Broken Iron Clothes

======================

There was a muffled sound, the prison door slammed shut, eyes were raised from the broken hair, and they were fixed on a certain place. Seeing that the visitor was completely cold, Xu Yixu sat upright and laughed.

"Jiang Shiqing, do you know what you hate the most?" He slowly raised his head to meet Jiang Shiqing's gaze, and said softly, "It only dragged me out of the mud."

Jiang Shiqing looked at him without moving, and then heard the man say: "If I want to live like a human being, I can only chase fame and wealth, and covet high positions, but a person's inferior background is like a rotten sore on the body. The smell is the same everywhere I go, but even though they point at me and swear at me, I have to greet them with a smile, you are no stranger to this than me."

Even in the daytime, the prison was sealed by walls so that it was airtight, and the only light was cast from the aisle, and Jiang Shiqing stood there with his back, standing neatly in the darkness of his eyes, So envious.

The shackles were dragged to the ground, and there was a harsh sound. Xu Yixu gradually stood up and walked towards the light: "Later I understood that if I want those who look down on me to be unable to open their mouths, I have to trample them under my feet and bury them." Into the field, do you know who taught me this?"

He recalled the past, smiled disgustedly, and stopped in front of Jiang Shiqing.

"It's my biological parents. They only taught me to live on my own. I have lived in that situation for 13 years. It's you," Xu Yixu pointed on his shoulder, "It's you dragged me out."

His eyes paused on the mutilated little finger, Xu Yixu escaped from the fleeting warmth, only saw Jiang Shiqing's indifference.

Pain, suffocation, and coldness, when they met again, Jiang Shiqing left him with only these feelings.Still unwilling, he raised his hand and slapped him on his chest angrily: "But why don't you save me to the end, I have nothing left, do you care more about me, will I die? I can kill the world You are the only one left, you can abandon the position of Hubu Shangshu and chase you back, what about you? What have you given me, for Yuan Mucheng and the kid next to you, pointing a knife at me again and again, lying to me, using me It is clear that you were also the one who was down and out at the beginning, why are you the only one alive now, shouldn’t we be two pieces of carrion that coexist?”

He wrinkled the man's skirt, his eyes were red: "Jiang Shiqing, do you know how much I hate you?"

"It doesn't matter anymore." Jiang Shiqing looked at him, his five fingers grabbed the throat instantly, and the strength of the neck veins went from light to heavy, as if to cut off the pulsation.

Xu Yixu scratched the bloody wrist gradually, Jiang Shiqing only squeezed the neck fiercely, and said word by word: "You will die very unpleasantly."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Yixu was pushed away, and his back hit the wall.His feet slid to the ground with the clang of the iron chain, and he leaned there to breathe, and saw a cold light emerge from the sheath along with the sound, pressing against the side of his neck.The veins on his forehead hadn't faded yet, and Xu Yixu laughed wildly: "Avenge that boy? Jiang Shiqing, why do you feel at ease? If you were willing to stay back then, nothing would happen. Why didn't you say that you killed him? The knife should be reserved for you to kill yourself and apologize."

He put the blade on his shoulders, stood without fear, and met Jiang Shiqing's eyes: "You are the accomplice who killed him."

With his arm slightly bent, Jiang Shiqing took a step forward, put the handle of the knife against his fingertips, and the back of the knife stuck to his forearm.

"Correct me," the tip of the knife was still stuck on the wall, he pushed the blade with his arm, and only when the blade was close to the man's skin, he smiled bitterly and drew the knife away, saying, "It's not about killing people." If you let him go, you didn't protect him well."

Blood oozed from the cut, but only the flesh was cut open. Jiang Shiqing didn't want him to be happy, so he twisted his wrist so that the knife edge was facing his shoulder, and chopped it off in one fell swoop.Thick blood spilled from his shoulder instantly, Jiang Shiqing pressed the handle of the knife, and inserted the sharp blade into his flesh and blood inch by inch, with a cold voice: "I feel guilty towards him, but it's not your turn to judge."

Xu Yixu gasped against the knife, his legs were bent, he gritted his teeth and lifted it up again, stood upright again, raised his palm to wipe a bloodstain on the blade, and then sprinkled the blood beads on Jiang Shiqing's cheek with his hands.

Seeing that the man was stained with his blood, he laughed even more wantonly: "Jiang Shiqing, enjoy my blood to the fullest, I'm not afraid to fall off a high platform and die under the knife, it's just that everything returns to the original point, but I didn't lose, Today's victory or defeat, you can't predict."

Xu Yixu was serious, he was waiting for Jiang Shiqing to collapse, that kind of anticipation was impatiently popping out of his eyes, he said: "Xu Bing prepared a gift for me before he died, and now, I will pass this gift on to you." for you."

Jiang Shiqing sensed the ominous situation, and tightened the handle of the knife in his hand.Feeling the faint tremor of the blade, Xu Yixu smiled bitterly.

"What happened to Jiang Yu after I was detained, do you want to hear it?" He looked up at Jiang Shiqing's expression, and suddenly grasped the blade, "The water used by those tuberculosis patients is stored in a water tank. Someone pressed his head firmly in."

Jiang Shiqing was angry, completely angry, the knife stuck on his shoulder was suddenly pulled out, and the tip of the knife pierced straight from the heart to the wall in an instant.Xu Yixu was crucified there, but trembled, excited, and couldn't help laughing wildly.

He won, he still won.

"Jiang Shiqing, you must always remember that today it was not you who killed me, but me, who will die with Jiang Yu!" He shouted with all his strength, holding the blade in front of his chest and approaching the man little by little.Jiang Shiqing hated him, the hatred in those eyes had reached its peak, Xu Yixu smiled with satisfaction, even if he had to suffer the pain of a knife piercing his body, he still wanted to get close to that person.

