Big dream 18 years

The white heroes were busy cleaning up the mess and covering up the blood, Ji Shuliu and Qin Songfeng went back to rest silently.

Qin Songfeng was exhausted in the battle just now, and had already touched the injuries of his hand and foot joints. At that time, he survived the battle, and after the battle, he had a particularly violent attack. When he walked around the main gate of Jingping Garden, he had already knelt down several times.Ji Shuliu wanted to hug him but couldn't use the strength, so he could only hold him.When they returned to their residence, their coats were almost drenched with sweat.

After entering the room, the two of them fell on the bed together and rested for a while before they had the strength to throw off their shoes and lie down.

Ji Shuliu wrapped the quilt tightly, and said to himself: "The room is so cold and gloomy, brother, sister-in-law, are you here again?"

"again?"

"I dreamed about them just now, and they were real." Ji Shuliu thought hard about the meaning of that dream, but couldn't figure it out.Elder Wei and Uncle Fan are still alive, only Wei Ting is dead, why are they waiting for Li Xiao to eat together, and what happened to the meal made by Wang Guitong?Could it be that Wang Guitong has reached overseas alive, reunited with his former brothers, and made a lot of meals to pay homage to the dead?Or everything is illusory, and it is ridiculous to try to explain it in vain.

Qin Songfeng grabbed Ji Shuliu's hand and said, "It's not that it's cold in the room, it's because you have a cold and a fever."

Ji Shuliu touched Qin Songfeng's forehead to test: "I don't have a fever, your head is hotter than mine."

"You're burnt out."

Ji Shuliu stayed for a while before he understood: "You also have a fever, and the fever is still very bad. Also, you have been drenched in the rain all day, how can you not be immune to the cold. I should get some medicine." Said For a long time, my body felt weak and I couldn't get up.

"Don't drink the medicine first, let's talk about it after sleeping."

Ji Shuliu closed his eyes and whispered; "You have known Brother Yan for a long time, why didn't you tell me."

"How could you say that at that time. He was an internal response to Bai Dao, and one more person who knew about it would be more dangerous."

Ji Shuliu nodded slightly: "Second Brother Yan was very close to me when I was young. Every time my eldest brother went out, he would always ask him to help take care of me. He has a kind personality. I didn't expect that he would be so determined to take revenge after going through such twists and turns..."

He didn't remember whether Qin Songfeng answered, or whether he said anything else, and fell asleep in a daze.In the dream, he still maintained a sliver of sanity, wanted to see his elder brother again, and flew across thousands of mountains and rivers in a hurry, and went straight to the Sleeping Star Academy of Drunken Sun Fort.It's not a piece of scorched earth, it's still the same as I remembered when I was young, and it's not in autumn, it's still spring and flowers blooming.But he jumped to the top of the building, climbed the rockery, and searched every corner, but he couldn't find any old people.

I don't know how long he was sleepy in the dream, but Ji Shuliu finally woke up, and the sweat from the quilt seeped into the wounds all over his body, which was extremely painful.He stroked the wound on his right leg that had been tightly wrapped by Li Xiao, feeling sad and oppressed in his chest, he pulled the basin on the ground over and spit out several mouthfuls of blood in it.

He lay softly on the bed, opened his mouth to breathe, recalling that the time he had seen his eldest brother again was less than a day.Yesterday he had tightly held on to his elder brother's arms, but today there was no warmth left in his hands. Those stable hands that protected him forever finally returned to dust in the raging fire.

Qin Songfeng was woken up, stared at him worriedly for a while, raised his left hand which was less injured and stretched it to his face, wiping away the accumulated tears in the corner of his eyes.

It's okay if you don't wipe it, but the more tears you wiped, they couldn't be wiped clean anymore, and they fell onto the bed drop by drop.

The quilt was lifted, and the smell of sweat from the two of them permeated the surroundings.Ji Shuliu suddenly had heart palpitations, propped up his body and held Qin Songfeng down, kissed from the forehead, kissed all over the eyes, nose, cheeks, lips and chin, then took off his clothes and kissed along the neck and chest, while kissing, tears fell on his skin superior.

When the kiss reached his waist, he showed his teeth and took a bite.

Qin Songfeng was stunned for a moment and then understood: "Are you taking revenge?"

Ji Shu's tears gradually stopped, and said in a hoarse voice: "Who told you to pinch me."

Qin Songfeng pulled him back with his left hand, kissed his cheek, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry to hug you in front of Junwen, I can only pinch you."

