Duckweed

Chapter 42

Over the years, July Fire has undergone several renovations, and nothing looks the same inside or out. Only Wu Yuntang's room has not changed at all. The dark gold bedposts, scarlet velvet curtains, and outdated luxury are all wrapped in one. In a dim shadow wall lamp.

Wu Yuntang sat alone on the only rocking chair in this room, as if sitting in a nightmare of a person, the humid air in those dark corners trembled like a lake thrown into stones after a long time, turning back time, back to that day, here Everything is still brand new, and the sun is shining brightly.

Unaccustomed to such a large area of ​​sunlight, Wu Yuntang closed her eyes, but those ubiquitous light wave particles penetrated the flesh and blood of the eyelids, and transmitted from the optic nerve to the brain, what Wu Yuntang seemed to see was large expanses of red.He knew it was an illusion, not blood.

Someone approached quietly, and the thick carpet absorbed the sound of footsteps, but the smell couldn't deceive anyone.When the man walked around the chair, the corner of his clothes brushed against Wu Yuntang's hair, and finally stood still in front of him.

Wu Yuntang's mouth hooked up, "You're here." But she didn't open her eyes.

The man said, "You lived another year.

Wu Yuntang said: "There is no way, isn't it that good people don't live long and they will live thousands of years?"

The man said: "Let people like you live on meddling, year after year, and in a few years you can almost die."

Wu Yuntang said: "It's not that I didn't want to live to this age, but I can't just say that I can't live and commit suicide—this may be a matter of fate."

The man smiled softly, "Excuse, you are just living with a thick skin. What's the point of living for a person like you? No one will love you as a monster."

Wu Yuntang wanted to open her eyes to take a look at that person, but at this moment her eyes were so sore that she couldn't open them.

A tear oozes from the corner of his eye, "You're right, you're always right... You shouldn't have missed that shot back then."

The man said, "It's too late to remedy it now."

Wu Yuntang raised her hand slowly and put it on her heart, "Here. This time, don't miss it."

"Oh!"

Wu Yuntang suddenly opened her eyes.In the shadow of a room, he is still the only one sitting alone.

It was Nanke just now.

He put his hand on his chest, under which was an old, sick and weak heart, and a hideous and sinister scar, which was aching at the moment.

The pain lasted for a long time, spreading to all limbs and bones in an unhurried manner, Wu Yuntang coughed violently, every time it felt like being stabbed by countless fine needles at the same time, the discomfort was extreme.But he wasn't worried that the pain would kill him, it would be fine if that happened.But life is always like this, just let him hurt, don't care about relief.

With tears streaming down his face, he collapsed on the couch weakly—the only day in a year that he allowed himself to show his weakness, and in this room, his weakness showed himself the door. After this day, he was still Didu The frightening Lord Wu.

He lay on his side and tried to curl up his body, but he had no strength, "Who will save me?" He thought, "Or who will free me? Sandor, if you turn into a ghost, come and take my life."

Aji came to visit Xiao Sang, and as soon as he entered his office, he looked around Xiao Sang up, down, left, and right for a long time.

Xiao Sang felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy?"

Aji nodded and said, "Yes. I saw one in the corridor just now—Xiao Sang, do you have a son?"

Xiao Sang laughed and said, "I'm not as lucky as you. I can pick up a white-eyed wolf and go back to raise it."

Aji said: "But just now I saw a person in the hallway who looked very similar to you when you were young. So I thought, maybe you were not careful... Now my son came to the door, and you brought him into the industry gone."

Xiao Sang couldn't laugh now, and immediately knew who he saw, and said helplessly, "Brother Aji! I'll call you brother! Don't talk nonsense, it will offend people. You see That one is not my son, although in theory I can have a son, but in fact I really don't have one—it doesn't look like that."

Aji said: "Like it! I'm a living fossil that witnessed your beauty in your youth! If you can't see the comparison, of course you say it doesn't look like it. We outsiders think it's not your son but also your nephew. Your family has good genes. Ha ha ha."

Xiao Sang booed him, not letting him say, "What son and nephew, the more you say it, the more outrageous it is! Don't just add to the trouble, that young master also dislikes me because of this! I would walk around when I saw him .To tell you the truth, he is not an ordinary guest, he is Lord Wu's godson."

Aji cracked a smile on his face and froze, knowing that he had slipped his words, so he didn't dare to laugh anymore.

Suddenly his eyes lit up again, and he said in surprise: "So his father is Sand...Sandor? No wonder you think so..."

