Chapter 207: Seeking and Seeking
He stood for a moment, took two steps back, and sat down in his chair. The magic knife fell to the ground, but the paper was still in his hand.
He saw Lin Qiao writing when he was in Jinghui Building. That night, she wrote on a piece of gold-sprinkled rice paper, "Spring is coming late."
These four words are her slender and delicate font.
He only felt that his mind was as bright as the blue brick floor in the courtyard outside the hall, and he couldn't think of anything. After staying in this state of confusion for a while, his eyes slowly fell to the short black brown on the side, and his body shook violently and he came to his senses.
He immediately burst out of his body and rushed out of the hospital. He could walk a thousand paces, and like a gust of wind, he shook all around the house. When they didn't see anyone, they rushed into the courtyards of each house and looked at them one by one. When only Chang's house was not searched, he didn't care if there was any formation, so he rushed in.
But the courtyard gate and courtyard wall suddenly flashed with a burst of white light, and dozens of unrecognizable humanoid lights and shadows stood on the wall, staring at him expressionlessly. He felt a strong force forcing him back, as if he had hit an iron plate.
He immediately returned to his body, first went to the house to put on his armor, bring a sword, and lead a horse, and ran to the door of Chang's house in person. He jumped off his horse, slammed the door with his fist, and shouted, "Someone!
The door was opened, and a little girl looked at him like this, and was startled, and cried out, "You...... Who?"
Li Bochen pushed her away and stepped into the door, shouting, "Xiaoman!!"
The little girl was so frightened behind him that she didn't dare to move, she screamed twice, Chang Qiuwu walked out quickly from behind the wall, and was stunned for a moment when she saw him, and said, "Li ...... Dude, what's going on?"
Li Bochen glared: "Mr. Chang, did you see my little man?"
Chang Qiuwu reacted for a while before he said, "Your lady?"
Li Bochen only felt a chill on his body, and took a deep breath: "Don't lie to me." β
Chang Qiuwu said: "Brother Li...... Oh, Grandpa, what the hell is going on?"
Li Bochen shook his head, turned around and left, and said, "Disturb!"
He rushed out of the door and jumped on the horse again, Chang Qiuwu shouted something behind him a few more times, and he didn't want to hear it anymore. There was only one thought left in his head - why did she leave? and why?
After running like this for dozens of steps, another thought came to his mind, and he gritted his teeth and didn't think about it. But the thought went up little by little like an awl, and it broke his heart. He raised his hand and wiped his face fiercely, and in the end he took the horse's head with him, and rushed back to the Chang family's house, and said, "Mr. Chang, you tell me the truth, why do you think I'm Sui Buxiu?!"
Chang Qiuwu opened his mouth and didn't answer him for a while. Li Bochen gritted his teeth and said: "Because of that pair of earrings? You said that the pair of pendants were lapis lazurite that day, because of this? What is the origin of that thing!?"
Chang Qiuwu looked down the slope of his house again, thought about it again, and finally spoke: "That thing is made by the Sui Imperial Court. β
Li Bochen felt his body shake and almost fell off the horse. He closed his eyes and opened them again, "Are you sure?"
Chang Qiuwu sighed: "Meng Niangzi's mother-in-law also went in and out of the Li State court in her early years to serve the concubines. If you don't believe me, ask her. She also knows the goods. Brother Li, your lady, she ......"
Li Bochen sat stunned on the horse for a while, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained. "She's gone." β
Chang Qiuwu thought about it and seemed to say something. But he only said, "...... Oh. β
Li Bochen let out a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Chang." I'm going to travel far away. β
Chang Qiuwu immediately said, "Where are you going?"
Li Bochen smiled: "I don't know." Mr. Chang, help me take care of my house. β
When he had said this, he threw a dozen horses and galloped out.
The wind was whistling in his ears, and he stared ahead, one thought after another popping out of his mind. He remembered what Lin Qiao had said for Fang Yuan, the words he had said to himself before, and all the piles and piles in the past 20 days. He shouted in his heart, "Who the hell are you!?"
But he thought he knew the answer. Now his head was as cold as ice, and many thoughts pierced out like knives, and he felt his scalp tingle.
That accomplice of Yelu...... The man who has never been tracked down by himself.
Why did Yelu fight with himself that night......? Actually, it's a dead man.
He has always felt that the days of the past twenty days are too good, like a dream. But in the end, is it really a dream? A dream that others call themselves?
