Not long after the lottery was drawn, the sky darkened, lead clouds hung low, Xue Mozi whirled around, and snow began to fall.

Everyone went to work, Zhu Han glanced at me when he left, with a complicated look on his face, I recalled Dongfang Bubai's eyes when he was angry, showed him a sinister smile, and made a movement of wiping his neck, he unexpectedly Trembling with fright, he staggered and ran away.

I snorted coldly and followed Guanshi Liu into the house.

Because the leader's meals are all taken care of by the inner court, and outsiders are not allowed in the inner court, so the food needs to be delivered by people from the inner court, and then I will deliver it, which is extremely troublesome.

Liu Guanshi was telling me what to say and what not to say, I should be well-behaved, but in fact, I listen to it with one ear and hear it with the other. , almost all related to him.I remember his every frown and smile, but I was too greedy and dissatisfied, that's why...

I bowed my head and smiled bitterly, unwilling to think about it.

After a while, a slender figure came out of the wind and snow holding a purple bamboo umbrella and carrying a three-layer food box.The woman has a jade hairpin with a black bun and a purple shirt and skirt. Although she is about 27 or [-] years old, she has a very beautiful and pretty face. I saw her lightly tap her toes, and she flew into the courtyard like a butterfly.

Guanshi Liu hurriedly greeted her out, greeted her with a smile of ingratiating, and said loudly, "Miss Suyun is here. It's such a cold day, so I'll trouble you to come in. Come in and have a cup of tea!"

When I heard this name, I was stunned. I stood in the house and looked at the woman in purple outside, but didn't go out.

"Thank you Guanshi Liu for your kindness, but I still have some cumbersome things to do, so I won't go in." Suyun handed the food box to Guanshi Liu, and said softly, "It's better to ask someone to deliver the breakfast, Mo It's a delay."

"Yes, yes, we will send it right away."

She smiled at Guanshi Liu, exchanged some pleasantries before leaving.She is the most prestigious maidservant in the inner courtyard, and she served Dongfang Bubai when she was the deputy leader. Looking at her slender back, I don't know what it feels like.

She is still so tender and tender, even when facing the poor and humble servants, she has never been impatient, never put on airs, no matter what she does, no matter who she faces, she can be so comprehensive and pleasing.In fact, if you look carefully, you will find that there is no smile in her eyes at all, and the arc of her mouth has never changed.

However, my previous self had already drowned under her pretense of gentleness, but she was a proud and arrogant woman who didn't even look down on people like me who climbed up from handyman. Aware of her hypocritical scheming, she rushed to use her as a pawn to cross the river... Oh, it really deserves it.

Guanshi Liu came in, and I took the food box from him, bowed my head in salute, and concealed the emotion in my eyes.

After I got out of Guanshi Liu’s room, I sneaked open the food box to look at the dishes. When I saw the big fish, big meat and big soup inside, I covered my face——no wonder everyone who delivered the food would be poked by Dongfang Bubai died.

He hates fishy and greasy things the most, but he doesn't like others to spy on his mind, so he never reveals his preferences. Even if I tried to please him in my previous life and paid attention everywhere, it took four or five years to figure out his temperament.

Thanks to my extra heart, wouldn't it be courting death to let him eat this early in the morning?Even if you practice in retreat, you won't be able to nourish yourself to this extent, and it's not confinement.Look at what these things are, I lifted the lid of one of the small cups, and saw the black chicken soup with red dates, wolfberries and dangshen inside, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching.

If he eats these things for several days, he must not eat well, and his mood must be terrible. If he is in a bad mood, then I must die.Thinking of this, I went back to the kitchen without hesitation, rolled up my sleeves and started to prepare some refreshing and delicious breakfast.

