Ah Chang

Chapter 19 Spring Equinox

The first thing Ah Chang recalled was a woman.

The woman is thin, widowed and thin, with a haggard face.Holding the child in her arms, she kept scolding A-Shang, but A-Shang couldn't hear the rest, only heard her keep saying: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

A Chang didn't know why, but couldn't help crying. She lay down next to the woman's feet to appease and apologize, as humble as a speck of dust.The woman still cursed angrily, then kicked A-Shang away.

Next to it was a pot of burning charcoal fire. The charcoal made a "crackling" sound in the raging fire. A Chang knocked over the charcoal pot, and the scorching hot air passed by her body. She saved her life, but left a scar on her wrist. A burn, piercing pain.

"hiss!"

A Chang woke up from the pain, the real pain caused fine sweat to ooze from her forehead, she lifted her sleeves, and there was indeed a shallow scar on the slender wrist.

---------

"That's not a dream, it's a memory." Keli wiped the mud from his hands, and carefully looked at the scar on A Chang's wrist: "This injury has been going on for some years, it should be caused by you when you were young."

"memory......"

"That's right, my medicine has taken effect, so there may be many more dreams with memories in the future."

"..."

This should have been good news, indicating that the lost memory is slowly recovering. This was what Ah Chang wished, but she was not as happy as she imagined at the moment, because the dream was too real, and the woman's anger in it was real. Yes, her tears were real, and so was the pain.

"I often think of some people and things, and they are not all good."

Ah Chang thought of what Qi Yun said, she didn't understand what Qi Yun hinted at, she only thought that it seemed true to her now.

"Sister A-Shang! Why are you here!" Taohua rubbed her sleepy eyes, and when she saw A-Shang coming, she immediately rubbed over to make out. Only then did A-Shang put an end to some heavy thoughts, and put on a soft smile: "Last time I asked you I embroidered some of the clothes I embroidered first, because I was afraid that the girls would be waiting impatiently, so I thought about bringing the embroidered clothes to Sister Taohua and sharing them first.”

"So fast?!" Taohua marveled at A-Shang's speed, while praising the work in her hand again and again: "Sister A-Shang, you are too good! You can embroider so much in such a short time! All of them are so beautiful!! So amazing! Sister A-Shang, can you embroider some more for me after you finish embroidering them! I still have a lot...!"

"The last sentence is the key point, right?" Keli stuffed all the clothes into Peach Blossom's hands: "Little ghost, why don't you send them to your sisters soon? Don't miss the heart that your sister, A Chang, made out of it."

"Yeah! I'm going right now!"

Keli's words really managed to divert Taohua's attention away, and she seemed to be getting better at dealing with this simple-minded "little ghost".

"Beauty, it's best not to be so tired in the future. It's not good for memory recovery. Time passes here very slowly and the days are long. It's better to pay more attention to your body and take a reasonable rest." Ke Li watched peach blossoms with a standard smirk After leaving, he raised his hand to caress A Chang's eyes: "Look at the bloodshot, tsk tsk, I feel pity."

"Ke Li's envoy..." Ke Li saw through the embroidering work all night, and A Chang lowered her eyelashes in embarrassment. When she mentioned the matter of her body, instead of caring about herself, A Chang thought of Qi Yun Qi Yun said it was medicine. Does it mean that there is something wrong with Qi Yun's body...

"But Li Zhangshi, there is something I don't know whether I should ask, you don't need to answer, I just have some..."

"Beauty, just ask, I will tell you everything I can answer." Ke Li responded readily, and Ah Shang then asked the question in his heart.

"Xiao Yunyun actually told you that it was medicine?"

Ke Li was obviously a little surprised after hearing this, not because Qi Yun was lying, but because Qi Yun had told her not to make public about her long-term medication.

"Yes... Excuse me... is there any problem?" Seeing Keli's surprised face, Ah Chang asked timidly, but Keli quickly waved his hand and said, "No problem, it is indeed medicine, Xiao Yunyun For some reason, I have to take medicine every day, maybe I don’t want to cause unnecessary worries, you know, those girls in the pavilion are just like that peach blossom kid, they are all very concerned about Xiao Yunyun’s affairs, so Before this matter, I was the only one who knew about it, Beauty Fuqu and You Feng." Keli blinked, and said in a funny way, "But now, there are more beauties like you."

"..."

