"I...I don't want to go back to the past, no! Wuhen...do you know how cold the river water was that day! The ice-crusted river water was chilling to the bone! It seemed to be piercing the flesh, and the thorns... Into the bone marrow!"
"At that time, I stretched out my hands desperately and struggled and fluttered in the river, but that damn woman was indifferent to my life and death. She had a vicious smile on her face and watched me drown in the river!"
"At a young age, I felt that the sky and the earth were not working. I was left with endless despair and endless resentment! In the end, I sank to the bottom of the river and was surrounded by darkness."
When Li Zhuoyu said this, his whole body was shaking slightly, his pupils were dilated, and he seemed to be trapped in the nightmare of that year and unable to extricate himself.
There was a time when he no longer wanted to recall everything that happened, because once he recalled it, it would only make him hurt again.
However, that terrible memory was like a vicious snake. Even if he avoided thinking about it during the day, it would creep into his dreams at night, wrap around his neck, and strangle him again and again!
When Mr. Wuhen heard this, he felt a sense of compassion in his heart. He couldn't help but feel pity. He felt that the poor man in front of him seemed to have become a child, just like Tie Muyun once, so weak and helpless and in need. Others care and help!
Just when he wanted to reach out to comfort Li Zhuoyu, Li Zhuoyu raised the hand holding the wine glass. He lowered his head and looked at his slightly trembling big hands with distracted eyes, falling into deep memories:
"My... hands and feet were numb from the cold, and I no longer had any strength to struggle. The river water poured into my throat in large gulps. I felt endless suffocation, and my heart and lungs felt like they were going to explode!"
"The cold river water poured into my body, trying to swallow me alive, Wuhen... it was too cold, the river water was too cold that night... But who knows? Who can truly understand it? That kind of isolation and loneliness, heart-death and despair, despair for the world, and despair for the people in the world!"
"The innocent and kind-hearted child who was once died on that helpless night. What came back to life was just another spiteful person full of hatred! I don't want to face myself in the mirror either."
"Sometimes I hate myself for being like this, but only by becoming heartless can I survive. Is it wrong for me to choose to be strong? Is it wrong for me to choose to retaliate?"
"Should I ask for my life from my enemy? If I really died that night. Wuhen, let me ask you, did Mrs. Qin really not die? Did I really deserve to die!"
Li Zhuoyu banged his fists heavily on the cold stone table, gritted his teeth angrily and complained in pain, his eyes were almost red, the cold snowy wind blew his clothes, and his whole body was shivering.
Young Master Wuhen looked at Li Zhuoyu in front of him with distress. At this moment, Li Zhuoyu finally took off his disguise and presented his injured self nakedly in front of him. But facing him with such scars, how much can he bear?
Therefore, Li Zhuoyu never dared to show the pain in his heart to his family. Li Zhuoyu knew that as relatives, they could not accept or bear it. Because they love him deeply, they will feel deep regret and endless self-blame.
His true feelings at this moment can only be expressed to Mr. Wuhen, because only he, an insignificant stranger, can bear the pain in his heart at this moment. Only in this way, allowing him to see clearly the pain in his heart, can Master Wuhen completely eliminate the hatred for him in his heart.
Young Master Wuhen once warmed the heart of a child many years ago, but he could not warm the heart of a person who had been soaked in the dark glacier for a long time, because his heart had long since become cold and frozen hard.
Master Wuhen sighed deeply. Fortunately, he met Tie Muyun when he was very young and led him to the right path. Otherwise, Tie Muyun would probably follow in Li Zhuoyu's footsteps when he grows up.
Mr. Wuhen stretched out his hand, and gently placed his warm palms on Li Zhuoyu's fists. He said gently: "Zhuoyu... the river must have been very cold that night. You must have suffered too much when you were alone. And despair! If I were there at that time, I would definitely give you a hand and not let you bear the pain alone! Even if we are strangers, I will never bear to see you hurt in the slightest. It's a pity...
...You have to endure those painful years alone and silently..."
With tears in his eyes, Li Zhuoyu raised his head to look at Mr. Wuhen. The Mr. Wuhen in front of him was really like a beam of warm eyes, which warmed people's hearts and was never dazzling. Anyone who was with him would be attracted to him unconsciously. Want to be close to him! Be impressed by his charm! Want to be his friend!
He finally understood why Li Lanyu liked Mr. Wuhen as a friend so much. He was indeed a worthy friend! A friend worth going through all the trouble for!
It's a pity that they met too late!
The two raised their glasses and drank the last glass of wine in silence. Then Li Zhuoyu stood up and left, leaving only Mr. Wuhen to continue sitting in the pavilion drinking with a sense of loss.
The same person who felt as lost as him was Li Lanyu, who walked out from behind the bamboo forest wearing a white fox fur.
Snowflakes fell gently on her body in white. She had beautifully styled hair, with her long black hair hanging behind her, like a fairy in the snow.
