Rebirth of Bamboo Horse Treacherous

Chapter 74

The happy time is always very short. When the candle on the table flickered twice and went out with a sound of "噗嗤———", everyone realized that half of the long night had passed.

Saying goodbye to Papa Pei, Pei Ye and Pei Zishu huddled together on the same bed and talked endlessly. The moonlight outside was cool, casting bare shadows on the window through the treetops.

Pei Ye snuggled up under the quilt, and told Pei Zishu about Mrs. Pei's voice and smile from the depths of his memory.

Mrs. Pei passed away early, so he didn't have many impressions, but looking at Pei Zishu's shy and expectant eyes, Pei Ye racked his brains to get into his memory and try hard to remember.

About Mrs. Pei, Pei Ye can't recall many complete stories, but there are also many other small pictures. Immersed in memories, Pei Ye slowly put together a hammer and a hoe. When he regained consciousness, he discovered that Pei Zishu has fallen asleep with his cheeks flushed while hugging the quilt, and there is still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth...

Pei Ye looked at his contented sleeping face by the moonlight in front of the window, bent the corners of his eyes amusedly, and turned around.

The cold moon reflected the window, everything was silent, Pei Ye closed his eyes and tossed and turned on the bed for a long time, finally admitted sadly that he...had insomnia.

Turning over to get up, putting on a warm cloak, Pei Ye carefully walked around Pei Zishu and opened the door.

In the courtyard, under the moonlight, a person with a snow-colored cloak and a long body stood tall, looking at him quietly, softly covering the moonlight.

"Why are you standing here?"

Pei Ye shook hands on the doorknob, finally took a step, turned around and slowly closed the door.

"Can't sleep."

"Oh……"

Pei Ye didn't ask him why he came to his room because he couldn't sleep in the guest room, and Shen Guzhi didn't explain either.

There was silence all around, and the two looked at each other in silence.

The weird atmosphere lasted for a long time, but it was finally broken by Shen Guzhi. Standing under the snowy night and the moon, he looked at the person who had been entangled for two lifetimes, bent his eyebrows and said softly, "I heard that the snow scene in Xiangyang is good, why don't we go together?" Walk."

Pei Ye lowered his eyes and closed his cloak. After a moment of silence, he nodded slowly.

The streets of Xiangyang at night were quiet and peaceful. Walking on the snow-covered streets, Shen Guzhi and Pei Ye felt that the sound of breathing seemed to blend into the quiet snowy night.

Shen Guzhi was wearing a snow-colored cloak, and he clenched his fists to his mouth and let out a suppressed cough. Pei Ye looked at him and slowly looked away.

"Huaijing took away the fragments of the shattered jade ring." Shen Guzhi pressed his chest, took a breath, and said softly.

"Yeah." Pei Ye hummed indifferently, looking down at the snow on the side of the street, wondering what he was thinking.

"A jade ring made of fragments may not be able to open the hidden door of the treasure,"

Shen Guzhi stopped, turned around and looked at him quietly, and said slowly and softly, "So, Master Pei must die... in the eyes of the world."

This is... an explanation for him...?

Pei Ye raised his head and looked into Shen Guzhi's silent eyes like water, his heart that had already been burned like ashes couldn't help trembling quietly.

……

Pei Ye didn't know how he walked back. He thought that he would not be able to fall asleep after walking with Shen Guzhi for no reason, but he didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.

In the dream, the past and the present are intertwined. For a while, Shen Guzhi glanced over with cold eyes amidst the sound of firecrackers; But a roundabout explanation...

Early the next morning, Pei Ye was swayed out of bed by Pei Zishu's shoulders. After washing his tired eyes, he approached the small dining table only to find that the figure of master and servant Shen Guzhi was nowhere to be seen.

"It's time to eat! Nephew Shen Xian said that he had something to do at home, so he left early in the morning. The two of you should finish your meal and take a break. Go to the courtyard in Qianjie with your father, and find a few more shops to wait for you." When Uncle An comes, we will officially move and open, and settle in Xiangyang!"

Suddenly cleared from his muddled thoughts, Pei Ye looked at the empty half of the dining table next to him, and closed his eyes indiscriminately.

