Chapter four hundred and sixty-ninth Huangliang a dream
Liu Mingzhi looked at the complicated expression of uncertainty and certainty intertwined on Li Ye's face, and put down his wine glass with thoughtful eyes.
The third princess saw her husband thinking secretly. Although she was very curious about who her husband and nephew were talking about, she was afraid that asking questions would break the slightly relaxed atmosphere in the room, so she had to suppress it silently.
The curiosity in my heart.
Turning her eyes and glancing at her nephew Li Ye, the third princess quickly filled their glasses with wine again.
After about half a glass of wine passed, Liu Mingzhi raised his eyes and looked at Li Ye, who had a slightly gloomy expression.
"You just said that you would definitely not misidentify her figure, which means that you only saw her figure and did not see her appearance with your own eyes, right?"
Li Ye nodded silently when he heard his uncle's question, and sighed with regret on his face.
"My uncle is right, the child did only see her figure, but did not see her appearance with his own eyes.
Therefore, the child is naturally not sure that that person must be her."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the wine glass and sipped it slowly, until the glass bottomed out before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since you didn't see her face directly, why are you so sure that you didn't identify the wrong person?
The world is vast, and there are many people with similar body shapes. Just seeing a similar figure doesn't mean anything."
Li Ye struggled with tangled eyes for a long time, and suddenly shook his head heavily.
"The children understand what my uncle said, but the child's heart tells me that the figure I saw must be her, and there is absolutely no way I can mistake her.
Her shadow is in the child's mind and has appeared countless times in dreams.
And the impression is so profound every time, how could the child admit his mistake?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye's determined expression, raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
"I won't tell you whether that person is her or not. Please tell me the specific circumstances of how you met her."
Li Ye picked up the drink again and drank it down in one gulp, pursed his lips and began to organize his thoughts.
"It was an evening eighteen days ago, and the child returned from fishing by the river as usual.
When the child was about twenty or thirty steps away from the door, he accidentally caught sight of her figure.
At that time, she was wearing a plain white light blouse, silk and silk clothes, and like the child before, she had a gauze-covered bamboo hat on her head to cover her face.
When the child saw her for the first time, she stood beside the bamboo forest outside the child's courtyard, quietly watching the child's residence.
At that time, because the child suddenly saw the beautiful figure that haunted him again, he couldn't help but whisper her name.
And when she heard the child's voice, she subconsciously turned her head and looked at the child.
The moment she subconsciously looked at the child, her behavior and demeanor were not exactly the same as those back then, but they were not much different.
Hei'er thought she would come over and meet him, but Hei'er never expected that her figure disappeared next to the bamboo forest in the moment when Hei'er was stunned.
When the child reacted and chased after her, she could no longer be seen in the world.
At first, the child thought that he was missing her so much that he was blinded by it.
While he was feeling gloomy, the child saw clearly visible footprints on the ground. The child immediately understood. It turned out that I was really not blind. There was a real person standing there just now.
At that moment, the child felt both excited and sad.
What makes me excited is that I once again saw the figure that will never leave my mind. What makes me sad is why she left in a hurry without even meeting me."
Liu Mingzhi saw Li Ye's expression suddenly turned gloomy and depressed, sighed sadly, raised his hand and tapped the table gently.
"Yan'er, continue pouring the wine."
"Hey, I'll pour you some wine right now."
Liu Mingzhi picked up the filled drink and gestured to Li Ye, then silently brought it to his lips.
"My dear, here's a toast to my uncle."
"Ye'er, you've described what happened in great detail, but no matter how detailed you are, it still doesn't explain anything.
The fact is that you only saw that person's figure from a distance, but you never saw her appearance with your own eyes.
Don't you think your idea is too childish to determine a person's identity just by looking at his figure?"
"My uncle has nothing to say in reply to what I said, but I also have my own reasons."
"explain!"
"Uncle, if that person was not her, why would she stand outside the yard where the child lives and secretly look at the child's residence?
If it wasn't her, why didn't she dare to come over and meet the child, but left directly after hearing the child's words?
This shows that she is afraid of meeting the child and is afraid that the child will recognize her after seeing her appearance.
If she was just a stranger passing by, why would she be afraid of meeting me, my baby?
The child can't figure it out, and she can't figure it out anyway, why is she afraid of me? With the relationship between the two of us, she shouldn't be afraid of seeing me.
Furthermore, if that person is really her, why would she need to visit me secretly if she is afraid or doesn't want to see the child?
The kid really can’t figure out how things could have turned out like this.”
Liu Mingzhi's pupils shrank slightly, and he put the wine glass down gently. When the third princess saw it, she picked up the jug and filled it with wine again.
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a long time with deep eyes, and nodded a few times as if thinking.
"What you said makes some sense. Apart from this, are there any other clues?"
Li Ye drank down the drink again and shook his head with a sad look.
"The short encounter was like a dream. After waking up from the dream, except for her figure in my heart, the other children could not remember anything.
The boy told himself that he definitely did not admit his mistake, that she was the person that the boy dreamed about, but the boy didn't have a shred of evidence to prove this.
If I have to say something, I can only say that this is an obsession that I can never let go of.
In fact, the child never thought of it as a beautiful dream that he thought about every day and dreamed about at night, but he could never find a reason to convince himself.
The last time my uncle and mother went to visit the child, the child told her uncle that if there was an afterlife, the child would definitely not let her down again.
The child was also waiting for this day in the next life, but God played such a big joke on the child that he accidentally saw her again."
Liu Mingzhi looked at Li Ye with complicated eyes and asked softly: "So?"
"There is no reason why, if there is this life, the child will not be willing to wait for the next life."
Reaching out to lift the wine bottle next to the third princess, Liu Mingzhi quietly filled Li Ye's wine glass with wine.
"Then the purpose of your visit to Beijing this time is not only to celebrate your mother's birthday and to pay homage to your grandfather and father, but also to find her?
In other words, the main purpose of your visit to Beijing this time is to find her!"
"Uncle, the child has taken the liberty."
As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, he picked up the jug with one hand and the wine glass with the other, poured himself into the wine and drank directly.
The third princess who was watching Li Ye's actions couldn't help but frown, and her phoenix eyes looked worriedly at her nephew who was drinking happily.
"Ye'er, drink slowly and drink less."
Until the wine gourd could no longer pour out a drop of wine, Li Ye panted heavily and sat down on the chair.
"Uncle, my child rarely asks you for anything, but this time, my child wants to ask you to help me.
My uncle knows that because of this matter, you have violated the agreement between the two of us without authorization, and you will be very angry, but my child really has no choice.
As long as there is some other way, the child will not do anything that violates the agreement.
But, I really want to see her again. Even if that person is not the one I can't let go of in the end, I still want to see her.
At the very least, if it is confirmed that it is not her, the child can give up.
Uncle, please help me, kid."
Liu Mingzhi fell silent after listening to Li Ye's pleading words. He was silent for a long time without speaking.
Not sure how much time had passed, Liu Mingzhi quietly drank the remaining glass of wine in front of him and lit another pot of tobacco.
"Ye'er, do you think it's possible for my uncle to spend countless manpower and material resources to find someone who has been dead for many years?"
