XXXVIII. Heart-to-heart talks
Wu Xiao walked out of Qiongyu Pavilion in despair, walking on the street by himself, without noticing that Ya Zhi was beside him, he was leaning on the pillar of the house and had been waiting for Wu Xiao for a while.
The sky is already dark blue, the streets are brightly lit, and the night markets in the bustling streets are gradually opening up. And this didn't care in Wu Xiao's eyes, his heart was like a mess, and he walked around the street without knowing his purpose. He seemed to have forgotten where he was, and he had forgotten about going to the Zhongwang Mansion with Yazhi.
Ya Zhi saw that Wu Xiao's face was solemn, and his eyes were blank, as if he was even more sad than he knew the cause of his mother's death before, and he was puzzled. Only then did Nangong Yulu use the qin to appease Wu Xiao, during the period of time he went to the hospital, he didn't know what happened to Wu Xiao. Yazhi didn't understand why, but no matter what she said, it didn't help. The words pale at this moment. Yazhi wanted me Wu Xiao to be quiet alone, but he just silently followed behind Wu Xiao.
Wu Xiao didn't walk fast, and Yazhi kept a distance of five steps from him. Wu Xiao walked and walked, suddenly remembered something, looked around and hurriedly turned around, and then Yazhi's figure came into his eyes, and Wu Xiao stopped. Ya Zhi saw Wu Xiao stop, and he also stopped. The two looked at each other on a lean.
Wu Xiao saw that he had been behind him, and suddenly felt guilty, and he turned his head away from looking at Yazhi. But then the next second there was a trace of warmth in his heart, he had nothing left, only the young man in front of him was still there. This young man is gentle and elegant, Wu Xiao suddenly understood why Leng An fell in love with this kind of person. His emotions could no longer be controlled, and he turned back to look at Yazhi, tears welling up in his eyes.
Seeing this, Yazhi stepped forward, raised his hand and put it on Wu Xiao's shoulder and said to him, "Are you hungry?" Wu Xiao didn't say a word and followed Yazhi.
As soon as he walked into the restaurant, a warm smell of wine came to his face, Yazhi shook his hand and chose a corner location on the top of the building. Although it is an inconspicuous location in the restaurant, not only is it undisturbed, but you can also have a bird's-eye view of the street, including the Qiongyu Pavilion in the distance. Yazhi ordered wine and some snacks for him, but ordered two vegetarian dishes and a pot of tea for himself. After a while, the guy was delivered.
Wu Xiao saw a table of good dishes, and he didn't have much appetite in his heart, but his body was hungry, and he hadn't eaten for a day.
Yazhi poured a glass of wine for him, but he brought the tea himself. Yazhi saw that he didn't move his chopsticks, so he said: "I haven't drunk or eaten meat since I was a child, and if you don't eat this table of good dishes, it will be wasted." After speaking, he took a sip of tea leisurely.
Wu Xiao slowly picked up the chopsticks and took a bite casually. This bite of food made Wu Xiao, who was already hungry and had no feelings, suddenly have an appetite. Then he took a few more bites. When Ya Zhi saw that he was willing to eat, she brought the food to him.
Wu Xiao took it and devoured it, and the bowl was empty after a while. Wu Xiao raised his eyes to look at Yazhi, he was holding chopsticks in his hand, gently picked up a piece of green vegetables and put it in the bowl, stirred a ball of rice balls and sent it to his mouth. His slow and methodical appearance made Wu Xiao's face red. Yazhi eats so elegantly, compared to the way he grilled the rice just now, Wu Xiao felt that he was rude.
Ya Zhi noticed Wu Xiao's eyes and said softly, "What's the matter? If it's not enough, just ask someone to add some." ”
Wu Xiao hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'm enough." He looked at the glass of wine: "You...... Don't ask me, you should notice something strange about me. ”
Yazhi listened to his words, did not reply to him in a hurry, and ate by herself.
