i'm not human

Chapter 18, Cause and Effect

Kong Yan saw the expression of "I contracted this auction house for you" on his face, he couldn't laugh or cry but was a little moved at the same time - he liked the feeling that he was not alone.So he smiled gratefully at Cang Li.

Cang Li looked at his smile, and suddenly covered his heart, although his expression was still calm, but he was shouting in his heart—this kind of auction can really come a few more times, Yan Yan’s smile is so beautiful, I really want to Watch it a few more times!

The first items to be auctioned were basically ancient calligraphy and paintings, as well as some fragments of inscriptions.Kong Yan regarded it as a practical class and watched it very seriously.When it was the turn of a rubbing to start shooting, Cang Li, who had been in a daze with a lack of interest, suddenly said, "I know this person."

Kong Yan was taken aback, "Who? Do you know?" He looked at the booth, thinking that Cang Li was talking about someone who appeared on the stage, but he didn't expect to hear him say, "It's the writer, I know him .”

Kong Yan silently closed his mouth, oh, I forgot that you are a "non-human" who may have been hundreds or thousands of years old.Can't help but do the math again, the dynasty to which this stele belongs has been more than 2000 years ago, so Cang Li is at least 2000 years old, right?

He glanced at Cang Li, who was still handsome and unrestrained, killing male models and little fresh meats in seconds, and said good time is a butcher's knife?

"I had a drink with this person." Cang Li recalled while pointing to the details of the lot being displayed on the big screen.Because his life is too long, his memory is very complicated. For him, human beings only live for a hundred years, and there is not even a trace left in his life.The reason why he remembered this person was because the words he wrote about human beings were so ugly that he couldn't bear to look directly at them.Later, after getting to know this person, the other party taught him calligraphy for a year, and only then did Cang Li have the calligraphy of Walking the Dragon with his own hand, which is very successful in pretending to be x.

Of course, these secrets are not suitable for others to know, especially not for Kong Yan.

So Cang Li omitted most of the latter, and only mentioned the beginning of the story, "I was traveling around the world at that time, and I often found places to drink at random. I lay down in caves and on top of trees. Because I couldn't find that Important person, I was in a bad mood, so I drank wine on the roof of a dilapidated pavilion in the mountains. The pavilion was really broken, and I still remember it vividly. Then I met a A middle-aged man who is engraving a stele.

He said that his wife was buried not far away and had been dead for ten years, but he often dreamed of her.So he thought, often in my dreams, is it because she misses me every night?After much deliberation, he finally decided to engrave what he wanted to say to his wife on the stone tablet, hoping that when she saw it, she would know that he hadn't forgotten her, and was thinking of her all the time, so she wouldn't cry anymore. "

Cang Li still remembered that the middle-aged man was crying while talking, with a lot of snot and tears streaming down his nose. He didn't know much about sentimental creatures like human beings at that time, so he silently handed him a bottle of wine.

In the end, he didn't expect to cry even more when he was drunk, which made him a fool at the time.

Quietly looking at Kong Yan who was engrossed in listening, Cang Li continued to recall, "Later I also told him that I had been looking for a very important person, but I couldn't find it for a long time, so I was very sad. So we two A frustrated man just sat in the air-leakage pavilion, enjoying the breeze, looked at the moon from the pavilion cover made of tattered thatch and dead branches, and drank a jar of wine."

After speaking, he looked at the enlarged picture of the rubbings of the rubbings on the screen, "If I'm not mistaken, the words I'm selling should be carved by him that day while drinking." I don't know if there are tears or snot on the stele.

After Kong Yan listened, he hurriedly wanted to raise a placard to participate in the bidding. He felt that with such memories, this rubbing should have a very unusual meaning to Cang Li, right?

In the end, Cang Li stopped him.

"To me, he is just a slightly special passer-by. Do you care about mayflies that live and die? Besides, these memories are enough, why care about those dead things?" He said very plainly, The eyes are also calm.

Kong Yan was stunned, and stopped his hand that was about to raise a placard to bid. Only then did he realize that perhaps only human beings with a short life span of a hundred years would be particularly fond of these ancient relics preserved in the torrent of time, right?Because what humans cannot achieve is longevity.

But for Cang Li, life is extremely long.It has been so long that the people I knew have died, the house I used to live in has disappeared, the rocks have turned into lakes, the sea has turned into mulberry fields, and I am still living in this world.Would it be lonely if you were alone?

When he came back to his senses, Kong Yan said nana, "Then...the important person you mentioned has never been found, what about now?" He paused, then asked hesitantly, "Have you found it now? "

After hearing what he said, Cang Li looked at him intently, with a half-smile, and asked, "What do you think?"

