"Old lovers are inseparable when they meet, right?"

This sentence was as sharp as a needle, and it pierced into my heart at once, my brows frowned slightly, and my steps stopped subconsciously.

The room was silent.

After a while, Mu Hua's sneering voice sounded again: "I can remind you that she is the emperor's woman, if you want to take a concubine or something, you must be prepared to deal with the emperor first." ”

"Don't be cranky."

"Am I cranky? Then what are you going to do when you chase her for several days and bring her back? ”

There was a suffocating silence in the room, and after a long time, Huang Tianba's deep voice said with a hint of fatigue: "I'm tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"You're tired, of course you're tired. As soon as you see that sweat towel, you go to her regardless of it, how can you not be tired. But now it's okay, people are in front of you, and it's easy to do anything. Isn't it time for you to celebrate tomorrow? ”

"Mu Hua!" Huang Tianba's tone was a little heavy, but after calling his wife's name, he was silent for a while, slowed down his tone and said slowly: "I went to find her because I knew that she must have had an accident, otherwise the emperor would not be in Yangzhou, but she lived here, and she still made a living by selling embroidery, and now she has to flee Yangzhou." I went to save her, not what you think. ”

"Not what I thought it would be?!"

There was a sound of rummaging through the cabinets in the room, and then there was a snap, Mu Hua seemed to slap something on the table, and said, "Then you tell me clearly, what's going on?!" ”

I was shocked in my heart, I didn't know what she took out, Huang Tianba was silent for a long time, and when he spoke again, his deep voice seemed a little weak: "I said, it's just a jade flute." ”

"It's just a jade flute, hmph, I don't think it's that simple."

“……”

"She has been eye-to-eye with you when she was in Yangzhou, how many times have you ever had in private, you have never sued me."

"Mu Hua, that's in the past, and the relationship between me and Qingying is not what you think."

"Not what I thought it was, what was it? Why did she give you this jade flute, and what did she mean? ”

"I've said many times that this jade flute is not Qingying's, but she gave it to me on behalf of Pei Yuanchen, and the whole thing has nothing to do with her."

"You lied to me!" Mu Hua suddenly shouted, with a little choked in his voice, and said unwillingly: "You obviously have an unforgettable old love for her, right?" It's only because she's the emperor's woman that you're not with her. Now that she has also left the emperor, you don't have to scruple! ”

"What are you talking nonsense?"

"I'm not talking nonsense! Over the years, I have asked you so many times to throw away this jade flute, but you have refused, you are just to stay, to stay and see things and think about people, isn't it! ”

“……”

"Say!"

Huang Tianba seemed to grit his teeth, and finally sighed and said, "No." ”

"You're lying!"

After Mu Hua finished speaking, he began to cry, the whimpering cry was particularly sad in such a night, and I listened, listened silently, but I felt as if there was a stone in my heart, which was getting heavier and heavier, and it was pressing down more and more, so that I couldn't breathe anymore.

I don't know how long it took, but her crying still didn't stop.

Huang Tianba's shadow was cast on the window, for some reason, maybe because he was already very thin, the shadow looked extremely thin and tired, once Mount Tai's back was pressed against the top and did not bend over, at this moment he bent slightly, he slowly walked in front of Mu Hua, squatted down, and looked up at her.

"Mu Hua, it's not early, rest early, don't cry."

"No way!" Mu Hua choked up and said loudly: "If you don't make it clear to me today, you won't sleep!" ”

"Y-what do you want me to say?"

"Tell me what the hell is going on with her! Say you don't like her! ”

"It's not."

"You lied to me!"

……

I slowly turned around and walked back to the room step by step, although I had been resting for a long time, but at this time I felt so tired that I collapsed as if all the strength of my body had just been drained, and when I pushed the door again, the person was almost going to fall.

And just as I walked back to the house, and just as I closed the door, the door on that side was suddenly opened.

I stood in the room, watching through the crack in the door as the familiar figure came out of it, the door behind me was open and brightly lit, and I could faintly hear the sound of things being broken when they fell to the ground, which was particularly harsh in the night.

Huang Tianba stood at the door, silently raised his head and closed his eyes.

In the moonlight, his face was breathtakingly perfect, but there was the most heart-wrenching paleness on it.

After some time, he opened his eyes and walked out without looking back.

I also knew that I shouldn't have gone to him at this time, but looking at the pale expression on his face just now, his tired demeanor, my heart was still like a knife.