The horses rushed into town, and he didn't stop. The horse's hooves flew so startled that passers-by shouted for avoidance, and he rushed out of town on horseback.
I don't know how long he ran, and when the roads on both sides became dense forests, he finally said to himself: She is that person. The one I didn't find. She is not the real Lin Qiao.
The white horse was out of breath, and he tugged at the reins to slow it down.
After walking for a while, I felt a chill on my face. He raised his hand and wiped his face, it was tears. He looked up and let out a sigh, and when he saw that there was no one on the road, he felt even more sour in his heart.
Is it for borrowing?, he thought. When I think of the word "borrowed seeds", I feel like a knife. What a heartless and senseless word...... Is she so ruthless and unrighteous to herself? Are all the things she does and the words she says these days for these two words?
No...... No, how could it be?
He remembered the phrase - "You are the best person in this world". Why did she say this? Why did she call herself what her name was? And why did she tell herself that if there was another surname Li in this world, it would be better for her to run a business here?
He felt a burst of pain in his heart, and a burst of hatred. I don't know who this hate is to, but I don't want to go to her. She can't help herself, right? Why else would she say those words? Those words...... If it weren't for the fact that I was fascinated by love these days, if I was in normal times, I would definitely feel that something was wrong.
She also used the pair of pendants to exchange for the house, didn't she think that it might show flaws......? Are you really in a hurry to buy it and want to give yourself a home?
Then why did she leave suddenly today? Was it because she was going to Chang's house? She was afraid that the Chang family would say to herself, why did she mistake herself for Sui Buxiu?
If...... A few days later, will she stay a little longer?
A thought arose in his heart - to go to that realm. Wait until one hundred and twenty, and ask him to summon all the shadows from all over the country to look for them together. When she found out that she was gone, she was away for two quarters of an hour, but no matter how far she went, she hadn't left the Li realm, could she always be found.
When he thought of this, he immediately stopped his horse, wanting to return to that realm. But as soon as I cursed in my heart, I stopped again.
But what if you find her, what do you say, how do you deal with it?
Li Bochen felt that his heart was slowly sinking. She can't help herself...... She must be from the Son of Heaven's side. They want another surname Li, and it's under their control!
And then? What if a child is born...... They got rid of themselves and Linxijun, so that the child inherited the luck of Beichen?
But it was the child of the two of us, how could her heart be so ruthless? No...... Li Bochen remembered what she said before - "No matter what happens, for me, for Chensheng or Nianci, you have to survive." β
Is that what she is talking about?
Li Bochen's heart sank...... She is telling me to save them! But how can I save them, what can I save, what can I do, can I keep them safe for the rest of my life!?
He grabbed the reins, gritted his teeth, and said secretly, Xiaoman, I don't hate you. I don't hate you at all...... To hate, I hate only the way of the world, and the people who told you to do this...... Hate myself!
If you want me to be like Linxi Jun Li Shengyi now, why are you like this?!
Don't be in a hurry when you tell me to do big things...... Okay, I'm not in a hurry...... But one day, I'm going to call you back!
He said this in his heart several times before he felt less pain in his chest. But after walking for a while, I saw the forest next to me, and remembered that the two of them also walked on this road a few days ago, and I couldn't help but shed two tears, and thought, does she really have feelings for me?
He knew that he really didn't look like a person at the moment, but the thoughts in his heart rolled and rolled like a storm, and he couldn't calm down no matter what. After walking for an hour or two, he gradually saw Hou Cheng in the distance.
He set up his horse, squinted his eyes and looked at the horizon, and a thought came to him.
I'm going back to the lake. He wanted to see what Xiaoman carved on the wooden sign by the lake that night, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not be at ease in this life.
But until then, you have to do something. Li Bochen gritted his teeth and thought, in this world, everyone wants a stable and happy life. In the past twenty days, I have lived too happily. If it was a dream, it was really a dreamβin such a world, do you really expect that to last long? Even if she won't leave, she stays, if the demon kingdom invades, if someone else comes to find trouble for her, what will she do to defend it?
And now, why don't I dare to go to her again? Because I am afraid that I will not be able to keep it if I find it...... That's a hundred times more painful than knowing nothing!
He raised his head sharply and roared, and rode his horse towards Hou Cheng.
