[Yi Tian] A match made in heaven

Hearing this, Niu Bo suddenly choked up, let out a mournful voice, pointed to the coffin and cried: "Young Master Fan came late, Miss died of a sudden illness two nights ago, and now... has... passed away gone."

He was a domestic servant and had no wife or daughter, so he only raised Liu Dan as his own daughter.At first, he pitied her for losing her mother and losing her support at a young age, and pitied her for living outside for three years. She was always protected like an eyeball and a heart. Now that Liu Dan died, it was no different from the loss of her own son.

Although Fan Yao already had a few guesses in his mind before, he suddenly felt dizzy when he heard the bad news from someone else.It was as if my heart was suddenly empty, and I was at a loss as to where I was.

Yuan Zhou's Sanyue was a time-consuming thing, although he didn't really put on armor to fight in battle, but at night to survey the terrain and spy on the enemy's camp, he was not blindly leisurely.After finding out about the matter, he left overnight. He only wanted to see Liu Dan as soon as possible along the way, so he was anxious and naturally hurried on the road.

Now I came here with a fiery heart, but I was chilled by the news of Liu Dan's death. I only felt that the five words of Uncle Niu hit my heart heavily, like an ax chiseled with a blade, and the sudden pain was beyond words.

He has always been good at disguising, what he pays attention to is that a mountain collapses in front of him without changing his face.

Now, I don't know what expression to put on, I can only watch Uncle Niu opening and closing his lips, his voice seems to be separated by several layers of distant mountains, with an empty echo echoing in his ears, he can hear it clearly, but it is completely Uncle Niu couldn't make out what he was talking about.

After Niu Bo finished telling the news of Liu Dan's death, he raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the man in the moon-white clothes holding his hands on his chest, and he was about to collapse.Strictly speaking, Fan Yao's appearance is not a very masculine type. If it is not for the aloof and arrogant demeanor around him, it may bring out a bit of weakness.

And moon white, a cute color, is usually warm and elegant, bringing with it the leisurely white clouds when the sky is sunny, but from another angle, if there is no corresponding temperament, it will show an illusion of being weak.Now that Fan Yao has undergone major changes, his face has lost all blood and is as pale as a sheet of paper. His pupils are becoming more and more dark and deep, making people who are looking at each other look away and dare not look more.

Uncle Niu was so frightened that he hurried to help him, and only shouted: "Mr. Fan, are you okay?" Looking back, he scolded his servants: "Hurry up and ask the doctor to come and have a look." On the other hand, he said: "Old slave, please help Fan." Young master go to the guest room to rest."

When his palm touched Fan Yao's fingers, his fingertips felt astonishingly cold.Others don't know, but Uncle Niu has heard Liu Dan tell her about Fan Yao, and now he is the only person in charge of the mansion, so he is naturally afraid that something will happen to Fan Yao.

Fan Yao raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, finally came back to his senses, gently broke away from Uncle Niu's hand, and said, "I'm fine." He stood outside the entrance of the front hall, looking at the ebony coffin parked in the middle of the hall. The inauguration ceremony hangs high, and paper money is burning in two copper basins around it. The flames are blazing, like the only warm color in the ice and snow world.This warm color is too bright, which further sets off the desolation and desolation of the surroundings.

Rao is Fan Yao who has always been witty and quick to respond, but he can't help being calm and restrained in the face of life and death.Uncle Niu looked worried and hesitated to say something.But Fan Yao calmly stopped him: "I'll go see Ran'er." He stepped into the lobby, followed by Uncle Niu.According to the rules, after the death of the deceased, the coffin needs to be kept at home for three days to be worshiped by the coming people, and then the coffin will be buried in the ground.

At that time, Fan Yao gently pushed open the coffin lid, and the girl in the coffin looked as if she was alive, but her skin was bloodless.Her eyes were tightly closed, and one could imagine that if she opened them and smiled, those naturally well-shaped pupils would glow with splendor, so bright that one couldn't help but stare at them for a long time.And the shallow pear dimple on the left cheek is so delicate and beautiful.

