Chapter 1071: Just one step away

After autumn, the days are short and nights long.
When we were ready, we also packed our luggage. Even some traumas on Cai Wei were covered with medicine and the outside sky had begun to darken.
The time agreed with Yaxing is coming soon.
Ruxiang went back halfway, and then came back soon. This time she brought a big bag. She bulged like a person inside. When she brought it to the bed, the bed shook. Just a moment. I looked at her in surprise: "What are you holding, gold bars? It's so heavy."
"clothes!"
She smiled and wiped the sweat while unpacking the baggage. I only saw that there were dozens of clothes in her stack. There were many colorful patterns, more than I saw in that silk satin village today. Many more.
She is now the owner of the embroidery workshop. Not to mention that she has a lot of waists and assets, but she dresses very plainly and is not expensive; although she wears plainness herself, she can bring these clothes, but they are piece by piece. They are all very delicate. I picked one up and saw only the delicate plum blossoms embroidered on the placket and cuffs. They were gorgeous and vivid, and I was amazed.
"This--"
"This is what I brought to you to change." She said, "Look, this time you come here, you do n’t have a change of clothes, you ca n’t always wear it like this. You see, is there anything you like, or do you like it? , I'll bring you another suit. "
"I went to town today to buy one."
"How is a set enough ?!"
"But you don't need that much."
"Aren't you going to the capital, this mountain is so long, how can you not bring a few more? Besides, even if you don't need it, the girl Cai Wei will want it. I'll save you some money."
"But it's really too much."
"Aren't you hiring a carriage anyway, what are you afraid of!"
I was blocked by her, and I had nothing to say. After all, what she said makes sense. Anyway, she hired a carriage and was not afraid of any more luggage, not to mention that Cai Wei came along with me without any long objects. With these clothes, you can also prepare for the occasional need, which really saves money.
I had nothing to say, I just shook my head with a smile and continued to look at the skirts she picked out of the bag. However, turning over, I pulled out a few sets of menswear from below, although she brought me without it. The women's clothing is so fine and beautiful, but also quite elegant, especially those buttons on the neckline, one by one, it is obvious that it took a lot of effort.
I couldn't help but chuckled a laugh and said, "Why, did you bring the clothes from your family? Let him go with me?"
"These--" She glanced slightly, her face darkened: "It's for the third brother."
"..."
"Go get him."
She said, her expression became more and more bleak, and said, "This time, he came back, but he didn't say a word. I also know that he is different from before, but no matter what, I still think he is me. Brother three. Now both of you are gone, who knows what will happen to you in the future, and who knows, I can't see you again. "
"..."
She said with a mouthful of tears and tears: "Keep these clothes in mind as well."
When I saw her like this, I was afraid that I would be more sad when I parted, and hurriedly said, "Okay, I listen to you, I'll stay."
She glanced at me, and then barely stopped her sorrow.
I picked up those men's clothing, although it was not as fine and beautiful as the women's clothing she brought me above, but also quite elegant, especially those buttons on the neckline, which were carefully crafted, which obviously took a lot of effort .
She said, "Take it down for him. I'll help you pack your things."
"Don't you take it to him?"
She shook her head and said, "This is for me. If you don't give it to him, it's yours."
"..."
I was so embarrassed by her that she couldn't speak at all, especially when she looked at the sly eyes in her eyes, and realized that even if we knew that we were leaving, we would be separated, and she still did not give up the idea of ​​trying to match us.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, but I didn't say anything. I pulled a piece of cloth out of my hand and wrapped it into a bag, and then I walked downstairs. Who knew that when he reached halfway up the stairs, he saw a footstep coming from below. Looking up, Liu Qinghan also came up from downstairs, holding a cloth bag in his hand.
When they met at first, they both froze.
"you--"
"you--"
As soon as I saw the cloth bag in his hand, I immediately understood and smiled, "It's my clothes, right?"
"Ok."
He picked it up and handed it to me, and I handed him the big bag, and asked, "What's this?"
"your clothes."
He frowned, but still took it from the kind: "Where did it come from?"
"Ruta is for you."
"she was--?"
"You have to remember, thank her."
"..."
At this moment, his eyes flickered a few times, as if there were many emotions coming to his mind, but when he reached the mouth, he said nothing.
After a moment of silence, he said dumbly, "Thank you for helping me."
"I will."
"..."
"Do you have anything else for me to bring to her?"
"..."
He glanced at me and shook his head.
Then, he turned and went downstairs without turning back.
I stood on the stairs and watched his figure disappear in the yard.