The gates of the city were also guarded by officers and soldiers. Li Bochen wanted to rush straight in and not talk to anyone. But he gritted his teeth and got off his horse, slowing down in the crowd. When the soldiers checked him, he remembered that he was wearing armor, and he was afraid that it was very conspicuous.
But when the soldier saw him, he shrank his neck and hurriedly put him in.
He led his horse down the streets of the city, remembered the scene of the two days he had come here to buy, and breathed a sigh of relief, not asking himself to think about it again.
walked until he walked to the door of the tea shop where he met the storyteller Zheng Zhao that day, and really saw him talking. Li Bochen didn't have the heart to listen, he just led the horse and stood by the wall. Zheng Zhao said for a while, and said busily: "Everyone, everyone, I have something important today, so I'll be here first!"
The crowd let out a boo, Zheng Zhao confessed again and again, squeezed out, walked quickly to Li Bochen and said, "It's Mr. Chen! Great, I still want to look for you in the next two daysβare you here to come later?"
Seeing his armor again, he was stunned: "...... are you?"
Li Bochen smiled reluctantly and said, "Mr. Zheng, I have something to travel." Before I go, I'll tell you about the next twenty times. β
Zheng Zhao looked at his face and hesitated: "What are you...... Do you want me to help?"
These words are very heartwarming, but Li Bochen only feels that his heart is like a piece of ice, and he can't get hot for a while. He shook his head, led the horse to the side, and said, "No need, thank you." Mr. Zheng, let's talk about it here. β
He tied his horse, walked to the tea shop and went up to the second floor, and found a private room. Zheng Zhao followed all the way behind, and didn't ask any more questions. Li Bochen sat down by the window, sighed lightly, and said, "Mr. Zheng, please prepare paper and pen, I'll start." β
Zheng Zhao nodded hurriedly, and also sat down opposite him, ready pen and ink.
He didn't ask much, but Li Bochen felt a little more comfortable, so he spoke. He originally thought that when he told Zheng Zhao about this book, firstly, he would deal with the things he promised others, and secondly, he could tell himself not to think about anything else for the time being. But when it came to the word "Li's" by Li Guotai's wife in the twentieth book, he suddenly felt sadness and almost cried in front of Zheng Zhao.
He paused and took two deep breaths before continuing.
When he told Zheng Zhao last time, he couldn't help but be amazed and amazed when he arrived at the highlights. But this time I listened very quietly, and I didn't even move much.
When the sun went down and the guy came in and took the lamp, Li Bochen finished speaking. He stood up and arched his hand: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I'll go first." β
Zheng Zhao hurriedly stood up and said, "Slow." β
Li Bochen stopped, and Zhang Zhao reached out to withdraw the money from his pocket. Li Bochen said: "No need. I don't need money for the time being. β
Zheng Zhao thought about it, looked at his face again, then withdrew his hand, and sighed: "Mr. Chen, you and I haven't known each other for a long time, and I don't know what happened to you." But listen to me, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of running out of firewood. As long as this man is alive, the trouble will always pass. β
Li Bochen almost cried again, turned his face away, and said, "Okay, thank you." β
He went downstairs and found his horse to sit on, and went slowly south, out of the city through the south gate.
The last wisp of red glow on the horizon was also burned out, and he rode his horse slowly, then walked quickly, and then galloped wildly. He remembered that he had done the same more than twenty days ago on the night. But at that time, when he turned the horse's head and walked back, he could still see Xiaoman sitting alone under the tree.
He felt a tightness in his chest, and a breath of trembling welled up to his throat and spurted out at once. He finally couldn't help but cry in the night, crying and shouting, "What kind of hero!? What is a hero!?"
He didn't know how long he had been roaring, but he was so startled that the birds in the forest flew up, and his ears were numb. When he felt that the qi in his chest was finally exhausted, he suddenly stopped his voice, wiped his tears fiercely, and said, "Okay." I've cried enough. β
At this time, the moon was rising tomorrow, and he also slowly slowed down his horse's speed. He didn't know where he had gone, so he looked up at the moon and looked for a direction. But this slowdown, I could hear the sound of horses' hooves behind me, as if someone was following from afar.
Li Bochen's heart jumped, and the first thought that came to him was: Is it Xiaoman!?
He knew the chance was pitiful, but he still held the hilt of his sword with one hand and pulled the reins with the other, and turned his head sharply to look over.
There is indeed a ride on the road. But it's just a black-robed man.
