Chapter 10: Letters
"What the hell?" Xia Beifeng stared at the extra pile of paper on the table, a little stunned.
He wanted to reach for it, but he accidentally pulled the wound on his shoulder, and after the pain was a moment, he immediately remembered what was going on.
In any case, it is more important to have your own injuries.
Thinking so, he unscrewed the alcohol bottle and moistened the wound with gauze dipped in some alcohol.
When the alcohol touched the wound, he felt a stirring of pain.
Xia Beifeng gritted his teeth, quickly wiped the dirt standing on the wound along with the blood stains, and began to wrap bandages around his shoulders.
After Xia Beifeng treated the wound on his shoulder, he turned over a clean piece of clothes and changed them on. Then he sat down in his chair, lit the candle on the table, and began to look through the pile of papers that had appeared when he was not in the room.
It was a neat stack of envelopes. Each envelope is not too thin, and it even feels a little heavy when you hold it in your hand together, and there are a lot of letters in the envelope.
The envelopes look a little old, but they are well preserved and do not show a single crease or stain. The envelopes are soft to the touch, and some of them even have fine raw edges, making it look like someone is constantly turning them.
All the recipients of the letters have the same name - Jiang Yunshan.
Xia Beifeng lined up these envelopes on the table and counted them, a total of seventeen letters.
He casually picked up an envelope and opened it - the seal of this envelope had already been opened, and Xia Beifeng did not feel the slightest guilt about reading other people's letters, and he didn't even say sorry to the owner of the letter before reading the letter.
When the envelope was opened, a slightly smaller envelope fell out of it.
What the hell is this? Xia Beifeng thought and looked at the envelope in the envelope.
The recipient's name is Shen Nian.
Xia Beifeng was stunned for a moment when he saw this name, and then let out a very disgusted "tsk" before opening it. He took out a thick stack of letter paper from the envelope and began to read the contents of the letter by candlelight.
The candle flame flickered slightly, making the whole room seem to be a little shaky, and the orange light sprinkled through the small room, which seemed a little warm.
Xia Beifeng quickly finished reading a letter, then opened an envelope and continued to read the letter written by this person who did not know how many years ago.
It wasn't until the last letter was read that he leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.
He had just been dazzled by the flickering candlelight, and he would have time to close his eyes and rest for a while. He tilted his head back and moved his stiff neck. I wanted to stretch my waist, but when my arm was raised to the general level, I pulled the wound on my shoulder again, and I couldn't help but gasp with a "hiss", and slowly lowered my arm again.
Thanks to this pain, his originally sleepy brain suddenly woke up.
He looked at the table of envelopes and stationery in front of him, and rubbed the corners of his forehead with some headaches.
Without exception, these letters were all written to her "Mr. Shen" by a woman named Jiang Yunshan.
The content of the letter can be summed up in just a few sentences back and forth: I love you, but you don't love me, I'm so good, why don't you love me, I love you so much, why don't you love me, have you ever loved me, I know you have loved me, right, if you don't love me, forget it, you actually love others, how can there be someone better than me in this world who is worthy of you...... And so on these small emotions unique to the spring girl.
If the letters are arranged in chronological order, then the girl's emotions probably went through a process from anger to grief and finally despair.
If you count the letters in your hand, then these are eighteen letters. In a total of three months, this Miss Jiang wrote a letter to Mr. Shen in an average of five days, and every word was full of affection, and it was a pity to see each other late......
Xia Beifeng picked up an envelope on the table, stared at the three words "Shen Nianshui" on the envelope for a while, and suddenly sighed: "You are old, what a scourge!" ”
"Who are you talking to?" Yun Qingzi, the ghost Taoist priest who had disappeared from the garden, suddenly made a voice in Xia Beifeng's pocket again: "Who do you say is a scourge." ”
"I'm talking about a guy who is particularly underwhelmed, you don't know." Xia Beifeng took out the mirror from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"Are you alright?" The ghost Taoist priest looked around in the mirror for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing around, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Xia Beifeng quite proudly: "I already knew that you would be fine, fellow Daoist, you would definitely be fine, aren't you just a few wolf demons who haven't become a climate yet!" It's a pity that I'm already dead, if I'm still alive, where bother fellow Daoists, you can do it yourself, just a thunder rune, you can bake all those wolf demons into charcoal. ”
"Uh-huh, that's." Xia Beifeng praised him in a strange tone, "You are the most powerful, why do you say that no one is looking for you to be a national teacher?" How blind they are! ”
"Daoyou is really praised, you are actually not bad." The ghost priest smiled awkwardly and began to change the subject.
