Nightfall Chapter 69: Sangsang said
The conversation in the carriage, Mo Shanshan has been humming, listening to Sangsang’s last words, without even thinking about it, he hummed again, and then found something wrong, so he hummed again, and the ending sounded gently Beginning, expressing doubts and consternation, and some complex emotions that are difficult to accurately convey only by the ups and downs of the tone.
If this conversation took place between other women in the world, it would probably be considered to be full of tension, caustic and obscure irony, but Mo Shanshan knows Sangsang well, so she understands that Sangsang has nothing to show off. It means to tell the facts seriously.
She knew from Ning Que that Sangsang was seriously ill and hard to heal. The reason for coming to Lanke Temple was to heal. Although Master Qishan might have a way, even the Master couldn't cure Sangsang's disease. Even if there was hope, it was so slim. Thinking of Sangsang's last two sentences, she was a little sad.
It was almost noon, the black carriage stopped by a monastery on the mountainside, and took a short rest. The monk watching the sea rushed up from behind, arranged for the monks to prepare lunch, and welcomed Ning Que and others into a quiet courtyard. .
Sangsang was exhausted in the chess game, and his body was still weak. After eating a few bites of vegetable dishes, he became a little tired. Ning Que took her into the inner room, spread the clean bedding on the bed, and covered her. He then carefully tucked the corners of his quilt, and confirmed that there was no trace of autumn wind that could sneak in, before he was relieved.
"I told you to ignore the remnant game, but you wouldn't listen."
Ning Que looked at her haggard face and said with some anxiety.
Sangsang whispered: "But I really find it interesting to play chess. After I heard that I won earlier, many people admire me. Are you unhappy?"
Ning Que thought for a while and said, "I am really happy, and very proud."
Sangsang smiled contentedly.
Ning Que stretched out his hand to cover her eyes and let her sleep.
Sangsang refused to close his eyes, blinking his eyelashes, making Ning Que's palms itchy.
"Ning Que."
Sangsang's voice came through his fingers.
Ning Que looked slightly different and said, "I'm here."
Sangsang said: "You are mine."
Ning Que laughed and said, "I am yours. Yours is yours, and yours is yours."
Sangsang said after a moment of silence: "I'm not a good person, am I?"
"The girl of light is not a good person, who is a good person?"
"Am I really the Daughter of Light? I have killed people when I was a child."
"When did you kill someone?"
"I killed Grandpa?"
"You just poured a bucket of boiling water, I cut the knife."
"Then I am your accomplice."
"What are you thinking in your head?"
Ning Que was a little annoyed and said, "Since I was little, I tried my best to keep your hands from getting blood, but now it's fine. Do you have to try to prove that you are already bloodied and proud?"
Sangsang turned his back to him and said, "I'm not proud. I just don't think I'm the kind of good person many people imagine."
The previous way up the mountain. Although the voices of Sangsang and Shanshan and the carriage were very soft, Ning Que heard them all, so he guessed what Sangsang wanted to say at this time. He still didn't want to listen.
However, as before, what he didn't want to do, as long as Sangsang wanted to do it. Then he would definitely do it, just as he didn't want to listen, but Sangsang still said to himself.
"Buying the Yanming Lake House has used up all the money in the house, and still owes Siye Qi more than 700 taels of silver. If the dividends from the gambling shop can be raised after the winter, it can be paid off in advance next year. , But I always feel that it is not good to owe people money, so I wonder if Lao Bi Zhai can be rented out."
"The emperor's father and the queen sent me all the booklets. I put the booklet at the bottom of the winter suitcase in the West Wing. Her Royal Highness gave one hundred and sixty big trees. I've asked. There are a lot of people and I like these trees very much. If they want to sell them, one has to sell for five hundred taels of silver."
"Aunt Wu borrowed 14 taels of silver last time and has not paid it back. I also know that Boss Wu borrowed a sum of money from you last time. You only know how much it is. Besides, the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are not valuable. I don’t care about the things I’m stingy, lest you say I’m stingy again, but you have to remember. In the brick wall behind the firewood in the old Bi Zhai patio, I hid a gold brick there..."
Sangsang looked at the wall. He didn't dare to turn around, said with a little shame: "When I was a child, I was worried that you would not marry me when I was older, and the newly married sister-in-law would not keep me at home, so I have been... Some dowries don’t need to be panic. They have been kept in Chang'an."
Ning Que was stunned when he heard the words, thinking that the two of us have lived carefully enough in this life, and you can still save private money. He couldn't help but admire him, and said with a smile: "I think your majesty should really invite you. Danghu Shangshu."
Sangsang ignored his joking, and said seriously: "The private money I saved now amounts to more than two thousand and one hundred taels. They are all placed with Aunt Jian. I know that you have never liked selling words, so I went to Chang'an. When I was in the city, I forced it. If there is a real shortage of money in the future, I will use my private money."
