Flowers bloom and wither, seas and seas reincarnate, how many mortals have gone through the vicissitudes of life, and how many true and false have passed away.
Five years later
Indus Town
This is a remote town far away from the capital of the imperial dynasty. Although the town is small, it has indescribable prosperity and happiness. The roads are lined with paved land and there are many shops.
It was midsummer, and the sun was high in the sky, but Wutong Town was full of lush greenery.
In the crowd, a man stopped the passing pedestrians one by one, carefully gesticulating with his hands, as if he was looking for someone.
I saw the man dressed in white, with a high nose, thin lips, heroic sword eyebrows slanted into the scattered hair at the temples, his appearance was magnificent, but the brows were much haggard, the man seemed to be unwell, Always cover your lips and cough lightly.
"Master, it's hot weather, you'd better go back to the inn to rest, the servant can just look for it here, your body is important."
"No problem, I must find him myself."
This man is Fang Wenqing. Five years ago, at the bottom of the peak, he indeed found a pile of horrible bones, Liu Yiran's clothes, and the broken jade flute. Fang Wenqing specially found that jade flute. He ordered people to make it for him, and engraved the word Yi on the body of the flute. When he saw the flute that could only be said to be fragments, he believed for a moment that it was Liu Yiran, but that was only for a moment. I believed that Liu Yiran would leave just then, and later he personally went to the place where the bones were found. Although the man concealed it very well, he still found something suspicious.Perhaps God was also helping him, and actually let him get the news about Liu Yiran.
"Master, do you think Mr. Liu is not here in Wutong Town? We have been looking for this town for so many days, but we haven't seen a single figure like him."
Fang Wenqing secretly clenched his fists, looked at the crowd, and replied with a sad smile for a long time
"He wanted to hide from me, how could he let me find it so easily."
"It's been five years. I've been looking for you for five years. Since you still refuse to forgive me, let me find you in the ends of the earth. As long as I'm alive, as long as I'm alive, five years, ten years, 20 years, no matter how long, I will definitely find you."
......
It was noon now, and there was an endless stream of people coming and going in the inn and restaurant. Among them, the restaurant with the three golden plaques of Zuixiangju hanging high had the most guests, and the aroma of wine was overflowing and intoxicating.
Suddenly a figure peeked out from the curtains of the private room on the second floor, and that person greeted a man downstairs who was about to enter from a distance.
"Doctor Liu"
Maybe the person downstairs didn't hear it, so the person called out again
"Liu Yi, what about this?"
The people downstairs heard that they were calling themselves, stopped and looked up at the sound, and when they saw clearly who was calling themselves, they shouted with a smile
"up right away"
Fang Wenqing was upset at the moment, he looked up inadvertently, when he saw the tall and thin figure standing at the door of Zuixiangju, he was slightly dazed and hastily looked at it, his fiery eyes stayed on the coarse white clothed figure for a long time. Just the back view of the man made Fang Wenqing's heartbeat speed up for no reason, and he was so excited. The corners of his eyes were reddish, and he softly called "Yiran" in ecstasy, and quickly pushed aside the crowd and ran towards the figure. Quickly ran to the back of that person, reached out and pulled his sleeve, "Yiran, I finally..."
His voice was choked with sobs, full of caution.
The man didn't hear his words and was about to enter the door. It might as well be pulled off his sleeves, and turned around to look at the person in doubt.
When he turned around and saw his face clearly, Fang Wenqing opened his mouth wide in surprise, and swallowed back the words he was about to blurt later. His face was pale and embarrassed, and he stared for a long time before murmuring, "I'm sorry. "The eyes are unabashedly disappointed and desolate.
He let go of his hand weakly, turned around sadly and walked towards the crowd, his blood was surging, and he coughed up before he could suppress it in time, Xiao Dezi who was following him hurriedly took out a handkerchief to him, and said in a worried voice
"Master, why are you coughing up blood again?"
Fang Wenqing took the handkerchief and wiped away the blood on the corners of his lips, and replied calmly, "It's all right."
Then he squinted at the person who had disappeared, retracted his gaze, and left Shi Shiran. Why is that figure so similar?
The man named Liu Yi entered the door of Zuixiangju, but he didn't go directly to the second floor. Instead, he stood by the door, looked at the back of the man who was gradually moving away, stretched out his hand, stroked his face, and smiled mockingly. , walked towards the second floor with heavy steps.
Arriving at the agreed room, Liu Yi straightened out his thoughts, smiled heartily, and cupped his hands apologetically.
"Keep Catcher Li waiting for a long time"
Li Butou shook his head and asked him to sit down, and replied:
"Dr. Liu is out"
Liu Yi flipped up his robe and sat down, asking
"How is your mother recently?"
After hearing the words, Catcher Li replied gratefully, "I'm sorry to trouble Dr. Liu, Dr. Liu is really rejuvenating. My mother's illness has not been cured for decades. I didn't expect that Dr. Liu will be cured in less than half a year." Well, I'm a rough person, and I don't know how to repay you, I'll take care of the meal today, Dr. Liu wants to eat and drink, just ask, don't be polite to me."
