Weak teacher strong apprentice

Continue to go south along Misty Peak, and when passing through Jiuzhou, it happens to catch up with the local willow branch festival. Whether it is a shop or a residence in the streets and alleys, a soft yellow willow branch is inserted on the door of every house.

"Thousands of wisps...the name on this board is rather strange"

The two stopped the carriage and took a closer look, and found that it turned out to be a small stall selling all kinds of small things. The most surprising thing was that the things they sold were all made of willow branches.

"What do you two want to buy? Come and have a look."

An elderly woman stood up from the ground with a cane, a black belt was firmly tied around her eyes, and she listened carefully to distinguish the directions of the two comers.

Seeing that her eyes were ill, Keqing couldn't bear to disappoint her, so she got out of the carriage, picked up two small baskets the size of a palm and put them in her hands.

"Just this"

The old woman stroked it and smiled, "Six copper coins in total."

Ke Qing secretly put an ingot of silver on the wooden board besides the six copper boards. When he turned around and was about to leave, he heard the man suddenly say, "It's the time when Jiuzhou is busy recently. The two of you should come from somewhere else. Why not spend a few days here”

"How do you know we're from somewhere else?"

"Your accent is different from the people here." The old woman walked to the board with a smile and put the extra silver back into Keqing's hands. "Although I am blind, my hearing is much better than others."

Seeing that she refused to accept, Keqing had no choice but to give up. He had just driven less than ten meters away when he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.It turned out that a few drunken officials came from behind, stumbling all the way with wine gourds in their hands, and the stalls of a few hawkers who couldn't escape were knocked down, and scattered small things scattered all over the floor.

Ke Qing put everything back in his eyes, turned around and said to Si Mo in a low voice, "I think that old woman is a little strange, she reacts faster than those healthy peddlers. Among these people, her things are the only ones that have not been touched." fall."

"Do you really think she's blind?" Si Mo put down the curtain by the window, and looked carefully at the two small baskets in her hand, "People who are truly blind rarely wear cloth belts over their eyes."

"Just why is she pretending to be blind?"

"Ke Qing, do you remember that there used to be a woman surnamed Liu who was good at using a long whip?"

"You mean..." Ke Qing suddenly stopped talking at this point, "but it is rumored that senior Liu Shen has been dead for more than ten years."

Si Mo lightly rubbed the small basket in her hand and shook her head, "It wasn't her who died, it was her compatriot sister Liu Wei."

"She actually has a sibling sister?"

"The two of them look very similar. The only difference is that her elder sister is blind. Because of her parents' early death, they have been dependent on each other since they were young. Liu Shen is very strong, and he only wants to make a name for himself in the arena. Over time, he got into trouble. Little enemies.

One night, the Qiu family came to seek revenge. Liu Shen was not at home, and only her sister was sleeping soundly at home. The Qiu family recognized the wrong person and killed her sister.

The next day Liu Shen came back with severe back pain, and cried for more than half a year, and then disappeared in the rivers and lakes. Rumors said that she committed suicide, but she was actually still alive."

Ke Qing nodded thoughtfully after listening, and finally turned to look at her and asked, "How did you know such a hidden thing?"

"Speaking of which, she and my mother are old acquaintances. After her sister died, my mother took me to mourn."

The elder sister who depended on each other died because of him, presumably senior Liu Shen has lived in guilt all his life.

"Then she pretended to be blind and stayed in the old state for revenge?"

Si Mo was silent for a while and shook his head, his usually indifferent eyes dimmed a bit, and his tone was slightly sighed, "Senior Liu Shen...is crazy"

crazy?

Even Ke Qing, who has always been calm, was quite shocked when he heard this. Subconsciously, he stopped his horse and turned to look at Si Mo. There was some disbelief in his eyes, "Is she crazy? I couldn't tell just now."

"She is bored at home every day and is too sad and has no intention of revenge. It's just that one day she suddenly stopped crying, tied her eyes tightly with a black cloth belt, and regarded herself as her sister. If you ask who she is now, she I will definitely say my name is Liu Wei."

The senior who had the most knowledge in whip technique in the Jianghu finally ended up like this because he couldn't accept the news of his sister's death, but Qing couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

Seeing her pensive look, Si Mo slowly suppressed his sigh in his heart.The places circled on Huang Miao's drawings were actually ordered by him, and he deliberately brought her here to Liu Shen, just to give her a lesson from the past.

"But Qing, you don't know how to express your thoughts. If you encounter such sad things in the future, you should resolve them in time. Don't let the depression in your heart cause heart disease."

"How do you know that being crazy is not liberation?"

Ke Qing looked at the endless mountains in the distance and said indifferently, "Maybe she is not really crazy, but pretending to be crazy? After she died, she became her, like two people living in one body, day and night miss her"

Keqing paused when she said this, and turned her head to look at Si Mo's words, which seemed to have deep meaning, "I am a little envious of her, because the person I think of in my heart is exactly the same as myself, even after that person dies, every day through the bronze mirror. You can barely see one or two”

The carriage fell silent in an instant, Si Mo lowered her eyes and did not look at her, and tightly clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves, as if desperately enduring the pain in her heart.

It took a long time before Si Mo raised his head, still with a calm and indifferent look.

"Look at the road, don't think too much"

"I have never been the one who thinks too much, Si Mo, I always feel that you have something to hide from me."

"You have a clear mind, how can I hide it from you"

Ke Qing just smiled slightly after hearing this, and looked up at the orange sun that was about to set. Although it was almost dusk, it was better than the magnificence of the afterglow, which made people linger as if they were not in the world.

"Okay, let's not talk about life and death. When we find the prescription, you and I will be together for decades."

Her tone was very relaxed, but Si Mo's heart trembled when she heard it, but she concealed her emotions in an instant, with a smile that only belonged to Keqing in her eyes.

"No matter how much of the rest of my life is left, I will give it to you alone"

"Recently, you have spoken more bluntly, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable"

It was getting late, the full moon was in the sky, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard.Si Mo stood outside the carriage quietly watching the stars, and for some reason suddenly remembered the scene on New Year's Eve this year.He Yi and the others happily went down the mountain to watch the lanterns, but Ke Qing stayed on the mountain with him. The stars that night were as bright as they are today, but things are different...

After a day of exhaustion, the drowsy Ke Qing suddenly heard the familiar sound of the jade flute, melodious and sad, like the endless night in front of him.The tune she played was called Yuanxi, which she personally named for this year's Yuanxi Festival.

But Qing didn't bother her, and leaned in the carriage to look at her cold side face, the silvery moonlight cast a layer of light on her, making people feel happy when they saw her.

Such a good-looking woman, such a pure and unparalleled woman, such a woman who should not be seen in the world, is the one I love, and the one who loves me very much.

Every time I think of Keqing like this, I feel warm in my heart, but my naturally cold temperament just softens into a handful of breeze in front of Si Mo, lingering around her fingertips for a long time.
