Chapter 93: The Stars That Night
"Anyway, I've decided, no matter where my husband goes in the future, I'll go. Ling Ling looked at Tuoba Duan and said firmly.
"I'll take you out when this place is cleaned up. Tuoba stretched out his hand to help Ling Ling wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, I don't know how many times I have seen Ling Ling cry and swollen her eyes in the past few days.
After the filial piety was finished, Tuoba Duan fostered Ah Huang in the house next door and gave him a sum of silver. took Ling Ling and left this place far away.
After that, I took her to many places in the Central Plains. I went on chivalrous deeds with her and made a lot of friends. Tuoba returned to the brazier and sat down.
"What a good girl, like my little rain, and now I don't even know where she is. Yu Wenze said.
"It's a pity, fate makes people, and the red face is gone. Fei Yuan sat on the side, looking grim.
"I have the ability to protect her from being bullied, but I can't save her. Tuoba Duan said slowly.
Tuoba Duan and Ling Ling passed through the town together, and at first there were only a few people in the town who were infected with the wind cold, and then it spread in the next few days, like a plague, and everyone coughed incessantly. Ling Ling understands the art of pharmacology, and the heart of a doctor is naturally to go and check.
But Tuoba Duan didn't have any way, he accompanied Ling Ling to check and saved a lot of people, but it was also because Ling Ling faced many patients all day long, and he was overworked, and finally he was infected with this disease.
The disease broke out very quickly, and he became terminally ill in less than a month, and when he was dying, Ling Ling did not let Tuoba Duan approach, for fear that Tuoba Duan would also be implicated.
At that time, Tuoba Duan was desperate, sitting next to Ling Ling, holding her hand, and looking at her quietly.
"Husband, I don't regret it, it's just that I still want to be with you, how nice it would be to be by your side, I really don't want to leave, I don't want to leave you. Ling Ling leaned on the couch, her face a little dark.
"I know, I know," Takoba choked, unable to believe it was all true.
"Husband, after I leave, you can take me back to the East China Sea, but unfortunately I can't see what the sea looks like. Ling Ling's face carried a kind of longing and yearning.
"Let's go, let's go now, I'll take you to see the sea. Tuoba Duan picked up Ling Ling from the couch, just like she had carried Ling Ling at the beginning, but she was lighter.
"I'll be able to get to the East China Sea soon, you hold on. Tuobaduan's eyes were red, and he was walking extremely fast, like a gust of wind.
"Husband, your back is still as warm as ever, and it's still so comfortable. Ling Ling lay on Tuoba Duan's back, his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.
Tuoba Duan stayed awake for a day and a night, and rushed frantically to the East China Sea.
"Ling'er lady, the East China Sea has arrived. "Tuoba stood in front of the East China Sea, his hair scattered, like a mad beast.
But Ling Ling on his back did not respond, and Tuoba Duan's heart chuckled.
Ling Ling's hands were already cold, like a cold tombstone.
The East China Sea is still the same as usual, and the sky is the same, but for Tuoba Duan, all this is gray, and his heart is full of indelible haze.
Without any pain or emotion, Tuoba Duan looked at Donghai blankly, and the words he had said to Ling Ling rang in his mind.
"Many, many rainwaters come together to form streams, many streams come together to form rivers, and many rivers come together to form lakes and rivers. And whether it is rain, streams, rivers or lakes, they will eventually melt into one place, and that is the sea!"
"The land by the sea is soft to step on, and it is as soft as cotton when you lie down. The smell of the sea breeze smells salty, like salt has been sprinkled in it. And the appearance of the sea, like this sky, is blue, so big that you can't see the edge. ”
The original girl had a smile on her face and said playfully, "If only one day I could go and see the sea." ”
Now she was at the beach, but she couldn't see it.
Tuoba Duan was like a stone, sitting on the beach with Ling Ling on his back, his mind full of shadows of the past.
"What other wishes did you make that day?" Tuoba Duan suddenly asked one day after the two got married.
"Of course, I hope that my benefactor will live a long life in the future. Ling Ling's face turned red and then said.
"Husband, did you buy this string of silver bells for me?" Ling Ling found a string of silver bells from the clothes Tuoba had changed.
"If I had bought it for you, I would have given it to you, I bought it for myself. Tuoba smiled and sat on the threshold teasing Ah Huang.
