Thousands of years

Falling in love has always been shallow, but deep in love, everything is just a dream after all.She turned her head to look at the giant que that Zhan Zhao put on the table. The bright yellow Ruyi knot sword tassels on it were given to him by herself on the Qixi Festival. The sweetness at that time seemed like yesterday, and this is probably the only thing she left for him. No matter how unwilling, history has not changed because of oneself.

Tears flickered in Lin Ruoqing's eyes, and she said softly, "Zhan Zhao, I want to see my father."

Farewell ([-])

In the afternoon, Zhan Zhao sent someone to invite old man Lin, and Lin Ruoqing deliberately dressed up to hide her sick appearance.She greeted old man Lin's body and asked about the situation in the store. Old man Lin answered everything one by one. When old man Lin asked her when she would return to the store, Lin Ruoqing's eyes flashed with deep sadness, But pretending to be relaxed, he replied: "My health is almost healed, and I can go back after a while." Old man Lin knew his daughter's temper very well. If she really recovered, she would definitely not be here. Kaifeng Mansion was bored for such a long time, looking at Lin Ruoqing's increasingly haggard face, the old man Lin became more and more uneasy, and finally asked when Zhan Zhao sent him out: "Master Zhan, Ruoqing has lost so much weight in the past few months. , can her illness still recover?"

Uncharacteristically, Zhan Zhao didn't answer him, and his eyes fell on an unknown distance. The loneliness and helplessness in his eyes made old man Lin feel for the first time that this young man who was like a god in his mind was actually so fragile. His worries became reality at this moment, and he couldn't help crying, and he couldn't help muttering: "How could this be? How could this be?" He babbled like this and slowly turned and left, his old and stooped figure disappearing little by little. in the cold wind.

The sun at this moment has lost its warmth, and the coldest time of the year has come unknowingly.

All the evidence of Chu Tianyi and Xiang Jun's crimes has been collected, and they are waiting for another day to be interrogated. Under Lin Ruoqing's insistence, Zhan Zhao took her to the prison to meet Chu Tianyi.

Chu Tianyi, who was dressed in a white prison uniform, was sitting in the corner. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he couldn't help but look up. The familiar face beside Zhan Zhao came into Chu Tianyi's eyes again after such a long time. Hua Yingyue's appearance before she died appeared in the video, and somewhere deep in her heart was a tingling pain, could it be because of Hua Yingyue?What kind of feelings does he have for that woman?Now he can't figure it out and doesn't want to figure it out again. He watched Hua Yingyue die, and now he wants to watch this woman who is exactly like her die. A trace of inexplicable guilt welled up in his heart. He hated this feeling very much. Shouldn't he, Chu Tianyi, be cruel and heartless?How did you become a mother-in-law after sitting in prison for a few days?He shook his head to shake off this useless thought, with a disdainful smile on his face as always: "What? Are you here to see me in despair?"

Lin Ruoqing came to Chu Tianyi, because her thin face made her eyes bigger and brighter, under the swaying firelight, the anger in her eyes almost burned a hole in Chu Tianyi's body, Chu Tianyi unexpectedly Feeling a little palpitated by that gaze, he turned his head away and stopped looking at her.

"Chu Tianyi," Lin Ruoqing's voice was not loud, but it was full of hatred: "I used to live my life well after a thousand years, but you brought me to this strange Song Dynasty and caused me to be like this, I have no grievances with you, why do you treat me like this?" Lin Ruoqing was a little excited at the end, and her voice became louder.

Chu Tianyi stood up, looked at Lin Ruoqing, without a trace of warmth in her eyes, and said lightly, "I only blame you for being the one chosen by Huo Lingzhu, and you happen to look exactly like Hua Yingyue, this is your fate, Accept your fate."

"No, this is not my life. You changed my destiny to realize your ambition. Now you want to take me to be buried with you, are you satisfied?" Lin Ruoqing almost lost control of her emotions, she cried hysterically Dao, her figure was also a little unstable, and Zhan Zhao on the side hurriedly reached out to support her, and at the same time turned to Chu Tianyi and shouted: "Chu Tianyi, don't you even have any regrets at this point?"

"Hmph, I, Chu Tianyi, have no regrets in my life. After I die, you Zhan Zhao will spend the rest of his life in pain and self-blame. I deserve to die. Haha." The cell was full of Chu Tianyi. The maniacal laughter remained undecided for a long time.

Lin Ruoqing felt her eyes were blurred and her chest was so tight that she finally couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Immediately after she was so weak that she was about to collapse on the ground, Zhan Zhao turned pale with fright, supported her with both hands, and called out eagerly: "Ruoqing, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Tianyi stopped laughing, looked at the two of them coldly, and didn't say a word.

Zhan Zhao helped Lin Ruoqing out of the cell, and Xiang Jun, who was in the next cell, said, "The Heart-eating Gu has started to bite back, she doesn't have many days left."

