Xu Houye glanced back at the carriage, retracted his eyes and shook his head slowly, although he also spoke softly, but his words resolutely did not have any room for maneuver: "Virtuous nephew, why bother the old man, people who have no fate to meet each other, not only will it not help, but it will also affect Xu Qu Manmen, and it is good to think twice about the virtuous nephew." ”

The late autumn in Qingzhou City was dry and rainless, the wind was strong and the sand was much, and the wind rolled up the gravel, which kept playing on Qu Yuanshen's eyes, the corners of his eyes were sore, and he gritted his teeth so that he didn't shed tears, and his face didn't dare to show a little bit of strangeness, so he only gave a salute, like an ordinary nephew who rushed to see him off, and said softly: "The road ahead is difficult, please be extra careful, the little nephew will be sent here." ”

After saying that, he stood sideways, looking at Xu Houye spurring his horse, the ruts behind him were rolling, and the group of cars drove forward again, running over the endless light dust.

A cool breeze tugged Qu Yuanshen's eyelids, slightly painful, this pain was like countless pervasive needles, through the flesh through the bone marrow, straight to his heart, a heart was pierced with thousands of holes, extremely painful but bloodless.

Yes, he is the one who has no chance to be blessed, what can he do when he sees it, but it hurts others and himself, hurts the innocent, Qu Yuanshen's eyes dimmed and darkened, and finally watched the car drive away silently, he almost vomited blood, this walk is the end of everything, he hates his weakness and powerlessness, and he can't even find goodbye. Until the car turned the corner and disappeared, he was still silent for a long time, and the autumn wind had his familiar fragrant powder swirling, brushing the tips of his cheeks and nose, like the hands of farewell, cold and despairing.

Back upstairs in Shengdexuan, Yun Liangjiang swore a curse, no longer believing the words of the sad and crazy person, while knocking his fingers on the table wildly, and sighed angrily: "Qu Yuanshen, Qu Yuanshen, I asked you and Su Zi to come out, just to know that Hou Ye Xu is going to send Xiang Lan into the palace today, and I want you to see her off here, just now do you want to or me and Su Zi, or do you want to still live in your family and the Qu family, do you know that if the people in the palace listen to the matter of Fang Cai, how many lives we have, and it is not enough to fill in." ”

Qu Yuanshen's heart was unbearable, and he wanted to find a place where no one was, so he cried loudly, but he could only grit his teeth and hold back: "It's that I'm too anxious, but, but Suzi, now that the dust has settled, what else can you do." ”

The wind quieted down, and did not continue to blow like a knife on the cheeks, and the hot pot gradually subsided, and the soup was not boiling, and in the endless dead silence, the hot air on the hot pot seemed to be the only living thing.

Su Zi slowly put down his chopsticks, pursed his thin lips tightly, and stared for a long time before he said quietly: "There is nothing in this world that is unsolvable, I naturally have a way, but Yuan Shen, I have to ask you for a word, is it that you have to be with Xianglan no matter what, even if you flee to the rivers and lakes in the future, or die without a corpse, you will not hesitate." ”

"Yes. Qu Yuanshen nodded heavily, his expression resolute, without a trace of hesitation.

Su Zi's heart is heavy, in life, there is nothing more afraid than to have it and then lose it, and the most difficult thing is to destroy it and then rebuild. Right now, Qu Yuanshen is facing such a situation, but some choices are done, or life or death, they can only grit their teeth and go on, there is no regret medicine to take in this world, he made up his mind, took out a jade bottle from his sleeve, and put it on the table cautiously: "Actually, I have prepared it for you since I returned to Qingzhou, and I haven't taken it out, but I don't want you to go to a dead end." ”

Yun Liangjiang's eyes flashed, and he swirled around the jade bottle, and sighed again and again: "Here it is, it's that medicine." ”

Su Zi bowed deeply: "Not bad." He raised his eyebrows: "Yuan ginseng, with this medicine, you and Xianglan will have fled from now on, no, they are fleeing to the rivers and lakes." ”

Qu Yuanshen stretched out his hand, and involuntarily scooped up the jade bottle in his hand and held it tightly, for fear that this thing would give birth to wings out of thin air and fly like a boiled duck.

Yun Liang Jiang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed Qu Yuanshen's hand and prevented him from taking the jade bottle into his arms, with a solemn expression without a smile: "Yuan Shen, you have to think clearly, if the matter fails, not only the lives of you and Shelan, but also the lives of the Qu family of the Xu family, even if Shean Lan will never regret death, but how innocent the two families of Qu and Xu are." ”

Qu Yuanshen's eyes were deep, as if he wanted to penetrate the autumn colors, look straight into the depths of the palace, and find the person who wanted to wear it, but after looking at it for a long time, it was his own wishful thinking, and he didn't look back and said: "I know that this matter must be carefully planned, otherwise it will be a self-defeating death." ”

"You know, then, until the day when you plan properly, I will not tell you to kill yourself. Yun Liangjiang fiercely broke Qu Yuanshen's hand, snatched the jade bottle with lightning speed, held it in his arms, covered it like a family heirloom, and said softly: "I'll keep this medicine for you first." ”

Qu Yuanshen nodded slightly, knowing that Yun Liangjiang was thinking about him, afraid that he would kill himself if he was impulsive, he gave Su Zi a deep salute: "I am weak, not enough to achieve this, and I have to trouble you to pass on a message for me, please work hard for the county lord to plan for me." ”

Su Zi took his hand, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, this matter is extremely dangerous, and it cannot be solved by fighting, so that Yinzi is indispensable to fill people's lives, and it is a dilemma to help or not, he can neither watch them suffer for a lifetime, but he can not watch them die in vain, so he can only bow his head and say: "Luo Kui and I will naturally help you, but this matter is not easy, you have to have a little patience." He lamented in his heart how similar the scene in front of him was to that year, and hopefully, hopefully, the ending would be completely different.

