Poor children

Chapter 88 Despair
一
The lights in the poor boy's house were not turned off all night again. The sky turned white. Only the oil lamps were extinguished in the house. There was a sound of footsteps and the door opened. The poor boy who had locked himself in the house for two days finally came out.
I saw Tiedan'er sleeping soundly under the window. The poor boy went back inside and got a blanket to put on him. Even though the martial arts practitioner was in a deep sleep, he was still very alert. As soon as the blanket touched his body, he slowly When she woke up and saw that she was a poor girl, he went up and grabbed her.

"You don't have to pull me, I won't lock myself up again"
Tiedan'er let go and asked, "Then why did you lock yourself up before?"

"I'm sewing a new Taoist robe for my master. We're about to leave. I'm afraid he doesn't have enough clothes to wear."

"Just come out no matter what." Tiedan'er's face was full of joy. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

Pao'er looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Please accompany me to the backyard."

Tiedan'er agreed immediately, and the two of them walked towards the royal garden of Taixu Taoist Temple.

In the early morning of autumn, even the dew is cold, and the air is naturally cool. The flowers have not faded, and the grass has not faded. It is as if nothing has changed, but they are quietly preparing to accept the change, and are slowly changing. changing
Pao'er didn't speak during the whole journey, and his face was very calm, with no trace of anything on his mind. When Tiedan'er saw that Pao'er didn't say anything, he didn't dare to say anything, and just waited quietly for her to speak first.

As soon as you enter the garden, you can smell the sweet fragrance of osmanthus in the wind. The golden osmanthus trees on both sides of the corridor are in full bloom. When a gust of wind blows, many of them fall down and spread on the corridor. The fiery red oleander hugs them. Against the fence, beautiful red, white, blue and pink cherry blossoms are surrounded by a few white and pink magnolias. In a pond shaded by crabapples and hibiscus, the leaves of the lotus are actually a little dry, and the delicate lotus in midsummer has turned emerald green. lotus pods, and many bright yellow ginkgo leaves have been poured into the pavilion beside the pond.

The poor boy picked up a piece of ginkgo in front of the pavilion to play with. Tie Daner thought she would go to sit in the pavilion, but unexpectedly she came to sit by the pond in front of the pavilion.

"It's autumn, the ground is cold, go sit in the pavilion" Tiedan'er said
"It doesn't matter. It's very nice here. I want to sit here for a while." Paoer arrived.
Seeing that Tiedan'er persuaded her not to move, he also sat down with her by the pool.

"The first day I came here, I fell into this pond from the edge of this pond. The mud in this pond is very slippery"

"Yeah..." Tie Dan'er didn't know what she was going to say, but he knew that he just had to shut up and listen to her.
"I rescued an old woman on the street a few days ago. She was beaten severely by her son and died the next day. She didn't even get a full mouthful of food before she died."

"Um"

"I grew up so big in the palace over there, and it turns out that the owner of the palace in the courtyard is my biological father, separated by a wall."

"what?"

"All the masters in the mansion are related to me, but they treat me like a savage beast. They are afraid that I will kill them."

"Ah, ah!"

"Now that I'm in danger, I suddenly thought of me. I didn't think of me until my life was in danger if I didn't marry the princess on behalf of the princess. The two young ladies in the mansion are both grown on the apex of the heart, so naturally it can't be done, but like It’s the most suitable person like me who is eager to throw someone out.”

"Huh! Huh?" "I have no choice. The person I like has no fate with me. For a person like me, I have to accept whatever fate arranges for me. I am just a speck of dust in the world. , I will go wherever the wind blows, whenever I can control myself."

"The one you like?" Tiedan'er couldn't help but hit her mouth to hear this statement.

"Let's get married! It's all in vain." Pao'er said. There was no trace of entanglement or sadness on his face. "There is indeed some reluctance, but he seems to have a lot of things he can't help himself. The same goes for me. We are the same kind of people. He is rational and unwilling to explain too much, so he is destined to be the kind of person who cannot touch the other person even when standing face to face."

"It's just that I am really sad. I have never been so sad when my grandma passed away. I don't understand why. We only got along with him for a few days, but it felt like I had spent a lifetime with him. If he could leave everything behind for me, If he is willing to spend the rest of his life with me in that small courtyard, I don’t care whether those relatives who treat me like an animal live or die. Even if I die, I am willing to die with him. When it comes to hesitation and hesitation, many things seem to be much more important to him than me. I am just a stranger among the many people who come and go in his life."

Pao'er's hand holding the ginkgo trembled slightly. I don't know whether it was because of the cold or because of emotion. Her lips and breathing were trembling.

Tie Dan'er looked straight at the pond and said nothing. He just opened his arms and put his arms around Pao'er's shoulders. Pao'er rested his head on her shoulder, trying hard to control his gradually out-of-control emotions, just like It was the same as when she paid homage to her mother in the Wangfu woodshed on her birthday that year.

"I'm sorry! I've been at the old general's house these days and didn't stay with you properly. Unexpectedly, a lot of things seemed to have happened to you. I don't know the details, and I don't know how to persuade you. I know you have your own ideas, and I don't see you either. You have to listen to my advice. There is only one thing I want you to know. No matter what, I will always be there. I will support you in whatever you do. I will never leave you or abandon you." Tiedan'er arrived.

The pauper raised his face and looked at Tiedan'er's side face, sighing that time flies so fast. I don't know when this resolute and handsome side face transformed from the young and dark round face. We are always together and forget about it. , that down-and-out boy who could eat but was easily hungry has grown into a steady man with strong shoulders that people can rely on.
"Since you want to get married, then go ahead and get married. No matter who you marry, even if he is the king of a country, I will protect you and I will not let you suffer any injustice. I will accompany you wherever you go. As we said when we became sworn brothers, I will protect you even if I risk my life. You will always be the most important person in my life, forever!" Tiedan'er kept looking ahead, while Pao'er leaned on his shoulder to watch. Looking at his expression, she didn't know that Tiedan'er had been loving him and caring for her in the name of brother for so many years, but because of the name of brother and sister, he could never be with her as a lover. He didn't even know this. When did love begin? Maybe it started when he ate the first steamed bun given to him by a poor boy in the backyard of the palace.

Not far from the pond, there were two people standing behind them. Although they couldn't hear what the two people were saying by the pond, they could clearly see their movements.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Deshun looked at Tianxing worriedly, "Why don't we go back?"

Tian Xing held his head tightly, the anger in his eyes was burning, and the veins on his forehead were beating.
No wonder she seemed so calm when he told the pauper about his loyalty, no wonder she was so cold when he confided his love to her, no wonder she refused so heartlessly when he begged her to stay, but she still refused. Put such harsh demands on him, asking him to give up everything

It turns out that all those things were just excuses for her not to love him and for falling in love with someone else.
look!The appearance of those two people snuggling by the pond is simply a pair of gods and couples, how well matched they look

She looked so happy as she rested her head on his shoulder
She has found a good home, should I be happy for her?

No!He is not happy, he only has anger now, the anger is like a volcano, the lava is rolling out, it will devour everything it touches, it will destroy the world, he will destroy this woman, This woman he cared about and lost his soul for
He loved her with his most sincere heart, but this love was so humble and cheap to her.
Compared with the arms surrounding the poor child, his humble love is like a joke, but mixed with a lot of pain, making people want to laugh but want to cry even more...
