Chapter 61: Zilong's Past
However, Jiang Qi and the others did not disturb the gathering of the two brothers, but it did not mean that no one bothered. No, as soon as the two brothers Zhao Yun spoke for a while, there was a shout outside.
"Second brother, second brother," With the voice, a teenager hurriedly ran in from outside the courtyard. The person who came looked around, and finally locked on to his target next to Zhao Feng.
"Second brother, you want to die!"
Looking at the excited young man, Zhao Yun's eyes showed joy, and he quickly stepped forward and patted the person on the shoulder and said, "Xiahoulan, haha、、, I didn't expect to be much stronger in a few years!" It's also a lot darker, and in the days when the clouds are not there, did those boys in the next village still bully you! ”
"It's been a long time, now I'm practicing with my eldest brother, don't talk about a few boys, even if they come here, they're not my opponents, and now they have to call me brother when they see me."
"Yes, yes, it's promising!"
"But second, second brother, Lan is useless, and he failed to complete what his brother explained." This Zhao Yun just finished the performance, but he didn't expect Xiahou Lan to change his words, and suddenly prostrate on the ground to plead guilty.
"Xiaolan, what are you doing?" Faced with an unexpected scene, Zhao Yun hurriedly picked up Xia Houlan, who was already red and swollen in her eyes, and asked, "What is there to say?" ”
Being made fuss by Xiahou Lan, Zhao Feng also remembered an important matter, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Lanzi has something to say later, the second brother has just come back." ”
For Zhao Yun's support, Xiahou Lan, who was prostrate, did not accept it, and ignored Zhao Feng, who hurriedly signaled to him, and said directly: "Miss Fan is married, 、、、."
"What, Fan'er!" Zhao Yun, who was still puzzled by his brother's words, was stunned as soon as he heard Xia Houlan's words. He took a deep breath, his eyes were red and swollen, and he asked, "When did it happen?" ”
Looking at Zhao Yun's sadness, Zhao Feng was also uncomfortable. Seeing that things were like this, he no longer concealed it and confessed: "Last year and at the end of the year, I married a big family in the city. At that time, Xiaolan still went to stop the team to welcome relatives, but who are we, how can we carry it with that big family. By the time I learned that I had gone, Xiaolan had almost been beaten to death by the family who was welcoming her relatives, and she had been raised at home for a month before she got better. ”
Zhao Feng patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder and said persuasively: "Second brother, don't blame Miss Fan, she has come to the house every day since you left to do housework. At that time, my brother thought that she would be my Zhao family's daughter-in-law in the future, but unfortunately God made people. There is no news that you are gone, his father can't bear the bride price of the big family, and Miss Fan doesn't want to! ”
Listening to his brother's persuasion, Zhao Yunbei started from his heart, and the happy scenes of his childhood kept coming to his mind. That's their childhood sweetheart, two little guesses, but unfortunately everything is in smoke now. Fan Er, who follows him every day and says that he wants to marry him when he grows up, can only appear in dreams now.
After half a ring, Zhao Yun asked with a self-deprecating smile, "Is she okay、、、"
"How good would it be to marry someone who could be her father." Xia Houlan stalked and said.
"Maybe it's providence?" Facing his lover, Zhao Yun could only look up at the sky and sigh.
In the face of sudden sadness, the joy of seeing relatives was diluted. Zhao Yun also became sullen, and he drank a lot of wine that night, which had always restrained himself. Now he can only anesthetize himself with wine, only in this way can he forget the distant love.
、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
Following. At the beginning of the morning, Jiang Qi, who was sleeping fragrantly, was suddenly woken up. Rubbing his hazy eyes, it turned out to be his junior brother Zhao Yun who greeted him and asked him to go out.
Shaking his head to cheer up, Jiang Qi slowly grabbed the clothes next to the bed, looked at Zhang Fei, who was still snoring, and pulled up the quilt next to him to cover him.
Last night, because there were not many guest rooms, a few people could only squeeze into one room. The cramped couch squeezed and squeezed into the sleep with some backache.
Looking at his brother who was still asleep, Jiang Qi tiptoed out of the room. He took a deep breath of fresh air, looked at the hazy morning light and moved his body casually.
