Chapter 138: Enlightenment
For many years to come, there were always people who said that the snow came very early that year, and it was covered in silver, shrouding the entire White Earth City in a white vastness.
The road was slippery in the snow, and the driver had to be cautious, for fear that one of the masters behind him would accidentally fall and his job would be gone.
It was the first day of the first snowfall, and a horse-drawn carriage from the west was slowly moving in the direction of Huanhuayuan, and the snow on the ground was not too thick, but a thin layer, and in a short time it turned into snow and flowed into various ravines.
The carriage stopped at the back door of the Huanyuan Garden, and a woman in a red cloak came down, and when her slender fingers were raised, a pair of emerald green bracelets were revealed.
There was a familiar guy on the side, and when he saw the woman, he was also surprised, and then he came back to his senses and called respectfully, "Three girls." โ
The woman said hello to each other, went into the garden, went round the corridor, stopped outside a hut, pushed open the door, and another woman waited.
I couldn't tell if it was loss or relief, Liang Tian, who entered the door, said in an indifferent tone, "It turned out to be you." โ
The woman sitting in the room was baking the stove, and in her silver bell-like voice, she smiled stupidly, "Wouldn't it be better if it was me?" โ
Liang Tian didn't laugh with her, unbuttoned his cloak, hung it aside, and stretched out his hand to bake the fire.
"It was still a sunny day a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to snow today, this snow can come so fast, and I don't know if the poor Wang Dongjia can survive it." Like a homely affair, the woman said casually.
Seeing that Liang Tian's hand was obviously stunned, and then it was burned by the stove, making a 'hiss' sound, and the woman knew that there was a drama in her heart.
Liang Tian withdrew his hand, took out a letter from his cuff, put it on the table, and asked, "What do you mean by sending someone to bring me this?" โ
"We are all people in the dark, and I will fulfill each other." The woman laughed.
Liang Tian glanced at the woman, then thought of what he had seen outside Huai'an's house before, and asked, "Is that person you?" โ
"I thought you knew." In a natural tone, Liang Tian also understood Huai'an's previous abnormal things, but recently, Huai'an didn't say anything, and took Mrs. Zhang home. At this time, he still came to find himself, is he looking forward to being the person who will be the matchmaker and secretly cross Chen Cang.
Liang Tian naturally won't do such things, no matter what the relationship with Mrs. Zhang is, this week Ling'er and Liang Tian have been on the same page since they were children, and when they were literate with the same teacher, there were no fewer conflicts, but she was very good at being coquettish with Huai'an, and it was always herself who suffered in the end.
"You can go to someone else about this, I can't do anything for you." It was because he called himself out for such a boring thing, Liang Tian was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, so he took his cloak and turned around to leave.
Zhou Ling'er saw that Liang Tian was leaving, so she immediately got up and said, "You really raised yourself in the boudoir, don't you want to ask about this garden anymore." โ
"So what?"
Zhou Ling'er saw that people didn't eat this, and said again, "What if I say that Wang Siming is about to die." โ
The man who was about to go out was suddenly stunned and said in a somewhat trembling voice, "What does that have to do with me." โ
Zhou Ling'er took a step forward, leaned on Liang Tian's shoulder, and said softly, "The third girl's expression doesn't seem to be unrelated, this thing has happened for half a month, don't you even have a little rumor?" โ
"What do you want to do?" Liang Tian still had his back to her and said.
Zhou Ling'er sat back again, took a sip of tea, and said to Liang Tian, "Sit, what I want has always been very simple, but there are not many conditions that can impress the third girl, I don't know if what I have in my hands counts." โ
Liang Tian also sat down, poured himself a cup of tea to warm his body, and said, "I advise you not to think about it, you two have to continue like this, and there should be action at home." Although the Zhang family is not a big family, there are many relationships in this Baidi City, and the family will not offend that side for you. โ
"I don't care! I was the one who died once, God have mercy on me, let me come back, and I won't be at your mercy again. It's the third girl, I haven't made my conditions yet, and you refuse me, isn't it too anxious? Zhou Linger said.
"Say what's there?" Liang Tian doesn't have much trust in the person in front of her, she has been very good at lying and deceiving people since she was a child, playing several people around, and snickering behind her back.
"I thought you would be more interested in this garden, judging by your reaction just now, you should be more concerned about that Wang Siming, but the people around you hide it from you so deeply, he has disappeared for almost a month, and you still don't know at all, and you don't know whether he is alive or dead."
Since Mincheng came back, Liang Tian has indeed been looked down on, not to mention going to see Siming, even any other news related to him has been isolated outside, and he can go to Tongcheng only because the old man acquiesced to understand the affairs of the Liang family.
Zhou Ling'er, who came out suddenly, is not a credible person, not to mention the evil deeds before, this time she already knows her current situation, and the possibility of deceiving herself is also very high.
