Text Chapter 45 Past Events_04
Bridal chamber.
How many unmarried teenagers in the world are fantasizing about the beautiful scenery in the cave room on the night of flowers and candles? And how many old people who have died in their twilight are recalling the sweetness and warmth in the cave room that day?
Fantasy and memories are always beautiful.
In fact, the cave room on the night of the candle is usually not as warm and sweet as in the memory, and the scenery is far less beautiful than the fantasy.
Some people who think they are very intelligent often like to describe the cave house as a tomb, and even say that the sound coming from the cave room sometimes looks like a slaughterhouse.
Cave houses are certainly not tombs and slaughterhouses.
So what does a cave house look like?
The cave room is usually a not too warm room, red and green everywhere, full of the smell of paint, plus the smell of wine left by the guests, people who stay in it for two hours without vomiting must have a very special structure of nose and stomach.
Of course, there are two people in the cave room, a man and a woman, and these two people usually don't know each other too well, so they don't have much to say.
So even if it's noisy outside, it's usually calm inside the cave room.
Although the guests are desperately eating and drinking, as if they are afraid that they will not be able to get their money back, the bride and groom are usually hungry.
It was supposed to be a candle night in their cave room, but this day seemed to be for someone else.
Yan Qi's masked red scarf had been lifted, and he was hanging his head, sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at his red embroidered shoes.
Guo Dalu sat on the chair next to the small round table from a distance, and seemed to be stunned.
She didn't dare to look at him, and he didn't dare to look at her.
If he had drunk some wine, he might have felt more relaxed, but the good thing is that he didn't drink it today.
It seems that as long as the bridegroom wants to drink, some "well-wishers" will immediately come and stop him and rush to drink the wine for him.
They were already very good friends and had a lot to say every day.
But once you become a husband and wife, it's like you're no longer friends.
The two of them seemed to suddenly become very distant, very unfamiliar, and very afraid of embarrassment.
So no one is embarrassed to speak first.
Guo Dalu thought that he could handle it well, but as soon as he entered the cave room, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have become a nerd.
He was not used to it.
He originally wanted to walk over and sit next to Yan Qi, but for some reason, his legs were weak, and he couldn't even stand up:
I don't know how long it took, when Guo Dalu only felt that his neck was a little stiff-
Yan Qi suddenly said, "I'm going to sleep." ”
She actually said that she would sleep on her own, and she didn't even take off her shoes, so she fell on the bed, pulled up the red silk quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, and wrapped her body tightly.
She was facing the wall, her body curled up like a shrimp.
Guo Dalu bit his lip, looked at her, and gradually smiled in his eyes, and suddenly said, "Why didn't you ask me to go out today?"
Yan Qi ignored him, as if he had fallen asleep.
Guo Dalu smiled: "There are others in your room, aren't you unable to sleep?"
Yan Qi still didn't want to pay attention to him, but he couldn't help but say, "If you don't say a few words, I'll fall asleep." ”
Guo Dalu blinked and said leisurely: "With me in the house, you can sleep?"
Yan Qi bit his lip and said softly, "You...... You're no one else. ”
Guo Dalu said: "It's not someone else, who is it?"
Yan Qi suddenly smiled and said, "You are a big-headed ghost." ”
Guo Dalu suddenly sighed again and said, "It's strange, how could you marry me, a big-headed ghost?" I remember you seemed to have said before, even if all the men in the world died, they would not marry me. ”
Yan Qi suddenly turned over, grabbed the pillow, and threw it at him hard.
Her face was as red as a freshly picked ripe apple.
The pillow flew back again, and flew back with Guo Dalu's people.
Yan Qi blushed and said, "You...... You...... What do you want to do?"
Guo Dalu said: "I want to bite you." ”
The pink embroidered tent has fallen for some time.
If someone must say that the sound in the cave room is like a slaughterhouse, then the slaughterhouse must be a mosquito killer.
They also spoke like mosquitoes.
Guo Dalu seemed to be softly saying, "It's strange, it's strange." ”
Yan Qidao: "What's strange again?"
Guo Dalu said: "Why don't you smell at all?"
Just listening to the sound of "bar", it is like someone hitting mosquitoes, and the more they hit, the lighter they become, the lighter they become......
*******
It's almost dawn.
The brocade tent had just quieted down, and after a long time, I heard Guo Dalu say softly: "Do you know what I'm thinking now?"
Yan Qi said: "Hmm." ”
Her voice was like the murmur of a swallow, and no one could hear what she was saying.
