This New Year is spent in the Snow Inkstone Valley. They had been recuperating for a long time, and the others were working on the repair of the sect. Dai Luan subconsciously looked forward to a different New Year. In fact, it is really different, but this "different" is "different" from what she thinks. At least in her heart, this is a lively day when relatives and friends are reunited. Especially if there is no snow in the New Year, it will be even more boring, and in previous years, Chen Xue in Xueyan Valley relied on this time. Slowly, slowly, the snow melted, turning into spiritual power and becoming a part of the valley forever.

It doesn't matter if it's snowing, everyone is busy with all sorts of things. The simplest - if you don't fix the house, this New Year will be leaky. Fortunately, the granary was not affected. Chi Li knew that it was planned by Wu Yuangui, and after looking at it, it was not bad.

She also had broken bones in her body and couldn't move around herself. There is a small two-seater sedan chair that can be carried by two strong young people. This was used by Master She before. Although he rarely shows up, he is either mysterious or flaunting. At first, no one told her who it was, she was simply embarrassed to trouble her classmates, so she had to go on crutches, and Mo Liang hugged her. As a result, both of them tripped halfway through the road and almost didn't break. Someone took out the sedan chair and used it, she shook a little, and a little junior brother said that she leaked her mouth, and she pulled down her face again. As a result, I heard that there was a problem with the accounts of the treasury, and the materials distributed to the disciples every year had been squandered by the previous wicked people, and they had to be reconciled. Chi Li couldn't rush over for a long time, and the others immediately dismantled the colorful decorations on it and turned it into a bare wooden shelf, so she was willing to let people pull it over.

Mu Wan heard this and couldn't help but laugh. The senior next to her whispered, just as stubborn as her father.

But the year has been a very happy one. Although I am busy, it is the sixth day of the new year in a blink of an eye, and there is no New Year's flavor at all. But with the coming and going of relatives and friends from all over the world, there is also a different kind of happiness. Mu Wan is still everyone's little sister, and there is no change from before. But as long as Xi Yu was present, they would call Mu Wan "Senior Sister". She has indeed grown up, and only Xi Yu is keen to help. At first, Shanhai was worried that she was left alone and bullied by others. But seeing that Chi Li is not bad to her, everyone is polite.

It's too late to set up any ceremonies, Chi Li is already the new head in everyone's hearts, and he doesn't even need to prove anything. She had little contact with people, but that doesn't mean she's not good at it. In many things, her decision-making is faster and more effective than Mu Wan, and she is indeed a better candidate.

As for Wu Yuangui, he is probably trapped in an unbreakable barrier forever. He may live or he may die, no one wants to know. Because of the remoteness of that area, no one usually goes there. Mu Wan initially suggested setting it up as a forbidden place, but Chi Li said that there was no need for that, and the more he did this, the more trouble his descendants would get into trouble driven by curiosity. She asked Shanhai to change the layout of the five elements in the outside world, making it more hidden, more difficult to find, and more ...... Difficult to crack from within.

What about Hazuki-kun? She left, and she didn't say hello. The crowd didn't even know when she disappeared into the crowd, and no one remembered what day or moment. At that time, people were immersed in a mixture of joy and sorrow, and there was no time to be distracted. Objectively, she "ran away", but they know who she is. They believe she will come back.

Because Mo Liang is still here, he is still with Chi Li.

The tengu was almost recuperated, at least the strange scars had receded, but the color of his coat was still dull. No one guaranteed that there would be no strange root of the disease, and they all suggested that Mu Wan take her to Xie Hua's house to have a look, and I heard that they had medicine for the incurable diseases of monsters. Mu Wan's mother wants to keep them, at least until next spring. But they couldn't drag it out, and Xie Hualing was still an unstable factor. No one sent a letter during the Chinese New Year, so they used flying birds to pass the book and tell Xie Hua's family about the poison, and asked Ah Ling not to move around at will. I don't know if I have left my relatives when I receive it, and these unknowns make them feel panicked. But the letter did not mention Xie Huayu's death, and they planned to find an opportunity to talk about it when they visited in person.

There was no corpse, it was burned by fire. The remnants of ash were mixed with wood, bricks, and lime, and it was impossible to sift out a whole person. The disciples sorted out her relics and took them away from the mountains and seas. I don't know where her family will bury her, not necessarily Snow Yan Valley, so no one has mentioned the matter of repairing the tomb yet. Chi Li said that she wanted to move her mother's grave from the cloud mirror, make a complete one, and be with her father. I'm going to wait until the beginning of spring to pick a good day to do it.

When the mountains and seas were walking, I saw that a disciple had moved an extra stone. Before the name and inscription were engraved, it arrived. The pit is probably going to have to be dug one more. As for whether the tomb was Chi Li's meaning, or whether it was the idea of the other disciples to discuss, she acquiesced. As for whether it is surnamed Wu, Shanhai didn't ask, and Quan Dang didn't see it. If Mu Wan has a chance to see it, let her inquire for herself.

Mu Wan's mother received a letter from her son Siyan, which was not much different from before. She received this a year ago, and now she took it out to Mu Wan to see. It's just that everything is fine with me, and it's time to send some money and clothes. This year's harvest was very average, and he was no different from a farmer as an official, leading the lazy people to work in the fields every day. A warm current flowed from this calm text, warming the estrangement in her heart again.

