Chapter 362: Jade Screen (26)
Seeing Yun Sheng put his hand on her face, Hui Niang subconsciously closed her eyes, but she only heard Yun Sheng's mocking sneer. When he opened his eyes, he still had the same face as Yun Sheng in his pupils.
Hui Niang breathed a sigh of relief. She may not be afraid of death, but not being afraid of death does not mean that she will not be afraid.
Xing Ruyi also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little lost in her heart, she thought she would see a broken face as terrifying as that body, but after some nervousness, nothing happened.
"That person, isn't it Yunsheng?"
Xing Ruyi bumped the fox on the shoulder and asked in a low voice. The fox was silent, just motioned for Xing Ruyi to continue watching.
After that sneer, Yun Sheng quickly approached Hui Niang, "What? I'm scared! Don't you want to see my face? If you want to see, why close your eyes. What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of seeing a terrifying grimace, or are you afraid that when I remove this face, the face underneath will still be exactly the same as your Yunsheng? ”
Hui Niang choked her breath, not knowing how to answer.
Yun Sheng stared at those eyes for a while, and suddenly took a few steps back angrily, looked at the ghost screen in front of him and said, "After the apricot blossom rain that year, you and I met for the first time. Your eyes are also like this today, panicked, and people can't help but feel pity when they look at it. It's a pity that although I know you, you only know this skin. ”
Hui Niang raised her head violently and looked at Yun Sheng's back, "What nonsense are you talking about?" After the apricot blossom rain, the person I met was clearly my father-in-law, and you just pretended to be his identity and his face. ”
"You're right, I pretended to be his identity, but he took you away from me with this face." Yun Sheng looked back, his face was full of resentment: "You say I'm a monster?" But do you know who turned me into a monster! It's Yunsheng, the so-called Xianggong in your mouth. Then do you know who I am? My name is Yun Sheng, but I have an extra bamboo prefix than his name, and I am his twin brother. ”
Hui Niang was shocked, shook her head and took two steps back, "No! Xianggong has no younger brother. The in-laws never mentioned that they had another son. ”
"Of course they won't talk about me, because in their hearts, I'm also a youkai!" Yun Sheng's face was full of loneliness: "Even if it is a name, I can only have one that is similar to him." In that home, I was both a taboo and a shadow. ”
Yun Sheng glanced at Hui Niang deeply, the resentment in his eyes was still there, but there was more mockery and some desolation.
"It's the same father's son, and the same October was conceived and born, and because I was born later, I was considered a monster. Therefore, I could only be secretly hidden, abandoned, and even thrown into a cave as bait to lure snakes in a famine year. But even then, I never complained about anything. I know that it wasn't my father and mother who hurt me, but the world, the ignorant legend about the twins. I live carefully, I want to prove to the world that twins are not a terrible thing, and even if they are born exactly the same, we will not bring any misfortune and disaster to this world. However, I never imagined that I would meet you. ”
"Me?"
Hui Niang's heart became more and more uneasy. She originally thought that after remembering everything, all the truth would be revealed, and all she had to do was to expose the true face of the person in front of her, and then take revenge. But now, it seemed that everything had changed, and she didn't know what the person in front of her was talking about, and whether he was talking about another truth.
"Remember this?"
Yun Sheng reached into his cuffs and pulled out a delicate little thing. It was a small jade screen, very finely carved.
"How can this jade screen be in your hand? Xianggong said that he lost it! ”
"This is a token of love between you and me, how can I throw it away at will. As for Yun Sheng, of course he didn't, because from beginning to end, the person who met you, the person who wanted to marry you home, was never him. He had never seen this jade screen, and he didn't know where it came from. So, when you ask, his expression must be weird, right? ”
Hui Niang looked at each other in a panic, her right hand tightly grasping the curtain next to the bed, and her left hand didn't know where to put it.
Yes, she remembers. On the wedding night, the red hijab was removed, and she was so shy that she didn't know where to look with those eyes, so she looked casually in the room. Now, she realized that she was looking for a jade screen at that time. Unfortunately, she searched around and couldn't find it. Later, she asked Xianggong once seemingly unintentionally, Xianggong was stunned for a moment, but soon said to her apologetically that the jade screen was lost. She wanted to ask a few more words, but looking at Xianggong's appearance, she didn't seem to want to talk deeply, so she hid this matter in her heart. But now, this jade screen actually appeared in "his" hands, and Hui Niang's heart was suddenly confused.
