Volume 1 The Rise of the West Chapter 120 [4]
Bogu Building.
Liu Ruiying has already returned to her residence.
He sat in a chair of extremely fine wood.
This chair was not available in the room before.
Because the weak tables and chairs had all been reduced to crumbs when Ou Xiao'e fought with the bandage monster.
The table in front of him was also a new addition.
Boxy.
Black lacquer painted with gold.
There were several messy jars of wine on the table.
And.
Two thick stacks of dossier.
Looking at it like this, Liu Ruiying hasn't read these files much yet.
But the jar of wine had been drunk two or three times.
There was no one else in the house.
Only himself.
So these two or three jars of wine are really drunk by him alone.
It stands to reason that he didn't drink so well.
On weekdays, at most one and a half jars will get drunk.
But now it's very unusual.
Liu Ruiying is not only not drunk.
On the contrary, the more you drink, the more sober you become.
His intention was to get himself drunk.
But for some reason, what used to be simple has become incredibly difficult.
Tang Zhongsong once told Liu Ruiying.
He said that if he was drinking alone.
Whether you are happy or sad, you will get drunk quickly.
Because when a person drinks alone.
The whole body is relaxed.
There is no pressure.
There is no need to speak.
Just put two lips slightly and be able to pour wine into them.
That's what Liu Ruiying did.
But he didn't achieve his goal.
Now the poison of the moon has been cured.
When he took Liu Ruiying to a secret room to retrieve these files, Liu Ruiying saw that the secret room was full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Thinking about it, this is the purpose of Zhang Zhihan and Sun Wanning coming to find Youyue this time.
"The owner of the building today ......"
Liu Ruiying wanted to speak and stopped.
Liu Xingqi said that it was okay. β
Today, Youyue handed over the thick two stacks of files to Liu Ruiying and said.
"Why do you take this so seriously?"
Liu Ruiying pointed to the gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room and said.
"It's not that I take it seriously. It's that they take it too seriously. β
Youyue said with a smile.
"When we were very poor, we worked on the street and sang on the stage. Even if you eat three portions of a baked cake, I feel very happy and sleep very soundly. But when you have these things, the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas has no taste in your mouth, and the hotbed is soft and sleeps under your body like a thorn in your back. But he couldn't be happy anymore. β
Imazaki said.
"Even ...... Sun Wanning also hinted to me more than once that they joined forces to get rid of Zhang Zhihan. β
Jin Chao Youyue paused and continued.
"But you didn't. β
Liu Ruiying said.
"Definitely. I didn't do that. But no matter what I do, it will inevitably make me miserable. β
Imazaki said.
Liu Ruiying nodded.
He couldn't understand that feeling, though.
But he could figure it out.
At one end is the person next to his pillow.
On the other end is his brother in life and death.
Both of these should be the strongest feelings in the world.
But in the end, they were all defeated by gold and silver.
all say that intercession is stronger than gold.
But judging from the experience of the moon today.
I'm afraid that there is no emotion that can be strong over gold and silver.
Poor couples mourn everything.
But if he has been poor and lowly, when that habit becomes natural, he will be able to get by for the rest of his life.
What I am most afraid of is the ups and downs of the moon today.
From poor to rich.
"But after the pain, the gold and silver will be spent. β
Liu Ruiying said.
"If gold and silver are not spent, they are no different from a pile of rotten wood. β
Imazaki said.
"Looks like you're not spending much. β
Liu Ruiying looked at the gold and silver in the secret room and said.
This chamber is huge, very deep.
There was only one oil lamp lit at the end.
It was dim and dark, but you could see the gold and silver jewels piled up from the innermost part to the door.
"No, we spent a lot. There is so much left because the gold and silver jewels I got are so much, so amazing. β
Imazaki said.
"What did you all buy?"
Liu Ruiying asked curiously.
Although he is not poor.
But I really want to know what a person would do if he suddenly had so much gold and silver.
Liu Ruiying is already a provincial flag.
It's not low.
However, this theory of rich and poor still needs to be compared.
Compared with the secret room of Youyue today, he is naturally a poor man.
It's still the kind of poor people who can't be poorer anymore.
"At the beginning, I bought a theater building. β
Imazaki said.
"Theater?"
Liu Ruiying was very surprised.
"Right...... It's a big theater building, more than half the size of this Mingyue Tower!"
