prison song

【Lingtai County】

Qin Huaizhen and Yan Qing were sitting at the tables, watching the people cheering and toasting in the hall, which was very lively, especially the bridegroom, who had already drunk his eyes, walked around each table with a jade pot, and supported a bunch of people around him to drink water. Drunk Hupenggouyou.

Qin Huaizhen refused the wine glass, and the groom was so frightened by Yan Qing's voice that he woke up most of the wine.

A table full of dishes.

Now it is the second item after the wedding ceremony, the mansion is filled with banquets, and the wine is filled to the brim, and it continues like this.

It means a never-ending banquet.

Of course, no matter how rich or big the stomach is, it can’t handle it, so it usually opens until the end of the evening.

Qin Huaizhen was really not interested in looking at these dishes, and refused the wooden chopsticks that Yan Qing prevaricated on the grounds that he was not hungry. He looked at the shallow urn in front of him, and put a bulging sheep's stomach pouch, pouring incense on it. Thick sauce.

The chef came over, took a greased kitchen knife, and swiped it lightly, the thin stomach sac was immediately broken open, revealing all kinds of chicken, duck and fish inside.

Xu Rongzhou approached, stood beside the coffin and gently lifted her stiff limbs onto his face, and moved away the leeches that were obstructing the eyes with his hands, his face was full of exhaustion.

He closed his eyes, as if trying his best to feel the last lingering warmth left by her.

Qin Huaizhen reconfirmed that the coffin was filled with muddy water, his rotten face was heaving and sinking, like a living corpse about to stand up, and he couldn't help frowning more and more as he looked at the person in front of him.

"Why did you put these in there?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"I want her to leave here as soon as possible, and don't have the slightest nostalgia for this place." Xu Rongzhou opened his eyes, with a trace of green water sticking to his pale face, his eyes were filled with endless loneliness.

"Do you know how she died?"

"Do you believe what the county magistrate said?" Xu Rongzhou said straight to the point, still fiddling with her silver bracelet.

"How did she die?" Qin Huaizhen asked curiously.

"Wu Zuo said that she died because she was stabbed several times in the abdomen and bled to death. After being stabbed in the abdomen, the body instinctively responded. After being attacked, her stomach became straight. She died in such a tense and extremely painful situation. of."

When Xu Rongzhou said the last sentence, he played it lightly, as if he was telling something that had nothing to do with him, his tone was light and light, like a storyteller.

"Why did the magistrate say..."

"He's just a waste who has nothing to do all day long and listens to the wind of public opinion."

Xu Rongzhou said, took out a piece of silk from her body and tied it lightly on her arm, then put down the bracelet, so that there would be no strangle marks.

Qin Huaizhen was about to continue interrogating, but Yan Qing gently stopped him, but he had no choice but to reply: "You have lived for so long, and you must be more aware that there is no word of kindness hidden in this world of clouds, I have come all the time , I’m really not reconciled if I don’t ask for something.”

Xu Rongzhou silently listened to Qin Huaizhen's words, walked to the cave, shook his weak body, the gauze of his sleeves was blown up by the wind, like invisible hands pulling him, teasing him impatiently , depicting the outline of his vicissitudes of life and despair.

"The world is cold. Although I have lived for so long, there is no real warmth in this world except her." Xu Rongzhou sighed.

"I've long understood the indifference of people, and I'm even more familiar with accounting. You two, I know more than you can imagine." Xu Rongzhou's thin back disappeared behind the shade of trees along the long road. .

"If he really doesn't care about the people in the coffin, why did he come to seal the cinnabar beside him after putting maggots and leeches? Does he regret it?" Qin Huaizhen quietly asked Yan Qing along the road with a group of people.

"I like it and hate it."

Yan Qing actually replied, Qin Huaizhen was a little surprised, but it turned out that someone bought rouge, picked it up and put it down again, pursing his lips with complacency.

"You two don't have to worry that Lingtai County will send people to arrest you. General Qin Leyuan now knows your true location, and the county magistrate will not dare to take action again. Even if you go out in an open manner, no one will be surprised. Just don't go to that building again. It's spring, I'm about to send a letter to Mr. Qin's residence with the exact amount of compensation." Xu Rongzhou finally said.