Zhan Zhao paused, swayed, but did not look back, and left the prison together with Lin Ruoqing.

The sky is very gloomy, and the biting north wind hits people's faces like a knife. The first snow of this winter will come unexpectedly.

The two returned to the hut all the way. The brazier in the room was burning hot, and it was warm everywhere.

However, Lin Ruoqing felt stuffy, almost out of breath, she wiped the blood from her mouth with her sleeve, and said in a faint voice: "The room is too stuffy, I want to go out for a walk."

"Okay," Zhan Zhao took out a cloak from the cabinet and put it on Lin Ruoqing, and said softly, "It's cold outside, be careful of catching cold."

Lin Ruoqing glanced at Zhan Zhao, and pulled the corners of her mouth weakly at him, pleading in her eyes: "I want to take a walk outside Kaifeng Mansion, okay?" He could no longer refuse.

Zhan Zhao hired a carriage, spread a quilt in the carriage, helped Lin Ruoqing get into the carriage, and Zhan Zhao drove the carriage all the way to the outskirts of Kaifeng.

Zhan Zhao drove the carriage to a hillside. The place was extremely desolate, with only a few pieces of dry grass swaying weakly with the north wind.He helped Lin Ruoqing out of the car, sat down on the slope himself, let her sit on his lap, held her in his arms, gently smoothed her hair that was blown by the wind with his hands, and asked softly: "Is it okay?" feel cold?"

Lin Ruoqing shook her head, looking at the gray sky, tears welled up again: "Zhan Zhao, I thought I could be strong and face death calmly, but I can't, I really can't I'm only 22 years old, I don't want to die. I still have a lot of wishes unfulfilled, I haven't been to many places, I haven't seen the vast grassland, I haven't seen the vast sea, I think I can save enough money to travel around Let's go and see, but why is God so cruel? My life is about to end before it even begins. Zhan Zhao, I really can't be reconciled, so reconciled." At the end of the talk, she broke down in tears.

Zhan Zhao behind him also had tears in his eyes. He was not a good talker, and he didn't know what words to use to comfort her at this time, so he could only lay his head on her shoulder, and said in a hoarse and bitter voice, "I'm sorry. , Ruoqing, I'm sorry."

Lin Ruoqing stretched out her hand to caress his face, the tentacles were all wet, she raised her eyes to look at him, and asked with some surprise: "Are you crying?" Without waiting for his answer, she gently wiped away his tears with her hands, Lin Ruoqing's hands were soft and cold , Zhan Zhao held it in his hand to warm her with the temperature of his palm.

"Zhan Zhao, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your fault at all, I know you've tried your best, and there will be times when Nan Xia Zhan Zhao can't do it." Lin Ruoqing took a breath and continued, "I won't blame you , I just can't bear you, I always thought that there is an unstoppable fate between us who can meet and know each other across thousands of years, I even tried so hard to change history and stop you from being with Ding Yuehua, but now it seems that my All efforts are in vain, I have become a passer-by in your life after all."

Zhan Zhao was already heartbroken, he hugged Lin Ruoqing even tighter, and said with a choked voice, "Stop talking, don't talk anymore."

Zhan Zhao supported Lin Ruoqing's head with one hand, and gently wiped away the tears on her face with the other. His tearful eyes stared affectionately at the person in front of him. His eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance. In the depths of his soul, he lowered his head and kissed her pale and cold lips. All his words were melted in this last kiss.

The sky did not know when snow fell, and the snowflakes like goose feathers fluttered down on the two of them, but they were unaware of it. At this moment, it was as if there was only each other and nothing else between the sky and the earth.

I don't know how long it took before the two parted reluctantly. Lin Ruoqing looked at Zhan Zhao and comforted him in a low voice: "Zhan Zhao, don't be sad, just think that I have returned to my parents after a thousand years, and lived like before. live happily ever after.”

Zhan Zhao didn't speak, but nodded slightly.

"It's snowing." Lin Ruoqing stretched out her hand to catch a snowflake, the crystal petals fell on her palm and soon disappeared, as short as her remaining life.There was a wry smile on Lin Ruoqing's lips, and she softly said to Zhan Zhao behind her, "Zhan Zhao, shall I sing you another song?"

"Okay." Zhan Zhao replied.

"One thought at a glance, one thought of persistence, doomed to fly like moths to the flames, knowing that it is a disaster, why are you still at a loss, it is best not to see, it is best not to think, so that I will not fall in love with you, one more step to rub shoulders, just one step It is the fault of time that we can only miss it, how much I miss you, how far away you are, I knew it was a bitter fruit, and I didn’t want to escape at this moment. Unfortunately, this word is too dazzling. After two worlds, I have no choice but to love deeply. "Lin Ruoqing's singing drifted along with the snowflakes on the empty hillside, her voice gradually became quieter, until there was no more sound, Zhan Zhao could clearly feel that she was holding his hand gently.
