Hua Xu Yin: City of Desperate Love

On that day, the weather was fine, and we left Jiang Country and entered Zheng Country through Canglan Mountain.

Mu Yan intends to leave the next day. There is an urgent matter in the Taoist school that calls him back, and hopes to pay him back in the future.

In fact, he doesn’t owe me anything. If he remembers it, he should understand that the account is calculated like this: I owed him two lives first, and now I saved him one life, only to offset the previous life he had saved. He still owes him a life, I want to pay him, not him, but he obviously doesn't remember. In fact, this is nothing, the eighteenth change of the female big, now I am very different from three years ago, I still wear a mask on my face anytime, anywhere, it is reasonable that he can not recognize me, there is nothing to lose.

I think, I have fallen in love with him for three years, and I never thought that we could see each other again in this life. God let us meet again, but there is a real lack of virtue between life and death. But this is also good. For him, nothing happened and nothing ended. For me, everything has happened and ended. The affection hidden in the heart now is just the obsession of the dead soul, not something that this world should have, too much entanglement is really meaningless.

But I can't forget it. When I close my eyes, it will appear in my mind. It's all the figure of him bowing his head and stroking the piano in the Yanhuishan cave, the silver mask, the dark green robe, the fingers flicking the silk strings, the sound of the piano under the moonlight is like The distant stream, gurgling.

I think I have to ask him to leave something for me, anything will do, as a thought.

Summer is long, and it takes a long time to enter the night. I went to him nervously with a jug of wine, pretending that I didn't have any distractions at all. I did this entirely to find a wine buddy to enjoy the moon, and he was selected because we are more predestined tonight.

He sat in the courtyard of the inn to enjoy the coolness, with two or three wine utensils on the stone table, pouring and drinking. I nudged over and put the pot I brought aside, and glanced at him: "It's so boring to drink alone."

He looked up at me: "Are you here to drink with me?"

I stared at the white porcelain wine glass in his hand: "Mu Yan, let me play a tune before leaving."

He glanced at me in surprise, but didn't say anything, just put down the cup: "What do you want to hear?"

I think about it: "There is nothing special to hear."

He made a gesture to Zhi Su who was not far away, turned his head to look at me and said, "Then..."

I sat down next to him and interrupted him: "Then play me everything you know."

"..."

Zhi Su quickly took the piano and placed it in the pavilion of the inn.

Around the pavilion, the proprietress was planted with thousands of sunflowers. Large areas were bathed in moonlight, turning from white to red, spreading all the way, like haze wrapped in clouds. I lowered my head and looked at Mu Yan. He was sitting in the haze. His face with his mask removed was rarely good-looking. His slender fingers were placed on the strings at random, and he looked up at me with a smile: "I want to know how Play every song for you, and you won’t be able to sleep tonight."

I didn't speak, but I couldn't help thinking in my heart, even if you want to play for a lifetime.

The piano sounded, still in a tune I had never heard before. I lay on the three-legged couple beside me, propped my head and asked him: "Mu Yan, you don't have a wife yet?"

There was no pause in the music, and he tilted his head slightly and said vaguely: "Huh?"

I said, "Would you like to marry a dead man as your wife?"

He stopped his plucking fingers, and the moonlight reflected on his face, the depth of light was indescribable.

I plucked up the courage to sign with him: "The girl looks good and has a good personality. The elders like her. Marrying to your family will never cause problems with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Moreover, she knows a lot about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and will never be outside Shame you in front of people. In addition, although the rice is not well done, you can do some things, that is, it is already dead..."

I praised myself so much. I felt shameless. The more I praised, the more I couldn't continue. I listened patiently to my statement. After a long while, I couldn't say, "You are talking about marriage?"

I don't know if my marriage to him is considered a marriage, but there is no better definition, nodded. He can only nod vaguely with his cheek supported.

He looked at me patiently for a long time, picked up his hand and plucked the strings again, shook his head and said, "I really don't understand what you are thinking, maybe I want to match up for a certain late sister."

I looked at him with piercing eyes and said, "Yeah."

The silk string made a trembling sound, and he smiled: "It's really like something you can do, but our Mu family can't have a back. Thank you for your kindness."

