Song Yi

Chapter 355
In the dream, Du Wenhao seemed to have returned to a familiar place again, with pavilions, towers and pavilions, fairy music fluttering, a huge house, full of exotic flowers and plants, Du Wenhao was thinking in his dream, this place seemed to come to him However, he crossed a small bridge with ease, and saw a gazebo not far away, surrounded by white veils, fluttering in the wind, and there seemed to be a slim woman sitting in front of the table under the pavilion, There was a qin on the desk, and the woman's face could not be seen clearly, as if it was the same color as the veil. Du Wenhao was about to step forward, when he saw a few new graves beside him, and on the tombstone closest to him was written: Du Wenhao couldn't help being taken aback by the word Ke Ming. At this moment, the voice of the woman under the pavilion reached Du Wenhao's ears, "Wen Hao, you're here."

Du Wenhao got goosebumps when he heard the voice, and said, "Do you recognize me?"

There was a burst of laughter from under the pavilion, and said: "Look at you, we are together every day, why do you ask this question?"

Du Wenhao was about to go up to see what happened, but who would have thought that the gazebo could move, it would move when Du Wenhao took a step, and it would also move quickly when Du Wenhao ran, but he didn't let Du Wenhao get close.

Du Wenhao was tired, so he simply stopped.

The woman under the pavilion said, "What are you doing here?"

Du Wenhao: "Where is this?"

The woman sighed leisurely, and said: "When you picked me up, you didn't remember it. It seems that you really don't have me in your heart. Let's go, and don't come here again."

Du Wenhao wanted to say more, but he saw that the pavilions and pavilions disappeared without a trace in an instant, and there was nothing but desolation around him, and even the houses could not be seen, and he was falling rapidly, with thunder rumbling in his ears.

Du Wenhao was startled awake, opened his eyes, everything was the same, there was a knock on the door, thump, thump, thump.

"Who is it?" Du Wenhao shouted towards the door without getting up.

"it's me."

Du Wenhao recognized Lin Qingdai's voice, and hurriedly got up and opened the door with bare feet. Lin Qingdai came in and turned around to close the door.

Du Wenhao took Lin Qingdai to the bed and sat down. Seeing Lin Qingdai's sad face, it must be because of Ke Yao's business, so he asked, "Is Ke Yao better?"

Lin Qingdai: "Well, it's better - I asked clearly, she didn't get lost, she accidentally fell off the cliff, and that's why she was injured. Fortunately, she happened to hang on a big tree when she fell, and she I can also do some kung fu myself, so I don’t fall to my death.”

Du Wenhao was also afraid for a while. Seeing that Lin Qingdai's eyes were a little red, he must have cried just now, and said: "Fortunate people, after a catastrophe, there will be future blessings. It's all right. Is she not seriously injured?"

"Yuqin checked her and found no bones. There were several deep wounds on her legs and back. Yuqin is treating her with debridement and bandaging."

Du Wenhao recalled his previous dream, was the person in the dream Ke Yao?If yes, what does she in the dream herald?I have no reason to agree to take care of her, but I want to drive her away. She has no relatives. I really don't know what kind of situation it would be like for a child who is all alone and will fall into the brothel again. among.

At this time, Yingzi came up and said, "Master, the meal is ready, let's eat!"

Du Wenhao and the others went downstairs to the dining hall, and everyone was already sitting at the table.

Xue Fei'er rubbed her stomach as if nothing had happened, and said to Du Wenhao: "Brother, you slept well this time, our stomachs are almost touching our backs, hurry, hurry, hurry, the man brings the food, I'm starving to death .”

Lian'er said: "Master, Ke Yao's food has already been sent upstairs by the staff."

Du Wenhao sat down to eat without saying a word.Everyone didn't dare to speak anymore.

After eating in silence, Du Wenhao saw that Pang Yuqin had finished eating, so he said, "Yuqin, go out with me for a walk, it's not good to stay in the room after eating."

Pang Yuqin nodded, got up and followed Du Wenhao out of the inn door.

The two walked slowly towards the top of the mountain.After walking a long distance, Du Wenhao remained silent, but Pang Yuqin did not speak either.

