Wrong Changhuan

On the Jiarong River, a tall cargo-laden merchant ship was heading southwest at a constant speed.

On the bow deck, the barbecue melts into the sun, with a hint of warmth and fragrance.

After hearing what Chen Yu said about Chen Yang's almost death, Chang Huan looked downcast, and drank the fish porridge in the bowl blankly.

An Cuo sat beside her, although he was still grilling shrimp on a skewer in his hand, his heart was already on Chang Huan, paying attention to her every move and every frown.

Chen Yu suddenly reminded, "Your prawns are going to be burnt--"

An Cuo then withdrew his gaze and turned the bamboo stick over.

Chang Huan came back to his senses, looked up and saw that he was being stared at, and then smiled at An Cuo and Chen Yu.After finishing the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, I couldn't help looking at the bamboo sticks in the hands of the two, licked my lips, and said calmly, "I don't know, this shrimp, what does it taste like?"

An Cuo smiled unnaturally. Seeing that both sides of the shrimp were red, he pulled out one, pinched the head and peeled off the skin, then handed it to Chang Huan, and said softly, "Open your mouth--" Before I swore that I couldn't eat it After all, I still can't see Chang Huan sad.

Chang Huan blinked his big eyes, looked at Ah Cuo flickeringly, and asked, "Really...give me something to eat?"

"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it..." An Cuo said as he was about to withdraw, but Chang Huan swallowed it in a flash.

While chewing carefully, Chang Huan said with a small smile, "It's delicious...especially the shrimp that someone peeled...the taste is even better..."

An Cuo followed with a smile, "I just found mine, okay?... Before, did someone peel and eat shrimp for you?"

Chang Huan nodded thoughtlessly, and said, "In the past, when my uncle was in a good mood, he also peeled it. When my uncle was in a bad mood, my second uncle peeled it... and gave it to us both..." He said After thinking about it, Fang realized what Ah Cuo meant, so his voice inevitably became quieter, but he still managed to finish the sentence, and added a smile, "However, among all the people, the shrimp that Ah Cuo peeled, The best... the sweetest..."

An wrong heard, thought, naughty!However, he also showed relief, peeled another one, put it into his mouth and savored it carefully, and said, "This shrimp is really sweet - no wonder, someone's mouth is so sweet..."

Chen Yu had never seen such a show of affection in front of his face, his face blushed immediately, and he whispered unconvinced, "There is no one who can peel shrimp... There are also people who are picky about fish. ..”

"By the way, Chenyu, why did you suddenly arrive in Changyi City last night?" Chang Huan couldn't help asking.

"On the second day after you left, someone was looking for someone with a portrait in Jiangling..."

"But you're looking for the wrong one?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Not only her, but also you..."

Chang Huan asked in surprise, "Me?"

An made a mistake, "Yesterday, Liu Shuangshuang also found your portrait..."

"Then... My uncle and the others, do you know that you are here to help us?" Chang Huan knew that if this happened, Yang Yan would definitely be worried. If he knew that Chen Yu had brought the hidden guards, he would probably be able to rest assured Come on.

"He doesn't just know... that someone in Jiangling City was looking for you, it was Yang Yan and Lin Xiao who came to the posthouse and told the master in person..." Chen Yu said, holding the fish close to the tip of his nose and smelling it, and then put it on the charcoal fire to continue Roasting, he said, "If you want to say that there are many people in Jiangling City who are well-informed, it is your Lin family... Oh, yes, Yang Yan also said that I must bring you a sentence, and I want you to remember it in your heart." ,take actions..."

Chang Huan moved forward and said anxiously, "What are you talking about? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Chen Yu pouted his lips in disgust, and said, "That's...not a good thing for a gentleman...Say it sooner or later, it's all the same..."

An Cuo was expressionless, and said, "I'm going to be tricky again, I think you want to eat fish and only use your teeth, not your tongue..."

Chen Yu was also afraid that An would make a mistake. Hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Yang Yan said, I want you to remember... Let others fight first when fighting, don't be brave... Be the first one to escape, don't worry about it." Hesitation..." After finishing speaking, he complained again, "Listen to this—does this sound like what a gentleman would do?"

An made a mistake, "She wasn't a gentleman, she was a little girl..." said Yiran, looking at Chang Huan, and continued, "In my opinion, Yang Yan's words are absolutely correct..."

Chang Huan stared at Ah Cuo.Looking at each other for a long time, it is naturally the same mind.

How could Chang Huan not know that only those who love her would say such words, and would feel that these words were justified.Yang Yan is, so is Ah Cuo.

Those who love you will not let the so-called morals and rules in this world bind you and kidnap you.They are the ones who really want your happiness.Not only do they want you to have a happy ending, but they also want you to savor the whole process of this floating life slowly and carefully in peace and joy.

