Chapter 186 The setting sun
The setting sun brings the warmth of old age to the world.
In the small front yard, Yuan'er and Li Suyue were talking and laughing while sitting under the old locust tree embroidering.
Judging from the shape of the fabric, it should be clothes for children.
After ten months of pregnancy, Li Suyue is still six or seven months away from giving birth. It is undoubtedly a bit early to start preparing clothes now, but it also indirectly reflects her beautiful expectations for the future.
Half a year ago, she was still a widow with a mute son. Although her late husband left her a house and some property, she still had to rely on doing odd jobs like washing clothes in a cloth shop to make a living.
At that time, Li Suyue could never have imagined that she and her son would be able to live such a happy life.
I have no worries about food and drink, and I have a reliable man.
He turned his head to look at the little boy who was sitting at the gate and looking at the alley, his gentle eyes were full of happiness.
Li Suyue is just an ordinary woman.
She does not have Xu Qingwan's "ambition" to make a lot of money, nor does she have Yang Liushi's pretentiousness of wanting to experience the love, hatred and emotions of the world, nor does she have Liang Qin's noble spirit of "learning martial arts for those who have never learned martial arts", nor does she have Ning Yuke's deep-rooted hatred of exterminating her family.
She didn't even have the temper of a little woman like Lu Jingyao, who got angry because her man went to a brothel.
She is indeed a typical woman of feudal society.
Regardless of whether this kind of personality is good or bad, it makes Li Suyue's threshold for "happiness" very low.
But today's life has far exceeded this critical value.
She was really satisfied.
“.”
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing with it the faint sound of footsteps.
The little boy sitting at the door suddenly stood up and ran into the alley. When he appeared again, he was riding on Zhang San's shoulders, holding a sugar man shaped like a sword in his hand.
"I'm back."
Li Suyue put down the thread cloth in her hand and walked over with a smile: "Why did you buy candy figures for Ran'er again? If he eats too much, his teeth will get damaged."
"Yes, I will definitely buy less next time."
Zhang San touched the back of his head in a very honest manner, and his eyes unconsciously looked towards Li Suyue's abdomen.
"You"
Li Suyue noticed his gaze and said helplessly, "We'll have to wait another month or two to see the result."
"Yes, yes, I'm not in a hurry."
"There's no point in being anxious."
“Yes, yes.”
Zhang San nodded repeatedly, as if the person standing opposite him was not his wife but some important person.
Li Suyue had long been accustomed to this. Although she didn't say it, she was happy in her heart.
"Okay, put Ran'er down, and go and take a rest."
"The master went out at noon and hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer for dinner."
"Will the master ask you to go out for work tomorrow? If not, please accompany me to the cloth shop. I want to buy some cloth to make a few more clothes for you."
"Although Shuzhou is not colder than the capital, it is very damp, so you should wear more clothes."
“.”
The murmuring whispers were extremely ordinary, but they were a kind of warmth that Zhang San, who had been on the run for the first half of his life, had never felt before.
He continued to respond with "yes, yes, yes", and he didn't know how many times he had made up his mind to be good to the mother and son in front of him in his life.
The sunset on the horizon blended into this softness, and a wooden window facing the courtyard was gently closed at this time.
The dark underground chamber was cold and damp, and even the fire burning on the wall seemed unable to dispel the chill.
Looking at the distraught man opposite him, Wei Changtian didn't know whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
He finally fulfilled Wang Qian's last wish and took him to see his wife and children for the last time.
But this result. "Boss Wang, you have seen it too, they are indeed living well."
"By now you probably have guessed why I want to kill you."
"I will untie your acupuncture points now. I hope you won't make any fearless struggles."
“.”
After saying this, Wei Changtian was not afraid that Wang Qian would make a desperate attempt, so he reached out and unblocked all the acupoints for him.
Qi and blood flow again, and sensation returns to the limbs.
However, Wang Qian still maintained the same posture, and only slowly raised his head after a long while.
"Thank you for your help, Master."
Wei Changtian was stunned, then shook his head.
"I am unworthy of this thank you."
“.”
Wang Qian pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing an extremely complicated smile.
It seems like accepting fate, but also like being relieved.
"Sir, I am already very grateful for letting me take a look at this."
"You don't need to say anything else, sir. I know what to do and I won't dirty your hands."
“Just before that.”
The big hand covered with wounds and scars reached into his arms tremblingly, as if groping for something.
Wei Changtian's pupils shrank, and in the blink of an eye his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the knife.
Then the next moment, he saw Wang Qian take out two small objects from his arms as if he was holding some priceless treasures.
A hairpin of fairly exquisite workmanship and a small silver lock.
"Sir, I bought this hairpin and silver lock in Peizhou three years ago when I was escorting."
"I originally wanted to give it to Su Yue and Ran Er, but on the way back I ran into the Pili Clan."
"I have been keeping these two items on me for the past three years, thinking that one day when I come down from the mountain alive, I must get them in my own hands."
“That’s all.”
Gently placing the hairpin and silver lock on the table, Wang Qian stood up and bowed deeply to Wei Changtian.
"Sir, if possible, please give these two items to the mother and son."
"If not, just throw it away."
“.”
Wei Changtian did not answer, but just looked at Wang Qian calmly.
The latter took a deep breath, then raised his palm and slapped his chest with all his strength.
Half an hour later.
"Master, have you had your meal yet?"
Standing outside the open door, Li Suyue looked at Wei Changtian who had "just" returned and asked softly.
"have eaten."
Wei Changtian smiled and nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he suddenly called out to Li Suyue who was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, I have two things for you."
"I happened to see it while doing some work this afternoon, so I bought it."
"Zhang San is a dull person, and he doesn't know how to buy jewelry for you and your son. I will just treat it as a gift to you on his behalf."
“.”
After saying this, he put the hairpin and silver lock down.
Wei Changtian walked into the bedroom without looking back, leaving Li Suyue standing there in a daze.
She knew that Wei Changtian was not giving her a chance to refuse, but how could she accept it? But if she didn't accept it, would the master be angry? She felt a little conflicted, walked to the table, and gently took the hairpin and silver lock in her palm.
Huh? This hairpin is actually my favorite style.
What a coincidence.
To the north of the city, the official road.
There was only a last ray of light left in the sky, stretching the shadows of the horse and the man very long.
The horse is dark red in color with a hint of snow-white on its head. It is obviously a fine horse that is a specialty of Liangzhou. Its market price is at least several dozen taels.
But the strange thing is that even though there is such a good horse, the man next to him does not ride it. He just leads the horse and walks slowly on the official road. Every step seems to weigh thousands of pounds.
But he never stopped.
And never looked back.
The last slap Wang Qian threw at himself actually saved his life.
The setting sun brings the warmth of old age to the world.
As the sun sets, it cannot express all the love, hate and emotions in the world.