Imazaki said.
"Then why don't you like to listen to dramas now?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"I bought a theater building because Sun Wanning likes to listen to dramas. Not only does he love to listen, but he also loves to sing. β
Today, Youyue's expression is a little trance-like.
It seems to recall the scene at that time.
"As for those who play the pipa, it's normal to have some hobbies of quyi. β
Liu Ruiying said.
He placed the dossier he had been holding in his hand on the ground.
It's not too heavy.
I feel that it is a little troublesome to hold it like this all the time.
What's more, the story of Youyue today is indeed very fascinating, so Liu Ruiying has to keep listening to it and hear the end.
So she listened to the opera and sang for another half a year. β
Imazaki said.
"Does she sing well?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"She plays the pipa really well! But the drama is really hard to hear......
Today, Youyue shook her head and said.
It seems that the opera I heard so many years ago is still in my mind, as if I want to shake it out.
Liu Ruiying smiled.
It seems that there really can only be one thing a person can do in his life.
The second thing is either not done well, or it simply can't be done.
However, Liu Ruiying still admires Sun Wanning's courage and boldness.
knew that he had sung so badly, but he couldn't even sing it for half a year.
"There are rules for singing, once you open your voice, you can't stop until you finish singing. β
Imazaki said.
"But it won't take six months to finish. β
Liu Ruiying said.
"It's true that it takes six months to finish. β
Imazaki said.
"Why is it so long?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"Bifang Wine". β
Imazaki said.
"Bifang Wine"? Isn't that just a three-fold?"
Liu Ruiying said.
He had listened to "Bifang Wine" in its entirety.
Not only has he heard it, but he can also sing it.
So he's weird.
Why does this "Bifang Wine" need to be sung for half a year?
"Because the 'Bifang Wine' you listen to is not complete. I don't know who cut this "Bifang Wine" into only three folds. β
Today, Youyue said helplessly.
"How many excerpts of "Bifang Wine" have not been cut?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
"It takes half a year to sing one fold a day. Liu Xingqi, how many folds do you count?"
Today, there is a month that sells a pass and said.
"It's not as clever as the landlord today, if there is no abacus, it can't be calculated by the brain alone. β
Liu Ruiying said.
If a month is counted as thirty days only.
There is six months in half a year, which is one hundred and eighty days.
Could it be that this "Bifang Wine" has one hundred and eighty folds?
Liu Ruiying didn't believe it.
Because there are so many excerpts without opera.
Even the storyteller's legend is difficult to have so many chapters.
"You're right. A full hundred and eighty-four folds. β
Imazaki said.
"Where did the rest go?"
Liu Ruiying asked.
An opera with 184 excerpts is really a masterpiece.
Now it has been cut down to only three folds, which is really a pity.
"Alas...... I don't know which bastard changed me to the way I look now. However, the manuscript is a lot, and every fold is there. β
Youyue said with a sigh.
Liu Ruiying just wanted to open his mouth and borrow the manuscript.
But the words of the moon made him think about it carefully, and he actually heard something earth-shattering.
"Could it be that you are the owner of the building today......"
Liu Ruiying already believed it in her heart.
Just wait for the moon to nod a little today.
"I am the author of Bifang Wine. These 184 folds were all written by me alone. β
Imazaki said.
Liu Ruiying held back the shock in her heart and nodded.
"At this point, it doesn't make much sense. Presumably, Liu Xingqi wanted to know why I left. β
Imazaki said.
For these details, although it sounds interesting.
But after all, it's not the main thing.
Liu Ruiying really wanted to know why Youyue would leave today.
Because he feels that it's not just about being greedy for money.
"Because I want to see if it's me or if it's the gold and silver that matter. β
Imazaki said.
Liu Ruiying frowned.
He heard and understood every word of the sentence.
But when it comes together, I don't understand the meaning at all.
He felt that if this was the case, it would be a little too naΓ―ve to have a moon in the future.
"Childish, isn't it?"
Isaaki asked Youyue.
He doesn't have the ability of Xiao Jinkan Onmyoji.
But after so many years of hard work, he has also cultivated a pair of fiery eyes that can see through the hearts of ordinary people.
So he said Liu Ruiying's heart at once.
"Haha...... The choice is different, the angle is different. β
Liu Ruiying said with a smile.
