When Shen Qingmeng heard this, her expression sank, and she realized something: "Is she no longer there?" ”

"Yes." Cai Qianqing carefully smelled the fragrance of tea, as if she smelled too much, and the pleasant fragrance of tea would be completely taken away by her sense of smell.

Shen Qingmeng raised his hand and picked up the teacup: "The tea is ready, Mr. can start, just tell me a story." ”

Cai Qianqing shook her head, just took a sip of tea, although her heart was sour, the flower tea was still sweet.

Shen Qingmeng said again: "Sir, the past is different from wine, the wine will become more and more fragrant, but the past in your heart will become more and more sour, so sour that you don't want to recall it anymore, the past will really become a story." ”

Cai Qianqing was still silent, just picked up the teacup and looked out of the house.

Shen Qingmeng also looked outside the house and looked at the osmanthus trees: "Sir, if you don't mind, I'll tell you the story of the osmanthus trees outside." ”

Cai Qianqing nodded in response: "Okay." ”

"There was a little girl named Osmanthus. She doesn't have a big name, she doesn't even know what her father's name is, maybe her father doesn't have a decent name, she was sold by her father when she was very young, because the family can't eat enough, the clothes are not warm, and selling osmanthus can still make other brothers and sisters live. Shen Qingmeng still looked outside the house, not knowing that Cai Qianqing was looking at herself at this time, "When the osmanthus was sold for the first time, she was only 5 years old, she clearly remembered that morning, her mother stuffed a raw sweet potato in her hand and asked her to eat it on the road, she also remembered that her mother cried that day......"

Speaking of this, Shen Qingmeng turned his head and looked at Cai Qianqing, at that moment, the two of them met their eyes, no one avoided their gaze, Shen Qingmeng, who was extremely calm in her heart, did not know that half of Cai Qianqing's soul at this time had flown back to Xia Li Township many years ago through her eyes.

Shen Qingmeng said again: "That's not the first time Osmanthus has been sold, she became a child daughter-in-law at the age of 5, and she was sold again at the age of 8, because her father-in-law is a gambler, just like that, Osmanthus has been sold again and again like a commodity, and Osmanthus has finally changed from a crying girl to a dusty woman who can smile no matter what she faces." ”

Cai Qianqing's eyes still did not leave Shen Qingmeng.

"Sir, let me tell you a secret." Shen Qingmeng looked at the osmanthus tree outside, "I told Qiu Zhutan that my man, my former husband, is buried under the osmanthus tree outside, but I didn't tell him why, because I know that Qiu Zhutan likes me, I am in front of a man who likes me, talking about the man I once loved deeply, he will definitely be very uncomfortable, but I have always wanted to find someone to tell this matter, as I just said, the past has been in my heart for a long time, and it will really become a story." ”

Cai Qianqing nodded silently.

Shen Qingmeng walked to the door and stood against the door: "The year I was sold to the Eight Kings Courtyard, I had a serious illness, the doctor said, this disease starts from the heart, and it needs heart medicine, I don't understand, in short, I just lie there every day, looking out the window and waiting for death, until he appears, his name is Luohuai......"

Luo Huai, a very strange name, I remembered this name when I met Shen Qingmeng for the first time, he was the apprentice of the doctor, he was not handsome, and he was not good at words, he stood on one side so quietly every time, the master took whatever he said, let him stand, let him sit, just like a puppet.

However, once after the doctor left in a hurry, Luo Huai, who was standing there, smiled at Shen Qingmeng.

Shen Qingmeng also smiled, she thought that Luo Huai would not laugh, she asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Luo Huai said: "I thought beautiful girls were fierce, but you weren't." ”

These words made Shen Qingmeng laugh out loud, she covered her mouth and laughed for a long time, and then asked, "Why do you think that beautiful girls are fierce?" ”

Luo Huai frowned and said seriously: "Because their eyes are always looking up when they speak, and if they ask ten words, they may answer you, and if you ask one more question, they will get angry." ”

Shen Qingmeng felt that he was really cute, and pointed outside: "Do you mean those girls outside?" ”

Luo Huai nodded vigorously and simply sat on the edge of the bed.

Shen Qingmeng wanted to stop it, but he also knew that Luo Huai didn't seem to understand these things at all, so he simply took back the words he wanted to export.

That day, Shen Qingmeng and Luo Huai chatted for a long time, and they didn't reluctantly say goodbye until the doctor who had a bad stomach was a little more comfortable.

Then, Shen Qingmeng looked forward to seeing Luohuai, but her illness was getting better day by day, and the number of times Luohuai came became less and less, but on the day Luohuai finally came, Luohuai told Shen Qingmeng that he was not from here, he was from Hebei, and his mother fled with him when he was a child, because his father was a gambler, not only lost his family, but even his child daughter-in-law also lost, and the funny thing is that his child daughter-in-law was only two years older than him.

Hearing this, Shen Qingmeng, who was drinking medicine, was stunned, she tried to recall it in her mind, and then asked, "Luohuai, is there a willow tree in front of your house?" ”

Luo Huai thought for a while and said, "There is a tree, but it is not a willow tree, it is a locust tree, a big locust tree." ”

"Yes, the big locust tree." Shen Qingmeng finally remembered, at least in her memory, except for her original parents, only the place where she was a child daughter-in-law could be considered home.

