153. The desert is lonely, and the moon falls on the long river!
This dinner was not very tasty.
After dinner, two adults and one small take a walk on the street.
Chu Yan led Li Mengmeng, while Xiao Bai walked beside him alone, with his hands in his pockets and did not speak.
Although it is already spring, Jincheng is located in the north, the climate is dry and cold, and the north wind blows on his body, which makes Xiao Bai feel a little chilly.
It shouldn't be, as a monk who has cultivated the Nine Yang Holy Body, how can he be afraid of this cold?
Xiao Bai touched his nose.
On the way, he and Chu Yan talked, they all communicated without saltiness, and the conversation was very boring, and in the end, the two of them simply stopped talking.
"No wonder for so long, Ah Yan didn't take the initiative to contact me, it seems that she is engaged to her childhood sweetheart... Then I came to Jincheng so recklessly, did I disturb her life? ... It seems a little embarrassing..."
Xiao Bai thought silently in his heart.
Chu Yan on the side glanced at Xiao Bai from the corner of his eye, and his expression became more and more cold.
Obviously, Xiao Bai took the initiative to come to her, but now that he sees himself, why is he so cold? Don't say a word for half a day?
'Why don't you ignore me?' Could it be that he is really with that Miss Zhou? This time I came here specifically to have a showdown with me? Want to divorce me? ’
'Scumbag! ’
The more Chu Yan thought about it, the more angry he became, and kicked the small stone on the side of the road hard.
If this is the case, then she will definitely sign the divorce without hesitation, and will never allow herself to let go of her pride and dignity for the sake of a man.
Until the end of this road, Chu Yan stood in place, silent for a moment, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he simply said:
"Xiao Bai, don't you have anything to say to me?"
"Uh... This..."
Xiao Bai touched his nose, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he thought about it and said:
"Ah Yan, I owe you half a year. No matter what you do, I won't blame you, if you find someone more suitable for you and want to divorce me, I won't pester you, I will bless you. ”
"What do you mean?" Chu Yan was stunned, with a sneer on his face.
"You've been fooling around outside, you've not seen anyone for half a year, you've been entangled with women outside, and now you're blaming me for cheating? You're such a decent gentleman! ”
Chu Yan's face was ugly, blue and white for a while, as if he had never seen such a shameless man.
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and pointed to Chu Yan's hand:
"And what happened to this engagement ring on your hand?"
"What engagement ring? You've got a hole in your head, right? Chu Yan was so angry that he took off the ring directly and smashed it into Xiao Bai's face, "This is what I bought to match my clothes!" You damn pervert! Go with the woman outside, don't come to me! ”
"Mengmeng, let's go!"
After speaking, Chu Yan took Li Mengmeng and was about to leave.
Suddenly, a ribbed hand grabbed Chu Yan's white wrist.
I saw Xiao Bai smile kindly:
"Yan, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now... I thought you found someone else here... Anyway, I apologize to you, I'm really sorry. ”
"Can you put the first thing loose?" Chu Yan said coldly.
"Okay."
Although Xiao Bai was a little reluctant, he still let go of his hand.
Chu Yan pinched his wrist, turned around, and said coldly:
"If you have something to say, just say it, but don't touch me, I don't want to be touched by you scumbag."
"Uh..."
Xiao Bai looked helpless, so he had to follow Chu Yan and say to her as he walked.
At this time, Li Mengmeng suddenly smiled at Xiao Bai, waved her little hand and said:
"Uncle Xiao, you can be cute."
"Okay."
Xiao Bai nodded and held Li Mengmeng's little hand.
Li Mengmeng walked between the two people, her left hand was led by Chu Yan, her right hand was led by Xiao Bai, and the three of them walked on the street at night. I don't know if it's because the lights are bright, and the wind at night is not so cold.
...
In the end, Xiao Bai was cheeky and followed Chu Yan and Mengmeng all the way home.
It was an upscale neighborhood in downtown Jincheng City, and you could take the elevator to your doorstep.
When Xiao Bai entered the house, he was a little cautious and couldn't help but look around.
"This house was bought with the money you left me." Chu Yan said casually while changing his shoes, "Don't look at it, it's just me and Mengmeng, no one else!" ”
Probably because the high heels were uncomfortable to wear, she took off her shoes and socks, sat on the sofa, and rubbed her slender jade feet.
Seeing that the opportunity came, Xiao Bai hurriedly went over to help her rub it, licked his face and smiled:
"Let me do it, I'm good at this."
At this time, Li Mengmeng also came to the living room, skillfully turned on the TV, and adjusted the channel to the children's channel, which happened to be playing cartoons.
"Mengmeng, you go to bed today." Chu Yan suddenly said, "I'm watching cartoons tomorrow." ”
Li Mengmeng looked confused.
She blinked her eyes wide and said:
"Sister Yan, are you going to fight with Uncle Xiao later?"
"Huh?" Chu Yanxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding.
saw Li Mengmeng continue:
"I remember when I was a child, my parents would urge me to go to bed, and when I went back to my room, the two of them would fight outside, and sometimes my mother would cry very fiercely, so scary..."
Hearing this, Chu Yan suddenly blushed.
Xiao Bai didn't know what to say.
Seeing that neither of them spoke, Li Mengmeng pouted, she was young and ignorant, and she didn't dare to ask more, so she obediently destroyed her room and turned off the light to sleep.
...
Late at night, living room.
"You move little, don't sleep with a cute one!"
"Alas... How's that going? Why don't we open a room? ”
“... My ID is in my bag, you go and help me get it. ”
...
...
Children have always slept well, and when Li Mengmeng woke up, it was already the next morning.