——Did you just leave without saying goodbye?

- also good...

In the next few days, Pei Zishu was the happiest. Although he was always shy and reticent, he could see the joy from the bottom of his heart from his bright eyes and flushed cheeks!

Pei Ye accompanied him to the pen, ink, paper and inkstone workshop to buy the best brushes, inks, papers and inkstones. On the night of moving to the new house, everyone in Pei's house received calligraphy and paintings from the new young master with blushing cheeks. Pei Ye also got a piece of paper. The copy is Zhang Yuhou's new bamboo shoots. The fresh and straight bamboo leaves and bamboo poles are extraordinarily energetic. Pei Ye was so happy that he hung it in his room right away.

The days went on so plainly and beautifully, so when Pei Ye saw Shen Qi again, he couldn't help but feel a little different.

"sit."

Pei Ye waved his sleeves to signal Shen Qi, turned around and sat on the mahogany chair next to him, poured two cups of tea and pushed a cup over.

Shen Qi stood on the spot without moving, watching him twitched the corners of her lips mockingly, "How dare Shen Qi sit down on the chair at Young Master Pei's house?"

Pei Ye didn't answer his words, holding the teacup in his hand quietly watching the floating light and shadow in the cup.

The reason why Shen Qi ran here from the capital is not difficult to guess, it must be related to Shen Guzhi, but what is the specific matter... Pei Ye's heart trembled slightly when he thought of the pale face of the man under the moonlight without a trace of blood.

Shen Qi looked at him calm and composed without saying a word, and the sarcasm in his eyes was even more intense, "Sure enough, people in the world are selfish, if you live your own life well, who cares whether others live or die?!"

Pei Ye got a headache from his sarcastic words, pinched his forehead and looked up at him, "Do you have to talk like this?"

"This makes you feel uncomfortable? Then do you know how my young master felt after being stabbed by you after enduring his illness to save Master Pei?!"

Shen Qi took two steps closer, and stared at Pei Ye mockingly, "Do you know how deep your knife was?! Do you know how many pots of blood were drawn after you drew the knife?! You know that the son's life is hanging by a thread, and he still misses you name?!"

……

"You don't know! You didn't even look at him when you left!!!"

"Pei Ye, do you have a heart?! Do you know that he has nothing... Do you know... Do you know... He has only a few days..."

Shen Qi slammed the teacup on the table to the ground with a slap, making a "pop!" sound of porcelain breaking, and then the warm tea splashed all over the floor...

Shen Qi squatted on the ground, covered her eyes and choked with sobs, "Do you know...do you know...he has been around for a few days..."

The teacup in his hand gradually slipped down, turned around twice, and stopped.

The warm water splashed all over the corner of Pei Ye's robe, but it couldn't splash into his heart which was instantly occupied by ice and snow. His heart seemed to be hollowed out by someone. The cold wind howled, and it hurt...

"You said, in a few days... what do you mean..." Looking down stiffly at Shen Qi who was covering her eyes and choking, Pei Ye didn't know that his voice was trembling unreasonably, his eyes were wide open, and even his fingers were trembling.

Shen Qi covered her eyes and said nothing, the warm liquid dripped down her fingertips one by one.

***

Jiangnan was still the same Jiangnan, the man lying on the bed, but he was no longer the little boy who pulled his collar in front of the carriage and coaxed and coaxed him to come play again.

Pei Ye stood stiffly at the door and looked at the haggard man lying on the bed. The hole in his heart was getting bigger and bigger... even bigger and bigger... It was even terrifying to swallow him in an instant...

Shen, who was arranging the medicine bowls in front of the window, turned around and saw the man standing stiffly at the door, his eyes wide open and trembling slightly. The little maid went out together.

The people Shen Guzhi needs to accompany him will never be them.

Standing behind Pei Ye, Shen Qi followed him to look at the person who was quietly lying on the bed, and said in a soft voice, "The young master is in the Shen family, and he is an existence that does not want to be recognized by others. Attention, the young master has taken a kind of poison that harms qi and blood since he was a child. In the end, he managed to overthrow the entire Shen family under the noses of the Shen family couple, but as time passed, his body was already overwhelmed. I help him prepare the antidote all day long, but the medicine is three-point poisonous...[-] years of poisonous medicine..."

