The Classic of Mountains and Seas Through Ancient and Modern Times

Chapter 28

When the light of the last star in the night sky was swallowed up, a white figure landed steadily on a poplar tree, then looked back at the others behind him and urged: "Follow up quickly!"

It's just that this sounded really annoying, especially Lu Jiaqi, who was carrying the child on her back, jumped a little when she heard the words, and couldn't help raising her voice: "Li Mu!" Chang lowered his voice: "Can you please stop standing and talking without back pain? Don't you see that we are all old, weak, sick and disabled?"

It is said that Lu Jiaqi has Li Nianjin who is entrusted to sleep soundly. The child is really happy. It can be said that he can sleep when he sleeps, or the kind of sleep that does not care about the collapse of the world?Although she was only four or five years old, she was exhausted from the journey.

On the contrary, Li Mu was at his leisure. He only carried a burden to stop and go along the way, and occasionally flew in the air. A big man would be embarrassed.Thinking of landing, Lu Jiaqi couldn't help complaining: "Li Mu, can't you do it for us?"

"No," Li Mu refused indifferently, without looking at what kind of people these ordinary people are?He also dared to let him carry it, "If you can't carry it anymore, just throw him down, and I can carry you."

Lu Jiaqi was a little stunned when she heard the words, this, throw it down without moving her back, is this something that a person can say?Is there any sympathy in the end?
This side was complaining, when suddenly there was a muffled sound behind him, and then Acan shouted anxiously: "My lord, how are you doing, my lord?"

The others looked back and saw Li Jinzhi lying on the ground and A Can kneeling on the ground.Li Jinzhi stretched out his bloody left hand to hold Ah Can's hand: "Ah Can, I'm dying, this time I'm really dying, leave me alone, and don't feel sorry for me."

"No," A Can shook her head, gritted her teeth and pointed at the tears, "No, my lord, please don't say that, A Can will definitely not let you have trouble, my lord, please don't say that..."

"A Can," Li Jinzhi interrupted her, "Why bother? A person like me who commits all kinds of crimes and has no conscience should have died long ago. If I continue to live like this, it will only bring disaster and harm to those innocent people."

"Young master, it's not like that, young master, don't say that, okay? No matter what you do, you are the best young master in A Can's heart," the woman shook her head vigorously, holding his hand against her face .

Li Jinzhi smiled weakly when he heard the words: "The best son? Heh, all this is just a big joke to me. I used to think that if one day I become that master, I must, must Be a person who is helpful to the country and the people."

"The trip to the great road has also written that'the old man is not alone in kissing his relatives, not only in his sons, so that the old will die, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and the widowed, widowed, lonely, alone, and the disabled will be supported. , Men have a share, and women have a return.' My father became a breadwinner before I was born and went to join the army, but he never came back. "

"My mother has always been sick and helpless, but she raised me without any complaints." Li Jinzhi looked at the gradually whitening sky and said numbly about his ideals.

"She was ill that year. Apart from getting medicine for her, I couldn't even give her a sip of white rice porridge. I was desperate to beg, but I was beaten and insulted by those people. From then on, I swore that if one day I am an official, and I must be a good official, so that everyone can be reunited, so that those children will not suffer what my mother and I have suffered."

"But~ I became an official, and there was no sign of promotion for two years in a row, and I didn't give my mother the life she wanted. I don't understand, I really don't understand, I work so hard and work hard, why do I have nothing to do? Can't get it?"

"Later I met Uncle Guo, he admired me very much, he was very happy to give me a chance, and married his daughter to me. At that time, I was very happy, I thought my chance came, I thought I could take my mother Enjoying the glory and wealth, but, after all, this is just an appearance, after knowing the purpose of the uncle, I abandoned my mother, I have dragged her down for so many years, and I don't want to drag her down anymore."

Speaking of which, Li Jinzhi looked in his mother's direction, but saw his mother tightly covering her mouth, looking in his direction with dull eyes, and staggered over when she heard Li Jinzhi's call, if it wasn't for Hua Shuo's help Hold on, I'm afraid I'm going to fall down.

"My son~ Jinzhi, why are you so stupid?" Li's mother patted Li Jinzhi's body, "Mother doesn't want to be rich, my mother's biggest wish is that you are safe and sound, and it is enough for you to be by her side. I have always explained to your deceased father, why are you so stupid? Jin Zhi~"

Hearing this, Li Jinzhi showed a bitter smile: "Really? It turned out that I was wrong after all." Looking at the gradually brightening sky, Li Jinzhi said suddenly, "Is the sun about to rise? It's so beautiful. I didn't expect to see it again One day in Chaoyang, Acan!"

The man's only remaining hand held her tightly with his left hand: "I am sorry for you in this life. If there is an afterlife, I will do your best for you. I'm sorry, but I ruined your life."

"Mother, if there is an afterlife, I will still be your son. At that time, I am not seeking fame and fortune. Even if there is only one reckless man, I will stay by your side and stay with you for the rest of my life."

But A Can held his hand tightly, and cried out in tears: "No, young master, you don't want to die, I don't want your next life, I don't want you to be a cow, I just want you to live, young master! "

"I'm sorry." The light in Li Jinzhi's eyes gradually dissipated, and the hand held tightly by A Can seemed to turn into flying ash and float into the air in an instant, before disappearing without a trace in a blink of an eye.

The orange-red sun seemed to have finally broken free from the shackles of the mountains. The morning light of early autumn shrouded the mountains like a dream, and a slightly withered yellow leaf fell to the ground in fluttering motions.

Lu Jiaqi supported Li Nianjin with one hand, and touched her cheek as soon as she said it, feeling a little cold, she didn't know when she shed tears.

Li Mu, who had been watching it for a long time, also jumped down. Seeing Lu Jiaqi's distressed appearance, he wanted to tease him, but he couldn't speak for some reason.

After the group continued to walk for an hour, A Can suddenly asked to go back to Li Nianjin, and Lu Jiaqi knew that they were going to leave.

Sure enough, A Can smiled and said, "Miss Lu, thank you, let's stay here now!"

Lu Jiaqi hesitated for a while, then said, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Of course it is to live well," Acan reluctantly curled the corners of her lips, "Young master said, let me live." Then she held the child and took Li's mother's hand, "Mom, let's go!" Go to another fork in the road.

Lu Jiaqi sighed slightly watching the backs of the three of them drifting away. In this age, it must be very hard for a woman!

"We should go!" Li Mu suddenly interrupted her train of thought and strode forward, her tone still emotionless.

Lu Jiaqi couldn't help being annoyed by his attitude, and finally took two quick steps and snatched the bag from his hand and said in a strange way: "Let me take it! I don't dare to excuse you!"

Li Mu and Hua Shuo were speechless for a while.

Yangzhou City is located in the south, and it is also the ultimate place for merchants from all walks of life to go south and north.I don't know when a tea stand was set up in Yangzhou City, and at the same time, some noodles were sold to merchants on the way.

One day, a merchant just wanted a basket of steamed buns to take away, when the shopkeeper saw a dirty black hand touching the white-faced steamed buns. The owner of the dirty hands was a little beggar girl.When he saw that he was found, he immediately turned around and ran with the steamed buns, but accidentally fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the female shopkeeper sighed slightly, took two steamed buns and handed them to the little beggar: "Eat it! You always want to live, don't you?" Just like when the man in rich clothes helped her up many years ago. While giving her steamed buns, he said to her: You have to live, don't you?
