Beat Generation

Chapter 45 Chapter 44

Longan.

Zhuang Mei has been fond of a fruit since she was a child.

When she first learned from her grandpa that this small round transparent fruit is called longan, her eyes widened immediately, because she had already learned from her mother that the majestic dragon had left this place a long time ago. world.

Mom said, Long, probably won't come back again.

Xiao Zhuangmei cried when she heard the bad news. She always thought that dragons really existed. As long as she grows up a little more and observes the vast universe with Uncle Chen's friends, one day she will be able to see it in the endless sky. A free and ferocious true dragon.

Different from other children, Xiao Zhuangmei feels that the most powerful animal in the world is not a lion or a tiger on the grassland, but a dragon that roams in the sky.

Speaking of the reason why Xiao Zhuangmei has such a recognition, it is necessary to talk about her grandfather's dragon robe. Once in the spring, Xiaozhuangmei and her younger brother went to live with her grandfather for a while, and her grandfather would always put her Take out the dragon robe and tell Xiao Zhuangmei stories about dragons, often all night long. Xiao Bo Hui always falls asleep after listening to it, but Xiao Zhuangmei can hear the dawn all the time. Her little hands would stroke the lifelike dragon on the dragon robe for a long time, and no one knew what was going on in her little head.

Grandpa will always touch Xiao Zhuangmei's head after the story is over and say, remember, child, you are a descendant of the dragon.

Later, my father would caress Xiao Zhuangmei's little head and say, son, we are descendants of dragons, we have always been invincible, invincible, and will never admit defeat.

However, the dragon has left this treacherous world long ago, and now, only a pair of eyes are left in the world. Zhuang Mei often thought, if these sweet and juicy longan eyes are really the eyes of the dragon, then the dragon is not only full of power , but also extraordinarily kind, leaving the eyes as a fruit eaten by the world?

At this moment, Zhuang Mei was wearing a holy wedding dress, sitting in front of a huge row of crystal mirrors, staring at a string of longan in a gold-encrusted fruit plate... She remembered Wen Xi's teasing tone when she was trying on the wedding dress, and remembered Four years earlier, she had been locked in that dark room, during the month of hunger strike in an attempt to be free.

During that month, after Wen Xi confirmed that she really wanted to go on a hunger strike, she stopped asking the guards to bring food, and instead brought over baskets of longan, which just fell on the ground.

One week without eating or drinking is fine, but one month is definitely not enough. Wen Xi hasn't come to see her since the day she let go of the longan, and Zhuang Mei survived on the longan that almost rotted in that place. moon.

From then on, whenever she saw Longan again, she would subconsciously feel sick.

In all her nightmarish memories, there is the sour smell of rotten longan, which has been permeating all the way to this day.

It was also during that month of dark captivity, the lively dragon that had lived in Zhuang Mei's heart for a long time, became dying, and in the days that followed, Wen Xi and all the changes finally swarmed up, strangling the dragon in her heart alive .

Someone pushed open the door of the bride's room, and the noisy voice immediately flooded into Zhuang Mei's ears. She turned her head slightly to look at Mo Li who opened the translucent lace curtain and walked in.

"Are you feeling okay? There are more and more guests. In about 10 minutes, we will leave for the cathedral, and go directly to the palace after the ceremony."

Zhuang Mei nodded, and Mo Li felt that there was no joy in her eyes, probably because she was really nervous. She whispered, "Miss Ershan has been welcoming guests. Since six o'clock, there have been more and more guests. She asked me to tell you that she misses you terribly in the crowd and hopefully you are thinking of her right now."

Zhuang Mei nodded again. She turned her head and looked at herself in the mirror. This layered wedding dress was like a cocoon inlaid with various gemstones. She was wrapped in this cocoon, her hands and feet could not move rashly, only Can distinguish everything in front of you with a pair of eyes.

She tried so hard to raise her hand, but unfortunately the diamond chain on her hand was still attached to her sinking. Seeing this, Mo Li hurried over and helped her raise her hand.

"What are you going to do?"

Zhuang Mei raised her head slightly, and asked softly, "The necklace on my neck is so heavy, it makes me itchy."

Mo Li sighed. The diamond necklace on her neck is worth hundreds of billions. It's not just a string of chains, but an incomparably rare diamond. "Then let me touch it for you. Why are you itchy?"

Mo Li gently put her hand under her veil and stroked her neck, but Zhuang Mei always felt that she was touching the necklace around her neck.

