Chapter 1316 Heart Knot (1)!
Chapter 1316
tick!
Blood splashed onto the paper, little by little, drop by drop. When Wang Chong looked down, he realized that because of too much force, the pen had pierced into the palm of his hand, and blood gushed down, but Wang Chong couldn't feel the slightest pain, as if the pen had penetrated not his own palm, but someone else's. generally.
The blood dripped, and looking at the two lines on the rice paper, "worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later", Wang Chong felt a stabbing pain in his heart, not in his palm, but in his heart.
Wang Chong always thought that he had forgotten it, and learned to relax and deal with it calmly, but when he saw those two lines and felt the constant pain in his heart, Wang Chong realized that the pain did not disappear, but was hidden deeper.
Slowly withdrew his palm, wiped off the blood, applied wound medicine, bandaged the wound, changed a brush, and continued writing. It's as if nothing happened.
...
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, there was only half a month left before Wang Chong was imprisoned.
Wang Chong's second brother Wang Bo and younger sister Wang Xiaoyao also came back from the frontier, which made the Wang family more or less happy, and also brought news of the gloom that shrouded the mansion.
"Come, come, eat, eat, eat!"
As night fell, the Wang family's lanterns were hung high, and everyone gathered together in a joyful and festive manner. In the hall, there is a long dining table spread out along the way, covered with all kinds of delicacies and delicacies. Under the bright red lanterns, everyone is smiling.
Only when the Wang family is eating is the most festive and joyful time, when they completely forget everything.
"Come on, come on, ready to start!"
Wang Chong's mother was sitting at the head, smiling all over her face. Further down, on the left is Wang Chong, on the right is the second brother Wang Bo, and at the end of the table is Wang Chong's younger sister Wang Xiaoyao. The others sat down in order.
"I want to eat this!"
"and this!"
"and this!"
...
Wang Xiaoyao sat at the bottom, with two specially made long chopsticks in her hands, stretched out, and kept pinching the table. Put all kinds of the most delicious dishes into their own bowls. Obviously the vegetables in the bowl are piled higher than the rice, and the mouth is also full.
"Okay, I can't do without you!"
Mrs. Wang couldn't laugh or cry. All around, everyone laughed. Compared to other people, Wang Chong's younger sister, Wang Xiaoyao, will always live the most relaxed, happiest, and most free-spirited life. She doesn't have so many worries and is the easiest to satisfy. Her hobbies have never changed since she was a child.
That is to eat.
Seeing everyone filling their bowls, Wang Xiaoyao opened her stomach and ate with big mouthfuls. Even his little head was blocked by the bowl, so he couldn't see clearly.
With Wang Xiaoyao at dinner, you will never be bored. Everyone sits together and enjoys it.
"Oops, what's going on? Why is there no salt in my favorite chicken drumsticks?"
Suddenly, Wang Xiaoyao picked up a piece of chicken leg, pouted her mouth and frowned, looking very unhappy.
"Little sister, don't be naughty, there is salt!"
A voice came, Wang Chong sat on the table, looked at his little sister, and said with a smile. As he spoke, he put a piece of chicken bone into the bowl for collecting leftovers. Little sister's mischievous character really hasn't changed at all. He's already eaten one, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it.
Moreover, the cooks in the mansion are all well-known chefs in the capital, so it is impossible not to add salt. The little girl is totally messing around.
"No salt, no salt, just no salt!"
Wang Xiaoyao yelled angrily, and while talking, threw the chopsticks in her hand on the table in anger.
"Xiao Yao, don't mess around!"
Seeing this scene at the dinner table, Wang Chong's mother immediately put on a straight face. On the side, Wang Chong's second brother Wang Bo frowned displeased. Different from his younger brother Wang Chong and his mother, Wang Bo's eyes are stern and more lethal:
"If you don't eat, just get down!"
"You don't believe me! I'm not messing around, but I have no salt! Don't believe me,
Try it yourself! "
Wang Xiaoyao frowned vigorously, looked at the crowd angrily, and had no intention of giving in at all.
"Really? Miss, let me try."
Seeing that the eldest lady was angry, Su Shixuan, Xu Keyi and the others also stretched out their chopsticks to ease the atmosphere, and each picked up a piece of chicken leg - this chicken leg is usually Wang Xiaoyao's favorite, and everyone deliberately let her , basically does not move, at this time, it is natural to give it a try.
But it was just one mouthful, and Su Shixuan, Xu Keyi and others immediately frowned.
"What's the matter, can't you also taste the salt?"
Wang Chong shook his head and laughed.
The younger sister is messing around, and Su Shixuan and Xu Keyi will sometimes accompany her to mess around with her to please the little Tai Sui in the family. Who told her to be the youngest?
"Well, it seems that there is no salt..."
Su Shixuan and Xu Keyi looked at Wang Chong and said hesitantly.
