001 Grave sweeping
In the twilight of spring, the nameless flowers of the nameless valley are all over the mountains, with pale yellow petals, rose-red stamens, and fragrant fragrance. Under the breeze, the fragrance of the flowers became more and more refreshing.
Most of the land in the valley is planted with countless ripe and precious medicinal herbs, and there is more than one trap around the medicine garden.
There is a small stream that runs through the valley in the valley, and there is a bamboo forest next to the stream, and there is a courtyard made of bamboo.
The faint sound of the flute came from the courtyard, and I followed the sound of the flute to find the source, and found that the flute came from the hand of a man in the bamboo house in the courtyard.
The man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes were extraordinary, and he couldn't take his eyes off it with just one glance. Ink-colored clothes, high crowns, and tall figures.
Not far from the man, a woman sat on a mat and listened with her eyes closed, enjoying herself.
Noticing the woman's expression, the corners of the man's mouth showed a slight curvature, and then stopped the flute.
The sound of the flute stopped suddenly, and the woman opened her eyes, looked at the man beside her, and said softly:
"Why didn't you blow it?"
"Du Yao doesn't want to listen, how can Lian Chen be pretentious?"
After that, Helianchen got up and wanted to leave, but the woman named Du Yao had no intention of staying, and seeing this, Helianchen had no choice but to return to his original position.
Du Yao didn't even raise his eyebrows, just fiddled with the herbs in front of the case, and said casually:
"Isn't Senior Brother leaving?"
"I ......"
"What is the high-sounding reason this time?"
At this point, Du Yao threw a medicine book on Helianchen's table, and Helianchen took a cursory look at the medicine book and memorized the general content in it.
"Isn't this just an ordinary medicine recipe, what are you doing with it?"
"Master told you to go to the medicine garden to pick up the medicine, do you remember?"
“……”
Being reminded by Du Yao, Helianchen seemed to have a sudden realization, seeing this, Du Yao handed the medicine extraction tool to Helianchen and instructed.
"Master said, if the senior brother can't finish the medicine today, the senior brother will do the work of drying the medicine tomorrow."
After saying that, Du Yao ignored Helian Chen's stunned face and walked straight out of the bamboo house.
When she came to the medicine garden, Du Yao noticed the figure in the distance, and said in her heart that only the senior sister was willing to do the work in the medicine garden at this hour.
"Senior sister."
"Yao'er, why are you here?"
The woman who was working heard Du Yao's voice and her heart tightened, she remembered that today was the day when Du Yao swept the grave, and it seemed that this girl was planning to be lazy.
"There's a senior brother in the bamboo house."
Du Yao said as she came to the woman's side, snatched the sickle from the woman's hand, and cleaned up the weeds by herself.
"Shadow, don't listen to that girl's nonsense, Master and his old man asked her to clean the grave early in the morning, and this girl deliberately delayed here."
Helian Chen's timely appearance made Hua Lingying suddenly, she came to Du Yao's side, and said sharply:
"Yao'er, why don't you want to go to what Master told you?"
"No why."
At this time, Du Yao didn't stop the movements of his hands at all, and he became more and more angry when he saw this flower shadow.
"Yao'er, you don't know Master's temper, you ......"
"When did Senior Sister listen to Master so much?"
Du Yao's sharp words made Hua Rongying speechless, Hua Rongying knew that she really had no position to say anything, but she thought that she had changed enough in the past three years, and she didn't feel that she was still as arrogant and domineering as before.
"Du Yao, how can you talk to me!"
Yi Hua's temperament will not spare Du Yao, and a little girl can still turn the other way!
Seeing that Hua Langying lost her temper, Du Yao didn't take her seriously.
"What I'm saying is the truth, Senior Sister, you dare to say that you listen to Master!"
"Of course!"
At this time, Hua Rongying had enough confidence, and she believed that with her current performance, Du Yao would not be able to say anything bad. It's just that she seems to have underestimated Du Yao's ability.
Hearing Hua Rongying's sworn answer, Du Yao smiled, and this smile surprised everyone present. Du Yao automatically ignored those strange gazes, she got up and came to Hua Rongying's side, and said:
"Senior sister seems to have forgotten the elopement last year."
With that, Du Yao ignored how ugly Hua Liangying's face was, and left the valley directly.
She knew it was time for her to go see the old man.
The road to the grave has always been difficult, but fortunately, Du Yao has the ability to avoid losing his life between the cliffs.
The man's grave was arranged by Helian Chen to the top of the mountain, and Du Yao knew who the owner of the nameless grave was.
It took half an hour for Du Yao to come to the nameless grave.
On the way here, Du Yao's skirt was scratched by the stubborn stones along the way, but she didn't care.
Taking out some food from the food box, Du Yao poured another glass of wine for the owner of the tomb, and poured a glass of wine for himself by the way.
"I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time, I'll punish myself with a drink."
Drinking all the wine in the cup, Du Yao stroked the stone tablet with his hand and was silent.