That year, she was only fourteen, because she couldn't stand her father's beating and scolding, she was beaten twice, and even her mother was beaten. She hated her father and her mother, and she escaped from her home with scars all over her body, despite the drizzle outside. Because he was sad, he just ran in the rain with his head down, and then he bumped into Yunsheng.
Yun Sheng held an umbrella, wearing a cyan dress, his eyebrows and eyes were lowered, but the moment he was hit by her, they all raised up. Four-eyed object, she only felt that her heart was beating "poof, poof", not because she fell in love at first sight, but because she was afraid, she was afraid that she would be scolded or even cursed by the other party for her recklessness. But Yunsheng didn't, he just blushed slightly, then stood in place and thought for a while, then reached out to help her up, and the moment she got up, she caused an old illness.
That half-day was about one of the few warm moments in her life. Despite the drizzle, this strange man has been taking care of himself. He rarely spoke, and she didn't dare to talk to him, so the two of them stood under the eaves of a verandah that could shelter from the rain, and you quietly looked at me, and I quietly looked at you.
When parting, Yun Sheng gave her the umbrella in his hand, and she only remembered that face.
When we met again, it was a dusk half a year later. Among the noisy pedestrians of the Yun family, he and her met unexpectedly. Looking at each other, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but the corner of her eye inadvertently swept his smile. I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by God, but the good weather suddenly blew up, followed by rain. She followed in his footsteps and ran to a small shop in the corner. The shop sells all the knick-knacks that my daughter's family likes. In order to avoid his gaze, she inadvertently lingered among those rouge gouaches and velvet flowers, but she fell in love with the jade screen.
The owner of the shop told them that this jade was not a good jade, because there were too many impurities in it, not to mention making jade, jade bracelets, or wanting to create a pair of earrings, which were not easy to choose. But if it is discarded like that, the master jade craftsman feels a pity. I happened to see the screen in my daughter's room, so I made one according to the pattern. It's just that this thing is not very common on the market, so it is not welcome, and it has been in his shop for a long time. If they like it, sell it to them.
In the end, Yun Sheng bought the jade screen and wanted to give it to Hui Niang as a gift. Although Hui Niang liked it, she didn't want to accept gifts from strange men at will, so she declined.
When parting, Yun Sheng asked Hui Niang in a low voice, if he took this jade screen as a dowry, would Hui Niang be willing to accept it? Hui Niang's face was full of shyness, and she didn't want to answer, but her chin nodded uncontrollably.
Yun Sheng smiled, he put away the jade screen properly, and handed the umbrella that Hui Niang intended to return to Hui Niang. He said that waiting for him, at most, in a month, he would let his father and mother go to Hui Niang's house to propose.
Hui Niang didn't know why she believed it! When she got home, she began to wait patiently, but a month passed, two months passed, and a year passed...... She never waited for Yunsheng. Just when she began to despair, thinking that the other party's words were just casual frivolous words, Yun Sheng came, and he really brought his father and mother to the door to propose marriage. That year, she turned seventeen. If it weren't for her old illness, her father would have promised her to someone else. But no matter what, she eventually became Yunsheng's wife, and Yunsheng became her husband after all.
For her husband, Hui Niang has not been without doubts. First of all, on the day of the proposal, Yun Sheng's unfamiliar eyes made her suddenly feel that she and he didn't know each other. But after all, she is no longer the fourteen-year-old girl, and the other party has become more reticent, so she attributes those changes to the growth of the two. The second is Yunsheng's character. The Yunsheng she knows, although he doesn't like to talk, he loves to laugh very much, especially those eyes, when he laughs, there seems to be a sun in them, but after getting married, Yunsheng still doesn't like to talk, but he doesn't like to laugh anymore.
The more Hui Niang thought about it, the more uneasy she became, and she looked at the face in front of her that was exactly the same as Yun Sheng, and more fear gradually floated in her heart. It's as if it's really like this Yunsheng said, there have always been two Yunsheng around her all these years.
She thought of the day of the wedding, the taciturn but like a hungry wolf on the bed, never pity her at all, and also remembered the second day after the wedding, she dragged her sore body to get up from the bed, the one standing outside the door, with a concerned face, but didn't know how to speak, only stuffed a bottle of ointment to her. and Yun Sheng, who was indifferent after learning that he was pregnant, but after she lost her child, he didn't say a word and just hugged her tightly in his arms, his face full of pain and self-blame......
All the past came to life in Hui Niang's mind one by one, and the two same faces were constantly intertwined in her mind, only pestering her with a splitting headache, and she couldn't help but gasp for breath.
