Cover The Sky With One Hand, Beat The Ground With The Other

"Because she has fallen in love with her husband, she can't extricate herself from it."

Song Langsheng’s words made my face tremble three times. All kinds of thoughts rushed to my heart. Nie Ran let go of my hand in a daze, while Song Langsheng held the mine he had released. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If Master Nie has nothing to do with him..."

Before he finished speaking, Nie Ran interrupted: "Then what are you doing to her? Are you sincere or using it?"

This question stopped me first.

Song Langsheng put his affectionate gaze on me for a while, and then fell back to Nie Ran. Just when I thought he was going to make some nasty arguments, he said, "Naturally, I used it."

...I squinted at him, he looked at Nie Ran calmly and said, "What's wrong?"

Nie Ran picked out a thin smile and stared at me: "You know that he is using you, but are you willing?"

I don’t know where Song Luma sang it, and I didn’t think about whether to cooperate with him. But when I watched Nie Ran’s smile with sarcasm, he simply kept silent. Song Langsheng hooked his lips and held me. His hand went around Nie Ran and got into the carriage, lowered the curtain and let the coachman ride back to the mansion.

Because the carriage was hired on a temporary basis, and the inside was not as spacious as the car in the house, Song Langsheng and I sat in a row close to each other, we couldn't hide, and didn't know what to say. The car was silent for a while.

There was chaos in my mind. For a while, I wondered why Song Langsheng appeared here, and for a while I wondered whether he had taken the medicine after the fever was gone, and for a while I wondered whether his statement to Nie Ran deliberately **** him off, thought about it. I didn’t dare to ask for a long time. It’s weird to say that my attitude towards Song Langsheng is always straight. ?

After a while, Song Langsheng suddenly asked: "Are you thinking about him?"

I was taken aback, turned my head and looked at him, Song Langsheng paused: "Are you thinking about what Nie Ran's words mean?"

Nie Ran? Yes, what does Nie Ran mean in his words? It stands to reason that he knows that I have lived with him for more than a year. How can I be a substitute for the princess during this time? He talked about the danger of his life several times. Why did he make a second argument?

When Song Langsheng saw that I did not answer, he asked again: "When I said to use you, his anger was overwhelming. He only asked what you meant. Are you thinking that he still cares about you after all?"

Where does this start again? I shook my head subconsciously and said, "After all, he feels guilty about me, and it is excusable to care about it...but you, how come you tell a child that there is nothing, it seems to be deliberately showing off to make people look at jokes. "

Song Langsheng raised his eyes to look at me: "I just want to test him. If he treats you sincerely, he will not give up."

I helplessly said: "If he is unkind to let go, what shall you do?"

Song Lang was quiet and said: "It depends on what the princess thinks."

I leaned back and continued to be silent. Song Langsheng asked: "If he still has a princess in his heart, what will happen to the princess?"

I glanced at him, and I only felt that there was a sense of distrust in Song Langsheng's words. It was not Nie but the princess who co-tested with him. I said: "What else, weeping with joy, reunited with the broken mirror."

Song Langsheng held my hand tightly, and said, "What did you say?"

I said: "Broken mirror reunion."

The next moment, Song Langsheng squeezed my chin with his other hand, and it hurt. He asked in a deep voice, "You say it again."

I knew I was not as strong as him, but I didn't bother to break away, and looked at him directly: "You can try to remove the chin directly, so that this princess can't say anything, it's just what you want."

Song Langsheng froze for a moment, then realized that he was a little overreacted. He hurriedly let go of his hand, stroked my chin helplessly, frowned and said nothing. When I saw him like this, I chuckled. Come out and say: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore."

Song Langsheng cast a suspicious look.

I pursed my mouth and smiled: "You made me a silly woman in front of Nie Ran, how to say, I have to ask for it."

Song Langsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "So you are annoying me to test Nie Ran?"

I said: "Actually, you don't think you will be angry with Nie Ran. The relationship between me and him is not what you think. Just, I didn't like him at all, and he was not interesting to me. What I was thinking about was Xu. Fang, understand?"

"Aren't they the same person?"

I stretched my hand and said, "I didn't want to mention it, but you are so suspicious that you are so worried. Okay, this is how I am with Xu Fang..."

Outside the window, there were heavy clouds in the sky, no moonlight and stars, pitch black in the carriage and no fingers in sight, so Song Langsheng couldn't see my eye fog even when it came to the sad part. Maybe... I can choose to simply say or not, but sometimes once I start, it's like opening a chatterbox.

That story, those beautiful, happy, sorrowful and sorrowful, from the moment Xu Fang disappeared, only remained in my mind.

