Four, three, five, two phases (II)
The air immediately filled the air with a moist smell, and she sniffed lightly and tilted her head: "You weren't like that before. I thought you would at least ask how I've been doing all these years. β
"Why bother asking about what you already know?"
Unexpectedly, a light sentence actually aroused a surging tide of tears. Feng Yi held her head high, but she couldn't stop the tears from dripping no matter what. She finally hid her face and couldn't stop crying.
Chu Tao seemed to be unbearable, and said babblingly: "I know, Feng Yi." You've suffered these days. I will double my begging for them to come back. The rumors will subside, don't hurt yourself, Tianqiao sent me a letter to inquire about your news, very concerned - he also counted on his brother and sister-in-law to go back to take charge. Everything is fine with the Qi family and the Leng family. Qi Heng will also come back - if he is really buried at the hands of the white-clothed holy envoy, they will definitely celebrate it in a big way, lest the world will not know. Since he is alive, he will surely come to you. β
Unexpectedly, as soon as Qi Heng was mentioned, Feng Yi immediately covered her face with blue frost, and said harshly: "He has this face?
"I think he's an infatuated person......
Feng Yi sneered: "An infatuated person will ignore his wife and run away in a hurry? β
Chu Tao was speechless for a while, waiting for her to continue.
"I will always remember the way he rolled and crawled, it was ridiculous. What's even more ridiculous is that the white-clothed holy envoy besieged me, and Li Luo held me hostage with his sword, saying, leave me behind, and don't kill him. That guy actually left me in the carriage, threw me under Li Luo's sword, cut the noose with an axe, and fled on his horse, not even daring to look back. She raised her brow coldly, and tears poured down her face, "They laughed like a pack of devils...... I kept calling him...... He Qi Heng only remembered the reins in his hand!Can you gloat, I, Leng Fengyi, am married to this kind of wreck!"
The thick palm suddenly blocked her mouth. Chu Tao didn't allow her to say any more, since it was such a huge pain, why bother to expose the scar again, and it hurt more? He seemed to finally understand the pain and hatred in her heart: how could she be as arrogant as Leng Fengyi, how could she be humiliated so badly!
"Chu, I really want to die a hundred. But while they tortured me, they said they wanted to keep me alive...... I just had to close my eyes to hear their rampant laughter. They called me an outcast who was not as good as a prostitute...... Even if he kills me, it is better than leaving me to Li Luo...... This is nothing compared to the pain on my body......"
"Don't say it. Don't think about it, it's all gone. He caressed her shoulders and stroked her long soft hair, wiping away her tears, but she was even more tearful and wet.
"I can't get by," she cried, "I've lost my relatives, I've lost my husband, I've lost myself." It's like a nightmare that I can't wake up, and when I close my eyes, it's a hideous face like a tide, and the pain in my body. I hear your voice, but I can't find you anywhere...... Clear...... I've never regretted it that much...... Qi Heng, how can he do it!"
The most painful gate in my heart was lifted, only to the former confidant, and all the grievances were immediately unstoppable. She gripped his arm, the only one she could grasp, like clutching to a life-saving driftwood in a drowning situation. Who would have thought that the thought of letting go would be like a joke after many years, but it would become a thorn in her heart that could not be pulled out, making her hurt more and more. In the tears, she hugged him tightly and whispered: "Chu, just for a while, let me cry for a while." Don't let go, please. β
The problem was thrown to Chu Tao. He couldn't speak, but he couldn't do more for her. He didn't let go, but he just didn't. The companionship of sitting in a long night is tasteless.
"Let me stay at Blackstone Cliffs, even if I don't do anything. Didn't you ever want me to stay?"
The conversation went back to the beginning.
Chu Tao sighed meaningfully: "Without Chu Tao's Black Stone Cliff, I don't think you would be willing to stay." It's too late, Feng Yi. β
Feng Yi was startled, looking at Chu Tao's indifferent expression, even more confused.
Chu Tao's voice was slow, I don't know if it was because he was trying to think of excuses, or because there were too many extraneous voices in his words: "I couldn't keep it back then, I can't keep it today, the sin is all on me." You don't have to hurt yourself. For you, I can still prevaricate between the two, but I am already responsible for this life. I'm sorry, Fengyi, I can't punish another woman for my sinsβshe was innocently involved, but I hurt her too deeply. β
Feng Yi suddenly, jealousy burned in her eyes, and she smiled and said, "You are in love with her!"
Chu Tao remained silent.
She giggled and sneered: "A woman who has no knowledge of martial arts, a village woman who knows some flowers and plants all day long, will you Chu Tao take a fancy to her? What does she match with you?
Chu Tao closed his eyes tightly and said, "She is my wife." He was no longer angry, but his voice was heavier and more majestic.
