When Ping'er woke up, she knew that the sadness of Yiqiē was something I had expected a long time ago.

I've never seen a boy cry like that. Compared with babies and children who can cry wantonly, sensible people will always be depressed, will control, and will not let their sadness and pain be fully revealed, because people will always protect themselves, afraid of being hurt by the softness that is completely exposed.

But this time, the kid had nothing.

I desperately held him in my arms, and after a while, the placket was already soaked with tears, and I listened to him cry with all his strength, as if even his life was about to end, I didn't persuade him, and I knew that I couldn't comfort him, so I could only do my best to warm him with my body heat.

In the end, the child seemed to have shed tears for a lifetime, and his eyes were so black that they were empty.

In fact, I didn't do anything, I just kept holding him, but when I came out of Ping'er's room, I had a feeling that the whole person was going to be crushed, and I sat on the bench outside the porch, Pei Yuanxiu walked across from me and sat down, looked carefully at the corners of my tired eyes, and said, "Tired, right?" ”

I nodded slightly.

"Go and rest."

"He-"

"It doesn't matter what he wants to do in the future, but now, he's in the past."

Yes, no matter what the future holds, at least for now, this kid is fine, and I can put my mind at ease.

But after all, he is still so young, his life has just begun, and there is still such a long way to go, I really don't want him to carry such a tragedy on his back, but I don't have a clue what to do.

Hearing my worried words, looking at my worried appearance, Pei Yuanxiu frowned slightly: "I'm more worried about you." If you don't rest, I'll tie you to bed. ”

Obviously he was talking about rest, but as soon as he said this, my face turned red, and I looked up at him, a little displeased—how could I talk like that.

But he didn't seem to feel it at all, and looked at me: "Don't go back yet?" ”

“……”

Biting my lower lip, I turned away a little angrily, went back to my room, closed the door, and ignored him.

After returning to the room for a while, I seemed to have a poisonous hair, and I seemed to be tired and ruthless, as soon as I lay on the bed, I lost consciousness, and I was in chaos for a long time, and finally broke free from the darkness and opened my eyes, only to find that there was a thin morning light outside the window.

It's early in the morning again.

If it was a few days ago, when I saw an early morning, I felt that I might have one less day, but yesterday I saw Ah Lan outside Gu's house, although I didn't talk to her, but I also put it down in my heart, at least she knew where I was. I'm sure she'll find an opportunity to detoxify me, otherwise she wouldn't have to appear in front of me at all, and in this way, people will be more relaxed.

As soon as the attendants saw me get up, they immediately brought hot water towels to serve me to freshen up, I tidied up a little, sat down in front of the bronze mirror and combed my hair, thought about it and then turned back and asked, "Where is the childe?" ”

"Childe is still resting."

"Oh." I thought that Pei Yuanxiu should be a person who goes to bed early and gets up early, how can he lie in bed. was muttering in his heart, and the maid behind him whispered: "Mrs. Qingying, do you need us to report to the son?" ”

"Ah, no, let him rest."

I hurriedly shook my head, but I saw that the maid breathed a sigh of relief from the bronze mirror, and when she met my eyes, she smiled cautiously, and said: "Actually, last night Childe had been guarding outside Mrs. Qingying's door, and she stayed until late to confirm that Mrs. was sleeping peacefully, and Childe went back to rest, so he slept late." ”

I froze in the mirror for a moment.

The maid smiled again and said, "Moreover, yesterday the prince sent a team of men out overnight, saying that he was looking for something for his wife." ”

“……”

"Mrs. Qingying, the son is really attentive to you."

Maybe it's because of the cool morning breeze, and my fingertips are also a little cool, gently clasping my hands to warm myself a little, I smiled reluctantly: "Yes." ”

After saying those two words, my smile could barely hold it anymore and I lowered my head.

It's not that I don't know his intentions, I still remember what he said to me that night in the capital; Even when I lost my memory and no longer remembered my past, I was once moved by his infatuation, and even envied the person who made him obsessed. And now he is the lord of the party, and he still accompanies me everywhere, and even keeps watch outside my house until midnight, and no longer shy away from anyone or any remarks. Although the attendants called me "Lady Qingying", the atmosphere here seemed to have blended me and him together.

Thinking of this, my brow furrowed slightly.

When I combed my hair and it was getting brighter outside, I refused their move to wake up Pei Yuanxiu, and only said that he would have a good rest, and he would take a look around casually, these people were very polite to me, and what I said really worked, they gave me a few words, and then really let me wander around.

