Chapter 22: Missed
Bai Lian stood at the gate of Qingluan City, watching the carriages coming and going, waiting for Qin Yu and his party, and suddenly heard a noise not far away.
He took a closer look and asked, "What's going on?" The villager next to her looked at her and said, "You are from out of town, right?" Bai Lian nodded slightly. The village sighed and said, "Alas! The boy in brocade is the son of the county commander of Qingluancheng. The county commander does a lot of evil on weekdays, and even his son is a gentleman. Poor girl, who was originally an honest farmer in the family, but her father died of a serious illness. ”
As he spoke, he wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and continued: "That girl is helpless in the world, but unfortunately when she entered the city yesterday, she was taken by the son of the county commander, and the son of the county commander asked his father to snatch the girl back to the house on trumped-up charges, but the girl refused and was arguing." ”
Bai Lian frowned, what is the matter with this city lord of Qingluan City? Don't you care? was about to teach the boy in brocade a lesson, only to hear a "whoosh", a stone hit the county commander's son who grabbed the girl's wrist, and the county commander's son suddenly screamed.
"Oh, master, the apprentice accidentally got you in trouble." A childish voice came from the crowd. Bai Lian looked back and saw a young man in white holding a little girl in white in his hand, the little girl was only eleven or twelve years old, and her eyes were full of cunning.
The man in white said indifferently: "Apprentice, as the teacher said, don't worry about idle things, what are you doing with a dog?" There is that spare effort, and I memorize the Heart Sutra for the teacher to you. ”
The girl stuck out her tongue, "Master, Xuebian knows that she is wrong." "Bai Lian's body was shocked, Xuebian! Snowy edge! Her name is Snowside? Walked over and squatted down, looked at the girl's face, and wanted to reach out to caress it, but the man in white pulled the girl behind him.
Bai Lian stood up: "Her name is Xuebian?" The man in white sensed that she had no malicious intent, so he nodded. Can I see her? ”
The girl poked out her little head, and Bai Lian beckoned to her, "Come, come here, let my aunt see you." "The girl walked up to Bai Lian, Bai Lian raised her left arm, lifted her sleeve, no, no, she is not my snow edge, no. The white-clothed man's eyes changed, and he ignored Bai Pian's distraction.
"Boy, we still have to hurry." The girl may have sensed Bai Lian's sadness, gently pulled Bai Lian's hand, and said softly: "Aunt, Xuebian is going to leave with the master, if you want Xuebian in the future, you can go to Anxi to find Xuebian, Xuebian will miss you." ”
Bai Lian was slightly stunned, took out a piece of jade pendant, handed it to Xuebian and said: "If Xuebian misses her aunt in the future, you can go to the capital to find your aunt, okay, go, don't let your master wait in a hurry." ”
Xuebian slowly moved to the white-clothed man's side, the white-clothed boy took her hand and walked out of the city, Xuebian turned around and smiled at Bai Lian, Bai Lian also smiled back at her, if my Xuebian was still alive, it should be so big, right? Snow edge, my snow edge.
The county ordered his son to be so troubled and hurriedly went home, the surrounding crowd dispersed, Bai Lian slowly squatted down, remembered the past, buried his head and cried, Xuebian, my mother misses you so much, Xuebian······
Outside the city, the girl raised her innocent face and asked, "Master, why doesn't my aunt seem to be very sad when she doesn't see the birthmark on the edge of the snow?" The man in white frowned, "Disciple, the world is sinister, there are some things you don't understand, don't think about it." ”
Xue Bian frowned, looked at the white skin on his left arm, reached out and brushed it on his arm, and a teardrop-shaped birthmark appeared on his left arm, and the red birthmark was particularly conspicuous on the white and white rejuvenated skin.
"How many times has the teacher said that this birthmark should not be exposed in front of outsiders, and the next time you commit it, you will copy the meditation sutra for me a hundred times." Shaking his head slightly, this birthmark will set off a bloody storm in the future.
