Chapter 5: The Lone Wanderer
At three o'clock in the morning, the snoring of the ancestors and treasures penetrated my ears, and the little Taoist priest lay on his side beside me, and after the heavy rain, the quiet and cold moonlight sprinkled in, and the little Taoist priest was covered with a layer of silver frost. I squinted my eyes slightly www.biquge.info he turned slightly, looked at me, sighed, in the moonlight, his eyes reflected a little light, I was afraid that he would find me awake, busy closing his eyes, pretending to be asleep.
Not long after, I felt a slight movement around me, I covered my eyes with my hands, leaving only a gap, the little Taoist priest put on legging socks and shoes, turned around and looked at us silently, then got up and carefully opened the wooden door......
Maybe it's because I'm sensitive, and I've been feeling uneasy lately. As the minutes ticked by, I looked at the door that had not been pushed open, and kept reassuring myself that it might be convenient for him to wake up...... It's just that my gut tells me that he will never come back after he goes out......
I once asked myself how it would feel if one day I returned to the present day and were separated from these partners who were born and died, and never saw each other again......
Little Taoist priest was one of the earliest friends I met in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and since he rescued me from the branches of the man-eating vine, I have had the illusion that we have known each other for a long time...... For a long time......
I clenched the thin quilt in my hand and waited for a full ten minutes, but he didn't come back. The uneasiness in my heart grew stronger and stronger, so strong that I didn't notice that the old ancestor had stopped purring.
Just as I was about to get up to look for him, to my surprise, before me, the old ancestor got up one step faster than me, I couldn't hold it anymore, lifted the quilt, the old ancestor was surprised, and then smiled: "Xiaoliuzi, it turns out that you are also awake......
I nodded and said hurriedly: "Zhang Zhuyi didn't come back!"
The old ancestor had already noticed that something was wrong, he looked at the moon outside the window, and said, "He is determined to leave us......
Although I was prepared for the worst, when my ancestor said it, my heart became more and more uncomfortable.
The old ancestor said: "I see that his character is dull, I guess he is a lone wanderer, let's quickly get him back, in case he goes away, it will be too late~" As he spoke, he hurriedly pushed the sleeping treasure next to him, and the treasure grunted, waved his hand, turned over and continued to sleep, thinking that he had no heart and lungs, and lived freely.
The old ancestor couldn't do anything, so he leaned into his ear and said, "Hurry up, the six sisters of the Wang family are here!"
This was a nightmare for the treasure, and he sat up and said in horror, "Where?"
However, after looking around, where was the shadow of the six sisters of the Wang family, Baocai realized that he had been deceived by the old ancestor, looked sideways at us, and said angrily: "Boring! You are an owl for two nights, don't you sleep?
"We're going to chase someone!" said the old ancestor.
"In the middle of the night, who are you chasing?" Baocai yawned, rubbed his eyes, and asked me what time I was, I told him that at 03:21 in the morning, he broke a sentence, and then lay on the bed softly, and said, "Oh, it's still early, can't you give me a comfortable sleep!"
The old ancestor put on his clothes, and I hurriedly said: "Sleep a fart, your Zhang Banxian is gone!"
"Where have you gone?" asked Bao Cai casually, realizing something, he sat up suddenly, looked at us in amazement, and shouted, "What do you mean?
The old ancestor immediately covered his mouth, made a silent gesture to him, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't shout, otherwise the six sisters of the Wang family will have a long talk with us!"
Baocai nodded, realized the seriousness of the matter at the moment, and hurriedly put on his clothes.
At this moment, there was a thin layer of black clouds floating in front of the silver moon, hazy. With a hint of coolness outside, we got on the horse, it had rained last night, the country road was wet, we could see the footprints of the horse's hooves, we followed the footprints for a while, under the blue earth, a melancholy back, riding forward slowly.
We were overjoyed, just looking at his back, I felt faintly uncomfortable in my heart, according to the usual little Taoist priest, it is impossible for someone to come behind him, and he will not notice it. It must be that he is preoccupied now, so he doesn't care about the movement behind him.
"Zhang Zhuyi!" I called him excitedly!
When he heard my voice, he was stunned for a moment, and when he turned to look at us, there was a look of surprise on his face.
If it weren't for his reluctance to us, I guess we wouldn't have been able to catch up with him at all. The silver moon showed her delicate face from the clouds again, the lonely person is most afraid of loneliness, he is in front of us, we are behind, silently looking at each other, with a distance of more than ten meters.
