The autumn night was as cold as water, and the town was a little colder than elsewhere on the side of the mountain, and the wind swept through the branches quickly, as if it was about to sweep down more than half of the withered leaves. The half-open windows creaked softly in the night wind, and the wind was cold and thin, like a cold winter night.

There was a candle head burning on the candlestick with thick putty, the light was dim, and it would be extinguished at any time if it was shaky. Du Heng turned around, took the bronze carved lampholder and lit the candle, the elm square table was suddenly as bright as day, shining on the thin shoulders of Luo Sunflower, the shadow was burned on the ground, and the thin hair was like a thin page of paper.

There was a small bronze lion smoker on the black lacquered table next to the bed, and a bunch of tranquility incense was lit in it, and the light smoke curled, drawing treacherous and faint traces in the void.

Luo Kui turned over her hand, a few plain notes appeared in her palm, she read it in turn, took a long breath, left Qingzhou for a few months, accumulated too many unfinished things, it seems that she has to be busy tonight, she wrote a book on the desk, wrote it an hour later, handed it to Du Heng behind him, and told him to return to Qingzhou overnight to cook.

After Du Heng left, Luo Kui pressed the corner of his forehead, his sleeves brushed on the square table, and a compass and a yellowed remnant suddenly appeared on the table, she hung her head, read carefully word by word, sometimes took a pen to write down a few strokes on the scroll, and sometimes a trick hit the compass, showing a few wisps of light.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps gradually approaching, especially clear in the silent night, no need to look back, Luo Kui had already heard that it was Jingmo coming, her steps were a little heavy and staggering, she didn't have time to think about anything, raised her hand and wiped it on the table very quickly, and the compass and the scroll disappeared when it landed.

After doing this, Luo Kui suddenly felt that his shoulders sank, and his ears were hot, and it was Jingmo who put his chin on his shoulder while drinking.

Luo Kui looked back, only to see Jingmo's face was bleak, his eyes were full of scarlet bloodshots, full of smoky wine, I don't know how much wine she has drunk, and now she is still continuing to drink, although she doesn't know what happened, but she can force a shallow person like Jingmo to borrow wine to eliminate his sorrows, it must not be a trivial matter, he hurriedly helped him sit down on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "In the middle of the night, what are you drinking so much wine for, go and rest early, and we will leave for Qingzhou tomorrow." ”

Jingmo burped hard, and the smell of wine smoked on Luo Kui's face, hot and fishy, and he couldn't press it down a few times when he was full of words, and finally blurted out: "I don't want to go back to Qingzhou, I want to go back to Yangzhou." ”

Luo Kui turned her face sideways, avoiding the smell of alcohol, thinking that Jingmo was afraid, it was good to go back, at least there could be a stable life, she took two silver tickets sideways and handed them over: "If you don't go back to Qingzhou, it's okay, you can take these two hundred taels of silver, it's enough to buy some property in Yangzhou, you save some flowers, and life will be better." ”

Jing Mo's heart was depressed, chasing her cheeks and eyes, slightly drunk, and emboldened: "It's not me, it's us, let's go back to Yangzhou together, buy a house, and live an ordinary life." ”

Luo Kui's eyebrows jumped, Jingmo has always been an idealess and courageous, when did he suddenly change his temperament, and became so thoughtful and courageous, if someone didn't provoke him, it would really be a drunken and courageous person, she frowned suspiciously: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong." ”

The night breeze swept in through the long window, lifting the azure soft smoke curtain, Jingmo's face was hidden in the shadow cast by the curtain, his expression was anxious, and he only reached out to hold Luo Kui's shoulder, held it tightly, and gritted his teeth fiercely: "You just say, are you willing to give up." ”

Luo Kui struggled to shake off Jingmo's hand, and the black and gray hesitation came out from the depths of his cold eyes, and looked straight at Jingmo: "What's wrong with you, why are you crazy." ”

"I don't want you to risk yourself anymore, I want you to go back to Yangzhou with me, Ah Kui, this time it hurt me, what if I hurt you next time, so worried about the precarious days, I have only passed enough after a few months, haven't you had enough after so many years." These words have been considered for a long time in Jing Mo's heart, whether they are sincere or tentative, it is really touching to say them this time.

The smell of tranquility incense is very peculiar, the first smell is as sparse and refreshing as the grass grows in March, and the bitterness of the herbs is there a trace of herbs when you smell it carefully, penetrating into the bone marrow along the skin, from the tip of the tongue to the tip of the heart.

On the dusty candlestick, the shimmer of the inch-long candle head flickered in embarrassment, and was finally blown out by the wind that smelled of wine.

The candle in the bronze carved lampholder is still lit, but it is not as bright as it has been, as if it is covered by a pair of large hands, leaving only a glimmer between the fingers.

