79
After Xia Shi and Hua Han returned, I stayed in the empty room, bored. So I started cleaning the room, from the doorway to the dead corner under the bed. From the crack in the door to the chopsticks, from the ceiling to the bookshelf. Temporary forgetfulness is delightful. But soon I remembered Tao Yao's safety. Her residence, Xiaoxi, knows that if they do bad things to her, I am thousands of miles away, how can I help. But I was helpless and refused to go down the mountain, she liked it there because there was nothing there. There is no sorrow and no joy, no loneliness and no reunion. Emptiness makes people forget themselves.
I'm not good at changing other people's minds, but my own minds are often changed. I respect Tao Yao's decision, and sometimes I wonder if the respect I speak of is my own weakness or an excuse to escape. I saw the people I liked leave one by one, from the enthusiasm when we first met, to the dispensable now, and maybe they became strangers after a while. When we meet on the road after the new year, it's like a stranger. Zijun is, and so is Taoyao. They have gradually become strangers.
How I ruined my life!
In the evening, I ate some dumplings at my uncle's house and hurried to Lingbo's place.
From a distance, I saw that the lights of Limbo Villa were much brighter than usual. Even the leaves outside the walls are wrapped in a layer of white light, swaying their bodies to celebrate this unforgettable moment.
I got on the phone, and Limbo stood at the door early to pick me up. She wore a white evening gown with a pair of crystal earrings and a pendant bun. She stood in front of the door, the evening breeze caressing her hair and skirt, beautiful and not eating the fireworks of the world.
"Sorry, it's late," I said.
"No, it's just right. She smiled like an epiphany in the most beautiful moments.
"You're so beautiful today," I said
The flush crept up her cheeks: "Today's birthday, it's a little lighter." Don't laugh at me. โ
"Hasn't anyone ever complimented you like that before?" I asked.
"Wellโโ, yes, but it's you. Her face turned redder.
We arrived at Tingshui Pavilion, where Shanbi, Xiaoyuan, Banyuan, and her father were already sitting around the table. However, there is no one else except these few people, not like the top ten richest people in the country, but like the girl next door.
"Do you have so few birthdays in previous years?" I asked.
"In previous years, there was my grandfather," she said.
"You're three minutes late," said Shanbi.
"It's nine minutes from the gate," I said.
"It's because Limbo is wearing an evening gown, that's why he walks so slowly. Madoka said.
"I think it's the two of you who are delaying the time," Ling Bo's father analyzed.
"Dad, don't talk nonsense" Ling Bo was angry.
"Hey, I said you don't have to be a few minutes late for this, you can act like a detective," I said.
"Come or not, sit next to me," Zen Master Banyuan beckoned to me. So I sat down next to him, and he waved to Limbo again. So Limbo sat next to me.
"No, let me ask you a question," said Zen Master Banyuan.
You say. โ
"Do you think my Lingbo looks good today?" asked Zen Master Banyuan.
"Zen master, you seem to have asked this question before," I said.
"Ahh
"You asked, Zen master. โ
"Then you will be an old fool, you say that my Lingbo is good-looking. โ
"Nice-" I replied.
"Have you ever seen anything more beautiful than Limbo?" he asked.
I don't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd: "I haven't seen it." โ
"You said that you put such a daughter-in-law at home and let her stay alone in the empty room, are you relieved?" said the Zen master.
"Limbo and I are only husband and wife in name, she is still innocent, and I can't ruin her future. I said.
"We don't treat you as an outsider," the Zen master said, patting me on the shoulder, "Ling Bo left her when she was very young. I met such a father again. She is still young and needs personal care. โ
I looked at Limbo, who was with her head buried in her chest and her hands wrapped around her belt. The shyness is moving.
"How can he marry Ling Bo in Xiade. I was not born into a wealthy family. Second, I am not a genius in the world, and besides, although there is a fate between me and Ling Bo, there is no part in it after all. โ
The Zen master smiled: "Rich family, you have seen several families that have been rich for three generations. Famous families, don't you see that prison is all their figures? You only know the genius of the world, but you don't know that the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. As for fate, I think you and Limbo are very close. Do you know that fate is destined, it's not yours, and it's useless to force it. It's yours, even the ends of the earth are with you. โ
I smiled helplessly, I am afraid that if I continue to debate with him like this, I will not be able to finish tomorrow. I had to be silent and not answer.
