dead body

Chapter 44: No use is affectionate

On the way, Fourteen made intentional or unintentional conversations, but Bai Banxian'er ignored them all.

This person eats very little at each meal now, and only chews a few mouthfuls of dry food. Fourteen is afraid that he will be overwhelmed and commit suicide again. He sits in the front and drives the carriage. What unusual behavior was holding a small mirror to take pictures all the time. At this time, Shisi couldn't help sighing, really wanted to tell him, don't take pictures, no matter how you take pictures, it's still so ugly!

On this day, Bai Banxian finally stopped cats in the carriage and was willing to come out to get some air and see the light, otherwise, he would be moldy, sitting on the other side of the front ear of the carriage, leaning against the carriage frame.

Fourteen "Why don't you take pictures today?"

Bai Banxian'er stared straight at the horse's buttocks.

Fourteen, love is as sweet as honey when it comes, and it is also a knife for killing people!What a nice person, thank you!Bai Banxian'er has lost a lot of weight, her cotton-padded clothes look fat, her hair hasn't been washed for a while, it's dirty, uncombed, unkempt, and her beard is unshaven. - Image of Han.

The car drove all the way, Bai Banxian pointed to the northwest direction, and finally spoke, "Go at this speed. When it gets dark, you can reach a small town ahead. There is a place to live in the town. Tomorrow morning, I will take You go to the ruins of Yanling City."

Fourteen took a look at Bai Banxian'er, "The words... are pretty clear." He thought you were lovesick, thinking about Bai Ze, and going crazy.

Bai Banxian'er didn't speak again.

In fact, when this person was normal, he would chatter and babble a lot, and his ears were tired when he listened to it. Before the fourteenth year, he had been annoying him with a lot of useless words. Now, I suddenly missed him, and his broken mouth kept spitting. it's time.

As Bai Banxian'er said, walking along the general direction of the northwest, there is really a small town. It was already night when they arrived at the town, and they were wearing stars and moons all the way.The town looks quite desolate, with dilapidated and old buildings, small streets, and only one intersection. At this time, there are only a few restaurants and inns in front of which there are still lanterns on.

Bai Banxian'er got out of the carriage, walked ahead, and finally chose the largest inn here to rest. Regardless of the small size of the place, the price for a one-night stay is as expensive as a provincial capital.

The store clerk's attitude was not very good, he took a bunch of keys, walked ahead and led the way, and went around to the backyard. The upper-class room of this inn was actually an old-fashioned earthen house built with rammed earth in the north.There are about six or seven rooms in a row. Their superior room is a single room, and the others are Datong shops.Fourteen drove the carriage in through the side door, and without a stable, tied it directly to the peach tree in the courtyard.

The single room they lived in also had a small corridor, where King Yanling was placed, the kang was very hot.Fourteen doesn't need to eat, Bai Banxian'er is not in the mood to eat, he only needs two big buckets of hot water, and keeps on driving, it's freezing cold, I can't even think about taking a bath, the two of them are about to stink.

After tidying up his personal hygiene, Bai Banxian'er took out his small mirror to take a picture. Fourteen was covered with a quilt, pursed his lips, and finally decided to speak out, "You can't take pictures of flowers... you should go to sleep !"

Hearing this, Bai Banxian'er put the mirror on the table, "You don't understand... I looked in the mirror and found that the white hair on my head was more... It's more than half white now, but I haven't reached it yet." Thirty!"

Shisi looked at him, and the house was lit with a piece of wax, the light was dim, and he couldn't see clearly.Bai Banxian blew out the candle with a puff, kicked and tossed for a while before lying down. After more than 20 years, he returned to his hometown for the first time, and the town was still the same. The grandfather of the sugar blower didn't know Are you still alive?

Bai Banxian'er kept turning over, Fourteen accosted, "How do you know the ruins of Yanling City?"

Bai Banxian sniffed, "We have a legend that there used to be a city here called Yanling City, and there was a princess Yanling stationed here. The princess was like Hua Mulan, able to lead troops to fight, and later the princess died of illness. Here it is." There is also a story about burning Yanling City in the middle, and the old people's story is wonderful, saying that the pigeons in Yanling City were caught by the enemy, and the pigeons were painted with secret kerosene. The wind was blowing, and the pigeons would go back to their nests at night. This was a ruthless plan. That day, the wind was so strong that it was too late to put out the fire inside the city, so they attacked from outside... Yanling City was burnt down, and the seriously ill princess died here. .

Fourteen was slightly surprised, "This...is your hometown?"

Bai Banxian'er nodded, "Well, when I was about six years old, I left with the old man... I haven't been back since then."

It took a long time before I heard Fourteen's muffled voice, "So young... don't you want to go home?"

