Chapter 342: Waiting in vain
After a long time, I came to my senses. At this time, the woman's figure had disappeared in front of me. I thought back to the time when the woman passed me just now, and the smell on her body was indeed exactly the same as Qing Yao's, and I believe I would not be wrong.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I have found the right place. If you think well, I think Qingyao should not be very far from here.
Suddenly, I felt like my brain was running out of ideas. If I had followed the white-haired woman just now, wouldn't I have been able to find Qing Yao, and I wouldn't have to wait here. When I think about it, I feel stupid.
But now, the woman has left, and now she doesn't know where to go.
"Well, I wish she would come here again tomorrow." I shook my head helplessly and muttered to myself.
Then, I walked slowly in the direction of the pavilion. As time passed, I also slept in this pavilion all night.
The next day, just as it was dawning, I opened my eyes and looked around. I saw that on the surface of the lake, occasionally one or two pairs of waterfowl flew by in pairs. They skimmed over the lake, and there was a ripple on the surface of the lake.
I slowly closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I turned my head and glanced in the direction of the wooden bridge, I hope to see the woman again today, so that I can find my Qingyao.
And just like that, I started to wait here and on. During this day, I never left the pavilion, let alone eat. Fortunately, there was some water in the kettle on my body.
But when night came, the white figure did not appear. After that, I went out and walked around the neighborhood, but I didn't find any inhabited houses or caves.
I didn't gain anything, so I had to go back to the pavilion in the end. Continue to wait here, waiting for the woman to appear. I don't believe in my fate with Qing Yao, it's over, and I always think about the moment we met.
And so I waited here for three days. In the past three days, the woman in white has not reappeared. And I only look for some wild fruits to eat when I am hungry.
Finally, on this night, a white carrier pigeon flew towards me. The pigeon landed on the wooden bridge on the side, and I went over and took the letter off the pigeon's leg.
When I opened the letter, I realized that it was written to me by the man in black. The general content of it is to tell me to hurry up, and we have to go to my master.
I put the letter away after reading it, and I released the pigeon again. I took a deep breath and looked into the distance again.
I walked back into the pavilion, I looked at the lake, took out my flute, and played it again. The song is still so bleak, and there is a little bit of disappointment at this time.
When I finished the song, I put away my flute and turned and walked towards the wooden bridge.
As I was just walking onto the wooden bridge, I suddenly faintly heard some sounds coming from the woods on the shore.
"Sand ...... Rustle......"
I frowned slightly, and ran in the direction of the noise. Just as I started running, there was a sound of running footsteps in the woods.
When I heard the sound, my footsteps became even faster. I hadn't gone far before I saw a white figure disappear behind a tree.
I hurried after it, but when I ran behind the tree, it was empty. Behind this tree, there is nothing at all.
But I just saw that the white figure disappeared behind the tree, and I didn't see the white figure running out, so why did the figure disappear out of thin air.
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, and then I walked around the area, but I still didn't find anything. But I didn't believe the figure had disappeared so quickly, and I thought it must have been nearby.
Then, I shouted around, "I know you're around here, come out of here." ”
There was no response around, just my voice echoing around me.
I shook my head helplessly and said to myself, "I just want to find Qingyao and find the person I love." I don't have too high a request, I just wish I could find her, is this really too much? I know that it was because I ignored Qing Yao because I was bent on revenge, which caused Qing Yao to be arrested by Zhang Xiu.
But I really knew that I was wrong, I just wanted to bring Qing Yao back to me. It's been so long, can't Qing Yao really be able to forgive me? ”
As I spoke, I sat down helplessly on the ground.
I looked up through the gap in the trees and into the night sky.
After a moment, I continued to open my mouth and muttered to myself, "I still remember when I went up to the Wendao Gate with Qing Yao, before going there, we experienced the life we wanted to live in that village for a day. Honestly, it was a really great feeling. It's just that we only experienced that kind of life for one day. After that, I noticed that my heart changed little by little. The existence of Qing Yao, which I began to ignore, is precisely because of this that there is something later. ”
There was still no response around, and it was still quiet.
I reached out and pulled a piece of cloth out of my bosom. I opened the cloth and there was a broken hairpin lying inside.
"I personally bought this hairpin for Qing Yao, but it was left to me after Qing Yao left. I knew Qing Yao didn't want to see me. I also know you're around here. My master still needs me, and I can't stay here anymore. I left the hairpin here, hoping that you can help me transfer it to Qing Yao.
