Chapter 161 Life is different(1/2)
Two days later, Liu did not forget to be buried.
According to the customs of Jiyang, after a person dies, he is sent to the coffin on a wooden boat and buried in the water. The wooden boat is also called the "Soul-carrying Boat". Because Jiyang relies on water, people in Jiyang believe that the Water God Queen will use a boat to carry people's souls to the other shore.
He Yan went to see Liu and did not forget his last journey.
Liu Buying lay in the wooden coffin, his expression was very calm. I don’t know what he thought of before he died, and the corner of his mouth was also smiling. He Yan put a handful of flowers in his hand on the wooden boat.
Her master-disciple friendship with Liu Buwang was actually particularly short-lived. It was Liu Buwang who pulled her out of the dead and taught her how to shoot, arrows, bow and horses. His Qimen Dunjia combined with the military books he had learned, which changed He Yan's life from then on.
If it weren't for the hand that Liu Buying stretched out to her back then, she would probably have died in the desert of Mo County. She lived again and met Liu Buying again. She thought it was a gift from God, but this fate was like a flash in the pan and disappeared very quickly.
He Yan hated that he had not said more to Liu Buying, and now he left many regrets. She had not had time to ask Liu Buying what happened to Mu Hongjin back then, nor did she have time to ask him where he had traveled over the years. She had no chance to reveal her thoughts and troubles to Liu Buying. In her life, the relationship between elders seemed not very good. She was even more weak in her parents and relatives. Liu Buying was both a teacher and a father, and now she has left.
There are always too many regrets in the world.
"Your Highness." He Yan heard Cui Yuezhi speak behind him. She turned around and saw Mu Hongjin coming.
She did not wear that red robe, but changed into black, her long hair was combed in braids, and her head was still as beautiful and powerful as before, and there was a hint of confusion in her expression. This made her look like a lost child, and she became a little fragile first.
He Yan made way out, Mu Hongjin walked forward and walked to the wooden boat.
The man on the boat had only a sword and a piano to accompany him to stay in the wooden coffin. He was so handsome and elegant when he went down the mountain, and he was not contaminated with the world when he left the world. Even though the young man in white was old, he still seemed to be a young man.
Mu Hongjin stared blankly.
When Xiao Jue said that Liu was not here, she felt unbelievable at first, but then she felt ridiculous. Then, a huge confusion came, making it difficult for her to believe that this had happened.
But what happened happened, and many things would not be transferred by human will. And she was no longer an ignorant girl. She just bury her head in the pillow and deceived herself and said she didn't believe it.
So she came.
Liu Buwang died to protect Jiyang City. Before he died, he set up a formation on the river bank in front of the gourd, making one hundred and a thousand without telling anyone.
He still said nothing as always.
This is the only man she loved in her life. Even if Liu Buying had someone else in her heart, they had already broken up for many years, but concern was concern after all. Mu Hongjin would still be sad if he died.
"Your Highness." He Yan thought for a while, walked forward, spread his palms, "Can you know this?"
Mu Hongjin slowly turned her head and saw a silver bracelet lying in He Yan's hand. The bracelet was polished smoothly and warmly, and a circle of tiny daisies could be seen on the edge. In an instant, the past scenes filled my mind, and it seemed that the old woman's kind voice fell in my ears.
"This is called the Yuexin bracelet. Buy one and wear it on the hands of the sweetheart, and you will never be separated for the rest of your life."
"Young Master Liu, have you heard that, buy one and give it to me!"
"She is not my sweetheart."
Mu Hongjin stared at the bracelet in front of her blankly, and looked at the late gift. She felt her throat tight and asked in a hoarse voice: "How come you have this?"
"Before the master died, he was holding this bracelet tightly in his hand. I think this should be very important to him." He Yan looked at Mu Hongjin, "Is this your highness's bracelet?"
Mu Hongjin took the bracelet from He Yan's hand and murmured: "I don't know."
How could she know? Those jokes back then had already fallen into the depths of memory, and she didn't even dare to take them out to recall them. She had already faced Liu Buwuwang and didn't like her, but now the bracelet was clear and clearly told her clearly that Liu Buwuwang had had herself in her heart?
How dare she believe it?
