Ukiyo heave

But when Nian Sheng opened his eyes, he found himself in Qianhuandu.

In front of him is the small house that stands still as before. There is a mahogany pendant hanging in front of the door, and a long light-colored necklace is tied under the pendant. It flutters with the wind, giving people a feeling that the owner of the house is still alive. The illusion of harmony and happiness.

But when he turned around, he saw the empty Suijun Lake in his eyes, and Jiang Dongshen was not standing beside him or behind him as usual.There was no one around him.

But Nian Sheng's heart tightened, and he ran to open the door of the small house.

There was no Jiang Dongchen who was sitting quietly in the room as expected.

He didn't sit at the desk reading poems and writing, he didn't pull Ruan Ruan on the bed to tease the cat, and he didn't work in the side room for breakfast.

nowhere.

However, instead, as soon as the door was opened, the dust rushed to his face, making Nian Sheng cough for a while, but he didn't care to go in after coughing, and walked in with his nose covered, but he saw that he was not folded neatly The quilt was quilt, and there was a mess of wool in the cat litter next to the pillow.Turning around again, the books and papers on the desk were scattered all over the ground in front of the desk and the bookcase.All covered with dust.

Also in the side room.

On the table, on the bed, on the stove, all the places where many good memories have been left, are all covered with dust without sparing any effort.

Defeat that spares no effort, depression that spares no effort, without the slightest breath of life.

Without Jiang Dongshen.

Nian Butsheng turned around in confusion—what the hell is going on.

Suddenly he heard a vague whisper coming in through the closed window.It reached my ears, so low that I wanted to sigh softly.If it wasn't for Nian's sharpening of his five senses, he probably wouldn't have noticed this slight noise.

Before his brain responded, Nian Qusheng had already taken a step reflexively.

Subconsciously, she turned around and took a step, opening and closing the door.When he was about to walk around the back of the house, he realized that the voice should be Jiang Dongchen.

Carved in the blood, in the heart, in the soul, in the dream.Nian Quesheng knew it was him when he heard the voice, and he couldn't be wrong.

Then Nian raised his eyes, and saw a man kneeling with his back to him, twenty steps away from the house, under a colorful silk tree.

He was dressed in white, with warm jade and southeast branches hanging from his waist, his hair was scattered all over his body, his white wrists were exposed under his wide sleeves, his expression could not be seen, only he was touching a stone tablet in front of him repeatedly, his back was very Is lonely.

Nian Butsheng walked towards him, and softly called his brother.

Jiang Dongshen acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and he was still stroking the stone tablet and speaking, his voice was extremely low, and he could only hear fragmentary sentences like "Take care" and "Goodbye".But Nian Sheng walked up to him, and wanted to pull him up and tell him that the ground was cold, and he saw the stone tablet in front of him.I was taken aback suddenly.

The stone tablet clearly reads "The Tomb of Quesheng in the Year of the Daoist".

There is also a line of small characters in the upper right corner, "The widow: Jiang Dongchen."

Nian Qusheng was shocked and speechless, so he knew it was a nightmare, but he couldn't wake up.It's been like this since childhood.Before the age of eight, I often dreamed of being stabbed through the chest and abdomen with a knife while conscious.The plot suddenly shifted to the back mountain of Nian's house, where Yuxue's lovely younger brother at that time pushed him into the mass grave with an innocent smile.After the age of eight, he often dreamed that a woman with an unclear face but who claimed to be his mother was strangled to death in front of him.Dreaming of a wild cat with green eyes, dreaming of Nian Fengling strangling his neck with a spirit ring, being skinned and convulsed without any resistance, watching his legs being stabbed one by one, and finally falling For bones.Just as he was about to escape in shock, a short knife was aimed at his eyes.

And later, when Zhenmengshan relived the past, the sharp whips hit him, and every time his skin was torn apart, the pain was extremely real.

Painful and helpless, desperate to die.In a dream, I can clearly perceive everything that has happened or not happened, but I just can't wake up.

Nian Quesheng suddenly broke out in a layer of cold sweat, and called out in a trembling voice, "Brother."

