Chapter Forty-Nine: Leaving Taoyuan Village
Early the next morning, at the entrance of Taoyuan Village. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The swordsman and Sun Orion had breakfast early and were ready to leave. There is still a long way to go from Taoyuan Village to Chang'an City.
Last night, Village Chief Tan specially organized a bonfire party to bid farewell to the swordsman and Sun Orion. Almost all the villagers were present. After all, for more than half a year, the swordsman has gotten along well with all the villagers, not to mention Sun Orion, who was born in Taoyuan Village and grew up in Taoyuan Village.
Therefore, the only people who came to bid farewell to the swordsman and Sun Orion early in the morning were Village Chief Tan, Rain Painter, Doctor Xuan, Chef Sun, and of course Miss Xia'er.
After the four of them instructed the swordsman and Sun Orion, they stood aside with interest. Sun Orion also walked away from the distance, leaving the space to the swordsman and the girl Xia'er.
"Shaoxia, this is for you. ”
Miss Xia'er carefully took something out of the inner pocket of her clothes and handed it to the swordsman.
The swordsman looked at it, but it was the tiger-shaped pendant.
"This... This is what your mother left you, how can I ask for it?"
The swordsman remembered what Miss Xia'er had said that morning, and hurriedly excused himself. Miss Xia'er's mother left abruptly, this tiger-shaped pendant is probably the most important thing her mother left her, right? This is not only a pendant, but also a mother's deep love for her daughter.
Chef Sun, who was standing from a distance and watching the two, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she sighed lightly and didn't say anything. It was the first time that the three of them saw this tiger-shaped pendant, and they didn't know that the mystery was just an ordinary ornament, but Chef Sun knew the inside story well.
"Xia'er has this, this pendant will be given to the young man to take with him, if the young man misses Xia'er, take it out and take a look. Let it replace Xia'er and accompany the young man. ”
Miss Xia'er raised her hand, touched the pearl necklace that the swordsman had put on her neck, and said with a faint smile.
"Shaoxia don't have to excuse himself, otherwise Xia'er should think that Shaoxia doesn't like Xia'er to be by Shaoxia's side. However, the young man must be put close to him. ”
Miss Xia'er added, after speaking, she seemed to feel a little ambiguous in her words, and her little face suddenly turned red with shame.
"Okay, I'll return it to Xia'er when I take it to Chang'an City in the future, and I'll help Xia'er keep it before that. ”
The swordsman took the tiger-shaped pendant, put it on his neck seriously, and carefully tucked it into the collar, which was absolutely impossible to see from the outside.
"Okay, I'll leave when it's not too early, and I'll pick you up when I come back. ”
The swordsman took a deep breath and said, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end." According to the appearance of the two of them, I am afraid that they will not be able to leave today.
"Well, the young man is going to take care all the way. Xia'er is waiting for you here. ”
Miss Xia'er said with a smile. It's just that no one knows how much reluctance is hidden behind the smile.
The swordsman nodded at Miss Xia'er, and turned to walk towards Sun Orion, who was waiting for him in the distance. Suddenly, Miss Xia'er hugged him tightly from behind. This is the first time that the two have been so affectionate in front of outsiders.
"Don't look back, I'm afraid I'll be reluctant to let you go, let me hold for a while, and it'll be fine for a while. ”
The swordsman was about to turn around, but Miss Xia'er stopped him and muttered in a low voice.
The swordsman's body stiffened, and then relaxed. Several people in the distance looked at this scene and had different thoughts in their hearts.
"Okay, Shaoxia remember to come back early to pick up Xia'er. Xia'er is waiting for you. ”
After a while, Miss Xia'er let go of the hands holding the swordsman, took a step back and said.
Hearing this, the swordsman's body trembled, and he wanted to turn around and hold Miss Xia'er in his arms, but he still held back, paused and walked forward without looking back.
The swordsman and Sun Orion had already left the village far away, and they could only see two small black dots slowly moving away from a distance. Village Chief Tan and the three of them had already gone back. Only Chef Sun stayed behind and accompanied Miss Xia'er to stand at the entrance of the village and stop and look into the distance.
Chef Sun looked at her younger brother, and Miss Xia'er said goodbye to her lover. Yes, in her heart, the swordsman is no longer a young hero, but her lover. The relationship between the two has always been separated by a layer of window paper in the middle, and it was finally pierced when they faced parting.
Finally, she couldn't even see the black dots clearly, so Miss Xia'er and Chef Sun walked back.
"Xia'er, the pendant that your mother left you?"
Chef Sun asked.
"Well, I just gave it to Shaoxia. ”
Miss Xia'er's voice was low, no longer as sweet as it used to be.
"But the pendant..."
Chef Sun wanted to speak and stopped, but before she could say it, she was interrupted by Miss Xia'er.
"Senior sister doesn't need to say more. Xia'er knows it. ”
Chef Sun didn't say it anymore, although the pendant was very precious, but Miss Xia'er had grown up, and she could distinguish some things from each other, and she could make her own decisions.
Chef Sun suddenly had a strange feeling, just over half a year ago, Miss Xia'er was still like a child, she would tell herself anything and ask for her opinion. But since the swordsman came to the village, Miss Xia'er has become preoccupied, although sometimes she still talks to herself, but she has lost the kind of dependence she used to have. This feeling is like the daughter I have raised for many years and is suddenly arched by a pig that comes out of nowhere. Even if the pig looks pretty good.
Miss Xia'er was depressed because of the departure of the swordsman, so she didn't go home but separated from Chef Sun halfway and went to the peach blossom forest in the west of the village alone.
This time was different from the last time the swordsman came to Jianye City, the two big men naturally didn't enjoy any scenery along the way, so it was not yet noon, and the swordsman and Sun Orion came to Jianye City.
From the moment he entered the North City Gate, the swordsman was recognized. Until I came to Jianye Yamen. Along the way, there were people who kept greeting the swordsman, and their attitude was very enthusiastic. The swordsman also kept greeting and responding to everyone.
On the contrary, because Sun Orion is a little introverted, although he has come to Jianye City a lot of times, he rarely communicates with people. He walked beside the swordsman, and was secretly surprised to see all this. The Swordsman must have only been here once, right? Why does it seem to be so popular?
"Haha, Shaoxia, you're finally here again. Today for my brother's treat, we don't get drunk and don't return. ”
Zhao Zhutou also heard the discussion of people in the streets and alleys, saying that the swordsman and young man who eliminated harm for the people came to Jianye City. So I didn't care that I was still on patrol, so I hurried back to the county office, and happened to meet the two swordsmen at the gate of the county office.
"Hehe, Brother Zhao, the younger brother is here to bother again. This is the eldest brother of Sun Lisun in Taoyuan Village. Come with me to Chang'an City this time. ”
The swordsman greeted Zhao Zhutou with a smile and introduced Sun Orion to him.
"Oh, to Chang'an City?"
Zhao Zhutou asked curiously while walking towards the county government with the two swordsmen and knights.
