Chapter 15: The Origin of the White Peak (Part II)
After entering Shudi, it became warmer and warmer day by day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Dou Xin counted the days, and now it is almost the moon, and he has never seen a single snow, and he can still see some trees with green leaves on the road these days. I don't know if it's because it's too warm or because of fatigue, Dou Xin can't wake up every day.
Guanlanjun never woke up. Dou Xin often dreams, and many times, Guanlan Jun's childhood memories were directly poured into Dou Xin's dreams. In his dream, Dou Xin knew that the palace on Tianlan Mountain was Tianlan Palace, a fairyland-like place isolated from the world. The person who appears most often in Guanlanjun's memories is Yishanjun, the unsmiling and gentle and careful senior brother. Guanlan Jun's master has passed his old age, and his body is declining, so Guanlan Jun's swordsmanship is mostly due to his senior brother Yishanjun.
Whether it is in the hot and hot afternoon, or in the rainy night with thunder and lightning, whether it is on the top of the towering Tianlan Mountain, or in the acacia forest at the foot of the mountain, wherever Guanlan Jun practices his sword, there will be Yishan Jun with him. Different from reality, in the dream, it was Dou Xin who borrowed Guanlan Jun's eyes to look at the world thousands of years ago. Every time Yishanjun held Guanlanjun's hand and practiced the sword together, Dou Xin could feel the temperature of that hand. Every time Guanlanjun failed to memorize the sword book, Yishanjun would beat Guanlanjun's hands red and swollen with a slender board. With Guanlan Jun's memory, Dou Xin became familiar with every grass and tree in Tianlan Mountain, and even memorized every move and style in the sword spectrum. As Guanlanjun grew up in his dream, Dou Xin's dream became more and more blurred. Tianlan Palace became more and more distant, Yishanjun gradually disappeared into the dream, in a recent dream, Dou Xin saw a woman in a flaming red dress gradually drifting away, while Guanlanjun was paralyzed in Yishanjun's arms and closed his eyes. Dou Xin couldn't see what was going on in that world, only the distant sound of the flute, mixed with the chaotic sound of thousands of troops.
Dou Xin woke up in a trance on horseback, and Yishanjun's expression still stayed in Dou Xin's eyes. Is that expression panicked, sad, or remorseful? Why did Guanlan-kun's death make Yishan-kun show that kind of expression? According to the change in Yishanjun's appearance in the dream, Guanlanjun's memory has been blank for at least ten years, what happened during that time? What made Guanlanjun's last memory fragmented?
Dou Xin even began to get attached to the feeling of drowsiness, as the dream led her step by step to the dusty mystery of a thousand years ago, and she wanted to know what this mystery was.
Half-asleep and half-awake, the four of them had already arrived at the foot of the Sandfly Peak. Sandfly Peak is as warm as the weather has just begun in autumn, and the woods on the mountain are buzzing with mosquito-sized insects. sat in front and let Dou Xin sleep on his shoulder, and also helped Dou Xin block most of the insects. Gui Ning and Du Yuan got off their horses early in the morning and explored their way in the forest.
"This year, the climate is hot for no reason, and two of the three villages below the Frostfly Peak have suffered from the plague and are not suitable for staying overnight, so we will go to the westernmost Baixi village to avoid being implicated." Du Yuan discussed with Guining Pathfinder, but he had no opinion, turned around and saw that Dou Xin was still asleep, and he was not disturbed.
Du Yuan let Dou Xin get on the horse for a while, but he was quite unhappy to see Dou Xin sleeping behind him all day long. "Girl, come down and take a walk, what do you sleep like all day!" Du Yuan tugged at Dou Xin's sleeve. Dou Xin didn't wake up, but he was pulled out of balance. Du Yuan was about to reach out to pick it up when he saw the situation, but he was taken a step faster, and he straightened Dou Xin's body first, and leaned on his shoulder again.
Gui Ning came over and found that Dou Xin had been bitten with a large string of red envelopes on his neck, and half of his neck was covered by dense blisters. "Monk, what's going on?" When he turned around, he raised his hand to touch Dou Xin's forehead, which was already hot.