The words are all here, everything is unknown, if you do it, you may not win, but if you don't do it, you will definitely lose, no matter how delicious Shengdexuan's hot pot is, the three of them don't know how to eat.

After the meal, they went home.

Qu Yuan was sad and indignant about his future.

Su Zi looked back at the old things with emotion.

And Yun Liangjiang is the most smiling at the moment, his harvest is the greatest, the medicine is pinched in his hands, it is equivalent to pinching Qu Yuanshen's life, and he will not dare not invite him to drink when he asks him to eat in the future, and he will not dare not be ruthless when he is asked to beat people. Taking advantage of such a big advantage, he almost grinned to the base of his ears, revealing Bai Sensen's back molars.

The remnant sun filled the sky like blood, and the dim twilight slowly flowed from the edge of the sky. The wind lamp hangs low, the evening breeze walks lonely under the porch, the lights are lonely and quiet swaying, and the lights and shadows move silently and quietly.

Lilac was busy for a long time, and the table was full of dishes, most of which were vegetarian dishes such as kale, bracken, spinach, etc., only a plate of hibiscus tofu and a bowl of steamed eggs with shrimp were considered meaty, and there was a pot of stewed soft chicken shredded japonica rice porridge.

But Jingmo only glanced at it, and his mouth was bitter and tasteless, and his disgust was like a rolling river, and the clove face was red, and he looked embarrassed, so he would only bow his head and whisper: "This, I'll redo it, and Mo Gongzi will wait a while." After speaking, she was even more embarrassed, Luo Kui's monthly silver was not much, and there were more mouths at home out of thin air, so she was even more stretched, fortunately, Qu Lian returned home today, otherwise she would have to cook one person's food and spend more money.

Luo Kui naturally knew Lilac's dilemma, she stopped the chopsticks in her hand and stopped her: "What to redo, I look good." ”

Jingmo frowned and pouted, he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, since he came to Qingzhou, the days were not as good as a day, and the food was not as good as a day, not only did he not have the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but he could only see the meat in three or five days, he never figured out, how could the golden and precious Luokui live such a poor life, picked a chopstick sesame spinach and smelled it, he turned his head and said aggrievedly: "Eating these vegetarian dishes all day long, I am about to become a rabbit, I want to eat the lotus fish bun of the mountain house." ”

Luo Kui only glanced at him, and then hung his head and said nothing.

Jingmo saw that Luo Kui was gone, so he cautiously approached her and flattered: "Ah Kui, let's go together, that lotus room fish bag is really a must in the world." ”

Luo Kui is lazy and slack by nature and reluctant to move, she has nothing to do on weekdays, and she is tired and panicked when she walks one more step, let alone walking through half the city for a bite of food, so it is better to make her hungry.

Seeing that Luo Kui was silent, Lilac was very interested, and took a cup of shredded chicken and japonica rice porridge with a pink butterfly through a flower cup, and gently put it in front of Luo Kui.

Luo Kui pinched the soup spoon and drank the porridge very quietly, this porridge was stewed very well, it melted in the mouth, her lips and teeth were fragrant, she lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Green vegetables and radishes are safe, I don't have such a rich appetite, I can't eat such rich dishes." ”

Jingmo was choked up, rich, compared with Luokui, he was more rich than Luokui, he choked for a while, with a beautiful smile, leaned over and said: "Let's go, let's go, I want to eat, you should accompany me to go." ”

The dishes on the table are scattered, and the plain white embryo is depicted with the pattern of pink butterflies wearing flowers. The remnant sun is like gold, flowing quietly on the top, and the bowl is dyed with a layer of gold dust along the edge of the plate, and the brilliance is glazed.

Luo Kui pinched the handkerchief and wiped his lips, and the afterglow swept over Jingmo, who was anxious and uneasy, and the yard was circling, and said calmly and casually: "You go by yourself, I won't walk so far, I'm tired and panicked." ”

Jingmo originally wanted to blurt out the word "good", but when the words came to his mouth, he noticed that something was wrong, and after thinking about it, he said: "Call Du Heng to set the car, go to the car, don't be tired." ”

Luo Kui shook his head: "No, the car is dizzy after sitting for a long time, you can go by yourself." If you feel that you are bored eating, you will call Qu Lian together, and the Gu Mountain House is not far from Qu's house. ”

Jingmo is like being amnestied, and he is smiling like a blooming peony flower, which is gorgeous: "Okay, okay, then I'll bring you some back." He thought about it again and stretched out a hand: "Okay, Ah Kui, give me some silver, call Qu Lian together, and bring you some back, I'm afraid this little silver is not enough." ”

Luo Kui sighed non-stop, almost fell headlong on the table, knowing that she was outrageously poor, and she was greedy, this is better to die of poverty than to die of hunger, she was a little speechless, only covering her heart and liver dripping with blood, and took out the ingot silver from her pouch and handed it over.