This Li catcher's real name is Li Dadao. He has practiced sword skills since he was a child, so he found a job as a fast catcher in the yamen of Wutong Town. It's not bad, but his old mother has always been a heart problem for him. He asked all the famous doctors and spent all the old people in the family, but he couldn't see the good or bad. In the end, he was allowed to come to Wutong Town for more than half a year. Dr. Liu was cured.
Liu Yi knew that he was a bull-tempered man, and he said what he said when he did things. Moreover, the two of them had met many times and had a deep friendship, so it was not easy to mislead him, so he replied with a smile.
"Li Butou's intention is to get it down, but it's just not an example."
Liu Yi called Xiaoer to pick up some cheap home-cooked dishes and ordered a pot of wine, then Li Butou gave him an apologetic look and lowered his head in embarrassment.
Liu Yi knew what he was thinking, so he didn't say much, and when the waiter in the store served the food, he found that there was an extra plate of delicious food. The waiter set them up one by one, and smiled at Liu Yi who looked at him suspiciously.
"Our shopkeeper said, as long as Dr. Liu comes, it will be fine, and the shopkeeper will pay for the meal."
"That's why good people get good rewards. Doctor Liu is a well-known living Buddha in Wutong Town. He has a kind heart and good medical skills. Tsk tsk, who in Wutong Town can say that he has never received the favor of Doctor Liu."
Liu Yi knew that the people in Wutong Town treated him as a foreigner very well, and he was very grateful, but at this moment, he couldn't help but blush when he heard the little girl praise him so much.
Li Butou, who was sitting by the side, poured a glass of wine, got up and handed it to him, and echoed, "Doctor Liu deserves it."
Liu Yi took the wine glass and didn't refuse them anymore, he raised his head and drank it down. The two of them were full of admiration when they saw him being so forthright, and the waiter in the shop hurriedly said a few more words "if it's not enough, just ask" Step back and leave the two of them to talk.
......
"I saw people from your yamen walking around in the town recently, but what happened?" Liu Yi asked, raising his eyebrows as he poured himself a glass of wine, remembering what he saw in the town recently.
Catcher Li took a chopstick of beef and chewed it in his mouth for a while, then put down his chopsticks, sighed and replied, "Recently, the town has been a bit uneasy, and the yamen specially ordered that people who come and go come and go be strictly investigated."
"Not peaceful? This..."
Catcher Li glanced sideways at the door for a few times, seeing no one, he leaned over and whispered
"There is going to be a war at the border, and the yamen is afraid that foreign enemies will sneak in, so they stepped up their patrols. They didn't dare to post notices for fear of disturbing the hearts of the people."
When Liu Yi heard that the wine glass hadn't been brought to his lips, he said in surprise, "War?"
"The dynasty has prospered for decades, how can it be said that wars will be fought, and besides, the current emperor..."
Li Butou interrupted him, shook his head helplessly and said, "Don't mention the emperor."
Liu Yi remembered the person he met just now, and asked with a frown, "How do you say that?"
"I'm not afraid to tell Dr. Liu that you don't know something. I heard that since the death of the emperor's male favorite five years ago, the emperor has been drunk all day long and has no intention of governing the government. The surrounding small countries took the opportunity to form an alliance to attack our dynasty. , I heard news from the frontier that General Yang died in battle."
"Which General Yang?"
"This dynasty isn't just General Yang Haoyang."
Unable to remain calm anymore, he suddenly got up and was so excited that he shouted tremblingly, "What? Yang Hao is dead?"
Catcher Li saw how excited he was, and asked doubtfully, "Could it be that Doctor Liu knows this General Yang?"
Only then did Liu Yi realize his gaffe, sat down slowly, shook his head bitterly, and said hoarsely, "I'm just an ordinary commoner, how could I know any general, but I've heard about General Yang's deeds before. It is really a pity that he died in battle with his blood for the country."
"Yes...but don't worry, I have a lot of ambitions in my royal dynasty, how can I be afraid of their mere barbarians."
"..."
"Come on, don't talk about this, come to Doctor Liu, I respect you with this cup."
Liu Yi lost his expression, raised his hand to raise his glass, the two clinked their glasses and drank each, but they each had their own concerns, he ate nothing, and he just responded blindly to what Li Butou said during the meal, absent-minded.Not long after eating, Liu Yi hurriedly got up and declined, and was about to leave. Catcher Li toasted him again, and said with a smile, "My brother and sister are about to give birth, don't forget to treat me to a wedding wine."
When Liu Yi heard this, thinking of Qingqing and the child who was about to be born, his eyes were full of doting, and he cupped his hands and smiled softly, "There are still more than two months left. Don't worry, Catcher Li, I will definitely not forget you by then."
The two said a few more irrelevant words, and Liu Yicai quickly left Zuixiangju.