Diverting the subject, he said, "Isn't it Ling Bo's birthday today?" Why don't you see the cake. โ
Madoka got angry and said, "Zen Master, don't tell him, people who want to marry Ling Bo can line up and go around our country." What's the big deal, huh!"
"Madoka, you misunderstood," I replied immediately, for fear of being misunderstood.
"I'm mistaken, I'm not blind. Madoka became more and more angry.
I motioned with my eyes to ask him to help me say something. This bastard was enchanted with a schoolbag when my eyelids spasmed. I thought that I still had to tie the bell to unlock the bell, so I asked Ling Bo, "Where's today's birthday cake?" โ
Ling Bo came back to his senses: "I'll go and ask Mama Li to bring it." With that, he got up and left in a hurry.
"No, you see you made Limbo cry. Shanbi said.
I thought to myself, is Ling Bo crying? Besides, this guy is not concentrating on reading, how can he see Ling Bo crying? Could it be that his eyes were open on his forehead?
When it comes to me making Limbo cry, their eyes are all on me, like they're looking at a heinous criminal. I was so hairy that I stood up and said, "I'm going to see Limbo," and ignored the men and chased after Limbo.
Limbo stood under the vines, wiping tears from his eyes.
"Are you alright, Limbo?" I asked.
"No, my eyes are in the sand," she said.
"I'm sorry, didn't I say the wrong thing. โ
"No, it's really the sand in my eyes. โ
She turned around and forced a smile at me. The eyes are red. That Chu Chu appearance makes people can't help but want to hold it in their arms and comfort them.
"I'll go get the cake with you," I said.
"Hmm," she nodded, "Teacher, he likes to joke a lot, I know you have someone you like, don't worry." โ
I sighed: "I know"
We took the cake back, and they stopped talking. I thought to myself that Limbo's birthday must be just for half a story. However, Limbo didn't mind. After singing the birthday song and making a wish, then I distributed cakes to everyone, poured tea, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks like a housewife.
I asked Shanbi, do you know the snow jade of the Tianshan Mountains?
Yamabi nodded while eating cake, reading a book while listening to music in his ears. I guess I know you're so good-headed, but you don't have to show it off.
"What's the matter?" he asked
I told him about the four men in black taking the dragon pill. During the period, Tao Yao and Heilong didn't talk about the part they brought back to school, for fear that Ling Bo would be unhappy to hear it.
"Someone stole Long Dan" He put down the book and took off the headphones. He seemed to be more interested in Long Dan.
"Yes, I think your family runs an auction house, and you may know about this Tianshan Snow Jade. I said.
"The largest piece of Tianshan Snow Jade was auctioned at Deca Auction House last year, but it was only the size of a matchbox, and it couldn't be made into a bracelet. Ten years ago, however, it is said that someone picked up a palm-sized piece of snow jade, but it was presented to King Hammer. After that, there was no news. After Shanbi finished speaking, he put on his headphones again and began to read the book.
"According to what you mean, Xiao Xi may be a person in the Hammer Palace, and her status is still very high. I said.
"Not necessarily, there are a lot of fakes now. โ
"Why is it not possible?"
Shanbi looked at me with disdain: "The production of Tianshan snow jade from ancient times to the present is less than ten kilograms. The auction is all calculated by milligrams, there is no price in the market, who will make it into a bracelet. The wear and tear during this period is enough to buy a city. โ
I thought to myself that what Shanbi said might be right, but the clue was broken like this, and my heart was inevitably lost, so I ate the cake sullenly.
After a while, Shanbi saw that I was listless and said, "There is an unsolved case, I don't know if it has anything to do with your Long Dan, you sleep with me tonight, I'll tell you." โ
When I heard that Shanbi had a clue, I cheered up and immediately agreed to him.
Then everyone chatted a few words, after all, there was no common language, and they all dispersed.
