Su Xian is now a marquis, and his status is not what it used to be. However, he has not severed ties with Lin Chuan, his former classmate who is still a good friend, and keeps in touch with him from time to time.
On the way to the back hall, he thought to himself: "I almost left for Beijing today, but Brother Lin actually came to visit me at this time. He really knows how to get stuck in time."
When Su Xian came to the back hall, he saw Lin Chuan sitting there drinking tea.
Behind him were two boys, his followers.
Su Xian walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Lin, the county school is on holiday today? How come you have time to come see me?"
Lin Chuan jumped up. He was relatively thin, but his features were pretty and charming. He bowed and said with a smile: "Brother Su, I'm here to join you!"
"Uncle Lin kicked you out of the house?" Su Xian suddenly became interested and leaned over, with an expression as if he was ready to hear gossip.
"Uh... not really."
Lin Chuan pointed to the two young men behind him and explained: "I heard that Brother Su was about to leave for Beijing, so I packed up my greetings and rushed over to prepare to go with Brother Su."
Only then did Su Xian see that the two boys were carrying a larger bundle on their shoulders, and then he frowned and asked:
"Brother Lin, tell me honestly, it's really not because you escaped from the county school and went to a brothel and was discovered by Uncle Lin?"
"Of course not!"
Lin Chuan jumped three feet high and defended with an aggrieved look:
"Father knows about this. I haven't been back to Beijing for several years. I happened to be traveling with Brother Su this time, so I can have someone to look after me on the way."
"I see..." Su Xian nodded.
Seeing this, Lin Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next moment, Su Xian shook his head and said, "Not today."
Lin Chuan's expression changed slightly and he asked hurriedly: "Why is this? I have packed all my luggage!"
Su Xian waved his hand to show comfort and said with a smile: "Zhi Lan has been feeling unwell for the past two days. I have temporarily changed my mind and will leave the day after tomorrow."
"oh……"
Lin Chuan scratched his head and glanced at the baggage on the shoulders of the two boys. Su Xian also looked over, then he looked at Su Xian again, and Su Xian also turned his head to look.
The two looked at each other for a moment.
"Brother Su, then... then I will stay in the Hou Mansion for two days, and we can set off together the day after tomorrow?" Lin Chuan finally said.
Su Xian raised his eyebrows and asked with scrutinizing eyes:
"Uncle Lin really knows that you are going to Beijing soon?"
"Of course I know, brother, I can vouch for it!"
"All right……"
"By the way, Brother Su, let's have a good discussion. We need some fun on the way to Beijing... How about we invite dozens of brothel fans to accompany us? It must be very lively along the way!"
"Uh... I'm afraid that won't work!" Su Xian shook his head and refused.
"Why?"
Lin Chuan suddenly became anxious. He was originally a handsome man, but now his eyes were bulging, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face. He looked like a monkey.
Su Xian thought for a while and explained:
"Brother Lin, today's world is seriously weakened, and I am no longer an ordinary white lady. If I bring a brothel pink head with me, I may incur criticism from others...Brother Lin, I will wrong you this time."
Lin Chuan suddenly shrank, nodded and said:
"Brother Su is right. That's okay. We won't bring brothel fans with us. It will be a great pleasure for us brothers to enjoy the world's scenery along the way..."
"..."
In this way, Lin Chuan settled in the Hou Mansion.
In a blink of an eye, time came to the next day.
September 15th.
Night falls.
Su Xian looked up at the full moon in the sky and lamented that on the 15th day of last month, which was the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, he was so busy getting married to Liu Huixiang that he failed to take Yang Zhilan to watch the moon and eat moon cakes.
He asked the maid to prepare moon cakes, then called Liu Huixiang and Lin Chuan, and sent someone to invite Yang Zhilan, intending to enjoy the moon together and spend this leisure time.
After a while, the mooncakes arrived, and Liu Huixiang and Lin Chuan also arrived, but Yang Zhilan was the only one missing.
The maid responsible for inviting Yang Zhilan came back and reported that she had been knocking on the door for a long time, but no one answered. It seemed that Miss Yang had fallen into a deep sleep.
After hearing this, Su Xian remembered Yang Zhilan's instructions in the study yesterday, waved his hand and said, "Zhilan is not feeling well, it doesn't matter, I will make sure to make up for her next month!"
Su Xian wasn't kidding this time.
On the night of the full moon next month, which is October 15th, he must catch Yang Zhilan to enjoy the moon and eat mooncakes together.
I recall that when Yang Zhilan followed him, he said that he would take Yang Zhilan to experience life and gradually achieve the purpose of curing her mental illness.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of reunion, and Su Xian doesn't want to wait until next year, even if it's delayed until October, he still has to make it up to her!
…
at the same time.
Southeast corner of Yingzhou City.
Corner Tower Street.
Yang Zhilan came to the "old place".
Here, Xiaoge leader was killed by Su Xian, and she was almost killed by Xiaoge leader. Perhaps this was the place where her soul should return, so she subconsciously came here.
The moon is very bright and round tonight.
The moonlight filtered in through the broken windows covered with cobwebs, illuminating the worn floor.
Yang Zhilan walked out of the darkness and came to the place illuminated by the moonlight. This time she did not lie down directly, but found a rag to wipe the dust off the floor.
Lie down.
Close your eyes.
Quietly waiting for fate's arrangement.
Tonight would be very difficult and painful for her.
In the past, the reason why she ran to Yingzhou was to find a place where no one knew her and to die on her own, because it was really painful when she got sick.
Even as a cold-blooded killer, she couldn't stand it.
But now, she doesn't want to die yet. Even if life is difficult, she still wants to live...
Thanks to her last experience, she knew that as long as she had a strong desire to live in her heart, she would not die easily, but she would have to endure endless pain.
As time passed, in the quiet night of the night, Yang Zhilan, who was lying on the floor in a long-abandoned wooden building, suddenly frowned and clenched her hands... Here it comes!
…
…
…
The restless night finally passed.
When the first ray of morning light came through the broken door and window, Yang Zhilan slowly opened her eyes.
She was soaked to the skin and felt weak. She climbed up with difficulty, took out a pill from the jade jar on the side and took it. It was a pill to restore her strength.
"I can live another month..."
"Compared to last time, the discomfort seems to have eased. Could it be that the disease is healing on its own?"
"Impossible! It's just because I haven't been so heavy in the past few months...the root cause of the disease is still there!"
"..."
at the same time.
Fan Yanghou Mansion.
In the living room, on the embroidered couch, Liu Huixiang sat cross-legged, Su Xian rested on her legs, her eyes closed and her brows never relaxed.
"My husband had nightmares last night, and I was frightened." Liu Huixiang gently rubbed Su Xian's head.
"I don't know what's going on..." Su Xian sighed and guessed: "Maybe it's because I'm leaving for Beijing today and I feel worried?"
"I always feel like...someone is calling my name somewhere...but I can't find her, and I can't catch her..." Su Xian's brows almost knitted together.
"How about taking another day off today and leaving for Beijing tomorrow?" Liu Huixiang suggested.
"It doesn't matter, you can just squeeze it for me. Don't delay your trip to the divine capital for too long." Su Xian said.
