Ep. 35: The wind is green in the south of the Yangtze River, when will the moon shine on me? 4
"Oh?" The woman in red raised her ending and did not hide her surprise at all. "Is it the girl in the Fuqin Palace that the prince wants to worship?"
Wei Tanyi didn't want to talk to her much. He squatted down by the pool, soaked his hands in the water, and silently recited the eulogy.
When the woman in red saw that he didn't answer, she was not annoyed and said to herself, "It's a coincidence that I came up the mountain for her. The owner of the Fuqin Palace wanted me to make incense for the early girl, but when she talked about the past, she covered it up, and I don't know why."
That's because he was guilty, and Wei Tanyi thought silently.
"If you want to make a fragrance, you can remember your old friend by smelling it. It's not enough to understand her. I put on her dress and walked on her usual path, but I still couldn't understand what was on her mind. What kind of person is that girl?
Wei Tanyi withdrew her hand, took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. After a long silence, she said, "She is a strange person."
The woman in red seemed to sneer: "What a strange method?"
"It is clear that everything in the world can be called back and again. People who are paranoid about people outside the world are worried about him and worry about him. They racked their brains to attract his attention, please him, and make him angry. Even when they die, they don't hear the man say the truth."
It sounds mysterious and mysterious words are completely from the bottom of my heart. Even at the age of eight or nine, Wei Tanyi also knows his love for the world like the palm of his hand. Every time he looks at the bad means of misfortune, and the master's ambiguous perfunctory, he will always be itchy, and he can't understand their anger. The former is always violent and quarrels with him. The latter always smiled bitterly and avoided answering.
The woman in red quietly said nothing behind her, and she didn't know what she was thinking about.
"Their love and hate has nothing to do with me. I just remembered that I loved face when I was young. I misunderstood her but refused to say it clearly, so..." At this point, Wei Tanyi didn't want to go on. How could outsiders understand?
There was a deep sigh behind her, and the tone of the woman in red changed slightly: "You have a shame in your heart."
"Yes," Wei Tanyi stood up, "It's just that there is no chance again."
The woman in red smiled and said, "Maybe there is still a chance to apologize. How did the girl... die?
Wei Tanyi shook his head slightly: "My heart is dead. What's the difference between people and whether people are still alive or not. If you can make spices, it's natural. If not, you don't have to force it. Not everyone can understand a person like her.
For a moment, neither of them said anything, as if they fell into the thought of the same person.
"I should go. There are some dangerous things in this pool. It's better for the girl not to get too close." With that, he turned around to go down the mountain, but the woman in red said, "Son, please stay."
Wei Tanyi stopped and looked at her strangely: "What else does the girl want to know? There are some dead things. Don't care too much about it."
The woman in red shook her head and stretched out her hand to him: "I'm predestined to the prince. Thank you for your help. I hope you accept it with a little gift." There was a small box in the palm, faintly revealing the sweet fragrance of osmanthus.
"The girl's words are heavy, and when she remembers her old friend, it is inevitable that she has something to say. The girl is grateful to listen to it, and she is ashamed to accept the gift." At first glance, it's a precious thing. Wei Tanyi doesn't want to cause trouble.
"This osmanthus kiss is not a rare thing," the woman in red said lightly, "If the prince doesn't accept it, isn't it embarrassing?"
The osmanthus kiss can be said to be not a rare thing. It seems that this woman is not a little. Wei Tanyi took it quietly and said her purpose without waiting for her to speak: "Ask." I know you have no good intentions.
The woman in red covered her mouth and smiled and said, "The prince really understands people. In the prince's opinion, does the girl's favorite person have any affection for her?
"Is this important?" Wei Tanyi sneered, "He is such a person..."
"It may not be important to the prince." The woman in red answered ambiguously, and her voice was low.
Wei Tanyi rolled his eyes with a headache, and finally said honestly, "It's not so much that I don't have it."
The woman in red stared at him, as if she couldn't figure out what he meant.
"Farewell."
Long after Wei Tanyi left, the woman in red was still standing by the Chilong Pool, and her hands were twisted white under the red wide sleeves.
Don't dare to have... Why don't you dare? What is he afraid of?
***
On the first night of leaving, the strange young man came again and still knelt at the table.
"Do you know that you are dead and that immortality is useless?" Wei Tanyi's depressed mood was even more irritable by him.
Youth Volt: "I know."
He answered like this, as if he was deliberately pranking. Wei Tanyi said angrily, "Then why are you pestering me?"
The young man was silent for a moment and replied, "My hair wife, Lian'er, is... a very good girl, but one day a Taoist priest who passed by my house told me that Lian'er was destined to live no more than twenty-five, and her life is aging faster than anyone else." Suddenly he choked, "I begged him to tell me how to save Lian'er, but he refused to say. I had to find a medicine to prolong people's life. In order to save her, I didn't hesitate to pretend to be crazy to cover up the truth, and I didn't hesitate to spend all my money to get prescriptions, let alone my life..."
Wei Tanyi was speechless and looked at him clinging to the ground and crying.
"Did she get old when she was with you?" After a long time, the young man gradually stopped crying, and Wei Tanyi asked.
"Not yet, but if I don't dare to go back, then..."
"It's useless for you to rush back now," Wei Tanyi was not angry. "You have been dead for more than a thousand years. Even if your wife has to live a long life, her bones have long turned into dust, and there is nothing left."
The young man stared and looked up at him: "For more than a thousand years?"
It turns out that the crux is here. Wei Tanyi is really speechless to the sky: "What do you think, how many generations of disciples have been passed down in Fuqin Palace? Do you still think you are a new ghost and can do anything through the wall?"
"But, but I clearly remember..."
"It's useless for you to remember anything."
Wei Tanyi dusted his sleeves and poured a glass of water for himself: "You are willing to give up everything for her, but you dare not face aging and death with her. Do you really love her?"
"I," the young man was eager to say it, but he couldn't say anything. "I..."
"That doesn't matter anymore. Because you didn't say anything, she didn't know anything.
The young man fell on the ground in panic, and his body trembled like a withered grass in the wind. In a short time, he scattered countless light spots. Wei Tanyi seemed to hesitate for a while, or opened his lips to inhale them into his mouth.
There is still a puddle of water on the floor.
Can ghosts cry? Do they cry like people when they cry?
"Sometimes I don't know what I'm doing." Wei Tanyi smiled bitterly.
There is no more haggard pain than death, and there is no more sad love than not being unable to say it.
