Chapter 249: No Moon

The carriage has been found, and it would not have been found in this place.

But just as it was getting dark, a caravan passed by, and the caravan had just returned from outside the gate and had completed a transaction.

The goods of their carts were also turned into silver. Silver didn't need to take up a lot of space, so there were plenty of empty wagons in the caravan. Bai Chutian bought one.

Although the carriage had been found, Muchen still did not leave the small no shop.

The clouds in the sky gradually became denser, obscuring the moon and the stars.

Mu Chen leaned against the door alone and sighed, "It seems that today I don't want to talk about the stars, and the moon can't be seen."

Bai Chutian walked outside the door, looked up, and said, "It looks like it's going to rain."

Muchen said, "Fortunately, we didn't go, we are really lucky, otherwise we would have become soup chickens"

Bai Chutian said, "It's a pity that the reason why we can't go is not the weather, but General Zhang"

Mu Chen sighed.

Baili Xunsheng came out of the kitchen, saw the two people standing at the door, and said, "You'd better come in quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold, and you won't want to leave tomorrow."

So saying, he walked over to the table and lit the oil lamp.

The room was bright again.

Mu Chen entered the house, closed the door, sat down at the table, and said, "It seems that this autumn rain is more penetrating than spring."

It's autumn now, and the season of autumn rain has arrived.

Autumn rain is different from spring rain, spring rain with the wind into the night, moisturizing things silently, can make people feel comfortable and happy. The autumn rain often represents desolation and sorrow, or lovesickness and sorrow.

Tonight, is it bleak and sad? Or is it lovesickness?

In short, none of the feelings look good.

Gradually, the sound of rain sounded, as if complaining about grief and sadness, and as if the sorrow was endless.

This atmosphere is really depressing.

However, the people of this Ono store don't seem to be infected by this oppressive atmosphere.

Because in front of everyone, there was a sumptuous dinner.

It wasn't until Meloel put a pot of chicken soup in front of Zhang Qianzhong that she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, the dishes are all ready"

Baili Xunsheng said, "General Zhang is sick, drink some soup to make up for it first"

Zhang Qianzhong said, "Thank you"

The steaming chicken soup seems to have driven away all the cold and oppression, leaving only warmth and pleasure.

Mu Chen said, "I haven't seen you for so long, I'm going to cook"

Meloel said, "Brother Mu, have you forgotten what day it is?"

Mu Chen said, "What?"

Mellore said "Mid-Autumn Night"

Mu Chen suddenly woke up to the fact that today is August 15.

The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was supposed to be a day for family reunions, so everyone drank together and sang all night. But there are no relatives here.

Mu Chen's expression darkened, and he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his wife for a long time. How many months? He forgot about it.

Meloel continued, "Most of these dishes today are made by Shangguan girl."

Baili Xunsheng said, "Alas, if the Shangguan girl is willing to stay and cook in my small shop, there will not be so many people complaining that the food I cook is not delicious."

Shangguan Wuyi smiled, she rarely smiled.

Suddenly, Shangguan Wuyi sneezed, as if he had caught a cold.

Muchen said, "Put on the clothes I gave you, the farther west from here it gets, the colder it gets, and it's winter after that."

Shangguan Wuyi didn't answer Mu Chen's words, but just put on Mu Chen's clothes that were placed aside.

Baili Xunsheng smiled and said, "The Mid-Autumn Festival night should be a day for family reunions, but we don't have relatives here, but it doesn't matter, we still have friends"

Yes, and friends.

Friends are indeed important, especially at times like these, and friends will make you feel warm.

The corners of Zhang Qianzhong's mouth also raised.

Baili Xunsheng raised his glass and said, "Come, do it"

"Dry"

Recall the Mid-Autumn Festival osmanthus bush. The flower is in the cup, and the moon is in the cup. Tonight, there is a statue upstairs. Cloud wet screen, rain wet screen.

I want to ride the wind and ask the chemical industry. The road is not passable, and the letter is not passable. The hall is full of candles and red. Cup and calmly, singing calmly. - "A Cut of Plums, Mid-Autumn Festival without Moon"

What if there is no moon?

Cup and calmly, raise a glass as wine, treat wine as a song, and sing calmly.

The crowd had drunk enough.

Mu Chen's face also turned red, but no one left.

The sound of the rain continues.

Mu Chen said to Baili Xunsheng, "Baili senior, I admire you"

Baili Xunsheng smiled and said, "Admire me, admire me, what?"

Mu Chen said, "I admire you for leaving all your fame and fortune behind and opening a small shop here."

"If I had a choice, where would I want to open a store here?"

Bai Chutian said, "That Baili senior, with your ability, why do you want to open a store here?"

Mu Chen didn't speak, staring and listening to Baili Xunsheng.

Baili Xunsheng smiled bitterly, "You want to know?"

And all the people looked at him.

Baili Xunsheng said, "Okay, happy today, I'll say"

He paused and continued, "Do you know why I went to Shaolin alone many years ago?"

