In a small courtyard, the moonlight is thick.

Shen Yuchen stopped in front of the door of the house, and did not mean to go in, but said: "I saw the flower peony today." ”

His shadow flickered once or twice in the candlelight, but he was silent for a long time.

"She was caught by Shen Yucheng and fell into his hands, her fate is over."

After waiting for a while, I found that he still didn't react, sighed, and said, "I'm going back to the lockdown tomorrow." ”

Shen Yuchen was about to leave, but heard the door creak open. Bai Heng strode forward, grabbed him and asked, "You want to go?" ”

Shen Yuchen nodded lightly.

"What about her?"

"I have nothing to do with her, and after going through so many things, I have also figured it out, so it is better to be okay with each other." He turned his head, his tone was indifferent, and his whole person was like a pool of moonlight that would dissipate at any time.

Bai Heng gritted his teeth, raised his fist, and hit him in the face. He didn't hide, swallowed a mouthful of blood, and let him grab his collar and curse bitterly.

"Are you crazy! How do you let her live in the future! ”

Shen Yuchen smiled a little, "I'm crazy, I'm not only crazy, I'm also cowardly and incompetent." I knew that he wanted to up in the inn, I knew that he was going to take away my hard work for so many years, and he was going to take away the woman I loved the most, but I didn't want to resist, I couldn't fight Shen Yucheng, and I didn't want to fight, so be it. ”

Bai Heng's face turned pale, and he punched him in the face again, he was beaten and staggered back a few steps, held on to the door post and vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and laughed lowly, "If you kill me, I won't fight anymore." Just let her look away. Anyway, Shen Yuchen is already dead, presumably after the child is born, she will know the news, so let me die. ”

Bai Heng's eyes were like blades, coldly nailing him, his heart seemed to be burning, and he put a cold cave, "Shen Yuji, you Shen family don't have a good thing!" ”

"Yes, it was our Shen family who harmed her life." There seemed to be tears in his eyes, but the laughter immediately dispersed, "Before leaving, I want to tell you something. Someone told Hua Peony that you were dead, and in order to avenge you, she thought that if she found out the scandal of Shen Yucheng's golden house and hidden Jiao, Shen Yucheng and his wife would be discordant and rejected by the Xu family. I know that my eldest brother will not sit idly by and wait for the situation to develop, so she is busy for nothing, but the Mu family used her power to kill Xu Shuning. But she can be said to be benevolent to you. ”

Bai Heng's face was complicated, and his fists were clenched tighter and tighter.

"I just told you the truth, as for the rest, what you want to do is your own business, but look at how much weight she has in your heart."

The next day, Shen Yucheng personally sent Shen Yuchen to the train station, patted him on the shoulder before leaving, and said: "I have already sent a telegram to my family, and my father heard that you are going back, and most of your illness is cured, and they miss you very much." You go back in peace, do your filial piety under your parents' knees, and be a safe and wealthy young master, isn't this what you have always wanted? ”

Shen Yuzhen shook his head, a cold smile on the corner of his lips, and his eyes burned, "What does the big brother want?" ”

Shen Dashao's eyes narrowed, a little guarded, "You know what I want, everything I do is for the good of the Shen family." ”

"For the good of the Shen family?" Shen Yuchen pulled his lips and snorted coldly, "Then forget it." With that, he turned and walked into the crowd.

Shen Dashao still didn't believe it, and suddenly said, "You just gave up on her like this?" ”

Shen Yuchen's footsteps didn't stop, his steps became faster and faster, as if he was uncontrollable, every sense of his body was uncontrollable, it just hurt, and the pain made his eyes wet.

However, he was separated from her by the ends of the world in the second half of his life, and he no longer had the energy to cross mountains and mountains and wade across rivers and seas to find her.

Ping Yan felt a cramp in her heart, suddenly woke up, screamed, Xu woke up the Buddha, the little baby waved its limbs in swaddling clothes, and cried non-stop.

Ping Yan picked him up and hummed a folk song, but Buddha Sheng cried more and more fiercely. It happened that at this time, Tan'er heard the sound and ran in, "What's wrong?" Why did Buddha Sheng cry so much? ”

She was also a little uneasy, holding the child Mumu. Tan'er saw that she didn't look good, and wanted to hug Buddha Sheng over, but Buddha Sheng's little hand randomly hooked a red thread in her neck, and suddenly stopped crying, but opened her eyes wide and stared at it without blinking.

Ping Yan untied the chain and dangled it in front of his eyes. The jade pendant swayed from side to side, and the Buddha grinned, looking extremely excited.

