Chapter 40: Joy and Sorrow

Kai looked at the person sitting next to him, and felt indescribable in his heart, as happy as a man who had not drunk water for many days and suddenly found a source of water, but this water was salty and salty, and he could not enter it.

His body trembled slightly from this complicated expression, and he stood like a seriously ill bird on a branch, and with a slight shake, he could fall.

Ah Xia stretched out his white and tender little hand, patted his back gently, and said to him: "Ah Niu, things in the world are not so beautiful, and there are some things that we are powerless to change, so we can only let go." ”

Ah Xia said this, looked at the stars in the sky, and said to him: "For this kind of thing, since it can't be changed, then let it go, live with a smile, after all, it's already so bitter, why don't you let go of it?" ”、

Hearing this, Kai sighed deeply, slipped down from the tree, and then lay on the grass, looking at the stars in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

Ah Xia walked to his side and lay down as well, also looking at the stars in the sky, but did not speak.

Kai stretched out his hand and squeezed it forward as if he was about to grasp something, but he withdrew his hand and couldn't grasp anything.

"Axia, thank you, I know that many things are not satisfactory today, all this is the operation of destiny, everything has already been decided, the son of a nobleman will always be a nobleman, the son of a slave will always be a slave, no one can get rid of this fate, and no one wants to get rid of this fate, when I first met her, I already understood that we are people of two worlds after all, and my small wish cannot be achieved."

Ah Xia listened to Qi say these words, and said to him: "In this way, I will play a song for you, but you have to promise me that from now on you will be happy, and you will not have so many worries." Qi didn't answer, and Ah Xia left here and soon came back with a piano.

Ah Xia adjusted the timbre and began to play, the sound of the piano was like a continuous spring rain, with a thousand tenderness to nourish Qi's dry heart.

Qi listened on the side, looking at the hall where Ah Xia was concentrating on playing the piano, he couldn't help but move in his heart, sat up, looked at the stones beside him, and sang with the stones.

After finishing the song, Qi said to Ah Xia, "Why are you so good to me, Ah Xia?" According to your status, you probably don't play songs for me as a slave. ”

"Maybe it's fate, you may not believe it, many people want me to play a tune, and I don't agree. And you were the first to hear me play. When Ah Xia said this, his face flushed, but he soon looked at him sincerely and said: "At first, I just wanted to follow you to find Yuhou, but along the way, my opinion of you has gradually changed, although you are from a humble background, but your character is noble. ”

"You have the money to improve your own life, but you don't, and you give them to other people, which is the most valuable. If all the princes were like you, no matter how great the flood was, there would be nothing to fear. ”

Qi quietly listened to Ah Xia's words, a sad look appeared in his eyes, he sighed deeply, and said to Ah Xia: "It's really thanks to Ah Xia, you are wrong to love, in fact, I am only used to living a poor life, so I will be like this." ”

"Without further ado, I know you've never told me the truth. Your heart is like the nine abysses, unfathomable. When Yu Hou can see you, he must also see your extraordinary. When Ah Xia said this, he said to him again: "It's not early, rest early, the last thing I can tell you is that that person is about to be betrothed to Boyi, just when Marquis Yu ascends the throne." ”

After Ah Xia finished speaking, he stood up and patted Qi's shoulder. Ah Xia could feel that Qi's shoulders were already very stiff, she couldn't say anything more, words were useless, and the rest was only for him to overcome.

Qi sat there blankly, like a wooden man, he didn't know when he got up, when he left Miao Mountain, and when he woke up from the cold river water, he found that he was covered in bruises, and his clothes were also hung by bush branches. He was unconscious of all this, he looked at the river, he took his fairly delicate face, and wanted to cry, but he couldn't. I wanted to scream loudly, but I couldn't make any sound.

He looked at himself, confused and overwhelmed, and he staggered again, not knowing where he was headed.

I don't know how long I walked, I don't know how far I walked, but when Qi saw the scene in front of him, he had already arrived at Nanping Mountain, in front of the stone.

Kai knelt on the ground again, all the sadness, sadness, helplessness and resentment welled up in his heart, he cried loudly, cried and cried, he laughed again, laughed with tears, like a madman.

Crying until tears and laughing until he was hoarse, he finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.

In his daze, he seemed to see a sound and shadow, and he stretched out his hands to grasp something, but in the end he didn't catch anything.

The autumn wind blew towards Qi with a hint of coolness, Qi slowly opened his eyes, he found the hole flute he had hidden, and played it whimpering, the sound of the flute was full of sadness and grief.

When I finished playing and opened my eyes, I saw an unexpected person.

