Chapter 97 It's still bumpy
Zhuo Yuancan followed the hand gesture of the dove, and his heart suddenly cooled down, because Qi Kang's posture of curling up against the wall was very abnormal, curly and stiff. A hand that twisted behind him was half-curved and half-wronged, and there were still a few dead grass scattered between his fingers, and his body was also messy. It seemed that he had grabbed the grass shop hard. Zhuo Yuancan almost had a bad feeling at the first sight of Qi Kang.
He wanted to stand up in confusion, but because he sat for too long, his blood blocked his hands and feet were numb, so as soon as he got together, he fell to the ground. The man held him with a gloomy face. Zhuo Yuancan gritted his teeth and moved his numb hands and feet, so that he could slowly move to the grass.
Zhuo Yuancan stretched out his hand tremblingly and leaned under Qi Kang's nose. He accidentally touched Qi Kang's cold skin. The coldness with a deep-to-bone cold made Zhuo Yuancan almost scream. Only the dead would be so cold.
Zhuo Yuancan knelt down next to the grass. Finally, he burst into tears and cried, "Sir, what's wrong with you, sir? Wake up, wake up. You can't just leave like this. What should I do if you leave Can'er alone in the future?" The cry gradually turned into howling. Since the palace escaped for life, it was the first time that I was so painful that I couldn't be myself. Too much sadness poured out, and it was out of control.
I don't know how long it took to cry. Yuan Can, who was in the dark, remembered that he couldn't let Qi Kang lie down like this. He had to find a suitable place to bury him, so he got up and asked the Widiff if he could be allowed to temporarily put his husband into the earth for the time being, so that he could find a place for the memorial service in the future.
The mangap was still silent. It seemed that he didn't say a word when Yuan Can saw him. Yuan Can even suspected that he was a mute. When the husband went out, he still pushed up the wheelbicle and motioned Yuan Can to put Qi Kang's body into the car, but Yuan Can flinch and shook his head, "No, no, I dare not touch my husband. His body is too cold. It's terrible. It's all because I hurt him!"
Seeing that Yuan Can was so afraid, he had no choice but to point to the unicycle and let Yuan Can help him. He went to take Qi Kang out, put it on the car, and found a chisel and other things in the room and put it beside Qi Kang. The two held the car together and pushed it into an open space when they came.
Buried Qi Kang. Zhuo Yuancan sat in front of Qi Kang's grave for a long time. The eunuch ignored him and pushed the car back to the hut first. He didn't know where to go or what would happen in the future. Zhuo Yuancan recalled everything in the past over and over again. He still couldn't believe what happened in front of him. Nightmares came one after another. He I even regret why I thought it was beautiful to leave the palace at the beginning. My mother died and Lan Yu died. Now even Qi Kang died of illness due to his involvement. In fact, the damn thing may be his disaster star. Whoever follows him will be unlucky.
In the evening, Yuan Can returned to the hut and was ready to say goodbye to the dodiff. He was supposed to stay overnight and leave. Unexpectedly, something suddenly happened, so that it was delayed until the evening. But Yuan Can doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter where he lives and whether he has food or not.
However, before the eunuch hadn't finished listening to him, he pulled him into the room and pointed to the stewed meat in the pot. When Zhuo Yuancan saw it, his heart was full of flavors. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not easy for you to save some food. I'm a useless person, so don't let me waste your food." And he went out to touch the blue jade horse for a long time and turned back. The maniff who followed him said, "I'm penniless now. I can only give you this horse to express my gratitude. This is a good horse. Don't kill it. It will be useful to feed it. By the way, please take care of Mr. Qi's grave for me often. If I can still come back, I will not lose your bounty!"
Seeing that the husband couldn't stop Zhuo Yuancan, he had to wrap two pieces of rabbit meat in oil paper and give it to him to eat on the road, and pointed to the direction of the nearest village and town. "Sir, take care. If you want to find me and can't tell the direction in the future, you just need to ask Song Dahu's house in the town!" Rarely, the man finally opened his mouth to speak.
Zhuo Yuancan nodded and thanked, took his sword and put it in his hand. He left the wilderness hut without looking back, and disappeared alone in the vast night.
