I, the orphan of a traitor, is in demand

Yi Xuan filled a bowl of old ginseng soup and fed it to me spoon by spoon.Yi Xuan is a little different tonight, the soup has bottomed out, Yi Xuan put down the bowl, "Yiqiu, I have to leave for a few days." After a moment's delay, I pretended to be relaxed and replied: "It's almost New Year's Eve, it's time to go home I went to see my parents. It’s just that the old capital is far away from Wanzhou, and the snowy road is difficult, so you should be careful all the way.”

Yi Xuan said: "Don't worry about me, take care of yourself, tell Wen Lan if you need anything, I'll be back soon."

I said, "Are you leaving tonight?"

Yi Xuan said: "Leave tonight."

I said, "Be careful all the way."

Yi Xuan said haha: "Don't worry Yiqiu, I know kung fu." He took out a jade pendant from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand: "Look at it when you miss me, I'll be back in a month at most. "

Therefore, the capital is far away from Wanzhou, and the road is difficult to travel in the snow.Originally, it took four days to ride horses from Wanzhou to Gudu, but now it may take a few more days, and the time of one month is really tight. "Except for the days spent going back and forth on the road, you don't have extra time to accompany Lingtang. Now that you have been out for so long, you should spend more time with them when you go back this time. I don't care, as long as you can come back before the snow melts." .”

Yi Xuan seemed to have something to say, he hesitated for a moment and only said: "Wait for me to come back with peace of mind." That night, Yi Xuan rode away with a dozen or so servants.I was tossing and turning on the bed alone, and finally got used to his presence. Now that I'm gone, I have to get used to being alone again.The wind and snow outside the house were whistling, and without Yi Xuan's heat around me, I felt the cold of winter snow for the first time.That night, I probably didn't fall asleep.

Wen Lan doesn't like to talk very much. I don't know if it's because he's not talkative by nature or because of his job as a guard. He always keeps his voice muffled.Yi Xuan is gone, now it is quiet, I feel back to the past, but there is no sign of Yi An and Yi Chun.

I didn't have much appetite at first, but Wen Lan persuaded me to take two more bites.When the time came and drank the decoction, Wen Lan accompanied me to the yard to look at the winter plums for a while.The little maids and servants in the house are busy getting rid of the old and welcoming the new, as New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are approaching, what should be arranged still needs to be arranged.Even if Yi Xuan is not around, this festival has to be celebrated as usual.

On New Year's Eve, the servants prepared a table of delicious dishes, and I couldn't lift my chopsticks to the table full of dishes by myself.Wen Lan said: "Young Master Yiqiu, is it because you are not feeling well or the food is not to your liking?" I shook my head: "In the past, on New Year's Eve, Yi'an would cook a large table of dishes. Although it is not as rich as it is now, I am very satisfied. A table is not big, and there are always people there. It's too deserted now. Wen Lan, please sit down and eat with me."

Wen Lan hesitated a lot, but finally sat down.I had a particularly hard time eating this meal.I wanted to watch the New Year with them, but Wen Lan kept whispering in my ear, and I didn't insist on the medicine, so I sat in the hall for a while and then went back to the room.When I was in a drowsy sleep, I vaguely heard one or two firecrackers.

Early the next morning, I wanted to bring a gift to Zuixianglou, but Wen Lan stopped me as soon as I left the room. There were a lot of reasons in my mouth, and I couldn't refute them at all.Usually, Wen Lan doesn't talk much, but now everything makes sense, without panting.Others say that two people will become alike after being together for a long time, and now I believe it.Yi Xuan's mouth is so eloquent, Wen Lan shouldn't be much worse.

Wen Lan talked a lot, but still couldn't stop my willingness to go to Zuixianglou.Firstly, I have not seen Liu Banyan and Liu'er for many days, I really miss it; secondly, during the Chinese New Year holidays, I should be walking around, not to mention Liu Banyan and Liu'er helped me a lot before, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges, ungrateful... I can't do things on behalf of Qiu.

I struggled with Wen Lan for a while, and finally Wen Lan regressed.It was really cold outside, I, Wen Lan, wrapped me in two jackets and added a hand warmer before letting me go out.In the severe cold winter, I wrapped it into the warmest zongzi.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Zuixiang Building.Wen Lan helped me out of the carriage, then turned back to hug the gift I had prepared.Walking to the door, I knocked on the door.After a while Liu'er came to open the door, and when he saw me, his voice choked up: "Young Master Yiqiu..."

I smiled and said, "Six children."

"Come in, it's cold outside." Liu'er hurriedly invited me into the house, and led me to the room where I used to rest.Liu'er made a pot of tea and handed it to Wen Lan and me: "This is the snow water from this year, young master, taste it quickly." I took a sip, it was sweet in my throat, and the aftertaste was fragrant.Tea is good, water is also good.Liu'er asked, "How does it taste?"

I smiled and said, "Only Liu'er can brew such good tea." Liu'er was ashamed, "I think Mr. Qiu actually picked it up." Putting down the teacup, I suppressed my smile, "Sister Banyan Still won't see me?"

Liu'er hurriedly chattered: "Young Master Yiqiu, don't say that, isn't it yesterday's New Year's Eve? Sister Yan watched the New Year's Eve yesterday, and dealt with many things, so I didn't go to bed until dawn this morning." Seeing Liu'er was in trouble, I also It's not good to bother me any more.Liu Banyan didn't want to see me, and he couldn't help it.I said, "Liu'er, the upper two boxes are for you, please give me the lower ones for Sister Banyan."

