Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 50: The water is not rising
A few people stood by the river, holding candles and lanterns. Miss Qi also looked at the water, and was distracted. The red light of the stars sank into her eyes, condensed into a little, swaying.
At this point, she suddenly took a step forward.
Shi Wuqi reacted quickly, he grabbed her arm and dragged her back, looking surprised. Yamami noticed.
"Miss Qi is her own ......"
ββ¦β¦ Be. I think maybe it has something to do with her when she was alive. Well, give me a lamp. β
Shi Wuqi bent down with Miss Qi and put the lantern into the river. Ah Luan asked, "What wish did you make without renunciation?" β
"I think you all know. What about you? β
"I want to grow taller this year."
"Sleep, fast dreams."
"What do you say?"
"What about the mountains and seas?"
"The country and the people are safe, and the world is peaceful."
"If it's you, I also recommend that you go to bed early. Don't just look at the excitement, Miss Liangqiu doesn't write something? β
"No, I don't believe that."
"Hey, why are you so boring?"
Shanhai handed her a lantern.
"Write, buy everything, it's expensive."
Mu Wan pondered for a long time and took it. She felt that the reason was too heavy to refuse.
She was the last to put the lamp into the river. Standing up, she felt a little dazed, and her eyes were dizzy from the fancy fireworks. The soft music on the street, the soft communication between people, and the subtle sound of water are all entangled, wrapped in a ball, separated and lit into candles, so that everything goes down the river.
She wanted to go, she didn't like to watch these. Mu Wan remembered that she didn't like to join in the fun when she was a child, and she always liked to stay quietly alone. But she still likes to go out to art exhibitions and temple fairs, because sometimes her father will come back from the court and accompany her mother to take her and her brother around all day, buying whatever she wants.
Later, he died, and his brother was also arranged to be an official in the distant city, and she moved to Xueyan Valley with her mother. During the New Year's holidays, the valley is also very lively inside and outside the valley, she is still young and has not grown up. Mother doesn't like to go out, so she holds Senior Brother Wu with one hand and Senior Sister Yan with the other, and occasionally the sect master will accompany her, just like a family.
But it's gone, it's gone.
Ruined by a milky boy and an impermanent ghost who was a vegetarian eater.
She doesn't like warm colors, and she can't say that she hates them, but she still feels a little irritated when she looks at the red lotus flowers in the sky. She glanced at Shanhai, his expression was still unwavering, and she didn't know if she still had the meaning of blaming the previous incident in her heart.
That's it, so much.
It was late when I got back to my accommodation. Mu Wan urged Ah Luan to wash her face, and led Miss Qi to place her at the door as usual - she always pulled a stool and invited her to sit next to her. When Ah Luan finally lay on the bed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, I haven't had a crush yet, so I'll start worrying about taking care of the children in the future. She felt that Ah Luan was already worry-freeβalthough she was an adult, she was still a fifteen-year-old girl. I don't know how my father was absent all the year round, how my mother brought them both up. Thinking of this, she suddenly wanted to write a letter home, so she took out a pen and paper and began to sharpen the ink. I have to write another one separately to Guri. I don't know how your brothers and sisters are recovering, and what arrangements are made for daily matters. Senior Brother Wu is Master's favorite, and he is also the second-in-command he personally entrusted. Although Senior Sister Yan has a strong temperament, she is also smart and kind, and she will definitely settle everyone down. Thinking about it like this, it seems that there is no need to ask, just a few words of blessing, and then let you rest assured of yourself.
Master's whereabouts have become a little brow-raising. I've also made some like-minded friends. I heard that the Six Paths of Impermanence Gao Yuejun knows everything and knows everything, and I am on my way to visit her in Qinglize......
As she polished the ink, she thought about how to write in her head. At first, it felt too serious, but it was not good to be too lively. It's easy to write for her mother, she writes a lot in the valley, and she always doesn't read the end.
The snow inkstone valley also puts lanterns on the Chinese Valentine's Day, which is a prayer lantern that flies upwards. She remembered that there were many places, and she didn't know what kind of girl Qi saw before she died. Today, the senior brothers and sisters must have made a wish as usual. Mu Wan could almost think of the warm wishes floating all over the mountains and fields, all hoping that the master would come back.
"That...... What did you write on paper? β
Ah Luan didn't know why he hadn't slept yet. She turned from the bed and looked at the table, her face flushed in the light of the fire.
"It's nothing, naturally I hope to find our sect master and go back to give everyone an explanation."
"You don't have someone you like? I just want to spend Tanabata with him every year. β
"Nope. Yes...... Just like, maybe there is. β
"Huh? Tell me quickly. β
"You don't know you - it's a disciple of our Snow Yan Sect, my senior brother, surnamed Wu. I don't want to spend Tanabata with him, I want others to spend it with him. I was happy to see them so good together. β
"Who is it?"