"You broke it." Ji Shuliu touched the still blue area of ​​his waist, although the small wound had already been covered by other wounds.

"Blame you for being easy to break."

"Fortunately, you're not easy to break." Ji Shuliu held Qin Songfeng down, and kneaded hard everywhere on his body. Qin Songfeng only had one flexible hand left, but he didn't dare to touch Ji Shuliu's wound. It was very difficult to resist.The two entangled for a long time, Ji Shuliu whispered in Qin Songfeng's ear: "You are mine."

"You're mine too."

"No one will give it to me alone."

"What is this called, how can it be given to others..."

"We'll be together for everything in the future, even if you want to jump into the pit, you have to drag me along."

Qin Songfeng finally seized the opportunity, grabbed both of Ji Shuliu's wrists with his left hand and his waist with his right hand, and kept still for a long time.Until Ji Shuliu started to feel drowsy, he suddenly said, "I promise you."

■

The Battle of Jingpingyuan lasted for more than half a month.The Baidao League lost a total of 23 people, and Zui Ri Fort left more than a hundred corpses, almost completely annihilated.

Li Xiao was burned to ashes, and handed over to Yan Er, who had made great contributions after abandoning the dark side, was Yan Er's only request; Shang Tongtian's body and head were separated and hung in the mountains for people to admire, until his flesh and bones were rotten and crows pecked at them; The corpses of famous figures such as Huashan and Taishan were also found by Bai Dao. Depending on how much evil they had done, they were either buried or exposed in the wilderness; Wang Guitong and Tingyun did not know where they ended up.

Together with Yan Er, Ji Shuliu checked the corpses of all the Zuishibao disciples one by one, making sure that there were no traces of Wang Guitong and Ting Yun.But no matter whether they died in an unknown corner after being seriously injured, or escaped secretly, it is impossible to contact the people in the Baidao again. As long as they have no intention of making a comeback, they will disappear forever.

After Qin Songfeng and Ji Shuliu's condition stabilized, with the assistance of nearby Chisu Sect disciples, they took the bodies of Ge Ping and Wen Ruyi, Ge Xingli and other four children home.

Yan Er went with them, put Li Xiao's ashes into a stone box, and buried them in a barren hill near Qiyan Villa with scattered solitary graves.A simple square tombstone was erected in front of the grave as a mark, without leaving a single word.

The group sent the bodies of Ge Ping and Wen Ruyi to the two families and returned to Qiyan Villa.

After resting for a few days, Qin Songfeng, Ji Shuliu, Yan Er, Qian Rui and others went to the Chisumen cemetery together, and then they reached the gate of the villa, but saw Liu Junwen coming back from the mountain with his head drooping, and said dejectedly that Wen Ruyi's mother had died. Time is running out.

It turned out that Wen Ruyi's three little brothers endured all the way, pretending to change their past, until today, taking advantage of Liu Junwen's lax defense, they ran to the gate of Wen's house together to scold Wen's mother according to Wen Ruyi's instructions.Wen's mother has been crying since she got the bad news. She couldn't eat, swallow or sleep for several days. How could she bear such a stimulus? She had difficulty breathing immediately. Although she was revived by the doctor in time, her body was seriously injured and she was already bedridden and dying.

Qian Rui saw that Liu Junwen blamed himself, and comforted him: "How can this be prevented? They can't be imprisoned for a lifetime. It's all because I didn't pay attention to guiding these children to do something serious a few years ago. The generation of children after Shu Liu came will be much better." Junwen, please invite some good doctors to show her, as long as there is a possibility of cure, I will pay for the extra money."

Ji Shuliu was perplexed: "Wen Ruyi's mother is in so much grief, how could she be ruthless to him, but since the love between mother and child is still there, it is said that people's words are good even when they are about to die, why does Wen Ruyi remember her hatred until death? "

Liu Junwen was helpless: "She is not ruthless, but she is indeed a little biased, and she has a very strong temper. It is said that since the last quarrel, she hasn't spoken to Wen Ruyi for several years. This is inevitable. Wen Ruyi fights with people on the street all day long. , his mother is of course partial to obedient children."

Qin Songfeng shook his head: "It's hard to say, maybe his mother was eccentric first, and he was disobedient. He is the second child, and he is easy to be ignored by his parents. I still remember the first time I saw Wen Ruyi When I was young, he was only a few years old, he laughed when he saw people, he had no temper at all, and once chased me to learn martial arts, looking up at me with a small face, he looked very cute, who would have thought that he would end up like this."

