Chapter 187

"How do you know my feet can't get cold?" Jingzhi murmurs, only feels that his tenderness to her at the moment is as sharp as a thorn in the back. He makes her more and more unable to see and guess, just like a new person!

His finger belly slowly flicked over her ankle, and he saw that he had a slightly sinister smile: "what you don't know, more than that?"

Jing knows that there are ghosts in her heart. Some of them turn to her head with a low cough. She suddenly sees a rainbow in the far sky, and the rain has stopped. But after the sun is wrapped in the wet clouds, she seems to want to break through the clouds, and set a beautiful golden border on the thick clouds.

"Let's go." When he smiled, he put his hand under her arms and held her in his arms. Jingzhi worried about his stomach, and hurriedly hooked his neck. A faint smile came out slowly on his lips, but he didn't say much. He just hugged her more tightly and walked on the small bridge.

At the top of the arch bridge, the view of the town has been fully seen. From a distance, he saw small and medium-sized boats in the river running like fish, flying fast, and the smell of fresh and pleasant soil after rain brought by the wind. His breath gradually became a little heavy, but he never put her down, and she seemed to forget to open her mouth.

He took her all the way down the stone bridge, and the water soon subsided. They stood under the shed set up by a grocery store on the side of the road, waiting for the car to pick up.

There is a lot of water on the plastic shed on the top of her head. The center of the shed is falling down. Almost all of them have to hit their heads. Jing Zhi looks up from time to time to look at the place. The more she looks, the more frightened she feels. The plastic shed looks like it will not hold up. She is afraid that the water pours down and drenchs her into a drowned rat. It's too bad!

Meng shaoting looked at her expression and thought it was funny. He reached out and pulled her over, palms on her head. "Aren't you brave?"

Jing Zhi shrinks his neck. "What does this have to do with courage?"

But he did not smile, and she stood side by side in this simple shed, less than half a meter in front of the place, water left behind from the shed became a rain curtain.

He shook her hand and looked at the remote and closed town. All the people were walking slowly and peacefully. The small stalls on the street were set up one by one, selling all kinds of gadgets. Most of them were tourists' businesses. There were ethnic customs, emotional paper-cut, fabric hairpin headwear, and even rough Turquoise Malachite necklace bracelets Well, from a distance, it's very bright and beautiful.

They were not in a hurry when the car had to come a long way. Finally, seeing the weather getting better, they walked out of the shed and along the street.

Gradually there was a bit of bustle, and the tourists seemed to come out of the ground suddenly, stirring the market up!

The simple dressed townspeople, the fashionable and young tourists and the people of the two worlds, however, are so softly integrated and appear on the same canvas, but they are not abrupt at all.

There is a small shop with a very hot business. Meng shaoting and Jing Zhi are both attracted to the past. Small shops are crowded and noisy. They can't get in, but they are not in a hurry. They just stand outside the shop and look at the little things that are put up for sale cheaply.

There is a cardboard card on the shelf, on which a few crooked characters are written with simple oil paint. The couple's bracelet is sold cheaply. Meng shaoting pulls Jing to know in the past. They see that there are many colorful bracelets hanging on the wire mesh shelf under the cardboard. They are all made of silk. There are all kinds of bracelets, but they look extremely beautiful and exquisite!

"Let's buy it, big sale!" Meng shaoting did not lift his head, holding a pair of lovers' bracelets named concentric knot, and said slowly.

He didn't have a lot of mood swings. He asked casually.

"What do you want to buy this for?" Static know can't deny, lovers bracelet, as the name implies, is naturally worn between lovers, what is her relationship with him? Bao. Yang and quilt. Yang?

Meng shaoting held the two necklaces in his fingers and hesitated a little bit. Then he put them down: "let's go."

He turned around and pulled her to leave. The busy boss saw the business at the door slip away. He came over in a panic and smiled enthusiastically: "Sir, it's a good eye. Do you know the origin of that pair of concentric knots you just took?"

Jingzhi could not help laughing when he asked: "it's also the legend of spoony men and complaining women handed down."

The boss laughed heartily: "this young lady has insight, but this concentric knot is not the legend of a man complaining about a woman, but the real thing happened in our town more than 100 years ago!"

"Oh? Let's hear it. " Jing Zhi is interested and stops to turn around.

The boss cleared his throat and said with flying eyebrows: "it's said that at the end of the Qing Dynasty, we had a beautiful young girl who sold needles and thread in the town for a living, but unexpectedly was caught by the leader of a fierce bandit team in the mountain. The eldest one was not old, and his appearance was fair, so he pretended to be a decent man. He went to the girl's stall and bought it After a long time, the girl noticed this person. Slowly, the two people looked at each other right. They were in deep love. One day, the eldest one came to the girl's stall again, hesitated for a long time. He lingered from sunrise to sunset, followed the girl to the door, and then came to the front... "

"But with a bad intention?" Jingzhi frowned and asked urgently.