Guo Dalu said: "I remembered a lot of strange things, but what I thought about the most was a big hoof that burned red and rotten. ”
Yan Qi smiled and said, "Can you say that you are thinking about me?"
Guo Dalu said: "No." ”
Yan Qidao: "Can't?"
Guo Dalu said: "Because I'm afraid of swallowing you in one bite." ”
He sighed and muttered, "It's not easy for me to get your wife, if I swallow it, I won't have it." ”
Yan Qi said: "No, wouldn't it be just right to find another one." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Who are you looking for?"
Yan Qidao: "For example...... Sour plum soup. ”
Guo Dalu said slowly: "No, she is too sour, and what she likes is you." ”
He suddenly smiled again and said, "Now I know that you didn't want her that day, why didn't she get angry at all...... You must have told her that day that you were a woman just like her. ”
Yan Qi said: "If I were a man, I would want her." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Why do you keep refusing to tell me that you are a woman?"
Yan Qidao: "Whoever calls you a blind person, others can see it, but you can't see it." ”
Guo Dalu said: "What you want to tell me is this secret?"
Yan Qi said: "Hmm." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Why do you have to wait until I'm dying before you tell me?"
Yan Qi said: "Because ...... 'Cause I'm afraid you don't want me ......."
.
Before she could finish her sentence, her mouth seemed to be blocked by something.
After a long time, she gasped softly and said, "Let's have a good chat, and you are not allowed to move." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Okay, if you don't move, don't move." But why are you afraid that I don't want you? Don't you know that even if you exchange people from all over the world for you, I won't change you. ”
Yan Qidao: "Really?"
Guo Dalu said: "Of course it's true. ”
Yan Qidao: "What if you exchange that water soft green?"
Guo Dalu sighed: "She is indeed a very good girl, and she is very pitiful, but it's a pity that my heart has already been occupied by you alone, and I can't tolerate anyone else." ”
Yan Qi snorted. There was a long silence in the brocade tent, as if the mouths of the two people had been blocked by something.
After a long time, Guo Dalu sighed and said, "I know that you are doing this to test me and whether you are loyal to you." ”
Yan Qi bit his lip and said, "If you are willing to stay there, you will never see me again in this life." ”
Guo Dalu said: "But after I have come here, why don't you let me come to see you?"
Yan Qi said: "Because there are other people who want to try you, to see if you are smart and courageous enough, to see if your heart is good enough, and whether you are qualified to be my father's son-in-law." ”
Guo Dalu said: "So they see if I'm smart enough to find out the secret of this room, and whether I'm brave enough to go to the Dragon King Temple." ”
Yan Qi said: "In that Dragon King Temple, if you dare to touch my little cousin's bad idea, or refuse to send her back first, even if you can find here, you still can't see me." ”
Guo Dalu sighed and said, "Fortunately, I am a good person who is smart and courageous......
Yan Qi smiled and hurriedly said, "Otherwise, how can you marry such a good wife?"
Guo Dalu sighed: "Only now did I realize that we were really a natural pair. ”
Yan Qidao: "You just found out now?"
Guo Dalu smiled: "Because I just found out now that both of us are thick-skinned enough." ”
Now this house really looks like a cave house, even sweeter and more beautiful than you imagined.
They are entitled to it.
Because their emotions can withstand the test, it is not easy for them to have such a day.
Diamonds have to be honed to shine.
The same goes for love and friendship.
Love and friendship that cannot stand the test are like flowers made of paper, which neither have the brightness and fragrance of flowers, nor will they ever bear fruit.
The trees have borne fruit, and although spring is gone, the harvest season is approaching.
Yan Qi sat under the tree, took off the big straw hat on his head to make a fan, and muttered, "It's so hot weather, Boss Wang must be even more lazy to move." ”
Guo Dalu's eyes looked into the distance and said, "These days, he and Xiaolin don't know what they're doing. ”
Yan Qi said: "Don't worry, they will never be lonely, especially Xiaolin." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Why?
Yan Qiyan smiled and said, "Have you forgotten the little girl who sells flowers?"
Guo Dalu also smiled, and immediately heard the crisp singing voice again:
"Little girl, get up early in the morning and go to bed,
Carry a basket of flowers and go to the market;
Walk through the streets, walk through the alleys,
Selling flowers, selling flowers, shouting......"
Of course, the singing voice was not sung by the little girl who sold flowers, it was Yan Qi who sang.