I went back to the three-legged couple again and closed my eyes. The wind was soft and gentle, but I felt cold all over. Although he understands the different ways of life and death, sometimes, it is unavoidable to have a fluke and want to try it. There may be a different ending, but it just makes myself more disappointed.

How I wanted to tell him that the masked girl in front of you was the little girl who was almost killed by a snake on the mountain when the geese returned to the mountain. Now that she has grown up, she has always wanted to betroth herself to you, looking for you from heaven and earth. I have been looking for you for three years. But how can it be said that this mask girl is actually a dead person.

This night, I was lying on the three-legged table, accompanied by the sound of Mu Yan's piano, not knowing when I fell asleep. Listening to Jun Wei, Muyan took me back to the room in the fourth watch. But when I woke up, he had left. Just like the night the geese returned to the mountain three years ago, we always parted without knowing it. But there was no particular feeling, except that the place where the shark beads were placed seemed to be empty.

The place to go is Sifang City, the capital of the State of Zheng.

Upon hearing this name, I felt that the city should be constructed according to some profound geometric principles. In fact, everything is a misunderstanding. The name of the city is everywhere, because the people in the city prefer to play mahjong. I, Jun Wei, and Xiao Huang, the three of them rushed to this city intensively. Because Master Jun Fei Ge passed on the book, he said that he helped me with the business in the city. This time, the patron status is quite special, and he lives in the Palace of Zhengwang. Lady in the house.

There are many mountains and waters in Zheng State, which means that most of the time we can only travel by boat, but the existence of Xiao Huang has reduced the number of boatmen who dared to pull the three of us across the river drastically. You need to pay several times more to be eligible to set foot on the other party’s thief ship. Considering that you can't just roast Xiao Huang like you did with horses, there is no other way than to endure blackmail.

But then the entanglement became less and less. If things go on like this, it will inevitably not be able to reach the destination smoothly. Jun Wei has no choice but to force the boatman: "If you want money, I will kill you. You can't pull it. If you don't pull it, I will let the tiger kill you." What happened was that this method was exceptionally easy to use. We were unimpeded all the way, but when we approached our destination, we were finally reported and fined a large sum of money by the local government, and that was our last entanglement.

At that time, there were still fifty miles away from Sifang City. It was conservatively estimated that it would take three days to walk, but we were already penniless. Jun Wei means that he has recently created a novel on the road, following the popular sadomasochistic route, which should be very marketable. You can try to sell this novel to make money. Xiao Huang and I are very happy, thinking that Liu Yinghua is bright, and we have set up a stall next to the official road with great interest.

The result was not sold.

Later analysis, the whole reason is that there is no **** illustration in the book. But we did not have this kind of consciousness at the time. It just feels desperate. After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that the only feasible way...only to let Xiao Huang graze on acting contrary to his nature.

It was in the process of forcing Xiao Huang to do the art. We came across Bai Liqi who came back from the mountain to gather medicine. This is a very important figure. At that time and even long afterwards, we didn’t know that he was actually born in the Holy Family of Medicine. Saint Baili Yue's only nephew. Of course, this also has his own reasons, because he really couldn't stand his last name when he appeared on the stage. He didn't hold a folding fan in his hand or a long sword at his waist. He did wear a white robe on his body, but it was gray. One piece of black, not at all ecstatic, and the broken bamboo basket on the back can not make people produce something like "Wow, you look like a superior" or "Wow, you see a superior descendant." Lenovo.

That scene happened to be the setting sun and the birds came home. We set up a booth and set aside the grass-rooted wild vegetables that were dug up everywhere, and Xiao Huang was tied by the meaning and put it next to the wild vegetables.

Farmers working in the nearby fields carried their farm tools home, passing by and seeing this formation, they stopped and watched, and soon formed a big circle.

Under the attention of everyone, Xiao Huang bit a carrot in pain, and the farmers were amazed.

At this time, Bailizhen squeezed into the crowd with all the hardships, knelt down and naturally picked up a very large white radish from the pile of wild vegetables, raised her head and asked Jun Wei: "Hey, how do you sell this radish?"