"It's not me who dismantled it, some people really didn't realize it." Qin Huaizhen said angrily.

"You didn't eat anything just now, why don't we go and see what there is to eat first?" Yan Qing suddenly smiled and said to Qin Huaizhen, his eyes were a little lazy, and he looked down at Qin Huaizhen slightly.

"Are you changing the subject?" Qin Huaizhen directly exposed it.

"I don't deny it, but I'm hungry." Yan Qing said with an aggrieved face.

"It's already afternoon, what can I eat, and I can't lose people." Qin Huaizhen said.

"It's impossible for them to kneel while waiting outside, and they have to light a fire," Yan Qing said.

"Don't tell me, as far as I know, they are really sitting at the door waiting." Qin Huaizhen said with a twitch.

"Let's go buy that."

Yan Qing pointed to the sesame seed cakes listed on the stall next to them. They should have just been baked. The vendors in the entire county today are like smoke, and they have fled to the ground and drifted away, like this old man who is half drunk and still remembers his business. Absolutely not much more.

Qin Huaizhen took out two copper coins, the old man took them with a smile, Yan Qing stretched out his hand to take the biscuits, and as soon as he took them, he was scalded and rolled around in his hands, like a lively fish that couldn't be held in his hands.

Yan Qing took a bite, and the warm sugar noodles melted slowly in his mouth, and the sticky and burnt aroma wafted in the air, which involuntarily woke up several drunken people, who came over to pay for the fun.

Qin Huaizhen was still holding sesame seed cakes in his hand and looked at Yan Qing eating with gusto, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that this person was really easy to satisfy, he couldn't be a rich family who never went out.

In other words, I haven't come out to play very much, the past few years have passed so quickly, and now my father is back, maybe when he returns, everything will be fine.

Yan Qing's eyebrows and eyes are deep and beautiful. This is the first time Qin Huaizhen has seen a westerner who is dressed up like Zhou Zheng and has a flawless face.

Although I saw very few of them, and, wasn’t it true that I was dreaming yesterday?

After so much experience, in just a few short months, I was in a foreign land surrounded by mist, but this feeling was not as bad as I imagined, the weather was still so good, and the sun gave the remaining golden light to me before it went down. Every living being illuminates the shadow.

This kind of leisure can really be said to be the time when the great war is approaching and the fire is imminent.

"What are you thinking about?" Yan Qing reached out and took away the catkins floating on Qin Huaizhen's hair.

"No." Qin Huaizhen sighed and shook his head while biting some biscuits.

It turns out that there is such a reason why the taste is the same, Qin Huaizhen thought to himself.

Yan Qing seemed to have seen his thoughts, and found that it was almost dusk, so he made up his mind to speak out.

The secrets I hid.

"brush!"

A knife was pierced into the man's belly, and he felt nauseous. He spat out the vegetable porridge he had eaten at night, which was sour, and some of it got into his nose. The tamping nausea made him unable to breathe.

The swing of Yan Qing's earrings made a jingling sound. At the age of eight, his hands were covered with blood, with a treacherous smile on his face, and a gold ring on his pale joints. He looked at the person in front of him and said in a low voice.

"I heard that you seem to be dissatisfied with me as a monarch?" Yan Qing pulled out the knife.

"No...no..." The man looked horrified, looking at this man who descended like a demon.

Yan Qing didn't give him a chance to explain, so he quietly covered his eyes and said, "Don't talk about it, it will hurt a lot next time, save some effort, and when you die, think about your expression, otherwise it will be ugly." Yan Qing Show a slightly deep smile.

Yan Qing suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up, and then the smile deepened on the corners of his lips.

"I don't think you need to bother."

Put the knife down and cut down, and suddenly a knife edge appeared from the corner of his mouth, like a hook to the corners of both eyes.

The people around Yan Qing lowered their heads, their eyes were empty, their lips trembled, as if they were muttering something.

"Horror and trembling are often momentary, and this is really boring. I want you to enjoy the process slowly, so that you won't die so quickly, but don't think that you can escape immediately by dying." Yan Qing had a clue Holding the dagger in his hand, blood dripped from his palm.

