Chapter 107: Floating Like a Dream
Fengming Island is a subordinate island of Fuzhou County, when the summer monsoon blows, it is like a phoenix nirvana, hence the name.
After the monsoon, it is the gift of the sea.
It was just dawn, and the sky was as clear as if it had been cleaned.
The girl Ah Zheng carried the basket on her back, rolled up her sleeves and trousers and walked on the beach at low tide, leaving behind a string of petite and cute little feet.
The air is filled with the salty and sweet smell of the summer sea breeze.
Ah Zheng opened her arms and breathed hard, she liked Fengming Island and the smell of the sea.
After a while, the basket on her back became heavy, sea cucumbers, octopus, jellyfish, oysters, large crabs, ...... A large basket full of rich seafood.
Ah Zheng didn't rush back, put down the basket, she ran to the coastal reef area, the cool sea water slapped her ankles, driving away the summer heat.
Suddenly, she noticed a black mass of kelp floating next to the reef, as if something was entangled.
Ah Zheng was curious, and when he walked in, he saw that it was a man. His face was white, without a hint of lip color, and he was lifeless.
How is there a dead man here?
Ah Zheng dragged him to the shore, intending to dig a pit and bury him, so that the dead could rest in peace.
It was easy to dig a big hole, and when she turned around, a pair of puffy obsidian eyes were staring at her without blinking.
Corpse deceit!
Ah Zheng was so frightened that she rolled into the big pit she had dug.
The man moved to the edge of the pit and looked at Ah Zheng in confusion, and the girl lay on her back in the pit, her eyes frightened and panicked, like a frightened fledgling.
The man laughed out loud at her actions and asked, "Did I scare you?"
With such a clean smile and such a gentle voice, Ah Zheng sighed, and sat up like a carp, "It turns out that you are not dead, I thought you were a water ghost."
The man looked at the big sand pit, it turned out that it was dug for him, and then reached out and pulled out the zither, "I'm sorry, I scared the girl."
"No, no." Ah Zheng patted the sand and gravel off his clothes, a little embarrassed, "By the way, where are you from, how did you faint on the beach."
"I ......" the man's brain went blank, who was he? Where did it come from? Where are you going? Why is it here?
Nothing.
Ah Zheng squatted in front of him and looked at him, quietly waiting for him to speak.
"I, I don't know."
Ah Zheng smiled and quipped, "Huh? Who doesn't know who he is and where he came from?"
The man recalled carefully, and suddenly, he hugged his head, and his eyes became deep and hollow, as if he had fallen into a painful nightmare.
It hurts, it hurts! He still couldn't think of anything.
Seeing that he was so pitiful and helpless, Ah Zheng couldn't bear it, so he held his shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, okay, don't think about it if you can't think about it, maybe, you are an immortal in the sky, and you have come down to the earth."
The girl's bright and cheerful smile calmed the man.
The man's leg was broken, and Ah Zheng took him home to heal his injuries and groom him again. The depressed and edematous man was beaten from beginning to end, and he was completely renewed, and he turned into a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he looked similar to Ah Zheng at the same age.
A Zheng's surname is Gu, is the only daughter of Guzhi County, Fuzhou, the Gu family is full of loyalty, simplicity, helpfulness, and is deeply loved by the local people.
The Gu family took in the amnesiac young man, named him Runze, and followed Gu Zheng's mother's surname Tan. Under the careful care of the girl A Zheng, Runze's injury quickly recovered, and since then, everyone can always see a young man who follows the girl all the time with his eyes behind A Zheng.
My Fair Lady, Gentleman.
On that day, the sea and the sky were on the line, the sea surface was sparkling under the afterglow of the setting sun, and the seagulls were hovering freely around the boys and girls.
The girl sat on the big reef and looked into the distance, and she asked the boy, "Runze, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"
The young man thought for a while and replied seriously: "I want to be a good son like Gu Zhixian, to be honest and honest, and to benefit one party
A good official with a surname."
"With his talent, he will definitely be on the list when he enters Beijing to take the exam." The girl still looked into the distance stupidly, and sighed, "I have never been to a place other than Fuzhou, when I look at Nanxue, I and the plum blossoms are white. I don't know if the snow and red plums in the capital are really as beautiful as they say in the book."
The boy touched the girl's head and said, "I'll go with you."
The girl smiled happily, but looked away, "But there are fathers, mothers, and Weng on Fengming Island, and Ah Zheng can't bear them, and he doesn't want to leave Fengming Island. Runze, you go and help me see the outside world, go and help me see the heavy snow and red plums in the capital, you have seen it, just as I have seen it."
"Runze, you are talented, you shouldn't just stay in our small place, the sky is high and the sea is wide outside, you should fly high like this seagull and go to the world that belongs to you."
The young man squatted down in front of the girl and solemnly promised: "I will go to the capital to see the snow and red plums for you, and see the world for you, but Ah Zheng, only Fengming Island is my home, and I am also reluctant to leave here, reluctant, you."
The young man's face was as red as the sunset, and he opened his heart to express his intentions, "Ah Zheng, I am pleased with you and want to marry you."
Faced with the sudden confession, the girl was at a loss, but it seemed that she had fulfilled her dreams day and night.
"To make Ah Zheng wait is to waste Ah Zheng's years, but I want to be selfish once, is Ah Zheng willing to wait for me?"
The girl looked at the red-faced young man, and his clear eyes were all about her. Ah Zheng was suddenly stunned, kissed the two thin lips, and said that she was willing.
"Miss, there really is a dragon bone crystal, come and see."
In the distance, there was the call of a Zheng maid, which alarmed the young men and girls who were ignorant and embraced each other by the sea.
