Chapter 20 Separately
The sky was faint, and the clouds and mist mountains were shrouded in thick fog. In front of the mountain gate, away from Yan and Siyuan, they were boxing in the thick fog. The fists brought the wind and blew away a lot of the dense fog around them.
Si Yuan was smiling beside Liyan, even if Liyan reprimanded him, the smile on his face never went down. It's really nice to be able to boxing with Uncle Xiao in front of the mountain gate again.
This made Liyan frown, he kept laughing, and it was boring for her to train him.
Fortunately, Guo Hua soon came to call them for dinner.
Si Yuan planned to continue practicing boxing after eating, but before they finished eating, Liyan was called away by He Qing.
He Qing handed the mask wrapped in red cloth to Liyan like a treasure, Liyan was very disgusted in his heart, can't he find a box to put it? It's really not good, you can use a piece of blue cloth, why does it have to be a red cloth?
"Open it up."
After the red cloth was lifted, Liyan was stunned for a moment, how did she think of this mask, where had she seen it.
"Master, this is not ......"
He Qing looked up at the sky, the fog had not yet cleared, and he couldn't see anything, "As soon as I saw it, I thought you looked good." Quick, take it and try it. ”
Li Yanxin said, since you have already made up your mind, you still asked me what I did that day, and it was too much.
Actually, it's just a very ordinary mask, just carved with a bamboo tree on the surface. But thinking that this mask was not for her to see, she compromised with her words, anyway, her face was already like that, and no matter how ugly this mask was, it couldn't be ugly.
Liyan put on a mask and felt it carefully, feeling a slight chill, but soon that feeling was gone. Although she kept telling people that it was good to wear a mask, after putting it on, she still felt a little unaccustomed to it. Speaking of which, she can be regarded as disfigured in disguise.
He Qing looked at her and didn't speak for a long time. It shouldn't be like this.
"Master, what do you think?" Liyan asked.
He Qing calmed down and said, "It's good-looking, it's very good-looking." ”
"In the future, when I go out to do chivalrous deeds, everyone will not know my name, and they will recognize me with this mask." I've thought about it, and I'll call it Silvermask Warrior from now on. ”
Hearing this, He Qing smiled, "Well, it's good." ”
Seeing He Qing smile, Liyan hurriedly begged him to let Ruan Xiangtian tell her what they had encountered in the Cold Water Pavilion.
Unable to withstand her soft grinding and hard bubbles, He Qing sighed, "Okay, you go and ask." ”
With He Qing's permission, Liyan immediately used his kung fu to shrink the ground into inches and left.
Seeing this, He Qingxin couldn't stop sighing. The sealed memory was like a sword hanging over her head. And none of them knew when the sword would fall.
Ruan Xiangtian looked at Liyan with some surprise, the silver-white mask was worn on her face, and the red pupils were particularly conspicuous.
"Fourth Senior Brother, although I really have flowers on my face, there is no need for you to keep staring at me."
Ruan Xiangtian's face did not change, "The mask is good." ”
"Uncle Master personally chosen, that must be good." Then, Liyan told him that He Qing had allowed her to know about the Hanshui Pavilion.
With He Qing's order, Ruan Xiangtian had no reason to hide it from her anymore.
In fact, the reason why Liyan wanted to know what happened to them in the Cold Water Pavilion was because he was worried about Liyang. She had a nightmare last night and dreamed of a corpse, and although she didn't see the corpse's face, for some reason she was sure that it was Liyang.
Ruan Xiangtian told her what they had encountered in the Xiao family.
"Well, Fourth Senior Brother, didn't you really meet those two people?"
"No, they were very careful and didn't leave many clues."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes, the third senior brother has always been careful, and even he didn't find anything, that is, there was really nothing. Moreover, the senior brother is still fine. Perhaps, the corpse she dreamed of was not actually her senior brother at all, but ......
"The master has already written a letter to inform it, and everyone will find someone to check, you don't have to worry."
Li Yan raised his eyes to look at Ruan Xiangtian, smiled, and said, "Well, I will definitely find it." ”
Ruan Xiangtian frowned slightly, how could he think that what she told him didn't seem to be the same thing.
