(1/2)
I quietly pointed at him and said slowly: "Yes."
He laughed.
I don't know why at this time, he could still laugh, or he had no other way, so he could only laugh.
If a person is already in a desperate situation and has reached the point where he cannot look back, perhaps only by facing it with a smile can he lose so much.
His laughter was not loud, but it seemed to come from the ground, which made my mind tremble.
But his hand never left the back of my head from beginning to end. At this time, it reminded me of the time when he was in Gantang Village. He once controlled several large acupoints on the back of my head with one hand, and I pointed the knife at his chest.
That time, I lost the bet.
I don’t know who will win and lose this time.
The carriage continued to move forward in the middle of the night, and soon left the city. The road became a little muddy and difficult to move forward. The horses behind kept running forward, holding a torch high to illuminate the road ahead.
This bump made me feel even more uncomfortable.
He protected my head with one hand, and then slowly sat next to me. There was constant noise outside, but in the carriage, he whispered: "Light."
I whispered "Hmm".
He said, "Did you know, have you known this long ago, I will have this day."
“…”
"You've seen through it a long time ago, right?"
I lowered my head and smiled faintly: "How can I have that ability? I see the fate of people?"
"But, weren't everything you expected today?"
“…”
I thought for a while, took a deep breath, and said lightly: "Many people think that human destiny is a very mysterious thing, but in my opinion, human destiny is the simplest thing."
“…”
"Repaying debts and paying money, killing people to pay for their lives, these are the laws of fate."
“…”
"Isn't it a very simple thing to use such a rule to review what you have done and then calculate your future destiny?"
"Then you calculate my destiny, what is it?"
“…”
I didn't say anything, and just grabbed my knees with two hands. The carriage ran too fast and the curtain could no longer block the cold wind coming in from outside. It was okay elsewhere, but my knees were so cold that it was uncomfortable.
But he seemed to be waiting for my answer.
I was quiet for a long time and said slowly: "I don't know."
“…”
"I can't see it."
“…”
"There are so many things I don't understand about your past, such as--"
"What do you mean, for example?"
"..." I was silent for a while, then turned to him and said softly: "For example, who can clearly know his origin?"
“…”
"Just like me, I don't even know. It turns out that my origin is so complicated. If I hadn't experienced so many things and met so many people, I might not have known it."
“…”
"Where are you? Do you know the origin of your family?"
Pei Yuanxiu said slowly: "If you want to ask the origin of the Pei family, you don't need to say it. You already understand it very well. But, if you ask me, the Nangong family--"
"how?"
“…”
This time, he was silent for a long time before saying in a dry voice: "I don't know either."
“…”
"He, in order to avoid suspicion, did not always stay by my side. I don't know many things. I only remember that when I knew my life experience, he kept telling me one thing."
Of course I knew that the "he" he said was the guide to Gong Jinhong, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
Pei Yuanxiu said: "He asked me to sit in the emperor's position no matter what."
“…”
"You must take the position of the emperor."
“…”
"It seems that because of this reason, he gave up me and changed me to the palace."
“…”
"I just didn't expect that so many things happened in the middle, and I needed to use this method to achieve this goal."
“…”
I fell silent.
He was also silent, but unlike my meditation, he seemed to remember many past events, and these events were like the haze in the middle of the night, which had been shrouded in his heart for so many years.
After a long time, he suddenly asked, "What do you want to ask me about the origin of the Nangong family?"
“…”
I was quiet for a while, then shook my head gently: "Nothing."
“…”
"I just suddenly thought about something."
Of course, it is impossible for me to be perfunctory to him like this, not to mention that I am blind now, but he is the one who can see through people's hearts. I believe he can see all the fluctuations in my expression.
However, he did not ask, but chuckled after a while of quietness.
"Actually, what's the point of asking someone where they come from?"
“…”
"Especially, when he was almost gone."
When he said this, he paused. I listened to the sound of horse hooves outside and stomped on this quiet night, and seemed a little scared in the night.
That feeling made my breath sink even more.
I thought about it and said, "You just asked me if you have ever thought about today, what about you?"
“…”
"Have you ever thought about it, will it be today?"
He said calmly: "If I told you that I not only thought about it, but I would have known that there would be today, would you believe it?"
My eyebrows frowned slightly: "Did you have seen that astrological image long ago?"
He said lightly: "No."
"Then why are you-"
"Because Xie Feng."
"Xie Feng?"
"Have he told you that I have ten years of luck?"
Ten years of fortune are like an invisible boulder that has been pressing on my heart all the time. When I heard him mention this again, my breathing sank again.
But he seemed very calm and said calmly: "Actually, in addition to telling me this, he also told me another thing."
"What?"
At this time, the carriage drove through a rugged path, and the bumpy ones almost flipped. He held the back of my head with one hand and crossed his hand to hold my shoulders and protect me.
I felt that I was almost held by him, but this time, he didn't move more, just protected me like this, turned around and looked straight at me, and his eyes were also straight in my eyes.
Even if the light is so dark, I can feel the hot temperature in those eyes.
He said, "Do you remember our wedding date?"
“…”
I frowned slightly and thought again: "March 2nd?"
"Yes, Cold Food Festival."
“…”
