Chapter 8 Section VIII
It was many years later that I heard about my mother again from someone else.That's what Aunt Fang said.
"Just count the days for me." I told Aunt Fang.
"What exactly do you want to do, Palace Master?" The witch spit out a few words from her throat.
I won't tell her.
"Even if the palace lord doesn't say anything, the old slave can guess it." Her chaotic old eyes flashed with a strangeness like phosphorus fire, and her hands like dead branches fiddled with the calculations handed down by the stinging wizards for hundreds of years. "It's about the survival of the Zhe clan. I will tell you such an important secret. The city lord loves you too much. Even though she is lonely, she shouldn't spoil you so much."
She guessed right, but I still sneered.
"I've lived a hundred years, you can't hide it from me. Palace Master, your mother didn't hide from me when she broke the door. Although I don't have the chance to watch you grow up, but... …Palace Master, you were so beautiful, just like your mother back then. Your mother did not hesitate to let go of the position of Palace Mistress, and finally married a good man. Palace Mistress, how about you?"
I ignored her, mother, a very distant word.
At that time, Mei Luoyan left just like that.He was in a hurry, and when he got angry, he chased him out.It doesn't matter that the old Taoist told him not to go, don't go.He went anyway, I didn't believe it, and saw white smoke rising from the hillside, covering the figures of the two of them.I yelled too, but the old Taoist covered my mouth.I turned out to be a monster. I always thought he wasn't serious and would come back at night.But he didn't come back. The old Taoist was anxious and dangled around the room, making me dizzy.Maybe he saw that I was also a little dizzy, so he sent me back to the back mountain. I ignored the old Taoist priest and left.But I will never go back to that lonely ancient temple again.I go to him.
Leaving Kongtong Mountain, it was the first time I encountered the wind, flowers, snow and moon in the world.It's a pity that my eyes are empty and I can't see anything.I lay quietly, staring at the dim sea of lights and the lacquered light of rosewood. At that time, I couldn't help thinking, what is this world like?I don't seem to have a chance to know.The floating world is vast, and people's hearts are as slender as gravel, and fluttering like falling flowers.The clouds and smoke pass the rain, leaving no trace.My life has nothing to do with the world, so what is the so-called regret? So I only have his whereabouts in my eyes.Mei Luoyan ran fast, and he chased even faster.But no matter how fast, I can catch up.I am as light as a feather, leaving no trace where I go.But why didn't any of them see me? Every day I hear Huang Sun saying "Mei Mei, Mei Mei, don't be stubborn".But why is he so stubborn?Every day I wonder if I should tell him to really stop chasing him.But, how do I tell him, do I want him to think that I like Mei Luoyan's disfigurement very much?He certainly won't forgive me. I found myself changed.In the past, I didn't have to face such things. When I lived alone, I could do whatever I wanted, and it was straightforward to come and go.But now he would hesitate for a long time for a simple decision, hesitating from Kongtong Mountain to Kongsangling.I can't figure out the cause and effect, and I keep procrastinating for time.Fortunately he didn't know, right? He drank a lot of wine that day, and fell asleep on the table in the small hotel.I finally had the courage to go up to him and take a closer look.I saw a trace of white hair on his head, is he tired?Suddenly felt uncomfortable.This sadness made me think of myself again. After going out so far, chasing all the way, I had nowhere to talk about my hard work, so I simply sat beside him, letting the tears flow into the wine glass, with the thin bad Drink the wine together. "Little girl, what's your rivalry with that drunk? Come here." I saw a few people in black clothes smiling at me in the seat next to me, showing bright red gums.I thought they were ugly, so I screwed them over. "Oh! I'm still shy." "Don't be afraid, come and play with the old men!" I looked around, and the customers in the store stood up one by one, and walked away on tiptoe in a panic.Those big men in dirty black clothes laughed more and more happily, and one of them came to me with a glass of wine.For some reason, I wasn't afraid at all.When that man took my hand, I unconsciously pinched my fingers into his inch. So he fell down and turned into a haggard corpse, the expression on his face was like that of an evil ghost being tortured in hell.Even I was terrified. The rest of the people were also taken aback.After a while, they looked at each other solemnly, then drew out their knives together and surrounded me. I haven't woken up from my loathing for the dead.Their knives pointed at me in a bright circle. Can I grab everyone's wrist and make them die? Suddenly, a sword flashed out and turned into a beautiful circle.Those big men in black fell almost at the same time.I saw blood bleeding from their necks one by one, and I suddenly had a strange impulse. "Scared you?" He put away his sword and smiled back at me. I was suddenly annoyed: "You, did you see me cry?" He seemed a little embarrassed: "I wasn't very drunk at first, and when I saw you coming, I wanted to pretend to scare you. I didn't expect you to be crying, so I had no choice but to - I was afraid that you would be embarrassed, so I had no choice but to pretend, just When you don't see it." But he clearly saw it, and I was so angry that my face burned. "Xiao Ge," he chuckled, "don't be angry." I want to get mad. "Huh?" He suddenly changed his tone, "These people are—— not good!" I also became nervous, and following his gaze, I saw a crescent moon engraved on the tip of the broken knife of those people. At this time, Mei Luoyan actually came out from the ground: "It was me, who was discovered by the people from Lanyue City." Yes, we were all careless.Only then did I see silver arrowheads protruding from the window, the inn was already surrounded by people.Not only those big men in black, but also some with pale faces, evil eyes, and chills on the arrows. I'm scared.For a while, I only knew to hide behind him. Someone shouted outside: "Miss Mei, the castellan's wife ordered you to go back. Otherwise, hehe, the castellan is an old man, and he will miss you very much." A trace of strangeness flashed across Mei Luoyan's eyes, but she said indifferently: "The ones who came here are all tough hands from Lanyue City, so they must not be kind. Cousin, take your little nephew and escape quickly." Will he take me away?I looked at him eagerly.