Chenyu sprinkled some pepper on his own, tore off a piece of fish, and said while eating, "Your family's tutor... is really different..." After finishing speaking, he still shook his head and clicked his tongue twice. Voice.

Seeing this, Chang Huan pouted, trying to protect his shortcomings, and said, "Hey - say I can, don't speak ill of my uncle..."

Changhuan is not the only one who protects his weaknesses.

An Cuo also turned his head to look directly at Chen Yu, and said coldly, "Apologize--"

Chen Yu was not afraid of Chang Huan, but was stunned by An Cuo's eyes. He wiped his hands on his clothes indiscriminately, puffed his mouth, and said in an instant, "You two aunts, I was wrong, I apologize...I I shouldn't talk too much...I was really wrong..." Chen Yu said and patted his face lightly, although it didn't hurt or itch, but he was really afraid of An Mi.That look, at noon, made him shiver.

Chen Yu thought to himself, he was following his master anyway, and people who have seen the big world, unbelievable, would sometimes stumble.I suddenly realized when I became a bit useless, but then comforted myself, this must be an illusion, an illusion, accidental, accidental.

Seeing Chen Yu's funny movements like a clown in a play, Chang Huan couldn't help laughing, "Chen Yu, I forgive you... From now on, we will still be friends... Since we are friends..." As he said that, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly said flatteringly, "Why don't you tell me about Princess Lanyan..."

Chen Yang got on the deck, first he saw the three talking and laughing carefully from a distance, then he was relieved, and slowly returned to the barbecue banquet, which also attracted everyone's attention.

Chen Yu said, "Why have you been here for so long? Didn't you go to bring a medicine bowl? What about the medicine?"

"Drink--" Chen Yang said, took a bunch of grilled green vegetables handed by Chen Yu, and said while eating, "you continue--where are you talking?"

Chen Yu gave a fake cough, straightened his body, and said triumphantly, "You're curious about Princess Lanyan, aren't you?"

"Hmm..." Chang Huan nodded impatiently, and said, "How does she look? What's her personality?"

An confusedly entered, and insisted, "I am not as good-looking as you, and my personality is definitely not as good as yours..."

"A mistake--don't interrupt Chenyu...I want to listen to him..."

Chen Yang said, "An's wrong, it's not wrong... The princess has been pampered since she was a child, and she is different from the young lady..." She is not as good-looking as you, and her temper is not as good as yours.

Chen Yu slandered, Xi Shi is really in the eyes of beholders, one or two words are better than singing, then Princess Lanyan can be regarded as a beautiful beauty in the capital...but she still nodded in agreement , said, "The princess has been the only little master in the palace since she was a child, and her mother is also the concubine of the master... Grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty... Even the current emperor dotes on her. On weekdays, it is true A bit arrogant and indulgent, with a bit of a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, but generally speaking, the bottom of my heart is still kind..."

After Chang Huan listened, he murmured, "Then...she must be very happy..." Growing up with her parents and relatives, with thousands of loves in her body, she has no worries about food and clothing, carefree and carefree. How could she not envy her.

Seeing that Chang Huan had finished speaking, An Cuo had a different expression, and said, "Why don't you change the subject?!"

Chang Huan shook his head and asked, "I heard that he doesn't have a concubine...is...really?"

"Yes..." Chen Yu paused, and then said, "However, in fact, you don't have to envy the princess... In the heart of the master, you are the most important..."

Chen Yu didn't know whether to tell Chang Huan about that. After thinking for a moment, he looked at Chen Yang and saw that she didn't respond, so he decided to continue, "The princess...in fact, she wasn't born by the master... said Wake up, you are the master's only flesh and blood..."

When the envy in Chang Huan's mouth and the sadness on his face entered Chen Yang's ears and eyes, the contrast made Chen Yang feel sad.

Chen Yang wished he could, immediately hugged her into his arms, cared and comforted her, and then told her, Chang Huan, you are loved.

So when Chen Yu cast a questioning look at her, Chen Yang didn't make a sound or stop him.She wants Chenyu to tell the secret, she wants Chenyu to tell her, Changhuan, someone loves you.There is also a sentence that I can't say in my heart, I love you too.

After hearing Chen Yu's words, Chang Huan was shocked, a little unbelievable.Just because she never thought about it.The news came too suddenly.He asked anxiously, "Then... my mother, do you know about this?"

Although An Cuo was also taken aback, but in comparison, his face was not showing any dew, and he was much calmer.

Chen Yu said, "Probably... I don't know... The master has kept this matter a secret for so many years, and even the master only found out about it in the past few months..."

Chang Huan lowered his head, his thoughts were confused, and he was stunned, and then his hand was held in the palm of Ah Cuo.

