"Okay, it doesn't matter if I tell you. If one day I find out that you have anything to hide, I will kill you." The man put away his smile and looked at me warningly.
"Okay, if you find out that I am a liar and kill me, I will definitely have no complaints." I made a promise.
"He and I were brothers, and he was my only brother. However, because of a woman and property, we turned against each other."
Woman? "It's the girl named Huizhi." I couldn't help but interrupt.
"Yes, she and we grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Despite this, she has always been very close to my eldest brother. She has liked to cling to him since she was a child. But it is a pity that my father and her father were separated when we were not born.
There was an agreement: pointed her out to me. For this reason, the eldest brother expressed his feelings to his parents many times, but was regarded as a shameful thing and never got the understanding and consent of his parents. Later, the eldest brother knew that I
He had feelings for Huizhi, and in order to help us and make Huizhi give up, the eldest brother chose to leave his hometown and make a career in the world. I still remember that before he left, he repeatedly told me: I must treat Huizhi well. However, the elder brother
God seemed to be against me. After Huizhi and I got married, my second mother learned about the affair between Huizhi and her eldest brother. She tried every possible means to devise a seduction trick... One day, when I returned to my room,
I was shocked to see Huizhi lying on the bed with a strange man. In anger, I killed the man in front of Huizhi. At this time, for some reason, the second mother, her father, mother, and a group of domestic slaves all came together.
He rushed in, and when everyone saw this situation, they all accused Huizhi, saying that she was unruly as a woman... Two months passed like this, until one day, the second mother said that a large amount of money had been lost in the accounting office, and insisted that it was Huizhi.
I gave it to my mother-in-law’s family, but at that time, Huizhi’s mother-in-law’s business failed and the family was in dire straits. So, I listened to Er Niang’s false accusations and scolded Huizhi a few words. But,” the man said with a sad look on his face.
She trembled her lips in grief: "How could she not think about it so much that she hanged herself to death?"
"So that's it. Then why did you and him turn against each other later, and why did he lock you up here?" Listening to the man's story, I couldn't help but think of Han Chu, Xiao Die, and Prince Xuan.
Isn't it true that they are like this? The most tragic thing in the world is that lovers cannot finally get married, and two people who clearly love each other cannot be together for a long time.
The man sighed heavily and looked into the distance with his plaintive eyes. The memories had exhausted his strength and his youth. Then, he slowly turned to my face and continued: "Later, my father passed away, and my mother-in-law passed away.
I was clamoring to divide the family property, and my eldest brother was also involved. My eldest brother always blamed me because of Huizhi, blaming me for not fulfilling my promise to take good care of her. After he came back, he was lukewarm to me. But until my father died, for
We all had a falling out about our property. My eldest brother was bewitched by my second mother and took away all the money in the family. My mother committed suicide in a fit of anger. So, unwilling to accept it, I went to my eldest brother to argue and started arguing.
On and on, finally, when it came to Huizhi, the eldest brother got emotional and started fighting..."
"Don't tell me that you can't beat me, so you're locked up here?" I interrupted the man's thinking.
"What do you think?" The man looked at me and smiled.
"My eldest brother and I came from the same master. However, I am naturally smart and have a strong ability to accept things, so I am always more enlightened than my eldest brother. Believe it or not, I deliberately let him defeat me." This sentence is said easily, but
But I could see how much pain the man endured.
"Why?" These three simple words revealed my concern and injustice.
"I don't know, maybe it's for Big Brother, maybe, maybe it's because of Huizhi, hahaha..." Then there was boundless laughter again. I don't know if I was laughing at my own stupidity or at Big Brother's insanity!
Alas... it's another inexplicable fate. The love in the world has made so many infatuated children sad!
I can't help but remind me of a poem by Tang Bohu: Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at others because they can't see through it...
"Sleep, sleep, you don't have to think about anything when you fall asleep." I walked up and patted the man on the shoulder. I didn't know whether I was saying this to him or to myself.
It was dark at night, and in the long cave, a blazing fire illuminated the entire cave, and also stretched two lonely shadows.
"780,790..." I ran outside the cave early in the morning, looked at the rising sun, sat down on a rock, tilted my head, and counted the days until I could travel back through time.
"What are you thinking about?" The man finally changed into black clothes and stood beside me in high spirits.
"Calculate how long it is until three years." I answered frankly. I didn't want to lie to him, and there was no need.
"Three years? What do you mean?" This time, the man in black patiently sat down next to me. After two days of practice, his words were no longer so cold.
"I can return to my own world in three years." I still looked at the sky, where my most original call was.
"Your own world?" He looked at me doubtfully, as if he was talking to a foreigner.
"Well, I don't expect you to understand. I'm really confused. Just pretend I didn't explain it. Anyway, I can't explain it clearly." I waved my hand and walked back to the cave alone.
There are two more grilled fishes, neatly placed next to my clothes. The four black fish eyes seem to declare that they are my belongings. They are fish every day and every meal is fish. Although fish can supplement the brain, it cannot be like this.
Here’s a way to eat it! I’m not saying that I can become a scientist as soon as I travel back in time. Just don’t end up with fish eyes.
This life is boring. I looked around and saw nothing but rocks and weeds. Come on, let’s go find some living creature to chat with.
"Hey, let me ask, what's your name?" After thinking about it for a long time, I realized that I didn't even know his name.
"Li Bai." The man said smoothly.
Xiami? Li Bai? That famous poet in Chinese language books?! Thinking of this, I glanced at the person next to me, looking left and right. No matter from which angle I looked at him, he didn’t look like a literati!
"Well, if you have nothing to do, do you like to write poems, paint and so on?" Hehe, if I meet a great poet, I will be considered a profit in this life.
"No time." Li Bai turned around and glared at me irritably.
"Pretend I didn't say that." If I had known that he was not a good person, he could stay in this ungrateful place for three years. He is probably no longer a normal person.
"Well, is there anything you usually do to pass the time?"
"No."
"So, has anyone else come in here?"
"No."
"Except for your eldest brother, do you have no relatives in your family?"
"kindness."
"Then can we go out?"
"cannot."
The conversation ends.
…
In a certain room of Ergou Inn:
"Your Majesty, are you sure that Yan'er has stayed in this inn?" Fu Ruoli looked at the silent man in front of him and asked extremely anxiously.
"Brother Qian, don't panic. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea first. We have been waiting for this for a long time. Do we still care about this moment? I believe that the emperor will not make any conclusions without being completely sure.
."
"Okay." Fu Ruoli glanced at Liu Qianli and sat down reluctantly, but his eyes were still fixed on Meng Zihan.
"You have to change your words. Don't call me "Emperor" anymore. It will be too bad for others to hear. Let's pretend to be three brothers and sisters. If we are older, we will be the eldest brother. I am the second brother and Miss Liu is the younger sister.
."
"Yes, Your Majesty." When Liu Qianli saw Meng Zihan's reproachful eyes, she immediately changed her words alertly: "Yes, second brother."
"In that case, let's go." Meng Zihan stood up, his long light blue coat making his slender body look extra tall.
"Let's go? Where to go?" Fu Ruoli was leaning on the stool at the moment, unable to get up, with a confused look on his face.
