Chapter 86
Chapter 86
It was late at night, Beidou Mountain Villa was quiet, and the last snow of the year was falling rustlingly.
In the Yaoguang Pavilion, the window near the bamboo forest is still lit with candles, which reminds people of sentences like "knocking chess pieces and falling lights".The owner of the young village, Shen Shen, stayed in the house all day today.His newly recovered eyes couldn't bear the snow light, so he had to copy some calm scriptures, but he felt more and more disturbed as he copied, as if something big was about to happen.
At this moment, someone tapped on the window twice.
Before the third button was tapped, he stood up abruptly, opened the window with a "wipe", and stretched out his hand to drag the people in.
Zhong Wan said "Ouch", with snow falling on his shoulders, as if he had been waiting outside for a long time.Shen Chen was sullen for no reason, and said, "Why don't you come in?"
The man frowned and said with a smile, "I haven't been here for so long, I don't even know the way."
His words were undoubtedly prevarication, but Shen Shen didn't expose it, but just said to him lightly: "You also know that you haven't come for a long time."
Zhong Wan smiled and shook his arm flatteringly: "Don't be angry, today is an important matter for you."
Shen Chen let him go and poured him a cup of hot tea.The steam on the tea curled up and rose in mid-air, but Zhong Wan didn't pick it up, and just looked at him for a long time through the white mist.
His figure became blurred and distorted behind the white mist, as if it could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Shen Shen suddenly felt the same uneasiness as before.
Until the heat gradually dissipated, Zhong Wan's face gradually became clear again. It was still the pair of dark and narrow phoenix eyes, with an overly beautiful appearance, all of which were flamboyant.He pushed the teacup lightly, and said softly: "Shen Chen, I am here to say goodbye to you."
Shen Chen only felt a "buzz" in his ears. It was clear that a few months ago, they sat side by side and talked at the Pingjiang night banquet, and they were still close in front of them. Why is this person leaving all of a sudden?
He has always been praised for being young and old, but at this moment he couldn't help being in a mess, reaching out to grab Zhong Wan's sleeve, regardless of the "clang" knocking over the hot tea, and pouring all of it on his thin pajamas: "Why?"
Zhong Wan frantically helped him wipe his cuffs, but he brushed them away and forced him to ask, "Why did you leave?"
Except for Wan Fangyuan, few people have spoken to Zhong Wan in such a tone, but he was not angry, instead he felt guilty, and lied stumblingly: "I'll just go for a few months and wait until I write to you, okay?" ?”
Shen Chen slowly let go of his sleeve, took a step back, and said with a wry smile: "...you are lying to me."
He is obviously a young man who has been blind for more than ten years, but he can see through all Zhong Wan's lies at a glance: "Tell me, why did you leave, don't lie to me..." Shen Shen was slightly choked up when he said this, and he just felt It was hazy in front of my eyes, except for Zhong Wan, there was also a thin figure standing alone, wearing a long skirt and beaded hairpin, his face was so familiar, but it was blurry.He didn't know who he was talking to, but he just stretched out his hand and begged, "...don't lie to me, please."
Someone held his hand, he didn't know if it was his mother or Zhong Wan, but he held on to the life-saving straw tightly and refused to let go no matter what.His eyes, which had just regained his sight, began to ache again. If he could go back to the day when he took the medicine for the last time, he would still take that bowl of blood from Chen Qiaoyue; but if he was asked to go back to the beginning of everything, he might not hesitate Make yourself stillborn.
The man led himself out of the house when he stumbled, the eyes were full of white, the dazzling snow light, the black bamboo, the moon like water drops, the sky and the earth were like a scroll of dim landscape paintings.The man breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "At that time, it was here, I played you around, took someone else's pipa, and lied to you that I am a bad person with ulterior motives."
Shen Shen wanted to say that although he was blind, he could see many things clearly, and he never regarded Zhong Wan at that time as a villain.But he moved his lips a bit, but he didn't speak after all.
Zhong Wan said to himself, "Actually, I'll tell you a secret. At that banquet, I played it wrong on purpose... just to see if the famous Young Master can hear it."
Shen Shen only felt something stuck in his throat, and it was so difficult for him to speak: "I know."
Hearing what he said, Zhong Wan tilted his head instead, and said with a smile: "Well, I should have known that you knew. Shen Chen, you are so smart, smarter than all the kids I have ever seen... You should know, I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's really... I can't let you know, it's too dangerous, Shen Shen. "
After that, he wanted to let go of the heavy hand, but the young Qianyuan held it tighter and tighter, and said stubbornly: "Then, I can't ask you to go like this. Tell me why, I will find a way, definitely will..."
Zhong Wan couldn't help laughing: "Little white-eyed wolf, what can you do? You first teach me what..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Chen interrupted him, and said very firmly: "I will be the future head of the Shen family, the next owner of Beidou Villa."
His tone was far beyond calm and decisive. Zhong Wan couldn't help but be surprised when he thought he was extremely disgusted with this kind of thing before: "You..."
Zhong Wan wanted to turn around to take a good look at him, but found that Shen Chen was already so much taller than him at some point.The shoulders of the two of them were already covered with water stains left by the melting snow, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger.
Shen Chen still wanted to say something, but Zhong Wan seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "Well, close your eyes, I have something that I have never told anyone else, and now I want to tell you."
"I close my eyes," he finally compromised, but he was still worried, and emphasized, "You must not let go of my hand, and you are not allowed to sneak away alone."
Zhong Wan repeated: "Okay, I will not let go of your hand."
After finishing speaking, he tore off a corner of his clothes, and gently covered Shen Chen's eyes.
At that moment, the dazzling snowy light faded from the eyes, and the pain was miraculously relieved.Before Shen Chen had time to react, he smelled a very special and pleasant fragrance in the air besides the icy cold air, which spread bit by bit, like falling plum blossoms on a snowy night, amazed in a corner that no one knows to bloom.