How could she believe it?
There was also a burst of powerless sorrow in He Yan's heart. Liu Buwang had already left, and no one knew what happened back then, but she still wanted to defend Liu Buwang.
"Your Highness, I always feel that there may be many misunderstandings between you and your master during the past." He Yan said: "But the man is no longer here. If Your Highness knows this bracelet, please keep it for you. If Your Highness feels embarrassed... put it back into the wooden coffin."
"But I think," He Yan whispered: "If the master is still there, he will hope you keep it."
A gift that was not given, a belated explanation, and a frank confession were probably the most regrettable thing he had during his lifetime.
But what's the use of regret? When a person dies, all the grudges related to it, whether they are willing or not, will disappear.
The story ends here.
Mu Hongjin looked at the silver bracelet in her palm, and after a moment, she slowly clenched her palms and whispered: "I understand."
Seeing her appearance, He Yan wanted to put away the bracelet, and felt a little relieved. She didn't have much to do for Liu Buwuwuwang, and now this is the only thing she has to do.
The wooden coffin was closed, and the boat was filled with wild flowers of all kinds. The willows did not forget to go down the mountain from spring. Now, they were going back to spring. The river water was clear and the boat was pushed forward, getting farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the blue waves among the mountains.
"What is the other side?" He Yan murmured in a low voice.
But who knows this? Just like Liu Buying went down the mountain to meet Mu Hongjin, she scoffed at the "lifelong life" that the woman selling flowers said.
Back then, I felt that my life was long, but I had seen a few people, heard a few songs, met and parted several times, and my life passed.
...
After Liu Buwang's funeral was over, He Yan and his party were about to set off for Liangzhou Guard.
Cui Yuezhi came to see them off, stood at the gate of Cui's mansion, and taught people to keep moving things to the carriage.
"These are all specialties from Jiyang. You can take more of them back. Liangzhou doesn't have these things."
Lin Shuanghe held his head with a fan and said, "You don't need to bring this roasted rabbit with you. It's greasy and it's not convenient to be on the carriage."
"Bring it," Cui Yuezhi insisted, "You are eating with you hungry on the road, Zhong Fu," he called the butler over, "Are Xingzi ready?"
"Okay." Zhong Fu came over with a cloth bag of red apricots, "They were washed clean. On the way, the governor and the girl were thirsty and ate two, which was both quenched and delicious."
He Yan: "…..."
I don't know what they were going out for a walk.
It's really hard to refuse the kindness.
"It's really enough, Lord Cui," He Yan smiled and said, "If you decorate more things, the Governor and I will have no place to sit."
Cui Yuezhi looked at the carriage full of stuffed, finally stopped, and smiled and said, "Okay, that's fine. You have been in my Cui Mansion for too short. It's a longer time. I will take you to the entire Jiyang City." Speaking of this, he solemnly bowed over and gave a big gift to Xiao Jue and He Yan, "This time the difficulty of Jiyang City is to be solved, thanks to Governor Xiao, Miss He, and Master Liu. This great kindness, Cui will never forget, and the people of Jiyang will remember your kindness. If you have a place to use Cui and Jiyang City in this life, Cui and Jiyang will go through fire and water, and they will never refuse."
"If Miss He has the chance in the future, she must come to Jiyang City to play more." The person who spoke was Cui Yuezhi's fourth concubine, who said with a smile: "I will stay longer next time, I will make delicious food for you."
The second aunt looked at Xiao Jue and said with a smile: "Governor Xiao is the same."
Aunt Wei glared at them, stepped forward and grabbed He Yan's hand, and instructed: "Be careful on the road."
He Yan nodded with a smile. As he was talking, someone came to pass a message outside: "Master Zhongqi, Mu Yi brought people over and said goodbye to Miss He."
Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows and He Yan asked, "Say goodbye to me?"
Mu Yi brought the people who were fifty people who planned to set fire to the Utu warship with He Yan. Among these fifty people, about twenty people died in the war, but half of them saved their lives. At this moment, the remaining twenty people heard that He Yan was leaving, and followed Mu Yi to thank He Yan.
"Thanks to Miss He," a young man scratched his head, "Otherwise we may not be in a life now. Before Miss He left, the brothers plan to thank Miss He together."