Please tell her that I, Wang Chuyan, only love her alone in my life. With that, I slowly rewrapped the hairpin and put it aside.
After a few moments, I got up with a long sigh and walked off into the distance. It's just that my pace is very slow and slow, and I really hope that Qing Yao will suddenly appear next to me, maybe it's just an idea of mine.
Finally, I walked to the edge of the woods. During this period, the woman in white and Qing Yao did not appear.
I stopped, turned and glanced into the woods behind me, and I smiled wryly and turned to continue walking forward.
However, as I walked, a white figure appeared in the depths of the woods not far away. The white figure, full of white hair. She was the woman in white I had seen earlier.
The woman was holding in her hand a piece of cloth that I had placed under the tree. The woman slowly opened the cloth, and a broken hairpin lay quietly inside.
The woman's eyes were slightly red, and she looked up at me. Then, her left hand slowly lifted, and she actually took off the face towel she was wearing.
The moment the woman's face was revealed, if I were present, I would definitely recognize her at a glance, she was Qing Yao.
It's just that Qingyao is not as beautiful and moving as before, and there are a lot of snake scales on her left face. And her hair was completely snow-white at this time.
Qing Yao looked at my back, and a line of tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes.
"Chu Yan, I love you too. Only...... It's just that I'm no longer the same person I used to be, and our fate is really over. Let's forget about this, this ...... It's good for you and good for me. Hope...... Hopefully, in the future, you will meet a better one. Qing Yao said while looking at my back.
It's just that I didn't hear all this. And I was still walking towards the top of the mountain.
When I couldn't walk, I stopped and lay on the ground. The moonlight sprinkled on my face, and I slowly closed my eyes, thinking about Qing Yao's appearance in my mind.
Suddenly, a sour feeling echoed in my heart. It was sour and astringent, and it made me very uncomfortable.
"Sand ...... Rustling ......" suddenly came from the grass on one side.
I hurriedly turned my head to look into the grass, and I saw that the grass was shaking. It was as if something was moving closer to me.
I'm going to sit up, and I'm going to put all my attention on that bush.
A moment later, a green snake's head suddenly protruded from the grass. As soon as the snake appeared, it looked at me with its big round eyes, and then swam to my feet, rubbing its head against my feet.
I looked at the snake suspiciously, then picked it up with my hand. When I put the snake in the palm of my hand and looked closely, I noticed that there were two crimson lines in the corners of the snake's eyes.
I suddenly remembered that at that time I remember the man in black had spoken to me. This little snake of mine was taken away by Qing Yao, so this little snake just ran out with me.
Thinking about it this way, Qing Yao was near me just now.
Suddenly, the little snake fell to the ground along my hand, and the little snake flipped twice, and then swam away into the woods. It hadn't gone far before it stopped and looked back at me. It was as if he was motioning for me to follow it.
I glanced at the little snake and hurried to follow. But the little snake was so small, and the light was so dim, and it was in the grass. So, I walked very slowly, very slowly.
But fortunately, the little snake didn't go far and stopped and waited for me. I'm just right enough to keep up.
And just like that, we walked back into the woods one after the other.
However, the direction in which the little snake took me this time was not the direction of the pavilion. Instead, they walked in the other direction, and the surrounding grass could actually smell a faint fragrance of flowers, and wild flowers began to appear on the grass.
In this way, I continued to follow the little snake towards the front.
Soon after, the trees around suddenly decreased, but the fragrance of the flowers around them became more and more intense. I took a deep breath, then looked for the snake and followed.
We hadn't gone far when I faintly saw a house in the distance. The house was made of wood, and there was a fence around the perimeter of the house. Directly in front of the house, there is a path. A short distance further on, there is a stream.
The little snake stopped at this point, and he looked back at me, and then at the wooden house.
I put my hand on the ground, and the little snake followed my hand and skimmed into my sleeve. I looked at my sleeve and thought to myself, I've been separated from the little snake for a while, but this little snake hasn't grown up.
But this doesn't matter, the place where the little snake brought me, I wonder if it will be the place where Qing Yao is.
I forcibly suppressed my excitement and walked towards the fence wall step by step.
Although this distance is not very far, but in my eyes now, I feel that this distance seems to be a long, long distance.
Finally, I walked into the courtyard. I stood in the courtyard and looked around, and when I looked into the house, I saw that there was no light in it.
Without any hesitation, I went straight to the door of the house and gently pushed it open with my hand. The moment the door was pushed open, a faint fragrance entered my nose.