Xiao Sang acquiesced, and at the same time warned him that it would be better not to talk too much about this matter. There are not many people who knew about this matter back then, and they are scattered in every corner of society.What's more, what they knew back then may not be all the things, and even the part they knew may not be the truth.After so many years, no one is willing to dare to talk about that dusty past.Time will wash away everything, no matter ugliness, beauty, conspiratorial love, lies or truth.

In order to change the topic to a lighter one, Xiao Sang coughed, "How are you and White-eyed Wolf?"

Aji thought about it dully, and then his mind shifted from the shock just now. When he heard Xiao Sang mentioning his son, he reacted for a while, and finally felt ashamed belatedly, and his old face blushed, "We, it's fine... …Actually, I was a little hesitant at the beginning and thought a lot, but when we are really together, I feel...it’s pretty good.”

Seeing him like this, Xiao Sang was so ashamed for him, and rolled his eyes, "Just pretend I didn't ask."

Xiao Sang suddenly didn't want to talk to this old friend about this matter, but Aji really didn't win, and persuaded him: "Actually, Xiao Sang, I think you can also consider younger people. As long as you have feelings, age doesn't matter. question."

It seems that newlyweds love to persuade each other to get married when they see a single person, and those who have a lover love to promote the goodness of two people when they see no lover.Xiao Sang thinks that Aji is not a good person, and he just came to show off his happiness, right?

"I don't have time to talk about love, I'm too busy all day."

"Let me tell you, being busy with work is an excuse. A happy life cannot be without feelings."

"...But I'm not as lucky as you, Brother Aji. I spent a lot of effort to raise someone to eat you. Except for the ducks under my hands, I come into contact with customers every day, and my social circle is limited."

Aji said: "Well, in fact, if there are customers with good conditions who pursue you, you can consider something."

Xiao Sang stood up and said, "Suddenly it occurred to me that I have something to do." He drove away the old friend who came all the way to think about his love life.

However, the matter really came to pass. Master Wu's personal attendant suddenly called him and said that he heard Master Wu coughing badly in the room, as if he was suffering from an illness. The people waiting outside were worried and wanted to Let him go up and open the door to see what's inside.The door is locked from the inside and cannot be opened without a key.

Xiao Sang immediately went to the top floor to meet up with the bodyguards.

According to Master Wu's rules, of course no one is allowed to disturb him at this time, but his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and this year he has been lingering on the sick bed with no improvement, so leaving him alone in the room is a worrying thing.

Just now the cough came from the other side of the thick door panel, it can be seen that the symptoms have flared up again, I don’t know what’s going on inside, if I leave it alone, it will get worse overnight, and I’m afraid it will be another dangerous and serious illness.

However, they are the people at the bottom after all, and they dare not go in easily. If they bump into Master Wu, they will be in a bad mood every time they catch up with him.

Just when he was hesitating, Xiao Sang thought of a way, "There is a person who is below, and you can actually invite him up to make the decision, but I don't know if it is appropriate." When he said this, his tone hesitated, and the attendants and bodyguards asked Who has such a big face.

"Yes...Master Sang."

Most of these people have relatively low qualifications, and they don’t know much about the powerful connections inside. Besides, even if they do know, it’s better to find someone who can take the lead at this time than anything else. Hearing that Sang Dianyi is looking for pleasure below, they are all very excited, and Xiao Xiao Sang immediately asked Young Master Sang if he needed to break into the room.

Xiao Sang had no choice but to invite someone in person.

He was ready to be robbed and satirized again, so he went into the private room and whispered a few words in Sang Dianyi's ear.

Sang Dianyi's face changed slightly, and without saying anything, he went upstairs immediately, asked Xiao Sauna to give out the key, opened the door himself, and told others not to enter.

Wu Yuntang lay unconscious on the chair, vaguely aware that someone was calling him, touching his face, opened his eyes slightly and smiled, "Sanduo, you are here again, are you in such a hurry to take me away..."

Sang Dianyi felt his forehead was hot, and seeing his appearance, he knew that he was about to get sick, so he said, "If I say I want to take you away, will you come with me?"

Wu Yuntang raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, nodded and closed her eyes.

Sang Dianyi suppressed the beating in his heart, leaned over and picked him up horizontally from the chair, thinking, this old man was so thin that he was worth hugging.

Xiao Sang and the others were waiting outside, not knowing what was going on inside, when suddenly the door was kicked open, and Sang Dianyi strode out with Wu Yuntang, who was drowsy and resigned to his fate, and directed everyone to arrange various matters for the vehicle doctor.