"There is a sandfly plague on this mountain, if this sandfly has a plague on its body, it will be troublesome, monk, why don't you look at it!" Du Yuan complained, "Hurry up to Baixi Village and find a Lang Zhong to see." ”
Gui Ning hesitated for a moment and stopped Du Yuan. "Big brother, if the little sister-in-law is infected with the plague, it will be delayed for a while. We left the monk behind, and the two of us went to the post station first, so we couldn't delay going to Tianshan. Brother will send a decent Lang Zhong when the time comes. ”
"What is this like, Xin Yatou is still waiting to go up the mountain to reunite with Kuzen Lao'er, let's throw her here, how can we explain to Kuzen." Du Yuan turned around and got on his horse, urging him to hurry up.
He held Dou Xin, then carefully dismounted from the horse, let Dou Xin lie on the horse's back, and walked under the horse by himself by grabbing the reins. Dou Xin listened to Gui Ning walking away in a daze, and barely opened his eyes. "Let the worm in your hand go, lest it bite you." Dou Xin said in a weak voice.
"When you get to the station, you'll know the beauty of these bugs. Rest assured, these sandflies are not plague-free. It's just that you have some wind chill because the weather has suddenly warmed up, so I can go to the village and find you some medicine for wind cold. A hand reached into the baggage, and then fastened the baggage tightly.
Dou Xin's whole body was sore, and the itching on his neck was unbearable, so he couldn't stop reaching out to relieve the itch, and stopped Dou Xin several times, but the blisters on Dou Xin's neck had been scratched several times. Before dark, the four of them had already arrived at the entrance of the village. When the people in the village saw that someone was coming, they hurriedly stopped at the gate of the village.
He explained unhurriedly that they were just spending the night and would be able to leave tomorrow. The villagers looked at the four people with hostility all the time, and did not listen to an explanation at all. Seeing the resolute attitude of the villagers, Du Yuan was so angry that he snatched the reins in his hand and turned around and left. "Monk, don't talk nonsense with them, we won't stop tonight, we must rush to the post station before tomorrow night and give Xin Yatou a good look."
"Stop, I see this girl as if she had been bitten by a sandfly. I will give you some ointment to heal the wound of her neck, and if she is infected with pestilence, I advise you that it is better to keep her and let us deal with it, so that you may not be troubled. The village chief sent the silly girl from the village to come out of the village gate and handed Du Yuan the ointment. The silly girl jumped up and ran in front of Du Yuan, staring at Dou Xin curiously. Dou Xin looked at the silly girl and looked at herself crying and laughing, and had some doubts in her heart. The silly girl is a Peugeot girl, so subtle that it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a sinking fish and a goose, but it is a pity that she is a fool. Dou Xin seemed to have seen this in his memory, but he really couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.
Du Yuan held his breath and said thank you, and snatched the medicine from the stupid girl's hand. The silly girl stared at Dou Xin stupidly, seeing that Dou Xin didn't say a word, her expression became more and more aggrieved, and she was so anxious that she couldn't say a word, so she ran back to the village crying. Seeing Dou Xin's horse go away, the people gathered at the entrance of the village gradually dispersed, leaving only two people to keep vigil. The stupid girl squatted at the entrance of the village and refused to leave, and others ignored her, crying for most of the day before she vaguely said a sentence: "Mother, why do you ignore me...... I'm very well-behaved...... Mother, I want to ride a big horse too......" A night watchman looked at the silly girl and shook his head. "If it weren't for a crazy girl, this girl wouldn't be so stupid." "Look at this girl, I've never seen me cry like I did today." "In the days when the crazy woman was lost, she also cried for a while, silly girl, and looked forward to her crazy mother coming back every day. Alas! I'll send her home, and you'll keep an eye on me for a while. "Come back soon! They came to stir up trouble again. ”
As soon as the night fell, there were no fingers in the whole forest, and there was no way to hurry. After Dou Xin applied the ointment, he felt less itchy, but he still had chills on his body.
"Big brother, you were sent to the countryside by your father when you were a child, have you ever had an epidemic there?" Gui Ning brought a large handful of firewood and chatted with Du Yuan.
"There were people in the nearby village who were driven out of the village by the plague, and in the end they were all left to fend for themselves, and those who ran back were burned. Our village is similar to Baixi Village, and there are people left at the entrance of the village, preventing outsiders from running in every day. Du Yuan recalled.
helped Dou Xin to the side behind the tree and let Dou Xin hide in the shadow of the tree. The place where the four people stopped was not far from Baixi Village, and the chickens and dogs in the village could still be heard for seven or eight minutes. Just after the hour, there was a commotion from Baixi Village. Du Yuan and Dou Xin slept deeply, and as soon as Guining was awakened, he quietly sneaked over to find out.
