Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Uninvited Guest
After dinner, Meng Yan had already asked the slave to clean up a guest room and let Sima Chun rest. She and Murong Xue spoke speculatively and were very harmonious, so she asked her to live with her. Murong Xue was disrespectful, but she had some things to say to Sima Chun, so she hesitated. Sima Chun knew that she was not a person who twisted, and thought that there must be a reason, so he gave her a look and said with a smile: "In the past few months, it is difficult to have the opportunity to sit down and have a few glasses, and it happens that Zhou Yi is also here today, I only heard Yuan Fu say that you have an amazing amount of alcohol, but I haven't really understood it." He nodded slightly, turned around and said to Murong Xue and the others, "Your whispers, we won't get along." ”
Murong Xue couldn't guess his thoughts, and was about to speak, only to see Sima Chun get up and thank Meng Yan: "Come from afar, thank you girl for your hospitality, bother!" As she spoke, she looked at her with the corner of her eye, signaling that she knew what she wanted, so that she didn't have to worry about it.
Meng Yan nodded in return, smiling and asking the slave to fetch the best aged wine for the two of them.
Zhou Yi replied with a smile: "No need, my brother is not an outsider, the drinks are free, we will take them ourselves!"
As he spoke, he looked preoccupied, turned around and walked out.
Sima Chun looked wrong, and since he came to the door as a guest, how could he thin the face of the host? Therefore, he pressed Zhou Yi's arm, squeezed his eyes at him and smiled: "I am a person who loves wine, thanks to the girl's love, and I treat each other with good wine, but you and I are disrespectful, or bother the girl to go!"
Hearing what he said, Zhou Yi's originally contradictory heart suddenly became clear. Although he is a person who has insight into the overall situation, it is sometimes difficult to control his emotions in these small things with clear grievances. However, Sima Chun broke the siege in time, making him soberly realize that before the truth is ascertained, all unwarranted suspicions will lead to the gradual alienation of his loved ones. So he sighed in a low voice, turned back to Mengyan and nodded slightly, but did not speak.
Mengyan is also sensitive, of course she understood what Zhou Yi meant, and when he hesitated, she was also scared, and she didn't know where she provoked him.
But he didn't hide his mouth, and he didn't see the mental game on the surface, so he said casually, "It's still Brother Sima who listens to what he says, you, you can only keep your face tight, as if someone owes you money, inexplicable!"
A wave of anger immediately surged up in Mengyan's heart, and he shouted at the slave, "Shut up!"
The slave was startled, looked back at Meng Yan's red face, panicked, and burst into tears, "I'm sorry sister, I'll go...... I'm going to fetch wine for the sons......"
In this way, everyone was very embarrassed, Sima Chunchong Murong Xue made a look, the two didn't talk much, and went out, leaving only Zhou Yi and Mengyan. Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, although the knot in his heart was difficult to let go, but Mengyan was innocent after all. He arched his hand, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low tone: "If I hadn't ventured into your life, you and the slave would have been carefree...... It's me who is wrong, you, don't take it to heart!"
Meng Yan lowered his head, tears dripped down his curved eyelashes, and said in an aggrieved voice, "Zhou Yi, I don't dare to keep you anymore, you can leave at any time, as if you have never been here!"
Zhou Yi's heart was sour, and he frowned and said, "Mengyan!" He paused, and said quietly, "Today, my brother told me some family matters, which only added a little trouble, so I was left without a master! For you, Zhaonu is a loyal and good sister, and you don't have to blame her! Speaking of which, these are all my faults." ”
"It's okay, since you have something, I'll arrange to summon slaves to send you down the mountain tomorrow!"
"But ......"
"It's late at night, you go first, don't let Sima Gongzi wait too long. ”
Zhou Yi lowered his head and looked at her tear-stained face, and was silent for a while, Fang said: "My life experience is destined for me to travel all over the world, but before I leave, I must heal your legs and feet!"
