Second-generation ancestor
Chapter 33 Love Chapter
After the hottest season, the weather is getting cooler.
Bai Hao retreated his white clothes, and Song Dongyang also reluctantly threw away those flashy and gorgeous attires. The few of them looked like ordinary sons, and they were really low-key.However, upon closer inspection, all of them are tall and straight, with a proud temperament.Even Corning seems to have opened up a lot in recent days.
Several people drove for half a day, and finally saw a restaurant post station. Song Dongyang got off the horse, and immediately collapsed on the stool, unwilling to move.
He looked around, it was more than ten miles around, it seemed that this was the only place to rest, and the surroundings were already full of people.There are many business trips, and when they are seated, they are all yelling and shouting.Listen carefully, but what are the prices of rice, flour, grain and oil?
Xiaoer came to the table, Song Dongyang was already hungry, and was about to pick up his chopsticks, but was stopped by Ye Shun, and said: "Can't you be more careful?" Song Dongyang smiled "hehe", grabbed the bowl and continued to eat, gobbling it while eating. Said: "I'd rather be a dead ghost, besides, don't you have it? When you don't drink, it's reliable!"
Ye Shun looked disgusted, and glanced at Bai Hao. Bai Hao calmly picked up his chopsticks, took a bite of noodles and said, "Brother Ye, if you can't even cure this little poison? What do you want?"
"The raccoon of the same feather!" Ye Shun took a mouthful angrily, and said with emotion, "The raccoon of the same feather!"
Kang Ning said: "Brother Ye, I understand this idiom, but what kind of animal is this 'raccoon dog'?"
Ye Shun pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to pat Kang Ning's head and said, "Boy, can you listen to the key points? The key point is 'Yiqiu'."
Song Dongyang suppressed a smile, Bai Hao wished he could bury his face in the bowl, Kang Ning said again, "Why 'Yiu'?"
Bai Hao's complexion became even worse. Song Dongyang stretched out his hand, grabbed Kang Ning's ear, pulled his head in front of him, rubbed it vigorously, and said, "It's not good to eat noodles, let you ask nonsense!"
Suddenly, the surroundings seemed to be getting quieter and quieter.The air suddenly froze, leaving only a gust of wind blowing through the leaves, rustling.
Bai Hao put down his chopsticks, and said coldly, "Thank you for letting us have a bite of safe rice."
He slapped the table with his right hand, the table shook his sword, drew the sword backhand and dodged again, three dark darts hit the tree trunk in front of the table.Song Dongyang shared a fan and beat one person's head: "Who is here?"
One person yelled: "The traitor of the demon clan! Everyone gets it and punishes it!"
Song Dongyang frowned, dragged Ye Shun away and said, "Isn't it easy for me?"
Ye Shun had a bitter face: "It's more sad than killing you to ask you to change into a coarse cloth, and then asking you to put □□ on it, wouldn't it kill you?"
Song Dongyang pushed away, and said angrily: "If you have the ability, let Bai Hao paste it, a black sticky mass sticks to your face, and see if he doesn't want your life? Isn't it, Brother Bai!"
Bai Hao flipped his wrist, and the blade of the sword flew. The person holding the sword was dazzled, and he turned sideways: "Yes!"
Ye Shun yelled: "Rivers of a feather, don't worry about it now."
Song Dongyang saw that Kang Ning was holding a small sword, and he was striking well. The next two people were already faintly unstable when they stabbed out. How many times have I taught you? Go forward when you should advance, and retreat when you should retreat. Just like at this moment, messing around is a waste of time, of course you have to run!" After finishing speaking, he picked up Kang Ning, got on the horse in a hurry, pulled the rein, and the dust flew up.
Ye Shun and Bai Hao followed, and the three ran west along the path.
The horseshoe clattered and disappeared into the mountains.One person looked at the direction where the three steeds disappeared from afar, and said, "Quickly report, everything is going well."
At nightfall, a few people happened to enter the small town of Yanbian, Song Dongyang said: "Yin City is in the east, and Nanping is in the west. I'm afraid this road will not be peaceful."
Bai Hao dismounted, took the reins from Song Dongyang, and led his horse together, saying, "Don't worry, we'll take the trail, we just need to bypass Qingcheng, and then go down the river, half a month's journey, we can reach the south Screen."
Ye Shun said: "This town is not big, I'm afraid there is no inn."
Song Dongyang got off his horse and said, "If you have money, you can turn ghosts. How about that family? You can tell from the door that it is the wealthiest family in this town."