This is indeed Liu Dan, even if Fan Yao doesn't want to admit it.Holding the last ray of hope, he reached out to touch Liu Dan's cheek, his movements were gentle and anxious, slowly stroking Liu Dan's facial features, as if he was searching for something.But then his movements slowed down, no, there was no trace of disguise.This person is indeed Liu Dan, his Ran'er is dead, and now he is lying alone in the coffin, he will never open his eyes to see him again, and call him Zizhen.

This is actually a sad thing, but the most helpless thing in the world is life and death.Man cannot control his own birth, nor can he control his own death.Life is different, but only life and death are fair.It's so fair that it makes people want to make it unfair and partial.

Uncle Niu lowered his head, stepped forward, and persuaded: "Mr. Fan is so sad, if my young lady has a spirit in the spring, she must also not want to see you feel sad about it."

Fan Yao responded lightly: "If she doesn't want to see me sad, why doesn't she wait for me to come back?"

There is no reason in this sentence. Birth, old age, sickness and death are beyond one's control. Fan Yao's words are really too much.But no one around dared to criticize and answer, only felt that his tone was flat and soft, and the listeners only felt their hearts move, as if they were about to cry for it.

Uncle Niu was speechless for a while, trying to find a reason to dissuade him: "Miss has often missed Mr. Fan these days, maybe she left a letter for Mr. Fan. Why don't I accompany Mr. Fan to Miss's room to have a look?" , Mr. Fan is full of travel and dust, even if you miss Miss, you should always pay attention to your body."

Fan Yao and the like, it's okay if Uncle Niu didn't say anything, Fan Yao keenly felt that what he said was too kind, and usually the housekeeper should return the courtesy when the guests express their condolences.There is absolutely no reason to do everything possible to keep people away, not to mention Liu Dan died of a sudden illness, but anyone who is seriously ill should have a sick face, or have a sallow complexion, or black eyebrows and eyes, it is impossible to be so peaceful.

Doubts arose in Fan Yao's heart, and once he thought about it, he regained his energy.I just felt that Liu Dan could not die so easily, thinking of the dark light flashing in his eyes here, he was ruthless, and Liu Dan was an extremely important person, so he became more cautious in his actions.If someone plots against Liu Dan...

Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Uncle Niu is here. Let Uncle Niu lead the way first." Uncle Niu answered and walked forward. Turning around the hall, he saw a thin layer of ice on the lake.Fan Yao asked seemingly casually: "But I don't know what kind of disease Ran'er is born with?"

Uncle Niu froze, and then sighed: "Miss died of a sudden illness. The incident happened in a hurry, and there was no time to consult the doctor. As for the illness, I don't know."

This answer was even more outrageous, and it pushed the matter to a clean place. Fan Yao knew that if he asked again, he would not be able to ask anything, so he avoided this topic.When he came to the door of Liu Dan's room, Uncle Niu pushed the door open and entered. Everything in the room was as usual, clean and tidy. There was a pen holder on the table, and half a scroll of residual paintings on the rice paper.The vanity box was opened, and the rouge and gouache inside seemed to have not been used much, and most of it remained.In front of the bronze mirror is a string of fragrant sandalwood beads, each round and round.

Uncle Niu didn't want to disturb Fan Yao, he just said: "This old slave still has some things to deal with outside, Mr. Fan, please do it yourself." After he finished speaking, he turned to leave, but his wrist felt cold, and Fan Yao grabbed him.He looked back in astonishment, Fan Yao seemed to know that he was abrupt, and hurriedly let go, saying: "I was being reckless, but thank you, old man."

Uncle Niu shook his head and said: "Miss is the child I saw as a child, but this happened unexpectedly. Mr. Fan has a heart, if Miss is still here..." He shook his head, went straight out of the door, and closed the door behind his back Cover up.Fan Yao stood alone in the room, the guilt on his face gradually dissipated, and his pupils became sharp.

He held back Uncle Niu just now, seemingly to thank him, but in fact he just took the opportunity to test whether Uncle Niu has martial arts skills.It's just that Niu Bo's pulse was slack, and he didn't feel anything when he pressed his fingers on his pulse gate, and he seemed to have no internal strength.However, there was a discrepancy with Fan Yao's previous guess. He stood there in a daze for a moment.Just as he was frowning and thinking deeply, he suddenly felt itchy fingertips, and couldn't help raising his hand to look at it, only to see that his fingers were already crimson in just a moment.

