Fengqi Youth Tour

After half a month, the two finally returned to Fengqi Town. This once prosperous town was completely devastated.The fertile land is barren, and the original wide road is covered with weeds. When you look up, you can see how many dilapidated doors and windows have been knocked down by the wind and rain.Hu Niancheng was in a very heavy heart and just walked forward without saying a word, Situ Tianxun didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he could only follow her silently.Walking on the street, she couldn't see the peddler in the past, and she couldn't hear the little brother selling candied haws calling affectionately, "It's candied haws, it's two yuan for a bunch of candied haws." There was nothing to look at, nothing to hear except the whirring of the wind blowing through the grass.Hu Niancheng was not a sentimental person, seeing the desolation of Fengqi Town in the past, she couldn't help but feel panicked, her eyes were red.Situ Tianxun carefully comforted her and said: "It's all in the past, people should learn to look forward when they live." Unexpectedly, Hu Niancheng said: "Thank you, I don't want to look forward because many beautiful things are behind and not in front. I left all the way to the capital and kept looking forward. I did a lot of things that I didn’t want to do because of life. But I didn’t feel happier than before. There are some things that I can’t get past. I always think that there are better things waiting for me. But one day when we look back, we realize that the past is the best. At that time, we were still young and didn’t have to worry about whether we would have enough to eat tomorrow, whether we would be warmly dressed, and whether we would have a place to live. We were carefree Living life is the happiest moment in life, but there will always be a day when we grow up to face a steady stream of troubles and solve one after another difficulties. Over the years, I have understood a lot of truths, and I have also learned to bow my head and force myself to do what I can’t do. What I like. Today I came back here again, but I can no longer find the happiness of the past. I feel only infinite sadness and melancholy. Many times I am very confused and ask myself who am I, the princess? Why am I Is my life different from other princesses because of the humble blood flowing in my body?" As she said that her tears finally overflowed, Situ Tianxun hugged her into his arms to comfort her and said, "It's okay. Yes, it’s all over, and I will accompany you in the future to help you do what you want.” Hu Niancheng said gratefully: “Thank you, it’s great to have you here. I want to go somewhere, can you accompany me? "Situ Tianxun said: "Okay, I will accompany you wherever you go."

After a while, the two came to a small stream, where the weeds grew as tall as a man, but they were already withered and yellow.Hu Niancheng walked under a dead peach tree and touched the dead branches with his hand, "When the tree is dead, the people are also dead, and they are gone." Situ Tianxun walked up to her and said, "It doesn't matter, if you like I'll plant one for you." Hu Niancheng said with a slight smile, "No need, you can't grow the original tree anymore, it's over when it's over. Life must go on, let's go back!" Situ Tianxun said: " What you're saying is that important things will be in the future, not in the past."

After three years of absence, Hu Niancheng returned to the home where he had lived for more than ten years, and everything changed.Weeds grew in the cracks in the stones in the yard, the original stone tables and benches were stained with black stains, and the paint on the doors and windows was chipped and mottled.Hu Niancheng was very depressed and walked through the yard without saying a word and entered the house. The roof was broken and sifted out streaks of light, dust flying in the light.Situ Tianxun walked behind her silently, Hu Niancheng walked to the chair, bent down and wiped it with his hands, "It's already accumulated such a thick layer of dust, wipe it off quickly, or where should Yang Ming and the others sit when they come back?" Couldn't help falling down, Situ Tianxun saw the pain in his eyes and walked over to her and said, "It's fine if I come, you sit down." He leaned over and quickly wiped the chair with his sleeve, Hu Niancheng sat down slowly and said, "Thank you." Situ Tianxun squeezed out a smile and said, "It's okay, don't worry, I'll clean it up soon." He walked outside for a while and took a broom and After a piece of cloth came back, he started to sweep the floor, wipe the tables, chairs and benches, and after finishing these, he started to repair the roof, and Hu Niancheng was always beside him helping him.

The wind picked up in the evening, and the sun had not yet set.Situ Tianxun was tired after a busy day and fell asleep on the chair. Hu Niancheng looked at him with a faint smile and said, "Situ Tianxun, you are really a good person. It’s really hard to find a husband like you with a lantern, but I don’t know how to cherish it.” She couldn’t help but slowly reached out and gently touched his face, his eyes moved and Hu Niancheng thought he was awake Terrified, he quickly withdrew his hand back.Situ Tianxun was quiet again, a ray of setting sun softly fell on him.Hu Niancheng stood up and walked outside, the evening wind blew away her long hair, and her figure gradually moved away.

