Wish Junshou and Tianqi

Song Yanqing's change caught Chu Shou off guard. The person who was talking about "hypocrisy" a few days ago is now holding onto her hand tightly.

Although she was puzzled, she was happy from the bottom of her heart. When she was young, she always asked everywhere for answers. She always felt that everything should have a result, and there should be an answer. To do anything, you must be sober.

But after going through a lot, now she suddenly discovered that sometimes it is not necessary to grasp the word "brightness" - in every minute and every second of the past, present and future, why is the sky blue? It doesn't matter where the end of the sea is, what matters is who you hold in your hand, and finally who you walk side by side with through the mountains and rivers, the sun rises and the moon sets.

She put her arms around his neck, and leaned her head heavily on his shoulders. The road down the mountain was extremely long, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter. The autumn cicadas kept singing without a sound, and even the time was covered by the warm sun. Slow down.

She and Song Yanqing did not speak in tacit agreement along the way, enjoying the rare time quietly, but when they were approaching the foot of the mountain, Song Yanqing asked an unexpected question.

As if he had made up his mind, he called her name in a low voice—"Qingqing".

Chu Shou was dazed by the sun, and responded lazily.

"It is said in the scriptures that even the celestial maidens of the witch clan would not survive. Could your illness at that time be related to this?"

Before Chu Shou opened his eyes, he laughed out loud, "This princess is the young master of the witch clan, not a goddess. She is nineteen and twenty, but she is in her prime."

Song Yanqing lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, did he worry too much?

It is well known that today's noble concubine is a heavenly woman of the Wu clan, but the fate of a heavenly girl is a taboo of the Wu clan. Because she hated her own beauty, she searched hard for the heavenly official whom the elders of the Wu clan said, killed his parents, and captured his elder brother. It's only because the heavenly official's heart and blood can be used as medicine to induce the heavenly girl to return to her soul.

Zhao Wuji took his blood, he really saw it... He looked up at a mountain and green leaves in the distance, a little dazed, the clouds in the sky slowly changed and flowed away, and looked sideways at Chu Shou on his shoulder However, his heart was beating non-stop, he was a little panicked, and the fear that jumped out of his heart gradually spread to his whole body.

The scorching sun is still hot, circles of halos spread out, and disappear into the clouds out of thin air. The strong wind howls in the mountains and forests, wantonly rolling the bushes with big flowers, and the silvery white heat waves flip up and down with the wind. There are no birds in the forest, only clusters of dark green branches and leaves are left, weakly dancing with the wind.

When they went down the mountain and returned to the General's Mansion, Ah Shui and Sanqian had already arrived home one step earlier, and they had prepared cool drinks and fruits waiting for them.

Chu Shou and Song Yanqing parted at the gate of the mansion. His Majesty urged them to go to Qingzhou quickly. The Lord Zhizhou had already sent troops to surround Qingzhou Nanshan. The intercepted copper mine was proved to be from the Qingzhou bandits. However, the bandits took advantage of the terrain and could not get out of the mountain without any explanation or good attitude. As a result, the imperial court could no longer tolerate them, and sent troops early in the morning to besiege them on the mountain.

The biggest reason why she went was that His Majesty knew that she was "in collusion" with the bandits. Originally, the bandits in Linglong Village often went down the mountain to harass the nearby people and did a lot of evil. Later, they used Chu Shou as a medium to draw a boundary. The mountain road is a mountain road. Official way is official way, do not interfere with each other, live with peace of mind.

After learning about the copper mine from Lu Xiaonian that night, Chu Shou sent someone to deliver a letter to the village, but nothing came of it. The smuggling of the copper mine this time undoubtedly overturned the agreement completely, and everything seemed to be back to the original point, back to the original place. The moment when the chaos was stopped.

As soon as Chu Shoufang stepped into the back room, he ordered Ah Shui to pack his luggage quickly and set off immediately. Qingzhou is not far from Beijing. If he leaves in the afternoon and travels overnight, he will arrive in Qingzhou before noon the next day.

While Chu Shou was picking the fruit and stuffing it into his mouth, the old general brought Su Tiying in hastily.

Old General Chu stretched out his big hand and gently pushed Su Tiying forward, and said angrily, "Take her away quickly!"

Su Tiying lowered her head, like a child who has done something wrong, she kept her lips tightly shut and said nothing.

