Chapter 24 Conspicuous and hidden

Ding Yin filled the tank with water, threw the wooden bucket aside, sat on the ground, took out a piece of wood and a small knife from his arms, and began to cut it one by one.

He is a man with no past, no future, no idea of ​​who he is, and no memory of the past.Fragmentary memories often appeared in his mind. When those memories appeared, he wanted to find them, but they escaped in a hurry, and only remembered a face.

He wanted to sculpt that face, but it was a pity that he was not skilled enough, and he was not satisfied after several sculpts.The sound of bells ringing in the distance is a signal for the monks to gather.Ding Yin ignored it and continued with the work in hand.

Ding Yin came to this temple ten days ago, before that he had been locked in a stone prison in Changliu.Ding Yin didn't know why he was locked up there, and he couldn't remember how long he was locked up.Sometimes a man in white would visit him and talk to him, but he couldn't understand a word.

What junior, who is your junior, do I know you?What is to correct the evil and return to the right, and focus on goodness.I think it's you who should correct the evil and return to the right, otherwise why would I feel disgusted when I see you.

Later, Ding Yin did not see the man in white for a long time, and when we met again later, the man in white unlocked him and brought him here.Ding Yin didn't bother to think about why the man in white was willing to let him go down the mountain all of a sudden. Anyway, he was glad that he didn't have to see someone he hated.

Ding Yin carved for a while, carefully looked at the puppet in his hand, shook his head and sighed.Still not like, the person in his dream was much prettier than this.

Ding Yin put away the puppets and walked towards the dining hall.In fact, Ding Yin felt that it didn't matter whether he ate or not. Anyway, he stayed in the cave for so long, and he didn't eat much and he didn't starve to death.

Ding Yin walked through the corridor and saw a peach tree in the courtyard, and a person was sitting under the tree.Ding Yin liked peach blossoms, so he glanced at the tree, his eyes caught the profile of the person under the tree, and he stopped in his tracks.

Ding Yin looked at the person carefully, and found that it was not his illusion, this person was [-]-[-]% like the face in his memory!

When Ding Yin stepped forward, he heard the man talking to himself, "Why do you want to let go, in fact, he seems to be the one who refuses to let me go all this time." The man seemed to be caught in his own thoughts, Ding Yin stood He didn't notice it when he was next to him.

Ding Yin stared at the man for a while, then shook his head, Su Zhan realized something was wrong, and when he turned his head, he found that there was another person under the tree.

The man was about the same age as him, and he was not wearing the clothes of the people in the temple, but a brown strong suit.He stood under the tree, tilted his head, and frowned slightly, as if he was trying to think about something.Maybe it was because his eyes were too clear, the expression that should have been a little silly appeared on that handsome face, which made people feel a little...cute?

"Do I know you?" Ding Yin couldn't help asking although he felt that the two were not quite alike.Su Zhan smiled and said, "I didn't know each other before, but I will know each other in the future."

Ding Yin was a little disappointed, and asked again, "Then do you have any brothers?"

Hearing this, Su Zhan remembered the culprit who brought him here, his face became a little ugly, and he glanced at Ding Yin carefully, "What do you want to ask?"

"It's nothing." Ding Yin raised his eyes to look at the falling peach blossoms. He always felt that he had seen such a scene before, where the peach blossoms were flying, and he was practicing sword under the tree... Wait, practicing sword?

Ding Yin's head hurts a bit, preventing him from continuing to think.Su Zhan saw that the person in front of him suddenly hugged his head, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong with you?" Ding Yin ignored him, turned around and left.Su Zhan felt baffled, even before he got angry, the other party left first.

Su Zhan's room is not far from here, so he always likes to come here when he is alone, but he finds that it doesn't seem to work now.

Su Zhan stood under the eaves, watched Ding Yin stand under the tree for a while, then picked up a branch from under the tree and began to gesture.Su Zhan just thought it was fun at first, but gradually he realized something was wrong, it was a sword technique, and it was a very good sword technique.

Ding Yin held the branch, and after completing one move after another, he turned his head and looked to the left.It was just a cloister with nothing in it, but Ding Yin felt that there should have been a pavilion, a Zhangqin platform, and a person there.Thinking of this, Ding Yin took out a jade whistle from his bosom, put it near his mouth and blew it.

Su Zhan couldn't help but walked over and asked, "Do you know swordsmanship?"

Ding Yin shook his head, "I don't know."

"No, you know swordsmanship." Su Zhan liked swords very much. When he saw Ding Yin practicing swordsmanship, he couldn't help saying, "I have an older brother, and his swordsmanship is also very good. We used to..." Thinking of the past, Su Zhan stopped talking and clenched his fists.

"Maybe." Ding Yin said indifferently, "I don't remember anything about the past. However, I quite agree with your point of view."

Su Zhan was puzzled, looked at Ding Yin in confusion, and heard him say, "There was a person before who always wanted me to let go of the past, but I didn't want to. I must get back the memory of the past."

Only then did Su Zhan understand and nodded, deeply agreeing with this.

