MTL - Restart the Protagonist’s Way of Survival-Chapter 81 Hold together to make fire
Bai Qingyang squatted on the edge of the shoal, watching the flame go away, his thoughts drifted on the water of Qujiang River, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.
She had something on her mind, so Li Zichou didn't ask, just stood by her side to accompany her.
"He was a very unusual man."
Li Zichou heard this and looked down at her: "Is that you, Aye?"
Bai Qingyang hummed: "My family has never hired a teacher. It was Aye who taught me the classics and general history, poetry and calligraphy. He is very talented."
Li Zichou remembered Bai Xun's deeds before his death, and nodded: "I have heard about it."
The river lantern drifted a little far away, turning into a small dot and blending into the main team. After a little distraction, I couldn't tell where my own was. Bai Qingyang simply gave up searching, and only stared straight at a point in the sky.
"He especially likes to help others. He is a high-spirited, selfless and good official."
"Ok, I know."
"So," Bai Qingyang's throat choked up, "I really don't believe he would do such a thing."
Bai Qingyang buried his head in his knees, but his right hand grabbed Li Zifu's cuff, the pulling force was not strong, and he could easily be thrown away by the latter.
Li Zishou knew that she needed some spiritual comfort, so he let her tug on his sleeve, and replied softly, "I don't believe it either."
Bai Qingyang revealed a pair of wet eyes, staring at the flowing river, half of his face was still hidden in the clothes on his left arm.
There was little light on the river bank, and Li Zichou couldn't see her expression clearly from this angle.
"Xie Shilang from the Ministry of Punishment is Aye's student."
Li Zichou was a little stunned, she didn't expect that she would tell her about it, Li Zichou was silent for a while, then nodded and said:
"Well, I know that too."
Bai Qingyang tilted his head to look at her, as if he wanted to see through Li Zifu's soul.
Li Zichu was a little flustered, Xie Zhi's identity was not made public, she hadn't figured out how to explain to Bai Qingyang how she knew it.
However, Bai Qingyang didn't show much surprise after hearing this, and only said something as expected, as if her answer was within her expectation.
Li Zichou was suspicious, but she didn't dare to ask, and the two of them tacitly revealed it. Bai Qingyang continued to talk about her Aye, and Li Zifu became a loyal listener.
"Aye is very good at teaching, and he has many disciples, even all over the state capitals of Dasheng.
"After his accident, except for Xie Zhi, I haven't seen them.
"Aye often said, take it easy and act rashly, this is the way of life he taught me. If they realize the truth, they should be able to live in peace."
Li Zishou: "Sounds a bit contradictory."
She smiled, and her tone was a bit ethereal: "Yes, I still haven't been able to do it after all this time."
In the previous life, the past was like a boulder, which was always pressed in her heart, unable to be moved, unable to be moved, she could be content with the situation, but she could not act rashly.
"However..." Bai Qingyang's tone suddenly became clear without any sense of emptiness, "I chose to stay here, probably because I did it rashly."
"Huh?" Before Li Zichou understood what she meant, she felt her left sleeve being pulled forcefully, and her whole body staggered backwards. She subconsciously supported the ground with her hands, and managed to sit still.
"You..." Bai Qingyang leaned his head on Li Zichou's shoulder, still pinching the corner of her clothes with his hand, Li Zichou got stuck when he wanted to ask.
"I don't know when, that palace wall became less annoying.
"It is still tall and compact, but not as cold as before.
"I didn't wrong myself, I wanted to stay here, it was my choice to follow my heart.
"So, pay, you shouldn't show that expression, you changed it."
Bai Qingyang leaned against her, the vibrations from her words made Li Zifu feel a little numb.
Where is the numbness, the person involved is not clear.
Li Zichou pursed his lips, and inhaled a large cloud of cool river wind in his nostrils, mixed with the scent of orchids from the people around him. For some reason, Li Zichou lost his mind for a moment.
After a while, she asked in a daze, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Who can stop me if I want to go?"
Li Zichu laughed, Bai Qingyang's arrogant attitude reassured her.
Indeed, Bai Qingyang should be flamboyant and unrestrained.
"I see." Li Zichou replied, "Then what are your future plans?"
"I want to find out the truth about Ayer's death."
"And after that?"
"After that?" Bai Qingyang paused, obviously she hadn't thought about this question, she pondered for a while, "I don't know, let's talk about Aye's case after the world is clear."
Thinking of what the original owner had done before, Li Zichou said, "I will compensate you."
But Bai Qingyang shook his head, his hair rubbed against Li Zifu's shoulder, a little messed up, but she didn't care.
"I do not blame you."
It's not your fault, how can I hold you accountable?
Bai Qingyang deserves the compensation from Li Zifu.
But what Li Zichou thought was that after confirming that she could get rid of the plot killing in the future, she could run away with Yang Dejin without any scruples.
And what she could do for Bai Qingyang was to remove as many obstacles as possible for Bai Qingyang's ascension to the throne, which should belong to her.
The sufferings of the past are unbearable to look back on, and no matter how unforgettable the memory, after time flies, it will be weathered to the point where only a shallow imprint is left, and it will be a good thing or a bad thing.
