Notes on Evil Fox

The flood of the Li River has been churning for two days and two nights, until the afternoon of the third day when it stopped and gradually returned to calm.Rong Shiyin watched the water of the Li River for three days, and he didn't see Lu Fan'an again for three days.

He felt guilty towards Lu Fanan about Rong Feng.

But even if he does it all over again, even if he knows that Rong Feng is in Lihe, his decision cannot be changed.How could he not know the condition of the crack on the dam, it was just that he couldn't make any mistakes in this matter.

There are reasons for what Lu Fanan said, and there are also reasons for what Zhang Zhizhi said.So he can't make any mistakes, there are still so many eyes waiting to catch his mistakes.If he really made a mistake, everything he had done before would be in vain.He is no longer useful, and the emperor can't favor him, so he can only abandon his son.

Lu Kun said that abandoning sons is useless, Thaksin believed.Because even if he picked up Lu Kun's abandoned sons, if Lu Kun didn't die, they would never see the light of day.The reason why he was willing to pick it up was because he knew that Lu Kun would definitely die.

But his chess player is the emperor who is aloof. If he becomes an outcast, who would dare to pick him up?

But what about Lu Fanan?How should he face it.

The nerves that had been tense for several days gradually relaxed with the calm of the Li River.But some things that made people even more anxious came rushing up, and Rong Shiyin closed his eyes with a headache.

After a long while, he suddenly heard someone whispering outside the door. Rong Shiyin carefully identified one voice, Hu Zhong's voice, and the other voice was a little old, but it seemed a little familiar.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and it turned out to be him.

I haven't seen him for more than ten years, I don't know what it means to rush to find him now.He faintly heard the conversation between the two, and occasionally heard a sentence or two such as "the fever is gone" and "fortunately".

But Rong Qiao is here, he doesn't want to talk.Hearing that the person seemed to have left, he said: "Hu Zhong, come in."

Hu Zhong walked in, his eyes were slightly red, he should have cried before.

Looking at the child in front of him, and remembering the relationship between him and Rong Feng, Rong Shiyin sighed slightly, and said, "I don't want to either, but there is nothing I can do."

Hu Zhong never thought that Rong Shiyin would explain to him, since he was assigned by Liang Xiaoxian to Rong Shiyin, he was naturally astute, how could he not know the importance of this matter.

But after all, he is just a child, no matter how much he knows the truth, it is still difficult to turn this corner psychologically.

Seeing Rong Shiyin mentioning it at this time, it touched the sadness in his heart again, and he started crying directly in front of Rong Shiyin.

Rong Shiyin didn't stop him, but just quietly waited for him to finish crying.After a long time, Hu Zhong was sobbing and said: "The servant knows."

Seeing that he had calmed down, Rong Shiyin said, "But don't cry anymore? If you don't cry, I'm going to talk about something."

"My lord, please tell me." Hu Zhong swallowed his sobs.

"Who was talking to you just now? What are you talking about?" Rong Shiyin asked.

"It was your father who spoke to me just now," Hu Zhong hurriedly stopped talking, remembering Rong Qiao's instructions not to mention their relationship in front of adults, and said, "It's Mr. Rong."

Seeing that Rong Shiyin's expression didn't change, Fang said again: "Young master Lu was not in good health, but he was caught in the rain that day, coupled with depression in his mind, he developed a high fever when he returned home. It was Mr. Rong who diagnosed and treated him. He just came here to let you know that Mr. Lu is fine."

"Master Lu is sick? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Rong Shiyin raised his voice and asked nervously.

"Your Excellency has been worrying about the flood discharge recently, and the two of you..." Hu Zhong's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally there was no sound at all.

Rong Shiyin was silent for a while, and said, "Go down."

……

In Lu Fanan's room, the owner was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but he was not asleep.

In the past few days, whenever he fell asleep, he dreamed of Rongfeng. Sometimes Rongfeng smiled at him in the sun, and sometimes he curled up in the sand at the bottom of the river and said to him: "Brother, I'm cold." Brother, didn't you say you wanted to take me home?"

Every time at this time, he would be awakened suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.

For Rong Shiyin, this time, he really complained.That kind of emotion is very complicated, like disappointment, like strangeness, like fear.

At this moment, the door of Lu Fanan's room was suddenly pushed open, he opened his eyes and a familiar figure came into view.Rong Shiyin closed the door with his backhand, and sat quietly in front of Lu Fanan's bed.

A few strands of hair on Lu Fanan's forehead were scattered on his face, and Rong Shiyin reached out to brush them off for him.But when Lu Fanan saw Rong Shiyin approaching, he turned his head away.

Rong Shiyin was stung by Lu Fanan's dodging, his good-looking but always sharp eyes were stained with some imperceptible sadness, he said slowly: "Do you really hate me so much?"

"Your Excellency can really joke. Your Excellency is so flexible and treats life as nothing, and a good showman will care about this?" Lu Fanan said without a trace of emotion.

Rong Shi remained silent, but quietly looked at Lu Fan'an, his eyes were obscure, like an endless abyss.

"Don't look at me like that, it makes me feel bored." Lu Fanan seemed to be venting, and the words he said were meaner than ever before.

"My lord Rong loves his name and loves his interests. What are you doing in front of me, a man who has nothing to gain? At this time, water control is quite effective. With such a great effort, shouldn't we put on another show in front of the common people?"

"Big publicity about the fact that I found you to argue with you the day before yesterday. Don't you have another image of not fearing the powerful, serving the people wholeheartedly, and fighting wits and courage with the stupid son of the left prime minister. If you don't want to win people's hearts , you can also give those officials a boost and reward them with a date, so that they can look up to the face of Mr. Rong."

