Chapter 229: Farewell
At that moment, he wanted to knock on the door and tell her that he was not leaving, and that he would stay with her forever.
But reason told him that he could not do that.
finally waited for the opportunity, as long as he worked harder, he would be able to be with Ah Yan forever.
In the end, reason overcame instinct, and Mu Fan, who had been hesitating outside the door for a long time, still chose to leave.
But his heart ached like a knife.
Mu Fan returned home depressed, tossing and turning, sleepless all night, and his mind was full of Xia Yan's figure.
Her smile and every move appeared in front of Mu Fan's eyes one by one like a marquee.
He reminisced about the past, sometimes intoxicated, sometimes happy, sometimes disappointed, sometimes sad, sometimes worried...... In this way, Mu Fan's last night in Bianxi Village was spent in memories and reluctance to Xia Yan.
Although Xia Yan lay in bed for a whole day and night, not only did she not sleep, but she didn't even close her eyes.
She is not like Yan and Xu Changping guessed, in order to prevent others from seeing her sad and crying, she locked herself in the house and did not see anyone.
Because from beginning to end, Xia Yan didn't shed a single tear.
She just clutched herself in the quilt and didn't move, her big empty eyes open in the darkness.
She only felt that her heart was so painful, she wanted to cry bitterly, but the tears seemed to have dried up long ago, and no matter how sad and sad she was, she refused to shed another drop.
It wasn't that she didn't hear her name being shouted outside, but she didn't have the strength to respond, she didn't even have the energy to concentrate on what they were saying.
She just wanted to try to empty her brain and forget everything, and she didn't want to think about everything about Mu Fan again, because only then would her heart feel better.
But...... She couldn't even do this simple thing.
No matter how hard she tries, all kinds of things she gets along with Mu Fan will appear uncontrollably. And these will only make her heartache worse.
In a trance, she seemed to hear Master's voice. As for what he said, Xia Yan didn't listen to it sincerely. I just vaguely heard that the master made her strong, strong enough to control everything.
Hearing this, Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sure enough, he was still too weak, so weak that he couldn't even bear this blow, and even the master couldn't stand it and specially reminded himself.
This...... Is it really a blow?
No! Of course not. It's just that a friend is about to leave, and I'm a little reluctant.
But why does my heart hurt so much that it makes it difficult to breathe?
Is this what it feels like to be separated from friends? Xia Yan really couldn't figure it out.
Master is right, I really need to get strong now.
Only by honing an iron will and having the ability to control everything can you easily deal with all kinds of emergencies and not fall into this kind of field every time.
She is a person with the blessing of space, if she can't make a name for herself with the help of space, wouldn't she live up to Xiaoyi's kindness.
Five years have passed, she has not scraped together enough money to redeem Xiaoyi, it is indeed a little too lax, now is not the time to cry, after all, the silver in her hand is far from enough, she should work harder to earn money.
As for Mu Fan...... Just think that fate is over, let him go.
Throughout the night, Xia Yan was looking for all kinds of excuses to comfort herself, but it didn't seem to have any effect, and her heart still hurt.
She finally stayed up until dawn, and she always felt that it was not a way to hold herself in the house, so she wanted to go out for a walk.
But when she opened the door, she was greeted by two kneeling straight...... Snowman?
If you look closely, you will find that this snowman is not made of piles, but there are people in it.
Who is so stupid? Playing a snowman in front of your house on a cold day?
She looked at it carefully, and asked in a very uncertain voice, "Are you...... Shore Zhi ...... Tinglan? ”
"Yes, Miss, it's us." Seeing that Xia Yan finally opened the door, Anzhi Tinglan was overjoyed, "Miss, you are finally willing to come out." ”
"You've been kneeling here all night?" Xia Yanliu's eyebrows frowned.
"Yes."
Xia Yan looked up at the snow-covered yard, and then at the thick snow on the two of them like a quilt wrapped in a bed, and couldn't help but scold: "Do you know, it's three or nine days, and it's the coldest time of the year!" Are you stupid, you actually knelt here all night, and you are tired of living a long life, are you? ”
"Ting Lan and I have made Miss unhappy, and it is appropriate to kneel here and be punished." An Zhi said sincerely.
"I didn't let you leave with Mu Fan, who asked you to come back?" Being reminded by An Zhi like this, Xia Yan recalled that bad thing again, and her voice suddenly became a lot louder, "Hurry up and get up for me, disappear from my eyes immediately, I said it, I don't want to see you again!" ”
"If you don't forgive us, Miss, we will never get up!" Not only did Anzhi not mean to get up, but instead kowtowed to Xia Yan a few times, "Miss, Ting Lan and I know that we are wrong, please let us return to you." ”
Seeing An Zhi's actions, Tinglan also hurriedly kowtowed and begged Xia Yan for forgiveness.