"I was thinking about what you were like when you were a child." Qin Huaizhen said casually.

"Me?" Yan Qing pointed at himself.

"That's right, didn't you say that you were born by the sea? Will you go fishing or something?" Qin Huaizhen said.

Yan Qing looked at Qin Huaizhen's face, his eyes closed and closed, as if he could adjust and pause the time around him, so that his heart could slow down a beat.

"I am a person who often comes to Beiyang by the sea. Every time I learn martial arts and medicine with them, I will naturally develop skills over time. To be honest, every day is very boring." Yan Qing seemed to be explaining, proving his innocence. He kept looking at Qin Huaizhen.

Qin Huaizhen nodded as if he understood, and continued to bite the biscuits.

Yan Qing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but don't let anything go wrong.

The dispensable chat along the way still killed some time, and they finally arrived at the bamboo forest, where they saw the drunken people in front of them talking and laughing.

The accompanying waiter put down the cloth bag, breathed a sigh of relief, took out a round red mat from inside, and distributed it to everyone, and then took out lettuce and wild meat, fine wine, and set up a fire.

"Shall we follow?"

Qin Huaizhen looked at the semi-circular house in the distance. After the old woman opened the door, two waiters went down with torches.

Yan Qing saw that there was only one door in front, and there seemed to be no other access, and then found that there was food, and he happened to have something to say, so he shook his head and said: "If we go now, what happens to the bride?" It is very likely that it will be counted on us.”

"it is good...."

Qin Huaizhen looked into the distance, the groom didn't care about the bride's whereabouts at all, but shouted loudly to Zhang Luo Laibin, holding fists and asking them to bless him to be the champion.

And the bride didn't pay much attention, chatting happily with her sisters, showing off the Koudan on her hands and the gold ornaments on her head, covering her mouth and laughing from time to time.

The waiter walked into Qin Huaizhen and the others, holding a pile of dry firewood in his hands, quickly lit a fire, put some wine, meat and vegetables, and left in a sensible way.

Qin Huaizhen sat down with his head down, watching the crowd in the distance coaxing the bride down, then raised his glass and continued to drink.

Yan Qing thought for a while, put down his tied hair and said cautiously: "What happened last night...I remember everything."

Qin Huaizhen was a little surprised, but quickly said: "Well, you continue."

"I know I owe you an explanation. After doing so much, you find it unbelievable, even extremely disgusting..."

"Then tell me why you did such a thing suddenly." Qin Huaizhen's eyes lit up, half curious, half throbbing.

"I have been suffering from a disease since I was born, and the people around me are also looking for the solution, but there is no result." Yan Qing sighed.

"At night, I may not have any memories of the past. When I was a child, I heard people say that no matter what I did after dusk, I would immediately pass out until the next day." Yan Qing looked at Qin Huaizhen.

"go on."

"At that time, I would always be like this. Even my parents thought it might be because I was weak and weak that I would sleep longer than the average person. But when I was nearly five or six years old, they found that I would no longer faint. Instead, he is extremely sober, like a different person, he will be extremely focused on doing one thing, and it can even last all night."

"Hahaha, then I can imagine that if you were taken fishing when you were young, you would probably be able to catch a basket." Qin Huaizhen seemed very relaxed.

"That's not true. I just squatted in the corner with a stone and kept grinding it back and forth. It made a rustling sound at night. Later, they found it very strange when they found out, and I didn't have any reaction." Yan Qing back.

Qin Huaizhen's expression became serious.

"Because I can't think of a solution for the time being, in order to prevent me from being exhausted, I can only buy some medicine powder to force me to fall asleep, but later on, they forgot to explain when they went out, and I just forgot, so I didn't take those medicines until they came back I searched the house and still couldn't find me."

"Where did you find it?" Qin Huaizhen almost leaned over to look at Yan Qing, his eyes full of curiosity.

Yan Qing sighed and continued: "Later, I was found behind the island. At that time, it was just daylight. I was lying on the ground with a dead snake in my hand. There were all kinds of animals around me. dying with a bloody dagger in my other hand."

