Murong paper on the snow mountain

"What I said...is telling the truth!"

"It's useless, Zhi." Xie Lv looked at him, with a hint of distress on his face: "Your feelings for me have been clearly written on your face since the first day I saw you. I Although I don't remember you, but just looking at the way you ruined yourself indifferently, I know how much you hate me, how much you want to forget me, and how much you hate me."

"I, I... I have, I have forgotten you a long time ago! I have sworn that I will never trust anyone in this life. I will be alone... I will be alone for the rest of my life, and I will not Being cheated again is better than being with anyone! People in this world are too sinister, I don't want, never want... never want to—"

"It's better for you to be alone... than with anyone?"

Xie Lv snorted, pulled his arm and lifted his sleeves, revealing his scars all over his body: "Look at how you tortured yourself when you were alone?! See for yourself, you can live a good life alone Is it? You can't do it at all!"

"Don't worry about it!" Murong Zhi withdrew his hand angrily: "Even if, even if you can't live a good life alone, even if you become a ghost, even if you starve to death and freeze to death on the street, you don't need to worry about it! You have always, always You will lie to me, everything you promised me, and you will lie to me in the end!"

"Really?" Xie Lv said blankly, "I was that kind of person? Is that a liar? If so, would you like a liar, are you stupid?"

"I'm stupid!" Murong Zhi gritted his teeth, "I was... just stupid! Otherwise, I wouldn't—"

"What do you mean 'before' was stupid?" But Xie Lv sneered: "Aren't you stupid now? If you weren't stupid, how could you make yourself so embarrassed? Alas! I think I am a dignified second rank Official, you should be quite smart, how could you marry such a brainless woman?"

"That's all, it's not okay to go on like this. My wife, I have to take good care of you as a husband. The following are the family rules of our Xie family. You can listen carefully."

"..."

"In the future, you will live in my house obediently, eat and take medicine on time. As for your piece of jade, it will be temporarily stored with my husband. If you are obedient, I will return it to you later. Wherever the lady wants to go, she must follow Wei. My husband said, I'll go with you; don't hold back what you want, just let me know."

"As for how my husband owed you in the past... Anyway, I don't remember. So I won't pay back the bad debts I owe you."

"..."

"I will treat you well in the future. I won't have three wives and four concubines, and I won't talk to that so-called 'King Ning'. If you want to beat me and bite me again, it's up to you. If I scream and hurt me again, I will be a puppy."

***

Winter is gradually entering, and the days are getting colder day after day.

Murong Zhi was dressed in a warm white fox fur, standing on the city wall overlooking the newly harvested fields outside the city, squinting slightly, the sun shining warmly on his body.

He has been in Lingyue City for more than a month.The soldiers downstairs carrying food and grass into the city seemed to have waved at him just now.

Obviously, not long ago, no one dared to look directly at the terrible scars all over his body and face.Within a few days, they were all smoothed out by Xie Lu. Everyone knew that this was the General's treasured person. Not only was he not afraid of him, but he was eager to curry favor with him. .

In the days when I was a "ghost" in Mangdang Mountain, I endured hunger, cold and skin ulcers every day. I was in it at the time, and I didn't feel much pain.

It wasn't until he was taken care of every day at Xie Lu's Mansion, but he only felt pain once or twice a day when applying medicine, that he realized that the days before him were simply unbearable to look back on.

He fled from Prince Liang's Mansion that day, originally, he wanted to listen to Xue Palace.

Even if he knew where he went, if Wei Sanyi wanted to find him, it would be easy for him.

But that snow-capped mountain was his only "home" in this world, and he always felt that that place should also be his grave.

The only "home" has already been destroyed by fire.Only the ruins remained, his room, his clothes, the collection of books and treasures in the entire back mountain, and all the memories he cherished, had long been looted by the greedy King Cheng's army.

This world was so cruel that it took away everything that belonged to him.Everyone around him left, not even leaving him the last shelter.

Murong Zhi actually didn't understand why he was still alive.

With nowhere to go, exposed to the hot summer sun, his body was rotten and bloody. He thought he would eventually rot into a pile of bones, but the wounds just festered and scabbed over and over again.During those days, he was like a walking dead, as if he never thought about the past or the future, just like that day after day, crazy.

But he wasn't crazy after all.Under the dim moonlight that day, when he saw Xie Lu's face clearly again, all the memories, all the torment and unwillingness seemed to be like a tidal wave that wanted to slap him to death on the shore, unable to breathe.

That person seemed like a catastrophe that he was destined not to escape.

But under the dim moonlight that day, after being swept by endless pain and anger, the aftertaste of falling into a dreamland was a faint sense of peace of mind.

Ever since he recalled the old dreams of the past, Murongzhi would occasionally think about the difference between himself and his master Wei Sanyi.

Seems to be basically the same.

With an unknown number of lifespans, kinship and love have also been annihilated, as if destined to walk alone in endless darkness forever, lonely and helpless forever.Every time I meet someone who might be with me, I feel like I have grasped the last straw, even if I try my best, I still want to keep someone by my side.

However, it is destined not to keep anyone.So is Master, and so is he.

Those who left were "betrayed" in their hearts from then on, and they couldn't help but resent them, and couldn't help but want to hurt them.Wei Sanyi has lived in this world, I don't know how much longer than him, he is used to being cold, disappointed again and again, and finally despaired.

It even ended up being like that.

Murong Zhi once thought that maybe one day, he would become what Master is now,

Perhaps, it would be good to be like that.

No more expectations.For those you like, just use violence to stay by your side.If he is disobedient, he will be locked up and punished for ten or twenty years, not afraid that he will be disobedient in the end.

Even Xie Lu, as long as Murong Zhi is cruel enough, it is impossible to escape from his grasp.

