288 Marriage
Ling Jiantong is missing.
Mu Tong was so tired from taking care of Ling Jiantong day and night these days, so he lay on the table and took a nap, and when he woke up again, there was no trace of Ling Jiantong on the bed.
Mu Tong searched the inn inside and out, but still didn't find any trace of Ling Jiantong.
Ling Jiantong still had a high fever, and how many days of medicine she had taken didn't get any better at all, but her body was getting worse and worse, because of the things in the small mountain village, she was in a bad mood, Mu Tong was really worried, Ling Jiantong couldn't think about it.
The sun had set, and the sky was gradually darkening, and Mu Tong looked for a woman in pink clothes everywhere in the market like a madman.
Ling Jiantong didn't go far, she just wanted to go out to breathe, but she didn't expect to walk in front of the door of the Yuelao Temple.
Ling Jiantong seemed to be nailed there, and looked at the stout tree in the Yuelao Temple in a daze, with a lot of red ribbons tied to the trunk, and in the red hanging down the branches, how many names of crazy men and women were written, they were all looking forward to marriage, but how many could keep their love in the end?
Ling Jiantong's legs were almost uncontrollable and he walked under the tree, looking up at the unfamiliar names on each red ribbon.
In this world, Ling Jiantong has two men he loves deeply.
Mu Jinghong is her sweetness.
Hua Yue is her suffering.
"Mu Jinghong......" Ling Jiantong shouted his name over and over again when she was unconscious, she hoped that he could occasionally appear in her dreams, she hoped that Mu Jinghong could take her away, she didn't want to suffer the slightest bit in this world, she wanted to be with him forever, even if she died now, she had no regrets.
Ling Jiantong didn't know why God was joking with her, she had already known that coming to this strange country would go through this, it was better to let her fall from the 160-story building in the first place, even if she was crushed, it was better than life and death now.
Ling Jiantong didn't know what the meaning of her existence was, she thought about committing suicide several times, but she was stopped by Mu Tong every time, she had already affected so many people, and the villagers in the small mountain village were all dead because of her, she didn't want to affect Mu Tong anymore.
Anyway, Mu Jinghong is dead, she didn't want to live anymore, but she pitied her child, she thought about handing over the child to Nanxi and Wei Rui, and then find a place to die secretly, but now, she can't wait......
Ling Jiantong was tired, and every time she was extremely sleepy, she didn't dare to sleep.
Every time she finally fell asleep, the faces of those dead people appeared in front of her again and again, Mu Jinghong would pinch her neck and ask her, why did she marry someone else, and why did she give birth to someone else's child?
He was complaining about her.
But it doesn't matter, Mu Jinghong, I'll be there there soon to be with you forever.
Ling Jiantong closed his eyes slightly, and tears slid down.
If it weren't for someone behind her who tapped her on the shoulder, she didn't know how long she would have been standing here.
"Girl, buy a marriage belt, it's very smart."
The temple master was a woman of nearly forty years old, and she held a long marriage belt in her hands and handed it to Ling Jiantong.
Ling Jiantong looked at it, the hand she wanted to touch was like touching Bingjian when she was half an inch away from it, it was ridiculous to think about it, her marriage had already been ruined by her own hands, where was there still a marriage at all?
"No, I don't have a marriage to pray for."
"I just saw the girl standing under this tree for so long, how could she not pray for marriage?"
is also the person who can enter the Yuelao Temple, isn't it all praying for a happy marriage?
"I didn't have any money with me, so I couldn't buy it." Ling Jiantong could only use this most vulgar method to politely refuse the temple master.
But the temple master shook his head and smiled: "The girl is really joking, so let's do it, I see that the red jade bracelet on the girl's hand is very good-looking, so it's better to take this bracelet." ”
Ling Jiantong lowered her eyes and looked at the red jade bracelet on her wrist, this was given by Mu Jinghong, she has no long things now, this bracelet is the only object that Mu Jinghong gave her, what to say, she also has to keep it.
"This bracelet cannot be given."
"The girl loves this bracelet so much, it must be given by her sweetheart, seeing that the girl is so affectionate and righteous, this marriage will be given to you with me."
Ling Jiantong took the marriage belt, but her heart became a mess, whose name should she write on this marriage belt?
Mu Jinghong?
Huayue?
Ling Jiantong shook her head, why did she think of Hua Yue, Hua Yue was obviously her Ling Jiantong's enemy, she should hate him, but why, when she thought of his name, her heart was ...... Is there an indescribable feeling?
Don't...... Didn't you let him go?
Ling Jiantong didn't drop the pen for a long time, and it was when he was distressed, and his eyes inadvertently saw the figure of Zijin outside the Yuelao Temple shaking over!
Ling Jiantong suddenly felt like a great enemy, could it be that Hua Yue had already chased here?