"Thank you, Fourth Senior Brother, I know. I'm going to the Moon Pavilion, do you want to come along? ”
"Nope."
The grapes in front of the pavilion are about to ripen, and you can already smell the aroma of grapes when you stand at the door. In the past, Liyan and Siyuan would often stand under the grapevines, smell the aroma of grapes, and count how many grapes there were on a bunch.
When she hurriedly entered the Moon Pavilion, she found that Guo Hua was also there.
"Big brother." Leave the words.
"What book is Ah Yan looking for?" Guo Hua said warmly.
"Meditation mantra, I boasted in front of the master that I could recite it backwards, I tried it, but I still couldn't do it. So, I decided to take another look. ”
"I'll get it for you."
Li Yan looked at the third floor, and lamented in her heart, it seems that she can't get that thing today.
When Guo Hua went downstairs, he thanked him and left.
The fog on the mountain has not yet lifted, and it is getting thicker. It was noon, and the fog had not yet lifted. Cheng An and the three came back in a thick fog.
"Oh hey, my God." Cheng comforted his chest and made a gesture of Xizi holding his heart, "Ah Yan, you will take Xiaoyuan to mess around all day long." ”
is also a woman, Ji Ran is much more convenient. She grabbed the words and put her hands on her.
Yu Sen looked at her with a concerned face, and Liyan smiled at him.
"Sixth Senior Sister, I'm fine." Liyan grabbed Ji Ran's hand and said seriously.
Ji Ran stretched out his index finger, poked her right cheek, and then poked the mask on her left cheek, and said with emotion: "The feel is different." ”
Speechless, can this feel be the same? It's not human skin.
"Come, you come quickly. After receiving your news, everyone has been waiting for you to have lunch. ”
When we arrived at the dining room, everyone was already waiting there.
In addition to the fifth uncle and the second senior sister, there is also the master who is not there, and everyone is together. In fact, they sit together every year, but today, I don't know why, there is a feeling of being separated from each other. She pinched her palm hard, it would hurt, so she wasn't dreaming.
During the banquet, everyone talked and laughed. It seems that the impact of the accident has also drifted away like a fog in the mountains.
However, this is not possible after all.
Liyan's heart still hurts, and everyone will look at her from time to time during the banquet, their eyes full of concern. She knew she would never go back to the way she used to be.
In the afternoon of the same day, Cheng Lingyuan called a few of them to the Green Pine Hall and arranged the task for them.
Except for Si Yuan's proposal to go to the capital with Liyan was rejected, everything else was normal.
It's night, the crescent moon is crooked, and the stars are dotted.
Li Yan sat on the roof, looking at the endless starry sky. Behind her, Liyang was slowly walking towards her.
"Ah Yan, why don't you sleep yet?"
"The master said that it is better to see the stars on the mountain, and I want to give it a try."
Liyang thought about it carefully, their master did say this, but he didn't mean it that way. It's just that Liyan is not very clever in stargazing, and he thinks it's better not to hit her.
"Senior brother, why don't you sleep? Are you worried about me? ”
"Hmm. You're about to enter Beijing, and I'm really worried about you. ”
"With the third senior brother with them, you can rest assured, it will be fine."
Liyang just looked at her worriedly and didn't speak. All along, he knew how much she wanted to find her biological parents. But what if her parents are dead, or if they don't want her back as they think?
Liyan was bent on going to the capital to find out why Liyang couldn't enter Beijing, and she was about to forget her original purpose, which was actually to go to Beijing to find her parents.
"The master said that you can't force everything, even if you can't find your parents, it doesn't matter, just take a long trip."
Liyang's brows furrowed, "It's good that you can think so." It's going to leave tomorrow, so you get some rest. ”
"Senior brother too."
The two jumped off the roof, one after the other.
After seeing Liyang leave, Liyan turned around and entered the house.
Ever since that nightmare, she has not dared to sleep again. The scene in the dream was not terrifying, but she would always put Liyang's face on the corpse, although she would tell herself that Liyang was still alive every time, but she still couldn't help but think that if the person who died was Liyang.