Jiang Dongshen still didn't respond, and spoke to the stele in a gentle voice, with a gentle tone and a calm face.If it wasn't for his haggard appearance, no one would have guessed that the person in the tomb was his unforgettable love.Jiang Dongchen looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and then looked back.Nian Quesheng was standing right behind him, but his eyes were looking directly at their house through him.But Nian Sheng didn't have time to feel sad, so he said first, "I don't want to do this again."

Nian Kesheng knew that these words were not meant to him, but he subconsciously continued, "Don't want to do anything else?"

Jiang Dongshen looked back for a long time, finally sighed and continued to turn to the stone tablet, and said softly: "Ah Sheng, I am so close to our home, but I have never stepped in."

"It's been so many years, I can't do it if I'm asked to see things are right and people are wrong."

The tone was so calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. He deliberately suppressed and endured all the emotions in his heart, and then said very calmly: "Unless you come back."

Nian Kesheng bent down and knelt beside Jiang Dongchen, wanting to reach out and pinch his wrist, telling him to take a look at him.The hand reached out, but it went straight through Jiang Dongchen's moon-white sleeve, leaving nothing.

Jiang Dongshen was still speaking softly, but Nian Shengsheng's panic and struggle had nothing to do with him, Jiang Dong said in a low voice, "You know I never dreamed of you."

But Nian was stunned, his eyes felt hot, and some water mist almost appeared in the haze.Jiang Dongchen curled his fingers slightly on the stone tablet, and said: "I don't want to do this anymore, it's really hard to be alone, I can't find someone to talk to me, I want to see you smile, I want to Hear you call me brother again, you can hug me, kiss me, whatever you want. But where are you. "

"Ah Sheng, if I knew that we would experience life and death in the future, I would definitely not refuse you if you wanted to hold hands and hug me in a crowded place."

Jiang Dongchen bit his lips, and said again: "If you call my wife again, I won't answer."

Jiang Dong thought deeply, then suddenly raised his eyes and said, "You never let me dream of you because I used to be too concerned about face, so do you blame me?"

After a pause, he said again: "Ah Sheng, brother is wrong."

Jiang Dong lowered his head, his tone was still very indifferent, and he said many trivial things tirelessly: "Look at the acacias behind our house, don't you have been looking forward to it? I just went up halfway up the mountain and went down Look, it's red, very beautiful. And I found a house on the mountain. I don't know who lived here before. I knocked on the door but no one answered. Maybe the owner of the house has moved to another place and left for a long time. Right. Hmm... There seem to be fish in Suijun Lake. Yesterday I saw one or two fish passing through the cracks in the rocks. One was black and the other was white. But I was still a little afraid of the water when you were not here. It still looks very beautiful. But if you look at it, maybe you have already thought about our dinner today. One steamed and one braised in brown sauce, let me make it, right?"

Jiang Dong smiled deeply: "But I haven't cooked for a long time, and my hands are very raw. I don't know if I can make another pot of sweet porridge, whether it can be sweet enough to suit your heart."

Jiang Dongshen closed his eyes and listened to the wind, and was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he smiled bitterly for no reason, and said quietly: "I invited An Zhi and his couple over this afternoon, I just hope they won't be scared by me, An Zhi is a smart person , You can probably guess why I called him over."

A bad premonition suddenly flashed in Nian Quesheng's heart, and he looked at Jiang Dongchen, but he didn't catch his hand, but he opened his eyes and said in a very relaxed tone: "I just said that I don't want to do this anymore. , so Ah Sheng, this is the last time I talk to you like this here. I don’t want to live this kind of life anymore, I’m not happy at all. I don’t know how the couple hoped for An Zhi’s return alone. ——That’s all, Don’t mention them, just stay well there, don’t rush to reincarnate, wait for me.”

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Dong called out in a deep voice, "Southeast Branch."

But Nian Sheng's heart shrank suddenly, and he immediately reached out to grab his sword.The whole person threw himself in front of Kong Kong's body, watched the sharp blade press into the white throat, and suddenly burst out a ball of dazzling blood without hesitation, which bloomed before Nian Quesheng's eyes, the color was incomparable distinct.

