Chapter 141 Reluctant to give up love (1)
Ji Cheng pushed others because of herself, and she was going to kill Shen Che, so naturally she didn't suspect that Shen Che wanted to kill herself too.It's just that she cared too much and had to stay in the world.

Two days later, Ji Cheng's sister-in-law Fan Zengli came to see her at Shen's house, Ji Cheng had the opportunity to ask, "Why did daddy rush back to northern Shanxi all of a sudden?" Ji Cheng always suspected that Shen Che had done something wrong.

Fan Zengli said: "A letter from the family said that my mother is feeling unwell, and my father is also in a hurry to go back to Jinbei to handle business."

Ji Cheng heard the words and asked, "What happened to Mother?"

Fan Zengli said: "It should be fine. Before I came in April, my mother was fine. But you, if you really miss it, hurry up and settle the marriage, so that you can go back to Jinbei to embroider your wedding dress."

Ji Cheng looked at Fan Zengli and said, "Sister-in-law is here today for the Liu family's marriage?"

Fan Zengli nodded and smiled and said, "You know all about it?" She stepped forward and took Ji Cheng's hand and sat down, "Actually, I really didn't expect a matchmaker to come so soon. I saw that the Liu family was very sincere, Mrs. Liu looked kind and kind. If you can marry, your parents-in-law will not be difficult to get along with. In a few days we will go to Baoguo Temple to offer incense, and you and Mr. Liu will be able to see each other. If there is nothing wrong, then It can be settled."

Ji Cheng let out a "hmm".

What Fan Zengli thinks of Ji Cheng now makes him feel happy: "Master Liu is a doctor of the Imperial College, if our two families can really get married, maybe before Qiu Wei, Master Liu can still give pointers to your elder brother, so the hope of passing the exam will be even greater. .When your elder brother becomes an official, we won't have to be so humble and be looked down upon."

Ji Cheng said "hmm" again, disheartened, seeing Fan Zengli so happy, she only felt guilty, and hoped that they would not be troubled in the future.

Before leaving Shen's residence, Fan Zengli naturally had to go to thank the old lady, that was really a thousand thanks, and even said to light the old lady's longevity lamp.

The girl on the side couldn't help curling her lips when she heard this. What are they talking about? They don't pay attention at all. Does the old lady still need a long-lived lamp for her?Sometimes the flattery is too straightforward, and it is inevitable to make people laugh.

The old lady waited for Fan Zengli to finish her nagging, and then said: "This marriage is unavoidably hasty, your family should inquire about the details of the man's family, so that Cheng girl can be reconciled beautifully after she gets married."

Fan Zengli smiled and said: "The old ancestor is hurting us. Could it be wrong for you, the old man, to look after us Ah Cheng?"

After Fan Zengli left, Yun Jin couldn't help complaining, "This Ji's sister-in-law is too ugly to eat."

The old lady sighed, it was no wonder that Ji Cheng was in a hurry to get married, her sister-in-law might not be able to accommodate her long ago, so she hoped that she would get married and help Ji's family, who cares who Ji Cheng married.

Ji Cheng sent Fan Zengli out, Fan Zengli turned her head and said: "Girl, don't send it off, go back quickly, and talk to your ancestors more, you will marry in Beijing in the future, our family is far away You have to rely on the Shen residence to be your backer."

Ji Cheng smiled faintly, but said nothing.

Fan Zengli said again: "Although going to Baoguo Temple is for incense, it is not advisable to dress too plainly. I know that a girl is beautiful and beautiful, but people rely on clothes and gold clothes. This marriage, the girl must be careful , don’t be like last time.”

Ji Cheng greeted Fan Zengli lazily, nodded indiscriminately and sent her to the carriage. When she was heading to Ruiying Hall, she saw Shen Yu and Brother Hong walking by in front of her. The wall is afraid of being discovered by them.

Shen Yu did not pay attention, but Brother Hong had sharp eyes and immediately shouted: "Aunt Cheng." Brother Hong ran towards Ji Cheng, "Aunt Cheng, why don't you come to see me these days?"

Ji Cheng couldn't hide now, so he could only bite the bullet and salute Shen Yu.She didn't know what Shen Che said to Shen Yu, but she could sense the change in Shen Yu's attitude towards her, and she never heard him mention the marriage.

