14 Chapter 14 Land Deed Fire
◎Are you missing him?◎
Yuliu did indeed see that the little snow rabbit liked to stick to Yunhe, so she had an unexpected idea in her mind. However, seeing Yunhe's appearance, it seemed that the little snow rabbit really had no preference or attachment.
After all, she had seen with her own eyes what Yunhe looked like when he was persistent in pursuing what he wanted.
Seeing this, Yuliu completely gave up the idea of letting Yunhe raise snow rabbits and stepped onto the carriage.
The last time he left the house to go to Chunfeng Brushlan, Yuliu only brought Yumei with him, but Yumei was a restless and outspoken person, and she sat in the outer carriage and chatted with the coachman all the way.
This time, Yuliu not only brought her personal maid Fangyue, but also brought Yunhe who was traveling with her.
Although there was one more person, Fangyue sat outside and guarded the driver obediently, while Yunhe sat opposite her, put the snow rabbit on his knees, held it in his hands, and closed his eyes to rest.
They are all calm and trouble-free people.
But Yuliu felt more comfortable and relaxed than the last time she left the house.
However, although Yuliu and his group had changed, the street scenery outside the car seemed to have not changed much.
Outside the window, there are still naughty children chasing and playing, the sound of hawking one after another, and several strong men under the tea stall.
Yuliu did not lift the curtain of the car, not sure if these strong men were the same ones she met last time.
But what they were talking about was still the brothel fire that happened more than ten years ago.
Whenever the word "fire" is mentioned, Yuliu's mind will inexplicably recall the illusion of the hell of fire that appeared without any warning.
The system's explanation was that she triggered fluctuations caused by the world line.
Yuliu witnessed the fire almost in person, but she didn't expect that after a few days, the last thing she remembered was the thin back of the little girl who was abandoned by everyone and sobbing in the flames.
The huge scene was concretized in one place, and Yuliu actually remembered more details that he had not noticed at first.
In a hurry, a long sword with a jade pendant was taken from the girl's feet.
The jade was of extraordinary texture, and became even more translucent when it fell into the fire. Under the scorching light of the fire, the inscriptions on the jade pendant were even more eye-catching.
That is the character "Xiao".
Xiao of Xiao State, Xiao of Xiao Tianmin.
The jade pendant fell from a little boy.
He was the one the girl held on to until the very end.
Yuliu suddenly felt a headache.
She still didn't know who this girl was.
Who is this boy...?
Although Yunhe was resting with his eyes closed, he could still feel Yuliu's vague gaze on him.
Yun He opened his eyes and saw that Yu Liu was indeed looking at him, but... it seemed like she was not just looking at him.
Those beautiful peach blossom eyes were deep and blurred, as if they were looking through him to see something deeper and farther away.
Yun He felt a pang of déjà vu at this familiar state, inevitably recalling the scene when Yuliu had tried to reach out to explore the source of the fire. He frowned and tentatively called out softly, "...Yuliu?"
"...Hmm?" Yuliu's body trembled slightly, as if it was an instinctive reaction after just coming back to her senses. Her pupils gradually condensed, and her gaze shifted slightly from the window to Yunhe who was sitting by the window. "What's wrong?"
Seeing that Yuliu had recovered quickly this time and showed no signs of self-harm or self-abuse, Yunhe chuckled in relief, "Nothing serious. I just saw that she was a little absorbed in her thoughts, and I was a little worried."
After saying that, he added with concern: "Are you worried about what you are going to do today?"
Only then did Yuliu discover it.
Yunhe explained his purpose to her at the beginning, but she had never said a word to him.
"Why do you think so?" Yuliu blinked, her voice a little weak. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the spring breeze blowing, creating a layer of surging waves in the curtains, revealing a corner of the tea stall where there was lively laughter.
Yunhe smiled faintly, did not answer, but raised her hand and touched his eyebrows.
Yuliu followed Yunhe's actions hesitantly and touched her eyebrows, which were not as smooth as she had imagined.
His brows were slightly furrowed, turning into a shallow river.
No wonder Yunhe asked that.
"No, what I'm going to do today is quite simple. It's just collecting rent. What's there to worry about?" Yu Liu shrugged lightly and explained with a gentle smile, "I just listened to those tea drinkers chatting and I was a little confused."
Yun He then noticed that the carriage had driven to a small tea stall. Business was booming in early spring. After the store was full, the waiter diligently set up a few wooden tables outside the store for customers to drink tea, rest and chat. After talking about the hardships of their early years, they began to talk about the future.
Yunhe listened carefully for a while and found that they were talking about the upcoming Flower Festival.
During the Flower Festival, all nations come to pay tribute.
"What did I say last time? I said that good people will be rewarded, right? As long as a person survives a great disaster, he will surely have good fortune in the future! Look, look! Not only has the Fourth Prince's Concubine found her long-lost sister, but even her brother will come to the Huachao Banquet next month to support her!"
"I know the sister you're talking about. I heard she was as beautiful as a fairy. However, she was lost in the capital of our Xiao Kingdom in her early years and only managed to escape and be rescued by the Fourth Prince."
"Yeah, but where did this brother suddenly appear? Wasn't the Su family of Chu wiped out?"
"The Su family has served as prime ministers for three generations, so how could they be so easily wiped out? The eldest son, Su, was born at the border and has never returned home. After this incident, he became an orphan, and he was the only one to receive the Holy Certificate. Originally, only relatives of the emperor were allowed to attend the Flower Court Banquet, but he said he wanted to, and the young emperor of Chu simply added his name to the list."
“…”
After listening for a while, Yun He felt that the eldest son of the Su family was quite capable. He had been guarding the pass and lying dormant for many years when he was young, and then he was able to return from Nirvana after going through hardships. He seemed to be a real character.
But Yun He was thinking more about Yu Liu: "Come to think of it, the Flower Festival is coming soon. I heard that your elder brother from the Su family will be coming. Could it be that you miss him?"
When Yuliu heard this, she knew that Yunhe hadn't noticed the old things those people were talking about. Her eyelids tightened for a moment, then suddenly relaxed: "No, I don't have any feelings for the Su family, and I've never met that brother."
Yuliu had some impression of the "eldest brother of the Su family", but not much. He just seemed to be a marginal figure.
The original work's perspective was entirely focused on the male and female protagonists. Regarding the plot of the Flower Festival Banquet, Yu Liu only remembered for a moment that the female protagonist had an accidental miscarriage and the country was in chaos.
As for the Flower Festival Banquet, no one from the Fourth Prince's Palace attended.
but……
Yuliu tilted her head and thought for a while.
Did her nominal brother from the Su family really attend the Flower Festival Banquet?
Yuliu was only confused for a moment and didn't think deeply about it. After all, this brother had nothing to do with her main task, so there was no need to worry about him.
Compared with these news, Yuliu was more concerned about the fire.
Fixed scenes, fixed dialogues.
It was fine that she was the only one who noticed it last time, but today she was the only one who heard it again.
Was it just a coincidence that she heard it by chance, or was it a hint from the world to her?
The fire in the brothel dissipated the romance and the passage of decades wiped out the former glory.
The vast sea and fields, tall buildings rise from the flat land, and a prosperous spring breeze blows on the ashes and ruins.
The deed to this place, which has been tested by time, was held in Yuliu's hand, slightly warm.