"It seems that we Buddhas miss our father." Ping Yan teased him with her eyebrows, and discussed with Tan'er, "It's not okay for us to stay in the temple all the time, and I'll go to Nie Caidie and Mu Zicheng to explain later, presumably they won't stop me." Let's pack up and go find the second young master this afternoon. ”

Tan'er lowered her eyes, as if she hadn't heard her words, and the solemnity on her face became heavier. Ping Yan's heart jumped, and she asked steadily, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? Did he have an accident? ”

Tan'er hurriedly shook her head, stuffed the Buddha back into her arms, and said busily: "I'll go and see if the porridge in the back kitchen is ready." Immediately nervously ran away.

Ping Yan looked at her back, and was secretly wondering, Buddha Sheng cried again, and put the matter aside as soon as he coaxed the child.

After lunch, I heard Tan'er say that the car had been parked under the back mountain, and Mu Zicheng planned to take her to find Shen Yuchen.

Thinking of the love between them, Ping Yan didn't think about it, and after bidding farewell to the abbot of Jidu, in order to avoid the guards sent by Shen Yucheng to guard outside the temple, Nie Caidie led him from a secret passage in the meditation room to the back mountain, and got into the car with Tan'er.

It was noon, but the tree-lined path was also cool, but Ping Yan was a little hot, and her blood was rushing, I don't know if it was because she was about to get together with her beloved, or because she was in the same room with Mu Zicheng, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you believe that my aunt is still alive?" ”

His hand on the steering wheel was slightly forced, but he didn't say anything for a long time, so long that Ping Yan no longer had hope, but he spoke, with some sad persistence, "She has always lived in my heart, and she has never died." ”

Ping Yan then asked, "What happened to you back then?" There was a hint of coolness in his voice.

Nie Caidie turned her head with begging eyes, signaling her not to ask any more, at least not in front of him, and let him remove the scars of the year with his own hands.

Mu Zicheng quickly said: "I made a private agreement with her for life, which was unknown to both families, and it was not recognized at that time, just like a male thief and a female prostitute." Then my father arranged for me to marry something better, and this happened. ”

Ping Yan was a little angry, "It turns out that you are also such a person, and she has paid the wrong life for her life." ”

Mu Zicheng laughed twice, feeling endless desolation, and whimpered vaguely, "Yes, she paid the wrong life." ”

Nie Caidie seemed to be about to open her mouth to defend herself, but was interrupted by him, "The process is not important, the reason is not important, the important thing is the ending, since the ending is already like this, there is nothing to explain, I am reaping the consequences." ”

He simply reaped the consequences of his own life, but he spent his life atoning for his sins. In this world, it is probably the most difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong, everyone is as sweet as glue, everyone has been injured, everyone is justified, no one can extricate themselves, and they are willing to be captured for the rest of their lives.

The taste of this can only be tasted by those who are in it, and the love and hate in it can only be known by those who have experienced it firsthand. To others, it's just speculation.

Seeing that the car drove more and more away, it was almost an uninhabited wasteland and sparse forest. Ping Yan asked, "Why did you bring me here?" ”

Mu Zicheng and Nie Caidie didn't answer her, so she went to pull Tan'er's hand, and the two stars in her pupils trembled, "Does he live here?" ”

Tan'er's tears fell, and she was busy wiping them, but she grabbed her hand and asked sharply, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? What are you crying about! You say! ”

Tan'er only shouted, "Sister Pingyan...... Sister...... Second young master, he, he ......"

The car turned off, and Mu Zicheng's voice sounded, "It's here, he's ...... It's inside. ”

Ping Yan hugged the child tightly, opened the car door in a panic, and ran out. But seeing a small pine and cypress forest in front of her, overgrown with weeds and black finches nesting, she expected something, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. Tan'er stepped forward to support her, and called in a choked voice: "Sister......"

Ping Yan shook her off, stepped on the dirt and ran, floating like a withered butterfly, as if she was about to fly with the wind. Tan'er caught up, but she couldn't catch up, she was obviously staggering like this, aimless.

She saw that it was a stele, inserted in the dirt, with a rough blue and white stone texture, and a few large characters written on it. She seemed to be able to see what was written at a glance, but suddenly she became dazzled, and she took a small step forward, as if stepping off a cliff, and her body fell violently, into the abyss...... She tripped over the ground, the soft green of her palms was the weeds by the grave, and the Buddha fell to the ground and cried, but she couldn't cry.

She climbed forward, knelt down in front of the tombstone, and got very close, her fingers slid over the words on the tablet, and her eyes widened to see what they were. She wanted to make sure again, she didn't believe her eyes, and she didn't believe the answer in her heart.

Her fingers slid over and over again, over and over again, grinding her fingers to the point of bleeding.