After refreshing himself a little, Jiang Qi looked at his junior brother who had not slept all night and was a little haggard, and then stepped forward and sat side by side on the steps in front of the house. Now that he didn't know how to persuade him, he patted his junior brother on the shoulder, hoping to explain his position: "Do you want to die or live?" ”
Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, he knew very well what his senior brother meant. But this is already the case, even if the other party's family is wiped out, it can't change the current status quo, and it is impossible for him to go back to the beginning.
At the end, Zhao Yun said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Senior brother said that I laughed, Zilong wanted to let senior brother and me go to the city, Yun thought about it all night, this matter should still be settled, and it is not in vain that Yun met her."
As soon as he heard Zhao Yun's words, how could the so smart Jiang Qi not know what he meant, and immediately said, "Zilong wants Qi to go to her?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded and took out a sachet from his arms. Jiang Qi has also seen this sachet, and Jiang Qi has been seeing him with him since the two met. I didn't think it turned out to be a token of love.
"This was given by her when she was on the mountain in the clouds, and now that it is like this, there is no point in keeping it, please trouble Senior Brother Dai Zilong to return it."
Jiang Qi looked at Zhao Yun's reluctant gaze, and didn't want to inquire about their past. After all, everyone has some secrets in their hearts that they don't want people to know.
Sighing and patting Zhao Yun again, Jiang Qi said, "Since I have decided to be a brother, I won't say anything." Let's go, the judgment will continue to suffer from the chaos, and I believe that with your ability, you will find a lover who truly belongs to you. Today, my brother also wants to see what kind of strange woman makes Zilong so sad. ”
After chatting, the two brothers did not inform the others, but quietly took their mounts and walked towards the city. It's just that when they disappeared at the door, they didn't notice that a sighing Zhao Feng came out of a corner of the house.
Zhao Zhuang is not very far from Zhending City, and the mount is fast, so he can see the city wall with a stick of incense. Because the two of them came a little early, the city gate had not yet been opened, so Zhao Yun took this opportunity to ask the villagers who were going to enter the city how to get there.
The address he got from Xia Houlan was very detailed, and although it had not been true for many years, it didn't take long for Zhao Yun to determine where it was.
Soon the quaint gate of the confined city slowly opened with a screeching sound, and a beam of morning light immediately shot out of the doorway. Seeing this scene, Zhao Yun suddenly felt as if the things that had plagued him all night suddenly became clear with this scene.
Now that it has become a fact, he has also seen it, and the only thing left now may be to hope that his former lover can be happy.
As he looked away, Zhao Yun also let go of his melancholy greetings and drove into the city. Soon, the two brothers came to a street located in the south of the city, and looked at Zhao Yun, the most magnificent mansion in the street, and calmed down, thinking that it seems that this family is quite snobbish in Zhending, and Fan Er should also be able to worry about food and clothing, which is much better than following him.
Seeing that the junior brother was still reluctant, as the senior brother, Jiang Qi was ready to make the decision for him, turned over and dismounted, and was ready to step forward to call the door. But just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Qi was pulled by Zhao Yun, who was following closely, and with his fingers, Jiang Qi looked at a young woman who had just gone out.
The woman was only twenty-eight years old, dressed in a pale yellow dress, with beautiful hair coiled up on the top of her head, and two exquisite sways on the bun swaying gently with her steps, very beautiful.
Jiang Qi saw the woman's face clearly, and then he understood why the junior brother was so infatuated with the woman. This woman has a good-looking goose egg face, a pink and fair face, two curved distant mountain eyebrows, a warped Yao nose, and a cherry mouth, which makes people have infinite reverie at a glance.
It's a pity that a pair of spiritless eyes make Jiang Qi feel that she is just a soulless shell now.
Just as Jiang Qi was looking at the woman, the woman had already sat in the carriage prepared on the side. In the sound of ticking horses' hooves, the carriage passed by them and walked into the distance, and at this moment, Jiang Qi found that a crystal in the eyes of his junior brother Zhao Yun on the side slipped from his face.
According to Zhao Yun's wishes, Jiang Qi resolutely took the sachet in his hand and followed, ready to be a villain. Jiang Qi followed all the way, and soon the carriage stopped in front of a Taoist temple, and looked at the Taoist temple where the incense was not particularly vigorous, Jiang Qi remembered his experience of learning Taoism.