But after thinking about it, if she was to be stirred into this muddy water, it would not be a way out, so he said, "His business has nothing to do with me, but the matter of the garden, how far can you go?" โ
Zhou Ling'er was a little surprised that Liang Tian's face suddenly changed, obviously just now he was only a little shaken by Wang Siming, and at this time he took the initiative to seek a garden with him, but with a response, he had a helper in the Liang family, and everything was not passive.

The wind and snow in the mountains have always come earlier, a few days before the first snow in Baidi City, it has already fallen, less than half a day, the continuous mountains have been white, pedestrians on the road have to find a place to shelter from the wind and snow to rest, and wait for a sunny day to go.
Less than a hundred miles away from Baidi City, there is a remote village, there is no one in the village, only some houses that have not collapsed are standing in the wind and snow, and some wild dogs are collecting some wild food to eat.
In a corner on the east side of the village, there was a pedestrian who had not yet wrapped himself in a cotton jacket, squatting under the base of the wall and shivering, hiding from the wind and snow, and the fire that had been lit at night was getting less and less warm.
Compared with the cold, the wound on the pedestrian's arm was even more terrifying, the blood stain on his hand had turned black, and the wound was only simply bandaged, and when there was a bump, bright red blood flowed out.
It has been half a month since Siming came out of White Land City, and the road to the beginning was quite smooth. On the fifth day, they were suddenly ambushed, and a group of horseback riders who did not know where they came from, could not help but say that they wanted to take the lives of Siming and the others.
Siming had some kung fu, so he could protect himself, and after rolling out of the carriage, he fought with those people, but unfortunately the coachman was unlucky, and he died there at that time, and the injury on Siming's arm was also cut when he wanted to save him.
It took a lot of effort for Siming to snatch a horse from a man, gallop away, and flee day and night to this deserted village, where it was snowing and had to stay here.
As the weather got colder and colder, Siming dragged his left hand and added some dry firewood to the fire to make the fire burn more vigorously. The dry food on the horse's back was gone, and the luggage was lost in the carriage, and Siming had to think about how to get to the house of the man who had surplus food.
Since that day, he was chased and fled into the path, Siming left the road of Tong'an farther and farther, although he was also trying to go back in the past two days, but he did not dare to get too close to the road, for fear that the group was still looking for him, and there was no longer anything to resist at that time.
When the wind and snow were a little smaller, Siming led the horse and continued on the road, the snow was vast along the way, and there were no pedestrians rushing to see it, nor could it see the smoke curling. When he was chased a few days ago, Siming was still a little in a hurry, and at this time, he couldn't go to the village in front of him, he couldn't go to the store in the back, and when there was only one person left in the world, he felt unbearable.
Then walked along the path for two or three miles, on a big road, there was still no figure, Siming was tired of walking, and climbed on the horse again, his arm ached faintly, and there was no food in his stomach to support, so he had to lie on the horse's back, still walking forward by it, all the way in a muddy nightmare, and I don't know how long it took before I felt the sound of horses' hooves.
Siming has been walking alone for many days, and he has long been unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, and when the sound of the horse's hooves stopped beside Siming, he didn't notice it, his eyes were half-open, he looked at the woman who slapped his face, and smiled stupidly, "It turned out to be you, in my dream." โ
The woman only saw Siming open his mouth and muttering something, but she didn't hear him clearly at all, seeing that his lips were thirsty, she asked her subordinates to bring a kettle, and wanted to pour some into Siming's mouth, but she couldn't pour it.
There was no place for him to rest, and the woman was anxious, and ordered someone to help him down, and leaned on herself to barely feed him some water. Maybe he hadn't drunk water for a long time, but Siming, who was confused, didn't resist at all, and drank it with a grunt.
Waiting until half a pot of water was underwater, Siming was a little sober, looked up at the woman in front of him, closed his eyes and said, "I'm really in a dream." โ
The woman heard these words clearly, and when she saw that the person was also conscious, she was not polite, she pinched Siming's face fiercely, and said loudly, "Now, do you feel like you're in a dream again?" โ
The pain on Siming's arm was far more painful than being pinched on his face, and he didn't feel anything, he still leaned on the woman, closed his eyes and rested.
The usual Siming was not this reaction, the woman was also panicked, and when she was about to go to shake Siming, she saw the injury on his arm at a glance, and touched the clothes on his body, but it was still single, and the temperature on his face was a few degrees hotter than his own.
The woman was secretly annoyed, blaming herself for being so forgetful for a while, so she didn't notice these things, so she asked someone to bring a cloak to wrap Siming, and then changed a horse to carry Siming, and the group continued to go north.
On the snowy road, the further the group walked, the darker the road became, until the black fog completely covered the entire sky, and there was a glimmer of flickering lights ahead.