"After I die, you don't even think about escaping from hell. You have to continue to hate me. No matter how much you hate, you have nowhere to vent your hatred. You can't escape me in this lifetime..."

The thick blood in his palm stained his clothes, Xu Yixu cursed him like this before he died, Jiang Shiqing was lost in the blood in front of his eyes, only listening to the blood rolling down from the sharp edge, rolling down.

-

After a few ticks, sweat dripped from his forehead to the paper, and the ink stains faded away. Jiang Yu was dazed, shook his head a few times, and kowtowed on the desk.

When he woke up again, he felt pain in his chest, he coughed a few times and slowly opened his eyes, but saw a figure walking back and forth, and after a closer look, it turned out that Zhong Dingshan was smoking wormwood in his room.

"Lin Meng... why are you here?" Jiang Yu covered her mouth and coughed, her complexion paled a lot.

Hearing the sound, Zhong Dingshan looked back, put down the wormwood in his hand, and smiled: "Don't go out of the house recently, I heard that your typhoid fever was not cured before, and now your body is so weak, I see you... ..."

"I have tuberculosis?" Jiang Yu asked, and the smile on Zhong Dingshan's face froze for a moment.

He was not surprised, but only asked, "Lin Meng, how long do I have?"

Zhong Dingshan said sadly: "If it is well raised, it can last for two or three years. If it is worse, it may only last for a few months."

Jiang Yu sighed, but her voice was hoarse: "You are here, Huaichuan is here too."

"He's outside the door, I'll call him."

Jiang Yu held him back.When Jiang Yu was old, her hands would tremble, and even her robes trembled when she grabbed Zhong Dingshan.

"Since the princess of Prince Jingping's mansion passed away, General Yi has not had time to return to Yuzhou. Presumably, after the new emperor succeeds, Huaichuan should go to Yuzhou with him," Jiang Yu said, "Lin Meng , Huai Chuan has been held up by Yancheng for too long, I don't want to delay him any longer."

Zhong Dingshan didn't dare to look back at him: "I understand."

The air-conditioning outside the window had blown away the smell of wormwood in the house. When Jiang Shiqing entered, Jiang Yu was sitting on the bed, and the bloodshot handkerchief was folded squarely and hidden under the pillow.

"Huaichuan." Jiang Yu called him.

When Jiang Shiqing approached, he knelt on the side of the couch and called like before: "Sir."

Jiang Yu was moved by the long-lost shout, and raised his hand to caress his forehead, but flinched back.Jiang Shiqing took that hand and covered it to the top of his hair, then lowered his head and laid it on the side of the couch.

"Good boy," Jiang Yu looked at him, and gradually moved his fingertips to his forehead, gently smoothing out the wrinkles there, "This wind and cold didn't come in time, so you are worried, but now, Mr. Mingjun, you should be happy for Mister."

Jiang Shiqing smiled, and smelled the wormwood soaked in it through the quilt, which was a bit bitter.

Jiang Yu said: "I originally planned to go back to Crane Valley to be with Lin Meng after I traveled to Qizhou, but I didn't expect to enter the court again by mistake, and I went through several unexpected farewells... It's too complicated, and it will be even more difficult for me to leave this city, you have my shadow in your name, so let's take a look around more for Mr.

"Okay," Jiang Shiqing replied, "Huaichuan has remembered."

"Huaichuan..." Jiang Yu called him again, "Come and see you after the year, sir. At that time, the willow catkins are flying in the city, and the spring grass is still growing. My husband asked Hongyan to deliver the letter, and you will come back on horseback. It is a beautiful scene. At the end of summer and autumn solstice, when the winter is over and the winter is over, sir, I will listen to you every year to tell me about the beautiful scenery on a good day, okay?"

"Okay." Jiang Shiqing didn't dare to say anything more, his voice would tremble violently.

Jiang Yu patted him on the back, just like he did when he was sick.Jiang Yu looked forward to it longingly, and told him that one year later, two years later, until the tenth year, he said that he was gray-haired, walked slowly on crutches, and would go hiking with Jiang Shiqing in the mountains. The tea is faint, the tea is faint...

Tired of talking, he tilted his head to hold back his cough, and was about to lie down.He also said that he wanted to hear Jiang Shiqing call again, Mr. Jiang Shiqing responded, kneeling on the side of the couch and calling out one after another.

Jiang Yu would answer him, with a smile, and slowly, until he was tired.

The sound fell, and the room was peaceful again, but the smell of medicine was still hidden in the bedding.Jiang Yu had already fallen asleep, Jiang Shiqing silently exited the door, but stopped there when the door frame closed, and did not turn around for a long time.

The wind always blows that person's figure to the point of falling, Yuan Mucheng went behind him to block the wind, but his body trembled suddenly when he found support.Yuan Mucheng hugged him and took him into his arms.

Tears wet his face, Jiang Shiqing choked back his sobs, and hid all the sound in Yuan Mucheng's chest.

The mountains and rivers are still there, but some old friends will never come again.

--------------------

Xu Yixu is crazy and extreme. It is undeniable that there are influences from his native family and various factors, but this is not the reason why he should hurt innocent people, but he doesn't understand, and his attitude towards Jiang Shiqing is also "Since you don't If you want to stay by my side and don’t want to die with me or get rich together, you shouldn’t have saved me or given me hope in the first place, so everything is your fault.” This kind of logic is outrageous, but it doesn’t mean it’s not will exist.

Just like in reality, being loved or hated by this kind of person is a terrible thing.

Let me talk about the reason why there are so many boxed meals in this volume. In fact, the title of the third volume "Feng Xiao Yin" is the name of a poem. The parting of the book is the beginning, and the main theme is the parting of life and death. In the postscript, I will briefly mention the rationality of each character receiving the lunch box.
