Chapter 70, Lanterns
Summer is coming, but the weather is still unbearable. Chu Luan was also disturbed by the scorching sun, and the relationship between the Du Mansion and the Situ clan that had been checked before had not progressed for a long time, which made him even more troubled. But he was not willing to stop there, so he made plans and decided to go again at night to visit Du's house.
But before that, she went to the dark room of the county lord's mansion again.
In the dark room, a man described being embarrassed by the chains on the wall, Qi Han gave him one last needle, and Zhixia was guarding him, ready to step forward to restrain him at any time when he went crazy.
Hearing the movement, Zhixia hurriedly stepped forward and packed up a stool for Chu Luan to sit down.
"How's he doing?" Chu Luan looked at Wei Wei, who had become decadent because of detoxification, for fear that he would be abolished.
Qi Han wiped the sweat from his forehead, and first boasted about his medical skills with a smile, and then let Chu Luan relax, "His little life has finally been saved." As he spoke, he remembered the medicine guide that Chu Luan had given him before, and slapped him hard, "Thanks to the county lord's method of fighting poison with poison and finding the medicine lead, this can detoxify him in such a short time." ”
Knowing that Wei Wei's residual poison had been cleared, Chu Luan was relieved and instructed Zhixia to arrange for sending people to the military camp as soon as possible.
"My promise has been fulfilled, don't let me down." Because of Wei Wei's poisoning, Chu Luan's plan has been postponed for too long, her patience is about to run out, and she no longer speaks mercilessly, "Wei Li has seen your appearance, I advise you to think of a way, in addition, I have also arranged your new identity, from now on you will no longer be a dead soldier Wei Wei, but the son of an ordinary farmer - Wei Changlin." ”
Wei Wei, who had been silent for a long time, asked in a hoarse voice: "What are the two words of Changlin, and how do you write them?" ”
Chu Luan chuckled, but did not mean to mock, but took out the name that had been written a long time ago and asked Zhixia to hand it to him.
By the candlelight, he saw the two words clearly and smiled easily, "It's good, I can write these two words." "He doesn't have to write words that he can't write at all.
From now on, there will never be Wei Wei in this world again, no matter which one it is.
Out of the dark room, Chu Luan did not go back to the room directly, but left Qi Han behind, and the two wandered in the side courtyard of the county lord's mansion. Qi Han saw Chu Luan's tense expression, so he knew that she had something to order, and she no longer had a hippie smile, and it was rare to be serious, "What is the purpose of the county lord to leave me, you might as well say it directly." ”
Chu Luan took out a piece of paper, on which were densely written the symptoms of her illness, "This records all the symptoms of my hidden illness over the years. ”
"It occurs on the third day of the month, and the time is uncertain, mostly in the evening. At the beginning, the hands and feet were weak, and after about half a cup of tea, the heart began to cramp, and the instantaneous pain extended to the whole body, accompanied by black lines. If you don't take the medicine, it hurts until dawn the next day. ”
Even Qi Han, just seeing such a description, couldn't imagine what kind of strange disease was so domineering. I can't imagine that anyone can survive until now.
He couldn't help but ask, "How do you describe this pain?" ”
Chu Luan said indifferently, "The pain of ten thousand ants devouring the heart, the torment of burning the body by fire." ”
Qi Han: "When did it start?" ”
Chu Luan: "I left the capital when I was a child and just arrived in Jinling. ”
Qi Han was shocked, he really couldn't imagine how a woman in Chu Luan had survived so many years, "Then did you have an antidote at that time?" ”
"If you don't meet a teacher, you can't get a good medicine."
"And how did you survive then?"
"When you encounter thieves on the road, there is no one to take care of them; If you don't know the way of life and death, you can't be liberated; The heavens are merciful, unbearable pain, unconscious. Chu Luan's impression was also blurred, she only remembered that she fell asleep in pain at that time, and she didn't feel anything. When she woke up again, she also met Xuan Jun, Yunu and Xiuniang.