"What about the beasts, Daoyou, you killed them all?"
"Nope."
Xia Beifeng repacked the letters on the table as he spoke, stacked them neatly in the original order, and placed them in the corner of the table in a regular manner, where they were originally placed, before he tilted his head and glanced at the bronze mirror, "When the female ghost finished singing, the group of beasts ran away." ”
"I see!" The ghost Taoist priest seemed to be a little contemptuous and said, "I thought it was Daoist friends that you cleaned up those beasts, but it turned out that it wasn't." ”
Xia Beifeng ignored him. After packing up the pile of letters from nowhere, he blew out the candles, threw the bronze mirror into the drawer of his desk, and went to bed.
The bronze mirror refused to be honest in the drawer, constantly banging against the drawer, making a noisy sound.
"Be honest, I'm going to sleep." Xia Beifeng lay on the boat and turned over, turned his back to the direction of the desk, and said without looking back, "If you make any more noise, tomorrow I will go to the garden and throw your pile of broken bones into the river, so that you can't find them if you want to." ”
The ghost Taoist priest immediately stopped moving, and obediently stayed in the dark drawer, and did not dare to make any other sound until dawn.
In fact, Xia Beifeng didn't sleep well in bed this night. Although the doors and windows have been pasted with rune paper, who knows if there will be something popping up in this house, or if it is simply that ghost Taoist priest who is not honest and wants to do something.
He kept pushing himself up when he was about to fall asleep, opening his eyes to keep himself sane. But soon the drowsiness hit again, making him involuntarily close his eyes and want to fall asleep.
As a result, as he woke up and fell asleep, and had been tossing and turning over and over in a daze, it was dawn.
The night was uneventful.
It was already past ten o'clock when Xia Beifeng got up. When he woke up, he first looked at his watch, then looked up at the window, and sat up from the bed with a "bang", a little unable to believe the beautiful reality in front of him.
Bright sunlight pours through the window paper, casting shadows on the floor in intricate carved patterns. Outside the window, two birds were standing on the windowsill chirping, making everything seem so quiet and beautiful.
Everything in this room was so normal, as if nothing had really happened since he lay down last night.
Xia Beifeng sat on the bed in confusion for a while, suddenly raised a hand to cover his eyes, shook his head with great regret, and sighed.
"If I had known this, I should have slept well last night!" He lamented his mistake in judgment, and rubbed his temples that were jumping and jumping because he hadn't slept well before turning over and getting out of bed.
I don't know if the people in this house, or whether they are people or not, need to have breakfast. In short, after he was bored and carefully folded the quilt on the bed into an angular tofu block, then disassembled, re-folded, and disassembled, back and forth several times, no one came to ask him to eat.
After playing for a while, Xia Beifeng finally let go of the poor quilt and turned to find other fun. He pulled the bronze mirror out of the drawer. First shook it vigorously a few times, and then shouted a few words loudly at the mirror like a nervous disorder, and tried all kinds of tricks, but I didn't see the ghost Taoist priest last night come out to speak.
Even the stack of envelopes that had been placed on the table last night was gone.
If it weren't for the faint pain in the wound on his shoulder, Xia Beifeng would almost have thought that everything last night was a dream.
He looked at the time again, and it was already past eleven o'clock.
He packed up his things, pulled out a bag of biscuits from his backpack, then put his bag and picture clip on his back, and opened the door to his room with a biscuit in his mouth.
An old white lady sat on the low steps at the door of his room, looking up and squinting in the sun.
Xia Beifeng: "......"
I don't know why he always felt that the old lady looked even more difficult than last night.
He quickly chewed the biscuit in his mouth twice and swallowed it hard. As a result, he almost choked, patted his chest, and it took a lot of effort to get through.
When the old lady heard the sound of the door opening, she slowly turned her head, tilted her head tremblingly left and right to look at Xia Beifeng, who was breathing, for a while, and then asked in confusion: "Who are you?" ”
"I'm Xia Beifeng." Xia Beifeng squatted down, looked at the old lady's cloudy eyes, and said to her with a smile: "We just met yesterday, have you forgotten?" ”
"There is no north wind in the summer." The old lady said to Xia Beifeng seriously: "You kid, why are you stupid at a young age?" ”
Xia Beifeng was once again speechless.
The old lady looked at Xia Beifeng for a while, then focused her eyes on the biscuit bag in his hand, and swallowed her saliva with a "bang".
Xia Beifeng immediately offered the biscuits with both hands.
"Oops, that's embarrassing." The old lady immediately waved her hand at Xia Beifeng, and kept saying, "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry......"
