ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Nine years.
Cheng Qi even forgot the existence of this scroll, and in retrospect, this scroll really saved himself and Cheng Yan many times, and even the entire Cheng family was in fire and water, but nine years ago, after he gave up the opportunity to travel back for the second time, there was no movement.
Why at this time, it lights up again.
Thinking like this, Cheng Qi's heart couldn't help but get nervous, she glanced back at Cheng Yan, and then took down the scroll, the golden light disappeared in an instant, only the residual heat on the scroll proved its appearance, was silent for a few seconds, and slowly opened.
ββOn the second day of July in the thirty-sixth year of Tianxi, the joys and sorrows are always ruthless.
Sure enough, just like she thought, Cheng Qi exhaled softly, and listened to Cheng Yan behind him: "Let you go back again?" β
"Hmm."
Cheng Qi responded: "Even the poems are exactly the same as the last two times, and the joys and sorrows are always ruthless." After saying that, he closed the scroll with his hand, and the original intention was the same as the last two times, that he did not want to go back, and when the time came, this poem would turn into golden light and do good deeds as before.
The first time, it cured Gu's depression, and the second time, it woke up Shen Lu, who had been in a coma for seven years, but I don't know what will happen this third time.
Cheng Qi put the scroll back, but strangely, the expected golden light did not appear, she was stunned for a moment, and was about to pick it up and take another look, when Cheng Yan behind her suddenly said, "Xiao Qi." β
Cheng Yan's tone has always been calm, of course, except for sexual intercourse, and the rest, even if he is very happy, there will be no fluctuations in his expression, but the little Qi just now, Cheng Yan's voice is actually ...... Shook a little.
Cheng Qi's palm was somehow sore, and it was as sour as electricity for a moment, and when she turned around, Cheng Yan's face was not very good at the moment, and she seemed to understand something, and she stubbornly wanted to take the scroll, and Cheng Yan behind him said, "Don't look at it." β
Cheng Qi frowned, reopened the scroll, and then, his breathing almost stopped breathing at that moment.
ββOn the second day of July in the thirty-sixth year of Tianxi, the joys and sorrows are always ruthless.
The handwriting of the verse did not disappear as expected, it was still there, and there were four words chasing after it.
- Death if you overdue.
At this moment, Cheng Qi was completely stunned, what does this mean, does it mean that he has to travel back? Just like Han Fei at the beginning, she has been a favorite sister for seventy or eighty years, but she met Jiang Yun when she didn't want to go back the most, and after giving up a chance to go back, the second time, there was also this kind of death threat.
It was precisely because of these four words that he would die if he was overdue that Han Fei took the risk and chose to assassinate the prince of Guangping for Jiang Yun before leaving.
Now it's her turn.
How can this be, this is so unfair, don't let you go when you want to go, now everything is stable, she has a family and a lover, but she has to go, this can't be said anyway, Cheng Qi stared at himself, a lot of red blood appeared around his pupils, and said in a low voice: "What...... This handwriting hasn't disappeared yet, I have decided not to leave, disappear quickly, disappear quickly! β
"Don't shout."
Cheng Yan didn't know when he appeared behind her, took the scroll with one hand and closed it, hugged Cheng Qi's waist with the other hand, put his chin on her fragrant and soft shoulder, and whispered: "It's useless, you will die if you overdue." β
Cheng Yan hasn't read it yet, how does he know that the words "death if overdue" are written on it.
Cheng Qi frowned and turned her head, and Cheng Yan seemed to see her doubts, and said with a wry smile: "This is my scroll, I know what is written on it, and I also know what the meaning behind that verse is, Xiao Qi, what I was most worried about really happened." β
Cheng Qi didn't speak, at this time, in front of Providence, all the words seemed unusually pale and naΓ―ve, and if you think about it carefully, if the time for this opportunity to appear is multiplied, it will be three years, six years and nine years, it has been nine years since the last appearance, and it is reasonable to appear again at this moment.