She got up slowly, walked out of her room, and saw the restaurant, Xiao Bai and Chu Yan sitting for breakfast, the two of them did not have any more conflicts, and their relationship was also very stable.
"Sister Yan, Uncle Xiao, good morning." Li Mengmeng greeted politely.
"Mengmeng, come here."
Xiao Bai took a bite of bread, beckoned Li Mengmeng to come to his side, touched her head, and said earnestly:
"In the future, you can't call me uncle, call me my wife and sister, it sounds very messy, I don't know and think that I am an uncle and nephew with her, do I look so old?"
Li Mengmeng listened, a little as if she didn't understand, blinked her eyes and said:
"Brother Xiao, Aunt Yan, is it okay for Meng Meng to shout like this?"
“......”
Xiao Bai almost didn't choke on the bread, and after he saw Chu Yan's cold gaze, he sneered:
"Forget it, you better call me uncle."
...
Eating breakfast, Xiao Bai chatted with the second daughter about the current situation, knowing that after the two of them came to Jincheng, they had been living here, and rarely contacted their families in Jiangnan, until they heard that Xiao Bai had returned, Chu Yan made a phone call.
Thinking of such a long time, Chu Yan took the young Li Mengmeng, and the two of them depended on each other, Xiao Bai felt very guilty in his heart.
"Mengmeng has always wanted to go to Dunhuang to play, the two of us are not familiar with each other here, I didn't dare to take her there. You're here anyway, take her for a spin, and then we'll go back to Jiangnan. Chu Yan said lightly.
"Okay."
Xiao Bai readily agreed.
He immediately arranged for the trip.
At noon that day, Xiao Bai took a big girl and a small girl to drive a newly bought Mercedes-Benz G-class off-road vehicle and embarked on a trip to Dunhuang.
However, before going to Dunhuang, Xiao Bai first went to the ancestral land of the Baji Gate, found Hao Tong, and explained to him the situation of the Dragon Elephant Palace before leaving.
Dunhuang is a famous ancient city in history, located in the westernmost part of the Hexi Corridor, at the junction of the three provinces, and is also an important node of the ancient Silk Road, famous for the "Dunhuang Grottoes" and "Dunhuang murals".
As soon as you drive into the city, you immediately feel a strong sense of history.
Now the city found a hotel to put the luggage, and then the three of them ate something, and looked at the time there was still some time, so they went to the crescent spring, the nearest attraction in the city.
Speaking of the crescent moon spring, I believe many people are familiar with it, it is one of the famous Dunhuang eight scenes, it is a spring water lying across the desert, bent like a crescent moon, as the name of the crescent spring, because of the unique geographical environment, surrounded by quicksand, even if it encounters strong winds, it will not be buried, and it has become a wonder of the world.
There is also a Mingsha Mountain near the Crescent Spring, and the two are a pair of twin sisters in the desert Gobi, known as the feeling of 'Mingsha Mountain is pleasant, and the Crescent Spring washes the heart'.
Newcomers are often amazed by such a fantastical desperate situation. Chu Yan and Li Mengmeng are no exception, both of them are very interested, taking pictures everywhere with their cameras, eager to record every scenery here.
Xiao Bai accompanied the two of them around, riding camels, taking photos, and watching the sunset smoke in the distance.
It wasn't until the sun was about to go down that the three of them returned to the post station at Crescent Spring. Xiao Bai found a vacant place by the spring, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes and concentrated.
"What are you doing sitting here?"
A faint female voice came from her ear, it was Chu Yan who was wearing sunglasses and holding a bottle of water in her hand, and walked over slowly.
"I'm cultivating." Xiao Bai replied calmly, "You can also sit down and try it, after entering the state, you can see a more real world." ”
"Really?"
Chu Yan was a little moved.
She learned Xiao Bai's sitting posture, sat down in the open space next to her, and tried to control her body and thoughts, but she couldn't hold on for long, and then stood up:
"It's so cold here, I'm not as boring as you, I'll go over there first."
Xiao Baiwan smiled, but he didn't force him to stay.
He knew that cultivation was a very long, long journey, and only a small number of people with firm convictions could start from the beginning. Meditation is the simplest form of cultivation, but this is what the vast majority of people on the earth cannot do.
Because this place is not big, Xiao Bai is not worried about the two of them getting lost, so he takes a deep breath, gathers his thoughts, and immerses himself in a state of selflessness.
In the dark, Xiao Bai's body was surrounded by a nameless cyclone, and the aura in the void was constantly stripped out, forming cyclones one after another, which continued to enter Xiao Bai's body, making Xiao Bai's cultivation more and more profound.
It wasn't until the end of this qi refining cycle that Xiao Bai let out a long breath of turbid gas and opened his eyes.
But he was surprised to find that the world in front of him had become completely different.
It was night, and there was a white full moon hanging in the sky, and the outline of the moon was many times larger than usual, like a silver platter.
The crescent moon spring in front of him, the water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, emitting a ray of light. However, Xiao Bai found that although the crescent moon spring at this moment was still the outline of the crescent moon, the area was obviously much larger than that during the day, and it almost crossed the entire quicksand area.
Xiao Bai's pupils shrank and he turned to look. Behind him was originally a desert oasis, and there were two antique buildings on it, but now, the area of the oasis has also increased several times, and the ancient buildings are arranged in the oasis, which is not at all what it looks like during the day.
All the scenes are fused, there is a magnificent "desert lonely smoke, the moon falling on the long river", under the night, a wisp of mist like a white veil, slowly shrouded over, rendering a mysterious color.
Although he could still see the Crescent Moon Spring and Mingsha Mountain, Xiao Bai clearly felt that he had come to another scene.
This mountain is not another mountain, this water is not another water!
