The Journey of the Youth's Rivers and Lakes Chapter 40 The Past
The sky was very unbeautiful, and after Wang Yi waited for a while, with the sound of the sky, the heavy rain finally fell. Standing at the door of the pawn shop, Wang Yi looked at the deserted street, and the rainstorm came to the street in an instant.
The merchant still didn't come out of the pawn shop.
Wang Yi stood under the eaves, watching the time pass little by little, without the slightest hurry, he was very patient.
The street where the pawn shop is located looks very deserted, and there are few shops around, Wang Yi found a shop that was still open, and finally said that the boss allowed him to stop and stand here, and saw the merchant girl walk out of the pawn shop.
The merchant lady held on to the door of the pawn shop and walked out slowly, as if she didn't notice the torrential rain between heaven and earth, and walked into it with one foot, and the torrential rain instantly engulfed the merchant girl.
Wang Yi opened an umbrella in his hand and hurriedly stepped forward.
The people in front of her and Wang Yi are like two people, their eyes are dull, and their bodies seem to be walking on the street with their memories, wandering aimlessly, as if they are a person with an interesting soul.
Wang Yi obviously felt that Shang Niang had just experienced a heart-wrenching blow. Then, Wang Yi handed the umbrella in his hand to Shang Niang, who raised her head, glanced at Wang Yi, and then turned her head, did not take the umbrella, and continued to walk in the torrential rain.
Wang Yi held the umbrella, was slightly stunned, looked at the back of Shang Niang in the distance, and after a little silence, he followed again.
Ganzhou City does not have a curfew similar to Chang'an City, but it has military regulations for closing the city gates. Since the allotted time had not yet been reached, the gates were not closed.
The merchant girl's clothes were wet from the rainstorm, but she didn't care, raised her right hand and wiped the rain that obscured her vision. Continue on your way. Due to the heavy rain, Shang Niang did not take a few steps before falling into a puddle on the ground due to the heavy rain, and then got up again and continued to move forward.
The merchant's clothes were full of mud and rain, and it looked distressing.
Wang Yi wanted to come forward to help Shang Niang several times, but after being rejected for the first time, Wang Yi just watched from a distance and did not come forward.
After walking out of the street where the pawn shop was located, the merchant lady walked towards the east of Ganzhou City, all the way to the city gate.
Wang Yi followed closely behind Shang Niang, watching Shang Niang walk out of Ganzhou City, he had a bad premonition, Shang Niang would not kill herself, right?
At this time, the city gate was just at the time of closing, and Wang Yi was stopped not far from the city gate.
Wang Yi didn't care much, and used the cultivation of Tongxuan, the starlight flowed, and quickly passed through the city gate, and the surrounding guards did not notice it in the slightest.
In the case of using Xinghui, Wang Yi saw the weak back of Shang Niang walking on the pipeline from a distance. Wang Yi said secretly: It's so dangerous, I finally kept up.
This official road is the road where Wang Yi and the others entered Ganzhou City, but there is a very beautiful lake on this road, so Wang Yi subconsciously took a few more looks.
But Wang Yi will not be easy next, he saw that next to the official road is the beautiful lake, at this time Wang Yi finally understood what Shang Niang came here for.
She was going to kill herself.
Due to the closure of the city gate, Wang Yi did not keep up with Shang Niang's footsteps in time, there was still a long distance between them, and there was no time to think about it, Shang Niang had already walked into the lake, and Shang Niang's feet and calves were flooded by the lake.
Wang Yi broke off a branch, attached Starlight to it, and threw it at Shang Niang, and the branch hit Shang Niang, knocking her down to the lake. Wang Yi took this opportunity to speed up his pace and came to Shang Niang's side.
Shang Niang covered the injured place, looked at Wang Yi who came to her side and shouted, "Leave me alone, let me die." ”
Wang Yi walked to the side of the merchant lady, put the umbrella beside him, let the rainstorm wash over him, and quietly looked at the lake under the rainstorm, without saying a word.
Shang Niang had some accidents this time, this person saved herself, but she didn't say anything, she was really a weirdo.
"Hey, don't you want to say something?"
Wang Yi wiped the rain from his face with his hands and said quietly: "What do you say, persuade you not to die?"
Wang Yi turned his head to look at Shang Niang, "I said that if you don't die, you won't die." ”
Shang Niang shook her head and said, "No." ”
Wang Yi spread his hands, "That's it, so what do I say, I'm not you, I haven't experienced your things, what qualifications do I have to persuade you." ”
The fact is that when a person can't understand or feel uncomfortable because of feelings or other reasons, we are not themselves, we have not experienced what they have experienced, we can't say anything to them, what we can do is to accompany them silently, without words, words that are better than all things.
Wang Yi knew this truth very well, and when Uncle Qi Wang left, he sat in the Ghost Valley, facing the largest tree at that time, and did it for a day, and his senior brothers would pass by here every time, sit beside him, and read the book quietly without words.
Shang Niang stood up, picked up the umbrella that had fallen all over again, covered herself, and gently kicked Wang Yi, who was sitting there.
