Chapter 266: See You Again
Su Muling Kuwu Island and his party lasted for more than two months, from early spring February to late spring April, and finally arrived on Kuwu Island.
Kuwu Island is located at the border, the land is barren, the population is sparse, and it is famous for its long and cold winters. Although it is already the season of plumbing flowers in April, Kuwu Island is still covered with snow.
Along the way, the padded jacket I wore in Songjiang was heavy, but I couldn't take it off when I got here. It is said that Kuwu Island has snow for half of the year and wind and sand for three months. It's only when I get here that I feel it.
As soon as Su Muling arrived on the island, he began to inquire about Xiao Wenxuan's residence. But after asking a few people, they shook their heads and said that there was no such person.
Su Mu was surprised, and then looked at the shadowless who was also confused: "What's the matter?" ”
Wuying scratched his head in confusion: "It won't be wrong, the news that Li Feng gave me was on Kuwu Island." ”
"Don't worry, we'll ask again." Wei Huai'an comforted them.
The group continued to walk forward. When he arrived at a place where the population was more concentrated, Wei Huaian pulled a vendor who sold needles and threads.
"Little brother, do you know if a son surnamed Xiao from the capital lives on the island?"
The peddler put down his pick, looked at Wei Huai'an and the others, and asked, "Who are you, and why are you asking about this?" ”
Su Muling saw that this person was cautious, and hurriedly said: "We are from the capital, and Xiao Gongzi is our family. ”
"From the capital?" The peddler glanced at Su Muling again, and then said: "I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong place, we came here some time ago, but it's a pity that his surname is not Xiao." The peddler said that he was about to leave on his shoulder.
Su Muling stepped forward and grabbed him, his eyes flashing: "His surname is not Xiao, his surname is Zhen." ”
The peddler was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Sure enough, it's family, you go along here, until you come to the end of the road in front of you There is a landscape inn, and then go left when you arrive at the inn, about half an hour's journey, you will reach the foot of the mountain." There's a house there, and there's an old pine tree in front of the door, and that's the one you're looking for. ”
"Thank you, little brother." Shadowless brought a tael of silver to the vendor.
The peddler tilted his head disdainfully: "Although I am poor, I am useless." After saying that, he proudly carried the burden and left.
This man...... It's really bold! Wuying accepted the money and praised in his heart.
After inquiring about Xiao Wenxuan's location, everyone got into the car again, and Su Muling sat in the car, staring out the window, his hands clenched, trembling slightly.
"Miss, it's cold." Xichun pulled the quilt from the car onto Su Muling's leg.
Su Muling didn't seem to hear it, and her mind didn't know where to go......
After about half an hour, the car finally stopped.
Su Muling was picked up by Xichun and chopped off his frozen numb feet, and Su Muling walked quickly to the door of the house with some old pine trees.
This is an old mansion, and the courtyard gate has been mottled and lost its color due to disrepair.
"Boom!" Shadowless had already stepped forward to call the door before her.
After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps inside: "Who! ”
Then the door opened, revealing half of Li Feng's body.
When he saw the person standing in front of the door, he shouted in surprise: "Miss Su? The Son? Shadowless, why are you here? ”
Wei Huai'an rubbed his frozen hands, squeezed him away and walked into the house.
"Why can't we come? What about cousins? ”
Li Feng hurriedly opened the courtyard door and let people in.
"Gongzi and Fang Ping went hunting in the mountains, Shizi, Miss Su will come in first, and I will send someone to find it."
"No, get us something to eat first."
Along the way, trekking in the wind and snow, everyone here is extremely tired, and they are just short of a hot meal to lift their spirits.
"Okay! Everyone go into the house, and I will tell them to do it. ”
Li Feng welcomed everyone into the main room, turned around and went out, and after a while, he came in from the outside again, with an extra charcoal stove in his hand.
"It's very cold on this island, Shizi, Miss Su will roast the fire first. Meals were quick and good. ”
At this time, the curtain of the door moved, and a small servant came in from outside, carrying a pot of hot water and pouring tea for everyone.
Su Muling roasted his hands on the fire and looked around. The house was a few years old, the furniture was very old, and the curtains on the door were washed white. It's hard to imagine how Xiao Wenxuan, who has always been clean, could live in such a dilapidated house.
When his fingertips warmed up, Su Muling took off the big curtain and opened the curtain of the east house......
The room is very clean and simple, except for a shelf bed, a wardrobe and a desk, there is no extra furniture. The bed and the bed curtain were old, and a coarse cloth tunic hung from the bedside hanger. On a kang next to the door, there are a few books.
Su Muling walked to the hanger, pulled up the corner of her clothes and put it on the end of her nose, she closed her eyes, the familiar smell filled her brain, and the days of meeting Xiao Wenxuan for the first time appeared in front of her.
Su Muling came to the table with tears in her eyes. On a stretched piece of paper, a poem came into view:
Acacia is like the sea deep, and old things are like the sky. Thousands of teardrops are even more heartbreaking.