She carefully observed for a while, and the current senior brother was indeed a real senior brother. At this point, she began to blame herself. When she first learned stargazing, why didn't she study it well?
Liyan lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. In order not to think of her brother again, she decided to think of something else.
As a result, the next day, she still woke up from a nightmare.
This time, it wasn't her brother who had an accident, it was herself. In the dream, she found her parents, and they got along well at first, but when it was time to eat, they suddenly took out a large pot and said that they were going to eat her.
Liyan sat up suddenly, she touched the cold sweat on her head, and took a deep breath. Her brows couldn't help frowning, although the master kept telling her that her parents gave up raising her because of their last resort, but was this really the case?
Liyan pushed open the door and looked at the blue sky, but he was not happy at all. She used to have nightmares, at most she was punished by her master for copying books, and the most terrible thing was that she was chased to the cliff by a big snake. Either the senior brother dies or she dies. Who's next?
"Uncle Junior, are we still going to practice boxing?" Si Yuan asked cautiously.
"Go...... bar. ”
Li Yan still followed Si Yuan, and this time, she was extra serious. Even, when she was packing her luggage, she also handed over all the boxing scores she had treasured for a long time to Si Yuan.
"Uncle Junior, I can't ask for this." Si Yuan excused himself.
Li Yan waved his hand and said, "During the time I am away, you will practice according to this, and when I come back, I will accept it." ”
Hearing this, Si Yuan didn't want it anymore. Even if he practiced day and night from now on, it would be impossible for him to beat Uncle Xiao.
Liyan patted him on the shoulder and told him, "Practice hard." ”
"Uncle Xie." Si Yuan sorted out his mood and said, "I will definitely practice hard." ”
Si Yuan took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility of carrying luggage for Liyan, and Liyanle was leisurely, and followed him with Qiyun.
Although before, she didn't live here very often. But this time she felt very different, as if she didn't have much chance to come back here in the future. Even the little white flower in front of her door, she felt a little reluctant.
Liyan shook her head, throwing out all these wild thoughts in her head, how could she not come back. She's got baby here, and she'll definitely be back.
"Sixth Senior Sister." Li Yan looked at the blue leather burden on her shoulders and said in surprise: "You just brought such a little thing?" ”
"I've put it in the wagon."
When he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw the big box on the carriage at a glance. Sure enough, it was already put on the carriage.
Everyone stood in front of the mountain gate, listening to He Qing, Cheng Lingyuan and Han Ying tell them one by one, be careful on the road, don't cause trouble, and spread the news if there is something. Although they are old, they are not old enough to go down the mountain, and it is not okay for someone to bully and dare to bully their apprentices.
After talking about a stick of incense, he opened his mouth and let them go down the mountain.
Guo Hua, Si Yuan, and Wei Yang sent them to the bottom of the mountain.
When they went down the hill, they parted.
Liyang and his party had to go north to Beijing, while Ruan Xiangtian and Liyang needed to go south.
Cheng An looked at Ruan Xiangtian and sighed: "Fourth, I didn't say you. Talking to outsiders is not as scary as you think. You are with Lao Qi, and you can't always let him talk, don't you say? ”
"It's fine." He turned his head to look at Liyang and said, "Seventh Senior Brother, if there are outsiders in the future, you can treat me as a dumb person." ”
"......" Cheng An shook his hand, "Yes, you can do whatever you like." After speaking, he gave Liyang a sympathetic look.
"Okay, it's almost noon, if you don't leave, it's going to be dark, let's go." Ruan Xiangtian said.
"Goodbye." Cheng An raised his hand.
Ruan Xiangtian immediately turned over and got on the horse, Liyang waved at Liyan, and got on the horse and left.
"Senior brother, then let's go too. You should go back early, so you don't have to send us. ”
Liyan was in the back window, and kept waving to the three of them. Wei Yang responded to her at first, but he quickly put it down. Only Si Yuan kept waving at her. Until, they will never be seen again.
