If the Water Margin

Chapter 120 Atmosphere

Wu Song

Wu Song has moved into the house for so long and has never had such a dinner. Wu Song, Haisha, Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law ate at the same table, which made Wu Song feel very happy. This is the real feeling of home.

But he was also troubled. He suddenly felt that the dining table with sea sand was a little strange. Wu Er didn't know what he should say, and the sea sand was also silent. Now Haisha has passed the freshness of just being able to walk normally, and Wu Song has also retreated from that joy. The two have not said much since they got married. The limited few conversations are very rich in content because of the tight time. Now that there is suddenly a lot of time for two people to communicate, Erlang has racked his brains to come up with all the topics he came up on this spare afternoon, so he became silent at this most talk table. It's not that Wu Song doesn't want to say, but that he doesn't know what to say. For the first time, he felt so useless.

Erlang looked at Haisha. He hoped that Haisha could give himself a gentle look or ask about his daily work, which was at least not embarrassing. But when Haisha eats, it is as quiet as a kitten, bowing its head and chewing every bite.

Erlang suddenly understood that Haisha is probably not used to it. In the past, as Pan Jinlian's maid, she naturally kept silent when eating, and then married herself. Most of the time, she also ate alone. Her physical strength did not allow her to speak at all.

But it doesn't matter, as long as the sea sand doesn't feel embarrassed. Erlang thinks so, as long as she doesn't feel that she marries a boring man.

Wu Song turned to Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law. Usually, when Haisha is not there, if the three of them eat together, Lao Wu and Wu's words are continuous. Most of the time, Wu's sister-in-law is rebuking Lao Wu, and Lao Wu is making futile excuses. This used to be Wu Song's favorite scene, whenever he sees Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law happy. The smiling dialogue will be full of all kinds of beautiful longing for our future and Haisha's life: when Haisha is in good health, we will also want the same love as Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law, give birth to a few children, and then have such an interesting dialogue when we eat.

It should be said that it was Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law who completed Wu Song's concept of family. The memory of parents is very vague in Erlang's mind. In the limited fragments, the parents have always been working hard to survive, and they have few words. As for the brother and Pan Jinlian, their relationship is more like a master and a slave. Wu Song has never seen love and family in them. However, the little things in the life of Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law deeply moved Wu Song, which also made him have a more specific fantasy about his life with Haisha.

Yes, a man and a woman should be like this.

However, it is sad today. At the first day of dinner when the sea sand could act independently, the room was silent. During this period, Erlang could hear the sound of Lao Wu's buttocks rubbing against the chair. The silence made Lao Wu feel very uncomfortable. Many times even Wu Song had felt that Lao Wu's words were about to come out, but he immediately swallowed them back. This is all because of Haisha. Lao Wu is very good at observing words and colors. Naturally, he dares not say anything when the hostess doesn't talk during dinner.

A question suddenly popped up in Wu Song's mind: whether the sea sand is good or bad. For this problem, Wu Song thinks that he should not hesitate to think that this is a good thing, but now look, the good sea sand has destroyed the only family atmosphere in this house. If it is like this every night in the future, is this really what he wants? It's like continuing the story of his parents and Wu Da and Pan Jinlian. It is also the hope that Haisha can get better - that blood stone actually gave himself an idea that it was unfavorable to his brother. This is a great rebellion, which will be struck by lightning. Don't say or do this kind of thing. Even if you think about it, it makes Erlang feel extremely guilty. He constantly condemns his ideas, but in front of Haisha's smiling face, he can't suppress the spread of murder. If the sea sand still lies like that, none of these things will happen.

No! Erlang stopped his thoughts in time. Haisha is a good girl and a girl she cherishes. She is very kind. Her fate is full of twists and turns. There should be no discount on her love, otherwise she will definitely be doomed. Haisha, who was deceived by Pan Jinlian once, if she finds that the love she gets is not so pure, even if there is only a trace of flaw, maybe hatred will crawl all over her body again, and the flame of revenge will instantly turn all beautiful ideas into nothing. This is a feeling that can never fail for sea sand, and I am the protector and savior of sea sand, and I must bear this responsibility!

What's more, I really love Haisha, Wu Song thought. My future life with Haisha must be very beautiful. Haisha is just not used to it. Slowly, she will have so many words full of love when she hears and listen carefully like Mrs. Wu to Lao Wu. In the cold winter night, we can also hug and sleep and have the most thorough communication in our dreams. This Some are still expected. I can see that I will definitely get that kind of life in the near future. Haisha must also think about it. She must be like me, yearning for family and this kind of love maintained by communication.