When Situ Tianxun woke up, it was already dark, and the moon had risen above the treetops.He couldn't see Hu Niancheng and didn't know where she was. He was afraid that she would leave him and go away, and hurriedly shouted: "Where are you, Hu Niancheng? I can't see you anymore?" He groped and walked to another place in the dark and continued to shout: "Hu Niancheng, come out, stop playing, come out, don't leave me alone..." Still no one answered him, he suddenly panicked Get up and look around.After a while he finally resigned himself to his fate and stopped and sat on the bench in the yard crying with no trace of life on his face. Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps coming from outside the door and they were getting closer. He stood up suddenly and ran out.Under the faint moonlight, Hu Niancheng was walking with half a bucket of water, Situ Tianxun rushed over and hugged her tightly and blamed her: "Where have you been, I thought you would never come back after you left." Hu Niancheng was stunned for a moment Breaking free from his embrace, he said: "Look at you, you look like a child who is afraid that his mother will go away and don't want him. You say you are still young, are you ashamed?" Situ Tianxun said angrily, "I want you Why didn't you call me?" Hu Niancheng said: "I see you are too tired and don't want to disturb you, so I went out to find something to eat, or we will drink northwest wind at night? All right, step aside Go and don't hinder my work." Situ Tianxun grabbed the bucket in her hand and said, "I'll help you." Hu Niancheng let go and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The kitchen was full of smoke, and the two rubbed their eyes and coughed non-stop.Hu Niancheng said: "Forget it, you go out and wait, you can't do this job." Situ Tianxun coughed and said: "Who said I can't do this well? See if I slap it a few more times." "As he spoke, he fanned the flame twice, and sure enough, it ignited all of a sudden, and he said happily: "Look, I'll just say I can do it." Seeing him foolishly laughing, Hu Niancheng handed it to him. A wet sermon said: "Young Master Situ, wipe your cat face, you are not as good as Yang Ming when it comes to cooking and lighting a fire." Situ Tianxun felt very uncomfortable when she heard her mentioning Ye Yangming again: "Why do you despise me? , I know that Ye Yangming is better than me in everything." He pulled a small stool to look at the fire, and Hu Niancheng said while choosing vegetables: "You two are incomparable. He has his advantages and you have yours. "Situ Tianxun asked: "Then which of us do you think is more suitable for you?" Hu Niancheng thought for a while and said: "I don't know, I only know that Yang Ming is a friend who can be trusted and relied on, and we live together like family members. Happy. And you, I can't tell you, you are as elusive as that distant cloud, even if you touch it, you can't grasp it." Just as she finished speaking, Situ Tianxun grabbed her hand tightly and said : "Isn't this caught?" She smiled without saying a word.

The dishes were already on the table, and Situ Tianxun picked up the wick to make the fire brighter.Hu Niancheng put down the last dish and sat down and said, "It's time to start the meal." She handed him an empty bowl and chopsticks, and Situ Tianxun took the chopsticks and said, "We'll just have nothing else to eat, otherwise You can also have a bowl of soup." Hu Niancheng picked up the dish and put it in his mouth, chewing: "You can spoon the soup in the dish, but it's a bit bitter. I don't know if you want to drink it or not." She handed him the spoon in front of her Situ Tianxun took the spoon, scooped up a few spoonfuls, took a sip from the bowl and quickly put it down, saying, "It's too bad to drink, but I think you taste delicious, so I'll try it too." After chewing in his mouth, Hu Niancheng snickered at him.He frowned and swallowed it, Hu Niancheng smiled and said: "I told you that the food is very bitter, now I believe it." Situ Tianxun took a piece of meat to eat and said: "What kind of food is so unpalatable to you? Why did you pick it back? By the way, is there no rice at home? Why don’t you cook it?” Hu Niancheng replied: “I found these dishes after searching for a long time. Don’t think they taste bad, they are good for your health. They can clear away heat and detoxify. Either the rice was eaten by moths or it was moldy, so just bear with it and we'll go buy it tomorrow." Situ Tianxun said, "Then why didn't you buy it when you came back this morning? If we bought it, we'll have something to eat now. "Hu Niancheng said: "I forgot, you don't have to worry about whether there is still chicken on the table. When I caught it just now, I found that there are many pheasants around here, maybe there are eggs. Let's look for it tomorrow." Situ Tianxun said : "Okay, let's have a chicken leg." As he spoke, he picked up a big chicken leg for Hu Niancheng, and she smiled and took it with a bowl.

