Shen Langgui

In Xinglin Pharmacy, a tall, white horse stopped in front of the door, and immediately jumped off a burly man. He rushed to the counter with swift steps, and shouted at the clerk who was weighing the medicinal ingredients: "Tell your shopkeepers to come out!"

The clerk was contemptuous, and directly refused: "Our shopkeeper is very busy and has no time. It is the same to tell us if there are any intractable diseases..."

Before the clerk finished speaking, the burly man swept his hand away, and the abacus on the case flew out and hit the medicine cabinet. The abacus shattered and scattered all over the floor. Can I please move your shopkeeper?"

The man hurried into the inner room.

"Boss Qin! Kiss the boss! Get out! Someone..."

The middle-aged man who was sorting out the roster of herbal medicines at his desk frowned, and said impatiently, "What are you arguing about? Don't you see that I'm busy? You can handle it yourself."

The guy explained: "No, the person who came here was not kind. This person said that if you don't go out, he will ruin the situation."

"So arrogant? I'll go meet." The middle-aged man put down his pen and slammed the curtain out.Ben had enough momentum to suppress people, but when they met, shopkeeper Qin would be tongue-tied, and after a while he stuttered and exclaimed: "Shen... Shen Yue, how could it be you?!"

Shen Yue sneered a few times: "Hehe, I happened to pass by Nanyue and wanted to have a small meeting with Shopkeeper Qin. Unexpectedly, I haven't seen you for many years, and Shopkeeper Qin's airs are not what they used to be. I have sent people to ask for an interview many times, but Shopkeeper Qin flatly refused .No way, I can only visit in person.”

"Where is A Yue talking? Kaichun is indeed a bit busy, so I told my servants to deal with it myself. If I know that it is A Yue's master, I will welcome it from a thousand miles away." Shopkeeper Qin cupped his fists and bowed Not only that, but asked again, "Ah Yue, how long have you been in Nanyue? Let's go outside, and my old friend will pick you up."

"No need," Shen Yue said indifferently, "If you are sincere, just come with me on a medical visit."

Shopkeeper Qin went in without knowing, but obediently picked up the medicine box and left with Shen Yue.

On the way, shopkeeper Qin approached him several times, but Shen Yue refused to respond, so he finally gave up and followed Shen Yue silently.The two rode their horses to a hotel, and Shen Yue said, "I'll take you to meet an old friend."

"Old man?" Shopkeeper Qin was full of doubts, but he expected that Shen Yue would not give an answer, so he could only restrain his curiosity.After crossing the corridor and crossing the bridge, Shen Yue turned his head when he reached a courtyard. After a long time of deliberation, he finally spoke only one sentence: "When you meet someone, calm down, don't scare him."

The curtains on the doors and windows in the room were all drawn, and it was dark and gloomy.Bypassing the screen of ink, mountains and rivers, inside the golden beast stove, there is a couch with a couch behind it, and a female waiter stands beside the couch.When he got closer, shopkeeper Qin was sure that there was a person sleeping on the couch, because he was too thin, so he didn't push the brocade quilt out of his human form.After a moment of recognition, Shopkeeper Qin took a deep breath and sat down on the ground: "He...he! Bai... Bailing! Bailing is not dead?!"

Afraid of waking up Xun He, Shen Yue dragged the terrified Shopkeeper Qin out of the door, and asked, "How did you know that Bai Ling died?"

Shopkeeper Qin sat down on the pedal, and after a long while, he murmured: "Bailing used to be the most popular young lady in Pengmen, but he was only looking forward to being redeemed. I have been with him for several months, and he solved my problems for me. So I agreed to redeem my body. On the third day after I negotiated the price with the bustard, he suddenly sent someone to send a farewell letter. At the same time, Bailing disappeared in Pengmen. It was a good match, and I let it go if I couldn't do it. , so he spent a lot of money to inquire about Zheng Bust, but he was told that Bai Lingxiu hanged himself that day." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Qin couldn't help wiping away the damp heat from the corners of his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Do you know that on Peach Blossom Mountain? , I built a tomb for him. Bai Ling has no relatives and no reason in this world, and every year and festival, I would go to his grave to offer incense and chat with him to relieve boredom. It has been 11 years! 11 years!!”

