Chapter 17: The White Moon of Kiri
Knowing that once Wu Er made up his mind, it would be ten cows that could not be pulled back, Song Pan had no choice but to say that he would go back to Yunjin City to wait for his news, and before leaving, Wu Er wrote a letter to You Nian'an, attaching the words that he had repeatedly considered on the hospital bed in the past few days to his back, and he didn't know if he would see him again in the future......
_Nian'an:
Hello!
I'm sorry, I thought it should be a comfortable graduation trip and finally had to end in a hurry, and I didn't even have time to return to Sucheng to hand over the words I promised to write to you, Sister Mei said that you want to take this song to Yunjin City to compete, if there is a fate, maybe I can go to the scene to cheer for you, these days humming the song you hummed at the beginning, I tried to write this song, I hope it is worthy of your song.
A reed oar, the white lotus root is full of boats, and the river is as green as blue
The drama holds the palace fan, and the cool eyes fall on the group
How much the west wind hates, it can't blow away the eyebrows, and only Gu Qing in this life
But with a pot of wine, drunk and lying on the willow bank
Drink the wind and dust and hear people sing
The green trees and tall branches chirp cicadas
The reflection of safflower into the pond
Only then did I see the lotus waves and know the wind
A rose full of incense_
Wu Er sealed the letterhead and searched for several streets to find the post office, You Nian'an grew up in the ancient town of Sucheng, and his mother You Kemei was so traditional and conservative about instant messaging in modern society, but even so, this handwritten letter was pinched in his hand, but Wu Er was inexplicably moved, maybe something really shouldn't be lost in the big dye vat of the information age.
After going through the discharge procedures, I learned that all the expenses were paid by Ye Feisong, and after lying in the hospital for many days, Ye Feisong never appeared again, Wu Er felt that things were not so simple, they had been dormant in Sucheng for many years waiting for the descendants of the Wu clan, and they were familiar with You Kemei, and they thought that Sister Mei was also very likely to have something to do with this matter, and now she suddenly ignored it, could it be that during the time when she was in a coma in the ancient temple, Ye Feisong had already achieved what she wanted?
Damn, that wooden hairpin! Wu Er reacted, in the mound of clothes, it was the hairpin that caused the streamer to fly, although it was impossible to explain the reason for this, but such an unbelievable situation at least proved that the hairpin was absolutely insignificant.
Didn't dare to delve into it, Wu Er and Song Pan said goodbye at the train station, and it was more than a thousand kilometers back to their hometown, on the train, the shape of ** people walked by, Wu Er sat by the window, carefully recalling all the things that happened during this time, the cognition of the natural world was broken and reorganized in his mind, he tried to convince himself that the ghostly black shadow and the words of the unknown woman he saw in the hotel mirror that day were no longer hallucinations outside reality, and he may have stepped on a supernatural path at this moment......
On the first night on the train, many people fell asleep in exhaustion, and occasionally the conductor who passed by kindly reminded those passengers who were about to arrive at the station, Wu Er held his cheeks with one hand and looked at the lights outside like stars, I don't know if the train air conditioning was too full, in the early hours of the morning, I felt a little cool, Wu Er got up, and the long-term sitting posture made his legs and feet a little numb, he walked to the carriage where the train got off, took a cup of hot water, the light above his head was weak, he moved his legs and feet, and stretched his waist for a long time, but a stinging sensation suddenly came from his right eye under the white gauze, Wu Er grinned, and gently lifted the corner of the gauze through the window, Seeing that there was no trauma in the right eye, it looked no different from ordinary people on the surface, recalling the scene when the hairpin was pulled out at the end, and in the strong white light that bloomed in such an instant, it seemed that there was really a line of flocculent that pierced into the right eye, Wu Er simply tore off the gauze, looked at himself in the car window in a daze, and carefully looked at the pupil of his right eye.
"Meow~!" A cat meow suddenly sounded in the quiet air, Wu Er subconsciously turned around, and saw a cat popping up in the corner of the carriage at some point, licking his meat paws at the moment, tilting his head and staring at Wu Er.
Silver-white finger long hair, round and cute eyes, a smart and energetic appearance can instantly melt people's hearts, Wu Er and it looked at each other for a long time, but his heart was set off turbulent, because the appearance of this cat is too similar to the cat nailed to the lotus plate by the wooden hairpin in the thousand-year-old temple......
"Meow~" The white cat barked at Wu Er again, then walked slowly to his feet, raised his chin and rubbed it on his leg, and looked at the water cup in his hand.
couldn't resist such an intimate act, Wu Er squatted down, stroked its head, and chuckled: "Do you want to drink water?"