The next day, the two of them were woken up by the sound outside the door at the dawn of the next day. Hu Niancheng got up and opened the door sleepily. After the door opened with a creak, they saw Ye Yangming and Xiaoluotou.Ye Yangming unloaded the donkey cart, tied the donkey, walked to the side of the cart, stretched out his hand and shook the little luotou and said, "Wake up, we are home, your mother is here to pick you up." The little luotou struggled to open his eyes and immediately screamed with joy when he saw Hu Niancheng Said: "Mother, it's great that you are back." Hu Niancheng walked over to help him get off the driveway: "I'm back, everyone is back." Ye Yangming said: "That's right, those who shouldn't come back also came back." Hu Niancheng When I looked up, I found that he was staring at Situ Tianxun who was standing at the door at some time. When Xiaoluotou saw him, he waved to him and shouted: "Brother Tianxun, you are here too. Daddy bought a lot of things and you also come to help." Let's move into the house, shall we?" Situ Tianxun walked over with a smile and said, "Of course." As he said that he had already arrived at the side of the car, Ye Yangming said in a strange way: "Then it's hard work, Second Young Master, little carrot, let's go inside and rest. "Situ Tianxun said: "Won't you help with so many things like me alone?" Ye Yangming shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm too tired after a day's driving, and I can't do it anymore." Holding the hand of the little radish head, Hu Niancheng said to Situ Tianxun: "Work hard, I believe you can do it." After speaking, he followed the two of them in, Situ Tianxun was a little bit Unhappily said: "Who is this family, it's not Hu Niancheng, but my fiancée and I are the same family."

Hu Niancheng poured two cups of tea for them to drink, Ye Yangming took a few sips, put down the quilt, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it to Hu Niancheng, "This is the letter that Yang Liang gave me, and he drew a second picture in the letter. Although I thought it was a little strange, I didn’t go into it too deeply, but the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, can you see what’s going on?” Hu Niancheng was a little puzzled and opened the letter and saw the peach blossoms and plum blossoms in the painting, she muttered to herself He said: "Why are there peach blossoms and plum blossoms again? How could these two people paint the same two kinds of flowers?" Ye Yangming asked in amazement: "Who else draws such paintings for you?" Hu Niancheng replied: "Flower man, It's the man who came to look for me that day in the capital." Ye Yangming thought about it but couldn't think of a reason, Hu Niancheng said to him: "You guys have been driving for several days and have worked so hard. Go and rest. What's the matter? Situ Tian and I Xun can handle it." Ye Yangming said: "Okay, I will leave the matter to you, and wake me up if I can't solve it." Hu Niancheng nodded and said: "Okay, go to rest!"