"What about the back?"

"Later, my parents never returned after they went to sea." Yan Qing turned his hair around, unbuttoned his shirt and turned around. There was a finger width on his back, black marks on his forearm, and a Qin Huaizhen standing on the top The familiar sword hilt.

Yan Qing reached out to pull out the hilt of the sword, the surrounding flesh became numb due to the long-term Mosuo, and a dagger appeared in front of Qin Huaizhen's eyes.

"Why didn't I see it yesterday..." Qin Huaizhen asked in surprise.

A scene suddenly appeared in his eyes, the tide receded, and dawn was approaching, Yan Qing was lying on the sand, curled up in pain, and the blood gurgling out while he was shouting soaked his clothes.

"Maybe the moon was not bright yesterday." Yan Qing said with a dry smile.

"Were you in pain?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"Forgot, remember, didn't I fainted that time in Ticheng? As I grow older, I sometimes don't do this anymore. Since I woke up that time, I can gradually connect with my own consciousness at night."

"You are amazing." Qin Huaizhen still had a look of disbelief.

"Yeah, that's why I don't have many close people around me." Yan Qing smiled.

"Then do you want to have it?" Qin Huaizhen said suddenly.

Yan Qing looked up at him.

"Young master, you told me so much about yourself, do you want to take it as your last confession before you die?" Qin Huaizhen raised his eyebrows.

"No..." Yan Qingyu wanted to refute.

"That's right. You said you still remembered yesterday, but you still did it. I don't care if you have the ability to stop it, but it's over. Then I want to ask you."

"what?"

"Yan Qing."

Qin Huaizhen looked at Yan Qing with a serious expression that he had never seen before.

"After our relationship that day, although I pretended to be indifferent and said nothing, I thought you understood that we were already together."

After Qin Huaizhen finished speaking, she took a deep breath and continued:

"Although I have had relationships with many women, I believe that a person will never change."

Yan Qing's expression was a little stunned, his mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could respond, Qin Huaizhen's next sentence made him completely confused.

"So, did you recognize me?"

"Do you like me?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"I like it." Yan Qing insisted, it seems that he has made a lot of determination.

"When?" Qin Huaizhen tilted her head, wanting to get an answer.

"It's very early, you threw me the blade to untie the rope, you went to the banquet, you rushed out of the nameless mountain, and there are many more." Yan Qing replied with some firmness.

"I remember so clearly, it seems that I have come prepared." After Qin Huaizhen finished speaking, he couldn't help but looked at Yan Qing with a smile, and the two did not speak.

"Hahaha!" The two suddenly laughed for no reason.

They just chatted like this, the stars all over the sky, the cicadas singing in the corner, the coolness of midsummer, and the light laughter they will never forget in their memories.

An hour had passed, and the people around were a little impatient. Seeing this, the groom hurriedly called the two waiters down to have a look, and turned his back to pick up the wine glasses to appease the guests.

"Ah!!!" A scream came from below again and again, accompanied by a long echo.

"What's wrong!!" the groom frowned and yelled at the door.

"Young...Young Madam...is dead!" A voice came from the door.

"What?" The groom rolled up his sleeves and was about to go in. Everyone grabbed him and shook their heads, and one of them shouted at the door.

"Live to see people, die to see corpses, bring them up!"

Soon after, there was a slightly tired sound of footsteps, and the candlelight illuminated their figures. When they were a few meters away from the door, some sharp-eyed people couldn't help but cover their mouths and hide behind.

After being carried to the door, everyone could see clearly that the timid couldn't help but panic and fled in all directions. They stepped on the round mats on the road and fell to the ground one after another, scratching around. Some people even fell into the fire when their feet were weak. , covered in open flames, still stood up immediately and fled into the bamboo forest.

The scene was very chaotic, Qin Huaizhen stood up not far from the crowd, and saw a figure in white, with a white ribbon tied on his forehead, a smile forced on his pale face, and he looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Seeing the moon, Xu Rongzhou grinned and said, "Look, they are the bitches."

The author has something to say: Hey I hope you like it!