This shopkeeper Qin is none other than Qin Fen who was close to Xun He at the beginning, but was broken up by Shen Yue.

Shen Yue listened to Qin Fen in silence, his eyes couldn't help being sore, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Actually, I forced Ah Li, that is, Bai Ling, to write you a farewell letter back then."

"Ah?!" Qin Fen was extremely shocked.

"At that time, I was in charge of the canal repair project. When I was passing through South Vietnam, I saw you and a young man going in and out of the teahouse hand in hand. The behavior was very intimate. I thought you were not manly. I guess this young man must have used tricks to charm you. , I asked someone to find out the details of this young man. Then I confronted Bai Ling face to face, and he was speechless and forced to repair the book. Later, he took the initiative to come to the door and offered himself to persuade the young master for me. The condition is that after the matter is completed, I will He redeemed him, and kept him clothed and fed for the rest of his life."

"Oh my god! So it turned out to be like this! Then...then where are you and Bailing now?..." Qin Fen was honest, but just now he saw Shen Yue, who had always been calm, looking like an ant in a hot pot for Bailing, so he guessed that Bailing and Shen Yue The more the relationship is unusual.

"I'm his man. Also, Bai Ling has a first and last name. His surname is Qiu, and his name comes from the word 'Xunhe' in Tao Qian's "Return to Come"."

Qin Fen noticed that when Shen Yue revealed the relationship between the two and said the word 'man', his tone was casual and undisguised.Qin Fen was astonished, but also had a little respect: "Longyang's obsession has never been favored by the world. You two have persisted for more than ten years. Among them, Qin admires your perseverance. Since you and Bai...Xunhe...Qiu Young Master..." He already has a rightful owner, let's call him 'Bailing', that's not just a reference to Xunhe's past, which has been criticized by others; let's call him 'Xunhe', it's too ambiguous in front of the rightful owner; let's call him 'Young Master Qiu', Seeming unfamiliar again, Qin Fen was momentarily embarrassed.

"Just call it 'Xiaoqiu'." Shen Yue said lightly.

"Okay. After getting along for so many years, you must have understood, Ayue. You misunderstood Xiaoqiu at the beginning. You only saw that Xiaoqiu was exhausted, but you didn't know that he did things for me that I couldn't bear. Xiaoqiu It is true that his methods are ruthless, but his minions are only aimed at outsiders, and he is very good at treating his own people."

"En." Shen Yue knew clearly that Xun He had indeed done the utmost of benevolence and righteousness to Qin Fen, as well as to the former Shen and Wu residences. "Shh, keep your voice down, he fell asleep after a lot of trouble, don't wake him up." While speaking, Shen Yue looked back at the inner room to confirm that there was no movement, and then he was relieved.

Qin Fen asked in a low voice, "What happened to him?"

Shen Yue was heartbroken: "Crazy."

"Ah?!" Qin Fen didn't have time to ask, the maid went out and told him that he had woken up, and the two hurried inside.

Shen Yue called out: "Ah Li!" The person on the couch supported his body with his hands behind his back, in a daze, completely unresponsive to his name.With mixed feelings, Qin Fen fell down on the side of the couch with a plop, and shouted, "Bailing!"

Miraculously, Xun He turned his head back, but only glanced at Qin Fen, then turned his head and continued to remain silent.

Shen Yue sat down beside Xun He, and asked softly: "Master Qin invited you here, don't you want to take a look?" He held Xun He's palm as he spoke.Xun He lost the strength to support him and leaned against Shen Yue.Shen Yue explained: "He hasn't even recognized me for the past few days. Occasionally he speaks very vaguely. The only ones I can tell are 'Niangqin' and 'Master Qin', so I am in a hurry to invite you here .”