"Not so." Meng shaoting took over her words: "if this man wants to be unfaithful, he can rob the girl of this poor family directly to the mountain stronghold. He has a lot of trouble, and naturally has a real heart for the girl."

The boss gave a thumbs up: "this gentleman is right! The eldest brother stopped the girl and told her all her heart. The girl was very happy. Ten days later, the eldest brother came to propose marriage. So the eldest brother of the bandit gave the girl the concentric jade he was born with. After a long time, the two said goodbye

"And then? Did the eldest go to propose marriage? " Jingzhi has an ominous premonition in her heart. She likes reading books. Many times, she can guess the end at the beginning, or listen to the hero's words, and then she can guess what is going to happen. At that time, two people with that identity want to have peace and happiness together, which is a dream.

The boss shook his head and sighed, "poor couple are affectionate! The eldest brother was preparing for a family affair when he went back, but unexpectedly the army of the imperial court to suppress the bandits came out. Some of the bandits took bribes and sold all the brothers. After three days of escaping into the mountains, the eldest brother was still caught. The imperial court hated him for a long time and wanted to grow up. He was also related to the revolutionary party and sentenced him to a thousand cuts. On the day of execution, the girl knew what she was thinking My sweetheart is a bandit, not to mention, she looked forward to the beautiful scenery of ten days, but became the heaven and man of the two forever separated. She went to the execution ground with tears, and the two cried, and the heaven and the earth moved... "

"Is it really for lingchi? How could that girl stand the blow? They are both too bitter and pitiful... " Jing Zhi's eyes are already a little red. Compared with this couple, the suffering of her and Shaoxuan seems to be nothing. Meng shaoting raised his eyebrows and smiled, pinching Jing Zhi's hand. "When you see their suffering, I see their joy. At least, in those ten days, the girl is happy and happy every day. At least, at the moment of going to the execution court, the man can see the man in his heart and know that she is the same as he loves her deeply, and she loves him and his heart It must also be happy. "

In the end, his smile seemed to fade. In the deep ink, there was a little bit of desolation gradually. Jingzhi looked at him with surprise, but her heart agreed with his words very much. She did not expect that he, who was always merciless and cruel, had such a hole to see the true meaning of love?

"Later, the girl gathered her lover's body and buried him in the deep mountain. She knitted the concentric jade with the red silk thread on her own hand embroidered red cover and hung it around her neck. Then she hanged herself on the old tree beside the tomb."

"Ah, how could this girl be so infatuated?" Jing Zhi is a little surprised. They don't know each other very well. What's more, the man has been hiding his identity from her all the time. The girl was willing to die for him, which surprised Jing Zhi.

"It's not only what she cares about, but also what she cares about. It's normal for her to be loveless." Meng shaoting said in a low voice.

The boss went on: "after a long time, her body was found by hunters passing by. It's said that the girl's face is still ruddy, as beautiful and moving as it was before her death. The people in the city feel deeply for the two and donate money spontaneously to bury them together. The concentric knot hanging between the girl's neck, because of its beautiful style and good implication, has been learned by the girl generation after generation So far, it's said that men and women in this town can't be separated once they have given each other a concentric knot for a lifetime. The girl's soul will bless these men and women with concentric knots for thousands of years. How about women... "

"Really?" Jing Zhi was immersed in the story for a long time, and only when she heard the last sentence did she ask in a daze.

"Girl, if you don't believe me, go around and ask about it. The concentric knot we sell here is the most authentic one. It's made up by a ninety-eight year old woman in the town. Because I have a little relationship with her, she asked me to sell it on her behalf, but I can't buy it anywhere else! The old lady and her husband sent each other a knot of heart. They had never quarreled with each other in their whole lives. The old man is 101 years old and still strong

"Let's buy a pair." Meng shaoting gently opened his mouth and pointed out the red concentric knot: "it's the red one."

"OK, I'll wrap it for you..."

"No more." Meng shaoting took the wallet and paid for it, then connected the two concentric knots. He unwrapped the rough packing outside and saw the two red bracelets, which were indeed very simple and delicate. He reached out and touched them, but there was not much expression on his face. He just pulled the hand of Jing Zhi, put the slightly smaller one on her, and then put the other one on his wrist, left and right Look, I nodded as if I was very satisfied, which made me know: "let's go, here comes the car."

His tone is light, and his walk is slow and long. He is a little stunned. After being dragged out by him for a long time, she reacts and flashes in a pair of clear eyes
