Chapter 7: The Tree Cave
Jing Lingyu's heart was in a hurry. Lift your breath and chase quickly. When you get closer, you suddenly see a light in front of you.
But see that the sparse forest is gone. The snow is white. The cold moon is in the sky. Ditch in front. Just in the middle of the black col across an official road. She glanced at both sides. I saw a dark blue rushing south along the road. The stars shone in the distance. The water sinks in the night.
She couldn't help but be stunned. Xin said: "Isn't that the Jingshi over there?" "Don't think about it. Lift up and chase after you.
Liao Gushi increased the speed to 10%. Sneaking back into the capital is another rush. Looking back, Jing Lingyu's figure loomed in the darkness far away. He still shook her off.
At this time, the markets on both sides of the market are resting early. Closed doors. The casinos and brothels that are still in business are all in business. There are very few liaoliao. As he ran, he suddenly felt a red light dazzling in the oblique thorn. Take a look. A flower building towers in front. The building is divided into three floors. There are lights on the first and second floors. There are few houses on the third floor. But it was darkness. Liao Gushi slapped his hand on a wall that passed by. Snow poured from between the tiles like mist. He sped along. Then one of them twisted and tiptoed forward. Borrowing inertia hands and feet, and using the red pillar to climb up the verandah on the second floor of the flower building.
This verandah connects more than a dozen rooms. Inside the piano music and songs. The shadow of the window is shaking. The cheers continued. He didn't dare to lurk here. Cover yourself with railings. The silent cat scurried a few steps. Estimated to the middle. Leap up and hold the eaves with one hand. Shake it up. Climb up to the third floor. Dial the door and roll in.
Liao Gushi covered the door. Look out through the crack in the door. Jing Lingyu had already chased downstairs. The footprints were found to be covered in snow. I stop up and down to observe. Quartet sweeping. There was a lot of suspicion in his eyes. Obviously, I'm not sure where I'm going.
He turned and leaned his back against the door. Exhale slightly.
There was very little light in the room in front of me. It can be seen that it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside. Separated by a flower stand of old objects. Not very spacious. But it's exquisite. There is a thick carpet underground. Soft on the pedal. On the left side of the outer room stands a solid wood bookshelf. There is a six-fold ladies viewing screen at the back. Hidden on both sides of the iron crane candlesticks separated. The lampshade is dark red. And it didn't light up. In the inner room, a round table is half exposed. There are wine jugs and cups on it. Several charcoal stoves are placed in the corners. A faint red light is reflected between the carved spaces. It exudes a warm fragrance with a sweet fragrance.
There was a soft crunch. A woman's voice on the bed in the back room said, "Hey." How did it come again. said that the old lady was not feeling well. The four of you can handle it. Don't bother me. Liao Gushi didn't expect that there were still people in the house. It sounds like a prostitute is playing a tantrum. coughed lightly and soothed: "Xiaosheng...... I have admired the girl for a long time. It's just a matter of sitting for a while. To soothe the thirst and thoughts. You don't need a girl to serve you. The woman's voice was a man's voice. It doesn't feel right. Slammed the quilt and sat up. The word "who" has not yet been shouted out of his mouth. Liao Gushi rushed to the ground. Cover her mouth with one hand and roll around. Pressed her back onto the couch and pressed her underneath. Cover the quilt. "Don't shout." I'm not a bad person. β
The two were very close. The woman took advantage of the faint red light of the charcoal stove next to her. I saw that his big eyes were clear. Delicate and handsome. It seems that he has forgotten his fear. Endeavor nodded. Liao Gushi saw that she did not resist. He slowly let go of the hand covering her mouth and nose. The woman chuckled. In reverse, he was closer. "Yo." Not a bad guy. but crushed people under him. You're really at odds with each other. β
Smell the strong smell of alcohol in her mouth. Liao Gushi was a little disgusted. I want to avoid it a little. was softly surrounded by the other party's jade arm. Feel two soft palms slip into the closet. Rub it on the back. It brings a kind of warm water to moisten the body.
