Volume 2 Xianmen Chapter 60 Heavy snow
Nine years ago, the State of Qi.
Five-year-old Bai Ze looked at the snowfall, there were very few people coming and going on the streets of the town, every house was lit up, the family was happy, and the sound of children frolicking was endless.
Xie Xuan was wearing a shabby sheepskin jacket, stretched thin, holding the stubborn donkey with a missing front tooth in his left hand, and a yellow wooden staff in his right hand, and a wine gourd with a good color tied to the cane.
Bai Ze sat on the back of the old donkey, dressed in a single coat with a short brown knot.
The master and apprentice had just come out of the deep mountains and old forests.
Bai Ze stared, looked around at the lively scene of the town, and looked enviously at the children who were about the same age as him, all of them were carved in pink, wearing clean and beautiful cotton clothes, in groups of three or five in the snow, building snowmen and having snowball fights.
"Ah Xiang, tell your father to come home for dinner!" A woman shouted at the door, "Stop playing, my mother made braised fish tonight, go home and wash your hands and eat!"
"Hey, yes, mother!" shouted the kid who was building a snowman with his playmate, waved to his companion, and ran quickly, "I'm going to call Daddy!"
The heavy snow fell into Bai Ze's neck, and he twitched his immature shoulders, exhaling a long white vapor, steaming in the wind and snow, and quickly dispersed.
"Master, it's so lively here. Xiao Bai Ze said with some envy.
"Hehe, it's the New Year, of course it's lively. Xie Xuan also exhaled a thick white mist in the wind and snow, with a faint aroma of wine, looked back at Bai Ze who was shrinking, and asked him, "What, little guy, is it cold? When it's cold, take a sip of wine, and later the master will go to find a shop and sell the elixir from the mountains, and the two of us will get the silver, and we will also go to buy a new clothes, and then find an inn, eat comfortably, and sleep beautifully!"
Bai Ze swallowed his saliva, looking forward to it.
Life in the mountains is not easy.
Deep in the mountains and old forests, except for the master and this old donkey, there are man-eating beasts everywhere.
And you will often encounter very powerful demons, swallowing clouds and spitting fog at every turn, and the whole mountain is shaking with a roar.
"Master, it's snowing. Bai Ze smiled, looked at Xie Xuanxiaosuo's back, and said, "I'm a year older again!
"Haha, the good guy is really sensible. Xie Xuan smiled, "It is said that my daughter is a little padded jacket, and my apprentice Xie Xuan is more sensible than the little padded jacket, and knows how to leave the wine for the master to drink!"
"Hey, that's. Bai Ze raised his head and said proudly, "I said, you support me now, and I will support you in the future! When I grow up, I will earn a lot of money, buy a house in the city, and buy a lot of doormen and maids, so that you can be served comfortably every day!"
"It's hot, I told them to fan you. Bai Ze said, "When it's cold, I'll tell them to burn coals without smoke." Every day, I have to go and drink for you in person!"
"Then I'll have to wait. Xie Xuan laughed, "Wait for you to buy a house in the city and serve me comfortably!"
Bai Ze laughed stupidly, fantasizing about the day that would come.
He knew it at a very young age.
He was picked up by the master, and he didn't have a father.
So other children have good food, new clothes to wear, and pets, but he doesn't.
Bai Ze only has Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan is the best person in this world who treats him well.
It was his master who raised him, and he was his relative.
"Little Shirasawa. Xie Xuan took the old donkey and suddenly said to him, "Actually, think about it for the teacher, it's good to do this." ”
"Huh?" Bai Ze rubbed his hands and breathed into his palms.
"Grow up with you, find a beautiful girl in the future, marry a daughter-in-law, and I will personally pull down this old face to tell you a matchmaker. Xie Xuan said, "Then you give me a big fat boy, I won't run around, and teach that bastard boy all the skills!
"Hehe, I'm still young. Bai Ze was a little shy.
Xie Xuan laughed.
The master and apprentice walked for a long time in the snowstorm.
For a long time.
It's been so long that Bai Ze now looks at the heavy snow on Zaobing Peak, and thinks of the past again, his eyes are very hot.
It's like there's something swirling around in there.
My heart is a little sour.
It hurts again.
Bai Ze took a deep breath, and the cold mountain wind poured into his lungs, making him shiver.
"What's wrong?" Pei Guoguo turned his head and looked at Bai Ze.
"Why are your eyes red?" Pei Guoguo asked Bai Ze.
"The wind is strong and blowing. Bai Ze said with a smile.
