Chapter 397: Flowers and a Full Moon
Huang Yu looked at the shiny brass hookah on the table, and couldn't help but pick it up and walk outside, sitting on the chair of the stone table, quietly closing the door, looking at the pale moon in the corner of the sky, and silently inhaled.
Now, what he is most glad about is not that he can survive in the midst of fighting and killing until now, but that he can find a calm mood like now, which makes him feel more fortunate than anything else.
Maybe from the beginning, he lost to Zhang Liangsheng, and his strength was not as good as him. In the spiritual realm, Zhang Liangsheng saw farther and more thoroughly than him.
The real undertaker should be the one who obtains the power to defy the heavens through long and difficult austerities, not a guy like him who gives up on himself from the beginning.
Compared with himself, Zhang Liangsheng is more like a real funeral master, he doesn't seem to be serious, but in fact, he never relies on his strength to bully any weak, and he never flinchs from the crisis that comes on his own.
Never bullying the weak, never afraid of the powerful darkness. Maybe this is the mind and mentality that a truly strong person should have.
"I'm still far from it, huh." Huang Yu smiled softly and muttered to himself.
And when he was in a daze alone, suddenly a soft footstep came from behind him, and Huang Yu's body instantly stiffened. He knew who it was, but he didn't dare to look back. After a while, a thick coat was gently draped over his shoulders.
"The night is cold, and it's deep, let's go back to the room and sleep early."
Huang Yu stared stiffly at a non-existent spot in the void, and his hand holding the hookah trembled slightly. He knew who this voice belonged to, perhaps about this girl, even the sound of her footsteps, and the body odor on her body, he had already imprinted it deeply in his mind.
“…… Well, I'll be back in a moment. Huang Yu took several deep breaths and pretended to be calm and spoke, but his voice was still a little shaky.
Huang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that Huang Xi should go back in this way, but the sound of departing footsteps did not come. When Huang Yu was tormented in his heart, he suddenly found that Huang Xi walked to his side silently, and sat down gently on the small stone chair.
Huang Yu looked at her in amazement, and found that Huang Xi was also looking at him quietly. A green silk sprinkled down like a waterfall, softly on both sides of the fragrant shoulders, she was wearing a snow-white nightdress, and the skirt slightly blown by the wind covered her calves, the whole person was like a fairy who went down to earth, and there was a breathtaking sense of transparency.
He looked away immediately with a panicked expression, and looked down to see Huang Xi's small hand resting quietly on his lap. Huang Yu coughed awkwardly, and then as if he had thought of something, he looked at the smoke in the air, and immediately threw away the hookah in his hand in a panic.
Huang Xi has always disliked the taste of tobacco since before, and even causes physical discomfort, and after so many years, he almost forgot this.
"I've heard that."
The atmosphere of dead silence surrounded the brother and sister whose relationship was now very ambiguous and awkward, and when Huang Yu's forehead was dripping with some cold sweat, and his pupils were obviously violently shaken due to extreme uneasiness, Huang Xi spoke softly.
Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, then glanced at her, and found that Huang Xi lowered his eyes, playing with his fingers.
"You're going to leave Qingyun Town with the young master, right?"
"Ah...... Well, yes. ”
Huang Yu touched his neck unnaturally and replied embarrassedly.
"Will it be dangerous?" Huang Xi raised his head, glanced at Huang Yu, and then slowly lowered his head again, and subconsciously touched himself
His slender arms.
Huang Yu reacted immediately, took off the coat on his body, turned his eyes away and handed it to Huang Xi, and said nervously: "You, you put it on, I'm not cold at all." ”
"Oh, thank you." Huang Xi took the coat and put it on his body silently.
“…… It's not that dangerous, you don't have to worry. ”
The trip was naturally full of unknown risks, but Huang Yu still lied, but this time, he didn't feel guilty.
"There's something...... I've always wanted to talk to you about it. ”
Huang Xi said softly, and at the same time quietly glanced at Huang Yu, and quickly lowered his head.
Huang Yu was stunned for a moment, and a familiar feeling arose spontaneously, and the slim girl in front of him gradually appeared in his mind, the immature appearance of childhood.
"Brother, let's go to the flower field to pick stars together!"
"Brother, let's go to the back mountain to find the little rabbit together, okay?"
"Brother, you must come back quickly, Xiaoxi is afraid, don't let Xiaoxi be here alone......"
All kinds of warm and long-standing memories gradually became clear with Huang Yu's face as he looked at Huang Xi, but the last memory made Huang Yu's heart tear and painful.
Huang Xi has a habit of showing such a cautious appearance whenever he wants to ask him for something. In fact, as long as it is her request, as long as she can do it herself, Huang Yu will never refuse, but Huang Xi is gentle and kind by nature, and always feels that he is willful.
However, in the memory, Huang Xi asked for the last time, but he failed to respond to her.
