Ah Chang

Chapter 17 Birds and Sheep

"I took her to see Keli, her memory seems to have not recovered, but..."

Fu Que lowered her eyes and caressed the hair of the person on her lap. She mentioned A Chang's dream and the tree with yellow and white flowers in the dream.

The eyebrows of the person on the knee moved slightly, she knew that the tree, in that sinful and dirty courtyard, was once A Chang's only spiritual sustenance.

"She looks very lonely." Fu Que looked out of the window, and it was another night of snow: "So I made a connection with Taohua privately for her. Taohua is lively, and I think it should make that girl happy."

"yes?"

The respondent couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger, so Fu Que brushed the hair around her ears, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "My lord, do you think I did something wrong?"

"That's right."

Qi Yun propped himself up and walked to the window, looking at the snow falling in the night.

"Are you lonely?"

--------

A Chang closed his eyes and thought of Qi Yun's smile, pillowing on the beauty's lap, smiling lazily and carelessly.

Qi Yun doesn't seem to care about being bumped into the intimacy with Fu Que, but A Chang can't forget it for a long time.

The feeling was indescribable, as if she had touched some kind of taboo, and had an inexplicable sense of guilt, which came from A Chang herself, and she felt that it was not what she should see.

"Do you want to find a suitable time to apologize..."

A Chang thought so, but when she thought of Qi Yun's smile, she somehow felt that maybe her apology was not important.

Taohua said that there is no need to stay outside when Fuqu is around, so let's have a good rest tonight.

As soon as Ah Chang closed her eyes, there was a knocking sound outside the window. She opened the window to look, but it was a wounded sparrow with its claws desperately hooking on the window eaves.

"what!"

Ah Chang just wanted to reach out to catch it, but the paw of the bird lost its strength and fell down. Just as it was about to hit the ground, a cyan figure appeared below, which was You Feng passing by.

You Feng looked at Que'er who suddenly fell from the sky in his hand, and raised his head to meet A Chang's panicked eyes. A Chang's eyes were a little bright, and it didn't look like there was snow drifting by.

"Miss Youfeng..." Ah Shang ran down panting, suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly corrected her words: "Master Youfeng...I'm sorry, thank you..."

It is consistent to apologize first, then thank you.

Seeing A Shang staring at the bird in her hand with concern, You Feng handed it over, and A Shang caught a glimpse of the sackcloth wrapped around You Feng's hand, and couldn't help asking: "Master You Feng is injured?"

"..." You Feng looked at her and didn't want to answer, but when he turned around, he still replied: "No problem."

The conversation should have ended here, but Ah Shang mustered up the courage to stop You Feng. She felt that if she didn't ask at this moment, she might not find another chance next time.

"Master Youfeng... When I was still in that village, someone told me...as long as they can make me happy by being with me, they will get money..." A Shang pursed her lips, looking a little Hesitating: "I don't know... I don't know, Master Youfeng, do you know what this means..."

The person being asked didn't answer for a long time, and A-Shang didn't have the courage to look her in the eyes. She thought maybe her question was too presumptuous, and she was about to apologize when she heard You Feng ask her, "Do you want to go back?"

"Go back..."

Ah Chang blinked her eyelashes, and took a short time to recall the more than a year in the village. It was as ordinary as the small river at the entrance of the village, reflecting the rising sun and moon setting, without waves all day long.Such a day is actually pretty good, if it wasn't for what happened that night, A-Shang thought it would be a place for her to spend the rest of her life there.

But thinking of the pair of indifferent and indifferent eyes that night, Ah Chang's heart seemed to be blown into the wind.

"I miss that lamb." A-Shang didn't answer, but said nonchalantly, "The one that Lord Youfeng helped me save... I don't know if they treat it well."

-----------

Taohua brought a group of sisters from the pavilion to knock on the door early in the morning, saying that she showed off the clothes that A-Shang made for her in front of them. They liked it very much, and now they all want to ask A-Shang to embroider them for them.

A Chang was obviously a little flattered, being surrounded by so many people with adoring eyes was something she never dreamed of.

"Hey! Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze my sister A-Shang! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Seeing that the thin A-Shang was surrounded and almost disappeared, Taohua yelled and pushed away the crowd. A-Shang blushed and looked at her. elder sister".

The crowd was silent for a moment, and the girls immediately rushed to put their clothes on A-Shang like sparrows. A-Shang was holding a bag full of clothes and was not sure what to do, when there was a clear and beautiful voice amidst the noise. With a somewhat lazy voice:

"Can you embroider one for me?"

The girls looked back one after another, and then backed away in fright: "Pavilion! Pavilion Master!"

