Chapter 39 Chapter Thirty-Eight Flowers Bloom (Part 1)

"Got it, got it..." The cicadas on the tree kept calling, the heat in the air was as thick as porridge, sticky and sticky to people, flowing slowly, and occasionally a breeze was too fast to catch , but it makes people look forward to the next trace even more. "Miss, it's time to take medicine." A childish voice rang out, and I slowly turned my head, a delicate and sweet face appeared in front of my eyes, with ruddy lips, curved eyebrows, and a pair of always smiling eyes. Eye.Seeing me turn around, she smiled and offered a bowl of decoction, "Miss, eat quickly." I smiled slightly, "Thank you, Xiaoyu." The little girl smiled sweetly, but did not leave, just stood there Waiting for me to finish eating, I gave her a funny look, and without saying anything, I raised my neck and drank it in two or three sips... It was so bitter, after eating it so many times, the taste still made me a little sick, and I stretched out my hand Come over, hand me some osmanthus candy, and take the medicine bowl from my hand.

Slowly circling around with candy in his mouth, watching the little girl tidy up quickly, giving me a blessing, smiled again, turned around and backed out.These days, I have limited conversations with her. My throat has been greatly damaged, and it will be considered normal after more than ten days. But if I talk too much, my throat will become hoarse and produce phlegm.Therefore, I am very careful with my voice, I don’t want to leave the root cause of the disease. As for other parts of the body, there is nothing serious. It is natural to be weak. Such a life-and-death catastrophe has taken a severe blow both physically and mentally. , Bedridden in March and finally got off the ground.

How did I get out of the palace, why didn't I die, who let me go, and why, how did I get here, I don't want to ask.I saw Fourth Master that day, and after hearing his answer, for a moment, the fear, fear, grievance, anger, nostalgia, and reluctance in my heart... the fresh or old wounds twitched and hurt as if they had been splashed with salt water stand up. Tears flowed unstoppably, and in the blurred eyes, I could only see fourth master's bloodshot eyes, staring at me for a moment, and I felt dizzy. I resisted all kinds of discomfort and only asked him a question. Question: "Will it implicate you?" Fourth master froze, closed his eyes, put my hand on his face, covering his eyes, and a hoarse voice floated out: "No..." A hot stream wets the back of my hand.My heart relaxed, letting the darkness surround me.It has been five days since I woke up again.

This is a small mountain village, I don't know the location, and I don't want to ask, why bother to make it difficult for the servants who serve me, all the melancholy in my heart is just suppressed by myself.The surrounding environment is very good, with green mountains and green waters, blooming flowers, a few green bamboos swaying outside the window, and even the air has a faint sweet smell.There are very few people who serve me, and I have never seen a male servant. Except for Xiaoyu, who is an old lady who washes and rinses, everyone else seems to be in the outer courtyard and is strictly forbidden to approach the courtyard where I live.

The doctor who came to see me would always check my pulse through a heavy curtain and never see each other. As my illness improved day by day, I became more and more admiring of the Chinese medicine’s kung fu of calling the pulse. How can a doctor dare to make a diagnosis, let alone prescribe a prescription? During this period, Fourth Master only came twice. The first time I was still in a daze, I just vaguely felt that someone caressed my forehead and ears carefully, and the hand being held was also cold and hot.The second time was the day after I was fully awake, chatting casually with Xiaoyu, listening to her talk about my parents and younger brother.

Xiaoyu, who was talking and laughing, suddenly bowed his head solemnly, I paused, and turned my head subconsciously, Fourth Master was standing at the door, the sunlight outside the window shone through the bamboo leaves, and sprinkled spots on his body.I sat there in a daze, watching him walk over step by step, standing straight in front of me, so close that I could clearly see the shallow scratches on his vest. The room was so quiet that there seemed to be no sound of breathing, only the bamboo leaves outside the window "swirling" in the wind, and the breath of Fourth Master slowly surrounded me, and I was suddenly bewildered and unbearable, and my heart jumped up suddenly , I forced a smile, and cleared my throat again: "I'm fine, thank you..." Before I finished speaking, my world was spinning for a while, and I was embraced by the fourth master, and I wanted to struggle subconsciously. A suppressed tremor suddenly came to me. "Xiaowei." A roar came from above my head.