He couldn't help smelling it for a long time before he suddenly realized what it was: "Zhong Wan, you, you..."
The man whispered in his ear: "Well, I am Kunze."
This news was so shocking that he was unable to react for a while. In his mind, the rumors he had heard overtly and secretly, pretending to inquire, the descriptions of his parents, the hearts of Kun Ze, and his attitude in front of him They appeared alternately, so that when Zhong Wan came up and touched his lips lightly, he couldn't resist at all. He could only let the man put his hands on his shoulders and stroke his hair. Pointing together, with lightning speed, tap the acupuncture point on his back.
His whole body trembled, his palms felt sore, and he involuntarily let go of Zhong Wan's hand.At that moment, Zhong Wan, like a flying swallow, leaped from in front of him to the top of the bamboo forest without any hesitation, and flew away.
Zhong Wan always spoke harshly to him, but his strikes were thunderous and rainy, but this time the acupoints were solid. He exhausted all his energy to push away a little, stepping on them deeply and shallowly. Xue went to the bottom of the bamboo forest.He couldn't do light work, so he could only walk staggeringly step by step. His footprints dragged extremely long on the snow. However, even though he fell and got up again, and tried his best, the familiar white figure was still in front of his eyes. A place where you can see it, but you can't catch it.
"I will find you," he knew that Zhong Wan couldn't hear him, but he still ran and shouted, "I will find you... Beidou Mountain Villa is north of Qilu and Guandong; south of it is Jiangnan and Baiyue; To the west is Kunlun, Tianshan, the desert, the Western Regions... I know all of them, at worst, I will keep looking for them all my life, the sky and the earth are big, I can always find them..."
When he said this, he couldn't hold on any longer, his legs softened, and he knelt down in the snow.In a half-dream and half-awake state, he felt someone rushing over and carrying him into a warm room like spring, and then the surroundings became a mess. Someone saw him, gave him medicine, wiped his body, and gave him needles. He backed away.
When he woke up, Shen Yuan was the only one standing beside his bed, not afraid of getting sick, holding a book of sages, nodding his head like a chicken pecking at rice as sleepy, but he didn't read a single word.After Shen Chen coughed twice, he jumped up suddenly and said in surprise, "Brother, you're awake!"
Seeing his pale face, Shen Yuan hurriedly handed over the warm water beside the bed, and said, "Doctor Chen said, you were in a hurry, and you became confused for a while. You have been trapped by nightmares these days, it's scary. Brother, what kind of dream is it that is so scary?"
He has always felt that his elder brother is fearless and omnipotent, and sometimes he frowns and trembles all over.Naturally, Shen Shen would not tell him that he dreamed of heavy snowfall, walking endlessly alone, occasionally there was the clear sound of the pipa, occasionally the fragrance of laurel, and occasionally a little fuzzy white, swaying in front of his eyes, but waiting for him I closed and opened my eyes, but there was nothing.He walked a lot alone, and his footprints were very long, but he still couldn't get out of this pale snow field.
He just leaned against the bed, looking at the scenery outside the window after the snow had melted, and said in a light tone: "A Yuan, let me ask you, what is north of Beidou Mountain Villa?"
Shen Yuan didn't know why, and replied: "It's Qilu where the Bodhi Temple is located."
Shen Shen nodded, and asked again: "Then, how about going further north?"
"Are you going further north... you're going to be outside the pass. I don't know if you go north outside the pass. Oh, brother, you want to test my homework, right?"
Shen Chen didn't answer him, the sky was extraordinarily bright after the snow melted, and it hurt his eyes.Shen Yuan felt that he might not be able to wait for a reply, neither to leave nor to stay, but he heard him muttering: "Beidou Mountain Villa is north of Qilu and Guandong; south of it is Jiangnan and Baiyue; further west is Kunlun and Tianshan. , the desert, the Western Regions... I know all the mountains, rivers and regions in this world, but the sky and the earth are big... Even if I search for my whole life, how can I find you?"
Shen Yuan thought he had heard wrong, so he suddenly raised his head, only to see that his usually calmest and reserved elder brother was already tear-stained.
***
When Shen Shen woke up, he lightly touched his face as if he was not at ease, and felt that there was no dampness, so he felt relieved, got off the bed lightly, helped Zhong Wan beside him twist the quilt, and went outside Hair.
Yesterday Zhong Wan revealed all the past, and the fog that had haunted the two of them for many years finally dissipated, and the fragments scattered all over the years put together a jaw-dropping truth.He thought he had no intention of going to sleep tonight, but the ups and downs of the Pingjiang waves made him fall into a drowsy sleep, and he dreamed about the time when Zhong Wan bid farewell to him many years ago.
After standing there for an unknown amount of time, he was just about to turn around and go back when someone suddenly put a cloak on him from behind, half complaining, half caring and scolding: "...it's so cold, I won't freeze you to death."
Under the moonlight, Zhong Wan's face was actually the same as in the dream, which made him feel dazed for a while.Zhong Wan was a little baffled, she spread her five fingers and waved in front of his eyes, and said, "Did you wake up? Shen Shen, Shen Shen?"
He grasped Kun Ze's hand, gathered it into his cloak, and replied, "Wake up."
He is no longer the bewildered young man back then. Four years of wind, frost, rain and snow made him grow at an astonishing speed, but like a child jumping up and down, growth is always accompanied by unavoidable pain.
Seeing that his complexion was not good, Zhong Wan just wanted to ask a few words, but Qian Yuan wrapped him in a cloak together, and kissed his forehead very preciously. Moonlight and starlight licked across his forehead.
"The sky is big and the earth is big...but it is fate that we meet again."