Qi Yun seldom appeared in the pavilion during the day, and the girls were obviously a little surprised, even Tao Hua didn't expect it, and she was stunned for a while before retreating to the side.

Qi Yun smiled at the girls, with a bit of tiredness in his eyes, he must have just woken up.Although Taohua is young, she is also considered clever. Seeing that Qiyun's eyes have been lingering on A Chang, she beckons everyone to leave first.

In the originally lively house, only Ah Chang and Qi Yun were left in the room. The winter morning wind came through the gap, and Ah Shang suddenly felt a little cold.

"Are you going to keep holding it?"

"What......"

"Those clothes." Qi Yun went to the window and closed it tightly. Looking back, he pointed at the clothes in A-Shang's arms, and then A-Shang came to his senses, and carefully put the clothes aside.

"..."

Then there was another silence, and Ah Shang secretly peeped at Qi Yun from behind himself. The man was wearing a white long gown, and the black hair was half loose and tied at the end, and he still had the pleasant smell of clear bamboo on his body, even if he was so casual at this moment. A Chang is also attracted by the lazy posture, and it is difficult to look away.

A sparrow chirping broke the silence, and Qi Yun saw a small sparrow in a cage beside it, one of its legs was carefully wrapped with a cloth.

"That's..." A Chang just wanted to explain, but Qi Yun looked away: "I heard from Fu Que that you really want to restore your memory."

Qi Yun asked about A Shang's memory loss, which made A Shang a little unexpected. She thought that Qi Yun, who is the owner of the pavilion, would not have the leisure to care about her small private affairs, even if this matter was related to her. It's no small matter.

"Yes……"

A Chang nodded timidly, a little disappointed, Qi Yun asked her again if memory was really that important.

Doesn't memory matter...

Ah Shang was a little confused, and didn't dare to answer rashly. Seeing Qi Yun turned around and wrinkled her nose nervously, that exquisite mole shrank weakly and helplessly just like the person she is at the moment.

Qi Yun didn't rush her, just watched quietly, waiting for her to answer.

Qi Yun's eyes are beautiful, narrow and slightly raised, and there is a stream of light between them, no matter if they are sleepy or looking back, no matter what kind of expression they are, those eyes can always hold each other tightly.

"I'm just..." Being looked at by those eyes, A-Shang tried to speak, expressing the feeling in his heart: "Without the memory of the past, I just feel...feel..."

what do you think...

"Because they have no root, no place to return to, no origin, no end."

"No Root...Nowhere to Return..."

"It means wandering."

"drift......"

Suddenly some words popped into Ah Chang's mind, scattered without beginning and end, she repeated these words in a murmur, but she couldn't remember when and who said them to her.

But these words hit her heart.

Although she is living well now, she has no memory of the past, and she is like that rootless duckweed.

"Adrift?" Qi Yun could hear clearly, and smiled indifferently as usual: "I often think of some people and things, not all of them are good."

"Even if it's bad..." A Chang understood what Qi Yun meant, she pursed her lips nervously but firmly: "Even if it's a bad memory, I'm willing to bear it. The past belongs to me. When I was in the village, I often wondered whether I should really belong there. Looking at their peaceful and peaceful life, I always felt that I was a bit out of place. There was no reason for that feeling... It still depends on how I I can't get an answer even if I think about it. So... so only by remembering my past, can I really know... who I was, what I should be now, only this... only this maybe my Only when my heart can settle down, not like now..."

The light in Qi Yun's eyes stagnated for a moment, and it happened to be seen by A Chang. She thought she had said something wrong, so she hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Pavilion Master... I said something inexplicable, I didn't mean that there is no place here. Well, I live very well here, the pavilion master treats me very well, I..."

"Can I treat you well?"

Before A-Shang could answer, Tao Hua, who thought that Qi Yun had left, came back at this moment: "Sister A-Shang!" Tao Hua's smile was only half-smiled, and she turned back immediately after seeing Qi Yun: "Ge... "Lord of the pavilion!"

Faced with Taohua's sudden intrusion, Qi Yun didn't mind, instead, he left Taohua and A Chang behind.

After confirming that Qiyun had left, Taohua excitedly took A-Shang's arm: "Sister A-Shang, Sister Fuqu gave us a lot of beautiful silk threads, you will definitely like them! Let's go! Come and see with me! "

"..."

A Chang was dragged away by Tao Hua in a daze, but the last smile left by Qi Yun was still in her mind.

She asked her, did she treat her well, but she didn't know how to answer, but her heart throbbed inexplicably for a moment.

--------

After a few days, there was a lamb in Ah Chang's room, soft and white, licking Ah Chang's fingertips.

Ah Chang recognized that this was the lamb in the village.
