Wu Jin left the kitchen and walked back to his room.
He sat in the chair, leaned his upper body back, his shoulders slumped down, his hands rested on the armrests of the chair, and his legs stretched forward. Like his hands, they were in a tired and weak shape. Only his waist was still straight. .
The wind was howling outside, and the snow was like a mat, and the wind and snow were beating on this small house. It was heartbreaking to hear it.
He looked at the old grid above his head and thought about the "heart disease" that Li Yitie said.
Wu Mu had a cold on the outside and a heart ailment on the inside. If she got the heart medicine, she would suddenly be relieved and her illness would be cured.
Naturally, he also knew where this heart disease came from.
Hot pain was flowing in his body, and Wu Mu's illness was turning into magma, blocking the forks in his life, destroying his choices, and grinding him into powder.
Wu's mother kept asking about the day, as if she wanted to survive the new year.
He got up and poured himself a cup of tea. The tea seemed to be from this morning, or maybe yesterday. He didn't remember it at all. He only knew that the tea tasted very bitter and was cold in the mouth. He took a sip and held the tea cup for a while. Suddenly he raised his hand and threw the outdated cup of tea to the ground.
The ground was made of compacted loess. The tea cup rolled to the ground and spun around a few times, but was unharmed. The tea was flowing all over the ground, quickly spreading to his feet and soaking his soles.
This is the only outlet for this trapped beast.
He slowly squatted down and picked up the tea cup. The remaining tea on the ground suddenly rippled. He looked up and thought it was a leak in the roof. When he raised his head, he realized that what was dripping was water. own tears.
He picked up the tea cup and put it back on the table. He squatted down with a handkerchief and wiped away the remaining tea on the floor. As he wiped it, he thought about finding a possibility from the impossible, getting the best of both worlds and untying Wu's mother's knot.
After half an hour, he had no idea what to do. He could only drag his heavy body to the table, open a newspaper, and look for the Salesian Bureau he had read.
While he was watching, Wu Yi suddenly arrived at the door and shouted "Brother" through the door. After Wu Jin answered, he rushed into the room, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Brother, Miss Mo is here."
Wu Jin was stunned, put down the newspaper and walked out. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back suddenly, took out the umbrella, and hurriedly walked out: "Second brother, I'll be back as soon as I go. Please pay more attention to my mother-in-law."
Wu Yi nodded repeatedly: "I know."
Wu Jin strode into the wind, and the wind and snow wrapped around him, swirling around him, just like his fate, heavy, oppressive, and cold, with occasional joy, like a little fire that sneaked in, and was quickly swept away again. submerged.
When he walked out of the door, he saw Mo Lingfeng without an umbrella. He was wearing soft armor and a fiery red cloak. His hair hung down on both sides and was combed into a bun for easy wearing. He was fidgeting with a gold necklace on his chest with one hand. Standing under the eaves, looking up at the door plaque.
Yin Nan stood five steps away, looking warily.
Wu Jin took a deep breath to dispel the fatigue, moved the umbrella to Mo Lingfeng's head, lifted it up, and whispered: "Go back to the fortress today?"
Mo Lingfeng nodded, took out a piece of hard yellow paper that was as long as a palm and four fingers wide, handed it to Wu Jin, and said with a smile, "I don't want to wait too long."
Wu Jin looked down and saw "Kuanzhou Examination Ticket" at the beginning. The two characters "Wu Jin" were written below. The left side said tall and beardless, and the right side wrote "white face".
It is stamped with the seals of Zhizhou and Zhifu, and behind it is the surname and official title of the sponsor.
Mo Lingfeng said seriously: "The court is in turmoil, and the situation is ever-changing. With just a few old friends, I might miss my major event. Once you enter the court, I will feel more at ease. When the time comes, my Mo family will regroup." , when entering and leaving the court, it will all be up to you to be careful."
Wu Jin looked at the exam ticket, then looked at Mo Lingfeng. He felt like a knife was rolling in his belly, causing his internal organs to be shattered and dripping with blood. She knew everything, so she sent this exam ticket. .
He put away the examination ticket, a tear fell down, and soon disappeared.
Mo Lingfeng looked up at him: "Now that Wang Yunsheng has fallen, the Mo family has been gathered together, my brother is guarded by Yin Bei, and the new official's eyes are on the fortress. It is the time when you enter the capital."
Wu Jin stepped forward, held an umbrella with one hand, and hugged Mo Lingfeng hard and desperately with the other hand.
Mo Lingfeng knew that Wu Jin had to enter the court, sooner or later, so she had no tears. However, her head was damp and her eyes were wet. After a brief hug, Wu Jin wanted to let go. However, she stretched out her hands, grabbed Wu Jin's clothes, and pushed her head into Wu Jin's arms.
Wu Jin was about to retreat, but she didn't expect Mo Lingfeng's thrust. She swayed back, quickly stabilized her body, held the umbrella with one hand, and covered Mo Lingfeng's back, covering her. Feng Xue, one hand firmly supported the wall.
Mo Lingfeng's mood comes from separation and loneliness. The people she likes and her partners in Kuanzhou City will all leave, leaving her alone.
She slammed into Wu Jin's arms with force. The breastplate on the soft armor touched the end of Wu Jin's sternum, and the animal head on the upper arm scraped the inside of Wu Jin's arm. He groaned, pressed his back against the wall, and freed up a He stroked Mo Lingfeng's back with his hand.
It's been so many years, when will we see you again?
She buried her head in Wu Jin's chest and took a deep breath, then raised her head, took a step back, then took another step back, stepped out from under Wu Jin's umbrella, and looked up at Wu Jin with a smile.
She could see Wu Jin's face. In the night, his picturesque eyebrows and starry eyes carried the most sincere guilt and emotion in the world. The wind could not break it and the rain could not blow it away. Even though he was so exhausted, he still maintained an upright posture, upright, calm, and with a silent commitment.
She thought that the only way to control a gentleman is to treat him sincerely.
"I'm leaving." She turned around and walked into the snow, heading to join her army of women outside the Baishi Bridge.
Wu Jin closed the umbrella and watched her leave. The smile that had surged up due to her arrival also dissipated little by little. The sound of Mo Lingfeng blowing the xun came from the wind, rising and falling, whimpering, and the wind It sounds the same, neither sad nor happy, just a straight tune.
After a while, she probably got on the horse, and the sound of the xun stopped.
Wu Jin lowered his head and looked at his chest and abdomen, stretched out his fingers and touched them, feeling a cold and moist feeling on his fingertips.
He opened the door and walked home. Wu Yi came out of the kitchen and wanted to give Wu's mother a piece of candy to try. When he saw Wu Jin coming back, he spun around and ran to Wu Jin: "Brother, come here Miss Mo." What to do?"
"Come and deliver the exam tickets."
"Take the exam?" Wu Yi subconsciously put the piece of candy into his mouth, chewed it twice, and suddenly looked at Wu Jin with wide eyes, "Brother, are you going to Beijing to take the exam?"
Wu Jin nodded.
Wu Yi's screams alerted Wu's father. Wu's father came out of the kitchen with his hands on the ground and looked at Wu Jin in surprise: "Boss, are you going to take the exam? Is it still late?"
"There's enough time," Wu Jin replied, "The exams start on the ninth day of February, so I'll leave tonight. I'll take the official road along the way and try not to stop as much as possible, so I can arrive before the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month."
