He stood for a moment, took two steps back, and sat on the chair. The magic knife fell to the ground, but the paper was still held in his hand.
He saw Lin Qiao writing when he was in Jinghui Building. That night, she wrote on a piece of rice paper sprinkled with gold, "Spring is Coming Evening."
These four characters are in her slender and delicate font.
He felt that his mind was as bright as the blue brick floor in the courtyard outside the hall, and no thoughts could arise. After staying like this unconsciously for a while, his eyes slowly fell on the black short brown jacket beside him, and then his body suddenly shook and he woke up.
He immediately left his body and rushed out of the hospital. He can walk a thousand steps, and like a gust of wind, he shakes the entire house. When no one was seen, he rushed into each house and looked around one by one. When only Chang's family was left to be searched, he didn't care whether there was any formation or not, and rushed in.
But the courtyard gate and wall suddenly glowed with white light, and dozens of faceless humanoid figures stood on the wall, staring at him expressionlessly. He felt a strong force force him back, as if he had hit an iron plate.
He immediately returned to his physical body, went to the house first, put on his armor, took a knife, led a horse, and ran to the door of Chang's house in person. He jumped off his horse, slammed his fist on the door, and shouted: "Someone! Open the door!"
The door was opened, and a little girl poked her head in and saw him like this. She was startled and shouted, "Who...are you?"
Li Bochen pushed her away and stepped into the door, shouting: "Xiao Man!!"
The little girl was too scared to move behind him and screamed twice. Chang Qiuwu quickly walked out from behind the screen wall. When he saw him, he was stunned for a moment and said: "Brother Li..., what's going on?"
Li Bochen stared: "Mr. Chang, have you seen me, Xiaoman? My wife!"
Chang Qiuwu reacted for a while and then said: "Your wife? No, what's wrong?"
Li Bochen felt his body getting cold and took a deep breath: "Don't lie to me."
Chang Qiuwu said: "Brother Li... Oh, cousin! What happened?"
Li Bochen shook his head, turned around and left, saying, "Excuse me!"
He rushed out the door and jumped on the horse. Chang Qiuwu shouted something behind him, but he didn't want to listen anymore. There was only one thought left in his mind - why did she leave? Why? Why?
After running for dozens of steps like this, another thought came to him. He gritted his teeth and refused to think about it. But the thought drilled upward bit by bit like an awl, and it tore his heart out. He raised his hand and wiped his face fiercely, wiped the horse's head and then rushed back to the Chang family's house, saying: "Mr. Chang, tell me the truth, why do you think I am Sui Bujiu?!"
Chang Qiuwu opened his mouth but didn't answer him for a while. Li Bochen gritted his teeth and said, "Because of those pair of earrings? You said that day that those pair of earrings were aquamarine, because of this? What's the origin of that thing!?"
Chang Qiuwu looked at his house down the slope again, thought about it again, and finally said: "That thing was made by the Sui Dynasty court."
Li Bochen felt his body sway and almost fell off his horse. He closed his eyes and opened them again, saying, "Are you sure?"
Chang Qiuwu sighed: "Mrs. Meng's mother-in-law also went to the Li Palace in her early years to serve the concubines. If you don't believe me, just ask her. She also knows the goods. Brother Li, your wife, she... "
Li Bochen sat in a daze on the horse for a while, feeling that all the strength in his body had been drained away. Said: "She's gone."
Chang Qiuwu thought for a while and seemed to want to say something. But he just said: "...Oh."
Li Bochen took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Chang. I want to travel far."
Chang Qiuwu immediately asked: "Where to go?"
Li Bochen smiled: "I don't know. Mr. Chang, help me take care of my house."
After he said this, he beat the horse and galloped out.
The wind whistled in his ears, and he stared forward, thoughts popping up one after another in his mind. He remembered what Lin Qiao had said to Fang Cheng, what he had said to himself before, and everything that had happened in the past twenty days. He shouted in his heart, Xiaoman! Xiaoman! who are you! ?
But he felt he knew the answer. Now his head was as cold as ice, and many thoughts stabbed out like sharp knives, making his scalp feel numb.
Ye Lu's accomplice...the person who has never been traced by him.
Why did Ye Lu fight with him that night? He... is actually a dead soldier.
He always felt that the past twenty days were so wonderful, like a dream. But in the end, was it really a dream? A dream that others told me to have?
