Chapter 20 Do not give up, do not change your heart
Lan Xiaorui was silent, at this time he could only be silent, and he could only be silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Luo Qingyu was also silent, and after a while, he said, "The reason why I didn't tell you the truth earlier is because I don't want to make Xiaoxue sad."
Lan Xiaorui was puzzled: "Why"?
Luo Qingyu answered quickly this time, since he wanted to say it, then he simply made it clear and clear.
"Back then, the whole family of the child who was engaged to Xiaoxue suffered an extremely tragic disaster, and basically all the family members died tragically," he seemed to have no courage to talk about anymore halfway through ......his words. After a long pause, he continued: "You may think it is a little strange, since the child's family has all died tragically, why does Xiaoxue ......have to wait for him so desperately."
Lan Xiaorui was indeed a little strange, but since Luo Qingyu had already said it himself, it was not good for him to ask again.
"The reason why Xiaoxue has been waiting is only because when we buried the child's family, we went back and forth through all the corpses in the pile of dead, but we didn't find the child's body, so Xiaoxue firmly believed that the child was still alive. However, ten years have passed, and there has been no news of the child. In other words, although Xiaoxue has been waiting, not only me, but also she herself may know that her waiting may have no point. Although I, although Xiaoxue, although we have always been reluctant to believe...... I don't want to believe that the child is no longer alive, but the facts are the facts. Perhaps, although the child's body was not found at the time, he may have died ten years ago, and he was indeed dead. Although Xiaoxue has been waiting, her waiting may not have any results in her life. That's how it happened, and that's why I didn't tell you the details earlier."
"Ha, haha......", Lan Xiaorui laughed miserably: "In that case, then why are you telling me this now, what is the point of you saying this now?"
Luo Qingyu smiled and said, "It really doesn't mean anything to me, but it's different for you and Xiaoxue."
"What's the difference, what's the difference"?
"Although Xiaoxue has a stubborn temperament, she can't just guard a person who died many years ago for the rest of her life, can she only worry about an old person whose whereabouts are unknown for the rest of her life?"
"It's ......".
Luo Qingyu suddenly stared at Lan Xiaorui with sharp eyes, his face sank like water, and he said word by word: "Now, do you understand what I mean"?
Lan Xiaorui was stunned for a moment, and the person gradually calmed down. Luo Qingyu's words seemed to cast a stone in his heart, making his already desperate state of mind suddenly stir up the slightest ripples, and then his heart was surging and his blood boiling.
This is really a wake-up dreamer!
But......
He still hesitated: "What if the child is still alive"?
Luo Qingyu asked rhetorically: "If that kid is still alive, why hasn't he heard anything so far." Xiaoxue has been waiting for him for so many years, if he is still alive, then why hasn't he come back?"
Lan Xiaorui suddenly became excited again, and hurriedly asked, "Then in the past ten years, there really hasn't been any news of that person?"
Luo Qingyu immediately glanced at him, and said angrily: "You are deaf, I didn't hear what I just said, although we have been looking for it all these years, but it has always been in vain." The kid had not been heard from at all, perhaps ten years ago. I really don't know what you're doing with these two ears, are you furnishings, I've been talking about it for so long, and you haven't even heard a word clearly."
Lan Xiaorui only coughed with a dry smile, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he simply turned his face away.
However, what the brother-in-law said was also right, Fang Cai's heart was agitated and emotionally unstable, and he really didn't hear what he said just now.
But I heard Luo Qingyu sigh again, and said sadly: "Fate is ill-fated, life is impermanent, although some pain is too big for us to bear, but you have to bear it." Fate never takes into account your feelings, let alone gives you the right to choose. Although man claims to be the spirit of all things, but manpower is too small after all, and in the face of the arrangement made by fate, we can only choose to accept it, right?"
After saying these words in one breath, he seemed to feel a little lighter all of a sudden.
But Lan Xiaorui could feel the deep pain and loss in his heart, and of course, his helplessness to fate.
Luo Qingyu's pain, loss, and helplessness may not only be because of the old man, but also because of Luo Qingxue, because of the sister who is as cold as frost on the surface but is as warm as fire in her heart.
