The yellow flowers withered

Soon, a bonfire was lit in the main hall, and the game was roasted on the fire. This dilapidated mountain temple with its broken incense burned is in the middle of nowhere, far from the city, not far from the weeds and forests, and it is not difficult to get pheasants and hares, and besides, they are darts, and they live a life of licking blood with knives, all of them are good hands, for them, this kind of thing is very easy.

At that time, the sunset faded and night fell. Although there was a bonfire in the main hall, it was still dimly lit a few feet away, after all, it was night. Yue Rushan just sat in front of the fire, and after a slight glance, he found Yin Shi standing aside. After just one glance, I felt something strange in my heart. The reason why this is called strange is because it is something special, not the strangeness of the first meeting, but the familiar smell generated by the first meeting, as if we have known each other many years ago, and when we see it again, I feel a little bit of long-lost cordiality in my heart.

He looked carefully, and saw that the other party's appearance was very similar to a familiar person, who was it like, and there was just a vague shadow in his heart, and it was shattered like a lens that fell to the ground, but he failed to leave any image in his trance. He frowned unconsciously and said, "What is the name of this little brother?"

Yin Shi hugged his fists: "If you go back to your predecessors, the younger generation's surname is Yin, and your single name is a real word." When he spoke, everyone was silent. Because they knew what was going to happen next, and they knew it in advance, from the moment they knew it. Yue Longcheng stared at his father, his eyes unpredictable.

Yue Rushan's brows furrowed, and he muttered: "The surname is Yin?" Yin Shi said: "Yes, the junior is from Qinglong Villa. His tone was very flat and unfazed, but Yue Rushan's ears were like a thunderbolt flashing in his mind, and he almost jumped up in shock. He suddenly looked up at Yin Shi, at this moment he knew who this young man was like, like Yin Yuniang, and maybe a little like him Yue Rushan himself. The four words of Qinglong Villa are like a * buried in the bottom of the heart, no one mentions it, it seems to be just something that has never happened, occasionally in the dead of night, it will also be remembered terribly, at that moment, it exploded in the heart, and the past scenes clearly floated to the heart, but on weekdays, it can only be sealed in the bottom of the heart. It's not that I don't want to mention it, it's just that there are some things that have changed over time, and I can't go back to the past, just like yesterday that I can't go back to.

Yue Rushan's eyes were extremely surprised, but he couldn't hide a little joy, and said: "You and Yu Niang are ......" After all, after so many years, in the face of such a young man who met for the first time, he always had to think about the wording. Yin Shi didn't wait for him to think about it, and he never seemed to wait for him, and said: "Yin Yuniang of Qinglong Villa is the mother. This sentence is also extremely prosaic and untouchable. However, this time, Yue Rushan really jumped up, his body shook, and he came closer, and he grabbed his shoulders tightly, and his voice could not hide his excitement: "You...... You're a jade lady - you're my real son!"

Yin Shi's expression was very flat, his expression was as usual, he couldn't see the slightest ripple, he gently brushed away Yue Rushan's hands, and said indifferently: "Your real child?"

Yue Rushan glanced at the other party's face, seemed to understand something, unconsciously turned around, looked at the hook of wolf teeth and crescent moon that rose from the treetops outside the hall, looked back at the past, and sighed. How many sweet pasts, how many lingering moments, memories that originally belonged to him alone, but at this time they had to be presented in front of everyone. Although it is a little helpless, it is a little impatient to say, because although there is some sadness and helplessness in the past that has passed, it is more sweet and warm, or even unforgettable.

Yue Rushan groaned slightly, turned his head, and looked straight at Yin Shi, his exiled son, his biological son who had not seen him for more than 20 years, his eyes were full of endless love and guilt. He said, "Shi'er, your mother Yuniang is mine...... My wife, I- you're twenty-four years old, aren't you?"

Yin Shi nodded, but there was still no expression on his face. Yue Rushan sighed again and said: "Twenty-five years ago, I duel with the Seven Heroes of Yangzhou in Xiaofu Mountain, which is now Mouse Ridge, twenty miles to the west. The seven males of Yangzhou have a lot of evil deeds, and they hit me in my hands, so naturally I can't spare them. It's just that although they are notorious, their martial arts are really good. At that time, I was still young, and I had just debuted, and I was eager to make a name for myself, so I single-handedly found them. That night, we fought hundreds of moves, and in the end they died at my hands, but I also suffered severe internal injuries and was covered in blood. I couldn't die in the wilderness, the desire to survive supported me to go down the mountain, but I didn't go far before I lost consciousness......"