Chang Huan suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Yu and said, "Then, does he... still love my mother?"

"This... I think, according to what the master said, it should be..." Chen Yu scratched his head, paused, and continued, "Master said that in the early years when the Lin family was in business, the master would clear up the relationship in private. , Up to the partner of the Lin family, down to the business route, I asked them one by one, and helped to settle it... The master also said... The scar on his face is the result of the master hearing that something happened to the Lin family ten years ago... It's about you being kidnapped. When he and master took the dark guards to go to Blind Mountain overnight to kill the bandits, he blocked the knife from falling for master..."

Chen Yang frowned slightly, looked at Chen Yu and said, "I don't know about this... When did Master tell you?"

"During the days when you were on mission in Jiangdong, Master came back from the southwest, and asked me to drink with him one night... He was drunk, and told me..."

Chang Huan's expression suddenly froze, and he murmured in a low voice, "He went to Blind Mountain... So the one who saved me was him..." Shocked news came one after another, Chang Huan lowered his head and closed his eyes, He clenched his fists and rubbed his temples.

Seeing this, An Cuo hugged Chang Huan into his arms, and said softly, "It's all over..." Then he kissed Chang Huan's hair quietly.

When Chang Huan talked to her for the first time by the Moon Lake, and told her about being kidnapped, the expression of quietly weeping, the expression of pretending to be strong while wiping away the tears, deeply imprinted in An Cuo's heart. How could she forget.

That was An Cuo, the first time he lost his mind and had the urge to hold her in his arms.But that time, her outstretched hand froze in the air, but in the end she chose to withdraw it.After thinking about it many times, I hated myself for being cautious at the time.So, this time, she can finally make up for the regrets of the day, without hesitation, tell her, it's all over... everything is over...

Seeing this, Chen Yang silently lowered his head.

Chang Huan leaned in Ah Cuo's arms, feeling a little more at ease, thinking of what happened on Blind Mountain, and said quietly, "A Cuo... remember, when you asked me about my fear of the dark when I was in the Dongping Marquis Mansion, my Time not to say...now, do you want to hear?"

"You want to talk, I want to hear... Whenever you want to talk, I want to hear."

Everyone present held their breath and stopped moving.

Chang Huan just leaned in Ah Cuo's arms, looked at the nothingness ahead, seemed to be trapped in memories, and quietly started the narration.

"I remember the first day when I was caught in Blind Mountain, my uncle and I were locked in a room. I was terrified... I cried very hard... My uncle comforted me and said that he would protect me and let me Don't be afraid... He also said that mother will definitely come to save us..."

Thinking of this sad past again, Chang Huan suddenly soured his nose, smiled helplessly, and continued to speak slowly, "I listened to it at that time, so I stopped crying...Fortunately, my brother-in-law was here...but just at the On the evening of the second day, an adult came and said that my uncle can go home, but I can't go because... because my mother only redeemed my uncle, without me..."

Chang Huan took a deep breath, and said again, "My uncle doesn't want to leave me, and I don't want to leave him either... That person forced him to leave... My uncle took my hand and didn't say anything, he said , if I don't leave, he won't leave either."

An Cuo didn't know what happened back then, so he said softly, "What happened later?"

"Later, that man slapped my uncle. With that slap, he was knocked to the ground with nosebleeds all over his face and clothes..." Chang Huan frowned and said, "I don't know Where did the courage come from, I took the opportunity to bite the man's hand... But I didn't have any good fruit to eat... The man pushed me to the ground... Then, dragged my uncle and left... ...that night, I was alone in the house, very scared, the wind outside screamed all night, I hugged the candle, kept watch all night, and cried all night..."

An Cuo embraced Chang Huan's hand, and unconsciously clenched it into a fist.

"I want to go home, but no one came to save me..." Chang Huan bit his lips as he said, his eye circles were already red.

Chen Yang looked at Chang Huan distressedly, with an expression on his face, as if wishing that he could be present, and as if wishing to kill that person.

"After dawn, that person came again. He said, within three days, if mother cares about my life, she can let me go home after three days... The young lady who brought me food in that cottage, has been He was very kind to me. Seeing that I didn't eat, he secretly told me that what these bandits want is only silver, a lot of silver, and my mother didn't get it all together. After a few days, I can get it all together, and I can go home. ... She said that as long as I eat well and wait obediently, I will be able to go home... At that time, I thought that what she said was right, and she would not lie to me... I seemed to see When I came to hope, so, in those few days, I kept praying in my heart, praying that my mother would come this time and take me home... I will be obedient, never make her angry again, and never beg her Hug me, even if she won't let me call her mother, I won't cry..."