The horse rushed to the town and he did not stop. The horse's hooves flew, causing passers-by to shout to get out of the way, so he galloped all the way out of the town.
He didn't know how long he ran, but when the roads on both sides became dense forests, he finally said to himself: She is that person. The one I didn't find. She is not the real Lin Qiao.
The white horse was out of breath from running. He pulled the reins and told it to slow down.
After walking for a while, I felt my face getting cold. He raised his hand and wiped his face, crying. He raised his head and took a deep breath. Seeing that there was no one on the road, he felt even more sad.
Is it to borrow seeds? he thinks. But when I think of the words "borrowing seeds", I feel like my heart is twisting. What two words are so heartless and unjust... Is she also so heartless and unjust to herself? Are the things you have done and the words you have said these days all because of these two words?
No...no, how could it be?
He remembered that sentence - "You are the best person to me in this world." Why does she need to say this? Why bother calling yourself anything? Why should he tell himself that if there were other people with the surname Li in the world, it would be best for him to run his business here?
He felt waves of pain and hatred in his heart. I don't know who this is for, but I don't want to be directed towards her. She couldn't help herself, right? Otherwise, why bother saying those words? Those words... If I hadn't been obsessed with love these days, if I were normal, I would have felt something was wrong.
She also used the pair of pendants to exchange for a house, didn't she think that there might be flaws? At that time... was she really anxious to buy it and give herself a home?
Then why did she suddenly leave today? Is it because you are going to the Chang family? She was afraid that when the time came, the Chang family would ask her, why did they mistake her for Sui Bujiu?
If...if we talked about it a few days later, would she stay a little longer?
An idea came into his mind - to go to that world. When he was one hundred and twenty, he asked him to call all the secret agents from all over the country to look for him together. When I realized she was missing, she had been gone for two-quarters of an hour, but no matter how far she had gone, she still hadn't left Li territory, right? She can always be found.
Thinking of this, he immediately stopped his horse and wanted to return to that realm. But as soon as I cast a curse in my heart, it stopped again.
But what if we find her? say what? How to face it?
Li Boxen felt his heart slowly sinking. She couldn't help it...she should be from the Emperor's side. They want another one with the surname Li, so that they can have it under their control!
Then what? If a child is born...will they get rid of themselves and Linxi Jun? Tell that child to inherit Beichen's luck?
But that is our two children, how could she be so cruel? No... Li Bochen remembered what she said before - "No matter what happens, for me, Chensheng or Nianci, you have to hold on."
Is she talking about this moment?
Li Boxen's heart trembled... She was asking me to save them! But how to save them, what to use to save them, what will happen if they are saved, can they keep them safe for the rest of their lives! ?
He gripped the reins, gritted his teeth, and said to himself, Xiaoman, I don't hate you. I don't hate you at all... If I do, I only hate this world and the people who asked you to do this... I hate myself!
If you want me to be like Linxi Jun Li Shengyi, why are you like this? !
You told me not to rush when doing big things...are you talking about now? Okay, I'm not in a hurry...but one day, I will call you back!
He said these words in his heart several times before he felt that his chest no longer hurt so much. But after walking for a while, I saw the trees next to me and remembered that the two of them had passed this road a few days ago. I couldn't help but shed a few tears and thought, does she really have feelings for me?
He knew that he really didn't look like him at the moment, but the thoughts in his mind were rolling over and over like turbulent waves, and he couldn't calm down no matter what. After walking like this for an hour or two, we gradually saw Hou City in the distance.
He stood up, squinted at the horizon, and had an idea in his mind.
Going back to the lake. He wanted to see what Ye Xiaoman had carved on the wooden sign by the lake, otherwise, he would never feel at ease in his life.
But before that, there is still work to be done. Li Boxen gritted his teeth and thought, everyone in this world wants a stable and happy life. I had such a great time in the past twenty days. If you say it was a dream, it was really a dream - in this world, can you really expect that life to last forever? Even if she doesn't leave and she stays, if the demon kingdom invades or if others come to cause trouble for her, what will she do to defend her?
And now, why don't I dare to look for her again? Because I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it even if I find it... That's a hundred times more painful than knowing nothing!
He suddenly raised his head and roared angrily, then galloped towards Hou City.
