When I was fourteen years old, I was beside my father, who pointed to a handsome but somewhat thin young man and said to me, "Morning and dusk, this is your future husband." I looked at the boy in front of me, who was dressed plainly, with his head bowed, and he looked even weaker. I walked up to him, but he stepped back and hurriedly saluted me, "Princess." "I took his arm and tried to get him up, I don't like him to salute me all the time, so I can't see his face, I can't see his face, I don't know if he is beautiful or not, if he is not beautiful, I must ask my father to change me with a husband. But when I ran into him, I noticed that he was a little shaky. I asked, "Do you feel cold?" He suddenly looked up, his eyes full of surprise. I looked at him and smiled, because he was really beautiful.

With a white face, big eyes, and thick eyebrows, he looks gentle and elegant. I took off my shawl and draped it over him, and he was probably too surprised to move, so I let me put the shawl embroidered with pink begonia flowers on him. Behind him, there was my father's hearty laughter: "It seems that you like Huaiyu very much, so it's good, but I have a wish." I turned my head and saw my father's loving smile, and I laughed too, and I took the hand of the young man in front of me and ran out. Outside the palace, it was snowing like goose feathers......

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of that year, the snow was flying, and under the fireworks and candles, the former plain-clothed young man dressed in a red costume rolled up my hair and inserted a heavy golden phoenix hairpin into my hair. It was the continuation of what I thought was happiness, but it was the beginning of real tragedy.

Chu Yun is indeed a good businessman, taking advantage of the jealousy of men to pit Chu Zhilan to the extreme. More and more people from Jicheng came to Feng Ya Ge, just to see who the strange person was who made the first beauty of Jicheng feel blatantly moved. Although Chu Zhilan danced dazzling swordsmanship in a group of men full of jealousy, the result attracted applause, because he was indeed too handsome! The girls of Feng Yage are no longer willing to spend time serving those old men who have nothing special except for more money, which makes the guest officials unhappy, so they naturally take out more silver to please the girls. What's more, holding a heavy gold and silver ingot, he found Chu Zhilan arrogantly and asked him to dance for himself and the girl who served him alone. Jicheng is the intersection of Ningguo and Yunjiang on the southwest border, and trade is frequent, and the rich lord is indeed a big handful. Watching Chu Yun pull the abacus every day until his hands were soft, and Chu Zhilan walked around in front of me with ingots all day long, I fell into a big thought in life: I don't know if the masters of these two people still accept apprentices.

I was an idler, I wrote in the house every day, played with the girls who had no guests, listened to them talk about the gossip of the celebrities in Jicheng, and secretly drank two pots when I was interested, and gambled for money, although I would be caught by Chu Zhilan every time and take me out of the girls' house. He didn't seem to like me staying in the house, and always took me out to hang out in Jicheng. But since I saw Qin Zhun outside last time, I am terrified every time I go out, but Jicheng is really an interesting place, and I will wander around happily after going out for a while, and at this time I will be very grateful to Chu Zhilan who brought me out, because he has money.

Back at Feng Ya Ge, it was close to dusk, and there were more guests at this time. No one wants to watch the sword dance at night, but Miss Arlene's singing voice is the most beautiful scene in Jicheng at night. I sat at the back of the stage and watched Arlene in a gorgeous costume sitting there, her posture enchanting and her tactful singing voice. The spacious guest officers sitting in front of the stage closed their eyes and shook their heads with the melodious rhythm, which was really comfortable! I secretly took a pot of wine and drank it, and before I knew it, I was dizzy from drinking, and at this moment, I saw a man dressed in white walk in the door, and the lights were dim at night, and I was too far away from the stage to see clearly, but the quiet and calm pace shook my heart. I don't know why, my body couldn't move at half. I saw him look at the guest officers around him and then at Arlene on the stage, but he didn't stop his searching gaze. Until, that gaze was fixed on me.

When I saw him coming towards me quickly, I lifted my spirits and turned to leave, but it was too late. That's right, it's already too late.

He grabbed my arm and easily removed the veil that covered my face, and he was taken aback: "Morning and twilight? Is it really you? You're really not dead? "I was flustered, and subconsciously searched for Chu Zhilan's figure around, this guy, catch me drinking, I really encountered something, and there was no one! Qin Zhun couldn't help me struggle, and pulled me away. When I came outside the house to find a quiet place, he stopped, but his grip on me still didn't let go.

