Duchuan is close to Lingyan Mountain, known as "the first town in Wuzhong", Wei Qing will go to Duchuan for a few days when he has nothing to do, drink tea, look at the water, listen to music, and pass the time, hiding from his mother Mrs. Luohua.
One day, Wei Qingxiao sat in the teahouse by the window and tasted tea, and saw a small boat full of plum blossoms on the river below, so he directly threw a piece of broken silver on the boatman's head and let the boatman dock.
When he went down, he saw a girl in a big red skirt jumping into the boatman's boat, and looked at the plum blossoms in the boat with great curiosity, and after looking at it for a while, he seemed to think that the flowers were very beautiful, so he took out a piece of gold and threw it to the boatman, intending to buy the boat's full of plum blossoms.
The boatman was an honest man, and he pointed to Wei Qing, who was hurrying to this side, and smiled, "Girl, this flower is what the son of Fang just now wants to buy, why don't you wait for the son to pick and choose." ”
The girl raised her head, looked at Wei Qing, who flew directly from the shore with a fan and jumped to her side, smiled, looked dissatisfied, raised her eyebrows and said: "I don't care, I want to buy the flowers here, it's a big deal, I'll give double the money." ”
Wei Qing smiled at a few lonely red plum blossoms in the corner of the boat, and said softly: "Girl, I can buy this boat full of flowers and give it to you, I only need those red ones." ”
The woman looked at the red plums, bent down directly and took the plum blossoms in her hand and looked at them for a long time, before she looked up at Wei Qing playfully and smiled: "You want these branches?"
Wei Qing stared at the red plums with a smile, looked up at the woman seriously, and nodded.
As a result, the woman directly carried a few plum blossoms behind her back, and said unceremoniously: "Unfortunately, I also want these red plum blossoms." ”
"You ······" Wei Qing smiled and frowned, and was about to reason with him, but he thought that the other party was still a little girl, and it was not worth being angry with him, so he turned around and planned to leave.
"Alas, don't go, you see, there are still yellow plums here, why don't you ask for those. Seeing Wei Qingxiao turn around and leave, the woman hurriedly stretched out her arms to stop in front of Wei Qingxiao, blinked and pointed to the yellow flowers on the side.
Wei Qing glanced at the flower with a smile, and said disdainfully: "The yellow one is the plum and not the plum, I think it happened to be in full bloom when I was late." You fought with me, I thought you loved Mei deeply, but I didn't expect to be unable to distinguish between Mei and Lamei. ”
When the boatman heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "Childe is right, this yellow one is the plum, I have a few plum trees at home, and they bloomed later than usual, but when the plums bloomed, there were still so many branches." ”
When the woman heard this, she frowned, looked at Wei Qing and smiled angrily, as if she felt embarrassed by what he had just said, so she smiled at Wei Qing and shouted: "What Lamei and Mei, it's almost done, what are you doing so much." ”
The woman was seventeen or eighteen years old, richly dressed, probably spoiled, and had some childish temperament. She put the few red plum blossoms in front of Wei Qingxiao and shook them, and laughed angrily: "It's not just a few plum blossoms, I won't give it to you if I lose it." ”
With that, she threw the flowers in her hand directly, and a few bright red plum blossoms were thrown to the middle of the river, floating on the water, and a few plum petals were thrown directly from the flower branches, scattered on the sparkling river surface dots by stars.
"Hey, you're ······"
She looked up at Wei Qing mockingly, raising her eyebrows as if provocative, but before she could react, she saw a red figure fall straight from the boat into the water like an arc, and then she heard a "plop" sound, and a large splash appeared on the water.
She looked at Wei Qing who was floating on the water and was swimming towards those plum blossoms, opened her mouth wide, and shook her head after a long time, looking at Wei Qing as if she was looking at a fool: "Crazy, crazy." ”
It is the season at the turn of winter and spring, the temperature is still very low, and the cotton clothes on people's bodies have not been changed, and some even hold small carbon stoves to keep warm. The water in this river was even more cold and biting, and Wei Qingxiao jumped down without blinking, as if he couldn't feel the biting cold.
