Go Home

When the sun rises and the sunset winds, the wind stops, and time flows before my eyes like water, and it is only a flick of a finger for three days. This night the moon was bright and clear, and the deep grass and trees in the courtyard were caged, and there was a silvery white light.

A gust of autumn breeze swept across, and leaves rustling everywhere.

Lu Zhui wrapped himself in the quilt and retracted his chin.

"Cold?" Xiao Lan asked him in a low voice.

"It's not cold." Lu chased for a while, and said, "Just hearing the wind, I feel that I should wrap myself tighter."

Xiao Lan smiled and rubbed the back of his finger against his profile: "I slept for a day, but now I am awake. The kitchen has been hot with chicken soup. Would you like to eat something?"

"I'm not hungry." Lu Zhui put his head on his chest and yawned lazily, more like talking to himself, "This season, Chaomu Cliff is full of wild jujubes, red, green and green. Sweet can go with wine, sour can beat people."

Xiao Lan wrapped his hand in his palm: "Do you miss the brothers again?"

"You said what's wrong with me," Lu Chai sighed frustrated. "The more unable to move, the more I want to go to many places." From west to east and from south to north, in these few days, he has almost become awkward. He has passed all the mountains and rivers in his mind. The peony in Luocheng is beautiful, the city of Songcheng is covered with snow, and the mountains of Shuibian State in Yangzhou. He found that there are still too many places that he has never visited or seen. The white gauze in front of me is like a thick wall, isolating the noisy and boiling world of blossoms on the other side, leaving only a cloud of clouds for myself, even if I desire it again, I will never see it through.

Xiao Lan hugged him tightly.

Lu Chai put his chin on his shoulder and said, "I slept for eight hours today."

Xiao Lan said, "I used to run around, eat, sleep and sleep, but now I just make up for it."

Hearing the hoarseness and exhaustion in his voice, Lu Chau smiled, fumbled and held his cheek, but comforted: "It's okay."

Xiao Lan held the thin hand and kissed her lips. Her eyes were covered with blood and her throat rolled, but she couldn't say a word. All sorts of pictures in the past ran through my head, it was sugar but also a knife, mixed with sweetness and tingling, poking a heart dripping with blood and mess.

"Go to the northwest." Lu Chai said.

Xiao Lan stabilized his emotions, and said with a smile: "It's clear to say that we are going together."

Lu Chai shook his head, wrapping his arms around his shoulders. He didn't know what Ye Jin had said, but he knew that his body was getting worse and worse. He slept for six hours yesterday and eight hours asleep today. After that, he might not wake up and fall asleep for a long time.

He has never been a pessimistic person, nor will he complain to God. He just feels that if he doesn't say something, he is afraid it will be too late. If this sick and weak body really can't hold on anymore, he wants Xiao Lan to go to the northwest, and wants him to find one thing to do, even if the fighting is cruel and fierce, it is better than just guarding the new grave alone and drenching his sorrows. Depressed.

"You promise me." He looked at Xiao Lan stubbornly in the darkness.

"Okay, I promise you to go to the northwest." Xiao Lan grabbed his hand and his voice was hoarse and inaudible. "You also promise me to get well and don't think about it."

Lu Chai raised his head slightly, his lips were dry and soft.

The fragrance of medicine filled the teeth, with a little bitterness, it was all Xiao Lan's memory of this kiss. The entanglement of the tongue was crazy and cautious, and the white gauze was scattered on the bed. Lu Zhui opened his eyes a little uneasy, and it was completely dark as expected.

Xiao Lan kissed the tide on his face inch by inch, and finally landed on the trembling eyelashes, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid."

Lu Chai buried his face on his chest, his fingers firmly holding the sheet.

A wisp of autumn wind rolled into the window, blowing out the bedside lamps, leaving only the indispensable darkness in the next room.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was a bit foggy, and the thick clouds covered the sun, and only a few weak rays of light appeared. It was dark in the room. Lu Chai was trapped in a pillow and slept soundly. Xiao Lan sat on the bedside and guarded him for a long time. He didn't stand up and walked outside until he heard Ye Jin talking in the courtyard, but stopped before leaving the house. He glanced back at the person lying on the bed.

