Chapter 66: What is Love?
Walking in the autumn forest stream, Chen Liujia, who was a little sad, gradually regained his mind, and the room moved slightly, but the girl who lived here left here.
The fragrance of flowers in the house is not stained.
Standing at the door, Fang Aotian seemed to be smiling, looking at Chen Liujia, who had reached the age of marriage, "Lord Chen, there is something in the words..."
Chen Liujia looked at him, shook his head and said, "What you can't understand without explaining, even if you explain it, you can't understand it." ”
Fang Aotian's will was still unfinished, he moved his gaze away from Chen Liujia, approached Fang Cheng's side, and said, "Since this is the case, I will accompany Fang Cheng to live here, and it can be regarded as a favor for Lord Chen, keeping an eye on this kid for you." ”
After that, the man reached out and pressed Fang Cheng's little head, the strength was just right, neither heavy nor light.
Fang Cheng, who was baptized by Fang Aotian's five fingers, couldn't move, so he had to squint at the pretty man beside him, "Aren't you afraid that I will squeeze you when you sleep at night?"
Fang Aotian ignored the young man's words, and deliberately looked into his arms, "Fang Cheng, have you forgotten a letter?"
Fang Cheng nodded soberly, took out a paper letter from his arms, looked at Chen Liujia, and said, "Uncle Chen, I have a mission to come down the mountain this time, and I want to entrust this letter to you." ”
After listening to Fang Cheng's words, Chen Liujia, who had a puzzled look on his face, walked up to the young man and took the letter that was intact and had not yet been opened.
Sealed on yellow-brown oily paper, there are few words.
Liujia, Qi.
Seeing the beautiful handwriting, the Qingyun County official standing in front of the two of them was already stunned.
Silent for a moment, Chen Liujia looked up at the car cornflower in the house, hoping to pour the tears that were about to gush into the back of his pupils, he was trying, not wanting the sadness to spread, but he couldn't suppress the impact of distress, the tears in his eyes were accumulating more and more, and they would burst out at any time.
Chen Liujia, who had been completely occupied by sadness, suddenly lowered his head, covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly, his trembling shoulders silently exuding his pain.
For a while, the young man in the gown was a little at a loss, he didn't expect that an unopened letter would have such a lethal effect on Chen Liujia, and besides, in addition to the letter, there was also a sentence that should be brought to the words.
The young man in the gown didn't dare to say that sentence now, for fear that Chen Liujia at this time would mess up his mind and look for a short time.
Fang Cheng, who didn't know how to deal with his children's affection, saw that Chen Liujia didn't come back to his senses for a long time, turned his head and looked at Fang Aotian eagerly, and motioned for him to help.
In this regard, Fang Aotian just shook his head lightly.
As a divine beast, he didn't have the slightest empathy for Chen Liujia's downfall in front of him, he didn't care about the warmth of human feelings, let alone the heat and coldness of this world, if he really wanted to say what he wanted, it was the young man in gown next to him.
Not counting before, at that time, Fang Aotian regarded the young Fang Cheng as the wronged boss at most, and followed him by his side, just to nourish himself with the help of Luan Feng's spirit, and after he signed the heaven and earth contract with Fang Cheng, Fang Aotian completely regarded this young man who had changed from sending fish to cultivating immortals as his own, although the honorific title of the little master did not scream a few times, but in his heart, he had already imagined Fang Cheng as his real body under the neck, a white crescent moon scale armor.
The dragon's scales are reversed, and if you touch it, you will die.
Fang Cheng turned his head, looked at Chen Liujia who was hiding his face and crying, thought for a long time, and said, "Uncle Chen, a manly man, bleeding and sweating without tears!"
As soon as he said it, Fang Cheng immediately regretted it, these words are not suitable for the current situation!
After listening to Fang Cheng's funny words, Fang Aotian couldn't help but laugh.
It's better not to say it.
The young man scratched his head and sighed secretly, his mind had been thinking about it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of anything else except for this sentence.
After a long time, Chen Liujia raised his head, his eyes glazed, and he looked at Fang Cheng, as if asking himself, "What is written in this letter?" ”
Fang Cheng shook his head and said, "I haven't opened this envelope, and I don't know what is written on this letter. ”
After thinking about it, the young man said again: "Since Uncle Chen wants to know what is written, open it." ”
Chen Liujia lowered his head, looked at the letter in his hand, and was silent.
As soon as his finger touched the opening of the envelope, Chen Liujia, who had always been calm and fearless, was pardoned.
Fang Aotian looked at the still man, smiled and shook his head, "You won't open it." ”
Chen Liujia, who lowered his head, only felt that his hands were as heavy as a thousand catties, and it was difficult to move a bit.
The county official man laughed miserably, this letter, he really didn't want to open it, he hadn't seen it for many years, and he didn't find anyone again, but it was a piece of paper in front of him, what was written on this letter, it was self-evident and conceivable.
Fang Aotian smiled and said empathetically: "Lord Chen should go back to the room and think carefully, carefully consider whether it is best to open this letter, I think that the content of this letter will definitely shock Lord Chen's heart." ”
Chen Liujia's face was pale, he didn't even have the strength to look at the two of them, he couldn't turn around, and staggered towards the gate of Qiulinjian.
