He waved the two of them to leave, and lay on the bed with all his clothes on, feeling angry and annoyed. He had never experienced such trivial things in his life, and he and his wife were like a husband and wife, arguing with each other. He thought that as soon as he met his wife, he would be with her. If you explain clearly, everything will melt. Unexpectedly, a woman's heart is far more complicated than she imagined.
Only then did he realize that running a family was actually more complicated than fighting a war. He had never put any thought into it, but now that difficulties had hit him, he was overwhelmed and didn't know what to do.
For two days in a row, Hua Rong never wanted to see him again, or even talk to him through the door. She seemed to have evaporated without a trace. He asked Ruda, even Ruda I don’t know where Hua Rong went. Donglin Temple said it was big or small, and Hua Rong was wandering all over the mountains and plains. How could he easily see her? Moreover, his eyes were half-blind and he was even more helpless. Although the meals for the past two days still contained vegetables and meat, the taste had changed. He tasted it and could tell that it was not the work of his wife, but cooked by the young monks. This made him even more unsatisfied.
The autumn sunshine was no longer so dazzling. In the evening, Yue Pengju no longer listened to the soldiers' persuasion. He got up from bed and went to the west wing behind to wait.
This is a house built against a slope. There are peanut trees on both sides of the road. The vast wild grass has begun to turn slightly yellow. Some small golden chrysanthemums and small pink wild flowers are blooming very gorgeously.
Yue Peng's eyes were covered with gauze. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could smell the fragrance of various wild flowers. He casually sat down on the grass, groped around, and picked up a large handful of wild flowers according to the smell.
He lay down with his eyes closed, and all that came to his mind were the beautiful feelings between the two of them in the past. From escaping on the island to meeting in Zhongjiazhuang after many years of separation, she suffered a lot and came all the way to the military camp to find him. She said softly "Pengju, you stay with me tonight", then to the encounter between life and death at sea, the seclusion of the two in Elong Town after she was injured, and even the couple spent three days together in Donglin Temple. In the quiet time... life or death, there is no grudge between the two, and their love is as strong as gold.
Because she couldn't see her, she missed her even more, but suddenly felt frightened. In these years, his wife followed him in all the wars and wars without any complaint, and she had to endure the most unspeakable pain for a woman. As the King of Qin said Say, how often did she live a good life? Even when she ran away from home, she could only bring 50 coins and a few old clothes. No matter whether it was King Qin's ten-year pursuit, Zhao Deji's coercion or inducement, or even Jin Wushu's cruel torture, they could not change her mind. He has always been loyal to himself. If he hadn't been heartbroken, how could he have said the words "divorce" so easily
It turns out that love can withstand strong winds and waves and can withstand the test of life and death, but it can easily be worn away bit by bit by worldly trivial matters. This kind of wear and tear is silent, but water drops penetrate the stone. By the time it is discovered, it is riddled with holes and cannot be healed.
He was ashamed and frightened. He felt sorry for his wife's hardships and was afraid that she would really divorce him. For a moment, he was at a loss as if he was a young man in love for the first time. His lover suddenly broke up with him and he didn't know how to deal with it.
He sat for a while and then lay down. He felt very anxious. He had many things to say to his wife instead of just arguing. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Unable to sit still any longer, he turned over and jumped up, taking the large bouquet of flowers. Again. Go and shake the closed copper lock, "Sister Seventeen, Sister Seventeen..."
This time, there was a quick response. A very calm voice came from the door: "Pengju, I'm here."
He was delighted: "Sister Seventeen, I am not used to it after you left. I miss you every day."
“…”
"Sister Seventeen, please open the door and let's have a good talk. In the past, I did not do well enough, no, it was very bad, and I made you suffer a lot..."
"No, Pengju, you're fine. I'm just being petty."
He was sincere and eager: "Sister Seventeen, please open the door first. We have to talk to solve the problem."
Her voice was still very calm, as if after two days of careful consideration, she was no longer impulsive: "No, Pengju. I have thought it over clearly. The problem is all my fault. Moreover, Zhao Deji has suspicions about you. He He will never let it go. If we are together, he will destroy it again, which is helpless. Moreover, I have been running around for these years and feel extremely tired. I don’t want to live a wandering military career, where I am precarious and face war and life and death every day. Very tired.”
"Sister Seventeen, it's because I didn't do well that I let you down..."
"Pengju, there's nothing wrong with you..." She held back the tears that were about to shed. Is there something wrong with Pengju? Actually, no! He has always been good. Many life and death rescues, many years of mutual support. Just the boring and dangerous tiger-tying and bear-slaying year of seclusion in Elong Town, accompanying the seriously injured self, never leaving, and several men can do it
Yue Pengju heard that she was speechless for a long time, her voice was choked, and she was even more anxious: "Sister Seventeen, please open the door first. I miss you every night these days..."
Tears streamed from her eyes, and it took a while before she said firmly: "Pengju, let's get a divorce!"
Yue Pengju was shocked! Hearing my wife say this so solemnly, it felt like she had been punched hard, and I didn't know how to react.
