Looking for plums under the moon

"Brother really doesn't want to see me again?"

"Just leave it alone."

Shen Luo looked at the man's resolute back, his mind was blank, and his heart sank immediately, until he sank to the bottom of the cold water, surrounded by a dense sense of suffocation.

It seems to have returned to that time... In the dark cave, there is only cold and loneliness.

I don't know how to get out of the inn, walking on the crowded street, there are so many people's voices, as if whispering in his ear, but I can't see anyone in my eyes, only the sentence is floating back and forth in my mind: "Let's leave now .”

In the middle of the night in Jinling, the picture building in the corner of the city was cold, and the watchmen beat the three watch drums under the moonlight.

Ge Shuangjian was sleeping peacefully, when he suddenly heard the sound of knocking on the door.

"Third Uncle, it's me..."

Ge Shuangjian stood up in his clothes, opened the door and took a look under the moonlight, but Shen Luo was standing outside the door.

I saw that the corners of his clothes were still stained with dew, and his eyes were bloodshot.Then he asked in surprise: "What happened? Why are you so haggard?"

Shen Luo said in a daze: "Third Uncle, I want to talk to you."

Ge Shuangjian was startled and doubtful, hurriedly put on his coat, and said in response: "Okay."

Walking towards the gazebo in the garden, Shen Luo remained silent all the way.

After sitting down, Ge Shuangjian pondered for a while and asked, "Did... Gu Yue know about that?"

Shen Luo nodded.

"What...was his reaction?"

Shen Luo opened her thin lips lightly, and spit out two words: "It's okay." After saying that, she just looked at Ge Shuangjian silently.

Ge Shuangjian was stared at furiously by him, wondering in his heart: Didn't he come here for this matter?He said, "Luo'er, what kind of trouble have you encountered?"

Shen Luo lowered his eyelids, frowning in silence.

Just when Ge Shuangjian thought he was unwilling to speak, he suddenly heard him ask: "Third Uncle, have you ever liked anyone?"

Ge Shuangjian was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why do you ask this?"

Shen Luo said lightly: "I want to hear it."

Ge Shuangjian shook his head with a wry smile, "Okay... Who didn't have a romantic life when they were young? More than 20 years ago, I fell in love with a girl at first sight by the West Lake. It's a pity that I have been wandering all year round and have no place to settle. I can't make the promise she wants. So, he married someone else.

Shen Luo was a little puzzled when he heard the lingering nostalgia in his tone, "Third Uncle really likes her?"

Ge Shuangjian let out a piercing laugh, "I probably liked it, at least when I was young."

Shen Luo said in a deep voice: "Then the third uncle just watched her marry someone else?"

Ge Shuangjian's smile faded, "So what if I like it? Could it be possible for her to abandon her parents and follow me around the world?"

Shen Luo shook his head, "If I were the third uncle, I would definitely not let go."

Ge Shuangjian was about to laugh at his simplicity, Shen Luo said again: "I will stay for her, or bring her by my side."

Ge Shuangjian was startled suddenly, recalling in a trance the sweet smile by the West Lake, and the crying question from that person when they parted...

"Shuang Jian, is Jianghu more important or me more important?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "Jianghu."

"Then you take me away, and I will accompany you to wander the rivers and lakes!"

"The rivers and lakes are dangerous, I can't take you with me."

"I'm not afraid!"

"But I'm afraid, you're just an ordinary woman who can't lift a sword."

It was raining, and the rain hit Bihe, and every sound seemed to be the sound of heartbreak.

"I understand……"

Ge Shuangjian was heartbroken watching her gradually disappear into the rain curtain of Su Causeway.

I'm afraid that something bad will happen to you because of me, and I'm even more afraid that I will die before you, leaving you to live alone in the world, lonely all your life...

"Uncle Third?"

Ge Shuangjian suddenly came back to his senses, coughed a few times and said, "You still think too simply."

Shen Luo glanced at him.

Ge Shuangjian was afraid that he would see through his heart, so he hurriedly interrupted: "What's the matter today? Could it be that you just came to inquire about Third Uncle's love history in the middle of the night?"

Ripples appeared in Shen Luo's eyes, and he hesitated for a while before saying: "Third uncle, I like a person, but I annoy him."

"What, what? You like..." Ge Shuangjian looked at him in surprise, "Who is that man?"