I calmed down and said to him as calmly as I could, "Qin Zhun, you let me go." He froze and let go of my hand, "Twilight, you, your throat?" ”

I don't know if the wind at night was too strong, and it blinded my eyes, and I only felt that the person in front of me was gradually blurring, "Throat? Qin Zhun, you also said just now, I even live is something you didn't expect, what is it if I have a bad throat, of course, even if I really die, it is nothing. I stared at him and continued, "Especially for you. You should know that Qi Yucheng is looking for me, what? Aren't you going to give me to him? I will fulfill you, don't hesitate, take me away, isn't it your and his common wish to kill me with your own hands? ”

He looked at me and smiled, "Twilight, you're still you." I won't take you to see Qi Yucheng, because I said to him personally, 'Give up, Xu Chaowan is dead.'" But guess what he said? He shook his head and said helplessly: "He said, 'To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses.'" ’”

"Xu Chaodui, don't you understand?" He asked.

"I don't understand." I replied simply, "I never understood, what did he want me to understand by treating me like this?" It's ridiculous. ”

Qin Zhun looked up at the night sky, "He is indeed ridiculous, but he is not the only one who is ridiculous in this world." ”

"What? Do you regret it? Then Lin Yuxiang is not to the taste of your sullen literati? Otherwise, why did you come alone to visit the flower building in the remote place of the southwest frontier? ”

Speaking of this, his face became extremely ugly, and he suddenly approached me, "Chaodui, I am indeed sorry for you, but I never thought that I would let you fall so far, no matter what, you can't stay here, I said, I won't tell Qi Yucheng, I can do what I say, let me take you away, just be," his eyes moved slightly, "It should be my compensation to you, so that my conscience can be at ease." ”

I looked up at him for a moment, grinned, and then laughed out loud. I saw that he was still stunned and looked at me in amazement, and hurriedly pushed him away. Forcefully block Chu Zhilan, who was swinging a dagger at him, "Hey! Ay! Chu Zhilan! This guy can't be killed! ”

Chu Zhilan in front of him was ruthless, he glared at me, I was immediately frightened, I saw him show such a look for the first time, but I still hugged his arm tightly, afraid that he would kill Qin Zhun in excitement.

He glanced at Qin Zhun, who was pale with fright as he fell to the ground, put away his dagger, and the cruel eyes he had just now were gone. He suddenly turned to me, put his hand on my forehead, and said to me like a teacher reprimanding a student: "I see that you have healed your scars and forgotten the pain, and you are too willful, you are feverish, and you can't feel it yourself?" I honestly shook my head, like a student who had really made a mistake and was caught, "I thought I was drinking, so it felt a little hot......"

"Don't talk about this, Chu Zhilan, you go back first, I'll send this guy away first." After listening to me, Chu Zhilan's face darkened even more. He stood with his hands folded on his chest, not intending to leave, and I kept glancing at him, but he kept his head down as if he didn't see it, as if waiting for me to hurry up and settle the matter.

I walked up to Qin Zhun, squatted down, and stretched out my hand. His face was still pale, his eyes were erratic, and he looked at my outstretched hand, hesitating, and finally holding it. I pulled him up with a lot of force.

"Qin Zhun, I only listened to half of what you said today, remember what you said, and I won't tell Qi Yucheng."

When he heard this, he hurriedly replied, "I won't." ”

I nodded, "The other half of the words are for Xu Chaowan in the past." I dragged the handkerchief that was still in his hand, covered my face, and then stared into his eyes, "Now, Xu Chaowan is dead, and those words are meaningless." ”

I turned around and walked towards Chu Zhilan, and Qin Zhun suddenly stopped me: "Morning and dusk!" ”

I didn't look back, looking at Chu Zhilan who was standing there with my head down in the night, I laughed,

"Qin Zhun, there is a limit to the water-based poplar flower, the beauty you like is already in your arms, isn't it good to cherish the present?"

He replied: "Chaodui, you know that I am not like this, I came to Jicheng this time just to find a place away from the high hall to relax, I didn't want to meet you on the street, I thought you must be dead, I thought I saw the wrong person," Speaking of this, he laughed at himself a little choked: "But when I found myself wandering aimlessly in Jicheng for several days, I realized that I was looking forward to you alive." ”

"And how do you feel now that you know I'm alive?"

"Relieved, morning and twilight, I'm relieved."

