Bamboo is light and can also break the air

Chapter 16 Extra Story 1 Dreamland

Time passed without a trace, and Po Kong and I lay on the rocking chair, listening to the laughter of the great-grandchildren and fell asleep in a daze, but we dreamed of the dream that was repeated many years ago.It's just that it used to be a period of time, but this time it seems that the dream has come true.

"Master, the general is coming back today, do you want to pick him up at the gate of the city?" Yu Cheng, a young butler, stood beside the training ground and called me.

"Don't go." Pulling a sword flower, I heard my voice was cold, but I looked thirteen or fourteen years old, but my heart was indifferent, and I couldn't raise my spirits about anything, even my own father.

"Master, do you want breakfast?" Yucheng stood aside with a slight bow.

"Okay." I threw the sword aside and put it into its sheath and left, but I didn't hear Yucheng's sigh.

The general brought a child back. Although I had heard about it for a long time, I saw the child looking at me timidly, but I didn't have any affection for it.My father brought many things back to me. I looked at those childish things without feeling anything.My father wanted to say something to me, but I didn't care.The death of my mother and the death of my younger brother are enough to make me hate this man named father.I don't think it's the righteousness of the family and the country to be born without children, and only rely on the mother to support them. I just think they owe a lot to the mother.

This child is called Po Kong, he is very close to me, but I feel uncomfortable seeing his cowardly attitude towards me, so I always ignore him.My father told me how good this kid Pokong was, but I didn't want to hear it.If he hadn't taken the blessing of my younger brother who died young, why would the general's mansion need an outsider to inherit it?

After breaking through the air and entering the mansion, the general's mansion where I stayed alone for two or three years suddenly came to life, and the rigid but well-trained servants I taught also began to serve the young master with a smile.Sometimes I would receive something that Po Kong quietly placed in front of my room, or a dagger, or a bamboo flute he made himself.Every time he sneaks a look at me, I can see him, but does he think I can love him by giving me some gadgets?Oh, childish.

Two years later, I dropped out of the Imperial College, left a note for my father, and went out to wander.Fortunately, I don't have many friends on weekdays. The only one who can be called Zong Jia Zong Haoqing may be, but he is a bit hypocritical. He is always afraid of me when he sees me. He always answers what I ask.It's just that when I dropped out, he had the courage to ask me why I dropped out.I thought that this classmate treated me well on weekdays, so I showed mercy and told him that he didn't want to study anymore.Regardless of what he thought, I left.

I went to Liangzhou, which my mother had told me about. She said that Liangzhou has good wine with great stamina.I bought wine and drank it in small sips. I was bored, but I drank it in big gulps, and it burned from the throat to the stomach. That would be refreshing.Of course, the result was nothing more than a night of wind blowing on the roof, and the wine did not wake up.

Going west along Liangzhou, I saw snow in the desert, warblers flying and grass growing.I passed by the border town that my father had defended, the walls were mottled, the people in the city talked and laughed, and soldiers and civilians blended together. Although they looked poorer, the smiles on people’s faces made me think that maybe my father was just sorry for my mother.

Xijiang, who was walking on his way back, rescued a lamb while passing by, and was invited by the owner to drink kumiss.There was a bonfire at night, singing and dancing. I think if it is my father's credit, then I can forgive him a little more.After walking for several months and drinking a lot of wine, I felt that I wanted to go back and have a look, so I went back to the general's mansion.

It was a pleasant autumn day. I first went to Laotie Garden to order a jug of wine and ordered some dishes. I sat at the window, but I felt that Chang’an Avenue hadn’t changed much in the past two years. It was still bustling and lively.After taking a sip of wine, he looked again, and saw a figure that seemed familiar, chatting and joking with another boy.I blinked and looked again, and it turned out that the kid named Po Kong had grown up a bit, his brows and eyes had opened up a bit, he was radiant when he spoke, and his appearance was really good. It's not in vain that when I listen to other people's comments, I only listen to what General Qi looks like. Didn't hear what he did.

Just when he was about to call him, there was some noise around him, and when he was about to make a move, he heard Zong Haoqing's voice.He seems to have grown taller, wearing a moonlight robe, which is much more elegant.He greeted me pleasantly first, and then told me about the situation in Beijing in the past two years, and I just knew that the person next to the child just now was the sixth prince.But what does it matter to me?But this Zong Haoqing looks elegant, and he can really speak at the moment.

I heard the recent situation of Qi's mansion, and I feel that there is not much peace, and this Qi Pokong has not entered the Imperial College, did not take the big exam, but hangs out with the sixth prince every day.But I can see that the Sixth Prince's face is not such a simple person.Zong Haoqing was still babbling, drank two jugs of wine, got a little drunk, and then told me that the world is so lonely, Qing only served you alone, but you also left, Qing was really sad.I looked at Zong Haoqing coldly, and realized that everyone had similar difficulties, and loneliness was the norm.