Since then, every month at the beginning of the month, Sanxuan Jun will refine the antidote to relieve Chu Luan's pain, at first, the medicine really didn't make her hurt much, but as she got older, those medicines became more and more ineffective. There is no lessness of sin.
"You're so sick that I've never met you. Could it be poisoning? Qi Han made a bold guess.
was vetoed by Chu Luan, "I also had doubts, but when you checked my pulse, you also found that there was no sign of poisoning in my body." ”
That's right.
Qi Han made another difficulty, not poisoning, is there really such a strange illness in this world?
Seeing Qi Han's embarrassment, Chu Luan was not reluctant, but comforted him, "Do your best in everything, and follow the mandate of heaven when necessary." It's just that now I think that my revenge has not been avenged, my great cause has not been accomplished, and I have a child who is so young, if I really leave early, I am afraid that I will not be reconciled. Didn't you say, 'I will live to be forty years old?' In the future, I will listen to you, take medicine well, take good care of your body, and fulfill all your wishes, and there will be no regrets. ”
These words really opened Qi Han's eyes, on weekdays, Chu Luan gave people a very sad feeling, like the kind of person who wants to die and live at every turn, but the reality is just the opposite, she can see more than anyone else, and live more clearly than anyone else.
Summer nights always blow a warm evening breeze that neither feels cool nor overheated.
Chu Luan wore a light ink-colored dress, and her hair was roughly fixed with a wooden hairpin to prevent it from being too loose and scaring passers-by.
Thinking that there were guards patrolling the capital, nothing should happen, so Chu Luan did not notify others to accompany him.
On the other side, Wei Li couldn't sleep at night because of what Bai Rishi San said, tossing and turning several times, and finally decided to go out alone to breathe, maybe he would be able to figure it out by then.
The capital at night is very lively even if it is not the New Year's Festival, and the tavern tea house and Qianzhuang Lefang are even more crowded with people coming in and out.
Listening to the shouts of various vendors, even if there are more things on my mind, I will be indifferent because of the sense of belonging at this moment.
"Lanterns, sell lanterns." The merchant woman stood by the moat selling lanterns, and her angry shouts covered the surrounding vendors.
Perhaps out of curiosity, Wei Li followed the prestige, and various forms of lanterns emitted bright light, but what made people more concerned was the woman in a dark dress in front of the stall, the green silk poured like a waterfall, the broken hair on her forehead fluttered backwards with the river wind at night, the soft light of the lantern sprinkled lightly on her face, and the corners of her lips hooked a shallow smile.
Chu Luan passed through this, and felt that the lanterns in this house were beautiful, so he stopped to watch.
Who knows that this lady is not only skillful, but also speaks well.
"What a beautiful girl, it's Tanabata in a few days, are you the fairy in the sky, go down to earth in advance to choose lanterns and wishful wishes?"
"I ......" Chu Luan didn't know what to say for a while.
"Girl, buy a lantern, and when you wait until the Qixi Festival, you can go to release the river lantern with your sweetheart."
Chu Luan was slightly embarrassed, "I don't have a sweetheart yet." ”
The eldest lady waved her hand, "It's okay, my lantern is very smart, as long as you buy one, wait until the day of Qixi Festival to come to this moat to put the lantern, you will definitely be able to meet Ruyi Langjun." ”
Seeing that the eldest lady was so enthusiastic about selling her lanterns, Chu Luan was helpless and wanted to laugh again, and was about to pay for the next one.
"Miss Chu." Wei Li didn't know when he was already standing behind her.
Chu Luan was still holding the lotus lantern in his hand, and when he turned around at this time, the light shone on Wei Li's face, and Chu Luan saw such a Wei Li clearly for the first time. Her hair is half-curled, she has lost her usual murderous atmosphere, and her eyes are full of light and tenderness, even she can't help but look stupid.
"Girl, I'll just say that my lantern is very smart, let the son buy you one, and you can put the lantern with this son during the Qixi Festival." The eldest lady smiled happily, her eyes back and forth on them.
