Chapter 29: Let's go to Meiwu Mountain
originally wanted to live a stable life, make money, live a life, and find someone to marry, but in her opinion, it is really not possible now.
Bai Jiaojiao was a little worried about the Tang family, now Dong Mingxuan's identity is unknown, and the Tang family also has his children, and there is also a relationship between the two of them.
Bai Jiaojiao saw Tang holding the needle in his hand and carefully sewing the small clothes made for the child in his hand. His eyes were filled with a gentle gaze, as if he were looking at a rare treasure.
Bai Jiaojiao walked to Tang's side and sat down. Look up at Down. This woman who let her come to this world without a trace of grievance, she wanted to know, if the Tang family knew that Dong Mingxuan's identity was not simple, how should she choose?
Tang Shi looked at his daughter and looked at her with some questions, and asked curiously, "Yiyi, what are you doing looking at me like this?" β
"It's nothing, mother, I have a question for you, what would you do if one day your life deviated from the current trajectory?" Bai Jiaojiao still didn't hold back and said to Tang with some hints.
In fact, Bai Jiaojiao's psychology also treats Dong Mingxuan as a family member, because Dong Mingxuan has done a lot for her. But she didn't want Dong Mingxuan to carry some big secrets alone, or hide from their mother and daughter? If they have to experience something, they can go through the wind and rain together, but keeping their mother and daughter in the dark like this always feels that it is an unknown choice, so Bai Jiaojiao's heart is very uneasy.
Tang was a little surprised, because she didn't know what her daughter was talking about, what the trajectory of the deviation was?
"Why do you ask? Isn't there something wrong? Tang said.
looked at Bai Jiaojiao without blinking, her daughter has become no longer naΓ―ve since she woke up five years ago, not as lively and cute as a child of her age, always cautious and silent.
She always thought that her daughter must have seen the misfortune in the family and the people's misery, so she became so silent and unhappy at all. She blamed herself for not giving her daughter a happy and warm family.
In fact, when she married Dong Mingxuan this time, she also took into account that she wanted to give her daughter a normal family, so that her daughter would become as lively, innocent and cute as a little girl of the same age.
But what she expected was only a short moment, and now her daughter has shouldered the responsibility of the family again.
Tang reached out and stroked Bai Jiaojiao's head, wanting to make her smile, wanting to hug her and tell her that there is a mother, don't worry. But she didn't know how to speak, because in such a situation, she didn't help like a wreck.
"Mother, it's nothing, I'm just a little emotional."
"Actually, I don't know if it's right now, you will always be the first in your mother's heart. Mother will always protect you. β
That's all Tang can say now.
Bai Jiaojiao originally wanted to tell his mother that she felt that Dong Mingxuan was not an ordinary person, but after thinking about it, she felt that she shouldn't say that. Her mother's feelings for Dong Mingxuan Bai Jiaojiao are in her eyes, and Dong Mingxuan's feelings for the Tang family are still in her eyes.
If you let go of its unknown background, Dong Mingxuan is definitely a good person, but now that there is such a background, Bai Jiaojiao feels a little uncomfortable.
Bai Jiaojiao has always been a person who wants to control everything, and she does not allow any exceptions to appear in the situation she has arranged.
Bai Jiaojiao didn't ask any more, stood up and went back to her room.
Tang was a little curious about Bai Jiaojiao's reaction, but he didn't say anything.
On the second day, the weather was gloomy, rainy and a little muggy, but there was still a cold wind. The rain is not heavy, but there is always a sadness in it.
Li Jingcheng was wearing a silver-gray robe, he no longer wore white, no longer spotless, but this silver-gray robe showed his nobility even more.
This outfit is perfect for the weather today. Holding an inky umbrella, he slowly got out of the carriage.
At the foot of the mountain, he looked up at the mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and the temple was still there. But the person who once accompanied him to this mountain is gone forever.
The rain in early spring is not heavy, but it moistens things silently, and it always ends. But this kind of weather is the best for Li Jingcheng.
It would be nice if this heavy rain could wash away all his previous memories.
Occasionally, the old temple on the hill seems to be able to hear the sound of wooden fish. And a little chime.
Li Jingcheng hadn't heard this bell for a long time, awakening his long-sealed scar that he didn't dare to formalize.
There was no laughter in my ears. There was no more of that person's playful and joking voice.
Li Jingcheng held the umbrella and walked up slowly step by step. Lightning stayed by the carriage and waited quietly.
Li Jingcheng's figure was a little lonely, but he still climbed up again and again. Now the weather, the age. Very few people have come to this hill since that man left.
"Brother Jingcheng. I heard the palace maid say that the Bodhisattva of this mountain is spiritual. Then I will climb up and pray to the Bodhisattva that you will be safe for the rest of your life. β
The little girl jumped up beside the boy. Such golden branches and jade leaves, I have never suffered like this, the young man looked in his eyes and stretched out his hand to take the little girl's hand.
The little girl was a little surprised, but more than that, she was glad that the wood beside her had finally opened up.
It's not in vain that she has bothered so much to please him all these years.
