Chapter 435 Left and right
When Lu Ren and Mi Zhen finished discussing things and returned to the room, it was already the second watch. When he returned to the room, he saw that the lights were on in the room, and as soon as he saw the food on the table in the room, Cai Yan had already woken up and was sitting quietly at the table waiting for Lu Ren to come back.
Seeing this situation, Lu Ren also subconsciously touched his stomach, feeling that he was really hungry. In fact, he arrived in Xuchang City in the afternoon, and when he reported to Xun Yu, he ate casually with Xun Yu, and he never ate anything after that, and of course he felt hungry when he arrived at the second watch.
Looking at Cai Yan's appearance again, it is obvious that Cai Yan has not eaten yet, and is just waiting for Lu Ren to come back, which makes Lu Ren feel a little unhappy in his heart. walked into the room with his head down, sat down opposite Cai Yan, and smiled awkwardly at Cai Yan: "Why are you waiting for me like this?" Do you want to lose weight by skipping meals? But your figure is already very slim, and if you lose it, you will become a rib essence. ”
Cai Yan looked up at Lu Ren, smiled and responded, "How long has it been since you made such a joke with me?" I remember hearing this kind of joke from you before, it always made me think that you are such a frivolous and annoying person. But time has passed, and I hope you can play some jokes like this with me from time to time, as you did at the beginning. ”
Lu Ren smiled lightly, took a bowl of rice and handed it to Cai Yan first, and then raised his chopsticks to eat another bowl. In this way, the two of them silently ate a few bites of rice, Cai Yan lowered his head, the bamboo chopsticks in his hand gently pulled out the rice grains in the bowl for a while, and suddenly looked up and said to Lu Ren: "Tomorrow morning...... Would you like to prepare some flowers? ”
“…… Well, I'm sorry for you. ”
At that time, there were no sacrifices such as paper money, and even if there were, Lu Ren didn't like those things that choked people. In contrast, Lu Ren still prefers to put a bouquet of flowers in front of Wan'er's grave...... Although Wan'er's grave is just a mound of clothes.
Cai Yan sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Sister Wan has been dead for a year, but you are still like this." ”
Lu Ren put a piece of chopsticks rice into his mouth and chewed it for a long time before swallowing it. The same whisper responded, "I don't know." Once upon a time, I thought I was a very heartless bastard who only had carnal desires and no feelings for girls. Even after Wan'er passed away, I often asked myself in my heart what the hell are you doing now? But when you really want to throw away these things and stop paying attention to them, you will feel empty in your heart, and you don't know what you should do. ”
Cai Yan looked at Lu Ren, and deep down she didn't know how much she wanted to say something, but her reason was clearly warning her that those words must not be said to Lu Ren, so she could only reluctantly suppress those words back to the bottom of her heart, and secretly lamented in her heart: "Sister Wan, do you know what a big problem you left me?" Do you know how much I envy you? I'm not you! You can easily persuade him to let go of the grudge in his heart. But I always felt how powerless I was in front of him. ”
Lu Ren noticed Cai Yan's distraction, so he asked curiously, "Wen Ji, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Ah, no, nothing." Cai Yan hurriedly responded, and hurriedly found another topic: "I, I'm just worried about you." Anyway, I'm your wife after all, I'm afraid you'll have some accidents......"
Lu Ren waved his hand: "Don't worry too much. It's always a bit of an accident, but I seem to have been born with a big fate. I was forced to be like that by the little overlord Sun Ce in Xuzhou before, I'm not the same okay? In turn, he also injured Sun Ce. If I hadn't had to let Sun Ce go because of my many concerns, Sun Ce might have died at my hands. ”
Cai Yan said: "It's good to have a heart. No matter if you don't have it, there is no grudge in the world that can't be resolved. Yoshiho, are you ......?"
Lu Ren raised his hand to stop Cai Yan's words, and looked up to the sky and sighed, "Don't say it." There are many things that cannot be compared. I remember that I also told you that Wan'er's revenge will not be avenged for the time being, but if I don't do it, it will become a demon that I regret for the rest of my life. It's likely that I'll never have peace of mind for the rest of my life. I'm just a mortal, don't think of me as a sage. As for the ...... between me and Sun Ce It's that he hates me, and it's not that I hate him. He wouldn't want to seek revenge on me. That would be a strange thing. At this point, isn't he and I about the same? ”
Cai Yan sighed again, and he didn't know what else he could say to Lu Ren at this time. It wasn't until a bowl of rice was eaten like chewing that Cai Yan put down the dishes and chopsticks and was silent for a long time, then suddenly turned behind Lu Ren and hugged Lu Ren's waist, his face was also on Lu Ren's back, and asked in a low voice: "Yihao, don't blame me for being selfish, after all, I am just an ordinary woman." I really want to ask you now, if one day Wanmei's great revenge can be avenged, but you have to ignore me in order to avenge this revenge, will you resolutely avenge Wanmei, or will you ......"
