouched down, "Are you alright......?"

He looked up slowly, his face was pale and his eyes were red and his eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like he hadn't rested for a few days. His face was so wet that I couldn't even tell if it was rain or tears.

"Can you hug me, I feel cold." His distracted and helpless eyes may not be forgotten for the rest of my life.

I was very distressed, I suddenly hugged him tightly with both hands, his body was cold and cold, and he was trembling vigorously, I could clearly hear him sobbing quietly, I patted him on the back and told him not to be afraid, I would always be with him, but the more I said this, the more sad he seemed to become, and the stronger the sobbing became.

"It was I who killed my uncle, if I hadn't rushed back early, my uncle wouldn't have been hacked, why didn't all the people who were good to me end well, it's my fault, it's my fault......"

"I can't blame you, it's not your fault, it's fate, none of us can escape, if you feel uncomfortable, cry, cry better." I don't know when I started to like to learn Aunt Song's tone to speak, I didn't understand the meaning of these words before, but now I gradually find that the truth in it is really enlightening.

"Ah Candle, I only have you left."

When he said this, my heart ached, and he said that he was the only one left, and I was the only one left. Although I don't want to face it, one day Daddy and Aunt Song will be one step ahead of me, and Mo'er will always get married, and I will only be left alone at that time.

I didn't speak, I just patted him on the back with my hand, and I really didn't know how to answer him......

Later, when the rain stopped, Qian Che drove the carriage to find here, and we took Chu Muxiu back. Chu Muxiu was drenched in the rain for a whole day and had a high fever, Lang Zhong said that he was infected with a heavy wind and cold, and his body was very weak, and he was prescribed a few pairs of cold medicine. I put several layers of quilts on him, and he said it was cold, but then I made a fire in the house, and the whole room warmed up, and he gradually fell asleep.

But he didn't sleep well, his brows were always wrinkled, his head was always moving, his forehead was full of cold sweat, his mouth was always talking in a daze, sometimes he called his uncle and sometimes he called his mother, and even begged for mercy, begging the queen mother to let go of his mother and let himself go......

I shook his hand, his hands were full of sweat, I wanted to let go and wipe my hands, he grabbed it tighter, "Mother don't leave me, don't leave me......"

I sat down again, "Okay, I'll be with you all the time." ”

He seemed to hear what I said, and as his face gradually recovered, he fell asleep again, clutching my hand even when he was asleep. I was guarding him by the bedside, he was even begging for mercy in his sleep and dreams, I think he must have had a bad life in the past ten years, he has to face life and death at a young age, and he has to endure so many conspiracies and calculations, how can he be happy. He used to say that if you don't touch it, you won't be sad, and if you don't love, you won't get hurt. At the time I only thought he was cowardly, but now I suddenly understand him. I don't want him to be so tired, I want him to let go of the guilt in his heart, I want to use my feelings to influence him, let him be a happy person like me.

It rained heavily again at night, I didn't know when I fell asleep next to the bed, Chu Muxiu had a nightmare and was suddenly awakened, and he was relieved the moment he turned his head to see me.

As soon as he touched my head, I woke up.

"Did I wake you up?"

I shook my head and said no.

I got up and touched his forehead: "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”

He was sweating a lot and looked a little more energetic, "Much better!" ”

"That's good, you go back to sleep, I'll sleep too!" I was so tired that I threw myself on the side of his bed.

"I can sleep two people in this bed."

"Oh, it's huge." With my eyes closed, I kicked my shoes and climbed into bed, pulled the quilt and covered it.

Chu Muxiu was very surprised, got up and lowered his head and asked me, "You are a girl sleeping in the same bed with a big man, are you not afraid of what I will do to you?" ”

He was naturally not sleepy after sleeping, but I was too tired to open my mouth and answer him, "You are like this, what else can you do to me, go to sleep quickly." ”

Eventually, he stopped talking and slowly fell asleep. We didn't speak, and when I was about to fall asleep, he suddenly hugged me from behind, "We'll never be separated again." ”

I couldn't sleep when he said this, so I turned around and got into his arms, "Then don't let me find you again in the future, I'm worried." ”

"Okay." He kissed me lightly on the forehead, and then hugged me as tightly as I hugged him today, so close I could clearly hear his breathing a little rapid, the smell of sandalwood on his body was very good, and there was an indescribable peace of mind lying in his arms. I slept very deeply and didn't wake up until dawn.