In the capital, Li Ren saw that there was no one around. He dodged into a narrow alley, jumped over the wall from the end of the narrow alley into another winding alley, walked for a while, and went to the right at the fork in the alley, came to a closed door, and clasped the copper ring on the door twice and three times.
After half a day, a narrow crack was opened in the courtyard door, revealing a pair of watery eyes. Seeing that it was Li Ren, he frowned with joy, "You're back. Why is it so late today?"
"When you meet a patrol, avoid it!" Li Ren replied in a muffled voice and looked around behind him again to make sure that no one noticed him, so he flashed into the yard.
"How's it going? Did you get in touch with Lang Dingyuan?" Zhen Mei asked.
Li Ren shook his head and said, "I waited for five days until Lang Dingyuan went out alone. Unfortunately, he was invited to the sedan chair by the people sent by Lou Xun."
Zhen Mei took a deep breath, "Have you been invited into the palace by Louxun? Doesn't that mean that Lang Dingyuan is also the opposite?
"Not necessarily!" Li Ren looked around the courtyard and said, "Is there any water? I'm dying of thirst. By the way, get some more water to wash my face."
"Okay, cousin Ren, wait a minute!" Zhen Mei hurriedly turned to the wing room. After a while, he brought a pot of hot water and a face towel and put it on the wooden shelf in the yard, and then brought the tea tray. When the tea tray was placed on the stone table in the yard, Li Ren had washed his face, put on a veil, and sat at the stone table.
"Mier, are you all right? No one around here has noticed you, right?
"Well, listen to you, I don't dare to go out. Although life is still shabby, it's a hundred times better than the broken house that my Mother settled in for me." Zhen Mei looked at her new home and showed a satisfied expression, "Cousin Ren, how did you find this house? No one collects rent?"
Li Ren blew away the floating tea, regardless of the heat, and even took several sips. Then he said, "No one collects rent. The owner of the house and his family have avoided disaster in the countryside. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while. Let's live first. We'll move when we find a more suitable house in the future."
Zhen Mei smiled happily, "Why does Meier think that cousin Ren is becoming more and more capable now? If there is no cousin Ren, Meier really doesn't know how to live."
"No, Meier, don't say that. Even without me, you must live well," Li Ren tried his best to keep a cold tone.
Zhen Mei pouted, "I know that Cousin Ren is full of revenge and often goes in danger. He is afraid of being tired to say such words, but Mei'er doesn't care. No matter what Cousin Ren wants to do, Mei'er only wants to be with Cousin Ren!"
Li Ren sighed helplessly, "You Meier, I'm telling the truth. If I have something good or bad, you have to take care of yourself and live well, okay?"
"I don't want to listen!" Zhen Mei twisted his body and turned his face away. "Cousin Li Ren will never have an accident. Never. Don't talk to you!"
"Okay, let's not talk about it. Is there anything else to eat at home?" Li Ren showed a begging look.
At home? The two words made Zhen Mei warm in his heart, and he wanted to cry sadly. How could she fall to this point before someone called her home?
"Yes, of course. I haven't eaten it yet. I guess you will come, so it's been hot in the pot!" Zhen Mei covered her sadness and hurriedly stood up and trotted all the way to the woodshed.
A few boiled sweet potatoes and a plate of pickles. This is their dinner. Maybe they have passed the initial discomfort period. Neither of them expressed much surprise about such a dinner. Zhen Mei explained awkwardly, "Now in autumn and winter, sweet potatoes are the most sold in the capital, and it is also the cheapest, but they don't know cousin Li Ren. Can you eat enough?
"It's better to have it than nothing, Meier, don't wait for me in the future. I don't know when I'll come back. Don't starve yourself because of it. Oh, that's right!" Li Ren put down a sweet potato he had just grabbed, took out two pieces of copper from his tattered clothes, and pushed it to Zhen Mei, "Ha ha, you see, it's not completely without gain today. Although it's not much, can you subsidize it, okay?"
