Chapter 262: Lord of the Land 4
It was one night two days later, and my grandfather looked at the moon in the water next to the pond where the weak king was imprisoned, and it seemed as if the pond was transparent, and there was an illusion that there was no bottom under the water but there was another sky.
Grandpa watched it for a while, and couldn't help but worry that the weak king would escape from below, escape to that world, and then come back inadvertently.
Grandpa stood by the pond for a while, and suddenly he saw that there was another person beside him. Daddy didn't know when that person came to him, and that person was as soft as a shadow cast by the moonlight on the ground.
Grandpa looked sideways and was stunned!
When the man saw that his grandfather saw her, he smiled generously.
"Zhao Xianyun?" Daddy opened his mouth, and his Adam's apple rolled.
Zhao Xianyun nodded, and everyone's beautiful demeanor was maintained just right. But her eyes showed longing.
"You...... Is it really you? Daddy couldn't believe it.
The father-in-law knew that Zhao Xianyun's coffin was empty, but he didn't know where Zhao Xianyun had gone; The people of Thrush Village thought that Zhao Xianyun had been buried in the ground. Among the people in Thrush Village, only Grandpa knew where Zhao Xianyun had gone.
In fact, before Zhao Xianyun's funeral ended, his father asked Zifei to take Zhao Xianyun away from Thrush Village.
That funeral was held for others to see, so that others thought that Zhao Xianyun had really passed away.
The reason why this is done is to facilitate the next step of grandpa's continuation of the string, so as to promote "grafting". This plan was decided after the complicity of Grandpa and Zifei. There is no way to do it. If it doesn't create the illusion that Zhao Xianyun is dead, grandpa can't continue the string. Even if you marry a little wife or concubine, others will point fingers behind your back, make irresponsible remarks, and accuse your grandfather of continuing to take a concubine when the original partner is still seriously ill. If the people of Zhao Xianyun's mother's family learned of this news, they would probably also send someone to interfere.
Therefore, in fact, Zhao Xianyun was taken away by Zifei when he was dying. As for where she took the quilt, her father didn't know. But he believes that Zifei will find a good place for Zhao Xianyun.
Before marrying Sister Hua Shang Ruoran into the door, her father had a showdown with Shang Ruoran.
Grandpa told Shang Ruoran that he was willing to marry her only because she could guarantee that Zhao Xianyun would be safe and sound after she entered the door, and if she didn't accept it, he wouldn't force her.
Shang Ruoran cried and laughed after hearing this. But in the end, she agreed to her father. She said that she was Sister Hua's life anyway, and she originally had no marriage, but now that she has a marriage sent to the door, how can she have the right to refuse? Moreover, the person who wants to marry her is the one she has always hoped to marry.
Grandpa guiltily told her that he knew it was unfair to her, but his feelings for Zhao Xianyun were as solid as a rock and could not be changed. But he couldn't deceive Shang Ruoran and kept her in the dark, which was not fair to her.
Shang Ruoran nodded.
So when Shang Ruoran went out after talking to her father that day, someone saw tears on her face, but she smiled. The pit has a double skill.
Since Shang Ruoran entered the door, her father has been thinking about Zhao Xianyun, who is missing, and I don't know if she has successfully extended her life because of "moving flowers and trees", or if she is still sick and died.
Zifei has never come back since he left. Grandpa had no way of knowing Zhao Xianyun's current situation.
Before Zifei left, he told his father that even if Zhao Xianyun survived, she could no longer live with her father, and her father could not go to her, otherwise, the "flower grafting" would lose its effect.
Therefore, my grandfather also tried his best not to pursue Zhao Xianyun's whereabouts, so as not to destroy the "transfer of flowers and trees" that was formed with great difficulty.
He didn't expect Zhao Xianyun to find Thrush Village instead.
For a while, Grandpa thought he was hallucinating.
"It's me, it's really me ∮ I told me everything." Zhao Xianyun's smile rippled on his face, like the surface of the water in a pond wrinkled by the wind.
Grandpa took a step forward, but hesitated∮ Fei had reminded him before that once the "flower grafting" was successful, he would not touch Zhao Xianyun. Not only does he have to give others the illusion that Zhao Xianyun is dead, but he also has to treat Zhao Xianyun as a person who is really dead, otherwise everything he has done before will be wasted. This is the same as the fact that a clear-eyed person cannot tell fortunes, but a blind man can. Although the blind and the clear-eyed fortune-telling are both leaking the heavenly secrets, the blind "can't see" the consequences of leaking the heavenly secrets. In fact, the blind man knows it in his heart, but he also pretends not to know.
Sure enough, Zhao Xianyun saw her grandfather moving forward, but she took a step back.