But he never got to that point.

Murong Zhi thought, maybe he has been hovering on the edge of the cliff.One step forward is purgatory, but every time you turn your head, you will find that there is always a little bit of candle light shining behind you.

Always like it.So to him, that person became the last ray of hope that could not be extinguished in the dark night, which obviously made people feel more painful, but also ignited a faint warmth in the extremely heavy heart.

After all, he didn't want to leave.

It's just half a piece of broken jade, how can you really coerce people to keep it?

There have never been insects on the snow-capped mountains, and Murongzhi has only seen the phrase "moths to the flame" in books.But how could he be more familiar with those desperate attempts to catch the last hope time after time, time after time?

Xie Lu is still Xie Lu, nothing has changed, even if he has become Wei Sanyi's little zombie, even the past has been taken away by that person.

The way he smiles is still brighter than anything else.

Murong Zhi feels that life is very good now.

Staying by Xie Lv's side, fed, clothed and cared for, all the love and hatred in the past are like passing clouds.

The current him doesn't need Xie Lu to love him, he doesn't need him to promise to be with him, he doesn't want anything extravagantly, and he doesn't need to continue to doubt who he misses in his heart.

When he looked at Xie Lu, he was just looking at the child he raised.Just hang around by his side like this, tell him about the past, he listens carefully, and is willing to believe and rely on himself, that's enough.

He himself didn't expect that that person's high-hanging "don't pay it back" that day suddenly solved his years of heart knot.

All the anxiety and worry about gains and losses in the past were settled after being clearly informed of the "two clean-ups". Suddenly, I no longer complained, feared, or longed for, and felt relaxed.

fair enough.

No past, no hatred, nothing to think about, just stay with him for a while.

"My lady, umbrella! You are not well yet, you can't bask in the sun like this!"

Even if one day he thinks of King Ning again.

"My lady, what are you looking at?"

Even at that time, everything is still in the mirror.

……

On the city wall, oil umbrellas shaded the area.Xie Lv's smile while holding an umbrella overlapped with the countless smiles in Murong Zhi's memory.

This person really has a big heart... He used to be dying and jumping up and down every day, but now he is dead and alive again, his heartless appearance has not changed at all.

"If you keep calling me 'lady' all day long, I'm going to turn against you."

"Hey, Ah Zhi, don't be angry. I used to be alone all the time, but now I finally have a wife, so I'm happy."

"I told you, I didn't have that kind of relationship with you."

"Why don't you say it? Didn't you say that we have worshiped?"

"Let's not talk about it, it was fooled many years ago, you are not sensible, it doesn't count at all."

"How can it not count! If Ah Zhi thinks it doesn't count, let's hold a big event in Lingyue City?"

"You do it! Anyway, I don't feel ashamed anymore," Murong Zhi gave him a blank look, "If you think there are not enough gossips in the city, if you haven't heard enough people say that you are a great general, pestering people all day long Whether you are a man, a ghost, a ghost or not, you can make trouble as you like!"

"Ah Zhi really wants to do it? Then I really asked Ronaldinho to ask someone to prepare?"

"you--"

"Hey," Xie Lv smiled, and pulled his sleeves when he came up: "It's hard to find you, but I know what you are hiding here! It's time, come back to the room with me, it's time to apply the medicine, stretch A stab at the head is still a stab, don't think about running when it's time to take the medicine all day long."

"...What kind of medicine to apply, after all, the scar will be fixed."

"Nonsense!" Xie Lv said with a face of experience: "Ah Zhi, you don't know that when I was forced to go to Canglan City to get a soldier talisman by the chief of the guard, I didn't believe in the evil of 'controlling corpses' at all. Try to see what will happen without medicine. So I stretch out this hand to bask in the sun every day, and I don’t soak it in the medicine bath. After a few days, it rots so badly that you can see the bones, but now you see! The slightest trace It's all gone!"

He stretched out his slender left hand, without any scars, and showed it to Murong Zhi repeatedly.

"So, Ah Zhi, you can rest assured. If you take ten thousand steps back, even if you really can't get rid of it, your husband will never divorce you."

Immediately was rewarded with a violent chestnut.Xie Lv held his head, smiling with no regrets: "Did you often hit me like this before? I think your action... seems quite skilled."

Murong Zhi sighed, and was dragged down the tower by him, passing soldiers busy carrying bows, arrows and stones on ladders.They saluted Xie Lv one after another.

"Last night... you went out in the middle of the night, did you come here?"

"Well, I dare not hide it from Ah Zhi. I built the city defense here with the soldiers, and they can all testify!"

"It's just that I can't sleep because of the noise, and I don't care about you... Is there going to be a war recently for such a construction project?"

Sheryl nodded.

"There is news that the remnants of King Cheng are gathering to counterattack. After all, my Lingyue City is the most important town in the southwest, and I will have a battle with them within ten days and a half months. But don't worry, A Zhi, I can't lose."

"Arrogance before a fight is not a good thing."

"It's not my arrogance~ If I really want to fight, with this Canglan Department, even if I give me three or two Chengwangs, I will be wiped out long ago. How can I give them a 'counterattack'?" Xie Lv looked around. There was no one, so he leaned into Murong Zhi's ear and whispered, "I was really helpless, so I intentionally delayed until today."

"drag?"

"Well, procrastinate! Ah Zhi, think about it, if I don't procrastinate, I will wipe out King Cheng early in one fell swoop, and then what will happen?"

"..."

"My only ability is the original title of 'General Zhenyuan'. Under this title, I led the old troops to fight against King Cheng. Because of this, they dragged me out of the coffin. Then once Without King Cheng, tell me, what is the use of King Liang keeping my corpse?"