After staying in the capital for a few days, Zong Haoqing came to see me every day.Although it's annoying, fortunately I haven't been in contact with anyone for a long time, so let's treat it as if I invited a Bai Xiaosheng.

I left a sign in Wenzhilou, and do some business according to the situation.Not wanting the business to come quickly, a man who claimed to be the third master asked me to imitate his handwriting for him.Thinking that the order was well paid, I accepted it.As soon as I got the item, I knew it might be a matter of the royal family, but it doesn't matter, I'm a widow, and it doesn't matter how long I live.

After the third master gave the reward, there was no news, and I didn't stay in the capital anymore. I went to the Zongfu to throw a fan at night and left.Take it as Zong Haoqing's reward for accompanying me these few days.

This time I went south to Nanyao.The folk customs over there are not very good, but there are many kinds of fruits, if my mother comes, I think she will be very happy.After staying for two months, I went all the way to the west, high mountains and snowy fields, and I went to see the Buddha I used to worship.

It is said that the Buddha is merciful. When I look at the merciful Buddha statue, I feel cold and right.Good and evil are rewarded, but such a good person as my mother did not end well.When I was going out, a little novice caught up with me and said that the benefactor had a heart disease, and if he couldn't figure it out one day, he would come here with this thing.Handed me a peace talisman, and ran away before I could speak.I subconsciously accepted it.

Maybe I really have a heart attack.

This time, I wandered around for three years again. I saw the good and evil of Buddhism, and went to practice Taoism.So I went back to the capital again, thinking about meeting my father.

I knocked on the door of the General's Mansion, but no one opened it, so I had no choice but to go in.I found my father's yard based on my memory.Along the way, I just felt that the flowers and plants in the General's Mansion were withered and a little bit down.I feel lost, but in the past six or seven years, the place that was carefully cared for obviously no longer exists.

There are still traces of people living in my father's yard. When I opened the door, I heard coughing inside.Open the curtain and go in, and you can see that the once mighty general is now very ill.I'm a little sad.After walking through rivers and mountains, I hated my father less and less, but admired him more and more.But now it seems that he will leave me like his mother.

"Is it Pokong?" My father asked vainly when he heard the sound.

"No." I entered the door, looked down at my father who was excited when he saw me, "Jingzhu is unfilial, he came back late." I stretched out my hand to hold the hand extended by my father, and felt that the bone was sharp and pierced into my heart.

"Father thought I would never see you again." My father held my hand with tears in his eyes. Just this one sentence reminded me of the same thing when my mother was about to leave.

"I, I'll find a doctor for you." I couldn't stand such a father.The person in my impression is very different from the person I am now. I have only met my father a few times since I was a child. He is tall and mighty, and he speaks sonorously.

When I went out, I saw Yucheng, a housekeeper who was much older. When he saw me, his eyes were full of sadness, and he hesitated to speak.I gave him all the bank notes I had on me, and went to the Zongfu.

Zong Haoqing is writing hard, preparing for the big test.He was very happy when I came and invited me to have a drink.I just asked him where Qi Pokong was.He asked me to wait, and then gave the address.I thanked him and went there.Riding his horse to the river, he saw a big boat with boys and girls in a mess, and the sixth prince in the water was being hunted down.When I arrived, I happened to see Qi Pokong go into the water to save people.I watched coldly, waiting for them to come up, only to see that Qi Pokong was wearing the uniform of the palace guard, and now he was wet with his own blood, looking extremely embarrassed.After the sixth prince was rescued, a group of boys and girls gathered around to ask for their health, only Qi Pokong tore off his sleeves and frowned at his bloody arm.

The general's mansion fell, the little general became a guard of the royal mansion, and the general's mansion, which my mother had painstakingly managed for half her life, was so desolate.Suddenly, my heart ached.Riding the horse back to the city, I went to ask Zhilou to find a doctor by leaving a sign, not wanting to run into the legendary third master.He was frank, and directly invited the imperial physician to the general's mansion to treat his father.It's just that his father had no medical treatment for his old illness, and Qi Pokong was in a difficult situation, and finally left soon after.I buried him next to his mother.

The funeral of my father was simple. I watched Qi Pokong knelt and cried so heartbreakingly, but I didn't feel distressed.

When did Qi Jiaerlang get reduced to being a small child for others?I still can't figure it out.

After locking up the General's Mansion and sending Yucheng's family away, I went to live in the Zong's Mansion permanently.