He didn't know what to say.
Only said these two ambiguous words, and dealt with them haphazardly.
But now the answer seems to be clear. β
Liu Ruiying continued.
He felt that Fang Cai's sentence was a bit thin.
If you want the conversation to continue.
I'll have to say something more.
"yes, at a glance. I can't compare to this pile of gold and silver. β
Today, Youyue said very lonely.
This man's heart and humanity cannot withstand temptation.
If you get these things, you can make a decision and divide them into three.
Since then, they have gone to the east and west, separated from the end of the world, and forgotten in the rivers and lakes.
Isn't it all happy?
But now there is a moon and I want to give it a try.
Liu Ruiying didn't know why he was acting like this.
It is obviously extremely stupid to know only the consequences of doing so.
After saying this, Youyue turned around and left.
He didn't lock the door to the chamber again.
It's so open and bright.
This secret room is directly below the original stage of Mingyue Tower.
Liu Ruiying walked up and took a look, and found that the Mingyue Building was still empty.
Sun Wanning and Zhang Zhihan also disappeared.
But he faintly heard a commotion coming from upstairs.
"Although Bifang wine is fragrant, it can't wear through the mountains.
Why bother to let that person's heart be shelved?
Look at the three BMWs, pulling a canopy.
Sitting in the car is indeed for the benevolent people.
He said to us.
Hitting the west is thirsty for officials.
With your hand in winemaking, you should have to make a trade-off.
But we can't leave Aise in this room.
Shaded by willows and flowers.
Affection but can't agree.
In the end, it was still a wine jar that jingled to the ground.
Wine soup splashed everywhere, busy in vain!"
This paragraph made Liu Ruiying's heart sour and unbearable.
It seemed that he heard that the drama was about to start again, but he couldn't listen to anything.
With his head down, he shrunk his neck and walked out of Mingyue Tower.
"Got it?"
Zhao Mingming said.
She and the sugar-fried chestnuts have not yet left.
has been waiting for Liu Ruiying to come out at the door.
Seeing Zhao Mingming's face, I heard her question.
Liu Ruiying couldn't help but feel a warm heart.
But in an instant, I remembered what happened to Youyue today.
What's more, Zhao Mingming, this girl, is too mysterious.
Liu Ruiying didn't know her details at all.
At this moment, my heart is full of stories about the moon today, and my mind is filled with the lyrics of Fang Cai.
But even a smile seems extremely deliberate.
As a last resort.
Liu Ruiying had no choice but to say that she was in a hurry to go back and look through these files.
With this as an excuse, he hurriedly said goodbye to Zhao Mingming.
"Miss, how weird is he......"
Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.
Although he didn't know why.
But I can still feel that Liu Ruiying is no longer what it used to be.
"Because he's growing. β
Zhao Mingming said.
"Growth? He's so old, how can he grow. Can't it grow as tall as the tree?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts said with a gesture with his hand.
"Growth doesn't necessarily mean the bones, more often than not, it refers to this. β
Zhao Mingming poked the heart of the sugar-fried chestnuts and said.
This finger poked the sugar-fried chestnuts a little itchy, which immediately caused her to laugh.
"When you grow up here, do you get weird?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts stopped laughing and asked.
"Everybody's different, right...... I can't say anything about human beings. β
Zhao Mingming looked at Liu Ruiying's back and said.
"Then he must be a guy who grows up here and becomes weird. β
Sugar-fried chestnuts pointed at Liu Ruiying, and then pointed to his heart and said.
"Then when he grows up, will he change back?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts saw that Zhao Mingming was silent, so he asked again.
"I don't know. But no matter what he changes, or what he becomes, it's time for us to go. β
Zhao Mingming said.
"Why, miss, didn't we just come to this Bogu Building?"
Zhao Mingming said.
"Because he's going to go too. If there were no interesting people in this Bogu Building, this would really not be an interesting place. β
Zhao Mingming said.
"How did Mademoiselle know he was leaving?"
Zhao Mingming said.
"You have to gain or lose something everywhere to count. He's grown, and this place doesn't make sense to him anymore. Why don't you leave?"
Zhao Mingming asked rhetorically.
"So where will he go, and when will he go?"
Sugar-fried chestnuts said.
"He's funny, but he's really not good at saying goodbye. β
Zhao Mingming said.