Recuperate and pack up your baggage, and when you really set off, it's already the tenth year of the first month. Chi Li and Mo Liang personally sent them out of the mountain, and Xi Yu also stuffed Dai Luan with a lot of snacks for her to eat on the way. There were also many people who accompanied him, and the battle was very large. Everyone's complexion was very good, and Mu Wan couldn't help but recall that when she came out of the valley, almost everyone was lying in the hospital, and no one sent her. Now I have finally made up for this practice. But when she turned around, she vaguely had the illusion of desolation, as if there was no one behind her.

"Don't want to go?" Dai Luan shouted in front.

They are ahead.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Originally, Chi Li was going to prepare horses for them, but they were faster by car and water. It wasn't until he left a long distance and couldn't see anyone when he turned back that Shanhai spoke to Mu Wan. He said sincerely:

"I really wanted you to come, so I didn't agree with them, and persuaded you to stay with your mother. Because we haven't dealt with Xie Hua's family and are not familiar with it, maybe you can only come forward. If it's someone else's business, I'd like you to stay a little longer. Walking with us is tiring, aimless except for important things, but always in a hurry. ”

"It doesn't matter. Nothing, I don't have much to do while I stay. Ikeri is better suited there than me. Who remembers, apart from my master's matter, at the beginning, you actually promised Jiyue-jun to find the ten thousand ghosts for Liangyue-kun. ”

“…… Well. Does that sound like a long time ago? ”

"It's been less than a year."

"Less than a year?"

"No. It was spring when I came out of the valley. ”

"Oh, that's coming soon."

"Yes, soon."

Dai Luan walked in the front and looked at the sky with her head raised. She suddenly felt a chill in her head, stretched out her hand and touched it, feeling a little cold quickly disappear between her fingers. Looking at the sky again, the snow is falling one by one, like a sprinkling pear blossom.

The snow is finally falling.

It took less than ten days to get to Xie Hua's mansion, and it was already mid-February. The weather is warmer, and the air can smell spring. A large row of Xie Hua's door was planted to welcome spring. They opened one after another, scattered golden dots in the dark green, which was very beautiful. As soon as they reached the gate, one of the guards stopped them.

"Miss is not celebrating her birthday this year, so let's visit again at another date."

"Wait a minute, the young lady you are talking about, is it Miss Ling?"

The guard in the witch suit looked them up and down and asked:

"Didn't you come for your birthday? Those who do not have a letter from the head of the house are not allowed to enter. ”

"No, we sent a letter......

"Listen to me—"

Mu Wan interrupted Shanhai and walked in front of him. The guard recognized Xue Yanzong's clothes and hesitated. She explained, and the guard turned to report to the master. As soon as he walked on the front foot, a top shift came on the back foot, just in case they took advantage of the opportunity to sneak in. Shanhai accosted the second person, he had a better temper, but he was also very stern. After a little inquiry they were told, they learned that they had received the letter. And it is said that as soon as Xie Hualing came back, someone in the family saw the problem.

"That big brother said just now, Ah Ling has passed his birthday?" Dai Luan asked him.

"Yes. In order to prevent the kind of Gu poison you said from not being able to disperse, the head of the family did not let her come into contact with anyone. She also had a bad temperament when she returned...... To this day, when asked about her sister, she doesn't say a word, only that everything is fine. She was also very busy in previous years, and often forgot to reply to her home. ”

Shanhai secretly thought, I am afraid that Ah Ling is threatened, and he doesn't dare to say a word. In this way, it will be more difficult for them to tell the truth. Dai Luan let out a sigh. It's different from what it used to be, it has a little more weight and doesn't feel like a child's play anymore. It's like a real, grown-up lament.

"How's she sick? What are the signs of contagion? ”

"Not really. Miss's complexion and amount of food are not very good, but she should eat and drink, and no one is affected. ”

"That's good. I didn't bring her any gifts, only snacks from the Snow Yan Sect. ”

"Thank you for that."

Dai Luan turned around and said, "My birthday is coming soon. ”

Shanhai said: "For the first time this year, I won't celebrate my birthday at home." I'm afraid that there is nothing to give you as a teacher. ”

"Who said that. I used to be in the hospital with Ruyuejun, and I should have taken a photo. ”

She didn't ask for any more gifts. She used to have to. Just standing in front of Xie Hua's door, she suddenly didn't want it anymore.

They waited for a long time, and they didn't know how big Xie Hua's family was. Although the sun is not hot, the light is very strong, and the sun hurts the eyes. They returned to the side and stood in the shade of the tree for a long time, and the first one came. He softened his attitude and agreed to lead them in, but his face was grim.

"The head of the house has agreed to your coming. You are lucky today, he took his entourage a few days ago and ran around in major medical halls and pharmacies, and he rested today. It's just that...... I made a special trip to the side room to find the lady through the door and said, she was silent for a long time, and suddenly made a fuss, saying that no one was seen. ”

"I don't understand." Shanhai said frankly.

“…… She made a fuss for a while and said, I didn't dare to see it. ”

"Hmm...... Then we know. It's okay, it's good to see her father. ”

After obtaining permission, Dai Luan was the first to rush into the courtyard gate. Xie Hua's courtyard is very magnificent, all kinds of seasonal flowers are blooming, although there are no bees and butterflies, you can already hear the birds. Dai Luan was fresh for a while, and then her face sank again. Thinking that Xie Hualing could only hide in a remote hut and not go out, and could not see the peaceful scenery of late winter and early spring, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Mu Wan asked Shanhai in a low voice: "When is Ah Luan's birthday?" ”

"Hmm...... April 28, the middle of the unitary hour. ”

Mu Wan pinched his fingers and calculated, frowning.

"She's ...... The four pillars are pure yin? ”
