black pupil

Chapter 16

An Songyue was forcibly taken to Lingyin Mountain by Gu Qingquan that day, and fell ill when he returned to Changhen Mountain.

He was dizzy from burning, dreams came one after another, sometimes it was the burning cherry blossoms all over the mountains and plains in Lingyin Mountain, sometimes it was the sea of ​​flames that burned half the sky that day, sometimes it was the gentle smile of his mother, and sometimes it was the door that closed rumblingly in front of him. fan bookshelf.

In a daze, he heard someone calling him "Songyue", like his mother, but also like Qingquan.

There is only one thought in his mind, he wants to live, Anshi needs him, Qingquan needs him, and the ghosts of his father and mother also need him.

He burned for three days and recovered from his serious illness.

***

When Song Yan and Shen Zui saw An Songyue again, they found that he had lost weight, very thin.

There was no trace of excess flesh on the slightly rounded cheeks, and the cheeks were even a little sunken.A white damask covered her eyes, her thin lips were tightly pursed.Gu Qingquan held his hand tightly.

His hair was combed meticulously, he was still wearing a white jade crown, and he was still wearing a blue shirt embroidered with dark silver patterns, but his figure was much thinner, making his figure even more straight and loose.

Shen Zui hugged him, patted his shoulder, and said "Just come back".

An Songyue smiled, and said: "Brother Shen, Brother Song, I haven't seen you for a few days, everything is fine? I haven't asked you how Ling-jun is doing now?"

Song Yan saw that although he was so thin that he was about to lose his appearance, he was not at all haggard, let alone decadent, so he felt relieved.He is well aware of the impermanence of the world, life is always going through ups and downs, and he has seen too many people who have been slapped by life and then collapsed. Seeing An Songyue suffering from such a catastrophe, but still struggling to stand up, he is more persevering than Xiuzhu , I admire very much.

Several people walked and chatted all the way.Hearing that Lord Ling had died and Bai Yin had died for love, An Songyue could only sigh "Fate makes people", to Song Yan and Shen Zui's ears, it was indeed a different feeling.

Zhong Ming saw them entering the door, patted An Songyue on the shoulder, and said "Good boy".

He took off the white silk covering An Songyue's eyes, examined his eyes carefully, and sighed softly, inaudibly.

An Songyue had already heard it.

After he lost his eyesight, his hearing became better and better. When he heard Zhong Ming sigh, he knew that his eyes might not be able to see the sky again, but he didn't see him sad, and he said calmly: "Senior, if you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Zhong Ming hesitated for a moment, and said: "This poisonous miasma is produced in Japan, and it's called 'Darkness without the Sun'. It is specially designed to poison the eyes. Then the eye mask will turn blue, and after a long time, it will enter the inside of the eyeball, and even poison the blood vessels and nerves connected to the eyeball."

Gu Qingquan was anxious, and said: "Where is his poison now? What medicine can be used to cure it?"

Zhong Ming shook his head and said, "Although the blood vessels and nerves haven't been affected yet, the entire eyeball is poisoned, and the medicine may be useless."

An Songyue felt that Gu Qingquan's hand holding him was cold, so he covered the other hand, patted the back of her hand, and comforted her: "Life and death, there is no other way. My life was picked for nothing, God has treated me well."

Zhong Ming moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and did not speak.

An Songyue continued: "Thank you Senior Zhong, thank you Brother Shen and Brother Song."

He knew that Gu Qingquan was sad, so he smiled and said to her: "Didn't you always want to come to Beiming to play? Let's come here this time, just to go around Beiming and see Luohe. I heard that There are always people putting up lanterns in the Luohe River, and it should be very beautiful at night."

Gu Qingquan leaned on his shoulder, did not speak, tears rolled in his eyes a few times, and finally did not fall.

Shen Zui patted An Songyue on the shoulder, and said: "Anyway, we are here, don't rush away. It must have been very hard for you to come all the way, I told Wan Xi to prepare the room, you rest first, let's go to the Luo River for a drink at night Listen to the music."

Saying that, she called Wan Xi to come in, and led An Songyue and Gu Qingquan to the room.

When they went out, Song Yan asked: "Senior was hesitant to speak just now, but what's wrong with Songyue's condition?"

Zhong Ming shook his head and said: "That's not true. I just wanted to say that his eye is not impossible to treat if you want to treat it."

Shen Zui: "Uncle, why didn't you say that just now!"

Zhong Ming was taken aback by him: "You little bastard, why do you talk to uncle every day! Did I not say it on purpose? His eyes really don't need medicine. If you want to do it better, you have to change other people's eyes. It's the eyes of a living person, how can I say that!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a purple figure almost staggering towards him.

Gu Qingquan walked on the road and found that one of the earrings was missing. He didn't bother to look for it at first, but after thinking about it, An Songyue gave her the pair of earrings, so he was a little reluctant, and asked An Songyue and Wanxi to wait for her, and she went back to find the earrings .When she walked to the door, she heard Zhong Ming say, "If you want to do well, you have to change other people's eyes." She was so ecstatic that she couldn't walk steadily.