Three years have passed, and the owner of this nameless tomb should rest in peace.
The drizzling rain did not make Du Yao sober up for half a minute, she leaned on the side of the stele, touched the lines of the stele, and felt the vicissitudes of the years, without any traces.
Not far away, Hua Langying and Helian Chen stood there looking at Du Yao's figure without saying a word, they knew that only at this time would Du Yao be helpless.
"Lian Chen, it's time for Du Yao to come out of the school."
Seeing Du Yao's sad appearance, Hua Lianying's heart was very uncomfortable, after three years, what Du Yao was carrying in her heart had already made her breathless.
"This matter still needs to be discussed with Master, and neither of you nor I can make this decision."
"Since the eldest brother left, the slanting rain building has not become the same, you and I are hiding in the nameless valley again, and Du Yao is like this again......"
"It's useless to say these things now, Du Yao is no longer the girl she was three years ago, seventeen years old, enough for her to hold up the sky."
Helian Chen's words were very firm, and even Hua Rongying was touched.
"So what should we do now?"
"Du Yao is afraid that she has already made a calculation in her heart, let's listen to her this time, I think she will weigh the pros and cons."
Helian Chen was able to say such things mostly because he felt that Du Yao would not be in the way, and in the three years in Nameless Valley, she had indeed grown a lot.
"Why don't you come and see him if you're here?"
Du Yao's voice came from in front of the tomb, and seeing that Helian Chen was found to have nothing to hide, the two of them came to Du Yao's side.
"Du Yao, let's take a look at him."
After listening to Helianchen's explanation, Du Yao didn't care, she casually took out three incense sticks from the food box and handed them to Helianchen.
"Since you're here, let's put incense on it."
Du Yao's words were as cold as before, and Helian Chen took the incense and was silent.
In the past three years, he has finally waited for this day to be able to put incense on the old man with his own hands, and he knows that this is the opportunity that Du Yao gave him.
The incense with Mars shone faintly in the drizzle, the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, and the moment the three incense sticks were inserted into the soil, Helianchen's eyes moistened.
"I thought you wouldn't remember him."
Du Yao's faint voice came into Helianchen's ears, and Helianchen's heart once again rippled.
"There's a lot more to what you think."
Helian Chen didn't answer Du Yao's question directly, and seeing this, Du Yao couldn't continue to ask.
"Alright, let's go back."
Noticing that Hua Rongying was planning to incense, Du Yao picked up the food box and was about to go out, seeing this, Hua Rongying couldn't help but speak:
"Yao'er, you still won't forgive me?"
Hua Rongying had gradually cried when she said this, but Du Yao was expressionless.
"You should say this to Fang Qingxi."
"I ......"
Du Yao's words were very ruthless, and Hua Rongying knew that three years had passed, and Du Yao still couldn't let go of the incident back then, and that incident would be a scar that could never be erased in Du Yao's heart.
Noticing that Du Yao's mood was getting worse and worse, Helian Chen was worried that Du Yao would be sad because of this, but he remembered his master's instructions that he couldn't let Du Yao mind what happened back then.
"Du Yao, you should be stronger."
"I know that."
What Du Yao has experienced in the past three years is by no means a star, she knows what she should do and what she should not do.
Knowing that Du Yao already knew it, Helian Chen didn't have much to say, so he could only comfort the flower shadow on the side.
"Let's go back."
"......"
"We should give her some time."
"Okay."
This time, Hua Rongying didn't hold on to this matter, and she also wanted to give Du Yao more time.
When the three of them came down from the top of the mountain, they were waiting for the three of them in the wooden hut next to the medicine garden.
Seeing that he was gone, Du Yao returned to his usual appearance, and said with a smile:
"The old man thought you wouldn't go up the mountain."
"Master's orders, the disciples dare not disobey."
"As long as you're not sad."
If you don't stay, you know that Du Yao's best thing is disguise, and she can disguise her emotions very well.
"I'm not sad."
Du Yao's words sounded calm, but no one knew the turmoil in his heart.
He just glanced at her, and then said:
"That's very good."
"Master, if there is nothing to do, the apprentice will go back to the bamboo house."
Du Yao knew that if she stayed here, she would be ridiculed and ridiculed, and she was unwilling to stay here. Besides, it was time to take back the herbs that were drying outside the bamboo house, and she didn't want her herbs to be caught in the rain.
Knowing that Du Yao was leaving, he didn't stay, but just glanced at Helian Chen's shadow and said:
"The three of you go and freshen up first, and the old man will have something to say to you in half an hour."
In the Nameless Valley, it has always been the same thing to go or not stay, no one dares to disobey him, and he has enough drama to torture those who don't listen to him.
Seeing this, Du Yao rushed away without nodding to indicate that he already knew, turned around and left the wooden house. If you don't stay, you can't see Helian Chen and the flowers lingering, and he said in his heart that the two of them must have something to say to themselves.
"If you have anything to say, the old man is in a hurry to take a hot bath."
"Old man, I said you were really idle this day!"
