However, what Xiao Ran didn't expect was that the next day would become the day when he and Xilan were separated. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

An old lady from Xizhao came to the Taoist temple early in the morning and indicated that she wanted to see Xilan, and when she saw Xilan, she knew that this was the child she was looking for, and when Xilan saw that the woman had the same blue eyes as herself, she immediately understood that she must be related to her......

"Child, I am your grandmother." The woman was quite emotional.

One sentence made Xilan's heart suddenly confused, after all, she had been an orphan for sixteen years.

The following morning, Xilan's grandmother told her the story of her biological parents.

The Ruan family is a well-known wealthy merchant family, and in Xilan's mother's generation, Old Man Ruan has only one daughter, who is simply cherished in the palm of his hand.

However, one day, a well-traveled luthier came to Xizhao and played the piano on the street to earn some coils, when Xilan's mother's carriage happened to pass by, and she heard the excellent sound of the piano, so she lifted the curtain and looked out, and it was this glance that changed her life.

Xilan's mother was attracted by the sound of the luthier and his handsome appearance, and soon fell in love with him. She went to listen to him play the piano every day, asked her for piano skills, and after getting acquainted, she even treated her to play around in Xizhao. And the pianist gradually fell in love with this innocent girl.

Finally one day, the two complained to each other and quickly fell in love. However, this matter was known to Xilan's maternal grandfather, and he was furious, how could the eldest daughter of his Ruan family be with a pianist? Those luthiers who play the piano in the palace still think that they are tools for people to have fun, not to mention that this luthier is still playing the piano on the street, and he is poor and has nothing.

However, Xilan's mother also stubbornly refused to give up, even if she was locked up by her grandfather and fasted, she did not give in, Xilan's grandmother really couldn't stand it, and secretly let her daughter slip away, so she eloped with the piano master.

They fled to Yunlang Country, where the folk customs were integrated, and they would not be easily found by Xilan's grandfather, so they soon took root in a small village in Yunlang Country.

However, Xilan's father is destined to love to drift, he gradually can't bear this kind of too stable and regular life, he wants to travel and collect wind as before, he feels that this kind of life, his piano skills have gradually become decadent and boring, and finally one day he left a letter to leave, the letter said that he went to other countries to collect style, and he will come back when he has inspiration.

Xilan's mother felt unwell early that morning and went to see the doctor by herself, and the doctor checked the pulse but congratulated: "You are happy." She rushed home excitedly and immediately wanted to tell her husband, but what was waiting for her at home was a cold letter. After reading the letter, she went out to look for him frantically but to no avail, and finally had to accept this fact, she told herself that she could not think wildly, let alone run around, because she already had his flesh and blood in her belly, and she wanted to give birth to the child in good health and wait for him to come back.

In this way, she stayed up alone on her stomach for more than nine months, but waited for the bad news that her husband had died in a foreign land, and she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen under the grief, and she was about to give birth. The eldest lady next door heard the sound and hurried to help deliver the baby, but due to the pain and despair in her heart, she could not give birth to Xilan, and she died before she could see her child.

And the moment Xilan was born, a dazzling blue light flew into Xilan's house from the window, and after the light disappeared, a guqin appeared on the originally empty table.

Seeing this, the neighbor's eldest mother found someone to bury Xilan's mother together, but the eldest mother's family was very poor, and it was very difficult for her to raise a few children, so she had no choice but to send her away. After thinking about it, she decided to send it to the Taoist temple, where the Taoist chief was benevolent and wise, and the piano, the eldest mother naturally didn't know that it was the ancient famous piano "crossing", she just thought that since it appeared when the child was born, she was afraid that it was fate, so she sent it over together.

After a few years, Xilan's maternal grandfather figured out to forgive her mother, and heard that Xilan's mother should be in Yunlang country, so he sent someone to take their family back to Xizhao, but after several tosses and turns in Yunlang, he found the home of the eldest lady back then, only to learn that his daughter had died more than ten years ago, and the old man Ruan fell ill in bed with remorse and grief.

"Child, come back to Xizhao with me, I didn't take good care of your mother, let me take good care of you in the future, my poor child." At the mention of her dead daughter, the old lady couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xilan, who has dreamed countless times that he can also have a family, hesitated this time. She thought back to the bits and pieces she had been with Xiao Ran in the past few years, and remembered what he said to herself yesterday, the people in front of her were her relatives, yes, but Xiao Ran had already been an indispensable part of her life over the years, how could she be willing to leave him......

Xiao Ran knew that Xilan's grandmother had come to look for her, he came to the Taoist temple, and saw the old lady holding Xilan's hand tightly, he suddenly had a feeling that he was about to lose Xilan, and silently lowered his head.

I don't know how long later, Xilan noticed Xiao Ran's arrival, she came over and took Xiao Ran's hand and told him: "I have decided, I will not leave, I want to be with you." ”

At that moment, Xiao Ran was so moved that he just wanted to hug Xilan tightly. But his eyes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes when Xilan was eager to find his relatives, how much Xilan wanted to have a warm home for so many years, with the love of his parents, he understands, now for his own sake, Xilan has to give up the family at his fingertips? Thinking of the noblewoman who was gorgeously dressed and spoke elegantly, and then thought about her family background, which was not wealthy, "Isn't it too selfish to let her stay?" ”

After going back and struggling for a night, Xiao Ran found Xilan again the next day, "You follow your grandmother back to Xizhao." ”

Xilan didn't understand why Xiao Ran's attitude changed so quickly overnight, and she looked at Xiao Ran in surprise.

"I'm going to practice archery with Master. Becoming the greatest archer has been my dream since I was a child, and I have no intention of practicing it if you are there. What I said to you that day was entirely out of sympathy for you, you forget it. Xiao Ran's tone was a little indifferent, and he ignored Xilan's expression and turned around and left directly.

In fact, he was afraid that if he looked at Xilan's eyes more, even if he looked at her for a while, he would not let her go.

In the end, Xilan decided to leave her grandmother. In the afternoon of the same day, Xilan simply packed his package, said goodbye to everyone in the Taoist temple, and then set off. When he walked out of the gate of the Taoist temple, Xilan glanced in the direction of Xiao Ran's village, "He still hasn't come to see him off." ”

In fact, Xiao Ran hid behind a big tree early, and if she didn't show up, she was afraid that she would be reluctant. Looking at her distant back, Xiao Ran thought silently: "When I become strong enough, I will definitely go to Xizhao to ask you for marriage." ”

In the days when Xilan left, Xiao Ran worked harder to improve himself, searched for famous teachers, practiced archery hard, and finally one day three years later, he was recognized by the whole Yunlang country and was selected as the inheritance watchman by one of the oldest temples in Yunlang. This temple is next to the village where Xiao Ran lives, and it was built to suppress and seal an ancient abyss, and in the dark abyss is countless demons and evil spirits. Only the most outstanding warriors of Yunlang Country are qualified to become temple watchmen, and at the same time, Xiao Ran also took over the ancient divine arrows from the old host of the temple - "Forgiveness".

When Xiao Ran returned to the village that day, there was a familiar figure standing in front of the house that he didn't dare to recognize, and when the figure turned around, he finally saw the face that he had missed every day for the past three years, the bow and arrow in his hand fell to the ground, and he strode to hug her, and he was unwilling to let go again.

"You're back."