The woman realized his rustiness with the limbs of the opposite sex. Eat and smile. Drunk and naΓ―ve.
Liao Gushi realized that this should not be the case. Stand up. The lower body is taught to wrap a white leg in the morning. was overturned by this woman. Counterpressure under the body. Haven't reacted yet. There was already a pair of soft red pressed on. Suddenly the lips are soft. Moist and sweet.
"Liao Gushi. You come out for me. β
From downstairs came the shouts of Jing Lingyu.
"The footprints on the ground are covered. You can also cover the wall. Do you think I won't dare go in and arrest you when I enter the brothel? β
The flower building was noisy. A lot of people open their windows and look out. Talk. Liao Gushi's breathing tightened. Immediately caught by the woman. She looked up slightly. smiled contemptuously: "I'm looking for you." It turned out to be hiding from your little lover. What else do you say that you have admired me for a long time. When you tell a lie, your face is not red and your heart is not beating. How. Did the two of them quarrel? β
She looked up and was still relaxed. The red profane garment is like a cloud in its circle. Pressed down and soft. It's not heavy. Liao Gushi only felt that his eyes were snow-white and dizzy. There were two warm fires burning against the flesh on his chest. It's not blazing. But it made my heart itch and unbearable. He turned his head sideways. The voice almost groaned, "We're not. . . "Halfway through. I didn't bother to explain it again. He shut up.
"Huh. The woman shook her head slightly. Hair rises and falls. Stroked Liao Gushi's face. A Suhe aroma is fragrant and breathtaking. He smiled faintly, "Yes." Not a lover. It's a cousin, an aunt, a good sister, and a goddaughter. Hehe. The old lady has never seen anything. He loves to do bad things and is unwilling to take responsibility. You men. It's not all the same. β
She spoke. One side of the finger walked down Liao Gushi's neck. Wrote the word "bad". Eat and chuckle.
The shouting and scolding outside gradually stopped. Be quiet for a while. I only heard Jing Lingyu cry: "Cousin." Are you good to come out. I'm not going to you off anymore. I don't want anything. I don't see my dad anymore. I don't see Xiaoqing anymore. I listen to you for everything. Let's find a place to live in peace. You practice swords. I'll cook you for the rest of your life. Good no good. The voice was mournful. Mixed with sobbing. It sounds very hearty.
"It turned out to be a little nymphomaniac. β
"There was no hair on the edge of the hat. Seems to be a bald nun. β
"The nuns are like that. There is really no salvation in this world. β
Bursts of laughter came from under the windows.
Liao Gushi's body stiffened. Biting your lower lip and not moving. The woman listened with bitterness. Bury your head in his chest. Yu Yu sighed: "You still ignore her." Everyone has a face. That's what she said. It can be seen that it is sincere. Alas. We do women's. I don't know what iniquity I have done. I will suffer from the emotional wounds of this world. Suddenly, the man's voice shouted and cursed outside. Then came the sound of fighting. She looked up sharply and said, "Ahh Oh no. The steward must have sent someone to bombard her. It's up. You don't go check it out yet. β
Liao Gushi closed his eyes: "She has martial arts." No one could hurt her. The woman looked at him with disgust and said, "It's only a woman who can fight." You're so relieved. Seeing that he was silent. His gaze gradually softened. "You're so ruthless......," she said, leaning her face down. His fingers drew circles on Liao Gushi's chest. Sneered. "But I know." You do. I don't hate her very much. In fact, I love her very much. β
Liao Gushi said: "Nonsense." What do you know. β
"Of course I do. β
The woman rolled her eyes disdainfully. Added: "Because I'm a **." β
She said this lightly. But Liao Gushi was sad for a while. Look away. Seeing that her expression was peaceful. The drunken and loose gaze seemed to look through the wall and across the house into the boundless distance. I can't help but feel a pain in my heart. Turn your face away. Reach out and pull the quilt up slightly. Cover her shoulders.