After moving all the things, Situ Tianxun went back to the hall and saw Hu Niancheng sitting there staring at the painting in a daze, and said, "Which friend of yours gave this painting, it's pretty good." Hu Niancheng poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, saying: "Drinking tea, I always feel that they are implying something to me, but I still can't see any clues." Situ Tianxun sat down, took a sip of tea, put down his cup and asked, "Who did you say they were referring to? Hu Niancheng said: "A friend from the past, we haven't seen each other for a long time, last time Yang Ming wanted to ask him to do something, but he suddenly fell ill and died." Situ Tianxun thought for a long time and seemed to think of something to ask her Said: "Is there any connection between the people who gave you the painting, or what common characteristics do they have in common?" Hu Niancheng suddenly said: "Yes, the person who gave Yang Ming the painting this time is the one Hua Nan told us last time. The Yang Liang who passed by, coincidentally, Yang Liang and Hua Nan happen to be under General Han Qingmu and General Han is a member of the palace." Situ Tianxun said: "In this way, they are all under the orders of the old prince. Secretly looking for your whereabouts, but why did they draw the same words for you at the same time, are they implying something to you?" Hu Niancheng shook his head and said: "I think so too, but I just can't understand what they want to say." Situ Tian Xun thought for a while and said: "Let's start with the painting itself and think about whether peach blossoms and plum blossoms have any special meaning to you, or to them." Hu Niancheng thought about it and was still clueless and discouraged Said: "I can't remember, I don't know what is special about these two kinds of flowers to me or them, I only know that I like peach blossoms and plum blossoms are Yang Ming's favorite." Situ Tianxun seemed to understand something when he heard it, But he could also be thinking in the wrong direction.Hu Niancheng suddenly said: "I seem to understand, do you think they may be telling me and Yang Ming to support each other and live a good life together, after all, the flowers we like are mentioned in the two paintings, and the flower boy is also in the painting. Directly draw two kinds of flowers on one branch." Situ Tianxun didn't want this kind of result, he denied her deduction and said: "Impossible, they tried so hard to tell you what happened, I think they want to It must be a shocking big secret." Hu Niancheng didn't have the mind and patience to guess, she said impatiently: "No matter what they want to say, I don't have the mood to guess now, and it will be the anniversary of my father's death soon. I have to prepare. Besides, Yang Ming and the others must not have eaten well when they came back from climbing mountains and wading all the way, I will prepare dinner for them now so that they can eat as soon as they wake up." She stood up and was about to go to the kitchen Go, Situ Tianxun also stood up and said, "I'll help you." Hu Niancheng turned his head and said, "No, you're tired after moving so many things, so take a good rest. I'll be fine by myself." Situ Tianxun He said again: "I'm not tired, I want to help you." Seeing his persistence, Hu Niancheng said to him: "Well, there is not much firewood in the kitchen, so go and help me get some firewood!" Situ Tian Xun said: "Okay, I'll be back soon." After saying that, he went out.

Hu Niancheng weighed in, took a piece of pork weighing about two catties, put it in a basin, scooped some water to soak it, then picked up a Chinese cabbage, moved a small stool, sat down to choose, she chose the dish, put it aside, and then took another The dry bowl went to the rice bag and filled a bowl full of rice. When she was about to scoop and wash the rice, she suddenly smelled a strange smell. She wanted to go out to see what was going on. She felt dizzy after walking a few steps, and then Beginning to feel weak, she quickly covered her mouth and nose and rushed out.As soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw the old man who chased and killed him last time. This time he didn't cover his face.Hu Niancheng saw that his hair was gray, his face was full of vicissitudes, and there was infinite hatred for himself in his eyes.Without saying a word, the old man drew out his sword and slashed at her. Seeing this, Hu Niancheng ran into the yard with all his strength.The old man jumped up and chased after him, Hu Niancheng had to draw out the dagger from his waist to resist.The old man's move "Baihong Jingtian" has already been practiced perfectly, and now he is attacking Hu Niancheng, and Hu Niancheng used his best practice move "Rain hits the plantain" to fight against it.For a while, the dagger was evenly matched against the long sword. When Hu Niancheng gained the upper hand, the old man stepped up his strength and used more ruthless moves to watch her.So the two of you attacked me and defended for a while, and it was hard to tell the winner. The old man suddenly said to her coldly: "After all these years, I still have such a stubborn heart and refuse to let go of my face to accept my granddaughter. The girl can only blame you for making a wrong vote. I gave birth to the wrong family, today you must die." Hu Niancheng swung his dagger backhand to block his long sword and said, "Not necessarily, I can't choose my own birth but I have the right to decide how I will go in the future." The old man sneered: "Really?" Before he finished speaking, he slashed at her again. Hu Niancheng leaped up with his left foot and jumped up with ease. , Hu Niancheng wanted to use "Fish Leaping over the Dragon's Gate" to resist, but just halfway through it, he suddenly felt weak and his hands and feet trembled. The old man's sharp blade pierced like an arrow. The dagger was getting worse and worse.Seeing this, the old man became proud and said: "Go to hell, Xiaoyezhong." Hu Niancheng backed away with trembling hands and feet, and finally felt that he must die, and closed his eyes in despair to wait for death, when he suddenly heard the sound of "Dangdang", she opened her eyes and looked at the original It was Ye Yangming who came to save him, and the two of them were fighting in full swing.In less than a cup of tea, Ye Yangming gradually lost his strength and was at a disadvantage of being beaten passively. Hu Niancheng gritted his teeth and cut a gash on his arm with a dagger. Paralysis of the body.She flew over to help Ye Yangming deal with the old man, but she was still defeated.The old man almost slashed Ye Yangming's head with his sword, and Hu Niancheng jumped over to block it. The old man raised his leg and kicked her hard, hitting her calf. She knelt down on the ground, and Ye Yangming hurried over to protect her.The old man almost knocked out the sword in his hand with a move of "Stone Breaking Heaven", Hu Niancheng took the opportunity to take out a copper plate from his arms and hit it out. When the old man swung the sword to chop off the copper plate, he stood up and pulled Ye Yangming aside, panting and said to him "I'm the one he wants to kill. Go away and call Situ Tianxun to help." Ye Yangming said: "No, can you live when I come back? Let's deal with him together. If we want to die, we will die together." Hu Niancheng saw that he wanted to kill him. When he came over, he took out a few copper coins and said, "We are all dead, what do you call carrots, let's go, let's go..." As she spoke, she held the dagger tightly in front of Ye Yangming, and he saw that her hands and feet were shaking more and more, No matter how hard he sweated, he couldn't leave her behind.The old man came out with the sword like lightning, and Hu Niancheng's hand trembled so much that the dagger was about to fall, she might not be able to dodge the sword, her eyes widened in horror, as if to see the blood stained her clothes and flowed to the ground Merged into a small pool of blood.