"Even if you bought it for yourself, you won't buy it for me. Ling Ling pretended to be angry, and her bulging cheeks were like goldfish.
"Yes, with this string of silver bells, no matter where you are, you will think of my bell lady when you see it. Tuoba stood up, his tall figure blocking the sunlight outside the door, but his words turned into a ball of light that warmed the girl's heart.
"Husband, you are so handsome, why do you often wear black clothes. This is what I made for you with my own hands, and the cloth I went to pick out, although it is not as good as those gorgeous clothes, but it still feels very good, you can try it. Ling Ling stood in front of Tuoba Duan and handed the neatly folded white clothes to Tuoba Duan.
"The black clothes are more resistant to dirt, so I'll change them myself. Tuoba Duan took the shirt from Ling Ling's hand.
"Wow, my husband is immortal, this white dress is really a good match for you. Ling Ling clapped his hands and jumped around Tuoba Duan, looking left and right.
"Well, that's also the craftsmanship of Ling'er Niang. Tuoba Duan walked into the courtyard and danced his sword in the sunlight to show Ling Ling.
"Husband, I don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, do you think I'm stupid?" Ling Ling leaned on Tuoba Duan's arm and looked up at the starry sky.
"Even if you don't know anything, I think you're the best. Tuoba Duan and Ling Ling lay on the thatched roof, looking up at the starry sky together.
"Husband, why do you say the stars are so beautiful?" Ling Ling always has some whys, but Tuoba Duan likes to tell Ling Ling those whys, and when he encounters some complicated problems, Tuoba Duan will also find a way to make Ling Ling understand.
"No matter how beautiful the stars are, they are far away, and we have to grasp the beauty around us, such as my bell lady, is the most beautiful, much more beautiful than those stars, and it is around me. Tuoba said with a smile.
"I hate it, you know how to coax me, I'm asking you about your serious business!" Ling Ling blushed and immediately sat up. Although he said so, his heart was beautiful.
"What's wrong with saying that your lady is beautiful? Besides, what I said was the truth. Tuoba Duan also sat up, and at the same time reached out to straighten a strand of messy hair for Ling Ling.
Under the starry sky, the distance between the two slowly approached, and even the air was full of the smell of happiness.
Boom, the waves of the East China Sea crashed against the shore, and some of the tide washed over Tuoba Duan's shoes.
Tuoba Duan's heart slowly seemed to be torn, and even his breathing was tingling, and his mind was full of Ling Ling's figure.
The sky was so big that Tuoba Duan lost his direction for a while, stumbled, and finally collapsed on the beach.
When Tuoba Duan woke up, it was already two days later, only to find that Ling Ling had been buried on the shore by the people who rescued him.
Tuoba Duan thanked the person who saved him and went to the coast to accompany Ling Ling, because the person who saved Tuoba Duan did not know Ling Ling's name, so he set up a wordless monument.
Tuoba Duan retrieved a lot of ore from the storage bag and made a new tombstone.
But I always felt that my heart was empty, and my back was empty, so Tuoba Duan carried this tombstone.
Since then, there has been an extra strange man on the rivers and lakes, dressed in white and carrying a tombstone.
"No matter what, you can't change what happened in the past, you can't turn back the clock. Yu Wenze patted Tuoba Duan's shoulder to express comfort.
"Brother Yuwen, when I met you, your lonely appearance was a bit similar to my past, so I rushed to disturb you. It's almost dawn, thank you two brothers for listening to me, let's go back and rest for a while. Tuoba stood up, the sound of a string of silver bells coming from his waist, and the sound faded away with his figure.
"Brother Tuoba, where are you going?" Fei Yuan shouted.
"Brother Fei just let him be alone and be quiet, he has talked so much, he must have remembered too much of the past. He had kept it in his heart and only now told people about it. Yu Wenze picked up the bucket and extinguished the brazier, turned around and entered the wooden house.
"I envy you who have experienced feelings. Fei Yuan rubbed his eyes and left the place.
For a moment, the morning sun shone down in the valley, and the birds chirped in one piece.
In the bamboo forest, Tuoba Duan took out the string of silver bells from his waist and put them in the sun, the silver bells were bright, just like the stars at night.
