Chapter 147

He lowered his head, his eyes were calm and focused, and his voice was clear and gentle: "If you don't fasten your shoes, the shoes will fall off after a while. Your feet can't catch cold, have you forgotten?"

"How do you know that my feet can't catch cold?" Jingzhi murmured, feeling that his gentleness towards her at the moment was like a thorn in her back, and he made her more and more incomprehensible and incomprehensible, as if she had completely changed herself !

His fingertips slowly brushed against her ankles, looking down quietly, he saw a slightly wicked smile on his face: "The things you don't know, don't stop there?"

Jing knew there was a ghost in her heart, and turned her head away with a low cough in embarrassment. She suddenly saw a rainbow in the far sky, and the rain had stopped, but the sun was wrapped in the damp clouds, as if trying to break through the clouds. The thick clouds are inlaid with a meandering gold border.

"Let's go." He smiled, stretched out his hand under her arms and hugged her in his arms, knowing that he was worried about his stomach, he hurriedly hooked his neck, a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips Concerned, but didn't say much, just hugged her even tighter, and walked onto the small bridge through the water.

When walking to the highest point of the arch bridge, the scenery of the town can be seen in a panoramic view. From a distance, the boats in the river can be seen shuttling like fish, moving fast, and the wind brings the fresh and pleasant smell of soil after the rain. The breathing gradually became a little heavy, but he never put her down, and she seemed to have forgotten to speak.

He carried her all the way down the stone bridge, and the stagnant water soon receded. They stood under the shed set up by a small grocery store on the side of the road, waiting for the car to pick them up.

There was a lot of water on the plastic shed above the head, and the center of the shed fell down, almost hitting the top of their heads. Jingzhi raised her head to look at that place from time to time. The more she looked, the more she felt a little scared. The plastic shed looked like She couldn't hold it anymore, she was afraid that the water would pour down her head, and it would be too bad luck to drench her into a drenched chicken!
Seeing her expression, Meng Shaoting thought it was funny, he stretched out his hand and pulled her over, putting his palm on the top of her head: "Aren't you quite courageous?"

Jing Zhi shrinks her neck, "What does this have to do with courage?"

He just smiled and stood side by side with her under this simple shed, less than half a meter away, the accumulated water left from the shed became a rain curtain.

He shook her hand and looked at this remote and closed town, where passers-by all looked calm and leisurely, and small stalls on the street were set up one by one, selling all kinds of gadgets, most of them made of There are paper-cuts with ethnic customs, small cloth hairpin headdresses, and even some rough turquoise malachite necklaces and bracelets, which are shiny and beautiful when viewed from a distance.

The car had to take a long detour, but they were not in a hurry. Seeing that the weather was getting better, they simply walked out of the shed and started strolling along this small street.

Gradually, it became a little lively, those pedestrians and tourists seemed to pop out from the ground all of a sudden, stirring up the market in full swing!
Those plainly dressed townspeople, those fashionable and youthful tourists, and people from the two worlds are so softly blended together, appearing on the same canvas, but they don't look awkward at all.

There was a small shop where the business was extremely hot. Meng Shaoting and Jing Zhi were both attracted to it. The small shop was crowded and noisy. They couldn't get in, but they were in no hurry. They just stood outside the shop and watched the cheap ones hanging out. Gadgets for sale.

A piece of cardboard was stuck on the shelf, and a few big crooked characters were written on it with simple oil paint, and couple bracelets were cheap and cheap.

Meng Shaoting pulled Jingzhi over, and they saw that there were many colorful bracelets hanging on the barbed wire shelf under the cardboard, all made of silk thread, there were all kinds of them, but they looked extremely beautiful and delicate !

"Let's buy it, it's a big sale!" Meng Shaoting said slowly, holding a pair of couple bracelets called concentric knots, without raising his head.

He didn't have much mood swings, and seemed to ask a question casually.