The body fell, the sword fell, Jiang Dongshen was already very thin, and the sound of falling to the ground was not as loud as the clang of the sword.

Nian Sheng couldn't believe it, and tried to feel his breath with trembling hands, although he couldn't find it, but the untouchable body seemed to be getting cold little by little.

First the fingertips, then the arms, the limbs cooled piece by piece, and the remaining warmth rushed to the chest, and finally it seemed to be blown away by the wind, dissipated and disappeared.

But Jiang Dongshen's expression was still indifferent and gentle, as if he just lay down and pay attention, he would wake up in a while, tilted his head with a gentle smile, his eyes were filled with thousands of stars and lights in the world, and called: "A Sheng .”

Ah Sheng, it's the hour of the morning, it's time to wake up.

Ah Sheng, come over for dinner.

Ah Sheng, go and get the apples in the basket.

Ah Sheng, go to the side room to take a shower.

Ah Sheng, it's okay, don't be afraid, brother is here.

But Nian knelt down next to Jiang Dongchen with a plop, and touched his empty wrist, trembling and flustered, calling intermittently: "...Brother."

The sky outside the window was still bright, and there was a hint of paleness in the dark night. Jiang Dongshen was still asleep when he suddenly felt Nian Qusheng's body tremble and his heart beat violently.After a while, he called his brother in a trembling voice.

Is it a nightmare?Jiang Dong Shen raised his face to look at him.

It was not real in the gloomy light, but I vaguely noticed a tear mark in the corner of Nian Kesheng's eye, a small drop of unbeaded tears fell down that mark, like a small light and shadow passing by, so fast it was hard to detect.

Ah, that's right, every time he has a nightmare, he cries like this, but he hasn't had a nightmare for a long time.

Jiang Dongchen got up a little bit, trying to wipe away his tears, but suddenly Nian Jiesheng withdrew his arm as if he had been robbed, and Jiang Dongchen threw it back again.Nian Quesheng immediately grabbed Jiang Dongchen's wrist tightly, and one hand was tightly bound to his back. His hand was too strong, and Jiang Dongchen let out a small ah.

If it weren't for the flustered heartbeat just now that really made people feel distressed, Jiang Dongshen would almost think that this was Nian's new trick to tease him again.

But Nian Sheng finally hugged the person he wanted to hug, and he couldn't allow him to let go after struggling a few times. While tightening his arms, he called anxiously: "Brother..."

This time the post was getting closer, Jiang Dongshen could clearly see that the tears in the corners of Nian's eyes were flowing faster, and he didn't care to scold his subordinates for not being serious anymore, and used the other hand to reach him like a coaxing child Behind him, he followed gently and softly, and comforted in a warm voice: "Ah Sheng, it's okay, don't be afraid...don't be afraid, brother is here."

This sentence coincided with what Nian Quesheng was thinking in his dream. Not only did it not have the effect of comforting, but it scared Nian Quesheng into a cold sweat, and suddenly shouted: "It's not true!"

Jiang Dong thought to himself that my ears are deaf to you, so he followed his wishes and comforted him softly, "Well, it's not true."

After he calmed down a bit, Jiang Dongchen pinched his chin and told him to meet his eyes, and said softly, "Ah Sheng, look at me."

But Nian Sheng tilted his head uneasily, opened his eyes a little bit, and said with the aftertaste of his dream, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Jiang Dongchen blinked: "Huh?"

"You have to be good, brother, I'm sorry."

Jiang Dongchen still followed his emotions, smiled and put a sticker on his face: "Hey, don't cry, I'm fine. You have nothing to do to me."

Nian Kesheng's face was cold, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his back, his heartbeat was still abnormally fast, but his emotions calmed down because of the warmth of his face pressed against him.After a while, he replied, "Mmm."

Jiang Dong thought to himself that he couldn't apologize out of nowhere, so he asked softly: "Ah Sheng, can you tell brother what dream you had?"

Nian subconsciously wanted to nod, but suddenly paused and shook vigorously.