Because he didn't know the details of what Shen Che was shaking, Ji Cheng inevitably felt guilty when he saw Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was also embarrassed when he saw Ji Cheng, at first glance, he felt that she seemed to be a little thinner, as thin as the morning dew, and when the breeze came, he didn't know where to shake off the tender green grass.

"Brother Hong, you haven't finished practicing your calligraphy yet." Shen Yu said.

Ji Cheng also bent down and said to Brother Hong, "Go back and practice calligraphy, I will visit you when I have free time."

Ji Cheng's voice is naturally soft and waxy. You can never guess that she is as hard as iron when you look at her appearance and listen to her voice.

Shen Yu didn't dare to look at Ji Cheng, but just hearing that voice made him a little crazy. He was worried about the affairs of the Ji family, but he couldn't help telling himself in his heart that Ji Cheng was just a daughter's family who didn't leave the door. What can family affairs have to do with her?
But Shen Yu never dared to take risks with the Shen family, so he could only reluctantly give up.

When Shen Yu led the reluctant Hong Geer back to the Changheng Courtyard not far away, Hong Geer shook off his hand and ran back to his room.

Don't say that children are ignorant, sometimes they are more sensitive than you can imagine.As soon as Brother Hong returned to the house, he began to lose his temper at Yunzhu: "They are all liars. Ruixue clearly said that Daddy was going to marry Aunt Cheng, why is he going back on his word now? I'm not allowed to play with Aunt Cheng."

Shen Yu stood under the window and listened, feeling no less uncomfortable than Brother Hong.He thought that Ji Cheng must be blaming him, blaming him for backtracking, even Brother Hong knew to criticize him, but Ji Cheng didn't say a word of complaint.

Shen Yu felt ashamed, impulsively walked out of the courtyard gate, and went in the direction of Ji Cheng, but where was Ji Cheng?Shen Yu felt lost, dreaming at night, often dreaming of the appearance of Ji Cheng when he rescued people out of the water, like a pond full of white lotuses blooming in front of his eyes, the rustling sound fell on people's ears and hearts, giving birth to snow-white lotus root , can no longer cut off the fine silk.

Shen Yu returned to Changheng Courtyard in a daze, called a young man and said, "Go to Jiuli Courtyard to see if Second Young Master is there."

Shen Che is not in Jiuliyuan at the moment, he has already gone to Sanhaoju.

When he saw Sanhaoju in front of him, he realized that he had somehow come here.

The three good people are good mountains, good waters and good people, but it is a pity that the mountains and rivers remain the same, but the people are not good people.

Shen Che raised his hand lightly, and a sleeve flashed out, and the wooden sign he carved one by one in February broke into two pieces and fell down in response.

Lao Luo, who was sweeping the dust, heard the movement and stepped out. Seeing that the plaque of Sanhaoju was broken on the ground, and seeing Shen Che's sleepy look, he said with a smile, "Why did you come into the mountain at this time?" Usually, Shen Che didn't come here very often this month.

Shen Che leaned on the firewood gate and did not respond.

Seeing that Shen Che refused to go in, Lao Luo said, "Come and sit with me?"

Lao Luo's thatched hut is much worse than the three good ones, but it is cool in midsummer because of the wind on all sides.The two sat down facing each other. Lao Luo was about to boil water to make tea, but Shen Che said: "I don't want to drink tea, do you have wine?"

"Hey, didn't you usually say that drinking alcohol hurts the mind, you only drink tea and not alcohol, what's wrong today?" Lao Luo laughed.

How could Shen Che not understand that Lao Luo was taking the opportunity to ridicule him, but he was not in the mood to argue with Lao Luo, and only asked, "Is there any wine?"

"Yes, it has been buried under the tree root for ten years. You are lucky today. I will dig it out."

The daughter of ten years is red, the color of the wine is yellow and clear, and the aroma of the wine is intoxicating.Even Lao Luo became a little dizzy after drinking a jar of wine, but when he looked at Shen Che again, his eyes were clearer than before he had not drunk.

The so-called borrowing wine to drown your sorrows is even more worrying.

"The strength of your wine is too weak." Shen Che drank the last glass of wine without getting enough.

Lao Luo said: "I've never seen you eat and drink for free and be so picky. You don't think alcohol is boring, come on, let's do a few tricks, and you will be motivated."