Shen Luo looked at the desktop absently, but didn't answer.

"It must be a beautiful girl..."

Shen Luo shook his head.

Ge Shuangjian only thought that he was embarrassed to reveal it, and said, "What have you done? How did you offend him?"

"I lied to him that I lost all my martial arts..."

Ge Shuangjian didn't take it seriously, and said with a tusk, "Why are you lying to her? Could it be that you want to test whether she likes you because of your martial arts?"

Shen Luo still shook his head.

"What else?"

Shen Luo said in a dull voice: "I don't want anyone to look at him or touch him.

Hearing this, Ge Shuangjian smiled and said, "What did I think it was? It turned out that it was because you were jealous..."

"Jealous?" Shen Luo blinked.

"Emotionally, it's normal to be jealous. Could it be that she's going to be angry? She must be thin-skinned. It's fine to coax her more, and it's not a big deal."

Shen Luo said bitterly: "But he doesn't want to see me anymore."

Ge Shuangjian was puzzled, "What's the matter? Although I never got married, it was the same when Shuangjian and Xiaoyu's mother were getting along. Seeing that she had said a few words to other men, Shuangjian pulled his face down, but After all, it’s Huanxi’s lover, after a while they explained it clearly, and they stuck together again and refused to separate. Could it be that the girl you admire is unreasonable?”

"No..." Shen Luo showed a distressed expression.

Ge Shuangjian thought for a while and asked, "Could it be that your approach was wrong? How did you do it?"

"...someone took advantage of him, I wanted to kill that person," Shen Luo's eyes filled with murderous intent, and he calmed down again, "But I remembered that he said he didn't like me killing people, so I let that person go, I only cut off his hands, but I didn't expect..."

Ge Shuangjian's heart trembled, "Luo'er, you are too jealous, no wonder people annoy you, I think it's probably because you scared me!"

Shen Luo looked up at him, "Third Uncle, do you also think I did something wrong?"

Ge Shuangjian stared at him and said, "It's not just wrong, it's a big mistake."

Shen Luo looked at his hands, "But I can't control myself... Every time I see him, I am very happy, and I remember every word he said clearly. I often think that if he is willing , I will take him to a place where there is no one, only me and him, then he will only see me..."

"Would she like it?"

Shen Luo shook his head sadly.

Ge Shuangjian coughed and asked, "Tell me honestly, does she like you?"

Shen Luo's eyes were gloomy, he turned his head away and remained silent.

Ge Shuangjian knew it in his heart, sighed and said, "I see."

"Uncle Three..."

"You just insist, but have you ever really done anything for her? Have you ever asked her what she wants? The most blooming flowers in March, the wild trails by the Yunxi River, the changes of the seasons, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, these are all It's a very beautiful thing, don't you let it fall into her eyes just because you want to monopolize her? What's more, she has friends and family... Luo'er, you are too domineering."

Every word and sentence, like jade beads hitting a plate, exploded in Shen Luo's ears.

Ge Shuangjian continued: "To be honest, if I really married the girl I liked back then, I would definitely hold her in the palm of my hand and do whatever she likes. She likes to eat cakes from Louwailou, I lined up to buy for her for a whole day; she wanted to go to the street to watch a play or juggling, and I hugged her when she was tired; if she got tired of being with me, I would leave without hesitation... as long as She is happy, not what I want, forcing her to suffer with me."

Shen Luo turned pale, looked at him blankly, covered his heart and said, "Third Uncle, why do I feel a little pain here?"

Seeing him like this, Ge Shuangjian felt a little distressed, "Forget it, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. If someone really doesn't mean anything to you, it's better to let it go..."

When Shen Luo heard the word "put down", he suddenly clenched his hands tightly, unaware that his fingertips had pierced into his palms.A picture emerged in my mind: in the vast snow, a man in red was walking with his back to him, gradually drifting away, and finally there was only a faint plum fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose...

Ge Shuangjian was startled when he saw his eyes were red and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and quickly supported his shoulder, "Luo'er?"

Shen Luo grasped his wrist and said fiercely: "Third Uncle... I don't want him to leave me!"

Ge Shuangjian sighed: "As for fate, you can't force it."

Shen Luo bit her lips and said: "From now on, I will not persecute him anymore, and I will not do anything he is not happy with..."