Several people looked in the direction Song Dongyang pointed. There were red walls and vermilion gates, and on both sides stood tall elephants with proboscis. Room.
The butler was in a brown robe, with straight eyebrows, eyes and nose, and looked polite. He ordered the servants to lead the horses to the stables, and led everyone into the backyard. When they arrived at the house, they clasped their fists and said, "My family officials are not here, only the madam and the young master are left. It is inconvenient to meet guests late at night, Madam ordered two upper rooms, young masters, please rest early."
Farewell to the butler, and several people entered the room separately.
Pushing open the door and looking around, the small room can be seen to the end.Song Dongyang jumped onto the bed, blinked at Bai Hao, and patted the side of the bed again.
Bai Hao turned around to close the door. He felt a faint movement in the darkness. He listened carefully, but it disappeared suddenly. He frowned and closed the door.
Song Dongyang slapped the bed twice again, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said with an evil smile: "Brother Bai, a spring night is worth a thousand gold!"
Bai Hao stuffed the sword under the pillow, rolled onto the bed, hugged Song Dongyang under his body and said, "So anxious? Then I will definitely kill you today!"
Song Dongyang's eyes were full of tenderness, as if they were about to melt into water, his eyes froze, showing a fierce look, he pulled his arm, and then swung Bai Hao hard, and Bai Hao was caught off guard. Folding his arms together, he said, "Hero Bai, do you still think I'm the young master of the Song family who has no power to restrain you? Today, for your sake, you didn't immediately kill those bastards. How about it? Should it be rewarded?"
"Reward, it must be rewarded." Bai Hao exerted force on his legs, and Song Dongyang's strength was immediately removed, and Bai Hao was crushed under him in an instant.
Song Dongyang said aggrievedly: "You murdered your own husband!"
Breathing heavily, the two got close, Bai Hao's ears blushed, and he muttered, "You just need to clean up."
This person was a little serious, and the indifference on his face disappeared completely. At this moment, he added a trace of shyness, which made Song Dongyang's heart itch. He blew lightly, exhaled like blue, and said softly: "I don't know today, Mr. Bai How will the master deal with me?"
Hearing this, Bai Hao's face instantly turned red past the vermilion gate that he had just passed, and he immediately let go of Song Dongyang, leaning his back against this person, and said sullenly, "Sleep!"
Song Dongyang: "...???!!!"
Just as he was figuring out how to increase the fire to make the raw rice cook, he heard Bai Hao say again: "Go to sleep, I'm tired." His tone was cold, and he lost all interest.
Song Dongyang lay down on his body, his heart was full of depression, he carefully recalled the scene just now, from sweetness to loneliness in just a short moment, staring blankly at the seemingly empty space above the bed curtain, he couldn't help feeling a lot of regrets, Thousands of troops and horses roared past in my heart, and while running, I shouted: "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold!"The more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt, and gradually a lot of anger arose, which made him feel uncomfortable all over!
When his consciousness was dying, Bai Hao suddenly turned around, hugged him in his arms, bowed his head and pecked lightly, and said, "I'm sorry just now!"
dying!Song Dongyang's mind buzzed, and he bit his lower lip in a very honest and hopeless manner, this time he was really determined.
Bai Hao said: "I'm just a little worried, the Bai family...and my father."
One surname, one party's grievances.This is also the reason why Song Dongyang still bears it in his heart even though he loved this person badly.
He wrapped his arms around Song Dongyang's waist, buried his head on the side of Bai Hao's neck, and said, "If one day, you and I are really enemies, what should we do?"
Bai Hao said: "There won't be that day. Although you love to play around, you have an upright character. No matter what happens to you, I will never ask a question. I will trust you to the end."
Song Dongyang said: "If your father forces you to be my enemy, what should you do?"
"There is a steelyard in my heart, and justice is in people's hearts. If there is no distinction between right and wrong, black and white, I will reverse the right and wrong."
Song Dongyang asked again: "If I really did something unfaithful..."
Bai Hao covered Song Dongyang's mouth and exerted force with his hands, wishing he could rub this man into his arms, and said, "I would like to do it for you, to atone for your sin."
Song Dongyang was very depressed, but was warmed up by Bai Hao's embrace, his thoughts wandered, and he came back here after a while, in a haze, he heard Bai Hao say: "If you just asked me to switch, what would you do? "
Song Dongyang's tone was indifferent, and said: "What does the world have to do with me? Good and evil are up to me, and you should follow your heart."