She seemed to understand, and because of this, she was unwilling, and then chattered: "You don't love her, you didn't love her at all at that time! Now, now you only have rivers and lakes in your heart! What are you doing to marry her? What qualifications does she have to stand by Chu Tao's side?"
Chu Tao replied loudly: "What do you have to do with you? Since you are married to the authority of the Qi family, why do you care who Chu Tao has in my heart!"
Feng Yi's face was flushed with refuge, and she collapsed on the bed in a daze. As if pierced by an arrow, she suddenly lost the strength to speak, and only stared at him with empty eyes.
"Feng Yi, I can only help you recuperate. For the rest, please forgive Chu Tao for not being able to do anything. Chu Tao also seemed to be ignited by the anger that was constantly provoked. The dim oil lamp reflected his withered shadow, which was extremely cold: "Let's stop here." It's better not to see than to be angry. There is no need to worry about the old things, and the road ahead is cherished and self-sufficient. β
Nothing can be recovered, the moment Chu Tao pushed the door open, the oil lamp in the room was blown on by the wind for a moment, and then sank into darkness.
Leng Fengyi lifted the medicine bowl next to the bed and slammed it towards the door. Bang, scarred in vain. Then she shrunk down on the couch and cried loudly on her only knees she could hold. Eternal night encroached on her world, taking away all the colors, and she was like dust in the wind, dissipating her entire consciousness.
Willing to gamble and lose, she secretly admonished herself. Leng Fengyi, now it's up to you.
Chu Tao didn't leave immediately. The cold moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and he stood silently in front of the house, looking up and closing his eyes. It seems that he wants the moonlight to freeze his heart. The chic and calm in front of the person, only an empty body remains.
Zhao Lin looked at his extremely tired figure, and apologized slightly: "I knew this was the case, it was better not to invite you to come." β
Chu Tao shook his head sadly: "I can't help her more, even I don't know where to go." β
Zhaolin was really distressed: "You've done enough. β
"Love is love, everything is matter. Do me a favor. In a few days, when her health is better, I will arrange a boat and ask you to send her back north. There is really no second person on the south bank who can speak calmly with the Qi family. The healer is benevolent, and I can only entrust her to you. When Leng Fengyi left the south bank, it was the day of the meeting of the wind and clouds on the long river. Please escort her in person until you meet Cheng Yunhe. Others, Feng Yi may not be willing to see. The cool breeze gave birth to a dry cough, and he tightened his face, as if to hide the pain.
Shine in a bit of a trance. I didn't expect Chu Tao to still treat her with such thoughtful kindness.
"Don't worry about Shiyu, she will wait for you on the south bank. He calmly stared at the moonlight, looking at something from afar. "I don't want to talk to Leng Fengyi about anything. I'm afraid she'll get into trouble again. β
When the words fell, there was a sudden slight strange sound in the courtyard, which made Chu Tao's expression suddenly solemn: "Are there any suspicious people around these days?"
"It's the same every day, it's quiet, there's not a lot of people. β
In the darkness of the night, a jackdaw flew noisily into the sky. Chu Tao's eyebrows stretched slightly. "You should also be careful when you enter and leave this place to prevent others from following you. β
"What's wrong? Didn't you say it's safe here?"
"This time and that time. Just a little worried. Come, they have come, out of sight of you. This group of people will definitely not let her go easily. β
"What should I do?" Li Zhaolin tensed.
"Take care of her and get her back to life as soon as possible. I'll try to get in touch with the right boat. β
"Don't all the boats at the dock listen to you?" thought it would be easy.
Chu Tao replied to him meaningfully: "At this time, everything is difficult to tell. β
"Good. Zhao Lin agreed, but sighed again.
"If you have something to say, just say it. β
"It's a pity! If there is no Jiang Shaoyun, there is no such hard-to-heal injury, and there is no lady...... Will...... Everything is easier?"
Chu Tao laughed back at him: "Without Chu Tao, without the south bank, and without this long river, she is still her-for the road she wants to take, she will not hesitate to break her bones." β
"Same as you. "Follow the way.
Chu Tao was taken aback, looked back at him, but avoided his gaze and flew on the horse: "Don't think about it, she will be fine." The North Shore can't do without her. In a few days, he will mock everyone again with a look of contempt for the world. One day, there will be no more Chu Tao in the world, and she will forget me. β
"And what about you?" Li Zhaolin would never believe his pretense of being light. He can bear the monstrous waves of all parties for Leng Fengyi, is it just to be silent?
"When there is no more Chu Tao in the world, I don't know how to feel heartache. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, whipped his horsewhip, and galloped out.
Li Zhaolin silently watched the distant wind control, and gradually understood that the gap between these two hearts had long been unbridgeable. Just like the deep grievances on both sides of the strait, in the mutual gaze and calculation, they broke deeper and deeper, until they cracked into the deepest wound in the bottom of their hearts and were buried by graves one after another.
But why, the wound in the bottom of my heart is still flowing with the blood of infatuation?