It turns out that I have experienced the test of life and death, survived with difficulty, and in the end, is it just to let you go? Why? Yin Yin, you have hurt me so much. I looked up and held back my tears.

"It's good to be relieved, that's the best ending, isn't it?" I took a deep breath and let myself be as calm as possible and said: "It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to know each other, Huaihe, let's never see each other again." ”

I wanted to leave the scene in a chic manner after speaking, but I saw Chu Zhilan on the other side raising his head and looking at me, his eyes were dark

。 Suddenly remembering the fierce look in his eyes when he was about to kill Qin Junshi just now, I knew that it was Chu Zhilan that I had never seen before. But so what, whatever he was, right now, right now, right now, right now, he's there. I lowered my head to wipe the tears from my face, and I heard him call me: "Qingyi, it's not early, it's time to go back." ”

I let out an "oh" and cautiously moved to his side, just about to reach out to pull him, but he turned and left, and I threw myself into the air, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Red lanterns, red quilts, red candlesticks. In the festive palace, I was the only one, and the heavy golden phoenix hairpin was worn on my hair, which gave me a headache. It's lonely, it's empty, but who am I waiting for? I lifted my red hijab and threw it on the ground, and walked out of the palace, where it was snowing heavily. The snow is especially dark at night. I stepped on the snow, step by step, making a "squeak" and "squeak" sound.

Yes! It's beautiful. I lay down and let the snowflakes bury me. It was so cold in the snow, I shivered, but I didn't want to get up.

It's not bad if you fall asleep like this. I thought so.

"Qingyi?" A woman's voice reached my ears.

It's weird, who is she calling? Who is Qingyi? Are you calling me? Is my name Qingyi? By the way, what's my name? Ah, I'm so tired, I don't want to think, can't you let me sleep?

"Qingyi, Qingyi, Qingyi......"

I opened my eyes and found that the snow around me had disappeared, and I was not lying in the snow, but on the bed, and under the dim light in the house, I looked at the person in front of me for a long time.

"Sister Feng Yu, why are you here?" I said in a daze, I wanted to sit up, but I didn't have the energy, I just felt that I couldn't stop shivering, so cold, so cold.

"Feng Yu, do you still have a quilt? I'm so cold......"

She held my hand, stroked my forehead, and whispered, "I've covered you with a very thick quilt, and you will feel cold when you burn badly." ”

How did Chu Yun become so gentle, I think there must be something wrong, if I really burned badly, is the end coming? "Feng Yu, am I going to die, are you afraid that I will be sad so gently to me?"

Chu Yun shook off my hand and yelled at someone, "Why hasn't the Death Ghost come yet?" Where is he? Tell him he's dying! If he doesn't come back, I'll throw his woman into a mass grave and feed the dogs! ”

Oh, look at you, what are you angry about, you can't retain some last tenderness for the dying.

I heard the sound of the door opening, and Chu Zhilan's face was vaguely imprinted in my eyes. I stretched out my arm and felt a pair of wide, cold hands holding my hand, and I smiled: "Chu Zhilan, your junior sister was gentle with me just now, did you say that I was going to die to see this scene." ”

He didn't speak, but his grip tightened with my hand. Suddenly, I felt a chill in my throat, and I heard Chu Yun shouting in shock: "Chu Zhilan! Are you crazy? I looked down and a dagger was against my throat, the sharp blade pointed at me. I've seen Chu Zhilan kill people with a dagger, so I know that as long as I move a little, I may immediately rush to Huangquan.

When I looked at him, I could only see the scar on the left side of his face, and he turned his face sideways and whispered in my ear: "Qingyi, you don't want to die, you want to die." "I was stunned.

"Qingyi, tell me, if you really think about all this, then, I can help you now." As I spoke, the coldness in my throat deepened.

His tone was calm, but I could hear the deep stillness of his heart, and I couldn't see his eyes, because I knew he was trying to avoid my gaze.

My body was getting colder, and the uncontrollable shivering almost took away all my strength. I struggled to control my chattering teeth and prevent myself from biting my tongue when I spoke.

"Don't be afraid." I say.

The coldness under his throat suddenly relaxed. Chu Zhilan raised her head and looked at me, her eyes were unexpectedly surprised.

"I won't let you hide in the mountains and old forests alone anymore." I pulled his shirt over him, leaned against his chest, exhaled deeply, and said, "Don't you think about it." ”
