Chapter 3: Thoughts on a Moonlit Night
The sky was dark, and the moon was high. In the quiet valley everyone slept, except for one person.
In the simple wooden house, a basin of cold water poured the cold moon from head to toe.
The coolness of the cold water woke Hanzuki from his drunkenness, and he was naked, dirt flowing down the water to the ground. And his body was scarred by intertwined canine teeth, old wounds, and new wounds. His body was wounded, then scarred, then new flesh, and finally continued to be injured, like an infinite cycle of reincarnation.
Maybe this is the fate of the prodigal son, how can the duckweed in the wind have the brightness and delicate of the flowers in the greenhouse. They can only grow up with blood, without the scorching fire, without the tempering of life and death, maybe the cold moon is no longer a cold moon.
"If you don't take care of yourself like this, sooner or later you will die. ”
The sudden sound made Han Yue's heart move. In a hurry, he just wanted to put on his clothes, this was his room, and he thought that no one would be waiting for him.
What he didn't know was that there was a person who had been waiting for him for so many years. Liu Piaoxu saw him the moment Han Yue entered the valley, and at this moment, looking at the scars behind Han Yue, did his heart suffer so many injuries as well as his body.
"Don't move, let me help you. ”
Hanyue slowly lowered her hand, and Liu Piaoxu skillfully took out the scoop in the basin, scooped the water in the bucket, and helped Hanyue clean up the dirt on her back.
Women's hands may be inherently dexterous than men's, and the beating of their fingertips is like that of elves, gentle and dexterous. They can't dance the swordsmanship of killing, and they don't use their hands to guide the country. But they can make the wounded less painful with their hands, and the less killing in the world.
"Piaofu, you haven't slept so late?"
Feeling the warmth and silkiness on his back, the cold moon was a little embarrassed. Although the two met freely, and there was nothing to joke about on weekdays, it was the first time that such an intimate act had been made.
Liu Piaoxu carefully wiped Han Yue's back, heard Han Yue's words, and said, "I'm waiting for you." I know you've never taken care of yourself, and you've been so strong every time that you get hurt. I've been away from you for so many years, and I don't know how you got here. ”
"I'm a thick-skinned man, not so delicate. Hanyue laughed.
"Have you ever thought that if you die, you are no longer alone? What should you do if you die, Zhao Lingxin? She risked her life to save you, do you not value your life so much?"
The cold moon was silent, and the sound of willow fluttering still echoed in the air.
"If one day I die, you will definitely have to learn to take care of yourself. You're already a big man, and now you have a woman you like. You will have a lovely home. When that day comes, you'll be fine."
Cold Moon turned suddenly. He froze.
The willow fluttering in his eyes is always a stubborn woman with a little arrogance. She could allow others to laugh at her, but she would never allow herself to show the slightest weakness. Every road in her life has been so hard, but she is not afraid, she has never been afraid.
This woman, who has never been fearless, cried without warning in front of the cold moon at this moment.
"Drifting, me. ”
There was a quarter of an hour. Hanyue wanted to hug Liu Piaofu tightly in her arms, this woman had been by her side for so many years. She has been silently supporting herself, her smile is so close, but it is so easy to ignore.
Cold Moon's arms were already open. But a face crossed his mind, and Han Yue paused, he lost a good opportunity.
"It's fine. ”
Looking at Han Yue's arm stopped in the air, Liu Piaoxu wiped her eyes, maybe she has experienced too many things in the past few days, and this strong woman is also tired, and she will also become weak.
"Turn around, and I'll give you another rush. ”
Hanyue bit her lip and said loudly, "I'd better do it myself." ”
Liu Piaoxu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Han Yue's eyes in surprise, the eyes that once flashed with a strange brilliance now seem a little dim, perhaps, if something is missed, it will never be recovered. Reluctantly squeezing out a smile, Liu Piaoxu put the scoop in his hand in Hanyue's hand.
"Okay, you remember to go to bed early. ”
"Yes. ”
Liu Piaofu slowly withdrew from the room, and the moment she turned around, tears poured out of her eyes, and her heart was broken for a moment, but the heartache was eternal. She thought she could be generous, she could not care, but how ridiculous all this was, and she was just a woman.
She met the right person at the right time, but she didn't make the right choice.
There was no sleep this night.
