walk to the water

Chu Xiang nodded, the setting sun is ruthless, and the Yellow River is going east. The situation is the same as that time, but things have changed.

"The green hills are still there, and the sunset has been red for several times. From that day to now, many years have passed... At that time, I wanted you to give up, to give up, to take you to see the Yellow River, and I hope you can understand, but now I know, I Wrong!" Fu Ling's voice revealed deep helplessness, and there was a trace of sadness and exhaustion, "I was wrong, if you really give up, your heart will really die, and what stays with me is just a soulless Body, what do I need such a body for?... I let you come to the Yellow River again, but I hope you can come back alive, I have been waiting for a long time, tell me, is there any hope?"

Chu Xiang was shocked by the unprecedented pleading in Fu Lingyan. All these years, he has been immersed in the pain of the past, but have he ever really tried to understand the person behind him?He has his patience, and he also has his fragility... Chu Xiang was silent, not knowing how to answer, Mo Yun walked forward slowly, and the two cast long shadows together.Looking up, the setting sun is gradually getting bigger and redder, like a ball of fire, the rushing Yellow River nearby, and the undulating mountains in the distance all reflect colorful brilliance.The world is boundless, all of this has not changed since ancient times, only the metabolism of the world, the infinite country, today is finally ruled by one person... For a moment, Chu Xiang suddenly wished to leave everything behind like this, and walk through thousands of mountains and rivers with him Ride to the end of the world.Shaking his head, secretly blaming himself for his indulgence, he sighed and said, "What a beautiful sunset! But Your Majesty didn't know, there was a period of time. I was so afraid to watch this sunset..."

"Oh?" Fu Ling asked, never heard him say it.

"That's after being poisoned by the Mietian Poison, after taking the Hundred Days' Grace." Chu Xiang spoke slowly, his eyes blurred.It seemed to be covered with a shadow, "I didn't know that what His Majesty gave me was the antidote. Every day when it gets dark, the poison will be sent out at regular intervals. The night is a terrible hell for me... Every evening, I will take a I was lying on the bed. Looking at the sunset outside the window, the silence of the bedroom was like a huge tomb. The fiery red sun sank little by little, as if it was going to suck me into the bottomless hell, and my heart sank little by little. Heart palpitations are like suffocation, it is a kind of inescapable despair, watching myself step by step towards destruction, all struggles are in vain..."

"Xiang'er! Stop talking!" Fu Ling cried out in pain. "Do you think I'll be better then?"

Chu Xiang paused.But he went on to say: "At that time, I thought that there was nothing sadder than the sunset, and nothing more terrifying than the night, and I realized later. I was too naive, and that was just the beginning... The real hell is ten times, a hundred times more terrifying... ..." Chu Xiang stopped talking.He smiled silently. "However, today I have the courage to face the sunset. Because..."

"Because of what?" Fu Ling asked.

for what?Because of you, because of you who are willing to spend the long night with me, your warmth, your strength, you once told me that there will be sunrise after sunset... "Because... because the experienced old man told me that observing the sunset You can know the weather tomorrow, so you can make arrangements early. Look at this, it will rain tomorrow!" Chu Xiang finally didn't say what was on his mind, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask about the project status? "

Fu Ling said: "You don't need to ask, I've actually been here a long time ago, watching you work from a distance, waiting for you to call it a day."

"Ah?" Chu Xiang turned around in surprise, a blush was already on his face, "Your Majesty is hiding in the dark and peeking at me?"

"Well, I'm not peeking, I'm afraid I'll miss your business." Fu Ling took Chu Xiang's hand, fingers gently stroking his palm, where thick calluses formed, "Xiang You've worked so hard, I feel sorry for you, when will this project be finished?"

"As long as the cost is sufficient and the progress is accelerated, the project will be completed before the flood season next year." Chu Xiang replied.

The dark red sunset finally fell into the sky, the afterglow faded away, and night fell. A crescent moon was inlaid on the pure dark blue sky, looking down coldly on the boundless land under the sky.Fu Ling said: "Xiang'er, this time I am going out of Beijing alone, I have to stay at your place tonight and go back early tomorrow morning."

Chu Xiang had a troubled expression on his face: "Your Majesty, the place where I live is too simple and unsuitable for Your Majesty to keep."

Fu Ling feigned anger and said: "Xiang'er, you won't drive me to sleep in the wild, will you? Why can't I live where you can live? Chu Xiang had no choice but to take Fu Ling back to the residence not far from the construction site. , it was a row of low huts made of adobe, only about the height of one person, and covered with a thick layer of thatch, which was already blackened by the wind and sun. The noise was heard from a distance, mixed with unbearable Chu Xiang explained: "This place is no different than in the army. They are tired during the day, and they always want to relax and vent at night. Take Fu Ling through the rows of shacks, to the last few rooms, and said: "This is the residence of me and my entourage." "Going to the door in the dark, opening the wooden door, and bending over to enter, the room was pitch black. Chu Xiang took out a torch and lit an oil lamp on the table. Looking at the dim light, Fu Ling realized that Chu Xiang was indeed not exaggerating. The hut with a square meter of several feet is really shabby, except for a hard bed made of wooden boards by the wall, a table, a few chests and boxes, there are no benches and chairs, and the room still has a damp and musty smell. Fu Lingqi said: "You're coming here, where are the people sitting? "

Chu Xiang said: "If you want to discuss things with people, sit on the bed if there are few people, and sit on the floor if there are many people."

Fu Ling said with a smile, "I will not accept you if I want to sit on your bed." Then he said, "You once said that a thatched hut is enough, and this is your wish." Hearing the wind outside, "This house is winter It's sad... Even if your dignified second-rank imperial envoy doesn't care, the people under you will be full of anger and resentment."

Chu Xiang pursed his lips, and said: "Even if they are angry, I have a gold medal in hand, and they dare not speak out. What's the point of blaming me now? After the completion of the project, His Majesty will reward you greatly, and they will be grateful."

Fu Ling calmly said: "Xiang'er will really make plans for me." Looking around the dilapidated hut, he was deliberately simple, because he was afraid that if he behaved badly, based on his relationship with me, I would incur slander from the court, right?Fu Ling admired him, but lazily stretched his waist and yawned: "I've been running all day, and I'm really hungry. Do you have anything to eat here?"

Chu Xiang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to have a look."

When Chu Xiang came back, he held a plate of cooked beef and a few large pancakes, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Your Majesty, it's past the time for dinner, and I only found this to eat." He could have called someone to prepare it again, but Fu Ling He will not say anything, so he has to come back and return to his life.
