Chapter 54: Life is loveless, death is helpless
Early winter is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the originally bustling street is now a little deserted.
By noon, there were few pedestrians in the market, and the surroundings were quiet.
At this moment, from an alley outside the gate of the Dustless Inn, there was a sudden sound of light and heavy footsteps. looked closely, and that person turned out to be Liu Ruotian.
It turned out that since he separated from Xu Ziyan in Qingyi Yuanzhong that day, Liu Ruotian has never seen his beloved again. What is even more unacceptable to him is that Xu Ziyan has not heard from him since she entered the palace, and it is really difficult to see her again.
After thinking about it, Liu Ruotian suddenly realized, and then realized that he had been deceived. All of this, constantly superimposed, has led to today's situation.
Liu Ruotian, who was in a trance, knew that there was no hope, so he began to give up on himself, and then decided to get drunk, thinking that he could forget everything with the help of alcohol.
But after some wandering, I couldn't find a good place to go. Just as he was about to give up this idea and go home to continue his decadence, he stumbled into the door of the Dustless Inn.
Liu Ruotian looked up and felt that this place was very wonderful, so he walked in without thinking about it. Immediately after that, he ordered a few expensive dishes, asked for a few jars of spirits, and then began to eat and drink desperately.
But what he didn't expect was that Mei Jiaxing was actually here. And Mei Jiaxing's purpose here is, of course, to see Murong Yuping, but the result has never been satisfactory, and he still got nothing.
And when Mei Jiaxing on the side saw the familiar and unfamiliar lover in front of him again, he was angry.
Mei Jiaxing, who was furious, wanted to rush over and beat Liu Ruotian up, but he was afraid that he would suffer if he didn't get home, so he left this place in a bad mood.
After returning home, Mei Jiaxing became more and more angry the more he thought about it, so he secretly recruited a few sturdy family members to teach Liu Ruotian a lesson. Unexpectedly, before a few people left the house, they were discovered by Mei Yuchen.
Mei Yuchen saw that Mei Jiaxing's behavior was a little abnormal, and he knew that he must have something to hide from him. After careful questioning, Mei Yuchen learned the truth of the matter.
After pressing this matter, Mei Yuchen was still a little nervous, so she ignored the opposition of others and hurried to the Dustless Inn, wanting to see what Liu Ruotian's situation was at the moment.
When Mei Yuchen came to the dustless inn, although Liu Ruotian had not left, he was already drunk.
Seeing this situation, Mei Yuchen's heart was like a knife.
Although Mei Yuchen has always been worried about Liu Ruotian's finding a new love, based on the feelings and companionship of many years of getting along day and night, she still can't be ruthless and ignore it. So Mei Yuchen, with the help of the shopkeeper, temporarily helped Liu Ruotian into a guest room upstairs to take a break.
During this period, Mei Yuchen has been taking care of Liu Ruotian every step of the way. fetching water for him to wash his face and help him cover the quilt can be described as caring.
Gradually, Liu Ruotian's consciousness recovered, and then he began to say something. But because the voice was too quiet, Mei Yuchen didn't hear it very clearly, but vaguely heard a few words like don't leave me.
Seeing this, Mei Yuchen got up and poured a bowl of decanting soup for him.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Liu Ruotian suddenly grabbed her hand and shouted vigorously: "Zi Yan, Zi Yan, don't leave me!" I need you, I can't live without you! ”
Mei Yuchen originally thought that Liu Ruotian was just a ghost for a while, but what she never expected was that until this time, Liu Ruotian still only had Xu Ziyan in his heart.
Seeing this situation, Mei Yuchen's heart was half cold at that time, and she no longer believed in the so-called love and the ungrateful Liu Ruotian.
There is no need to hesitate. Cut off the love thread, leaving resentment in vain.
If you can't have it, it's better not to have it. Since you can't get it, others can't think about it.
After figuring everything out, Mei Yuchen left angrily. When Liu Ruotian woke up from her sleep, she had already disappeared.
After waking up, Liu Ruotian touched the heavy and slightly sore back of his head, looked at the surrounding situation, and seemed to realize something, but he just couldn't remember anything.
A moment later, Liu Ruotian, who was in a mess in his mind, also returned home.
After returning home, Liu Ruotian's heart has been uneasy, and he always feels that something big is about to happen.
Sure enough, a few days later, Liu Ruotian learned a news that shocked him - Mei Yuchen ran away from home.
After the incident, both families were very anxious. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Mei Yuchen was still nowhere to be found, which made Liu Ruotian chaotic for a while, and he didn't know what to do.
On the other hand, Mei Yuchen, who is still young and ignorant, is alone for the first time, and her situation can really be called difficult and extremely dangerous, and I don't know how many difficulties and dangers are waiting for her to overcome.
After a long period of hard work, Mei Yuchen, who had not returned home for several days, finally settled in a small city dozens of miles away from Chang'an City.
