Legend of the Demon Emperor of Kyushu

Chapter 67 Yin Changqin (5)

Seeing Yuezhen, Yin Changqin stayed in the house, waiting for Qi He'er to return.

After his legs were paralyzed, his temper became violent.Sometimes looking at the birds flying around outside the window, he would suddenly smash the window frame; when he heard the businessmen talking loudly about the news outside the town, he would suddenly throw the wine jar beside him on the ground.

At times like this, Qi He'er always came to comfort him over and over again.When Qi He'er was not around, he would hug his paulownia qin tightly, which also allowed him to control his emotions.

For these are his last reliance on earth.

Guessing that Qi Heer was about to go home, Yin Changqin pushed the four-wheeled cart (a travel tool that Qi Heer specially asked a carpenter to make for Yin Changqin, shaped like a wheelchair) in front of the instrument, and played the strings.

Fortunately, to this day, Qi He'er still likes to listen to his music.So he always played the piano at such times, hoping that when Qi He'er returned home, he could hear his piano first.This was the last useful thing he, a crippled man, could do.

"Zheng!"

Suddenly, the string broke.

Yin Changqin raised his palm in disbelief, then put it back on the piano, and then—"Zheng!" Another string broke.

"Zheng!"

"Zheng!"

Yin Changqin raised his hand tremblingly, and then slammed it on the handlebar of the car!

However it didn't work.

stiff.

His fingers were also stiff.

"Move!" Yin Changqin roared loudly, and smashed his two hands on the surface of the piano again, making a "bang bang" sound.

"Move!"

The slender fingers quickly became red and swollen. However, no matter how Yin Changqin yelled or beat him, the fingers still could not regain consciousness and could only make some slow movements.

Like when his leg suddenly failed three years ago.

Just like two years ago, his meridians suddenly froze, and his mana stagnated in his body, making him unable to use any more exercises.

The cold poison finally took away his ability to play the piano.

"Please move. He'er, He'er still wants to listen to the piano."

The man's tears hit the broken string.

"Ah!" Yin Changqin was suddenly furious, and threw the whole Qin out, and the body of the Qin slammed into the wall in two pieces.

"Ha, ha, ha..." He was short of breath and furious.

But at this moment, something caught his attention.

"--what?"

I saw a big butterfly flying down from nowhere outside the paper window.Standing on the window frame, the wings flutter quickly, like the eyes of a beauty, with a light body and dancing.

The butterfly keeps fluttering its wings, but never leaves the window frame, so it looks very interesting.Yin Changqin stared blankly at the dancing outside the paper window, and the sound of breathing gradually subsided.

"He'er, come in." Yin Changqin said softly.

"Butterfly" paused for a while on the window frame, and then made two palms, and then, Qi He'er appeared at the door.It turned out that the previous "butterfly" was a finger dance made by her.

"Sorry, I can't play the piano anymore."

Yin Changqin's pale face seemed to have aged ten years suddenly.

Qi He'er walked in, gently hugged Yin Changqin's head, and pressed it against his chest. The two of them snuggled together quietly for a long, long time.

"My lord, the flowers in Tumi Valley are blooming, let's go and see them tomorrow."

A moment of silence.

"it is good."

A smile and tears appeared on Qi He'er's face at the same time, she bent down slightly, and pressed her forehead against Yin Changqin's hair.

When people are down and down, they don't want to see all the bright things.That's because in his heart, there is still a desire to rise up, hoping to return in the best state, and then face all that.If he can accept all that, it means he let go.

Look away and give up are synonymous.

When the moon first rose, Qi He'er seemed to suddenly realize that the two of them hadn't had time to eat, and said, "I'm going to make some hot porridge for you."

Yin Changqin nodded, and Qi Heer left.Seeing the relief on Qi Heer's face, Yin Changqin knew that it was right to agree to Qi Heer. He couldn't even pluck the strings of the zither, so this was the only thing he could do for Qi Heer.

In the dim light, Qi Heer brought porridge and fed him spoonful by spoonful. Just like in the past, just like in the future, their years flowed quietly in the wind of fragrance blown by the girl to the spoon. go.

Blow out the lamp, the moonlight enters the house.

In the middle of the night, Yin Changqin woke up suddenly, climbed onto the four-wheeled vehicle with great effort, and then came to the courtyard where the water was stagnant and clear.

A pitch-black shadow suddenly fell onto the eaves of the wall from nowhere.

"The 'Unending Freezing Curse' of the Barbarian Blizzard Department can only be solved by the caster himself, and it is difficult to find other solutions." The voice came from the black shadow, and the voice was exactly the same as Shi Weng.

"How much time do I have?" Yin Changqin asked.

"If you don't care about it, it will be less than half a year; if that girl continues to use her skills to extend your life, she will die before you."

"Understood." Yin Changqin said calmly, "Thank you all these years."

Shi Weng was silent.However, Yin Changqin knew in his heart that he was able to live until today because of these old friends left by his master Tianqin.

