Chapter 11 Untying the Knot

Late at night, the sky is full of twinkling stars, cloudless, half a crescent moon lazily hanging in the sky, looking up, as if another lively world, the moonlight is sprinkled on the ground, making people can't tell whether it is light or snow.

Lin Yuanqing stood quietly in front of Zhao Youcai's tombstone, the tombstone read "Tomb of Righteous Brother Zhao Youcai", Lin Yuanqing stood in front of the tomb like a stone monument, looking at the tombstone quietly.

After a long time, he slowly took out two bowls and put them in front of the tablet, poured them full of wine, picked up a bowl of wine, touched it lightly with the other, and said softly: "Brother Zhao, I came to see you." "Raise your head and drink it all.

He sat down slowly, poured the wine again, picked it up, and said, "Brother Zhao, there is something you don't know, in fact, I don't like to drink, it's astringent and spicy. After saying that, he drank the wine in the bowl again, wiped his mouth, and said, "But you know, every time I drink with you, I am very happy, and the wine becomes better, and I don't know why." “

Lin Yuanqing kept pouring and drinking, and kept saying: "I remember when I was a child, Sun Dabao bullied me and robbed me of my wooden sword, my grandfather didn't want to argue with others, comforted me and said to make me another one, but after you knew it, you took me to Sun Dabao's house to theorize and snatched the wooden sword back for me, I admired you very much at the time, and I hope to grow up like you." “

When he said this, he paused, sniffed hard, and said: "Do you know, Tao Tao was also bullied a few days ago, and I went to the child who bullied Tao Tao like you, but I touched a gray nose, if I hadn't met Lord Chen, others would have thought that I had bullied his child, or Brother Zhao, you are amazing." “

He lowered his head and said, "Brother Zhao, do you remember that I told you that I wanted to worship martial arts people as teachers and learn arts? I said that I did it, it turns out that our Hong Wuchang is a member of the Tang Sect, and he taught me the martial arts of the Tang Sect, you wait a minute, I will play a trick for you." After Lin Yuanqing finished speaking, he took out the short knife and swung it over and over again, but the speed was getting slower and slower, slower and slower, and then the short knife took off his hand and inserted it straight into the ground, he maintained the posture when the knife was taken off and stood firmly, and after a while, he said: "Brother Zhao, I was favored by General Chen, he recruited me to be his personal soldier, but I was majestic... “

He just stood like this, but there were water droplets on the ground in front of him, and the wet ground slowly spread outward, and finally, he couldn't help it, and knelt down in front of Zhao Youcai's grave, at this moment he was in tears, and said in a choked voice: "Brother Zhao, I'm sorry for you!" He wiped his tears vigorously, but he couldn't stop it at all, "Brother Zhao!" Tao Tao she knows about you, and she also knows that I hurt you, she doesn't want to see me now, I think she hates me very much, if it weren't for me, if I didn't have to pull you into the army, if it wasn't for me, if I had to rush to the front, if it wasn't for me... If it weren't for me ... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have died, Brother Zhao, I'm sorry for you!"

"Brother Zhao! I miss you so much! But I don't dare to come to see you! I'm afraid to face all this, I'm afraid that I will think that all this is because of me!" Lin Yuanqing said that the more his emotions became out of control, he crawled forward with his hands and feet, climbed to the tombstone, and knocked his head against the tombstone hard, "But I really miss you so much, I want to wait until the day I get ahead to come to see you, but I find that the more I escape, the more uncomfortable I become, Tao Tao she is sick, I am frightened, I am afraid that if Tao Tao she also goes, how can I compensate you!"

"Brother Zhao, I will live well, together with your share, I will take good care of Tao Tao, even if she ignores me for the rest of her life, I will always be by her side, and I will often come to see you, if you know from the spring, give me your dreams, beat me and scold me, I will not run away anymore!"

Lin Yuanqing hugged the tombstone and cried like this, until he had no strength to cry, fell asleep groggy, and kept muttering: "Brother Zhao, I won't run away!

He had a dream in which he was standing on the endless grass, and suddenly a familiar voice sounded behind him, "Yuan Qing." He hurriedly looked back, it was Zhao Youcai who called him, he jumped up excitedly and wanted to hug Zhao Youcai, but he pounced.

Zhao Youcai said to him with a smile: "Yuan Qing, I heard everything you said just now, don't blame yourself, everyone has their own life, you are a good boy, I don't regret making such a choice, you have to live well, along with my share." “

"Brother Zhao, can you not go, I really won't run away anymore, I really miss you so much!" Lin Yuanqing cried.

"Silly boy, I'm dead, you still miss it so much? As long as you are good to Tao Tao, I will rest assured, the man doesn't flick when he has tears, it's not good for you to cry like this." “

"I won't, I promise. Lin Yuanqing tried his best to restrain the tears in his eyes, but the snot flowed down the corners of his mouth.

"Uh... What a young man, and it's so worrying, really. Zhao Youcai wiped his face for him and said: "Yuan Qing, you Brother Zhao and I haven't studied for a few years, but the eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, this truth is still remembered, you have to remember, no matter what, you can't be a bad person." “

Lin Yuanqing nodded vigorously.

Zhao Youcai looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It's time, it's time for me to go, you also take care of yourself, if you don't treat Tao Tao well, I'll come out to find you at night." ”

Lin Yuanqing wiped his tears, smiled, and said, "Brother Zhao, don't worry!"

Zhao Youcai nodded, touched Lin Yuanqing's head again, and slowly disappeared.

There was a sudden breeze in the cemetery, and when it blew past Lin Yuanqing, the messy hair in front of his forehead was gently lifted, as if someone had helped him tidy up his hair, and he also raised the corners of his mouth slightly in his sleep.

The next day, Lin Yuanqing covered his neck, held his waist, and limped into Chu Yunfan's yard, Chu Wan couldn't help laughing when she saw his shape, and asked him what was wrong.

Lin Yuanqing said with a sad face: "I slept on the mountain last night, and I woke up in the morning. ”

Chu Wan glanced at it and said: "It is easy to get windy in the mountains at night, and you have been blown by the wind at the tuyere for a night, but you can't do this, how adult, don't pay attention at all." ”

Lin Yuanqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, remembered what Zhao Youcai said in his dream yesterday, and smiled unconsciously, Chu Wan stared at his face for a while and said, "What happened last night? I feel like you've changed a little." ”

"Hmm, I've changed a bit, how do you say it?" Lin Yuanqing asked suspiciously.

Chu Wan thought for a moment and said, "In the past, you gave people a cautious and cautious feeling, a little gloomy, but now I see that you feel cheerful, and your face is much more confident." ”

Lin Yuanqing raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes were full of determination, and he said softly: "Because, I made an agreement with others. ”