After sighing for a moment, they continued to set off, first went to the county town to visit Wen's mother, and advised her to think about the other two children and not to grieve too much; then they went out of the city to Chisumen's cemetery.

What Li Xiao said was indeed true. There was a stone box buried deep between the tombs of Qin Songfeng's grandfather and second grandfather, which contained the ashes of the old castle master Han.A generation of heroes, a man of great respect both in black and white, quietly hid in the cemetery of his teacher's family after his death, and no one knew about it for more than twenty years.

Chisumen invested in the construction of a new tomb here, and planned to bury him solemnly again at another day.

The day was delayed for too long, and everyone stayed in an inn in a nearby county town, and Yan Er lived in a guest room alone.When he woke up the next day, everyone gathered for dinner, except for Yan Er, who called repeatedly at his door but could not hear a response.

Qin Songfeng immediately broke into the door.Ji Shuliu closed his eyes for a while, but when he opened them again, the scene he saw was different from what he had guessed.Yan Er sat on the ground, his feet and his right wrist were covered with blood that had clotted for a long time, his face was pale and unconscious, but his breathing was calm, and his life was safe.

Qin Songfeng carefully carried Yan Er to the bed, and Ji Shuliu treated his wound. At the end of the treatment, his fingers were trembling slightly.The main tendons of Yan Er's feet and right wrist have been severed, and all of them have been cut off, and there is absolutely no possibility of renewal.

At this time, Yan Er had recovered a little sanity, Ji Shuliu asked tremblingly: "The doors and windows are closed, everything is in order, could it be that you did it yourself?"

Yan Er nodded calmly: "Li Xiao and Wei Kaishan are both my brothers and sisters. I reported that I killed Wei Kaishan first, and then betrayed Li Xiao, but because my parents were still alive and didn't want to die, I had to abolish my siblings and express my apologies. "

"You're really hard on yourself."

Yan Er gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "Don't dare."

Ji Shuliu rubbed his eyes: "Brother didn't blame you, why did you do this? They never want to see you hurt yourself like this under the nine springs."

"Everything has its price, and this is what I have to pay."

"No. You're absolutely right."

"I said what I should pay is what I should pay," Yan Er pointed at himself with the only movable left finger, "How can everything in the world be measured by right and wrong. You go first and leave me alone. I have made my wish, and I will hire someone later Take me back to my hometown. If I die on the way, it will be my fate."

Qin Songfeng suddenly said: "I will send a letter to your father and Lingtang now, you go back to Chisu Gate with me first, recover from your injuries, and then I will find someone to take you where you are going."

Yan Er didn't speak, just shook his head.Qin Songfeng directly greeted the Chisu Sect disciple at the door: "Come on, do me a favor and carry him back to the Chisu Sect. Don't worry, brother Yan is good, I won't blame you." Then he turned to Yan Erdao, "I will find a An expert will make you a movable chair. Don’t stare at me, the wallet is on me, so you don’t need to pay it.”

Yan Er stared blankly at Qin Songfeng, before he had time to object, he was carried away without explanation by the Chisu sect disciples who came in.

Qin Songfeng was afraid that the shop owner would see the reporter, so he tore off a piece of his clothes to wipe off the blood that had clotted on the ground.The dark bloodstains dotted around became less and less, and finally they could not be found anymore.

Although Ji Shuliu couldn't bear it, he could understand Yan Er's feelings.Perhaps only by paying such a tragic price, Yan Er can reluctantly start his new life for the rest of his life with peace of mind.

■

On the New Year's Day of the following year, Qin Songfeng took Ji Shuliu out of the house, and first went to visit the graves of Ji Ying and his wife.

To get to the cemetery, you need to pass through the ruins of Jiying's former residence.Over the past [-] years, only sporadic traces of the fire that destroyed the former residence are left buried in the soil.Without Ji Ping or Xuan Chongzi's guidance, Ji Shuliu had no way of knowing who lived in which collapsed house, so he could only walk around and look at the dilapidated charred beams.

The houses are built according to the mountain. Even if they are completely burned down, it can be recognized that there are few houses and the layout is simple.Although Ji Ying is famous all over the world, she obviously never pays attention to pleasure.

When he came to the tomb, "Four Heads" Shi Qiong happened to bring a jar of wine and drank silently towards the tomb.Ji Shuliu understood his temper, stood side by side with Qin Songfeng and saluted him, then stopped talking and went about his own business.