In addition to the wind sound like a phoenix singing in the sky, Fengming Island is the most famous dragon bone crystal, and it may not be possible to get one for decades.
The villagers of Fengming Island were overjoyed, and the keel crystal meant that the sky was auspicious and blessed the people, which was auspicious. Everyone felt that Runze was the destined person chosen by the keel crystal.
However, it is impossible for them to own this rare thing alone, and after the imperial court learned about it, they asked for the dragon bone to be paid tribute to the royal family, and Gu Zhixian was responsible for escorting the tribute into Beijing, which must not be mistaken.
That year, the girl said goodbye to her father and her sweetheart, and two months later she received the news that her father had been beheaded, and Runze was nowhere to be found.
Ah Zheng will never forget the indifferent and ruthless eyes of the guards who announced the decree that day, "Gu Zhi County guards steal themselves, anger Tianwei, and punish the nine clans."
"If you don't leave any of the Gu family's dependents, kill them all!"
Ah Zheng was able to escape under the cover of the villagers, and after many inquiries, he learned that it was Yang Taishou's son who stole the keel to show off to his fox friends and dogs, and accidentally broke the keel.
The world is hard, Ah Zheng is just a weak woman, adrift, in those years she can only avoid the pursuit order of the imperial court, while looking for the whereabouts of the unknown Runze.
In order to take revenge, Ah Zheng did not hesitate to become a prostitute.
Later, the girl saw the geese in the desert, the snow in the north, and the red plums in the capital, but there was no longer that blushing young man by her side.
A few years later, Yang Taishou's son died violently, and Yang Taishou's *** family, two hundred and eight people from the Yang family, including a three-month-old baby, were killed.
In the same year, there was also a bloody case in Yangzhou.
The following year, a young magistrate was appointed in Yangzhou, a talent, and I heard that he was an upstart in the imperial court, named Tan Gu.
It was another morning with a gentle breeze and a clear sky, and the people of Yangzhou City welcomed the newly appointed state magistrate. Ah Zheng huddled in the crowd, recognizing the person who haunted her at a glance.
I heard from the people that this adult could have been a big official in the capital, but for some reason he invited himself to Yangzhou City to be an idle official, which is a pity.
Ah Zheng looked at the cold-eyed man with a tall head and a big horse stupidly, and did not recognize each other. In the years that followed, she heard that he was a hegemon, took bribes, brought disaster to the people, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and became the opposite of his original dream.
What Ah Zheng didn't know was that day on the street, high
The man on the first horse also saw her, but he was no longer the good-hearted young man she had picked up and brought home, so he could only fail her, and they were destined not to recognize each other.
When Gu Zhixian was blamed, Tan Runze searched for evidence of Yang Taishou's guilt and caused the disaster of killing, so he simply had mercy on God and spared his life.
However, when he woke up, what he got was the news that Gu Zhixian and the Gu clan had been wiped out, and the long-sealed memories of his life experience hit his limbs like thunder and lightning.
He remembered who he was and where he came from, but what was the use, it was just another shackle on his hateful heart.
Heaven and earth are unkind, with all things as dogs, he endured humiliation and carried the blood of the two tribes and the deep hatred of the two tribes, until he met the man wearing a silver mask under the walls of the capital that night.
Tan Runze had never seen such a person, his silver-white hair was floating in the wind, and the man stood tall in his clothes, like a heavenly immortal who was not contaminated with a trace of dust.
The man offered him an olive branch, and he had no choice but to take it.
He used the name of Tan Gu, gradually emerged in the capital, and his power increased, he cut off the head of Yang Taishou and threw it to the dogs to gnaw, let Yang Taishou's son kneel on the ground and wag his tail to beg for mercy, he destroyed all the enemies, regardless of men, women and children, but he could not feel the pleasure of revenge, and the power also put a dark shackle on his soul, and he will never be freed, boundless sinking.
That man did not let him stay in the capital for a long time, so he came to Yangzhou, and the three princes took pity on him that his talent should not be buried, and took the initiative to get acquainted with him, so he naturally took the line of the three princes and became his subordinate eagle dog.
He has not been contacted since.
Tan Gu is a knife that can only lead to perdition in the end, until he meets the Gu clan again, if he must be executed and tried, only the Gu clan is the only person in his heart who is worthy of being judged and executed.
Tan Gu was locked in the cold prison, and outside the skylight was the desolate moon, and his soulless knife finally reached the end.
Outside the Dali Temple in Yangzhou City, Yu Xi is hidden in the dark, his eyes are sharp, like a night owl. There is no squeamishness at all.
"Senior sister, we must kill Tan Gu before he is escorted into Beijing, when the time comes, there will be no proof of death, and His Royal Highness the Third Prince will still have a chance to live."
A man and a woman walked out of the darkness, it was Wangyue and Rong Shiyi.
Wangyue nodded, "It's damned."
Yu Xi turned his head to look at her, a silver light flashed in his sight, and a sword sealed his throat.
Yu Xi's eyes were wide open, and the pain of disbelief, horror, and betrayal could only be told to Lord Yama.
Rong Shiyi cleanly put the sword into the sheath, without a trace of emotion.
Wangyue looked at his desireless and ruthless appearance, and couldn't help but ask him, "Eleven, how long have you been away from home?"
Family?
Rong Shiyi felt a little strange, what is home? Beijing?
Rong Shiyi felt that the capital was just a place name for him, he had been to many places and carried out countless missions, he didn't like to think, and he didn't want to think about the meaning of home.
"It doesn't matter." He replied.
Only Wangyue's sigh was left in the night.