If only Xiaoxue could be a little less paranoid, if only she could be less aggressive, if only she could be less stubborn, if only she ......
He had thought more than once that if Xiaoxue was just a heartless, half-hearted, and unsympathetic stupid girl, how good it would be.
But he clearly knew that this was just his extravagant hope, his wishful thinking.
Xiaoxue is too single-minded, too affectionate, and even too stubborn and paranoid. She's too stubborn, she's really ...... Really......
Why Xiaoxue just doesn't give up, why does she never change her mind. Why has it been so many years, but she just doesn't give up, why is this?
Xiaoxue she ......
Lan Xiaorui was also a little disappointed, but more ashamed. Because, he found that he was not as good as a woman. It's just that in the face of a result at a loss, Luo Qingxue was able to wait stubbornly for ten years, and she was so persistent and had no regrets. But he, a dignified and good man, a seven-foot husband, saw that the beautiful woman was obviously in front of him, but he only waited for five years before he felt disheartened, and he thought about giving up.
At this moment, Lan Xiaorui secretly swore in his heart that he would not marry Luo Qingxue in this life, even if he waited for another five, ten, or even fifty years. He also had to wait until the day when Luo Qingxue would no longer reject him, and he believed that this day would definitely come.
If, not later......
Make an assumption, assuming that if Yang Xiaofeng didn't come back, maybe ......
Maybe in that case, maybe after a period of time, maybe Luo Qingxue might really accept Lan Xiaorui, and there is a great possibility.
It's a pity......
It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.
As soon as he made up his mind, Lan Xiaorui suddenly came to his senses again, and immediately asked tentatively, "Then what should I do now?"
Luo Qingyu asked rhetorically, "What do you say?"
Lan Xiaorui said in frustration: "Qingxue never accepts me, I ......."
Luo Qingyu was a little speechless for a while, and even more helpless, can't Xiaolan be a little angry, is it okay to be a big man. Alas, forget it, let's show him the way, so that he can have some hope.
"You go back and clean up, we will set off for Ethereal Peak the day after tomorrow."
"Go to the Ethereal Peak ......", Lan Xiaorui frowned and said, "You also want to go to the martial arts rookie meeting"?
Luo Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I have already received an invitation from Duanmu Xuan."
Lan Xiaorui immediately shook his head and said: "Brother-in-law, although there is indeed nothing wrong with participating in the martial arts rookie meeting at your current age, but over the years, uncle has not been very concerned about the affairs of the valley, and you are basically taking care of everything, and you are now the valley master of the Falling Snow Valley." With your current status, if you go to participate in the martial arts rookie meeting, is it a bit cheap? What kind of martial arts rookie will be, although the name is good, but to put it bluntly, it is just to set up a stage for those nobodies who are just starting out, so that they can show their faces in front of everyone, of course, there are indeed people who may become famous in one fell swoop, but I don't think you need to join in the fun. Don't forget that you still have a lot of chores to do, so you don't have time to come."
"Who said I was going to join in the excitement of the martial arts rookie club"?
"Didn't you say it yourself, you just said it clearly, and you will set off the day after tomorrow", Lan Xiaorui was a little confused by him for a while.
Luo Qingyu said angrily: "Luoxue Valley still has some reputation in the rivers and lakes, as the young valley master, since I have received an invitation from Duanmu Xuan, I naturally want to attend the opening ceremony of the martial arts rookie meeting on behalf of Bengu, do you understand now?"
"That's ......", Lan Xiaorui nodded: "That's right, but it's ......."
"But what"?
Lan Xiaorui shook his head and said, "If you can find time to go to Ethereal Peak for this trip, then you can go alone." I don't have to, I really don't want to join in the fun, and I don't want to mess around with the gang of people in the Ethereal Peak."
"That means you're not going"?
"Don't go".
"Really not going"?
"What's really fake about this".
Luo Qingyu said indifferently: "Okay, since you don't want to go to the Ethereal Peak, I won't force you, then you can stay in the valley and wait for us to come back."
