Occupational sacrifice

Chapter 73 Meet again, but strangers

The past quickly flashed through my mind, and in my memory, the face that I can't forget is gradually overlapping with the beautiful figure who is slowly approaching.

She has matured a little, but there seems to be more melancholy and sadness in her eyes, and the rest seems to be unchanged.

Yes, for her, from 1896 when Zhang Buyi left last time to 1898 now, only two years have passed.

But for Zhang Buyi, decades have passed, and two lives have been separated in the middle, and the person has changed from Chen Lianfang to Zhou Tai.

We meet again, but we are already strangers!
Under the mood swings, the characteristics of emotional injury spread, and Zhang Buyi's whole temperament changed. In the original gentle and elegant, there was a little sadness, and he looked very melancholy, which made people feel distressed!
Before the girl approached, Zhang Buyi came back to his senses, turned around and left in a hurry.

For her, seeing each other again is just the next year.For him, meeting again is the afterlife.

Since it is impossible, the best choice is not to try to break into her life.Meeting Stranger Things and looking at each other in Jianghu is his best blessing to her!

After all, they are bound to each other!
"Sister Qing'er, I heard that you're here too, and I'm going to find you!" Kang Tongbi looked at Zhu Qing'er and said happily.

Zhu Qing'er frowned slightly, looked at the back of Zhang Buyi who was leaving in a hurry, and asked with doubts: "Who is that?"

Only then did Kang Tongbi realize that Zhang Buyi had already run away, she shook her head and said, "I don't know, the person I met just now was trying to trick him into playing with him."

Between the words, it was probably because Zhu Qing'er came and diverted her attention, and she no longer had the previous interest in Zhang Buyi.She pulled the good girl beside her, stepped forward and held Zhu Qing'er's hand and said, "Sister Qing'er, let's go swimming in the lake!"

"Hello, Your Highness!" The good girl beside her also greeted timidly at this time.

Zhu Qing'er frowned and looked at the gradually disappearing back, then turned her head and smiled very lightly, and said, "Let's go."

"By the way, Sister Qing'er, why did you come to Nanzhou? Didn't you treat illnesses in various places in the north? Are you going back to Mianzhou?" Kang Tongbi asked.

When she heard the place name of Mianzhou, Zhu Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and the maid beside her subconsciously looked at her young lady.

Zhu Qing'er didn't lose her composure, she was just stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "This time I'm going south, I have some things to do. As for coming to Nanzhou... I heard that your father is going to Beijing, I guess you will also Follow along, thinking of taking a look along the way."

The four of them chatted and gradually drifted away.

······
Zhang Buyi hastily left quite a distance away, and after not feeling Zhu Qing'er's gaze, he stopped and looked back.

In the distance, four women walked towards the distance together while talking.

He was stunned for a long time, and his emotions were rarely ups and downs. Sad emotions filled his heart, and he couldn't help sighing:
"The reincarnation of spring and autumn is several times, and the vicissitudes of life are countless;

Looking back, the lights are dim, and there are still strangers in the end of the world;
Hey, we are not the same people after all, I wish you happiness! "

Following Zhang Buyi's words, a strong sadness rose from his whole body, and his temperament became extremely melancholy.This kind of breath seems to be fatally attractive to the people around, especially women.

Quite a few girls were already looking at him, but at this moment, Qi Qi was infatuated.

Especially in the hearts of some girls, he is like a lamp in the dark night, bright and dazzling, and they want people to jump on them regardless of their own safety.

Seeing the melancholy Zhang Buyi, they were in pain like a throbbing heart, and many of them really wanted to go forward, stretch out their hands to smooth his slightly frowned brows, remove the wound in his heart, or bear it for him.

[Fate +1! 】

"Good poetry, good poetry! I never expected that little Nanzhou is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger! But if you continue to do this, and don't collect mana, how many girls will suffer from insomnia in Nanzhou City tonight."

A cold voice interrupted Zhang Buyi's thoughts and brought him back to his senses.

After returning to his senses, Zhang Buyi noticed the strangeness around him, and quickly took in his breath.It seems that this attribute solidification is not all good!
"Chirp!"

In his arms, the little fox also looked at Zhang Buyi with suspicious eyes, and chirped softly as if worried and puzzled, as if trying to comfort Zhang Buyi.

Zhang Buyi reached out and touched the fox's head, then turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the lights were just coming on. In the dimness, a woman in a light gauze skirt walked towards Zhang Buyi with a faint smile.

Not only is she extremely beautiful, but her graceful figure is also swaying in the wind while walking, but she doesn't show any charm.

She was obviously wearing a light gauze dress that was somewhat revealing for this era, but it was not at all gaudy or tacky, but instead gave people an elegant feeling of orchids in the empty valley and green bamboos.

Elegant, noble, inviolable!

The contradictory visual and sensory gap makes people unable to forget it after just one glance.Coupled with her perfect face, her whole person is simply a masterpiece of heaven.

"I lost my composure just now, I made everyone laugh at me!" Even though he had never seen this woman before, Zhang Buyi instantly guessed who she was.

