Chapter 55: If Life Is Only as First Seen
After Chai Rong left, Wang Zhi entered the inner room and took out a yellow wooden box, and when he opened it, what was placed inside was the notes that Wang Xuan gave to the woman.
Suddenly, thousands of thoughts surged in his heart, and the past surfaced one by one, as if it happened yesterday, but he couldn't tell what it was like.
"This, is she okay?" Wang Xuan's voice was a little floating.
What should come will come after all, Wang Zhi stubbornly said: "On the third day after Your Majesty left, the Semu people, according to the guidance of the locals, found the bank of the small river, killed the male host, and kidnapped their brothers and sisters to the south. After the great white shark pursued, the woman saw that she could not do anything and resolutely killed herself. ”
Wang Xuan, who had just taken the note, was stunned, his fingers suddenly lost strength, and the notebook fell on the table, knocking over an empty canned bottle, and falling to the ground and shattering.
"The minister forgot His Majesty's entrustment, and sent someone to pick up the girl's family two days late, who would have thought...... The minister is guilty...... Wang Zhi confessed his guilt very calmly and was very frank.
"The minister is also guilty, at that time, he only cared about preparing for defense and evacuation, and left His Majesty's instructions behind, and the minister was willing to accept the guilt. Liu Liu also pleaded guilty.
As a result, the festive scene of escaping death and turning defeat into victory turned into a drama of self-pleasing, which was dramatic enough.
Wang Xuan looked at the two of them for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Who led the team at the beginning?"
"Liu Zhi. The two said in unison.
"I want to see him. ”
After a while, Liu Zhi came with the team members who participated in the rescue together.
After seeing the booklet in Wang Xuan's hand, he affirmed the thoughts in his heart, and his heart was calm.
"I've seen Your Majesty, ...... Sin"
"Okay, you can describe the scene of the rescue in the first place, the more detailed the better. ”
Liu Zhi had already thought about it in his heart before he came, and at this time, Chengzhu was in his chest, so he started from the time he received the order, to the time he found that the two were captive, pursued and ambushed him, and finally approached the girl after paying a heavy price.
He also said that the girl was a wise man, who understood that nothing could be done, and did not want to see the great white shark continue to die in vain, nor did she want to be humiliated subsequently, so she resolutely stabbed her neck to death.
Liu Zhi said it more clearly than Wang Zhi, and the details of the process were depicted very appropriately, and Wang Xuan's mind had restored eighty percent of the images like a movie.
At this time, how can you still find the shadow of sadness in him, some are just anger, murderous anger.
At this time, Liu Zhi continued: "Before the woman left, she dragged the minister to bring a message to Your Majesty. ”
Wang Xuan turned his head suddenly, staring at Liu Zhi with his eyes.
Liu Zhi was taken aback and said hurriedly: "She said, 'Meeting Your Majesty is the greatest luck in her life, if there is an afterlife, she is still waiting for Your Majesty here'." ”
Although Wang Zhi and Liu Liu have heard this countless times, every time they hear it, they sigh that this woman has noble feelings and must be a good wife and mother, but it is a pity that she was born at the wrong time.
It was as if her voice was in her ears, "Meeting you is the greatest luck in my life, if there is an afterlife, I am still waiting for you here!"
"In the next life, I was still me at that time, and you are still you?"
Wang Xuan was dumbfounded and muttered to himself, and while his anger was restrained, he was more infatuated.
After a long time, Wang Xuancai got up leisurely and asked Liu Zhidao, whose legs were numb, "Where is she buried?"
Liu Zhi is not easy to answer, and he is even more reluctant to answer.
But now I had to answer, so I had to say carelessly: "According to the captive Semu man, the girl's body was carried into the barracks, and after a while, she was thrown out naked, with blood stains hidden on her lower body, and then ...... Then the corpse was thrown into the wilderness, and the minister went to search for it many times after that, but found nothing. ”
"Hehe, hehehehe......"
The laughter that couldn't hear the emotion made everyone's scalp tingle, and Yang Tao was even more worried, this phenomenon has happened a few times recently, and it is by no means a good sign.
"If the heavens have mercy on me, why did they give me an opportunity, and then cruelly destroy it? If the heavens abandon me, why should I be turned into good fortune again and again, and triumph all the way? Are you satisfied if I am only worthy of being a humanoid puppet without emotion?"