She hurriedly looked at the stunned boatman on the side, and quickly reminded, "Uncle, pull him up quickly." ”
The boatman was reminded by her like this, came back to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out the thin bamboo pole on the boat and stretched out towards Wei Qingxiao, but Wei Qingxiao, who was soaked in the water, did not appreciate it, but lifted the plum blossoms slightly out of the water with one hand, and swam straight to the shore with all his might, without giving a look to the woman who was surprised on the boat.
Seeing this, the woman also jumped back to the shore directly, looked at Wei Qing, who had just swam ashore from the water, and was wet, smiled, couldn't help but raise her finger and point to his nose, and then pointed to the red plum blossom in his hand that was stained with water, and said with wide eyes: "Is there something wrong with you, on such a cold day, just a few plum blossoms?"
After that, the woman took off the cloak on her body and planned to put it on Wei Qingxiao's body, but Wei Qingxiao separated her with her hand with a cold face, as if she didn't want to have more contact with her, so she just carefully put the plum blossom in her hand on the wooden railing on the side, and bent down to wring the water from her robe.
The woman frowned and was very dissatisfied when she saw that her kindness was ignored by Wei Qingxiao, but she still forced the cloak on Wei Qingxiao's body, and saw Wei Qingxiao raising her head slightly and looking at her coldly, she pouted and said: "It's such a cold day, your body is soaked, no matter how you twist it, it's useless, and you will catch a cold when you are blown by the wind." I don't want anything to happen to anyone else because of me. ”
She pointed to the plum blossoms again and said, "Take those plum blossoms if you want, I won't fight with you." ”
Seeing that Wei Qingxiao was still wringing the water on his robe without saying a word, he only glanced up at her and lowered his eyes again, the woman felt that the man in front of her was too narrow-minded, and she gave in like this, and gave him her own cloak, he was still so unappreciative, and was about to open his mouth to laugh with Wei Qing again, but he heard someone calling him not far away.
"Linlang. ”
Hearing this, she hurriedly turned around, and saw her uncle Zhao Zongchu coming to him with a few people, she first slapped her forehead, and immediately put on a soft smile to greet her.
"Uncle, I'm here. ”
But she never noticed that after hearing Zhao Zongchu call her, Wei Qing raised her head to look at her with a smile, and a look of confusion or joy or surprise appeared in her eyes, and even the hand holding the corner of her clothes froze in place.
When Linlang turned to look at Wei Qing and smiled again, he found that Fang Cai was still facing him coldly, and Wei Qingxiao, who didn't even bother to give him a look, had a strange expression on his face at this time, looking at himself with deep and happy eyes, as if he was looking at an old friend who hadn't been seen for a long time.
This is how the story began, the fate of the two people was intertwined with a few red plums, and in the next month, Wei Qingxiao and Linlang spent the most important and happiest time in their lives in Duchuan.
However, the good times didn't last long, a month later, Linlang and her uncle Zhao Zongchu left Duchuan because of some urgent matters, and the two people who had just met and just had feelings for each other ran towards each other's life tracks, and they staggered.
Until a few days ago, Wei Qing went to the city to hang out when he was smiling and hiding from the night brocade clothes, and he saw Zhao Qianyu, who has now become Mrs. Wang Xu, and it was then that he knew that the Linlang he met back then was the current princess of Shu.
Ye Jinyi counted the days and found that when Linlang left Wei Qingxiao, it was the time when the former emperor Zhao Shu died, so it was impossible for Zhao Qianyu, who was a daughter and a princess, not to return to Beijing. Since then, Wei Qingxiao has become farther and farther away from Zhao Qianyu, because two years after that, the current emperor Zhao Xuan gave marriage and married Zhao Qianyu to Wang Xu.
He raised his eyes and looked at Wei Qingxiao opposite, and found that Wei Qingxiao, who had been muttering to himself, had been buried in his arm for some time, and he didn't know if it was because he was too uncomfortable drinking, and his mouth kept humming in pain.
Ye Jinyi sighed helplessly, put down the wine jug in his hand, stood up and put Wei Qingxiao's arm on his shoulder, holding Wei Qingxiao's waist and planning to send him back to the room, but when Wei Qingxiao was just lifted up, he was stunned to see the filaments swimming around his neck and his face pale from pain.
