happy day

In Gu's mansion in Yangzhou City, Gu Chengye was wearing a light blue plain robe and sitting under a crabapple tree in the yard.A gust of wind blew, and the petals fell one after another, like a lingering rain of petals.Gu Chengye brushed off the pink and white petals stained on the skirt of his clothes, raised his head and looked at the white clouds in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

Wei Ru came out from the boudoir, "Brother, why are you in a daze again, did you remember something?"

Gu Chengye looked at his younger sister, she was wearing a light red gauze embroidered with white cherry blossoms, even at home she had to wear a veil, and she refused to show her true colors to others.

On the cheekbone of her right cheek was a bright red scar the size of a fingernail. That scar was very strange, as if it was formed after a blood vessel ruptured.There are similar scars on Yuan Ru's arms, but they are not as conspicuous as those on the face. After all, the scars on the body can be hidden, but the scars on the cheeks can be seen at a glance.

Now that scar has healed and looks like a butterfly, the color is still bright.Although Gu Chengye felt that these traces did not affect the beauty of his sister, but Ruo Ru was very concerned about it and always said that she was ugly, so she covered her face with a veil all day long.

Gu Chengye looked away, smiled and shook his head.He forgot everything after he became an adult, and his memory stays at being taken to a mysterious mountain depression when he was seven years old. Several men in black drove a group of children and told them that they would work for the owner of the pavilion from now on, otherwise they would die. There is no place to die.

There will be no future after that, and the memory will become a blank.Another memory was in a bamboo building on stilts in southern Xinjiang. The great shaman Fan Ming said that he was poisoned by the poison called Er Nian, and when the poison was removed, he lost the memory of the time when he was under the control of Er Nian.

Gu Chengye remembers clearly what happened before the age of seven.He remembers living in Yangzhou before he was five years old, his grandmother, his parents and younger sister.I remember that year when there was a great change in the family, the family was wiped out overnight. The grandmother, parents and more than a hundred people in the house were all slaughtered by the Jiaosha gang who broke into the house. The whole house only survived him and his two-year-old sister. Wei Ru.

Later, he led Xiaoru to the streets, begging for a living, and was later taken to the col by a mysterious person.

Calculating the years, I should be 21 years old this year, which means that he lost the memory of the entire 14 years in between.

The same is true for Maoru, who was even younger when she was taken to the mountain depression, only four years old.Her four-year-old also became a blank.

What happened in these 14 years, and how he and his sister spent it, Gu Chengye had no idea.

He took his younger sister back to his hometown of Yangzhou. As soon as he arrived in Yangzhou City, the magistrate of Yangzhou found them and said that the court was very concerned about the massacre of the Gu family. He looked through the files and found that there were no bodies of the Gu brothers and sisters among the more than 100 dead. It shows that the two of them did not die in the tragedy.After further investigation, it was finally determined that the two of them were the descendants of the Gu family who escaped by chance.The magistrate of Yangzhou invited the imperial court, and the imperial court replied and returned Gu's old house and family property to them.

Gu's house was regarded as a murderous house by the locals because of the blood flow in the river, and many people died. It has been vacant and no one took it over.

The two thought that the home that had been vacant for more than ten years must be in ruins. Unexpectedly, when they entered the house, they found that it had been tidied up and repaired. The new roof tiles gleamed in the sun, and the freshly painted red beams and columns were bright in color. , also exudes a fragrance.The interior is fully furnished, the furniture is brand new, and even the bedding is prepared.It was as if the owner of the house had never left.

Returning to his former home again, Gu Chengye was filled with emotion, his memory was shortened, as if he had not been away from home for a long time, and the tragic death of his parents was vivid in his memory, as if it happened yesterday.

The old house was brought back extremely smoothly, so smooth that Gu Chengye himself was extremely surprised.

He asked the magistrate of Yangzhou, and the magistrate only said that it was the above.The massacre of extermination had not been solved. The imperial court wanted to comfort the Gu family, so it not only returned the old house, but also allocated a sum of money to allow Gu Chengye to re-bury his parents and relatives.

Gu Chengye remembers the gangsters of the Jiaosha Gang. Those who broke into the mansion back then had a hideous fish carved on their knife handles, which was the unique symbol of the famous Jiaosha gang in the Yangtze River Basin.