She didn't answer the question of sugar-fried chestnuts.
Just urged her to get all her bags packed after returning to the inn.
Some people come and go like the wind.
There is never a place to stay.
The mountains and rivers that the wind blows in a year are more than 80,000 miles.
The same goes for such people.
The wind always blows a place to boil, and finally chases the clouds and goes far away.
But Zhao Mingming is right.
Liu Ruiying is indeed leaving.
And he's really not good at saying goodbye.
Not sure why.
The words goodbye seem to have magical power, and every time Liu Ruiying wants to say it, it will get stuck in his throat.
Not up and down.
Neither advance nor retreat.
So he simply didn't say it.
But Xiao Jinkan knew.
If Liu Ruiying doesn't say a word, just waits quietly by your side, that's when he is leaving.
Or maybe it's time for him to leave.
Liu Ruiying held a wine glass in his left hand.
He placed his right hand between the two thick stacks of files.
He didn't look at the files carefully.
It's just a rough flip.
What is certain is that Youyue did not lie to him today.
There is indeed some real material in these files.
But he didn't have the heart to dig deeper.
At the moment, he just wants to drink.
And I want to find someone to drink with him.
Liu Ruiying hugged the wine jar and took the wine glass, and went to Xiao Jinkan's house.
He had promised Xiao Jinkan.
When the matter is over, I will come to him for a drink.
I can't say it's over now.
But the dust has settled.
Before heading out, though.
Liu Ruiying put down the wine jar and wine glass again.
He tore off a dozen pages of a dossier, put it in his arms, and put it together with the book "Seven Absolute Flame Sword".
The rest is not something he can control.
It will only take some time to compile an outline of these files.
When I returned to the Investigation Division of the Central Capital and handed in the outline and all these files, this errand would be over.
"Bogu Lou ......"
Liu Ruiying muttered a sentence in her mouth.
He didn't know how the words Bogulou suddenly came out of his mouth.
However, he still hopes to be able to return to Zhongdu and return to the Investigation Division.
It's not because of anything else, it's just that what I have seen and heard this time is too rich.
He's going to put on a good show for the old stable.
saves him from always posing like he is a hairy boy on weekdays.
Presumably, even if these stories are not as wonderful as those he has experienced, they will definitely make him stop underestimating himself.
Come to think of it.
Liu Ruiying's back was a little sweaty.
Sweat and the smell of alcohol all emanated from the pores.
Now it's as if he hasn't been drinking at all.
Feeling the changes in her body, Liu Ruiying's pace was much lighter.
He felt that even if he needed to fight with Xiao Jinkan for a while, he was fearless.
It's just that he didn't think of it.
Xiao Jinkan was not in the house.
It is no longer in the Bogu Building.
He was still in the backyard of the canteen in Jingping Town, stabbing with the boy of Nazufu Knife.
But at a glance, Xiao Jinkan is embarrassed.
The hairpin is generally draped loosely.
The clothes on his body were shaken by the sword qi, and they were about to become ragged.
Traces of blood also oozed from the mouth and nose.
"It seems that this is now fried and sold, it is better to practice to make perfect!"
The boy said proudly.
"Speculation and selling pictures is a fresh and hot, one-shot deal! It is not like practice makes perfect, and what you want is repeat customers. β
Xiao Jinkan said.
"But you don't seem to have done well with my deal. β
The boy said.
"Buying and selling is not benevolent, not to mention that this transaction is still too early to be completed!"
Xiao Jinkan said.
The boy was a little anxious.
He has obviously used his power, and Xiao Jinkan has indeed been hit by a lot of knives.
Why is he still so angry when he speaks, and he still has the energy to talk and play with himself?
If it had been someone else, he would have died more than three times.
Could it be that this man's internal organs are made of steel?
Sense the other person's mood swings.
Xiao Jinkan also smiled.
Although the expression on his face was extremely exaggerated, he did not laugh at all.
"Why are you smiling?"
The boy asked.
"Dumb smile for heart laugh, I'm laughing at you with my heart!"
Xiao Jinkan said.
"What are you laughing at me?"
The boy asked.
He was not only a little impatient at this time, but even a little angry.
"Joke, how long has it been since you, how many stabs have you made? β
Xiao Jinkan said.
After speaking, he flicked the back of the knife with his fingers.