She shook her straw hat and sang so loudly that everyone on the road turned their heads and stared at her with wide eyes.
Guo Dalu smiled: "Don't you forget what kind of clothes you are wearing now?"
She was still dressed as a man, but her singing voice was as crisp as a yellow warbler out of the valley.
Yan Qi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, even if I don't sing, others can still see that I am a woman, and it is not easy for a woman to dress up like a man." ”
Guo Dalu said: "What about you before?"
Yan Qi said: "It was different before. ”
Guo Dalu said: "What's the difference?"
Yan Qi smiled: "I used to be dirty...... It's dirty, and everyone thinks that women should always be cleaner than men. ”
Guo Dalu said: "Actually?"
Yan Qi glared at him and said, "Actually, women are cleaner than men. ”
*******
This road is the way back to Nirvana Villa.
They have not forgotten their friends, and they want to share their happiness with their friends.
"Boss Wang and Xiao Lin know about us...... We've become husband and wife, and we'll be happy. ”
"I don't know if Kobayashi will be jealous. ”
After saying this, he started to run, and Yan Qi chased after him.
Since they didn't ride in a car or on horseback, they laughed, ran, and chased on the road, like two children.
Doesn't happiness always make people younger?
When I was tired of running, I sat down in the shade of the tree and bought a pancake for lunch.
Even the bland and tasteless hard wheat cakes are sweet in their mouths.
Guo Dalu hadn't drunk for several days, except for the day before they left, Nangong Chou had made an exception for his daughter and son-in-law, but he also had to drink a lot of them, so they were all drunk.
Yan Qi smiled and said, "Although my father can't drink now, he likes to watch others drink." ”
Guo Dalu smiled: "His previous alcohol consumption must have been good." ”
Yan Qidao: "Not only is it good, ten Guo Dalu may not be able to drink one of him." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Ha." ”
Yan Qidao: "What do you mean?"
Guo Dalu said: "What Ha means is that I am not only unconvinced, but also unconvinced. ”
Yan Qi said: "It's a pity that he is old now, and his old injuries have recurred, and he has been lying in bed for many years and can't move, otherwise it would be strange if he didn't fill you all over the ground." ”
Speaking of her father's illness, she couldn't help but show sadness in her eyes.
Guo Dalu also sighed softly and said, "He is really a great person, I didn't think he would let us go." ”
Yan Qidao: "Why?"
Guo Dalu said: "Because ...... Because he is so lonely, if he were someone else, he would definitely ask us to accompany him. ”
Yan Qidao: "But he is different, he never wants to make others suffer for himself, no matter how unbearable it is, he would rather endure it alone." ”
Her eyes lit up again, and she was clearly proud to have such a father.
Guo Dalu sighed: "To be honest, I never thought he was such a person. ”
Yan Qidao: "What kind of person did you think he was before?"
Guo Dalu said: "You know, the legends in the rivers and lakes say how terrible it is. ”
Yan Qi said: "What now?"
Guo Dalu sighed and said, "Now I know that those legends in the rivers and lakes are really terrifying, he can actually endure it for so many years, just by virtue of this, it is no longer comparable to others." ”
Yan Qi said gloomily: "This may only be because he can't bear it anymore." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Fortunately, he still has friends, I see the loyalty and friendship of the god camel to him, and I can't help but feel happy and moved for him." ”
Yan Qi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Do you know how they wanted to deal with him before?"
Guo Dalu shook his head.
Yan Qidao: "They also wanted to kill him before, but later, after several life-and-death struggles, they found out that he was not the person in the legend, and they were also moved by his personality, so they became his friends." ”
She smiled, smiled very sadly, and a little proudly, and continued: "For him, Jin Luohan even did not hesitate to betray Shaolin, and did not hesitate to be a traitor who would never see the light of day again for the rest of his life." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Isn't it because people have such great feelings that they are different from animals." ”
Yan Qidao: "This kind of feeling can only show its greatness in the midst of life and death. ”
And they were right.
It is only in the midst of life and death that a person can show his greatness.
Nangong Chou was able to win the friendship of the gods and camels, and what a tragic price he paid, I am afraid that it is not something that others can imagine.
If it weren't for the fact that in the moment of life and death, he would rather sacrifice himself to protect others, how would others know the greatness of his personality, and how could he sacrifice everything for him?
Among them, of course, there is also a thrilling, sad and tearful story.
This story does not need to be told again.