"Lanyu, when did you come?"
Li Lanyu said: "I have been here a long time ago. I saw my brother coming to see you, so I followed him secretly. While you were talking, I hid behind the bamboo forest."
Mr. Wuhen asked: "Could it be...are you afraid that your brother will hurt me?"
Li Lanyu nodded lightly and said: "Although I said that I believed that my brother would not hurt you, I was still a little worried in my heart at that time. After all, we brother and sister have not seen each other for many years. What kind of person he has become now, I am not Very clear."
Mr. Wuhen asked, "Did you hear our conversation just now?"
Li Lanyu nodded, her eyes were red with sadness, and she said softly: "Oh! I didn't expect that my brother is so painful in his heart. Facing such a painful relative, no matter what he does, I will never think that he is wrong! Now that my brother has made up his mind and is firm in his thoughts, if I can't change his heart, I will have no choice but to stay by his side and take good care of him!"
Young Master Wuhen looked at her worriedly and said, "But that half-faced Rakshasa is the scourge of the world. Your brother owns it. Even if we don't tell it, people in the world will know about it sooner or later. By then, I'm afraid, Before he achieves his magical feats, he will be hunted by the Jianghu people!"
Li Lanyu frowned slightly, bit her lips and remained silent.
Mr. Wuhen sighed: "Since it was your brother's choice, we can't care so much. After all, everyone has his own ambitions. But Lan Yu, Baiyu Villa is a place of right and wrong after all. If your brother is so determined to go his own way, you will probably cause trouble in the future." Upper body, I think you should leave Baiyu Villa with me!"
"I..." Li Lanyu looked up at him, her dark eyes sparkling.
Mr. Wuhen stretched out his hand, gently held her cold fingers and said, "Lanyu, your brother intends to entrust you to me. We have known each other for many years, and you know me well. You don't understand what I mean, right?" !」
Li Lanyu hesitated, and she said softly: "Brother is right, I have admired you for a long time. When you regarded me as a friend, I already had admiration in my heart. However, due to my identity, I can only continue to admire you." Suppress my feelings for you."
Mr. Wuhen smiled and said, "Now that there is no obstacle between you and me, don't you still want to be with me?"
Li Lanyu shook her head and said:
"I have you in my heart, but I can't worry about my brother. You just said that Baiyu Villa can't keep you, and I can't leave Baiyu Villa. If I leave, where will my brother go? I'm afraid he will end up will go astray."
"I have already thought about spending the rest of my life making up for my debt to him, changing him little by little, and warming him up! I believe that as time goes by, he will definitely change! Wuhen, I can't agree to leave with you, At least not now...I can't be so selfish..."
Mr. Wuhen sighed and nodded: "Lanyu, I was selfish. I thought I could take you away, but I never thought about you. For you, the hard-earned family love is indeed valuable. Since you You have a choice, if you want to try to change him, then I will support you, and I don’t want to give up on Takuyu and watch him go astray.”
Li Lanyu was overjoyed and held Master Wuhen's hand tightly and said, "Wuhen, then
Would you like to accompany me at Baiyu Villa? "
Mr. Wuhen said: "Lanyu, although I can't stay with you in Baiyu Villa, I promise you that I will come to Baiyu Villa to visit you from time to time. I will give you time to try to change your brother. If one day you want to You have left Baiyu Villa, and I will come to pick you up!"
Li Lanyu knew that Mr. Wuhen liked freedom by nature, and even if they loved each other, they could not be restrained here. She nodded slowly and said, "Okay!"
Money Villa deserves to be called Money Villa, and the guards really completed the road opening project in one night. Early the next morning, everyone left in front of the Baiyu Villa.
Ye Zhenfeng, Chu Mubai and Lan Zuiwu set off on the road.
People and horses in Qianshan Villa were heading towards another road.
Mr. Wuhen also set off to leave with the people from Beijiu Villa.
When parting, Li Lanyu was reluctant to leave, but she only held back tears to say goodbye. Mr. Wuhen leaned out of the car window and waved goodbye to her. The two parted reluctantly, but they also secretly kept their love for each other.
Tie Muyun, who was sitting in the carriage, watched Mr. Wuhen say goodbye to Li Lanyu. Seeing the reluctance on his face, he couldn't help but feel jealous. Could it be that Master likes Li Lanyu from White Jade Villa?
Tie Muyun guessed from this in his mind, and then glanced at Li Lanyu in the distance with sinister eyes, with a bit of hostility in his eyes. As the carriage drove farther and farther, an imperceptible smile appeared on his lips.
Ye Zhenfeng and others were sitting in the carriage, chatting and laughing. Suddenly, a black spiritual light emitted from his hand, and then a round black astrolabe totem rose.
Lan Zuiwu asked in confusion: "What happened to Brother Ye? Did the tracking charm you left on Li Qingcheng react?"