In the mountains and forests that night, Nie Ran said that he would never remember that memory anymore, indicating that I didn't have to continue. In fact, it doesn't matter if he doesn't restore his memory. I just hope that he can listen to the story that belongs to Xu Fang, let him remember Xu Fang, and don't let Xu Fang disappear in this world.

However, he would not even give me this opportunity.

I once talked to Wei Qingheng, but at that time he replied, "All your emotions are due to the memory of that year, but princess, you still have the past nineteen years, have you ever thought about it, who Which is more important."

I don't like him saying that. If you want to use time to measure your feelings, use my 19 years of life to tell me that Xu Fang is just a passer-by. If even I start to forget that memory, who can prove that Xu Fang existed in this world.

My brain was hot for a while, so I told Song Langsheng this. Although he is also an insoluble mystery, at least, when he is there, he can always feel inexplicably at ease.

It is true that Song Langsheng is not a very good listener.

He always interrupted when I was very excited, for example, "This is just wanting to get caught." "He didn't do anything wrong with you? Indeed?" "Why can he leave you alone in the inn? Should take you directly Leave! What to do when you go back!"

…

Later, Song Langsheng was completely in a posture that he could not wait to raise his knife and turn his head back to kill Nie Ran. All the sadness and nostalgia were wiped out by him. I had to remind: "If he takes me away. Tianya, I won't sit in front of you now."

Song Langsheng's hand that opened the curtain paused in the air, and then sat back peacefully, holding me tightly and refusing to let go. After a long time, he said, "I'm sorry."

I looked at him inexplicably, "It's not your fault, what is the apology?"

Song Langsheng lowered his head and said in a dull voice: "If it weren't for me, the princess would not have amnesia, would not disappear, let alone such things happen."

Although he had already guessed it, I couldn't help sighing when he confessed it himself. However, listening to his voice of apology and the faintly flickering eye waves, a warm flame rose in his heart, slowly calming his sadness.

I said: "Hey, so you are saying, I am like this, it is all your deliberate harm?"

"It's definitely not the case."

"That is unintentional loss?"

"..."

I stretched out my five fingers, although he may not be able to see it under this kind of light: "I will be able to recover all my memories in another five months."

Song Langsheng was silent.

I said: "My previous inference was...you are going to do something during this period of time, but then you think it is wrong. Strictly speaking, I can recover the period you don't want to disclose to me at all times. Memory, then, even if you tell me, what's the matter?"

Song Langsheng remained silent, and he was so silent that I almost wanted to say something to stimulate him again, when he suddenly said, "Perhaps because, I don't know where to start."

His voice was slightly low in the darkness, "I can't guess what the princess was thinking at the time. It is unbelievable that the princess would make such a choice in that situation, but after all I hurt the princess. I am afraid that I will tell the princess the truth. From that moment on, the princess will resent me and leave me. If this day comes sooner or later, how long can it be delayed as long as..."

"I will not."

I put my other hand on the back of his hand and looked in his direction seriously: "I will not resent you, even if Nie Ran treated me like that, I never hated him, Song Langsheng , Don’t be stingy with what I think."

"That's different...Princess, at least, Xu Fang has never failed you."

Quiet.

Crescent Moon came out again, coming in through the window of the car, Song Langsheng might have noticed that I was looking at him, turned his bright black eyes to look over, lowered his eyelashes, and turned his head back.

I knew I couldn’t make any sense anyway, so I had to give up, “You’re frank in this society. Yes, I won’t force you. Anyway, you just don’t want to say it.”

Song Langsheng said: "The princess finally realized it."

I was choked and speechless, thinking and thinking and feeling unwilling: "But I have told you about me and Xu Fang, and now I have no secrets in front of you, but for you and me, It's almost full of mysteries, it's not fair."

"so?"

"So, you have to share a story about you with me."

Song Langsheng turned his head and looked at me again. This time he was amused: "The princess asks casually.

"..."

It's a good time to talk about it. If you want to ask, you should ask something that you don't know even if you want to restore your memory...

I thought for a while and asked, "I want to know... the story of that fan."

"fan?"

"Yes, it's the fan that was torn by me and patched up by you, with flowers and grass painted on it, as if it was given to you by your sweetheart. You are very precious."

Song Langsheng let out a cry, and I peeped at him calmly. His expression didn't change much: "There are a lot of fans that she gave me, but I promised to paint them for her, but unfortunately I couldn't send them out later. ."

I nodded.

Song Langsheng also nodded.

Me: "...that's it?"

Song Langsheng said: "Otherwise?"

