Gu Erbai's Pastoral Life

Chapter 402 Going away, it won't hurt anymore

Gu Erbai gave a soft 'um', with a bit of fatigue in his voice, "You go out first, I'm a little tired."

"Here, Ma'am, you can rest for a while. When the host comes tonight, Xiao Taozi will come in and wake you up."

"Ah."

The door slammed softly, and Xiao Taozi who went out looked up at the sky at this time.

It's almost Shen Shi, and it's not far from the wedding night in the bridal chamber, but why does she feel that the madam's mood is getting lower and lower?

"Ah Huang, come here~"

Inside the room, Gu Erbai gently lifted the fiery red hijab, looked at Xicheng at the side, and waved to the big yellow dog wagging its tail at the table.

Ah Huang came over immediately shaking his head, and stopped in front of him, as if feeling the mood of his master, he whimpered twice in grievance.

Gu Erbai gently stroked Ah Huang's head with his palm, he didn't speak for a long time, his dull eyes stared at the withered tree outside the window, sure enough, there was only the last leaf left.

The gentle wind passed by, as if it could be taken away by a little bigger.

"Tell me how sad he must be."

"However, sadness will quickly turn into hatred, right? When the hatred is over, you should forget about it."

"He will find someone who can stay with him all his life, love him, take care of him, never leave him, and stay with him until he grows old."

"His life should have been so radiant, and it cannot be polluted by a speck of dust."

She was talking to herself like this, Ah Huang stuck out his tongue and licked her feet lightly every time, as if to comfort her.

The little girl took out a small rectangular emblem from the bottom of the embroidered pillow, with a smile on her face, gently opened the plastic wrapping the note, and took out the rice paper. On the back was her handwriting.

At that time, he should have discovered the material of this plastic emblem, so he secretly investigated her life experience.

And he stopped because she had already written the answer on the back, and it was because of these two lines that he felt relieved.

——'I come from the bottom of your heart and decide to take root here forever and stay here. '

Such a touching oath, but now, everything has become a thing of the past.

Gu Erbai's teary eyes were moist, he bit his fingertips lightly, and cast his eyes on the wolf hair on the table, covering the old black ink with dark red blood.

——'After I leave, I hope you will get married again, and I hope you will have a happy union for a hundred years. '

……

The evening sun sank into the sea after a few struggles, leaving behind a faintly colorful afterglow, as if it was desperately trying to hold on to something, and refused to disappear no matter what, but gradually, it was still swept away by the dark night. Liuyun stole the light.

When the night comes, occasionally a few strands of cool wind come in through the window along with the fragrance of roses. The coldness invades the muscles, as if to chill the bones of the people.

Xiao Taozi came in and lit the red candle on the candlestick, filled a bowl of bones for Ah Huang, and closed the window for ventilation.

The room fell into silence, the candles were burning, and the silence was unbelievable. Even Ah Huang, who had always loved eating bones the most, couldn't arouse his interest in facing a pot of delicious food at this time.

The deathly silence seemed to be the moment of peace before the storm.

"Wang~"

There was some movement at the door, Ah Huang howled, turned around and looked at the tear-stained and trembling master with his big eyes, trying to howl two more times to appease her.

But Gu Erbai was so nervous that she couldn't control her nerve center completely, she couldn't help crying and trembling, her breathing became heavier, and she slowly stood up, her limbs were all soft.

it's dark……

"Ah Huang, we should go."

At this time, the door of the wedding room was pushed open by a gust of wind.

A muddy embroidered shoe poked in, Ah Huang jumped up cleverly and howled, Gu Erbai covered its mouth.

The person who came gradually revealed that he was wearing a maid uniform, but it wasn't Taozi, and he exuded blood and a faint smell of sandalwood.

She held a brass mirror in her hand, and there was the sound of water rushing in the mirror.

The woman gradually raised her head, and the cold wind slapped her face. The broken face, like peeling skin, began to slowly peel off the original mask, slowly showing a fresh skin.

Extremely familiar.

Gu Erbai tremblingly supported the burning candlestick beside him, and said in a trembling voice, "Jiang, Jiang Li'er."

"it's me."

The man smiled, as bright as the first time she saw it in the Waterside Garden.

"I'm here to help you."

She gently raised the mirror in her hand, and said in a delicate voice, "Look."

Gu Erbai let go of Ah Huang, the big yellow dog jumped up, nimbly grabbed the mirror from the woman's hand, and handed it to the little woman.

The little woman took the mirror tremblingly, and the vision blurred by tears could still clearly see——

The Qingshi River that was still in the mirror began to flow slowly.

From the water plants gradually floating on both sides, to the fishes that started to swim, to the turbulent river in the middle, and finally to the figure undulating in the whirlpool, everything is moving slowly, extremely slowly and quickly,

"Do not……"

Gu Erbai took a sharp step back, the corners of her eyes almost cracked, and she fell under the candlestick. She curled up and trembled, as if she had suffered a huge blow.