Zhen Mei glanced at the copper coin and said, "Cousin Ren, what are you doing? It's just a few sweet potatoes. If you want to subsidize this, it's better to buy it directly on the street. Why eat mine again? What's more, the beads I sold are enough to last for a long time. If you do this again, I will be really angry!"
"Well, don't think too much. I don't mean to insult you. I just think it's up to you to take it for me. I'll be more at ease. I'm a beggar, and I can't have any money on my body. I can ask for two copper coins every other. Although it's not eye, I can't make a big man who always takes a woman's food for nothing. At least. Can you just take care of my face?" Li Ren gently persuaded Zhen Mei.
Zhen Mei thought for a moment, reached out and picked up the two coppers in his hand. He joked about Li Ren, "Why, now that the capital is so chaotic and depressed, is there anyone who is as stupid as me?"
Li Ren also smiled. He picked up a sweet potato again, peeled it, and said thoughtfully, "Speaking of which, these two coppers are still rewarded by Lang Dingyuan!"
"Lang Dingyuan? Why did he reward you with copper coins? Zhen Mei stopped the movement in his hand in surprise.
"I guess I'm a real begd!" Li Ren said disapprovingly, "When he passed me, I shouted, 'Give me some food, military master!' Well, he casually lost two copper coins in my broken bowl. I wanted to follow him to thank him. By the way, before his legs opened, a bodyguard-like man blocked Lang Dingyuan's road and invited him to get on the sedan chair.
"It's so dangerous!" Zhen Mei was shocked. Suddenly, he remembered what Li Ren had not finished before and asked, "Lang Dingyuan was picked up by Lou Xun's people. Obviously, he turned to Lou Xun. Why do you think it's not?"
"Lang Dingyuan is the commander-in-chief of the Huben Camp, and he is also the strongest among the five battalions of Beijing Normal University. He still need Lang Dingyuan to guard the capital, and I will take the initiative to win over him. Therefore, it is still uncertain whether Lang Dingyuan has defected to Lou Xun." Li Ren stuffed the sweet potato into his mouth and swallowed half of it in one bite. It seems that he is hungry. Not light.
"Then don't go to Lang Dingyuan. It's too dangerous whether he relies on Lou Xun or not!" Zhen Mei was worried and persuaded.
"Alas!" Li Ren solved a sweet potato and picked up another peel. "Of course, danger is dangerous, but if you don't take this risk, there will be no hope!"
"Come on, Meier, you can eat it too!" Seeing that Zhen Mei wanted to speak and stopped, Li Ren was afraid that she would be too anxious because of this, so he handed the peeled sweet potato to Zhen Mei, "Don't worry about me. I'm measured."
Zhen Mei took the sweet potato helplessly and took a gentle bite, "That's how you can be good!" Li Ren smiled and then peeled himself again.
Suddenly, Zhen Mei put down the sweet potatoes, suddenly stood up, and rushed to a corner of the yard with a dry vomiting. Li Ren was surprised and stood up and followed, "Mier? Meier, what's wrong with you? Did you eat something bad?" Li Ren asked for warmth while helping Zhen Mei pat her gently on the back.
Zhen Mei shook her head and continued to vomit. She didn't seem to eat anything, so she had nothing but to vomit some water. It was so easy to stop. Zhen Mei took out a veil from his arms to cover his mouth and shouted, "Cousin Ren, don't look at it. It's too salty!"
Li Ren smiled, stepped back a few steps, turned to get the tea on the stone table and rinsed Zhen Mei's mouth, and asked with concern again, "What's the matter? Do you want to see Lang Zhong?"
"I don't know what's going on!" Zhen Mei rinsed her mouth and replied vaguely, "In recent days, um, it's always like this. My stomach is always sore, and I feel nauseous when I eat anything..."
Li Ren was stunned and stared at Zhen Mei, "Have you been in the last few days? Do you want to eat something sour?"
"Well, I'm a little thinking about it." Zhen Mei rinsed her mouth and turned around and handed the teacup back to Li Ren, only to find that Li Ren's expression had changed greatly. "Ren, cousin Ren, what's wrong with you?" Zhen Mei took a step back in panic.