Zong Haoqing played chess with me for a few days, and then suddenly realized that he was the one who wanted to try, so he left me to fend for myself.The Zongfu is a very humane place, the master is elegant, the wife is gentle, and the three sons are all romantic.For me, it is indeed a warm place.

When I go out occasionally, I also go to ask Zhilou to pick up the task.This third master treats me well, and I think he also likes me, so I became his mysterious aide, Mr. Mozhu.Occasionally, Qi Pokong could be seen parading around the streets with the sixth prince.But later I found out that it was because of a girl that Qi Pokong became the sixth prince's bodyguard. I was angry from it, but felt that it had nothing to do with me.

Zong Haoqing won the first prize in the big test, the Zongfu Daqing, and the third master also came to celebrate.After the third master left, Zong Haoqing took me to get drunk again, saying that he wanted to stick to the territory and become a passionate general, but now he became the first in the civil examination, what a joke.I heard his drunken talk, but I thought of Qi Pokong in my heart, and then I felt that if I hadn't left, the general's mansion might still be bustling now.After Zong Haoqing stopped, I realized that I started to regret it.When I went to La Zonghaoqing, the peace amulet fell out of my arms.

I bid farewell to the Zongfu, and went to see the Buddha who is compassionate to all living beings.

The abbot is known as Zhiku, and has a kind appearance. He looks compassionate to everyone.When he saw me, he didn't say much, he just gave me a cup of Zen tea, and when I finished drinking, he saw that I was silent, and left.Afterwards, it was like this every day, and I actually fell in love with this bitter and sweet tea.

After staying here for two months, I knew the bitterness and said to me: I don’t know the bitterness, I don’t know the sweetness, the world is dangerous, but the Taoist heart is kind.The benefactor has a deep obsession, tea is incomprehensible, and neither can I.It's just that you and I are destined, if the benefactor regrets again, he will plant a karma tree to redeem your life.

I thanked Zhiku, left the sesame oil money, and returned to the capital.

The General's Mansion was overgrown with weeds, desolate and dilapidated, I bought a small yard near the Zongfu.

The third master is tough, but he has a compassionate heart. I know his ambition, and I know he will succeed.Zong Haoqing and I are half colleagues.

Zong Hao was young and young, and he became a minister of the Ministry of Rites when he was weak.For the Siyi Grand Ceremony, he left me a small table and asked me to come and have a feast together.I watched the first prince and the sixth prince muttering to each other with fierce eyes, and I also saw Qi Pokong standing behind them with his shoulders and neck bent.I think he is pitiful and pathetic, but I have nothing to do with him, and he has nothing to do with me, so I have no right to judge him.

Singing and dancing to promote peace, the four seas come to court, looking at a good scene.All countries offer gifts and pilgrimage, but they can't help stretching out their tempting minions.The people of Beiyong are brave and good at fighting. When they go on stage and look around, they just fall in love with the sixth prince who claims to be a scholar.The sixth prince doesn't have any strength value, but he brazenly said that my servants are better than your barbarians, turned around and pushed Qi Pokong to come out.Qi Pokong has never fought so fiercely with others for many years, and the viciousness of fighting with others in his youth has long been worn away by the Sixth Prince's side these past few years.I looked at Qi Pokong with empty eyes, and knew that I would lose this battle.Sure enough, within a few breaths, Beiyong's warrior yelled, cut Qi Pokong's arms back, and twisted off a pair of arms directly, with a hideous face, but Qi Pokong seemed to be in a daze, dazed, as if he didn't know the pain. past.I was a little stunned, and a little uncomfortable with Qi Pokong's experience.

After the ceremony was over, I wandered around the palace in a daze, as if I had been instructed, when I heard whips beating fiercely in a side hall, I looked through the crack of the door, and saw the First Prince and the Sixth Prince with fierce faces I kept whipping people on the ground with a whip, but I couldn't see who it was.After a while, I only heard the sixth prince say eunuch, and then let out a cry of pain, the faces on the ground turned around, and I saw that it was Qi Pokong.Still hesitating whether to save him or not, I heard someone approaching, so I quickly concealed myself.When I came out again, all the people had dispersed, only a pool of blood on the ground proved that someone had suffered here.

I was a little depressed and went to drink with Zong Haoqing, but he was busy all day long.

The sixth prince is engaged, and the imperial concubine is the eldest prince's cousin, Princess Nanchong, who is also the one that Qi Pokong likes.That day the third master went to congratulate the sixth prince, and I followed.Seeing Qi Pokong kneeling and sitting at the door, wearing thin clothes, the snow was rustling, his whole body was turning purple from the cold, I couldn't help it, I took off the cloak and threw it on him, but he didn't even move, just like a The walking dead.Seeing me throwing the cloak, the sixth prince smiled viciously and called him to bring us tea.Qi Pokong stood up tremblingly, but because of being frozen for a long time, he fell down into the snow.The sixth prince kicked him while talking about the trash, and explained that he was a low-level eunuch in their house, and he was allowed to work here because the princess felt sorry for him, and he was just a cripple.Seeing how Qi Pokong couldn't stand up, I asked for someone from the third master, and the third master fulfilled my wish.When asked where I put the people, I randomly found a yard and threw them in.