“…… I'm going to do everything I can to keep that from happening. Even though I can't take you or anyone else with me when I leave, I really don't want to see you follow in Wan'er's footsteps. Maybe when that happens, I want to be a living person, not someone to sacrifice for revenge. Besides, if I really did that, I would just settle an old grudge at the cost of a new hatred and regret. ”
"I hope so...... It's just that with your heart and temper, when the time really comes, can you face it as calmly as you do now? ”
"Bunhime ......"
"Don't move, let me lean on like this. You should understand that no matter what kind of talent and knowledge I have in the eyes of the world, or how extraordinary I am, in the end, I am just a woman, a woman who needs to have a broad shoulder to lean on......"
Lu Ren didn't speak, nor did he move, just let Cai Yan lean against his back like this. In a sense, Lu Ren may know Cai Yan's mentality better than anyone else in this era, but Lu Ren doesn't know that Cai Yan is also in desperation, trying to reduce some of the resentment in Lu Ren's heart in other ways.
————————————————————
The next day, Lu Ren took a basket of flowers from Cai Yan's hand, and without calling anyone, he rode alone to Wan'er's tomb.
Maybe only Lu Ren himself knows that Wan'er is not buried here, Wan'er's tomb is called a well-dressed tomb to put it mildly, and it is a fake tomb to put it mildly, but no matter what, people always need to have a place to put their hearts and minds.
After placing the flowers in front of the tomb, Lu Ren sat down in front of the tomb. I didn't think about anything in my head, let alone say anything, I just sat here quietly, and my mood became extraordinarily calm. After a long time, Lu Ren suddenly smiled a little bitterly, took out the bamboo flute from his waist with his backhand, and whispered to himself: "I haven't played music with you for a long time......"
tried the flute and started the sound, but it was the song "Wish" that was played. I still remember when I taught Wan'er to sing, because the sadness of "Fairy Sword Love" was too strong, Lu Ren deliberately taught Wan'er this song "Wish", and even jokingly said that this song "Wish", which has a bit of warmth, was used as Wan'er's personal theme song. It's just that Lu Ren didn't expect that Wan'er would really "why Qianying has become smoke" later.
Compared with "Fairy Sword Love", "Wish" is not so sad, but more of a peace in lovesickness, so Lu Ren has no sadness in his heart when he plays, but what flows out of the rhythm is a calm.
At the end of the first song, when it was blown again the second time, a soft singing voice sang softly in front of Wan'er's grave with the music of this time. Although this singing voice made Lu Ren slightly stunned, his hands did not pause because of this, and he didn't even open his eyes, because he knew that it was Lu Lan as soon as he heard this voice.
“…… I'd rather / a drunk / vaguely laugh and see you in a dream; The fate is not over/The flowers are not gone/As if the past is in front of us; Love has no regrets/Love has no complaints/Why does Qianying become smoke; The bonds of this life are still in my heart/lingering ......"
After the song stopped, Lu Ren turned around and looked at Lu Lan and asked, "Xiaolan, why are you here?" ”
Lu Lan didn't respond immediately, but took a few steps forward and put the freshly picked flowers in her hand in front of Wan'er's tomb, and then turned back to Lu Ren and said, "It's not just adults that you miss Sister Wan'er...... Adult, Xiaolan is a wild girl, and she has no father or mother since she was a child, so Sister Wan'er is closer to Xiaolan than her own sister. ”
Lu Ren shook his head lightly, subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to pat Lu Lan's forehead, but he took it back after lifting half of it, and then laughed at himself: "It's not the little girl she was a few years ago, and now you can't touch it!" You little girl is really fast enough, I remember that when Wan'er and I just took in the three of you, you were only nine or ten years old, and you were not even my chest. A few years have passed, and now you are a girl, and you are almost as big as me. ”
Lu Ren's height is 171, and the Yihan ruler is a standard "seven feet" height, which is also a relatively standard height for Chinese men in modern times. And Xiao Lu Lan is now standing with Lu Ren, the eyebrow line is still one line higher than the tip of Lu Ren's nose, and Lu Lan's current height must be at least 165, which can be regarded as relatively tall in modern times. And Lu Lan is only fifteen this year, at most sixteen years old, and she still has a long age. In this regard, Lu Ren also maliciously thought that if this little girl was brought to modern society, she would be the embryo of a supermodel.
Of course, Lu Ren didn't have the heart to think about these things now, but smiled at Lu Lan and looked at the empty tomb again. Lu Lan watched Lu Ren take that hand back, and really wanted to reach over and grab that hand and put it on his chest, so that the bastard on the other side could feel his heartbeat, but Lu Lan couldn't do such a thing after all.
Turning her head to look at Wan'er's tomb again, Lu Lan knelt down gently, and although her words were soft, she could be heard by the people next to her:
"Sister Wan'er, Xiaolan has come to see you...... Sister Wan'er, don't worry, although you are gone, Xiaolan will definitely take care of the adult's ...... on behalf of Sister Wan'er" (to be continued......)
