Chapter 34: Urging Back
After dawn, he crept up, washed with cold water, and continued to meditate and practice until the heat came out of his body, and then he was full of energy, and Yanran also woke up.
The New Year's sun did not appear, and heavy snow began to fall outside. The four of them were idle, and they spent the whole day eating and drinking in the house. Yan Ran suddenly remembered the sneaky gift given to Tai Ran by the envoy of Chimelong that day, so she went to the carriage to find it and handed it to Tai Ran.
Calmly twisted his eyebrows, the bright congratulatory gift was not given to Xiao Xuan, but it was specially given to him, what kind of heart did he have?
The congratulatory gift was wrapped in a box with several layers of brown paper wrapped around it. Shi Jian couldn't help but be curious when he picked up the book, and took scissors to cut off the kraft paper, revealing the box inside. The three of them looked at Tairan with six eyes, hoping that he would open the box.
Calmly and cautiously lifted the lid, revealing a cloud of turquoise.
Yan Ran picked up the green ball and found that it was a man's long shirt.
See the green clothes again!
Yan Ran immediately understood the meaning, and laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight. The sword picked up the book and looked at Tairan, and secretly covered his mouth and laughed. Tairan snorted coldly, knowing that it was Minglang's kid who took the opportunity to take revenge on him, grabbed the green clothes and threw them out the door.
Yanran shouted, "Don't throw it away! Give it to the people of this village! "I went to pick it up again, so that the sword remembered to give it away when he left.
By evening, the snow had stopped, and the sky and the earth were silvery white. Yanran is clamoring to find plum blossoms. "When I came back yesterday, I saw a wild plum tree on the west side of the village," she said. It must have been in full bloom at this time. In the snow, Mei Bingzi is snowy, it's a pity to miss it! ”
Calmly put a cloak on her, and the two walked on the snow, leaving four clear footprints in the snow. After a while, I passed through the village, and sure enough, there was a plum tree more than one person tall at the west end of the village, and the tree was full of plum blossoms. The rose-red petals reflect the white snow, which is exceptionally clean and beautiful, and the fragrance floats in the breeze.
Yan Ran admired the plum tree for a long time, and said, "When I was in the palace before, my mother always picked red plums in winter and inserted them in white porcelain vases......"
At this time, she talked about the past for the first time, and talked about her mother. Calmly knowing, this is not easy. She'd been running away from the past, trying to forget it all, and now, she'd finally stopped and looked back.
"Are you thinking about your mother?" He finally knew why she had to come to enjoy the plums.
"Nope!" She immediately denied it. This place, at this time, is not suitable for her to dwell too much on memories. calmly understood, patted her on the back, and didn't ask any more.
Yanran was only willing to break three or two plum branches, "It will also hurt, and if it is broken too much, it will not love her, but hurt her." When I got home, I found an old bowl of water and put a plum branch into it. Sure enough, the whole room felt elegant.
The four of them spent a peaceful and happy year in Wanqing Village. On the afternoon of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they began to clean up the carriage, pack their luggage, and prepare to leave on the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
The two calm Dark Guards Wind and Frost suddenly came in.
They brought a message from Princess Yi: The king is sick, return quickly.
This is the first time that Princess Yi has conveyed a message in the six years since she left the palace calmly.
Calmly sat on the stool, silent for a long time.
The father is sick, and he is so sick that he wants his eldest son, who has been wandering, to go back, either because his illness is not light, or because the situation in the court has changed, and even Princess Yi, who has always been pure and inactive, can't sit still.
But how could he leave now? I just dissected my heart with Yanran, and I just said that I would never be separated, but fate once again showed its ruthlessness.
Yan Ran silently lit an oil lamp and put it on the table, snuggled him and sat down. is also full of sadness.
"Come back with me!" He looked at her with great poise. As long as she is willing to follow him, then everything is not a problem.
Yanran shook her head: "You obviously know that it is impossible for me to go back...... At least not yet. ”
He bowed his head calmly, and he knew that she would not agree. Moreover, there is no reason to persuade her.