The woman did not speak. Just rubbed her face against his chest like a cat. The hug tightened a little tighter.
See her like this. Liao Gushi's heart was chaotic again. I really don't know if I should have covered the quilt just now. The sound of fighting outside became more and more intense. The shouting continues. He couldn't help but lean slightly sideways. Listen quietly. Jing Lingyu was angry in his heart. The shot is naturally ruthless. Outside, the sound of men crying for help and wailing was mostly heard. The footsteps are heavy and hectic. It seems that someone else is carrying the wounded.
The woman peeked in. I saw that his eyes were clearly full of concern, uneasiness and hesitation. For a while, my heart warmed. There was a faint envy and smile on his face. Suddenly, he looked up. Shouted, "Your cousin is here." β
The sound came suddenly. Liao Gushi was shocked. It's too late to stop it.
The woman shook her jaw. Shu Mei smiled: "The old lady is happy." What do you think. The words did not fall. The door slammed open. Liao Gushi's body turned over. At the same time, he stretched out his finger and pressed it on the dumb point of her neck. Crush her underneath.
The sound of the hunting wind in the clothes at the door stopped suddenly. A fire burst onto the ground. Brighten up the room. Jing Lingyu's eyes swept around. The sight in her eyes suddenly exploded in her lungs.
Under the brocade quilt embroidered with auspicious clouds and flying cranes. It's a pair of red lips that are hard to distinguish from each other. My cousin was drunk. It's like sipping a ripe fruit. I didn't even notice my arrival.
She trembled her fingers and said, "You." What are you doing. "When I spoke, I felt a constant roar in my ear drums. His own voice turned out to be a reverberation mixed with countless noises.
Liao Gushi slowly raised his head. Staring into the eyes of the woman below him. Stretch out your fingers to gently wipe away the lipstick from the corners of her mouth. said lightly: "In the brothel, it is naturally **." Otherwise, what else should I do? β
"Branch. β
The door frame was leaned against with a muffled thud. Jing Lingyu's breathing stopped. A heart is frozen in pieces. Smashed in the chest countless times.
"Smack. β
The door was slammed shut. Darkness fills the room deeply. "Pedaling, pedaling", the footsteps staggered several times. It's gone.
Liao Gushi sat up, his eyes were fascinated. I vaguely felt that something was crumbling in my heart. In the fall. Something suddenly came to mind. Reach out and put her arms around the woman's neck. Gently press it.
The woman took a deep breath. Crawl up with a bone. Rubbing his neck, he said, "I can't see it." You're good at acting. β
Liao Gushi said: "Put on your clothes." β
The woman smiled: "You are considerate." Are you afraid I'll freeze? β
Liao Gushi lost his mind and didn't answer. The woman smiled again: "Yes." Know. You think I'm indecent. It's a pity that my sister is in my own room. Treat as you like. You can't take care of it. Old Master Kong also said, 'You can't sleep on a corpse.' 'Resident'. He was bare in his yard in the sun. Do you want to take care of it? β
I think of an old man with a white beard basking in the sun naked. Liao Gushi felt funny. "What he means is that you don't have to be as dignified at home as you are at home. But you can't just ...... Like you say. β
The woman said, "That's not much worse." Hee-hee. I didn't expect you to be a little Taoist. "Look at him. Wrap the brocade quilt around you. Stretch out your fingers and gently swipe the corners of your lips. It seems to have an infinite aftertaste. He smiled lightly: "Have you kissed her like this before?" β
Someone on the verandah went upstairs with a lantern. The pace is staggered. A figure appeared on the window paper: "Water girl." That crazy nun didn't hurt you just now. The woman lazily said, "She ran away." I'm fine. The figure said, "Girl." I heard you shout just now. We ......"