The two got acquainted from this, often chatting together, and gradually became acquainted.If Su Zhan were to describe Ding Yin in one word, it would probably be simple.With Ding Yin, Su Zhan didn't need to hide. Even though he knew that he wanted to go back and seize the throne, Ding Yin's attitude towards him didn't change at all, which made him feel very relaxed.

Su Zhan often saw Ding Yin carving puppets with a knife, and there were already a dozen of them, but he never showed them to anyone.Su Zhan was curious, so he secretly took a look at it, but after a closer look, the puppet looked a bit like himself.Holding the puppet, Su Zhan couldn't help laughing.

As the days passed, Su Zhan thought he would die here, but unexpectedly received a letter.

Su Heng was seriously ill, so he was called back to the palace to assist him.

Su Heng.Su Zhan clenched the letter in his hand, his body trembling slightly.What is serious illness, but seeing him alive, I don't feel relieved.

Everyone only knew that he, Su Zhan, tried to conspire to usurp the throne and was demoted to a monastery to study quietly, but they didn't know that his rebellion was forced.

Su Zhan was originally the second prince of the Chen Kingdom, because the eldest prince Su Heng was taken hostage by the Wei Kingdom since he was a child, so he has always been treated as a prince by the courtiers, but only he himself knows that he has no interest in the throne at all.

Su Heng's return was a surprise to him. He still remembered the first time they met under the eaves of the palace that day. The man turned around and called him with a smile in his eyes, "Second Brother."

At that time, Su Zhan thought that he really had more brothers.He played chess with him, sipped tea, and studied swordsmanship together. Prime Minister Liu asked him to rebel, but he also directly refused.

He never had the intention of treason, but his imperial brother didn't believe it.After Su Heng came to power, he reduced his power one after another, and all courtiers who supported him would inevitably be demoted in various forms.If Su Zhan could not care about these things, then when Su Heng's assassins sneaked into his room and wanted his life, Su Zhan knew that he had to fight back.

Su Zhan felt guilty for drugging Su Heng.But when he led his people into the palace and saw Su Heng coming out from behind the screen unscathed, clapping his hands, looking at him with contempt and saying that he couldn't sit there, he suddenly understood: all this was nothing but Su Heng designed a trap to frame him.Even if he did not rebel, Su Heng would not tolerate him.

"What are you thinking, so engrossed." Ding Yin came over and patted him on the shoulder.

Su Zhan stared at Ding Yin for a while, and Ding Yin was about to ask him if he had taken the wrong medicine, so Su Zhan grabbed his arm. "Ding Yin, would you like to go back to the palace with me?"

Um?Ding Yin felt puzzled, so Su Zhan told Ding Yin what happened just now, and Ding Yin finally understood.

Ding Yin thought about it and agreed.Anyway, he is alone wherever he goes, and Su Zhan and Su Zhan can be regarded as friends after all, so just go and help him.

The next day, Ding Yin followed Su Zhan back to Wulei City. After washing up, Ding Yin changed into a blue dress with embroidered patterns.

Su Zhan was taken aback when he saw Ding Yin, and walked around Ding Yin in amazement.If it is said that Ding Yin gave people the impression that he was a pure and good mountain villager before, but now that he changed into this clothes, he brought a bit of extravagance, giving people a sense of maturity, stability and planning.

After the two packed up, Ding Yin followed Su Zhan and went to the palace to meet Su Heng.

"My brother has met the emperor." Su Zhan saluted Su Heng.

"Don't be too polite." Su Heng said to Su Zhan, but looked at Ding Yin, "Who is this?"

Ding Yin stepped forward and saluted, "My humble minister will see the emperor."

"No courtesy." Su Heng looked at Su Zhan, and Su Zhan explained, "This is a bachelor brought back by my younger brother, and I will definitely be able to serve Chen Guo in the future."

oh?Su Heng thought about it.Playing for Chen Guo did not mean playing for him, Su Heng.

Ding Yin kept his head down until now, but his face became very pale the moment he raised his head.

He lost all his memories, the only thing he remembered was a face.And now, that face appeared in front of him!

Memories flooded into his mind like a flood, and he remembered the two years of staying together day and night, the four years of parting lovesickness, and the 70 years of pain and suffering.He remembers, he remembers everything.

Ding Yin looked at the palace again, the man was dressed in a bright yellow dress, his face was full of arrogance, his eyes were shining brightly, and what was in his eyes was the ambition of the young emperor.Although there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, it didn't have much warmth.

Ding Yin lowered his head and covered the darkness in his eyes. Isn't this person Shao Gong?If so, then how can the temperament of the whole body be half similar to that of Shao Gong?But if you say no, why is there such a similar person in the world?

Su Zhan looked at Ding Yin who was standing beside him with his head bowed. For some reason, he always felt that Ding Yin was different.

The author has something to say: ——Little Theater——

Ding Yin (in the middle of tearing the petals): "It's Shaogong, not Shaogong, it's Shaogong, not Shaogong..."
