Chapter 14: Departure
Something, what is it? Ake vaguely remembered that when he was rescued, there should have been nothing at all.
Go back to the house and close the door.
Granny Beiming opened a curtain in the room, and behind the curtain was a wall. The mother-in-law put her hand against the wall, and the Geniel slowly penetrated, and the wall began to open, and when the mother-in-law withdrew the Genri, a secret passage appeared in front of Ake.
"Follow my mother-in-law. ”
Ah Ke followed his mother-in-law's stumbling steps and walked along the deep dark passage, and after walking for a short time, the soft light sprinkled from the top of his head, and he could faintly smell the faint fragrance.
At the end of the dark passage is the exit.
Here it is...... Green Valley.
"Mother-in-law, here?"
Granny Beiming didn't answer, but just led him to continue walking into the depths, and soon, they reached their destination.
"Village Chief, Uncle Cen!"
"You're here. "The village chief's subordinates are constantly tinkering with something.
Father Cen didn't speak, and nodded to show that he knew they were coming. When I got closer, I saw that the village chief was holding a pure white lotus flower in his hand and threw petals into an ice pool. "Village Chief, who are you?"
"I'm preparing a place for Mother-of-Pearl. "The lotus flower, which grows at the junction of the ice field and the green valley, absorbs half of life and half of cold, and is the best food for mother-of-pearl.
The village chief stripped the petals of the flowers, leaving only the stamens.
Granny Beiming took the stamen, and then took a silt from the bottom of the lake from Father Cen's hand, and took off the stamens one by one on the ice platform next to her and put them into the silt.
Ake didn't pay much attention to his mother-in-law's movements, his gaze stayed on the pink mussel. The pink mussel is very face-saving, revealing once again the tender white flesh and the red silk that is almost the same as the mother-of-pearl.
"It seems that this pink mussel likes Ake very much. Father Cen looked at the pink clam and joked. The village chief didn't know about this and was very interested, so Father Cen told the village chief what happened yesterday. The mother-in-law also heard of it for the first time, and in the end, the three of them looked at Ake, who had red lips and white teeth, and the bad taste in her eyes was not too heavy.
Ake, a handsome guy, was stunned and made them blush.
The wind from the ice field brought coolness, and Ake's red face slowly became normal under the soothing of the breeze. He began to carefully observe the movements of the three elders.
The village chief still tore the lotus petals into strands.
Daddy Cen ...... Is this playing with mud?
What is this doing?
Mother-in-law Beiming is thin and small, and because of her cultivation, she is very energetic. She laughed as she did what she was doing.
With a slight shaking of the wrist, the Xiaoice pestle held in the hand evenly drew a full circle.
Ah Ke was a little distracted, the movements of the Northern Mother-in-law were very rhythmic, in circles, the silt sandwiched the stamens, which were crushed and fused, and gradually turned into a white pulp, exuding a faint fragrance.
"Ake, come. ”
"Uh...... "You don't want me to drink it, do you?" It looks pretty good, but it's just a lump of mud.
"Come, show your left shoulder. "The village chief finally finished tearing the petals.
Although he didn't understand what he meant, Ah Ke obediently took off half of his shirt and exposed his left shoulder, and where he couldn't see, a lively snow fox hovered over it.
The village chief took the ice cup from his mother-in-law's hand, walked to Ake's side, and under the guidance of the complicated movements of his right hand, the white slurry slowly flew up and landed on the snow fox mark.
It was cold to the bone, and the chill slowly spread from the shoulders to the heart. The chill was even stronger than when he fell into the ice cave as a child.
Granny Beiming watched as the snow fox mark gradually dissipated, and a graceful flower reappeared.
"It's okay, put it on. ”
Arco straightened his clothes and looked at them, waiting for an explanation.
The village chief didn't speak, and the mother-in-law didn't say anything, and Father Cen saw that the two didn't speak, so he had to explain by himself.
"You have the mark of a flower on you, it should be the mark of your hometown. This imprint can be felt and tracked by anyone outside the ice field, but once you enter the ice field, you will lose contact. In order to prevent unnecessary injury, we can only seal you up. ”
"Now that you have no way out, if your loved one is still looking for you, he should be able to sense where you are. You might even end up in the ice field. Granny Beiming continued.
What the ice field looks like, Arco has seen. The young people of the village had seen it under the guidance of Cen Dad and other experienced people.
The vastness is boundless, and everything is silent.
So, can anyone who cares about him be in such danger? He can't gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble.
