chance world

The carriages and horses of Lu Weixi and the others arrived in Xingcheng in the early morning of the next day. Along the way, Lu Weixi wandered between emotion and reason, and whenever he thought of his parents' love and the teachings of etiquette and wanted to cut off his love, his feathers were gentle. Her voice and affectionate eyes will always linger in her mind, crushing all her rationality; whenever she wants to be desperate for the warmth of that person's arms and the tenderness on her lips, the heavy guilt for her parents will arise spontaneously, and she will be born again. Quench the fire of her burning feelings.Lu Weixi seemed to have fallen into a huge net full of thorns, cutting it constantly and still chaotic, because his mind was thick and his mind was getting thinner day by day.Lu Weiming and Qing'er asked all kinds of questions but couldn't find out why, so they could only worry about them.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the General's Mansion, and the person who helped her get off changed back to Qing'er. Even though this was the case all the way, Lu Weixi still couldn't get used to it.She stopped her unconsciously wanting to divert her eyes, did not look at the nearby courtyard door, but was supported by Qing'er into the mansion, even though she knew that the man was inside.It's a pity that two walls and two doors separate two people and two hearts.

Ding Qiyu remained in the same position and sat there blankly until dawn, gradually thinking about some things, walked out of the room, washed and tidied up, looked in the direction of the main room, and went out alone when there was no movement.I went directly to the official car and boat company in Xingcheng and walked in.The Department of Cars and Ships is responsible for the long and short distance travel of the common people. It is similar to Ding Qiyu's former transportation hub in the world. Here you can rent horses and carriages, buy travel tickets and so on.

Ding Qiyu stepped forward to inquire about a middle-aged man who was concentrating on writing in front of the counter and said, "Brother, how can I get to Jiangnan faster and more conveniently?"

The middle-aged man on duty raised his head and asked, "There are many towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which one do you want to go to?"

"Eh..." Ding Qiyu choked, she didn't know where to go, so she asked again, "What is the largest city in the south of the Yangtze River?"

It's rare to meet a person who can't even figure out where he wants to go. The man on duty thought it was funny, but still said patiently: "Hehe, there are two capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, Yinzhou and Chengzhou, which one do you want to go to? "

"This...just Yinzhou, how can I go conveniently?" Anyway, there was no specific destination, so Ding Qiyu simply chose one at random.

"Well, my lord, wait a moment, I'll show you." The man on duty took out a brochure and flipped through it, planning the itinerary for Ding Qiyu, "From Xingcheng to Yinzhou, the waterway is the most convenient and safe. Take the The boat goes down the Xinghe River, arrives at Dingcheng Wharf, and transfers to the boat to Yinzhou. From the Xingyu Canal to the Yujiang River, crosses the Yujiang River, transfers to a horse-drawn carriage, and then walks a short distance to Yinzhou. Or After arriving at the Yujiang River, you can go directly to the tributaries of the Yujiang River, and you can also go to Yinzhou by water."

The unheard of place names made Ding Qiyu feel dizzy. He regretted that he didn't listen carefully when he was in the academy, so he asked directly, "How long will this journey take?"

The middle-aged man checked again: "Counting the special factors on the way and the time of the passenger ship's berthing, if it is fast, it will be [-] days, if it is slow, it will be one month. After three days, there will be a boat from Fenglindu to Dingcheng Wharf .”

"Three days later... What's next?" Ding Qiyu clenched his fists, not knowing what he was hesitating about, what he was hoping for.

The man shook his head: "I haven't got any further arrangements yet."

Ding Qiyu was silent for a moment, sighed, and then nodded his thanks: "Okay, thank you." Leaving the driver and running home, he happened to meet Lian Er coming out of the main room. She obviously hadn't rested well, her eyes were red and swollen, and her eye sockets were black and blue , Ding Qiyu didn't dare to look any more, and went straight back to the room without saying hello.Sitting at the work desk, after hesitating for a long time, he picked up a pen and wrote a few figures on the paper, put them in an envelope, and wrote the words "Wei Xi Dear Envoy" on the envelope.Walking out of the room with the letter in his arms, he met Lian Er in the courtyard for a moment, then looked away sadly, and went straight out the door.

Ding Qiyu went to the gate of the general's mansion, and directly handed the letter to the nursing home who knew her at the door, and asked the nursing home to hand it over to Qing'er on her behalf, and then went to Hejia Village.When I arrived at Hejia Village, I found Master He who taught her carpentry. I hoped to find some carpenters who can go to the south of the Yangtze River with me to work hard.After hearing her intentions, Master He wished he could be a few years younger, but his old body couldn't stand the big trouble anymore, so he could only recommend his four young apprentices to Ding Qiyu.The four apprentices were all teenagers who were about the same age as Ding Qiyu. After hearing Ding Qiyu's explanation, they were very moved. They went back to discuss with their family members, and finally three of them decided to go to Jiangnan with her.After finding three helpers, Ding Qiyu hesitated, and decided to go to He Ankang. Although he doesn't know how to do carpentry, he is a down-to-earth person and willing to work. If he can do something himself, he can be regarded as finding a way to repay his previous enthusiasm for helping.When He Ankang heard this, he really wanted to go, and his parents couldn't stop him, so he could only let him go out.

So far, Ding Qiyu has a small team and has become a small "boss", with four people under his command.She thought carefully that part of the money she earned from selling curved leaf plows and bows and crossbows as an errand in the general's mansion could be used as "startup capital" for production costs, the monthly money of the four subordinates, and her own life. Leave it to A Niang and Lian Er to use it first, and I will start doing agency business on the road. If there is any profit, I will send money back at any time.