He was still asleep when I woke up, and perhaps only in his deep sleep could he be so peaceful. I looked at him for a long time, his eyebrows were dark and thick, I tapped his nose with my hand, and he frowned uneasily.

I looked at him a little closer, his eyelashes were long and dense, and I held out my fingers and began to count, "One, two, three......"

Halfway through my count, he suddenly woke up and looked at me blankly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Help you count your eyelashes, Aunt Song said that the denser this man's eyelashes, the longer he lives......"

"Superstition."

"Hey, you come over a little, it's too far away for me to see!"

Chu Muxiu moved in, and I simply opened my feet and lay on him, "I'll finish counting a few more, you wait." ”

He covered the quilt for me, and then closed his eyes, "You count slowly, I'll sleep again."

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen......"

"Your Highness, ...... today"

Qian Che carried a knife, and broke in, and saw me lying on Chu Muxiu's body, with a quilt behind him, I looked up at him, and his face turned red all of a sudden, and I quickly rolled down to the other side, "Hey, hey, you're thinking too much, I'll count his eyelashes, I'll help you count your eyelashes later!" ”

"That's not necessary, that's not necessary, I'm sorry to disturb ......," he staggered away after saying that.

I put my head in the quilt: "It's over, it's over, I have no face, and Daddy has no face." ”

He sat up and stretched, then touched my head through the quilt, "Qian Che won't say it." ”

Sure enough, Qian Che didn't say it, but he liked to use it to make fun of me when he had nothing to do, he said that I was worthy of being born in a famous family, but I was different from ordinary girls, and I was really bold and courageous......

I didn't speak, I just glanced at him a few times with my eyes and warned him not to say any more. He was the second girl to say that I was a bold girl, but since that incident, I have never felt that courage is a good thing to put on display.

Master Taifu's future affairs are not in a big way, but they are in a hurry and simple. Taifu was given death by His Majesty, and it is a great fortune to be able to keep the whole body and be buried with peace of mind. Chu Muxiu naturally understands these truths, and he wants to leave quietly rather than the scenery of the grand master.

On the night of Taifu's burial, Chu Muxiu and I walked on the street. There was a lot of noise outside, and I thought he would be very sad, but he was surprisingly calm. Looking at the way he held back his laughter, it was better to cry a lot.

I didn't speak the whole way, and he took my hand and said, "Let's go buy candy man." ”

I nodded yes.

He handed me the candy man, and then he took another sugar man in his hand.

He smiled and asked me, "Is it sweet?" ”

I only licked one bite, and I really couldn't eat it anymore, "It's all sweet on weekdays." ”

"And do you mean it's not sweet tonight?" He anxiously took the candy man in my hand and licked it, "No, it's sweet!" ”

I didn't take the candy man: "If you feel bad, cry!" ”

He slowly lowered his hand: "I'm not uncomfortable. ”

I took his hand: "If you're embarrassed, let's go to a place where there are only the two of us, you can cry as much as you want!" ”

He lowered his head and stuffed the sugar man into my hand: "The man has tears and doesn't flick, I'm really fine, don't worry." ”

On the way home, I kept sneaking a peek at him, and as soon as he turned his head, I immediately avoided him.

He seemed to catch my gaze, "What are you looking at?" ”

I looked down and kicked the stones on the road, "Let's see if you're secretly wiping away tears." ”

He sneered: "I'm not a crying girl, although my uncle is gone, if I continue to be decadent, how can I be worthy of his dying entrustment, his cultivation for so many years." ”

I listened to what he said, my heart was very heavy, I always felt that he would leave me one day, I was really a little scared, and suddenly stopped and grabbed his hand urgently: "Chu Muxiu, I say seriously, if revenge is so tiring and difficult, why don't you take revenge, and live a good life in peace, okay?" ”

"Ah Candle, you must know, it's not me who wants revenge now, it's Your Majesty and the Queen Mother who hold me up, they regard me as a thorn in the flesh, and they don't want my life all the time, if I don't fight back in time, this time it's my uncle, next time it's me!"

In the past, I thought that everything in this world is beautiful, as long as we work hard, as long as we are sincere, nothing can be done. But I never thought that there would be such a helpless thing in this world, and I never thought that it would be so difficult for a person to live.

Maybe this is life, maybe I really have experienced too little, so little that I don't know how to behave in the world, and I can't see through the ever-changing human feelings......

"Then you promise me that when everything is over, you must live!" When I said this, I was resentful, crying and astringent.

He nodded and smiled: "I will definitely come back alive to marry you!" ”