He wanted revenge and went to inquire, but the insider told him that the Jiaosha Gang was slaughtered by one person in one night three years ago, and the corpse of the leader of the Jiaosha Gang was exposed. The discoloration changed, everyone said it was done by an assassin, the methods were clean and ruthless, and no one was left alive.

In any case, the vengeance of his parents and relatives has been avenged, and now Gu Chengye is starting a business in a tea house and an embroidery workshop, only thinking about taking good care of his only younger sister.

He casually picked up a fragrant pear from the stone table next to him and shook it, "Brother will peel the pear for you. I remember that you liked this the most when you were young. At that time, you were less than two years old, and it was not good to say anything." Suo, yelling at me 'Yeah, mud, I want to eat mud.'”

Jiaoru laughed "puchi", and then had a sad face again, "I was too young at that time, and I didn't remember much. I can't even remember what my father and mother looked like."

Gu Chengye paused, and said softly, "I'll draw some portraits later, and you'll know what your parents look like when you see them."

While peeling pears with a small silver knife, he continued: "Later, you and I, brother and sister, lived on the street begging for a living. Once a woman from a family saw that you were cute, so she gave you a pear. If you are reluctant to eat it, you must eat it with me. I will tell you, "Mu Ru, eat it by yourself. You cannot separate pears. My brother and you will never be separated." You were snatched away by a fat boy, and you cried a lot."

Wei Ru laughed, "I have the impression that I cried not because of that pear, but because you had a fight with that fat boy, and your nose was bruised and your face was swollen by that fat boy, and the left eye was black. , I freaked out and held your arms and cried and said 'I don't eat pears anymore, I don't eat pears anymore.' I remember it right, isn't it?".

The two brothers and sisters could only recall what happened when they were children. Gu Chengye smiled and pointed to his eyes, "It's almost the same, but the right eye was beaten blue."

Wei Ru smiled and said, "That's right, there are many children surrounding you, clapping their hands and laughing at you, calling you 'Wuyanqing, Wuyanqing!'"

Blue eyes?A trace of strangeness flashed across my heart, and a carefree voice sounded from the depths of my memory, "My old man called me this word so coldly, it's actually called 'Wuyanqing', every time I hear someone call me that, I can't wait to say goodbye Hit your head against a post."

Gu Chengye shook his head, his mind was confused again, who would call such a cold name?

He speeded up the speed of peeling the pears, his hands were steady, and the peeled peels were as thin as a cicada's wings, continuous.

His eyes fell on his right hand, which was tied in a beautiful knot with a red silk thread on his wrist.It's strange for a man to wear this, not to mention that the silk thread is not an expensive ornament, and the color is old and dusty.But he just couldn't bear to take it off.

A butterfly flew from among the flowers, fluttering up and down around him with its silvery wings.Before he could react, the knife in his hand flew out. There was a soft "duh", and when I looked up, I found that the butterfly was nailed to the tree trunk by a knife, and its wings were still shaking.

Gu Chengye was startled, and Yao Ru also turned his head to look, and said quietly: "Brother, I think the two of us must have been very powerful figures in the past ten years or so."

"Really?" Gu Chengye handed the peeled fragrant pear to his sister.

"Well. It's amazing!" Wei Ru nodded seriously, "As long as I hold my breath, I can feel a stream of air flowing through my body. That day I used that breath to jump up, and guess what? I found myself in the roof."

Afraid that her brother would not believe her, Qiao Ru stood up and jumped, and when she reached the top of the tree, the petals "swished" and fell. She returned to the ground in the rain of flowers, and said firmly, "We must be famous knights with high martial arts skills."

In fact, Gu Chengye also discovered early in the morning that he possesses martial arts, and his kung fu is not weak. When he just returned to Yangzhou, a thief tried to steal his silver bag on the street, but he found out.The thief called a few accomplices, and a group of people surrounded him, but he didn't feel panicked at all.

His body seemed to have its own memory, tossing and turning, punching and kicking, before he understood what was going on, a group of punks were beaten to the ground, some had their teeth knocked out, and some had broken arms.

Gu Chengye remembered the words of the great witch Fan Ming, that he and Yaoru were poisoned by poison before, and were controlled by others. I am afraid that they are not decent, and most likely they are shady and crooked, so he warned Yuanru, "It is better not to show your kung fu in front of people."