In fact, the little girl didn't know that at that moment, the teenager's panic reached the extreme, and it was also the time to make a decision, and in terms of girls and rights, he chose the latter. This is also the last time to hold the girl's hand willfully, and he will no longer be qualified to hold this warm hand.
"Brother Jingcheng, I heard that there is a wishing pond on this mountain, which is very spiritual. Let's go make a wish! The little girl said excitedly.
The boy stiffened for a moment, fearing that her desire would become a cruel knife. Cut off all the goodness, but still came to the Trevi Fountain.
Li Jingcheng came to the temple with an umbrella, there was some moss at the door, which was very different from the prosperity of a few years ago, he stood in front of the door and looked at the door was open, the wall changed from bright yellow to copper yellow now, some old, as if it had been washed by bloodstains, leaving indelible traces, the plaque still says Jokhang Temple, the font is still atmospheric, and it has become blurred a lot by the wind and sun of time.
Li Jingcheng stood at the door, watching the occasional one or two small novices pass by, and there was an incense burner two meters high in the lobby facing the door. At this moment a monk came up without an umbrella, and the rain fell on him, wetting his gray robe and clinging to it.
"Donor, don't come unharmed, the abbot told me to come here today and wait for you. Said that when you came, you would go to the Hall of Eternal Life and sit down, and I wanted to play chess with you. β
This little monk's name is Wuku, and he is the acting host of this temple, and he used to be just a small sweeping monk.
"I'm tired, then let's go." Li Jingcheng said.
Raised his feet and entered the temple, no one noticed that Li Jingcheng's body shook slightly, and he was a little unstable, but he still raised his feet step by step to the place where he had vowed never to enter again.
"Brother Jingcheng, look, there is a place to rest, I'm really going to be squeezed into a meatloaf, I'm so tired, I'm thirsty." The little girl squeezed her shoulder with her hand and said with a headache.
"You bear with me first, I'll go see if there is a tea room." The boy spoke, and with that, he walked out.
"What a fool, why bother to go and leave me here alone." The girl was a little anxious, but she still obediently waited for the boy in the same place.
Li Jingcheng looked at this room, it was still the same as it used to be, there was a painting hanging on the north wall, and there was a place to the west of Guanyin. There is a square table on a clay kang, and there is still only one set of chess pieces on the table.
Li Jingcheng did not sit down, but closed his eyes, and if you look closely, you will see that his slightly trembling hands have been clenched involuntarily. The green tendons on his hands flare up, but he still feels calm just looking at his face.
"Donor, you wait now, the presiding abbot will be here soon, and I will go down first." Wu Ku said, Li Jingcheng nodded lightly, still did not answer.
Wu Ku said: "Amitabha! β
Li Jingcheng waited for a while, and saw an old man walking in slowly, ten years have passed, there seems to be no change, still a white beard, bright yellow monk's robe, without a trace of wrinkles, but the eyes and spirit, revealing a sense of transparency to see through everything in the world.
"Amitabha, donor, don't come unharmed." Domain Master said.
Li Jingcheng's heart trembled when he saw and heard this voice. It's been a long time.
Bai Jiaojiao returned to the house and lay down, she stared at the top of the tent above her head in a daze, but the figure of an immortal appeared in front of her that day.
Li Jingcheng, who are you? Why does it appear in Mt. Inotaki? Is it seclusion or ...... Recalling the pair of cold and indifferent eyes that were as cold and indifferent as the frozen snow of the Western Plateau for thousands of years, Bai Jiaojiao felt an inexplicable chill.
Although Li Jingcheng has been very warm and forbears her, what still reminds her of the first time she saw it, like a god in the sky, not causing trouble in the world.
obviously looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, but between his eyes is the desolation of reading all the vicissitudes of life and seeing all the world. What kind of story does he have?
Thinking about it, thinking about it, Bai Jiaojiao fell asleep in a daze.
Half-asleep, my grandfather's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"Good girl, have you memorized the practice of this black paper fan? Grandpa is going to see your grandmother, you have to be good, grandpa and grandma will be in another world, watching our good girl marry and have children...... Good girl, grandpa is gone......" The voice became farther and farther away, and the sleeping Bai Jiaojiao shook her head desperately.
"Grandpa, don't go, don't leave me alone......" But no matter how much she pleaded, her grandfather's figure became fading and fading until he disappeared. "Grandpa!"
Bai Jiaojiao turned over and sat up violently.
At this moment, several rooster crows sounded outside the window. Bai Jiaojiao wiped the fine beads of sweat on her face, took a few deep breaths, and it was still a long time, she took a thin single coat and put it on her body and leaned back, stunned.
In her sophomore year, her grandfather, who raised her as an adult, died of a serious illness due to a small cold that was not taken seriously, and she spent a year in a mess, and in her junior year, she was hit by a speeding car in order to save a street child.
When she woke up again, she became Bai Jiaojiao! In her previous life, when she was still an infant, her parents passed away unexpectedly, although she was carefully cared for by her grandparents to grow up.
But deep down, she still yearns for the love of her parents.
Just like Tang and Dong Mingxuan, they take care of each other, respect each other, respect each other like guests, but they can rely on each other for life and death.