Luo Huai asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Qingmeng asked rhetorically: "Do you miss her?" ”

"Who?" Luo Huai asked suspiciously.

Shen Qingmeng smiled: "Your wife." ”

Luo Huai said: "I don't remember very clearly, my mother said to me before she died, saying that I was stupid, I didn't know how to make a living, maybe I wouldn't be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and I would become a dog in the next life, but I wouldn't become a dog, because I had a little daughter-in-law." ”

Shen Qingmeng laughed in a low voice: "She is not small, she is older than you." ”

Luo Huai smiled stupidly.

Recalling this, Shen Qingmeng turned around: "Later, I will change back into his wife, because since I was a child, no matter how many times I have been sold, I have always hoped that there will be such a person who will come to me all over the world, no matter who it is." ”

After hearing this, Cai Qianqing said lightly: "If you guess correctly, this person is a liar, just a chess piece to lure you into the game and make you die hard, right?" ”

Shen Qingmeng smiled: "Mr. is so wise, what Qiu Detective said doesn't seem to be exaggerating in the slightest, but I don't know how to tell this story." ”

"Otherwise, let me guess." Cai Qianqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, "When I finish guessing the ending of your story, I'll tell you my story, no, it's the past, and I don't want to turn the past into a story." ”

Shen Qingmeng sat down again: "Okay." ”

Cai Qianqing said calmly: "Luohuai wants to take you to elope and take you back to your hometown in Hebei, you readily agree, but you and he can't take out so much money to redeem yourself, and you have no choice but to flee secretly......"

Shen Qingmeng sat there, her eyes gradually blurred because of tears, and in the blur, she returned to the dark night, as if she felt the warmth from Luohuai holding her hand again.

Ran out of Yongcheng and came to the outside of the city, Shen Qingmeng saw a carriage, as well as several big men next to the carriage, she was a little surprised, and then turned her head to look at Luo Huai, but Luo Huai shook off her hand and said to those big men: "People have brought it, Shen Qingmeng, the head brand of the osmanthus house in the south courtyard of the Eight Kings Courtyard, friends, give money." ”

Shen Qingmeng didn't believe it was true at all, she stood there stupidly, and asked in a trembling voice, "Why?" ”

Yes, why?

God, why are you doing this to me?

What am I doing wrong?

Or is it that I did something wrong in my last life and want me to pay it back in this life?

Just when Shen Qingmeng fell into a daze and heard the laughter of Luo Huai and those big men in his ears, several black shadows jumped out of the forest, quickly solved those big men, and escorted Luo Huai to Shen Qingmeng.

Then, out of the woods came a man in a cloak, who handed Shen Qingmeng, who seemed to be gone, a dagger, and then pushed her back.

Shen Qingmeng held the dagger in both hands and stabbed into Luo Huai's chest.

Looking at the painful expression on Luo Huai's face, Shen Qingmeng finally came back to his senses.

At that moment, she finally woke up from her dream.

"That's the rough end." Cai Qianqing exhaled the breath in his chest, and he felt that his chest was very tight when he speculated on the ending, and he could completely feel the despair in Shen Qingmeng's heart.

Subsequently, Cai Qianqing said: "The person who set you up is Ying Ye, that is, Rong Pingye, but he didn't reveal his identity at that time, he took you to sneak back to the Eight Kings Courtyard, buried Luo Huai's body under the osmanthus trees in the courtyard, and then left quietly, not long after, Tie Peiwen came to the door and made a deal with you on behalf of Sun San, you happily agreed for the sake of money and your future, because Shen Qingmeng at that time was not the same as in the past." ”

Shen Qingmeng listened expressionlessly, without saying a word.

"Next, Rong Pingye found you again as a shadow master, and asked you to help him spy on Sun San's intelligence, otherwise, he will expose Luohuai's affairs, although you know very well that it was arranged by him, but you can't do anything." Cai Qianqing lifted the teapot and shook it, "The tea is gone." ”

Shen Qingmeng got up and changed to a teapot, boiled water, and after the water boiled, it fell into the tea leaves, and the fragrance of tea wafted in the house again.

At this time, Cai Qianqing continued: "And the person who sold you to the Eight Kings Courtyard in Yongcheng is Hu Shen, but you don't know, you haven't seen this person at all, but I can be sure of him." ”

Shen Qingmeng was a little surprised: "Why?" ”

"The poisonous snake knows that it is poisonous, but the poison does not necessarily know, because the poison does not poison people, you are the dose of poison that Hu Shen prepared for me a long time ago. Tang Anshu is Hu Shen's apprentice, Hu Shen designed all this, he knows that Tang Anshu is powerless to defend the city, not only because Hu Shen knows him, but also because Tang Anshu has more important things to do, and Tang Anshu's best friend is only me, and as his best friend, I have a fatal weakness. Cai Qianqing finished speaking in one breath, paused again, and then said, "My weakness is called Yulan, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, and my childhood sweetheart." ”

Shen Qingmeng knew that Cai Qianqing's past had begun, but at this time, Cai Qianqing wanted to take this past as a story.