There are two villains fighting in Luo Kui's heart, she wants to believe that Jingmo's words are sincere, she is really worried about her safety, she really thinks about her, and she has not lost her clarity, Jingmo has always been timid and has no idea, most of the words she said tonight were instigated, as for who it was, she sneered, she didn't have to think about it to know who it was. Her heart is half as warm as spring and half as cold as winter: "Okay, when the overall situation is stable, we will go to Yangzhou." ”

The voice was still there, but Jing Mo suddenly went crazy, kicked over the wine jar on the ground, and kicked it several times in a row, until the wine jar was kicked to pieces, and the wine was meandering all over the ground, and the heavy snapping sound seemed to be hitting Kui's face: "The overall situation, you only have the overall situation in your heart, how could you have had half a point for me, is it possible that Yunchu Kingdom will destroy the country without you, without you planning the overall situation, I don't believe it, Ah Kui, I just want to live a stable life, I don't want anything like a bright future, glory and wealth." ”

A strange thought suddenly popped up in his heart, if it was, if Luo Kui became his person, would everything be different, and would everything be up to him. The thought gripped his heart so tightly that he had no time to think about the consequences of the defeat, so he put the thought into action.

Jingmo turned his head and blew out the bright candle, stretched out his hand, and imprisoned Luo Kui, who had staggered to the door, in his arms, lowered his head and approached Luo Kui, exhaling hot air on her face, and her lips getting closer and closer.

"Jingmo, what are you doing, are you crazy, you let go of me, let go of me. Luo Kui suddenly felt ominous, and under the anger in her heart, she kept punching and kicking, and scolded loudly.

The angry fists and feet hit Jingmo's body like raindrops, but he didn't back down at all, but forced Luo Kui to the corner, and his eyes almost wanted to breathe fire.

Luo Kui's body was weak after several struggles, and she didn't have the strength to deal with a strong man like Jingmo, and she accidentally knocked over the copper lion smoker in the struggle, and the incense ash was sprinkled on the surface of her feet, and there was a burning pain, she lifted her breath, stretched out her hand and threw it heavily on his face.

Jingmo covered her hot face and was stunned, her heart was cold and fell to the bottom, but she still didn't forget to press her to the corner, and she came over without saying anything.

Seeing that this slap did not wake up Jingmo, Luo Kui was desperate, she didn't want to alarm Suzi, she was afraid that Jingmo would suffer, but now, between her own loss and Jingmo's loss, she decisively chose the latter, so she shouted loudly: "Suzi, Suzi, come quickly, come quickly, save me." ”

Before the words fell, there was a "snap", the indigo cotton curtain was thrown heavily on the door frame, Su Zi broke in with the cold night breeze, angrily lifted Jingmo's collar, and slapped him aside: "Jingmo, do you want to seek death." ”

At this time, Luo Kui was extremely embarrassed, her hair bun was scattered, and the plum blossom head white jade hairpin between her hair fell to the ground and broke into two. Her whole body was shivering, every inch of her skin seemed to be soaked in snow, cold and desperate. She never thought that Jingmo would be so unbearable to go crazy and break through her bottom line.

In the past ten years of experience, whether it is hatred or hatred, she and them, either stabbed the knife in the face, the white knife went in and the red knife came out, either death or injury; But, but they will never do anything that hurts the dignity of men and destroys women's innocence.

Luo Kui sat on the edge of the bed with her head down, stepping barefoot on the cold and biting blue brick floor, and the embroidered shoes that were struggling had long since disappeared. She looked at Su Zi in a daze, picked up the white jade hairpin with a plum blossom head broken on the ground, put it into a small sandalwood box, and took the warm white porcelain bowl in a daze, and raised her head to drink the thick soothing soup.

Suddenly, her shoulders sank, and it was Su Zi who put Xuanhu Dayu on her shoulders, wrapped her tightly in her arms, and said softly: "Okay, it's okay, my brother is guarding you, see who dares to bully you again." ”

Su Zi's palm was extremely heavy, Jingmo's face was swollen in an instant, a trace of scarlet blood oozed from his lips, and most of the wine suddenly woke up, and when he heard this, he squatted in the corner of the wall, the whole person curled up in the shadows, his sword eyebrows were clenched, his starry eyes were distorted, and he cried straight up, crying tears: "I'm just worried about your life, if you continue to fight with King Lin like this, sooner or later you will lose your life." ”

Luo Kui leaned on Su Zi's arms, and her heart ached slightly when she heard this, yes, this kind of thing has been done for a long time, even people like himself who are used to seeing life and death will have times when they are timid, let alone Jingmo, he has never experienced wind and rain, nor has he seen killing, although there have been ups and downs along the way, it has nothing to do with human life, and suddenly saw this bloody scene, he was able to calm down at the time, but after that, he would only be more and more afraid of it.

She hated it very much, and she was even more afraid, she didn't dare to think about what would happen if there was no Suzi tonight, she knew that there was that old thing, there was the affection of her childhood, and she would have to forgive Jingmo sooner or later, but, she bit her silver teeth, and she didn't intend to forgive Jingmo easily, otherwise he would be more unscrupulous and intensify in the future, then there would only be no peace in the future. Luo Kui looked at him coldly, and said calmly without hatred or resentment: "My life or death has nothing to do with you, you can go." ”

Jingmo couldn't hide the disappointment in her heart, it turned out that in her heart, her own safety was far less important than the overall situation, and she asked for such a result by pouring out the wine, and asked such a result, it was really a big move, and he took his own humiliation, and he left silently sadly.