"How is it?" Ye Jin asked when he came out.

"It's okay, I fell asleep." Xiao Lan said, "When will the diagnosis and treatment begin?"

Ye Jin said, "Everything is ready."

Xiao Lan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but quickly recovered, and turned sideways to clear the way, and said, "Then there will be the master of the valley."

Lu Wuming stepped forward, patted Xiao Lan's shoulder, entered the room and glanced at Lu Zhui. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, he also retreated and said to Ye Jin, "How long will it take?"

"One day." Ye Jin took the medicine packet from A Liu and looked at Xiao Lan again.

"I know." Xiao Lan said, "When Mingyu wakes up, I will leave for the northwest and will not see him."

"Are you going to the northwest?" Lu Wuming was surprised at first, but after another thought, this is also a good choice. At least he can have one business to do and take up his time and mind. It is better than staying this year. The secret place is withered every day.

"At most one year apart." Ye Jin comforted him, and then told him, "A year later, you will also come to Sun Moon Villa. I will take out all the remaining Gu worms for you."

Xiao Lan nodded: "I've written it down, thank you Gu Master."

"At that time, you can go to the son again." Yue Dadao put on a relaxed tone and smiled, "It's natural to think of it. If you can't remember, you can talk about love again. It's still an enviable period. Good marriage."

The others also laughed, barely making the atmosphere a little more relaxed, at least it didn't look like the gloomy clouds anymore. Ye Jin said, "Then I will go in."

Xiao Lan nodded, and said "work" but choked in his throat, sourness surged in the bottom of his eyes and in the bottom of his heart at the same time, and he clenched his fist to burst into blue veins, and barely suppressed his emotions.

Ye Jin had already entered the bedroom, Tao Yuer sighed, and said to Xiao Lan: "You're afraid that you haven't slept again all night, so let's take a rest."

Xiao Lan agreed, but didn't return to the room. She just sat under the corridor, guarding the closed wooden door and the people in the door.

After the clouds cleared, the sun gradually emerged. The kitchen smoked, and the servants brought the food, but no one wanted to eat it. Only Yue Dadao sent the porridge and small dishes to Ye Jin. He didn't dare to speak or watch, so he hurried out.

Xiao Lan felt that this was the longest day in his life, until he remembered all the past, from childhood to yesterday, what Lu Zhui said, what he did, what he likes to eat and what he likes to wear, The pieces are put together, which is a vivid and vivid past.

If one person forgets, there is always another person to remember. Xiao Lan leaned on the wooden pillar, thinking about what to tell him when the two met again in a year. It was the love of Mingyue Tomb for life, the hasty sword of the royal city, or this moment. This parting in the martial arts courtyard. He thought a lot, but he felt that no amount of it was enough. Even if it was Lu Zhui's smiling face and a complaint, he wanted to be deeply impressed in his memory, even if his seventies and eighties were gray-haired, they had to be as sharp as ever.

As the sun began to sink, Ye Jin took out the quilt for Lu Chase and let out a deep sigh. Too long of concentration made him a little dizzy. He leaned on the bed for a long time before he got up and went out.

"How?" Everyone surrounded them with "wow".

"Everything is going well." Ye Jin said, "I will wake up tomorrow at noon, but I am afraid it will take three or five months to recover."

"Thank you Gu Master." Lu Wuming breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his clenched hands, his palms covered with cold sweat.

"Senior, you don't have to be polite." Ye Jin said, "You may be a little confused when you wake up, your memory will disappear, and people will become anxious, but it's not a big deal, don't worry too much."

"What about Lan'er, do you want to avoid it from now on?" Tao Yuer asked.

Ye Jin said, "It's better to be so."

Xiao Lan nodded: "Okay."

"Then Master Gu, go and rest." Tao Yuer said, "I have cooked some chicken soup, so I will send it to the kitchen."

"Mrs. Youlao." Ye Jin rubbed her temples, "Then I'll go back first."