Bai Lan stood there quietly, looking at Qi with a sad gaze, Qi wrapped the dong flute in a cloth again, hid it under the stone, and said to Bai Lan, "Madam, why are you here." ”

"Because someone saw you come here in despair, so I came, how are you doing this year?"

Qi said respectfully: "It's okay, thank you Madame for worrying." Is the Sixth Marquis also here? ”

Bai Lan shook her head and whispered to him, "Kai, don't you mention him again, okay?" It was only in this year that I realized that once things change, there is no going back. If a bird becomes a fish, it is no longer a bird. ”

Qi didn't say anything, just respectfully Bai Lan and said, "Miss Bai Lan, it's bitter cold in the mountains, be careful of catching a cold, let's go back to the city and talk about it." ”

Bai Lan and Qi left Nanping Mountain together, and Bai Lan also slowly told what happened to her this year.

After being sent to the city by Fairy Shu, Bai Lan quickly found the city lord and asked the city lord to inform Boyi about being captured by Fairy Shu. The city lord also knew that Boyi was a disciple of Marquis Yu, so he quickly sent a message to Boyi.

Boyi and the Sixth Marquis also arrived in the city and saw Bai Lan, Bo Yi went to find Qi, and Bai Lan and the Sixth Marquis went to Emperor Mountain together.

But when they arrived at Emperor Mountain, they learned that Marquis Yu had disappeared, and everyone scattered to look for it.

Bai Lan also went to the Dragon Kingdom of the East China Sea with the Sixth Marquis, where they lived for three months. Bai Lan didn't go into detail in these three months, and Qi Neng felt that Bai Lan was not doing very well.

The aristocracy is very particular about their origins, especially the Dragon Kingdom, a country that was once canonized by Emperor Xuanyuan.

Bai Lan finally left the Dragon Kingdom and left the Sixth Marquis.

Speaking of this, Bai Lan looked at him and said, "Kai, you know what? I was very happy when I was with Ao Lie, he was elegant and polite, and he was the son I fantasized about since I was a child. But," Bai Lan said this, biting her red lips lightly, and said to Qi, "But when I found that when I left him, I was just a little sad, and I didn't have much reluctance. And you are different, I panicked when the man took you away, I was afraid that I would never see you again. ”

Bai Lan took a deep breath, and then said again: "When I was in the Dragon Kingdom, I kept asking myself in my heart, who do I really want? ”

"Miss Bailan, please forgive me for your courage to say, what you like is naturally the Sixth Marquis, but the people of the Dragon Kingdom pay too much attention to their identity, which makes you feel uncomfortable, I think as long as the Sixth Marquis can help you recover your identity, you are still the lady of the daughter country, and everyone in the Dragon Kingdom will still accept you."

"No, Kai, if I really like the Sixth Marquis, I won't care what those people say, just like if I came back here. It's a kind of courage, and I know it's not me that you like. But Kai, you should know how I feel. If you can be with that fairy, will you be able to give up everything and ignore what other people say? ”

These words pierced Kai's heart like a sharp thorn, and he felt a little difficult to breathe again, as if someone had a hand on his neck.

It took him a long time to calm down, and he said to Bai Lan: "I just admire that fairy, I don't have any liking, I don't deserve it." But Miss Bailan, you are my honored guest, no matter how long you want to stay in Taoze City, you can do it. ”

"Then I'm going to marry you, will you marry me?" Bai Lan mustered up the courage to finally say this.

This year, she finally understood what she wanted, in Tao Zecheng, she would always think of the days with Qi, those days made her heart sometimes sweet, sometimes sentimental.

Qi didn't answer directly, but said to Bai Lan: "I hope Miss Bai Lan can think about this matter, this kind of thing can't be joked, as for the little one, the little one has never refused any request from Miss Bai Lan." ”

"Wedding?" Such a word suddenly popped up in Qi's heart, and he felt sad again in his heart, and he seemed to be unable to grasp things anymore if he wanted to grasp them.

Bai Lan nodded, and after the two returned to the city, they saw a ranger running over and said to Bai Lan: "Miss Bai Lan, you are here, the sixth marquis has been looking for you for a long time." ”

Bai Lan looked at the ranger with a complicated expression, thought for a while and said, "Where is the sixth marquis now?" I have something I want to talk to him. ”

"In the post house, the girl please, since the girl left, the sixth marquis sent someone to look for you like crazy, this is finally found, thank God."

Qi followed behind Bai Lan, looking at Bai Lan's figure, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes.

Bai Lan's appearance is no worse than the fairies that Qi saw, such a beauty, Qi always thought that he would not marry him, but now Bai Lan said that he wanted to marry him, and he was at a loss for a while.
