Chapter 42 Brotherhood
In the middle of the month, it snowed heavily.

He and Gou Yue haven't seen each other for half a month.

That was the first time they met after returning to Liangzhu. Gouyue was wearing a wide-sleeved winter robe with a collar of snow-white rabbit fur, which reflected a soft light on her face. She smiled under the lamp and drank. Some wine.

Logically speaking, when he saw her smiling like this in Ruyin, he would always have the urge to laugh too.

But when they met again that night, he saw his own smile in the wine glass, and it was a bitter smile.

Unbecomingly weird.

Gou Yue mixed strong wine with dew wine and drank it. She didn't know that this would make her drunk faster.

Wen Yuanzhi put tea in his hand. He went to see his brother during the day, and he happened to meet him at that time. When he saw Wen Yuanzhi leaving the house, he did not go to see him off.

Gou Yue finally got drunk.

The cup was empty. She knocked on the table and giggled, "What's the matter with you? I asked you to come to me. I kept asking people to tell you that you were busy with official duties. I just came here and saw A Yuan. You said that you are in a low position again, or else you are a subordinate." Officer, why are you becoming more outspoken?"

He really couldn't laugh, so he smiled with all his face, "In a few days, when I've finished all the things at hand, I'll come to you and go out for a walk?"

After just one sentence, Gou Yue fell asleep on the wine table. After a while, her breathing became much heavier, and she seemed to be fast asleep.

Wen Yuanzhi whispered a few words at the door, and within a moment someone brought the cloak.

He draped it over the sleeping woman, his movements extremely gentle.

Ji Pu looked at him and suddenly doubted himself. Has he ever covered Lian He with his clothes like this?After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered that there was no such thing.

A corpse was moved out of one of the two most famous brothels in Liangzhu a few days ago.

Also brought out with the body was an exquisite mahogany box. After opening it, someone looked at it for a long time before someone said it was part of a woman's body that gave birth to a child.

He looked for Lian Yu for a long time, and when he saw the body, he hesitated for a long time, not daring to come forward.

Yes, she died.

She is indeed dead.

He brought her to Liangzhu well, but let her die miserably.

He has seen the corpses of many people, including men, women, old people, children...all kinds of corpses are just corpses in his eyes.

For the first time, he could not identify the lifeless body with the person he had seen before.

Because this woman had been entangled with him for many days and nights, he knew every position of her body, and he knew how to make her hurt and make her happy.

She was so soft, and she looked like a cat begging for pampering, with its hair frizzy and waiting for someone to smooth it out.

He had indulged in the warmth of her chest, but he really didn't want to accept the reality, saying that the corpse with the knife scratches on the chest was Lian Ju.

All the nails on her hands and feet had been pulled out, and the blood on her bruised fingertips had dried.

Even her long, jet-black hair was cut into pieces, and she had always cherished her long hair.

When she was sleeping soundly, she secretly tied her long hair with his. He knew what she meant, but he just pretended to be asleep.

She died after suffering a lot of torture and pain.

This woman once belonged to him, and there was still his unformed child in her belly.

After being wantonly insulted, she suffered countless inhuman tortures and died.

He always thought that he could protect her by himself, put her in the Ji Mansion, raise her like a canary, and put her in an outer house in the future, just like those young masters in Liangzhu, and there would be nothing wrong with her.

He couldn't allow her to be sincere, but he could always try to give her the rest, as long as he didn't treat her badly.

He took her to meet her mother.

The mother just looked at her and asked someone to send her out.

She didn't like her weak and charming look, and said she was a girl from Goulan. Her mother's eyes were really poisonous. He had never said that she was the girl from Goulan.

Ji Pu remembered the last words he said to Lian Yu. She was holding his waist and drawing circles behind his back.She said, "Did you tell your brother?"

He didn't answer. Even if he didn't say it, there were so many pairs of his eyes in this house that they would have handed him the news already.

Before he left, he said, "Okay, okay, I know."

So impatient.

The night before, she had told him to be gentler and not be so impatient with her. Now that he got off her, he had become this lukewarm again.

He didn't care that much whether Lian Yu loved him or not.

At least he thought he didn't care that much.

But he didn't know why, but his feet softened when he saw the corpse. He pushed away the attendant's hand and stood up from the ground unsteadily.

He tried his best to walk to her.

She closed her eyes and frowned, as if in pain. The color of her lips was no longer so bright and turned a little blue.

Ji Pu prayed in his heart.

At that moment, he wanted God to show mercy and tell him that these things had nothing to do with Shen Sang.

The next moment, he saw half of the yellowed incense stuck in Lianju's ear. It was half burned, and the head was burnt black. The part that went deep into the ear was not burned.

He was very familiar with this fragrance, both in color and taste.

On Luming Mountain, in the Ji Mansion and the Shen Family, as long as it was in his room, there was always burning this kind of phoenix tail incense. The phoenix tail flowers were pounded into mud, agarwood was used as coarse powder, dogwood seeds were used as fine powder, and finally storax was used. Dissolve.

Many times, you can smell his scent without even seeing him.

In the dark, he often uses scent to identify Shen Sang's location and can always find him accurately.

This fragrance was really insulting to him, as if it was put in her ears specifically for him to see, and no one else could tell, but he was the only one who could see it.

He just felt that his mind was blank and he couldn't grasp anything.

Finally, he picked her up, wrapped her in a robe, and walked out of the brothel in the heavy snow.

As expected, the matter was publicized on the streets the next day, saying that the young master of the Ji family had killed a fangirl in a brothel and had to take her out after she died. I had never seen anything like this... what a mess. Everyone was there, and when he heard it, there was no anger left in his heart. The more fierce those people scolded him, the more comfortable he felt.

Now I am sitting in front of Wen Yuan, under the lights, the room is extremely silent, the wind and snow are howling outside the door, and the only sound in the room is the breathing of Gou Yue.

All the servants at the door seemed to have been sent away by Wen Yuanzhi.

The tea was cold, but he didn't ask anyone to come in and change it.

"She is drunk. The wine is more than 20 years old wine, mixed with the flower dew she drank. She will not wake up until noon tomorrow."

Wen Yuanzhi said calmly.

He fell into silence, lowered his head for a moment and shed two tears. Guilt, fear, disappointment, pain, and anger suddenly came over him, and he burst into tears, like a child who had been greatly wronged.

Wen Yuanzhi didn't try to persuade him, but just sat at the banquet with an expressionless face.

He listened to his sad cry, and after a long time, he slowly walked to Ji Pu, held him in his arms, and patted his back gently.

He admired his brother so much, never questioned any of his decisions, and obediently became his right-hand man. But now his brother used his most cruel side on him. He couldn't cry out the pain, but it pierced his heart, and the pain would be buried forever. Inside, it was wrapped in flesh and blood, and one day during the turmoil, a sharp head emerged and pierced his heart again.

He taught him to read the Four Books and Five Classics, taught him how to behave, taught him how to live in officialdom and hide his edge on the battlefield.Brotherhood and friendship.At this moment, he wanted to take the knife that had been given to him and slit his throat.

It no longer mattered whether he loved that woman or not, because he understood that the death of that woman was equivalent to crushing all his dignity on the ground.

All his dignity as a man disappeared the moment he saw Lian Yu's body.

When she was still alive, she always loved to pester him. Even though she was pregnant, she still tried to get him to come to her. Her clinginess made him upset, but the thought of her being so soft and cut into that shape by a knife With this look, his hatred was unbearable.