"That's the best, uh...... We...... , you just said we"?
"It's us, what's the problem"?
Lan Xiaorui was puzzled: "Could it be that who else do you want to take to the Ethereal Peak?"
"With whom...... , Oh, by the way......", Luo Qingyu cleared his throat, paused deliberately for a while, and said, "If you don't ask, I almost forgot to tell you, Xiaoxue will also go to the Ethereal Peak with me this time."
"Ah......", Lan Xiaorui was immediately stunned, stunned for a moment, and frowned: "You said that Qingxue will also go to the Ethereal Peak with you"?
Luo Qingyu nodded calmly, and said slowly: "Exactly." I have just asked Xiaoxue what she means, and she said that she will go to the Ethereal Peak with me this time, and the specific departure date has been set, so wait for her to clean up now, and we will leave when it is finished."
Lan Xiaorui hurriedly asked, "Is this true"?
"What is really not true, will I still coax you to fail"?
Lan Xiaorui suddenly became excited again, and he was so anxious that he didn't even know what to say.
Luo Qingyu squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Are you sure you won't go to the Ethereal Peak with me, alas, it's a pity, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to let the two of you try to be in one place alone, who would have thought that you wouldn't go, now it seems ......."
"Stop ......", Lan Xiaorui interrupted directly without waiting for him to finish: "I'll go, can't I go?"
Luo Qingyu laughed and said: "I remember that someone just said that they didn't want to go to the Ethereal Peak to join in this fun, why did they change their minds after a while." I just said I wouldn't go, why do I want to go now?"
"Can't I go again......", Lan Xiaorui didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said, "Don't say it, I'll go clean up and come back to ......you later."
I don't know if I can't wait, so he ran away before he finished speaking.
Luo Qingyu really had nothing to say to his brother-in-law, and seeing that he had run away, he finally advised: "Then you hurry up, we will set off the day after tomorrow, with Xiaoxue's temperament, she won't wait for you, of course, even if I want to wait for you, I don't dare to leave Xiaoxue alone and let her go first." Anyway, you know".
"Yes, yes, I promise to pack it up immediately, don't say the day after tomorrow, it's okay to leave later......", Lan Xiaorui had already run out for a long distance, and suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly ran back again, puzzled: "It's not right."
"What's wrong"?
"You just said that we will leave the day after tomorrow"?
"It's the day after tomorrow, what's wrong"?
Lan Xiaorui frowned and said: "Today is the fifth day of the new year, and if you set off the day after tomorrow, it will be the seventh day of the first month, but the martial arts rookie will only start on the twenty-fourth, which means that there are still nineteen days to go." Nineteen days, is it necessary for us to leave so early? Even according to the seventh day of the first month, there are seventeen days, and it only takes six days at most to go from the Falling Snow Valley to the Ethereal Peak. Six days, no matter how much it is delayed, it won't take seventeen days. Besides, there are still ten days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, don't we wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over before leaving? Isn't it just to participate in the martial arts rookie meeting, and it's not a big deal, we just need to arrive around twenty-three, even if you want to go to the Ethereal Peak a day or two early, it is more than enough time to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival. There's no need to be in such a hurry, it's too early to leave the day after tomorrow, and we don't have to crawl all the way slowly, so I think it's better to go after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'm afraid of being late."
Luo Qingyu smiled lightly: "Isn't it good to crawl slowly all the way, you must know that the opportunity is rare, if you miss it, I am afraid that there will be no such good opportunity in the future."
Lan Xiaorui was at a loss for a while, and said in confusion: "What opportunity is rare, have you missed it?"
Luo Qingyu looked really disappointed in your IQ, and said: "Of course it is the opportunity for you and Xiaoxue to be alone, do you think that if you don't take this opportunity, you can meet Xiaoxue." Or do you think that she might ignore you on weekdays"?
"This ......", Lan Xiaorui was speechless.