Because Mei Yuchen went out alone this time, he was not familiar with the place. Coupled with the fact that the blow she suffered before was too big, she was already a little thin and haggard.
And all of this is accumulating. Finally, one day, she couldn't hold it anymore.
In the early afternoon of that day, the exhausted Meiyu morning staggered to the door of a shop, and then his eyes went black and he fell unconscious.
When Mei Yuchen woke up again, she was surprised to find that she was already lying peacefully on a warm hot kang head.
Just when Mei Yuchen was puzzled by this, an old woman came over with a bowl of steaming noodles, and it was this old woman who saved her.
A few days later, Mei Yuchen's body gradually recovered, and the life of the two became calmer day by day.
Mei Yuchen saw that the old man was helpless and lonely, but there was no one around to take care of him, so Mei Yuchen decided to stay here temporarily to repay her kindness.
Mei Yuchen thought that he could spend a different and peaceful year in a carefree environment, but he didn't expect that on the sixth day of the first lunar month, there would be another accident.
That night, a mysterious uninvited guest sneaked into Mei Yuchen's residence. And told her that if she still wanted revenge, please go to a teahouse not far away tomorrow to talk in detail, where everything she wanted.
Seeing this, Mei Yuchen decided to go and find out.
On that day, Mei Yuchen came to the quiet and elegant little teahouse on time under the guidance of the mysterious person.
Mei Yuchen, who was a little apprehensive in his heart, had just slowly approached the main entrance of this teahouse, when he heard a crisp and pleasant sound of copper bells striking not far away.
Mei Yuchen looked up and was really shocked.
I saw dozens of exquisite copper bells of different sizes and styles hanging under the eaves on both sides of the main entrance of the teahouse in an orderly manner.
As soon as the wind blows, the joy rises and intoxicates.
Near the main entrance, the tea is getting stronger, and the tea fragrance is long, so fragrant. The surrounding scenery is interesting, just right, and fascinating.
At this moment, the main entrance of the teahouse suddenly opened without warning, and then two young men who looked like scholars walked out of it, and then greeted Mei Yuchen respectfully.
After entering the room, Mei Yuchen saw that there was no one around, and the silence was abnormal, and he couldn't help but feel fear.
Just when Mei Yuchen was a little overwhelmed and wanted to leave here, the huge screen in front of him actually opened all of a sudden.
Mei Yuchen looked at it and saw a man who looked like a merchant appeared behind the screen, sitting upright on a golden chair drinking tea, and holding a folding fan in his hand. It seems that this person has been waiting here for a long time.
The person sitting in front of Mei Yuchen was none other than Jiang Xinghe, who had a relationship with him in the dustless inn that day.
Although the two are not very familiar with each other, Mei Yuchen knows that he is a ruthless and despicable villain with bad conduct.
However, in order to achieve his goal smoothly, Mei Yuchen couldn't care about it, and had the right to see if Jiang Xinghe could help him.
I saw Jiang Xinghe come to Mei Yuchen with a smile on his face, and then handed her a portrait of a woman.
As expected, the person in the painting is Xu Ziyan, the culprit who caused Mei Yuchen to lose her beloved, and then caused her to run away from home and live on the streets.
At this moment, the resentment in Mei Yuchen's heart can be said to have reached an extreme.
Although what was in Mei Yuchen's hand at this time was just a portrait, the complex influence of the people in this painting on her was huge.
Through this vividly depicted portrait, Mei Yuchen, who was full of anger and resentment, seemed to see the heart-wrenching picture that she would never forget again.
At this moment, Mei Yuchen's innocent eyes were suddenly filled with an unprecedented boundless anger.
I saw that she had a serious expression and acted fiercely, crumpled the portrait in her hand fiercely, and then threw it at her feet and stepped on it vigorously several times. It wasn't until she felt that the anger in her heart had almost been vented that she gradually stopped.
"Miss Mei, don't hesitate. What did you get in exchange for repeatedly holding back? Is it his love for you? No, it's betrayal, it's deception, it's the joy of others! You can only get your wish if you follow me. And there is no need to suffer and suffer again, I will guarantee you prosperity and wealth for the rest of your life! ”
From this point of view, Jiang Xinghe is afraid that he has premeditated, otherwise he would definitely not be so polite with him.
"Is that true? How can I trust you? Mei Yuchen was still skeptical.
"If I lie to you, the sky will thunder!" Jiang Xinghe is afraid that he has said this kind of thing no less than dozens of times, if it really comes true, he would have died on the street a long time ago.
"I'm conditional." Mei Yuchen suddenly said to Jiang Xinghe.
"What's so hard about that? I depend on you, as long as you ......" Jiang Xinghe stopped talking.
In this way, under the continuous influence of many factors, the seeds of Mei Yuchen's hatred were planted, Jiang Xinghe's terrible conspiracy began, and Liu Ruotian's bumpy road ahead was confused.
Where to go, follow the order. The time has not yet come, and the outcome has not yet been decided.