"Oh. Pei Guoguo wilted and rested his chin on his knee.
"Senior sister. Bai Ze suddenly called her.
"Huh?" Pei Guoguo looked at Bai Ze.
"It's snowing. "The first snow of the year. ”
"That's right. Pei Guoguo looked at Bai Ze curiously.
"I'm a year older. Bai Ze said with a smile, the water under his eyes finally couldn't bear it anymore, and it fell into the snow under his feet and froze into ice beads.
"Little junior brother, what's wrong with you?" Pei Guoguo was a little panicked, and he was in a hurry, "Is someone bullying you?" Tell Senior Sister and see how Senior Sister cleans him up!"
"No, senior sister. Bai Ze looked at the night sky, "Someone told me that the first snow of every year is my birthday. This year's snow has fallen, and I miss him, I really miss him. ”
Pei Guoguo was stunned.
"But I don't know if he misses me. Bai Ze blinked, lowered his head, and let the mountain wind blow his black hair, "I don't even know if he's still alive." ”
Pei Guoguo hugged Bai Ze.
"It's fine. The girl gently patted the boy on the back and said, "If you want to cry, cry." When I was sad before, the third senior sister also comforted me in this way. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. ”
The mountain wind is howling and the snow is overwhelming.
The mountain path runs from the main hall to the foot of the mountain.
The stone monument engraved with the three characters of "Sitting on the Forgotten Peak" has been buried in the wind and snow, and the mountain road is full of snow.
When Lin Xiao emerged from the heavy snow, he saw the woman waiting for him to come back at the bottom of the mountain.
"It's the end of the year, and it's still so worry-free?" Zhuang Yan frowned coldly, wrapped in a big coat, and looked at the man in green shirt who had injured himself all over, and he was angry.
"Hey, I knew early on that you would be waiting for me down the hill. Lin Xiao carried Zhuang Sheng's sword and walked towards the mountain gate step by step.
"Then do you know that I waited for you outside the mountain gate for three whole days?" Zhuang Yan asked him.
Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, just smiled and didn't speak.
Zhuang Yan was angry and helpless.
The woman suddenly noticed that the sword aura in Lin Xiao's hand was completely gone, and she immediately frowned and asked him, "Your sword?"
"It's broken. The blood stains on Lin Xiao's body had turned into ice, and he said carelessly when he heard the words.
"Broken?" Zhuang Yan stepped forward, "How could it be broken?"
Lin Xiao just smiled and didn't say a word.
"How are you going to explain to Master when you go up the mountain like this?" Zhuang Yan glared at Lin Xiao angrily.
But the man in the green shirt just laughed, reached out and pressed the top of the woman's head, and chuckled, "Yan'er has grown up and knows that she feels sorry for her senior brother." ”
"What the hell did you do?" Zhuang Yan asked him.
"I'm tired. Lin Xiao's whole person fell directly to Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan caught him, looking at his tired face with his eyes closed, and a circle of cyan stubble growing on his chin, he couldn't help but lose his temper after all.
"I'll take you up the mountain. Zhuang Yan was helpless.
"Hmm. Lin Xiao snorted lazily.
"I'll walk the mountain road to buy you some time. Zhuang Yan carried Lin Xiao on her back, and her tone was very cold, "You regulate your own breath, the master can't hide it, at least don't let the junior brothers and sisters see the clues." ”
"Good. Lin Xiao closed his eyes.
The wind and snow were very strong.
Zhuang Yan carried Lin Xiao on her back and stubbornly walked forward on the mountain road.
"It reminds me of when I was going up the mountain. Lin Xiao suddenly said in Zhuang Yan's ear, "But it was not like now, it was a sunny day." Master carries me, Senior Brother carries you, and the four of us do the same, from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. ”
"When will it be your turn to carry me up the mountain?" Zhuang Yan snorted.
"I'd rather never have that day. Lin Xiao said with a smile.
"You owe me. Zhuang Yan said, "There are always times when you come back." ”
"It's quite a grudge. Lin Xiao said.
Until the figures of the two were submerged in the mountains and forests, they could no longer be seen.
Only those who were hiding in the shadows emerged from the snowstorm.
She looked at the towering peaks of Zaobia Peak, and the snow fell all over her body, and she didn't notice it.
In this lonely world, there are always people who are accompanied by their loved ones.
There are people who can only embrace the wind, frost, rain and snow in loneliness.
In this thorny long road of life, how many people are willing to wait for you in the wind and snow?
Wait until you return from the depths of the snowstorm.
Waiting for your back.
and dissipated from the sight.