"Hey, I'm better, let's go back. ”
Wang Yi looked helpless, he had never seen such a repeated woman, "I have a name, my name is Wang Yi." ”
"Oh, let's go back. ”
Wang Yi no longer cared about the title of Shang Niang, stood up, held the umbrella, and said with a smile: "It's really whimsical, go back now, I can, you are a person who has no cultivation, ridiculous." ”
"You. Shang Niang stretched out her slender finger and pointed at Wang Yi, who was gloating there, and then turned around and walked in the direction she came.
Wang Yi ignored Shang Niang's departure, because Shang Niang would come back here sooner or later, and he only needed to wait for a while, but before that, the most important thing was to find a place to shelter from the rain, otherwise he would not be able to resist the power of nature in heaven and earth in his advanced cultivation.
Wang Yi started to run the starlight, and disappeared into the lake in an instant.
Only the torrential rain stirred up large and small splashes on the surface of the lake.
After a while, Shang Niang's figure appeared by the lake, but this time there was no Wang Yi's presence here, Shang Niang was very scared and hid next to a big stone, looking at the surrounding dark woods and pipes, Shang Niang's palms began to sweat slowly, she was afraid.
Time and heavy rain are washing away the strong psychological defense line of Shang Niang, because of her own willfulness, she has fallen into the current situation, and Shang Niang regrets it.
"Hey, why didn't you go back?"
At this time, Wang Yi stood not far away with an umbrella, looking at the merchant with a wicked smile.
When Shang Niang saw Wang Yi's arrival, she threw down her umbrella, ran to Wang Yi in a few steps, hugged him and cried.
"Wang Yi, it's too scary, don't go. ”
Wang Yi smiled bitterly, "Don't go, don't go, can you let go of me." ”
Shang Niang hugged Wang Yi's arms and tightened a little.
"Don't, don't. ”
Shang Niang's head was about to shake into a rattle, and her face was firm, letting go of Wang Yi was impossible.
Wang Yi had no choice but to take the merchant girl with him, pick up the umbrella that the merchant had thrown away, and walk towards a forest.
In a cave, Shang Niang and Wang Yi took off their coats and put them next to the bonfire, so that they would not be so uncomfortable when they wore clothes tomorrow.
Sitting next to the bonfire, the merchant stared at the burning wood and thought to herself: I don't know where Wang Yi got the wood, which can be lit on a rainy day.
Wang Yi looked at the stunned businessman, she finally got rid of this "burden", and she was about to die of exhaustion.
"Hey, thank you today. ”
Shang Niang said to Wang Yi, and finally added, "Wang Yi." ”
It was rare for Shang Niang to say a word of thanks to Wang Yi, Wang Yi was very happy, but when she thought of Shang Niang's torture just now, she was not happy at all.
For a moment, inside the cave, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Wang Yi pursed his lips and asked, "How could you commit suicide, this is not like the heroic style of your chartered inn." ”
Shang Niang put her chin on her lap, Shang Niang still had some impressions of this guard who usually had almost no words, after all, she couldn't even recognize the guard, but it was a big problem.
"You should know about me. ”
Wang Yi lay on the ground and said, "I just know that your father-in-law went to the border on the second day of your marriage, and then died in battle." ”
Shang Niang said: "The caravan was established by me with the help of my husband's family after the death of my husband. But my husband's family insisted on assigning my brother-in-law to join the caravan, in the name of supervising whether I was abusing my power for personal gain. ”
Shang Niang's small hand was clenched and knocked her leg, probably too hard, causing Shang Niang's hand and thigh to ache at the same time, covering her hands and thighs, and Wang Yi couldn't close her mouth with a smile when she saw it.
"Today, when I came back from a trip, I found that he had stolen the only relic left to me by my father-in-law, exchanged it for money, and went to gamble. On Shang Niang's face, tears flowed down involuntarily, and pear blossoms brought rain.
Wang Yi sat in place, also at a loss, looking at the crying businessman, Wang Yi slowly took out an object and put it in his hand.
Fortunately, the merchant lady quickly recovered from the gaffe, "I just went to the pawnshop to redeem the relics, but I was told that someone bought it at a high price, and I couldn't think about it for a while, so I came here." ”
Listening to the words of the merchant lady, Wang Yi stretched out the hand and slowly took it back, and what he held in that hand was the relics of the merchant lady that Wang Yi redeemed from the pawnshop.
Wang Yi is not returning it to Shang Niang now, nor is it if he doesn't return it to her.
Shang Niang didn't notice Wang Yi's movements at all, holding her delicate body, still immersed in memories.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yi opened his mouth and said, "Ahem, Shang Niang, I have something for you here." ”
Shang Niang raised her head, looked at Wang Yi, and asked, "What is it?" ”
Wang Yi stretched out his hand and slowly opened it, revealing a hairpin.
Shang Niang looked at the familiar hairpin, which was the one left by her father-in-law.
"Wang Yi, you bastard. ”
Wang Yi hurriedly covered his ears, and at the same time moved away from Shang Niang again, to prevent Shang Niang from running away unreasonably again. While retreating, do not forget to put the hairpin on the ground.
Shang Niang stood up, took the hairpin back, and then ignored Wang Yi again, and sat there in a quiet daze.