But from now on, it is no longer necessary.

The shadows disappeared into the night.

As soon as the next day dawned, Qi He'er got up early to get ready for Yin Changqin, showing a look of anticipation and joy on her face.

Because today I am going to see flowers in Tumi Valley.

Yin Changqin laughed at her: "It's less than ten miles away, and it takes so much trouble."

But Qi He'er was always smiling, carefully prepared the food, put it on the plate, put the plate into the wooden box, and finally wrapped the wooden box with a package and carried it on his shoulders, apparently intending to stay in it all day. Flower Valley.

The two set off.Although most of the roads are mountain roads, it is not difficult for those who know the way to walk.

Qi He'er pushed Yin Changqin down the mountain road, passed a small wetland, found a natural arch made of rocks, pushed the cart into the stone arch, and saw a bright light.

Countless flowers rushed into the eyes together.

The line of sight is forward, extending into a wide valley.The emerald green branches spew out pure white flowers to the front, filling the bright colors of the valley, which is eye-catching and almost burns the lonely heart.

There are also vines hanging on the mountain wall, with yellow stamens standing upright in the white petals. When the breeze blows, it is beautiful and lovely.

More green, less white, more embellished with yellow, occasionally mixed with a little color of other flowers, here is the kingdom of Tumi.

The vibrant spring scenery is invigorating, so they chatted while pushing the cart into the depths of the flower valley.

Butterflies flowed across the stiff fingertips like running water, and bees buzzed, approaching but not dangerous.

The spring breeze blows, and the wall is full of fragrance.Yin Changqin sniffed his nose and said, "The scent of this flower is familiar."

Qi He'er smiled and said, "But it has a similar aroma to the wine you often drink?"

Yin Changqin raised his head: "Yes, why?"

"Because the most common thing in the town is tea wine." Qi He'er smiled and said:
"When making wine in the town, a spice called 'wood fragrance' is often ground into fine powder, put into wine bottles, and then the wine bottles are sealed.

When it’s time to drink, open the bottle and take the wine, the aroma of the wine is already overflowing, and then sprinkle the tea flower petals on the surface of the wine, the smell of the wine is just like the fragrance of the tea flower, so it is called the tea wine..."

Listening to her narration, Yin Changqin's thoughts drifted away.The wine with floating petals reminded him of the spring and autumn feast in Tianshui City.

At that time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were sitting around Xieshui Garden. Under the gorgeous and huge flower stand, he and the heroic generals had a special drinking order. Whoever fell into the wine glass would drink up the wine... The breeze blew, and pieces of falling petals covered the cups, tables, and the skirts of the people sitting in the seats like snow... Xu Fei, Fu Zhou, Zhang Juan... Now, they are all dead, leaving only a remnant body of themselves , living in the world...

"Crane."

After staying in the valley for an unknown amount of time, Yin Changqin suddenly called Qi He'er's name.

"Go back."

The wind at the end of spring suddenly turned cold, whizzing through the valley, Qi Heer's pupils suddenly widened, trembling and absent-minded.

"Son—"

"Don't worry about me. I have already contacted the master by letter and asked them to take me back to Taiyin Peak. I want to go back to the mountain to guard the tomb for Master at the end, and then write down some experience in practicing exercises, and talk about it as a final gift for me, an unworthy child. A little compensation from Shimen.

You go back to Tianshui City and tell your father about it.Otherwise, if I suddenly disappeared from Jianyue Town, many people in the city would not feel at ease.When they come to Taiyin Peak to check, they will probably be able to see mine... In short, they can feel at ease forever.

In the future, if you want to stay in Tianshui, or go to Langya, or go to Taiyin Peak to practice Taoism, it doesn't matter, there will be someone to take care of you.Come on, I can go home from here by myself.Spring is coming to an end, now is a good time to say goodbye, here is also a good place to say goodbye. "

The spring breeze swayed the snow-white flowers all over the wall, reflecting the color of the jade-faced young man on the ground, shaking the flower shade towards him.Yin Changqin, who was sitting in this scenery, seemed to be just a young talent who came to enjoy the flowers, raised his head and said softly:
"Let me finally, in your heart, still look like a luthier."

Qi He'er opened his mouth, but closed his lips without making a sound.

She could understand Yin Changqin's mind. At some point, what Yin Changqin said was a decision, and there was no room for discussion or change.Because he is not only the third son who is good at playing the piano in Tianshui City, but also Yin Changqin, the former general of Yi State.The tone of his speech now is like issuing a military order, and the military order is like a mountain, and it will never be changed.

"Yes, son."

Qi He'er agreed in a trembling voice, let go of the handle of the cart, and bowed behind Yin Changqin to salute, unable to see whether it was determination or tears under her drooping eyebrows.

And Yin Changqin didn't look back.Until the footsteps gradually faded away, the man also faced Mangu Tumi motionlessly, so no one will ever know what his face looks like at this moment.