After a while, it was completely dark outside and it was time for us to leave.
In order to be safe and not to cause unnecessary trouble, Ruxiang was
ordered
not to send us out. She didn't hold back this time, holding me crying happily, and all my shoulders , and looking at her like this, I almost cry, but I ca n’t cry arrogantly, because I know that there are too many things on the way for me to face, if I cry too early now, Strength will be exhausted too soon.
After soothing her, letting her return home, without having to stretch out our departure, I took Cai Wei and Liu Qinghan and they left the small yard together.
Under the dark of night, we quickly walked to the village and the river.
The scenery here seems to be the same as when I lived here many years ago when I left here.
No matter how the world changes, the mountains and rivers show a different kind of ruthlessness, like a third person watching coldly, a stranger, watching all the sadness and joy in this world quietly, unchanged.
We walked to the river, listening to the sound of the water, and watching the sparkling waves, for a time, I was a little confused, whether I sent him away, or he sent me away, or, in fact, we are still in many That night a year ago, when I came here, I saw him squatting on the beach and making a handwriting with small branches.
Autumn is the most nosy, red maple leaf white head.
...
恻恻 Light cold wind and shear wind, apricot blossom snow and small pink.
A completely different mood is also a completely different road. I hope he went the way he didn't go; I was terrified of where he would go, and he insisted not to leave.
Thinking of this, I turned to look at him.
Under the night, his silhouette was still the same, clear and clear, but the silver mask, as always, added a chill to his breath.
He kept his head down, as if thinking something, feeling my eyes, turning his head to look at me: "Huh?"
I smiled and shook my head.
He thoughtfully, turned around and looked around, and said, "What about your carriage?"
"I asked them to come here in a hurry, and now the hour has not yet arrived, it will take a while."
"Oh."
"What about your boat?"
"Yusheng went to see it, and there should be a while later."
"Oh."
After speaking, there seems to be nothing to say.
The people brought by Xiao Yusheng were very glamorous, and they followed far behind, even picking Wei, eating and sleeping, and having the spirit, carrying our big bag, which is the only luggage, also far away. Follow. With her cleverness, even if she couldn't guess Liu Qinghan's identity, she could understand my relationship with him to some extent. She didn't ask a question or get closer.
So, this seems to be the only time he and I can spend alone.
However, even if no one is disturbing, even if it is not far from my feet, the flowing river water and the flickering waves of light show a sense of urgency, as if urging us, but me and him, He didn't speak anymore.
Just stood so quietly.
On the autumn night, the wind was so cold. Standing on the riverside, after a while, I felt the coolness, and as time went by, the wind was blowing slowly, and the river was rushing towards the shore, and after a while, They swallowed the rocky beach under our feet, and I took a step back and took another step, stepping unconsciously into the dark lush grass near the rocky beach.
When I heard a flutter, a light beneath our feet reflected our eyes.
There were countless fireflies flying from the grass.
He and I were a little caught off guard and lost their reaction. They all stood there, just watching the countless stars and flying around us. The flashes of light seemed to be stars in the night sky, and they seemed to be Years ago, some of him and me were already sealed in memory.
Like these fireflies, like in front of you.
He froze.
I looked at the fireflies quietly, feeling that my eyes were illuminated, and then I turned my head and looked at his silhouette illuminated by the flash of fireflies, somehow smiling slightly. a bit.
He heard my laughter and looked at me again: "What are you laughing at?"
"It's nothing, but suddenly I remember something."
"what?"
I glanced at him and smiled again: "Nothing."
When I said that, I lowered my head and looked at the fireflies that were disturbed and gradually dispersed away-memories, after all, just memories. Even if it is clear, even if it is sighing ... but it has passed.
No one can always live in memory.
He was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "I remember something, too."
"Oh?" I was lacking in interest: "What's the matter?"
"Some things between you and me."
"...!"
I froze slightly, some could not believe my ears, turned to look at him: "What?"
He looked at me quietly: "I remember something about us."
"..."
At this moment, it's no exaggeration to say that my breathing and heartbeat stopped together.
Because I can't hear the wind, I can't hear the water, I can't even hear my breath and heartbeat, but I can hear what he just said, and even echo in my ear more clearly than once, deafening.
what did he say? !!
He remembered something about me and him? !!
When I spoke, my voice was dumb: "You--"
He looked at me and said: "The two of us started from meeting each other in Jinling, and every time, it seems to be this distance."
"..."
what?
"You were red in February and asked me for a poem. At that time, the two of us were this distance."
"..."
"Later, in Xichuan, you arrived on my ship. When we reached an agreement, it was this distance."
"..."
"In the Tallinn of Tianmu Temple, when you and me‘ open the eyes of the sky to see the red dust ’, this distance is the same.

"..."
He said, smiling slightly, turning his head to look at me.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the blood in my whole body had cooled down, and even at this moment, it became frozen into ice.
Almost subconsciously, I looked down at me and him, our shoulders, our steps, there was indeed a distance between the two.
No more, no more, one step.
He looked at me, silent for a long time, and said, "Just one step away."
...
Yes, it turned out that he and I have had so many opportunities, and so many times to be able to approach, but intentionally or unintentionally, there is a little distance.
Just one step away.
It just happened.
I looked at him and smiled.
At this moment, a sound came from the front.
The sound of horseshoes, the of the wheels bumping against the stone road, and the resistance of the bow to cut through the river, and the sound of rushing water came together. We both looked up, and we saw the road in front of the village. A carriage slowly came over from the night, and a boat came by the river. Xiao Yusheng stood on the bow of the boat with his hands on his back and looked at us from afar.
It's time.
The attendants who were behind us, as well as Cai Wei, immediately walked up. The attendants saluted me, and then urged Liu Qinghan to get on the boat. Liu Qinghan was uncharacteristically and said, "I will send you first. Get in the car. "
I glanced at him and said nothing, and the two walked towards the carriage together.
That was the carriage I ordered in Yaxing during the day. The driver was also an honest and middle-aged man. When he saw us approaching, he immediately jumped out of the car and saluted to me: "Mrs."
I nodded and said nothing, he said beside him, "Get in the car."
But just then, the driver suddenly said, "Madam, someone asked me to bring something to my wife."
I froze.
Someone asked him to bring something to me?
There was a stun in my heart, and suddenly I felt a bit wrong, and Liu Qinghan frowned suddenly,