There was really nothing good in the servant's kitchen, so I had no choice but to turn my attention to the food box again.After thinking about it, I picked a small cup of pork bone soup, carefully skimmed off the oil, and then poured the rice and pork bone soup from the food box into the pot. After the rice and bone soup boiled, I scooped up the fish soup. Fish fillets, deboned and shredded to remove the fishy smell, sprinkled into the pot, and made a pot of shredded fish and meat porridge.

I looked out to see the sky, and if I lingered on and missed the meal, I would probably die.I quickly poured out the porridge, scooped a few spoonfuls of pickled vegetables and shredded pickled bamboo shoots from the jar in the corner, and rushed to the back mountain.

The place where Dongfang Bubai retreats to practice is in a stone room in the back mountain.An earthquake a hundred years ago divided this mountain into two, a cliff about [-] feet wide stretched across it, and underneath was an endless abyss that could not be seen. The stone chamber was embedded in the steep and rugged cliff, and the only passage was A rickety suspension bridge.

I walked tremblingly on this suspension bridge made of rattan. To be honest, I am a little afraid of heights. In the past, Dongfang Bubai used light skills to take me there. suffer.

The strong wind was whistling in my ears, and the snow dazzled my eyes several times. For a whole quarter of an hour, I kept thinking that I would see him soon, and I was about to see him, so I had the courage to continue walking.

When I finally came to the entrance of the stone chamber, I shook my two limp legs and habitually touched the door-opening mechanism on the rock wall. The moment my hand touched it, I was startled suddenly and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

How to open the stone chamber, Dongfang Bubai told me this secret many years later, and now only he knows it, if I really open it, I am afraid that what greets me is a silver needle.

After taking a long breath, I respectfully bowed and bowed: "Master, the villain has brought you food."

A silence.

I didn't dare to be careless, and still kept my bowed posture. After waiting for a long time, I only heard a few low coughs coming from inside, but there was no other movement.I didn't dare to move, I just buried my head lower and lower, wondering if I was late and made him angry?The increasingly restless heart was pounding in his chest, and his back was covered in greasy cold sweat.

After an unknown amount of time, a slightly cold voice finally came from inside.

"Come in."

The mechanism was activated, and the stone door was slowly pushed up. I lowered my eyebrows and carried the food box into the room, still bending slightly, lowering my head, not squinting, and lightly moving.There are two rooms inside and outside the stone room, and the hanging bamboo curtains separate the two rooms.The inner room is small and the furnishings are very simple, except for tables, chairs and stone beds, there are no extra items.The outer room looks empty, but in fact there are many secret chambers on the four walls, which store medicine pills and killing mechanisms.

I stretched out my hand to open the bamboo curtain, and put the food box on the stone table. I could catch a glimpse of a red corner of the clothes on the stone bed with my lowered eyes, which made me feel confused for a while.Not daring to look any further, he shook his hands and set out the bowl of meat porridge, two dishes of side dishes, and the bowls and chopsticks, and put the rest inside.After doing all this, I took ten steps back, exited the inner room, and stood in the corner.

The stone room is spacious and quiet. Because of the snow, the light is dimmed. The stone room is lit. Six glazed octagonal wall lamps are hung on the wall. The warm lights shake slightly. The shadow, the apex of the heart is inexplicably sour.

It was quiet inside for a long time before there was a rustle of cloth rubbing against each other. I secretly raised my eyes to see a tall and tall figure reflected on the bamboo curtain. I couldn't get a glimpse of his face. I stared blankly at the unclear profile of the man. It is clear that there is only a thin bamboo curtain, but it seems that there is endless time, no matter how you swim, you can't meet each other.

The cold wind poured into the back of the neck, making the whole back chilly. I was shocked, my mixed mood gradually calmed down, and I silently retracted my gaze. I stared down at his shadow in a daze.

When was that time?It seems to be my fourth year with Dongfang Bubai.

I have become the so-called chief manager, and when I came back from doing business outside, I remembered that I hadn’t been to that garden for a long time, and after hesitating for a long time, I was already standing outside the iron gate.Finally went to him.