But this time, she had to go back.
After Han Fei's incident appeared, Cheng Qi was also worried that such a thing would happen, but Cheng Yan comforted him and told her that don't think about what didn't happen, and even if it happened, it didn't matter, because there must be a road before the car reached the mountain, and the boat would naturally go straight to the bridge.
But now the car is in front of the mountain, and the boat is in front.
What to do?
The four words of death after the deadline are considered to have denied all the methods, how can people win the sky, do you want to gamble?
"What should I do?"
Cheng Qi said tiredly.
"I'm not going to let you die."
Cheng Yan put down the scroll, hugged her behind her back with both hands, and said affectionately: "I want you to live happily for the rest of your life." β
The meaning behind these words is obvious, Cheng Yan wants her to go.
"You want me to go?"
Cheng Qi thought so, and asked like this, she broke Cheng Yan's hand around her waist, turned around, supported his chest, and said expressionlessly: "You mean, three days later, you want me to travel back to modern times alone?" β
Cheng Yan didn't speak, but Cheng Qi saw that in the depths of the person's pupils, the light that had been lit up all the time, like a star, the light that had existed since the first acquaintance, was now pitch black and disappeared, he didn't speak, but his attitude had been expressed, yes.
"And what do you do?"
Cheng Qi still said this.
"I'll continue to live here, and ...... Another one you. β
This sentence is not long, but it took Cheng Yan a long time to say it unhurriedly, and the other you in his mouth are naturally the original owner of this body before Cheng Qi crossed over, and the most important thing is that it is not sure whether this body can continue to live after he is gone.
After all, the original owner had already hanged.
Will it be the same as Han Fei, the body whose consciousness has returned to the modern era, and this one is completely dead.
In that case, how can you explain to the Cheng family, do you have a sudden hidden illness?
Do you want to break this peace?
"It is said that born in sorrow and died in peace." Cheng Yan said, "It's always smooth, it's not a very good thing, all in all, you travel back to the modern era first, and I'll deal with the rest of the things here." β
"I'm not going to leave you here alone."
Cheng Qi looked at him and said, "Cheng Yan, do you remember what you once said to me." β
Cheng Yan lowered his eyes: "What words?" β
"You said, this life is just a lifetime of birth, old age, sickness and death, just like ordinary people." Cheng Qi said, "And, from the very beginning when you found out that I was a traverser, you said, Cheng Qi, don't think I'm verbose, I'll ask you again, if you can get out of here, will you leave me alone?" Have you forgotten about these by now? It's all you've said. β
Cheng Yan's eyes were dark: "That's because I know that there will be no accidents if you stay." Turning his head to look at Cheng Qi, "But it's different now, if you don't go back, you'll die, I'd rather you go back to modern times, I know you're alive, you're thinking about me, that's enough." β
"But I'm not enough."
Cheng Qi went over, took his hand and said, "My home is here, I don't want to leave." β
"How old are you, almost fifty years old." Cheng Yan smiled bitterly and quipped, "Why are you still so naΓ―ve, many things, it's not whether you want to or not, but whether you can or not, and now it's the latter, you can't continue to stay here, I don't want to lose both." β
"Listen to me."
Cheng Yan stretched out his hand and stroked Cheng Qi's hair, and said, "Spend these three days with me well, and you don't care about the rest." β
"Cheng Yan."
Cheng Qi finally cried, she hugged Cheng Yan's body, the man stroked her emaciated back, and also tilted his face in pain, closed his sour eyes, but he didn't expect that nineteen years had passed, and the most terrible and unwanted thing was still coming.
"Xiaoqi." He said.
Cheng Qi responded.
"Do you remember the day you and I got married in the cave room, I told you?" Cheng Yan said, "I traveled three days earlier than you, but I have spent more than 170 years here, I am thinking, maybe the time here is different from the modern time. β
Cheng Qi was stunned, looked up and said, "What do you mean?" β
"It's not interesting."