This feeling is familiar... Fan Yao gently sniffed his fingertips, and as expected, he smelled a faint pungent aura.Fan Yao has a little-known weakness, that is, he is allergic to ginger.Although there will be no rash, it will feel itchy and red when touched.

In other words, Uncle Niu's crying just now was probably caused by smearing ginger, and the ginger was hidden in his sleeve.

Fan Yao took out a handkerchief to wipe his fingers, went to sit by the dressing table, and accidentally saw a jewelry box beside him.Liu Dan has always disliked cumbersome things, one reason is that the gold and silver are heavy, and the other reason is that it is very troublesome to pull her hair up in a bun.Therefore, most of the hair is tied with a jasper hairpin, but these daughters' exquisite accessories are also full of piles.Fan Yaoxin picked up a bracelet to watch, and suddenly found a golden phoenix hairpin at the bottom of the box.

The pure gold phoenix hairpin has a string of bright red tassels coming out from the mouth of the phoenix, and the two colors are perfectly blended together.The red is too coquettish, reminiscent of blood...

"Chu Sitong!" Fan Yao suddenly remembered where he had seen this phoenix hairpin. He had seen it in the mansion of the Sanjiang Gang in Baidi City.But why did such a thing appear in Liu Dan's room?

Fan Yao suddenly felt something was wrong, but this matter was really weird.Coupled with the sudden news of Liu Dan's death, he was naturally disturbed.He seemed to think of something in the haze, but he couldn't grasp the specific scene.He sat by the table, calmed down for a moment, subconsciously tapped his fingers on the rosewood table.When she raised her eyes, she suddenly found that the "Tai Ping Guang Ji" she gave Liu Dan was lying beside her pillow.

Fan Yao knew Liu Dan very well. Liu Dan was a casual person, and she was polite and courteous in front of unfamiliar people. No matter how you looked at it, she looked stable and elegant.But he is lazy inside, but he is a person who can calm down.

For more than two months on Guangmingding, Fan Yao often saw Liu Dan sitting by the pavilion and reading a book in the morning, and when he read it in the afternoon, Liu Dan was still sitting there lazily, the only difference was that the book in his hand might have been changed. , There are a few more pastries beside the tea.I often turn on the light to read before going to bed, and when I feel sleepy, I put the book by the pillow and turn off the light to go to bed.I don't even want to take two extra steps to put it back on the bookshelf.

Thinking of Liu Dan's little habits, he couldn't help but want to laugh, he raised his head hastily and raised his hands to cover his pupils after a couple of laughs.His sleeves are wide, and his eyebrows are hidden behind.I couldn't see the expression clearly, and it took me a while to put it down slowly.He walked around the screen and sat on the edge of the bed, imagining the smiling girl in emerald clothes.

The saddest thing is life and death, and the most unpredictable thing is impermanence. These two words really condense the changes in the world.Fan Yao gave a vague laugh, and suddenly found a corner of the envelope faintly exposed in the scroll, and when he picked it up, the envelope slipped to the ground.The font on it is familiar, it is Hu Qingniu's handwriting.

At that time, because they wanted to show respect to the elders in the family, they often needed to write the names of their ancestors without writing a stroke. Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu regarded Zheliumen as their home when they were young, so they deliberately omitted a stroke of Liu.At first, Fan Yao didn't know the intersection of Hu Qingniu and Zheliumen, and he was deeply surprised.Now it is clear, because few people know about this reason, so basically no one will impersonate it.

Fan Yao suddenly remembered that Liu Dan had written to Hu Qingniu, but the specific content was unclear.So I hurriedly bent over to pick it up, wanting to look for clues, but I didn't know that the envelope was empty, and the letter paper was missing.

The author has something to say:

Looking at the sky silently, well, there is hope for the end of this article.Said that after this incident is resolved, Cheng Kun's matter will be resolved...Huaxiu and Xie Xun's sister...oh, the ending of Huaxiu's sister and Xie Xun is always to be written.

In fact, in this part between Liu Dan and Fan Yao, how to say, these two people think they are respecting each other so they have to deal with their own affairs, so sister Liu Dan has no subconscious mind to ask Brother Yao for help.These two people also need to get in touch. Although their personalities are very similar, they are different after all.After this incident, there were basically no problems.
