After the "King of Jin" Li Zhuyong became king, he almost brought the entire Qingzhou under his command, except for Jiangji Mansion.
At this time, Jiangji Mansion has the support of Xinzhou Commander-in-Chief Meng Tong, and it will not be easy to win again.
Li Zhuyong also knew that he could not rush for a while, so he temporarily chose to stop and recuperate for the follow-up.
All over the world, people in the market are talking about the strange woman who guards Jiangji Mansion.
Various storytelling and operas have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. In just a few days, there have been more than a dozen versions of the drama "The Heroine Guards the Lonely City"...
However, these things have nothing to do with Cheng Baiyu, because he is about to die.
At this time, he had already twisted a hemp rope and hung it on the tree.
Taking one last look at this world that had nothing left for him, Cheng Baiyu slowly exhaled, pulled the hemp rope with both hands, and was about to put it on his neck.
Just when I was about to put it on, I suddenly heard a voice shouting:
"Slow down, slow down, do you want to hang yourself?"
Cheng Baiyu looked at the person who came, but a young man with disheveled hair appeared here.
The boy's clothes were thin and he looked a little pitiful in the late autumn.
He was just about to die, so he didn't care about anything else. He just said:
"I'm just looking for death, what are you doing here?"
"What a coincidence. What a coincidence. I came here to seek death. Seeing that you have a ready-made rope here, I wanted to borrow it.
Why don't you do it for your convenience and let's die together? "
The crazy boy said, showing a sincere smile, as if he really wanted to die.
When Cheng Baiyu heard this, he shook his head:
"No, for seeking death, just find a place by yourself, why bother coming with me."
"Oh, why are you so stingy? You are a person who is going to die, and you still care about that."
The crazy young man said and urged,
"Hurry up, I'll use it after you hang yourself."
Seeing the serious look on the other person's face, Cheng Baiyu hesitated, thinking that he was going to die anyway, so he didn't have to worry about what happened after death.
Reach out to adjust the hemp rope and put it on your neck.
But out of the corner of his eye, he still saw the crazy boy staring at him.
This made Cheng Baiyu feel a little uncomfortable. He loosened his hand and looked at the other party and said:
"Why are you always looking at me?"
The crazy boy laughed and said:
"Of course it depends on how you die. I'll learn from it when I die later."
Cheng Baiyu felt a little uncomfortable when the other party said this and asked:
"I see you are young, only sixteen or seventeen years old. Why are you seeking death?"
"You are only in your twenties, why are you seeking death?"
The crazy boy asked back.
"My heart is dead, now I just have to die. Naturally, I will die early and be liberated early."
When Cheng Baiyu talked about the reason why he sought death, his eyes were full of anger and regret, and the corners of his eyes became moist unconsciously.
But the manly man did not really cry, and asked again:
"You haven't said why you are seeking death?"
The crazy boy laughed and said:
"It's autumn now, and when winter comes, I will freeze to death.
Rather than freeze to death someday, it is better to die early now and suffer less. "
"Is this why you're seeking death?"
"Otherwise? How can it be because of a woman?"
When Cheng Baiyu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
After thinking for a while, he took off his coat and handed it to the other party:
"If you use my coat, I think you can survive the winter without having to die."
The crazy boy got the coat and put it on with a smile on his face. He kept thanking Cheng Baiyu and urging him to hang himself quickly.
Cheng Baiyu did not thank the other party for the "kind" reminder, and walked to the hemp rope again, planning to hang himself.
Just as he was about to hang himself, he heard the other party crying again and saying that they wanted to die together.
Cheng Baiyu heard the sound and turned around and asked:
"Why are you seeking death?"
But I saw the crazy young man crying and saying:
"With just clothes and no pants, I will still freeze to death in the end. I think I'd better die in peace now to avoid suffering in the future."
These words made Cheng Baiyu's mouth twitch slightly. After hesitating, he took off his pants and handed them to the other party. He was left with only a pair of white underwear underneath.
The crazy boy got the pants and was as happy as a child, dancing and dancing. At the same time, he continued to urge Cheng Baiyu to hang himself.
This was the first time for Cheng Baiyu to be so "cared about" by someone, and it felt quite strange.
After taking a deep breath, he still chose to walk to the hemp rope and wanted to hang himself.
As a result, I heard the crazy boy's loud laughter again, and he kept shouting, "Hang the scholar, hang the scholar."
When Cheng Baiyu heard this, he realized that he was still wearing a scholar's square scarf on his head.
When I thought about it, what the crazy young man said was right. The saint never taught him to hang himself.
Thinking of this, Cheng Baiyu decided——
Take off the handkerchief.
To die in a white body like this would not be an insult to the saint.
But he finally plucked up the courage to hang himself again, but out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help but look at the crazy boy.
I saw that this time the other party was not making any noise, just playing with his handkerchief.
It was nothing at first, but the next moment, Cheng Baiyu couldn't stand it anymore.
This guy actually had to use his own handkerchief to clean his shoes.
Cheng Baiyu immediately stopped him and said:
"This is a symbol of academic status. How can you use it like this?"
The crazy young man rolled his eyes at him and said:
"I'm not a scholar, I don't care whether he has fame or not.
Besides, aren’t you going to die? Anyway, after you die, I can't play with it however I like. "
"you......"
Cheng Baiyu was speechless for a moment, feeling a bit toothache.
The person in front of me is really a helpless lunatic.
"Give me back the kerchief."
"Return it to you? You are going to die, why should I return it to you?"
"I, I won't die, I won't die!"
Cheng Baiyu's face felt a little hot, as if he had done something dishonest.