With that, he took a few steps back, bowed, and slowly went out. As soon as he went out, Meng Yan turned his head, looked at the figure in the distance at the door, and couldn't help crying!
==***==
Murong Xue followed Sima Chun out and stopped not going far, there was a sentence in her heart, she really didn't vomit or be unhappy. But after this trouble, when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know whether to say it or not.
"You're talking about slaves. ”
Murong Xue was taken aback, nodded and said, "Well, I mentioned it to you when I was in the capital that day, call slaves...... It's the woman I saved with my sister Yu Xi. ”
"Then what are you hesitating about?" Sima Chun put his hands on her shoulders and asked with a smile, "Are you afraid that saying this matter will make Zhou Yi think more, right?"
"Well, I don't want Mengyan's kindness to be secretly suspicious of us!" Murong Xue let out a long sigh, thinking of Yu Xi, she couldn't bear a burst of compassion in her heart, such a woman who values love and righteousness has to suffer such a grievance of being disliked and calculated, it is really fate! So Youyou said: "Brother Chun, who do you think Gongzi Zhou is more compatible with?"
Sima Chun didn't expect her to ask like this, and she couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, "Then what do you say?"
"This sister Mengyan is gentle and perceptive, while Zhou Gongzi is uninhibited by nature and quite heroic, according to this view, they are indeed a perfect match. As he spoke, he rolled his eyes, frowned and shook his head, and denied his speculation, "Although Sister Yu Xi is strong in life, sometimes she is indeed bold and sophisticated, and she is born with a style of walking the rivers and lakes, and she looks incompatible with Zhou Gongzi, but I always feel that they will get along with each other in a delicate relationship, and even in the end, the four seas will be their home, and they will live and fly together, I don't know!"
"That's weird," Sima Chun laughed, "Why do you think so?"
Murong Xue pursed her lips and said very seriously: "I feel it, I can't tell why, I always feel that things in this world are often like this, the more sure you seem, the more it will be a dream in the end, but those two people who are beaten everywhere can't be separated! On the surface, Zhou Gongzi has a heroic body, but he has a compassionate heart, and Sister Yu is naturally beautiful, and she is born with an indescribable sense of loneliness...... It's fate. ”
Listening to her eloquently, Sima Chun closed her eyes slightly, as if she could feel the sigh for the many things and the helplessness of her life in her words.
"I don't think so. Zhou Yi is idealistic, although Wu Xin has the grace of regeneration for him, but the ending is just as embarrassing. The girl Yun in childhood, Yu Xi later, and the current dream words, in my opinion, are all illusions in the eyes of you and me. The reason why he is like this is that he has someone else in his heart. Otherwise, according to his kind of ease, he will never hide his admiration for the woman he likes. ”
Murong Xue glanced at him and snorted, "It seems that you are his own, what he thinks, how do you know!"
As he was talking, he saw a figure walking by in the corridor, wiping tears from his eyes all the way, and holding a jar of wine, which was clearly a slave. They watched her silently until she entered a side room, and then came out alone, hiding her face and weeping, and walked away.
The two looked extremely distressed, and looked at each other silently for a long time, "Are we wrong to blame her? Or is she just having a grudge against Yu Xi?"
"But that day, I obviously heard her say that she wanted to harm Yu Xi, and she was in the love of the old master...... Think about it, who else could her master be?"
Sima Chun was puzzled, "Let her go, we have some precautions, it's always good." Tonight I want to explore the secrets of this courtyard with Zhou Yi, you go and persuade Mengyan, after all, she is enthusiastic, but we are not honest with each other!"
Murong Xue nodded and went straight to Mengyan's boudoir.
==***==
After late at night, Zhou Yi and Sima Chun quietly went out, and saw the lights in Mengyan's room flickering, and the silhouettes of her and Murong Xue were obviously visible on the blurred window paper. The side room next to it is dimly lit and silent. Zhou Yi stood outside the window for a long time, sighed, and went to the backyard with Sima Chun.
