Chapter 21 Know What the Night?
The light cold is slightly through the sea of clouds, floating zero thoughts, and it is so heavy that I remember the past.
After a month of recuperation, my knife wound has healed, and the poison of Zhuangzi's heavenly fairy is also recovering.
The stab that Siyu stabbed me made her completely wake up, in fact, it wasn't until that moment that she realized that I was already like a sister in her heart. During the healing, she asked me what it means to love someone. I told her that loving someone doesn't have to be owned, as long as the other person is happy, it is the greatest blessing. She smiled, said sorry to me, and kept saying that she never knew what love was.
At that time, it was as if we had gone back to the past, to the days when we snuggled up to each other.
Today's weather is excellent, she personally boiled the medicine and brought it in, and personally sent the medicine to my mouth, the action was careful and in Taoyuan Village is no different, "That night I was ordered by the Queen Mother to send ginseng soup to the emperor, passing through the imperial garden, I happened to see the queen hurriedly returning to the palace, full of fear and the color of fear is different from the past, I followed with some doubts in my heart, only to know, she actually left you in the wolf slope." Although I hate you, somehow, I still reported it to the emperor. The emperor went out of the palace overnight to rescue you, but fortunately, you are fine. ”
I smiled slightly, "In your heart, you didn't really hate me, it's just that you, too worried about Zhuangzi, will treat me..." I didn't continue, just held one of her hands, "Siyu, I miss our days in Taoyuan Village, sometimes, I really wish to go back there." ”
She lowered her eyebrows and smiled, looking very shy, and when I was about to continue, Zhuangzi's voice sounded, "The war is not urgent in recent days, but I am happy to accompany you to Taoyuan Village." ”
Siyu and I looked at each other, although we were surprised, but we were happy from the bottom of our hearts. This should be our greatest wish. That year, I chose to die for the sake of Liuyun, but I was rescued by Ziqian and Xiyun, and in Taoyuan Village, I relied on Siyu as my companion. Later, when Zhuangzi was saved, we didn't know that he was actually the crown prince of the kingdom. At that time, Liuyun and Zhuangzi had not yet ascended the throne, and the world was still very peaceful.
And I, my state of mind is calm without a trace of waves.
Now, it's no longer the same.
Since I can't kill him, then who will end up in this world depends on the strength of the two countries. I believe that whether it is Jingxuan or Zhuangzi, they will be a good emperor.
The twilight is kind and the sky is wide, the sunset is still shining, and the evening breeze blows the clouds and temples.
I, Siyu, Zhuangzi went through more than ten days of travel to arrive in Taoyuan Village, back to the time when we spent Taoyuan Village together, which was also carefully arranged by Zhuangzi, he said, over the years, he has long wanted to take me back here, especially the peach blossom season, but there has never been a chance.
Zhuangzi said that this was the only thing he could give me, because in the future, he did not know what would happen.
It's just because of the world that it's not stable.
I gladly accepted his arrangement, because it was also a wish for the three of us!
After that, the road to the end of the world will move forward separately.
Time is limited, and after we have removed the time to go back and forth, there are only three days left, three days, enough for us to remember the past.
Nothing has changed, only our three hearts.
The only pity is that we couldn't catch up with the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom.
As soon as she rested, Siyu hurriedly took out the plum blossom brew buried deep in the yard, she hadn't drunk her wine for many years, and she missed it very much now. Filled a bowl for me and Zhuangzi, and her expression instantly condensed, "I still remember that the plum blossom brew I brewed that winter, you couldn't praise it." ”
I took a sip, and the slightly spicy flavor skewed up my throat, "It's the same as it used to be, but after so many years, it's a little sweeter." ”
Zhuangzi was convinced, and drank it after a few sips, and then kept nodding, "Siyu's kung fu in making wine is really powerful, why is it that in the palace, he has never made this wine!" Over the years, I have missed this smell. ”
She pursed her lips embarrassedly, her face flushed, "Plum blossom brewing, it can be regarded as a testimony to the friendship of the three of us!" I will only make this wine in Taoyuan Village. Because, anywhere, it can't compare to here. ”
I put aside all the unhappiness, filled a bowl for Zhuangzi and Siyu, picked up the wine bowl and said, "We won't get drunk tonight!" ”
That night, the three of us drank all the wine in a jar, and in the middle of the night, we were all drunk, and we sat in the courtyard looking up at the dark sky, and the breeze washed away our thoughts layer after layer.