Shen Qi lowered his head, closed his eyebrows, and chuckled bitterly, "No matter what he does, he never talks about it. He plans, deploys, and bears everything silently...even when he is kind to others, he is also silent. Yes...whether it's a misunderstanding or pain, he feels that he has a clear conscience. But I don't want to...we watched him grow up together, I don't want him to give everything, but the people he gave don't know anything , started a new life with peace of mind, but let him lie here alone and helpless..."

The fingers on Pei Ye's side were trembling and squeezed tightly, and Shen Qi choked up behind him, "Please stay with him, just take it... just take it... his reward for saving you from death..."

Shen Qi took away the people in the small courtyard, Pei Ye didn't know how he walked in with his stiff body.

Standing in front of the bed, Pei Ye looked at the man's pale face and closed his eyes, his heart froze, and he reached out tremblingly to check his breath...

When the undetectable breath fell on his fingers, Pei Ye's body softened and instantly collapsed in front of the bed, clutching the sheets under his hand tightly, the defense line of Pei Ye's buried head was broken by tears, and he was instantly defeated.

A thin hand fell on top of his head, Pei Ye lowered his head and silently shed tears even more fiercely.

"I didn't expect you to really come..."

The weak voice echoed in his ears, as if it would shatter in an instant, Pei Ye lay on the edge of the bed with the quilt running down his hair, tremblingly covering his eyes and the wall of his heart collapsed in half in an instant.

"I used to think that my life was just to destroy the Shen family, but after I lost the most important thing, I realized how wrong I was..."

I have never believed that someone can love others more than themselves...

Until that idiot appeared in my life, like a bright flame, burning everything fiercely, dazzling...

Later, because of me...he went bankrupt, his family was ruined, but that idiot still didn't give up, and came all the way to my wedding hall alone...

The color of the blood spurting out is very red, redder than the red silk on the wedding hall...

At that moment... I realized that I would also be flustered..."

The hand that gently smoothed the hair on the head paused, and Pei Ye raised his head with red eyes.

Shen Guzhi bent his brows weakly, his eyes as cool as thick ink were as good-looking as ever.

Gently wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes with his fingertips, Shen Guzhi smiled faintly, "In the last life, I caused you to have nothing and die in Huangquan, and now I will die soon with nothing...Can it be considered even? Then in the next life...we Let's be together...can you..."

Pei Ye's eyes were blurry, and he clutched Shen Guzhi's sleeves, tears falling down one by one.

"If you don't answer, I'll take it as if you agreed..."

Shen Guzhi smiled and wiped the corners of Pei Ye's eyes. As soon as his cold fingertips touched the corners of Pei Ye's eyes, they sank down. A round white koi slipped from his sleeve, rolled out on the ground, and hit the table Only then did the spinning of the feet stop.

The small and warm white jade, the lifelike koi, is exactly the one that Pei Ye sent Fang Yan back from Shiliting and left in Shen Guzhi's carriage...

Gu Zhi...

"Shen Guzhi——————!"

Tightly grasping the man's slipped palm, Pei Ye knelt down beside the bed and burst into tears.

"You are always like this! Always leave me alone like this... I have already decided not to like you! Why do you still want to provoke me! Why do you still want to leave me alone after the trouble is over!!!"

Holding the man's cold fingertips, Pei Ye pressed his forehead against the bed, gasping for breath, "Why did you leave me alone again...Why did you leave me alone again...I don't want to be alone..."

There were all kinds of noisy voices around, Pei Ye turned his deaf ears as if his six senses were blocked, he only knew that he was holding the man's hand tightly, choking with trembling, kneeling beside the bed at a loss, crying like a child.

"Young master spit out the blood on his chest! Pull him away! Quick!!!"

Someone yelled in his ear, and then the back of his neck hurt, Pei Ye sank into darkness with red eyes...

The author has something to say:

I want to finish it in one breath, but I always feel that there should be a buffer here, so...

Not BE!Not BE!Not BE!Say important things three times! ! !
