After dinner, Ling Yi usually waited two more hours before going to bed, and during this time, she spent most of her time reading books.

Zhi Yu picked out the wick a little brighter, and persuaded: "Miss, the hour is not early, it is better to rest, this light is too dim, it is not good for the eyes." ”

Ling Yi was fascinated by it, and she didn't hear it at all, but the weaving fan suddenly walked in from outside, "Miss, Miss Bai Er has asked someone to pass the word." ”

Ling Yi's eyes quickly lifted from the book and asked, "Is Sydney coming?" Let her come in and talk. He put down the book.

Weaving the fan said, turned around and lifted the curtain to let Sydney into the house.

"The maid has seen the eldest lady, and the second lady asked the maid to come, and I have a few words to convey to you." Sydney said respectfully.

"How is everything going with the hairpin?" Ling Yi said with concern. Bai Miaojian hadn't given an answer for so long, and now it was so late that she let her maid tell her that her choice must have been hit or stimulated by something.

Sydney didn't know the real reason why Bai Miaoqi was sad, but said that the latter was sick and had a bad complexion.

Ling Yi didn't have to guess to know that Bai Miaoqi was a heart disease, so he asked, "What did you want to say?" ”

According to her memories, Sydney told Ling Yi word for word what Bai Miaoqi told her, "The second lady said, 'If I had a choice, I would rather have nothing to do with him, even if there was no result in the end, at least I had hope, and now this deep despair has tormented me in my heart, and he will leave tomorrow." ’”

After she finished speaking, she silently read it a few more times, and after making sure that she didn't leave anything behind, she continued: "Second Miss finally said. If the eldest lady has any idea, the second lady will come to see you early tomorrow morning. ”

Ling Yi snorted, "I see." You go back, so that she doesn't have to come over tomorrow, and don't worry, I have my own way. ”

Sydney should be, so she took Ling Yi's words back to Baifu.

After Bai Miaojian heard this, although she didn't show anything on her face, she was very anxious in her heart. Tomorrow Bai Lang is going up the mountain, what is the method that Ling Yi said?

Thinking about something, she didn't sleep all night. I got up early the next day, thinking that Bai Lang had said yesterday that I was going up the mountain today, so I went straight to the dining room.

Bai Shuheng and Wang were having breakfast when they saw her running over in a hurry. Wang hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Hairpin." Why are you up, didn't I have the food delivered to your room? Does your stomach still hurt? ”

Bai Miaojian didn't see Bai Lang and asked, "What about the eldest brother?" Why didn't you see Big Brother? As he spoke, he walked over to Wang's side and sat down.

Wang ordered someone to add more dishes and chopsticks, and said: "Your eldest brother talked to your father last night, and he said that he wanted to go out and break through, and Master Shanzhi also mentioned earlier that he wanted to take your eldest brother out to travel, and it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books." Your father agreed, and I didn't object. I packed my things last night and went up the mountain overnight. ”

Saying that, he sighed again, and his tone was very reluctant, "This time, I don't know when I will come back, you are about to get married again, hey--parents, there will always be such a day, watching your children leave you, you are growing up day by day, but we are getting old day by day." ”

Bai Shuheng blamed: "It's a good thing for my son to go out to travel, this family can't trap him for a lifetime." Mothers and Lost Children—"

Wang glared at him, "When you sent Cunjin up the mountain, you said the same, but when Cunjin came back, he didn't know us anymore, and it took me more than half a year to get Cunjin close to us, and Father Yan didn't do that." ”

"I-" Bai Shuheng was speechless for a while, and seeing Bai Miao's sluggish expression, he said worriedly: "Hairpin, are you still uncomfortable, why don't you go back and lie down first, what do you like to eat, I will ask your mother to cook it for you." ”

"If you don't say I'll do it." Wang blocked him, and seeing that Bai Miao's hairpin really looked bad, he hurriedly said: "Hairpin, go back and rest, you are worried about death like this." ”

Bai Miaoqi got up in a daze, and instinctively walked towards his room, but his mind kept thinking about Wang's words, Bai Lang left, he left last night, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to himself, he just left, he hadn't even made a reasonable explanation for what happened that night.

"What if you admit your mistake? I won't forgive you, no. Back in the house, Bai Miaojian sent Sydney out, covering the quilt and crying quietly.

This feeling, how can she be embarrassed, even the sadness is not spoken, even crying dare not cry freely, everything is so unseemly, what are you still clinging to, everyone is gone, now, but it is really quiet.

But said that Bai Lang caught up with Yonghua Mountain overnight, this is the first time he came to Yonghua Mountain after he went down the mountain, the temple on the top of the mountain is still the same, but the traces carved by the years on the wall are heavier, and the people in the temple have also changed, only Master Shanzhi is still there, as always, with a kind smile.

"The student has seen the master." Bai Lang put down his luggage and stepped forward, respectfully blessing.

Master Shanzhi recognized him at a glance, his eyes were full of kindness, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he broke his mind: "I came up the mountain in such a hurry, I didn't have time to write a letter to tell me, did you encounter something difficult to penetrate?" ”

Although many years have passed, Bai Lang still has no barrier in front of his master, his expression is no longer firm, but fragile and vulnerable, and the pain in his eyes is clearly visible.

He squatted down and sat at Shanzhi's feet, as if to say to the latter, and seemed to mutter: "The student is very confused, I don't know how to deal with it, I cut the mess quickly, but I can't bear it, and it hurts, but if I let it develop, it is even more intolerable, and the student is really confused." ”

"Because you are confused and don't know how to choose, you choose a path of self-deception and escape." Master Shanzhi said with a smile.

Bai Lang looked up at the wrinkles on his face, "Isn't it cowardly for the student to do this?" Very useless and unproductive? I know that a manly man should be responsible and able to bear it, but I-I really don't know how to do it. ”

Shan Zhi smiled and sat down next to him, "I didn't say those words, I said that you should escape, I want to tell you that you are doing the right thing, if you have a way, you will not escape, if you have no way, even if you stay, it is useless, it is better to leave for the time being."

As the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, occasionally let yourself stand up and take a look, maybe you can see the way out in the fog. ”

Bai Lang was stunned, his face was not as dazed as he was just now, and he nodded: "Thank you master for your guidance, the student has understood, maybe, I should leave for a while, think about it, there is a solution to everything, but I don't want to bear the result after that solution." ”

"If only you understood." Shan Zhi stood up with his shoulders and sighed: "You haven't been up the mountain for so many years, my body is not as good as before."

I agreed with my brother that when the time comes, we will travel together, and we will set off in five days, this road is arduous, these five days, you are cultivating on the mountain, you must abandon the red dust and distractions, leave everything, you can walk lightly. Otherwise—"

"Otherwise, the master won't take the students with him." Bai Lang held Master Shanzhi's arm in one hand and his luggage in the other, and the two of them went to the main hall.

Shan Zhi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that I won't take you there, if I don't care about your thoughts, I will naturally be willing to take you, but if your heart refuses to go, what's the point of you leaving, these five days, you should think about whether you want to go with me."
