Lights on the other side

Chapter 16 Night Chapter

I also know the story about the Misty Ship in Yanzhou, but that story is too much like a legend, and people are always willing to believe that version in order to seek asylum.

In fact, I stayed in a small fishing village near Yanzhou for less than half a day, and heard another version.This version is definitely not so beautiful, and the Misty Ship is not called Misty Ship in the local population, it is called a ghost ship, which sounds quite sinister.But I don't care about these, you also know that things that people pass by word of mouth are usually not the same in the end.

But then I heard from Cen Jiu that you went up, so I...

"and many more."

Li Ruoci interrupted the speaker.

"Yun Liujin, Cen Jiu still has the duty to monitor me?"

Yun Liujin thought for a few seconds, and quickly denied: "Don't get me wrong, no. The main reason is that Cen Jiu is too serious. He should report to me what should be said and what should not be said, big and small."

Li Ruoci sneered.

Then, he asked, "Is the suzerain worried about me?"

Yun Liujin said: "You are overthinking."

He paused for a few seconds, and tentatively said, "Should I continue to talk?"

Li Ruoci said: "Speak, remember to omit your personal feelings, I don't want to hear it."

"Ok."

Thirty years ago, in a small fishing village near Yancheng, it seemed to be called Weishui Village. The Ruan family in Weishui Village gave birth to a daughter named Hongyu.

When Ruan Hongyu was three years old, a family with the surname Silk moved in nearby. Their family also had a daughter named Silk Hongyu. It was a coincidence, um, it should be considered a kind of fate.

The two of them have a good relationship, and they are similar in age, so the relationship is very good, how good is it?It is said that the two are not together except when sleeping, and the rest of the time is together, so people often joke that they are each other's shadow.

Although the two have the same name, their personalities are not very similar. People who have been with them say that the daughter of the Ruan family is more outgoing and handles things generously, while the daughter of the Su family is more introverted and doesn't like to talk.In terms of appearance, Ruan Hongyu is better looking, and there are not a few people who like her from all over the world.Since she was 14 years old, people who proposed to her family as a matchmaker have lined up, and there are many outstanding young children among them, but for some reason, Ruan Hongyu has not been married for a long time, and has been living with her parents. for two years.

Hearing this, Li Ruoci suddenly asked: "Well, how do you know so clearly?"

Yun Liujin said: "I sent someone to investigate."

"Then your investigation is really detailed enough."

"Well, make the best use of everything, they are fine when they are idle, and they are very concerned about this kind of thing."

The two were relatively speechless, but Li Ruoci said, "Forget it, let's go ahead."

The turning point happened when the two of them were 16 years old.

A young man named Duan Shu came to Weishui Village. Well, how should I put it, this man is quite handsome, and he is also a scholar. He can recite some articles and poems. People are different, so they will naturally attract many girls who are waiting to be married.Silk ruby ​​is one of them.

Duan Shu came here to seek refuge with a relative, and this relative was considered familiar with the silk family, after a few visits, Duan Shu and silk Hongyu fell in love with each other.

The two are in love with each other, but within a few months, they have reached the point where they are talking about marriage.Duan Shu has no parents anymore, so this relative is in charge, planning to propose marriage in a few days.

But at this moment, Duan Shu suddenly regretted it, saying that he didn't like silk ruby.

As for why, some people said that they saw him and Ruan Hongyu together, but there was no real evidence, it was all speculation.

But Si Hongyu probably couldn't bear this kind of betrayal, so she committed suicide by jumping into the sea in a day of wind and rain.After the weather cleared, people went to the sea to search for the corpse, but after several days of fishing, they did not find the corpse.

Ten days later, in a foggy weather, Ruan Hongyu also disappeared.

There was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and Yun Liujin immediately stopped talking.The two of them looked behind in unison, only to see Pei Shi casually wearing a coat and coming out of it.

The two of them stood up quickly.

When Pei Shi went to Li Ruoci, he also saw Yun Liujin at the same time, with some doubts in his eyes.

Li Ruoci came to his senses and said, "I just met him, Mr. Jin Liuyun."

Yun Liujin added: "The name is a bit ugly, don't mind it."

Pei Shi nodded and said with a smile, "No."

Li Ruoci said: "Pei Shi, what are you doing out here?"

Pei Shi thought about it, and seemed a little hesitant about whether he should say it or not.

Seeing this situation, Li Ruoci thought it was inconvenient for him, so he pretended to be considerate and said: "Young Master Jin and I are going back first, Young Master Jin should be a little tired, isn't he?"

Yun Liujin glanced at him and said, "It's okay."

Li Ruoci was worried that Yun Liujin would say something he shouldn't say if he stayed here any longer, so he pulled him up.

"Wait..." Pei Shi grabbed Li Ruoci's sleeve.

He said, "The rain has stopped."

Li Ruoci was puzzled: "Huh?"

"I just opened the window and saw stars outside. Didn't you say you want to see the sea under the stars?"

Li Ruoci was amazed, and looked back at Pei Shi, a careless remark, never thought that anyone would remember it clearly.

He laughed silently, then smoothed the broken hair on his forehead, and said, "I remember."

He said to Yun Liujin who was beside him: "Young Master Jin is excused, you should go back by yourself first."

Yun Liujin sized them up playfully, and said, "Then don't bother the two of you."

After that, he went back alone.

Li Ruoci followed Pei Shi to the bow, leaving some water marks on the bow, and the appearance of the woman in white was like a dream.However, Li Ruoci is very clear-headed, and naturally understands that the woman in clothes is not his illusion, and there may be an unfinished story about Yun Liujin.

The rain stopped, and they were a lone boat floating on the boundless black sea, water was dripping from the eaves of the boat, and the red lanterns were still lit, swaying in the cool sea breeze, eliciting a sense of loneliness and beauty.

Pei Shi was standing a little in front of him to the right. From this angle, he could only see his smooth chin and side face. Pei Shi suddenly turned his head, his eyes were cool and starry, which caught Li Ruoci off guard for a while.

Li Ruoci turned his head in embarrassment, Pei Shi smiled and didn't care.

Li Ruoci coughed and calmed down.

He asked, "Have you studied astrology?"

Pei Shi said, "There are some."

Li Ruoci raised his hand, pointed to a star at random and said, "What is that star?"

"Shake light, the seventh star of the Big Dipper."

Brilliant silver light fell on the sea, mottled and broken.

Li Ruoci breathed slowly and long, and Li Ruoci felt that the time was gradually being stretched out, and there was a faint sense of peace in his heart.

Just at this time, I heard a graceful voice from behind saying: "It's sunny and sometimes rainy outside, it's better for the two young masters to come inside the boat first."