Finally, the two came to the top of the peak. Du Wenhao looked up for a while, then turned to Pang Yuqin who was standing beside him. Seeing a strand of hair falling from her forehead, he gently tied it to his ear Afterwards, Pang Yuqin took advantage of the situation and snuggled into his arms.

The two hugged each other and stood quietly on the top of the peak. After a while, Du Wenhao sighed leisurely.

Pang Yuqin asked softly in his arms: "Sir, are you thinking about Ke Yao?"

"Well, it can't go on like this forever."

Pang Yuqin knew what Du Wenhao was going to say, so she didn't answer. She knew that even if she didn't speak, Du Wenhao would continue.

Du Wenhao paused, and continued: "Ke Yao is an orphan, and he was sold to a brothel by his own second uncle. This is not a pain that anyone can accept. What kind of feeling is this? Those of us who have never experienced the same No one would understand. You won’t have it, Qingdai won’t have it, and even Lian’er, who has been tortured in the palace since she was a child, won’t have it.”

Pang Yuqin raised her head: "Yes, did my husband decide to take her as a concubine? I have no objection."

Du Wenhao smiled and pinched her pink face: "You, I said before that I only think of her as a girl, sympathy and concubine are two different things, there are too many women I sympathize with, I can't all Why don't you go home? Our family can't let it go, can't we?"

Pang Yuqin laughed loudly: "Then what do you mean?"

Du Wenhao looked at the distant mountains, pondered for a moment, and said: "I originally wanted to procrastinate like this. If she gets bored, she will leave or find a man she likes to marry. But after this incident, I feel that I can no longer be so ignorant." Bai's procrastination, I must clarify this matter, let Fei'er let you all know, and let Ke Yao know, I only treat her as a girl and will not take her as a concubine. I know she is interested in me, so I have to ask her to stop thinking about it, so she can't be so vague and waste her life."

Pang Yuqin thought for a while, and said worriedly: "She won't be able to accept it."

"Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. She may not be able to accept it for a while, but it is for her own good, and she will understand in the future. Let's go back and clarify this matter now. If you don't clarify this matter, Fei'er will still Troubling her will still irritate her. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, this time she was lucky not to die, and there is no guarantee that she will be so lucky next time!"

"Well, Xianggong is right, and Ke Yao is not an unreasonable person. The matter is clear, and it is good for everyone."

After the two unified their minds, they went down the mountain hand in hand and returned to the inn.

Du Wenhao asked Yingzi to call everyone to his room.Both Lin Qingdai and Lian'er looked worried, Yingzi pretended not to know anything, and hugged the little tiger cub to smooth its fur.Ke Yao's face was a little pale, he bit his teeth lightly and lowered his head.On the contrary, Xue Fei'er looked as if nothing had happened, with braids in her hands, humming an unknown ditty in her mouth, and tilted her head to look at the twilight outside the window.It's just that a trace of melancholy flashed across his eyebrows inadvertently.

Du Wenhao sat upright on the teacher's chair, and Pang Yuqin sat beside him.Du Wenhao hesitated for a moment, then said slowly: "There is something I want to tell everyone about Ke Yao and our family. I discussed it with Yuqin, and this matter must be clarified..."

Ke Yao was startled, suddenly raised his head, smiled and said, "Brother, I also want to make this matter clear, some people gossip behind their backs, saying that I want to marry you, so I follow you with shame..."

Xue Fei'er snorted and muttered, "Isn't it?"

Ke Yao turned to look at Xue Fei'er: "Sister Fei'er, what I want to explain today is this matter. Brother and Sister Qingdai sympathized with my loneliness, took me in by their side, and recognized me as a sister. I am very grateful. You know, my brother is a good man with a kind heart and excellent medical skills, so he is easy to please girls, but not all women want to marry him when they see him, but I am such a person."

"Duplicity!" Xue Fei'er muttered again.

Ke Yao smiled and said: "The man I like is not the type of brother. He is too kind and sometimes even weak. As a brother, I admire him very much, but as a husband, I don't like him. I hope that my future husband will be a resolute and courageous person, even a cold-blooded one..."

Xue Fei'er said leisurely: "It's true that you have this kind of thinking, people in your family are very cold-blooded, for example, your second uncle, who is a beast, won't sell you..."