Fang Cheng looked at Uncle Chen, who was about to leave, and wanted to stop out loud.
Fang Aotian stretched out another hand, grabbed the young man's shoulder, and shook his head, he didn't know what Xie Lu said to Fang Cheng, but this situation was not suitable for Fang Cheng to bring that.
If someone gives their heart to others, they can't take it back, and others fail to live up to it, which is a great abandonment for those who take out their hearts.
Maybe the girl in Chen Liujia's heart didn't do anything, or maybe she accidentally did something, more or less.
As an outsider, Fang Aotian couldn't bear this Lord Chen.
The young man who was stopped and couldn't open his mouth looked at the figure that had left the autumn forest stream and fell silent.
Fang Aotian let go of Fang Cheng's hand, and there were only two people left in the hanging corner tower.
Finally, the boy spoke, "Why don't you let me say it?"
Fang Aotian picked up the teapot made of jadeite smelting, and looked left and right, "For bitter lovers, it's just to increase sadness." ”
Fang Cheng sighed, sat down in front of the table bottle, looked at the man holding the teapot in front of him, and said slowly: "You say, this love and love, is it really so torturous?"
Fang Aotian smiled: "I remember, there is a saying that says this. ”
Fang Cheng said, "What words?"
Putting down the jade teapot in his hand, Fang Aotian glanced at Fang Cheng and said, "You little kid, what are you doing asking about these?"
Fang Cheng said disdainfully: "As far as you know, you are not a human being, what are you doing in hiding." ”
Fang Aotian raised his head, looked at the sunset twilight outside the door, and sighed: "Let me ask the world, what is love?"
————
Back in the room, Chen Liujia quietly looked at the letters on the table, indifferent.
Obviously, the result is in front of him, but he doesn't want to know.
I still remember that I was an ordinary county officer, patrolling the streets in Qingyun County at night, and found that there was a girl on the street who fainted on the side of the road.
In this Qingyun County, I don't know how many people will starve to death in a day, if they really want to be treated one by one, how can he cure them.
Chen Liujia still remembers the doctor's words.
"Where in the world can there be so many good deeds to do. ”
For this reason, Chen Liujia, who has never bullied people, used his official uniform to pressure the doctor of the hospital for the first time.
The doctor who was forced to pinch his nose, stood up after careful diagnosis, and couldn't wait to curse Chen Liujia.
Do you say that a hungry and dizzy person who asks for food can be sent to the pharmacy?
At that time, after Chen Liujia, who was aware of the hindsight, knew the real reason why the girl fainted on the ground, he was a little embarrassed, picked up the woman who was still unconscious, thanked her, and hurriedly went out.
Chen Liujia carried the girl who was still fainting on her back and came to her home in Qingyun County for the first time.
Putting the woman behind her on the bed, Chen Liujia opened the cabinet and found some cooking cakes, picked up the girl, and fed her with the water. After waiting for a while, he was still awake, and Chen Liujia, who was still on an errand at the time, simply locked the door of the house and left the girl alone in the house.
At that time, Chen Liujia would never have thought that this lock was more than just a wooden door.
Early the next morning, Chen Liujia returned to the house as usual, opened the door, and saw a nervous girl with a panicked face in the corner of the bed.
As soon as she approached the bed, the girl was like a frightened deer, her eyes were bent, and she was about to crash against the wall.
Chen Liujia, who was ignorant at the time, was taken aback by such a strong move by the woman, and immediately retreated to the door.
"Don't do anything stupid!" Chen Liujia tried his best to dissuade him, if the woman in front of him died in his own home, he would not be able to clear this charge in his life.
When the woman saw Chen Liujia retreat to the door, her expression eased slightly, but her two dusty hands were still pressed against the wall, ready to force each other to death at any time.
"I carried you back yesterday when I saw you faint from hunger, and you didn't wake up after I fed you. I still have things to do, I have no choice but to lock you in the house" Chen Liujia is like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, telling the ins and outs of yesterday, for fear that in the next second, this girl can't think of it, blood is splashed all over the wall, then he really has to reason with God.
Hearing what had happened, the girl's face gradually relaxed, and the hand pressing on the wall slowly put down.
The girl seemed to think of some sad past, and sat on the corner of the bed to cover her face with her torn cuffs to prevent Chen Liujia from seeing it. Soon, the girl couldn't restrain her weak body, and trembled.
In the panicked room, there was an instant cry. The scene changed so quickly that Chen Liujia was speechless.
Chen Liujia, who had never comforted anyone, simply stood in front of the door and quietly listened to the woman crying alone.
After a while, the girl stopped whimpering, rubbed her soaked eyes against her cuffs, raised her forehead blankly, and the woman looked at Chen Liujia at the door.
"Why do you want to save me," the girl murmured, sobbing a little as she spoke.
Chen Liujia burst out, "I can't watch you die!"