Seeing his tired expression, Ah Liu and Yue Dadao sent the people back to their residence, watching to leave after eating. Back to the small courtyard, Xiao Lan was still standing in the corridor, looking at the closed carved wooden window. Lu Wuming and Tao Yu'er stood under the tree, sighing inwardly, not knowing how to persuade them.

The stars gradually fell into the sky, and the wind was cool in the middle of the night. Yue Dadao accompanied Tao Yuer to go back to rest. Xiao Lan turned and said, "Senior, too. I will stay here one more night, and I will return to the Red Lotus Hall tomorrow."

"Pretend less things in your heart." Lu Wuming urged, "No more than a year."

Xiao Lan nodded: "I know."

"It's okay to go to the northwest, Mingyu has always wanted to go, this time you just happen to take a look for him." Lu Wuming said, "If you are tired, go back to sleep for a while, don't Mingyu is not well, you will endure yourself again. Coming out of illness."

Xiao Lan agreed and asked A Liu to send Lu Wuming back to his place of residence, but he did not enter the house. Even if Ye Jin said that Lu Chai would wake up tomorrow, he did not dare to take the risk, and he still leaned on the corridor and stayed with him. The sweetheart in the midst of a sleep, let the rustling autumn wind pass his ears, and stay on guard all night and morning. Ye Jin didn't turn around until noon the next day, but didn't go far. He sat on the roof in the distance, and continued to look at the blue-gray eaves. A small red jade flower in his palm had been rubbed to the point of being hot. Heartburn.

Ye Jin slowly rotated a silver needle with his finger, pulled it out of Lu Chai's brain, and placed it in a tray on the side. The rest of the people stood in the room, almost holding their breath, Yue Dadao was anxious and did not dare to ask, so he could only stand tiptoe into the bed tent, thinking why the son hadn't opened his eyes.

In front of him was a vast expanse of snow, covering the sky and the earth like a quilt, dazzling light reflected by the sunlight, illuminating people's hearts empty. Lu Zhui felt that he didn't like it very much, so he quickened his pace and wanted to walk through the snowy field as soon as possible, looking for some other color, even the bare black rock is better than this big white.

Perhaps because he was walking a little hurriedly, he staggered under his feet and rushed forward. He yelled in a hurry, but forgot whose name it was, and he suddenly sat up from the bed, his chest undulating violently, and sweat oozing from his back.

"Mingyu." Lu Wuming sat on the side of the bed anxiously, "How are you?"

Lu Chai frowned, as if he hadn't recovered from the nightmare. He wanted to open his eyes to see, but soon found that it seemed to be futile. There was black everywhere, that was the opposite color of the dream.

"It's okay." Lu Wuming patted his hand, "Don't be afraid."

There was a noise in his ears, and Lu Zhui buried his face in his knees, and it took him a long time to relax. The voice that came was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was. He felt as if thousands of claws were born in his heart. Each one wanted to dive into the depths of his memory and grab the owner of that voice, but each one was In vain, only a tingling itch was left.

It was really uncomfortable. He stepped back anxiously, shivering all over his body, and then took a deep breath, trying to alleviate the uneasy feeling.

"Mingyu?" Lu Wuming motioned to everyone to silence, and continued, "Don't be afraid, it's Dad who is with you."

Lu Zhui still didn't speak, he couldn't remember, he couldn't remember anything.

"You broke your head. The doctor said you might lose your memory." Lu Wuming looked at his face and said carefully, "It doesn't matter if you remember, calm down first, don't worry."

"I... amnesia?" Lu Chai raised his hand to rub his eyes, but was held by his wrist. Lu Wuming continued: "It's not just amnesia, but the eyes are also injured. The doctor said it will take three to five months to restore vision."

Lu Chai was a little dazed. He broke his head and became a blind man. This was incredible. He opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know what to say. Some people have things like fine sand, clearly floating in their minds, but when they reach out to fish, their palms are always empty.

Irritability and restlessness swept through his mind again. Lu Chai instinctively wanted to retreat, but he felt that the people around him seemed to be extremely concerned about him, so he sat without moving, and just continued to stare blankly at the darkness in front of him.