"Why do you buy this?" Jing Zhi was noncommittal. Couple bracelets, as the name suggests, are naturally worn by couples. What kind of relationship does she have with him?The relationship between nurturing and being nurtured?
Meng Shaoting held the pair of necklaces with his fingers, hesitated for a moment, then put them down again: "Then let's go."

He turned around and pulled her to leave. The boss, who was busy at the same time, saw the business slipping away at the door, and came over in a panic, with a passionate smile on his face: "Sir, you have a good eye. Do you know the pair you just took?" What is the history of the concentric knot?"

Jing Zhi couldn't help laughing when he heard him ask such a question: "It's another legend of idiots and resentment passed down."

The boss laughed heartily: "This young lady is knowledgeable, but this concentric knot is not a legend about idiots complaining about women, but a real thing that actually happened more than 100 years ago in our small town!"

"Oh? Let's hear it." Jingzhi became interested, stopped and turned around.

The boss cleared his throat and said happily: "It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there was a young and beautiful girl here who sold needles and thread for a living in the town, but she was accidentally spotted by the boss of a bandit team in the mountains and showed her love to her." Yes, the boss is not very old, and his appearance is dignified, so he pretends to be a decent person, and goes to the girl's booth every day, and buys small gadgets with needles and threads. After a long time, the girl notices this man, and slowly Yes, the two met each other and fell in love secretly. Another day, the boss came to the girl's booth again, hesitated for a long time, lingered from sunrise to sunset, followed the girl to the door of her house, and then went up. forward……"

"But you want to have bad intentions?" Jing Zhi frowned, and asked urgently.

"That's not possible." Meng Shaoting took her words: "If this man wants to cheat, he can directly snatch the girl from this poor family into the cottage. He has gone through a lot of trouble, so naturally he has sincerity towards the girl." .”

The boss gave a thumbs up: "What this gentleman said is very true! The boss stopped the girl and poured out his heart, and the girl was very happy in her heart. After the two agreed ten days later, the boss came to the house to propose marriage, so, that The bandit leader gave the girl the concentric jade that he had been wearing since birth, and the two talked for a long time before they reluctantly bid farewell."

"What happened later? Did the boss go to propose a marriage?" Jingzhi already had a vague premonition in her heart. She loves to read, and often reads novels. She can guess the end after reading the beginning, or listen to a word from the protagonist. Guessing what is about to happen, two people of that age and identities, wanting to be together safely and joyfully is simply a dream.

The boss shook his head and sighed: "Poor couple! The boss was planning to get married after returning home, but unexpectedly the imperial court's army of bandits was mobilized, and some of the bandits accepted bribes and betrayed all the brothers. The boss fled into the mountains for three days Afterwards, she was still caught, and the court hated him because he had been entrenched for a long time, intending to become bigger, and was also associated with the Revolutionary Party, so he was sentenced to death by death. On the day of execution, the girl knew that the sweetheart she was thinking of was a bandit. What's more, she didn't expect that she had been looking forward to the beautiful scenery for ten days, but it turned out that they were separated forever. She sent her lover to the execution ground with tears in her eyes. The two hugged each other and cried, and the world was moved..."

"Is it really Ling Chi? How can the girl bear this kind of blow? The two of them are too miserable and pitiful..." Jingzhi's eyes are already a little red. Compared with this pair, she and Shao Xuan's suffering seems to be really nothing.

Meng Shaoting raised his eyebrows and smiled, and squeezed Jingzhi's hand; "You see the suffering of the two, but I see the happiness of the two. At least, during those ten days, the girl was full of joy every day." And happy, at least, at the moment of going to the execution ground, that man can see his sweetheart, knowing that she loves her as much as he loves her, and she loves him deeply, his heart must also be joyful .”

At the end, the smile in his eyes seemed to fade a bit, and in the depths of the dark ink, a little bit of desolation gradually appeared, Jing Zhi looked at him in surprise, but he agreed with his words in his heart, Did she never expect that he, who has always been ruthless and cruel, has such an insight into the true meaning of love?