I stopped immediately, his painful feelings made it difficult for me to stretch out my rejecting hands, I wanted to hug him for comfort, but my rationality told myself that would not work, and my hands just hung in the air with five fingers vain, just like me heart... I quietly leaned against Fourth Master's arms, feeling the breath that I thought I would never feel again, for a long time... I closed my eyes hard, told myself that enough was enough, and secretly took a deep breath: "Yinxiang...how is he?" The arm around me stiffened, and the warm fortress surrounding me seemed to be surrounded by Knocking down a wall, an icy breath rushed in instantly... The arm slowly loosened.

I sat there stiffly with my head bowed, and I didn't have the courage to look at Si Ye's face. I heard the sound of him walking away, and I don't know how long it took, "He's not good..." I thought I wouldn't get it at all The answer floated over from fourth master.The voice was as light as floating dust, but it hit my heart hard, no good... I suddenly raised my head and looked at Si Ye's pale back, what's wrong... The fourth master who was standing by the window looking at him with his hands flicked did not know what he was thinking, as if he felt my gaze, he turned his head slowly, and I stared straight into his eyes without blinking, the fourth master's face darkened , a smear of pain slipped through the eyes, the eyes became darker and darker, and said four words "the walking dead" in a low voice...

The four words "walking dead" were like sharp arrows, one after another shot through my heart, I sat stiffly on the chair, I don't know when the fourth master went out, I don't know when the little fish came in, I don't know the sky At night, I don't know it's dark, there seems to be a black hole in my heart, and any emotional thoughts that arise are instantly sucked in, leaving only darkness that cannot be filled to the bottom.That black hole is called Yinxiang, I repeat the name over and over again, this fool... Sitting obsessively all night, Xiaoyu came in cautiously the next day and told me that my master was gone... Seeing that I was not moving, he said in a low voice, that my father left a letter.Xin... I moved my body, hiss... it hurt so much, a feeling of numbness quickly hit my limbs, and I couldn't help frowning.The little fish on the side was so busy that he came up and rubbed it for me.

"Where's the letter?" I asked in a low voice, she was taken aback, and hurriedly took it out from her bosom, and handed it to me.I fixedly glanced at the light yellow letter paper, wanted to stretch out my hand, but hesitated: "Just leave it here and go out." Xiaoyu respectfully put the letter in front of me. She looked up at me, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't dare, and finally blessed herself, turned and went out.I rubbed my face, and a hot friction instantly burned my face. I felt that I was a little awake, so I slowly stretched out my hand to pick up the letter.I probably knew what Fourth Master wrote in my heart, and a heat flowed through my heart. I couldn't help but grasp the clothes on my chest, took a few more gentle breaths, and pressed the pain back...then opened the stationery.