A Chang pursed her lips when she heard the words, she never thought that Qi Yun would tell her such an important secret, compared to other people who knew this secret, she was obviously the most insignificant one.

"I don't think Xiaoyunyun should have told the beauty that you should keep this matter a secret, but considering the safety of Xiaoyunyun and Jianshui Pavilion, I hope that the beauty will not tell others about this matter." Ke Li said this with Seriously, which is rarely seen on weekdays, A-Shang hurriedly nodded in response.But hearing what Keli said, she couldn't help becoming more worried. That person who looked almost impeccable on the outside actually had such a fragile secret. Only then did A Chang feel that the feeling she always felt from Qiyun The feeling of fatigue was not her illusion.

"Beauty is curious, isn't it?"

A Chang is not a person who is good at hiding her thoughts. Her worry about Qi Yun is written on her face, which Keli can see clearly. At the moment, Taohua is not there, so Keli said that she will tell the other side of the pavilion master, A Chang. some things.

"Jian Shui Pavilion holds the secrets of the world, and trades them with money, no matter good or evil, the one with the highest price gets it. In other words, if someone has money, they can buy your secrets from here, and if you have money, you can destroy your secrets from here. .”

"The more secrets you know, the more people you hate. After all, no one wants their secrets to be traded as bargaining chips in the hands of others. The owner of Jianshui Pavilion is the one who is targeted by everyone."

"The life of the master of Jianshui Pavilion is like a fly, and there is nothing to send in a floating life."

"Life is like a fly..."

Ah Shang thought of Qi Yun's eyes again, and seemed to understand the alienation and indifference in her eyes.

Before Ah Chang left, Keli told her that if she wanted to get rid of the scars on her wrists, she could come to her at any time. She was very good at this, after all, Fu Que's beautiful face was made by her hands.

---------

That night, Taohua sneaked into A-Shang's room and said that she had found something that looked like fireworks from Keli. She had made an appointment with all the sisters in the pavilion, and now she went to the courtyard to set off secretly.

"Your Majesty..."

A Shang seemed a little hesitant, she was afraid that Qi Yun would call her for something, even though Qi Yun almost never asked her to do anything.

"Oh! Sister A Chang, don't worry, there is no need for others if Sister Fu is in the pavilion. Let's go! I'm afraid that lunatic will find out later!"

"..."

A Chang was dragged away by Taohua, and a sentence that was unintentional was heard in her heart. Qiyun really rarely asked her to do anything. She was free and idle almost every day. Qiyun seemed to prefer Fuqu when she was there. Beside, she wondered, does that mean she's not doing well enough...

--------

Taohua's sisters had already been waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw the two finally arrived, they hurriedly urged to set off the fire, perhaps the days in Jianshui Pavilion were too dull, and everyone wanted to see some new tricks.

Taohua took out the "firework" from her bosom, and placed it far away under the magnolia tree. As soon as she got it, she ran back excitedly, and fell headfirst into A Chang's arms.

Under everyone's anticipating gaze, the "firework" rose into the silent night sky, burst into flames, and then emitted a bright light, which was dazzling.

The originally dark night sky was instantly illuminated like daylight.

"This light... isn't it too bright?"

Taohua blurred her eyes, and began to be unable to look directly at the light above. Keli, who was originally in the pavilion, was also attracted by the strong light. She looked down at the people in the courtyard and knew something was wrong.

"what is that?"

The sharp-eyed sisters saw a ball of fire falling rapidly in the dazzling light, heading straight in the direction of A-Shang. A-Shang couldn't avoid it and had to protect the peach blossoms in her arms. The hot feeling in the dream It came again, just sticking to her cheek and then disappeared suddenly, A Chang opened his tearful eyes, just in time to meet Shang Qiyun's slightly drooping eyes.

Qi Yun didn't know when he came to her side, held the flame with his hand, and it turned into sparks all over the sky.

"Brat! How can you rummage around in my place! Do you know what that is?!"

"Oops! The lunatic is coming!"

Ke Li chased after him from inside the pavilion, Tao Hua ran away in a guilty conscience, everyone in the courtyard dispersed, and only Qi Yun and A Shang were left for a while.

Qi Yun asked her if she was injured, but A-Shang couldn't even answer her words. She met those beautiful eyes and missed them. Looking over her cold shoulders, she saw the first flower of the magnolia plant in the yard. .

Only then did A Chang realize that the cold winter had passed away and it was the vernal equinox.
