Tang Qianyan

On the day of Lidong, the first snow of this year fell in Beiping.At the first time, the water begins to freeze; at the second time, the ground begins to freeze; at the last time, the pheasant enters the big water and turns into a mirage.

Bai Wusheng got up late today, he dreamed of a huge stone platform, the stone platform was crystal clear and exquisite, and there was a person standing in the center of the platform.

There was a faint sound of konghou in the distance, and then Chang Xiao joined him again, the sound of the piano was clanging, and the sound of the flute repeated, the coordination was perfect.The man on the stage was dressed in red, with theater makeup, singing and dancing, his long sleeves fluttering, and his gaze was tactile.

After the dance was over, the man said softly, "I'm waiting for someone..."

"Who are you waiting for?" Bai Wusheng asked.

"Wait for someone... who won't come back." The man said.

Bai Wusheng was silent for a moment: "Since you're not coming back, why are you waiting?"

The man lowered his eyes and was about to cry. He muttered to himself: "Yes...why do you have to wait..."

In the next moment, the color of the stone platform faded, the music stopped suddenly, the beauty was old, and only bones remained.

Bai Wusheng woke up suddenly, the sun outside the room was dazzling.He got out of bed, opened the curtains, and saw the vastness of the sky and the earth, only to realize that winter had arrived.

When Xiao Wei came to look for Bai Wusheng, he found that his major was not wearing a military uniform today, but was wearing a camel coat and a scarf.

"I won't go to the bureau today, I want to go to a place by myself and give you a day off." Bai Wusheng finished talking to Xiao Wei, and went out alone.

He stopped a rickshaw and went straight to the suburbs.On the beginning of the road, the snow had been cleared a lot, and the snow accumulated deeper and deeper. Seeing that the rickshaw was going hard, Bai Wusheng got out of the rickshaw ahead of time. Walk in a small piece of bamboo forest with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Bamboo was originally a thing in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is very rare in Beiping. It is probably because the ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River, so the Li family chose to be buried here.

It's winter now, but the bamboo forest has a rare green left.Bai Wusheng walked through the bamboo forest and saw his own mausoleum.

There was a person standing in front of the tomb, that person was wearing a plain cotton robe, he turned his head after hearing the noise, and was obviously taken aback when he saw Bai Wusheng.

But he didn't expect to see Tang Qianyan here, so Bai Wusheng walked straight to the tomb without stopping.

It was a very common tombstone, without an epitaph, just engraved with the date and name of birth and death.Bai Wusheng squatted down in front of the tomb, and reached out to touch the inscription. The sunken edges and corners actually had a taste of timelessness, making his fingertips cold and painful.

"Li Shunming..." Bai Wusheng whispered in an almost inaudible voice.

Tang Qianyan looked at Bai Wusheng without saying a word, he didn't understand why he saw him here.

After he shook off Bai Wusheng that day, Bai Wusheng turned his head and left, leaving ashes all over the place, and after that, Tang Qianyan also gradually calmed down.

Maybe, I really have been in the sink for too long, Tang Qianyan thought, so long that I almost forgot about myself.

He would occasionally think of the disappointment on Zhao Yuhua's face when he refused to perform on stage; he would think of the disappointment in Rong Fu's eyes when he had to leave after he could no longer pay the wages; And enthusiasm.

Perhaps because of unwillingness, he wondered why he always had such near-impossible hopes. He felt that Shun Ming would come back.

If it was to wait for Shun Ming to come back, then he could endure all these difficulties and hardships.

"Li Shunming is dead." That day, Bai Wusheng told him over and over again.

So, it's like a dream of yellow beams, and there will be a time when you wake up from the big dream.Tang Qianyan suddenly understood that Li Shunming would not come back.

If he really will come back, there is no reason not to tell himself, and there is no reason to let himself suffer alone.

If he would really come back, then the past six years would be nothing but a joke.

Today is snowy and the north wind is cold. Tang Qianyan came to say goodbye to the grave.

Bai Wusheng was silent in front of the tomb, he didn't know what he was thinking, after a while, he finally got up and went to see Tang Qianyan.

Tang Qianyan was still dressed a little thinly, her lips were bloodless, and when she exhaled, there was a white mist around her mouth.

Bai Wusheng untied his scarf, took a step forward, and wrapped it around Tang Qianyan.

Tang Qianyan hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse. Bai Wusheng's body temperature remained on the scarf, which made him feel very warm.Tang Qianyan lowered her eyes: "Thank you."

Bai Wusheng smiled: "You don't need to thank me, but I don't know if you still remember that you put your cloak on me like this back then."

Tang Qianyan was stunned: "Major Bai and I, did we know each other before?"

He really didn't recognize it.Bai Wusheng thought about it, but asked in a low voice: "If you were using the identity of Li Shunming, wouldn't you reject me thousands of miles away?"

"What?" Tang Qianyan's face was a little unnatural: "Are the major and Shun Ming old friends?"

"Tang Qianyan." Bai Wusheng called him, "I'm Li Shunming."