In fact, she didn't feel itchy, but felt that this necklace was prickly, because this necklace did not belong to the Wu family at all, but originally belonged to her Bo family. It was the most precious necklace in her grandma's dressing box.

Yes, a string of necklaces that had long since disappeared from Zhuang Mei's memory and now appeared in front of Zhuang Mei's eyes again.

Every time she wears it for an additional minute, her whole body hurts bitingly. Blood seems to seep from the necklace, and the invisible blood rolls down into her heart drop by drop.

There was one thing she found very strange, she seemed to never be able to remember her father's appearance when he was hanged in public, no matter how hard she tried to recall, the last side was still blurred.

At that time, she was obviously mixed with her mother in the execution ground, and she and her mother watched the entire execution process together. In the middle, after the judge read out her father's crimes, her mother originally wanted to cover her eyes, but she fought hard. Opened, her eyes widened as she watched her father's proud head tucked into the rough noose.

And then... everything is blurred.

When Bo Zhengtao died, everyone clapped their hands and cheered. A wave of onlookers rushed forward and threw stones at his body.

They were densely packed like tumbling termites, covering Zhuang Mei's sight. At that time, as now, Zhuang Mei's ears kept echoing what his father said to her before he was arrested.

Bo Mei: Dad, are there really dragons in this world?

Bo Zhengtao: My child, if you have a dragon in your heart, there will be a dragon in this world. If you don't die, the dragon will never die.If you live, the dragon will live, and when you grow up, the dragon will grow up with you.

However, Long left this world, so did her father, her mother, and her younger brother went into exile overseas, and she was the only one left in the vast southern country.

Zhuang Mei closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks, and when she opened them again, Mo Li had already left the room, and a short piece of cheerful band music came in, slowly rubbing away the desperation in her heart.

She tried to get back the joy that she should have had when she was wearing the fancy dress, and tried to make her face hidden under the veil have the joy that a bride should have, but all of this was in vain.

---------------------------------

When Wen Xi took off her gloves, she quietly slipped through the narrow door into the dark room, then through the partition of the dark room into the ground, and then pushed a floor from the ground to get out of the ground, and silently entered the bridal room where Zhuang Mei was staying. What she saw was a picture that was beyond her expectations.

... Zhuang Mei just stood quietly in front of the mirror, weeping softly in front of the mirror.

The small body under the wedding veil trembled slightly, like a butterfly that flapped its wings countless times but could not fly.

Wen Xi walked over almost subconsciously, and gently hugged Zhuang Mei from behind.

The little body in her arms was startled, she turned her head, their eyes met, Zhuang Mei pushed Wen Xi away.

"How did you get in!"

"who am I?"

Zhuang Mei desperately held back her tears and took a step back.

"You are Wen Xi." Zhuang Mei said through gritted teeth, "You are that big devil Wen Xi."

Wen Xi's eyes were as warm as the spring breeze just blowing outside the window, she stood two steps away from her, "Why, you finally admitted me? Why didn't you choose to lie to me like Wu Ershan? Lied to me that Zhuang Mei was gone The plane disappeared, and then she met you again, a destined little girl, huh."

"Why should I lie to you? I have nothing to do with you. Besides, you didn't recognize me. "

"You really killed me time and time again. I almost thought you were dead." Wen Xi stepped over and hugged Zhuang Mei. Zhuang Mei was startled and panicked at the moment. Coupled with the wedding dress that tied her hands and feet, she would be soft if she didn't pay attention. He fell into Wen Xi's arms.

When she realized that struggling was futile, Wen Xi raised her hand and lifted her veil.

"You just stand under the orchids and watch the show, watching me think you are dead, watching me rush into the rain, and search all the streets and alleys of the capital to find you, Zhuang Mei, there is no one more heartless than you Even if I have raised a dog in the past five years, I should bark twice when I see the former owner. Hmm." Wen Xi squeezed Zhuang Mei's chin vigorously, and her nose was close to Zhuang Mei's, " What did that guy Wu Ershan do to you to make you look like you are now!"

Zhuang Mei clenched her lower lip, "Is it okay for me to be like this now?"

"Of course not. It's very ugly. What's the matter with you?"

"It's ugly, the three of you have been staring at me." Zhuang Mei turned her head, Wen Xi asked her again like crazy, Zhuang Mei shook her head and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I don't Know why I am like this."

"..." Wen Xi looked into her eyes and immediately believed her. She let go of her slightly and asked again: "Why are you crying?"

