Chapter 13: Recognition

"Then I suddenly lost all your information, and the four guards around me finally found out that you had been captured by a gang of human traffickers and might be sold to the mountains. I was in a hurry to catch up, but because it had been almost a month, it was particularly difficult to track, so I didn't go fast enough. When I tried my best to get to the Baling Mountains, I was ambushed by human traffickers. This is a large-scale multinational gang with a lot of scum in it. I lost three of my bodyguards in the fight, and we killed almost all of the stalwarts of the gang. However, I still can't find you.

"Just when I was desperate, an old woman in charge of cooking and laundry in the gang pointed out to me, saying that you escaped three days ago, and asked me to look for you at the bottom of the cliff.

"I rushed here covered in blood, and on this tree, I saw you with the same bloody flesh and blood......"

Minglang was completely stunned, and Ah Cuo was already crying so much that he couldn't speak.

She never thought that behind her, he had been chasing her, calling her, never thinking that he had suffered more for her than her, and by no means less than her...... At that moment, she suddenly felt a little selfish...... Very selfish.

But the corpse wasn't her!

Tai Gongzi had tears in his eyes, but the more he spoke, the calmer he became:

"I sat here for two days with you in my arms, and I just wanted to follow you. Only I know in this world that even if you have tasted the hardships of the world, you are still just a little girl who is afraid of the dark and lonely. I can't leave you alone underground......

"Later, the last guard knocked me unconscious, carried me to a cave in the White Tiger Peak, and carried you up." He pointed to the mountain across the cliff, "Let's go, you should go and see." ”

Tai Gongzi led the way, Ah Cuo and Minglang and Xiao Wow followed, and soon after going up the mountain, they walked up a section of white stone steps, and after climbing hundreds of steps, Tai Gongzi clapped his hands, and two eleven or twelve-year-old boys flew down from the mountain, one holding a lantern in his hand.

"This is a wine servant, this is a book picking." Tai Gongzi introduced. The two boys greeted them with a grin, and turned to lead the way. Minglang wondered in his heart: Living in the mountains, he is so particular, it seems that Tai Gongzi is quite unusual.

After a while, they came to a wide platform, and at one end of the platform was the entrance of the cave, which was chiseled into the shape of the moon cave door, and the door was written with three vigorous characters of "Siguo Cave". Both sides of the door are covered with wildflowers.

"You've been living here all these years?" Ah asked wrongly. Tai Gongzi nodded: "Exactly!" ”

He pointed to the pavilion at the other end of the platform and said, this is the Yanran Pavilion.

Yanran Pavilion!

Ah Cuo walked towards the pavilion. The gazebo is large, and under the gazebo is a lonely tomb. There are simple stone benches and tables around the lonely tomb, all of which have been polished to a shiny light. Presumably he would sit here every day, drinking and chatting with the people under the Nine Springs, just like when he was a child.

Ah Cuo's eyes blurred again.

Tai Gongzi sat down on the stone bench. "When I woke up, I buried you here. I will stay here and be with you every day. ”

"You know, when I was in the palace, I loved martial arts. After I came here, every day in addition to practicing, I just sat here and drank and talked to you. A year later, I found a body and a secret book from a side hole, and according to the secret note, the dead man was actually Huang Daozi, one of the Taoists of the previous generation of Baling Shrine. I took his secrets, and I recognized him as a teacher, and collected his bones for him. ”

No wonder his martial arts are so high, it turns out that there are adventures. Bright thought.

"In five years, I've only been down the mountain many times, because I can't leave you here alone. I hate the world, I hate fate, so I rarely laughed in the past four years. I miss you, and I can't bear you, so I wear only white clothes for you. I am with you every day, and I torture myself every day. He lifted his sleeve, revealing the shocking scars on his arms: "I am also trying to escape from the past, desperately trying to forget everything, and when I can't forget, I will cut it here, and cover the pain in my heart with blood and pain......"

"Brother!" The scars had finally shattered all her disguises and disguises. His pain, his sorrow, and his injury all made her feel painful, and she saw her own selfishness and weakness. Because, she is his biggest pain! She cried out the name she hadn't uttered in six years and threw herself into his arms.

Xie Tairan hugged this body tightly, hugged this sister who had suffered so much and was now lost, and tears fell on her shoulders drop by drop: "Yanran, as long as you are willing to recognize me, everything is worth it!" I've already lost you once, can't lose again, I'm really going to die! ”

Yanran cried so much that she couldn't speak. Those despairs, fears, loneliness, grievances, pent-up for six years, have formed a thick cocoon, and now they are completely broken in his bloody memories, pouring out like a bank in tears. She can finally face the past and see herself, it turns out that she is not lonely, it turns out that she still has a calm brother.

Minglang next to him couldn't help wiping his tears, his heart was full of emotion, he wanted to do something when he was moved, and he turned around and hugged Xiao Wow.

