I went back down the hill, still in shock.

Xiuzhuang walked around, without Xia Xia, the whole Xiuzhuang seemed to be in a dead state, no kitchen, no laughter, no kicking footsteps, usually she always lit small lights everywhere, because she knew that I was afraid of the dark, now what? The whole house was pitch black, and every corner was strange and cold.

There was indeed a fireworks in the kitchen, only a small stove was snoring and stewing porridge and something, and the white foam was spitting out, staining the entire pottery cup.

went to the courtyard next door, Song Lingjian was placed in Haipiao's room, lying neatly and coldly, the hair on the back of his head was carefully brought to his body, his black hair was even paler against his sharpened face, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and he still had a lot of worries in his heart when he fell.

I looked at her quietly, remembering that she had watched me quietly by my bedside for countless days and nights when I was sick, and although she always said evil words and poured cold water on me when she woke up, I knew that she would not worry about me less than I did about her.

I didn't expect that, I thought only that if I died, all the possibilities for them might still live here, maybe they would be separated, but I didn't think that they would fall too.

I really want to shake her hand, I want her to know that I am with her at the critical moment.

I still don't understand, why didn't Haipiao come? Isn't this the moment when Song Lingjian needs someone to accompany him the most?

Only then did I notice that Song Lingjian was between the two hands in front of her, holding a jade plaque - the one she was holding in her hand before she fell?

I took a closer look, I remember that the jade plate was round at that time, Song Lingjian pressed it somewhere, and the jade card suddenly fell into many small holes, and there was light smoke flying out of the hole at that time, and now this jade card looks like a semicircle is not square, as if it has been crushed, and the lines on it are also uneven, but it can be vaguely seen that it is a broken sword.

The broken sword inexplicably reminds me of the woman named You Wujian.

You Wujian-I was suddenly stunned-

This jade plaque of Song Lingjian comes from the You family, the woman of the You family-

The girl who ruined her marriage with Shangguan Yan is also surnamed You, and she is also a medical family, her name is You Wujian, I have seen her appearance in my dream, her demeanor and expression, are very similar to Song Lingjian-

I closed my eyes and thought about it vigorously, thinking about what was so special about her, her green shirt like bamboo, the unstoppable momentum when she crossed her arms and spoke—and, the jade plaque hanging from her waist, round and emitting mysterious smoke......

I stared at the jade plaque in Song Lingjian's hand—

Is it my delusion? Why does it feel the same piece?

Don't...... The person who went to Tianshan with Song Lingjian to find Jin Sezhu, and the person who broke the marriage and broke the contract with Shangguan Yan, are the same person? ……

How can it be...... How could it be such a coincidence......

But maybe it's so coincidental, You Wujian ran away from home after breaking the marriage with Shangguan Yan, it should have been seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, she met Song Lingjian on the way to travel, and then they had similar personalities, so they became friends and went to Tianshan together, and then, this teacher-like figure who even Song Lingjian revered was buried in the snow belly, and even she didn't know where she was buried, so Shangguan Li They couldn't find her for so long, because it was impossible to find it......

On the timeline, such an assumption fits......

I fell into a long wandering spirit, dark as if I was sleeping, my dreams were always wandering only in the passing time, and I now wanted to be able to explore the future, to lift its black veil, even if it allowed me to see a little-

A little bit of what our future will look like, is it sad or happy? Is it gathering or scattering?

Like them, I hope you all are well, well.

"My ...... Sister Fei, how could this be? I was obviously fine last time...... "I heard Dabao's cry, hazy and aggrieved, and choked up.

I was obviously still next to Song Lingjian before I traveled to my senses, but I came back to my senses and had returned to my room, the sky was already bright, and the sunlight through the window paper carried a little dust, but unfortunately I couldn't feel warm or cold.

Zheng Zhuzhu stood in front of the bed, his eyes red, while Dabao sat on the foot of my bed, pulling my quilt to wipe his tears.