Shen Che raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that I have said something wrong. Is there a background in your wine? Ten years old daughter red, who prepared it for?"

"It's prepared for you to marry a daughter-in-law. If you get married more than ten years later, your daughter Hong will be strong in 20 years." Old Luo said.

"Who told you that I'm getting married?" Shen Che wondered.

Lao Luo just smiled and said nothing: "There's a lot of nonsense, so be quick."

Before Lao Luo finished speaking, he had already made two moves in his hands, but in an instant, the two of them were four or five feet away from the small hut, fighting while walking, and it took more than fifty moves for a cup of tea. Watching from the sidelines, I'm afraid they can't even see clearly how they made a move, only the figures of fists and feet all over the sky.

"No more beatings, no more beatings." Panting, Lao Luo supported his waist, and fell from the treetops to the ground, looking as if he was about to die.Even so, Lao Luo said: "You can't do it, when did I go through a hundred moves in your hands before? This time there are more than 500 moves, and you can't do anything to me."

Shen Che followed and floated down from the tree, as if he didn't hear Lao Luo's words.

"Tsk tsk, my heart is broken, it's a pity."

Shen Che's kung fu is mysterious and mysterious. It emphasizes that the mind is as flat as a mirror, and the mind is empty and free. You can't do more than a hundred moves.

Now, if you lose your mind, you will naturally be ridiculed.

Lao Luo patted Shen Che on the shoulder triumphantly: "But there is nothing to regret, your kung fu has no reason at all, and there is no fun in learning it. If you are empty-hearted, you might as well just become a monk. At my age, you already know that all unrivaled magical skills are a fart, and when I am old, I am lonely and don’t even have a person who burns firewood to cook and warm the bed. Sigh, what’s the point?"

Shen Che said: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Lao Luo smiled embarrassedly: "Don't blame me for taking pleasure in other people's misfortune, who did you fall into, the girl you brought last time?"

Shen Che said: "How do you know it's her, not someone else?"

Lao Luo said: "Does it need to be said? The dishes are so delicious, if you didn't protect me, I would have to grab them and lock them up on the mountain to cook for me every day. Besides, the little girl can go out of the hall and into the kitchen." , and still get into bed, if you don’t fall into her hands, who else can fall into her hands?”

Shen Che frowned when he heard the words: "Unexpectedly, you are quite old, and you still have the habit of eavesdropping?"

Of course, Lao Luo refused to admit it: "I just played some game to thank her, but I didn't know that you didn't cover up your nonsense voices at all. You blamed me for eavesdropping. I haven't said you are shameless."

Human emotion is natural, so what is shameless?Recalling all kinds of things that day, Shen Che couldn't help but want to laugh, but he couldn't make a smile out. Ji Cheng's reluctance that day was still vivid in his memory, he was blinded by a leaf, so he didn't see clearly.

Lao Luo patted Shen Che on the shoulder again: "Don't blame me for relying on the old and selling the old. People only understand what is the most precious at my age. If the kung fu is broken, you can practice it again. If you lose it, you can't get it back. "

Shen Che said: "What's the use of finding a woman who wants to kill you?"

Lao Luo looked at Shen Che in surprise, it seemed that the complexity and difficulty of the problem far exceeded his imagination: "Since she has committed herself to you, why did she kill you?"

Shen Che laughed at himself: "Probably because he committed himself to me, he wanted to kill me."

"Probably?" Lao Luo looked at Shen Che in surprise and astonishment this time, what Shen Che does, others don't know Lao Luo but it is clear, "You don't know why that girl wants to kill you? "

There was a hint of shame and anger on Shen Che's face, didn't he want to know the reason?Why did he rush back to the capital all night regardless of his injuries?Don't you just want to ask Ji Cheng why?

Even though Shen Che had been aware of Ji Cheng's plans early in the morning, when Zheli really appeared in the Western Regions, Shen Che's anger from disappointment made him wish he could run to Ji Cheng immediately and ask why!
Shen Che couldn't help laughing at himself when he recalled the mood at that time, he didn't expect him to have such a stupid idea.He counted with his heart and no intention, and to deal with Zheli, he didn't have to fight with his life. The sword was only half a point away from piercing his heart.Shen Che did it on purpose, he just wanted to know what would Ji Cheng think in his heart if he really died like this, would he be free and unrestrained?