Jiao Ru rolled her eyes and hugged his arm, "Brother, I heard that next month there will be a grand event on Yandang Mountain, which is a martial arts conference held once every ten years. People from all sects and sects will send people to attend, let's go see it too. Well, maybe we can see fellow students with the same martial arts as ours."

Gu Chengye naturally disagreed, and said earnestly: "The girl's family is going to see a martial arts conference! Take it easy, and help my brother manage the embroidery village. And you are going to be fast, my brother can't keep you by my side all the time. You always want to marry. These days I am also looking for someone in the city, I must be someone who knows the basics, I don’t want to be rich, but I must be worthy of you in character and knowledge."

Wei Ruyi heard her brother talking clichéd again, and her lips were pouted, "I don't want to marry, I've seen all the sons of merchants in the city, all of them are oily-haired, frivolous philistines, I hate it to death."

Gu Chengye was a little helpless, "You don't like anyone, so you can tell me what the wishful gentleman looks like in your mind."

What it looks like, Yuanru can't tell, but there is always a figure deep in her heart, tall and handsome.No matter how many times she dreamed back at midnight, she would always dream of this man, dressed in black and wearing a scarlet cloak, standing under the full moon.It's just a pity that that person's face is always blurred, only a pair of eyes are like burning peach blossoms, and his spirit is flying high.

Wei Ru was a little upset, and retorted casually, "My brother hasn't married a wife yet, why are you so anxious to marry me off? Since you do business with merchants in Yangzhou City every day, you might as well pay attention to which ladies are virtuous and beautiful, and find them If people come to propose marriage, I can also have multiple sisters-in-law who love me."

Gu Chengye smiled wryly. He thought about trying to be a normal person, but he found that he was not interested in women at all. Who knows what he has experienced in these years.There is always a vague voice in my memory saying to him, "Cheng Ye, in the next life..."

That voice echoed in his mind, but it was a man's voice, full of reluctance and helplessness, which made Gu Chengye feel heartbroken for no reason, as if an extremely important person had left him.

Gu Chengye rubbed his temples with his fingers, it turned out that he was still a broken sleeve.

Ever since he got rid of the Gu poison in southern Xinjiang, he felt the desolation and sadness deep in his heart all the time. It was a feeling of nothing to love. The heart and body were separated, but a dead heart It happened to be beating in a living body, and every day and every moment of living was an unbearable torture.Several times he cut his wrist with a dagger, watching the bright red blood swarming out, he felt a kind of joy and relief that he was about to be relieved.I really want to sleep forever.

At the last moment, he still gave up. First of all, he was worried about his younger sister, and how could he, as an older brother, die with peace of mind if she had no home to return to.Secondly, he is not reconciled, he can't let go of the shadow and the sigh in his heart, even if he dies, he has to remember that person before he dies.For oblivion is worse than death.He even regretted dispelling the Gu, if he had known that he would lose his memory, he would rather carry the Gu poison and have all the clear memories of that person at the same time.

Wei Ru shook his sleeves and begged, "Brother, let's go to Yandang Mountain to have a look. I'm getting bored from staying at home all day, so go and have a look. I promise nothing will happen."

Gu Chengye put down his hand on his temple, and tapped on Qingru's smooth forehead, "Elder brother is like father, if I say no, then I won't!"

As a result, the servant girl came early the next morning to report that the young lady was gone.Gu Chengye put his hand on his forehead, this girl doesn't look like a lady from a famous family, she has such a wild temper, she can run away whenever she wants.

As a qualified elder brother, Gu Chengye had no choice but to put down what he was doing and go to Yandang Mountain to catch his fleeing sister.Unexpectedly, during the trip to Yandang Mountain, Maoru met the man in his dream. Since then, he has been like a broken kite, never wanting to come back.

It was already late spring when Gu Chengye returned to Yangzhou City alone. Although the weather was still cool and comfortable in the morning and evening, it was already very hot at noon, and the sun was shining brightly.

Outside his house, he saw a person squatting at the gate, shrugging his shoulders and shrugging his shoulders, his head was slumped by the sun above his head, as pitiful as a stray dog, but he didn't know where to squat.

"Where did the idiot come from?" Gu Chengye glanced at it, then went straight into the mansion with a slander.

When the door was about to be closed, a foot wearing black soap boots came in through the crack of the door.A voice shouted, "Hey, my foot is broken, my foot is broken, it hurts so much!"
