In the past few days, it was a great torture for Mrs. Li to not be able to cross the low wall to release her nature, but she did not think this trip was inappropriate, because even if she was hiding inside the wall, she still had everything she wanted.
Whether it is being complimented and served by all kinds of people, or having the opportunity to enjoy delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and dew, in the carnival of stars and the moon, under the magnificent roof, she is the absolute protagonist.
In contrast, as outsiders, Bai Feng, Murong Yan, and Zichai are the ones who should complain and complain the most.
Madam Li was afraid that these guests would not understand the rules and suddenly come to the banquet to steal her limelight. If they hooked up with some powerful people, Madam Li would have no way to restrain them.
Therefore, this extremely self-centered socialite simply ordered his servants to prohibit Bai Feng and his party from leaving the house at night.
Not only were the freedom of the three people restricted, but they also had three meals a day. They were dressed in shabby clothes and did not eat well. In this huge carnival and hunting ground, they really attracted attention.
Whenever someone passes by them, they will whisper and laugh, "Where did the tramp come from to follow Mr. Su to get lucky?"
And if this scene happens to be seen by Mrs. Li, her already extremely arrogant mind will get even more pleasure.
In the eyes of selfish people, there are always various shortcomings in others. Selfish people are bound by the dreams of the rich and bewitched by wealth and fame. They eat more and more greedily. They change lovers one after another, but they are still not satisfied.
Their madness.
This extreme pursuit of power will eventually turn into disgust for the suffering people and contempt for the moral people, that is, contempt for the toiling people and contempt for the hard-working workers. When they see others in trouble, they themselves
Will take pleasure in others' misfortune.
In order to fill the abyss of selfish desires, Mrs. Li has become paranoid to the point of occlusion. She feels that her happiness is natural, and the suffering of others is also the same. However, at this moment, she saw a group of people who should have been
People who are depressed, lazy, and complaining are living every day with vigor.
For Bai Feng and Murong Yan, a life with a roof over their heads has been their greatest luxury since they met. Therefore, even being under house arrest cannot kill their full hopes.
Bai Feng still insists on getting up early every day to practice swordplay in the courtyard, while Murong Yan and Zi Chai, who are good at lyrics and music, also sing little songs every day.
Mrs. Li originally planned to torture Bai Feng and others for fun before Xiao Sigu arrived, but she heard singing and swords whistling continuously between the second and third huts. Bai Feng and others did not seem to be under house arrest at all.
Later, they put on the winter clothes that Su Qing had tailor-made for them, and they looked much more respectable, which made Mrs. Li feel an unknown jealousy in her heart.
One early morning, Mrs. Li sent someone to move a swing to the residence of Bai Feng and others, preparing to force Su Qing to sever ties with the past openly and openly in front of everyone.
Perhaps the news of Xiao Sugu's arrival the next day stimulated her, forcing her to take action in an attempt to retain her lover.
The courtyard of Nuo Da was occupied by Mrs. Li and her servants, leaving only a few corridors with slight gaps. Under this arrangement, the young swordsman had no place to display his skills, and Murong Yan and Zi Chai could only
Silently playing an elegy, he watched helplessly as Su Qing and Mrs. Li sat on the swing, chatting with each other.
There were servants standing behind them pushing the swing, and there were servants standing in front of them delivering tea. The rest were either building a simple stone stove nearby to keep their master warm, or chasing away passers-by who mistakenly entered the courtyard.
As for Su Qing and Mrs. Li, they are like a young girl who has been in love for many years. They are like childhood sweethearts. When you call, I answer once, holding hands and swinging on the swing, just like the fairy priests in love legends.
Mrs. Li realized that the time had come and asked quickly: "Brother Su, will you stay here from now on? Only if you are by my side will I feel that life is such an interesting thing!"
"Why did you suddenly mention this matter?" After hearing this, Su Qing stopped the swing and looked gloomy.
"Anu has received the news that Xiao Sugu will arrive tomorrow. After the fall, we will settle the accounts and resolve this matter together. It's time for us to decide on our future."
"Anu, I told you a long time ago that we can't be together." Su Qing stood up, glanced in the direction where his friends were temporarily staying, and said, "Have you ever heard that
Ever heard the story of birds and fish?”
Mrs. Li's face turned dark immediately, she turned around and went to the other side to get a cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then said: "No..."
"Once upon a time, there was a bird. He always soared in the sky and rarely landed. One day, he saw a stranded fish in the sea. He felt pity and pushed her back into the sea. From then on, the fish in the sea began to swim every day.
Looking at the sky, waiting for the birds to visit it, the birds naturally visit from time to time in order not to make the fish sad."
"Who is the bird? Who is the fish?" Mrs. Li became more and more confused as she listened. She looked at Su Qing blankly and said, "Don't tell me these roundabout words, I don't understand."
"It just takes a long time, maybe after a long dream, the fragile connection between them will be cut off by the vast sea. Birds come from the sky, and they can travel around the world by just borrowing the east wind. When there is no wind, they can still stop.
They live and build nests anywhere in the world; fish rely on sea water to survive, and sea water is equal to life to it, and it is impossible for it to leave the sea in this life..."
Su Qing's long speech seemed to be telling Mrs. Li that he and she were two completely different types of people, and that the previous encounter was just an unintentional mistake.
"You're talking nonsense... you're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Li looked very unconvinced, angrily glared at the other party, and said: "Then, that woman, what kind of bird or fish is she? Is it possible that she is better than me?
Do you want to be young, beautiful, and wealthy?"
"Huh, what are you talking about her?" Su Qing showed her usual confident smile and said sarcastically: "Not only is she old and beautiful, she is frail and sick, she is also a boring gourd, and she is far inferior to you, Anu.
.”
"Then you are still talking nonsense here. Even a fool knows how good I am to you! How many talented people and outstanding warriors want me to accompany him all night, but I won't obey. I will let you follow me every day.
Later you tried to escape again and again!"
"Then Anu is willing to put down everything, including wealth, reputation, and status, and leave Huaishuo Town with me to start a new life in another place?"
"No, that's not fair, these are all mine!"
"This is not your thing, this is your dead husband's thing!"
Mrs. Li saw that she was about to lose the opponent, so she stood up immediately, cursed Su Qing as a "bastard", and immediately punched and kicked him. Seeing Su Qing running further and further away, she casually took away the precious gold teacups, silver kettles, and jewelry on her body.
, and burnt stones... He grabbed everything he could with his bare hands and threw them at the opponent.
"Then what good thing is there about her that can make you, a wandering person like you, think about her all the time?"
Su Qing fought and retreated, dodging left and right, evacuating all the way towards the residence of Bai Feng and the others. It was not until Bai Feng opened the door to let him in that she dared to reply, saying: "She is also a bird, but she was broken.
I have lost my wings and have been guarding my dilapidated old nest!"