"I didn't cry." Zhuang Mei immediately denied.

Wen Xi stopped talking, just hugged Zhuang Mei like this, Zhuang Mei didn't struggle anymore, she even put her head on Wen Xi's shoulder, and looked at Wen Xi quietly, under such blank gaze, Wen Xi patted her cheek, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I miss my mother. My mother said before that when I got married, she must prepare for my wedding with her own hands. Prepare everything." Zhuang Mei began to shed tears as she spoke. She sobbed and said, "I also Miss my dad, miss my brother, miss me..."

Wen Xi put her fingers on Zhuang Mei's lips, and said softly, "Today, they will definitely be with you."

"Hey, Wen Xi, please forgive me."

"what?"

"I said, it was my father who killed your father, and your father's death was indeed caused by my father."

Wen Xi clenched her hands tightly, looking at Zhuang Mei's teary eyes like this.

"My father is dead too. Forgive me."

Wen Xi's eyes were red, she turned her head away, and looked at the newlywed decorations in the room, "Hey, Bo Mei, why should I forgive you just because of your words? There is no such cheap thing in the world."

Zhuang Mei blinked, and looked at Wen Xi's side face timidly. She touched Wen Xi's face, and Wen Xi lowered her head and kissed her hard.

A kiss, as if taking all the breath out.

When they separated, both of them gasped. Zhuang Mei realized that her waist was too tight, and she couldn't breathe smoothly. After a while, her face turned purple from holding back. Wen Xihe stopped, and quickly pulled her back from behind The wedding dress, and when she saw the same tattoos on her back as before, Wen Xi finally showed a satisfied smile on her face, and she gently stroked those tattoos that she had left with her own hands.

"Long time no see, Zhuang Mei."

Wen Xi put her face on the tattoo, as if she hadn't really been sure until this moment that the little girl in front of her was Zhuang Mei who had been fighting wits and courage with her day and night for five years.

And when Wen Xi called her that way, Zhuang Mei really felt that the former Bo Mei had died, and Wen Xi had only used five years to turn her into an ordinary Zhuang Mei.

For this reason, Zhuang Mei broke down in tears again.

Wen Xi was taken aback, thinking that she was still unable to breathe, so she simply took off the wedding dress, leaving only the petticoat inside, hugged Zhuang Mei horizontally, and asked her softly: "What's wrong with you, is there something wrong? ?Where does it hurt?"

"Bo Mei is dead, she is dead." Zhuang Mei said distressedly.

"No, she's not dead. She's alive. She's in your heart. But I have to tell you, she's only in your heart. If you get naughty again, and let her out of your heart, then, sure It will cause a catastrophe." Wen Xi kissed her smooth forehead and said with firm eyes.

"It was you who killed her. You spent five years slowly putting her to death."

Faced with such bloody and heavy accusations, Wen Xi laughed out loud instead. She thought for a while, then shrugged and said, "I can't kill her. If I could kill her, you wouldn't have the guts to come and marry Wu Ershan."

The conversation between the two, if others listened to it, would definitely be misleading. Only the two of them, you and me, spoke for a long time like a needle point. In the end, Wen Xi wiped Zhuang Mei away. When she was about to turn around and give Zhuang Mei the wedding gift she brought to her, she suddenly felt a cold sharp knife pressed against her waist.

Wen Xi looked down, Zhuang Mei was holding a knife and pointing it at her waist.

With a little force, it can pass through her evening dress and enter her body.

"Look, Bo Mei is not dead, she is going to kill me now."

Wen Xi whistled softly proudly, as if very satisfied with Zhuang Mei's current appearance.

"I said why you behave like a cat around Wu Ershan. It turns out that you have become such a ghost, and your body is very weak. Look at the way you hold a knife now, it is much worse than five years ago."

Zhuang Mei rubbed against Wen Xi with the blade trembling slightly, "How did you get in, you will definitely be able to take me out. Quick, take me out."

"We can't get out. There are not only bodyguards from the Wu family, but also bodyguards from the Zhan family." Wen Xi leaned back and said in agreement, "But I agree with you. good idea."

"go!"

Wen Xi raised her hands, "Don't shake your blade like this, I will try my best to cooperate with you."

Zhuang Mei took a deep breath, she only felt that her hands were trembling badly, and the playful smile on Wen Xi's face was particularly dazzling. She urged her again and again, but Wen Xi finally shut up. She fell, but fortunately Wen Xi caught her.