Liu'er thanked her again and again.The thermos in my hand gradually lost its temperature, so I got up to leave.Liu'er sent us to the door and watched me get into the carriage before turning into the house.This day passed again, two people ate, and one person was in a daze.The only difference is that today after I was in a daze, I played "Guanqiu Ci".

The days are extremely tough, and besides playing the piano, painting, and taking a nap, there is another way to pass the time - trance.If Wen Lan doesn't call me, I can sit for a day.I don't know what to think, but I feel like I have thought a lot.

The snow outside has begun to melt, and the temperature has also dropped a lot. The old saying is always true.I often wake up cold at night, and when I wake up, I can't fall asleep again.Every time I had breakfast and drank the decoction, I would go to bed and sleep until the afternoon before waking up.

After that, I became more and more lethargic. I slept all day long, but I still couldn't wake up.Wen Lan called a doctor, and the doctor took my pulse and murmured, but I didn't listen at all.I only know that I will drink another bowl of medicine from now on.

"Yiqiu."

"Yiqiu."

I heard someone calling me, and the voice was very familiar.When I opened my eyes, I saw that I was in a mountain forest, and the forest was filled with fog, so I couldn't see clearly what was in front of me. "Yiqiu, Yiqiu." The call continued, it was Yi'an's voice, I was anxious: "Yi'an, where are you?!"

"Yiqiu, Yiqiu..." Yi'an's voice became weaker and weaker, I stabilized my mind, and followed Yi'an's calling.I shuttled through the forest, and from time to time, one or two drops of dew would hit my forehead and the bridge of my nose. The cold feeling penetrated into the bone marrow, and I couldn't help shivering a few times.

I followed Yi An's call to a cliff, and saw Yi An sitting on the cliff, holding only an old vine in his hand. "Yi'an!" I broke out in a cold sweat immediately.Yi'an clutched the old vine and sweated profusely, "Yiqiu, save me quickly."

I hurriedly said: "Yi'an, don't move, I'll come to rescue you right away." I lay down on the ground, stretched out my hand and slowly approached Yi'an, and when I was about to pull to Yi'an, the gravel on the edge of the cliff rolled down again and again. , the old vine attached to the stone also fell off: "Yiqiu—!" Yi'an grabbed the old vine and fell straight down, finally disappearing into layers of mist.

"Yi'an!" I woke up suddenly, and the room was pitch black.Only then did I realize that it was just a dream, I raised my sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on my forehead.The door creaked: "Young Master Yiqiu!" Wen Lan came quickly, the sword in his hand showing a little sharpness.I said, "It's nothing, it's just a nightmare."

Wen Lan lit a lamp, and there was a glimmer of light in the room. He stepped forward and pulled my quilt: "My lord, lie down quickly, it won't be light until two hours later." No more, "Wen Lan, do you have any news about my brother?"

"Young Master Yiqiu, don't worry. If there is news about Dr. Yi'an, I will tell you right away." Wen Lan put the sword aside and comforted her softly.My heart was still uneasy, that dream was too real, "I just dreamed that Yi An fell off a cliff, do you think something really happened to Yi An?"

"Don't Mr. Yiqiu know that dreams are reversed? In the dream, Dr. Yi'an fell off the cliff, which means that he is very safe now, so you don't have to worry." Wen Lan covered me with a quilt, explained a few words, and then He extinguished the candle and went out the door.In the second half of the night, I finally couldn't fall asleep. After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, I wrapped my clothes in the dark, put on a cloak, and quietly left Yifu through the back door.

On such a winter night, apart from me, there is no one on the street, and only half of the red lanterns hanging in the streets and alleys are still shimmering.The street was very quiet, so quiet that I could hear myself panting, and when I finally got to Zuixianglou, I heard a few human voices.Looking from a distance, the Zuixiang Building was brightly lit, and there was constant laughter. The heavy snow did not cover up its excitement, and Liu'er should be busy at the moment.

I pushed open the door, and a gust of hot air hit my head.I stepped into the room with one step, turned around and closed the door, there were still about ten people in the hall drinking big wine.I put out the fire of the lantern, only to hear Liu'er call out: "Young Master Yiqiu." I greeted him and went up to the second floor.Liu'er ran over: "Come here so late, what's the matter with Mr. Yiqiu?"

I said, "Where's Sister Banyan?" Liu'er's complexion changed slightly.I knew that Liu Banyan didn't see me on purpose, I went through all the past before and found nothing wrong.I didn't mess with Liu Banyan, this time she avoided seeing me, the reason for this was either her or Yi An.I was really uneasy, staring at Liu'er and said, "Is it impossible to fall asleep again?"

Liu'er's eyes drifted, and he hesitated: "I'll go and have a look." I grabbed Liu'er and said, "I'll go by myself, I think you are tired too, take a rest when you have time, don't get tired Already." Liu'er laughed dryly, "That's good."

Liu Banyan's room was at the innermost part of the third floor. I went up one more floor, turned two corners, and came to her door. There was a light on in the room, so I raised my hand and knocked on the door.There was a creaking sound from the two doors, and Liu Banyan stood in front of me in a red dress, her fragrant shoulders were exposed, and her face was a little haggard. Seeing that it was me, she was a little panicked.I said, "Sister Banyan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you've lost weight again."

Liu Banyan moved slightly to the side: "Come in." This was the first time I entered her room, so I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.Liu Banyan closed the door and poured me a cup of hot tea: "Dongshiliuer has been handed over to me, I would like to thank Second Young Master Dai."

I said, "Sister Banyan, when did you and I become so divided?" Liu Banyan smiled and said, "Where is the relationship?" chill.