Or, will she regret it?

With intentions like masochism, Shen Che knew how ridiculous he was when he saw Ji Cheng when he returned to the capital.Ji Cheng's eyes showed hatred, panic, and retreat, but there was none of the other emotions that Shen Che expected to see.

He was discouraged at that moment, and later on, as expected, Ji Cheng had already prepared a way out, and everything was planned for a long time, not just a moment of anger as he thought when he was lucky.

Shen Che thought to himself, if Ji Cheng was given another chance to kill him, Ji Cheng probably wouldn't show any mercy.

Recalling this, it will inevitably make people feel disheartened, Shen Che looked at the empty wine glass and said, "What does it matter if you know the reason?"

"Why is it okay? You don't know the reason, how can you correct it?" Lao Luo put away his wine glass, and since Shen Che didn't make tea, he poured him a glass of mountain spring water.

Shen Che sneered, seeming to find Lao Luo's words extremely funny, and slowly spit out a few words: "Me? Correct?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't you? I've already said that the girls are all committed to you. If you didn't do a good job, would people be able to kill you?" Lao Luo is really soft-spoken, Ji Cheng At the beginning, it was absolutely unexpected that a few wild vegetable cakes would buy Lao Luo's heart.Lao Luo sighed and said again: "I think if I wasn't so young and energetic back then, I wouldn't be alone now. It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out now, you just have to think about it. When you reach my age, what you want most Who is with you. If it's not her, then you will vent your anger and revenge."

Everyone has their own sad story, and Lao Luo is no exception. He is now dying alone in the mountains and forests, which is indeed an excellent negative example and very convincing.

After Shen Che left, Lao Luo sat on the spot for a while, and then cursed: "You bastard, you can't save yourself, so you just wait for me to say these words?"

Lao Luo shook his head amusedly, how could Shen Che not know about those things when he was young?

The wooden plaque of Sanhaoju was still lying on the ground, Shen Che only took a glance and then moved his eyes away, his eyes fell on the kitchen door next to the wooden house, he walked slowly and pushed the door open.

The warmth in the kitchen is still there, as if the firewood is still burning in the stove. The man is waving a spatula, sweating from the tip of his nose. Even if he is beautiful in the sky, there is a world of fireworks in the square inch of the kitchen, which makes people feel very at ease. .

From the kitchen to the living room covered with catkin mats, the aroma of fruit and peach seems to be lingering between the beams of the room. There is a person lying prone on the cattail mat, with the snow-white spine down, and there is a waist filled with intoxicating fruit wine.

It's a pity that Shen Che is not so drunk that he can't distinguish between reality and illusion.The mountain wind is silent, the birds are silent, only the empty wind passes through the house, how can there be any people?
Shen Che went to the mat and put his hands on the pillow, thinking that it was another night when his eyes were open until dawn, but he had already closed his eyes at some point.

He clearly realized that he had closed his eyes, but somehow he saw Ji Cheng walking up from the side of the mountain stream.She looked so real that Shen Che could even see clearly the folds of the ice blue thin skirt that was blown against her legs by the wind.

Ji Cheng's appearance is cold, as thin as a wisp of mist in the mountains and mist, making people hate even the breeze because of her, for fear of blowing her away; it is as cold as the snow still left on the top of the mountain in early spring, bright and clean The blue of the sky is glowing, and it makes people hate even the warm sun, don't let it melt the snow.

When she is wearing ice blue, it makes people feel like crispy cheese wrapped in thin snow.

Shen Che held his breath, feeling like he was hallucinating again, he didn't dare to open his eyes until Ji Cheng stretched out his hand to push him.

With tears in her eyes and her hands still on his arms, he heard her call him, "Archer."

Shen Che didn't move at all, just looked at Ji Cheng who was leaning over to look into his eyes.The neckline of the thin summer shirt was opened wide, revealing a patch of frosted snow.Her clothes have always been very chic, and she wears a gold chain with hollowed out begonias on her waist, which sticks to her flat belly, making people unable to take their eyes off of her.

"Are you really ignoring me?" Ji Cheng asked, "If you really don't want to talk to me anymore, I won't bother you anymore."

Shen Che remained motionless.