These words really sounded like the last words of the mistress of the house, Ning Que was kind and funny, but he really didn't care about auspicious things, and asked: "Where is that golden brick?"
Sangsang turned around, looked at him and said seriously: "I left the gold brick for my parents."
Ning Que recalled her explanation and asked: "You have nothing to leave for me except silver?"
"Shoes and socks have been weighing for years, anyway, my female celebrity is not good, you will wear them."
Sangsang suddenly remembered something and whispered: "There is a small black box under the bed of Lao Bi Zhai, don't forget it."
Ning Que only learned last year that Sangsang had a small black box.
The little black box contains some things that I have decided to throw away for some reason, but are actually precious to me, such as the funeral posts he once copied on the rainy night after Xiao Heizi died.
He nodded and said, "I know."
Sangsang shook his head and said: "You don't know, the letter sent to you by the bookworm girl, you threw it away after you read it, and then I put it away. Now there are more than a dozen letters."
Ning Que was silent for a moment and said: "Believe in this kind of thing, just read it once, who will always show it out."
Sangsang smiled suddenly and said: "I originally thought that when we are all old, lying on the bamboo chairs of Lao Bi Zhai and waiting for death, I will take out the little black box. , Let you read those letters again, I think that would make you very happy, but it looks like I may not be able to grow old with you."
"I don't know where I learned these sour words."
Ning Que reached into the bedding, held her cool little hand, and said with a smile: "That's a scene in the fantasy of a demented scholar. You are so young, you shouldn't be so sour."
"I haven't taken a shower for a few days, can't it be sour and smelly?"
Sangsang said: "Master, I may really be dying. I can't wait until I'm old to tell you this, so I'm anxious to tell you at this time, you don't bother me."
Ning Que smiled and asked: "It's not annoying, I just care if your last words are finished?"
Sangsang hummed happily and said, "It's almost over."
Ning Que said: "Seeing that you still have the energy to play chess and talk nonsense. It looks like you are dying. Besides, I can see Master Qishan today. The master said that he can cure him. Then he can cure him. ?"
Sangsang opened his eyes and insisted: "What if? What if I don't have time to say then?"
Ning Que said: "Good, good, just say what you want, you will say it every year in the future."
Sangsang laughed amusedly by him, and then began to cough, his thin body trembling slightly, his brows furrowed, his face pale, and he looked very painful.
Ning Que's left index finger flicked slightly, and a thin piece of talisman paper floated into the air in the Zen room, and began to burn silently, turning into a warm fire ball, floating still, like a small sun.
Then he took Sangsang into his arms and patted her on the back lightly.
Sangsang coughed painfully, and it took a long time to relieve himself.
She closed her eyes and said in a weak voice: "I am not a good person, and I am not good-looking. I can do nothing but do housework, but I marry you. Many people will feel that you have suffered." /
Ning Que said: "It sounds like it does have a disadvantage."
Sangsang smiled and said: "If you lose, you will lose a little bit. Who made you pick me back then."
Ning Que also laughed and said, "It's all because of my ears being too pointed."
Sangsang slowly opened his eyes, looked at him and said seriously: "Ning Que, the first person I saw when I opened my eyes was you, so when I close my eyes, I will watch you die. ."
Ning Que confirmed it again: "Will you look at me and die, or watch me die? The previous statement is quite sad, but the latter statement is too cruel. You just want me to compare You die first?"
Sangsang laughed and said: "You know what I'm talking about. When I die, you will marry her again, or marry anyone else. It's up to you."
Ning Que shook his head and said, "If you die, I really don't want to live."
Sangsang said: "I said I was sour before. Seeing that you are so boring, this is what a woman can say."
Ning Que said: "I am a woman."
Sangsang smiled and said: "Then I will be a man."
……
……
Sangsang fell asleep.
Ning Que walked out of the monastery and stood in the courtyard facing the autumn tree outside the wall, in a daze for a long time.
He thought of a lot of things, what happened back then and what happened now, and then he thought of the residual chess game.
Many years ago, he knew that Sangsang possesses incredible computing power. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s not an exaggeration. He hunted in Minshan and chopped wood in Weicheng since childhood. Sangsang’s ability to He helped a lot, but apart from this life-and-death battle, he seemed to selectively forget all the talents in Sangsang.
Because he is used to standing in front of Sangsang, sheltering her from wind and rain. Only this time, can he cover her from the storm in the dark?

(The title is based on the tune mentioned by Su San. Writing this kind of plot is really hard for myself. Just like the second chapter of yesterday, this exhaustion is very exhausting, but I like to make hard for myself. Self-abuse is also a kind of pleasure. The second chapter comes out before half past ten today. There are four chapters in total today.)