This annex is not very big, and it will come to an end after walking. It is not wrong with the feeling when I came yesterday, and it really has a bit of the taste of the annex on the outskirts of the capital, elegant and fresh, out of the gate, the eyes are full of green and verdant bamboo, and the tips of the leaves are condensed with crystal clear morning dew, reflecting people's clothes, colorful.

As I walked in the bamboo forest, every step under my feet was the rustling sound of the thick fallen leaves, which, together with the sound of the spring flowing, made the surroundings more and more quiet.

I remember that morning.

It is also like this The fragrance of bamboo leaves permeates the surroundings, and it is also like this morning dew reflecting colorful clothes, I walked in such a bamboo forest and met a man.

His smile was very indifferent and detached, and he told me with a calm that was neither sad nor joyful, nor hateful, that the fire in his heart had been extinguished.

Then, he was in the Jixian Hall and lit a fire for me.

He told him that he just felt that he didn't want to stay in that fishing village anymore and wanted to go out for a walk, so he just left.

However, Fu Badai told me how many injuries a person suffered when he left his home on such a rainy day, and in the end, how much pain he endured.

It dawned on me that I didn't know him at all.

I have never known that man, whether it is Liu San'er or Liu Qinghan, it turns out that he has always been unexpected.

It's just that I understand a little bit now.

I understood what it was like that day, on the day I told him that I had never loved him, that he let me stay in his house and walk into the cold rain by myself, like Ping'er, who wept without scruples, without any defense, stripped away all weakness, and longed to be struck down by that pain at this moment, and completely collapsed.

It turned out that I gave him that pain.

But I don't know anything, and even if I do, I can't get anything back.

Even the silver lock he left for Li'er, a testimony to the happiness we had that year, I didn't have the courage to get it back.

Looking back now, when I was pregnant and ready to marry him in Jixiang Village, so many villagers came to stop him, exhausted all kinds of methods, and even some people said, I am not worthy of him at all, he is just confused for a while, there must be grass within ten steps, and he can finally find a better one.

At the time, I didn't think so, but now I understand.

It turns out that a word is a prophecy.

"Your days look good."

I don't know how long I stood in the bamboo forest, how long I was in a daze, and when even my fingertips were cold, a voice came from the front, accompanied by the rustling of footsteps stepping on bamboo leaves.

As soon as I heard this voice, I suddenly felt a numb back, and hurriedly raised my head, and saw a bewitching figure slowly walking out of front of the bamboo forest, the crimson clothes looked particularly delicate against the background of a green bamboo leaf, together with the charming and moving face, the solemn lips were still a little pale, and there was some gloomy tiredness between the eyebrows, but it was still difficult to hide the style.

I was so surprised that I was almost speechless, and I stupidly watched her approach, and stammered for a long time: "A-a-A-A-A-A-a ”

Alan hooked the corner of his lips at me.

Although there were still many heavy things in my heart, as soon as I saw her, it was like a little morning light in the sky after a long dark night, I was overjoyed and hurriedly walked over: "Ah Lan! You're here, you're alright! ”

She hooked the corner of her lips at me again: "You know, something happened to me." ”

I nodded: "I met Ye Fei, and he sued me, saying that you were attacked." Have you ever been injured? Are you okay now? ”

In response to my concerned inquiry, Ah Lan seemed to be a little stunned, and after looking at me for a while, I met her eyes with a little tentativeness, and I was also a little puzzled: "Ah Lan, what's wrong with you?" ”

She was silent for a moment, then spoke: "Do you know who attacked me is? ”

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood why her attitude was a little cold.

The person who attacked her, I had already guessed that it was Miss Han Zitong before, but since she was under Pei Yuanxiu's command, the dispatcher naturally belonged to that side, Ah Lan was attacked by those people, and now seeing me and Pei Yuanxiu going in and out together, my attitude will inevitably be reserved.

I hurriedly explained to her: "I am indeed with those people on the south bank of the Yangtze River, this Pei Gongzi and I are old acquaintances. However, it wasn't him who attacked you, it was one of his men - this is a misunderstanding, and you must not mind. ”

Ah Lan has been standing there quietly listening, and when I stammered, she looked at me again, and suddenly laughed, the laughter was still the same as usual, but in this kind of charm, there seemed to be a little coldness, she leaned on a bamboo tree next to her, crossed her arms and looked at me while laughing: "You help him explain like this, I look at you as if you are more than just old acquaintances, right?" ”

I was stunned for a moment.

Looking at my somewhat dazed expression, Ah Lan hooked the corners of his lips again: "I thought that the one in the capital was willing to do anything for you, and I already felt that you were amazing, but I didn't expect that once you went south, there would be such an overlord who cares about you." Sister, sister really underestimates you. ”