"No, does the story have no beginning or end like you... Antecedents? Consequences? What happened? Who is she? When and where did you draw the fan? Why didn't you send it out?"

Song Langsheng raised his sleeve to his mouth and coughed slightly, "Those... are a long story..."

I stared at him and said, "Long words must be said, and short words are not allowed."

Song Langsheng smiled and said, "It's okay, but the princess has to agree not to be jealous after listening."

I vigorously said: "This princess has a broad mind."

Song Langsheng found a comfortable position and leaned back, raised his head and blinked, as if he was reminiscing: "It was about six or seven years ago, when I was still a test subject for the scientific expedition. Due to the shortage at home, I went to the city when I had spare time. Draw a fan and set up a small stall. I live on the outskirts of Beijing. When the sun sets and the stall ends, I will drop by the nearby mountain to pick firewood and water. It was exactly that time that I rescued a little girl trapped in the mountain."

I gave a long cry, and the thief smiled and said, "Hero save the United States..."

"I am neither a hero nor beautiful. Not only is she not beautiful, but also quite difficult. She cried unaccompanied and met a thief and fled. So far I don’t know where my home is. Anyway, I’m full of nonsense, but I Thinking that she was a little girl after all, she couldn't bear to leave it alone, so she had to take it home and stay for a few days before making plans."

I let out a long cry again, and said, "That must be someone's little girl who has fallen in love with you, deliberately and deliberately."

Song Langsheng smiled noncommitantly when he heard the words, and continued: "That little girl is indeed very strange. She claims to be a country girl, but her hands are delicate, not like doing rough work, but if she is a famous daughter, she is missing so much. Nothing happened. Chengri was wrapped in a veil and only said that she was extremely ugly and could not bear to see it. When I was reading the book, she didn’t bother, sitting quietly on the side and reading with the book. I only wondered about her at the time. She is just a teenage girl who has watched the whole "Spring and Autumn" and was able to talk about one or two when she chatted. Later, when I was bored by reading it, I would try to talk to her. Her views were often skewed, but It's also very interesting, and it makes people laugh."

I pierced my fingertips and said, "The hidden girl, what happened later?"

"Later..." Song Langsheng smiled, "Later one day, she disappeared."

I asked: "Where did she go?"

Song Langsheng shook his head, "Just left a note with the words'I will come back'."

"Then what?"

"Then I will continue to prepare for the exam and prepare for the exam."

"Do you miss her?"

Song Langsheng curled his lips, "At first I was relieved and felt that I was less burdensome, but within a few days I really thought about it, worried that she would have an accident alone. In those days, I would go to the top of the mountain more when I picked firewood. After going around, for fear that she would fall into a trap accidentally, making Tiantian not respond and making the ground unworkable."

I smiled and asked, "Then when and where did you meet again?"

Song Langsheng said: "Half a month later, a person appeared in front of my stall and smiled and asked me how much silver a fan sells."

"is her?"

"Ok."

"And then?"

"Then I replied, it depends on the painting. She asked for the most unique one. I laughed and said that it was priceless, so she was pleased to accompany me to sell fans, and then went home with me."

priceless? I thought for a while, and suddenly: "So you promised her to give her a unique fan specially painted for her. Was it the one afterwards?"

Song Langsheng nodded.

"And then? Did she say who she was?"

Song Langsheng said: "She is wearing a court lady's uniform, so she is naturally a court lady. At that time, the former prince was resting in Yulong Villa. She was the maid accompanying the prince out of the palace. Yulong Villa was also in the suburbs of Beijing, so she ran into it."

I was surprised: "It turned out to be my brother's maid... What happened later?"

"Later... Later she told me that she might be going back to the palace soon."

"Ok."

"So... I suddenly felt very sad..."

"Ok."

Song Langsheng smiled, "So, I promised her to try her best to do well in the imperial examination, and wait until she is released from the palace and the matchmaker is getting married."

I pondered for a moment, and suddenly a thought came out of thin air, and I became nervous: "Hey...couldn't it be, she's still waiting for you in the palace now, and you've been waiting for her to marry her... and in the end, a Cheng Yaojin came out. , It’s me, I force you to be my husband... That’s why you hate me so much, right? You want to disperse my poison with forgetting your soul, hoping to leave me and marry her? But then you found that I was good to you, so you fell into Deep in self-blame and self-entanglement? Then I...Isn’t I guilty of the worst?"—

I am the dividing line—

Song Langsheng squinted: "Don't be too fanciful."

I whispered, "So... she's in Yulong Villa, you're in a small house in the country, and occasionally secretly meet up when you are free?"