Bai Banxian, "Think."

The direction of this topic became serious, Fourteen racked his brains thinking about what else to talk to him, when there was a slight snoring sound from the other end of the kang.

In the early hours of the morning, Bai Banxian'er got up, tossing back and forth inside and outside the house, and when he got up on the [-]th of the day, the incense sticks and paper money for the burial were all ready.In the westernmost part of the town, the coffin shop bought a ready-made coffin. The wood is average, the paint is not evenly painted, and there are worm holes. It is far from worth the price, but this business has its own rules, and the price cannot be bargained!

Fourteen wiped his brother's body, and Bai Banxian changed his clothes. Here, I must praise the prince for his obedient cooperation.Bai Banxian'er put a piece of cake in the hands of King Yanling. The rich people pay attention to it, and they hold it as they wish. On the other side of him, a red chopstick separated the body of King Yanling from the red cloth bag.

Bai Banxian'er took one last look at King Yanling, with a child to accompany you, you probably won't be so lonely, so put on a thin quilt, nail the coffin nails, and send him off for this last journey.

Fourteen disassembled the carriage and used it to pull the coffin, and carried the paper to attract the soul on his shoulders. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, the proprietress rushed over with a stinky face and shouted: "You think this is Yizhuang? This is To the living..."

Bai Banxian'er turned her head to look at her, she didn't make a fuss or scold anyone, she just said, "Don't be at this moment...you won't have fun with me!"

The landlady's face became even uglier, but she didn't dare to say anything else. Those bloodshot eyes, that pair of broken pots, and that desperate attitude, even normal people would be afraid to see it.

When the carriage left the gate, the landlady kicked the door shut with a bang.

Bai Banxian'er didn't want to pay attention to her as a woman, threw a handful of paper money, and shouted hoarsely, "Let's go..." There was no mourning, no guard of honor, and it was deserted.

After walking for about four hours, bypassing several villages on the way, Bai Banxian'er chose a cave in a secluded place where few people come.For three or nine days, the frozen soil could only be dug a shovel deep, and finally a hole was dug out after burning the soil with lamp oil for an hour. The moment the coffin was put down, there was a sudden gurgling in the woods in the northwest. Flocks of mountain birds flew out with flapping wings.

Break the ground, open the coffin, startle the birds, ominous omen.

Bai Banxian'er took out a talisman from the cloth bag, which was given to him by Bai Ze a while ago, and told him to put it away, it might be useful when King Yanling was buried, Bai Banxian'er still remembered the scene at that time, and there was such a Such a conversation, Bai Banxian asked him, "Why do you want me to keep it? I lost everything, and if there is any situation, you can go directly to it."

Bai Ze just smiled, saying that he had to avoid it then.

Thinking about it now, Bai Ze's smile at that time was really stiff. The so-called separation was actually another person's plan for a long time.

After filling the grave, Bai Banxian threw paper money into the fire, and a layer of paper ashes fell on the steamed buns in front of the grave. Bai Banxian filled a bowl of wine and handed it to Fourteen. The wine was spilled.After burning several large bundles of paper money, there was nothing to say during the whole process. Before leaving, Bai Banxian said, "Isn't it your brother... can you say something?"

Fourteen squinted his eyes and looked at the sun, "He can't hear it again." After a while, Fourteen said, "Let's go..."

"I'm not leaving..." Bai Banxian looked at the grave bag, "In the spring of next year, I'll plant a tree for him, and erect a monument three years later..."

Fourteen was stunned, "You don't owe my brother... stay here and guard him... what are you doing..."

Bai Banxian'er: "I have no place to go, but there is still a place where I need me, to add to his grave or something."

Fourteen frowned, "Stop making trouble, everyone is waiting for you at the inn, let's go back quickly!"

Bai Banxian also looked at Fourteen, "They... I will leave it to you! The old man is getting old, he is afraid of being lonely, and needs someone to take care of him. No matter where you and Erbai go, you have to take him with you. Lin'er also takes care of him. What's the matter? In any case, he can help you."

"What about you?" Fourteen's voice was a little louder, and his emotions rose a little.

Bai Banxian raised her head and looked at the clear sky, "I'm... pretty good." Now, if I really like someone, it's best not to see any old people, otherwise, when I see acquaintances, I will always think of things I shouldn't think about.Life is short, he can't live his life with a sad face.

"No!" Fourteen took a step forward, trying to grab Bai Banxian'er, but he dodged it.

Fourteen "Leaving you alone, how can I rest assured?"

"What are you worried about?" Bai Banxian'er "Before I met you... I was always alone!" Erbai, the only difference between whether he was there or not was the difference between cooking a small pot of rice or a big pot of rice, The days of the old man and the black monkey at home can be counted with a few fingers.

