"Besides, if you don't heal your injuries, will you be able to hold on on the wedding day?"
Speaking of the wedding banquet, Song Lianzhou's eyes were full of expectations.
It was decided that they would get married before leaving Yuejing City and before King Jing ascended the throne.
When King Jing sits on the throne, it will be extra troublesome for him to come to watch the ceremony.
It is also to fulfill Song Yijue's wish. The Song family is from Yuejing City, and their ancestors have been rooted here for generations. When the time comes for weddings, they must visit the Song family's ancestral temple and inform their ancestors about the wedding. Don't scribble the rules. Go Having a wedding in Yanzhou always feels less formal.
However, Song Lianzhou also agreed with her that when she returns to Yanzhou, she will hold another one in her hometown, and it will be grand.
Shen Zhixi didn't reply and leaned into his arms with a smile.
After returning to the yard, Yuanyang was playing with Wan Ying in the yard, and he heard Wan Ying's giggle from far away.
"Mom, daddy."
When Wan Ying saw the person, she hurried over to hug him.
"Ah Ying, be good, daddy will carry your mother into the house first, and then he will hug you right away."
Immediately, Wan Ying followed him into the house like a follower. The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and she was covered in sweat after running for a while.
After Song Lianzhou put Shen Zhixi down firmly, let her sit and poured water for her, he immediately turned around and picked up Wan Ying, folded his sleeves and carefully wiped away the sweat on Wan Ying's face. His love is about to overflow.
Shen Zhixi held the tea cup and looked at this scene, feeling warm in his heart.
Fortunately, it will probably be like this in the future.
Not long after he came back, Wei Hong hurried over and told Xie Jingshi that something had happened over there.
"What's going on?" Song Lianzhou was still very concerned about Xie Jingshi.
Wei Hong looked bitter and gritted his teeth before replying: "Master Xie said he wanted to become a monk."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhixi was particularly surprised.
Song Lianzhou turned around and told her to have a good rest, while he walked out of the yard with heavy steps.
When they arrived at Xie Jingshi's place, Xie Jing'an was standing at the door sobbing uncontrollably.
"Where are the others?" Song Lianzhou asked her.
She shook her head and kept sobbing: "Brother didn't see anyone. Only when Fang Rou came did he open the door and let her in. I see...I see that half of his hair has been shaved off. He is determined to become a monk." Become a monk."
indoor.
As expected, Xie Jingshi stood in front of the mirror with a razor, shaving off the hair on his head bit by bit.
Fang Rou stood behind him, feeling quite excited and her eyes were red.
"It's okay." Xie Jingshi looked at himself in the mirror blankly and said calmly: "It's a good thing you didn't agree to marry me. It's a good thing you didn't really marry me. Otherwise, I was afraid that the tragedy of my parents would happen again. .”
"Xie Jingshi, actually..."
"Actually, you don't need to say words of comfort to me out of sympathy for me. I don't need others to take care of me out of sympathy. My father asked me to do what I think is meaningful. I thought about it for a long time, which is the most meaningful thing to me. The best thing is not to drag others down, not to drag others into pain is the best outcome. My disease will inevitably lead to torture in the future, and I will not be able to have children, but actually... I quite like children, and I have longed for the future in the past. Marrying a wife and having children, but these things are all extravagant hopes for me in the future. Instead of envying others in the mortal world, it is better to accompany the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng to break up love and avoid fearless pain."
The movement of his hand suddenly stopped because a warm palm covered the back of his hand.
Fang Rou shed a lot of tears unconsciously. She burst into tears and told him, "Actually, the truest thought in my heart is that I am willing."
"But I don't want to."
Xie Jingshi withdrew his hand and expressed his despair and sadness in just one sentence.
"If I didn't drink blood to cure diseases like those devils, I would not live to be ten years old, and I would not be able to live a long life with you. And I don't want you to see the miserable state of my illness. It might be better once or twice, but the older I get, the better. Serious illnesses will occur more and more frequently and become more serious. One day you will be annoyed and so will I."
As he finished speaking, he shaved off the last strand of hair on his head.
The razor fell to the ground along with his hair, and tears glistened in his eyes.
He turned around and smiled at her through tears.
"I will pray for you every day in front of the Buddha, praying for your health, longevity, happiness and peace."
Fang Rou shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
Although she just shaved her head, her face was still the same, but why did she always feel that he was no longer him? The Xie Jingshi who was full of sincerity, pure as water and full of youthful spirit would never come back.
"Thank you... thank Jingshi..."
But he no longer responded to her, he just walked past her calmly and walked towards the door.
"Xie Jingshi!"
Xie Jingshi seemed not to have heard anything and opened the door.
The two people standing at the door were all shocked by his appearance.
Xie Jingshi looked at Song Lianzhou with a smile, and said calmly: "I'm sorry, Brother Song, the Xie family is now left with only bad luck, so I will not attend your wedding banquet. However, I will still pray to the gods and Buddhas for you, and wish you a long life and happiness." For the rest of my life.”
Although he was calm on the surface, his eyes were full of determination.
Seeing him like this, Song Lianzhou knew that he could no longer persuade him no matter what.
He stepped out of the threshold, walked down the steps, and was finally hugged from behind by Xie Jing'an.
"Brother." Xie Jing'an's sobs were still thick, but his mood softened a lot, "I'm not begging you to stay, I just want to tell you, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself, and I will live well. Live bravely and hard. Brother, we are brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters connected by flesh and blood, so no matter what you decide, I will support you, and no matter when, no matter what the situation, I will always be your sister. If you look back, you will always have a family."
Her words were deeply touching.
No matter how calm a person is, it's hard not to be touched. Xie Jingshi still couldn't suppress his emotions and turned around to hug her.
"Jing'an, thank you, take care."
After saying this, Xie Jingshi let go of his hand and strode towards the courtyard gate, never looking back once.
After a while, he disappeared at the entrance of the courtyard.
Just like a breeze blowing past your face, every gust of wind you encounter after that, no matter how familiar you are, will never be the same gentle breeze that blew by you in the first place.
*
Half a month later, the day before the wedding banquet.
Qi Yuan finally woke up.
After resting for half a month, Shen Zhixi's health has improved a lot.
Qi Yuan was injured in a large area, mostly from explosion wounds. New skin and flesh did not grow quickly. The weather was hot, and inflammation and pus would develop if he was not careful.
Gauze covered half of his face.
"Stop talking." Shen Zhixi sat in front of the bed and didn't allow him to speak, fearing that it would hurt him badly if he moved his right cheek when he spoke.
"After so many years, I have gotten to know you somewhat, otherwise I wouldn't have been so determined that day to have someone take Chaoyun Ling to pick you up outside the palace. Not to mention anything else, the deputy commander who betrayed you He committed suicide out of fear of crime, and King Hui also committed suicide in prison. Although it may not be so relieved not to die in your hands, these things must be let go after all. In the future, when your face heals After that, you can do other things you want to do, such as go to the battlefield and make achievements."
"Although you have never said it, I know that you are actually longing for him in your heart. As a man, you should be more ambitious."
Shen Zhixi turned to look at him and saw that his left eye was red.
"Yes, you said it's a pity that you, with your strong martial arts skills, only stay in my Shen family as a secret guard. Could it be that you will still quarrel and fight with Song Lianzhou every day in the future?"
