Ning Que returned to Lao Bizhai. When he opened the shop door, he found that the shop door did not creak, so he remembered that it was repaired by Sangsang. He walked into the kitchen and reached into the rice vat and took out a few eggs, so he thought
It occurred to him that this was the method he taught Sang Sang when he was a child. He walked to the water tank to prepare water for cooking noodles. Looking at the full water tank, he remembered that Sang Sang had done all the housework before running away from home in the early morning.
It's over.
He walked out of the kitchen and stood silently in the courtyard for a long time.
He also carried a black umbrella on his back, an arrow box in his hand, and a hatchet on his waist. He kept running and standing for the whole day without sitting down, drinking a cup of tea, or eating anything.
At this time, he had no intention of cooking noodles, he was just thinking about something on his mind.
The neat pile of firewood in the corner and the clean tables and chairs in front of him reminded him of many memories. As for the specific things he recalled, only he knew.
There was a deserted smell in every corner of the home without Sang Sang, and he couldn't get used to it. He couldn't help but think that it had only been one day, and he was already unbearably lonely. During the more than half a year since he left Chang'an and went to the wilderness, Sang Sang had been alone.
How do people live at home?
There is a cat lying on the courtyard wall.
The cat looked up at the stars in the night sky.
Ning Que glanced at it, took out one from the pile of firewood at the foot of the wall and threw it over.
The cat, who was imitating loneliness, was disturbed, turned around and let out an angry scream at him under the wall, then jumped off the wall and disappeared.
There is no Sangsang home, no smell of fireworks, and a chill everywhere.
Ning Que couldn't stay in such a home, so he left.
Ning Que went to the Libin Court first.
The disciples of Mochiyuan in Dahe Kingdom all live here.
Shanshan also lives here.
There is a large bamboo forest in the Concierge Garden, which is still green even in winter. At this time, it is illuminated by lights at night, making it look even more tranquil.
Ning Que did not enter the Concierge Garden. He stood among the fake rocks of Jinshan opposite the garden gate and silently looked at the lights there and the figures in the lights. His eyesight was very good and he could vaguely see the deepest wing.
, there is a silhouette of a girl by the window, she is writing something intently.
Are you writing the word Ning Que, which is difficult to write beautifully?
Jing Jing quietly looked at the girl's silhouette by the window for a long time.
Then he turned around and left, heading south of the city.
To the south of Chang'an City, there is Yanming Lake at the foot of Yanming Mountain.
Ning Que stood by the lake, silently looking at the lake. The ice on the lake had melted long ago, but because the winter was still there, the ice did not completely disappear. Instead, it turned into something almost like catkins.
Under the light, it looks like countless soft golden threads.
Plop! Plop!
He picked up stones and threw them at the dim money on the lake, one after another, until he finally smashed all the ice flakes in front of him into pieces.
Previously he used dry firewood to hit the wild cat, but now he used rocks to hit the ice wadding. It was not because of anything else, but because he was very unhappy now. He felt that his world was destroyed beyond recognition, so he did not allow others to hide in their own world.
Secretly laughing at myself.
Throwing the last stone in his hand to his feet, Ning Que held his waist and panted for a long time before calming down. Looking at Yanming Lake under the night, he complained in a hoarse voice: "Don't put more eggs when frying them in the rice vat."
Oil? You're not around yet, but you still care about how much oil I put in when frying eggs? Are there any people as stingy as you? The eggs are in the rice vat and the water is in the water vat. Why didn't you say the rice was in the pot? Where were you?
?”
"What do you mean you raise me? I killed horse thieves and robbed hunters, and I have done all the dirty things in my life. I gave you all the scraps of money I worked so hard to steal, and in the end you raise me?"
"Don't say anything about me spending a lot of money. Did I drink when I was in Weicheng? Gambling... is indeed gambling, but it is not the same as to increase income for the family? When will you see me drinking and whoring?
Yes? When did I give you money when I went shopping in Chang'an City? Are you still not satisfied with this?"
Ning Que faced the big lake under the night sky, held his waist and stretched out his index finger, and angrily reprimanded like a shrew: "What do you mean you can't marry me even if you don't let me? Please tell me clearly, what exactly do you want to do?"
!What do you want to do, you little yellow-haired girl! Please tell me clearly!"
"You ask me if I have ever thought about marrying you?"
"Okay, I admit that sometimes I occasionally think about marrying you when you grow up. But you are still a little girl. You just think about it. How can you really say it? If you really say it out loud, you will never
What should you do if you want to chop me with a hatchet out of shame? Even if you don’t chop me, who knows how many people will want to chop me?”
"And even if I want to marry you, it won't affect my liking for more people, right?"
"Why should I like someone else?"
"Hey, I like to eat meat, but that doesn't mean I don't like to eat shrimps. Humans are omnivores, so what if I like to eat a few more bites of other things? What can you do to me?"
"Then what do you do?"
"You can eat with me."
"What did you say?"
"I like women, do you want to follow me and like women too?"
"Well, this does seem to make a little sense."
Hoarse voices kept ringing by the quiet lakeside.
In the bachelor's house, conversations like the above would never happen.