I knew that Yin Xiang had rushed to Qianqing Palace frantically to ask Emperor Kangxi why he wanted to give me his death. It wasn't until a loud slap rang out that the room fell silent.The fourth master who couldn't stop him guarded outside in panic, and didn't know what the emperor had said to Yinxiang. In the end, he just saw Yinxiang coming out of the inside in a daze. He didn't say a word, just bowed to the fourth master, and then left the palace and galloped away. The fourth master hurriedly asked someone to follow him, but he couldn't find anyone again. It was three days later when he saw him again .Yinxiang entered the Sibeile mansion unkempt, saw the fourth master and said "fourth brother" hoarsely, then passed out, and then fell seriously ill. The imperial doctor said that he was exhausted, mentally and physically exhausted. The illness lasted for a month, and fourth master was so anxious that he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't tell him that I was still alive.The fact that I bribed someone to save me is a big secret. Emperor Kangxi may just pretend not to know, but this layer of window paper can't be broken by anything.Until one day, a girl named Qixiang brought a package of things to Yinxiang... Since then, Yinxiang has been getting better day by day. Every day, he is not doing exercises, but reading books. He even jokes with his fourteenth elder brother who came to visit him. A drop of water fell on the letter paper, the word "Yinxiang" was typed soaked, and the ink was smeared. I turned my head, and hot tears rolled down my cheeks, slowly getting cold... It turns out It's called "The Walking Dead"... Since I read Si Ye's letter that day, I earnestly eat, exercise, rest, and sleep every day... Although Xiaoyu was a little surprised, he didn't dare to ask, let alone Si Ye She took good care of my food, housing and transportation, and she was naturally happy to see me getting better day by day. My words became less and less, except for the necessary words, which were replaced by smiles on weekdays.Fortunately, because I hurt my throat before, I didn't talk much, Xiaoyu didn't think it was different, but just babbled in front of me alone, so I just smiled and listened.Time flies, autumn leaves are falling in a blink of an eye, the north wind is picking up, and the night is getting longer and longer. In the silence of the night, Xiaoyu knew that I went to bed early, and went to rest early. I sat quietly in the tent by myself, and took out the thin letter paper from under the pillow. I had already folded the letter from Fourth Master. Fold and fold up the rough edges.Slowly opened it, the eyes were dim, everything was blurry, but the words on the paper still emerged clearly... "The walking dead..." I read these words silently, they were like the sharp awl of an iron ax, bit by bit, every word on this letter was chiseled into my heart... Eye sockets became hot again When I got up, I closed my eyes fiercely, Yinxiang's name flashed across my heart, but fourth master's face floated out. I closed my eyes gently, it seemed that I was going to feel sorry for him again.Why do I have to be forced to hurt him every time, before and now...but it's better to hurt one than both.I couldn't help but smiled wryly, it's nothing more than self-deception. As soon as this thought flashed through, all my internal organs turned upside down, and I suddenly wanted to scream, cry, lose my memory, and... I sighed softly, carefully folded the letter paper in my hand, Gently tuck it under the pillow and lie down slowly.The silk pillow was slippery against my face, it was cold, I closed my eyes, let the tears on the pillow dry and wet... There was a bright light in front of me, I couldn't help frowning, and stretched out my hands to cover my eyes, the light was a bit dazzling. "Miss, are you awake?" Xiaoyu walked in with a smile, "Look, it's snowing like goose feathers, and it's bright outside." I lay quietly for a while, and let Xiaoyu take care of me Woke up.A cold air came in vaguely, I shivered, and Xiaoyu hurried to the smoker to add a few pieces of charcoal. I put on my outer clothes, walked to the window, and gently pushed the window sash open, flakes of snowflakes fell in immediately, the wind was cool, but it brought the unique fresh taste of snow, I felt the snowflakes quietly The feeling of brushing the face is refreshing.Xiaoyu walked up behind me nimbly: "Miss, it's cold, so I feel better, but don't catch a cold anymore..." I looked back at her big eyes, which were full of concern and sincerity, so I smiled and nodded, turned around, walked to the desk and sat down, watching Xiaoyu busy closing the window. "Xiaoyu, go and prepare some side dishes, and..." I paused, "Is there any wine, just light ones are fine." Xiaoyu was startled, and asked hesitantly: "Miss, do you want drink wine……" I smiled and shook my head, Xiaoyu looked confused, but seeing that I didn't want to explain anything, she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and went down after being blessed.I sat quietly for a while, stretched out my hand to take Zhang Xuetao's sticker, and slowly rubbed the ink, dipped the brush into the ink finely, hung my wrist in the air, but