When she came back to her senses, she realized that the clothes on her body were indeed soaked in blood and flowed to the ground, but it was not her blood.Ye Yangming slowly fell down in front of her eyes with a painful expression on his face, and she stretched out her trembling arms to catch him.The tears in Hu Niancheng's eyes flowed silently, Ye Yangming's lips trembled and said: "It's okay, I don't hurt at all, really." At this time, the old man pulled out his sword forcefully and pointed at her: "Now I pay you back, prepare to die She reluctantly put down Ye Yangming, his eyes were red and crazy, he picked up the dagger and pointed at him and shouted: "I want you to be buried with me, old man!" The old man slowly approached her with a sword and his eyes were cold, Hu Niancheng's body was shaking and he rushed over while shouting , In fact, she knew in her heart that she was not his opponent at all, and her knife was actually sending her to die. "Sure enough, the old man squeezed his long sword and rushed towards her. She had realized in her mind that his sword would cut through her clothes, then stab into her hand, and then push it in hard. Blood would spurt out along the blade. In the end, it penetrated the heart, and then her breathing gradually weakened, her pupils dilated, and she fell heavily to the ground. However, all her ideas were finally realized on the old man. The bloody sword pierced his body, and the blood gathered at the tip of the sword and fell to the ground. Hu Niancheng looked up and saw Situ Tianxun standing behind the old man at some point, her eyes were blurred with tears. Situ Tianxun pulled out the sword forcefully and the old man fell to the ground.

Hu Niancheng trembling slightly rushed to Ye Yangming's side and hugged him. At this time, his breathing was weak and his lips turned white.She panicked and said to him: "Yang Ming hang on, you'll be fine, I'll treat you right away." Then she turned her head and called Situ Tianxun, "Hurry up and help me, please." She cried as she spoke There was a sound, but Ye Yangming smiled and said: "It's useless, you can't save me, I can feel my heart being pierced by him, it's so uncomfortable. Live well and take good care of carrots. He is the only one we have." My son, I have a future." Hu Niancheng cried and shook his head, "No, you haven't made a comeback to restore the glory of the Ye family, how can you die?" Ye Yangming's breath became weaker and weaker, he gasped Angrily speaking, he said: "It was just a dream. When a person dies, he should wake up from the dream. Now I understand that eating well...clothing...warm and flat...living in a normal way...is the happiest... ..." When he struggled to utter the last word, his eyes slowly closed, and he stopped breathing, leaving only a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.Hu Niancheng hugged him tightly, not daring to cry any more, letting the tears fall silently on his gradually cold body.At this moment, she suddenly realized that her eyes were red and she said bitterly: "So that's what it means, so it's like this... Hahaha, so it's me who deserves to be damned..." She cried and laughed, and Situ Tianxun thought she was too sad and lost her mind. The carrot head was awakened and ran out of the house to see the scene in front of him. The whole person collapsed all of a sudden, the ground was bloodless, and his limbs were trembling...