Tears flowed unknowingly, and with my still sober brain, I said softly to Zhuangzi: "Zhuangzi, I remember that once I asked your name, and you asked me to call you Zhuangzi, and this name is ten years." We've changed so much from being friends to where we're today. But I want you to think of me as a friend or a sister. Because, it's really painful to be obsessed with someone who doesn't love you. ”
Zhuangzi's solemn expression was filled with deep regret, and he was silent for a long time before nodding to me, "In your heart, you can only pretend to be him alone." I used to be jealous, crazy, but also tried. Song Liu, I no longer force you, and I no longer expect you to have love for me. As long as you can live well, it's fine! ”
Live well, he said this, Liuyun said it, Haoxuan said it, Ziqian and Xiyun also said the same thing, and now when I listen to it, I still feel uncomfortable. After Liuyun's death, I thought I would die with him, but in order to fulfill Liuyun's long-cherished wish, I tried to survive. However, when I stood in front of Zhuangzi, I couldn't start.
Now, I really feel that they are living well. It's very simple, I just don't want me to live for others, for the world, for things that don't concern me, but for myself.
Life is short, and the years are unforgiving.
They all expressed their love for me in different ways.
However, I understood it too late.
I don't know, if I want to live well for them... I don't know if I'll be able to do it.
"I don't love you anymore, but I will love you, because you are my relatives." His eyes showed true affection, and when love turned into family affection, maybe it was really okay to let go of everything.
I couldn't stop crying, hazy, I still remember the scene ten years ago, and from the bottom of my heart, I said to him, "Thank you!" ”
Siyu wiped her tears silently on the side, never saying a word, I firmly believe that she will also transform her love for Zhuangzi into family affection, admiration or friendship...
The next day, when the sky was clear, I made a rich breakfast and waited for the two of them to get up. Last night, I ended up drinking less, and even if I was drunk, it was much better than the two of them.
Sitting at the wooden table, looking at the scenery outside the window with one hand on his cheek, his face was full of smiles, this smile came from the heart, as if he had returned to those ordinary days ten years ago.
Slowly recalling those past events, from the day he rescued Zhuangzi, he has been walking in the present day, only sighing, sighing that time flies by in a flash, so fast that we can't remember too many days of getting along.
Thinking about it, there was a noise of some people outside the house, and in my impression, this place was rarely visited. I was a little surprised, I stood up and was about to open the door to take a look, but as soon as I got up and walked two steps, the wooden door was kicked open, and five or six masked black-clothed men armed with long knives rushed in, and I was dumbfounded.
Feeling bad, I ran to the back room, but as soon as I got started, they grabbed me, raised their knife and slashed at the top of my head, and I cried out with my eyes closed. Zhuangzi appeared at the right time, and one of them gave them a hard kick and snatched me out of their hands.
I raised my eyes to stare at Zhuangzi, and the dark tide in my heart was surging, but he leaned over my ear and whispered, "Close your eyes, and you'll be fine for a while." ”
I bowed my head and closed my eyes again.
The sonorous sound of the sword came to my ears, and the air at this time was so awe-inspiring that I was slowly filled with the pungent smell of blood, and the thoughts in my mind were so complicated that I couldn't help myself, and my whole body trembled, and I only hoped that when I opened my eyes, it would be a dream.
After a few screams, Zhuangzi took my hand and opened his eyes, Siyu was also tightly held in his hand at this time, "Let's go quickly, they will definitely have someone to catch up." "Without thinking too much, we got into the carriage that brought us and ran all the way in the direction of Jiayu City.
I guess it's a killer, because Zhuangzi's identity is the emperor after all, and there should be many people who want to kill him. But who was going to kill him? I also know that I followed all the way to Taoyuan Village, and I must be a person in the palace, otherwise how would I know where we were.
Sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves was heard behind me, and I lifted the curtain to take a look, and when there were a dozen or so more masked men in black behind our carriage, they were hurrying to catch up with us.
The heart that could no longer be held back finally could not hold my breath, and I shouted to Zhuangzi: "Cut the rope off the horse, and you can put us down!" They want to kill you, and if you ride a horse, you will get rid of them. ”
"Stop talking nonsense, how can I leave you behind!" He roared in front of him, and the air instantly condensed, and the good things slowly dissipated, and the killers still chased after him.
After running for a long time, Zhuangzi looked back, there were so many more of them than us, not to mention, two of the three of us were weak women who didn't know martial arts, how could they run away!
After a moment, he looked back at me again, with a persistence in his eyes, "All the way south, don't stop, no matter what happens, keep going south." ”
I quickly pulled the clothes behind him and asked urgently, "What are you going to do?" ”
He looked at me with deep eyes, then glanced at Siyu again, and the faint worry fell into my eyes, "I can deal with them alone, believe me, wait for me to come back in Jiayu City!" ”
Immediately, he jumped out of the carriage and rolled on the ground several times, Siyu and I watched in amazement as he got farther and farther away from our sight, and the sound kept calling... He already knew we couldn't escape, and he knew that if he didn't stop them from catching up, none of us would be able to escape.
His words kept ringing in my ears, and without hesitation, I climbed in front of the carriage and pulled up the leash, and made a quick southward head.
The tears in his eyes were dried by the strong wind brought by the carriage moving forward quickly, and his mouth silently muttered the words he said to me, "Live well!" Live well! ”