"Nonsense!"
Wang Chong shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
One, two, three... Seeing that the situation was wrong, more and more people stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the chicken legs. And at this time, a burst of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside, and under the surprised eyes of everyone, the cook in charge of the Wang family's catering in the mansion hurried in with a shovel in his hand:
"Old madam, second young master, third young master, I really apologize. Something went wrong when I was copying the vegetables just now. The bowl of Dongting chicken drumsticks that miss likes to eat most was brought out by the servants without any salt. I will again Go back to the pot! Old madam, I'm really sorry!"
While talking, the old cook took the bowl of chicken drumsticks on the table and hurried down.
"Buzz!"
For a split second, the entire hall was as silent as death. All eyes were on Wang Chong beside the old lady, and the atmosphere froze. Each of them tasted the bowl of chicken drumsticks, and they really didn't have any flavor, and even had a raw taste because they didn't have enough time in the pot.
But Wang Chong seemed to be unable to eat it at all.
At that moment, everyone's expressions were complicated, and their eyes revealed deep worry. It's been a while since the incident, everyone thought Wang Chong was healed and had forgotten about the court affairs. Normally, he and Xiao Yao were talking and laughing, and it seemed that nothing had happened.
But until this moment, everyone suddenly realized that everything was completely different from what they had imagined.
Wang Chong never forgot.
There was deathly silence in the void, looking at everyone's worried eyes, Wang Chong suddenly understood something, and the smile on his face finally slowly faded away. He has been trying his best to hide it, but he didn't expect to show it to everyone in this way.
"Mother, I'm going out for a walk!"
Wang Chong stood up, put down his chopsticks, did not explain anything, then avoided everyone's gaze, and walked out calmly. Wang Xiaoyao yelled loudly from behind, "You don't believe me when I say there is no salt", "None of you believe me". Walking out of the room, a gust of wind blew in front of him, Wang Chong suddenly felt cold.
There are some things that I think have been forgotten, but I can deceive others, but I cannot deceive myself. The mask worn on the face will be removed inadvertently one day, and then the most vulnerable corner will be revealed.
Wang Chong didn't want everyone to worry, and he didn't want everyone to worry.
It's just that there are some things, how can I let go!
He couldn't figure it out and lost his way. In the dark night, I don't know where to go!
"Madam, we found this in the young master's room."
Not long after Wang Chong left, a maid suddenly stepped forward and spread out her palm. Apart from a blood-stained bandage, there was also a vermilion writing brush that was broken into two pieces. Seeing the bandages and brushes, Wang Chong's mother's face suddenly paled a lot.
"Mother, I'm going to find him!"
Wang Chong's second brother Wang Bo suddenly stood up and said.
"No, just leave him alone."
Wang Chong's mother shook her head, her eyes darkened. Wang Chong has been in a coma twice, and no one can solve the depression in his heart. During this time, everyone could only think of ways not to provoke him as much as possible. Do not talk about anything related to the court in the mansion. As the imperial doctor said, the child's heart disease may only be resolved by himself.
...
In the silence of the night, Wang Chong walked alone in the mansion. He deliberately bypassed the place where his mother and the others were, and deliberately walked in the most remote plum blossom grove, promenade, and rockery in the mansion. The kind of pain I felt, not only did not relieve in the slightest, but became more and more depressed.
"clang!"
Suddenly, there was a sound of shifting from outside the courtyard wall. Wang Chong stopped, and he heard footsteps walking towards the Wang family. In the capital city, in the middle of the night, there will be people striking the time in every place. Every time there is a shift, there are usually two people walking together.
"...The Wang family's mansion is in front of us!"
Suddenly, the voices of two watchmen caught Wang Chong's attention.
"Isn't that the alien king?"
"Oh! You are new here, don't talk too much."
One of the watchmen just said a few words, but was immediately interrupted by another person. The two of them chatted all the way, gradually drifting away, and slowly disappeared into the night. Wang Chong stood there in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he was standing in front of a high courtyard wall.
The courtyard wall was high, like a mountain, blocking him and pressing down on his heart. At that moment, Wang Chong suddenly had a strong urge to go out for a walk. Whoosh, with a slight bump under his feet, Wang Chong landed on the courtyard wall lightly like a leaf.
Standing on the high courtyard wall, the darkness is boundless and boundless, only countless lights flicker in it. At that moment, that familiar feeling came to my heart again. Like a lone boat, drifting in the endless sea, getting lost in the dark night, not knowing where to go.
Wang Chong turned his head and took a look, only to see two dozen men in the distance, walking further and further away. With a long sigh in his heart, Wang Chong jumped off the courtyard wall and walked in the opposite direction to the two of them alone.
Behind him, a voice silently watched Wang Chong's back, and quickly sneaked up to follow.