Jiang Dongshen didn't force it, just smiled and said: "It's okay, don't be afraid, dreams are always the opposite."

Nian Quesheng is actually still in a half-dream and half-awake stage. ——No way, people who have nightmares are always unable to wake up all at once.So when his tense body was sent down, he also forgot that this was a good opportunity to throw his arms. Instead, he loosened Jiang Dongchen's back and wrists, raised his hands to wipe away his tears, and curled up in the corner Get up and come.

Jiang Dongshen's wrists were numb from Nian Quesheng's pinching, he shook his hands calmly, opened his arms to the poor Nian Quesheng and said, "Ah Sheng, come here and give brother a hug."

No matter what dream made him flustered, I was by my side, and there was no reason for him to be lonely and uneasy.

But Nian Sheng was taken aback for a moment, turned around suddenly and threw himself into Jiang Dongchen's arms.The movement was so fast and heavy that it almost knocked him off the bed.

Jiang Dong was calm and not angry, and very tolerantly let Nian Quesheng crouch in the crouch of his neck, stroking the back of Nian Quesheng's head time after time.Nian Butsheng didn't close his eyes, his long eyelashes kept rubbing against Jiang Dongchen's collarbone.Blinking makes people itch.

However, Nian was promoted to a person with hard bones and hard temper.Most of the time, he is actually very cold--of course, when he is not in front of Jiang Dongchen, he is three-point playful and three-point disdainful, and the rest is four-point lazy.But it's different in front of Jiang Dongchen, the innate cruelty and sharpness are all gone, from top to bottom he is a poor and cute boy next door, with a blend of hard temper and cold air, not soft .

All weaknesses were opened to him, but Nian Butsheng was sad now, so of course Jiang Dongshen wanted to hug him.

At this moment, Nian Sheng raised his eyes, his eyes were soft, and he called out to his brother.

Jiang Dong responded in a low voice, but Nian said: "If I do something wrong to my brother in the future, can you not blame me?"

Except for Jiang Dongshen, who would cry when seeing the New Year, let alone wipe his tears.Jiang Dongshen wiped away his tears and said with a smile, "You can't leave me so much, where are you going to forgive me?"

But Nian said: "Don't worry about whether there is such a thing, brother, if I do it, can you not blame me?"

Jiang Dongchen could only comfort him, thinking that maybe he had dreamed of something bad and couldn't get out of his emotions, so he wanted to hear himself give him a guarantee.So Jiang Dongshen didn't delve into what it means to be sorry for himself, but smiled gently: "Don't worry, as long as you don't find another new love, I won't blame you for whatever you do."

Then I couldn't help laughing in my heart, thinking how hypocritical and hypocritical it is for these two men to say this kind of thing together, just like the infatuated woman in his mother's folk tales Xiang Yizhong Langjun said; "Did you only love in this life?" Myself?"

But for the sake of being promoted this year, let's be so hypocritical first.Anyway, it's harmless, but it's so cute that such a foolish Nian is promoted.

It was still not dawn, the room was gray, and the two people were whispering together, so the atmosphere was really ambiguous.The silly and cute Nian Sheng turned over at the next moment and pressed down on Jiang Dong, saying in a deep voice, "No, brother, I want to find a sense of security."

By the time we got out of the inn, it was almost noon.Nian Quesheng was still depressed, neither talking nor smiling.A person was lost in thought, even if Jiang Dongchen called him, he would have to call several times before he could get a response.

This is really a bit strange, what kind of dream hit him like this.

No, no, these two days are very abnormal.

He talked a lot yesterday, but today he talked a lot, and his mood fluctuated greatly, and his behavior was very abnormal.What's more... I just did that kind of thing just now, and it was so... fierce... Now it's time to be able to talk poorly, but this time I didn't move my hands, not even making fun of it.Jiang Dongshen almost wanted to reflect on himself, whether it was because he didn't cooperate enough just now that he made a mistake.

Nian Shengsheng walked alone in front of the world, and Jiang Dongshen in the back was about to fight with himself.