Because Ning Que didn't dare to say these words to Sangsang at all. He knew that once he really said that, the stubborn girl would definitely turn around and leave, never giving him any chance to save the situation, and Sangsang would definitely not
She would ask those questions, but he knew what she wanted to ask.
So he could only stand at the foot of Yanming Mountain in the middle of the night, by the silent lakeside, facing the water that he couldn't understand and couldn't refute, like an idiot, he kept scolding and startled the lake birds.
The Grand Master's Mansion was quiet at night. In the little sister's boudoir, which had been prepared a few days ago, the furnishings were extremely luxurious, and the makeup box was filled with Chen Jinji's powder.
Sang Sang used to like Chen Jin Kee's powder the most, but today she didn't even take a look at it, nor did she pay attention to the complicated greetings from the maids, she just looked at the bronze mirror silently.
The bronze mirror is very smooth, with intricate flowers and branches engraved on the side. You can tell at a glance that it is a very valuable item.
Sangsang didn't look at the bronze mirror. She just looked at the face in the bronze mirror.
It was a small, slightly dark face with unremarkable eyebrows. The hair was obviously yellowish and soft due to malnutrition. The once bright willow eyes had also become a bit dim. No matter from which angle you looked at this small face,
Not even pretty, not even comely.
"You look really ugly."
Sangsang looked at herself in the mirror and said.
From hearing Ning Que's words last night, to leaving Laobi Studio in the early morning, to meeting Ning Que again in the afternoon, she never cried or even showed any sadness because that was what she had been reminding herself of.
Don't cry, don't cry no matter what.
Those weak and slender ladies can cry while holding flowers because they are beautiful. Although you are also weak but you are so ugly, how can you have the right to cry?
Sang Sang rarely looks in the mirror because she doesn't care much about her appearance except for Bai Bai, and also because Ning Que, as a man, doesn't know how to dress up a little girl.
When she was in Minshan, the little girl would occasionally look at her face at a puddle of still water in the stream. When she was in Weicheng, the little girl would comb her hair with the wash water in the wooden basin. When she came to Chang'an City, Ning Que gave it to her.
After buying a makeup powder box, she finally had a mirror.
It's just that the mirror in the box is too small, so it's difficult to clearly reflect the entire face.
So Sangsang felt that the little black face on the bronze mirror was a little strange.
She felt that the person in the mirror was a little strange.
She suddenly disliked the person in the bronze mirror.
Sangsang shook his head and said, "You are really a very annoying child."
Sangsang in the bronze mirror lowered his head and said, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you made him worried."
"I just want to make room for him to get married."
"But you clearly know that he will not leave you alone, so you are forcing him to make a choice. He is already good enough to you, how can you be so cruel?"
"But he said he wanted to spend a lifetime together. Since we agreed to spend a lifetime together, can we have one more person? Can we still live a lifetime with one more person?"
"Why do you have to fight with others?"
Sangsang in the bronze mirror replied sadly: "But that was originally mine."
Sangsang said silently outside the bronze mirror: "But he will be very sad."
"I have never snatched something, but this time is different. Even if he will be sad, even if I become an annoying child, even if I become uglier, I will still snatch it."
Inside and outside the bronze mirror, Sangsang wiped away the tears on his face and said stubbornly with a childish look.
The morning light is faint, and the lake at the foot of Yanming Mountain reflects a faint luster.
Ning Que stood by the lake, holding his waist, panting tiredly, and murmuring a few words from time to time.
After not eating or drinking for a whole day and night, and cursing at Yehu all night long, his throat had become extremely dry and hoarse, and his face was haggard and ugly.
"My junior uncle yelled at the sky and the earth, so heroic and majestic. How can you feel when you curse at this small lake? What's more, the things you are struggling with are those little things."
A voice sounded in the forest by the lake.
Ning Que turned around and looked at the fat man, and said angrily: "How could you, a mentally ill loser who has been abused since you were a child, know that things between men and women are the real big deal?"
Chen Pipi shrugged and said, "I know you are in a bad mood, so I won't argue with you."
Ning Que asked: "Why are you here?"
Chen Pipi said: "For a certain matter, the academy held a meeting. In the end, everyone argued and argued with no results. Finally, the seventh senior sister said that we should simply take you back for interrogation to see what you really think.
, but you didn’t go to the academy yesterday, so everyone sent me to catch you.”
Ning Que's thoughts were very disordered at this time, and he didn't understand what he wanted to say at all. Thinking about the problem that made him think hard all night, he looked at Chen Pipi and asked seriously: "There is something I want to ask you.
Tell me, what do you like to eat most?"
"Crab roe porridge?" Chen Pipi touched the back of his head and asked, "Why are you asking?"
Ning Que said: "I like to eat omelette noodles the most, but if I let you eat crab roe porridge every day, wouldn't you get tired of it?"
Chen Pipi thought for a moment and then replied: "How can you not get tired of eating it all the time?"
Ning Que frowned, and suddenly thought of a more suitable metaphor, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What about the water? Will you get tired of drinking water?"
Chen Pipi said angrily: "What nonsense? If you don't drink water, you will die!"
