Chapter 365: The Bitter Man
It's another Mid-Autumn Night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
For most people, this Mid-Autumn Festival, like every Mid-Autumn Festival in the past, doesn't seem to make much difference.
However, for a small number of people, tonight is still a little different.
Luo Qingxue is one of these small number of people.
The fish has been cooked and the mooncakes have been served. This fish was bought when he came back yesterday, and this mooncake was also quietly made by him this morning while she was still asleep, but what about his people?
He must have come back at this time of the day, and he must have been eating the food he had made for him.
In the past three months, there has never been a day that he has not returned, and he has always come back early. Even at the latest, it was only when the slanting yang had just fallen on the wide martial arts arena outside the door, and he would definitely come back.
For three months, she would make dinner and wait for him every day. Although she also knew that the food she cooked was not very delicious, she had to make it for him, and she liked to see him have a bitter look on his face every time he ate the food, but she had to force him to pretend to be delicious and smirk.
Whenever this happens, she can't help but want to laugh wildly.
She liked to hear him call her "Wife" as vulgarly as a normal peasant man.
She liked it, and after every dinner, he gently put his arm around her shoulders and sat together on the veranda outside to watch the moon. When there was no moon, they looked at the stars together.
In fact, for her, it doesn't matter what she sees, the important thing is that as long as he is around.
She liked that every time he went to bed, he would bring a basin of hot water to force her to sit down, and shout, "Wait for my wife to wash her feet."
As for himself, he just washes indiscriminately every time, and he doesn't care about the hot water and cold water, and always says something "Anyway, I'm going to go out and run, and I'm not afraid of the cold entering my body, catching a cold or something......".
She liked to quietly pull his arm over as a pillow every time she dreamed back in the middle of the night, and then curled up in his arms and fell asleep again.
Or, she started pretending to be asleep first, and when he was asleep, she got up again and looked at his well-defined features in a daze.
......
She thinks that this should be the so-called happiness.
She was used to it, and every morning he boiled a bowl of hot porridge for her, and coaxed her to drink it like a child.
If she was too lazy to do anything, he even had to feed her himself.
She was used to him, and every day he always begged herself for bits and pieces of coins, saying that he was buying wine, but every time he bought fruit, rouge, or some ornaments for girls. And then he always pretended to be cool and said, "It's because he was born chic, and these things are given by the girls in the town." In addition, he specially instructed her to take good care of her family and children, so as not to be hooked by others or ......".
Every now and then, although she was amused by him, she still pretended to be angry, and then blamed him.
She was going to finish the little episode he had made up with him.
Or sometimes, he'd pick a few wildflowers from the side of the road and put them on her head when he came back. She couldn't resist him, and after a while of yelling, she had to obediently let him bring the flowers to her, and then he would take the opportunity to kiss her on the face, and then quickly run away.
She was used to the look on his face when he looked at her smirk.
She felt that he was more like a child at this time. She loved to see him laugh, and she was used to it.
She was used to occasionally shouting for her hair when she didn't go to work, but the more she got it, the more dissatisfied she became, the more messy it became. In the end, it was up to her to do it herself to freshen up and tidy it up again.
She was used to frowning every time she had to clean up her room or help him out. In short, as long as he sees that he has to do the work, he will immediately rush to do the work first.
He always said, "I'll do all these chores, wife, you just need to watch me do it, if your hands are rough, I will feel distressed......."
She was used to it, and every time she went to the town to buy goods, he always had to bring a veil with her, and muttered, "I don't want your beautiful wife to be ...... by someone else."
She was used to it, as long as she said that she was tired, he would immediately carry her up the mountain, and said, "Anyway, wife, you are not heavy, it seems that you will have to eat more in the future, it is not good to lose weight like this......
She is used to arguing with him every day, obviously sometimes she is unreasonable, but he always lets her, and says something like "how can a man worry about his wife ......or something".
She had become accustomed to his voice, his breath, and even the taste of every dish he made.
She was used to waking herself up every morning by the sound of him cooking and chopping wood, and she was used to falling asleep listening to his breathing every night.
......
She has become completely accustomed to his presence in her life.
How can she get used to the days without him?
The dishes are there, the table is there, she is also there, and the only thing missing is him.
However, it was clear that he was the only one missing, but she felt that what she was missing was the whole world.
As he said: "Ah Xue, you are my whole world".
In the same way, he is her whole world.
He and she were all there to each other, or everything.
His words are still in his ears, but what about his people?
What is love?
Everyone is clamoring for love, and it seems that they really know how to love.
In this world, there seem to be too many people who love each other.
However, among these many pairs of people who love each other, how many people really love each other?
There are many people who love each other.
But too much is just deception, betrayal, disappointment, or play.
Too many people's love is just out of a possessive desire for the flesh, or some other messy things, this kind of love is more just impurities.
This kind of love is simply a blasphemy of love. This kind of love is simply shameful, even obscene.
But fortunately, there are always people who really love each other. Such people, while enjoying the sweetness brought to each other by this most sincere and pure emotion, they also know how to be in awe of this emotion.
Luo Qingxue and Yang Xiaofeng are such a pair of people who love each other.
She and him, for each other, each other is not only lovers, but also friends, confidants, and relatives.
He and she are no longer just two people who love each other. He and she know each other, rely on each other, and respect each other more.
Perhaps, this is true love.
This emotion is great and divine. It is as great and sacred as family and friendship.
