Chapter 53: The Southland Woman
A hazy mist fills the air after the rain, giving the small southern country some mystery.
The area is mountainous, and many shrines have been built for people to worship the gods they worship.
There is a local saying in the Qiangwu country that once a Qiangwu woman is in love with a man, she will be bound by love and protect this person for the rest of her life.
Helan passed by some shrines, but only stopped at the door for a moment, and did not enter the worship.
First, most of the worshippers were women, and second, he never believed in these things.
If he hadn't met Yun Yi a few years ago, he would probably never have had the slightest interest in a place like Qiangwu Kingdom.
In the summer of that year, it was extremely hot in the capital, and Helan had to take refuge in the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Beijing, where there was a friend's villa, and it was extremely convenient to live for a month.
The air is best in the mountains and forests, and he often walks around the mountains alone to breathe fresh air.
One day, Helan was walking on the cliffside path, and when he heard someone calling for help below, he stretched out his head to take a look, and it turned out that a woman accidentally stepped on the side of the road and was hooked by a crooked-necked tree on the edge of the cliff!
Heroes save beauty, anyone will.
But he, Helan Yan, is not the kind of nosy person, and was about to leave, when the woman shouted: "It's obviously just a matter of helping, but you regret that you don't want to rescue." ”
Helan Yan thought about it, it is indeed a matter of helping, anyway, it's okay to be idle, why don't you save someone to pass the time?
And from the moment he decided to make a move, he was destined to go through this sad relationship in his life.
Helan will never forget the surprise he was given when he first saw that face.
In the rich land of the capital, what kind of beauty has he never seen? But each flower into his own eyes, and the unique foreign appearance really made his eyes shine!
The face was white and deep, and the eyes were so enchanting that they seemed to seduce people's souls.
It's fine if she wants to hook his soul, but in the depths of those eyes, there is a faint sense of alienation.
That woman is beautiful enough to make men all over the world fall in love with her, but her greatest charm is in the fact that she can do things that can be done with a hook, but she disdains.
A white cigarette shirt with eye-catching scratches on the lotus root's arms.
The bright red blood stain made him frown, and he always felt that such a pure white and flawless body should not have such a thing.
Helan Yan was interested, if this woman named "Xiao Yi" was water, then he was a raging flame!
He knew best what kind of virtue Helan had made friends, so he immediately decided: take him back to the capital!
In order to leave no scars on Tongyi's wounds, Helan Yan searched for Langzhong, who was famous in Beijing, and dragged a lot of relationships to get the ointment.
It's not a matter of throwing money at all, he is only willing to do anything for the person in front of him who is different to him, for her.
Helan Yan himself felt crazy, it had always been a woman who admired him, this was the first time, he was willing to pay for one person.
Yun Yi spent a month in Helan Mansion in the capital to be pampered, and even the subordinates saw the affection from the second son of the family, and only treated her as half a second young grandmother.
But Yun Yi herself is indifferent, her thousand-year-old stone, no matter how much Helan can't cover it. Helan was very distressed for a while, and she didn't know where she was not good enough, and during that time, she was all about how to please her.
And just after Helan Xiao, the eldest son of the Helan family, Helan Xiao, returned to the house from a study tour, the direction of things gradually changed.
What He Lanxiao didn't know was that he couldn't see a smile when he spent time and energy, but his eldest brother He Lanxiao could do it easily.
Brother He Lanxiao is full of poetry and books, and is obsessed with traveling around to enrich himself, he is the pride of the entire Helan family, his father He Lanchang paid more attention to the cultivation of Helan Xiao when they were still children, as for Helan Yan, his father said that he will be an "idle layman" in the future.
In the past, He Lanxiao often persuaded Helan to study well, so that he could enrich himself and improve his self-cultivation.
A gentleman is good at reading.
But Helan Yan very much disagrees with these remarks, reading? Read a fart! He is not a gentleman, why should he study?
If you have the work of "those who are also good", it is better to play a few sets of knife skills. What woman doesn't like a man with a sense of security?
He Lanxiao persuaded again: "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book." ”
When Helan Yan heard this, he couldn't stop laughing, and he teased his brother: "I believe you once, I want to see if there is Yan Ruyu in this book." You can read it to me, and see how you can read a woman. If I could read it, I'd eat all your books in front of you! ”
I don't want to make a prophecy.
The amusing joke between the brothers when they were teenagers was unintentional, but unfortunately it came true.
Helan Yan would never have thought that the woman in front of her, who was untouchable like a fairy, would smile at a person and take the initiative to speak to a person.
