Chapter 5: It's Not Him Anymore
The weather is crisp, a little bit of broken clouds as a companion, and the occasional birds and birds fly over the branches of the trees, accompanied by a gentle breeze, which is very pleasant. Originally, the sun was mild and warm, but at this moment, the woman in red sitting on the big locust tree felt that today's sun was extraordinarily red-eyed, and the heat of the sun was also extraordinarily scorching people's skin.
"Evil, I want to know you and live a long life. There are no mountains and no tombs, and the rivers are exhausted. Thunder and tremors in winter, rain and snow in summer. Heaven and earth are combined, but dare to ...... with the king" The beautiful woman in white in the pavilion played the piano and sang, and the handsome man in black sitting opposite was rendered with pen and ink, bringing the woman's charm to life.
It turns out that both the living and the dead will suffer, and only the forgotten will be at ease.
Sometimes it is others who can hurt people, not everything in the outside world, but their own hearts, and when their hearts are broken, they hurt no matter what.
Hongyan sat on the high branch of the locust tree, shaking his legs and looking at the two people in this pavilion, he was doing well in this life, and she should rest assured.
Can...... But she was always a little unwilling in her heart, unwilling to break off her fate with him, and unwilling for her to remember him for so many years, and he forgot her like this.
Twenty-three years later, for the sake of that little obsession in her heart, she finally broke through the seal and returned to this world with a few drops of blood from that benefactor girl.
Perhaps it was God's mercy, and on the third day of her return to the world, she saw the obsession in her heart - blank space.
No, twenty-three years later, he is no longer called Liubai, he has a new name - Qu Linye, even if his appearance has changed slightly, but Hongshang knows that he is him.
Although she knew that he was no longer the blank space of twenty-three years ago, there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart.
For him, she can't let go of it so easily.
Twenty-three years ago, this Hanshui Town was still an unknown town, and she and Liubai were still a loving couple.
They guard the jade shop of 'Huangshi Meiyu' together, and their lives are ordinary but warm and comfortable. Until one day, Liubai accidentally obtained a piece of gilded jade called Changsheng, and this jade became the beginning of their disaster.
Because of this piece of jade, the entire Liujia family of seven died unexpectedly, Liubai died in order to protect him, and she suffered so much that she burned herself in a sea of fire.
The culprit knew that she had a deep grudge and was afraid that she would turn into a ghost and ask for her life, so he found a powerful soul slayer to seal her up in order to live in peace.
Recalling the past, Hongshang's eyes were red. She is back, she is back with hatred, and she will get back those old accounts one by one.
"Miss Xiaoshan, Madame is looking for you, why did you fly up the tree again? The tree is dangerous......" The person who came was Yun Qian, who had been serving the old lady of the Qu family since she was a child, about fifty years old, because she had followed the old man Qu since she was a child, and the old man Qu trusted her, so the people in the Qu Mansion called Aunt Yun when they saw her.
Two days ago, the lady took her up the mountain to worship the deceased, but on the way back, she suddenly encountered a rare bandit accident, and they were caught in it and could not get out.
Just when they were at a loss for what to do, thinking that they were going to go to Huangquan, this girl appeared. Such a delicate woman, they thought that they must be poisoned by the bandits, and while worrying about their own situation, they also took pity on this girl.
However, they never expected that such a seemingly weak and delicate woman would be a powerful woman with strong martial arts.
She and her wife hadn't even seen how the girl had made a move, and the bandits couldn't count them all, without exception.
She and her wife were also able to return their freedom, and in order to express her gratitude, Mrs. invited Miss Xiaoshan to come to Qufu as a guest to express her gratitude, but Miss Xiaoshan did not allow it.
Later, the young master brought the servants in the house to find the old lady who had not returned for a long time, and after understanding the whole story, he invited Miss Xiaoshan to come to the house with his wife, and Miss Xiaoshan agreed.
About Hongsheng is close to Yun Qian's eyes, so after knowing that Hongshang is alone, he always unconsciously takes a little more care of her.
"Aunt Yun, wait a moment, I'll go with you. Hongshang responded when she heard this, the red in her eyes dissipated, and she regained her clarity.
In the end, she is still stunned, she is really afraid that one day, she will harm the happiness of this life, and she herself will never recover.
Thirty years ago, the Qu family lived next to the Liujia family, and Mrs. Qu was five or six years older than her, and she had always taken great care of Mrs. Qu in red clothes, but later with her husband moving, there was little contact.
On the day of saving Mrs. Qu, Hongshang also went to her former residence, although it was her sad place, but in the end it still carried the memories of her, Liubai, and their family.
After twenty-three years of absence, the hometown of our belongers is still there, but it is a pity that things are not people, and the past is gone. The only thing she was happy about was that someone remembered them.
The man would come every year to offer incense and worship, and he would regularly repair and maintain their former residence, as if someone was eagerly waiting for their return.
At first, she thought that Liubai was waiting for her, until she saw Mrs. Qu who came to worship, and she knew that the person who remembered them was the sister of the Qu family at that time.
Over the years, her sister has developed wrinkles and gorgeous hair, but her warmth and kindness are still the same, and they have never changed.
Her sister of the Qu family was killed, how could she stand idly by? Yes, she saved Mrs. Qu's life out of instinct.
Mrs. Qu was very grateful, and when she saw Hongyan's face clearly, Mrs. Qu was teary-eyed, and said straightly, "Like, really like", and then sincerely invited Hongyan to Qu's house to chat and express her gratitude.
Also on the same day, Hongshang saw Liubai at Qu's house, no, it was Qu Linye.
Fate is really wonderful, I can't imagine that the blank world in this life is the eldest son of the sister of the Qu family in the past, or the only son.
"Miss Xiaoshan, are you still used to it in the house?" Yun Qian led Hongshang into the living room as soon as she got up to greet her, she grabbed Hongsheng's hand and asked Hongshang eagerly.
Looking at the woman in front of her, who called herself Xiaoshan, Mrs. Qu would always think of the clever and smiling woman who used to live next to her, but the woman was bumpy, and when she knew, she was no longer alive.
She never believed that Hongsheng would do such a thing, no matter what outsiders said, she didn't believe that the kind and resilient woman would have a vicious mind and her hands were covered in blood.
Hongshang didn't say anything, just nodded.
"Miss Xiaoshan, I invited someone from the embroidery workshop to make you a few clothes, and in a few days it will be the Jade Festival in Hanshui Town, and I will let Linye take you to see it. Mrs. Qu said, the more she looked at the red dress, the more she felt that she was very similar to the woman in the depths of her memory.
If that woman was still there at that time, they would probably still live next to each other, maybe they would have become the family of their children, right?
It's just that there are some things in this world that can't be fulfilled in the end, leaving regrets in vain, and can't let go of them for half a lifetime.