The woman said, "We don't know each other, what are you doing to save me?" ”
Chen Liujia sighed, walked into the room and sat on the bench, looking at the woman on the bed with some melancholy.
It's wrong to save people...
The woman was frightened by Chen Liujia's movements, and hurriedly shrank back, putting one hand on the wall.
"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you" Chen Liujia was worried and continued to look at the girl.
This should be sent to the government as soon as possible, and it is not appropriate to stay for a second longer.
The girl noticed Chen Liujia's gaze and immediately covered it with her clothes to prevent her from seeing her face clearly.
Chen Liujia couldn't help but be happy when she saw the girl's move.
"Your face is dark and gray, and it's the same with or without it. ”
When the girl heard this, she reached out and touched her face, and a layer of dust stuck to her hands.
"Say!"
She thought it was the young man in front of her who was teasing her, and his figure was already close to the wall.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room was tense.
"My mother said that all evil should be done, but all good should be pursued, and I could not watch a person die in front of me. Who made me a kind person haha. Chen Liujia smiled and eased the atmosphere.
"That's all?" the girl disagreed, she must have another plan.
"Otherwise, coveting beauty?" said Chen Liujia, taking a closer look at the girl on the bed.
The girl's nerves tensed instantly.
"You can pull it, the black light is blind and your face is so thick with a layer of dust, the devil knows what you look like. Chen Liujia pursed his lips, the second half of this sentence should not be said.
The girl who heard these words gasped slightly, and her face was a little moved, and even the arm that was placed on the wall fell on the bed.
"What's your name?"
Chen Liujia thought about asking where he came from, and he would send it to the government in a while, and the matter would be over.
"Are you going to send me away?" the girl let her guard down, revealing her face.
Looking at the hazy girl on the bed, Chen Liujia laughed a little, which woman do you say would dress herself like this, flee or hide from debts.
"Hurry up!" The girl glared at Chen Liujia, but her heart was a little empty.
"That's for sure, you don't know where you came from, I can't leave you here with me, besides, I only have a bed here" Chen Liujia said what he thought in his heart.
was originally a solemn girl in bed, but when she heard this result, she suddenly became depressed.
"Can you not go to the police?" the girl said with a request.
"Girl, why is that?"
Chen Liujia touched his head, and then added: "The official can help you find your family!"
The woman looked in a trance, looking down at the tattered clothes on her body, nestled in the corner of the bed, like a piece of paper, a gust of wind could blow her away.
"My family, all of them died in the early years of the escape," the girl began.
"Later, I was accepted as a stele girl by a portal. I thought I could spend the rest of my days in peace, but the head of the house just coveted my beauty, and I couldn't resist it, so I secretly ran out by myself. ”
"Run, run, I ran to this Qingyun County. Then, I passed out due to exhaustion. ”
"And on... I met you," the girl finished speaking, and raised her head to look at Chen Liujia who was sitting on the bench.
"That..."Chen Liujia hesitated a little after listening.
"As long as you don't send it to the official!, you can do anything!" the girl made a quick decision.
Chen Liujia sighed, he really stayed at home, and the bed was not enough to sleep!
"What's your last name?" Chen Liujia repeated the question that the girl didn't answer just now.
"Do you still want to send the official..."The girl sitting on the bed looked confused and collapsed.
"My surname is Xie, my name is Lu," the girl said her name.
"That's it, Xie Lu..."Chen Liujia thought for a moment.
"I'll help you find a job in Qingyun County, and you don't have to go back to that portal's house. ”
When Xie Lu heard this, his expression was shocked, his gray face showed joy, and he hurriedly nodded in response.
"Alas, send the Buddha to the west, I'm a rotten good person..."Chen Liujia couldn't help but smile bitterly, he had just come to Qingyun County, and he was not familiar with the place.
"Eh, what's your name?" Xie Lu asked with a slightly better mood and took the initiative to ask.
"Me, Chen Liujia. ”
Chen Liujia, who looked like a teenager, grinned toothily, with a pair of big eyes under the thick dandruff hair, and black eyes, dripping and turning like abacus beads.
At that time, Chen Liujia, who had just arrived in Qingyun County, met Xie Lu, who also came to Qingyun County for the first time.
Ten years.
Xie Lu became more and more beautiful, and she was no longer the gray-faced girl she used to be.
The boy also became a young man, from the former street patrol county officer to the Qingyun county official.
People in Qingyun County believe that this Xie Lu and Chen Liujia knew each other in Qingyun County, and now they have their own success.
It's almost the last love.
......
After pondering until late at night, Chen Liujia finally came back to his senses.
Finding a pot of wine and sitting in front of the window, Chen Liujia, who has become a county official, opened the mud seal of the wine jar and poured wine into himself for the first time.
The liquor burned his throat, and Chen Liujia choked and almost fell off the window.
Slowly, the wine rose to his cheeks, and with the last trace of sobriety, Chen Liujia opened the envelope that Xie Lu gave him.
After only a few glances, Chen Liujia completely fell off the window and fell asleep drunk.
The letter took advantage of the cool night breeze and floated beside the man.
On the letter, write three lines.
Far away.
to sparse.
To the strange road.