"Fei'er!" Du Wenhao frowned and stared at Xue Fei'er, "Can't you just listen to Ke Yao's words quietly before you speak? Can't you speak without thorns? Can't you not expose people's scars?"

Xue Fei'er heard that Du Wenhao's tone was a little harsh, she didn't dare to speak, she pouted and bowed her head.

Ke Yao said sadly: "It's okay, brother, Sister Fei'er is right, my second uncle is a beast, he sold me to the brothel, if it wasn't for brother, you saved me, I'm afraid I would have died in that filthy brothel." place..."

Ke Yao's words made Xue Fei'er a little embarrassed, and she muttered: "I didn't mean to look down on you..."

Ke Yao said: "I am grateful to you for saving me and taking me in, but, brother, please forgive me, some people may say that I am hypocritical, but I still want to make it clear, brother, I cannot marry you, even if you are willing to marry me, I can't marry you either, because - I don't want to be your concubine either. That's all I want to say!"

Xue Fei'er pursed her lips and wanted to say that she was looking for face for herself, but she couldn't help being startled when she heard her last sentence of not being a concubine: "You..., you don't want to be a concubine?"

Ke Yao made a pretty face: "Although our Ke family has fallen, we were once one of the largest families in Jiazhou, and many of our ancestors were famous. None of the women in our Ke family has ever been someone else's concubine. .Although I, Ke Yao, are unworthy, I can't embarrass my ancestors!"

What Ke Yao said was very reasonable. In ancient times, the status of concubines was similar to that of maids. Children born by themselves could only recognize their original spouse as their mother, and they could only call their own mother as aunt.Therefore, women from rich families rarely serve as concubines.Since Ke Yao's family has this ancestral precept, Ke Yao will naturally not be Du Wenhao's concubine.

Xue Fei'er immediately smiled all over her face, and got up and took Ke Yao's hand very affectionately: "Oh, why didn't you say it earlier, look at this misunderstanding! Sister Ke Yao, don't worry about the things that my sister offended before, Sister makes an apology to you!" Say it, and Yingying gave a salute.

Ke Yao hastily returned the gift: "Sister Fei'er is serious."

Xue Fei'er pulled Ke Yao to sit beside her, put her arms around her shoulders and said: "Okay! We will be a family from now on, and you will be my Xue Fei'er's own sister! Anyone who dares to bully you, I will not agree! "

Pang Yuqin smiled and said, "If you don't bully her, you will be Amitabha!"

Everyone laughed.

Du Wenhao didn't expect the result to be like this, and this result was exactly what he hoped for.He smiled and said: "Okay, from now on, our family will live together in harmony."

All the girls were very happy, but no one noticed the teardrops in the corners of Ke Yao's eyes.

----------------
There is a small courtyard to the east of the backyard of the Foyin Inn, which is the inner courtyard of Shopkeeper Leng, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. It is a rule set by Shopkeeper Leng. Even the shop assistants are not allowed to enter, but the people on the mountain It is said that there is a woman in it, the wife of the shopkeeper Leng, who is quite beautiful, but no one has seen it.

Hengshan has a pleasant climate, and the family can live in harmony again, which made Du Wenhao very happy and decided to stay longer.

On this day, Du Wenhao played chess with Qian Bushou, Yan Miaoshou and Li Pu on a jujube tree in the backyard.

People who watch chess are always more anxious than those who play chess. Li Pu is a stinky chess player, but he just likes to make moves. He stands aside and looks at Du Wenhao's indifferent appearance. He has to yell a few words from time to time. Displeased, he said, "Why does a gentleman talk so much?"

"Hey, Imperial Physician Qian, I'm sorry..." Li Pu laughed dryly and stayed quiet for a while, looking impatient, but couldn't help but make a move.

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Can't you be quiet for a while? Why didn't you see the wonderful hand and talk?"

Yan Miaoshou laughed at the side: "Master, I want to talk about it, but I am afraid that Master will slap me with big ears, hehe."

Li Pu laughed, waved his hands and said, "Okay, I don't want to watch it at all. If you want me to shut up, you might as well kill me." After speaking, he went to the stone bench next to him and sat down to drink tea and enjoy the cool.

