Chapter 67: If the Sky Is Lovely, the Sky Will Be Old (2)
.
The two were talking, and suddenly saw a person standing tremblingly at the door of the bedroom of the dormitory with a cane, and after a pause, she hesitated slightly and walked in. Then, slowly walked to the side of the bed, looked at Fanxiang, smiled, did not speak, sat next to Su Xinyan next to the bed, raised his hand tremblingly, gently stroked Su Xinyan's cheek, just like Xiao Yan did when he was a child, smiled, and said softly: "Now I am finally relieved, my family Yan'er will never be sad and sad again." "The eyes are loving, and they look at her for a long time.
Su Xinyan hurriedly withdrew his hands from Fanxiang's hands, and his cheeks were crimson.
The two turned their heads to look and saw a woman of about eighty years old, wearing a blue dress and trousers, the collar and cuffs were embroidered with seven-color moire satin, the trousers were wide and long, the waist was tied with a black blue and white cloth belt, and the feet were wearing black cloth shoes, and a small blue flower was pinned to the placket. The hair has turned gray, combed a three-handful of hair, combed neatly, slightly fat, the face is wrinkled, and the appearance is vaguely recognizable from the beauty of youth.
The old woman had come alone.
She looked at Su Xinyan's gaze, gentle and soft. The woman sat down close to Su Xinyan, bowed her head slightly, patted the back of her hand, her lips squirmed slightly, and wanted to continue to say something, but she wanted to stop talking. After that, with a shallow smile, he looked at Su Xinyan and Fanxiang, stood up on crutches, walked outside the dormitory, and when he was about to walk out of the door, he turned around, smiled, and waved his hand lightly at the two.
The moment Su Xinyan looked at her, there was a sense of déjà vu, the round face, the beautiful eyebrows that didn't seem to have aged in time, and the gentle eyes...... Su Xinyan suddenly felt so uncomfortable in her heart and wanted to cry,—— but, where have I seen her?
She hurriedly left the bedside and gently hugged her, staring at the familiar old face.
Fan Xiang also hurriedly got out of bed, casually put on his coat, and followed.
The old woman smiled, slightly rickety, and walked forward on crutches, looking at the light thrown by the fat fireball outside the hall, which was mottled on the ground of the dormitory, but tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and murmured, "Go, go, there is a time for reunion." Then, the woman took Su Xinyan's hand, as if she was not too sad, but turned her head again, looked at Su Xinyan deeply for a while, and said: "Don't be too sad, we have gone through a journey together after all, it is worth rejoicing, but we will be separated in the end, that is everyone's way back, and it is also a new beginning." In the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, don't be discouraged, you must give yourself a hope, have confidence, be optimistic, and walk towards that hope. If you feel that there is no hope, then you are disarmed, and you have to tell yourself that the obstacles set by fate are not worth mentioning in the face of hope. He let go of his hand, leaned on his crutches, trembled, and slowly left.
Su Xinyan supported her, sent her outside, watched the old woman walk towards the front hall, and gradually walked away, a tear for some reason, but couldn't help but flow out. She didn't understand the meaning of this woman's words just now, but she couldn't help nodding in approval, only feeling that this old woman with snowy sideburns, perhaps, fate had ravaged her life into a crumpled paper, but she was so concise and good in temperament and conversation,—— she was like a noble queen.
But who is she?
Su Xinyan stood at the door of the dormitory, watching the old woman slowly go away in a daze, with a sad feeling in her heart!
Fan Xiang moved her limbs, her limbs were warm, very relaxed, and she felt that she was fine, so she finished washing, stopped dressing, and walked into the front hall with Su Xinyan.
The two stood behind the elders, looked from a distance, and saw the old woman sitting on the throne of the village just now, with elegant demeanor, concise speech, with the softest and most stubborn attitude, guarding the strongest bottom line and not giving up, listening to the elders in the hall, one by one to deal with the decisions, in an orderly manner.
This old woman was very beautiful, and although her hair was full of silver threads, she was as dignified as ever and dressed elegantly. Her beauty, even if it is washed away, you can know that it comes from blood and bones, years of precipitation, this can't wash away the beauty and tenacity, you don't need to appreciate it, it's in it. She always smiled gently, and smiled to turn all the pain and bitterness into the spice of life, beautiful and dazzling, through the smoke and dust of the years, clearly emerged, and made people amazed.
Su Xinyan suddenly understood that this was her sister, and in order to save Fanxiang and herself, she had lost her best years. She finally couldn't control it, she cried out with a "wow", pushed away the elders in the hall, ran to the old woman in one step, squatted under the old woman's knees, took the old woman's hand, and cried silently, "Sister, I hurt you, sister, why are you so stupid?" Sister, I am sorry for you......
The harlequin slowly raised her hand, waved lightly to the elders in the hall, and said softly: "Everyone retreat first!" The tone was gentle, but there was no doubt, and the elders heard it, and they slowly retreated, and when they reached the door of the main hall, they turned around and walked out of the main hall.
The clown raised her hand and stroked Su Xinyan's cheek, smiled slightly, her face was calm, and said lightly: "Little sister, don't cry, I'm not good, as long as I can exchange you for a lifetime without being sad or sad, my sister will be satisfied, and I will be worthy of seeing our parents in the sky in the future." I've lived enough, I'm going to go home! In the future, you will preside over the affairs of the ghost cave village, take everyone, protect everyone, follow the sacred duty entrusted to us by the emperor of the Han family in Dongsheng, and protect every inch of land in my Han family, even if there is only one person left in my ghost cave, we must strictly follow the ancestral teachings left for thousands of years!"
"Sister,......" Su Xinyan listened, and she was already in tears.
