outside the city
The cold winter is coming, and the snow is flying.
A simple carriage was parked on the side of the official road, and a few black horses beside it were burying their heads in the withered grass covered by snow.
It has snowed heavily for a few nights recently. Fortunately, the official roads are all gravel roads, and there are many horses and carts coming and going, so the snow is not deep, but the jungle trails on both sides are already exposed.
"Let's stay, there's no need to give it away." Ji Yunshu lifted the curtain and said to Li Shiyan and Luoyang who were standing outside.
"It seems that the Chinese New Year is coming, and it's not too short of a few days. Let's wait until the New Year." Li Shiyan's face was full of reluctance.
Luoyang echoed: "Yes, I have finally been promoted to Taichang Temple Shaoqing, and I plan to receive a salary to treat you to a meal."
Ji Yunshu smiled warmly: "No, we want to get back to Dalin before the end of the year." When she said that, she glanced at the scene sitting in front of the car.
Li Shiyan sighed and said sadly, "As soon as we say goodbye today, I don't know when we will see each other again."
"Fate... we will see you again."
"Hopefully!"
Ji Yunshu thought for a while and said, "In fact, Miss Zhu is a very good person, don't let her down."
Li Shiyan's face turned red, a little embarrassed, glanced at him, and said, "How can you talk about her so well!"
Luoyang laughed: "You're still shy, I think you have a heart, and Miss Zhu is still not happy."
Li Shiyan shook his spirits: "Don't make fun of me, kid, do you think I don't know that Qiu Shu has been pestering you all this time? I think you are lucky."
Luoyang's face changed instantly, as if he had seen a ghost: "Don't talk about her in the daytime, you're panicking!"
The two chatted happily.
It also added a bit of anger to the cold winter.
Before leaving, Ji Yunshu took out a hanging ear, the lines on it were a little old, and she handed it to Li Shiyan: "This was given to me by Mr. Su back then, you can bury it in his grave."
Mr. Su was dead, but Ji Pei was alive.
He lives in her heart.
Li Shiyan continued: "I understand."
"Then you take care."
"You too, take care all the way."
Li Shiyan and Luoyang watched the carriage go away, and there was an inexplicable emptiness in their hearts.
That feeling, I can't explain it, I can't understand it.
Li Shiyan let out a long sigh of relief, put on Luoyang's shoulder, and shouted dashingly: "Go, please go have a drink!"
"have to!"
The two climbed on their horses and swung their whip away.
The snowflakes flew up and fell into the forest in the mountains as if they had lost their center of gravity, dyeing the top of the mountain to the end of the mountain.
Ji Yunshu sat on the "car board" of the carriage, took Jing Rong's arm, and rested his head on his strong shoulder.
Drive with him.
Watch the sky and snow together.
Jing Rong tilted her head to look at her, her eyes were warm, and suddenly said: "The two fish are happy in the water, and the single baby is crawling and knotted. Zhuang Nu's dream is like a rock."
"Why did you say this all of a sudden? You used to..." She stopped, raised her head and looked at him in shock, her eyes moistened, and she didn't say the next word for a long time.
Jing Rong smiled gently, put her in his arms, and called out, "Yun Shu."
She was crying like a child.
Three years of searching and waiting has finally paid off!
- Pisces drowning in water and rejoicing, single young crawls and knots, Zhuang Nu dream, rock is like a solid.
This is what he said to her in Jinjiang that night when the fireworks were blooming all over the sky.
He remembered!
I remember all the bits and pieces between them over the years.
But I still don't know how Jing Rong survived the fire back then
Perhaps, it was born with a compassionate heart!
…
A year and a half later, Jinjiang.
This small town located in the south of the Yangtze River is still full of traffic, birds and flowers, and people chat after a meal, which is mostly a pleasure.
But it is said that there was a major case in the yamen today, and the courthouse was surrounded by water in the early morning. It turned out that a pair of skeletons were fished out from a dry well behind Mao'er Hutong last night. The county magistrate, Liu Qingping, suffered a severe headache. He scratched his ears and cheeks and didn't sleep all night. those men and women
.
Xu is working so hard lately that he has presbyopia! The master bowed over and said softly: "Sir, yesterday, the test was carried out. The deceased was a male, about forty years old, more than six feet tall, and the time of death was about two years ago. The people who come here now say that they belong to the deceased. Dear, waiting to claim that corpse
bone. "
Liu Qingping touched his oily belly, pondered for a while, and said, "It's tricky, it's tricky!"
"grown ups?"
"This skeleton has no flesh and no skin. How can this officer see its appearance? How do you know whose relatives are?"
"Then... what to do then!"
Liu Qingping simply waved his big sleeves: "Go back, go back, let this official think about it!"
A woman said: "Master, that skeleton must be my husband who disappeared two years ago. You must be the master of the women!"
A man said: "That's my eldest brother! He said two years ago to do business, but he never came back. Master Qingtian, you must find the real murderer for my eldest brother!"
Several people in the courtroom began to argue.
Noisy.
The people outside were also talking about it.
The whole yamen is like a vegetable market.
Liu Qingping was almost deaf, and when he raised the gavel to knock it down—
Suddenly a person came out of the crowd.
The quarrels inside and outside the courtroom ceased!
Liu Qingping rubbed his presbyopia and stared hard at the person who came.
I saw that the man who came down from the hall was dressed in plain men's clothes, with a clean appearance, a bit of unsullied elegance between his brows, his eyes were smart, and he was holding a beautifully carved sandalwood box in his arms.
Liu Qingping opened and closed his mouth, and shouted excitedly, "Yun... Shu?"
Tears welling up at the moment.
Ji Yunshu's face was cold, and he raised his eyes and said, "Master Liu, please take out that skeleton, so that you can tell who the deceased is."
Liu Qingping was stunned for Xiao Xu, and then he raised his voice and commanded: "Come! Come! Quickly bring the bones to the court."
How could he have imagined that after so many years, he would be able to see Yun Shu, whom he loved and feared again.
The bottom of my heart was happy, and I took the official uniform and went down to the high hall, wishing to rub against Ji Yunshu.
I almost didn't cry!
After a while, he followed Ji Yunshu's habit and ordered someone to prepare a table and a few pieces of paper.
Ji Yunshu opened the sandalwood box in his hand. The box was divided into three layers, and the paint, brush and ink were all in it, which was very delicate.
Everyone was dumbfounded, wondering what she was going to do
I saw that she put on gloves, held the head and looked up, then picked out a small pen from the sandalwood box and began to draw on the paper.
Pinch your fingertips lightly, one stroke at a time, smooth and precise.
At this moment, Jing Rong was standing in the crowd, his admiring eyes looked at Ji Yunshu's painting with a brush, and the corners of his mouth could not help raising a little.
He knew that she was still her.
That Jin Jiang painter - Ji Yunshu!
