It turns out that the only thing in the world that cannot be deceived is your own heart. It always exposes your joys and sorrows when you are least careful.
After returning from Yixianju, Li Kuo was worried. Yang Xuan's words were like a sharp cone, piercing deeply into the wound on his chest, making the scar bigger and bigger. The tender flesh that had grown out,
No new skin that comes out can cover that twisted and horrific scar. Once the damage is formed, it will take root and penetrate deep into the heart of the person, never to be repaired. All people can do is smear it around it.
, as a cover-up to deceive oneself and others.
How can we express some pain, how can we express it, where should we express it, and when should we express it?
He couldn't let go, he really couldn't let go.
It was pain that penetrated into the bones, and it was a living betrayal.
Did Gao Xiuyan really have any dealings with the Tubo people? The defection in the Jiuqu City battle was not just because of Li Linfu's personal grudge against him...
In the new house of Qinrenfang, Li Kuo sat alone on the first step, staring at the night sky in trance.
"Guess who I am!"
Suddenly, his eyesight went dark, and a pair of plain hands were already covering his face.
"Other than my eldest daughter, A Tian, who would have the leisure and leisure to joke with me?" Li Kuo sighed and moved his mother's hand away.
"Oh, you are such a boring person!" Unexpectedly, the young man was so perfunctory to him. Du Jingtian raised his eyebrows, put his hands on his hips and shouted: "Moving to a new house today is a great thing, and we should celebrate it well.
You and that Yang Xuan went out to have wine and drinks without me. You've been sullen since you came back from the fight. My aunt is so old that it's hard for the whole family to get together for dinner, but you're like this,
Such..."
Li Kuo shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "A Tian, there are some things you don't understand."
"Oh, I don't understand. You are the only one who understands, right? I went to have a drink with that Yang Xuanshan today. I drank a few kilograms of flower wine and hired a few oirans to sing with me. Please tell me the truth!"
Li Kuo stood up and held Du Jingtian's shoulders and said, "A Tian, I don't want to quarrel with you now. Just leave me alone for a while, okay?"
"You said I was quarreling with you? Oh, you, Li Qilang, have become a general, don't you look down on me, a commoner? I, Du Jingtian, have no eyesight, should I come closer to you? Okay, it's my aunt, I'm a bitch.
, I can’t afford to offend him, why can’t I afford to hide away?” My little mother said, throwing off her sleeves and running towards the back house.
"A Tian!" The young man stood up and stretched out his hand to call to his mother.
"Ignore me, I won't eat any fried eggs from now on!~~~"
"Alas!" With a long sigh, Li Kuo shook his head and sat down on the stone steps again. Normally, he would have rushed forward to apologize to his aunt, but now, he didn't have such thoughts.
At this moment, the moonlight in front of him dimmed, and a dark shadow emerged.
Turning around, I saw a jade face as plain as white and as soft as Bodhi.
"Sir, it's cold at night, please add some clothes." Shen Liniang put a green shirt on Li Kuo's shoulders and smiled gently.
"It's Liniang, it's so late, haven't you slept yet?" Li Kuo nodded to Shen Liniang and asked in a friendly voice.
"Isn't the young master sleeping too? Yi Liniang thinks that the young master must have something on his mind." Shen Liniang simply lowered her body and sat on the stone steps a foot away from Li Kuo.
"Liniang often heard people say that good music is easy to score, but it is difficult to find a close friend. There is a saying that 'the five notes on the seven strings are cold, and it has been difficult to know the right tune since ancient times.' When Liniang was in danger, she was saved by the young master, but she didn't know how to repay her. .Although Liniang is not talented, she has seen everything in the world over the years. I wonder if the young master is actually like Yu Boya and can tell her heart to heart?"
Shen Liniang spoke softly and slowly, just like a warm wind blowing into the young man's heart in the cold winter.