"I first met you in the courtyard of Jingkou Hutong. I approached you as a long-term worker, but you saw through it later. The Li family's theater building, the wine shop in Jingkou Hutong, Chengyin Building... as long as you are with me I can tell you about your memories." Bai Wusheng said word by word: "Tang Qianyan, I'm back."

Tang Qianyan froze in place, shocked like a bolt from the blue, he felt that his brain had stopped directing actions.

It's not that he hasn't noticed Ni Duan before, he feels that Bai Wusheng's voice is unexpectedly familiar, and Bai Wusheng's smile also makes him inexplicably nostalgic, Bai Wusheng is familiar with the layout of his former house...

Tang Qianyan opened her mouth and said in a daze, "I don't believe it."

"If Shun Ming is still alive," Tang Qianyan said with great difficulty, "It won't be six years, and he will ignore me for six years."

"I'm sorry." Bai Wusheng said, "I'm a coward."

"I don't believe it." Tang Qianyan murmured, he should stop dreaming, the dream should wake up.

Bai Wusheng raised his hand, took off his coat, and unbuttoned the inner lining. He has a slender figure, but there is an obvious gunshot wound on his right shoulder: "After that conflict, I was forced to change my identity and face. , want revenge."

"It's over now, Bai Wusheng is Li Shunming." Bai Wusheng put on his clothes again, and stretched out his hand to pull Tang Qianyan.

"Don't touch me." Tang Qianyan said suddenly.

The movements of Bai Wusheng's hands paused, his eyes complicated: "Haven't you been waiting for me?"

"The Shun Ming I was waiting for," Tang Qianyan smiled coldly and sadly: "I won't be coming back anymore."

Bai Wusheng thought of the dream he had yesterday for no reason, and was a little upset: "What do you want me to do?"

Tang Qianyan raised his eyes, and Bai Wusheng saw tears in his eyes: "It would be great if we never met."

You are still the young master of your Li family, young and frivolous, high-spirited, and want to be a rich boy, safely under the protection of the family, inherit the ancestral business, and marry a wife of the right family.

I still sang operas on my stage, with various appearances, attracting people's admiration, lingering and entertaining banquets, never marrying or marrying, and after teaching a large opera troupe in my old age, I was able to die.

The wind picked up, and when the wind blew through the bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves fluttered and rustled, and the hair on Tangqianyan's forehead was a little messed up, and the tears swayed in the wind, and then scattered.

When the wind stopped, Bai Wusheng heard the sound of the gun being loaded in the silence.

He quickly rushed towards Tang Qianyan, hugged him, and rolled.

The gunshot rang out, and the bullet whizzed past Bai Wusheng's ears wrapped in the wind, as if a sharp blade of wind had cut Bai Wusheng's cheek, and blood overflowed.

"Hurry up and hide behind the tomb!" Bai Wusheng protected Tang Qianyan, staggered a few steps, and got behind the tomb.

"You're bleeding..." Tang Qianyan's voice trembled, she stretched out her hand, and her cold fingertips touched Bai Wusheng's warm blood.

Bai Wusheng raised his hand and held Tang Qianyan's fingertips in his palm: "It's okay, don't let blood stain your hands."

Another gunshot hit the tombstone, splashing mud everywhere.Bai Wusheng cursed in his heart, he didn't wear a military uniform today, so he didn't hold a gun, not to mention the enemy was in the dark while they were in the open.

His itinerary today was on a whim, so the other party must have been following him for a long time, and he also wanted to assassinate him here on the spur of the moment, and the gunman is more likely to act alone. If there were many people, he would have surrounded him long ago. .

A cannon was thrown over and exploded a little further away, splashing flying rocks and sparks, Bai Wusheng held Tangqianyan in his arms, trying not to hurt him, but the flying rock hit him, causing Be embarrassed.

Bai Wusheng smiled wryly, this time he was about to capsize in the gutter.

"Bai Wusheng." Tang Qianyan called him suddenly: "Are we going to die?"

Bai Wusheng was stunned for a moment, and replied softly: "No."

Not to implicate Tang Qianyan, Bai Wusheng gritted his teeth, and said: "You stay here quietly, his target is me, I will lure him away."

"Don't go." Tang Qianyan grabbed Bai Wusheng's clothes tightly.

"You believe me." Bai Wusheng held Tang Qianyan's hand: "I'm just delaying time. After you escape, report my name to the Bai family, and someone will come to rescue me."

"Is it in time?" Tang Qianyan asked.

"Yeah." Bai Wusheng nodded: "It's in time."

Tang Qianyan stared at Bai Wusheng for a long time, then called softly: "Li Shunming."

Bai Wusheng hooked a smile: "I'm here."

"When I recognized you as the young master, you said that you would never hide anything from me again." Tang Qianyan said, "But later, you kept it from me for six years."

Bai Wusheng was a little embarrassed, and heard Tang Qianyan say: "If this time is safe, I will forgive you."

"There must be nothing wrong, promise me, okay?" Tang Qianyan said, eyes like amber.

Bai Wusheng looked at Tang Qianyan's face, bowed his head and kissed her.

Between the intertwined tongue and teeth, I was full of sadness and affection.

This kiss ended Tang Qianyan's request, so in the end, Bai Wusheng did not keep this promise.