"People who are hurt like to drink, but drinking only makes people hurt more. He looked at Wei Qing quietly and smiled, and said this sentence faintly, with an incomprehensible light flashing in his eyes.
After that, Ye Jinyi supported the swaying Wei Qing and smiled, and walked to the room with a calm face. It wasn't until he put Wei Qingxiao on the bed, took off his boots, and covered the brocade quilt that he sat next to Wei Qingxiao and looked at his pale face for a long time before he got up and planned to leave.
"Linlang······ Hmm"
But when he raised his foot and just took a step, Wei Qingxiao, who was lying on the bed in a daze, suddenly grabbed his sleeve and called out a name, he frowned and was about to pull the sleeve out of Wei Qingxiao's hand, but Wei Qingxiao suddenly frowned, and seemed to curl up in extreme pain, trembling incessantly, but his hand was still tightly pulling the sleeve of the night brocade and did not let go.
Ye Jinyi knew that the aphrodisiac Gu was so powerful, and the more emotional it was, the more painful it would be for the person in the Gu.
He suddenly remembered a Zen saying: Life in the world, such as being in a thorny forest, if the heart does not move, people will not move, and if they do not move, they will not hurt; if the heart moves, people will move in vain, and they will hurt their bodies and bones, so they will experience all kinds of pain in the world.
Now Wei Qing is smiling like this, isn't it exactly in response to this sentence, most of the many pains in the world are painful in the heart, and the hurt is also in the heart, how scarred he is, and how deep his feelings are, only he knows. Now, Wei Qingxiao smiled at every pain in his heart on his flesh and skin, and his heart was emotional, and emotion brought him scars all over his body.
If the heart does not move, it does not hurt.
Ye Jinyi suddenly understood why Wei Qingxiao didn't stop Zhao Qianyu back then, and now why Zhao Qianyu didn't come forward to recognize him when he saw him from afar, because he had already lost the freedom to love someone.
And the confinement that restricts his freedom is the aphrodisiac poison on him.
He didn't try to pull his sleeve out of Wei Qingxiao's hand again, just quietly looked at Wei Qingxiao, whose eyes were closed, and smiled for a long time before he suddenly spoke: "I shouldn't have been emotionally attached to anyone anymore, but I couldn't help but get close to someone." And you should be with the person you love, but you don't have the freedom to love someone alone. ”
He raised his other hand to cover Wei Qingxiao's forehead, Wei Qingxiao's forehead was hot, and in stark contrast, Ye Jinyi's fingers were cold, but it was precisely because of this cold touch that Wei Qingxiao's brows loosened slightly.
"If you can. He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes swept over his eyelids, casting a shadow that made his eyes even more mysterious, and he said a little confused, "If I could, I would be willing to bear all this for you." ”
Because, this is what he owes Wei Qing to smile at night.
All the hatred back then should have been borne by Ye Jinyi alone, but Wei Qingxiao endured the pain he shouldn't have for ten years because of Zhao Li's obsession, what a sad and sad decade it should be.
He wanted to help Wei Qing laugh at the aphrodisiac Gu that had been pestering him for ten years, which he had planned before, but it was even more urgent at this time.
When the Gu poison is eliminated, Wei Qingxiao wants to snatch Zhao Qianyu from Wang Xu's hands and fly away, or let go of the past three years ago to start his new life, that is Wei Qingxiao's choice. And whether he wants to help Wei Qingxiao or stand on Wang Xu's side and go against Wei Qingxiao is his own business.
When Wei Qingxiao's thoughts slowly receded, the red filaments on his body slowly disappeared.
Ye Jinyi saw that Wei Qingxiao's face recovered a little, and then he slowly pulled his sleeve out of Wei Qingxiao's hand, and slowly turned around to leave, but saw Ji Ling standing at the door with a sword in his hand and looking at him, the expression on his face was very strange.
It seems that Ji Ling has been standing there for a long time, Xu is Fang is sinking in his thoughts, and Ye Jinyi did not find the existence of Ji Ling.
After a long time, Ji Ling set his eyes on Wei Qingxiao and hesitated: "He was given an aphrodisiac Gu?"
"Yes. ”
