When Wei Hong came in, he saw Tang Zhou looking up at him.
Moreover, Tang Zhou's eyes could follow his movements.
"Sir." Wei Hong put down the washbasin and walked quickly towards Tang Zhou, "Sir, are your eyes okay?"
Tang Zhou didn't reply, but only focused his gaze on Wei Hong, looking up and down.
This observation is enough to show that his eyes have really recovered.
"That's great, that's great, sir. Your injuries are healed and your eyes are healed." Wei Hong seemed to be crying with joy, as if he was even happier than Tang Zhou himself. "I will write a letter to spread the good news." The queen and the general will definitely be very happy when we return to Yuejing City."
From beginning to end, Tang Zhou never said a word.
Seeing Wei Hong running out the door excitedly, he secretly held the candy bag and jelly beans in his hands tighter.
Today is the last day as promised at that time.
His eyes just got better on this day. Could this be the guidance given to him by God, telling him to put aside the past, put aside the darkness and move forward to a bright place?
Get up and go out, standing in the yard.
He looked around the bamboo forest in Western Zhou Dynasty. The more he looked, the more indifferent his eyes became.
In the past few months, we have searched almost everywhere inside and outside Yanzhou City, including several other surrounding towns. However, there is no trace at all. It is clean, as if it had been there before. Everything that happened was just a dream he had alone.
"Son."
Wei Hong came running from behind, talking happily.
"Young Master, I just forgot. There is no urgency to write the letter. I'd better serve you breakfast first. You first..."
"Wei Hong."
Tang Zhou interrupted him coldly, which made his heart pound.
"What are your orders, Master?"
"Tomorrow morning we will dismantle the bamboo house and return to Yuejing."
“……”
Although Wei Hong had wanted to go back for a long time, but when he suddenly heard these words coming from his young master's mouth, he felt a little confused and unreal. It took him a moment to respond, but he couldn't be happy if he should have been. Because he knew that his young master must feel extremely uncomfortable when he said this.
Early the next morning.
After packing his luggage, Wei Hong began to work with the guards and the invited villagers to dismantle the bamboo house.
Within half a day, the bamboo house was demolished and only a pile of waste bamboo remained.
Tang Zhou stood in front and watched coldly.
After a long while, two words popped out: "Burned."
"What?" Wei Hong, who was standing behind him, thought he heard wrongly.
"Burn." He repeated.
Wei Hong was shocked in his heart but understood his son's decision, so he immediately turned around and ordered people to do it. In order to prevent the fire from spreading and causing a mountain fire, all the nearby bamboos must be cut down and moved away, and the waste bamboos must be removed. It took a while to put a cordon around the pile to prevent it from burning out.
Taking all precautions, he finally lit the fire.
Bamboo is flammable, and a raging fire can quickly break out.
The stronger the fever, the colder Tang Zhou's complexion became.
He stood in front of the fire, and his eyes seemed to be dyed red by the fire, as if a fire was burning out of his eyes.
In his hand is the blue candy bag.
After pinching it, there was still a piece of candy inside.
That jelly bean should have been eaten yesterday, but at that time, he held the jelly bean but did not put it into his mouth. It was not that he was reluctant to part with it, but he just felt it was boring.
It's really boring to wait in vain like that.
"Bai Linglan, you betrayed me after all." His voice was so soft that it was easily drowned in the burning fire.
There was no wind today, and the fire first reached the sky.
He raised his head and looked up, looking at the swirling black smoke, he opened his mouth slightly and said: "You'd better hide a little deeper, never come out in your life, never show up, never regret, and I... will never forgive you. you."
Unconsciously, his eyes turned red.
When he lowered his head again, he squeezed the candy bag in his hand and threw it out without hesitation, into the fire.
Immediately, he turned around and left.
He just took a step, but he stopped again.
The tense face was finally moved by the emotion of farewell, and the bright eyes instantly became wet.
"Lily of the Valley..."
Otherwise, I'd better forgive you.
If you don’t forgive me, I will remember you forever.

On the day Tang Zhou set off back to Yuejing City, a fire broke out in the Shen family, the richest man in Yanzhou.
At that time, Shen Zhixi was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, preparing to take off her hairpin and take a shower.
Cui's mother walked in quickly, with a faint excitement on her face that was red from running, "Miss, Tang Zhou has set off back to Yuejing. Keep the news true. Magistrate Yang went out of the city to see him off. I happened to see him when he came back from outside the city. The people said that the guards following the carriage were dressed like the same ones who were arresting people on the street with Tang Zhou that day to listen to their voices."
Shen Zhixi suddenly stopped taking out the earrings and looked up at himself in the mirror.
"It's so good that he is finally gone." Cui's mother kept saying with a grin.
"It almost scared me to death that day. Fortunately, I ran fast. Who would have thought that knowing that Tang Zhou was in the city, I didn't dare to go out even a step. That day, I went to meet the man from the countryside and made an appointment to give me a bed. It was such a lucky person that he met him by chance. Fortunately, everything passed, but for some reason, he suddenly left in such a hurry. He had to set off even after dark, and he didn't want to spend more than one day. …”
"Yeah, that's great."
Shen Zhixi interrupted Cui's mother softly. She didn't want to hear any more.
"It's great. From now on, there will be no more Baigulan in the world, and there will never be Tang Zhou again."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and stroked her belly.
I'm almost three months pregnant, and my belly will soon show my pregnancy.
Tang Zhou was gone, and she could finally let go of her worries. From now on, she could really sit back and relax.
Seeing her touching her belly, Cui's mother remembered that she was cooking porridge in the kitchen to make a late-night snack for Shen Zhixi. She figured that the time was almost up, so she turned around and went out without saying anything more.
Shen Zhixi sighed and looked away from Cui's mother, and continued to remove the hairpin ring.
The earrings that she had just not put into the dressing box hooked into the gauze cushion spread on the table. Without thinking much, she pinched the earrings and pulled them up. Unexpectedly, because the earrings were deeply hooked, the whole gauze was lifted up with one movement. .
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound.
The things on the table fell to the floor. She was startled and subconsciously bent over to pick them up. Several bracelets rolled to the bed. When she picked them up and looked back, she saw that the yarn on the table was burned by the fallen candle. , started a fire, and within a short time, the fire spread and burned the entire yarn mat.
Her first reaction was to put out the fire. When she went to the washstand, she found that there was no water in the basin.
So he immediately picked up the washbasin and ran outside. There was a water tank with flowers in the yard, which was just right for getting water.
Stepping out the door, she shouted Yuanyang's name loudly.
After speaking, he realized that Yuanyang was not in the house at the moment, but had gone out to buy medicine.
She likes to be quiet and doesn't want anyone to come near her when she doesn't need to clean, so she is the only one in the yard right now.
After filling the door with water, she was about to reach the dressing table when she stepped on something, causing her body to flutter forward uncontrollably. The basin fell and she also fell down.
But she couldn't get up.
Because my stomach hurt, I couldn't help curling up in pain.
But when I looked up, I saw that the fire on the table was getting bigger and bigger. There were also scalp oils and ointments on the table, and the wood was also flammable...
She was so anxious that she couldn't help but look at the wooden cabinet next to her.
There was a mahogany box on the wooden cabinet, and locked inside was the lily of the valley flower sent by Tang Zhou.
