leave the wind on the grass

Before they knew it, the two arrived at the gate of Qi's house. The place that used to be majestic and majestic is now deserted, leaving only a few walls that were blackened by the fire.There are clumps of weeds growing under the wall, which are half the height of a person. In this winter, there is only a thin layer of yellow and white.The plaque on the gate had already been knocked down, and it fell to the ground and was broken into two halves and placed there, with big vermilion characters and earth-colored footprints.Song Yuxian stopped the carriage and looked around. The surrounding trees were withered, leaving only a piece of weeds. A road stretched far away, but there were no traces of wheels running over it.Song Yuxian felt that the situation was very sad and desolate, so he couldn't help but soften his voice, "Qi Tu... is here."

Qi Tu was silent for a long time, and finally opened the curtain of the car, and smiled at Song Yuxian, "I didn't expect the weeds to be so deep, I made you laugh."

Song Yuxian quickly reached out to help him, grabbed his arm and put it around his shoulders, Qitu's body was extremely cold, staying in the wind-shielded carriage was not as warm as his driver outside in the breeze .Song Yuxian frowned, and said, "We'll go to Gong Zhenglian in a few days. I don't think that doctor is very capable. Even if he doesn't cure a disease well, it will be serious."

Qi Tu nodded, then smiled, "Let me go, I'll go by myself."

Song Yuxian very much doubted whether he could walk on his own in such a weak appearance, but he couldn't say anything to stop him, he just felt a little sad.Song Yuxian helped him to let go slowly, and Qitu staggered away. He was wearing a thin blue gown standing in the weeds half a person's height, and he looked so isolated and helpless like wandering weeds.Song Yuxian was a little numb, his back was getting further and further away like this, the dilapidated mansion compound was like a monster with its mouth open, about to bite him to pieces.

Why was Qi's family destroyed, and Qi Tu was the only one who survived?

People who live alone are often more difficult than those who have died. To restore the glory of the family and the revenge of exterminating the family, everything falls on the shoulders of Qi Tu alone.It's just that he is too gentle and indifferent, Song Yuxian can't feel the dull depression all the time.He was tied to Qi Tu all the time, and he didn't know whether it was because he was afraid of the world and didn't dare to go forward alone, or for some other reason.

Qi Tu stopped in front of the door, just staring at the broken plaque.He looked dazed, and then just sighed inaudibly.Song Yuxian hurriedly followed, couldn't help reaching out to support him again, and then said, "No, it doesn't matter, it should still be repaired, you don't have to worry."

Song Yuxian was a little anxious, and his helpless comfort made Qitu's melancholy dissipate like smoke. He smiled, "It's nothing. I was young in the past, but I wish I could smash this signboard."

Song Yuxian didn't understand.I heard Qi Tu say again, "If it wasn't for Qi Jia's sake of face and fame, I wouldn't have to go to that school with strict discipline, so that..."

"what?"

"So much so that when my mother died, I didn't know."

He spoke flatly, as if telling someone else's story.That pale face, bloodless lips, and increasingly thin body.Song Yuxian suddenly said, "Don't be sad, my mother will be your mother from now on! Well, I'm not saying, I'm not saying that my mother can be your mother, but... well, I mean my mother will definitely be like Taking care of you like your own son, we have the same blessings and share the same hardships, this—”

Song Yuxian babbled a lot, fearing that Qitu would not understand what he meant and hurt his heart.Qi Tu laughed when he thought of this, and said, "I haven't seen Yuxian's mother yet, so what kind of person is she?"

Song Yuxian thought about it carefully, and found that he might not have seen his mother for a year or so, and it might make people think that he has no mother.Song Yuxian shook his head, "My mother doesn't nag like me at all, she's always straightforward, and if anyone offends her, she can hit him in the head with a brick."

Qi Tu thought about that scene for a while, and felt that everyone in the world should know about such a tough woman, but he had never heard of it.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Song Yuxian thought he was frightened, so she couldn't help explaining a few words, "My mother didn't just shoot anyone she saw, my mother took pictures because my house was burglarized in the middle of the night, and she had to be ruthless to do it." It was taken. I saw that her hands were shaking, but she quickly hugged me and said don’t be afraid, nothing will happen to me if she’s around. Now that I think about it, maybe my mother is really timid.”

"Ling Ci should also be a strange woman."