Yan Cuo stood far away, watching all this at the door.

"If you stay for a long time, stay with her, you don't need to add charcoal, she is not cold now." The three of them were silent like this for a while, and Yan staggered the door to go out.

"Little Young Master Yan—" Zheng Zhuzhu stopped him, "I have something to ask for, and I hope it can be fulfilled." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Yan Fei once told me that she likes to listen to people play music, and I promised her that I would play it to her when I had the opportunity to learn a good song. Can I stay here with her and play a few songs for her — maybe—maybe she'll hear them? ......" Zheng Jewel said, lowering his eyes and crying.

"Nobody can play here, no piano." Yan said wrongly.

"I have, I thought she would be free today, so I asked the family to help me get it, and it should be on the way now...... If you don't want to, if it disturbs her rest, then I won't play. ”

Yan glanced at me on the bed and pressed her eyebrows, if I didn't misinterpret that expression, was it sad?

He said softly: "She usually likes to join in the fun, and she can't bear to be quiet for a moment...... If you're not tired, just play. ”

Dabao sobbed and said, "I was happy to send the wedding sticker, otherwise we wouldn't know that Sister Fei was sick...... Why didn't they come and tell us about such a big thing? You must not have treated us as your own......"

Zheng Jewel looked sadly at the few wedding stickers scattered on the table, and gently sorted them out in the past, pressing them under the teapot.

It seems that the news of my serious illness has not been spread by them, it is so serious, maybe I don't want others to disturb it, and it is always easier to digest the greatest grief silently than to accept the mercy of others.

yes, it's a happy thing to receive the wedding sticker, and I really don't want you to laugh and cry.

I really don't want anyone who knows to fall into this kind of sadness, I want me to bring them happiness rather than pain, especially since their wedding is about to happen, and there hasn't been such a big event in the town for a long time.

"Don't you want us to worry...... Maybe, maybe she'll be fine soon, so I won't say it for fear of affecting our happiness......" Zheng Jewel is always so understanding.

“…… Sister Fei can't attend the ceremony, and Xia Xia can't come...... Then I won't be able to kiss it...... No, it's not ......," Dabao flattened his mouth and wiped his tears.

Zheng Jewel sighed, she knew that there were some things that she couldn't make her own willful decisions, and she was quick to say it for a while, and she didn't refute Dabao's childish words.

"Didn't you bring the ingredients and say that you want to make something for Sister Fei?"

Dabao sucked blood and said: "Sister Fei is like this, what else do I do, who will eat, Sister Xia Xia can't help me, what else does it mean......"

"She can't eat now, but she can hear and smell it, it's better than if you're here and crying all the time, right? She certainly doesn't want to see us like that. ”

Dabao wiped his tears, looked at me on the bed and said, "That's ...... Then I'll do it, you accompany Sister Fei and talk to her more. ”

Zheng Zhuzhu nodded, and as soon as Dabao went out, her tears fell, and she sat beside me gently, looking at me with red eyes.

She is still wearing the Kai-shouldered nude dress I saw in the yayuan last time, the dark blue sleeves and light gray Kai-shoulders make her always sick and godless face feel a lot more energetic, this dress reminds me of Aunt Lantian, imagining her heroic appearance wearing it with a small blade.

"Knock knock", someone knocked on the courtyard door, and pushed in directly with a bang, and the person asked at the door, "Is anyone there?" Young Master Huang? Miss Zheng? ”

I know this voice, it is Chen Bing, who I haven't seen for a few days.

Zheng Jewel quickly wiped away his tears, pressed his reddened eyes hard, walked out quickly, and responded: "I'm here, is it Chen Yashi?" ”

I saw Chen Bing carrying a large and flat brocade cloth bag on his shoulder, and I didn't know what was in it, so I took a breath, looked at Zheng Zhuzhu and said with a smile: "It's delayed for a while, Miss Zheng is not to blame." Where do you put it? He actually saw Zheng Jewel's crying face, pretending not to know, and looked around.