"So that's how it is." Qin Fen saw that although Xun He didn't pay attention to others, but he looked well-behaved, he definitely didn't look like a madman, so he asked Shen Yue: "How did he become like this?"

Shen Yue tidied Xun He's sideburns, and replied: "I met the young master the day before yesterday. On the way back to the mansion in the early morning, he suddenly screamed, and then fell to the ground unconscious... When people wake up, it will become like this."

Qin Fen had an unbelievable look on his face: "Did something scare him on the road?"

Shen Yue thought for a while: "At that time, before dawn, I met a few vendors going to the market, and there was nothing else."

"Why does it sound like you've run into something evil?" Qin Fen muttered to himself, and then asked, "Has this happened before?"

"... Yes," Shen Yue recalled after thinking for a while, "Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I took him back to the Shen Mansion in Suzhou to pay homage. On the way, he suddenly roared and rushed out. But he woke up after a while. So, I didn't take it seriously that time .Look... What do you think happened to him?"

Qin Fen also had no idea, shook his head, and went to see Xun He, looked at his five colors, heard his five sounds, and finally felt his pulse.Seeing Qin Fen's brows tightened, Shen Yue's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "How is it?"

Qin Fen gently put down the Xunhe Vein Gate, feeling extremely distressed: "The lamp is exhausted."

Shen Yue was stunned at first, then smiled helplessly as if he understood clearly, pulled up the quilt for Xun He, held his cold hands again, blinked his eyes on his back for a while, finally couldn't hold back, and when he lowered his head, a few hot tears fell on the ground. The brocade quilt was put on, and it was instantly smoky.After a long time, Shen Yue calmed down a little, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yingu once reminded me to be prepared, Ah Li's life will not be long. I thought... I thought that if he took good care of him, he would be able to recover... You just said, The two of us persisted for 11 years. In fact, in the first five years, I was afraid of being laughed at by the world. I refused to admit my feelings and treated him in the cold. Then a misunderstanding occurred. Yueming, who would have guessed... Who would have guessed that our love would last forever, and our fate has come to an end... Tell us the truth, how many days does he have left?"

Qin Fen hesitated for a while, and then said in a low voice, "Slow months, fast... In short, in the last days, whatever wishes he had before, let him do them."

Shen Yue chuckled: "Wish?! You don't know, in the past ten years or so, he has never been better than walking on thin ice. Even in the first few years when he was in love with me, he never asked me for anything. Hehe, until now, I don't even know what he likes and what he likes. The only thing I know is that he is a bit greedy. But for the sake of his health in the past few months, even alcohol has been banned for him." After breathing for a while, Shen Yue continued, "Struggling so much After many years, he finally earned the time to be his own master. Unfortunately, his body couldn't take it anymore. A meal...a seven-foot man only eats half a bowl, and he only changes a few sets of clothes on weekdays. The richest man in Jiangning is so frugal. He does everything by himself in the official business and store business, and he is often so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. How can it be so long when there is little food and so many things?"

Qin Fen was already dumb, so he couldn't say anything to comfort him at this moment, so he could only persuade him, "Ah Yue's condolences."

"I know he won't be around for long, but I suddenly told him that there are only a few months left, I...I really can't accept it."

Qin Fen thought for a while, and said to Shen Yue: "Ah Yue, I have invited a famous doctor to treat Xiaoqiu these few days. Besides, I run the largest medicine shop in South Vietnam, and the medicines are kept in good condition. I can't live for a few more years. Guaranteed, but a little more time is always possible."

Shen Yue shook his head, declined Qin Fen, and then explained: "A Li once told me with a smile that he committed suicide several times, but the King of Hades refused to accept him. The world is too bitter, and since he no longer misses him, why should I force him to keep him?" In his last days, let him be more at ease. There are flowers in spring, moon in autumn, cool breeze in summer, and snow in winter. As long as he has left, I will show him how many winds and moons there are in the world."