Cheng Yan looked at her and said seriously: "I will not give up the opportunity to travel back, I will try my best to go back and return to you, you can rest assured." β
Cheng Qi nodded, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "Cheng Yan, I think that my identity has to be told to someone." β
Cheng Yan guessed who it was, nodded and said, "Okay." β
β¦
β¦
In the early morning of the next day, the warm sun was shining, and the sky was clear, only white clouds dotted it.
"Old lady, Miss Qi is here."
Zhou's mother's girl came into the hall, and the old lady said with Cheng, I don't know what's going on, this old lady is eighty years old, but she seems to be younger than when she first met, and even her temples still have shiny black hair.
At this moment, she was picking wild vegetables with Granny Pang there, and the two laughed happily, and when they heard this, Mrs. Cheng smiled and said, "Let the desert come in." β
Cheng Qi walked in, saw this scene, smiled with relief, and then said to Granny Pang: "Mother-in-law, I have something to tell my grandmother, please ...... first."
"Good, good."
Granny Pang got off the stool neatly and said with a smile: "The girl has something to say, my wife just retreats." Walked up to Cheng Qi's side, "Do you still want to eat sliced elbows for lunch today?" Otherwise, make some greasy radish soup, which is also a girl's favorite drink. β
Cheng Qi nodded: "Of course it's good." β
Looking at Granny Pang at such a close distance, I really sighed that this old lady's spirit was good enough.
"Then I'll go to the back kitchen first, old woman."
Granny Pang went out, and when the bottle saw this, she went to the back kitchen to help, and called out the rest of the servants in the hall, leaving the pair of grandchildren alone.
"Desert."
Mrs. Cheng didn't know what truth she was about to face, she was still fiddling with the wild vegetables in the dustpan, and she could smell a slightly bitter fragrance from afar, Cheng Qi sat next to her, looked at it, and said, "Grandmother, don't do this, you and Granny Pang are not young anymore." β
"It's just over eighty years old, and it's not old enough to turn into the ground, hypocritical."
Mrs. Cheng said with a smile: "Today, your mother and Aunt Meng went to visit Pumiao, and your two sisters-in-law also went, why didn't you go." β
"I don't like to join in the fun."
Cheng Qi smiled lightly and said: "Besides, I have to live in that area for two days, and I will feed the mosquitoes." β
Mrs. Cheng said: "That's right, you have oral today, Pang Pozi said, this wild vegetable porridge can best clear the heat and relieve the heat in the summer, but it has to be dried for two more days, although it is actually nothing to eat now, but after all, it is too bitter." β
"I see."
Cheng Qi said, her voice fell a little lonely, and Mrs. Cheng sensitively noticed it, turned her head to look at her, and asked, "What's wrong?" But what's on your mind? Said funnyly, "If you have something, tell your grandmother, you are seventy or eighty, and you are also a half-old child in front of me." β
"I'm afraid that if I say it, it will scare my grandmother."
Cheng Qi cautiously weighed the state of Mrs. Cheng, and couldn't help worrying in her heart, it doesn't matter if she crosses, but if this amount of information is too large, let Mrs. Cheng know that her granddaughter who has been hurt for so many years is actually an outsider, will it ...... It's all at once, and that's putting the cart before the horse.
But if you travel back, the current body will die completely, it can only be like this, only Mrs. Cheng can solve this matter, and the old lady has experienced so many winds and waves when she was young, Cheng Qi is still quite confident in her.
"I have lived this life, witnessed the change of two dynasties, and countless mutinies." Mrs. Cheng really said, "If there is anything else that will scare me, you can say it." A gleam flashed in his eyes, "Aren't you happy?" β
The old lady's imagination is quite rich, Cheng Qi smiled helplessly, then took a deep breath and said, "Grandmother, I'm leaving." β
Mrs. Cheng squinted at her and said, "Let you follow your mother and them in the morning, now it's okay, make a carriage and go to Pumiao by yourself." β
"It's not going to Pumiao."
