Envy

Chapter 81 Tianlan 3

Yan Zhao stood still, being pushed and shoved by passers-by, watching him quietly among the passing crowd.He met Meng Tou's gaze, then took two steps back indifferently, turned and left without hesitation.

Zhao Qingyan tugged on Meng Tou's sleeve lightly, and asked doubtfully, "Brother Tou, is that your old acquaintance?"

Meng Tou followed Yan Zhaohan's figure with his eyes, and said to Zhao Qingyan: "I have something to do, can you go back first?" Without waiting for Zhao Qingyan's response, he ordered the servant behind him: "You guys accompany Zhao Qingyan Miss, go home."

He didn't even take a good look at her, he just hurriedly closed the Tanghua cloak on her, and left with that person.Zhao Qingyan's hand stopped in the void, she hadn't said the words to persuade her to stay, she only saw Meng Tou disappearing in the sea of ​​people.

He walked in a hurry, panicking as if he had lost something precious.But what did her elder brother Tou regard as a treasure?Crickets caught at the age of seven, white rabbits raised at the age of eight, fragments of the "Qiu Wen Jing" picked up at the age of 15, and the Guqin of Jingnan on his 17th birthday.

He is easy to get tired of what he has, and he is gentle and humble to everyone, but he doesn't care about anyone, and he doesn't want to be bound by any emotions.Such Meng Tou is now swimming upstream in the Canglang water, brushing past layers of passers-by, looking around while walking.

Meng Tou recognized Yan Zhaohan's back, his arrogance and stubbornness.Under the dim yellow lantern, he walked with the dark crowd, never looking back.Meng Tou moved closer and watched him walk onto the Yong'an Bridge.Pedestrians blocked the way, and when Meng Tou walked to the bridge, he could no longer find Yan Zhaohan.

He had no choice but to follow the crowd, searching for Yan Zhaohan's figure.The noisy yelling in the streets and alleys that day made him uneasy, and his mind was stretched on a string, and the time passed slowly, and the string was almost broken.He has trivial thoughts in his mind, such as what to do if Yan Zhaohan can't be found.

He didn't dare to think about it.In any case, he would find this person even in the early morning.

When Meng Tou walked to Zongyuan Street, the flow of people became slower and slower.Something seemed to have happened in the middle of the street, a large group of people were congested, and others could only pass through the narrow roads on both sides.After a while, he heard someone say that a rich man bumped into an old beggar on the street, and the two had a dispute, which has not subsided yet.

Then he didn't listen anymore, he saw Yan Zhaohan who had been blocked from going through the crowd, walking towards the river bank next to the street.There is a bridge over the river. The lights on the other side of the bridge are dim, and they are all the houses of ordinary people.Yan Zhaohan headed there.

Meng Tou also walked against the crowd, ran into several passers-by one after another, apologized, rushed to the bridge, and chased that person to the willow tree.He heard the sound, but stubbornly refused to turn his head, and walked with a limp in a hurry.He knew how embarrassed he was.This embarrassment made him feel embarrassed.

It's a cold day, and the winter wind is like a knife blade.Meng Tou ran against the wind, and his face and heart were cut with tiny cracks, which made his heart ache.

Meng Tou held him tightly in his arms from behind.Yan Zhaohan's mind was disturbed by the sudden confinement, and he leaned forward for a moment.Meng Tou put one arm around his waist, and the other passed through his chest and put it on his left shoulder. After running, he was still panting, his chest heaving.

Meng Tou lowered his head and kissed the tip of his ear, hugged him even tighter, and asked eagerly, "You came to Lizhou alone? Why didn't you write to me first. What's wrong with your feet, huh?"

He put Yan Zhaohan's hands together and clenched tightly in his palms, and found that they were cold.He rubbed the man's hand, bowed his head and let out a hot breath, and said in a reproachful and distressed tone: "In such a cold day, wearing such thin clothes, aren't you afraid of frostbite?"

Meng Tou took off his cloak and put it on Yan Zhaohan: "Why is your complexion so bad? How thin are you?"

The cloak was warm, and the belated warmth made him feel sleepy and crumbling.He covered his lips and coughed, his voice was hoarse, and he only asked one sentence: "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Meng Tou was startled, looked away, took Yan Zhaohan's wrist and said, "It's cold outside, follow me back to Meng's house first."

Yan Zhaohan stood still and said stubbornly, "If you want to say something, I'll stand here and listen to you. If you want to say goodbye to me, you don't have to keep me." He was very ill, his lips were pale , A word was left, and the cough continued.The lights of Lizhou are reflected in the mist.

Meng Tou knew that he had traveled a long way, perhaps so far that he would never walk it a second time in his life.He didn't know that Yan Zhaohan came all the way to Lizhou at that time, just to meet him and hear him say "Is it safe when you come here, I always miss it".

Yan Zhaohan asked: "Is that Zhao Qingyan, the daughter of the Zhao family?"

"Yes." Meng Tou looked into his eyes and held his hands uneasily, "She is my... unmarried wife."

Yan Zhaohan looked at him in disbelief, his face turned pale, and he stood facing the wind like a thin piece of paper.He suppressed himself, even his voice was trembling: "You like her?"

Meng Tou took him into his arms, clasped his arms tightly around his waist, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said helplessly, "No."

"You want to marry her?"

Meng Tou felt that as soon as he let go, the person in his arms would disappear.His eyes were red from the cold wind: "Yes."

After a long time, he heard Yan Zhaohan choked up and asked: "Then I..." Yan Zhaohan grabbed his sleeve tightly and asked, "Then what should I do?" He coughed violently, bent down, His hand was still tugging at Meng Tou's sleeve.Meng Tou knelt down with him and kept following his back, but it didn't help.

He propped his hands on the ground, coughing until he was exhausted and his eyes were blurred with tears.He raised his eyes, smiled, and said, "Third brother, I'm going back to Fulian."

Yan Zhaohan didn't listen to what he said, and broke away from his hand, like a drunken man returning from the night, he stumbled along the river, looking for the boatman who anchored and docked.

The boatmen at night mooring come with their pennies, and ripples spread out in thousands of layers.They sang a time-honored tune, and said in the poem: "Pengshan is far away, and the road is far away. I planted bodhi and jujube. I wish to wash away the suffering of the past, and I wish to keep my appearance until I grow old. I can't forget it. I can't forget it. It's better to get married in the past." Love is early. I can't get there, I can't get there, Yeye and Jun Mian Chunxiao."

It coincided with the sound of Shengxiao from Xinghualou on the other side, and the singing drifted into the night sky.It was raining late at night, and the wind picked up suddenly, and the red cloth ribbon on the Marriage Tree in Lizhou fluttered with the wind.Raindrops fell on the river, making ripples.The boatman put on his coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, and punted the boat back slowly.

Yan Zhaohan was determined to leave, and left Lizhou by boat that night.

Meng Tou followed him all the way, watching him drift away.

Someone came across the bridge from the other side, looking for him.Meng Tou handed over a brocade bag of silver at his waist to him, pointed to the boat, and said to him: "The person sitting in the boat ahead is the young master of the Yan family. You follow him and serve him all the way. OK."

The servant was faithful, and immediately called the boatman to dock and went down to Putou.Before leaving, Meng Tou instructed: "Buy some typhoid medicine for him, and some winter clothes. Please take good care of him, and send him back to Shen Gui personally."