Fourteen "Do you listen to people's advice?"

Bai Banxian'er nodded, "Listen! Listen to people's advice to eat enough!"

Fourteen "Then don't dawdle, hurry up and go." To rebuild our homeland, we need you!

Bai Banxian refused to leave, but Fourteen couldn't hold him back. At that moment, Fourteen wanted to carry him away.But Bai Banxian'er had made up her mind, Shisi had no choice but to walk away step by step.

On the barren mountain, there is only one person left, this feeling... I am forgotten by the world!

Bai Banxian muttered a few words in front of King Yanling's grave, and when he returned to the town, it was already dark, so he found a random inn to rest.The house was dilapidated, the eaves were all collapsed, when the door was pushed open, the door hinges creaked and the branches squeaked, and the room smelled of earth, but fortunately, the bedding was clean. After sending the clerk away, Bai Banxian bolted the door and leaned on the pillow, Hugging the quilt, thinking about the future.

Most of the money on my body is left to the old man and the others. What I have now cannot afford to be squandered. Bai Banxian'er plans to find a cheaper house next time. The Chinese New Year will not be long, and I will buy some new year's goods. Sell ​​it, it's spring, let's make a long-term plan.There's nothing wrong with staying here, and I have to come back sooner or later to see his parents.

Thinking about some messy things, he was about to fall asleep in a daze, and suddenly...a creepy sense of fear arose!I feel... There are more people in the room!Bai Banxian'er was taken aback, and she regained her spirits. When she opened her eyes, she saw that there was really a person standing by the small table on the edge of the kang.

Dressed in white, smiling at him.

Bai Banxian almost jumped to the ground, hugged him, and sat up, only to realize that it was wrong!This person gives people an ominous sense of danger, his eyes are too sharp, revealing a domineering energy, and although Bai Ze doesn't speak much, his eyes look very warm and uncontested!

Same face, but not the same person!

Bai Banxian saw that there was an inch-long scar on this man's forehead, Bai Banxian remembered that he had seen it before!

"Let's go..." The man smiled, "I'll take you to find your jade-faced young gentleman!" He leaned forward while talking.

"..." Bai Banxian'er pursed his lips, he suddenly remembered Bai Ze's words, remember, bad guys look like me!After a long time, Bai Banxian replied, "What if I don't go?"

The man laughed, "Whether to go or not, do you think...you can decide?"

"It's really not!" Bai Banxian looked at this person, "Who are you? Why did you take Jun Ai away? You were the one who followed all the way... you were right?"

"No hurry." The man said, "The questions in your heart will be answered soon! Remember to be good on the road!"

Setting off overnight, Bai Banxian was on the same horse as this man. In the dark night, he couldn't see anything. He didn't know what kind of horse it was that was so fast.At dawn, Bai Banxian'er discovered that they had come to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, where birds were singing and flowers were fragrant, and trees were shady from the faraway frozen north.

In the distance, the Pleiades of Cangshan Mountain are misty and misty.On the green and lush Xiaoshan, the waterfall rushes down. On the mountain wall, there are rows of white buildings, covered with red silk flowers, colorful flags, and on the circling jade steps, people come and go, so lively.

Following this man, along the way, people nodded and saluted this young man in white, no matter how old or young, they were full of reverence. When they saw the white half fairy in tatters, after a short period of surprise, they didn't pay attention. Concealed disgust, as if Bai Banxian would dirty their land.The white houses are covered with green vines and little flowers, which are beautiful and elegant.

The young man walked through the residence and came directly to a grand hall, with a gate of pure white marble and jade, a group of girls in brightly dressed clothes ran out and surrounded the young man, chirping, "Ah...Second brother, you are back!" .”

A girl in a light green tulle dress glanced at Bai Banxian, and giggled, "Sisters, look..." Pointing at Bai Banxian, "Second Brother, pick up everything now! "

"Oh...that's just..."

Bai Banxian didn't listen to what they said, it was nothing more than ridicule, the young man was as gentle as a warm spring breeze when he saw his own people, he told a few jokes, and distributed a bunch of red, willow and green baubles, and sent those girls The film was sent.Entering the main hall, there were many people, some were climbing ladders to hang red flowers to high places, some were posting red double happiness, among the crowd, Bai Banxian'er spotted a familiar yet unfamiliar person--Bai Ze!

In front of him, a woman in a red wedding dress turned around a few times, blushed and smiled shyly, and asked Bai Ze something, it seems that I look good, Bai Ze smiled and nodded.

Bai Banxian hid behind the flower basket, but was dragged out by the young man...

"Ah!" Bai Banxian'er knelt down on the ground, the young man kicked him, and the hurt man couldn't stand up.