Ling Jiantong put down the pen and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide, but the temple master grabbed her: "Girl, you haven't written your name on this marriage belt yet." ”
"I'm in a hurry, I'll write it another day." Ling Jiantong's expression was flustered, and she wanted to go out quickly, but Zijin and Li'er had already raised their swords and walked towards the door of the Yuelao Temple, and now it was unrealistic to escape from the Yuelao Temple, but this Yuelao Temple was so small, where could she hide?
"Girl, but you see an acquaintance you don't meet?"
Ling Jiantong looked at the temple master, and in a hurry, she could only ask the temple master: "Temple master, can I take refuge in your temple for a while?" ”
The corners of the temple master's lips hooked slightly, picked up the marriage belt on the table, and pulled Ling Jiantong to the back of the temple.
Zijin and Li'er looked around the Yuelao Temple, but they didn't find Ling Jiantong or Mu Tong's half-traced figure, they just went back to return to Hua Yue, but they didn't expect that Hua Yue was already standing in front of the tree, looking up at the ten thousand red silks hanging down from the branches.
"Master, there is no one here."
Hua Yue stared, remembering in his mind that when he was at the Tianyuan National Lantern Festival, he had accompanied Ling Jiantong to the Yuelao Temple, when Ling Jiantong asked for a marriage sign, but there was no solution, so many years have passed, the Yuelao Temple in this Xuanguo is no different from that of Tianyuan Kingdom, but people are no longer in the past.
Hua Yue was suddenly a little sentimental, he really wanted Ling to cut her eyes, the death of the villagers in the small mountain village must have hit her a lot, he was afraid that she would not be able to survive......
If she really died, then he would never live in this world.
Hua Yue retracted her gaze and was about to turn to leave, but saw a trembling old woman walking from the temple, the old woman's withered hands holding a marriage belt, which was carefully tied to the branch.
Hua Yue looked at the old woman, her face was already full of wrinkles, and she looked like she was fifty years old.
At such an advanced age, but still come to the old temple?
The old woman tied the marriage girdle to the branch and staggered to the door.
Hua Yue looked at her rickety back, but didn't notice that the temple master was already standing behind him: "Son, buy a marriage belt." ”
Hua Yue looked sideways at the red ribbon, and he didn't know why, so he actually asked Zijin to buy one with silver.
Hua Yue picked up the pen and wrote the names of Ling Jiantong and Mu Jinghong on the red ribbon.
The temple master watched from the sidelines, and said with a smile: "Childe, people are as their name suggests, a glimpse." ”
Hua Yue smiled and signaled, he picked up the marriage belt, and when he was thinking about where to tie it, the temple master pointed him in a direction, and that branch was where the old woman tied the marriage belt just now.
Hua Yue walked under the branch and had just tied a knot in the marriage belt, but she accidentally saw that the red ribbon next to her had the same name written on it.
He frowned slightly, he remembered that this marriage belt was tied by the old woman just now, could it be ......
That old woman just now was Ling Jiantong?!
At that moment, they were so close, but they still missed it.
The temple master saw that Hua Yue's marriage belt was not tied properly, so he stepped forward, untying Ling Jiantong's marriage belt while entangled with the marriage belt in Hua Yue's hand and tied a knot: "Son, the marriage belt should be tied like this." ”
The temple master had something to say, and Hua Yue knew that she must know Ling Jiantong's whereabouts, so she asked, "Temple master, you saw that girl just now, right?" ”
The temple master nodded: "Don't worry, son, it will always be yours, it's just that the time has not yet come." ”
"Does the temple master know where she went?"
The temple master stretched out his hand to the east and pointed, Hua Yue was very grateful, and went out of the temple gate to the east.
Ling Jiantong tore off the human skin mask on her face, she was so close to Hua Yue just now, she was really afraid that Hua Yue would recognize that she was wearing a human skin mask on her face, but fortunately, she still deceived her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
But where does she go next?
She was not familiar with this town at all, and she did not even remember the name of the inn, and she was lost standing in the crowded streets.
She patted her head, which was getting worse and worse, and suddenly felt a little tired from walking so much, and she sat on the side of the road, a little depressed.
Until a pair of black shoes appeared in front of her, she subconsciously looked up and saw Mu Tong's angry face.
Ling Jiantong opened her mouth slightly, wanting to explain to Mu Tong, but the next moment she was tightly hugged by Mu Tong.
The stone in Ling Jiantong's hand suddenly fell, and her chin rested on his shoulder, muttering his name.
Something cold fell on her neck, and in a moment she heard his extremely patient cry.
"Mu ...... Mu Tong. ”
"Ling Jiantong, can you stop disappearing like this without saying hello next time, do you know that I can't find you, I'm going crazy."
Ling Jiantong's hand froze in mid-air, but it never fell.
"I'm sorry."
It was the only thing she could say to him.
Mu Tong hugged her tightly without any response, she was terrible thin these days, and she was very awkward in her arms, but even if she was awkward, Mu Tong still wanted to hold her, preferably for the rest of her life, he liked her, loved her almost to the point of madness, he couldn't imagine, what would he do without her? What could he do?