Chu Shou smiled unexpectedly, it was always only other people who annoyed the old man, and it was the first time she saw the old man annoy someone so much.

"The nagging one is even more nagging than the second aunt who sells pork. Take it away quickly!" The old general pointed at Su Tiying, and then gave another reason: "My mouth is full of nonsense, I am I’m old, but I’m not too old to understand a word!”

Su Tiying was wronged, she was just idle and bored, looking for someone to talk to, people here are unfamiliar, so it's okay to be curious and easy to ask, besides, the old general's method of helping people on blind dates is not right, the two of them clearly They don't like each other, they have to get together, Cupid can't shoot with his feet even if he knows how to shoot...

"No, no, no." Chu Shou bit the fruit and shook his head repeatedly, but Su Tiying's eyes widened: Why not...

"I'm going to Qingzhou to settle the matter of the copper mine. I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the wedding date and miss a major event. It's not good."

Su Tiying's heart that had lasted for more than ten days was completely broken when Chu Shou said these words. She stood still, and the emotions that had been endured for a long time finally gushed out, and the mood of living cautiously here also She was not allowed to vent loudly, she clenched her fists tightly, lowered her head and rolled down big teardrops.

Seeing this, Chu Shou panicked, and quickly waved his hands to tell the people in the room to go out.

The old general also softened his heart. Hearing that she had a strange disease, he said earnestly, "Girl, grandpa didn't mean that..."

Chu Shou got up quickly, pushed him out, Ah Shui Sanqian also looked at each other, and walked out together.

The room suddenly became quiet, and only Su Tiying's low sobs could be heard. She couldn't hold back her emotions and fell down on the ground. Chu Shou sat down beside her and put her hand on her sobbing shoulder. He said softly: "I don't mean to drive you away, it's difficult to go to Qingzhou, so you can stay in this mansion well..."

Su Tiying raised her hand to touch the tears, her eyes were moist, and sobbed:

"I know... I am very lucky to be the first one here to meet you... I have already made my plan. I will study hard, find a job I like, and buy a house. There is no special need Big, as long as I can live in it and let me live a safe and stable life."

"I worked hard to save money and approached my goal step by step, but when I was about to approach the light, the light went out... Well, I admit that God is unfair, but since I came here, I have to see you every day. Different people walk different paths and have to abide by different rules. Those people are like human traffickers trying to force me to marry a stranger. Well, I resist. The funny thing is that no one here thinks my resistance That's right, but sometimes I think, since it's all like this, let's take a step forward, but... But the education I have received for so many years does not allow this, you know? I don't accept it, I can't accept it at all. "

She wiped away her tears again, and wiped them away completely. Her red eyes were full of determination at the moment, she gritted her teeth and continued:

"I understand that there is no place here that belongs to me, and no one has a real connection with me...Unless I am forced to do something, I will spend my days in a daze. I watched A completely unfamiliar scene, nervous and scared, saying happy... It's actually a lie, I'm just deceiving myself, I wake up every morning full of expectations, but I fail again and again, I can't accept this kind of life, and I won't Being beaten and looking for death is a coward’s thing to do, I won’t, definitely won’t.”

She raised her hand to hold Chu Shou, and said firmly: "Just help me one more time, take me out of Kyoto, I must leave here."

At this moment, the shadows of the soul and the body seemed to overlap, and the heavy internal conflict, under the perfect fusion of consciousness and matter, was hammered and vulnerable.

Chu Shouhui held her hand, with tears in his eyes, and said with empathy: "She needs you to save her life that she has worked so hard and can't let go."

After finishing speaking, Su Tiying stared blankly, and nodded firmly.

The two immediately got up from the ground, and Chu Shou walked quickly to the desk, picked up a pen to write, and said while writing: "I have a good friend, her family has been in business for generations, and no one else understands why she didn't marry early and live a stable life." , I insist on going into business everywhere, but I think she is the most unrestrained and comfortable, I think you have to go to her, you two must have something to talk about."

Su Tiying looked at Chu Shou, and couldn't help laughing, the remaining tears were still hanging on her cheeks, this was the first time she laughed so happily after coming here, no excuses could be the reason for her to restrain herself, this time, She wants to break free from that invisible shackle for herself.