A shoe "snapped" against the window frame. The figure was startled. The woman said, "It's not annoying." Stop arguing. I slept. β
The man made amends. The answer went. After a while. The sound faded away. Everything is calm again.
Liao Gushi said: "Your surname is Shui." β
The woman laughed, "yes." I am**. **Waterborne. That's why I'm just going to be water. β
Liao Gushi's eyes were gloomy: "You don't need to despise yourself like this." You just did something bad with good intentions. Always with good intentions. The woman looked at him. There is a sense of sympathy for each other in his eyes. Stretch the horns and open arms like wings. Wrap your neck around him and embrace him. Sticking to his ear, he whispered, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing." β
Nishiki is pressed. Jade people are warm. This ear grinding concern. Liao Gushi suddenly remembered that since he left the alliance. Countless cold nights behind the fires in the wilderness. The corners of his eyes sparkled slightly.
Come. Mother's ......
γγ It's been a long time since I've seen this warm and intimate feeling.
Why people close to them tend to be estranged? Caring people always meet in Pingshui.
The woman stretched out her finger and scratched his face. Laughing: "It turns out that you are a crybaby." β
Liao Gushi was a little dazed: "Yes." But no one who knows me knows. Because when I cried. Always hiding in a place where no one can see it. The woman smiled: "But this time I saw it." β
Liao Gushi was silent.
The woman did not adapt to his indifference. He said angrily: "Why do you have a cold face?" A burst of laughter like a flower. For a while, it was like a grinding disc. Ugly to death. Do you have a lot of unhappy things? β
Liao Gushi felt a sudden itch on his face. Reached out and wiped it. Touching a strange wetness between my fingers.
He rubbed his three fingers lightly. The gaze fell on his fingers. Gradually penetrated again: "Actually." In everyone's heart. There are a lot of unhappy things. β
The corners of the woman's mouth twitched slightly. Slightly sympathetic: "Hmm. That's right. Lay's always goes too fast. That's why it's called happiness. It's sad because you can't get over it. Remember to take a long time. But. Think about those sad things every day. It's too tired to live. Giggle. What about people. The most important thing is to be worthy of yourself. There is wine today, and there is drunkenness today. I didn't redeem it again tomorrow. So be a happy person. Do**. Be more happy. You say yes or no. Her chin rested on Liao Gushi's shoulder. A smile on his face. Innocence is limitless.
Liao Gushi looked at her sideways. Eyes facing each other. It seems to have seen the flash of the rising sun in the light of the rising sun. In an instant, there was a slight pain between the pupils. But the heart is bright.
"I don't have you as much as you can let go. β
The haze that had dispersed rolled back in an instant. Covered up the spring light with a snap of his fingers.
His head slowly lowered. The face plunges deeper into darkness. Separated by a gap. With a sigh, he said, "Before." In front of people. I rarely allow myself to let go. It will make me cry with peace of mind. There is only one tree. β
"A tree. β
"Hmm. A Tree ......"
Liao Gushi said slowly: "That tree is very big and old. Its skin is withered. There is a deep rotten hole in the side. Make people think...... It's dead. But in the spring. Bottom root side. Occasionally, some new green leaf buds will grow. I was a kid at the time. I was wronged and encountered something sad. will run to squat in the hollow of the tree. While crying. While talking about your thoughts. It seems that even if the world becomes empty. There are still people who are listening to me and understand me. Catch it when it rains. That's when I'm happiest. Because you can hold your knees in the hollow of the tree. Quietly watch the rain hit the wet ground. Watching Xiaocao tremble and bow his head. At that time, the eyes were in the rain. Every raindrop became my eyes. but the heart is empty. I don't need to say anything. Whoosh. Time passed. β
He smiled. The speed of speech is very slow. There was a blissful peace in the voice.
The woman listened intently. Breathing also becomes quieter.
