Episode 5 No Return (1)

One

When the luggage is complete, you are about to go down the mountain, the future is boundless, life and death are uncertain, and you are not afraid because of your faith.

Luo Xin came to see me off, and since that embarrassing incident, we have been avoiding each other: if he helps run the hall, I will try to stay in the room; If he stands at the top of the counter, I will go to the kitchen to help, and after careful calculation, it has been a long time since I have spoken a good word face-to-face, and this time he is willing to come to see off, must have been entrusted by his hostess.

Luo Xin had a cold face, and reluctantly handed me a sachet, saying that Miao Jiang is more poisonous, and this sachet contains seven anti-poison pills at the bottom of the flower boss's box, and a fast horse has been prepared for me outside the city, and dry food and water are also on the horse's back.

I smiled and said that Boss Hua is thoughtful and proper, beautiful and tasteful, and if you are looking for a wife, you will find her like this, let him work harder, so that I will have fewer competitors. Luo Xin finally couldn't hold back, and scolded that he had seen someone who didn't hold grudges and didn't put things aside, but I really haven't seen someone who is as free and generous as me and can talk to the most harmful party, am I not angry or hateful?

I didn't answer his question, waved at him, saddled up, and galloped away.

The horse is a good horse, tall and with a flowing mane, snow-white fur without any variegation, long and powerful legs, and galloping like a gallop, but without much ups and downs, quite steady. This white horse is also very spiritual, no need to whip as long as a few gently pat its neck, you can know how to let it run fast, if you want it to stop, just hold the reins and don't move, and you won't raise your hooves and neigh.

In your life, have you ever been obligated to do it for anyone?

Lying on horseback, watching the mountains and rivers and plants fly by one by one, the cold wind blows the stinging pain on the face, and it is rare to have such a time to run around and work hard since entering the Luo Shen Palace, I can't help but think of the former killer career, cruel, bloody and often life and death, at that time the anger and murder were like an invisible black gas enveloping the whole body, always exuding a terrible aura that no one can approach, and now this easy-going and free Buddha light shines on himself, it really seems to be reborn.

Am I really not angry, really not hate? No, when I just knew that Hua Xiangrong calculated me like this, especially when I regarded her as a friend and a sister to trust me with my heart, I really hated it, and I wanted to kill her, but I am no longer the killing machine I was at the beginning, I will calm down and think: You might as well look at things the other way around, although after she did this, Luo Xin and I went from good buddies to an embarrassing group, making Zhu Xiyu half angry, and I ended up with a knot in the meridians, but if it weren't for this, how could a century-old problem surface early, and it would have to face it in the future, It's better to make your choice now. But Zhu Xieyu did not avoid me and gave up on me, for my lifelong "luck" and resolutely took risks, how can I live up to this deep affection, not so much that we were troubled by him, but that we were more sure of our feelings.

Of course, it is difficult for a Buddha to be grateful to her, and all I can do is not hate her.

Galloping non-stop for three days, into a mountain road on the border of Sichuan and Shu, the terrain is undulating, the speed of the horses has slowed down a lot, and finally is blocked by a continuous and steep mountain range, only from the halfway up the mountain is covered by snow, the tip is towering into the clouds, I heard that the boundary between me and the seedling is a Hengduan mountain range, I want to come to the front of this is Biluo Snow Mountain.

For a long time, I have not been in such a continuous hurry, I have obviously felt that my physical strength is not enough, and I am surrounded by wind and dust, and I believe that the horse has slowly descended a slope by the reins, and suddenly I heard the sound of a stream, and my heart is happy to pat the horse's head to signal it to go quickly, and the white horse has walked more than two miles along a bald path on the grass, and a long and narrow winding stream gradually appears, I raised my eyes and looked upstream, there are three old pines standing on the verdant, covering a thatched eaves house, and there is a red lantern hanging from one corner, and the word "tea" is written.

This is undoubtedly a very attractive place for me who is sleepy and tired at the moment, busy urging the horse to go quickly, to the hut has smelled the wisps of tea, but not like the barren mountain shop to make up the inferior tea, but a mellow and warm sweet fragrance, more and more hungry, the white horse left it to eat grass and drink water on its own, I walked across the stream and built a short section of bamboo bridge, to the tea house.

Although the tea house is simple but very clean, clean so that I am very uncomfortable as a dusty visitor, the shopkeeper is an old man in gray cloth, his beard and hair are white, his skin is very white, and he can't see a little old age spot, and his wrinkles are also very shallow. There is another bamboo curtain behind him, and it can be vaguely seen that there is a man in white kneeling inside, with complete cooking utensils in front of him, and he is engrossed in making tea, which should be the old man's own family.

"This guest officer, please sit inside!" The old man actually led me into the house with a smile in his official dialect, as if he intended to point me to a good position by the window far from the door.

"Guest officer, this is a place for us to stop in the mountains and villages, only plain noodles and vegetarian steamed buns, old leaf tea, don't dislike you if you are from a big place."

I thought to myself that this old man knew people, so I smiled and said, "Eat whatever you have, even if you come up, I am still in a hurry." ”

The old man nodded again and again and went to buy it, I will look around, there are nothing more than some merchants who have passed to dump goods, local people who are walking in Sichuan, eating and drinking by themselves, which is not a good thing at all.

This window looks out to the west of the tea house, connected with a red, orange and green woods, from which the stream gushes down, and further on is a white mist, faintly a few pieces of scorching peach powder shine in it, as if it is another place independent of this earthly world.

"Guest officer, your tea and food are ready, please use it slowly!"

I nodded to the old man and looked over the table: a basket of four white steamed buns, a bowl of noodles (symbolically placed with two green vegetables and three slices of radish), two side dishes (all unknown wild vegetables that I had never seen), and a bowl of tea (faintly smoky, not as sweet as I had smelled before).

It's really a good widow, but at this moment, it's not my turn to pick, I picked up the steamed bun and took a bite, it was extraordinarily soft and slightly cheesey; Stir a mouthful of noodles and put it in your mouth, it is also full of strength, and the seasoning of the noodle soup can be described as delicious; Although the smell of small wild vegetables is overwhelming, it tastes quite appetizing and refreshing.

Incredible, unbelievable, such a small field shop can make such exquisite and ingenious food, it is really unexpected, I don't feel that my appetite is great, I can't care about the image to gobble up, but when I drink that big sip of tea, I was disappointed, not only slightly sour and astringent, but I can't spit it out, I choked after forcibly swallowing, and coughed again and again.

"**, since you already know that the visitor is good, why do you still entertain you with muddy tea!"

The man in white behind the bamboo curtain spoke, his voice was young and magnetic, revealing a condescending arrogance.

"Isn't it that the little one doesn't dare to disturb you making tea, nor dare to make the guests wait too long!" The old man was very respectful and polite to this young man, and it seemed that this young man seemed to be too good a shopkeeper.

"Come in and take out this floating pearl honey I just made and give it to her, and count it as what I invited her to drink."