But......
"Village Chief, what kind of mark is so powerful, it can cross the barrier of the ice field and be perceived. "Ah Ke knows that there is a barrier on the periphery of the ice field, which can isolate the five senses, what a mark, so powerful.
The village chief looked at Ake's expression and sighed a little: "If I guessed correctly, it should be the Divine Seal." ”
"Divine Seal!"
Rao is mother-in-law and Father Cen were shocked. They thought it might be a family mark, but they didn't expect it to be a divine seal. Suddenly, the look in Ake's eyes was wrong
This kid. Is it God!?
Under the gaze of two pairs of wolf-like eyes, Ah Ke was calm on the surface, and the waves were turbulent in his heart.
"This divine seal is a blessing. It should be the mark of Ake's relatives praying for him. The village chief paused for a moment before he continued, and successfully waited for the disdainful eyes of the three people.
"Village Chief, you are serious. Ah Ke said angrily that the village chief was an old child.
The village chief winked mischievously at him.
The heart is a little tired.
"Mother-of-pearl has been settled. The previous closed-eye bead will be given to Ake. Father Cen walked to the edge of the ice pool where the pink mussels were placed, and watched the pink mussels leisurely spitting small bubbles, and his heart suddenly quieted.
I can't help my father, but I think of Cen Qi.
Ake's eyes were slightly red, and he didn't know what to say. Granny Beiming took his hand and comforted him silently. A faint sorrow rippled in everyone's hearts.
The night is dark and the wind is high.
Cen Qi and Ah Ke took advantage of the night and set foot on the way to leave. Not letting too many villagers know when they were leaving, they couldn't stand the atmosphere.
"Be careful on the road. Come back when you've had enough. "Daddy Cen has said everything he should have said, and a thousand words at this moment have converged into this sentence.
Only when you really want to leave will you feel nostalgic. Cen Qi hugged his father and nodded vigorously: "I will return safely." ”
After saying goodbye to their families, the two stepped on the ice sleigh and did not look back, moving forward along the road they had left.
Granny Beiming and Father Cen stood in place, and when the sled was so small that they couldn't even see a point, they refused to go back to the village.
"Uncle Cen, mother-in-law. ”
"Snow girl?" The snow falling all over the North Stygian Snow has been out for a long time.
She smiled faintly and brushed away the snowflakes on Granny Beiming: "It's time to go back." As he spoke, he hugged the mother-in-law of the North Shadow and turned around with her.
The three men followed the opposite direction of the person who left, forward, and did not look back.
Although we are now on opposite paths, I believe that we will always be together. Ah Qi, Brother Yi, we are here waiting for you to come back.
"Ake, no, I can't call you Ake now. I'm going to call you Ah Yi. The desire for new things and the outside world washed away the sorrow of Cen Qi's hometown, and although he was still in the ice field, he was active.
Ah Ke remembered his mother-in-law's advice, and when he left the village, he called back his original name - Jiang Yige, and his mother-in-law said that by calling his original name, maybe someone would know him.
"Daddy said that with the closed eyes bead, we have a direction, and we don't have to take detours, and we can reach the ice barrier in about three days...... Hey, what's wrong with you? Why are you absent-minded?"
The absent-minded Jiang Yige looked back in the direction he came, but the ice sled did not leave traces on the thick ice: "I always feel that I lost something?"
"What did you lose? I'll see if I brought anything to eat or drink?" Cen Qi thought he had missed something.
Jiang Yige shook his head: "No, feeling is a very important thing." ”
Cen Qi frowned, didn't my brother miss his mother-in-law as soon as he came out: "Do you miss your mother-in-law?" After asking, he saw the young man shaking his head.
"What's that?"
Jiang Yige couldn't tell what it was, and always felt a little sad, a little lost, and a little sad. He told Cen Qi about these feelings, and successfully got an explanation from his friends - leaving sorrow.
He himself clearly felt that this was not a parting sorrow and hatred, but a very subtle feeling, but he did not feel it very clearly.
"Don't think about it, we're going to have to get ready to find a place to rest. Cen Qi's hearty voice dispersed on the ice field.
"Hmm!" Anyway, will be back.
In the distance, the smooth flower crystals rubbed in the hands of the woman dressed as a traveler emitted a soft glow of hope after more than ten years of silence.
Fu Yuechun cried with joy, holding the voice of the married: "I knew that Ah Yi was still alive." ”
Suyin is also full of mixed feelings, and finally has a hope, right?