This is the first time for Ji Shuliu to visit his parents' graves. He formally recognizes his ancestors and returns to his family. He knelt down and explained his experience in a low voice, begging his parents for forgiveness.

Shi Qiong listened to Ji Shuliu's confession while drinking, without any intention of avoiding it.After Ji Shuliu finished speaking, he testified decently: "Brother Ji, what he said is true. Although your son does not look like you, he is still a good man. You can rest in peace down here."

There are two tombs here, one is where Ji Ying and his wife are buried together, and the other is the tomb of an old woman who was killed by Li Xiao when she tried to escape with Ji Shuliu in her arms. buried her nearby.Ji Shuliu paid homage to her parents and thanked her grave. He recalled again what Li Xiao had said about the experience of this battle. His eyes were blurred with tears, and he seemed to be able to see the figure of Ji Ying who had fought hard to the death. But no matter how hard he tried to recall Shi Qiong Sending him the picture scroll, the figure is still somewhat similar to Li Xiao.

Soon Shi Qiong left without saying hello.Ji Shuliu lingered for a while, but also left here. On the way, he couldn't help saying: "Senior Shi didn't bring the head."

"Drunk Sun Fort disappeared this year, and he can't find anyone to chop it down."

This time, Drunken Sun Fort might finally truly disappear.Ji Shuliu nodded slowly: "Let's go, and go find Master Pei."

■

The day I arrived at Bixiao Villa was the evening of the Shangyuan Festival.

The person who answered the door went to inform, and soon Pei Yongguo came to the door in person.I haven't seen him for a year, he seems to be a few years older, still wearing a high crown and a broad robe, walking slowly.

Qin Songfeng clasped his fists, and saluted the junior naturally: "Senior Pei."

Pei Yongguo didn't seem to pay attention to Qin Songfeng's movements, but only stared at his face, his eyes gradually revealed a sad look: "I have buried her in the ground. If the master of the second sect of Qin uses force to rob her, I can't stop it with my strength, but please ask Qin The second sect focuses on the love between mother and child, so don't disturb her."

Qin Songfeng was taken aback for a moment before he understood what he meant: "I just came to see her."

Pei Yongguo looked up at the sky: "She has been buried in the ground, do you really want to dig her out?"

This person looks like he has read a lot of poetry and books, but he is a little crazy inside. Apart from himself, how can anyone else think of such a thing?Qin Songfeng didn't care about it, and explained in a calm tone: "It's best to be buried in the ground. Don't get me wrong, senior, I just want to look at the grave. I left in a hurry last time, so I didn't have time to say a lot to her."

Only then did Pei Yongguo nod his head and invite them to enter the villa and walk all the way to the backyard.

The sun had already set, and there were many lanterns in the village, all of which were lit up, and the soft red light dyed the snow on the ground.On Yuanxi, there is a saying of crossing bridges to eliminate disasters and diseases. There are small groups of servants and maidservants scattered in the village, all stepping on the small bridges everywhere, and there are faint laughter.

Pei Yongguo was still worried, and asked Qin Songfeng: "She is your biological mother, do you really have no intention of moving her away?"

"Since she likes your place, a son should of course fulfill her wish."

Pei Yongguo relaxed a little, looked at a fish-shaped lantern beside him and said: "When she was alive, there were lantern riddles to guess in Zhuangzhong every New Year's Eve. Now that she has returned to dust, the rest of the people are no longer so elegant."

Passing through an open space, Pei Yongguo said again: "every late spring, peaches and plums compete for beauty here, and she often plays the piano and composes songs under the flowers. She has a very beautiful singing voice, whether she sings vulgar tunes or ancient lyrics, she can make everyone who hears it intoxicated." Passing a rockery, "After my son learned to walk, he often played here with her, one big and one small, dressed brightly. I still pass by here, as if I can still hear their laughter."

Going all the way like this, bypassing the cell, and arriving at a secluded courtyard on the edge of Bixiao Mountain Villa, Pei Yongguo actually built the graves of the mother and son in his home.

Qin Songfeng tried to ask: "Can I have a few words with her alone? Just a moment."

Pei Yongguo hesitated for a long time before making up his mind: "Your Excellency, please go ahead. I will come to you again in a moment." He slowly exited the courtyard gate.