Chu Luan was shocked by these words, and then he realized his gaffe, hurriedly took the money from his purse, and clarified, "Auntie, you misunderstood, I am not ...... with this son."
"I bought this lantern, and I don't have to look for money." Wei Li generously took out a piece of silver and handed it to the eldest lady.
After getting so much money, the eldest lady was crazy, and said vigorously, "Thank you, I wish you two to be united forever and grow old together." ”
Seeing the eldest lady like this, Chu Luan was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly at this time, so he took Wei Li aside and blamed him for being reckless, "Why didn't you explain it and make her misunderstand?" Although Chu Luan still looked cold, her slightly drunk cheeks were in full view because of the lantern. The latter didn't know what evil he had fallen into, obviously he didn't drink, but he couldn't control his nonsense, "She has a good eye, I'm very happy." ”
Chu Luan: !
Did Wei Li drink alcohol, why did he talk nonsense. But Fang Cai didn't smell the alcohol on him.
Chu Luan looked at the lantern in his hand, he felt awkward, so he simply pushed it to Wei Li, and said righteously: "Since you bought this lamp, I'll give it to you." ”
Wei Li chuckled, and pushed the lantern back, "What are you going to do for me, anyway, won't you still use it in a few days, so I'll leave it to you for safekeeping." ”
Chu Luan took the lantern and stared at her, she didn't understand what Wei Li meant, or maybe she understood what Wei Li meant, but she couldn't believe it.
"What does the prince mean by this?" Chu Luan's words were obviously a little angry.
But Wei Li turned a deaf ear and still said to himself, "Qixi Festival, I want to invite Miss Chu to spend it with me." ”
Lunatic! Chu Luan felt that Wei Li must have been stimulated, otherwise he would not have said such crazy things. Not to mention that the matter between her and Murong Jin is already known to everyone, even if he really doesn't know, with the identity and position between them, it is impossible for Chu Luan to spend Qixi Festival with him.
She didn't hesitate to refuse ruthlessly, "Lord Wang, are you tired and confused, how can I be with ......"
"If you don't want to spend Tanabata with me, then it's just Tanabata, and it's like accompanying me for my birthday, how about it?" Wei Li interrupted her, but the speed of her speech was not intense, and she still spoke softly, as if she was coaxing this person in front of her who was not very good-tempered.
King Yongning's birthday is on Tanabata?! What are you kidding, his birthday is obviously ...... Chu Luan was suddenly stunned, she really didn't seem to know when King Yongning's birthday was, she thought that this person was just a birthday.
Seeing that Chu Luan didn't agree for a long time, Wei Li's tone softened a little, and even revealed a little grievance, as if as long as there was no one around, he could immediately shed tears, "Since my father and mother left, I haven't had a birthday, Miss Chu, why don't you and me be companions, okay?" ”
Chu Luan's whole face darkened, and he said in his heart: This guy in front of him can also climb the pole.
"Not good!" Chu Luan's attitude was resolute, "The posture of the prince is a celestial person, presumably whether it is a confidante who accompanies you for the Qixi Festival or your birthday, you can line up five times around the moat, so why do you have to embarrass Chu Luan?" ”
"Even if there are three thousand red faces, it is not as good as a Chu girl." Wei Li said.
Chu Luan only felt that she was hot all over her body at this time, and the fingertips that touched the lantern were about to be burned, she almost threw the lantern on Wei Li's body, and then fled in a hurry.
But a simple love sentence provoked her to collapse.
Wei Li made such a fuss inexplicably, and even Chu Luan's plan to visit Du's house at night was disrupted. She ran back to the house with a red face, ignored people, and locked herself in the room directly, and no one should knock on the door.
Zhixia and Daisy were wondering if Chu Luan was being bullied outside, and the other little maid in the house, Qing Pu, smiled secretly, stopped the two who were about to knock on the door, and said with a mysterious face, "Don't bother the county lord, she definitely doesn't want others to see her now." ”
Daisy and Zhixia didn't understand what they meant, but they didn't bother Chu Luan anymore.