Xiao Wow whined dissatisfied, and complained silently in his heart: "What do you mean by being so intimate with me?" ”

The two of them easily collected their tears, Xie Tairan's pale face was bloody, and his eyes were also bright. He felt that the empty piece of his heart was now finally full.

Yan Ran sniffled, was rescued after falling off a cliff, and told Tairan about the experience of studying medicine in the shrine one by one. After hearing this, he sighed: "Presumably, the Daoist of the Divine Palace is afraid that the thieves will come down the mountain to inspect, if you don't see the dead and the corpse, you will definitely be entangled, so I replaced you with the body of a person who unfortunately fell off the cliff." He gently patted the green bricks on the tomb, and said: "No matter who she is, thank her, without her, there would be no five years of seclusion for me, and there would be no chance to reunite with you. ”

Minglang couldn't help coughing and muttered, "Girl, you are actually the princess of Yuezhaoguo?" ”

Yanran said: "It's just the past, and now I'm wandering, where are there any princesses and grandchildren." ”

Said calmly and lovingly: "I will not drift in the future, I will be by your side." ”

Minglang's heart suddenly soured. I used to think that Ah Wrong girl was his alone, but now it doesn't seem to be, she has a brother...... So, what is he in her heart?

He wanted to know, but he didn't dare ask.

Before they knew it, it was midnight, and the squire and the book came to urge them to eat, and the three of them felt hungry. Fighting in the morning, rescuing people, rushing at noon, reminiscing, crying, and recognizing each other at night, until now, the three of them have not entered the water and rice, and they are hungry fiercely.

So I entered the cave and saw that the cave was very wide, and the walls of the cave were embedded with white stones, which was very clean and tidy. There are also five or six inner holes in the inside, which are used for bedrooms and kitchens, and one of the caves even has a hot spring bath. On the top of each inner cave hangs a candlestick, illuminating the cave as if it were daylight. Ming Lang sighed: "Where is the cave, it is clearly the fairy cave!" ”

smiled calmly: "My mother has a lot of help in private." In fact, apart from these decorations in the cave, there are not many other uses......"

The cooking methods of the two boys are quite good, and they have made five or six exquisite side dishes, and a pot of japonica rice porridge is boiled thickly. Meat bones are also prepared for Xiao Wow. After the meal, Tai Ran naturally talked with Yan Ran by candle, and Minglang and Xiao Wow went to sleep.

Tai Ran told her that since she escaped from the palace, although her father Xie Zhenyu was angry, he did not send anyone to follow him, maybe he felt that since his darkest side had been seen by Yan Ran, he must have lost her respect and love, and it was better not to see it. He named Princess Yi as Concubine Yi and immediately married two new concubines. A year later, Tairan sent the news of Yanran's tragic death to the palace, and made it clear that he would accompany Yanran and not return to the palace. Xie Zhenfu sat in Princess Ji's house for a day, and finally ordered someone to build a tomb for Yanran in the Xie family's mausoleum. After that, I did not inquire about him any more. At this time, he had two more one-year-old sons. Concubine Yi was already like a dry well, and she didn't care about her son's affairs, so she only asked someone to send some money and things over regularly.

Yan Ran wandered all the way after escaping from the palace, endured many hardships, and finally escaped from the hands of human traffickers, and finally fell into the cliff to tell Tairan, in fact, every experience is consistent with Tairan's judgment. Although the matter has long passed, listening to her narrate it bit by bit still makes him feel irrepressible grief. I also talked about my life of studying medicine in Jingu Mountain for five years. He took her hand and sighed.

The endless past, the endless joys and sorrows, until late at night, calmly had to rush Yanran to bed to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yan Ran got up as usual to practice the non-phase heart method, calmly danced the sword on the platform outside the cave, and Minglang punched a box. Lord Xiao Wow found that he had no sense of existence if he didn't do something, so he practiced his voice in the direction of the Broken Intestine Cliff: "Wow-" sounded, and the mountain returned to the valley, which was quite amazing. As soon as he finished shouting, the elk crawled to the platform. It's just a little wow, and the adults have another task to explain. Xiao Wow felt helpless, so he had to stop practicing his voice and take the elk for a walk.

The three of them practiced hot, took a bath in the hot spring in the cave, and Minglang took out his clothes and changed them for the two of them, and they were all dressed in white and fluttering, full of fairy energy. Yanran was very happy, but Minglang was a little embarrassed, he liked to be free-spirited, not fairy-style. Tairan is a flying immortal in the sky, and he is a fierce horse on the earth. But unless he ran naked, he had no choice, his clothes yesterday were already in tatters, and he was thrown away calmly.

After breakfast, Tai Ran used a sword to cut off the three words "Yan Ran Pavilion" on the pavilion, and after a while, the two boys of the sword and the book each carried a big burden out, Yan Ran was strange, and said with a smile: "Since I found you, I won't live here, so I naturally follow you to the Flower Hall." ”

Yanran was very happy, but Minglang was even more depressed: the world of two people and one dog seemed to be a thing of the past. But! He's not ready!