After more than ten seconds of silence, in Cang Li's eyes gradually filled with a smile, Kong Yan finally realized slowly - the person he was looking for turned out to be himself.After years of searching, I finally found it.

For a while, I didn't know what to say.In his head for a while, he looked like he was drinking with a wine jar, and for a while, he looked like he was alone in the past, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

This is the weight given by time.

So many days and nights, so many springs and autumns, he just searched for it year after year.Kong Yan suddenly remembered that when the two met for the first time, he asked in the empty stone room, are you waiting for me?Later Cang Li answered him - yes, I am waiting for you.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt his eyes a little sore.How can I be missed by you for so long?

Kong Yan was just being moved and thinking wildly, so why on earth did I let Cang Li look for it for so long?Could it be that I committed a crime and was suppressed under some mountain for thousands of years?Or fell in love with Cang Li and left in a fit of anger and then avoided him for thousands of years?Or maybe I poured water on him and he has been looking for me in order to repay my kindness?Then how did I become "Kong Yan"?

The more he thought about it, the more messy he became. Kong Yan felt that he could change his career as a screenwriter and focus on filming dog-blood dramas, which would definitely be popular.

Cang Li saw Kong Yan sitting there distraught, looking like he was about to cry for a while, and bewildered for a while.He was too scared to speak anymore—could it be that the information he revealed frightened him?He hasn't said anything yet!What exactly did Yan Yan come up with?

Moreover, it is only 2000 years, if he knew that he had waited for him for a full 10 years, would he be so moved that he would directly agree with him?

It wasn't until the finale of "The Valley of Splendid Flowers" that Kong Yan regained his energy.This peerless solitary copy, which had not been seen in the world for hundreds of years before it flowed out from the Tingyun Tower, has long attracted the attention of many people.He clenched his clenched hands tightly, feeling that his palms were covered with cold sweat, and his mouth felt a little dry.

Seeing that he was so nervous, Cang Li got up and sat next to him, breaking off his tightly clenched fingers one by one, "Buy as soon as you buy, don't pinch yourself." Maybe it was affected by the other party's calm state, Kong Li Yan took a few deep breaths, and smiled a little stiffly.

"I must take this book back." Kong Yan recovered, and stopped looking at Cang Li. Instead, he focused his eyes on the real object of "Valley of Splendid Flowers" that was being displayed downstairs, and said incoherently, "You Maybe I don’t know, I never knew why since I was a child, looking at the things left by the ancestors of the Kong family, I always want to do something, just like this set of ancient books, I really want to take it back to make up for my grandfather’s regret.”

He said things that he would never say normally, and he didn't know whether he was speaking to Cang Li, or he was talking to himself, "I never dared to mess with the furniture at home, such as a bed, a table, etc. , even the small vases, dare not move them. Even if they are forced to move, the back will be put back to the original place. So up to now, even the position of the fish tank in the yard has not changed. Later, according to Grandpa’s wishes, put Most of the antiques were donated, and the remaining ones were not dared to move."

Cang Li gently squeezed Kong Yan's slender fingers, and didn't let him go while he didn't notice. Hearing him say these words in his mind for an unknown number of years, he thought to himself, that's because you subconsciously I knew it was not my home.I just stayed there for a period of time, so I didn't want to touch the owner's things casually, and because I wanted to do something to thank the owner, that's why I was so persistent in this book.

Those who are persistent will almost become demons.

Come to think of it, Kong Yan has such a guess now, right?Knowing that I might not be the real Kong family, that's why I feel restless, full of hesitation and confusion.That's why I want to buy "Valley of Splendid Ten Thousand Flowers" so much, and do something for Grandpa Confucius and his family who are no longer alive.

However, Cang Li closed his eyes, feeling sorry for such a Kong Yan, but he could not expose, speak out, and tell Kong Yan everything he should know.All these require Kong Yan to find the answer by himself—about who he is and where he comes from.

No one can help him, this is the restriction set by heaven on him.And the Kong family is the cause and effect that he needs to repay.

After seven rounds of long bids, Kong Yan finally bought "The Valley of Splendid Thousand Flowers" at a price of 2300 million. The stone that had been resting in his heart for several years finally fell, and his whole body was refreshed and relaxed.

Seeing that he was happy, Cang Li also smiled.

But it seems that he has to work hard to earn extra money. Yan Yan really spends money like a flood. He finally understands the urgency of those men who are eager to earn money to support their families!