Li Kuo smiled and said, "That's all, let's talk to Liniang." After thinking for a moment, Li Kuo refreshed himself and slowly confided: "Once upon a time, there was a farmer who had two sons. Because his wife died early, He raised his two sons by himself. The eldest kept his own rules and treated others with courtesy. Because he could write well, he gained a good reputation among the township party, so he opened a shop in the village and made a living selling calligraphy. The second son, however, liked He causes trouble, doesn't do anything to make a living, and gets into trouble every now and then. But the villager loves the second child, and always protects the little kid whenever something goes wrong, and keeps any good food for the second child." (Note) 1)
With a long sigh, Li Kuo looked at the stars in the night sky and said: "The boss saw these things in his eyes and did not say a word of complaint. He thought that we are all brothers, why do we care so much? The days are passing day by day, and the old man is getting older. As he grew older, he no longer worked in the fields. The whole family could barely survive on the money the boss earned from selling calligraphy. Later, a group of green forest bandits came to the village, burning, killing and looting. The village leader called on everyone to rise up and resist, and the old man shouted Two sons came. They carried hoes and came to the entrance of the village. They saw the group of bandits. The eldest son, who was not proficient in martial arts, rushed forward and fought with the bandits." (Note 2)
There was a slight surge in his throat, and Li Kuo gave a bitter smile; "There were more and more robbers around him, and the boss was gradually losing his strength. Just when he was wondering why his younger brother didn't step forward to help him, he suddenly felt a chill on his vest, and a dagger had been inserted into his chest. He looked back and saw that it was his younger brother who had stabbed the dagger. In fact, his younger brother had already gone up the mountain and escaped the bandits. It was his idea to rob the village this time. And his younger brother was afraid that he would be separated. After getting rid of his family property, he planned to do whatever he could to get rid of himself while the bandits were plundering the village."
"This second brother is so shameless!" Shen Liniang clenched her fists after hearing this: "He actually ignored the safety and interests of the entire village and actively colluded with the bandits for his own benefit! The most shameless thing is that he He actually killed his own brother!"
"Unfortunately, the boss was not yet dead. The county magistrate got wind of the news and led the villagers to suppress the bandits. When the second boss saw that something was wrong, he changed his attitude and stood like a villager again..."
"There are still such shameless people in the world!" Shen Liniang shook her head: "This guy can change his face faster than an actor, what can he do?"
"The county magistrate only saw the second brother actively suppressing bandits, so he gave him a large reward. However, because the boss was injured, a lot of the credit was taken away by the second brother. The boss didn't care about the silver reward, but he didn't know how to deal with it. To his father and all the dead villagers in the village."
Li Kuo breathed a sigh of relief and finally finished telling the story.
"What else are you thinking about? Go to the county government to report the second brother and ask for an explanation for the dead villagers!"
Although Shen Liniang was kind-hearted, she couldn't stand such dirty things and came up with ideas for the boss.
"Except for the dead bandit, the rest of the bandits ran into the mountains. Except for the boss, almost no one knew about the evil deeds of the second brother. Even their father was kept in the dark. If the boss rashly went to the county government to report the second brother , I am afraid that not only will I not win the support of the county magistrate, but I will also be accused of framing my own brother."
Li Kuo shook his head and revealed the boss's unspeakable secret.
"If that's the case, it would be a bit difficult to handle."
Shen Liniang was helpless for a moment and lowered her head.
"What's so difficult about this? The boss might as well secretly collect the evidence that the second brother colluded with the bandits, and when the time is right, report them all to the government!"
Zhou Wuwei and Zhang Yanji stepped into the second door, and Zhou Xiaolangjun's fat cheeks only trembled before he gave the answer.
Note 1: Broken baby: Guanzhong dialect, describing the youngest child.
Note 2: Cunzheng: This position was first placed in the 15th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 642). According to the record in Volume 3 Shihuo 3 of "Tongdian", "The village was taken from Bai Dingchong, where there was no one, and Li Zheng and others were combined. The main responsibility of the village leader is to be responsible for local inspection. Once there is a theft incident in the village, he will immediately report it to the government. Therefore, the story compiled by Liu Yun is reasonable.