After a pause, he continued, apparently immersed in the past, and his speech quickened significantly: "When I awoke, I found myself lying on a soft bed with openwork flowers, and the faint fragrance came to my nose, and I guessed that this must be the boudoir of a young lady from a large family. You should think that it was Yu Niang who saved me. Early that morning, he saw me fainting on the side of the road, and saw that I was seriously injured, so he rescued me back to my home in Qinglong Villa. Under her careful care, I quickly recovered from my injuries, but after these days, Yu Niang has settled in my heart, fortunately, she also has some affection for me. So, it's easy to think about the next thing, they have affection for each other, and naturally it's time to talk about marriage. Can...... But I always feel that I have achieved nothing, I can't treat Yu Niang badly, and at the same time I have been preparing to set up a dart bureau, so I said that there is something important to do, and I will come to marry Yu Niang in a few days. Although Yu Niang was reluctant, she had always been reasonable and knew that the boy was ambitious, so she also agreed......"

He paused slightly, and there was silence all around. Because everyone knows what he said, and they have all heard Yin Shi say it once, but it is a little more detailed than what Yin Shi said. The next thing is what they want to hear, because what will happen in the future is what they don't know, they all hold on to their breath and look at Yue Rushan intently, even if Yue Ruchuan is listening.

Yue Rushan groaned slightly, and then continued: "A few months later, I created the Qilin Dart Game. I miss Yu Niang so much, so I want to go to meet my relatives. A few days later, just as I was about to leave, I received an anonymous letter. The letter meant that Yu Niang had married a woman and stayed away from Qinglong Villa, and that she wanted to cut off relations with me and never see her again, and warned me never to look for her. After I read the letter, I was extremely shocked, I don't know where I offended Yu Niang, so that she would be so ruthless, could it be that I made her wait too long? I don't understand, I really don't understand, the credible signature is clearly written with Yu Niang's name. I...... I was distressed and sad, and soon found a reason for Yu Niang, as if to find a comfort for myself, Yu Niang is beautiful and kind, generous, is the woman that most men dream of, there are not a few people who love her, there must be a lot of giants or magnates, or martial arts Junyan, and I have been absent from her for a long time, and it is not impossible to marry a new love. I really want to ask Yu Niang in person, even if I break up, I have to see her again! But, but the letter said that she is far away from Qinglong Villa, what can I do there? After so many years, I have never stopped thinking about Yu Niang, and after so many years, I have walked countless times, footprints all over the north and south of the river, but this Qinglong Villa has never passed. For more than 20 years, Yu Niang left me endless thoughts, and also left this letter, and only this letter. I...... I have always kept it close to me, and after so many years, the handwriting has been blurred, and the letterhead has been yellowed, but Yu Niang ......"

At this point, he stopped, his chest rising and falling, and the corners of his eyes glistened with tears. Yin Shi was also excited in his heart, and instantly subverted his father's image of a bad father in his heart, he tried his best to shock his mind, forced his composure, and said calmly: "That...... You've kept that letter close to you?"

Yue Rushan didn't say anything, but reached into his arms and took out a letter, but the paper was yellowed, but the handwriting was still clear, at least it could be recognized. It's just that the handwriting is very sloppy, and there is a bit of a tooth and claw flavor. Yin Shi took it and only glanced at it, then shook his head again and again, and said in a firm tone: "This is not my mother's handwriting, my mother's handwriting is beautiful, haven't you seen her handwriting? She has never written to you, because she doesn't know where you have been, let alone your message, how can she write to you?!"

"But this letter ......"

"This must have been written by someone else, but in the name of my mother, in order to destroy the ......" After a pause here, Yin Shi wanted to say that he would destroy your marriage, but if he said so, wouldn't the grievances that his mother had suffered over the years be said in a word? At this moment, although he understood his father's distress in his heart, he could not forgive him. He changed his words and said, "I am carrying a letter written by my mother, which was written to my uncle in Luoyang, and then my uncle gave it to me, which was two years ago. ”

After speaking, Yin Shi also took out a letter from his arms. Yue Rushan couldn't wait to take a look, and couldn't help but burst into tears. The letter was mostly about Yin Shi, and also mentioned her own illness by the way, and her words revealed endless thoughts about Yue Rushan, and the last sentence "Yesterday's yellow flowers have not withered, but I don't see Yue Lang, and my sister is very worried." This sentence is so ordinary, but the affection in the words is sincere, after decades of time, this miss has not faded at all. The handwriting is beautiful and the words are elegant, which is very different from the handwriting on the letter that Yue Rushan treasured.

Yue Rushan's heart was in severe pain, obviously someone was in the way of this matter, ruining an originally beautiful marriage, letting the tears fall silently like rain, the yellowed paper in front of him was blurred, and there was a trance in his mind, muttering: "It's not Yu Niang, that's ...... And who will be the person who wrote the letter?!"