"The artistic conception is vicissitudes, a little sad and miserable, young master, is this hurt?" Sai Jinhua said while seeing Zhang Buyi with a smile while looking at the ceremony.

"Hehe, it's just that I was a little emotional and just read some sentences casually." Zhang Buyi replied with a smile.

"Read? Forgive me for being ignorant, I don't seem to have heard of it before." Sai Jinhua said in surprise.

Zhang Buyi paused, "Modern Internet poetry, if you have heard of it, I should suspect your identity!"
Zhang Buyi smiled and said, "I felt emotional, so I couldn't help but read it out."

Sai Jinhua was taken aback when he heard the words, then looked at the smiling Zhang Buyi, and said with a strange expression: "Young Master is a wonderful person, why haven't you heard of Young Master before?"

"The nameless one is not worth mentioning. It's normal that everyone has never heard of Sai!" Zhang Buyi replied with a smile still.

"Girl, we don't have much time, it's almost time!" At this time, a maid following behind Sai Jinhua reminded in a low voice.

Sai Jinhua paused, looked at Zhang Buyi and said, "My lord is also here to attend the poetry meeting, right?"

Zhang Buyi nodded with a smile.

"The little girl will take a step first, and look forward to seeing you on the flower boat!"

While speaking, Sai Jinhua saluted Zhang Buyi, and Zhang Buyi returned the salute slightly, and the other party left in a hurry.

Zhang Buyi looked around and found that some women were still looking at him from a distance, unwilling to leave, with fascinated eyes.

He frowned slightly, and quickly left the spot, heading for the small square in front of the lake.

···········
As the sky turned dark and the lights came on, the garden party didn't seem to calm down, but became more lively.

When Zhang Buyi came to the small square in front of the lake, it had already turned into a place like a festival of lanterns.

Many people were playing in the small square, and many women were holding lanterns and setting them off by the lake. Yan Ran really came to a lantern festival.

But in the crowd, more people's attention was focused on the building search boat in the center of the lake.

Lou Chuan didn't keep everyone waiting too long, and after a while, the lights were quickly turned on before it was completely dark.

"The Spring Fortune Garden Poetry Club is opening. Please use your means to board the boat. Anyone who is able to board the boat can participate. The only rule is that boats are not allowed to cross the lake!"

As the building boarded, the candles lit up, illuminating the entire building.On the upstairs boat, a cold voice spread out, and everyone who had been waiting for a long time heard it all.

"What, there is no bridge and no boat, how to board the boat?"

"Are you going to swim there?"

"That's right, don't give a boat, at least get a bridge out!"

In an instant, many people around who had been waiting for a long time vented their dissatisfaction in a hurry.

"Haha, it's interesting. It seems that this poetry meeting is a bit demanding! Then let the old man take the lead!"

Amidst the people's chattering words, a middle-aged Confucian scholar suddenly laughed, and casually tore off a dead branch, threw it into the lake, stepped lightly on the dead branch, and crossed the water!

"It's Mr. Qin. I didn't expect Mr. Qin to come!"

"Bullshit, what about everyone's poetry meeting!"

"..."

Zhang Buyi looked at this scene, but pursed his mouth. Master Qin was obviously trying to attract jade as a backing, that's all, there are still some coins.

However, the effect was not bad. Following Master Qin's actions, people who were a bit scrupulous at first also started to act.

In an instant, demons danced wildly on the lake.

There is lightness kung fu, who can cross the river with a reed;

Some bounce amazingly and jump directly over;

There are also those who are floating in the air, as if flying past.

And those scholars who came here for the name and passed the literary examination could only watch helplessly. The garden party by the lake was their place.

Obviously, only monks can participate in the night session of this poetry meeting, and a certain level of cultivation is required.It seems that this so-called Poetry Club is not only to curry favor with Kang Youwei, but also has other purposes!

"Get out of the way, why can't I go there? Didn't you say that everyone depends on their means?"

"My aunt, don't embarrass the little one, the master really has something to do today, and I can't tolerate your nonsense!"

"Hmph, isn't it just a flower boat tour, what's the business!"

"..."

At this time, a familiar voice not far away entered Zhang Buyi's ears.

Zhang Buyi looked along and found that Kang Tongbi was being stopped by a man, not allowing her to cross the lake.But Zhu Qing'er, who was with her before, did not know where she went.

Zhang Buyi looked at it for a while, shook his head, and then walked into the lake.

As he stepped into the lake, the sapphire card in his body danced, and as the magic power spread under his feet, he just stepped on the lake, and the lake water turned into a mirror. He stepped on the water and walked towards the center of the lake step by step.

The movements are calm and relaxed, and the gestures are all in the style of a master.Such a leisurely behavior, coupled with his outstanding temperament, attracted the attention of many people.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, I don't have any impression!"

"Looking at his cultivation, it doesn't seem to be low!"

"This breath feels so strange, it seems to be Confucianism but not Confucianism, and Taoism is not Taoism!"

"Let's cross the river in the right way!"

"No wonder!"

"Interesting, it's obviously a Confucianism cultivator, but it's Daoism, it's really interesting!"

"..."