Mellore said, "It's for a woman"

The people of Tianjifang really know a lot.

Baili Xunsheng said, "Yes, it's just for a woman, and I came here to open a store for her."

He drank a glass of wine and continued, "I just debuted back then, and I wanted to make a name for myself in the rivers and lakes and become a hero admired by everyone."

Mu Chen said, "This is the dream of every hot-blooded man"

"But I have been breaking for fifteen years, fifteen years in the rivers and lakes, I have experienced a lot, the sinister hearts of the people, the heat and coldness of the world, I think I have eaten a lot of crying, I think I have done enough, but I am only for myself, but I forgot about the apricots"

Mu Chen said, "Are you just for her?"

Baili Xunsheng smiled bitterly, nodded, and continued, "I have been breaking for fifteen years, and she has waited for me for fifteen years, you should know what a big number fifteen years is for a woman."

Mu Chen nodded.

"Later, she finally didn't wait for me, she went to Mengshan'an to become a monk, I didn't agree, so I went to Mengshan'an to find her, she refused to go with me, I killed the two teachers in the nunnery in a rage, and then the Shaolin people took Xing'er away, I went to Shaolin to find her, at that time I was full of blood, no monk beat me, I thought I could take Xing'er away"

He sighed abruptly and said, "But then Abbot Huiqing came forward and stopped me, and let me see Xing'er."

At this he stopped, and he didn't continue.

Melauel was a little fascinated by this, and immediately said, "And then, she went with you?"

Baili Xunsheng smiled bitterly and said, "No, Xing'er rejected me personally, she said that she had already figured it out, her dust was broken, don't let me go to her"

The crowd was silent.

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny.

Not all stories have happy endings, because the ending of a story is not what the storyteller says.

Baili Xunsheng said, "That's why I came here to open a wild shop, I want to spend the rest of my life, and I have no interest in fame and fortune for a long time."

The crowd remained silent.

After a sad story is told, there are always people who want to say some feelings, but this story has too many regrets and too many regrets, and everyone doesn't know what to say for a while.

It was Baili Xunsheng who spoke first, and he smiled bitterly, "I have been escaping reality for so many years, and I now understand that sometimes as a man, you must choose to face it." And as a woman, you must choose a man who knows how to face and accept, and now I am left with empty sleeves, which is the greatest sorrow in my life"

Indeed, sometimes mistakes happen, in addition to regretting, we should think about how to face them, and if we want to face them, we must learn to accept them.

Baili Xunsheng stood up, staggered to his room, and sighed in a low voice as he walked, "The apricot blossoms are falling in the dry rain, and the heart is lovesick."

The rain is getting heavier and heavier.

Mu Chen lay alone on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

He's been thinking about how to survive.

Should he make a decision? To face Shangguan Wuyi's feelings? Should he also learn to accept it?

Now how he wished he could give himself an answer.

In the other room, Shangguan had no clothes and no sleep, lying alone on the bed.

What was she thinking? Mu Chen, or Lin Hongyue?

Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door.

It was wood dust, wood dust standing in the doorway.

Shangguan Wuyi saw Mu Chen's face, and his heart seemed to beat faster.

Mu Chen said softly, "I... Did you get the noise?"

Shangguan Wuyi said "No"

Mu Chen said, "Then can I go in and sit?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "It's late, let's go to sleep first"

Mu Chen said, "I just want to talk to you, maybe I can clear your misunderstanding of me, or my misunderstanding of you"

Shangguan Wuyi introduced the wood dust into the house, covered the door, and lit the lamp.

Her face looks even more beautiful in the light.

Mu Chen said, "Why do you want to follow me? You don't have to follow, you know that I will return to Xiangtian Sect sooner or later."

Shangguan Wuyi said, "Because I have no way out"

Mu Chen looked at her in surprise and said, "What do you mean?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "Actually, I know that you didn't do anything to my godmother, Miss Luo'er has already explained it to me very clearly."

Mu Chen said, "You believe me?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "I have to believe you, because I saw a tryst between my godmother and Lin Ji one night"

Mu Chen said, "Lin Ji?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "It's that day of marriage... The old man at the wedding, he is Lin Hongyue's uncle and Lin Hongyue's only elder"

Mu Chen said, "Lin Xiangtian's brother?"

Shangguan Wuyi said "Lin Xiangtian's godbrother"

Mu Chen obviously didn't intend to leave the topic on this old man, and said, "So you choose to believe me?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "Because I don't know who to trust anymore, my younger brother, godmother, Lin Hongyue, I suddenly found that among the people around me, only you are the most reliable"

Mu Chen said, "That's why you came out with me?"

Shangguan Wuyi said, "Maybe it's because I don't want to be with people who cheat on me all the time."

Mu Chen said, "Then how do you know that I'm not lying to you again?"

Shangguan Wuyi looked at him, his eyes flowed, and said, "I said, you are the one I trust relatively well."

Mu Chen didn't speak, he had nothing to say now.

Shangguan Wuyi was silent for a moment, and said, "You... Do you want me to marry Lin Hongyue?"