Because what we're going to talk about now is a story of joy.
There are enough sad stories in this world.
It's too much.
******
It's not dusk, it's almost dusk.
Although the sun has sunk in the west, the gravel road is still hot and hot to the touch.
In the shade of the tree in front of her, a ragged and haggard woman, with a child in her hand and a child on her back, was standing there begging from passers-by with her head hanging and her hands outstretched.
Guo Dalu immediately walked over, took out a piece of broken silver, and put it in her hand.
He never missed a beggar, and even if he only had this piece of silver left, he would give it to others without any consideration.
Yan Qi looked at it, with a look of approval in his gentle eyes.
She was also clearly proud to have such a husband.
The woman muttered words of gratitude, and was about to carry the silver in her arms, when she raised her head intentionally or unintentionally and glanced at Guo Dalu.
Immediately, there was a terrible change in her pale and haggard face that could not be described.
Her bloodshot eyes bulged out like a dead fish, as if a knife had suddenly plunged into her heart.
Guo Dalu was still smiling, but his smile gradually froze, and his face showed a shocked expression, and he lost his voice: "It's you?"
The woman immediately covered her face with her hands and cried out, "Go, I don't recognize you." ”
Guo Dalu's expression changed from horror to pity, and he sighed: "How did you become like this?"
The woman said, "That's my business, it's none of your business." ”
Although she tried to barely control herself, her whole body trembled like candlelight in the wind.
Guo Dalu's eyes fell to the two children who were not fully dressed and had snotty faces, and asked gloomily, "Is this what you gave birth to him?
The woman trembled, and finally couldn't help crying loudly, hiding her face and crying bitterly: "He deceived me, cheated me out of my private money, and ran away with other women, but left these two evil seeds to me, why am I so miserable...... Why?"
No one could answer for her, only herself.
Couldn't this miserable encounter of her be found by herself?
Guo Dalu sighed, not knowing what to say.
Yan Qi walked over slowly, shook his hand wordlessly, and let him know that no matter what happened, she was on his side and always trusted him equally.
What can a woman give a man more than this trust and understanding that a man is grateful for?
Guo Dalu was suspicious and said, "You already know who she is?"
Yan Qi nodded.
Women seem to be born with a wonderfully sharp sixth sense for the man they love.
She had already sensed that there was an unusual relationship between this woman and her husband, and there was no doubt about what they had to say.
This woman is obviously the woman who deceived Guo Dalu and abandoned him before.
Guo Dalu let out a long sigh and said, "I really didn't expect to see her here, let alone become like this." ”
Yan Qi said softly: "Since she is your friend, you should try your best to help her." ”
The woman suddenly stopped crying, raised her head, glared at her, and said, "Who are you?"
Yan Qi's gaze was soft and calm, and he said, "I am his wife." ”
There was a strange change on the woman's face, she turned her head to stare at Guo Dalu, and said in surprise: "You have become a relative?"
Guo Dalu said: "Yes. ”
The woman looked at him, then at Yan Qi, and suddenly showed a vicious jealousy in her eyes, and suddenly grabbed Guo Dalu's clothes, and said loudly: "You were going to marry me, how can you marry someone else?"
Guo Dalu didn't move, his face was as pale as paper, and he really didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Yan Qi held his hand tighter, staring at the woman: "It's you who left him, it's not that he doesn't want you, you should remember the past yourself." ”
The woman's eyes were even more vicious, and she smiled wickedly, "What do I remember? I only remember that he once told me that he would always like me alone, and that he would never marry another woman but me." ”
She looked like she was about to cry again, twitched the corners of her mouth, and said loudly: "But he lied to me, a hard-working woman, all of you to judge ......"
There were already people on the road, looking at Guo Dalu with contempt and hatred.
Guo Dalu's pale face had turned red again, and even beads of sweat had come out.
But Yan Qi's expression was still very calm, and he said slowly: "He didn't lie to you, he never lied to you, it's a pity that you are no longer the person you used to be, you should understand yourself." ”
The woman screamed and jumped, "I don't understand anything, I don't want to live...... Even if I die, I will die with this ruthless man. ”
She crashed headlong into Guo Dalu, lying on the ground, refusing to get up again.
When I met this kind of woman who was sprinkled, no one could do anything.
Guo Dalu didn't know what to do, so he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down.
Yan Qi groaned, suddenly took out a gold chain from his body, handed it to the woman, and said, "Do you recognize what this is?"
