231. The distance of turning
Approaching his eyes, "What are you doing behind my back?" ”
I tried to see any clues from those eyes, but I think my Taoism is really not enough, and it can be said that this man I have grown up from a teenager has been deeply incomprehensible to me. I can't keep up with his rapidly changing thinking, and I can't figure out his motives for acting, and I can't even analyze whether he still sincerely admires Zhu Di.
It is said that the most unpredictable thing in the world is the emperor's heart, Ah Ping already has an imperial appearance, so he is bound to be farther and farther away from me.
Feeling the strength between his fingers loosen, I pulled the corners of my mouth and let the sarcasm come into full bloom before pulling out my feet and striding forward. I didn't walk away in a bad mood, but walked into the courtyard and lay down in the chaise longue, staggering to see the blue sky overhead.
The courtyard is not deep, the blue sky is not covered, but my heart is covered with a layer of fog.
The footsteps behind him approached, and there was no need to look back to know that he had gotten up from the ground by himself, and came over in a daze. He didn't speak, he sat cross-legged on the floor beside my chaise longue, and then stood still as if an old monk had been in a steady.
When Yan Qi came in, the two of us had this weird atmosphere, he looked at me and then at Ah Ping, and still said to me: "Master, you can eat after you have washed up." ”
Oh, annoyed by someone, I forgot to wash up.
I didn't say anything yet, but I didn't expect the people around me: "Don't eat first, I don't have an appetite." ”
Yan Qi was also stunned, and only said after a while: "Childe, I'm talking to her, not to you." ”
He replied, "I will answer you on her behalf." ”
I was not happy when I heard this: "Who wants you to speak for me?" I'm going to eat, I'm going to rinse my mouth and eat now. It wasn't until I rinsed my mouth that Pan Ran woke up that he had put on Ah Ping's set, but he still freshened up and walked into the stove room, and saw a bowl of somen noodles on the table, and he stood on the side of the door, like a gatekeeper.
I walked past him and took a bowl of noodles and ate the noodles, saying that Yan Qi's cooking skills had regressed, and this noodles were too lightly cooked.
When he finished eating, he was heard by the door asking, "Is it delicious?" ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and I was ready to get out of here. But he was kept by his words: "I have already sent someone to find your brother." When I raised my eyes to look at him, he said, "Your father's tomb has also been repaired, and it turns out that Aunt Qing's room is dedicated to the spiritual seat of the second elder." ”
After he mentioned it, I remembered that I was in a trance because I suddenly heard the bad news, and I didn't even go to worship the grave of my father and aunt. I only said after a moment of silence about his arrangement: "You should do this." ”
Regardless of his status or not, he is the son-in-law of Daddy and Auntie, and these future affairs should be arranged by him.
But having said that, I still walked towards the depths of the back room, and when I saw Yan Qi coming out of it, he said to Ah Ping, "It's all done." I walked around him and walked in, and as soon as I stepped in, I saw that there was an offering table in the middle of the table, and the tablets of Daddy and Auntie were erected there, and a Changming incense was lit in front of me.
I haven't officially faced them since I brought them back. At this time, he smelled the fragrance in his nose, and suddenly he was sad, and he knelt down in front of him after taking two steps forward, and then bowed to the ground and bowed his head for a long time.
I still remember the sad face of my mother when I went back to my parents' house that day, and I also remember the back of my father who was busy in the courtyard, and the most painful thing for me was Xiaotong.
I watched that child grow up, and I also took care of it with my own hands, how many times I carried him to find Langzhong, and how many times I stayed in front of his bed. But now that he is nowhere to be found, I feel so guilty that I feel a dull pain in my heart when I think about it.
vowed to spend all your life to find Xiaotong, even if it was ...... Yellow bones underground, I'm going to bring him back too. Otherwise, how can you let your parents rest in peace under the Nine Springs?
It took me a long time before I slowly got up, and there was a sweet smell of blood in my mouth, caused by biting my lip just now.
When I turned around, I saw the man leaning against the wall of the door, and there was no sympathy or pity in his eyes, but he just stared at me. This touched my heart, because sympathy made me look pitiful, and pity made him seem too hypocritical, why did he go earlier?
So at least I was not disgusted with Ah Ping's attitude at the moment, and when I walked past him without squinting, he asked, "Do you want to go to the grave of the second elder?" "This guy always poked at my weaknesses and he knew what I cared about.
Back to Batou Village, it was still a carriage, but it was replaced by a luxurious one, and there was one more person in the car. The two sat at a distance and didn't speak to each other, but the space was so big that the clear breath could always get into the nose.