On the way, Zhou Yi told Sima Chun about the "Dream Words" recorded by Mengyan, and Sima Chun was terrified, "Can you believe this?"
Zhou Yi looked distressed, and thought deeply with his hands behind his back, "I won't tell you, I don't want to believe it, after all, the friendship between Master Tai and Yu Guangling is not something you and I can understand." Besides......" When the words came to his lips, he was suddenly stunned, swallowed it vigorously, and lamented: "It's all old things, if you believe it, you don't believe it, and if you don't believe it, it's not good to take it too seriously!"
Sima Chun raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can have this kind of mind, and it is not in vain that the girl will chase you!"
"What?" Zhou Yi was immediately stunned when he heard this, full of surprise and surprise, but there was some depression between his eyebrows, "What do you mean, brother? When did she come?"
"She sent Murong Xue to Kanto to find me, and after learning that you went to the capital, she made a detour from Shanhaiguan to the southwest, and traveled thousands of miles to the capital, she wasn't looking for you, who else could she find?"
Zhou Yi let out an 'oh', pretending to be indifferent, and said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, if she thinks of anything, the emperor can't stop her, why is she coming to me!" He was in a low mood and said silently: "In this life, she will never come forward to see each other again." ”
Before they knew it, the two of them had arrived at a large hall. Standing on the top of the cliff, there is only one road in and out, majestic and solemn, and it looks very imperial!
Before coming, Zhou Yi had already prepared the flint, which was just right to use at this time. The two lit two torches, and when they went to the door of the temple, they saw that the door of the temple was not locked, and there were lanterns hanging on the lintel.
The two pushed the door in, and the fruit offerings that were just placed in the main hall were all available, so it can be concluded that there were people here for a long time to worship. On the top of the main hall, a stone statue is enshrined, the tiger eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the arms are like hanging beams, the majesty of its demeanor, the gods of the nine heavens. There is an altar in front of the stone statue, and a spiritual seat is enshrined on the platform, and it is written: The spiritual seat of the hermit who lives in the immortals! There are three stone statues kneeling in front of the altar, and if you look closely, they are two men and one woman, full of repentance!
Sima Chun read it silently, his heart was full of doubts, and he asked Zhou Yi: "You are from the Central Plains, have you ever heard of this immortal hermit?"
Zhou Yi stared at the three stone statues, his brows furrowed, "The Juxian hermit is Tu Jian, the ancestor of the original Wuxiang Mountain. ”
"He's Tu Jian!" Sima Chun cried out in surprise.
Zhou Yi didn't seem to hear him calling for life, but looked at the three kneeling stone statues with great devotion. Sima Chun knelt on the futon, kowtowed three times to the stone statue of Tu Jian, and talked about his admiration for this national hero and even the supreme of the rivers and lakes.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi shouted, "Brother, come here!"
"What's wrong!"
Sima Chun walked to the stone statue and followed Zhou Yi's gesture to look over, only to see Zhou Yi bring the torch close to the third stone statue, and the face of the stone statue suddenly jumped in front of him. The stone statue is a woman, with a sad face, and the appearance of Mengyan is the same person.
"This, how can this be ......" Sima Chun was so surprised that he couldn't speak. Zhou Yi stroked the eyebrows of the stone statue with his hand, and secretly marveled in his heart.
"It's not a dream!"
"Well, it's hard to say, after all, the stone statue was made by man, and if it can be similar to this extent, it is enough to show that the carver is going to carve it in the appearance of a dream. Sima Chun rubbed his head with one hand and said in a firm tone.
The corners of Zhou Yi's eyes were slightly yang, and he said lightly: "It's impossible!"
As soon as the words fell, he suddenly felt that a figure flashed at the door, at this time Zhou Yi's heart was full of doubts, at this time he was being followed, if he was captured, wouldn't these problems be solved?