"Your Majesty, when was the last time he had sex with you?" Li Ren tried his best to restrain his anger and finally squeezed out a sentence from his teeth.
"You, what do you mean, you mean..." Zhen Mei's eyes widened and quickly searched for memory in his mind. The tea bowl in his hand also fell to the ground because of panic. The tea splashed and wet her upper feet, but she didn't realize it. Yes, the emperor stayed with her before the palace changed. Because she pretended to be pregnant with a dragon's child at that time, and the emperor also asked why she still couldn't see the traces. Zhen Mei followed what Jiaolan taught her, saying that the dragon's month was still young, and it would take two months to appear. Unexpectedly, she was really pregnant with the dragon's child.
It was at this time that the emperor, who had hardly done much responsibility as a husband, had long disappeared and abandoned her life and died. She escaped from death and met Li Ren in despair. When she thought she could start a new life, the sudden little life was in an instant. It shattered all her fantasies and made her face the extremely cruel reality.
"No, no, it's impossible. Li Ren, don't think too much. It's absolutely impossible!" Zhen Mei cried out and reached out to pull Li Ren's sleeve.
But no matter how Zhen Mei denies it, her crying has said everything. Li Ren's blood is surging, and his whole body is full of indescribable anger. Is this God reminding him that the woman in front of him once belonged to another man and will always live in the shadow of that man. What should he do? What can he do? What to do?
Li Ren slowly and numbly broke Zhen Mei's hand. However, the more he broke, the more Zhen Mei grabbed him desperately. "No, cousin Ren, don't leave me, don't leave me alone. I ate something bad. It's not what you think, it's not!"
Zhen Mei's fingers are soft and slender. Every time he moves, Li Ren will feel that Zhen Mei's fingers are going to break, but such fingers are surprisingly strong and stubborn. Just as he barely opened a finger, his sleeve was pulled desperately again. Li Ren's heart hurts. He can't bear Zhen Mei's injury, but he can't accept the suddenness. Even he felt that he had been hit in the face heavily and made an almost cruel joke.
Li Ren no longer broke Zhen Mei's fingers. He secretly carried his internal force, twitched his arm, and only heard "Hiss!" At once, half of the sleeves were torn open, and Li Ren, who escaped, left without looking back. He stepped out of the courtyard he once called home. Behind him came Zhen Mei's heartbreaking crying, which linger in his ears for a long time.
He walked through the streets in the dark, but there was no purpose. Li Ren's mind was dizzy and his footsteps were dragging. Zhen Mei's crying made him in pain. He couldn't even wait to open a cut in his chest to calm his injured heart. I don't know how many streets and alleys he has crossed. Li Ren, who had just passed through a street, almost bumped into the night patrol guard of the capital, which made him suddenly wake up. It has passed the curfew time. If he is caught, the guards will involuted to cut off his head. Li Ren hid behind the shadow of the tree and his heart pounded. Don't be caught. He Think.
Zhen Mei held half of Li Ren's torn sleeve in her hand and fell to the ground. In tears, she thought that if a person left, he would not be able to change his mind. Even if Li Ren's reaction was the most normal reaction of a man, even if his anger was reasonable, but to her , but there is only despair.
Why does she have to suffer so many hardships? Why does she have to have children for a man who never has feelings for her? If she wants to tease her, the worst thing is to die.
Zhen Mei gradually stopped crying. She slowly got up from the ground and entered the room. It was just that the family was looking for death, and she didn't seem to be able to find a suitable object. Zhen Mei thought for a moment, grabbed the only sheet in the room, tried the strength with her hand, and then went to find the scissors and prepared to tear the sheet into a suitable width. However, when she cut the scissors, she couldn't help crying, "Li Ren, I can't give you an innocent body, but I can give you a clean heart. Just look!"
Zhen Mei was cruel. A pair of scissors were cut down, and then tore them hard. The sheets were divided into two. Zhen Mei took the narrow side, twisted them into a bunch, and raised his head to find the right beam. At this time, a voice said quietly outside the window, "Okay, what's wrong with trampling? It's not enough to tear other people's clothes, and you have to tear them. The sheets?"