"Meow~" Who knew that the white cat nodded at him, seemed to understand his words, Wu Er was surprised, and then smiled bitterly, so he had to hand the water cup in his hand to it, the white cat stretched out its soft tongue, and soon licked the warm water in the water cup, and finally licked it twice on the back of Wu Er's hand, the warm feeling spread throughout the body, and the cute appearance made Wu Er like this cat all of a sudden, but maybe it was a passenger's pet, Wu Er didn't think much about it, stood up and returned to his carriage seat, but not long after sitting down, he felt a warm thigh, Wu Er hurriedly lowered his head, and found that the white cat actually jumped on him with himThe passenger sitting opposite Wu Er was a young girl who had just gotten on the train from the previous station, and when she saw such a cat at first glance, she couldn't help but show a look of extreme envy: "Wow! This cat is so beautiful, did you raise it?"
Wu Er didn't say anything, the white cat opened his claws and suddenly lay on Wu Er's chest, as if she was coquettish to him, the girl with the ball head happily took out her mobile phone, and took a photo of the cat without waiting for Wu Er's consent, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, in order not to attract the attention of others, Wu Er simply hugged the white cat to his lap.
"I've never seen such a good cat, it's so beautiful, and its eyes are still blue!" The young girl looked at the photo in the mobile phone and praised it sincerely, which made Wu Er secretly surprised, so he lowered his head, who knew that the white cat was also looking at him at the moment, a person and a cat looked at each other for more than ten seconds, Wu Er found that it was really as the girl said, the white cat's eyes were covered with a faint layer of blue.
"What's its name?" she seemed to be interested in the white cat.
Wu Ernene didn't answer, but a delicate and elegant woman's voice suddenly sounded in her head: My name is Qili Baiyue.
His face was as white as paper in an instant, Wu Er looked down at the white cat suddenly, and at that moment, he was completely sure that it was the cat that had been frozen by the wooden hairpin for thousands of years in the ancient temple.
"What's the matter, isn't it convenient to say?" The girl on the other side looked nervous at him, as if she had been greatly stimulated, and was a little surprised.
"Oh...... No, no, no, it's okay......" Wu Er hurriedly smiled, quickly calmed down, and replied, "It's called Bai Yue." β
"Bai Yue?" the young woman chewed on the name, and a smile quickly broke out on her face: "It really looks like a girl when you hear the name, haha." β
"Ha, yes, it's a female cat......" Wu Erqiang smiled, the first time in his life he encountered this kind of psychic situation, but since it has the word Qili in its name, it must also have something to do with the Qili family, at least one thing is certain, this cat is a friend and not an enemy.
The long way home, I didn't expect that there would be more cats coming out halfway, Wu Er tried to talk to Bai Yue several times, but found that it was just wishful thinking, the psychic initiator of people and cats seemed to depend on Bai Yue's willingness, so far, Wu Er felt annoyed, after all, as long as Bai Yue was willing to speak, many things could be asked clearly, but in the current situation, Bai Yue didn't pay attention to him at all, in desperation, Wu Er just held his face and muttered to Shan Lan outside the train: "Sure enough, I'd rather raise a dog than a cat, cats are still too difficult to serve." β
It was noon the next day in Shanglu, and the sun was still hot overhead, Bai Yue fell asleep on his shoulder, exuding a faint peculiar fragrance on his body, Wu Er felt very comfortable smelling it, and couldn't help but put his nose on Bai Yue and took a few deep breaths, and said secretly in his heart: "This cat that has existed for thousands of years is really different, it actually has the effect of refreshing the qi." β
Who knew that the next moment, Bai Yue's flesh claws had already pressed against his face, and he looked at him with light blue cat pupils, and said a word for the first time: "Stay away, it's hot." β
"I ......" Wu Er's chest froze, and he swallowed his breath back, "Forget it, I don't know like a cat." β
From the entrance of the village to home, there are still two miles to go, Bai Yue is full of curiosity about the world, sometimes in order to see further, he simply hugs Wu Er's forehead with his front feet, and then rides on Wu Er's neck, Wu Er also follows it.
Shanglu Village, the house with white walls and black tiles will always spread out in the lush woods like a picture scroll, Wu Er took Bai Yue to push open the courtyard door of the old house, everything was extremely cold, the door of the grandmother's room was closed, and no one responded after knocking for a long time, there was an uneaten meal on the table in the hall, it seemed that there was something to go out, just put down something in his room, but saw Bai Yue go to the back hall, he did not make a sound, but gently lifted the curtain corner of the back hall, and saw Bai Yue squatting in front of the tablet engraved with the name of Qili Yuntang and looked at it stupidly, in silence, heard a lamentγ
"Do you know her?" Wu Er broke the silence and asked.