"Where are you going?" I was the first to break the silence.
His eyes were misty, and he said lightly: "It's far away......"
"Are you going to Shanshan Country?" the old ancestor seemed to have anticipated the movements of the little Taoist priest.
The little Taoist priest's body shook for a moment, looked up at the old ancestor, was silent for a while, and then nodded.
"The yellow sand is all over the sky, why are you going to toss there?" Baocai wondered.
The little Taoist priest said sadly: "I must go to ......"
"That's right, let's get together!" said the old ancestor.
"Let's ...... together" The little Taoist priest recited silently, his face was sour, he smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm going to see someone...... You don't need to accompany me,......" he said, reining in his horse, turning forward, and said, "I am grateful for the care I have received during this time, but I hope to see you again one day." ”
"Wait!" Almost at the same time, the three of us stopped the little Taoist priest who was about to drive a horse away.
He stood still with his back to us, and I could feel the heaviness of his heart at this moment.
At the critical time, I was short of words and couldn't speak, so I relied on the old ancestor to speak, and he said: "Little Heavenly Master, we don't feel at ease if you go so far alone...... Also, we are not going to accompany you, to be honest, since I saw that piece of white jade, I thought in my heart that I was going to Shanshanguo, maybe I could get a few special artifacts, so we can go together at this time, and when we get to the destination, you just need to see people, let's go and touch some gold!"
When I heard this, I looked at the old ancestor in surprise and thought, "When did he have the idea of going to Loulan to touch gold?"
The old ancestor looked at me and Baocai with a confused expression, approached us, and whispered: "I thought about it temporarily, I have to find a reason!"
I looked at my ancestors, and a touch of warmth suddenly welled up in my heart. The Western Regions are far away from us, and it takes a long time to drive in modern times, and now that the ancestor has decided to ride a horse for thousands of miles, the reason he thought of for a while is really interesting......
Bao Cai whispered to the old ancestor: "In charge, let's just accompany the half-immortal, won't we really want to touch the gold?" Although I like those worthy spiritual weapons, but last time my life was almost gone, so I don't want to go underground anymore." ”
The old ancestor said: "Naturally, but let's not find a reason, with a person like Xiao Tianshi who doesn't say hello and sneaks away, can go with us? But it doesn't matter if he agrees or not, we can take turns to look at him, and follow him to the Western Regions with a dead face." ”
Listening to what the old ancestor said, I suddenly understood why the coaxing Second Master Qin and the little Taoist priest all joined the Golden Gate, and it is estimated that they were all forcibly pulled in by the old ancestor.
I couldn't cry or laugh in my heart, and whispered: "Aren't you in a hurry to go back to Xijing (Chang'an)?"
The old ancestor smiled unnaturally and said in a low voice: "I am not in such a hurry to go back to Xijing (Chang'an), but I am afraid that the stinky girl in the door will chatter, so I am in a hurry to go back." Now that I've been delayed for a long time, I guess I can take the little Heavenly Master back and be a shield for me......"
When I heard this, I was more and more surprised, it turned out that the ancestors also had nemesis!
Baocai learned that he didn't have to go to the inverted bucket, so he took a reassuring pill, but in order to keep the little Taoist, he pulled his voice and said insincerely: "That's right, the one in charge, I didn't catch any valuable treasures in Yuanling, and my heart was panicked, since I heard Wang Bajian say that Shanshan has treasures, I dreamed of the valuable things there! If you want me to see and see, then I have no regrets!"
The moonlight sprinkled on the long path, and no one could see the darkness in the distance, but we all knew that it would not be long before the morning glow would approach us with the footsteps of the early morning.
The little Taoist priest listened to what we said, he never said anything, he sat on the horse, staring at the stars in the sky for a long time, at this time a cool breeze blew, I rubbed my arms, finally, he spoke: "The road is very long, it will be very hard......"
As the saying goes, sometimes you need to be reluctant, and if you watch him disappear without effort and without retention, all three of us will regret it.
We were so excited that we hurried to his side, and the big guys looked at each other and smiled.
I looked at his relaxed smiling face under the dark blue sky, and suddenly I felt that it felt good to have lost it again. I don't know who he's going to see on this trip, or what kind of things he's carrying on his heart, but from now on he is no longer a lonely traveler, because he has more of us by his side.
Just as we were about to leave, the rooster crowed in the village, and not far away, a man led his horse, waved at us, and shouted, "Heroes! )