When the sun rose again from the sky, the cold moon had already left the cabin, and everyone was already waiting in front of the cabin, as if he had forgotten the events of last night. There are more important things waiting for him today, and Chu Ziyan handed over the letter from Hao Yu yesterday to Han Yue.
After reading all the contents of the letter, it was not much different from what he expected at the beginning, Han Yue smiled: "The time and place are all left to me to decide, it seems that the shadow is scared this time." ”
Chu Ziyan was not as optimistic as Han Yue, this was precisely the time when they should be most worried, Chu Ziyan asked, "Young Master Yue, do you think that the shadow will take this opportunity to settle accounts with you?"
Han Yue sneered, "Settle accounts? I'm just afraid that he won't come." And now I think the shadow invites us to be out of the valley."
"What?" Chu Ziyan was taken aback.
Hanyue seemed very calm, "Don't worry, this time I don't think Shadow will make the same mistake as before." He should also know that I'm not someone to be easily provoked. ”
Han Yue's words made Chu Ziyan relax, but Han Yue's next words made his heart tighten, "I plan to go alone." ”
"No!" Chu Ziyan immediately objected, the brothers who had been in trouble together once upon a time must not retreat at such a critical juncture, and the wine they drank together was not just turned into water.
Chu Ziyan said: "I want to follow you, I am no longer a burden now, I can protect myself, you don't have to worry about me." ”
Han Yue said: "Zi Yan, I'm not worried about you going to spoil my business, but there are other important things to hand over to you." ”
"What's the matter?" Chu Ziyan was stunned for a moment and asked.
Han Yue said: "I want you to go to Sword Casting Villa to help me find someone, his name is Jian Wufeng, he is the eldest young master of Sword Casting Villa, you brought him here." Calculate the time, and the time that Ghost Ten and I agreed on has also arrived. Once the shadow matter is settled, the other things must be solved as well. ”
Chu Ziyan said: "Then let Sanniang go, I still have to go with you." ”
"Ziyan, Sanniang wants to wait in the valley, in case there is anything to do and what to take care of. You have to listen to me about this, understand?" said Hanyue in an unmistakable tone.
"Big brother. Chu Ziyan finally pleaded, Han Yue's move was just to support him, and he was still so that he could bear all the possible consequences by himself.
"Believe me. ”
Han Yue looked at Chu Ziyan's eyes, he was no longer willing to let his brother get hurt, a heart-rending feeling was enough. Now he only hopes that the people around him are safe and that there will be no more departures.
Chu Ziyan lowered his head, there were tears in his eyes, and there were tears in his heart.
The others in the valley, Gu Xin, Fa Zhen, the Murong sisters, and Liu Piaoxu. There are so many people who can be missed here, there are so many people who still care about themselves, how can he die easily, he will only cherish his life more, for the love of him and the people he loves.
"Yue, remember to come back, I'm here waiting for you. The last words came from Hanyue's ears.
In ancient times, Jing Ke passed away and was easy to water, and today the cold moon will also leave.
With that sword, the cold moon went out of the valley.
Outside the valley there was a carriage with a coachman on it. The carriage was new, with two black horses tied to its wheels, and the menes of the horses were jet-black and shiny. Hanyue looked at the coachman, who was wearing a very fashionable hat on his head, and Hanyue still recognized the person, it was the shadow.
Hanyue looked at him curiously and asked, "How long have you been waiting here?"
Shadow took off his straw hat and placed it on the cart, he looked like a coachman in a carriage for many years, and he cracked his mouth and smiled, "I just arrived." ”
Han Yue said: "I didn't expect you to catch a car. ”
Shadow said, "There are many things you didn't expect. ”
Hanyue nodded, looked at Shadow's outfit with interest, and commented, "Yes, I didn't expect them to send you to pick me up." ”
The Shadow shrugged, "Because only I know where you are, and that's what you told me." ”
Han Yue said: "So you already guessed that I would agree to your invitation and go to the meeting alone?"
"I don't know if it's going to the meeting alone, I just know that if you tell you that if you don't come out for a day, I'll stay here for a day, and if you don't come out for a year, I'll stay here for a year?"
"It seems that your status in the shadow is not very high. ”
"Good people are generally hard to do. ”
"So you're a good person. ”
"What do you think? ”
Han Yue pointed to the hidden valley behind him, and said mysteriously, "So you will keep it a secret for me, right?"
The Shadow looked at the sky and asked, "I wonder if it's time for you to get in the car." (To be continued......)