Cheng Qi couldn't cry or laugh, and then changed his words: "Grandmother, I'm leaving here, and once I leave this time, I may never come back." β
"You're leaving the Chang Dynasty?"
"No, it's leaving...... this world. β
Hearing this, Mrs. Cheng's action of fiddling with the wild vegetables slowly stopped, but she didn't turn her head to look at her, but said, "You continue to say what's going on." β
"Grandmother...... No, old lady. β
Cheng Qi didn't know why, after changing his name, his heart suddenly throbbed, and he called his grandmother for nineteen years, but he didn't have the slightest blood relationship, and he was silent for a few seconds before he said: "I'm not from this world, I'm from a thousand years later." β
After that, he looked up and glanced at Mrs. Cheng, who was expressionless.
"Your original granddaughter, she was already dead when she was twelve years old, I crossed over from a thousand years later, occupied her body, so there were so many ugly things at that time, and then, I found that I had no way to go back, so I had to continue to live here, I originally wanted to hide it like this for the rest of my life, who knows, the will of heaven is unpredictable, three days later, I will go back to the place where I used to live, and this body, if you can't guarantee that your granddaughter is still alive, Cheng Qi of the Cheng family of Dachang Dynasty, I'm going to die completely, I'm sorry......" Cheng Qi said, his voice choked uncontrollably, "It's me who is not good, I have deceived you for so many years, making you think that I am your own granddaughter, and I have wasted your love for so many years." β
She couldn't say any more, reached out to cover her cheek, tears rushing from her fingers.
"It's not in vain."
Suddenly, Mrs. Cheng spoke.
Cheng Qi raised his head when he heard this, and looked at the person in a daze, while Mrs. Cheng asked, "Who said that only those who are related by blood are considered relatives." Turning his head to look at Cheng Qi, "For so many years, thanks to you, the Cheng family is not my own granddaughter, and I am willing to treat you with my own granddaughter." Taking a deep breath, the old lady's tolerance and opinion on this matter exceeded all Cheng Qi's expectations.
Mrs. Cheng is really open-minded and transparent, worthy of being the famous county lord of Hengyang back then, listening to her again: "I said, how can you change sex when you hang it, it turns out that she is a different person, she can't survive in this jackal land, if you change it, it is enough for you to lead the Cheng family to the current status." β
ββ¦β¦ Old lady. β
Cheng Qi said blankly.
"If you haven't left for a day, it's our Cheng family for a day."
Old Madam Cheng said calmly, at this moment, her face did not have too much expression, but her attitude was calm and full of wisdom.
Cheng Qi burst into tears and smiled, a big stone in his heart was completely put down, and the burden of nineteen years was unloaded, only to feel relaxed, wiped his tears, and called out again: "Grandmother, thank you." β
ββ¦β¦ Your original world ......"
Old Madam Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Okay?" β
Mrs. Cheng asked, listening to that tone, she wanted her to stay in disguise, Cheng Qi knew, her heart warmed, but she smiled lightly: "It's good, it's better than here, but what I want to do is more dangerous than here, but I'm very happy and feel very honored." β
"That's good." Mrs. Cheng said, "I just want you, including these children, to make a choice that you won't regret." He fiddled with the wild vegetables again, "That's it, then this wild vegetable porridge will be eaten tomorrow, it's too late, and I won't have to eat it." β
Cheng Qi listened, his heart was sour, and he lowered his head.
In the quiet and cool hall, there was the sound of Mrs. Cheng fiddling with the wild vegetables, rustling, rustling......
β¦
β¦
I thought that in the past three days, Cheng Yan and Cheng Qi would have a bitter and bitter life, life and death, but in fact, these three days, as usual, boring, sultry afternoon, Cheng Qi soaked his feet by the pond in the backyard, and the young seedlings next to him were so sleepy that he yawned.