Chang Huan burst into tears quietly, and after a while, he continued, "But three days later, instead of my mother, I waited for the young lady who delivered the food. She said that my mother did not pay the ransom. ..I asked her, is it my mother...don't want me?"

At this point, Chang Huan couldn't help but wiped away his tears and said, "I beg that little sister, I said, can you tell my mother, I will be very good, and I will never make her angry again ...The young lady said, she can't help me with this... She also said that when she leaves, the door will not be locked, so I will find a chance to run away. She also said that she can only help me to That's it. After finishing speaking, she left...I saw no one in the yard, so I ran out. At that time, I wanted to go home. But that cottage is so big, so big...I don't know how to go home The way. Before I ran far, I was caught back."

An Cuo's heart suddenly seemed to be tightened.

"The man whose hand I bitten is also here. He has a horsewhip in his hand... Ah Cuo, do you know? The horsewhip hit him, it hurts so much—"

An Cuo trembled slightly, but he was extremely angry.She didn't know what to do, except to hug the person in her arms tighter, she didn't know what else to do.

"However, I didn't cry... because I thought of death... I heard the word death once, but I didn't understand it, so I asked my second uncle. The second uncle said that death is the same as falling asleep , no pain, no sadness. At that time, when I fell to the ground and the man hit me, I thought, if I die, will it really stop the pain? In that case, it should be fine... "

It seems that the clouds and the wind have stopped, and everything is still, but the people present are added, whose silence and helplessness and whose sadness are silent.

With the sound of charcoal crackling in the iron pot, Chen Yu handed a pot of wine to An Cuo's eyes.

An Cuo didn't refuse, reached out to take it, and took a big gulp.

"However, I didn't die... They were afraid that I would run away again, so they threw me into a cellar. There was only a narrow staircase leading to the ground, and there were no windows... Locked the door, so I couldn't see anything inside. ... Ah Cuo, you know, it's so dark in there... I'm so scared... I'm crying, I want my mother to save me, my second uncle to save me... But, no one came to save me...no one...no one..."

Chen Yang turned his head, silently wiped away his tears, his chest heaved violently.

Chang Huan had already burst into tears, but still continued to say quietly, "At first, there was no sound in there, and there was nothing but a black hole. But, my heart was beating so fast that I couldn't breathe... Later, I saw There are many pairs of green eyes, hiding in the dark, looking at me, waiting for me, trying to eat me. But, I have nowhere to escape... I can only curl myself up in the In the corner, close your eyes tightly, and tell yourself over and over again, I'm not afraid, don't come here...I'm not afraid, don't come here...Then, wait for yourself to fall asleep or die."

At this point, Chang Huan took the flagon from Ah Cuo's hand and took a sip slowly.And An Cuo, surprisingly, did not object.He didn't say that he couldn't drink alcohol when he was sick.

Putting down the flagon, Chang Huan wiped away tears with his sleeves, and said softly, "Inside, I couldn't tell whether it was day or night, and I didn't know how long it had been. Until one day, I vaguely heard another voice, vaguely Vaguely whispering in my ear, don’t be afraid, I’ll rescue you, you’ll be able to go home soon... But I still dare not open my eyes, I’m afraid that if I do, I’ll be alone again, facing That endless darkness... Later, I always thought that the voice came from the second uncle... Until today, I didn't know that it was him..."

It turns out that Murong Ji and I had crossed paths a long time ago.

Fate has already started.The ending is already doomed.

Hearing this, An Cuo quietly shed tears, frowned, and hugged the person in his arms tightly, resting on Chang Huan's forehead, crying, "Chang Huan, I'll be here in the future, I won't let you Go through darkness alone...never again..."

And in the cloak, Chen Yang's unseen fist clenched tightly, and the wound on his arm burst open again. The blood oozing out, staining the white bandage red, hurt his heart like a powerless pain.

"The story is over... Ah Cuo, I want to go back to sleep..." Chang Huan struggled to get up after saying that, and An Cuo carefully supported them, and they went back to the guest room below the deck together.

Chen Yang looked at the person who was leaving slowly, and said in his heart, if being a dark guard is destined to be my destiny, and my life is doomed to be dark, then it will burn myself, and I also want to use it to eliminate the darkness and shine on me. Lighting up your path is also lighting up my own heart, Changhuan...do you know?

A drop of tear quietly slipped from the beautiful mole and dripped on the deck, melting the silent expectation and vow into the heart and soul.

On the deck, there are only two people left.

Chen Yu was drinking, still reminiscing about this story, only to hear Chen Yang say, "Chen Yu, give me a pot of wine..."

Chen Yu cared, "Your body, you still can't drink..."

"Give it to me - please..."

This wine may seem to be a poison that hurts her body at this moment, or it may be the good medicine to save her soul.Only Chenyang knows.