As soon as I approached, I saw him wearing pink clothes, standing lazily under the eaves, leaning against the carved pillars, reaching out his hands to catch the rainwater falling from under the eaves.

The deep courtyard is silent, the lingering spring light is shrouded in the hazy rain and mist, the cool wind moves the sleeves of the clothes, and even the sleeves seem to be smeared with the fragrance of cold plum.

There was an indifference and alienation unique to those in high positions on his brows, but it didn't make people feel cold. There were thousands of wisps in the willows, and the flying catkins were wet. He seemed to feel itchy and wrinkled his nose.

Could it be that seeing him showing a childish side, I chuckled lightly.

Hearing the sound, he turned his head, his cold eyes seemed to be washed away by mist and rain, and he fainted with a warm smile: "Brother Lian."

At that moment, I was burned by his gaze, and I hurriedly turned my eyes away.

He seemed to be hurt by my subconsciously dodging eyes, and he turned his head bitterly.

In those years, I have rarely seen him.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly said, "It's been four years..."

I raised my eyes, his gaze softened as he stared at me, and his soft words seemed to be rubbed into the rain, each and every sound made my heart pound, "Brother Lian, it's a long way to stand in this world, after four years, There will be many, many more years...Brother Lian, please stay by my side from now on."

I was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, I bowed my head for a long time, only silent.

I couldn't help looking up at him, he didn't seem to want my answer, or he had already understood my answer, and just smiled at me reluctantly.I never knew someone could have such a bitter smile.

I don't know if my brain was tied up, so I replied sullenly: "Let's talk about the future."

He was a little happy, even if it was such a perfunctory and vague answer, he would be happy.

Feeling a little sad, I reached out to hold his hand, and he gently shook me back.

"Then it's settled." He lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, even heavy makeup couldn't hide the tenderness between his brows and eyes.

It's a pity that even such a perfunctory vow is destined to be cut off.

Ever since I took Ren Woxing into his embroidery room——since then, after that, there was an abyss between me and him, in which was an inexhaustible barrier of life and death, deception and betrayal The sea of ​​blood and vengeance drawn down.

The light in the stone room dimmed, and only the thick black mist remained in my sight, and the slight sound of the collision of bowls and chopsticks seemed to be so far away, replaced by the sound of dripping rain in my memory , as if it would never stop.

"Remove."

A cold order pulled me out of my memory.

"Yes."

I bowed my head and went in to clean up.The meat porridge on the table was used up, the pickled melon dish moved two chopsticks, and most of the shredded bamboo shoots were gone.I remembered them one by one, put the bowls and chopsticks into the food box, and after saluting Dongfang Bubai, I backed up and left. When I was about to exit the inner room, I boldly raised my eyes and happened to bump into a pair of black paint There was no trace of warmth in Qi's eyes, they were as cold as iron.

My heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, I quickly lowered my gaze, bent over again, and then escaped.

Blown by the biting cold wind outside, my limbs became stiff, and even my mind became muddled.Looking up at the sky blankly, the goose feathers and heavy snow are fluttering, scattered in the cold world with the wind.

I suddenly realized that the man in the stone room was just the number one god leader in the world that day, not the East in my memory.

The man who would stand beside me with his head down and smile, has already been killed by me.

It seems to be back to that day again, he fell silently in a pool of blood, I struggled to crawl to his side, but just as my fingertips touched his clothes corner, his body was kicked away by Ren Woxing.

The desperate cracking sound was like a sharp knife, piercing straight from the chest cavity, piercing through the heart and lungs.

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I held my chest and stumbled, a little out of breath.

I don't know if there is a sieve in this world that can find out the memories buried deep in the heart, and filter out all the unbearable pain, hard thinking, and bitter parting, leaving only the unforgetable mutual acquaintance, promise, and mutual happiness.

Then there will be no more pain in the split heart, no more sleepless nights.
