Colleagues of Zhang Liang [comprehensive] Mu Liangqing

It was late at night, and the clapper of the third watch had already been struck.Zhang Liang was falling asleep in a daze when there was a sudden knock on the door.He instinctively felt that something had changed, so he stood up and got up.

"Master Han, save me! Save me!"

Its voice was shrill, as if it wanted to tear the ground and smash hell.

The corridor of the inn is lit, and the beam of light shines in through the paper on the door, just enough to see the mottled blood on the door knocking.

"Ah! Help—"

It was Jiang Si's voice, mixed with the sound of stumbling and running away.

Zhang Liang secretly thought something was wrong, he pulled out the sword beside his pillow and rushed out.I saw Jiang Si was chased to the corner of the corridor, his temple hair was disheveled, his clothes were washed white, and his clothes were red and bloody, he was in a panic.

The two masked men who chased him down were holding knives and were about to find out. Looking at Zhang Liang who suddenly appeared, "Sensible, don't mind your own business!"

Seeing that Jiang Si was bleeding like a river, Zhang Liang naturally didn't talk nonsense, and with a swirl of his sharp sword, they were dealt with within ten strokes.

Han Fei hurried out when he heard the movement.

Seeing Zhang Liang's martial arts prowess, Jiang Si begged him regardless of his own blood and dying breath: "Quick, hurry up and save my brother...he lives half a mile west of my thatched hut, under an old oak tree." .”

Zhang Liang saw that he was so flustered, so he naturally asked the most critical point, "Who wants to kill you?"

Blood flowed from the corner of Jiang Si's mouth, and he closed his eyes in despair, "Queen..."

He was short of breath, and was frightened in his haste, the situation was very bad.

Zhang Liang gave all the medicines he had with him to Han Fei, and immediately rushed to Jiang Si's fourth brother's residence.There is only one house around the old oak tree, it is a single courtyard, many times better than Jiang Si's thatched hut.

Holding a three-foot long sword, Zhang Liang quickly approached, and a sharp scream came from the room.Sure enough, several men in black had sneaked into the house, and Jiang Si's sister-in-law had already been murdered.Fortunately, he went not too late and saved the man and child.

"My benefactor, please be respected by the villain!"

The man was so grateful that he knelt down in front of Zhang Liang with his nine-year-old son.

Zhang Liang knew that tonight would be changeable, so he hastily helped the two of them up, "Don't talk too much. Hurry up and pack some things, this place won't stay for now."

The man sighed, suddenly remembered Jiang Si in the thatched hut, and said: "I beseech my benefactor to accompany me to the residence of the fourth child first, if someone comes to kill me, it is natural that there will be bad luck for him!"

Zhang Liang stopped him, "He's already at our place, he's safe now, go and pack your things."

As soon as the man heard that Jiang Si had been rescued, he picked up his son, "Then let's go find him quickly, he is always timid, he must be terrified."

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, "This time I'm really gone, don't you need to pack some valuable things?"

The man rushed outside and threw back a sentence: "The fourth brother is important."

Zhang Liang followed his footsteps and didn't speak any more.Just now, Jiang Si bled too much, and he was already weak, which made people feel very bad.

When the three of them arrived at the inn, the strong man lying in the corridor had already been cleaned up by the shopkeeper.When Xiaoer saw Zhang Liang, he came up tremblingly, "Important, you two have something to do, can you go outside to do it? The other guest officials are scared away, and the business of the shop is lost tonight!"

Zhang Liang looked upstairs, and sure enough the door of the room was wide open, so he apologetically took out a small piece of silver from his bosom, and said, "I'm sorry, you keep the money, it's my brother's right Packed for one night."

Money is always more effective than reason, the little girl happily handed the money to the shopkeeper, and didn't bother her again.

Zhang Liang quickly stepped up to the second floor, and as soon as he entered Han Fei's room, the smell of blood hit him directly.

Looking up, on the bed at the end of the wing, Han Fei was still stopping Jiang Si's bleeding, and bloody gauze and clothes were scattered on the floor—Han Fei should have used all the fabrics he could use.

Jiang Si's face was sallow, and he already looked like a half-dead man. He waited until his elder brother's figure loomed in front of him, and his empty eyes, which had been staring at the roof, found the focus, and moved to the man's face with difficulty.

"elder brother......"

The man twitched, and leaned forward, "Fourth brother, don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, just tell me."

Seeing this appearance, his son also cried out, "Little uncle! What's wrong with you!"

Jiang Si's time was running out. When Zhang Liang went to rescue the father and son, Han Fei had already called the doctor, waved his hands and shook his head, and only said "the medicine stone has no effect".

When the family wanted to say goodbye, Han Fei naturally got up to make room for the man and the child to sit down.

Jiang Si breathed weakly, "Don't go, Mr. Han..."

Han Fei then stopped.

Jiang Si's eyes were dull, and he took a long time to gather his strength, "I killed the prince, do you hate me?"

Han Fei looked down at him and said, "Hate, but I hate the queen even more."

Jiang Si's voice was much softer, "I'm like this now, I'm afraid I won't be able to enter the palace with you, can you blame me?"

Without hesitation, Han Fei said, "Resentment, but even more resentment of destiny."

Hearing his answer, Jiang Si smiled slightly on his stiff face, "Retribution..." There was a rough panting sound in his throat, as if he was very satisfied, "In my life, I was born into the wrong family and followed the wrong family. Master, I love the wrong person. In the end, I should be the one to blame for this fate, and I can't blame others."