Mu Yi took out a wooden frame from his arms and handed it to He Yan: "This is a gift everyone gave to Miss He."
He Yan took it and saw that it was a wooden painting carved from a whole wood. There was a sea of fire on it. A young woman in armor stood on the bow of the ship. The woman held a long whip in her hand and her long hair was tied high behind her head. She was heroic and very eye-catching.
He Yan looked at it for a while and asked hesitantly: "Is this...me?"
"Yes." Someone said again: "We raised some money together and found the best craftsmen in Jiyang City to carve it out. However, the charm of Miss He still did not carve out. When Miss He used a whip to sink the Utu warship, it was really exciting to see it, but it was much more powerful than the carving on this painting!"
"That's right, this painting can also carve Miss He's appearance, which is not as beautiful as Miss He herself!"
"That's right, even the gods can't draw such beautiful appearance of Miss He."
At the end, there was a sound of serious praise, which made He Yan blush. Well, she felt the enthusiasm of the Jiyang men at this moment.
Cui Yuezhi looked in front of him with a smile.
Mu Yi looked at He Yan and said, "Miss He must go back to Liangzhou?"
He Yan was stunned for a moment, nodded and replied: "I still have something important to do."
"So." A trace of regret flashed in the young man's eyes. After a moment, he stared at He Yan's eyes and asked seriously: "Will you come to Jiyang City in the future?"
Mu Yi was handsome and masculine, and his sincere and slightly embarrassed eyes fell on people, which was really unbearable. Even if He Yan realized it later, he understood a little bit in the face of such a look. She was a little embarrassed and moved, and no one would be indifferent when facing a sincere relationship.
Being loved and admired is a very honorable thing.
"I like Jiyang City very much." She smiled and looked at Mu Yi, "If you have the chance in the future, you will definitely come again."
Mu Yi was stunned, scratched his head, and smiled foolishly.
"Ah," Lin Shuanghe shook the fan, leaned close to Xiao Jue's ear, and said, "I said it long ago. My sister He is so arrogant and elegant, so will definitely be likable. Look, there are so many eyeing people, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Xiao Jue sneered, as if incredible, "What's your vision?"
"Of course it's a good look." Lin Shuanghe put away his fan, "You have to know that gold will always shine."
While the two were talking, someone came out of the mansion. The man was wearing a sky-blue robe, thin and gentle. It was Chu Zhao and Chu Zhao. Ying Xiang was holding a bag in her hand.
"Second Young Master Chu?" Cui Yuezhi was stunned for a moment.
Cui Yuezhi had already learned the relationship between Chu Zhao and Xiao Jue from Mu Hongjin. The relationship between the two was not in opposition and the position was different. Mu Hongjin arranged them together, and there was certainly a balance. Speaking of which, this time, the military defense map and news sent by Chu Zhao were also very important. However, Cui Yuezhi was a martial arts practitioner, and he had a sense of mutual appreciation for Xiao Jue. Later, he fought side by side with Xiao Jue, and the balance in his heart had already turned to Xiao Jue. Therefore, he had a little politeness and unfamiliarity with Chu Zhao.
"Where is Mr. Chu going to fight?" Cui Yuezhi asked.
"I came to Jiyang this time to make the case for the ukulele. This matter has been settled, so I should say goodbye to you." He smiled slightly, "I didn't tell Lord Cui before, and I don't want Lord Cui to be troubled. In the past few days, Lord Cui should be unable to clean up the battlefield near the canal."
"He said this so well-understood that we were very considerate." Lin Shuanghe leaned close to Xiao Jue and whispered: "He is too good at speaking."
Cui Yuezhi smiled: "Young Master Chu is polite, you should say it in advance. Even if Cui is busy, there is still time to practice for Youth Master Chu. However," Cui Yuezhi looked at Xiao Jue, "If Youth Master Chu sets off today, wouldn't you be able to walk with Governor Xiao? You won't be too lonely along the way."
When Xiao Jue heard this, he looked cold and even a little bit of fun was stingy.
He Yan thought to himself that Cui Yuezhi was a little rude in his politeness. Chu Zhao was afraid that he had chosen today on purpose to set off together.
