He wanted to say something, but he insisted on going his own way in the dream, confronted Cheng Hanliang tit-for-tat, and finally turned into a scene that embarrassed him a lot.
By early morning, my back was dripping with sweat.
Li Langyu sometimes wondered why the self in the dream refused to calm down, and was so stupid and stubborn, even he felt a little angry, but he also thought that the real self was not much better, and worse.
This is very torturous.
That night, Li Langyu got up and planned to go downstairs to sit down. Unexpectedly, a floor lamp was lit in the hall. It was Cheng Lan. She couldn't sleep, so she took a book and read it.
Both of them were stunned for a while, and they haven't had a good conversation since the incident.
He abandoned her and ran away. People on the street saw it, and Cheng Hanliang heard it. Then she should know.
Li Langyu bowed his head slightly and walked over.
Cheng Lan watched Qing Shao Nayan's "Pillow Grass", the text is innocent and pleasant, just suitable for the ebb and flow of the night. She didn't mention what happened that day, but rather what she read.
She said it was very good, and Li Langyu replied that it was well written.
No, I mean people. She stroked the pages of the book with some emotion. "I like this sentence the most." She pointed it out to Li Langyu - the peach blossoms are just beginning to bloom, and the willow color is also delightful.
This is indeed a very cute sentence, and Li Langyu showed a very shallow smile. Then, he hesitated for a while, and finally went back to Lantern Festival.
"Why did you go to the boat that day? Those boats look like they haven't been repaired for a long time. This kind of wish is just a gimmick made by businessmen, and it shouldn't come true."
Cheng Lan turned her face away, pursed her lips for a while, and then said, "Actually, the last time you came back from Guangzhou, I felt that you seemed to have changed a bit, and your daily life was not as happy as before, and it looked like you had something on your mind. , but you don't want to tell people, so I can't ask. On the Lantern Festival, I went out with you, and I wanted you to relax. As for making a wish, of course I know I can't take it seriously." She smiled casually, "It's just that People always have a sustenance, if it can really fulfill your wishes and make you go along with your heart, like before, don’t bother you with worry, worry, and don’t bother you, that’s good too.”
Li Langyu couldn't help but choked up with these thoughtful words, "You... why do you want to be nice to me?" It wasn't worth it at all.
This is a strange question, and Cheng Lan is also surprised, "Aren't we family?"
Family, these three words made Li Langyu draw an old picture in his mind, and the bottom of his eyes became moist in the dark. He turned his head away, bit his lower lip, and bit out a flushed red.
Seeing this, Cheng Lan sighed slowly, "I know, you are still brooding about the 'entry into the family', too, it's really not decent for a man, and there will always be people talking about it. However, we After all, I have read books, this is an old opinion, marriage is a matter of two people, what others say doesn’t matter, we live a good life and be worthy of ourselves.”
"No! It's not like this!" Li Langyu hurriedly argued.
"So what?"
"Yes..." The words came to an abrupt end like a falling box lid. I lied to you, deceived you, deceived you, lied to you, calculated you, and never treated you well. During this time, he often couldn't see a way out, and felt that his life gradually became only the mouth of a bowl. He was trapped inside, surrounded by walls, and when he looked back, he had nothing.
But he really can't find his way.
Li Langyu suddenly covered his stomach and bent down little by little, first coughing violently, then vomiting like nausea.
Cheng Lan hurriedly asked him what was wrong, and when he raised his head, his face was all wet, and the red around his eyes was splashed out.
He grabbed her hand and couldn't help crying and said, "Have you ever thought that it's me who has a guilty conscience?"
Cheng Lan froze in place, and the hands on her arms suddenly became hot. Some time ago, Cheng Hanliang always said some strange things to her, and she knew that it was a side attack, and every sentence pointed at Li Langyu, but the guess was false, and she would not suspect a person just because of a random thought.
"It's strange to say that I was in a coma because of drowning, but during that time, I seemed to dream of many unseen but familiar sights. I stood in the sea of fire, and the wooden beams of the house collapsed one by one. It's fear, and I still have lingering fears when I think about it now."
Li Langyu buried her head in her elbow socket, her shoulders were still trembling, Cheng Lan saw the swirl of his hair, which inexplicably aroused the motherhood in the woman's bones, and wanted to take care of him.
"Lang Yu, if you really have something on your mind, you might as well say it. It's better for two people to think about it together than one person."
But he couldn't say it, and he didn't know where to bring it up.
He shook his head and said "I'm sorry" over and over again in a panic, ten times a hundred times, the most useless words in the world, and the most indispensable words in the world.
Cheng Lan supported him, and in the end he didn't say anything or ask. The book on the sofa was still spread out, with Zhang Xie's writing in it.
"Spring dawn is beautiful.
Charming summer nights.
Autumn is the most twilight.
The winter scenery is all in the early morning. "
She thought it was a mess because it was a winter night.