"It's okay, you can take it." Xia Beifeng rummaged through the bag, found a bag of biscuits from it, and shook it in front of the old lady's eyes, "Look, I still have it." ”
The old lady hesitated for a while before reaching out to take the biscuits handed to him by Xia Beifeng, pursed her lips and seemed to smile a little shyly at him, and immediately grabbed two biscuits and sent them to her mouth.
"Ah...... You eat slowly, this thing is easy to choke......" Xia Beifeng nervously watched the old lady gobbling up biscuits, for fear that she would choke herself by accident, and found that she was a little out of breath, so she immediately opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it over.
Joke! An old lady of such an age, if she chokes, she may choke to death, and then it will be a big trouble.
Fortunately, although the old lady ate quickly, nothing happened to her. It took her a few minutes to finish a bag of biscuits, and she drank up a whole bottle of mineral water from Xia Beifeng, and finally burped with satisfaction, and looked at Xia Beifeng with a smile.
Xia Beifeng, who was watching the whole process from the side, was scared into several layers of cold sweat in these few minutes.
"Child, you are so good at eating, and you give food to the old thing that is dying." The old lady grabbed Xia Beifeng's hand with her old age spotted hand, and shook it up and down vigorously, "Those few uncompetitive little beasts in my family are not as kind as you, they don't even give me food, they don't let me enter the house, and they don't let ...... in winter."
As she spoke, the old lady suddenly remembered something, and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Hey, I'm old, my eyes are spent." The old lady smiled with a wrinkled face, covered up a sentence, and asked Xia Beifeng, "Child, what's your name?" ”
Xia Beifeng's eyes flashed, and he suddenly changed his usual style, stood up and nodded to the old lady with a very reserved smile, and said to her slowly: This old man is thinking about it. I'm here to find a Miss Jiang Yunshan, is she at home? ”
He did that very well in this action, and the temperament he tried to disguise made him look like a dog-like scumbag.
We generally call people with this temperament -- pretending to be criminals.
The old lady was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then opened her eyes in surprise and looked at Xia Beifeng seriously for a long time before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"You kid, you don't talk nonsense." The old lady took Xia Beifeng's hand and gently dragged him.
Xia Beifeng immediately squatted down and continued to maintain the expression on his face, not showing any weakness in his heart, as if he was really the person whose name was Shen Nian.
"I remember, you were the one who came to Guo Dao yesterday." The old lady squinted her eyes and smiled, looking a little kind, she reached out and touched Xia Beifeng's head, and said to him gently: "Didn't I tell you yesterday, there is no one named Guo Dao here, why are you here again?" ”
"You recognize the wrong person, I'm Shen Nian." Xia Beifeng replied calmly, "I'm not here to find Guo Dao, I'm here to find Miss Yun Shan, do you remember me?" ”
"You're talking nonsense!" The old lady seemed to be a little anxious, and shouted loudly at Xia Beifeng: "Mr. Shen's eyes are not as big as yours?" And Mr. Shen is a serious person, so he doesn't look at so many fancy intestines as you. ”
When Xia Beifeng heard this, he felt that he couldn't fool the old lady, so he looked depressed and sighed.
Blame me for my big eyes?
He was born with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and he usually smiles at the opposite sex, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows have a bit of a romantic taste. In addition, he didn't look bad, he was tall and long-legged, with strong muscles, and he had been running around for many years, and he still looked a little vicissitudes of temperament. And he is very good at coaxing people with clever words, and he has a little money in his hand, so he can often attract all kinds of women around him.
It's just that I didn't expect that in front of this old lady, he didn't care about any little tricks, but instead became a flaw for him to pretend to be someone else.
"I actually went for plastic surgery some time ago and got a European-style double eyelid." Xia Beifeng looked at the old lady again, trying to die, "Take a closer look, I'm really Shen Nian." ”
"Don't talk nonsense here." The old lady gently slapped Xia Beifeng on the shoulder, and taught him with a straight face: "Mr. Shen is a scholar, and he is very tall, so he won't be as oily and talkative as you." ”
If you think too much, it's not a good thing.
Xia Beifeng squinted and looked up at the sun directly above, reluctantly tore open the biscuit bag, and began to eat his breakfast at noon.
The old lady watched Xia Beifeng eat with concern, and smiled softly as she watched, just like an ordinary old man looking at his naughty grandson.
Xia Beifeng finished eating a bag of biscuits and drank a few sips of water before turning his head to look at the old lady and said to her, "Old man, I have something I want to ask you." ”
"It's about Shen Nian and Jiang Yunshan."