"elder sister."

Jiang Li'er knelt down slowly, calling her, and reached out to stroke her head.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt if you leave."

Gu Erbai curled up in the corner of the wall, the tracking mirror tightly clenched in his hand pressed against his chest, he opened his mouth but couldn't speak anymore, as if he was in extreme pain.

"Don't cry, everything will pass."

"You...you let me see Uncle Qing again, and I'll just take a look."

"Okay, but you have to walk faster, the Great Compassion Curse has been activated."

The woman's voice returned to the dust, and Gu Erbai realized that the phoenix crown and Xiapei she was wearing began to disappear little by little.

All that remained was messy hair, a dirty school uniform, and a face covered in dust that was almost indistinguishable from tears.

Before it was too late, she grabbed the tracking mirror, broke through the door, and the big yellow dog behind her also left in the dust.

Jiang Li'er smiled slowly at the back, wearing a fiery red wedding dress, walked to the door lightly, and closed the door bolt.

"I said before that I will definitely marry Brother Qing."

On the waterside promenade where the wind was like a knife, there was a gray figure running wildly in the night, and almost fell to the ground several times, running counter to this world.

On the other side of the bright mirror, a little bit of light was reflected, showing a man surrounded by a noble and dignified man, his face was flushed, he was smiling, drinking and chatting with others, he didn't care about his manners, and he didn't have any barriers.

It seems that he has never lived like today, since he met her, he has changed.

Slowly take off the protective mask, start to understand others like her, start to walk into a new world, start to let go of the cold and cruel self that has been hiding in the hell, and start to become warm and emotional.

That cold and cruel person had already disappeared in that precipitous summer, like a piece of cold glacier, which began to melt in the flames and boil crazily for it.

She has already integrated into his life, and he can't live without her anymore.

……

Finally arrived at the banquet hall, there was a sea of ​​people, shoulder to shoulder, so lively that no one could be seen.

She squeezed in desperately, looking for that familiar figure in a panic, she just wanted to take another look at him, just from a distance.

She was tripped, and in the crowded crowd, her dirty palms were stepped under the steps, which hurt her heart.

"Yo~ I took away a fainted one just now, and here comes another one, who looks disheveled, what the hell~"

"It's probably another owner who is ecstatic with the host. These days, people are very courageous. They even dare to come in to make trouble for the host's wedding. I don't know how many heads there are!"

"No, let me go, I want to see Uncle Qing, I want to see Uncle Qing..."

Gu Erbai shook his head violently, his red hands were trampled and pulled out from the soles of his shoes desperately, his nails were split open, the dark red blood and dust mixed together, it was extremely horrifying.

"Oh, you have a lot of strength. It's disgusting to be so dirty in this magnificent hall. A lowly brat deserves to call the owner, come here, get it out, what!"

"Look at that strange outfit, it's probably from Wanjia Yizhuang. Only Wanjun can design such strange clothes."

"In my opinion, the punishment given to Wanjia Yizhuang by the owner is still too light. The whole village has sharpened its head and wants to get into Gu's house."

"Ouch! Bold little hooves dare to bite me!"

She bit the blocking arm tightly, and the man holding her up slapped the woman's mouth with blood.

Gu Erbai finally broke free, looked up and saw the bright red figure on the second floor, before he could yell, he heard the person in the mirror yell.

"Erbai, Erbai, please save me~help me~"

The river had already begun to surge, and my sister was struggling up and down.

Gu Erbai shivered with blood in his hands, holding the mirror, his teeth were chattering, and big teardrops smashed on the mirror desperately.

"Sister, sister..."

She took one last look at the crimson figure, turned around and was devastated.

Living room on the second floor.

In the crowd, the cup of wine held by the man suddenly slipped, the sake splashed out, and the crumbs fell all over the ground.

"What's the matter, Master, are you not hurt?"

The gathered guests rushed forward to express condolences one after another, chattering and expressing concern.

Gu Yiqing was slightly drunk, a little lost in sanity, looked up at the entrance of the hall, and seemed to see a smear of white disappear in the blur.

Soon the line of sight was occupied by the crowd.

"Master, are you okay? Are you drunk?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? The owner of the game is famous for not getting drunk after a thousand cups."

"Yes, yes, I thought it was you..."

During the commotion, the man shook his head with a smile, picked up his glass and continued to toast, with one hand unconsciously covering his heart.

The palpitation just now felt like being pierced by a knife.

"Hurry up and toast us, the host can't wait to meet the bride~"

"Hahaha……"

　The finale is coming soon, don't you think it's over after you're gone...

　　(Hahaha, did it scare you?)