Huang Xi's satisfied smile did not appear in his mind, leaving only an aggrieved and scared face. This is the appearance of Huangxi that Huang Yu has dreamed of every nightmare over the years.
When he hurried back with an excited face, it was empty, there was no one, Huangxi's small and thin figure, he almost desperately, ran through the whole town like a madman, rummaged through every corner, but still couldn't find her.
When she needed herself the most, as an older brother, he failed to protect his sister, who regarded him as everything. This feeling of guilt and despair cannot be described in any words.
“…… Are you okay? ”
When a familiar and worried voice came, Huang Yu suddenly woke up from his memories as if he was in a different world, only to find that Huang Xi was looking at him with some concern.
"No, it's okay......"
Huang Yu took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. As for that nightmarish memory that he would never forget, every time he thought about it, he would tremble slightly as he did now. And when he saw the Huangxi in front of him, who had grown into a big girl, his inner emotions were complicated. Both happy and guilty.
"Your face is very bad, is it really okay?"
"Well, that's okay."
Huang Yu said with a little trembling, but this time he didn't dare to look at Huang Xi again. He suddenly became afraid of hearing everything related to that parting from Huangxi's mouth, a seven-foot man, but he couldn't stand this kind of mental trauma.
Huang Xi looked at Huang Yu's pale face and dry lips, and saw that he had been avoiding his gaze very unnaturally, and his heart was also sad.
Maybe it's called telepathy. Huang Xi actually faintly felt that Huang Yu had just recalled something.
"I'm fine, really."
Huang Xi knew that sooner or later, sooner or later, he would have to talk to him about their past, so he plucked up his courage and looked directly at Huang Yu
The eyes spoke.
Huang Yu looked at the stone table in silence and did not answer, but the hand on his lap clenched into a fist.
"If calling you brother will make you feel sad and remind you of memories you don't want to remember, I'd rather never call you brother again in my life."
Huang Xi's words exploded in Huang Yu's mind like thunder on the ground, and he suddenly looked up at Huang Xi in a daze, only to find that there were tears on her face.
"I don't know...... I don't know how to get close to you again, and I don't know how to restore my previous relationship with you...... Perhaps, maybe that's not possible.
But, I don't want to be like a stranger with you all the time. Even if it's starting with a stranger...... Can't, we, get closer again? ”
Huang Xi sobbed helplessly, slowly speaking the words he had been hiding in the depths of his heart, and this was like a sharp and sharp blade, tearing open the festering wounds he had been hiding in the depths again and again.
“…… I'm not qualified for that. ”
Huang Yu wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only say such a weak word hoarsely.
"Everyone misunderstands you...... However, I never explained to them because of me, I have always believed in you...... I've never resent you, why do you ...... Woo, why don't you want to forgive yourself......"
"You ......"
Huang Yu looked at Huang Xi who was wiping tears and crying in a daze, and his heart was also violently shaken.
Huang Xi looked at Huang Yu with tears in his eyes, and finally couldn't help but cry: "Didn't you become like this to avenge me?" Didn't I make you like this? Why do you keep blaming yourself, why do you feel guilty about me! It's obviously me who is wrong! Whining...... Brother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
Huang Yu looked at Huang Xi crying bitterly, his heart was as painful as being torn apart, and a strong sense of guilt tormented him, so that he didn't dare to touch Huang Xi, but in the end, Huang Yu came to her side, plucked up the courage to gently hug her, and the next moment, Huang Xi hugged Huang Yu tightly, nestled in his arms, and cried loudly, as if he wanted to pour out all the grievances over the years, crying loudly.
"You're not wrong...... It's me who is wrong, and if I hadn't been careless, you wouldn't have had that kind of thing...... We will not separate ......"
"Not really! My brother has always tried his best to protect Xiaoxi! Xiao Xi remembers, Xiao Xi remembers it all! Woohoo......"
Huang Yu's nose was also a little sour, and he gritted his teeth and held back his tears so as not to let the tears fall.
And now the brothers and sisters who are immersed in tears and talk about the past have not found it, at this moment the door opened a gap slightly, and behind that, Zhang Liangsheng looked at them helplessly with his chest in his arms, and saw that they had finally reconciled, showing a knowing smile.
In fact, he had already discovered that there was no major problem between the two of them, whether it was Huang Yu or Huang Xi, all he needed was an opportunity. Zhang Liangsheng deliberately told Huang Yu that he would help him reconcile with Huang Xi after he came back, which was to let Huang Yu relax his vigilance.
Zhang Liangsheng knows very well that if this kind of thing is solved in a state of full preparation, it will not be able to completely untie the knot. Now that Huang Yu has repentance, no matter how many wrong things he has done in the past, he should also get a chance to be forgiven.
No matter what happened in the past, at least on the issue of Huang Xi, Huang Yu, as an elder brother, did nothing wrong.
