Through the space between the transoms on the ceiling, Jiang Tian could see the vast manor, the slowly opening front door with crowds of slaves running around, and the hand-held flags, vertical signs and paint guns wrapped with silk. , horse-headed battleships and other objects; ceremonial guards trotting into it and standing in rows.
Immediately afterwards, more people filed into several rows; they were wearing half-length iron scale armor, gray cloaks, and small bean crowns; they were holding regiment cards and single-cutting knives, or guards holding hook guns and long halberds; Wearing a green shirt with black crotch and a gray futou, he is carrying a Hulu full of arrows and a retinue with bow arms.
After these groups of retinues/guards, led by more than a dozen military officers, briefly inspected the scene and occupied many commanding heights such as the turrets, walls, and tile roofs of the vestibule; they followed closely behind. A group of muscular servants in rough clothes walked into the room and began to set up the scene.
Finally, several fragrant carriages and horses decorated with thatch covers, white copper carvings and silk curtains slowly drove into the vestibule of the feudal mansion, surrounded by maids in colorful clothes and long skirts holding various utensils in their hands. Just looking at the size of this scene, she is at least a third-grade married woman.
The slaves present had already knelt on the ground in the vestibule in humiliation; they did not dare to raise their heads with fear, and did not dare to express their dignity. Then, a few female officials dressed in men's clothing got off the first incense car with a copper-draped tent, and began to further inspect the arrangements of the servants.
After a moment, he nodded to the car that followed and said something. In the center was a fragrant car with the largest thatch cover, and suddenly a pair of young girls with haircuts and picturesque features jumped out; they saw their colorful skirts swaying, their figures slender, and a small decorative sword hanging on their waists. .
It's just that their delicate faces and dresses are almost identical, and they are only distinguished by their green and red colors. I saw them saluting to the inside of the car. One stretched out his hand to open the curtain, and the other stretched out his hand to support and hold a graceful figure wearing a palace dress, a long skirt and a silk apron, and a silver flower beaded curtain hat on her head.
Obviously, this woman in the curtain hat is the unique core figure of this sudden visit to the caravan. However, I saw her whispering a few words to the slaves left behind in the garden, and then led by a frightened old man to the small courtyard in the back garden.
Although Jiang Tian was a little surprised when he saw this, he immediately released Person A to act as an external guard; at the same time, he temporarily shared part of its "virtualization" ability; and quietly disappeared into the shadows on the beam. At this moment, he just wanted to see what medicine this woman was selling in her gourd?
As the retinues and guards were pushed around the small courtyard, they were quickly alerted and surrounded; the woman in the curtain hat blocked them from the small courtyard; then, with only the pair of twin maids, she stepped into the area. In the deserted inner courtyard, he walked straight into the small building with a familiarity.
Immediately, she finally let out a long sigh under the eyes of everyone; she stretched her body again and let a pair of maids take off the floor-length brocade blouse and the beaded flower curtain; suddenly revealing a cloud-patterned silk scarf. Half an arm with wisps of flowers, like a gold-woven palace skirt with brilliant clouds.
Although her bright and plump face has passed her prime, she still seems to have a vague sense of unparalleled elegance; her eyes are as clear and sparkling as a girl's; occasionally, her gestures and gestures still have the charm of the past that captivated all sentient beings. It also makes the originally desolate and desolate courtyard become brighter and warmer.
However, at the moment he saw this woman, Jiang Tian's body once again surged with complex emotions such as admiration and kindness that seemed familiar to him before, but mixed with vague hatred and rejection, as well as the fear and withdrawal of the close-minded people. , just want to severely criticize and reprimand the other party.
At the same time, in this empty old room, she was sitting on the bed tent regardless of the dust; suddenly she sang a melodious little song. It's just that although the melody is suspected to be the melody of "There is a Beauty in the South", the content is more suspicious of an ancient children's song:
"The abandoned child is among the flowers, and the concubine is so light that she cannot stop crying.
There was milk in the three dynasties but could not be drunk. Visitors felt sad when they heard it and wept.
The concubine can give birth to children but not raise them, and there will be people coming and going among the flowers.
Tung flowers and small phoenix flowers form the embryo, and the flowers make the leaves grow. "
With the graceful voice of her a cappella singing, Jiang Tian, who was hiding in the shadow on the beam, seemed to have some memory fragments reappearing in his mind: for example, in a mountain temple with bells and drums in the morning and evening, the simple and pure life of childhood cultivation. , and the old monk whose face was too vague to remember.
Then, in the huge garden with luxuriant grass and luxuriant flowers and trees, with the crowd chasing after each other, running and letting go as much as you want; finally, you bump into a warm embrace; It turned into studying hard under night light, being gently slapped by a hand-held fan.
It was continuous companionship day and night, and teaching in turns day and night; it was just to transform a blank sheet of paper that came out of the mountain temple into a person that the big people expected in the shortest possible time. appearance; also because I don’t want to see her sadness and disappointment.