Unexpectedly, Bai Yue took the initiative to answer him for the first time: "She is my master." β
"So, master, are you really a thousand years old?"
"When the gate of eternal life was opened, mortals wanted to spy on the power of Lingwa, the five major families were added by the five elements of calamity, and I also became an immortal thing without ** return in that catastrophe. Bai Yue's words seemed to carry a thousand years of sadness, Wu Er didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to change his mouth and say: "Then how did you get nailed to the box of the ancient temple?"
"......" Bai Yue didn't speak, and suddenly turned her head to look at him tightly, Wu Er was stunned by her staring at him for a while, and hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay if you don't want to say it, I'll just ask......"
"It was Yun Tang who sealed me in the box, originally did not have much hope, but the disaster of the five elements came by her hands, this is the biggest sin of her life, and for the rest of her life, she has been doing her best to make up for it, but how short a life is, Yun Tang condensed the last drop of witch blood into his hairpin when he was dying, and protected him with his immortal body, hoping that the descendants of the Wu clan could inherit her unfulfilled wishes, but I didn't expect that this hope has been thousands of years old. As she spoke, Bai Yue suddenly jumped on his shoulder and slowly lay down, as if she was tired from talking too much.
"What do you mean is that this Five Elements Scourge still exists in the world?"
"Meow~" Bai Yue nodded, as if returning to the cat's voice, it seems that Bai Yue also has its limits to psychic speaking, no wonder it has always cherished words like gold.
Wu Er looked at Bai Yueyuan's cute appearance, it was really hard to imagine that this small body had a soul that had passed through thousands of years, in fact, there were still many doubts unsolved, what is the disaster of the five elements? What will be the consequences if it is not made to disappear? And the most important piece of information is the five major families, which reminds Wu Er of the note found in the unknown box - "The doctor of the Beishui Fang Clan, and the Five Clans are sealed, praying for the future generations." It seems that everything can only be learned from Bai Yue in the future.
Bai Yue seemed to fall asleep because the psychic said too much, Wu Er carried it to his bed, sat down at the desk with a long sigh of relief, his right eye still couldn't see things, although it had little impact on his appearance, but after all, he lost the vision range of one eye, and it was really difficult to fully adapt to it all of a sudden, he got up and was about to lie down, but suddenly heard the 'click' sound of the padlock of the courtyard door, Wu Er hurriedly got up and opened the door: "Grandma?"
β...... When did you come back?" It turned out that it was Xiu Yao who opened the courtyard door, and seeing that she was holding a bundle of prickly pears in her hand, she thought that she had sent the herbs to her grandmother again.
"Oh...... It's Xiu Yao, in fact, I haven't been back for long, just right, do you know where my grandmother went?" Wu Er hurriedly stepped forward to take it, but the action was extremely careful, since it was discovered that Xiu Yao had a serious cleanliness habit, the distance between them has slowly become much more estranged, Xiu Yao's father suffered from a rare serious illness a few years ago, and spent all the family's savings, and then there was really no way, so he had to be sent home for conservative treatment, Xiu Yao was very filial, and went into the mountains every day to catch medicine according to the prescription, fortunately, there were many kinds of herbs in Shanglu Xianhe Mountain, and after so many years of perseverance, her father's condition finally improved, but because of this incident, Xiu Yao dropped out of school very early at home, and it was also from that time that Wu Er was studying outside, and the childhood sweethearts who originally grew up together often only met once or twice a yearOver time, the things I have seen are different, the topics are different, and between each other, I only keep the tenderness of childhood in my heart.
"Grandma Qi seems to have gone to Xianhe Mountain in the morning, saying that she was going to pick some honeysuckle, and now at this time, she should be back soon. Xiu Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead, and suddenly saw a cat coming out behind Wu Er, snow-white, very good-looking, and couldn't help but praise: "Ah, little Er! I didn't expect you to bring such a cute cat back this time." β
Wu Er turned his head and found that Bai Yue didn't know when he woke up, it habitually climbed onto Wu Er's shoulder, Xiu Yao couldn't help but reach out to it and wanted to touch it, but who knew that Bai Yue was unusual, and his body tightened and let out a low roar, so frightened that Xiu Yao quickly retracted his hand again, and his face was also white, Wu Er was a little surprised when he saw Bai Yue show such a posture for the first time, so he had to caress Bai Yue's body while smiling bitterly at Xiu Yao: "Aha...... Maybe Bai Yue has some recognition, don't be afraid, it doesn't bite. β
"Yes...... Yes, haha, because it's really cute and pretty, I can't help but want to touch it, but since it doesn't like people to get close, then I won't bother too much, let's go first. Xiu Yao smiled and waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and then turned around and walked away quickly.