The voice was lingering, and it didn't disperse for a long time, Liu Zhi understood, and Wang Zhi also understood.
Sometimes Liu Zhi envies those who have three wives and four concubines, who can enjoy the blessings of the world, how leisurely, but sometimes he admires those ordinary families like him, the husband and wife are close to each other, help each other to move forward, can share weal and woe, and never give up.
His Majesty the King is the object of his envy, he and Concubine Shu's childhood sweetheart, now respect each other like guests, harmonious and harmonious, although the two of them do not feel how the true feelings, but at least His Majesty the King has fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband, loves her well, takes good care of her, and has never been out of trouble.
It wasn't until he came to the Southern Continent and met the girl that Liu Zhi knew that the relationship between His Majesty and her was called love, and the relationship between him and Concubine Shu was called love.
It is His Majesty's responsibility and obligation to take care of Concubine Shu, and the pure love between him and the girl is a kind of sustenance on the spiritual level, a kind of lovesickness, or dependence, and they have not even held hands from beginning to end, which is what Liu Zhi admires the most.
The body and the soul, the body and the spirit, it is a great blessing to have one of the two.
His Majesty met this woman, although the two are not one in the emotional world, but they are perfect, but God seems to be jealous, hateful, and prejudiced against him, so he forcibly cut off this pure relationship, how can His Majesty be willing.
"You guys are busy, Liu Zhi and I will go to the riverside for a walk. ”
What are the two big men going to walk by the river? Naturally, they are looking at things and thinking about people.
So Yang Tao took the internal guards and took a small boat to the opposite bank, and the vipers moved and scattered to the southwest, and the security went first.
Wang Xuan's courtyard was dilapidated, the courtyard was empty, and the house was covered with a thin layer of dust, and there was no trace of stepping on it.
came to the yard on the other side of the river, which was overgrown with weeds, and wild flowers were in full bloom, and the butterflies and bees who picked flowers chased each other and frolicked, just not leaving the range of the yard, which made Wang Xuan think of Liang Zhu.
"Your Majesty, the note was found in a secret compartment under this bedboard. Liu Zhi pointed to the dilapidated wooden bed, which his subordinates told him.
The room remained in the same mess as it had been, and according to the position and posture of these objects, Wang Xuan could even imagine that a group of lustful people rudely broke in, subdued the struggling girl, and dragged them out of the room. During the period, it hit the furnishings and did not count, causing debris to be all over the ground. Subsequently, a second wave of searchers entered the house and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find valuable objects and evidence, and by the way, they swept away the rare items he had sent, leaving only the present scene for him to recall and humiliate.
Pick up the toppled wooden chair, carefully wipe off the dust from the chair with your sleeve, and sit down at the dressing table. Then, Wang Xuan took out the notebook soaked in vegetable juice from his arms and slowly flipped through it.
The indigenous characters that catch the eye are not pretty, but they are very neat.
"This is a gift from that auspicious man, and I wonder how there can be such a beautiful thing in the world, and I regret it after writing the first word. ”
"I knew he wasn't an ordinary person, I knew it when I left my house. As soon as the new home was settled, my brother was in a hurry to open up the wasteland and farm, and there was not much surplus food at home. ”
"The man named Wang Xuan sent many objects one after another, all of them beautiful, and we have never seen them. I don't know what it means in auspiciousness, but here a man gives a woman a rare thing, and if the woman takes it, it means that she has taken a liking to him. ”
"He has a guy called a 'translator' who understands us, so sometimes he relies on him to help us communicate. Wang Xuanren is very good, sunny and charming, he doesn't have a strong body, a capable body, but he just gives people a very manly feeling, and I am fascinated by it. ”
"August 10 was a good day.
I heard the translator say that the diary must have a date and weather to be complete, and it can only be seated in the future when it is recalled, so it will be added from today.
In the evening he came again, carrying two fish, and the food he cooked was so delicious, that my father ate an extra bowl of rice, which was rare.
