A single tree becomes a banyan

Ants crawled across the ground in groups, forming a black line. Su Rong and Zhong Li sat on the small bench, watching them bustling around under the scorching sun, they really felt the joy of reuniting after a long absence.

Zhong Li relayed Murong Xing's oral instructions to Su Rong, emphasizing the wind under the forest, Su Rong smiled and comforted her: "'Wind under the forest' is simply a compliment to you, now she won't recognize me, even if she moves away Come here, I'll just avoid it."

"I recognize you, wouldn't she recognize you?"

Facing Zhong Li's question, Su Rong smiled slightly, pointed to his own face and said, "If you saw Su Rong die with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe the nonsense of this face."

Zhong Li recalled the first day when he met Su Rong, he praised Su Rong for his great improvement in disguise, but he didn't know that there were some things that Su Rong couldn't do at all——Su Rong and Zhong Li were convinced that he was Su Rong. Only then did he tell the truth: "I met an expert to help me, and I was able to escape from the sky. No matter how superb the disguise technique is, it is not as powerful as an expert who changes faces."

After Su Rong finished speaking, she fell to the ground and couldn't get up, Zhong Li was in a hurry and kept watch for 49 days, worrying every day, hoping that she would wake up slowly.

Su Rong woke up feeling weak and dozed off non-stop, but she didn't feel better.How she escaped, Zhong Li couldn't think about it, and didn't dare to think about it.Just changing her face was enough to make her feel unbelievable for the rest of her life.

One day when Su Rong woke up, she felt refreshed. Zhong Li asked her: "Can you introduce me to this expert? If I hadn't been humiliated by Di Xin because of my appearance, I wouldn't have destroyed the piano impulsively."

"An expert is not an expert, but a monster. It's hard to repay a favor, let alone make a deal with a monster." Seeing that Zhong Li was absent-minded, Su Rong stretched out his hand to shake her, "If she wants your piano skills as a price, do you want to pay for it?" Do not change?"

Zhong Li suddenly came back to his senses and shook his head resolutely.

Su Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief: She's not afraid of monsters, she's only afraid of people's hearts, people's hearts are fickle!

"Li, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Although this is a simple life, it is your own choice. I have always envied you very much. If I could leave the palace in anger like you, or endure many insults, I am afraid I would not be so... Such a wonderful life."

Zhong Li knew what Su Rong was worried about, and he was a little ashamed, so he changed the subject: "The monster helped you escape, so he left you alone? My place is remote, and I'm really afraid that I can't take good care of you."

"Take me in." Su Rong smiled wryly, "I have no choice in my life, and I have no home to return to."

Zhong Li was startled, and silently held Su Rong's hand.

"I heard that Murong Xing didn't kill your child, and he wouldn't kill you if he thought about it. Why are you so afraid of her?"

"She didn't kill my child, what does that mean? Maybe it was to lure me back... to kill them together."

"Su Rong!"

Zhong Li was so shocked that he called out his name, Su Rong smiled slightly, she was not stupid.

Even if Su Rong doesn't love Di Xin, it's a fact that she gave birth to a remnant for Di Xin, she has no face to be loyal to Su Xing.What's more, Su Xing is no longer Su Xing... If she easily forgives Murong Xing's ambition, how can she be worthy of the wronged Ji Wen under Jiuquan, and her infatuation of playing the piano all night.

Zhong Li thought about it calmly, and it was not impossible, so he felt uneasy: "If Murong Xing can't catch you, what will you do if you want to kill that child?"

"I can't help it..." Su Rong's eyes were red, "My ability is limited to giving birth to him, and I have no ability to protect him. If Murong Xing kills him, I can only curse her behind my back."

The bitter smell of the medicine overflowed, and the two were relatively speechless. Su Rong frowned and drank the medicine, feeling bitter in her heart.

She hummed a leisurely little tune:

"Follow Biru's grave, and cut down its pieces. If you don't see a gentleman, you will be ashamed."

Zhong Li listened quietly, felt the tune was familiar, and looked at Su Rong involuntarily. It wasn't until the firewood burned to ashes that she remembered that it was a folk song sung by a woodcutter who went up the mountain to chop wood.Surprised, Zhong Li took the bowl where Su Rong had finished drinking the medicine, and tapped it with his chopsticks to accompany him.

"Follow Biru's grave, and cut down his strips. Once I see a gentleman, I don't want to abandon it. The royal family is ruined. Although it is ruined, my parents are Konger."

After enjoying the song, Su Rong's eyes became even more smiling, and he patted Zhong Li's hand holding chopsticks, saying earnestly: "The official of the Yuefu is small, but he has great energy. Good music is the most inspiring. It's a pity that you don't play the piano. Beautiful things must always be passed on.”

Zhong Li's eyes flickered for a moment, and he withdrew his hand: "I... am not worthy of playing the piano."

"I fixed the broken piano."

Before the words fell, Zhong Li's eyes were overjoyed, and Su Rong changed the subject again: "But it was thrown in the Zhaixing Tower that night... You go back and look for it, maybe it's gone, or someone picked it up... If you can find it, it's fine." Return it to its original owner, don't thank me."

"Really?"

"real."

Su Rong nodded, very frankly: "You can go to Yuefu to pick up the piano, and leave this temple to me, after all, I am a real widow."

Zhong Li's joy faded a little, and he said distressedly: "You have lived a miserable life with Di Xin, and you can't get rid of his shadow after he dies...I don't trust you."

"It was tough at the beginning, but life is very rewarding when you have a high status." Su Rong smiled, "After all, you have to pay for everything you get, and I have long since let go of that."

Zhong Li put away the bamboo chopsticks, covered the medicine bowl and medicine pot, arranged everything, turned around and solemnly thanked Su Rong: "The one thing that Murong Xing has done me the most is let me know you. And what I am sorry for her is Didn't take good care of you."

"It's enough to be sorry for myself." Su Rong smiled mockingly, "I'm tired from sitting, and I don't know when I'll wake up when I go back to bed. Remember to lock the door when you leave."

After finishing speaking, Su Rong patted her buttocks and got up.

"Don't sleep yet." Zhong Li hastily called Su Rong to stop, "I'll play a song for you, what do you want to hear?"

"No need, let's give the empress the first shot."

"But I still owe you a song."

Su Rong walked to the entrance, hurriedly stretched out her hand to support the door, looked back and smiled slightly: "How can you talk about the word 'ow' between friends."

Su Rong lay down on and off for half a year, during which time she took care of herself to take medicine and sang songs to please herself, all her injuries were healed, and now she can manage the temple and start a family while recuperating.

You Qi helped her plant a small banyan tree in front of the door before Zhong Li left, and Su Rong never forgot to get up early to water it.

It is rare to have an ordinary and comfortable life, and cherish it while doing it.

It is said that when Zhong Li went to Murong Xing with anticipation and hope, the atmosphere in the court had already been ten times better than that of Emperor Xin.It is not easy for Murong Xing to ascend to the emperor as a woman, and it is even more difficult to defend the country. Although asking Zhong Li to go home is suspected of buying people's hearts, the Zhong family has been loyal to the empress since then, which can be regarded as seeking benevolence.