Ge Shuangjian looked at him worriedly, "As long as you reveal your sincerity to her, Third Uncle believes that she will be moved by you sooner or later."

Shen Luo nodded, stood up and said goodbye, "Third Uncle, I'm leaving."

"Where are you going so late?"

"Go find him."

Ge Shuangjian stayed and said: "Don't be in a hurry. You must have not closed your eyes for several nights after traveling all the way. Rest here for one night and start tomorrow."

"No," Shen Luo said melancholy, "I haven't seen him for several days."

Ge Shuangjian smiled helplessly, "Okay, Third Uncle won't keep you either... But I still want to give you a word, if you really like someone, you might as well think more about him, what kind of life is best for her of."

Shen Luo tilted his head slightly, "Thank you third uncle, I understand."

After Shen Luo left, Ge Shuangjian didn't go back to his room. He sat in the pavilion and looked up at the moon, which was as bright and bright as before.

No one knew that he went back to Qiantang again later.The West Lake is still full of weak willows and peach blossoms, full of tourists.Among countless people, he saw that person at a glance.Combing a woman's hair in a bun, arranging flowers on her temples, and beside her is an honest and reliable man.The two of them snuggled up by the lake, they didn't know what they were talking about, they smiled from time to time, showing a pair of nice smiles.

Ge Shuangjian watched the couple from a distance until the tourists dispersed and there was no one else by the lake.He stroked the sword in his hand, and smiled at Bibo under the moon, "Long time no see."

Like whispering to an old friend.

When Shen Luo walked out of Shuying Building, the sky was already bright, and the Yanzifang was brightly lit all night, but Shuying Building suspended its business because of Lin Jue's departure.

At the pitch-black door, someone suddenly stopped Shen Luo, and asked timidly, "Did you come out just now?"

Shen Luo took a look at the person in front of him, only to see that it was a woman dressed in rags, with unkempt hair, dirty skirt and black face.

"Ah."

The woman became excited, "My lord, do you know that there is a girl named Bizhu... no, my lord..."

Shen Luo only thought that she was someone who came to Shuyinglou, so he replied: "I don't know." After speaking, he wanted to avoid her.

Unexpectedly, the woman stopped him again without hesitation, and said anxiously: "I have been waiting at the door for several days, but no one comes out. I just want to ask someone..."

Shen Luo's eyes were still red, and at this moment she was a little impatient to be asked by this woman, "Who do you want to ask?"

The woman's heart skipped a beat when he stared at her, and she murmured, "His name is Le Guling..."

Shen Luo paused, "Who are you talking about?"

"Le Guling, a very special person, people will never forget after seeing him..." The woman said: "Young Master, have you ever met him? Is he okay now?"

Shen Luodao was alert in his heart, "What's your relationship?"

The woman said: "My name is Bizhu, Mr. Le is my benefactor..."

Shen Luo thought for a while, and said: "I know him, he...has a cinnabar mole at the end of his eye."

"Exactly!" A gleam of joy flashed in Bizhu's eyes.

"how did you guys meet?"

Bizhu then roughly talked about the encounter with Ling Guyue before, and seeing Shen Luo's eyes startled, she continued: "After I got home, I was told that Ruan Lang also came with me, but I didn't know what to do all the way. I haven't met him, and I asked people, but they all said that I haven't seen him... Maybe, we are destined to be destined to have nothing to do in this life..."

Shen Luo said: "Since no one was found, what are you doing when you come back?"

Bizhu said: "I promised Mr. Le will come to find him."

Shen Luo looked at her, "Based on what you did to him, I should have killed you..."

Bizhu was startled and took a step back.

"But I can't do that, and I won't do that from now on." Shen Luo suddenly felt that the depression in his chest seemed to dissipate, "You go, it's up to you to continue looking for someone or go home." Don't miss her.

Bizhu looked at his back, and said that this person was weird, but he did seem to know Mr. Le, so she followed him and asked, "Is Mr. Le okay?"

Shen Luo didn't look back, but said: "Don't worry, he has already left here, he is fine."

He no longer cares about the girl behind him.At this moment, he just wanted to go through the mountains and rush to that person's side.

Brother, if you really annoy me, I will let you go. You can go anywhere you want, as long as I can look at you from a distance, that's fine.