"It was when you left Qiongyu Pavilion that something happened. Wu Xiao picked up the wine and drank it all.
Yazhi finished her meal and put her chopsticks on the bowl. Wu Xiao saw that his bowl was clean and there was not a grain of rice. Yazhi saw that Wu Xiao's cup was empty, and poured him a second cup.
"I'm curious, but I'll wait until you're willing to tell me. Yazhi finished and looked at him.
"I, Leng An and Qian Qian have been playmates together since childhood, Qian Qian, you may have seen her, she is also a geisha of Qiongyu Pavilion, she is good at singing and dancing, knows instrumental music, and has a large number of performances in Qiongyu Pavilion. Wu Xiao's mood calmed down and told his story.
"Leng An is someone you know, she doesn't have a father, only a mother. Her mother's name is Leng Cui, that is, Cui Niang, the owner of Qiongyu Pavilion. She was originally like sisters with Qianqian, and she had nothing to say. This relationship lasted for a long time, but one person broke it. He is a musician in Qiongyu Pavilion, he was born to Han people and Da Shi, has no surname, and his single name is called Cang. ”
Yazhi listened quietly, that Qianqian girl, she had met once, but she poisoned Yazhi when she met. The person who came was really unkind, Ya Zhi had some questions, but he didn't interrupt Wu Xiao.
"We all call him Brother Cang, and he is younger than my mother. He taught me martial arts, taught me the art of disguise, and taught me how to survive in the 'dangerous' place of Qiongyu Pavilion, which is also very good for Leng An and Qianqian. He was like a brother to me and a father to me. But a few years ago, he was gone. Wu Xiao said this, and suddenly stopped.
"Gone?" Yazhi answered.
"Yes, he died. Wu Xiao just took a sip of wine: "Because I offended Wen Shiyuan." ”
Yazhi suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, these people were all related to Wen Shiyuan.
"He was severely injured by Wen Shiyuan's men, and he died after a few days, and when I found him wounded, he was powerless to recover. Leng An, who has always liked Brother Cang, blamed me for his death, I couldn't argue, she didn't listen to me at all, and they broke up completely in exchange for Qian Qianqian's help to speak to me. Wu Xiao held the cup tightly: "It's my turn today, and the relationship between the three of us will never return to the original." ”
"I see, I see. Yazhi's words were relaxed, but Wu Xiao's heart tightened.
"I ......" Wu Xiao didn't know what to say, so he said "I understand" to understand something.
Yazhi seemed to see his thoughts, and said, "You just quarreled with Miss Leng." Actually......"
"I gave up..."Wu Xiao said, "Since you understand, I won't go into details." It's not clear what is right or wrong. ”
"Did you give up?" Yazhi asked him curiously, "It can't just be a momentary speech, right?"
Wu Xiao didn't answer him directly, but said another thing: "There is another thing I want to ask you, if something happens to me." The girl in the black veil on Wen Shiyuan's side, please protect her. ”
Yazhi picked up the cold tea and smiled: "It seems that you haven't given up yet." ”
"You already know who that girl is?" Wu Xiao was a little surprised.
"I'm not blind, her peach blossom eyes look similar, I wasn't sure at first, but I heard you say that, and now I can be sure. Yazhi laughed: "Quarrels can't be avoided, and they will be reconciled when the matter is over." ”
"She doesn't have any place in her heart, and that's the last thing I can do. Wu Xiao said firmly: "I want to live happily." ”
Yazhi thought about something in her heart, and after taking a sip of tea, she said: "There are eight hardships in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, and I can't ask for it. Although these are painful, you have to know that when you are in the most pain, there are people by your side, and you will not fall into loneliness, and that is a happy thing. After that, he stood up, looked at the bustling streets of Kaifeng City, and said, "Now you feel a little better?"
Wu Xiao felt warm in his heart, he knew that he was not alone, and this was good.