couldn't write for a long time... "Miss, the food and drink are ready, I'll bring them in for you." Xiaoyu's voice sounded outside the door.I paused: "Ah, let's put it in." The curtain was lifted, and a gust of cold wind blew in. I couldn't help shivering, quickly wrote a few words on the paper, and picked it up again. Blow dry gently. "Put the table under the window, you can go down, you don't need to wait." I slowly folded the paper in my hand, "Ah, yes." There was a rustle behind me, and the occasional sound of porcelain clashing, "Miss , you are weak, so don't drink too much..." Xiaoyu's murmured voice came from behind, I nodded slightly, footsteps sounded, and then there was silence.I waited for a while, stood up and walked to the bed, stuffed the paper in my hand under the pillow, smoothed the pillow marks, and then turned and walked back to the window. There are four refreshing small dishes, and there is a small cooked copper hot pot in the middle, which is "gurgling" and steaming, which makes people feel warm. Small wine glasses of the same color.I looked around and took my daily cup of tea from a few tables beside me. I filled the two glasses and put one of them on the opposite side. I didn’t know how many times I turned the wine glass in my hand. I reached over and the glass in my hand collided with the opposite wine glass lightly, "Happy birthday to you, All wishes come true." He murmured something, his ears couldn't hear it clearly, but he understood it very well in his heart. Every year at this time, Yinxiang will go to celebrate his birthday.He loves to be quiet, and he never sets up banquets. He just accepts congratulations from his family members and servants at home every year. If there is no Yinxiang, his life will be deserted.And every year at this time, I stay at home and drink by myself... But this year, I am still like this, what about Yinxiang, what about him... Smiling self-consciously, took a deep breath, and exhaled heavily: "Whether you know it or not, I hope that what you have will not be lost, and what you want will definitely be obtained." I smiled and raised my glass, and rushed to the opposite side I saluted my wine glass, and was about to bring it to my lips, "I know..." A hoarse voice sounded behind me. My back stiffened, my hands shook uncontrollably, and a few drops of wine spilled out.In a trance, a figure has walked behind me, bent down, the breath on the body still smells of the cold outside, but the breath is extremely hot on the back of my neck. He stretched out his hand and picked up the wine glass opposite me, touched mine, raised his head... and lightly lit the bottom of the glass at me, I closed my eyes, brought the glass to my lips, and drank it in one gulp , I don't know what it is, my mouth is so astringent that there is only a bitter taste... As soon as I changed my hand, I also rushed behind me and lit the bottom of the cup. "Ah..." I let out a low cry. After a while of dizziness, I sat safely on his lap, subconsciously trying to struggle, and when I looked up, I saw fourth master's eyes shining, just like the time he teased me I had the same eyes as before, and there was a hint of joy in my thin lips, which were as hard as iron, forming a gentle curve. I haven't seen it for a long time. As soon as my heart softened, I was quietly held in his arms. The fourth master was obviously very excited. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, the hand stroking my hair was trembling a little... My face was pressed against the buttons of his vest, it was cold, and he felt a little cold. With a rapid heartbeat, thinking about him at this time tomorrow, I felt as if someone had severely grabbed my heart. I quietly reached out and grasped the corner of his clothes. "Celebrate my birthday, huh?" I nodded, and felt fourth master sigh lightly, hot air sprayed on the top of my head, and then a warm kiss fell down. "Why are you here?" I asked softly. "I have an errand, I stopped by to see if you are okay, here... I have wronged you." Fourth Master's voice came vaguely from above my head, and there was unprecedented gentleness and satisfaction in his voice... Ever since I knew him, there seems to have never been such a warm and peaceful relationship between us. Everything in front of me is like a dream, but this dream will be broken by my own hands, just... I shook my head vigorously in my heart, let I don't want to be so realistic for the time being... I shook my head lightly, my hair was accidentally pinned on his coils, and while reaching out to untie it, I whispered: "This place is very good, much better than the underworld. " "Hey..." Fourth Master let out a laugh, and squeezed my hands even harder: "Now I feel that you are really okay, still alive, by my side..." He paused, and put his mouth together Next to my ear, a dry kiss fell on my ear, "Xiaowei", and another kiss fell, "Xiaowei..." He murmured my name softly, as if to put all the patience in these years , helplessness, and depression all poured out.Accompanied by light kisses one after another, I could only close my eyes tightly, and felt that all my hot blood had turned into ice floes, flowing slowly and coldly in my body, and colliding with each other...