Song Yuxian said mischievously again, "I have never met my father. My mother always said that my mother is enough for me. Look at her from the hall to the kitchen. She is as good as a thief or a gangster. If there is a father, wouldn't it be useless, and the daily life would be wasted."

Song Yuxian became curious and couldn't help asking, "Your mother must be a well-known lady who is well-educated and reasonable, right? She is much smarter than my mother."

"My mother is very smart, but she is too complacent. I heard her crying alone in the house a few times." When Qi Tu talked about it, he felt mixed feelings in his heart, a little bit painful and sad, and a little unclear. His hatred tortured him deeply.

Song Yuxian couldn't hear the meaning behind what he said, but the cool wind blew slowly and directly into his neck, Song Yuxian shivered from the cold, and became more worried about Qitu, even though there were only a few walls left in the house, Can't it also block the wind?

"Come on in, it's cold outside."

Qi Tu listened to his words and walked into the house.The courtyard of Qi's family is still very large, and several rooms are empty like candles in the wind, scribbled and lonely, bluffing.The spider web was knotted in the corner of the wall, and the white spider silk was stained with some water droplets.When I looked down at the base of the wall, it seemed that some rat had made a hole.It's just that the snake should hibernate in this weather, so don't worry about being bitten.Moss grows under the eaves, and insects crawl slowly along the stone slabs.Qi Tu looked around, and suddenly felt unrealistic, as if the glory of Qi's family was still yesterday.

In this yard, there should be a few servant girls busy back and forth. Although the beautifully dressed aunts do not see each other, they are still polite and maintain a superficial harmony.His elder brother would play swords in this yard for a while, and his younger sister would sit down with a low stool, embroidering a delicate lotus purse while watching.Seeing him coming, the younger sister would happily ask them to compete, and whoever wins would give the purse to him.If the elder brother wins, the aunt will be very happy in her heart, but she will still scold him a few words, saying that he is ignorant and doesn't know how to let younger brother Yao.If he wins, his mother will secretly cook him a delicious meal.

In the well over there, I heard from the servants that an aunt once died, and she was thrown into it by the head of the house at the order of the mistress.In the middle of the night, it is said that someone cried.

His father would always read books all day in the study, or deal with recent family affairs.

In the past, there were always some red plums planted in the yard. By this season, they should have already bloomed, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.A family enjoying plum blossoms and reciting poems together in harmony can be regarded as home and happiness.

It's just that if one move is wrong, the whole game will be lost.

Qi's family was slaughtered overnight.Qi Tu was not at home, but was hunted down by the killer of the sweeping villa. If he hadn't been rescued by the master of the academy by chance, he would have died by now.He hides and protects the secret of Qi's family, and he is very tired.

Song Yuxian saw Qitu walking slowly from room to room, rubbing a lot of dust on the wall with his hands, stopping from time to time to talk to Song Yuxian about his childhood, "I accidentally broke a The white porcelain bottle was right there, broken all over the place. In the end, my younger sister sued me, and my father scolded me severely, saying that I was so reckless, how could I take on the heavy responsibility of the family. "

Song Yuxian looked at the place he pointed to, the ground was covered with moss, but it was empty.There is no other way for the past events and past people to remain in memory.

"I lived in that room, and there is still the Tao Te Ching that I was punished for copying back then. But it was also burned." Qi Tu bent his lips and smiled.Song Yuxian touched his head, and said in disbelief, "You will also be punished for copying books?"

"Naturally."

"I thought, I thought..."

"I thought I had this temper since I was a child." Qi Tu laughed.

Song Yuxian walked slowly with him, and he didn't want Song Yuxian's help, so Song Yuxian watched from the side tremblingly, and suddenly saw that he was holding on to the wall as if he couldn't stand still, and covered his lips with his sleeve and coughed a few times.The moment he put away his sleeves, Song Yuxian saw the blood stains on the green shirt.

Song Yuxian seemed to have been hit on the head with a clock, and quickly ran over and grabbed his sleeve, ignoring Qitu's obstruction to turn out the blood.

"It doesn't matter." Qi Tu said.

Song Yuxian yelled, "It doesn't matter! I'm vomiting blood! If it doesn't work, go back and find Gong Zhenglian!"

"Yu Xian, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, I have suffered this injury before, it's fine."