"It's okay, I'll remember it later." A Liu interrupted.

The voice was also familiar, Lu Zhui tentatively said, "Are you?"

"Me?" Ah Liu quickly said, "Father, I, Ah Liu, is your son."

Lu Zhui: "..."

"Oh!" Yue Dadao pinched him, what son, you are not afraid to scare the son.

"Son?" Lu Chai was a little puzzled, cast his distracted eyes in Lu Wuming's direction, as if waiting for him to explain.

"A Liu previously occupied the mountain as the king. When you go to suppress the bandits, you will make a bet with him. Whoever loses will be your son." Lu Wuming said, "Later you won."

A Liu laughed and said, "Father."

Lu Zhui also laughed: "That's it?"

"That's it, yes, there is also Miss Yue, she is my daughter-in-law who has never been through." A Liu said again.

"The son." Yue Dadao stepped forward, "When your eyes are better, you will know that Ah Liu is much stronger than you, and he doesn't look like a half son."

Listening to her clear and delicate voice, smiling, Lu Zhui's originally troubled heart gradually calmed down, and asked, "Why did I break my head?"

"I was not careful during the martial arts competition." Lu Wuming sighed, "It's also a bad father. He shot too hard and beat you like this."

This reason. Lu Chai stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, as if trying to find some memories from it.

...

Tao Yu'er jumped on the roof and sat beside Xiao Lan, "Mingyu should be awake now."

"Mother, don't you go and have a look?" Xiao Lan asked.

"I'll look at it later." Tao Yuer said, "You stay here alone. If your mother doesn't accompany you, you can point to others to accompany you."

"I'm fine." Xiao Lan smiled reluctantly, "It's fine if Mingyu wakes up."

"It's only a year, it's gone in the blink of an eye." Tao Yuer said, "Really going to the northwest?"

"Yeah." Xiao Lan said, "I agreed with Mingyu earlier. He wants me to go, and I want to go too." Not to mention the family and the world, at least it can make time pass faster.

"It's fine if you decide." Tao Yu'er said, "You have been with Mingyu these few days. I haven't had time to say that the treasure of the Mingyue Tomb should be shipped out in ten days, but the army of the court is temporarily Will not withdraw yet."

"Why?" Xiao Lan puzzled.

"The meaning of the Lord Ye Gu is also the meaning of the emperor." Tao Yuer said, "Even though Jinshan Yinshan was emptied, only one of the main halls was entered, and the main tomb was not even visible. Lu Wuming was selfish and knew Mingyu. I like the history hidden in the tomb, and want him to open the tomb with his own hands in the future, so he decided to temporarily seal the tomb of Mingyue."

"Senior Lu was worried that people in the rivers and lakes would come to make trouble, so he discussed with Lord Ye Gu and left the court army?" Xiao Lan speculated.

"This business is not a loss to the court, not to mention that it is a year of staying, even three and five years are worthwhile." Tao Yuer said, "not to mention the moved out, those still hidden in the tomb will also be sent to the future. The Treasury, I want to say that even if the Lu family does not ask, I am afraid that the emperor will send people to guard Fuhunling."

Xiao Lan nodded: "That's also good."

"So you just relax, come back a year later and go with Mingyu to open the real Mingyue Tomb." Tao Yuer said, "If the Northwest hasn't finished the battle by then, you can take him back and let him fight. If you want to chant poems or drink, you can believe that Ma Youyan is truly invigorating."

Xiao Lan smiled: "Thank you, mother."

"Stupid son." Tao Yuer sighed, holding his hand. "It's okay to have some bitterness now, it will be sweeter in the future, understand?"

Xiao Lan said, "Yes."

He is really not afraid of hardship, as long as the person he likes can be safe from then on, no matter how hard it is, he will be content.

After another five days, Lu Chai's mood has gradually calmed down, and he has adapted to the darkness in front of him and the snow in his head. He wakes up and goes to bed early every day, sitting in the courtyard with the sun, blowing and raining, and he is nestled in the quilt. He listens to the people around him talking about the past, talking about the cliffs of the mountains and seas, talking about the matchmaker who stepped on the threshold in the royal city. , Talking about the many disputes in the rivers and lakes, it is often late at night before hearing enough.

