Chapter 46: The Past
(a)
The man was washed up on the riverbank with the wooden boat. He came to a fantastic place, a place that was not recorded on the map.
The sea was surging and the rain was pouring down, and he was unintentionally drifting here.
It looks like an isolated island, full of vegetation and trees, and no one should live here.
But he clearly saw a woman in white standing on the bank of the river.
She was dressed in fluttering clothes, humming a heavenly ballad.
She's no different from an ordinary girl,
Except, it seems to be more fairy-looking.
(b)
The long sound of the piano came one after another, coming from the lakeside.
This kind of music has never been heard on this island before.
The woman in white was sitting upright in front of the man at the moment, and the man was stroking a zither with her.
"Qingyuan, you learn so fast." The man said with satisfaction.
The woman in white didn't answer, just smiled.
"Do you like the sound of the piano?" The man grabbed her hand, and the sound of the piano slowly dissipated.
The woman in white still didn't answer, just nodded slightly.
"Qingyuan, what did you hear in this guqin?"
The woman paddled lightly with her fingers on the sand, a mountain, a river.
The world in the sand is the emotion of the human heart.
"A song of mountains and rivers actually made me find a soulmate outside this world." The man couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
(c)
At some point, a group of strange people came to the island, especially the white man who took the lead.
He was sometimes a handsome man, and sometimes he was a charming woman, which was really incomprehensible.
His name is Ah Wan.
Ah Wan likes to drink and talk with men, and he makes good wine.
Everything in the world, as long as it can be touched by the eye, in his hands, is a fine wine.
There's nothing a glass of wine can't dilute.
The man envied him very much, envious of his free and uninhibited.
(iv)
The stars are light and the lake is clear, and the toad light is drunk,
The piano is bleak, and the moonlight is intoxicating.
A girl in white was caressing the harp on the shore of the lake, and she sat on a stone bench, and the water vapor rising from the lake made her rise like a fairy.
Her piano sound is so melodious, the slender jade fingers are plucking on the strings, the woods, the flowing water, the breeze, the bright moon, as if everything is willing to be quiet and listen to her heart.
There is a thirst in the sound of the piano, and those who know the music will know it as soon as they hear it.
There was only a man in gray not far away, who didn't seem to hear anything at all, but only indulged in the wine in his glass, he was drunk and his eyes were foggy.
"Feng Qiuhuang, why do you always play this song." The man said drunkenly.
"Because I like it." The girl put away the piano, walked over to the man, and lifted him from the ground.
The man still only liked the wine cup in his hand, and inadvertently splashed the wine on the girl's body.
The girl didn't complain, she wasn't usually gentle, but she couldn't get angry at the moment, and still helped the scholar to sit down next to the stone bench.
"Qingyuan, I want to listen to you play the piano forever......"
(5)
The woman is lying comfortably on the man's chest,
The plain clothes as thin as cicada wings seem to be the white snow of spring falling on the jade skin.
The moonlight is quiet, and the people are silent.
Who is going to speak first?
She suddenly handed him a sachet, a red sachet that looked so inconspicuous.
"This is what I did for you, and it has what I say to you. It's just that the workmanship is a little rough, don't dislike it."
"Green Mandarin ......"
"Seeing it is like seeing me." The woman said shyly, "I hope you can always remember me." ”
The man could no longer contain his feelings, and hugged her tightly, ruffling her hair that fell from the corners of his eyes, softer than stroking the qin.
"You must not throw it away, if you lose it, it means that you have lost me, and if you carry it, you will always have me in your heart."
The man nodded casually.
"Mandarin ducks? Will your people agree with this if we do this? ”
"Leave them alone." The woman's breath was shallow, and she gently pressed her thin lips.
"Green Mandarin ......"
The man froze, fingers still resting on her cheek.
At this moment, he couldn't hear clearly, whether it was the sound of his own heavy breathing or the sound of the wind from the forest.
(f)
The two were lingering, but a scream came from the lakeside.
The voice came at such an inopportune time.
"It's Sister Bi Fang! Let's go check it out. ”
They did not dare to slack off, and ran non-stop to the shore of the lake, into a hidden cave.
What catches your eye is a tragic picture. The scorching flames in the sky can melt all the temperatures, and there is a drunk and overwhelmed Ah Wan in the same place.
"Sister Bi Fang is so good to you, you ungrateful bastard!"
Ah Wan was powerless to parry and was knocked unconscious to the ground.
(g)
The man sat quietly on the ground and pulled out a jade flute.
Xiao Sheng's voice is poignant, like a broken liver and intestines.
The song "Eighteen Beats ......" made the girl fall into sadness. You have something on your mind. ”
"Green Mandarin," the man pleaded, "and you are now the head of the clan, and I beg you to spare him."
The girl became angry, and she turned her head not to look at the man again. "He killed Sister Bi Fang, I won't let him go."
The man gently grabbed her hand.
"Don't be stupid, Mandarin Duck. If you kill him, his people will surely come back. ”
"And we don't have proof."
The girl did not speak again, but looked at the moon sadly.
"The Dragon Palace will definitely not let you go."
"Don't talk about it, are you in love with her?" She gently shook his hand away.
The girl's words are like the cold snow on a midsummer night, which makes people's hearts feel cold.
"Mandarin duck! Why do you think that, I just don't want you to do anything wrong. The man looked helpless.
"Tonight is his last night in this world."
"Wait! Can I talk to him......" was his last request.
(viii)
The man led Ah Wan to the grassy riverbank. As always, it's as quiet as ever.
He slowly carried Ah Wan onto the mossy wooden boat, his expression resolute, and he didn't seem to hesitate or hesitate.
"Mr. Liu, do you really want to do this?"
The man didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
He rowed his oars, rippling in circles on the water's edge.
"Mr. Liu, you don't have to do this for me, I know you love her deeply."
"Ah Wan, have you forgotten what I once said? That's what I want the world to look like. ”
The boat drifted away with the current,
The breeze is still there, the moon is still bright, as if nothing had happened.
(ix)
In the distance, among the trees, the woman in white and her adopted daughter flew in mid-air.
"Mother, do you really want to watch them flee?"
The woman in white suddenly cried, and her tears turned into rain flowers this season.
"I can't do anything to him......"
"Mother's ......"
"Xiao Ori, you must not be like me in the future."
They could only watch the page drift away in the cold moonlight.
She didn't know she was pregnant.