His sallow complexion suddenly became rosy, and his breath gradually stabilized, and he had reached the step of returning to the light.

His voice was rough and hoarse like a dead leaf in autumn: "I killed someone for the queen, broke my hand, and lived like an ant. Unexpectedly, she still can't tolerate me...Mr. Han, you have a heart!" Broad, God shouldn’t treat you like this. The queen is the one who deserves to be scolded by thousands of people, and she is also the queen. She has done so many heartless things, and she will never have a good dream every night, and she will never be at peace.”

His eyes moved, and he said again: "To the south of Shizhangyuan, there is a Changbai Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a red rock. The house behind the rock... lives a mother named Li. She is The queen's wet nurse, she knows all about it."

Han Fei memorized the names of people and places, and bowed deeply, "Thank you."

"When you go, just say...she will agree to you when all the birds are hidden and the rabbit is dead." He stared straight at Han Fei and explained the rest until Han Fei said He repeated the words to him, word for word, and then he lay back down in peace, seeming to have settled his mind, and continued to stare at the roof with empty eyes.

"Douzi, get out, I have something to tell your father..."

Douzi is his nine-year-old nephew.

That child was sensible, seeing that Jiang Si was about to die soon, he didn't make any noise, and obediently followed Zhang Liang and Han Fei to the next room.

The long corridors are silent and empty.The sound of the wind is rumbling, like a hundred ghosts crying at night.

Zhang Liang sat at the table with Douzi in his arms, silently listening to the movement next door.Douzi was young and had never experienced life or death. He was always in Zhang Liang's arms, clutching his sleeves and not speaking, only crying tears.

Jiang Si's voice was as light as a feather, it was so buzzing that he couldn't hear clearly, the two brothers on the left and right said goodbye, nothing more than that you should live well, at most, don't forget to burn paper for me during the New Year and holidays.

Everyone was waiting for the moment when he lost his breath, and the stone in his heart bumped against him with a dull sound, as if it wanted to smash his internal organs into pieces.

After two sticks of incense, a man's wailing suddenly came from the next door:

"Fourth, how am I going to live when you're gone—"

The man thought Jiang Si was rescued, he should be doing well, with a smile on his face.Unexpectedly, after meeting, there were only two farewell words left.Thinking about it, he didn't have any other grievances. It was better for the two brothers to bid farewell than to be decapitated and never see each other for the last time.

Jiang Si closed his eyes, and Zhang Liang also closed his eyes.

He silently shed a tear for the dead man. Yesterday when he was talking in the hut, he had seen Jiang Si's handwriting, the strokes were like clouds and smoke, elegant and elegant.Even if he lost his hands, he would not be greedy for the food that came from him. It can be seen that he is a person with strong self-esteem.His words were a bit harsh, but Zhang Liang felt that it was understandable, after all, if he was deceived into poisoning others, he probably would never entrust his trust to others in his life.

The man was holding the skinny corpse that was almost a stick, and the eight-foot-tall man was crying like a child, "Open your eyes and look at brother, brother will take you home...don't go..."

After being stunned for a long time, he said again: "How can I live when you are gone?"

The man went to cut firewood every day, went to the town to exchange money, and secretly gave Jiang Sizang a few copper coins.Once he bought a white noodle dough, the peddler teased and asked him if he bought it for his wife, he shook his head and said, no, I gave it to my fourth child.He went to the mountains to cut firewood, and he could often gather some medicinal materials, which he could exchange for a lot of money every time he took them to the pharmacy.When the time was right, he brought Jiang Si some gadgets, and secretly hid them in his bosom as if afraid of being snatched away.

In the end, those peddlers didn't even ask, anyway, the big guy only said "I bought it for my fourth child".Everyone laughed at him, pampering his brother as if doting on his wife.He wasn't angry either, and let them talk.What he looks forward to the most is that every night he takes out a little worthless gadget from his bosom, and Jiang Si's eyes flash across the stars.

He couldn't imagine that for thousands of days in the future, he could only look at a palm-sized grave and say, "Fourth brother, I brought you something interesting today."

Most likely, it can only be burned to the ground and given to him.

Looking at the lonely back of the man, Zhang Liang staggered over like a lump in his throat, and covered Jiang Si's head with a piece of clean cloth—this was the first time he had witnessed death.

The dead have gone to the Land of Ultimate Bliss, leaving only guilt and regret to the living.

People leave the tea to cool down, and there will be another grievance in the world since then.

Afterwards, they left a sum of money for the man, and asked him to go to an unknown place and acquire a piece of land, so that he could teach Douzi to succeed.

Before leaving, Zhang Liang asked the man, what wish did Jiang Si leave behind, maybe they could help.

The man just looked at the grave and shook his head, "He is a man with little eyes, and he has no other thoughts. He just said that he will not be my brother in the next life, but that he will be reborn as a girl and live next door to me... When he grows up, let I put a red flower on him with my own hands."

Zhang Liang understood, looking at the loneliness and sadness in the man's eyes, and the lips pursed into a thin line, he also understood what Jiang Si meant by "love the wrong man".

He bowed deeply to the small tombstone over there.

He knew Jiang Si and understood a truth: there is no absolute evil, and there is no absolute good. In the face of fate, all living beings are as humble as dust and mud.

The wind is mournful, the crows are heard everywhere, but the sky that should be blue is covered with a layer of gray, dark and gloomy.

The author has something to say:

When writing this chapter, the whole person is very dull, gloomy, and the drink is not sweet in the mouth...
