Chapter 354: Drinking the parting wine
Knowing the autumn meaning on the shore of the autumn lake,
Knowing the autumn cold in the autumn pavilion.
Zhiqiu has accompanied Zhiqiu to go,
Zhiqiu has not seen Zhiqiu.
Finally, she still followed Ruan Haoyang, this decision was made very suddenly, or rather, it made everyone feel very sudden.
When Shao Xi realized that something was wrong, it was too late, Lao Wu was so anxious that he slapped his thigh, at this time he finally knew what the faint worry in his heart was just now, but at this time, it was too late, it was just an afterthought.
After Ye Zhiqiu jumped into the lake, the awning boat left behind was spinning in the lake alone, and all the people on the shore were stunned, and the first person to react was the owner of the awning boat.
He hurriedly called the boat next to him and hurried towards the center of the lake, he was not worried about his boat, they were going to rush over to save people, but unfortunately it was too late at this time.
No wonder Ye Zhiqiu wanted to drive everyone off the boat just now, and rocked the boat to the center of the lake alone, because only in this way would no one stop her from throwing herself into the lake, and everyone would not have time to save her after throwing herself into the lake.
She was determined to die and wanted to go on the road with Ruan Haoyang, she was so resolute and so duty-bound! Perhaps for her, this is the only way she can get close to Nguyen Haoyang now.
No one knows what she was thinking at the moment she sank to the bottom of the lake, maybe at that moment, her mind would flash every moment when she was with Ruan Haoyang before; Maybe at that moment, her heart was extremely happy, because she could finally be separated from Ruan Haoyang again.
How fortunate is she? met Ruan Haoyang at the most tragic time in her life, and it was Ruan Haoyang who saved her, comforted her, took care of her, and let her come out of the unbearable past.
Ruan Haoyang gave her the warmest tenderness in the world and let her experience the most precious happiness in the world, but it was only four years, only four short years.
On weekdays, Ruan Haoyang never told her about himself, but in the past four years, she knew from the bits and pieces of the conversation that he also had a painful past, but he had always hidden these things deep in his heart.
He didn't want Ye Zhiqiu to feel sorry for him and worry about him, so he stuffed his pain and Ye Zhiqiu's pain into his heart together, and what he gave Ye Zhiqiu was always that smile like a warm sun.
In the past four years, Ruan Haoyang has carried everything, just so that Ye Zhiqiu can have the most precious happiness and sweetest love in this world, but it is only four years, only four short years.
However, four years is enough for Ye Zhiqiu, what she has gained in these four years, what she has is the most precious in this world, which others may not be able to get and have in her life, she is very satisfied!
So, she went with him.
Maybe in another world, she can be replaced to take good care of Ruan Haoyang, so that he can let go of all the pain and hatred in his heart, and the two of them can truly live together without obstacles, without a painful past, without family hatred, without fear and worry.
Maybe you can really make all the unpleasantness disappear, just be happily together, and never be separated again!
Nguyen Hao Yang! It is the only light in her life, and now she finally follows that light, without regrets and without hesitation!
Almost all the boats docked on the shore of Zhiqiu Lake rushed to the center of the lake, and all the boatmen took turns to go into the water to look for Ye Zhiqiu but there was no result, the only thing they picked up was the bright red hijab, which was the last and only thing that Ye Zhiqiu left in this world.
Everyone spent a whole day in the middle of the lake, and all the boatmen were so tired that they couldn't swim anymore, and they sat on the boat one by one and hung their heads.
They knew that it was impossible to rescue Ye Zhiqiu anymore, but now they couldn't even find the corpse, which really made everyone feel unwilling.
Seeing that the sky was about to darken, it was no longer possible to go into the water to salvage, and it was only at this time that someone remembered that they could pull a fishing net at the downstream outlet of this lake, and maybe when Ye Zhiqiu's body would float with the current to the outlet of Zhiqiu Lake.
But now the problem is, where to find such a large net? Without a large enough net, it would be impossible to fill all the outlets, and it would be impossible to avoid Ye Zhiqiu's body being washed up in the middle and lower reaches of the Guping River.
Shao Xi, who heard this idea, immediately decided to collect all the fishing nets in Zhiqiu Town, and spent silver money to hire people to make large nets overnight, and be sure to pull the nets at the outlet of Zhiqiu Lake early tomorrow morning.
There are indeed few problems in this world that money can't solve, because Shao Xi is really generous, all the fishing nets in the town have been taken out, and the people who can weave nets are also concentrated on the shore of Zhiqiu Lake, and a group of people are huge, and they began to weave an unprecedented big net lively.
The more people there are, the more money you spend, but the more people you have, it's really easy to do, but overnight, a big net that made Shao Xi stunned was finally weaved, and several boats dragged this big net in parallel to the outlet of the lower reaches of Zhiqiu Lake.
A whole row of boats completely pulled this large net at the junction between Zhiqiu Lake and the middle reaches of the Guping River, and at the same time, the salvage in the middle of the lake was still going on, and everyone was trying their best to find Ye Zhiqiu's body.
