Chapter 370 Old Things
As soon as Duan Yulan left, she followed her girl and left quickly. The room, which was originally full of strange atmosphere, suddenly became silent.
Silent, but it makes people feel at ease.
Duan Qingming sat in his seat and quietly looked at the direction outside the door. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Although there is still no sun outside the house. It is still a cold atmosphere of ice and snow.
Look at the hour, it's almost noon, but because of the gloomy weather, the sky and the earth are all white. Therefore, if it weren't for the hourglass on the table, it would have quietly flowed fine sand and made a fine sound, so no one would have looked at whether it was morning or dusk.
The charcoal stove in the room is still burning quietly. The endless flame warms the breath in the room, and turns the cold air attached to the door into fine beads of water. For a moment, it turns into frost, and for a moment, it draws a long line and slides down.
The little girl in the room is still busy with people, orderly and without any sound.
The door of the room is opened and closed from time to time. And those cold air come in and out from time to time.
At present, a little girl named Xiaozhu came in again. She is here to exchange charcoal. Duan Qingming's eyes were still looking out of the window. When she saw Xiaozhu's red face and the ice and snow behind her, Duan Qingming couldn't help frowning slightly - several heavy snows a few days ago had frozen together with the previous snow. The snow in the yard was swept away as usual, and the stone road with ice stubble was very slippery. Basically, as long as people go to the top, they will slip and slip.
It has been three days since the last snow. Moreover, it is the end of the year, which is the day when the ice and snow are frequent and the capital is frozen. Therefore, Duan Qingming knows that the weather will be endlessly cold. Moreover, she has reason to believe that there will be another heavy snowfall in a day or two. Therefore, the weather is not much better now.
In fact, every year now, the weather is so gloomy and gloomy that Xu is covered with a haze and can't see any hope at all.
Duan Qingming thought about it, and his mood drifted away.
She remembers that this year in her previous life, when she was ten years old, the mountains were sealed by ice and snow, and those people were displaced and homeless. As a result, those groups of hungry people starved to death and froze to death on the streets and outside the city. Even the work of cleaning up the body is not busy at all. Finally, he had to send officers and soldiers to help clean up the bodies.
Duan Qingming still remembers that at that time, the third prince Yan Lingyu was in charge of this matter.
On that day, he ran around in the winter of the Spring Festival to deliver clothes and food to the people. And reported to the emperor to release food for disaster relief. However, because he is arbitrary and cruel, he has offended many people. Duan Qingming was thinking, was it because of the snow this year in his previous life that led to the early death of Yan Lingyu?
You should know that as a prince, his identity is already delicate, and Yan Lingyu has many enemies, so his death is not unexpected - at least, it is not unexpected for those who hate Yan Lingyu...
Duan Qingming also remembered that because of his extreme inferiority, he sat in the boudoir and the door did not come out, and these news were still told by Xia Caoer. However, with the death of Xia Caoer next year, Duan Qingming completely became blind and deaf.
Duan Qingming looked out of the window and tried to recall the details of the previous life. She vaguely remembered that the ice and snow were getting bigger after New Year's Eve. At that time, ice and snow mixed with hail fell from the sky, damaging many people's houses. As the snow gets heavier and heavier, more and more people lose their home. In the end, those people either starved to death, froze to death in their own homes or froze to death in the cave. And Yan Lingyu on the same day. A plan was put forward to burn all these bodies.
However, I don't know why the emperor did not agree with Yan Lingyu's proposal. Duan Qingming tried to remember, as if the emperor was seriously ill just after New Year's Eve. Therefore, those ministers did not allow Yan Lingyu to set fire on the grounds that it was not appropriate to burn the bodies and bring these dirty gases to the capital.
Duan Qingming on that day did not feel that these hearsay news had anything to do with her. But now that he thinks about it, he suddenly remembered that Yan Lingyu's proposal was the most pertinent. Because if too many people die, the bodies will be flooded. At that time, it is likely to cause an epidemic.
Sure enough, the second year is the beginning of spring. An epidemic inevitably began to spread. At that time, people were panicked and in danger everywhere. Even Duan Qingming, who was in the boudoir, began to feel the impermanence of life.
After that, there were many things that Duan Qingming was either unclear or didn't remember. The only thing she remembers is that Yan Lingyu tried his best to cure the epidemic, but in the end, he contracted the epidemic. Although, his life was not in danger later. However, since that year, the handsome third prince has begun to be stained. Until he died of depression, the disease never recovered!
Thinking of this, Duan Qingming couldn't help drooping her eyelids. This Yan Lingyu is hateful. However, he seems to have nothing to do with himself for a period of time, right?
So, if what happened after New Year's Eve happens again, should she help Yan Lingyu?
However, since Duan Qingming was reborn, many people and many things have changed. It became, which made Duan Qingming wonder whether his previous life was a dream or a real reality?
However, this suspicion is not valid. Because many things are still going along the trajectory of the previous life. Therefore, Duan Qingming knows that she is a real existence in both her previous life and this life.
So, what about Yan Lingyu?
Will his things happen again as in his previous life? Or, won't this snow come this year? And Yan Lingyu, in the same way, will no longer suffer from the pain he has suffered in his previous life?
Duan Qingming suddenly sighed slightly and only felt that life was impermanent.
From Yan Lingyu, Duan Qingming suddenly thought of Duan Yu.
In her previous life, she was not good enough for Duan Yu. So, he died tragically in the brothel. So, what about this life? When Duan Qingming felt that Duan Yu was just a child who knew nothing, Duan Yu often said something that surprised her.
Now, Duan Yu was deliberately captured by those people. He even left food for Qiu Ning and asked Qiu Ning to bring it to Duan Qingming. And when Duan Qingming has been worried about Duan Yu's life and death, she doesn't know what this conscienceless boy is doing?
Duan Qingming sat quietly in his original seat. Her eyes fell on the window sill covered with window paper. It has been cleaned up. But there was still some residual snow on the window sill, thickly knotted and shallowly covering the whole window lattice.
Duan Qingming looked at it quietly and unconsciously became distracted.
When Xia Caoer and Qiu Ning came out of the house hand in hand, they happened to see Duan Qingming in a daze.
Duan Qingming sat quietly, with pale clothes and slightly dark light, as if sitting there was not a living person, but a stone sculpture with cold air all over her body.
Duan Qingming's eyes looked out of the window and stood at the perspective of Xia Caoer and Qiu Ning. She happened to see her calm eyebrows, her bright face, and her pair of bright eyes.
Duan Qingming's eyes are like being covered with a layer of dark light. Even in the direction of the sunrise, there is no light of a star or the vitality that should have been.
Seeing Duan Qingming's appearance, Qiu Ning's heart, "Geden" sounded.
Qiu Ning knew that the master must be worried about Duan Yu again. She knew that this matter, from beginning to end, was Qiu Ning's own fault and her own badness. Therefore, the master didn't sleep all night, and the master had such a melancholy expression... You know, the slave maidservant who involved the master should be pulled out and killed.
