Zhang Liang and his little green plum

I still live my daily life, but Dad has no one to compare with. Every time he talks about Zhang Liang as a role model, he only talks half of it, so he is not so strict with me.

Oh, I obediently agreed.

I counted the cricket's legs, looking forward to the day when Zhang Liang came back.The frogs in the pond jumped onto the lotus leaves and continued to croak.

My dad's eyes gradually turned gloomy when he came back, and even I noticed it.I went to ask Dad, he waved his hands with a pale face, "Don't worry about it so much, kid."

I'm not young, I'm getting married soon.

I didn't say it out loud, but in Dad's heart, I was about 80 years old, and I was still a child.

A Niang also had a gloomy look on her face. I rested my chin by the pond and wrote a letter to Zhang Liang with one hand, telling him about the situation at home, hoping that he would tell me what to do.

My family and Zhang’s family both kept pigeons. Every time I received a letter from me, Zhang Liang would reply quickly, but this time, Zhang Liang’s reply was delayed.

One evening when the sun was setting, the sky seemed to be blood-colored layer after layer. I was in a panic, sitting on the threshold and drawing a circle waiting for Dad to come back.Waiting left and right, only to see Dad holding on to the wall with trembling hands and feet to enter the door.At that moment, the usually tall and straight father became so short and thin, so thin that he needed me to protect him from the wind and rain.

"Ayuan, Dad's little Ayuan..." Dad held my shoulder and cried loudly.

The last time Dad called me "A Yuan" was on the eve of my dying illness, Dad hugged my frail body and cried in front of the gods, "My poor little A Yuan."

Before I had time to say a word to my father, a large number of soldiers rushed into my house. The black leather boots landed in my eyes. With a soft drink, my father was firmly held down by those soldiers, and a jug of wine was poured into my house. Dad's mouth.Father choked several times, and his outstretched fingers reminded me of an old man dying of illness.

"Father." I wanted to rush forward, but Ji Wuye's soldiers immediately tied my hands behind my back, as did A Niang and the family's guards and servants.

Black poisonous blood was continuously vomited from Father's mouth, and his clean court clothes were also stained dark and light.He likes this court dress the most on weekdays. He wears it to show off in front of me and A Niang from time to time, shaking his wide long sleeves, and asks with a smile, "Isn't it very majestic?"

Those people let go of the restraint on Father, and Father's body fell heavily on the cold ground.I loosened up behind me, crawled over and hugged Dad's body that was still warm, and cried out in a shattering cry.

Surrounded by extreme wailing, Ji Wuye slightly raised the corners of his lips in the midst of so many sad cries, "Your Majesty is merciful, so I won't punish you for the same crime."

I still didn't understand the meaning of his words, I saw A Niang straightened up suddenly, grabbed Father's remaining poisoned wine and drank it all in one gulp.

My outstretched hands stopped in the air, and what I caught was A Niang's lifeless body.I couldn't even cry anymore, this morning my mother and I were sending my father out with a smile, and they all left me overnight.

Is it a dream?

I look forward to waking up soon.

"Where's Zhang Liang? Why didn't he show up?" He looked around, as if he wanted to find Zhang Liang's whereabouts from me.

A white light suddenly appeared in my chaotic mind, and I was vaguely aware of something, and my heart, which was numb from the pain, was suddenly covered with frost and snow, and trembled uncontrollably.

Ji Wuye's people searched the whole house, but found nothing.

I don't allow others to touch my father and mother. I never look down on dead people. When Zhang Liang's father and mother left, my father and mother deliberately asked me to go out and wait outside. I waited outside the door, listening to Zhang Liang's soft weeping, I was scared and sad.

The door was closed, and a figure came down lightly, rushing to me, "Sookie... I'm the one who was late."

I turned my head mechanically like a puppet, as if it was the first time I saw this person, and it was never difficult to speak, "You have been back a long time ago, haven't you? What did you do in Xinzheng City during the time you came back?" ?”

There was unspeakable pain in Zhang Liang's eyes. Under my grief and anger, I didn't have time to consider his feelings, "It's all your fault! You return my father and mother!"

Pushing away his wrapped hands, he staggered and fell to the ground.Only then did I notice that his body was already stained with blood.

He managed to stand up, facing my startled eyes, he no longer tried to explain, "It's my fault, your father took it on my behalf."

The two of us seemed to have nothing to say, the air was terribly stagnant, at dawn, I opened the door and asked someone to come in to help my father and mother prepare for the funeral.

Looking back, Zhang Liang was no longer where he was.

Zhang Liang helped take care of my father and mother's funeral. During this process, the two of us never exchanged a word.

Guren came to see me and told me something.