At this time, Yaolu of the General's Mansion lived inside. Qing'er had just received a letter from Ding Qiyu, took the letter and walked to Lu Weixi who was sitting by the railing in a daze, and said, "Miss, Mr. Ding—" After finishing speaking, Lu Weixi's body trembled slightly, "A letter for you." Qing'er handed the letter to Lu Weixi, wondering why the two of them cared so much, why would it develop into the current situation...

Holding the letter in her hand, Lu Weixi lowered her head and saw the familiar handwriting on it. She felt that the letter paper weighed ten thousand catties. She was suddenly afraid to open it, afraid to read "forget each other", "never meet again" such decisive words.But the letter had already been delivered to him, if it was really a love letter, even if he didn't read it, he would also be broken.Thinking of this, Lu Weixi endured tears and opened the envelope. There was only one sentence in the letter: "If Xi'er does not give up, I will wait until the end of Fenglin Ferry in three days."

She is giving me three days to think about it, and if there is no result, she will break up... Lu Weixi tightly squeezed the letter paper in her hand, and once again fell into a battle between heaven and man.

After Ding Qiyu finished everything, he returned home, and told A Niang alone when he left and his future plans, and hoped that A Niang could comfort Lian Er well.But Lian'er knew the truth, so she probably wouldn't be so reluctant to bear herself... For some reason, thinking of this, Ding Qiyu felt inexplicably uncomfortable.Dispelling A Niang's idea of ​​rushing to make clothes for herself again, she went back to her room on her own, and packed all the things to take away in advance.I really don't know what else I can do to keep myself busy. Ding Qiyu went out to Fenglin Ferry in a strange way, and sat quietly on a big rock, staring at the passing ships and business travelers in a daze. Perhaps, he was also looking forward to the return In an instant, a familiar figure could be seen.

It was like this for two days in a row, Ding Qiyu didn't dare to leave the house, and only went back for a while every day at the meal time, filling his stomach in a hurry at the dinner table, and then fled to Fenglin Ferry in a daze.Lu Weiming was worried about the two of them, so he visited twice, but he couldn't find anyone. He didn't know that Ding Qiyu had plans to leave Xingcheng, so he planned to come back another day.

And Lu Weixi also took the letter written by Ding Qiyu and thought about it for two days. The memories of the two of them flooded her heart. Nostalgic, gradually, the tangled balance in my heart tends to be emotional.Apart from Ding Qiyu, Lu Weixi can't imagine, let alone who can bring him happiness, even if Qiyu is a woman, so what?Her heart for her and her love for her are true... I really want, I really want to be self-willed just like this, just like this, let's be self-willed once.Lu Weixi finally made a decision, and at Chenshi tomorrow, he went to Fenglin Ferry to find Ding Qiyu.

It's a pity that the hearts held by each other did not escape the teasing of the world.

Just as Lu Weixi was about to clear up his mood for the battle between heaven and man, he heard Qing'er's anxious voice: "Little Miss!" Qing'er hurried into the room to find Lu Weixi, "Madam, Madam, she fainted!"

Lu Weixi was anxious when she heard the words, and stood up: "What's going on? Why did my mother faint when she was so good?"

Qing'er didn't care about her breathing, and hurriedly said the news she heard: "Qing'er heard that it was, it was the eldest son who had the news, maybe it was something bad... Madam fainted when she saw it ..."

"Brother?" Lu Weixi became more anxious now, and ran out with her skirt in hand.I ran all the way to the courtyard where the general and his wife lived, and saw my father and my second brother standing at the door of the room. The door was open, and there were many female doctors inside who were treating me. ?”

General Lu frowned, with a mournful expression on his face, he looked a lot older, he looked around and said in a low voice: "Your elder brother has sent a secret report that the Yuquanguan defense map has been stolen, and the northern bandits are attacking like a broken bamboo. It was not revealed that he was defending the gate to the death, Yuquan was holding it, but it was not revealed to him...he was injured by the enemy general's hook sickle, and lost a leg..." Then he sighed wryly, "As a warrior, he lost his leg. Worried about him..." The general couldn't continue.Among his three children, Lu Weizhao is the most similar to him. He was fond of martial arts and obsessed with the art of war since he was a child. It's unbearably sad.

"What..." Lu Weixi was very sad when he heard the news. Eldest brother is obsessed with martial arts just like she is about piano art. Eldest brother lost his leg. What a blow it would be to him... Lu Weixi was extremely worried for his elder brother, and was so anxious Tears welled up in her face, but she couldn't help, so she had to ask again: "What about the mother? How is the mother's situation?" Lu Weiming on the side remained silent, hating himself for being useless and unable to replace Father and brother share their worries.

The government doctor who saw the doctor inside happened to come up to report the situation: "General, madam's mood fluctuated too much, and her heart and lungs were stagnated due to grief, which led to fainting. Because madam has been suffering from heart-qi deficiency syndrome before, it takes a period of rest to recover. You can't mention anything that affects your wife's emotions."

Lu Weixi's heart sank when she heard the words, but she didn't want to go back on the decision she had made. She gritted her teeth and cut off the entanglement in her heart. She only wanted to do her best in front of her parents in the future to make up for it. own willful decision.

Because Mrs. Lu hadn't woken up yet, Lu Weixi and Lu Weiming didn't want to leave, but stayed in the room to help take care of their mother. They stayed busy until midnight before Mrs. Lu woke up.Lu Weixi looked at his mother who had finally woken up, and his heart relaxed, but a sudden dizziness rushed to his brain, and he lost consciousness.