What if it was early morning
If it is early in the morning...
A few days later, Xu's mother was talking about the fourth master coming back in the evening, and it happened that she still had some dumpling wrappers, which happened to be a whole pot for the fourth master to catch the wind. Cheng Lan helped with the minced meat at the table, kneaded the dumplings into a small koi shape and placed them in a circle, which was very beautiful.
Li Langyu walked over and silently helped with the work together. Xu Ma was slightly surprised and said, "Uncle looks much better."
Li Langyu raised his eyes after a long while, with a confused expression, as if he had just woken up.
"My uncle and when I came here would be completely different. In half a year, I talked a lot less and lost weight. Even if I am a servant, I am afraid that I am not thoughtful and treat you badly. From time to time, the fourth master almost makes me do it. Those that appeal to you, I know that you like sweets, soups, porridges, and porridges, you want me to add more red dates to taste."
Li Langyu lowered his eyes, pinched the soft dough and folded it into folds, and said lightly, please take care of yourself. After waiting for a while, I added that it was my bad temper.
The whole person softened.
After lunch, Yue Qiao came to say that someone was looking for Fourth Master Cheng outside. After hearing about it, she asked if there was a Secretary Li. She was not sure, so she came to ask Miss Cheng's uncle. As soon as Li Langyu heard this, thinking that she was an acquaintance in Guangzhou, she asked Yueqiao to bring the guests in.
Sure enough, when they met, it was Wang Fujue, the boss of Wanxiangcui who became attached to the gambling stone.
Let's say that after the last farewell, Wang Fujue washed his hands in a golden basin, closed the shop, and went home to live with his wife and children. When I came to Beiping this time, firstly, there was an old thing I wanted to give to Cheng Hanliang, and secondly, I brought my family to the north to see it.
He laughed and said that Guangzhou is getting a little warmer now. It was cold and wet before. Every quilt is stuffy and damp, and it smells bad if it doesn't get sunburned. This is really different in Beiping. I didn't expect it to snow. , can only buy a few sets here.
He said again, the child has gone to high school and hasn't been to the north yet. This time, he also asked him to be fresh. Coincidentally, it was the first time he encountered snow, not to mention how excited he was. Yesterday, he played in the snow for too long, and at night sneezed.
Li Langyu added a few words with a smile and asked if he needed some medicine, which happened to be available at home.
Wang Fujue just said no, and asked, "When will the fourth master come back?"
"Maybe in the evening, is there something urgent?"
"It's really an important thing, for the fourth master." Wang Fujue took out a small red cherry wood box from his arms, the top is hollow craftsmanship, antique pane style, throwing layers of light, and the surrounding is carved with incision techniques It is decorated with orchids, and another pair of swallows stand by the window, which probably means "I wish to meet you in the morning and evening like the swallows on the beam."
Generally speaking, pearls and jade have to be matched with beautiful caskets. Such exquisite wooden boxes are meant to be used to hold valuable ornaments, and some people will specially name this kind of customization, such as "Yisechun", "Dongxian", "Dongxian", "Ichichun", "Dongxian" Tianxiang" and "Little Delicate". Wang Fujue turned the box over, revealing the bottom of the box, engraved with the word "Qingqing", simply.
"The fourth master asked me to engrave it, and it just happened that the spring was beautiful that year."
And for some unknown reason, Li Langyu first thought of "the old man returns to his horse to go out to Qingqing".
"What is this used for?" Li Langyu asked.
"It was a long time ago that Fourth Master Cheng came to me, gave me a piece of white jade, and asked me to carefully carve it as a gift. After I carved it, he wanted a box, but he didn't like it in the store, so I made it specially. Now, it's just that he suddenly left in a hurry at that time, and this box has been left with me. Last time I was in Guangzhou, I was devastated by the stone gambling, and I forgot about it."
Li Langyu rested his cheek with one hand and tapped the table with his middle finger lightly. He asked casually, "Then do you know who he gave it to?"
"That's not clear." Wang Fujue thought for a while and continued, "But that jade is really valuable to the fourth master. He said that it was given to him by his master when he entered the school."
Li Langyu's expression froze, his pupils suddenly widened, and his tongue became dull again when he opened his mouth, "He, when did he find you?"
"Six years ago... Yes, six years ago, on the third day of the fifth lunar month, I remember that the back of the jade was this day, and he asked me to engrave it on it."
The third day of the fifth lunar month is his birthday. It was the piece of jade, the piece of jade he threw away, the piece of jade left behind by his father, he threw away!
Li Langyu was stunned on the spot, as if there were crackling hailstones hitting his head, which made him extraordinarily awake, so awake that his heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were pulled out of his body, and his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were separated, and he could still perceive everything.
Not long after Wang Fujue left, Li Langyu came to the backyard alone, pushed open the door, and stood by the door for a while.
The earth is boundless white, and God is still stubbornly spreading salt.
Li Langyu looked at the