Han Fei, Zhang Liang and Zi Lanxuan set up an organization called Liusha, with the intention of eliminating Ji Wuye's influence in South Korea.During Zhang Liang's time in Xiaoshengxian Village, he never stopped contacting Liusha. Liusha made a plan to assassinate Ji Wuye, but Ji Wuye escaped.Zhang Liang accidentally appeared during the plan, and was bitten by Ji Wuye, and it was his father who took all the blame.The news of Father's death was deliberately kept silent by Ji Wuye. It took Zhang Liang many twists and turns to get rid of his pursuers and come forward, while letting Zhang Kaidi enter the palace to intercede, unexpectedly, it was still a step too late.

It was a few days after his father's death that Zhang Liang officially passed under the city wall of Xinzheng in a carriage, and informed everyone that he was back.Ji Wuye no longer had any reason to attack him.

I clutched a corner of the quilt and wept silently, Dad did it for me!

"Aren't you afraid?" I asked Guren softly.

Hong Lian was very puzzled on her energetic little face, "Brother and the others are doing good deeds. I am very happy to be able to join them, but my brother always assigns me some irrelevant tasks. I am so angry. "

They are so brave, and I am so cowardly, after all, I am different from them.

Not long after my father and mother's funeral, one day I was cracking pine nuts under the tree, Zhang Liang came over and hugged me gently, I wanted to break free, but he let me go quickly, staring straight into my eyes, "Sookie probably won't forgive me."

The sun was right behind him, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I felt that he had grown a lot taller than when he left Xinzheng.

I turned my back, still cracking pine nuts, and he stopped talking and left slowly.

I looked back at the back in the backlight, and the boat that was shaking in my heart could not reach the shore. When a big wave hit, it swung to the center of the lake and never went back.

Zhang Liang no longer sees me, and I also no longer see him.The engagement between the two of us has not been dissolved, and I know he doesn't want me, a poor family member, to be bullied.With the protection of the lofty lintel of the Xiangguo Mansion, most people still pay me three points of respect.

These three points are mostly useless to me. After my father and mother left, I dismissed most of the servants in the family, leaving only two grandmothers with me because they had nowhere to go.

Father Han Wangnian has worked hard for South Korea for many years. Although he gave poisonous wine, he still gave me a monthly salary so that I can still live.

I kept two crickets and frogs all over the pond, and I was a regular visitor. I often brought her crickets over to compete. Unfortunately, my crickets had no intention of winning or losing. They swayed their feet and ran to the side to bask in the sun.

I survived to teach me how to climb trees and how to practice martial arts. Without saying a word, he carried me on a tree for a few days.

I always dreamed about the day my father and mother died, and woke up from the nightmare in the middle of the night, touching my hair that was sweating and sticky.A figure flashed by the window, I took out the dagger from under the pillow, and groped under the window on tiptoe.

I don't know when to start, I must have a weapon within my reach to be at ease.

I carefully opened the window, but there was nothing outside the window. I looked down and saw a sachet by the window. The scent of pines and cypresses was still as strong as when I gave it to Zhang Liang.

Such days did not last long. More than a year later, Qin State captured Sinjeong, the capital of South Korea. People on the road ran and fled. When I opened the gate, a puff of thick smoke choked my nose.Seeing that the situation was not right, the two grandmothers immediately packed up the housewares and prepared to flee with me.

Several soldiers from Qin State came in through the back door, slit Grandma's throat and snatched away their bundles.What followed was a bloody killing, and several people hiding in the dark of my house died together with the soldiers.

They were sent by Zhang Liang to secretly protect me, but they died because of protecting me.

At that moment, I seemed to be able to feel Zhang Liang's powerlessness, just like he did to Father's death.It's just that he keeps moving forward, just to protect more people, and I can only learn to protect myself at best.

Zhang Liang was wrong, I have forgiven him, but I can't go to him.

It's not selflessness in his heart, it's just that there are so many people and things in his heart that I can't see myself.

What I want is probably to treat me wholeheartedly and put me in front of thousands of people. Zhang Liang has a lot of concerns in his heart, and I am just a drop in the ocean of concerns.I'm too timid, I'm tired of those right and wrong, I don't want revenge, I'm afraid of seeing blood, I can't go to him, I'm afraid to go to him.

The fire made the white wall crackle and crackle. I tried to hold back my tears and pulled the bundle, when a hand suddenly grabbed my foot.A soldier staggered to his feet, staring greedily at the bundle in my hand.

"I'll give it to you." I was so scared that I couldn't speak clearly.

He walked towards me and smiled maliciously at me.

The torn skirt corners fluttered in the air, and the wooden box in my arms fell to the ground. I saw the sugar figurine I made back then fell to pieces on the ground.

At that time, A Niang asked me who I was doing, but I answered with joy and shyness in my heart: "Brother Zifang."

I pulled out the dagger in my cuff and stabbed it in panic.He was injured, I learned from Sheng Sheng for so long, he couldn't screw me for a while.Blood sprayed into my eyes, I let go of the dagger suddenly, sat limply on the ground, and spit out a lot of filth with a "wow".

The hot high wall collapsed, my crickets and frogs died, and I seemed to hear the urgent cries of Shengsheng and Zhang Liang.

"A Yuan, A Yuan..."

"Sookie, Shutie..."
