Chapter 40: Heaven and Soul
It was still a quiet morning, and although Zhao Yue'er's cry was not loud, it was like a sharp gong, forcing Li Yu to get up in a hurry and rush to Zhao Yue'er's side.
To Li Yu's surprise, there was nothing unusual outside the house. The dim oil lamp was already faint against the background of the daylight outside the window, but it could still make Li Yu see clearly that it was indeed Zhao Yue'er lying on the table alone and sobbing.
Tears stained the handkerchief, adding more than a dozen tears to the old table. Looking at the appearance of tears on the table, it was expected that Zhao Yue'er had been crying for a long time, crying silently, the more she cried, the more bitter she became, and finally she couldn't help crying.
Li Yu secretly wondered: "Why is she so sad? Although I can't protect myself, she has a great kindness to me, but I can't turn a blind eye. ”
So Li Yu coughed lightly and said softly, "Miss Zhao, what's wrong with you?"
Zhao Yue'er didn't seem to expect Li Yu to get up so early, she stood up in a panic, her hands were embarrassed, and she hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "No, it's not much." It's not good for me to mess up, I actually woke up Brother Li. ”
Li Yu said: "If Miss Zhao has any troubles, she can say it bluntly. It's true that I can't protect myself, but I may not be able to solve your worries. ”
As he spoke, he saw Li Yu take out the "Star Picking Order" from the treasure bag: "Don't look at this as just a small token, it is the treasure that people in the fairy forest dream of." As long as the girl takes this token to the market, someone will send you to the Star Picking Tower. At that time, with this token, the girl can make a request, and perhaps the girl can make up for her regrets. ”
Zhao Yue'er looked puzzled: "What is the place of the Star Picking Tower? ”
Li Yu was about to explain, but Zhao Yue'er hurriedly shook her hand, her voice was full of gratitude, but also full of sadness: "I know that this token is very heavy and worth 10,000 gold, why does Little Brother Li give me this mountain woman casually? Please take back the token." I, there's really nothing going on. ”
"Miss Zhao not only saved my life, but also took care of my diet and daily life these days. The girl is a grace to me. The girl obviously had a hard time, but she refused to talk to me, which obviously thought that Li Yu was powerless. It makes me ashamed and ashamed. ”
Hearing Li Yu's words of self-blame, Zhao Yue'er hurriedly said, "No, I didn't deliberately hide it from Little Brother Li...... That's it, I'll tell you, I just hope you don't make fun of me. ”
Li Yu secretly wondered in his heart: "Teasing, why did you suddenly say the word teasing?" But at this time, Li Yu was inconvenient to take the liberty of asking, but said: "Please tell the girl truthfully, Li Yu doesn't dare to make fun of it." ”
Zhao Yue'er suddenly lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I was born with dark skin, and I am extremely ugly. There are also these black moles as big as copper coins on his face, which cover most of his face, which is even more daunting. Even the widowers in the village thought I was unlucky, and no one told me about marrying. Now I'm thirty-two, and I've always been alone, and no one has ever been able to understand my loneliness. I also want to be like other women, there is a warm and hot Lang Jun. ”
Li Yu couldn't help but be stunned, but he really didn't expect that the reason for Zhao Yue'er's sadness was that she was spending her time in spring and autumn.
This kind of daughter's family feelings is not something that he can solve as a teenager who doesn't understand amorous feelings. Listening to a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet talking about the love of children in such a grand manner really makes Li Yu very embarrassed.
It's just that it shouldn't be, it was Li Yu himself who insisted that Zhao Yue'er say his bitterness. Now that he is seeking benevolence, Li Yu really can't help but follow the example of Ye Gong, who is a good dragon, and can only sigh slightly, say some words of encouragement, indicating that he is listening carefully: "The girl is kind-hearted, and she will always meet Ruyi Langjun who takes care of you." ”
"Brother Li doesn't have to comfort me, if there is really such a wishful husband in the world, it is not something that a woman like me can have, hey, hey. ”
Li Yu had no choice but to comfort indiscriminately: "The road of life is long, the girl is still young, why is she so decadent? Oh, haven't you heard of this poetry girl? By the way, as the saying goes, if you have the intention to plant flowers, the flowers will not bloom, and if you have no intention to plant willows and willows. He also said that there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them. The girl just laughs heartily, and I believe that she will soon find a good husband who loves you. ”
Zhao Yue'er suddenly said: "Little Brother Li, don't you still know my heart? Do you have to tell you clearly? Actually, I've been in love with you for a long time!"
This sound was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and it was so powerful that it was even comparable to the drum messenger's move "Ten Thousand Drums in Qilao", which instantly made Li Yu have a headache, and even his eyes were at a loss, and he hurriedly moved half an inch away, avoiding Zhao Yue'er's eyes.
But I heard Zhao Yue'er crying again, but at this time, the crying was no longer sharp and turbulent, but low and sentimental, like a complaint.
Li Yu knew that his eyes were evasive, which had hurt Zhao Yue'er's heart, but he was helpless, and reluctantly comforted: "Miss Zhao, we haven't been together for a long time, I really can't imagine that you will favor me." Not to mention that I have a grudge against you at the moment, and I can't repay your kindness. It's that I'm idle, and I don't think about family for the time being. The girl is in love with each other, and I am really ashamed. ”
Zhao Yue'er cried and said: "I already knew, I already knew! Although your face was ruined, you must not have been an ordinary person before." Although you have suffered temporarily, it seems that the prince in the story fell into the people, and he will return to the palace after all, and it will not have anything to do with an ugly woman like me. ”
Li Yu was silent for a moment, although he was very guilty, he could only cut through the mess quickly: "With all due respect, I can't accept Miss Zhao's good intentions." In my heart, Miss Zhao is not insignificant, but has a very high status. But I am full of gratitude to you, and there is no trace of pity. ”
Seeing Zhao Yue'er crying again, Li Yu couldn't bear it and comforted: "Miss Zhao, you don't have to worry about your appearance. In fact, you are kind-hearted, and in my eyes, charm is better than beauty, and you must not despise yourself like this. Don't hide it from the girl, I used to be handsome, but now you can see my face, it's miserable, but I don't care at all. Heaven and I work in my form, I Yi and my heart to make up for it; ”
Seeing Zhao Yue'er's face full of doubts, Li Yu explained slightly: "The meaning of these two sentences is that even if God makes me suffer setbacks, I will still not give up and will not despair." 'I' just had an outward change, like a disfigured face now. The 'I' is the true self within, which has never changed. Even if you encounter ups and downs, as long as you recognize your heart, you are still fearless. ”
Zhao Yue'er didn't seem to understand, but sighed and said, "I still don't understand what you said." But these days, after getting along, I listen to you say these big truths from time to time, and say some very literate poems and sentences, but I like your literary way of speaking. Although I don't understand, I feel more and more in love with you. ”
