Chapter 266: The Master Finds It
"Chu ...... Chu Yan, you ...... You laughed. Susan pointed at me.
I hurriedly smiled and took it back, then walked to the bench and swept the snow from it, and sat down.
Susan walked up to me and sat down and said, "It's been a year and a half since you've been back, and it's the first time I've seen a smile on your face in a year and a half. And it's obviously nice to laugh, why do you pretend to be cold. ”
I didn't speak, just quietly watching the snowflakes fall from the sky.
Looking at these falling snowflakes, I am reminded of the night I was at the cemetery. It was also snowing heavily that night, and several ghosts surrounded me to suck my yang energy, and at that moment a big snake rushed out, and it was the big snake that saved me.
Thinking of this, I shook my head helplessly.
In the past year and a half, I have tried to forget Qingyao many times, or I want to forget that emotion, but it doesn't seem to be useful. And I only use alcohol every day to numb myself.
And in the past year and a half, Susan has also learned who I really am. Naturally, she and the people in the village also knew about asking the door to find me, but they didn't hand me over.
A year ago, the Askomen came to look for me several times, but the villagers and Susan's family did not say they had seen me and hid me. That's exactly what I've been drinking here for a year and a half.
And in the past few months, the limelight of looking for me out there has passed. Many people rumored that I was dead, but some Taoist priests who were connected to the underworld did not find out my soul in the underworld. Some people also say that after my death, my soul is eaten by evil spirits, so there is no soul in the underworld. Some people also said that I did not die, but was saved by the Ghost Eye Monk again, so I saw through the red dust and followed the Ghost Eye Monk to the end of the world.
And I was just like that, forgotten by the people of the Daomen in this short period of a year and a half.
I looked up at the snowflakes in the sky, and then I thought for a moment, it has been three years since the head of the Dao Sect was killed by me. Now that I think about it, I can't help but sigh at how quickly this time has passed.
In the past year and a half, I haven't gotten any news about Qing Yao and Shangguan Xuanmu. But even if you get it, maybe the two are married now.
"Chu Yan, what do you want?" Susan asked, turning to look at me.
But as always, I didn't say a word.
Susan was also accustomed to it, and then turned her head to look at the snowflakes in the sky and said, "Chu Yan, my father told me about marriage last night." I told my dad and I said I wanted to marry you. But my dad didn't seem to be very willing, but he didn't object. ”
I still didn't sleep a word, still looking up at the snowflakes falling slowly in the sky.
"I know, you've been missing that Qing Yao. Maybe between you, I'm just a third person in the middle, and I know that's not right. But I really like you, but don't worry, I won't force you, and if I can be with you like this every day, I'll be content. After saying that, a sweet smile appeared on Susan's face.
I don't know why, when I heard Susan's words. I felt so bad that suddenly I couldn't even feel sorry for Susan.
"Susan, Chu Yan, the meal is ready, hurry back and eat." Susan's mother shouted in the house.
"Let's go, let's go eat." Susan said as she took my hand and walked into the room.
When it was time to eat, Susan's family still ate quietly, and they would still put food into my bowl from time to time.
After the meal, I went back to my room, still holding the flask and pouring it into my mouth. Soon after, I fell asleep again.
And in my sleep, it's also when I'm not thinking about it, and it's also my quietest time. I have also been using this method to escape my thoughts about Qing Yao.
The next day, near noon, I was still asleep.
"Squeak...... My door was suddenly pushed open.
Then I saw Susan rush in, and she woke me up and said, "No...... Oh no, someone said it was your master, and he had already found it. I...... I'm afraid it's a fake from those who ask the Daomen, you...... Hide now. ”
I frowned, then looked at Susan and said, "Forget it, even if it's someone who asks the Daomen, what can it be." You can't hide anymore, so you don't know how to face it directly. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, I pulled out the golden sword I had been lying under my pillow for a year and a half.
Then I walked slowly to the courtyard, where the snow was still falling. Snowflakes fell on my clothes one by one, and in a short time my body was covered with a layer.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the direction of the courtyard gate, and when the figure appeared, I was stunned. Because what appeared in front of me was really a master I hadn't seen for three years.