When the time is up, you must sleep, otherwise there will be a genius doctor coming to the door, which is very fierce, like everyone is afraid of him.

"Blue-faced fangs?" Lu Chai asked secretly.

"What? Lord Ye Gu is so delicate and white." Yue Dadao couldn't laugh or cry, so he covered him with a quilt, "Go to sleep."

Lu Zhui agreed and went to sleep with deep doubts.

Xiao Lan would come to see him at the window every night, separated by the bed net, with only a vague outline, but even so, as long as he thinks that Lu Zhui's body is getting better and better, he is equally relieved and satisfied.

A month later, Ye Jin packed up and prepared to return to Riyue Villa. Lu Wuming originally wanted to take Lu Chase with him, and buy a small house in Chiba City to continue recuperating, or to be closer to the genius doctor, but Lu Chai was a little bit reluctant to Yangzhi City—somehow, he always felt that this place was right. For myself, it seems that it should be very important, even if I can't remember it, I still don't want to leave.

"It's okay." Ye Jin said, "I have all the prescriptions ready. Just press the decoction. Wherever the second master likes, let him stay."

"Alright." Lu Wuming said, "This time my father and son really owe a lot to the owner of the valley."

"Why should the family see outsiders like this?" Ye Jin said, "Besides, the court first fought the East China Sea a few years ago. Now the South China Sea is not stable. Thanks to this batch of gold and silver entering the treasury, it's not me. Even the emperor should face the Lu family. Say thanks."

Lu Wuming said, "After Mingyu recovers, I will take him to Riyue Villa in person to thank him."

Ye Jin nodded: "Then I must prepare a good wine, and wait for Hero Lu and the second master."

Lu Chai leaned against the soft couch under the tree, listening to the rustle of falling leaves, one piece, two pieces, three pieces, four pieces.

Then one foot stomped heavily, and the dead leaf that was stepped on shattered.

Lu Zhui flicked a pine nut with his hand: "Make trouble."

"What is causing trouble?" A Liu helped him to sit up: "Father, it's time to eat."

Lu asked: "Who did you see on the way here?"

"People? Maids, servants, mothers, they are all people." Ah Liu stuffed the spoon into his hand.

"I mean, master." Lu Chai said, "I always feel like someone is staring at this small courtyard recently."

A Liu paused, and said, "Yes, the nursing home is newly hired."

"Really nursing home?" Lu Chai wondered, "How do I feel that he doesn't want to be discovered by me? Every time I wake up in the middle of the night, he will immediately walk away."

"The nursing homes here are like this." A Liu feeds him chicken legs.

"Really?" Lu Zhui still didn't believe it.

Ah Liu agreed and switched the topic to another place. He just pulled Lu Chai and discussed it for a long time. When returning to Muya for a happy event in the future, should the silk and satin be covered with the mountains, or should the streets of the vast city be covered with red cloth.

Lu Chai had no interest at all, and yawned: "You are really extravagant to marry a wife, Chao Muya has a strong family background?"

"Thick." A Liu watched him finish his last mouthful of porridge and rice, and then stuffed a glass of water. After rinsing his mouth, he walked around the courtyard twice for digestion, and finally spread out the bed and stuffed people in. A thunderous nap.

Lu Zhui felt that his idle and corrupt days were comparable to the landlord's old wealth. On the side, Ah Liu was worried. After watching him fall asleep, Sa Yazi went all the way to the opposite house, climbed up the roof and said, "My father seems to have found you?"

Xiao Lan was surprised: "What?"

"I didn't think of you." A Liu quickly explained, "I just noticed that someone is always staring at him, and asked who I am. I said it was the nursing home, which was just a fool."

Xiao Lan: "..."

"I said it a long time ago, Mingyu is clever and clever, and martial arts is high. Now I can't see it, and my hearing will only be more acute." Tao Yuer said, "If you don't listen, you have to be with you every night."