The water of the Qujiang River flows day and night, what has passed is irreversible, and what is yet to come is difficult to grasp. No one can step into the same river twice, and one should cherish the present.
"Pay."
"Ok?"
"Can you tell me about your Aye Niang?"
Li Zichou was silent, this question is really difficult to answer, she can't talk about Emperor Jing and Empress Changsun, can she?
Those were Li Fu's parents, not hers.
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it." Bai Qingyang added in a low voice, sounding very understanding.
Li Zichou: "..." When you talk like this, it makes people feel that rejection is a sin!
The person being leaned on seemed to sigh lightly, Bai Qingyang moved his head slightly to look at the expressions of the people around him, Li Zifu immediately turned his head, staring at the river lanterns all over the river, but did not look at Bai Qingyang.
Bai Qingyang thought that she really didn't want to talk about it, so he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
That's right, her current identity is not Li Chou, how could she tell about the former emperor and the first empress?
Bai Qingyang was only thinking about whether he could take this opportunity to learn more about Li Zichou.
Just trying to find some other topic to prevent the atmosphere from getting too cold, I heard Li Zichou say:
"My parents were very nice to me."
Bai Qingyang was taken aback.
"I think they are all very ordinary people. Although they are a little indulgent towards me, they are all expressions of love for me." Li Zishou said half-truth, with an imperceptible trace of longing in his eyes.
"Ordinary" is true. Li Zichou's family is an ordinary middle-class family, the kind who are thrown in the crowd and caught a lot.
"Indulgence" is fake. In terms of personality cultivation, Li Zishou's parents are actually quite strict with her.
"Love me" is also true. Her parents love her, she knows it, and because she knows it, she can't help but miss it.
After traveling through the book for so long, I don't know what the world over there is like.
Will it be sad if mom and dad can't find me?
If she couldn't go back, she would rather completely erase her existence from that world. No one would be sad if no one remembered her.
Because if they were sad, Li Zishou would be sad too.
Li Zifu was a little lost in thought, so dazed that he didn't even know that Bai Qingyang was watching her.
Bai Qing raised her compassion, and she understood Li Zishou's eyes.
So it turns out that the look that you showed in Nanshan Academy at that time was missing your parents.
"I haven't seen them for a long time." Li Zichou said, "I hope they can live well in another world."
Bai Qingyang answered seamlessly, but Bai Qingyang still caught the clue.
"Well, it will."
Li Zifu's hand was held by her, and the warm knuckles squeezed into the palm, which made people tighten their grip. Naturally, the two met their gazes.
At this moment, the two are companions who can make fire together.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, or rather strange, Li Zichou changed the subject casually: "Do you know why I am called Li Zichou?"
Bai Qingyang: Huh?
Li...Zi pay?
Li Zichou didn't notice it. I don't know if it was because her heart was blown away by the river wind on the bank, or because the temperature in her hands made her feel a little distracted; maybe it was because the name was similar to the original owner, or maybe it was because she just talked fast, in short, she didn't care at all. Realized what I had missed.
Bai Qingyang moved his head to his knees calmly, looked at her for a moment, pretending to be listening carefully.
"why?"
"Because of 'Heaven rewards diligence', my parents gave me such a name." Li Zichou mentioned her name quite enthusiastically, "God will reward those who work hard."
Bai Qingyang: "You are more like that Heavenly Dao."
Li Zichou chuckled and denied, "What kind of heaven am I..."
Ordinary people in ancient times like to call the emperor the way of heaven, but in her opinion, being an emperor does not mean being chosen by the destiny. Even if thousands of people bow their heads and profess their vassals, the ruler is just an uncommon one among many mortals. .
When a person is kind to the world, the world will return him with equal kindness.
Li Zishou's parents believed in this, so they paid great attention to the shaping of character and morality. They hoped that their children would never be mean or cruel.
They don't care much about other things, as long as their children can be happy and smooth, then they can feel at ease.
"But you're right, my parents really want me to be a 'superior', a high-level executive, a high-ranking official." Li Zichou's tone sounded a little brisk, and she felt very comfortable when she confided, " It's kind of childish, but…"
The second half of Li Zishou's sentence was hidden in his heart, Bai Qing Yang Fuzhi did not ask, but said: "They are all very interesting people."
Li Zichou nodded, with a serious expression on his face: "You think so too, don't you?"
"you did it."
Li Zichou was taken aback when he heard the words, only then did he realize that she was saying that he had become an empress, then he raised his hand and waved it: "I'm still far behind." How could it compare to the one next to him.
"I can't be a master, but I can be a good person." Li Zishou said seriously.
Bai Qingyang raised the corner of his mouth, and the waves in his eyes seemed gentle: "You are indeed a good person."
Li Zichou: "..." That's weird.
There is an illusion of being issued a card.
The author has something to say:
Li Zichou, who is going to run away in the future, belike: Goodbye!
The future Xie Zhi belike: Offended the abbot and still want to leave? !
Stacked: I didn't say that being a senior executive and a high official means being a master ()