If you want to see without a cause, it will be difficult to end up. If there is no fate in the previous life, wait for the reunion and wish in the next life. 3a Reading Network
Su Muling closed her eyes, tears rolling down......
Xiao Wenxuan didn't come back for a long time, Li Feng asked the cook to make hot lo noodles for everyone, and after eating, Li Feng took everyone to the side room to rest.
Su Muling stayed in Xiao Wenxuan's room, leaning on the bed and falling asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Su Muling was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. She sat up straight, straightened her hair, and looked at the door.
The curtain was lifted, and a tall and thin man appeared in the doorway with a chill. The eye sockets are deep, and the lips are tight. A horrific scar on his cheek stretched across half of his face, and gray hair was scattered disheveledly across his face. It was only April, and there were still snowflakes outside, and he only had a coarse cloth jacket on his body, and his feet were covered with snow, and his shoes were half wet.
When he saw the person on the bed, he paused, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes changed.
After a while, he spoke: "Why are you here?" The voice was cold, without a trace of emotion.
"You'an ......"
Su Muling stood up and looked at him as if his heart was about to break. The once high-spirited and suave Prince Ning is now emaciated and old like an old man in his forties or fifties. If it weren't for knowing him for so many years, Su Muling would have thought that he had recognized the wrong person.
"You'an, I'm here to find you." Su Muling's voice trembled.
"You shouldn't have come."
Xiao Wenxuan stared at her, his sunken cheeks thin and terrifying.
"You'an. I know, I know it...... I know you're Xing Zhutou...... I know you've saved me again......" Su Muling couldn't bear it anymore, and threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly.
"Why didn't you tell me...... Why hide it from me......"
Xiao Wenxuan pushed her away and turned his face away, "Don't get me wrong, all I did was to repay you for saving my life." Today, we don't owe each other. From now on, never see each other again. ”
Saying that, Xiao Wenxuan was about to go out.
Where is Su Muling willing to let go, catch up with a few steps and hug his waist from behind and choked: "You'an, don't leave me again, don't leave me again, I'm really sad without you." Come with me, come back to Songjiang with me. We are still like before, we have no official status, do not ask about political affairs, and live the lives of ordinary people quietly. ”
Xiao Wenxuan's body was cold and stiff, and after a while, he grabbed Su Muling's hand and pulled her off his body, his voice was a little colder than the ice and snow outside:
"It's late."
After saying that, he strode out.
"Youan!"
Su Muling screamed miserably behind him and sat on the ground!
On that day, Xiao Wenxuan did not stay with guests, and Li Feng reluctantly took people to the nearest inn to stay.
Blue complained unhappily: "We came all the way to see him, and he was not happy?" Ling'er didn't owe him anything, why did she please him so much? ”
Zheng Sheng blocked his mouth with a piece of dim sum: "You still have the face to say that Miss Su doesn't like you, aren't you cheeky enough to follow him here from Donggu Island?" ”
Blue was deflated and said no more. After a long time, he swallowed something in his mouth and said to Zheng Sheng:
"I do."
Zheng Sheng smiled and ignored him.
"I'm her brother now, and I can't see her wronged." Blue added. Then he took the snack plate back to his room.
……
The winter on Kuwu Island is long, and the time has not yet passed, and the sky is already dark. There are few pedestrians outside, and every house lights up candles, which is also a very beautiful scene in the snowy night.
Su Muling, who had not slept all night, came to Xiao Wenxuan's house with a pomegranate early the next morning.
The door opened yesterday by the little guy who poured tea.
"If you tell your master, you will say that our young lady wants to see him." Pomegranate gets straight to the point.
When the little girl heard this, she didn't go in, but smiled at Su Muling and said, "Miss, my son-in-law is not at home." ”
"Not at home? Where did it go? When will you be back? "Pomegranate speaks like a cannon.
"Childe took Li Feng and Fang Ping away last night, where they went and when they came back, the little one doesn't know."
"What's this? Deliberately avoiding us? "Pomegranate is angry.
Su Muling was not annoyed, but said to the little girl with a smile: "I live in the Sifang Inn, if your son-in-law comes back, please tell me." ”
The little servant looked around, cautiously took out a letter from his arms and stuffed it into Su Muling's hand: "It's cold, Miss, please go back." With that, he shrank his head and closed the door.
Su Muling was stunned for a moment, and then unfolded the letter, which was left by Li Feng. It said that Xiao Wenxuan was afraid that they would reveal their whereabouts and took them out together, but he didn't know where he went and when he would come back.
Well, dodge. Su Muling folded the letter and handed it to Pomegranate.
Pomegranate saw it and stomped his feet angrily: "Miss, we have suffered so much and come here, but he doesn't want to see you." If you want me to say, you will smash his house and set it on fire again, so that he will not be able to get out. ”
Su Muling looked at Pomegranate's violent temper and smiled and reassured: "Your method will only push him farther and farther." Don't worry, as long as he doesn't leave this island, I have a way for him to commit it. ”
