I looked at that man and thought he looked familiar. He looked like Agda. But he didn't seem to be. Suddenly I thought of his brother Agshan. Wasn't there a war at the border? Why is he still here? He doesn't look like a soldier.
Even though he was dressed up, I felt that he was still a little embarrassed. I said, why do I care so much about it? Let’s leave!
Just as I was passing by the door, I heard the people inside shouting anxiously: Qian'er... Third Miss...
I was stunned, Miss Qian'er, Xiao Shuiqian. What happened to her to come here? I looked at myself, not to mention that Ageshan thought I was dead. I covered my face and was wrapped in a cloak.
I wouldn't be able to recognize anything when I stand in front of him. Even if I recognize him, I will refuse to admit it and run away. The acupuncture point has been solved, and he can't catch up with me. After weighing it, I walked in.
As soon as he entered, he saw two people sitting at the table eating. Ageshan, who was sitting opposite, had his hair down and tied it up casually. His clothes were also worn out, and he looked very embarrassed from the front. But it was
He looked at the woman sitting opposite him with a smile on his face.
The woman's back was turned to me. She was dressed in plain clothes. Her hair must have been combed and she looked very neat. At this time, Ageshan turned his eyes and shouted when he saw me: "Who are you? How can you trespass on others?"
House!”
I wanted to ask for a glass of water, but then I thought there weren't many teahouses outside. Just when I was thinking of other options, the woman slowly turned her head and startled me. Although the woman was also confused.
The veil, but from the exposed skin, it seems that it has been completely burned. It is like countless centipedes and silverfish climbing. But I know those eyes, it is her, Xiao Shuiqian, how did she become like this?
.
When Agshan saw that I saw the woman's appearance, he stood up and said angrily: "Don't look at it, get out!"
She grabbed the arm of Agshan who was about to come over with her hand wrapped in gauze, and said: "Maybe she is thirsty and just came in for a cup of tea. You go and make a pot of tea for the guests."
Agshan was stunned for a moment, and then walked out. She looked at me, her eyes no longer as sharp and ruthless as before. Instead, they were soft and gentle, just like the sunshine on a winter afternoon. What kind of experience made her change like this?
big?
"Miss, you must be tired. I don't mind the shabby place here, but I want to sit down and rest for a while." She didn't get up, but just turned her head and said to me.
"How could that be?" As I said that, I walked over and sat down at the table.
"Miss, you're not scared by me, are you?" She lifted up her veil and took a sip of soup.
Not a single piece of her exposed skin was intact. The woman who valued beauty above all else must have been in a state of distress that was worse than death. Who was so cruel and wanted to be tortured like this?
She, it would be better to kill her quickly. I shook my head and said, "It's just a little unexpected."
She put down the spoon, looked up at me, and said, "Everyone who has seen me is scared away. Miss is really not an ordinary person. Miss must be wondering why I am like this."
I nodded.
"To tell you the truth, Miss, this is my retribution. Originally, I could have lived a peaceful life, but ah, if people are greedy for things that do not belong to them, they will become possessed. I killed my only brother and sister, and I used this
The only man in the world who was kind to me, I hurt him. It was not true that I told the sister that the master wanted to send her to a military prostitute camp, because
I was jealous that she always got so much, and I wanted to make her suffer. He knew all this, but he helped me hide it. What he didn’t know was that I secretly sent her to a brothel in Xihe. I understood that if he knew
, he would definitely not agree. So at that time, I lied to him and said that I wanted to entrust my sister to my distant relatives to take care of me, so that I would no longer harm their master and let him go back first.
I went to say that my sister left with a distant cousin. Everything had nothing to do with him. But he actually defended me after knowing the truth, and even turned against his own brother. But I always used him again and again. Outsiders
People like me should be called snakes and scorpions. Now the retribution has come, I guess it’s my own fault. There is a woman who treated me equally viciously.
Now I have really become a snake and scorpion woman who cannot be seen by others, but my heart feels at ease inexplicably. But God has finally been kind to me and allowed me to be with him when I am alive." After saying this, she looked away.
Ageshan came in with a pot of hot tea. Just as she was about to stand up, Ageshan gently pressed her down and said, "You have difficulty with your legs and feet, so I can help."
At this time, I saw the tenderness in her eyes. Then I turned around and said: "I used to lock my sister's feet very viciously, and now my own legs and feet are almost disabled. Fortunately, he is taking care of me."
.”
"Who is so vicious? Tortured you like this?" After all, he is a good person, and now he is tortured like this. I really don't know how that person could do this.
"Miss is kind-hearted. For a person like me to live to this day and see Miss again, it is a blessing from God." She handed me a cup of tea and said.
I was startled. When she said she was a young lady, she gave the impression that she was a fourth lady. I looked at her in surprise. She nodded, and I clearly heard a low and hoarse voice: Son, cherish everything.
It turns out that she recognized me. No wonder she said that her experience only started from the part that I didn't know. She also specially explained to Ageshan that she wanted me not to bear Ageshan's grudge.
"I want to play a piece of music. Could you please listen to it, Miss?" she said with expectant eyes.
I nodded. She turned to look at Agda with relief. Agshan stepped forward and gently carried her to the piano table. Just as she was about to walk away, she pulled his arm and motioned for him to sit next to her.
Agshan was startled at first, then slowly sat down after seeing her nodding to him.
Then she turned her eyes to the guzheng and flicked the strings. There was a brilliant light in her eyes. A faint halo appeared on her body. The song "Mountains and Flowing Water" never flowed out under her fair and delicate fingers. It still appeared and disappeared.
A definite melody, clear overtones, and lively rhythm. The difference is that there is a sense of realization and indifference after struggle flowing in it.
It also seems like a warm day that soothes the cold soul. The first sound of ice cracking and melting in spring is crisp and hopeful, and the last is infinite tenderness and reluctance. The sound of the piano is ethereal. This is the best time that the third sister has played.
It was also the last time. She lay quietly in Agshan's arms. Although I couldn't see her face clearly, I knew that she left peacefully.
When I knew the truth, I hated her. But facing her like this, I couldn't hate her anymore. Or maybe that Xiao Shuiqian is dead, and what I see in front of me is just the third young lady of the Xiao family. Everything started with this song "
It begins with "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" and ends with this song.
I originally suggested taking the third sister back to Zhongtian, but Ageshan said that was not the place she wanted to go. She said that she had heard a song called "Peach Blossom Temple Song" when she was a child, and that she had been told to bury her in a peach blossom forest.
I felt sad when I heard it. She still remembered the song "Peach Blossom Temple". In fact, she didn't want to be bound by a place like that. She looked at Ageshan standing in front of the tomb and stroked the words on the tombstone. That was himself
Carved on it is the tomb of his beloved wife Xiao Shuiqian. He was also an infatuated man. If the third sister had understood and cherished it earlier, then she could have lived a good life with Agshan. However, there was no if.
I looked at the peach blossom forest full of silver trees, turned to Ageshan who was still immersed in pain, and said, "What are your plans?"
"I don't know." Agueda replied hoarsely.
"Go back." I said. In fact, Agshan already knew my identity. Otherwise, he would not have told me so many things about the third sister. It turned out that Huyan Zimin said that she was accidentally beaten to death by the stick.
She was a cover-up. The purpose was to slowly torture her to death. And he tried his best to save the dying woman.
She was rescued here. The third sister deliberately ignored her own experience and explained most of it to Agshan. So after all, she hopes that he will go back to be with her eldest brother, which may be her last wish. Moreover,
In the final analysis, Agshan was just a little infatuated. Looking back on the details, he didn't make any big mistakes.