Shaking his head angrily and amusedly by not accepting the money, he continued to think about how to apply.

Li Pu was idle and bored by himself, so he stood up and started walking around the backyard, looking over his head from time to time.

Just when he walked to the east wall, he suddenly heard someone giggling inside the wall.Li Pu searched for laughter, walked to a locked wooden door, pushed it lightly, looked through the crack of the door, and saw a pair of dark eyes staring at him, Li Pu couldn't help but groaned, and backed away two steps.

Du Wenhao and the others heard Li Pu's voice and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yan Miaoshou smiled and said, "He's just idle and bored, that's why he called to attract our attention to him."

Li Pu walked over to them in a hurry, and said, "There was a man staring at me in the backyard of that small courtyard, and I was shocked!"

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "I only found out today that the great general is also frightened, ha ha."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Du Wenhao dropped a chess piece and said with a smile, "You lost!"

Qian Bushou looked down, and Du Wenhao had already destroyed one of the two remaining eye positions of a big dragon that was heavily besieged and ready to work on the spot.He couldn't help throwing the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard in frustration, and said, "Hey, Master won again, Master really made a brilliant move!"

Du Wenhao was in a good mood after winning the chess, he got up and said, "Let's go, let's see who is the person who surprised our generals."

Du Wenhao followed Li Pu to the door, and saw through the crack of the door that there was no one there. After looking around, he found that it was a small yard with only two houses in it. He was about to leave when suddenly someone in the yard yelled , startled Du Wenhao.I saw a woman with disheveled hair and bare feet rushing towards the door carrying a hoe.

Du Wenhao took two steps back, and asked in horror: "This..., could it be some monster raised by Shopkeeper Leng?"

"You are the monster, watch me come out and kill you!" The people in the yard seemed to hear it and screamed.

At this moment, I heard the voice of shopkeeper Leng from a distance: "My lord, be careful!"

Du Wenhao turned his head and saw that it was Treasurer Leng, pointing to the yard and saying, "Who is the person in here...?"

Shopkeeper Leng didn't answer directly, he bowed with a smile, walked to the door, and said kindly to the person in the door: "Yun'er, good boy, it's going to be windy, hurry back to the house."

Hearing the woman in the yard yell, and her footsteps gradually drifted away, the shopkeeper Leng turned his head and smiled at Du Wenhao reluctantly: "I'm really sorry, the people inside are sluts, and they have been in poor health, so they have been alone all the time. Live in it."

The money is not accepted: "If you are not in good health, you should see a doctor. My master has lived here these days and hasn't seen you say a word?"

The shopkeeper Leng just laughed and didn't answer.

The next day.

Ke Yao ran to find Du Wenhao early in the morning, saying that they found a good place halfway up the mountain, with water and wild fruits, and asked Du Wenhao to accompany her to pick wild fruits.

Although Ke Yao had expressed his attitude, Du Wenhao still tried to avoid being alone with her, but seeing Ke Yao's longing face, he couldn't bear to refuse. When he saw Pang Yuqin coming, he seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly said: " Yuqin, Ke Yao said he wants to pick wild fruits, are you free?"

Pang Yuqin took a look, saw Du Wenhao blinking at him, and immediately understood, and said, "Master, you agreed to accompany me to the shop to choose some silk threads, why did you accompany Ke Yao to pick wild fruits? Don't you know how to split a body?" ?”

Du Wenhao slapped his forehead, and he suddenly realized: "Yes, why did I forget about this, let's go, buy silk thread, Ke Yao, I'm sorry, why don't you ask Li Pu or the guard to accompany you , your injuries are still not healed, so be careful!" After finishing speaking, she dragged Pang Yuqin out the door.

Ke Yao pouted, stomped his feet, turned and left.

When Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin came out of the inn, they saw Shopkeeper Leng standing at the door. Seeing them coming out, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them and bowed their hands: "My lord got up quite early."

"Yeah, how can such a pleasant mountain scenery be used to sleep soundly. Zhuojing and I will go out for a walk."

Shopkeeper Leng opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then leaned forward and whispered: "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"