"Pengju, your eye disease has not been cured, so you should not stay here. Go down the mountain to find a famous doctor. Cure your eye disease first, and then there will be hope in the future. I will not go down the mountain. There are many good women in this world, and I have It suits you, Pengju, don’t worry about me, just go down the mountain.”
Yue Pengju was stunned on the spot, and suddenly heard a sound. He subconsciously reached out and caught something, which was shot by Hua Rong with an arrow.
"Pengju, this is the divorce letter I wrote. From now on, we will marry each other and we will be free people without interfering with each other. Pengju, you are so good. There are women who are ten thousand better suited than me to match you. Good people have good friends. If you repay it, you will definitely have many children and many blessings. I don’t believe it. God is really blind..."
After a few "swishing" sounds, he tore the divorce document into pieces in the moonlight without even looking at it.
Hua Rong listened to the angry tearing sound and could no longer speak.
Yue Pengju spoke slowly: "Sister Seventeen, do you still remember the Huaiyang Massacre?"
She was startled, wondering why he mentioned this matter at this time.
"The fourth prince searched the mountains and seas to capture the emperor, and chased him from Yingtian to Hangzhou. The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were routed thousands of miles away, without any resistance. Yelu's five-horse army of only 5,000 troops actually massacred Huaiyang and Huaiyang along the way. At that time, there were more than 20,000 defenders in these two places. The 20,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of civilians were wantonly slaughtered and humiliated by 5,000 captives! That time, you and the emperor boarded a ship to escape. I chased them to the seaside and saw the land everywhere. There are many wooden signs and wooden figures thrown around... Sister Seventeen, do you know what this is?"
She still said nothing.
"These puppet wooden tablets are the sacred wooden tablets of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty, including Taizu's wooden spirit tablets. I personally saw the puppets of Taizu. Taizu Wen Tao and Wu Lue, a great hero of the generation, created Our empire has lasted for hundreds of years, and the descendants of the descendants are numerous, and the Zhao royal family is even more prosperous. However, what will be the final result? Take the Supreme Emperor, who has more than 20 sons and more than 20 daughters, but... Where is he now? Where are his children?"
Hua Rong suddenly remembered Li Yian's words, "You can be a hero in life, but you can be a hero in death." The prosperous and fertile Song Dynasty collapsed overnight, like a toppled building, collapsing with a roar, and even the dignified emperor was reduced to a The princess was imprisoned, the princess entered the "laundry house", and the prince and grandson became slaves and maids. How many sons can keep their parents safe? How many men can protect national security
"From that time on, I have long looked down on secular concepts. What about children? What about being unable to have children? Life is short and precarious. It is a good thing to live happily with the one you love. If you can expel the captives and restore the country , it’s better, Sister Seventeen, no matter what outsiders say, how often have I ever been worried about this matter?”
Hua Rong couldn't agree at all at this time and could only remain silent.
She suddenly felt ashamed in her heart, the kind of shame that her sentiments and morals were inferior to others. She and Li Yian hit it off instantly, and she felt that this strange woman was the only one in the world who was her confidant. Little did she know that she was not at all, Yue Pengju was her confidant! Only people like Yue Pengju deserve to be compared with layman Yi An!
Inside and outside the door, there was silence.
Yue Pengju said nothing again, as if he had finished speaking and didn't want to say anything more.
After a long time, Hua Rong slowly spoke: "Pengju, I want to live peacefully for a few years, no longer caring about the invasion of the Jin army, no longer caring about comforting my family, no longer caring about anything, just living for myself! You! Let's go! This is what we are destined for!" Qi Qi doesn't want to work for Zhao Deji anymore. Because of Li Qiaoniang's incident, her resentment towards Zhao Deji is very deep, and she feels that this person is simply going against her. A despicable villain who covers his hands with rain.
Yue Pengju felt a pain in his heart when he heard his wife's words. He actually understood that his wife was stubborn and once she made a decision, even ten cows could not hold her back. Yue Pengju answered slowly, very neatly and decisively: "Okay, seventeen Sister, since you insist on breaking up, I won't force you. You have suffered all these years with me and have never had a good life. You have the right to live the life you want."
This is also his habit, a soldier's habit. At important moments, he will never be vague and will not be sloppy. Hua Rong is aware of it, but he feels strong pain in his heart, as if his life has reached a dead end at this point.
She forced herself to calm down. This was the result she wanted, wasn't it? When you are tired, rest. You need to rest, not run around. What does the world have to do with you
Her voice was unusually calm: "Pengju, please go down the mountain."
"I will go down the mountain tomorrow! But before that, I only have one request."
"any request?"
"I have something I want to give to you in person. If I give it to you, you don't have to wait for tomorrow. I'll leave right away!"
Hua Rong was silent for a while, the moonlight shone on her body, the quiet brilliance was infinitely desolate. After a while, she reached out and put her hand on the door latch, trembling slightly. Finally, she slowly opened the door latch, and the heavy door squeaked. "With a sound, slowly open it.