It turned out that Zheng Zhuzhu had already arranged for someone from the yayuan to deliver the qin, maybe she thought I was still fine and planned to play a few songs for me.

Looking at Chen Bing, I remembered Han Sanxiao, but after a few days, Chen Bing also seemed to be a lot haggard, it may be a matter of the yayuan, or it may be a matter of Li Xue.

Zheng Jewel hurriedly went to pick up the qin, obviously she didn't expect that it would be Chen Bing to deliver the qin, and said: "Why are you embarrassed to bother Chen Yashi, I asked Mother Xiong to send a house to deliver the goods, how lazy she was to let you help directly——"

Chen Bing said with a smile: "Miss Zheng didn't have something to do with Mama Xiong, she didn't have time to run to Zheng's mansion, and I just happened to come to the town for a trip, so I just took this piano directly, it's not heavy, it's just by the way." ”

Is Mama Bear still taking care of Li Xue? It seems that Chen Bing is still very attentive and has come to repay the favor of Mama Xiong and Zheng Zhuzhu.

Zheng Zhuzhu said: "Chen Ya has a heart-I'll come-"

Chen Bing took a step back and said, "This piano is not heavy, but Miss Zheng can't carry it alone." Tell me where to put it, and I'll just help Miss Zheng put it away. ”

Zheng Zhu glanced at my room, obviously didn't want Chen Bing to go in, and said, "It's better to put it on the table in the courtyard first, and then let Dabao help me move it when I think about it." ”

Chen Bing has been in the market since he was a child, and his mind is also familiar, so he didn't ask much, put the piano on the stone table, looked around, and said, "Is there no one in the courtyard?" Usually the Yan girl has already come out, why is it quiet today? ”

Zheng Zhuzhu would not lie, and maybe he didn't want to tell this lie that would soon be exposed, so he lowered his eyes and stroked Qin Shangjin and did not answer.

Chen Bing frowned, serious: "Isn't it, something happened?" ”

Zheng Jewel frowned and said softly: "It was said that the stubborn disease recurred, and the illness could not wake up, two days ago." ”

Chen Bing looked at my window worriedly, our friendship was deeper than nodding friends, but not to the point of visiting in illness, he scratched the faint scar on his eyebrows with some distress, and asked in a deep voice, "Is there anything I can help with?" ”

Zheng Zhuzhu shook his head and said, "I also came to deliver the post today to know that the New Year is approaching, and they are reluctant to publicize her condition, thinking that she has explained that she does not want to worry people she knows." So Chen Yashi, please keep silent and act as if you don't know about it, okay? ”

Chen Bing said: "Yesterday, Qin Ye hurriedly packed up and left the yayuan, was it for the sake of here?" ”

Zheng Zhuzhu still shook his head: "I don't know, but if the Yan family has something, he shouldn't care." There are a lot of people guarding this place, guarding her, and I'm sure she'll be fine. ”

Chen Bing gritted his teeth and hesitated, "Can I tell her?" ”

The one he was referring to should be Li Xue.

Zheng Zhuzhu pondered for a moment and said, "You are in charge, it is good to let her have some enthusiasm and some understanding." Xia Xia - Xia Xia can't take care of so much, if she is in better spirits, she can still come here to help, it's better than thinking about it at home every day, even if I can take the time to come, I don't know how to cook these housework, I'm afraid I can't take care of it. However, if you tell her, please keep her quiet and let the rest of the town know, let her recuperate quietly, and let the townspeople happily welcome Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

Chen Bing nodded, barely squeezing out a smile: "Miss Zheng has a heart." There is a difference between men and women, and it is not convenient to go in to visit, if there is a need for help, the yazhong can just tell me directly, and I will not give up. ”

Some friendships have been piled up for years, but the weathered smoke is scattered in time, only sighing and looking back, while some are short for a few days, and they can also treat each other with sincerity and sincerity like friends of life and death.