In an instant, all eyes focused on this place, Bai Banxian'er's head went blank, and she became timid, he really didn't mean to interfere, he was forced to come if he didn't come!

"Where did the offal come from? Drag it out to the family rules to serve!" There was no sound, and an old voice sounded.

"and many more……"

This is a very soft and nice female voice.

Bai Banxian raised his head slightly, but saw that in the distance, Bai Ze looked at this place indifferently, without expression or reaction, as if he didn't recognize him.And when he saw the face of the woman next to him, Bai Banxian'er was stunned, it turned out...it was...Xunmeng!

What a disaster!

Xunmeng looked at Bai Banxian'er, then at Bai Ze, and whispered something in his ear, but Bai Ze didn't say anything, as if he didn't care, Xunmeng shook his arm a few times coquettishly, before he came this way.

Bai Ze didn't look at Bai Banxian'er, "Let's go!"

Bai Banxian'er looked up at him, "At first... I didn't want to pester you."

Bai Ze frowned, glanced at him, and walked out, followed closely by Bai Banxian'er, standing under the warm sun, with his palms resting on the white jade railing, "If you really don't want to be entangled at all...you won't show up At this."

Bai Banxian'er, "If I say... I was brought here by force, do you believe it or not?"

Bai Ze smiled, it was dazzling under the sun, "If you are determined to do something, I don't believe anyone can force you."

The implication is that if you pay for it with your life, what can you do to me!

Bai Banxian looked at him. This might be the last time they met, so they shouldn't quarrel with Bai Ze. They should make a good impression. He was thinking about how to speak, but suddenly realized that what he wanted to say the most was actually so clichéd, "You Ever liked me?"

Bai Ze looked into the distance, and he thought for a while, "You have Chu Ji's remnant soul in your body, and attaching the remnant soul to other people's souls is a taboo secret. I feel more guilty than liking Chu Ji. If I stopped her back then, her soul might not be broken up. I was attracted by her remnant soul attached to you. I owe her everything, even if it’s just a scent similar to hers. If you make up for it, I will feel better."

Bai Banxian'er: "Why are you talking so much... just ask if you have loved or not."

Bai Ze looked at him, "No!"

Bai Banxian'er: "Because I'm from a bad background, I don't look good, and I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, or painting, so you're embarrassed to take it out?"

Bai Ze shook his head, "If you don't like it, you don't like it. If you say that, then you are making trouble for no reason."

Bai Banxian'er sighed, he was very frustrated, he used force to drag him away, he was not capable, and he was full of mistakes and omissions when he tried to reason.

Bai Ze: "Before, I don't remember most of the things that happened during my lifetime. I was afraid of being lonely, so I provoked you..."

"Now you've remembered..." Bai Banxian interrupted him, "So, you can't go on wrong, you have to follow your heart, right? If I knew, the trip to Yinshan would end up losing you and killing me Not going to Yinshan." Bai Banxian took a step forward and looked at him, "I can understand your feelings! It's like how I treat the little widow, she treats me well, so I respond to her, not because I like her, but because I am greedy for that kind of tenderness , in the same way, because of my existence, you have offset your loneliness at a point in the past, so you want to get closer... Human nature, I understand! But Bai Ze, my liking for you... is all real!"

The feeling of being so wronged that I can't stop crying may be really sad, the whole world is bullying me, Bai Banxian covered her face, speechless.

Once you like-on-someone, you will be useless!

Bai Banxian'er held back his tears, his shoulders trembled, and he was about to lose his breath. He wanted to hug Bai Ze again, but as soon as he took a step forward, Bai Ze avoided it.Looking at his alienated eyes, Bai Banxian'er knew that this person had gone too far, and there was no turning back.At this time, it's time to let go, turn around and walk away gracefully, and if you say one more word, you are humiliating yourself!

He's not that good, and he's not that bad either!

Some people are destined to be the sand in the palm of their hands, and they can't keep it. It's better to raise it, which happens to confuse others' eyes.

I understand everything, but I just can't let it go!

Bai Banxian looked at Bai Ze with red eyes, "I----love----you!"

Bai Ze turned around and walked away, but he didn't stop longer because of this confession.

Only Bai Banxian was left standing in front of the jade fence. At this moment, the young man came over, looked at Bai Ze's back, tapped the jade with his fingers, and said, "It's not interesting."

Bai Banxian was silent.

The young man said: "He knew that your death was approaching, but he didn't save you..."

Bai Banxian'er finally said, "He doesn't owe me... why did he save me for no reason?" No matter how bad it is, no matter what, others say he is bad! ! !

It's good to be cold to me, otherwise I'm easy to think too much, and if I smile, I will feel that it's unrequited love.