No wonder he is so tired and so helpless when he comes home.

How tired is a person to that he feels tired even when he goes home?

I stood for a long time holding on to the door frame, but I still pushed the door open and walked out, and in the house behind me, Mu Hua was still crying and throwing things, and the broken sound stabbed people's hearts. When I walked to the gate, I saw Huang Tianba leap forward, fly onto a towering tree in the distance, and slowly sit down.

When the bright moon is in the sky, the sprinkling of thousands of miles of clear light seems to condense a layer of frost on the whole world, there is a kind of cold that spreads from the heart, his silhouette is reflected in the moonlight, lonely like an eternal ghost.

I leaned against the door and looked at him from afar, looking at this low night, the lanterns lit on the stone corridor by the spring, swaying by the night wind, as if the light in front of me was going to be extinguished at any time, and the wind blew on my face, bringing a chill, and when I reached out and touched it, it was wet.

I realized that I had burst into tears.

I lowered my head and was about to turn to leave, but when I turned around, I found that a person slowly came behind me, it was Qian Wu.

There was a little pain on his face, and he looked at me, then at the figure outside, and then let out a long sigh.

"It's been two years."

When Qian Wu spoke, there was more helplessness in his cold and hard voice, and it could be seen that some scars were also imprinted in his heart.

I choked up and said, "Has it always been like this?" ”

Qian Wu shook his head gently.

"After leaving the imperial city, Huang Ye insisted on leaving the sect, and even did not hesitate to cut himself, and was seriously injured; In order to protect him, Mrs. also gave up her own qiē in the sect...... Later, the two became married, and after they became married, they went to a nearby town to live in seclusion. ”

“……”

"At the beginning, the relationship between the two of them was very good, the husband sang and the wife followed, and the case was raised with eyebrows, during that time-" Qian Wu said, and a faint smile appeared on his face that was accustomed to being cold and hard: "It's a rare time for Huang Ye to be relaxed and happy." ”

"And then?"

"Later......" Qian Wu's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, looked up at the moon in the sky, and sighed: "Huang Ye was born like that, you also know that there will inevitably be some people - he can't always stay at home and see no one." In this way, the lady began to get angry and quarrel with him. ”

“……”

"Because I didn't want to make trouble, and I didn't want my wife to quarrel anymore, Huang Ye sold the house in the town and moved here."

No wonder, this is so far away from the market, there is no store in front of the village, although it is quiet, but it is too remote, and there are many inconveniences in life.

"Madame also sent the servants at home, leaving only some of the elderly, and then even the embroidery girls in the town could not come to the door, and if there was anything to be handed over to the people in the embroidery workshop to be ready and then sent, Huang Ye originally thought that this would be fine, and he didn't ask again, but Madame found that he was carrying the jade flute you sent."

My throat choked.

"Actually, it's not just that jade flute," Qian Wudi sighed, and said a little helplessly: "There is always a quarrel between the two of them, and then Huang Ye began to go out hunting, two or three months at a time, and when he came back, the two of them could be quiet for a few days, but after a few days, they would be noisy again, so he went out again." ”

As he spoke, he let out a long sigh: "The tiger wolves on the nearby mountains have been almost beaten by him. ”

……

No wonder, I walked on the wild road for several days, without encountering a single danger, and did not meet a single hunter, which turned out to be his "credit".

But the more this happens, the more sour my my heart becomes.

I never thought that the high-spirited hero, who was known as the uncrowned king in Yangzhou City, and carried the suffering of the people on his shoulders, would have lived such a day over the years.

He and Mu Hua are obviously in love, but why did they do this?

"Qingying girl," Qian Wu said, looking at me, his expression was very gloomy, and said: "It's not that I don't want you to come, among so many people, only you and Huang Ye can really talk something, but as soon as you come, you also saw it, he can't even hide out." ”

“……”

"I don't even know when this torture will be a head for him."

Qian Wu has never been a man of many words, in the past, he would rather bleed than talk to others, but tonight, he said so much to me, every word with infinite fatigue and helplessness.

I know that over the years, it has not been easy for him.

I nodded slightly, "I understand." ”

Speaking of which, there is no need to say any more, Qian Wu looked at me apologetically, and said softly: "It's too late, you better go back and rest early." ”

"Hmm."

I nodded, watched him turn away, and looked back at the lonely figure sitting in the treetops, perfect as a statue, under the bright moon.

That kind of loneliness, like a brand, is deeply engraved in people's hearts and souls.