It's just that she can't do this now, because she can't be regarded as a completely living person. Yes, although the meteorite ring can make her move freely, how can her body be so cold if she is alive? The meteorite ring represents the power of the King of the Dead, which makes people a little indifferent and normal. Although Qi Si is a living corpse, if it is me, I will definitely have a lot of unbearance when I kill him again, but I clearly remember that last night, when I smashed his head, I only had endless pleasure in my heart.

Yes, this silent sea sand is not real sea sand. But she must wear the ring. You see, how happy she is after she can leave by herself. She no longer needs others to feed her mouth. The feeling that seems to be useless must be uncomfortable.

All this is my brother's fault! Wu Song straightened out his thoughts and got such an answer that surprised him, but no matter how he thought about it. If he doesn't eat the blood stone that is useless to him, the sea sand is at least half a living person now. She will definitely look at me with a loving smile at today's dinner. Her body must be full of warmth like a lamb in spring and will gently hug me. Maybe tonight she can Sow the seeds that belong to my Wu Song. It is his brother's greed for things that should not belong to him at all, taking away the health of the sea sand, the family I have been waiting for so long, and the warmth I have been longing for.

Brother, I have been very obedient since I was a child. No matter what you ask me to do, even if I don't want to do it, I will try my best to complete it. When I was in Qinghe County, it was obvious that you killed someone, but when I heard it, I helped you down without hesitation, and then went away from home and wandered around the world. You don't know how hard it is to walk around the world, hungry and full of all kinds of dangers, and my heart is also full of unspeakable fear and trembling.

When I was walking around the world, I once met a man named Song Jiang. It was he who told me that the life lawsuit on my back was no longer matter, and told me that you were in Yanggu County. At that time, I felt that this was a person who gave me hope, but now I have a feeling that hope has been taken away.

Yanggu County, which is desolate, doesn't know how to conquer a full army of soldiers, but its heart is right but trapped in an evil and cold family. Erlang suddenly had an impulse to burst out all his accumulated feelings, and he wanted to cry loudly. But on such an occasion, the wife and domestic servants are present. They are the capital of Yanggu, and the hero in the eyes of everyone can't cry.

Erlang swallowed a mouthful of rice, and he felt a little salty taste of tears in his mouth. The rice was mixed with a unique salty taste, which looked particularly delicious.

This unique taste also made Erlang suddenly feel his gaffe. Just now, after thinking about so many messy things, although Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law did not say it, they must be guessing in their hearts. This is not good. I don't want to be a joke they talk about before going to bed.

Wu Song decided to find a topic by himself.

"This dish tastes good tonight. It seems that a new cook has come to Guihualou." Wu Song thinks that eating should start with the dishes. There must be no problem with this topic. What's more, he really thinks that today's dishes are good. This is because he is in a bad mood and makes some discounts, otherwise he will definitely feel better.

"That's what it is." Lao Wu quickly swallowed what was in his mouth, and then continued, "When I went to the Osmanthus Building tonight, I found that there were very few guests. Probably the cook in the kitchen was relatively leisurely, and no one urged the dishes, so I can give full play to all my skills. Today's dish is really delicious." Old Wu nodded approvingly, and then opened his mouth and made a very enjoyable look.

Wu Song saw Mrs. Wu's eyes slanting Lao Wu. Lao Wu immediately stopped this very enjoyable action and looked formal like a child who wanted to make a mistake.

This is the usual dinner. It seems that Lao Wu and Wu's sister-in-law have not changed, but they are a little reserved about the existence of Haisha, and Erlang is a little sad.

"There are very few guests? Then my brother has to jump up in a hurry. I know my brother and is very concerned about business. He must investigate why there are suddenly fewer people today. In the past, when he was in Qinghe County, if the daytime pancakes were sold a few less than yesterday, he would seriously summarize the reasons. Wu Song couldn't help laughing when he said this. He hoped that his relaxed memory could straighten his crazy head.

"Bang." Lao Wu gently put down his chopsticks. Today's room is particularly quiet, so even this soft sound is a little harsh to Erlang. It seems that Lao Wu has to say something seriously, or he can't put his chopsticks.

Sure enough, Lao Wu wiped his mouth and said, "Dou, you're wrong. This afternoon, your brother went out alone, and the people in Guihua Tower don't know where to go. So your brother definitely doesn't know about bad business at night, and there is no way to talk about it. However, Liu Lin seems to have sent the clerk named Zhang Shu to check the reason why there were few guests. When I went there, I happened to hear the reason. Old Wu's expression is mysterious, and it seems that he is going to sell it.

