Xia Qing stood beside Chu Qiao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Chu Qiao's hand held the crockpot tightly, as if to say goodbye to him again.
"Xia Qing, let's sprinkle it together, Old Man Hua also loved you the most as an apprentice when he was alive. ”
"Good. ”
Xia Qing looked at the two hands on the crockpot, they were trembling slightly.
Ah Yu stood behind them, protecting them.
After the last incident, it has also become less secure.
Chu Qiao put his hand into the crockpot and scattered a handful of ashes.
The ashes fluttered in the wind and soon disappeared into the sea of sunflowers.
She shaved one handful after another, and Xia Qing also followed her.
Soon, the crockpot was empty.
The crockpot, which was still with a trace of temperature, slowly cooled down, and the old man disappeared completely.
"Xia Qing, do you regret it?"
"Either way, I don't regret it. ”
"Xia Qing, thank you. ”
Chu Qiao looked at the sea of flowers in front of him.
Mother, you're here too, aren't you, now, the old man is here to accompany you.
Mother, I've grown up, and I've done everything you asked me to do.
Mother, I will definitely come to see you often in the future.
Mother, I will be diligent in government and love the people.
Mother, may this prosperous world be as you wish.
Mother, I miss you.
Tears, dripping down.
I used to think that I would be stronger and braver than ordinary people when I didn't feel it.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
It turned out that she was just an ordinary person.
You will be tired, you will be sad, and you will want to find someone to rely on.
It turned out that her mother was the same as her.
Even if she is a saint who has it all.
But at the end of the day, they're just women.
Chu Qiao raised his head, and several swallows flew right overhead.
The twitter is so lively.
She turned around and found Ayu kneeling towards her.
"Ah Yu, you are ......."
"I'm leaving Miaojiang. ”
He spoke calmly, and there was even a smile on his lips, "For so many years, I have been in Miaojiang, doing right and wrong things." I wanted to go out and break in, and it was okay, but I didn't live in vain. ”
"What about Elder Naqi? Have you said goodbye to him?"
After asking this question, even Chu Qiao himself felt very strange.
"He.... It's going to be fine. After all these years, I feel like I've almost paid it off. ”
He looked at the ground, thoughtful.
Elder Qi gave him life, and he gave him back his life.
That's enough.
"I see..... Do you want to go now?"
"Yes, let's go now. ”
Ah Yu got up and glanced at Chu Qiao deeply.
"Chu Qiao, you asked me before, did you regret saving you. Now I tell you, I don't regret saving you that year. It's nothing else, because you're me, best friend, always, always have been. ”
"Thank you......"
That day, it seemed to pass quickly.
By the time Xia Qing came back to his senses, everything seemed to have been settled.
sent away the old man and sent away Ayu.
In her memory, when Ah Yu rode away.
That back.
Lonely and proud.
In the sunset, it shines.
Chu Qiao, who was beside him, had tears in his eyes.
The tears were just in her eyes, and she stubbornly didn't let them fall.
She waved her hand vigorously at the back, and even though he couldn't see it, she waved and waved hard.
The setting sun stretched the shadows of the two of them for a long, long time.
She remembered that in her ear, Chu Qiao had asked her softly,
"Xia Qing, you won't leave me, right?
"Xia Qing, if you have any difficulties in the future, come to Miaojiang to find me.
"Xia Qing, no matter what happens, I am on your side.
"Xia Qing, I seem to have lost a lot of things in an instant. ”
Later memories are chaotic and vague.
She remembered that she was taken onto the horse by Qu Ziyan in a daze.
In my ears was the neighing of horses and the breathing of Qu Ziyan.
It's cool on the road.
The wind blew her whole body.
The wind slid on my cheeks, and it was very refreshing.
The horses didn't seem to be running fast along the way.
Qu Ziyan seems to be followed by a lot of people.
She didn't hear Mochen's voice all the way.
I don't know what happened to him.
That was the end of the day.
Everything about Miao Jiang seems to be a dream she had.
In the dream, there is a group of people's grievances, love and hatred, a group of people's joys and sorrows, a group of people's love and suffering, and a group of people's life and death.
Inadvertently, this love-hate dream suddenly woke up.
One by one, the living people were gone.
The Buddha said that in this life, there are seven sorrows.
Birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love parting, can't ask for it.
In the days of Miaojiang, these seven sorrows Xia Qing clearly felt it.
Even if these things seem to be ethereal, they really exist.
In the years to come, whenever Xia Qing recalls this past, she will always ask herself why she was so brave and fearless back then.
It seems that there is nothing to be afraid of in the future, as if she can overcome all the obstacles in the future and fight to the end.
What Chu Qiao said to her, she remembered very clearly.
It won't be easily forgotten.
Not being able to attend her wedding was also a lifelong regret for her.
But then I can know that she is doing well, and that is the best.
These cranky thoughts are Xia Qing's consistent style.
She always likes to think too much.
On the horse that day, she just thought a lot.
So her memories of that day were confused.
She remembered that when she returned to the capital that day, it was already dark.
The gates were shut.
There were a few soldiers guarding the door, pointing spears at them with straight faces.
Qu Ziyan never seems to panic.
He took something out of his bosom and handed it to the soldier.
The soldier immediately put away his spear and respectfully opened the side door to let them in.
This was also what surprised Xia Qing that day.
She always thought that Qu Ziyan, as a person from the rivers and lakes, had nothing to do about an official place like the capital.
But he always had something to surprise her.
Their horses ran through a dark street.
Fortunately, it was late that day, and there was not even a ghost on the road.
Otherwise, Xia Qing was really afraid that he would hit pedestrians on the road.
Mochen seems to have parted ways with them a long time ago.
She didn't see him until she returned to the Drunken Immortal Tower.
It was Qu Ziyan who carried her all the way back to her room.
The little bed she was familiar with.
The bed had her own familiar smell.
It's back.
It's finally back.
She remembered the song in her ear, and whispered to her,
"Good night, remember dreaming of me. “
Then, he disappeared.
Then, with the moonlight of the capital, she gradually fell asleep.
In the dream, it is everyone in Miao Jiang.
They all got together, and there was even an old man in it.
They were all smiling.
Old Man Hua carried his treasure basket on his back, and Elder Qi stood beside him.
Liao's father-in-law and Liao's mother looked at her with a smile.
Ah Yu stood on the very edge, and his always serious handsome face was also rarely smiling.
Azhu, Aju, Ame, and Alan also stood happily on the side.
Liao Qing stood behind Chu Qiao shyly, as if he wanted to hold her hand.
This little couple seems to be very happy.
Everybody's good, and that's the best.
Finally, she heard Chu Qiao say to her,
"Xia Qing, Miao Jiang welcomes you back as a guest at any time. ”
"Yes, I will. ”