"So, I deliberately created an opportunity for you kid to get along with Xiaoxue, do you know, it's a pity that my good intentions are going to be ......wasted by you in vain", Luo Qingyu had an expression of how you want to do it, anyway, I don't care, I don't care: "You're right, it's really too early to set off now, since you're too early, then okay, just follow your wishes, and we'll leave after the festival." As for my kindness, it seems that you don't need it now, and I have wasted all this idleness. You can do whatever you want, whatever you want, I'll go and tell Xiaoxue to let her not clean up yet, anyway, it's still early, what are you busy with, you say yes."
As he spoke, he was leaving.
Lan Xiaorui hurriedly grabbed his arm, and said with a flattering smile: "Brother-in-law, I was wrong, can't I be wrong?" You must not go and tell Qingxue, I will go and prepare, the day after tomorrow, we will set off the day after tomorrow."
Luo Qingyu couldn't help laughing, and said with a straight face: "Aren't you too early, no, I think I'd better go talk to Xiaoxue and tell her not to be busy."
Lan Xiaorui was so anxious that he was sweating, and his voice was almost crying, and he pleaded: "Brother-in-law, good brother-in-law, blame me for my stinky mouth, I always like to ask nonsense when I have nothing to do." In this way, I promise to listen to you in everything in the future, and absolutely everything will listen to you. You must not go and tell Qingxue, you know her temperament, a little careless, if she has a bad temper for a while, what if she doesn't go directly. So, no matter what, you must not say it, just take it as if I begged you, is that not okay?"
Luo Qingyu looked at the sky with his eyes, unmoved, and said slowly: "I'll think about it." Oh, yes, I was still wondering just now, how could Xiaoxue want to go to the Ethereal Peak for a while, I guess it was her whim, or which tendon was wrong. Thanks to you for reminding me, otherwise I almost forgot, with Xiaoxue's temper, if I went to tell her at this time to wait for the festival to go to the Ethereal Peak, I don't think she would go again."
Lan Xiaorui almost knelt down, gritted his teeth, and said, "In this way, in a few days, I will secretly bring five jars of snow dew wine from my father's private collection to you, how about it?"
"It's only five altars, let me think about ......."
"Ten altars ......", Lan Xiaorui was really anxious this time, and he was completely ruthless, hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth again and said: "Fifteen altars, fifteen altars are always okay, right?"
"Fifteen jars of sherry...... Knock ......", Luo Qingyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva secretly, and reluctantly sighed: "Okay, but this matter has to be done secretly, and you must not let your sister know, otherwise, be careful that she picks the skin of the two of us, in short, her methods must be clear."
"Ye ......", Lan Xiaorui jumped up directly, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, it's not easy to hide from my sister, I promise to do it without knowing it."
Luo Qingyu immediately glared at Lan Xiaorui coldly, and was about to leave, and said, "I think I'd better hurry up and talk to Xiaoxue, and I don't know it." You think your sister is stupid, just like you are now, if you want not to be discovered by her, the ghost can only believe it."
Lan Xiaorui hurriedly put away the joy on his face, and at the same time pulled Luo Qingyu's sleeve, made a bitter gourd face and said, "This look should always be able to hide from my sister, right?"
Luo Qingyu looked at it carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "It should be possible, but it seems to be a little reluctant." Anyway, I don't remember when you were reliable."
Lan Xiaorui really didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly ran away, and finally said, "Then I'll go and prepare first, and call me when I leave the day after tomorrow."
"Got it, you should prepare. By the way, remember the sherba, fifteen jars."
"Rest assured, there will be no shortage of jars."
Looking at Lan Xiaorui's back, Luo Qingyu gradually put away the smile on his face, and slowly, it seemed to be sad again.
After finally glancing back at the courtyard gate of his sister's residence, he finally walked away slowly.
In fact, he didn't tell Lan Xiaorui that the reason why he was in such a hurry to set off so early that he had to rush to the Ethereal Peak without even waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to finish was because before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he and his sister had another thing to do, and their brother and sister had to go to another place.
Since ten years ago, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he has to accompany Xiaoxue to Qingshui Villa. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, incense is placed on the deceased to pay tribute.
Over the years, every year, for a whole decade, there has never been an exception.