After thinking about it, Jiang Qi shook his head and smiled, and hurriedly followed and walked into the Taoist temple.
After following for a long time, Jiang Qi never found a chance to answer. To be honest, he hasn't usually had much contact with women. Now I'm really a little timid and don't dare to go up and talk.
Fortunately, after the woman ordered her subordinates to leave and enter a pavilion for pilgrims to rest, Jiang Qi's opportunity came.
"Can the girl sit down?" Jiang Qi tidied up his appearance, and stepped forward with a pretended smile and said to this sad cold beauty.
Suddenly disturbed, Fan glanced at Jiang Qi with his eyes in annoyance, and immediately classified him as a prodigal son, and then replied without raising his head and colorlessly: "Little woman, it seems that I don't know my son."
Looking at Fan, who was not interested in him, Jiang Qi felt like he had been hit. Shrugged helplessly, took out the sachet directly from his sleeve and said, "I don't know the girl below, but I was entrusted by the old man to return a thing to the girl."
Seeing what Jiang Qi put on the table, Fan, who was originally spiritless, bounced up as if he had been struck by lightning. She originally seemed to see through the world, she grabbed the sachet and asked eagerly: "This, this, why does the son have this thing, the second brother, and others."
Although Jiang Qi didn't have a good impression of Fan in his heart, he couldn't be malicious when he saw her so anxious now. said casually: "Since Yun Rang handed over this thing on his behalf, the girl should have guessed what the situation was, right?" ”
Hearing Jiang Qi's words, Fan Shi was a little dizzy, sat down on the stone bench for a while, and asked in a choked voice for a long time: "Is the second brother okay?" ”
"Senior brother, he is very good, two months ago, I waited for my senior brother to go out of the mountain together. Zilong got the true inheritance of his master in the mountains, and he could also complete the revenge in his heart, but unfortunately now he has lost the most important thing! ”
"It's good to know that the second brother is fine, it is the little woman who has failed him, and I hope that the day he becomes famous, there will be better people to share with him. Please ask the son-in-law to tell the second brother about the little wife, so that he can forget about the little woman! I also hope that he can make achievements as soon as possible, and the little woman will pray for him. ”
Facing the poor Fan, Jiang Qi suddenly understood that there might be an inside story, and he couldn't bear to look at this pair of hard-working people, and said softly and kindly: "Does the girl want to see Zilong?" He's just looking outside."
Although Fan really wanted to meet the person he loved day and night, in the end, his impulse was defeated by reason. Immediately said resentfully: "That's it." What can you do, can you change the fact that the little woman thinks she is another woman? At that time, it will only increase the sadness", after saying that, Fan got up and staggered out of the pavilion with the sachet.
Looking at Fan's thin figure, the lost pace. A poem suddenly appeared in Jiang Qi's mind, and he couldn't help but read silently: 'It's difficult to say goodbye when we meet, the east wind is powerless and a hundred flowers are left, the spring silkworm is dead to the end, the wax torch turns into gray tears and begins to dry, Xiaojing but the clouds and temples change, the night chant should feel the cold moonlight, Pengshan has no way to go, and the blue bird is diligent to visit. ’
Fan, who was already far away, suddenly heard Jiang Qi's poems, paused for a moment, tasted the slightly sad verses, and tears couldn't help but fall out of his eyes.
Seeing that the Fan family was far away, Jiang Qi shook his head, since the task was completed, there was no need for him to stay any longer, and went out to find the panicked Zhao Yun and told the scene just now.
After listening to Jiang Qi's explanation, Zhao Yun looked at the Taoist temple deeply for a long time, and only after half a ring did he turn around and get on the horse and leave. At the same time, when he turned around, he said a word that only he could hear, 'Fan Er cherishes 、、、、、'
And at this moment, Fan, who was listening to the movement in the Taoist temple, waited until he could no longer hear the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. only turned out from behind the gate, and now her tears have long been drained, and she can only silently look at the back of her former lover and silently bless it.
This pair of lovers who are destined to have no part, although they met by chance later. But it failed to change their fate, and then when Zhao Yun returned to his true fate, he faced a cold clear grave, and all this seemed to be their fate.