When day and night meet, the fog is thick and the dew is cold, and the breath of death is the strongest. Burning, killing and looting are just right.
There was a puff of smoke, and Song Dongyang suddenly felt uncomfortable with the burning in his throat. He opened his eyes, and vaguely saw a person not far away who kept waving at him, calling for his baby in his mouth. His eyes were wet.
He walked towards the thin woman step by step, carefully confirming: "Mom, is that you?"
From a long time ago, he didn't dare to recall, for fear of calling the wrong sentence, the heart-wrenching feeling was vivid in his mind, even in his dreams, he never forgot it.
The woman handed the candied haws in her hand to Song Dongyang, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, looking very pretty: "Dongyang, this is your favorite candied haws, mother bought it for you."
Song Dongyang took the candied haws and said, "Mom, I'll eat it right away." He opened his mouth and bit one, without chewing or swallowing, put it in his hand, looked at the sugar-coated hawthorn in his palm, it was crystal clear red, and said, " Mom, I used to cry and make trouble for eating candied haws, but you always said that my teeth were bad and you wouldn’t let me eat them, but you know? Actually, I don’t like sweets at all, I just like the way you nagged me and cared about me. Dad doesn’t I like you and me together, saying that I am a concubine who is pampered in the arms of my mother, how can I have a great future? So since that day, I have been arranged to live in a remote courtyard, and I can only look at it from a distance during the New Year and holidays. You take a look."
Song Dongyang raised his head, looked at the woman with expectant eyes, and murmured: "So... at this moment, even if I know that you are not her, I dare not let this dream end."
The woman shook her head, the love in her eyes receded, and she said coldly: "My dear boy, it will be fine in one go, it won't hurt."
The dagger in his hand sank into Song Dongyang's heart at some point, and the blood flowed down the exposed blade and fell drop by drop on the ground.
Song Dongyang opened his mouth slowly, and called out "Mom!" A tear rolled down the corner of his eye, there was no piercing pain, but a chill all over his body.
"Dongyang! Dongyang!" The familiar and hasty shout was deafening, with waves of warmth lingering in the body, "Song Dongyang!" The last shout was so loud that people couldn't pretend to be dead.As soon as Song Dongyang opened his eyes, he saw Bai Hao looking at him nervously, with a pair of white and black eyes, staring bigger than a cow.
Bai Hao held Song Dongyang in his arms tremblingly, and complained: "Are you a fool? You have lost your inner strength to protect your body, and you still have to rush forward step by step. No matter how you scream, you won't be able to wake up!"
Song Dongyang grinned and said rascally: "There was a handsome young man in the dream who insisted on undressing to seduce me. How dare I just walk away, and I have to see enough!"
"Always laughing and laughing to hide the fragility in your heart. Promise me that you will never be so brave in the future. It's not that no one loves you in this world, it's not that no one cares about you, and there will always be me in the future."
Song Dongyang buried his head in Bai Hao's arms and remained silent, full of emotion.
Like duckweed, wandering on its own, with bad luck, unfortunate family, walking alone, and alone, so I prefer to pretend nothing happened. After a long time, I have convinced myself that I am born with a strong and impregnable wall, but I did not expect that now I will be accepted. After Bai Hao stripped and saw through, Song Dongyang repeated silently in his heart: It's not that no one loves you in this world, it's not that no one cares about you, and there will always be me in the future.He thought this should be the most beautiful love story in the world.
Bai Hao retreated his white clothes, and Song Dongyang also reluctantly threw away those flashy and gorgeous attires. The few of them looked like ordinary sons, and they were really low-key.However, upon closer inspection, all of them are tall and straight, with a proud temperament.Even Corning seems to have opened up a lot in recent days.

After finishing speaking, he picked up Kang Ning, got on the horse in a hurry, pulled the rein, and the dust flew up.
Ye Shun and Bai Hao followed, and the three ran west along the path.
The horseshoe clattered and disappeared into the mountains.One person looked at the direction where the three steeds disappeared from afar, and said, "Quickly report, everything is going well."
At nightfall, a few people happened to enter the small town of Yanbian, Song Dongyang said: "Yin City is in the east, and Nanping is in the west. I'm afraid this road will not be peaceful."
Bai Hao dismounted, took the reins from Song Dongyang, and led his horse together, saying, "Don't worry, we'll take the trail, we just need to bypass Qingcheng, and then go down the river, half a month's journey, we can reach the south Screen."