In the same way, the master looked at me and froze in place.
At this time, the golden sword in my hand fell directly into the snow, and the master walked slowly towards me step by step.
"Don't take Chu ......," at this time, Susan's father rushed out of it with a hammer.
But when he saw the two of us, he also looked at me and my master in a daze. Moments later, he returned to the room with the hammer.
"Slap ......" When the master came to my side, a crisp slap rang out on my cheek.
After the slap, I slowly knelt down. Tears flowed out at this moment, maybe I will always be a child who doesn't grow up in front of the master, and I will always be a fool in the village who runs behind the master's ass.
"Division...... Master...... Woo woo...... "I hugged my master's waist and cried.
After a long time, the master slowly squatted down and hugged me and said, "Rabbit cub, for ...... You are looking for a teacher...... It's so bitter. ”
The master's eyes also turned red at the moment, and I knew that the master had been suppressing his emotions. And I also accidentally found that the master's hair has also turned white in these short three years.
At this time, there was no longer a single strand of black hair on the master's head. It's only been three years, and the master seems to have aged by more than ten years all of a sudden.
In this way, I don't know how long I cried while holding my master. It was as if I had cried all the pain in my heart for the past year and a half at this moment.
After a long time, the master grabbed me by the shoulder and said, "Rabbit cub, you know how sad my heart was when I heard that you were dead. I'm about to turn the floor over to find you. But there has been no news of you, not even your body. ”
"Two, why don't you go inside the house and say, it's a little cold outside." Daddy Susan came out and looked at me and the master and said.
I hurriedly looked at the master and said, "Let's go, master, let's go into the house." ”
After saying that, I helped the master to walk towards the house, and the master followed me towards the house. After entering the house, Susan's father poured a bowl of water for me and the master.
"Bunny, how have you spent the past year and a half?" The master looked at me and asked.
I glanced at the master, and then told the master about my situation for the past year and a half. But I didn't mention Qingyao, I just said that I had been drinking non-stop.
The master didn't ask me why I was drinking, but turned to Susan's father and said, "I'm really sorry, the apprentice has caused trouble to the two heavens." ”
"It's okay, if it weren't for Chu Yan, maybe our daughter and us would have died a long time ago. No matter how you say it, Chu Yan is also the lifesaver of our whole village and our family. Susan Daddy looked at the master and said.
After that, the two of us chatted word by word, and I sat quietly on the side.
"Chu Yan, come over here." Susan's voice came from outside the door.
I glanced at Master and Susan's father, and then walked out. When I walked out, I saw that Susan's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried.
"What's wrong Susan, you seem to be crying?" I looked at Susan and asked.
Susan looked at me, forced a smile and said, "No...... No, I don't. ”
"Look at you, you see that the master is still this bearded man, I'll help you clean it up." Susan looked at me and continued.
I looked at her, then nodded.
After that, I followed Susan into my room. Susan put me on the bed, and then she helped me apply a hot cloth to my cheeks. Then she used a sharp knife to help me shave my beard little by little.
"As soon as I saw your appearance, I knew that that person was really your master. And I know that soon we will be separated again. Seriously, I'm reluctant to let you go, or I don't want you to leave me. But I know that you are not mine.
In your life, I'm ...... Always just a passerby. And in my life, you are a person I will never forget. Maybe we are really fated to have no part, we met in a hurry, and now we are in a hurry to separate.
I don't have much to say, so I just wish you and Qingyao can come together. With my blessings, I hope you can go further. Susan said slowly as she helped me shave.
During this time, I didn't say a word. Or rather, I don't know what to say.
For Susan, I felt that I owed her, but there was no place for her in my heart.
Just as Susan had shaved the last strand of her beard, a tear fell on my lips and then into my mouth.
The teardrops are a little salty and a little bitter. I slowly turned my gaze to Qing Yao, I really wanted to say to her, I'm sorry.
However, I never opened my mouth.
