CHAPTER XLVI
Many years later, I think back to how I felt at that time......
I wasn't in the mood when I kissed - or the mood was too complicated to describe. After kissing, my first thought was: I caught him, but I can't let him run away.
I don't know how such an idea came to me at that time, but my actions did follow the orders in my heart and held my master's hand tightly.
He had been holding me all the time, but now he has fallen off and I am holding him tightly.
What is the restlessness, the fear, the gain and the loss...... They all scattered without a trace.
I just had one thought: he is my man, I have to take him seriously.
"Huh?"
The snow has stopped, and the place where we are standing is not the Wen family.
It doesn't matter where it is, I don't care.
Shigong obviously didn't care either.
The two of us were like two silly children, holding hands and wandering around the market. said that he was going to stare at Bai Wan, but seeing that Bai Wan was about to walk away in the crowd, we still took small square steps without hurry.
It's really unproductive.
I don't know if I'm talking about myself, or if I'm talking about my master-
Well, speaking of which, it seems a little inappropriate for me to call him Master again.
But after so many years, I've been used to shouting for a long time, and it's not easy to change it suddenly.
Shigong didn't feel uncomfortable...... cough, maybe he also thinks that listening to the word "master" is more pleasant than the word "Ji Yu"? Phew, what is this?
Bai Wan: What is this doing?
Look at her wandering around the city, buying a mess of things, and heading straight out of the city.
She is no longer a short child, she is taller, just look at the back, curly and delicate, and have the delicate appearance of a girl.
But you can't look at the face.
She went to the blacksmith's shop. I went to the cloth village, to the grocery store, and finally to the woodware store.
"What is she doing here?" I just remembered and asked, "What about the rest of the night incense class?" ”
"Yexiang Class ......" Shigong paused and said: "I found out before that there was a fire in the Yexiang class at night, and a boatload of people ......"
I imagined the tattered and heavily loaded ship of the Night Fragrance Class, which would have been hard to save if it had caught fire in the middle of the night.
But this fire broke out in the middle of the night, why is it so familiar?
From the time we entered Bai Wan's dream, this was already the second night fire, right?
The first fire was set by Bai Wan, in her hometown.
Her hometown......
My master and I glanced at each other. The scenery in front of us becomes more and more familiar, and we have just been here not long ago.
Isn't this Bai Wan's hometown?
The surrounding desolation is still there, and Bai Wan walks quickly. We followed closely.
What is she doing back here? Just now, I bought a lot of things and put them in a bag and carried them on my back.
Could it be that this girl finally found her conscience and came back to visit her mother?
There are still a few families left in the small village of the past, and the houses are even more dilapidated than when they were last left. The grass and trees have withered and changed, and there are not many traces of the past, only the charred and dead locust tree at the edge of the village can still see that there was a fire here.
The thatched hut where Bai Wan once lived was also dilapidated, and the roof had long since ceased to exist. The beams and doors may have been torn down, and grass had even grown in the house. Only a few walls were still standing in place, crumbling.
Bai Wan stood in front of the house for a moment, then walked around the dilapidated house and walked up the hillside.
In the distance on the hillside, you can see a few small earth graves. There were no monuments either.
Bai Wan squatted down from a distance and began to dig.
It turned out that the shovel she bought in the blacksmith shop was used for this.
The mountain wind blew, and there was silence in all directions. The sound of her digging was clear.
I leaned closer to my master.
The moon came out and shone brightly on the hillside.
The buried people were not buried deeply, Bai Wan quickly dug it up, picked it out one by one and wrapped it up.
I also know what she used to buy cloth for.
She dug ...... It must be her mother, right?
I turned my head to look at my master, but he was silent. Wrapping his arms around my waist, he continued to follow behind Bai Wan.
The mountains and forests are dark at night. From time to time strange sounds rang out.
I don't know if it's a bird or a beast, it sounds a little weird.
Bai Wan carried a small bag on his back and walked back in a heavy manner.
"It turns out that she came back to move her mother's grave......" I thought for a while: "But don't they all come at noon?" ”
Shigong's voice was faint: "Let's see again." ”
When Bai Wan returned, he was very fast, almost as if he was going to flee from something, faster than when he came.
She entered a small courtyard, lit the lamp, and then laboriously dragged Tsubaki's stone mortar into the house, and jammed it by the door frame, and she almost fell, but she still moved it in.
We stood outside the window and watched the white shadow reflected in the window.
She poured out the contents of the cloth bag, then held the pestle and smashed it down with all her might.
A dull voice rang out, and again, and again.
I instinctively approached my master, and he opened his arms to hug me.
I think we've seen a lot of the world, but this scene is really ......
Bai Wan's shadow was clearly reflected on the window paper, and she worked hard and earnestly to pound it. The contents of the stone mortar were smashed to pieces, making a tooth-aching sound.
I felt chills on my body.
Everyone, not what they used to seem.
Bai Wan I saw for the first time in this life, she looked like a fairy, ice clear and jade.
But in the blink of an eye, the fairy-like Bai Wan turned into a panting black shadow on the window paper.
When I closed my eyes, the dull sound of Tsubaki still came into my ears one by one.
"She's ...... What to do? ”
Shigong took me around in a circle and walked out of the courtyard gate.
I let out a long sigh of relief.
It was as if there was an invisible fear in that courtyard that weighed down on me, and I couldn't breathe.
"I guessed it......" Master patted me on the back and soothed me like a baby, "She has changed her appearance, not by illusion." ”
Could it be that what is happening in the house is Bai Wan's preparation for changing her appearance?
Who taught her the way?
My master and I have been following her, but except for Wu Zhen, no one else has ever come close to her.
Wu Zhen...... It shouldn't be such a weird and deeply evil way, right?
So, is there something missing from our midst?
I know that dreams are often not coherent, and we want to find out if Bai Wan is related to Wu Ning's heavy framing, and we want to know who is silently manipulating behind her makeover.
"Don't be afraid."
I looked up, and he repeated, "Don't be afraid. ”
I'm not afraid.

This chapter was not written on purpose...
Probably because I was scared by the nightmare. The relationship between colds, napping for a long time, but not steady, I had several fragmentary dreams, and I met a ghost in my dream ~~555, which scared people to death. As a result, this chapter is a bit ...... Well, it's not like that in the next chapter, I must be sweet! (To be continued)