Jun Wei: "?"

Bai Lizhen studied for a while, and didn't know what message this expression turned into. She immersed herself in choosing for a long time, and picked up a carrot again: "Hey, I buy two white radishes for you. Can I give you a small carrot?"

I watched Jun Wei's eyebrows jump twice, and after the jump, I raised my hand expressionlessly, and pointed to Xiao Huang, who was gnawing on carrots, to show that we were performing acrobatics, not selling carrots.

Bai Lizhen took a closer look and was startled: "Wow, buy a carrot and give it to the tiger?"

I watched as Jun Wei's eyebrows jumped twice, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "I didn't give it to the tiger. The tiger didn't give it."

Bai Lizhen understood the carrot in her right hand and said, "Oh, it's okay. If you don't give it to the tiger, give me a small carrot."

Jun Wei continued to pull the corners of his mouth: "No radish will be given."

Bai Lizhen raised the white radish in his left hand in surprise: "I didn't let you give it away for free, I paid, I bought it too much, I didn't let you count the money, so I asked you to pack an extra radish... …"

I guess Jun Wei is already a little bit intolerable. Before I finished thinking about it, I saw a gray white shadow flying out of the crowd with a parabolic slam. Jun Wei put his eyebrows on his brows, and his far eyes slammed Bailizhen, who was thrown out of the crowd by him. , Under the drowsy sunlight, he clapped his hands sternly, and wiped my sleeves after the shot.

This is our first meeting with the youngest nephew of the Baili family. For the first time, Jun Wei showed the most masculine side of human nature.

Two days later, we made up for the travel expenses to Sifang City, barely able to live in the shop. This is what I think. It is enough to make a little money at this moment. It is not suitable for Xiao Huang to overwork. As long as he gets into the city, there are opportunities to make money everywhere, such as making Jun Wei sell himself. But he was reported again.

The government checked it out, because we got it completely in accordance with the law. We really did not violate the criminal law and could not start, but they were not easy to return empty-handed. In the end, they fined us for the crimes of forcing tigers to do business and cruelty to animals, and the punishment was considered humane. At any rate, I left a few copper bars for accommodation.

Jun Wei said: "This must be a good thing that sissy kid did." He was talking about Bailizhen. But I don't think this has anything to do with him, because I really suspect that he actually doesn't know whether tigers eat meat or vegetarians. Maybe he just thinks tigers are born to gnaw carrots.

I thought that we could not rub shoulders with Bailizhen in the vast sea of ​​people. Jun Wei and I didn't care much. We expected that on the evening of the fourth day, everyone met on a narrow road and returned by different routes in a small inn outside the Sifang City. In addition, Jun Wei must also sleep with him.

It is also helpless to have such fate, because the scale of the inn is really too small, and there is only the last room left when we arrive. It is conceivable that for the sake of my reputation, Jun Wei can't live with him, but if he doesn't live with me, he can only ask him to go to the wood house or the old willow tree outside the inn. It is cruel.

Considering that the ruining of my reputation would be destined to be beaten to death by Master Jun, even though he was reluctant in his heart, Jun Wei could only pack his bedding and squat in the wood room overnight. Xiao Huang and I looked at him with compassion. Unexpectedly, the straw mats were rolled up. When passing by the stairs, a cloud of gray white shadows suddenly came over: "Oh? Are you the one who sold carrots the other day? What's wrong with you?" We can see that this person It is Bailizhen.

The innkeeper shrank at the counter and explained to him while noticing Xiao Huang's movements. He looked back for a while, bypassing Jun Wei and approached me: "So there is no room? My room is quite big, or I can make do with you to live in the same room, we will pay for the room, hehehehehe." Before he could answer, Jun Wei didn't know what kind of posture to adopt, he had silently inserted among us, and smiled kindly at the hey Bailizhen: "Okay, let's have one." The hey Bailizhen hummed.

Everyone had a meal, so they are familiar.

After eating, both go back to the room to sleep.

Before going to bed, my eyelids twitched so much that I always felt that something would happen. My instincts have been very keen since I was young, and if I had a foreboding that something bad would happen, something would really happen to respond to the situation anyway.