The snow on the two of them shook down with their movements, and looking at the heavy snow that fell, Xia Yan's heart couldn't help but tremble.
How long did these two girls kneel to make the originally soft snowflakes condense into ice?
The scene in front of her made Xia Yan feel distressed, and she almost let go of her mouth and agreed.
Just when the word "good" was about to blurt out, she hurriedly controlled herself and changed her words: "It's useless to say more, you better go, my temple here is small, and I can't accommodate two of them." ”
"Miss......" An Zhi wanted to say something, but was pulled by Tinglan.
Ting Lan shook her head at Anzhi, signaling her not to speak, then moved two steps forward with her knees, and saluted Xia Yan: "Miss, you obviously promised Mr. Xu to keep us yesterday, why did you regret it after only one night?" ”
"Yesterday? I promised? Xia Yan was suddenly stunned and muttered in a very small voice.
"That's right." Tinglan's ear power is excellent, and Xia Yan's self-talk was heard by her sincerely, "You acquiesced." ”
"Default ......" was reminded by Tinglan, and Xia Yan suddenly recalled that there was indeed such a thing.
Yesterday, I vaguely heard the master say that "a beautiful girl will have a bad end if she is out, and if she doesn't answer, she will be regarded as acquiescence", which turned out to be referring to this matter.
She didn't pay attention to what he was talking about, and where would she answer his question?
Xia Yan felt that she had been cheated by her master again.
The old pedant who loves to preach will not stop before leaving......
Xia Yan was originally complaining about Xu Changping, but when he thought about it, he was a little disappointed.
The master left, but he didn't even see him for the last time, he was really too much to be an apprentice, and he didn't even say goodbye, let alone any blessings, so the master must be extremely disappointed in himself.
It's no wonder that Master's attitude has been so abnormal these days, he should have noticed something a long time ago, but...... Who would have thought that they would leave so suddenly?
The only master and his former best friend are leaving, but he doesn't even have a serious goodbye, which is really a bit unusual.
Xia Yan looked up at the sky and sighed secretly, "Master...... Mu Fan ...... Is it too late to see you off? ”
Suddenly, Xia Yan grabbed the hem of her skirt and ran around the two of them towards the courtyard.
"Anzhi, Tinglan." Just after running a few steps, Xia Yan stopped and looked at An Zhi Tinglan behind him, "Get up, go back to the room and take a hot bath, let Sister-in-law He boil a bowl of ginger soup for you, and cover the quilt and sleep after drinking." ”
The two glanced at each other, and immediately became ecstatic, and said in unison: "Thank you Miss for forgiveness, we will definitely take care of you in the future and never make you angry again!" ”
"Alright, let's go." After speaking, Xia Yan stopped staying and ran outside quickly.
I saw her steps fast, snow-white haze kept coming out of her mouth, and the skirt was covered with snow, but she didn't care about this, and silently muttered in her heart as she ran: "Can I catch up...... You'll be able to catch up...... Mu Fan ...... Master...... Waiting for me ......"
When Xia Yan panted and ran to the door of Mu Fan's house, he saw that the gate was locked, and there was silence all around, leaving only a few deep ruts.
Looking at the ruts stretching towards the outside of the village, Xia Yan lowered his head reproachfully.
It's late......
Still haven't caught up......
Master...... I'm sorry...... It's all Yan'er's bad ...... You must be angry at this moment......
Mu Fan ...... I'm sorry...... I still can't forgive you......
Xia Yan had been thinking so crankily that she didn't notice that her feet began to move unconsciously.
She was woken up by a cold wind, and when she really came to her senses, she found that she had come to a completely strange place at some point.
It was snow-capped and empty, and there was almost nothing as far as the eye could see, except for a few withered trees and a few faintly patches of mottled grass that kept her company.
Xia Yan didn't even know where she came from, after all, there wasn't even a sign around that could identify the direction, there were just a few paths that looked similar.
She turned around and tried to follow the footprints to find the way she had come, but the heavens did not fulfill her wishes, and at some point it snowed heavily, and even worse, there was a strong wind, and those footprints had already been covered so tightly that there was no trace of them at all.
She couldn't help but wonder how long she had been standing in this hellish place, and if she had come to her senses earlier, those footprints would not have been all covered.
But no matter how much she regrets it now, it won't help, she must find a way to get out of the predicament.
It was snowing heavily, and if she stayed where she was, she was afraid that she would freeze to death, so it was imperative to find a place to stop the snow as soon as possible.
Xia Yan looked around and found that the paths were really not much different. At the end of the road, she could only pick a random one and walk forward.