"Girl, let's go back to nap."
She said vaguely.
Cheng Qi looked amused and said, "Since that's the case, you can go back to sleep first." β
Qingmiao didn't want to be polite, so he hurriedly trotted all the way back to rest, and when he met Cheng Yan who came over, he saluted and hurriedly ran away.
Cheng Yan walked over, sat beside her, looked at the feet soaked in the clear pool water, and said lightly: "So energetic, you have been wandering around the yard for more than ten years in the past two days, and you still visited the Grand View Garden on this day, do you think you are Grandma Liu?" β
"Grandma Liu is the first time, but this is my last time."
Cheng Qi said flatly: "A mansion like our Cheng Mansion, in modern times, let alone a relic, even if it is built manually, it is difficult to restore, not to mention that we don't need to buy tickets or anything." Glancing and raising his eyebrows, "I tell you, I have discovered several new landscapes in the past few days, but I didn't expect that the emperor promised to repair the mansion for our family, but he really made a bloody investment, and he was slightly unfamiliar, I am afraid that I will have to get lost here, and I will starve to death." β
Hearing Cheng Qi say this, Cheng Yan smiled dumbly, patted her knee, Cheng Qi took his feet out of the pool of water, Cheng Yan took it, gently put it on the hem of his clothes, and carefully rubbed it for her, at this time, I don't care about any cleanliness or not.
"It's not dirty."
Cheng Qi teased.
"Dirty."
Cheng Yan also said bluntly: "But if you don't wipe it this time, I don't know if you can wipe it for you in the Year of the Monkey." β
This is really the person who will spoil the atmosphere and cut off the topic, as soon as these words came out, Cheng Qi didn't feel any emotion, and he was a little depressed in an instant, today is the third day, and the opportunity to travel back may appear around him at any time, such as last time, the moon gate glows......
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.
Before Cheng Qi finished slandering, a large piece of golden light appeared at the moon gate of the garden, as it was twelve years ago, and at the same time, the wind in the garden was strong, and countless leaves were blowing on her body, she squinted slightly, and her voice was deep: "So fast." β
Cheng Yan helped her up, Cheng Qi simply didn't wear shoes, and slowly walked over to the moon gate, as long as she took one more step, she could go back to modern times, and she could say goodbye to this unforgettable experience, in a trance, she could feel the initial call, as if she didn't resist a little, she would be sucked back.
"Cheng Yan."
Cheng Qi wanted to turn around and look at him again, but he thought, since this opportunity appeared abruptly and hastily, then this farewell didn't have to be too grand, it was best to just go with the flow, not to mention, turning back, he would see the tears on his face.
"I'm here."
The man behind him also said calmly: "Don't turn back, go back now." β
"Okay."
Cheng Qi said, his lips trembled twice: "I'll go back first, you must come to me." β
"I know, I'll go find you."
After hearing this, Cheng Qi closed his eyes fiercely: "I'll wait for you!" β
After speaking, she simply rushed towards the golden light with a quick knife, and then, her consciousness was scattered, and she didn't know anything.
Everything is calm.
It all came too quickly and suddenly, and the end was very sloppy, which was staggering, but I felt that it was the best ending.
A few meters away, Cheng Yan only watched Cheng Qi rush towards the golden light, and then, the golden light disappeared in an instant, the moon gate returned to its original state, and the person's body fell outside the moon gate, Cheng Yan hurriedly went over and hugged her in his arms, probed his nose, and was still alive, his heart was empty, but he immediately smiled bitterly and disappointed.
The person in his arms opened his eyes.
It's confusion and confusion.
is still the pair of peach blossom eyes, but the peach blossoms in them are not the most romantic petals nineteen years ago.
"You're awake."
Cheng Yan said.
The person in her arms frowned slightly, but she didn't understand anything, she subconsciously touched her neck, and then said, "Where is this?" β