Yes, this person is his eldest brother, He Lanxiao.
She was researching a medicine, and by chance she saw in a book that one of the medicinal herbs only grows in the land of Xuli, and she has put too much energy into this medicine, so she went to the country of Xuli alone, trying to find this medicine in the places mentioned in the book.
One day, Helan Yan was carrying the roast duck she had just bought in person, and she couldn't find Tong Yi everywhere, so she asked the next person, only to know that she was in the courtyard of the eldest son.
Before he had time to put down the things in his hand, he eagerly ran to He Lanxiao's courtyard.
When he saw Yun Yi, she was looking at He Lanxiao with a smile, the two were studying a book together, what they were talking about, Helan Yan couldn't understand.
He only saw the pleasant smile on her face, the one who was always cold to him on weekdays, but at this moment, as if he had said something wrong, he was playfully sticking out his tongue, and smiled at his eldest brother He Lanxiao: "Hey, this one is wrong again." ”
Helan felt like he was falling into an ice cave, he looked at it for a long time before he spoke: "Why did you come here?" I can't see you everywhere. ”
The smile that was still on his face disappeared in an instant when he was disturbed by Helan Yan.
She reverted to her old cold attitude and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Helan Yan really didn't have anything to do, he was stunned, so he could only raise the roast duck wrapped in his hand and said, "I bought you a roast duck, and if you don't eat it, it will be cold." ”
His words made Yun Yi frown, obviously he was still standing far away, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to cover her nose, and said coldly: "Let's put it first." ”
Let's leave it there for now.
These four words are like dense needles, rooted in his heart.
Helan didn't know for a while whether to feel pitiful for this roast duck or to feel pitiful.
This roast duck has gone through layers of craftsmanship, and after every minute of fine carving under the knife, it has been slipped into such a delicate flavor, but she didn't even look at it.
Helan felt that he was very much like this roast duck.
He suddenly remembered what his brother had said to him: There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book.
What a pair of people in front of them, Helanxiao and Yunyi, like-minded and well-read.
They talk things they don't understand, and they look at books they can't read.
This is not the most fatal blow, for Helan Yan, the biggest thing in this life is that he heard from his father about giving his brother and a betrothed.
Now he is really dumbfounded, Helan Yan is desperate to mess around, he no longer cares how Tong Yi rejects him thousands of miles away, he can't control anything, he just wants her!
If he can't move his mouth, he can't persuade him in every possible way.
He couldn't do anything, he tried his best to make a fuss, almost overturning the entire Helan Mansion.
But after all, it was just a battle of trapped beasts, and Helan Yan went to his father again to mention the matter, but his father was just deeply silent.
Helan Chang only said that the woman was a red face and trouble, which made their entire Helan Mansion unpeaceful!
Helan didn't realize how serious the consequences would be for his nonsense this time.
He thought that through these little tricks he played, he could pull his beloved woman towards him, but he never thought that this farce would have to pay for himself in the end.
That day, after Helan Yan woke up, he went to Yun Yi's residence as usual, only to find that all her things inside were empty, he didn't pay attention to it at first, and ran to He Lanxiao's courtyard, only to find that He Lanxiao was also gone.
"What about people?" Helan Yan muttered in confusion.
The subordinates in the mansion all looked at him with strange eyes, and when Helan asked about Yun Yi, the subordinates were also nervous and speechless.
After asking a few people in succession and couldn't find the result, Helan finally got angry and went directly to his father.
In the face of his mania, his old father Helan Chang obviously reacted to him in advance. I saw that Helan Chang was not salty and said lightly: "Leave her in the house to continue to stay, our Helan family will be a mess sooner or later, no, it's a mess now!" ”
Helan sighed and said, "Your eldest brother is going to chase that woman, so let him go." I, Helan Chang, don't want to keep this face in the court, my son, the second son of Helan! Can you please save your old father a little more face at the end?! ”
Helan Yan's mood was very complicated, and he suddenly felt that his father was a little pitiful at this moment.
Later, he was like a walking corpse, and his father let him into his camp, and he went.
He no longer has what he wants to pursue, and he no longer lives for himself.
It wasn't until Helan Yan came to the Qiangwu Kingdom in person and saw the woman he couldn't forget with his own eyes that he felt as if he was still alive.
The rain was murmuring in the Qiangwu Kingdom, and Helan woke up early the next morning, and Xiao Qingyuan was no longer in the inn. After asking the shopkeeper, she found out that she had already found a carriage and left by herself.
It was he who parted ways after saying that, but now he can't help but worry, will it be dangerous for that child to be alone like the north?