Then I stood in a gorgeous hall again, and was looked at carefully for a long time by a man in rich clothes who was majestic and solemn but could not hide his disgust. It was like a prop or utensil that could walk and demonstrate on its own. Then he nodded slightly with an expressionless face and was led to a high platform.
Outside the white jade railings with flowing clouds and carved patterns, amidst the sounds of countless roaring mountains and tsunamis coming towards me, the scene in front of me suddenly turned into a wild scene with blood flowing everywhere and corpses lying on the pillow; the man looked at all this with an expressionless face, Then he left "himself" who was still in shock and walked away.
Only the warm embrace and whispers of relief from behind allowed the frightened and trembling boy to slowly calm down little by little. Therefore, when a young woman, full of guilt and helplessness, shed tears and said, "You are a good boy, I would never have the intention to harm you no matter what."
Therefore, the young man believed it without hesitation; and then he calmly accepted the result of being kicked out in disguise and becoming a step-son of someone else who had never been masked. However, even though "he" took the initiative to stay away from the vortex full of scheming and calculation, Fei did not stay away from the young man.
Just when he accepted his destiny and began to work hard to play the role of an adopted son, a sudden order once again destroyed his short-term tranquility and determination. It was also the last time "he" saw this woman; and the farewell banquet she prepared with her own hands.
So, when the boy woke up again, he was already in the inland of the Tang Dynasty, on an express train that was galloping non-stop to Beijing along the southeast straight road. And the life plan/exile decision that came from the mouth of an old weary was like a severance of friendship; from then on, I was completely heartbroken.
Then finally one day, the childish young man from a corner of the southeast completely disappeared or died completely; only a young man who was full of desolation and laziness was left, wandering in the market all year round and living in obscurity. After successfully escaping surveillance, he worked in many businesses.
After experiencing many things in confusion, he was redeemed and inspired again by an unexpected chance meeting; by the bright moonlight shining into his life again. Then at the beautiful moment of the Shangyuan Festival, they lost each other again and died in a secluded alley.
However, at this moment, because he was filled with too many memories and his mind was filled with confusion, Jiang Tian hesitated. Because of the remaining instinct in his body, he clearly wants to be able to question and retaliate against the other party face to face one day, but he is also afraid of meeting him again and does not want to hurt the other party.
The next moment, the woman sitting on the bed tent suddenly stood up and let out a light sigh. Because, she found that the furnishings in the room, which had remained unchanged for many years, seemed to have slight traces of being moved; and the wooden sculpture that she had placed under the pillow after retrieving it was completely missing.
"Cui Xing, Cang Xing!" Immediately, she couldn't help shouting with a little emotion: "Let's check, who came in and touched the things in the room." "Yes! Madam." Then one of the twin maids heard the sound and out. Then, she couldn't help but check other furnishings and objects on site.
Because almost everything was prepared and purchased by the woman herself; it represents guilt and compensation for the child. Even after so many years, she still couldn't calm down in her heart. She would come back here every year to remember the things she saw and the people she saw.
Especially the simple wooden carving that she found with great difficulty, resembling a sheep and a deer, also represented the first gift carved by the child. But someone actually broke in secretly and stole the last bit of her thoughts. Although she usually has a calm and gentle temperament, she can't help but feel a little angry.
Later, the maid brought the foreman of the local slaves, and under the questioning of the accompanying guards, she cursed loudly and unjustly with tears in her eyes. On weekdays, no one dared to enter it, and she had never seen anyone. Signs of break-in. The same goes for searching around.
Finally, he sent the others out again and asked the lady to be alone in the room. Suddenly, she saw a few dried water stains on the edge of a case in bewilderment. Suddenly, she had an unbelievable but unbelievable suspicion in her heart. She couldn't help but raised her head and whispered softly:
"Linlang, are you back?"
"For so many years, I have thought day and night about what you would become..."
"But I didn't expect that you are no longer alive, and your soul can only return here?"
After hearing these words, Jiang Tian, who had changed his position and merged with the shadow, couldn't help but tremble; he couldn't help but have a subtle feeling of "eating melon and eating it on myself". However, a prompt popped up in his field of vision again: "Scenario mission: Overwhelming country with resentment..."
However, Jiang Tian still resisted the urge to show up in front of her, at least now was not the right time. Immediately, he used his mind to move the wooden sculpture that he had accidentally taken away through the blind spot outside the woman's perspective, and quietly stuffed it back under the pillow on the other side.
However, the next moment, a sudden scream interrupted Jiang Tian's final steps of ingestion; he fell straight onto the bed. But it was one of the twin maids who stepped into the room at some point and accidentally saw the wooden carving floating beside the bed. On the spot, her beautiful eyes widened, her fingers trembled and she exclaimed in surprise.
Therefore, amidst the fierce commotion, Jiang Tian could only control Man A in the opposite direction, making some noises in the east and west, while temporarily retreating from the manor. Okay, I accidentally turned into a pretender.
