Chapter 12: The World in Search of Her 2

Previous Chapter

Ping'an Town can really be regarded as a paradise, and to say that it is a paradise means that it is also extremely remote. The only way to get out of town is the horse house run by Uncle Bull and the ox cart of Uncle Horse Noodles.

Originally, Gu Nianci and his party planned to borrow a carriage from Uncle Niutou, but the three of them didn't seem to be the right time to come. Uncle Niutou recently went to arrest a fugitive who had escaped because he didn't want to drink Meng Po soup. In this way, the only way to get out of the underworld is Uncle Mamian's oxcart. The ox cart transports both goods and people on weekdays, although it is stable, but the speed is really painful. And in this snowy day, the cold is unbearable.

Fortunately, after leaving the underworld, they went up the avenue in one day, and the group walked for a few more hours, and finally found a post station. Gu Nian'an looked for a carriage to go to the night underworld, and the group's journey was faster.

The groom was extremely talkative, and as soon as he got into the car, he talked to the two of them through the curtain. (The main reason for the "two" here is that mortals can't see the dead Hualuo City.) From the fact that although the snow is heavy this year, it is not as timely as in previous years, he talks about the pros and cons of the imperial court's increase in taxes on rice and grain, and then talks about the current situation in various countries... He has the courage to guide the country. After walking for two days, the group finally came to an inn outside the night world. The group decided to stop here, and the coachman finally came to an end, saying that he would continue after a short rest. Gu Nian'an rolled his eyes at this. That enthusiasm is really impressive... Well... Unforgettable...

Next to this inn is a large ginkgo forest. Come to think of it, this is the last journey to the night underworld. There is a monument in the forest, which is engraved with the words "Patriotism is like home, virtue and prosperity".

Hua Luocheng stared in the direction of the monument for a long time. Finally, a second before the carriage was about to start again, she opened her mouth to Gu Nianci: "Girl, I... I want to go down and have a look. ”

Gu Nianci hesitated for a moment, and then she thought that Hua Luocheng would not be able to stay in this world for long, and she had no reason to stop it. Although it had nothing to do with her mission. She nodded, wanting to call Gu Nian'an together, but turned her head and saw that he had fallen asleep leaning on the wall of the carriage at some point, pursed her lips, and gently picked up the cloak on the side to cover him, and then got off with Hua Luocheng.

This forest is the place where Hua Luocheng and Yan Haonan met, although the leaves of the ginkgo tree have fallen now, Gu Nianci can still imagine what a beautiful scenery it is when the golden butterflies in the sky fall from the tree. Hua Luocheng walked in front of her with a light car, and she didn't know how many times she had been here in her dreams. Gu Nianci followed behind her, and somehow, she suddenly felt a little sad. This ginkgo forest is still there, the inn is still there, Hualuo City is still there, but the person is gone...

Hua Luocheng stood in front of the stone tablet and raised his hand to touch the words on it. After a long time, she said faintly: "Girl, do you know, whose monument belongs to..."Gu Nianci looked up at her fiercely, her lips opened slightly, she had a faint answer in her heart, but she didn't speak, Hua Luocheng said to herself: "Before I arrived at the night underworld, I lived here for a few days. She smiled happily as if she remembered something, "It was the most life-long life of my life." Back then, I must have loved this forest so much that I ordered someone to erect a monument here the day before I left. She paused: "The words on this stele are still written by me, and they are the same as the words on the stele of Princess Changping." It's just that the words on the Changping tablet were handwritten by her mother, and the singer Hua Luocheng is an orphan, and she has no queen mother. Hua Luocheng touched the words on the stele, not knowing if she could still feel the coldness of the stele now, Gu Nianci shrunk in the cloak, and looked at her silently with a pair of bright eyes. Hua Luocheng smiled lightly, she looked at her, only to feel that the curvature of the corners of her mouth was a little desolate.

From the moment she became a singer in Los Angeles, Changping gave up her identity as a princess. She always remembered, even after death, she never forgot it. Gu Nianci exhaled a mouthful of white mist, looked up at the ice crystals falling from the sky, the sky was gray, and there was nothing.

...

Back in the car, Gu Nian'an was still asleep. Gu Nianci took off the cloak that was a little wet on his body, rubbed his hands, and brought himself a cup of hot water, habitually wanted to take out a piece of candy, touched the lotus bag but didn't touch it, sighed slightly, and had to give up.

Gu Nianci was drinking water from a teacup, Hua Luocheng sat on the side and suddenly said, "Girl, the son I saw in your inn before should like you." ”

As soon as these words came out, Gu Nianci was almost choked by the water: "Nian'an and I have nothing to do with that person, and we don't know each other, how can people like me?" The girl laughed. ”

Hua Luocheng smiled: "Don't worry, girl, I'm just afraid that I won't have a chance to tell the girl after the night." Maybe I'm looking at it wrong. ”

"You must be mistaken."

Hua Luocheng hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, didn't speak again, just gently lifted the curtain of the carriage to look at the snow scene outside the window. Fortunately, although she is wearing thin clothes now, she can't feel the cold. It's not like Gu Nianci and Yin, and there is a feeling of being a human being.

After sunset, the carriage drove into Xiangyang City. Gu Nianci quietly glanced at the begonia flower in his sleeve, the petals were already a little wilted, which meant that Hua Luocheng was getting closer and closer to Yan Haonan. Hua Luocheng, who had a cold personality, did save her a lot of trouble, and she never asked Gu Nianci how she was sure that Yan Haonan was in the capital of the Night Netherworld, nor how she found someone. Hua Luocheng's domineering without too many doubts is that what she believes is not Gu Nianci, but her own vision.

But even so, Gu Nianci still couldn't tell her guests that they could find the person they were looking for through the begonia flowers. The reason is that she has to make them disappear with her own hands to complete her mission, and if they snatch the flowers and find them themselves, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. Therefore, Gu Nianci kept this flower very hidden.