Xiao Lan was silent, and after a moment, said, "I'll go to the royal city."

Tao Yuer said: "Did you think about it?"

"Think about it." Xiao Lan said, "Mingyu is getting better day by day. Maybe I'll see it anytime, so it's time for me to leave."

"It's good." Tao Yuer said, "Find something else to do, so that you can have less thoughts." Otherwise, you will stay on the roof every day, and sooner or later you will have trouble.

After Lu Wuming heard about it, he made a special trip to find him in the evening carrying a jug of wine. The two of them sat in the pavilion, drank big bowls, and drank a lot of fun.

Yang Qingfeng first went to the King City as early as one month ago, and Kongkong was obsessed with the organs and secret passages of the Mingyue Tomb. He stayed in the dark place and refused to come out. He even scratched every inch of the mural for a long time, saying yes. We must guard the treasure house for Xiao Lan, and after he finishes hitting the northwest, we will demolish the tomb. Tao Yuer stayed in Yangzhi City, first to take care of Lu Zhui, and secondly to be accompanied by Yue Dadao, so he was not lonely.

Before leaving, Xiao Lan looked at Lu Chai from a distance. The withered yellow autumn leaves were falling down. The person under the tree was dressed in white. Although his eyes were covered with light gauze, his hands could still touch the gurgling rhythm on the strings. The sound was far away. And magnificent, like an endless desert, the blue sky is high and refreshing.

The autumn breeze rolled up the yellow sand and cast a mist of sight, making the eyes sour. Xiao Lan turned his horse's head and waved his whip, like a sharp arrow from the string, through the long empty street and the towering city gate. The horse galloped all the way, and the city of Yangzhi behind him was getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely to the horizon, but the sound of the piano did not dissipate for a long time. In the countless days and nights in the future, it was around my ears and my heart.

"Is the nursing home gone?" Lu Chai listened, and asked again.

A Liudao: "Go."

Lu Chai smiled, did not speak any more, and reappeared a faint piano sound, but this time it was no longer lofty and majestic, but graceful and soft, like a Jiangnan March flying willow, with tender green leaves, and the sky. Of floc.

The further north, the colder the weather. By the time Xiao Lan arrived in Wangcheng, the trees on both sides were bare. The little dolls also put on cotton-padded jackets and held the copper plates to stand in front of the stall, waiting to buy roasted sweet potatoes to eat.

At the time of dinner, the best restaurant in town has the best business. The three characters of Shanhaiju are dancing with dragons and phoenixes, and red lanterns are hung on both sides, shining a beam of warm light.

"The guest officer." Seeing him standing at the door, Xiao Er said with a big smile, "Is it going to eat?"

Xiao Lan nodded: "Is there a place?"

"Yes, yes." Xiao Er took the horse from him and led people to the window on the second floor. "The guests are from outside, right? Would you like to try the restaurant's signature dishes?"

"Ginkgo stewed chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, and golden sand yam." Xiao Lan said, "Fry some more vegetables and add some sausage."

Hearing his ordering so skillfully, Xiao Er was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he nodded quickly and jogged all the way holding the dish, but did not enter the kitchen. Instead, he slipped into the second-floor seat, "Big master, big master. !"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yue put down his chopsticks.

"I came here, and the dishes I ordered are what the second master likes to eat, and it's not bad." Xiao Er asked, "Is it a regular customer?"

Wen Liunian dropped the roast duck when he heard the words, pulled a towel and wiped his mouth, and asked: "But he is handsome and tall, with a black iron whip hanging from his waist?"

Xiao Er nodded quickly.

Zhao Yue said, "Xiao Lan is here?"

"It's almost time to come." Wen Liunian rolled his sleeves down, making him look gentle. Earlier, after hearing about Lu Zhui’s situation, he and Zhao Yue had originally planned to go to Yangzhi City to pick up people, but Yang Qingfeng said that Xiao Lan would come to Wangcheng soon, so they had to stay again. First, there was a caregiver, and secondly. It was convenient to take him to see the emperor. After waiting for so long, he was waiting for him.