Qin Songfeng went to his mother's grave and knelt down, stretched out his hand to gently touch the tombstone: "Mother, I finally found you. After you left, my elder brother, senior brother Qian, and elder brother Qu all treated me well, and I have always lived well. I am 25 this year. I live in the rivers and lakes. I have many friends and almost no enemies. I married a wife before, but she thought I couldn’t coax people, so she didn’t want me anymore. Now I live with Brother Ji. The two are relatively reasonable, and this time I won't leave again, don't worry. Seeing the owner of Pei Zhuang, he must be very good to you, so I can rest assured. I still miss you sometimes, and I will pass by in the future. Come to see you."

Ji Shuliu knelt beside Qin Songfeng, and promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will always treat him well."

After a while, Pei Yongguo came back, and his bookboy Yang Nian followed him.Qin Songfeng said: "I wanted to ask last time, he is also surnamed Yang, is he from my mother's natal family?"

"No," Pei Yongguo replied, "She and the Yang family have already broken off their friendship."

Qin Songfeng said sincerely: "I was young when she left, and I didn't know anything about her family. Can senior tell me?"

Pei Yongguo nodded slowly: "Her father came from a poor background and was quite talented, while her mother came from a middle-class family, virtuous and courteous. She is the only daughter of her parents. She was smart and eager to learn since she was a child. Qin skills are very talented, but unfortunately the world is unpredictable. She was only in her early tenth year, and her parents died one after another unfortunately, so she could only live in the house of her uncle. The uncle was jealous of her father's talent, and also hated her father's nobility, and had no affection for her. He even sold her to a rich man as a maidservant in partnership. Later, as she grew older and became more beautiful, when her father bought a concubine, the family collected money to redeem her and sold her to your father at a high price.

"After she married me, she also inquired about the situation of her natal family. Perhaps it was the retribution of heaven. At the beginning, the father was too generous, and several uncles in her clan did not share the spoils evenly. One person was killed in a fight, one was beheaded by the court, and the rest were killed. No benefits have been reaped, and some people have even become beggars."

Qin Songfeng clasped his fists: "I understand, thank you."

Pei Yongguo turned his head to the book boy and said, "If you want to tell the Second Sect Leader Qin about your experience, you might as well tell it yourself."

"Yes." The book boy helped Pei Yongguo to walk on the snowy ground, and looked back at the two graves far behind him, "I am the adopted son of my wife, and it's just a coincidence that I have the same surname as my wife."

"Yoshiko?"

"My own father worked in Bixiao Mountain Villa. Unfortunately, he died young. My mother couldn't bear the loneliness, so she left me and ran away with others. I was not yet ten years old at that time, and I never heard of any other It was difficult for my relatives to live alone in an empty house. When Madam heard about this, she took me to the villa, recognized me as her adopted son, and renamed me 'Nian'."

Pei Yongguo shook his head and added: "Master Qin Er, she still misses you, so she made it up to Nian'er. Today I finally figured out that I am sorry for her. If I had to avoid it and talk about it for more than ten years, maybe she can still stand here and smile at me."

"Mr. Pei! Immortals can't think of this level, so don't talk about it." The voice of the book boy trembled slightly, and he said to Qin Songfeng, "Madam is kind-hearted and spotless. Look. When I was young, she taught me to read and write... She is really a nice person, don't blame her."

Qin Songfeng said: "I don't blame her, she has always loved me very much. Someone told me that although the gathering is short, if we can laugh a lot, it is also very precious." He smiled encouragingly at the book boy Yang Nian, "You Since he is her adopted son, he is also my younger brother. In the future, whether you do business with Mr. Pei or mess around, you can ask me for help if you have any setbacks. But don’t do the forced confession last time. If my mother Still, I will definitely not let you be so reckless."

Ji Shuliu still hated Yang Nian's extortion of a confession, and felt displeased, so he squeezed Qin Songfeng's waist, which was thinner than usual after recovering from a serious illness.Qin Songfeng's smile did not change, pretending not to notice.

The full moon hangs high in the sky, and all kinds of lanterns in the villa have been lit up. They look brilliant from a distance, but delicate and delicate when viewed up close.The cold moonlight and the warm light of the fire shone on Pei Yongguo, he stared at Qin Songfeng's face quietly, the water in his eyes glistened, and every deep wrinkle in the corner of his eyes was moistened with tears.

The author has something to say: According to the existing information, Li Xiao was incinerated by Yan Er, Ting Yun fell off the cliff and disappeared, Wang Guitong disappeared, Wei Lao and Fan Shu were overseas, and Wei Ting died for a long time.

Ji Shuliu's dream: Wang Guitong has cooked the meal, Mr. Wei and Uncle Fan are waiting for Li Xiao and Ting Yun to go home for dinner, and Wei Ting is also waiting.