Zhong Ming was startled by his nephew just now, and was startled by Gu Qingquan again, he stroked his chest and sighed: "Why are the brats so irritable now, my old bones will be scared to death sooner or later."

Gu Qingquan hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, senior, you just said that Songyue's eyes can be changed, is that true?"

"True, why not true, I, Zhong Ming, never tell lies."

Gu Qingquan was so excited that he could barely speak clearly: "I'll give it to him, senior, I'll give it to him!"

Zhong Ming shook his head: "I dare not give him your eyes. I think that child regards you as a treasure. If I gouged out your eyes, he would probably take my skin off."

Gu Qingquan knelt down directly.

She was raised by Gu Yin since she was a child. Except for the ancestors of the Gu family, she had never kneeled before anyone else. This kneeling startled the three people around her.

Zhong Ming hastily went to help her, she was not willing to get up.

Song Yan couldn't bear it, and said, "What if we only change one eye? Is it feasible?"

Zhong Ming sighed: "Yes, yes, but I haven't changed the eyes of a living person for a long time. After all, no one is willing to change their own eyes to others. My hand is born, it is hard to say whether it can be changed, and even if it is good Now, this eye is also a foreign object to Songyue's body, if his body rejects this eyeball, it will rot in a few days, so why bother you little girl."

Shen Zui asked: "How sure is Uncle?"

Zhong Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "About [-]%."

Gu Qingquan tugged at the hem of Zhong Ming's clothes, and said: "Thirty percent is thirty percent, even if there is one thousandth chance, I will always give it a try. Senior, please!"

Zhong Ming simply didn't know what to do, seeing that Gu Qingquan was really persistent, he could only say: "You guys are all so stupid, that's all, I'll give it a try."

Seeing that he agreed, Gu Qingquan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, senior!"

Thinking that this matter must be hidden from An Songyue, he said again: "Before I changed my mind, I asked my senior to hide Songyue's knowledge for me. I'm afraid he won't."

Zhong Ming sighed and agreed.

***

An Songyue had waited for a long time for Gu Qingquan to come back, and just about to look for it, he heard Gu Qingquan approach him with a cheerful tone: "Songyue, we are saved, Senior Zhong said your eyes are still saved!"

An Songyue became suspicious, and said: "Didn't the senior just say that my entire eyeball is poisoned, and there is no medicine to cure it?"

Gu Qingquan was at a loss for words for a while, and immediately said: "Although the medicine is useless, you can use a knife to cut off the rotten place and connect the broken tendons. Senior didn't say it just because he was only [-]% sure. Not good, the eyes don’t even look like they are now, there are only two black holes left. Songyue, are you afraid?”

An Songyue was overjoyed: "Of course I'm not afraid. The eyes can't see anything, so what's the use of looking wholesome? Thirty percent sure, that's pretty big."

Gu Qingquan nodded: "I think so too. Senior just wrote a prescription, let's take medicine for a few days to recuperate, and we can operate in seven days."

An Songyue thought that there was no hope for his eyes to recover, but suddenly he heard that there was hope for salvation. Although he was only [-]% sure, he was overjoyed, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.

Gu Qingquan began to take care of his diet and daily life, decocted medicine for him every day, watched him drink it, and then fed him a candied fruit.

Song Yan saw it in his eyes, and felt sweet and sour in his heart, which was very unpleasant.

What made him even more uncomfortable was intoxication.

Ever since Second Master Shen heard that Song Yan had a sweetheart outside the mountain gate, he seemed to have become an old lady who sat at the entrance of the village after dinner and chatted non-stop with the parents. Which girl is the "sweetheart" in his mouth?

Qing Yang didn't know what kind of demon his young master had possessed.She felt that even if his own brother got married, he would at most say "Oh, congratulations", and then ask someone to back him up.Whether his sister-in-law is tall, short, fat, thin, ugly, or beautiful, he probably has no interest in knowing.Why did he get to Mr. Song's place, so he couldn't let him go.

She really couldn't understand her son more and more.

Song Yan got impatient with being tormented by him, and wanted to blurt out every time: It's you, it's you!The person I like is you, and the person I want is also you!

When the words came to his lips, he choked back.

He knew that Shen Zui regarded him as a brother, and even tried to recognize himself as a righteous brother, and knew that his concern for him was only from the standpoint of an older brother.After all, I once asked him insinuatingly what he thought of the story in Hanshan Temple.

He still remembered Shen Zui's answer to him at the time: the story is too bitter, but after all, it's somewhat indecent for a man to be with a man.

The four words "indecent" later became the source of his countless nightmares at night. More than once, he dreamed that Shen Zui pointed at his nose and scolded him: "Indecent!"

He didn't dare to speak, he was afraid that in the end they wouldn't even be brothers.

If he hadn't asked for medicine for his junior brother, he would have been intoxicated for the rest of his life.

Now that this person has set fire to other people's hearts, he seems to be fine. Sitting and watching a play is not counted, and he thinks the fire is not burning enough, so he can come to add a handful of firewood at any time.

Song Yan was very tired.

The author has something to say:

What does Mr. Shen think of men falling in love with men?

Indecent, immoral, the world is going downhill, it's unbearable...

a few months later...

Well, it’s so sweet!