Song Yuxian saw Qi Tu saying it so swearingly, he felt a little puzzled, and asked again, "Really?"

"Gentlemen don't talk nonsense. Of course I can't lie to you."

Song Yuxian relaxed a little, but he didn't allow Qitu to shake off his hand and walk away alone. He carefully supported him, for fear that something might happen to Qitu again.

Before he knew it, Qi Tu told Song Yuxian a lot of things, including how heartbroken he was when he learned the bad news, as if being poked and poked with a knife.It also included when he thought he was going to die, he accidentally walked towards the silent bamboo forest, and happened to fall on the edge of Song Yuxian's bamboo house again.It also included why he thought this person was so talkative at the time, as if there were countless things he couldn't finish talking about.

Seeing that Qi Tu's pale face was the same as before, Song Yuxian was really worried, but he couldn't bear to urge him to leave again, so he just said, "I just thought you were a dead person, if you can save it, you can save it, if you can't, it's fine. Fortunately, Gong Zhenglian showed mercy at that time and threw me a pack of medicine. I didn't know what the medicine would do...it was a coincidence..."

Tired from standing, the two of them simply sat on the ground leaning against the wall. The ground was a bit cold and very uncomfortable.Qi Tu's health was not good, Song Yuxian couldn't bear it, and asked him to go back to the carriage.It's just that Qi Tu is very stubborn on the contrary, Song Yuxian is contradictory and entangled, and doesn't know what to do.For a while, I was worried about his injury, and for a while, I couldn't bear that his homesickness had nowhere to vent.

Qi Tu closed his eyes, as if he was extremely tired, and opened them again after a while, saying, "Don't save people in the future, save people for a while, you have to save people for a lifetime, your short few decades can be delayed How many people did you get?"

Song Yuxian thought for a while and said, "Sometimes I'm too lazy to be kind, but I also feel that if that person happens to be important to others? It would be good if someone else saved you at that time. You won't just die like this. Alone All in one."

Hearing this, Qi Tu couldn't help but let out a few wry smiles. He frowned, his hair was loosely draped over his shoulders, and he was more exhausted and desolate than before.The barely exposed nails were purple from the cold, and the slender finger joints were only covered with a layer of skin that was almost transparent.Song Yuxian felt a slight pain in her heart.

"Only you can save me in this world." Qi Tu said softly.

Song Yuxian didn't understand, it was just a coincidence.Song Yuxian exhaled a few breaths of hot air into his palm, rubbed it vigorously, and then went to grab Qitu's hand again.Qi Tu froze, but felt warmth coming from his hand, and even the occasional cold wind blowing around brought a scorching breath.

"Your hands are so cold, don't freeze, let's go back to the carriage in a while." Song Yuxian said in a nonchalant manner.

Qi Tu smiled and nodded gently, "Alright."

The sun set in late autumn much earlier than in summer, and when the afterglow of the sun gradually receded, the whole yard dimmed in an instant, and the surroundings could not be seen clearly.The surrounding area is full of ruined buildings, dead branches and weeds, and the empty place seems more eerie than the wilderness.What's more, people have died here, tens of hundreds of corpses are piled up, no matter how courageous Song Yuxian is, he is still a little scared.

Qi Tu didn't mean to leave, he didn't care at all.This is his home, even if it is already down and out.Qi Tu was a little dazed for a moment, he seemed to hear someone calling him, the voice was so soft and light, and it seemed to be filled with endless nostalgia.

Song Yuxian only felt that his legs were a little numb, and said to Qitu, "Shall we go back?"

"Ah."

Only then did Song Yuxian stand up, move his stiff limbs, and then go to help Qitu.

Qi Tu coughed violently a few times, and then suppressed it quickly, his face was a bit ugly, and there were unspeakable pain marks between his furrowed brows.

Song Yuxian felt more and more that he was extremely thin, and the bones in his wrist would pierce into his palm as soon as he grasped it, making him cold and stiff.

Qi Tu didn't put too much energy on him, Song Yuxian saved a lot of energy.The two walked stumblingly, Song Yuxian kicked away the gravel at his feet while walking tremblingly.

The sky has hung a crescent moon.

The courtyard is covered with overlapping green moss spots.There is nothing cloudy and cloudy, and they return to the mountains in all directions.Merry way wins the world.It should be noted that lunatics will desperately face melancholy.
