Chapter 250: Going Our Own Way (Part I)
The secluded path is long and quiet, the bamboo forest is full of birds, and the simple courtyard surrounded by cyan is left and independent.
All of this has the meaning of some bamboo forest hermits...
Smoke rises, the smell of fragrant food fills the courtyard, and the occasional call rings out inside and outside the house, adding some lively atmosphere to this small farmhouse courtyard.
In this troubled world, it is a rare and desirable thing to find a place to settle down, live with your beloved, pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, and leisurely see the life of Nanshan.
But not everyone has such an opportunity to live here with their beloved, look down on the world, and guard each other.
Gao Wenfan is one of the many people who can't get their wish!
After Xiao Nanfeng appeared that day, he left this small courtyard and disappeared for three days, and then reappeared, but people became less silent than before.
It wasn't until soon after Forsythia and Jiang returned here that he took the initiative to ask to leave here, and now that Xiao Nanfeng had found him, he felt that Xiao Qingyue's side no longer needed him, and it was time to leave.
Today's day is a little stuffy and unbearable, and the screams in the bamboo forest are louder than the last, reminding people that this is the hottest time of the year.
At this time, Jiang and Forsythia were busy cooking in the back kitchen, Xiao Nanfeng was also driven into the house by Xiao Qingyue, and the green pothos, who was originally helping in the back kitchen, was hiding in one place and watching the movement in the yard at the moment.
Xiao Qingyue was sitting under a big tree in the courtyard and enjoying the shade, while Gao Wenfan was a little uncomfortable sitting at the stone table opposite at a distance.
Neither of them spoke first, and the atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Xiao Qingyue has always wanted to find a chance to talk to this guy, but this guy is getting more and more elusive, and a few days ago, he suddenly proposed to leave here.
Xiao Qingyue knew that he was leaving, mainly because he wanted to avoid himself, and after thinking about it, it was good to leave her, he couldn't always follow her, delaying his own future.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Qingyue sat up slightly, and first coughed lightly twice to hide the embarrassing atmosphere.
"Ahem... Then she was the first to break the silence and said, "Are you leaving today?" ”
The person sitting far away heard the question and replied with a muffled voice.
"Hmm!"
After thinking about it, he asked, "Are you going back to Yangzhou?" ”
"Yes"
"Or go back to Fahua Temple?" He had been living in the temple all the time.
Gao Wenfan smiled bitterly, "If I don't go back to Fahua Temple, where else can I go... "My family has long been ruined, and I finally got amnesty, but I am still destined to be alone!
Fortunately, the old abbot of Fahua Temple took him in, so he was able to have a place to stay!
Xiao Qingyue was suddenly silent, and she didn't know what to say to comfort her, she was just like him, it was too difficult to have a place of her own.
Slowly getting up from his chair, fumbling through his cuffs for a while, he took out a stack of things.
Pacing to the man who didn't want to look up at her, but didn't know how to face her.
Gao Wenfan kept lowering his eyes, staring at the ground, he knew that Xiao Qingyue was coming towards him, he couldn't help but be a little nervous, and the fists with his hands clenched tightly.
It wasn't until she stood still in front of him that she saw what was in his sight.
Xiao Qingyue was holding a stack of silver tickets in her hand!
Seeing so much money, Gao Wenfan raised his head in slight astonishment and looked at the person in front of him.
I saw that the woman had the light on her back, and there was a kind smile on the corner of her mouth, which looked very much like the way his deceased mother looked at him.
Xiao Qingyue said, "You are not small, you can't live in the temple all the time, you take the money, do some small business after returning to Yangzhou, or open a shop, and start again."
It's best to meet a good woman again and become a family, and she will be relieved.
Gao Wenfan snorted, got up from the stone bench, didn't look at the silver ticket, turned his back and replied with some anger.
"I don't want it!"
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but roll her eyes when she saw him react so much, and said angrily, "Why don't you, you always have to plan for your future, you have now recovered your free body, you don't have to hide it anymore, it's not better to start over!" ”
Gao Wenfan still replied in a tough tone, "I don't want your money!" It's good that I live in Fahua Temple, and the old abbot has always treated me well, so I stayed in the temple to help in return! ”
Xiao Qingyue heard these words with some anger, and walked around to him with her waist and said.
"Do you want to stay in Fahua Temple for the rest of your life and be accompanied by green lanterns, and die alone!"
deliberately avoided the gaze that looked at him, and pouted again and smiled bitterly, "It's not a bad thing to have a green lantern as a companion... ”
"You!!" Xiao Qingyue was a little angry, "You have to raise the bar with me at this time, right?" ”
Gao Wenfan wanted to say something, but when he saw that the face of the person in front of him was a little red and his breathing was a little heavy, he didn't know if the weather was too hot or because he was angry.
No matter which one it was, at this moment, he didn't want to say more bad words to make Xiao Qingyue angry, so he had to shut up for the time being.
