Chapter 13: The Dragon's Grave
The breeze came, Su Tianyi three thousand green silk flew, and as the skirt moved, the brilliance of the sun would fade in front of him, and it would become a lamp that illuminated the graceful figure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
"Miss, it's early, it's not yet here, how did Miss arrive. If I had slept, the young lady would have had to wait. Li Yi said with a smile.
The two left Su Mansion, but Su Tianyi didn't even bring a maid, so he accompanied Li Yi to buy fabrics.
Su Tianyi said: "If anyone sleeps in broad daylight, only you have such leisure." β
Li Yi disagreed, and said: "You can't say that, there is a saying in my hometown that 'if you don't sleep at noon, you will collapse in the afternoon', only by taking a nap can you have better energy to face the great cause." β
"If you start talking, you will be called second, and no one will dare to say first. But when you talk about your hometown, you have been coming to my Su Mansion for so long, but you have always been mysterious, where is your hometown? Su Tianyi looked at Li Yi with clear eyes, and it was so beautiful that it was suffocating.
"Su Mansion is my home." Li Yi said with a grin.
I saw a ray of light in Su Tianyi's beautiful eyes, which frightened Li Yi and hurriedly beckoned: "I said, I said." β
Li Yi rarely put away that cheeky look, his expression showed great sadness, and said, "Yes, where is my hometown?" Where are you, my relatives? All this is as if your me is gone, and my you are just a beautiful dream. For the first time, after coming to this world for so many days, Li Yi's eyes were moist, his vision gradually blurred, and all that appeared in front of him was the familiar faces.
I didn't know that I was a guest in my dream, and I laughed a lot and was sad.
"Are you alright? Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. Su Tianyi looked concerned and said with self-reproach.
Li Yi wiped his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm fine, let the young lady smile." I can't tell you where my hometown is, because I don't know. However, I now have a home, and her name is Sufu. β
"Raise your hands and spread your arms." A woman said.
Coming to this cloth village is different from what Li Yi imagined. There are no clothes for sale here, only cloth for sale, there is no fitting room here, and naturally there is no place for Li Yi's so-called unspoken rules, what is here is just tailor-made. Li Yi could only look at Su Tianyi's flower and moon appearance, and sighed.
"Miss, this size has been measured, what kind of fabric do you want?" The woman asked, pointing to the many pieces of cloth.
Li Yi looked around, he had bought a lot of these clothes, but when it came to cloth, it was the first time he had seen so much. Although in the countryside, most of the people of Li's father's and Li's mother's generation still wear clothes made of their own cloth, but in Li Yi's generation, they are nowhere to be seen.
"How's this cloth?" Li Yi pointed to a gray-white cloth and asked, he only knew that the general dark-colored cloth was not good, but he didn't see a pure white cloth.
"Thisβ" The shopkeeper frowned, puzzled. Miss Su came to buy cloth, this one was the best silk, but she bought this coarse cloth, which is a bit unreasonable.
Su Tianyi smiled slightly and said, "Take out all your high-quality silks and take a look." β
This time, the shopkeeper smiled and replied, "Okay, you wait a minute." β
After a while, the woman came out with a bunch of silk and satin, and Li Yi said straight in her heart, this is called cloth, what are these outside, why don't you take it out in the morning.
Su Tianyi was rummaging, but Li Yi was admiring it from the side, not knowing whether he was looking at the cloth or looking at the people.
"These three pieces of cloth, according to his measurements, each of them are made of a piece of clothing." Su Tianyi pointed at Li Yi and said.
"Three pieces of clothes, why do you want so much, it's not like I don't have any clothes to wear." Li Yi asked.
Su Tianyi took out the silver ticket and said, "Don't worry, I will give you the silver, you are afraid that I will not give you the one hundred taels of silver." β
"Ninety taels in total." The shopkeeper said with a smile, this is a big business, how can you see such a distinguished customer on weekdays.
Su Tianyi gave it without blinking, Li Yi was very surprised, this is his Li Yi's salary for a few months! It's good that I don't use my own silver, otherwise I'd rather not wear clothes.
"Li Yi, you bring all the fabrics back to Su Mansion first, I still have something to do." Su Tianyi instructed Li Yi.
"It's so late, what are you going to do alone, I'll go with you." Li Yi replied.
Su Tianyi pointed to the fabric and said, "Do you want to go to Lingyin Temple with me with the fabric?" You go back, I'll just go alone. β
Li Yi asked the store, "Do you guys have free shipping?" β
"Package, free shipping!" The woman didn't understand.
"It's just to help me send these fabrics to Su Mansion, it's really not good, I'll add some silver." Li Yi explained.
The woman suddenly realized: "Oh, this way, little things, little things, I will ask someone to send it to you, and there is no need to add more money, welcome to visit again next time." β
Obviously, they are all smart people, how can they still charge that running fee when they do a big business. Su Tianyi hurriedly thanked Li Yi.
Out of Buzhuang, Li Yi asked, "Miss, the sun is about to go down, what are you going to Lingyin Temple for?" Seeking marriage? β
Su Tianyi glared at him and said, "The person who needs to ask for marriage is you." Every year on this day, I go to Lingyin Temple with my mother, and it is dusk, and I don't know why. My mother told me before leaving, but now, I hope I don't know why. I was going not to go today, but after all, this is what my mother has insisted on for a lifetime. β
Li Yi asked cautiously, "Is this related to your father?" β
Su Tianyi bit her lip and didn't speak, with a little haggard and helpless, looking so pitiful. Li Yi stopped talking and became a quiet companion.
The dreary sunset struggles to emit a red glow that illuminates the sacred temple.
Li Yi accompanied Su Tianyi all the way, but Su Tianyi did not come to this Lingyin Temple to worship the Buddha.
The two of them stood next to the Buddha statue in front of the main hall, and in the twilight of the setting sun, the three shadows were stretched for a long time. Su Tianyiyu untied the red thread on her neck with her hand, and a jade pendant appeared in her hand, which was the one on the lantern.
Su Tianyi turned his back to the Buddha statue, facing the sunset, and raised the jade pendant in his hand to look at something. Li Yi was very curious, walked over, and asked, "Miss, is there any secret to this jade pendant?" β
Su Tianyi looked at Li Yi, handed him the jade pendant, and motioned for him to stand where she was standing just now.
Li Yizhan was there, and looked at the jade pendant in his hand, a green dragon lying on it, permeated with the majesty of an emperor. Following Su Tianyi's example, he raised the jade pendant, facing the sunset, and the red light was no longer dazzling, penetrating from around the green dragon. Li Yi covered his other eye, only to see that the green dragon gradually blurred, but the red light that penetrated formed a picture and entered Li Yi's mind.
In that picture, a man and a woman stand in clusters in the light, illusory and real.
Li Yi returned the jade pendant to Su Tianyi, Su Tianyi looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and said slowly: "My mother, call it the 'Dragon Tomb'."