After thinking about it, he said to Yanran: "Our plan remains the same, we will set off for Huangzhou tomorrow." He said lightly to the second guard of wind and frost: "Wait for me to think about it for a few days." ”
Of course, there can be no objection to the second bathroom.
At night, Yanran snuggled tightly to his chest, coveting the warmth of these extra days. She knew that he was stalling and wanted to be by her side for a few more days. At most, when he reaches Huangzhou, he will definitely go back.
On the sixth day of the first month, calmly handed back the key to the young woman, and the four of them drove the carriage still to the west, accompanied by the two guards on horseback.
Along the way, Tairan Yanran never mentioned the parting, and calmly transmitted her skills to Yanran every day, wanting her to take her phaseless heart skills to the next level, and also spent a lot of time instructing the sword to pick up books and practice hidden weapon kung fu. Shi Jian and Shishu have followed him for five or six years, and now the two of them have been quite pure in their finger and object skills, and if they encounter an enemy situation, they can help her.
Yan Ran bought needlework and thread and a small piece of white satin cloth and tassels of various colors in the town on the way. She picked up the needle and thread, first embroidered a few pink plum blossoms on the fabric, sewed it into a sachet, attached it to the tassels, filled it with poison-ward and soothing herbs, and hung it around his waist.
Tai Ran has always had nothing but a sword on his body. But he liked this sachet very much.
Seven days later, they arrived at Luofengpo on the outskirts of Huangzhou.
The second wave of people urging him to return to China also arrived at this time, and it was the rain and snow Erwei. What I brought was still a message from Princess Yi: The king is very ill, return quickly!
The situation has reached a point where it cannot be delayed.
Before falling on the Fengpo slope, calmly and Yanran held hands opposite each other.
"I'm afraid it's not easy to see what is clear. If you want to help him, you must look out for your own safety first. ”
"Hmm."
"You have accumulated a lot of my internal strength in your body, practice diligently every day, and turn it into your own, your unphased light skills will have a leap, and there will be very few people in the rivers and lakes who can catch up with you. Remember to run if you can't beat it. ”
"Hmm."
"The sword will be by your side, and if you have any problems, they will contact me. I'll take care of all the business as soon as I get back and come to see you. ”
"Hmm."
"Also, don't get too close to that kid Minglang......" he was a little embarrassed and a little embarrassed, "I'll be jealous!" ”
Yan Ran finally smiled: "Okay! ”
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" He chattered for a long time, and she kept mmmmmmmmmmm
Yanran sighed: "Of course I have something to say, but you keep nagging, I don't have a chance to say it." ”
Tairan quickly shut up and looked at her. She took out a silver hairpin from her arms: "Remember?" ”
It was bought for her on Chinese New Year's Eve when they visited Sheqiao Town. She kept it by her side after that and never put it on.
"You stick it in my head."
Calmly took the hairpin and carefully inserted her left sideburns. She has always disliked decoration, and this hairpin just sets off her smart and luxurious spirit in addition to her simplicity.
stared at her calmly: "My Yanran is the best-looking." ”
Yanran said: "After you leave, I will wear it every day until you return to me." ”
Reaching out her hand, she grabbed him by the waist and found that his waist seemed to be thinner, thinner than when he was injured.
"I'll miss you every day. Remember to take care of your body so that you can take care of me for the rest of my life. ”
calmly hugged her: "Remember the covenant of Red Leaf Peak: Wait for you and I to settle the things that should be done, pay off the debts that should be repaid, stay away from the red dust together, and go to the mountains to live in seclusion." ”
Yanran nodded: "I never forget!" ”
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and the wind, frost, rain and snow guards rode over, leading a white horse that had just been bought. The four men pulled the reins of their horses, and the horses stopped with a neigh.
Calmly finally let go of his hand, stepped back step by step, and retreated to the horse, only to retract his gaze from staring at Yanran, gritted his teeth, and turned over on the horse.
Yan Ran's eyes blurred.
It was as if he had seen him wave his hand to herself, and when she wiped away her tears, the horse was gone, and she saw the person on the horse fluttering in white clothes, farther and farther away, becoming a small dot.
Yan Ran rushed forward a few steps, waved vigorously at his back, and shouted, "Brother! ”