Xiao Qingyue was indeed a little angry, glaring at the person who was still avoiding her, grabbed this guy's hand strongly, and stuffed the silver ticket in her hand into his hand.
The tone was even more displeased, and said, "Today's money, you have to ask for it, you have to ask for it!" I have always regarded you as a younger brother, and this money is regarded as a little bit of my heart as an eldest sister! No matter what you want to do in the future, it doesn't matter if you are flying yellow or Tengda, or you can be accompanied by green lights! The path is your own choice, I have no right to interfere, and no one else can arrange your fate and life! It's just that no matter which one you choose, I hope you don't regret it! I don't want you to spend the rest of your life regretting your impulsive decisions! Do you understand! ”
was preached by this slapping head and face, Gao Wenfan instantly returned to the past, those days when he was preached by Xiao Qingyue and Su Xing.
With a pouting mouth, like an aggrieved child who has done something wrong, he replied in a muffled voice.
"I see"
At this moment, Gao Wenfan deeply realized that Xiao Qingyue really treated him as his own brother.
pinched the silver ticket in his hand, and was moved and regretted in his heart, but it was a pity that such a good woman could only be his sister in this life...
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that he finally stopped refusing, her face eased a lot, and after wiping the sweat on her head, she pulled Gao Wenfan's sleeve and said.
"Let's go, let's go inside for dinner, you have to hurry in the afternoon"
"Hmm" responded obediently, so much like a pair of sisters and brothers.
The table in the small hall was already full of food, and everyone sat down one after another, but the people at the table were silent, the room was quiet, and no one took the initiative to lift chopsticks.
Xiao Qingyue was a little helpless to stroke her forehead, maybe the weather was too sultry, which made her a little unmotivated.
It's not been a day or two since they ate at the same table, but every time they eat, except for her, the other people are in awe and a little afraid.
All of this is thanks to the terrifying Xiao Nanfeng who is not angry and arrogant, and has a cold and terrifying momentum!
And today's man's mood seems to be even more dull and terrible than the previous two days, and his face is a little unpleasant.
Xiao Qingyue was a little inexplicable and didn't take care of him... Looking at a table of dishes and a table of people sitting dry, she sighed twice and raised the cup with tea poured down.
"After eating this meal, Wen Fan is leaving, let's have a glass together, I wish him a smooth journey"
Driven by Xiao Qingyue, Forsythia, Jiang's, Lupothos, and Li Xun all raised their glasses one after another...
There is only one person, Xiao Nanfeng...
The smile that just appeared on everyone's face couldn't help but be stiffened by the man sitting there with a cold face and an indifferent face.
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but glance at the man sitting beside her... At this time, the person beside her also looked back at her.
Xiao Qingyue couldn't help but look at him and motioned him to hurry up the cup, otherwise it would be so embarrassing! She didn't understand how old this person was, and he couldn't do anything with a child.
Under the constant gaze of her eyes, taking care of her face, Xiao Nanfeng had no choice but to reluctantly pick up the wine glass.
The frozen situation was alleviated, but everyone had just brought the cup to their mouths to take a sip, but they were shocked by Xiao Nanfeng's next words and almost squirted out the wine.
Among them, only Xiao Qingyue sprayed out the imported tea she had just drunk, but the others had to hold it, and Forsythia directly covered her mouth, for fear that she would also squirt the tea.
I saw that the man who was unparalleled in the world shook the jade white water cup in his hand slightly with one hand, and the other hand had already held the hand of the woman beside him.
Whispered softly, "Wait a minute, it's good for Madame to accompany me for a lunch break, these days my husband was able to sneak into Madame's room in the middle of the night, I'm really tired and panicked."
"Poof...
As soon as these words came out, the tea in Xiao Qingyue's mouth that she had not had time to swallow was sprayed out instantly.
Forsythia blushed, and quickly covered the tea that almost squirted, and Li Xun was even more shocked that his hands shaking to drink tea.
On the other side, the Jiang family, who had already come over, was a little calmer, but the pothos blushed a little embarrassed, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to Gao Wenfan, who was gloomy.
Gao Wenfan subconsciously clenched the wine glass in his hand, drank the wine in the glass, and poured himself a full glass again.
And the initiator of all this, but his demeanor was calm, he took out the handkerchief with a smile on his face, leaned over gently, and wiped the corners of his mouth as if no one was on his side.
Xiao Qingyue looked at him with wide eyes, and said in her eyes, "What are you talking about!" How can this kind of thing get so many people to say! ’
The man looked there, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was talking. 'I'm telling the truth, what's the problem'
After this meal, I can't help but let the people at the table eat different tastes...
There is no feast in the world, and in the afternoon, Gao Wenfan left the small courtyard with a simple bag and the silver taels given by Xiao Qingyue.
Just after he left, another person also carried his own package and came to say goodbye to Xiao Qingyue...