Song Langsheng didn’t bother me with such words, and only smiled and said: “She also cleverly found a big tree and asked me to wait for her under the tree every day. At that time, I even began to worry about my imperial examination. If you can't, your heart is scattered out of the sky."

I smiled, "Then why are you not together?"

Song Langsheng looked dazed and looked down and said: "On the day I finished drawing a fan and wanted to give it to her, my family had changed. Before I could tell her, my father suddenly took me and my mother away from Beijing. ."

I wondered: "What do you mean? Your father got a vengeance outside?"

Song Langsheng raised the corners of his lips elusively, "I think so."

His smile was extremely unnatural, and the corners of his mouth were stiff. I knew he didn't want to say more, but said: "So you left the little palace lady and left alone?"

Song Langsheng laughed at himself: "If you leave her alone, that would be fine. It's just that she was still young and regretted not long after she left the city gate. For fear that she would stay at the agreed place for a long time, and fear this. It's hard to see each other as soon as I leave."

"So you went back to find her?"

Song Langsheng said: "I'm not sure if she is willing to leave with me. Even if she doesn't, I want to lift her veil. If I can return to the capital in the future, I won't know each other."

I wondered: "Why doesn't she show her true tolerance?"

"She always said that she was extremely ugly, and she didn't want to be seen by me." Song Langsheng smiled as he thought about it, smiling in memory, "But as far as I can see, some of her exposed skin is slightly red and swollen, it seems that something has grown. It’s natural for women to always love beauty and not want to show others."

I nodded, "What happened later? Did you see it?"

"She is the maid of the former prince, and the prince returns to the palace, she should also go with her. It has passed when I rushed back, but she was still waiting for me under the tree. The moment she turned around, I also saw it. Her appearance."

I subconsciously asked: "Is she born beautiful?"

Song Langsheng said: "Beautiful. In fact, no matter how she was born, she is beautiful in my opinion. I didn't know what to do at the time, or was frightened all the way. When I saw her, I hugged her and asked her if she wanted to. Willing to wander the world with me."

Listening to his description, a little bit of sourness appeared in my heart somehow, and I said, "Then...Is she willing?"

Song Langsheng said: "She said she was willing, but she had to go back and clean up her hands. We met at Youshi, heh, every moment of waiting was very tormented. Fortunately, she still came. Later, she left Beijing with me. "

I didn't expect it to say: "So, then, shouldn't you be together? Where is she now?"

Song Langsheng's tone trembled slightly: "There is no more after all. Then she died."

"Okay, why did she die?" I grabbed his sleeve, "You speak more clearly."

Song Langsheng was silent for a long time, until he could only hear the sound of horses hooves out the window of the night road. After a long while, he spoke.

"I encountered a master in ambush on the road, two fists are hard to beat four hands, I failed to protect her."

"Who is it? Who will harm you?"

Song Langsheng turned his head suddenly and glanced at me with a strange look. That expression made me feel chilled for some reason, but I couldn't understand it. I stammered and asked, "Those people are going to chase and kill your parents." Your enemy?"

Song Langsheng's expression paused for a while before he said, "Yeah."

I said: "Your martial arts are so good, how can you not protect her? Why did she die but you survived? Song Langsheng...Would you bear to watch your beloved die in front of you?"

With an indescribable expression, Song Langsheng uttered a few words with difficulty: "There are too many ambushes. To keep her safe, I let her ride the horse away first. After I jumped off the horse and dealt with the people, unexpectedly..."

I waited for him to continue.

"She fell off the horse before she ran very far, smashed her head, and lost too much blood..." Song Langsheng pursed his lips, and said sadly, "It was because I was not thinking about it. I was relieved to leave her alone because I had taught her to ride a horse. , I don’t think the situation is too dangerous, she can’t control her tension for a while...I’m not good—"

I patted the back of his hand lightly, not knowing how to comfort him, he slowly exhaled, as if trying to stabilize his emotions, "I killed the killer and was seriously injured. After burying her, I went to find me. Dad and mother, I don’t know... They were trapped in a village infected with the plague in order to wait for me. The local fainted officials feared that the epidemic would spread to Zhou County, so they sealed up the entire village. When I arrived, they were already infected with the plague. The sky is exhausted."

I suddenly regret let Song Langsheng recall this story.

I can't imagine a vigorous young man watching his relatives and lovers fall with his own eyes, and the feeling of being separated from yin and yang from now on, whether his heart is devastated after that night.

A drop of water splashed on the back of my hand, and my heart suddenly hurt, like a silver needle stuck on the cusp of my heart.

I choked and murmured: "Don't cry..."