Passing by a village, a lush acacia tree is planted at the entrance of the village, full of pink and pink branches.The wind was gentle and smooth, and from time to time a flower or two would fall from the tree-full acacia tree, fluttering and landing on Jiang Dongchen's shoulders.Nian Quesheng stopped abruptly in front of the tree, Jiang Dongshen didn't notice him stop, and bumped into him inadvertently.Nian Sheng turned around to help Jiang Dongshen's arm, perhaps because he was afraid that he would fall, but his face was always calm and calm, looking up at the trees full of acacias, and he didn't mean to care about Jiang Dongshen.

Jiang Dongshen was very upset when he heard the daily concern, and urged him angrily: "Asheng, let's go."

But Nian Sheng let out an ah, let go of Jiang Dongshen's arm, lowered his head and continued walking.

After walking for a few miles, there is a bamboo forest. The breeze blows the bamboo forest up and down, the branches and leaves of maple trees are ringing, but Nian is still walking alone.Jiang Dongshen was left out all the way, feeling angry for no reason in his heart, so he stopped in his tracks to see when he could look back at himself.

Really.Jiang Dong laughed at himself in his heart, I am so hypocritical.

He casually supported the bamboo and wood with one hand, and Jiang Dongshen suddenly let out an oops.

Nian Qusheng hurriedly turned around, ran to Jiang Dongchen in two steps, and asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

There are wooden thorns on the bamboo wood, and a small cut was made on Jiang Dongchen's hand, and a bright bloodstain gushed out.Before Jiang Dongchen could speak, Nian Sheng hurriedly took his hand over carefully, folded a bamboo leaf and turned it into white silk, gently wiped the bloodstain, and asked with a frown; "Does it hurt?"

After waking up from that dream, Nian Quesheng really didn't dare to see blood on Jiang Dongchen's body.

For a person who cultivates immortals, this kind of superficial injury can be completely ignored, but half a stick of incense will heal almost at all times.Jiang Dongshen was about to shake his head, but suddenly seeing Nian Gesheng's worried expression warmed his heart, and pretended to be wronged: "Ah...a little...it hurts."

Nian Quesheng was also very distressed, flustered for a while, and finally held the wound and kissed it, and then took off a piece of white silk to bandage him.Jiang Dongshen smiled aggrieved, and tapped on Nian's forehead with his other hand: "My wound is only two inches long, it's not that I lost half of my hand."

Jiang Dongchen took out a small medicine bottle from his sleeve, handed it to Nian Quesheng and said, "Use this."

Jiang Dongchen was always carrying various medicines on his body to deal with Nian Butsheng's bumps and bumps. Nian Butsheng unscrewed the cork, touched the wound with the mouth of the bottle, and coughed out a small piece of medicine powder. It's cool and comfortable.Nian Sheng frowned, carefully spread the medicine powder evenly, and said softly, "How did brother get it?"

Jiang Dong pretended to complain: "You walk so fast, don't care what I do."

But Nian Sheng froze, his eyes were stained with apology, he stretched out his arms to hug Jiang Dong and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry brother, I was a little distracted today, and I didn't consider your feelings. It's my fault."

Jiang Dongshen was hugged by this, and his petty temper immediately disappeared. He was no longer angry or complaining, and just rubbed against each other.

Nian Qusheng's face said: "Stop thinking about it on your own, what kind of dream is it, you can't tell me?"

It's because of you that I can't say it.

In fact, this dream is really like a worrying and absurd nightmare, telling Jiang Dongshen that he won't take it too seriously-he comforted Nian but he passed away after a few words.But Nian Sheng couldn't say it, he couldn't say the words of leaving Jiang Dongshen alone to die and then Jiang Dongshen was buried with him as gossip after dinner with a smile.But Nian felt cruel.

Because he really intended to do so.

To pay off the debt owed to Nian's family alone, even if life or death is unknown, Jiang Dongchen must be left as a living person.

Even if people are mortal.

Jiang Dongshen felt the person in his arms stiffen again for a moment, and was about to speak comforting words when he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him.Ten steps away, someone jokingly laughed and said——

"It's disrespectful, brother."