Although Wu Song was more interested in what Wu University went to do, Lao Wu's attitude was very relaxed when he said that Wu University. On second thought, if his brother is such a big man, it won't be okay to go out for a walk. Moreover, Lao Wu is full of talk. Don't destroy this good atmosphere. Erlang believes that such an atmosphere can also infect the sea sand and let her join in. So Wu Song asked very cooperatively, "What the hell is going on?"

"You just don't know anything about this. It is said that a star has appeared in the eastern sky since the second half of last night." Lao Wu stretched out his finger and preached vividly.

"Of course there are stars in the sky. What's so strange about this?" Mrs. Wu said disdainfully: "You have to say that it's a new thing to see the sun in the sky at night."

"What do you know about your long hair?" The moment Lao Wu spoke, he suddenly stopped talking. Wu Song understood Lao Wu's embarrassment. There was also a woman at the dinner table, that was Haisha. Lao Wu's words were equivalent to bringing Haisha in, but Lao Wu did not mean it. Erlang believed that Haisha could also understand. Lao Wu paused and then said, "This star is unusual. It is dark red and drags a tail."

"Stars with tails?" Mrs. Wu pulled her voice very high: "Isn't that a broom star? Don't you know how old Wu is? It's unlucky to see the broom star. Fortunately, you are so happy to talk about it.

"I'll talk to you. Can you not interrupt me all the time? My wife is also here today. Can you let me talk about this new thing completely?" Lao Wu's face was a little hung up, and his voice seemed to be a little impatient.

"You say, you say." Mrs. Wu waved her hand and then looked helpless. Erlang knew that Wu's sister-in-law was very good to Lao Wu and usually paid attention to protecting Lao Wu's face in front of outsiders.

After clearing the obstacles, Lao Wu began to narrate very formally. His expression made Wu Song suddenly have a feeling of hearing about the ancient story on the streets of Qinghe as a teenager: "Just now, my mother-in-law said that it was a broom star with a tail. This is indeed true, but any of you have heard of a red broom star? Just now, before dinner, I specially stood outside and looked at it. There was indeed such a star, dark red, as if someone had been dipped in blood in the sky. After the blood dried up, it turned dark red. During the day, there was a sudden saying in Yanggu County that this was a fierce star, and its birth heralded something that might be dangerous. Lao Wu did not say the word "emperor", but gently pointed up with his hand. This is Lao Wu. Even at the most relaxed time, he was actually cautious about the details, and then he continued to say, "Many people really believe these statements because they cooperate with the heavenly phase. However, there is another saying about this star. Another saying is that this star represents the birth of a great hero. This great hero will reorganize rivers and mountains, completely sweep the frontiers, and then sweep away the treacherous ministers in the court, making the Song Dynasty a truly peaceful and prosperous era, not just in the mouth of officials. There are many Yanggu people who believe this statement. These two views have actually been debated in Yanggu for a day, but I didn't go out on the street, so I just heard about them now. This debate is good. People who didn't know this star also know it. People have a curiosity and want to see this wonder that they have never heard of. In the middle of the night, after all, there were only a few people who could see the star. You said that you can't see this star in the Osmanthus Tower, so naturally there are fewer people in the Osmanthus Building. . According to Zhang Shu's investigation, Yanggu is almost empty today, and they all went to the open space to see this star. You can eat rice at any time, but you can only watch the stars at night. Liu Qianfang also said that if it was summer, Guihualou would definitely put the table outside and let everyone eat while watching, which would definitely make a lot of money. It's a pity that I didn't have a good time." Lao Wu shook his head gently while talking, with a gentle sigh and regret. The expression and tone are similar to Liu Lin's, and Lao Wu's story is really full of emotion.

Wu Song does not believe in stars. When he traveled around the world, he had a Taoist priest who told him that the stars in the sky had their own rules of operation and would never change because of what happened in the world. The world and the stars are like two completely independent worlds, which have nothing to do with each other. Astrology is just a trick of charlatans. The court has a government office specializing in the study of stars, such as "lone stars with the moon" and "Mars rushing to the sun" can be calculated, which does not mean anything great. So Erlang thought for a moment, this star is probably the same thing, but it's just a name he has never heard of. Maybe the government office that managed the star has already calculated it.

But stars are really a good topic. If we can look at this strange star with sea sand, it may make us have more topics. Wu Song made up his mind.

"Sea sand, this star looks really strange. I guess it's quite fun. Why don't we go to an open place to have a good look after dinner? I can definitely warm the sedan chair. If you sit in the sedan chair and wear it warmer, you won't feel cold. Wu Song believed that cold should be the only reason for the sea sand to refuse, so he thought of a solution in advance.

"No!" Haisha was resolute and bit his lips tightly: "I don't look at any comets."