Rong Shiyin wanted to explain something, but he still didn't say it.It turned out that in Lu Fanan's heart, he was so unbearable.

But it seems to be right.But why did it come out of his mouth?

Identity, status, thought, cognition, it turned out that there were so many differences between him and Lu Fanan, but why did Rong Shiyin have the illusion that Lu Fanan had really entered his life?

It's ridiculous.

But Rong Shiyin didn't realize that he had told Lu Fanan many times before to leave, but this time, he didn't say the question about leaving.

Probably, it was because the man said that this would make him feel that their relationship was underestimated, and he would feel sad.Probably, in his unaware consciousness, he clearly knew that Lu Fanan would really leave this time.

The hand that was hanging in the air and wanted to reach out to the other party was finally retracted into the sleeve feebly.Where Lu Fanan couldn't see, the joints turned white.But this time, no one would hold it to comfort him.

After Rong Shiyin walked out with slow but somewhat flamboyant steps, Lu Fanan regretted what he said, wailed in annoyance and annoyance, and then reached out and smashed his head.

How can you be so indiscriminate?

But he really didn't know how to face Rong Shiyin now.

……

The towns in Xunan have started to be rebuilt one after another, and Zhang Zhizhi and others have also moved back to the Yamen. However, due to the serious damage to the post station, Yirong Shiyin and others continue to temporarily live in Chen Wangfu's Zhuangzi.

Rong Shiyin sat in a gazebo in the backyard of Zhuangzi, watching from a distance that Xu Nan, which had not been lit for a long time, was lit again, and felt warm in his heart.

But he smiled a little self-deprecatingly, he was just a man seeking fame and fortune, what to do with these things.Picking up the wine jar at hand, he took a deep breath.

"That's not how you drink wine." Rong Shiyin had already noticed the man's arrival, but he just didn't want to pay attention.

"I happened to be delivering medicine to Mr. Lu at that time," Rong Qiao said, sitting in front of Rong Shiyin, "I heard your conversation, why didn't you explain it to him?"

"Why bother to explain." Rong Shiyin's tone was a little low, as if he was angry, "I was originally the kind of person he said, but he saw it clearly later."

When Rong Shiyin was still in Xunan, Rong Qiao secretly looked at Rong Shiyin a few times. At that time, his son was like a statue just taken out of the ice cellar, indifferent and devoid of popularity.

But now, he would actually get angry.A little surprised, but also a little sad.

"A lot of things have to be opened up when they should be opened up, otherwise you will regret it if you miss it." Rong Qiaoyu said earnestly.

But these words hit Rong Shiyin's sore spot, and he said angrily, "What qualifications do you have to accuse me? Too regretful? Do you have anything too regretful?"

"Yes." Rong Qiao uttered a word very heavily and slowly.

Rong Shiyin sneered, and said, "No, you didn't. A cowardly and selfish person like you will not regret it. How could someone who can watch his wife being beaten to death and still remain indifferent before his eyes be able to do that?" regret?"

"Xiao Yin, do you know what you really want?" Rong Qiao asked in a low voice.

"I want fame, fortune, power, and honor. I don't want you to be useless for the rest of your life. You can't protect anyone, but I want to protect the people I care about." Rong Shi Yinhong Said with squinting eyes.But I don't know whether the color of the eyes is from anger, sadness, or both.

"But you, is there anyone around you? Is there anyone who cares?" Rong Qiao didn't want to speak so decisively. There was a deep gap between him and Rong Shiyin, and there were some things he shouldn't have said.

But sometimes, he can only be a father to wake him up.

Rong Shiyin stopped talking, but poured the wine from the altar down his throat more quickly.The wine spilled all over his face, and a drop fell from the corner of his eye, making it impossible to tell whether it was wine or tears.

……

A few days later, the renovation of Xunan Station was completed, and Rong Shiyin and his party moved in.They also used some tricks to divert the trouble to the east, and let Zhang Zhizhi find out that the person who blew up the dam was Yan Xun.But when the other party was exposed, he committed suicide by taking poison, and this matter became an unsolved case.

The reconstruction of Xunan is in full swing, and there is an order from the central government that other officials in the capital can return to Beijing to report their duties in advance.But Rong Shiyin still needs to stay here to supervise the reconstruction.

After a few days of self-cultivation, Lu Fanan's health gradually improved, and he decided to go back with those officials.

When Rong Shiyin heard the news, he was having dinner, and he just said hello, and didn't say anything else.But when Hu Zhong led the maid to remove the dinner plate later, he clearly saw that the food on Rong Shiyin's table was still intact.

……

On the eve of his departure, Lu Fanan left the house alone.Walking casually in the courtyard, he thought to himself: "The courtyard in this city is not as good as that of Zhuangzi on the mountain. The sight is narrow and you can only see a square sky."

After walking a few more steps, seeing the candle flames dancing in Rong Shiyin's room, he was about to turn around and walk back, but the steps under his feet seemed to be frozen as if he could not move.

These days, he is also feeling uncomfortable, but it seems that he and Rong Shiyin will never return to the past.When we came, there were contradictions, but we walked on the same road after all.When he went, he was just a lonely shadow.

"Master Lu."

Lu Fanan turned around and saw Rong Qiao standing behind him with a kind face, and hurriedly said hello, "Uncle Rong."

"Can we have a chat?" Rong Qiao looked at Rong Shiyin's window that Lu Fanan had been staring at before, "I have something to tell you."