"My senior sister, we have been playing since childhood. But I'm only small, they're all older. β
"You're weird. The likes I've seen only count if you like yourself. I used to listen to a lot of stories, as well as the monsters I encountered in the mountains and seas, and even the legends told by the flower girl today, the characters in it are not all because I like them too much. β
"That's liking to the person they like, and jealousy to others. I am not jealous of any of them, I like them well. They're all fine, and I think it's good, isn't that a liking? β
Dai Luan seems to understand, but she doesn't seem to understand. She nodded thoughtfully, not knowing what the little brain was thinking.
"Meaning: You like your senior brother, and you like your senior sister, and you don't need your senior brother to like you? Does your brother like her? β
"I think I like it. When I entered the Snow Yan Sect, my age happened to be the same as the deceased daughter of the sect master, and we were similar, and he really treated me like a daughter. My brother and sister were more than a head taller than me, and my sister was still taller than my brother at that time...... But then it couldn't compare. I didn't know so much at that time, I thought he was good-looking, and he had more backbone than my brother - he said that he wanted to avenge the daughter of the sect master, and he worked hardest when he studied, and he was compared with his senior sister everywhere. Senior sister was not convinced, when he took me to play, my senior sister was still practicing and learning, but she was always a little bit behind. But whatever he has to eat and play, he has to share it with us. β
"Then does your senior sister like him?" Ah Luan flattened his hands and rested them on his chin, looking at her with round eyes.
"When my brother took me to play, I always dangled in front of her eyes and called her to come and play, but my sister was attentive and always reprimanded us. The sect master joked that he liked me so much, it was better to set a baby kiss for us, he agreed in front of his senior sister, and I nodded. I thought he was so nice, and it would be great if I could play with him every day. β
"Cut, then you still say she likes it."
"Not really. When I grew up, I figured out that he was angry with my senior sister. But my senior sister was not annoyed that day, so she didn't hear it, and she didn't coax or object. At night, he was in a hurry, pestering my senior sister and saying that not only the two of us play together, but also the two of us when we grow up, and we will not leave her without her. My senior sister laughed, didn't speak after laughing, and continued to practice swords. But I know she likes him too. She actually told me a lot of little secrets, and she didn't let me tell my brother. β
"Were you sad that day?" Ah Luan tilted his face and lay on the back of his hand.
"It's not sad, so little knows what. I was just a little disappointed, thinking that he didn't like me, but when I heard him say that we would grow up and play together, I was happy again. When I reached the age of practicing martial arts, they were a little idle, and I saw them walking together, and I felt that they were a good match. Until now, this mood has not changed. I just hope they can get this up. When I find Master, I will be the first to coax Master and ask Master to arrange a wedding banquet for them. β
"It turns out that you have a senior brother and sister, and an older brother. I thought you were so fierce, an only son who was spoiled. β
"Bah, I'm fierce? How fierce am I. However, you are the county lord of Dailuan City, and when you were a child, you should have older brothers and sisters, right? β
"No, they all died before I was born."
Mu Wan suddenly remembered that her family was not going well. When she was in Jintong Township, she listened to her master. It's just that she didn't expect that she really hadn't even seen a sibling. She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to sayβafter all, Luan's tone didn't particularly care. Also, I haven't seen each other since I was a child, so naturally I don't have any feelings.
"When you were a child, did you still have anyone to play with?"
"I always played alone when I was a kid. My parents were so busy that they didn't let me play with other children. I still have to read, many, many books. I was held by the gentlemen to study in the house, and the children of the family had a great time in the courtyard. Afraid of affecting me, they hid far away, but the voice still came. β
Mu Wan's ink-dipped pen hung in the air and sighed softly.
"What about the mountains and seas?"
"He? A few days after I was born, I was carried up the mountain by my father, and I worshipped a teacher in a daze, and I haven't seen him since. He was only fifteen years old that year, and he was inexplicable. It's nothing more than a picture of the eight characters that are compatible, and the yin and yang are equal, and the worship is over. And then you also know, after giving us a wrench, he continued to cultivate his immortals, and I read my book. In the past two years, there have been a few more lives in the Chengwang Mansion, and my father and mother are not at ease, so they let me go out with him - I am overjoyed. β
"It's so lonely. But did you learn all the common sense of the Yin and Yang Dao from him later? β
"yes, I'm a fast learner. I'm not alone, the carpenter and blacksmith all make gadgets for me, and the family who comes back from a business trip also brings snacks. What impressed me the most was the guest cutler, who stayed in the house for two years. He taught me a lot of swordsmanship, and I learned it too. Hey, I'm also good at sword dancing, and I have a chance to perform for you. β
"Hey, it's you."
"Really!"
"Okay, yes, I believe it. Go to sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow. β