It's just that the sad thing is that now, he and her are the only ones left.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Luo Qingxue knew who was coming.
She had just sent out the letter fire.
She knew that there were people in Momiji Town, and that Falling Snow Valley had set up a base in Momiji Town twelve years ago.
If it weren't for the seriousness of today's incident, she wouldn't have wanted to trouble anyone.
The daughter who marries out, spills the water. From the day she left the Falling Snow Valley, she had completely detached herself from the Falling Snow Valley.
Now, she is no longer the eldest lady of Falling Snow Valley. Now, she is just an ordinary woman, no different from any ordinary woman in this world.
Now, she is used to her current status. Now, she is also used to the current way of life.
However, because of today's events, she had to use the power of Falling Snow Valley again.
In fact, she could not use the power of Falling Snow Valley, and she ran to the bottom of the cliff to find Yang Xiaofeng by herself.
However, with her strength alone, how much place can she find?
Or rather, she just didn't dare to face it. She didn't dare to face the result when she found him, the sad result.
The first one to come in was Luo Qingyu.
Luo Qingyu didn't leave yesterday. Many people in the old department in Red Leaf Town hadn't gone back for many years, so Luo Qingyu simply stayed behind to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them.
His sister is his family, and the old ministry is also his family.
The reason why Luoxue Valley has been able to survive on the rivers and lakes for three hundred years is that each generation of valley masters treats every disciple and servant in the valley as a family member.
This is also the reason why Luo Wenbin was forced to threaten to kill Yang Xiaofeng. Yang Xiaofeng is indeed his son-in-law, but he has to protect his family even more.
He is the lord of the Falling Snow Valley, and he is responsible for the lives of everyone in the valley.
People will always encounter a dilemma in this life, as long as killing one person can save many people's lives, this deal is also a good deal.
Is it wrong for Luo Wenbin to do this?
Maybe he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
But the truth is that he was wrong, and he was very wrong.
His fault is not that he did it wrong, but that he ignored a basic understanding.
Human life is not a commodity and cannot be traded.
The life of a group of people is fate, and the life of one person is also fate.
There is no such thing as a matter of weight.
Therefore, one person cannot arbitrarily deprive another of the lives of another in order to protect the lives of others.
This truth is actually very simple, but there are very few people who really understand it.
But fortunately, there are still one or two people who understand.
Yang Xiaofeng is one, and Luo Qingyu is also one.
It's a pity that there seems to be only one person who understands this truth now, Luo Qingyu is the only one left.
"Big brother ......", Luo Qingxue was a little surprised by Luo Qingyu's arrival.
"Why, didn't you expect the eldest brother to come......", Luo Qingyu had already noticed that his sister's expression was wrong, but he pretended to be relaxed and said: "Xiaoxue, you are not doing this well." My daughter's family will go back three days after the wedding, of course, it's a long way back from here, but you won't come back for three months. If you don't come back, my eldest brother will have to come over to see you, who let me be such a sister."
Luo Qingxue held back her tears, didn't turn her head, quietly wiped it, and then looked back at Luo Qingyu again.
She didn't speak, and she didn't cry. From then on, she couldn't cry.
At the very least, she must never cry in front of her big brother again. She can't let her eldest brother worry about her married sister in the future.
Luo Qingyu also seemed to feel a little sad, but he still smiled and said: "By the way, Xiaofeng, I'm here as a big brother, so he has to accompany me out for a drink."
He glanced around, thinking: Could it be that the knot in Xiaofeng's heart has not been untied. However, if the knot in his heart has not been untied, how can he go to the Falling Snow Valley to pick up Xiaoxue?
Anyway, the situation in front of him always made him feel that something was wrong. Thinking of the letter fire just now, he suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Although Luo Qingxue tried very hard to suppress the tears and didn't want them to flow, how could she hold back the tears, she had already cried in a low voice: "He fell off the cliff."
"What's ......", Luo Qingyu was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "What's the matter, wasn't it all fine last night?"
Luo Qingxue lay on the table and cried for a while, choking up: "This afternoon, when I went to the back mountain with him to worship, I ran to the cliff to watch the sunset, and accidentally fell, and he fell off the cliff in order to save me."
"Watch the sunset ......"?
Luo Qingyu frowned and asked, "Is this really the case?"
He always felt that things were not so simple. My sister is not the kind of careless girl, how could she fall off a cliff at sunset?
Luo Qingxue burst into tears and didn't speak again.
She didn't want to involve anyone anymore. She didn't want any more grudges.
Luo Qingyu stared at her sister for a long time, and said lightly: "I know."
Immediately, he went out.
At this time, Lao Qi and his gang were waiting for him outside the door.
Seeing Luo Qingyu coming out, Lao Qi hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Gu Master, is something wrong?"
Luo Qingyu's face was heavy, and he ordered lightly: "Uncle Qi, you immediately gather all the people we can use to go to the bottom of the cliff behind Qingshui Villa to find someone"?
Lao Qi waved his hand to Xiao Xu and Zhang Wu behind him, and the two went immediately. Only then did he ask in surprise: "Gu Master, what's wrong?"
Luo Qingyu took a deep breath and said lightly: "Xiaofeng has fallen off the cliff."
"Ah......h......h
"Alas......", Luo Qingyu sighed helplessly, and said astringently: "You say, why is Xiaoxue's life so bitter, I thought that this time she and Xiaofeng could ...... , but ......".