"Fool." A hand flicked the corner of my eye, "Find out who is crying."

When I looked up at him, my vision was dim. I closed my eyes, the soreness in my eyes couldn't get rid of, as if there was something in it, I kept opening my eyelids and overflowing.

Song Langsheng knocked on my head: "Why do you feel so hard for me as a client?"

I wiped my tears, and said: "This shows that this princess is pure in heart, especially emotionally good?"

Song Langsheng rubbed his forehead helplessly, and smiled: "Sensibility will never solve the problem. If I only know that I am sad, I will not be able to win the top prize, nor even be able to enter the court to take power. Of course, I did think of revenge at that time. , But I know that I can assassinate the faint official, but I can’t prevent another faint official from killing more people after the faint official. The real murderer is brought to justice."

Although Song Langsheng's tone was still calm, I heard a breath of awe in the plain words.

It's not like Wei Qingheng's calmness, calmness and solitude; it's not like Han Fei's tenacious and unyielding, not afraid of frost; it's not like Nie Ran's aloof and cold, calm and glamorous.

In his eyes, there was no resentment, no pureness out of thin air, and no sighing on a railing, but what he wanted.

I said: "Later, the enemy didn't ask you to cut the grass and root?"

Song Langsheng laughed: "Whatever was said by the princess, the taste changed..."

I pursed my mouth and smiled: "Now that the sapling has formed into a big tree with deep roots, who can easily understand Dali Temple?"

Song Langsheng’s eyes flashed another trace of sentiment that I couldn’t understand: "Maybe it’s not enough..."

"what?"

He said: "It's nothing, but later... I just found a few crimes and knocked that faint official back then."

"...So is it a public revenge?"

Song Lang took physiology for granted: "Yes."

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "What a righteous Master Song." After thinking about it, "Then the master behind you who was chasing you, have you verified who it is?"

There was an imperceptible tremor in my hand, I thought, maybe I recalled his painful night again.

Song Langsheng gave a long hum.

I asked, "What about the revenge? Is revenge?"

Song Langsheng's hands were moisturized, "Maybe... it's a report."

"What do you mean by maybe? If you report it, you'll be reported, and if you haven't reported it, you've never reported."

Song Langsheng said: "What is meant to be revenge, take the other’s life or hurt the other? But if I take revenge, will I become someone else’s enemy again? Right or wrong, black and white is always hard to say. In a nutshell." He touched my head, "I have answered so many questions about the princess tonight, so I can choose not to answer it?"

I nodded slightly, only feeling that the more I knew about Song Langsheng, the less I could see through him.

The carriage can be turned to the princess mansion by turning its head. Song Langsheng asked the coachman to stop. Seeing me in surprise, he said, "Don’t think about the master who assassinated me. And if you die by fraud, you have to perform enough to act. How can you go back to the house from the front door?"

I looked at him with a wry smile. It turned out that I had been planning for a long time in private, and he could guess Ni Duan without much thinking.

He helped me to jump out of the carriage and led me all the way. The night was heavy, he seemed a little uneasy, and he simply hugged me and wandered in the night.

I warmed my heart, looked at the men's clothing on my body, and smiled: "Are you afraid of being seen and suspected of breaking your sleeves?"

Song Langsheng smiled perfunctorily, but didn't reply to me. I lifted my head and looked at the side face that was still flying through the moonlight, with an unruly expression, but...a little depressed.

What was he thinking about? Is it because you miss that little palace lady?

I sighed.

Actually... I asked him so closely if he had revenge, not really wishing him to be alive in hatred...but, if the revenge is revenge, the blood hatred will probably be relieved.

"Hey, Song."

Song Langsheng turned his head, "What?"

"Just the fan... why do you paint the sun, bees and flowers."

Song Langsheng thought for a while, and said: "Because of her name, it fits the scene."

"Name? What is her name?"

Song Langsheng said clearly and clearly: "Pick honey, pick honey, pick honey, pick honey."

Pick honey.

When this name caught my ears unexpectedly, the original clear mind fell into a whirlpool again.

I am a little unsteady on my feet.

Vague silhouettes and sweet voices slid through my mind.

"The slave and maid gather honey, and follow the rules and etiquette of the palace to teach the mother to do things with Zhong Cui. The qualifications are still relatively small..."

"The princess's great grace to pick up honey is unforgettable, and the servant girl is willing to serve the princess for a lifetime..."

"Why does the princess make the servants so worried? She said that she would come back before Haishi, and she was only a little bit far behind to be seen through..."

"From now on, as long as it's the princess's business, it's okay to pick honey and go through fire and water."