At the same time, Shao Xi was handling Ruan Haoyang's burial.
From the time he took his breath to now, it has been three days in terms of days, and according to local customs, the funeral in summer cannot exceed three days, so Shao Xi arranged for someone to clean up a vacant land where the original Zhiqiu Pavilion was located.
Now that Zhiqiu Pavilion has been burned down by a fire, let's build a cemetery for Ruan Haoyang and Ye Zhiqiu in its original place!
Although Shao Xi knew that it was not proper to build a tomb for civilians in Jingyuan, he still did it.
In addition to building a stone tomb, a small garden was built around the tomb, and he paid someone to replant some small trees, flowers and plants here.
After arranging Ruan Haoyang's burial, another stone tomb was built next to Ruan Haoyang's stone tomb, which was prepared for Ye Zhiqiu.
Shao Xi instructed the mayor of Zhiqiu Town that if Ye Zhiqiu's body was found in the future, he would be buried here, and he and Ruan Haoyang would continue to live together in this Zhiqiu Pavilion.
Ruan Haoyang's turquoise long sword was originally supposed to be buried with him as a burial object, but Shao Xi did not arrange to be buried with Ruan Haoyang.
Shao Xi felt that he had been bent on quitting the rivers and lakes to stay away from these grievances, but now that he could finally leave the rivers and lakes, why did he need to take this sword with him? Didn't he himself once say in a poem that he was "willing to exchange Qingfeng for wine money"?
Therefore, what Shao Xi used to bury Ruan Haoyang was the best Huadiao aging wine in Mengyuxuan in this town, and it was regarded as a beautiful bar in exchange for this sword!
Shao Xi inserted his sword next to Ruan Haoyang's tombstone, and he sat facing the tombstone, placing the two jars of wine he bought in front of the tombstone.
He opened the wine jar and held the wine to his chest with both hands, and said to Ruan Haoyang's tombstone: "Brother Ruan, you and I met in the wine shop, and we drank happily, now that my brother is leaving, I will drink with Brother Ruan again before leaving." ”
After speaking, Shao Xi sprinkled the wine in the jar in front of Ruan Haoyang's monument, and he opened another jar of wine, hugged the jar and drank it, making his face and body full of wine, but Shao Xi had no intention of stopping, he wanted to drink this jar of wine in one go, even if he was drunk.
But while drinking, tears flowed out of the corners of Shao Xi's eyes, I don't know if I was choking on drinking too hard? Shao Xi only knew that he was going to finish the wine, because this might be the last jar of wine he drank with Ruan Haoyang in his life.
A pot of wine in Mengyuxuan,
Two poems of Zhan Yanhuan.
Raise a glass in front of the mound today,
This time it is unique to Farewell Xujun.
Shao Xi drank the wine in the altar cleanly, his face was flushed, and his eyes were full of tears.
Speaking of which, he and Ruan Haoyang have had a very short relationship, strictly speaking, plus the time when Ruan Haoyang entrusted Ye Zhiqiu to him before he died in battle, the two have only met three times in total.
The first two times were poetry and wine, and the last time he entrusted the most important person in his life to himself, but unfortunately he had a negative responsibility and could not help him take care of his most beloved woman.
A common enemy, a similar experience, it is fate that connects the two together, so Ruan Haoyang's death is not looking at Shao Xi's former self? For Ruan Haoyang, Shao Xi empathizes.
When Ye Ziyuan was in danger, if he could be like Ruan Haoyang by Ye Zhiqiu's side, maybe Ye Ziyuan would not have died.
A woman who fought with her life to protect herself, at this point, Shao Xi sighed to herself!
Therefore, Shao Xi's feelings for Ruan Haoyang are very simple, and he both understands and admires Ruan Haoyang's thoughts, thoughts, and actions.
If time can really be turned back, if everything can really be restarted, Shao Xi believes that he will make the same choice as Ruan Haoyang.
Shao Xi took out the red hijab from his waist bag, which was the only relic left by Ye Zhiqiu, spread it out and spread it in front of Ruan Haoyang's tomb, pressed it with Ruan Haoyang's wine jar, got up and bowed deeply to the tombstone in front of him, and couldn't bow for a long time.
"Brother Ruan, I have arranged everything, if they find my sister-in-law, they will bring her to reunite with you, if you really can't find it, let this hijab accompany you! This is proof that the two of you will tie the knot forever, and Mrs. Sister-in-law really loves you!
"I'll keep this sword of yours here, and if you encounter any injustice over there in the future, use it to slay demons and eliminate demons! I hope you will never need it, and I hope that you and your sister-in-law will never be separated over there, and you will be safe and happy.
"Brother is leaving, after all, I also carry too many things on my body, there are too many things to accomplish, you and my brother will say goodbye, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely come to see you again, and then we will drink together."
After speaking, Shao Xi turned around and boarded the boat.
When the boat reached the center of the lake, Shao Xi turned his head to look at Ruan Haoyang's stone tomb, only to see the red hijab swaying in the wind, as if his husband and wife were waving goodbye to him.