After Fan Xiang woke up, he probably knew that his condition was under control from Su Xinyan, but he didn't know what the ghost cave people had done, and now he saw the old appearance of the harlequin, listened to the conversation between the sisters, and finally felt like a mirror. Little brother, you don't have to be so polite, I save you and I also repay you for saving my ghost cave clan, if you don't participate in the war, the life and death of our ghost cave clan are unpredictable, so you don't have to be so polite. ”
"No, big sister, I have to be grateful for you sacrificing yourself to save me, but next, I don't know what to do to get back your lost years. ”
"You don't have to take it to heart, you can take care of your body in the ghost cave village in the next few days and cure the disease completely. ...... My cousin Chang Xi had already gone to Mount Everest in the early hours of the morning to look for the 10,000-year-old snow lotus, she has deep psychic skills and can go to heaven and earth, so you don't have to worry. Her face is still so calm, faint, nearly 100 years old, still elegant and beautiful, sober and independent.
"Or, I'm going to go to the Zidu River to find the Beigong servant army that invaded the south and rescue the two brothers and sisters. It is at the foot of the northern mountain of the Kunlun Mountains, and if I go, the route must go from the foot of the southern foothills of the mountain, through the Kunlun Pass, to the Zidu River on the southern edge of the Nataklamakan Desert. I once heard a friend say that Kunlun Mountain is the holy place of the Queen Mother of the Southern Heaven to escape the summer, in addition to the ice tear grass that treats me, there are also many immortal and rejuvenated Yao grass fairies, such as by chance, maybe you can find one or two, when the time comes, it may be useful, in this way, Sister Chang Xi is looking for it in Zhushan, and I can also look for it when I pass through Kunlun, so that in two places at the same time, there is one more opportunity to get it, so I will leave now and strive to find it as soon as possible, big sister, Xiao Yan, what do you think?"
"But you've just gotten better, and your body hasn't fully recovered, so I'm ...... I don't want you to go now! If there is a three-long and two-short, my sister will not feel guilty. Su Xinyan glanced at her sister, turned her head and looked at Fan Xiang worriedly and said.
"Xiao Yan is right, little brother, don't worry, you will be raised in the village for a few days, and it will be completely recovered, and it is not too late to go again. cough cough ......" The clown walked slowly a few steps with a cane, looked at Fan Xiang and said softly, coughing a few times.
Fan Xiang moved her limbs, laughed, and said, "Big sister, Xiao Yan, you see, I'm all right, I'll go now, otherwise, stay in the village, I'll get sick." ”
Su Xinyan saw it, came over, gently slapped him on the shoulder, smiled, and said softly: "You like to be strong!" The clown saw it next to her and smiled slightly.
"I'm going now! Rescue the benefactor, find the snow lotus, and I'll come back. Fan Xiang immediately took a deep look at the harlequin of the village owner, turned around and walked towards the door of the main hall. Su Xinyan hurriedly turned around and said to the clown, "Sister, I'll send him." A few steps followed, and he walked out of the main hall side by side with Fanxiang and walked out of the cave.
When the villagers in the cave heard it, they all came out to send it off.
The clown led all the villagers to send Fanxiang and the others out of the cave village all the way to the Tiaoshui River, where a bamboo raft gently swayed on the water surface of the bank.
Fan Xiang and Su Xinyan stood by the river, looked back at the soldiers and civilians of the Ghost Cave Clan who were sending each other behind them, waved around, and said loudly: "Okay, we must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, we will say goodbye to each other, and there will be a period later." He pulled out the broken knife from his waist, slashed into the void, and held it high, "Fathers and fellow villagers, wait for me to come back!" Everyone waved to him in unison.
Su Xinyan had tears in her eyes, and said to Fan Xiang: "Brother Fan Xiang, I can't go with you, my sister is old now, I'm afraid...... I wonder when we'll be able to meet when you're gone, hopefully, we'll be able to meet soon!"
"Xiaoyan, I think, we'll meet soon. I'm going to take you to play with Wan Haoruo's little sister, right? Fan Xiang gently hugged Su Xinyan and said softly.
"Well, I remember, Brother Fanxiang, you promised me, in this life, I will go wherever you go, and when my sister is settled, you must come back to me,...... I'm waiting for you to come back!Brother Fanxiang, you must remember the song of Yishui that I sang to you!You must remember!" Su Xinyan took Fanxiang's hand and was reluctant.
"Well, I'll remember, Xiao Yan, go back, practice the mental learning and drunken knife techniques that I taught you in the bedroom just now, and then, teach your people, protect yourself, I'm leaving, you take care, everyone take care." ”
Fan Xiang led the big green horse, alone, got on the bamboo row, turned around and waved his hand to everyone, and went down the river to the west. The crowd that had come to see each other dispersed.
The wind at the beginning of May, neither hot nor cold, gently blowing the surface of the water, sparkling, whining, just like the water is also gently whimpering.
Su Xinyan stood on the shore of Tiaoshui and muttered, "Brother, I know you will come back." But seeing you go, but, but I don't know why, I just want to cry, hide alone, cry loudly, brother, I don't know why, I feel so sad and sad, woo woo ....... As you said, I will go wherever you go...... Yes, yesterday in the battle, I thought we would die together, we were born on different days, but we died on the same day, which is good. Yesterday, we rode a horse together, I gently leaned on your shoulder, and I was thinking, we kept walking, kept walking, kept walking, went all the way, went to the ends of the earth, walked to the sunrise and sunset, and walked to the mountains and flowers,...... How nice it would be to keep going all the way to the end of the world?...... Alas...... "The wind blows the hem of her garment, and the ribbon flies."
With tears in her eyes, she stared blankly at the direction where the bamboo raft was going, for a long time.