The woman stared and was stunned for a long time before she said loudly, "Of course I recognize it, this is also mine." ”
Yan Qi said: "So I'll give it back to you now." I just want you to know that in order to save this golden chain, he did not hesitate to starve and scold, and even to be laughed at by his friends - what is he doing this for, you should also think of it. ”
The woman looked at the golden chain, and the resentment in her eyes gradually turned to shame.
She's also a human being after all.
People always have some humanity to a greater or lesser extent.
Yan Qidao: "If you change this gold chain, you can already do a good job of doing a small business and raising your children well." In the future, you will definitely meet good men again, as long as you don't cheat others, others won't cheat you. ”
The woman's body began to tremble again, and she turned her head to look at her child.
The child's face was full of horror, and he pouted and wanted to cry, but he was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry.
Yan Qi said softly: "Don't forget that you are already a mother, you should think about your child, he will grow up in the future, you should make him feel proud to have a mother like you." ”
The woman trembled, and suddenly fell to the ground and began to weep bitterly, "God...... God, why do you want me to see him again...... Why?"
No one could answer this question for her, only herself.
The kind of seed you plant will surely reap what kind of harvest.
If you plant gravel, you should never expect it to bloom beautifully.
******
Twilight.
The sunset has turned from brilliant to calm.
Guo Dalu walked slowly on the road, and his mood was obviously as heavy as his face.
Yan Qi didn't speak, didn't bother him.
She knows that everyone has a time when he needs to be alone, and this is what a woman who is a wife needs to know the most.
I don't know how long it took before Guo Dalu said in a deep voice: "When did you redeem the gold chain? Why didn't you tell me?"
Yan Qi smiled and said, "Because I didn't redeem it at all." ”
Guo Dalu said: "You don't have it?"
Yan Qi said: "The gold chain I gave her just now is not your one at all. ”
Guo Dalu was stunned and said, "Isn't it?"
Yan Qi smiled and said, "That was a congratulatory gift from Sister Meilan to me in private. ”
Guo Dalu said: "Then why did you take it out, why did you do it?"
Yan Qi smiled: "Because I am also a woman, I always know more about women than you. ”
Guo Dalu said: "Are you saying that when she sees this gold chain, she will remember that I used to be good to her, so she is willing to let me go?"
Yan Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "The gold chains look almost the same, even you can't tell the difference, let alone her." ”
She smiled happily.
Because this gold chain is just a symbol, a symbol of the past.
Now that they could not even distinguish the golden chain, they had apparently forgotten all their old feelings and resentments.
No matter how generous a woman is, she doesn't want her husband to hide the past in her heart.
Guo Dalu said: "But when you see me, you should have remembered the previous ......."
Yan Qi interrupted her words and said, "She treated you like that, not because of the past, but because of jealousy. ”
Guo Dalu said: "Jealousy?"
Yan Qidao: "It's not that I'm jealous of you, it's that I'm jealous." Looking at her own days, and then at us, she regrets even more why she did that before. ”
She sighed and continued: "When a person regrets himself, he often inexplicably holds a grudge against others, wishing that people all over the world are as miserable as her. ”
Guo Dalu sighed: "So she wants to destroy us." ”
Yan Qi said: "She hates you, but because she knows that she will never be able to get you again." ”
Guo Dalu said: "But when she saw the gold chain, why did it suddenly change again?"
Yan Qi said: "Because the gold chain is different from you." ”
She smiled and continued, "Not only is the gold chain more beautiful than you, but she knows that she will definitely get it." ”
Guo Dalu said: "Is it because the gold chain is already in her hands!"
Yan Qi said: "That's right." ”
It is true that only women understand women in the world.
A woman has always believed only in what she has in her hands, and even if she knows that there are still a hundred gold chains to take, she will never exchange them for them.
There are also few women who are willing to give their gold chains to their husbands' former lovers.
Only the wisest women would do that.
With only a gold chain, she has earned her husband's trust and gratitude to her, as well as her own lifelong happiness.
Guo Dalu stared at his wife, couldn't help it, held her little hand, and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Yan Qi blinked and said with a smile: "Thank you?...... Thank you for that gold chain?"
Guo Dalu shook his head and said, "You should know what I am thanking for?"
Yan Qi did know.
Of course, what he was grateful for was not a gold chain, but her understanding and consideration.
That's far more precious than all the gold chains combined.
A wife who knows how to understand and be considerate is always a man's greatest happiness and wealth.
And only the luckiest men will always get it.