After dinner, we went for a walk by the stream, it was a little late, the wind was a little cold, I thought he would take me back to the courtyard opposite, but it turned out to be a coat for me and sent me back, it was the most pleasant night I ever had. Even though it was just him, and I just listened quietly. ”
Seeing this, Wang Xuan remembered the scene at that time, only he talked to himself, and the girl only listened quietly, without the slightest impatience, which was very rare.
Then look down, and that's what comes next.
"On the tenth day of September, I suddenly realized that I knew how to say auspicious words, and the translation summarized it very well, found out the similarities and differences between the two languages, analyzed and explained, so that it was much faster to learn, he was really a language genius. ”
Wang Xuan glanced at Liu Zhi with some differences, this product still has this ability?
Sure enough, since the eleventh, the diary has been a combination of auspicious and indigenous, and she will use auspicious if she knows it, and if she can't, she will use indigenous.
"At the end of the month, he never asked my name, and thought I didn't understand auspicious words, and now I can write some auspicious words, otherwise how will the two of them live together in the future. In fact, I know what he said, and even I can understand what he said during the walk by the stream that night, and I know that it is not easy for him, otherwise how can he govern a country well. ”
Wang Xuan was dumbfounded for a while, the more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive people, it really makes sense.
"My name is Xiaoya, you know?"
Wang Xuan instantly felt sad in his heart, and he was a little difficult to control, "Xiaoya, Xiaoya, now I know!"
Wang Xuan regretted it, why did he have to be so stubborn at the beginning, and he had to learn the indigenous dialect before he asked in person, what does it matter if he is translated by Liu Zhi?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Liu Zhi again.
'Dead dead, is Your Majesty hinting at me something, what should I do?'
Seeing through the place of life and death, Liu Zhi is not calm, Wang Xuan is like a sharp sword hanging over his head, which will be cut down at any time, this feeling makes him shudder, and always gives him a premonition that he will be executed at any time. 'The old saying is true, the arrow that is not shot is the most threatening arrow, how long will I have to suffer this kind of mental torture?'
"October 3rd, fine.
Dad asked me, why didn't he mention his relatives, it would make people laugh if he dragged it like this.
I can't answer, I just want to just look at him quietly, watch him smile, watch him concentrate on cooking, and watch him look sunny and free...... Everything about him intoxicated me, like a dream auspicious, drunk just by smelling it. ”
'I don't have to smell it, I'm already drunk just looking at you.' Wang Xuan added in his heart.
"It was almost the middle of the month, and I had not seen him for many days, and something must have happened to him that prevented him from getting out. I'm going to confess to him when I see him again, I'm going to start a family with him, have some children, plant a few ridges of greens, and raise some rabbits. In the morning, he walked on the dew to carry water, chop wood, cook, and then work freely in the fields, resting when he was tired, sleeping when he was sleepy, and returning home in the evening dressed in the sunset, eating the food he made, walking by the stream, and sharing peace. ”
Seeing this, Wang Xuan's emotions had already risen, and his eyes were hazy, this was the life he wanted to live, and it was all he wanted.
"I dreamed again, but when I woke up he was not with me, I had a premonition, but I couldn't tell him, so I hid my diary in a secret compartment under the bed, which was how he taught me, and said that this was how he escaped his naughty sister's search......"
The deadline for the diary is October 17, and there are only four auspicious words: "I miss you!"
The whole diary is very small and thin, but Wang Xuan has been reading it for a long time and is very heavy, "I miss you too, I have never been so anxious to think, how good it would be if life was only as it was when I first saw it...... Things are not people, things are people. ”
Looking around, Wang Xuan muttered this somewhat sad sentence.
He was indeed very sad, and if he had been a little more anxious and direct like other men, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.
He never blamed Liu Liu and Wang Zhi, never.
He likes to come to the Southern Continent because he can live the life he wants here, and unlike in Jixiang, it will give people a sense of rebellion, immaturity and instability, especially the cabinet and military who are familiar with him.
It is impossible for him to explain to Liu Liu and Wang Zhi not to take it to heart, in other words, Xiaoya should not be damned, why did the rescue team set off two days late?
There is no need to delve into it, save some face for each other, and see each other in the future, this is the significant difference between auspiciousness and life in the Southern Continent, the difference between rules and rules.
After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Xuan ordered people to guard here, and from tomorrow he will clean up according to his memory, and the people are gone, and they can't be called imprints.