There are officers and soldiers guarding the city gate. Li Boxen wanted to rush in without speaking to anyone. But he still gritted his teeth and dismounted, walking slowly among the crowd. When the soldiers checked him, he remembered that he was wearing armor, which might be very conspicuous.
But when the soldier saw his appearance, he shrank his neck and quickly put him in.
He led his horse and walked through the streets of the city. He remembered the shopping scene he had come here two days ago and breathed a sigh of relief to stop himself from thinking about it.
In this way, I walked to the door of the tea shop where I met the storyteller Zheng Zhao, and I saw him giving a lecture. Li Bochen didn't want to listen, he just led his horse and stood by the wall. Zheng Zhao said something and hurriedly said: "Everyone, everyone, I have something important to do today, so I got here first!"
The crowd booed, Zheng Zhao repeatedly accused him, and finally squeezed out, walked quickly to Li Bochen and said: "It's Mr. Chen! That's great, I thought I'd find you in the next two days - you are Let’s talk about what’s behind?”
Seeing his armor again, he was stunned: "What are you..."
Li Bochen forced a smile and said: "Mr. Zheng, I have to travel far for something. Before I leave, I will tell you the next twenty chapters."
Zheng Zhao looked at his face and hesitated: "Are you... encountering some difficulty? Do you want my help?"
These words were very heart-warming, but Li Bochen felt that his heart was like a piece of ice and could not warm up for a while. He just shook his head, led the horse to the side, and said: "No, thank you very much. Mr. Zheng, just talk here."
He tied the horse, walked to the tea shop, went up to the second floor, and found a private room. Zheng Zhao followed all the way behind without asking any more questions. Li Bochen took a seat by the window and said softly: "Mr. Zheng, please prepare a pen and paper, I will start."
Zheng Zhao nodded hurriedly, sat down opposite him, and prepared his pen and ink.
He didn't ask any more questions, but Li Boxen felt a little more comfortable and started talking. He originally thought that telling Zheng Zhao about this book would help him finish the things he promised to others first, and secondly, it would stop him from thinking about anything else. But when he mentioned the word "Li" for Li Guotai's wife in Chapter 20, he suddenly felt sad and almost cried in front of Zheng Zhao.
He paused for a moment, took two deep breaths, and then continued.
When I told Zheng Zhao about it last time, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonderful parts and admire them. But this time it was very quiet, and he didn't even move much.
When the sun set and the waiter came in to hold the lamp, Li Bochen finished speaking. Then he stood up and cupped his hands: "Okay, Mr. Zheng, I'll leave first."
Zheng Zhao quickly stood up and said: "Slow down."
Li Bochen paused, and Zhang Zhao reached into his bag to take out the money. Li Boxen said: "No need. I don't need the money for the time being."
Zheng Zhao thought for a while, looked at his face, took his hand out, and sighed: "Mr. Chen, you and I have known each other for a short time, and I don't know what happened to you. But listen to me, stay here." As long as the green hills are here, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood. As long as this person is still alive, the trouble will always be over."
Li Bochen almost cried again, turned his face away and said, "Okay, thank you very much."
He went downstairs, found his horse, sat on it, and slowly headed south, leaving the city through the south gate.
The last ray of red glow in the sky had burned out. He first rode his horse slowly, then walked quickly, and then ran wildly. He remembered that he was in the same situation more than twenty days ago. But then, when I turned my horse around and walked back, I could see Xiaoman sitting alone under the tree.
He felt that his chest was extremely tight, and a trembling breath came to his throat and spurted out all at once. He finally couldn't help crying in the night, crying and shouting: "What kind of hero!? What is a hero!?"
He didn't know how long he roared, but he was so startled that the returning birds in the forest flew up, making his ears numb. When he felt that the air in his chest was finally gone, he suddenly stopped speaking, wiped away his tears and said, "Okay. I've cried enough."
At this time, the moon was rising, and he slowly slowed down his horse speed. He didn't know where he had gone, so he raised his head and looked at the moon to find the right direction. But when he slowed down, he heard the sound of horse hooves behind him, as if someone was following him from a distance.
Li Bochen's heart skipped a beat, and his first thought was: Is it Xiaoman! ?
He knew that this chance was pitifully small, but he still pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, tightened the reins with the other, and turned his head sharply to look over.
There is indeed a ride on the road. But he's just a man in black robes.