The sixth prince is going to get married eventually, Zong Haoqing has been busy for a few days, but he is satisfied with this master.On the day of the wedding, the sixth prince brought ten miles of red makeup to marry the princess of Nanchong.For some reason, I went to Qi Pokong's place.He was lying curled up on the bed alone, if someone hadn't come to feed and clean him up every day, he would probably be gone by now.I looked at him and wanted to talk to him inexplicably, but I didn't know what to say.Is it the anger of hating iron but not steel?I don't expect much from him.After a long time, I said, Princess Nanchong gets married today, and there are two moments before your door.I thought he would be indifferent, but I didn't expect him to sit up right away, without shoes and socks, and without a coat, and ran out the door.I was curious about how he would be, but I didn't want him to stumble for a few streets. His eyes that had been dazed for a long time seemed to have light, but his eyes were blurred with tears, and the road was slippery in snowy weather, and he always fell down.I followed him for a few streets, and finally arrived at Guwu Street, where I saw him fall directly under the sedan chair because he was excited when he saw the sedan chair.But the princess didn't come out, but Qi Pokong was dragged out and kicked, his blood turned into snow, when I passed by, the last light in Qi Pokong's eyes went away with the sedan chair, and he became stiff.

I stood beside him for a long time, the red makeup was gone, people came and went, but no one cared.In such a vast world, the child who threw a dagger in front of my door in the past was less than twenty, and he left with my birthday.

I buried Qi Pokong on the other side of Xihua Mountain, I didn't want my mother to be annoyed by him, and I didn't want my father to find him.Life duckweed, I buried the seed in the peace talisman with him.

Zong Haoqing pulled me at the gate of Xuanmen, pointed to the golden palace where all the palace gates were open, and he could see the head at a glance, and said that the third master was about to ascend the throne, and the princess gave birth to the eldest son today, and he was in a happy mood recently, so he planned to resign from the Minister of Rites , to play the mountains and rivers, and asked if you could come with me.I nodded, and only said that I saw that the third master had become a great treasure, and then I left.

After this wait, another year has passed, and I am already 26 years old.I remember so clearly, but Zong Haoqing was the same age as me.The third master is kind and has made arrangements for the brothers properly. The sixth prince has been named King Le, and he is under house arrest in the capital and cannot go anywhere.Zong Haoqing was finally released by the third master.This year's waiting was actually the third master not allowing Zong Haoqing to leave.

Before I left, I entered the imperial palace dignifiedly.The third master called the second master and Zong Haoqing, and the four of us sat in the imperial garden and drank.After the second master drank too much, he hugged my arm and cried, saying that in this life, except for the third master and the princess, Zong Haoqing and I will treat him sincerely.Now that we have to go, he is really uncomfortable.Suddenly, my eyes turned red when I looked at the third master, and following his gaze, it was Zong Haoqing who was lying down drunk.

But when the moonlight was dim, I took Zong Haoqing directly out of the city.

Where in life do not meet each other, I am also fortunate that I have a few friends in this life.It's just that the fate is all here, it's better to be well each other.

Zong Haoqing and I toured the mountains and rivers together, but we have only been together for five or six years. Because of Beiyong's violation of the border, he returned to the third master's side and asked for his order to go to northern Xinjiang.I haven't heard from him since then.

Life is short. When I was almost forty, I passed by Xihua Mountain and went up to kowtow to my mother.Before leaving, I remembered that there was another person on the other side, so I went to have a look.Unexpectedly, the seeds buried in the snow took root and sprouted, and now it has become a tall and straight canopy after more than ten years.Standing under the tree, looking up at the mottled sunlight through the gaps in the branches, I burst into tears.

When I knew suffering, I said, I don’t know bitterness, I don’t know sweetness, the world is dangerous, but the Taoist heart is kind.I thought of how much hope and joy this child had when he first saw me. Even though he was terribly afraid of me, he never gave up trying to please me.For me, my departure from home may be just a tour of mountains and rivers, but for my father and this child, it may be an abyss.

I stood in the Guanjiang Pavilion of Xihua Mountain for a long time, from the clouds and clouds to the white cranes and red clouds, and then to the clear moonlight.Humanity is not confused at forty, I only understand now.

Later, I wandered for half my life, not knowing where I died.A lifetime of loneliness, life with clear eyesight and death without trace.
