Chapter 285: Huang Liang (7)
But I care......"
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think much about it, he just said: "This matter is not that Brother Hong is implicated in the concubine, but in fact, the concubine's own life is not good, and she married such a person......"
Hong Tuo came back to his senses, and in front of him was Qin's delicate appearance, and he was a little lost for a while: "It has something to do with me, and I will ask Mrs. to take good care of herself in the future......"
There was nothing to say at this point, Qin glanced at Hong again, and turned to leave after saying goodbye.
Hong Tuo stared at Qin's back in a daze, trying to see something through her, but in the end he only saw her disappear at the door of the prison, shook her head with a wry smile, and continued to go back to her bed and sit down.
After that, the time was full of boredom and silence, there was nothing else to do all day except eating and drinking, and I happened to see a ray of sunlight into the room and felt fresh, the old man was also a stuffy gourd, and the two of them took it together for a long time, but they never said a word.
Hong Tuo didn't know how he endured these boredom and boredom, and occasionally dreamed of the past at night, although there was a sigh in his heart, he didn't have any nostalgia at all, only felt that a heart was ancient and there were no waves, as if nothing could set off ripples.
The days passed like this, the old man in the same room after a spring cold, contracted the wind cold, after which most of the time was lingering in bed, Hong Teasing couldn't bear it, he occasionally coughed and was thirsty when he would pour water on his back, and gradually he could talk to the old man. Later, I learned that the mistakes made by the old man were almost the same as him, and he was also persecuted, and he hurt people in a hurry, but Hong Tuo still had parents and brothers to worry about in his heart, and the old man's children, grandchildren and other relatives were all persecuted, and there was no concern in his heart, and he was alive like a walking corpse, but he could only gasp.
The old man lingered like this for a few months, and finally whimpered in the autumn of that year, and he was not sad when he went, but only persuaded Hong Tease with a relieved face: "You are still young, your family is alive, and you still have some thoughts when you are alive, there is no need to look through life and death all day long, think about some truth, and have your own good life after you go out......"
Because he didn't look very good, Hong Tuo could only nod his head in agreement, seeing that his eyes were gradually distracted, and his heart was even more uncomfortable with a blunt knife, and asked him: "Why does the old man think people live in this life, why is it so difficult to live?"
The old man smiled: "I don't know why I live, but the rules and regulations are too scruples, and I can't help myself everywhere......
At the end of his words, there was still a residual smile on the corner of his mouth, and he closed his eyes and left.
After that, there was only one person left in the cell, and he would occasionally stare at the old man's room in a daze, which had been replaced with a new bedding, waiting for the next prisoner to sleep, but the security in Dou Cheng was really good, and he had never welcomed a new person.
Sometimes, when it is difficult to sleep late at night, Hong Tuo stares at the dark wall in a daze, and he can't help but think of the day when the old man left, the weather was exceptionally good, and the warm yellow autumn sun shone into some warm light from the prison gate, so that most of the prisoners in the dark could get a brief glimpse of these lights.
Mrs. Hong always comes to see frequently, but after a year or two, the number of times gradually decreases, judging from the melancholy between her eyebrows every time she comes, the situation outside is not good, but Mrs. Hong doesn't say that Hong teases or asks, because after all, others can't help inside, but will distract them. As for Master Hong, he never came in to visit Hong Tuo once, and later, Mrs. Hong did not come to visit Hong Tuo for a long time, Hong Tuo felt a little uneasy, and there was no way to ask someone to inquire about the situation outside, so he was so worried that the Qin family would not come to visit for many years after a few days.
Compared with the beginning, Qin's complexion is much more ruddy now, and his face is also richer, which shows that he has lived well in recent years, but there seems to be a sadness hidden between his eyebrows, which makes Hong Tea's heart tighten.
"I haven't seen Mrs. for a long time, presumably Mrs. won't come here for no reason, but what happened to Hongfu?"
Qin's expression froze, revealing a wry smile: "The concubine body also knows whether she should hide it from Brother Hong, and she will also know it, rather than waiting to hear it when she comes out in the future, it is better to know now and be mentally prepared." ”
Hong Tuo just looked at her, waiting for her next words.
Qin sighed: "Your brother's case has been decided, and after many years of ups and downs, it was finally confirmed that he had correspondence with the prince, His Majesty was the most taboo of these, and was sentenced to exile, and then he was found out by someone with a heart Uncle Hong dredged the evidence above with silver money, I am afraid that there is a suspicion of bribery, and now the Hong family has been copied, and the uncle and aunt were temporarily arranged by the concubine in a secluded small courtyard outside the city, in addition to the emotional instability, there is no physical problem, and please Brother Hong Don't worry too much......"
Hong teased the money that his father took away from him a few years ago, saying that he was going to save his brother, but now it seems that these hidden dangers are buried, after all, the ancient family is not as good as Zhong Ding's household......
"Thank you Madame for your trouble, when I go out, I will definitely repay Madame. ”
Qin said quietly: "It's nothing, the Yang family once owed you, I just hope that Brother Hong will have a good life to think about in the next period, don't take life and death as before, uncle and aunt still need you to take care of it." ”
Hong Tuo thanked Qin again, only to feel that some shackles were entangled again, and his heart was a little heavy, and after Qin left, he sat on the edge of the bed and thought about it.
I think he followed Yang Chongjiang when he was young, and stayed in the land of fireworks and moons, but except for the fake kidnapping, he never crossed the bottom line in his heart after all, and he also envied the spring breeze and horseshoe disease, and saw the wanton pleasure of Chang'an flowers in one day.
Thinking that Hong Tuo gradually sank into the dream, the dream was very long, like the endless river in the dream, he waded through the water, the sticky and soft mud under his feet, and every step would consume a lot of strength. There were fireflies all around, and there seemed to be some light ahead, and Hong Tuo just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible, so he sped up.
In the light, there seems to be someone holding a bamboo raft in front of him, there is a rod swimming forward, the slender figure seems to be a woman, Hong Tuo wants to open his mouth to shout, he opens his mouth and doesn't know what to call, and he can't make a sound in his mouth. When his gaze fell on the man, there was a touch of clear green in his originally gray vision, and the whole world was painted in color when he entered the ink smudge, which was a colorful world that he had never seen.
Wait a minute......
That figure seemed to have been seen somewhere, which haunted him, and he had been confused by similar figures many times, but this time he knew very well that what was in front of him was what he wanted to find.
The water in front of him became deeper and deeper, and after a while it reached his shoulders, and the road under his feet became more and more difficult to walk, so he had to give up walking and start swimming, but the bamboo raft was getting farther and farther away, as if it was about to disappear into the light......