Chu Shou looked at her with a somewhat embarrassed smile, messy, and also smiled heartily. She loves to watch these, and loves to see some people find themselves and shine.

@
outside of Kyoto.

After a while, they set off again. The clouds in the sky were already burning red, and a scene hung high in the sky.

Haoran's sky is often monotonous and pale. Even the brilliance of the sunrise is far inferior to the quiet magnificence of the setting sun when it retreats.

"What do you mean by this? Are you running away from marriage?" Chu Shou picked up the package and handed it to Su Tiying. Su Tiying took the package and turned to look at the woman sitting in the carriage. My mother ran away from marriage, and we are moving... away from the scumbag father, and create a better life together."

Su Tiying continued to sigh: "You're right, she has a reason why she can't let go, and I will cherish it for her in the days to come. I'm leaving. As for the unpleasantness of this capital city, tell me It doesn't matter half a dime."

Chu Shou raised his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, as for me, I am the best at turning black and white, and I will definitely blame you for your escape."

Su Tiying lowered her eyes and smiled. This was also what she was worried about. She was afraid that her leaving would have a bad influence on Chu Shou. She had done enough to help herself.

Chu Shou raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, urging: "Go, it will be troublesome if you are discovered."

Su Tiying nodded, took two steps back and stood still, raised her hand awkwardly to salute, raised her eyes and smiled and asked: "Thank you Princess, is this the way to salute?"

"Next time, see you next time, I will definitely burn you amulets and let you drink incense ash water."

Su Tiying burst out laughing, her eyes were full of reluctance, she looked back and forth at every step, Chu Shou waved her hands vigorously, watching her get into the carriage, and gradually disappeared from sight.

Suddenly the wind blew up, and the strong wind rolled up the gauze skirt, flying in the air together with the broken hair around his neck. Chu Shou put down his hands weakly, and looked at the carriage going away, the shadow was getting longer and longer, feeling inexplicably sad.

"Don't catch the cold."

A cloak was draped over her body. Song Yanqing appeared behind her, gathered the cloak, and went forward to tie the belt for her. His eyelashes naturally drooped to draw a profile, and his eyes must have looked extraordinarily serious.

"The Shangmusi I told you about before, they are really alike. The capital is not their best destination, but the whole world is." Chu Shou smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked up at him with brown pupils. Reflecting the setting sun on the horizon, she was shrouded in soft light and shadow, but she gave people an extraordinarily fragile feeling, like a phantom of bubbles, which would burst at the slightest touch.

Song Yanqing raised her hand, straightened her blown hair, and asked softly, "What about you? Where is your destination?"

"Me?" Chu Shou was stopped by the question, bit his lip and thought about it for a while, then replied: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."

Song Yanqing gave a soft "hmm", and stroked the jade hairpin on the back of her head with her slender fingers, "It can be anywhere, just take me with you."

After Chu Shou heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, but his eyes lowered, and he took a few steps back and said, "We should go too, the journey is far away, so don't delay the trip."

Song Yanqing's hand paused in the air, and after hearing what she said, he quietly retracted it, and stepped forward to hold her hand. He became more and more familiar with this movement. He helped Chu Shou into the carriage, and he also bowed to follow her. up.

Shen Yike, who was standing behind the carriage with his hands behind his back, looked at the two of them, shook his head with a helpless smile, and shouted, "Let's go!" before he also got into the carriage.

There was also a person sitting in the carriage——Mu Huashu, who happened to put down the bamboo curtain of the side window, with a slight frown on her brows and worried eyes, she asked, "My lord...has he forgotten that revenge?" Yet?"

Shen Yike supported his knee with his right hand, rubbed the warm teacup with his left fingertips, shook his head and said: "Emotions, who can say clearly..."

Mu Huashu tightly grasped the robe in front of his legs and remembered the situation of that day, but it seemed to be vivid in his memory. The torrential rain soaked Song Yanqing's whole body, and he lay there in a mess, blood and rain It spread around him... Angrily complained: "That arrow killed half of the adult, and he finally recovered, and suffered the aftereffects of stress. Fortunately, she is as comfortable as if it never happened. "

Shen Yike looked at Mu Huashu's complaining expression, secretly curled his lips into a smile, raised his head and drank the warm tea, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion, how many people have been trapped by the word "love"?