"Don't come again. Otherwise, everything you have done before has been in vain. I'm not afraid of dying, but now that you have married Sister Hua into the door, you have to think about her. If the grafting fails, not only will I die, but the 'flower' without the 'wood' will also wither. Before I came here, Zifei told me so. Zhao Xianyun still barely smiled.
Grandpa had already guessed that since Zhao Xianyun came here, he must have bargained with Zifei∮ Fei definitely didn't want Zhao Xianyun to return to Thrush Village, which was too risky. And Zhao Xianyun is definitely going to come to Thrush Village. So, Zifei and Zhao Xianyun each made a step∮ Fei agreed with her to come back, but asked her to promise to be separated from her grandfather for a certain distance. That distance cannot be crossed like the separation of life and death. And Zhao Xianyun will definitely agree to him, so as to get the opportunity to come back and take a look.
Grandpa is very familiar with the personalities of Zifei and Zhao Xianyun, and if you guess casually, you will know the cause and effect between them.
Zhao Xianyun said again: "Zifei said, come here once, even if it is a return to the soul after death." He told me to look at it quietly like a ghost, and then walk away quietly. ”
Grandpa nodded∮ it made sense. The real deceased will come back to take a look at it on the night, but the living relatives don't know when the deceased came and where they have seen.
"I looked at the front and back of the village, the front and back of our houses. I wanted to leave after reading it, and no one bothered. But when I saw you standing by this pond, I couldn't help but come over. I wanted to stand with you for a while and leave, but I feel like I can't walk......" Zhao Xianyun sighed lightly.
Grandpa also sighed softly. He imagined Zhao Xianyun wandering around the village like a soul, and he couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his heart.
Zhao Xianyun said softly: "I used to hear the words 'life and death', but this time I really realized it. You said...... Is it better to live and leave, or to die? If they are separated, both of them are still alive, but they can't see each other. What's the point of living like this? If you die, it looks like the two of you won't be together, but it seems to be better than being separated from each other......"
Grandpa was just about to speak, but Zhao Xianyun raised his hand to stop him and said, "I don't mean anything else." I'm grateful that you'd rather marry someone you don't like than let me live. At least...... At the very least, I am still a very important person to you. It's more important to me than my life. ”
Grandpa remembered what Xiaomi said to him after hearing him talk to Zifei. Although Zhao Xianyun may not be willing to accept such a result even if he survives, doing this thing has an irreplaceable role. The question is not what the consequences will be, but whether it is done or not.
"You've always been important. It's a pity that I didn't do anything for you before, and this time I did everything I could. But this is what it did this time. What you said about life and death, I have experienced too much in my life. I think that as long as the two people are really still there, life is better than death. After all, if you are born, there is at least one concern in this world; If she dies, she will disappear from the other party in the fog, not only will she be worried, but she will not know where she is. Daddy said.
Zhao Xianyun listened quietly.
"However, if the mind is absent, it is better to die than to live. Mourning is greater than the heart is dead, the heart is dead, and being alive is also a walking corpse, it is better to be clean than dead. ”
Zhao Xianyun took a deep breath and understood the meaning of his father's words.
"Is Xiaomi okay?" Zhao Xianyun asked.
Grandpa knew that sooner or later she would ask such a question.
"Not so good...... Her soul followed Mr. Bai back, but he didn't know where he went. Daddy said.
Zhao Xianyun raised his eyes to look at his father, his eyes shining on him like moonlight.
"I was told that if I didn't get her back, she would be in a terrible situation. Just look at me. But if she finds it back, now that she is still in our house again, she is very angry, evil and good, I don't know what her spirit will do. Grandpa said worriedly.
"Are you worried that she won't be able to tolerate Sister Hua?" Zhao Xianyun asked.
Grandpa closed his eyes and nodded, and said, "Yes...... Ah......h
"So what are you going to do? To find her spirit or not? Zhao Xianyun asked.
Grandpa replied, "I must be looking for it." ”
"If you find it, what do you do?"
"I haven't figured it out yet. My own spirit made it impossible for me. How can I be sure of her courage? A person's biggest opponent is still herself, and I'm afraid that after finding it, she can only look at herself. Daddy said.
Zhao Xianyun said: "In my opinion, you must not only pay attention to Xiaomi, but also pay attention to Sister Hua." ”
"Oh? Why? Before I married her, I had already told her what I really thought and let her make her own choice. ”
Zhao Xianyun shook his head lightly and said, "Her thoughts about you can be seen by others." As long as there is a chance to marry you, how can she let it go? Now it's what she wants. But people's selfishness will not be satisfied with this, they have to look forward to Shu, they have to make progress, and the more they have, the more they hope to get. Although it is said that 'contentment is always happy', there are very few people who can do it. ”