"Hey, you don't keep your word, you promised to seek death, how could you say so hastily that you won't die?
No, no, you said you were going to die, you have to die to show me. "
"I...I don't want to die today!"
As Cheng Baiyu said this, he took the scarf back and walked down the mountain in his underwear and underwear without caring about his clothes.
After taking only two steps, he saw the crazy young man coming down behind him wearing his clothes and pants.
Going down the same road together, there was nothing to say. Cheng Baiyu just pretended that the other party did not exist and walked like this.
Until he came down the mountain, wherever he went, the crazy boy would follow him.
At this time, Cheng Baiyu couldn't help but turn around and asked:
"We've already gone down the mountain, why are you still following me?"
The crazy boy suddenly said seriously:
"Of course I'm waiting for you to die? Otherwise, why would I follow you?
By the way, do you plan to die tomorrow or the day after tomorrow? "
"I......"
Cheng Baiyu was speechless for a moment. Suicide depends on his mood.
The original mood of happily committing suicide today was completely ruined by this crazy young man. Now he is completely in no mood to consider suicide.
"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you have no idea when to commit suicide. I will always follow you. Just tell me when you think about it and decide to commit suicide."
What does "thinking about it and deciding to commit suicide" mean?
Cheng Baiyu was speechless for this person and couldn't help but say:
"I asked you if there is something wrong with you..."
Well, no need to ask, the other party does have a problem.
As a scholar and disciple of a saint, Cheng Baiyu decided not to argue with a madman.
It's just that this crazy boy always follows him, which is really annoying.
Looking back at the boy, he didn't seem very strong.
Seeing this, Cheng Baiyu suddenly accelerated and started running, trying to get rid of the opponent.
After running wildly for a while, he felt that he was out of breath from exhaustion, and then he stopped, holding on to a tree next to him and gasping for air.
"Oh, I'm so tired. I'm so exhausted. Why are you running so fast?"
The crazy boy appeared next to him out of nowhere, imitating his movements, holding on to the tree, and breathing heavily.
Seeing that the other party was actually able to keep up, Cheng Baiyu felt a little distrustful and ran wildly again, trying to get away from the crazy boy.
After running for a while, I was too tired to run. Before I could turn around, I heard a young man's voice in my ear.
"Run, keep running, this is so much fun, the wind is whistling in your ears, it's so interesting."
"..."
Cheng Baiyu stopped looking at him and walked forward sulkingly.
The crazy boy was talking nonsense beside him, which was very annoying.
Just after walking for a while, suddenly a cold wind blew.
Cheng Baiyu, whose body temperature had cooled down, only had his underwear and underwear, and couldn't help but shiver.
Looking at the crazy young man wearing his own clothes and trousers again, Cheng Baiyu suddenly felt a little bit regretful. If he had known it, he would not have given him clothes.
But as a saint's disciple, if he asked him to come back now, he would be embarrassed, so he had to endure the cold and keep walking.
After finally getting to his residence, Cheng Baiyu couldn't help but ask when he saw that the crazy boy was still following him:
"I'm already home, why are you following me?"
"Oh~~So you plan to die at home!"
The crazy young man looked like he suddenly realized something, and then continued,
"Then if you die, won't you be able to use the house? Why don't you give it to me too!"
As he spoke, he also arranged his clothes.
Cheng Baiyu:......
Not wanting to pay attention to this madman anymore, he pushed open the door to the small courtyard and wanted to add some clothes first.
As a result, the crazy boy ran into the house first and rummaged around in his living room.
“Hey, this dress is good, and so is this.
OK, all good! "
The young man looked very excited, as if these things belonged to him.
Cheng Baiyu stepped forward and wanted to say something.
Before he could speak, the young man said:
"You have food, drink and clothing here. It's very good. When will you die? If you die, can you give me all these?"
Cheng Baiyu's face twitched slightly when he heard that the other party kept talking about the word "death".
"Let it go, let it all go. Who said I was going to die? I won't die! I won't die in the future!"
When the crazy young man heard this, he put down the things:
"Okay, if you don't die, I won't be able to get anything."
As he said that, he walked out feeling a little depressed.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Cheng Baiyu looked at the young man's back. Although he couldn't bear it, he still didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.
But before the young man could reach the door, he suddenly turned around again, with a bright smile on his face again:
"I've figured it out. I can wait. After you figure it out, I'll take your things when you want to die again."
Cheng Baiyu:......
After the young man figured it out, he was very happy. He ran into the house again and looked around:
"This is mine from now on, this is mine from now on, and this, this, all are mine!"
Seeing the other party like this, Cheng Baiyu felt a little powerless.
Forget it, he's a madman, don't argue with him.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a crazy young man holding a black wooden plate on the window sill and playing with it. His eyes were full of curiosity, but he actually wanted to bite it with his teeth.
When Cheng Baiyu saw this, his eyebrows jumped and he shouted quickly:
"Shut up, you can't bite this, put it down, put it down, and give it back to me!"
The young man seemed to be frightened by his words and stopped biting.
Cheng Baiyu quickly snatched the black wooden plate and held it in his hand for inspection.
Seeing that the wooden plate was intact, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he hid the wooden plate directly in his arms, as if he was afraid of losing it or damaging it.
Seeing this, the crazy young man came to him and asked doubtfully:
"What's the use of this dish? You won't even give it to me!"
Cheng Baiyu didn't want to pay attention, let alone explain anything.
But that crazy young man had the temperament to ask questions to the end. If he didn't answer, the other party kept pestering him.
Cheng Baiyu had no choice but to tell the whole story.
...