"Later, the girl collected the lover's body and buried her lover behind a deep mountain. With the red silk thread on the red hijab embroidered by herself, she weaved the concentric jade and hung it around her neck. Hanged himself."

"Ah, this girl is so infatuated?" Jing Zhi was a little surprised. The two of them didn't know each other very well. What's more, the man kept hiding his identity from her, and the girl was willing to die for him. Some surprised.

"Because she has something to belong to and what she wants, the person she cared about has disappeared, so she naturally has nothing to love, so it's normal." Meng Shaoting said in a low voice, his expression unchanged.

The boss continued: "After a long time, her body was discovered by passing hunters. I heard that the girl's face was still rosy, and she was as beautiful and moving as before. The concentric knot hanging around the girl's neck is imitated by the girls because of its exquisite style and beautiful meaning. It has been passed down from generation to generation. We can't be separated anymore, that girl's soul will last for a thousand years, and she will bless these men and women with sympathetic knots..."

"Is that really the case?" Jingzhi was immersed in this story for a long time, and she asked in a daze until she heard the last sentence.

"Girl, if you don't believe me, just go and ask around. The concentric knots we sell here are the most authentic ones. They were handmade by the 98-year-old grandmother in the town one by one, because I am somewhat related to her." , she entrusted me to sell it on behalf of me, but I can’t buy it anywhere else! The old lady and her husband exchanged sympathy knots. The two of them have never blushed or quarreled in their lives. The grandfather is now [-] years old, and his body is still strong. Let's go!"

"Let's buy a pair." Meng Shaoting said gently, and pointed to the pair of red concentric knots: "This is the red one."

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you..."

"No need." Meng Shaoting took the wallet to pay, and then took over the pair of concentric knots. He unpacked the rough packaging and saw the two red bracelets, which were indeed extremely simple and exquisite. However, there wasn't much expression on her face, she just pulled Jingzhi's hand over, put the slightly smaller one on her, and then put the other on her wrist, looking left and right, like Nodding in satisfaction, she pulled Jing Zhi back: "Let's go, the car is here."

His tone was light, and he walked slowly. Jingzhi was a little stunned. After being dragged away by him for a long time, she realized that there was a flash of struggle in her clear eyes, but she still opened her mouth; "Meng Shaoting , why did you give me this thing?"

He raised his eyebrows, but still said calmly, "Why bother to ask knowingly."

"I don't want it." After Jing Zhi finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to roll the chain on her wrist. Her complexion was a little pale, but bursts of inexplicable anger welled up in her heart. Why should he do whatever he wants? If he wants to divorce, he can get a divorce. If you want to reconcile, then reconcile. If he wants her or not, then he doesn't want her. If he wants to pester her for the rest of his life, she should resign herself to staying by his side for the rest of her life?

She will never wear this concentric knot with him!Even if she wants to wear them, she and Shao Xuan will bring a pair!The two of them will be together for a long time and never be separated, and she and him, Meng Shaoting, will be entangled for the rest of their lives?Don't even think about it!
"You don't want it?" His face was extremely dark for a moment, he took a step forward, and grabbed her hand at once.

"Yes, no, I don't want it!" Jing Zhi looked at him, her eyes were as stubborn as ever, the stubbornness and alienation that couldn't be resolved after all her efforts, the hatred and disgust that would never go away, like a sharp Sting, stabbing made him feel distressed and unbearable.

"Fu Jingzhi! Don't try another damn thing!" He suddenly grabbed her wrist and almost pulled her off the ground. The cold light in his eyes was extremely frightening. Staring at her eyes, almost looking at her, looking at her extremely stubborn expression!
ps: The story of the concentric knot was fabricated by Zhuzhu. Any resemblance is purely coincidental. (Actually, this story is too clichéd, embarrassing.) Add more today, more than [-] words, look forward to the monthly tickets of the girls... Zhuzhu is awesome , Everyone should work hard! !