The road from Ginkgo Village to Batou Village is actually a small road, and you don't feel anything when you walk on foot, but you will feel very uneven when you have to walk the carriage. When he went before, he was bumped, and Yan Qi deliberately chose a good way to catch up to be stable, but the people who drove the car today didn't care about the people sitting in the car at all, and the speed of the car was so fast that it could shake people up a few times. I clung to the window frame of the carriage to avoid being thrown off my seat, but I almost fell there several times.
I only heard the shouting of the car outside the car: "Childe is sitting firm." As soon as the words fell, my ass flew up from my seat, and before I could react, I felt my breath suddenly approach, and at the same time, Ah Ping bumped into me.
Raised his head in anger, but in the next moment, the world was turned upside down, and the whole company turned over with the car. The moment he hit the ground, Ah Ping flipped down so fast that I fell on top of him, and he snorted.
There was a silence after the loud bang, and then I heard a shout outside the carriage: "Childe, how are you?" ”
There was not only one chariot guard who accompanied him, but several of them followed on horseback, including Yan Qi. A group of people rescued the two of us from the turned carriage, and Yan Qi asked angrily, "How did you drive?" ”
"I thought the horse could jump over the big pit in front of me, but who would have thought that the horse's hooves would go out and turn back."
Yan Qiyi glared: "Knowing that it is a big pit, won't you go around from the side?" I have to go up from the pit. ”
"It's not ...... Childe to order"
Halfway through the words, Ah Ping was swept away coldly, and the other party immediately shut up and didn't dare to say more. I understood a little, and couldn't help sneering, and got a glance back from Ah Ping, who was clear and innocent in the light, and reprimanded him with two words: "Childish!" Then he turned and walked aside, waiting for them to bring the carriage right.
Ah Ping didn't have to do anything, he also came to my side, and without looking at me, he looked at the carriage where a few people were dumping, and said in a low voice: "You don't want to pay attention to me, I can only think of this way." ”
This person's thick skin has always been like this, this is still in front of outsiders, and he has no skin and no face in private. But this time he didn't use this kind of nonsense, because he knew that even this way would not help, and if he owed, he owed it, and no matter how he was, he couldn't make up for the heartache at that time.
Seeing that I was silent, he was silent, and when the carriage was righted, he walked forward, only to find that I had stopped where I was. Turning his head to look at me suspiciously, he smiled at him and said, "I'd better ride a horse, so as not to overturn later." ”
I was not familiar with others, so I requisitioned Yan Qi's black horse, and when I turned over and got on the horse, I looked around, "Can I go?" ”
In the end, Yan Qi glanced at me sadly before getting into the carriage sullenly, but Ah Ping was still standing in place, and everyone was waiting for him. After a while, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, raised his feet and walked in front of my horse, and then looked up slightly and said: "It is said that husband and wife should share weal and woe, since you ride a horse, I will accompany you, this saddle is very generous, and it is not a problem to sit on two people." ”
I felt wrong when I listened to his words, and when my eyes finally widened and widened, I was about to say no, but I saw him kick up, turn over and sit behind me with a definite movement, and also very "naturally" circle my waist.
Annoyed, I immediately went to pull his hand, but he clasped his hands so tightly that I couldn't break it, and finally I could only scold: "You go down for me!" He replied to me, "Either we can ride a horse together, or we can ride in a carriage together, choose one of the two." ”
To choose one of his two options, I directly gave him an elbow, and listened to his muffled snort in pain before gritting his teeth and pronouncing his name: "Zhu Yunwen!" Thinking that his silence behind him was a loss, but after a pause, he suddenly said: "You haven't called me Ah Ping since you saw me." ”
I was so angry that I didn't want to say a word again, but I felt unwilling, and said to him ruthlessly: "From now on, I won't call that name, even call you Zhu Yunwen by name and surname!" ”
"It's okay, you're the only one who calls me by name and surname."
This time I was really angry, and I was scolded by him one after another until I had nothing to say. When he followed the team, his mind was uncontrollably flipping what he had just said, as if it was all the name Zhu Yunwen who really laughed or roared at me when I saw him, and Ah Ping just said it in his heart; It seems that there is really no one who will call him by name and surname, from Zhu Yuanzhang to Concubine Lu to Zhu Di and other uncles, they all either call him Ping'er or call him Yan'er, and the courtiers and guards below only dare to call him His Royal Highness or Gongzi, and when I count them carefully, I am really the only one who calls Zhu Yunwen at him.
On closer inspection, it was a little realised, that he was deliberately distracting me with these bickering, and also trying to erase the chasm I had drawn in front of him.
"Childe, it's here."
The reminder of others interrupted my meditation, and when I raised my eyes, I saw two lonely graves standing not far away, my nose was sore, and uncomfortable feelings came one after another. I always think that I can divide my emotions very clearly, that is when the matter is not over, and I really know that there is a kind of sadness that cannot be suppressed, for example, I think it is just the distance to turn around, and then I look back but I have separated the two worlds of yin and yang.