The underground path was very narrow, and the two of them struggled to move one after the other.

"Whose mouse is this that can make holes like this?" Zhuang Mei said.

Wen Xi laughed again, "Don't get me wrong, this hole has nothing to do with me. It's just that some people who couldn't see the woman they loved married someone's father, and in a fit of anger, made a hole early, planning to kidnap the bride. As a result, I miscalculated the auspicious time and missed it."

Zhuang Mei didn't have the time to listen to other people's love affairs. There are many nobles in the capital who come here to get married. It's not unusual for such absurd things to happen. Some of the crowd came to the small auditorium behind the auditorium.

When I was in the bride's room, I didn't expect that there would be so many people outside. As soon as I went outside, the voices of people came from all directions.

"The number of guests here today is twice as many as you imagined. Since your family fell, many upstarts have risen, some of which you may not know."

"Let's go!" Zhuang Mei pressed a knife against Wen Xi's waist. Unexpectedly, instead of avoiding it, Wen Xi took off her coat, wrapped it around Zhuang Mei who was only wearing a petticoat, and put her white top hat on On Zhuang Mei's head, after changing her clothes, she hugged her slightly, Zhuang Mei was about to look up at her, but Wen Xi patted her on the shoulder, "Hold the knife steady, don't look up, move forward, Mo turn back."

Zhuang Mei really didn't know if she was threatening Wen Xi, or if Wen Xi was threatening her?

The two walked forward along the path next to the grassland, passing by many people, but they didn't show their secrets. The huge back door surrounded by flowers was close in front of them. Zhuang Mei was about to push Wen Xi to go there, but Wen Xi didn't Moved.

Zhuang Mei pushed twice more, but Wen Xi still didn't move.

Zhuang Mei raised her head and looked in the direction Wen Xi was looking at.

———I saw Zhan Banbi in a maroon dress standing by the back door, his elk-like eyes looked towards this side as if he had discovered something, even though the guests in the garden were coming and going, She couldn't stop her gaze from looking here.

Before Zhuang Mei came back to her senses, there were already three bodyguards standing beside her and Wen Xi. Wen Xi didn't move, and she didn't move either. They could only watch Zhan Banbi walk over.

"Wen Xi, the wedding hasn't started yet. We can't start the bridal chamber at this time." Zhan Banbi said with a smile.

"Then... the game is over." Wen Xi turned sideways, but Zhuang Mei immediately clasped her waist, and the knife in her hand also appeared at this moment, and Zhan Banbi's expression turned serious, "Children can't play with knives." Yes, good boy, give the knife to the bodyguard."

"Wow! Where did the knife come from? I didn't see it just now. You saw it too. I was forced to do nothing. It seems that this game is not over yet." Wen Xi thought for a while, "Our little lady Wu is in a hurry. , I want to see Er Shan. I'll take her to see her right now."

Zhuang Mei pushed Wen Xi forward, and when the two walked past Zhan Banbi in this way, Zhan Banbi put his arm around Zhuang Mei's shoulder, Zhuang Mei was startled, and instinctively stretched out the knife, Zhan Banbi turned sideways to hide In the past, Zhan Banbi was not scratched in the end, but missed, and Wen Xi's face was scratched.

Immediately, there was a thin blood mark on Wen Xi's face, Zhuang Mei opened her eyes wide and just looked at Wen Xi.

At this time, Wen Xi's brother ran over. When she saw Zhuang Mei, she was startled, and then quickly covered Wen Xi's face with a handkerchief, "Does it hurt?"

Wen Xi pressed the handkerchief, "Mrs. Wu, I can't play games with you anymore. I have a gift for you."

She took out a rectangular box from the pocket of Zhuang Mei's coat, "I thought on my own initiative that the necklace on your neck might make you uncomfortable, so I chose another one on my own initiative." I give you a necklace of equal value and beauty, I hope you like it."

"I leave it to you." Wen Xi glanced at Zhan Banbi, and then left with her brother on his arm.

Seeing her leaving back, Zhuang Mei looked around at the guests, finally lowered her hands dejectedly, and handed the blood-stained knife to Zhan Banbi, who took it over.

"go in."

"……Um."

Before going back to the bride's room, firecrackers ignited one after another outside, children's applause came from every corner of the garden, Zhuang Mei lowered her head, and opened the gift box hesitantly, when she saw the necklace lying inside , her face was suddenly pale.

I saw a small diamond-shaped card lying on the necklace, which read:

My son:

Happy wedding.

love you forever.