"It's a pity. Then I grew taller and taller. The hole in the tree seems to have become smaller, too. It's starting to be impossible to fit me. It can't hold my thoughts. After that, he rarely went. He took a deep breath. It's like swallowing a sigh. There was pain in his eyes.
"But once. I'm going to look for it again. That. I cried at it all night. I cried hard. Crying with hatred. It's as if this throat belongs to someone else. I can leave it alone. I cried until I was breathless. I don't know about personnel. And he awoke from the darkness. Nothing can be seen. His throat was so dry that he couldn't speak. I sat in a daze. I thought I was blind. I was at a loss. I don't know when. But the world is brightening. The red sun slowly rises behind him. There was a pain that pierced my heart. The pain is real. I looked down. Found. It turned out that his fingers were full of blood. Even a fingernail has been split and cocked. In front of the tree. There was a large area that was bare white. I've scratched the bark of the tree. Only dark tree holes remained. It was like laughing at me silently. β
Tears rolled down his cheeks. Bit by bit. Hit on top of the brocade quilt. Darken a cloud.
The woman hugged him a little tighter.
Liao Gushi looked far away: "I grew up beside my mother since I was a child. Very close to her. But she was rarely seen laughing. My father has achieved both literary and martial arts. It can be said that he is a person in the world. Although often away from home. It's very good for my mother. Every time you go out. I'll bring her some gifts back. But the mother smiled and took it. When turning your back. The eyes will be filled with sorrow again. I do not know. Why is she unhappy. β
"When I was a kid...... The most commonly seen. It was she who sat under the eaves. Looking at the red maple in the yard, I was fascinated. I'm tired of playing. Just crouched beside her and watched together. Ask her that the tree does not bear fruit. Watch what it does. Mother said...... The trees have the colors of the past. I didn't understand at first. I found out later. When she was in the boudoir. Go and send off my uncle who is going to travel far away. The two of them were under the maple tree and ...... separately."
The woman suddenly raised her head and interjected: "Your mother has an affair with your uncle. Isn't it. β
Liao Gushi was stunned.
The woman hung her head back over his shoulder. "No need to be surprised. Don't forget. I'm a**. β
She seemed to be afraid that Liao Gushi would feel sorry for herself again. smiled. Said: "Sister has seen a lot of this kind of thing. Just guess it. What cousins and cousins, brothers-in-law and aunts, husbands and daughters-in-law. Even sons-in-law and mothers-in-law. Ay. There is nothing in this world. People now. Just keep yourself happy. Who cares what others think? Liao Gushi's face jumped a few times: "Not bad." This slut only cares about himself. No shame. Selfish. So that day after she confessed. I drew my sword and showed no mercy. It stabbed hard through her heart. β
The woman covered her lips and said, "You stabbed her to death." β
Liao Gushi shook his head: "No...... At that time, the adulterer's uncle happened to come over. Enter the house and see this scene. and will kill me...... Originally, I was no match for him. But he was empty-handed and without a sword. I had the upper hand. You can see the winner and loser between a few moves. Unexpectedly, the slut was not yet dead. Rushing from the ground. Hold me on one leg. Tell him to go away and don't hurt me...... The dog adulterer saw her crying bitterly and pitifully. Furious in a hurry. As a result, he was obedient and stomped away. I picked up my sword and chased after it. The slut was dying. But he kept crying and hugging my thighs...... I staggered and shuffled. Took her out into the yard. Blood gushed from the back of her chest. Drag out a fishy piece on the ground. Straight to the center of the courtyard. It's like a narrow red carpet. She was ...... It's no longer sustainable. The mouth still kept wailing. Pleading. There is already a fire in the house. It's red everywhere. It's like the whole world. It's all blood-stained ......."
His throat throbbed. Dry throat. It was as if the scene was right in front of us. His body trembled slightly. Unsustainable.
The woman looked at him silently. Mixed emotions in his eyes.
