Originally, I thought that after the master came back, there would be a scolding, but I didn't expect her to say such a sentence, "Is there any trouble"?

I think of the world too evilly, and not everyone is so careful.

"Mother-in-law," she said first, "I'm sorry we used your water." I'm sorry that there are no other people here. You...... You tell me where the well is, and I'll ask him to pick it up for you. ”

With the water of such an old man, this heart ...... I really don't want to go.

She ignored us, sighed softly, walked into the room on her own, and muttered to herself, "I thought she came out, but it turned out to be just a happy ......"

"This place, for more than 40 years, has finally seen someone come here."

She looked back at me, her eyes cloudy and without the slightest brilliance...... She is only in her sixties...... How can you be so old?

"Use it! Use it! I look at this female doll, the body is not very good. ”

In my heart, I suddenly felt a warm, kind old man.

Looking at the rickety back, I was even more unhappy in my heart.

"Mother-in-law, where is the well, I ...... I'm going to help you carry water......"

"It's okay......"

"No, I can't. I don't think I'm going to be able to get it. ”

She shook her head slightly, and said, "On the right side of my house, there is a path, you follow the path, under a tree, there is a huge stone, and the spring is under the stone......"

Originally...... It's not a well.

"Good!" I put the girl down, carried a bucket in one hand, and prepared to go out.

"I'm going with you!" The girl grabbed me.

"Don't make a fuss!" I whispered, "I have to carry water again, and I have to carry you...... I don't have the strength......"

"Aren't you very strong?" She shouted, "Besides, I didn't tell you to carry me?" ”

She grinned and stood up, "I'm not that weak. ”

I shook my head helplessly and said, "Let's go." ”

There are flat poles hanging on the wall. I'm injured now, but I don't dare to be reckless and pick up the water with just two hands.

When I came out of the tiled house and walked to the right, I saw a path, and the grass on the side of the road was cut off, so it was quite easy to walk.

Along the bamboo forest, the sound of spring water was soon heard.

This water must have flowed into the swamp below.

The huge stone is very eye-catching, and it is easy to find even at night.

Underneath the stones, bubbles gurgled out. Here, a large pit was artificially dug to facilitate the storage of water.

Around the puddle, there are stone-paved steps.

As soon as I got close to the spring, I felt a refreshing sensation.

The windless heat of the summer night disappeared immediately.

Throw the bucket in it, fill it with water, and then lift it up and walk back.

The girl followed me, looking curiously at everything around her, and chattering endlessly.

Not bad! She just loves to move, and if she quiets down, it's not a good thing.

It took three times to fill the water tank in the house.

The old man didn't know where to take out two pieces of pastry, handed them to me, and said in an old voice, "You guys...... It's all good boys......"

My eyes suddenly felt a little sore, and it felt a bit like my grandmother's pastry for me when I was a kid.

"Mother-in-law......" the girl looked at her and asked weakly, "I take the liberty of asking, ...... How can one live alone on this mountain? ”

The old man's eyes, looking out of the courtyard blankly, muttered, "Wait for someone ......"

"He's ...... to you Is it important? ”

"I don't know......" the old man sat down on the threshold and muttered, "Say it is important...... I don't even know her name...... So I don't know if she's important or not......"

Yaya and I glanced at each other, and we both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

Out of my intuition, I said without thinking, "Mother-in-law, did he fail you?" In fact, such a person is not worth your ...... wasted years."

"......No," she said, looking back at me, reproaching herself, "I failed her." I promised her to wait here for her to come back, but I betrayed her again.

She entered the Hidden Cloud Palace and never came out again.

It's a place that no one has ever been able to enter. She entered, but never came out.

Originally, I said that I would wait for her outside. But I betrayed her, and she never came out again.

But I know she's going to come out, and I'm going to wait for her here......"

For a long time, I thought she was talking about "she" as "him", and I thought she was waiting for my former lover, but it wasn't until later that I realized that my thoughts were ridiculous.

"Zhuo," the girl glanced at the old man on the threshold and whispered in my ear, "She's lonely, very pitiful, why don't we stay with her here?" ”

"Hmm!" At that time, I just thought that this old man was very pitiful, helpless, and alone on this mountain, and it was good to accompany her.

But I didn't expect to say anything, but I would know something unexpected in her nagging.

In the yard, I don't know when it started, there was already moonlight, a hazy hairy moon

。 The moon is not very bright tonight.

Yaya sat in front of the old man, took her arm and asked, "Mother-in-law, you ...... Don't have any other loved ones? I see it's quite desolate, so why don't you move down the mountain? We'll help you arrange accommodation. ”

The old man couldn't help but take Yaya's hand and said with a smile: "You two are good children." I...... I'm not going down, I'm going to wait for her here......"

Suddenly, she looked at Yaya's eyes and suddenly released brilliance, grabbed Yaya's hands, and said excitedly: "It's you!" It's you! You finally came out, and I knew you were going to come out, but ...... Why are you still so young? Why are you still so young? ”

The maid frightened her and said, "Mother-in-law, I think you recognized the wrong person." I'm not the one you're waiting for......"

"Nope! You are! I'm old, but my eyes are still good. You...... You are Sister Xiaoxue...... You are...... It's been forty years, why are you still so young...... You...... What happened to you in the Hidden Cloud Palace......"

"Little ...... Sister Xiaoxue ......, "I was stunned for a while, and then I thought of something."

Slapped her head suddenly, she said, but...... Ah Xue?

Ah Xue and Yaya have a certain "blood relationship", so Ah Xue and Yaya are also somewhat similar.

A Xue is Qin Yao's descendant, so she has more or less inherited some of Qin Yao's genes. And Qin Yao was cloned based on Yaya's genes, I dare not say that her genes are 100% the same as Yaya's, but at least more than 99% are the same.

Could it be that this old man mistook Yaya for Ah Xue?

Has Xue really been here? What the hell is the Hidden Cloud Palace? For what reason, Ah Xue had to go in.

Of course, all of this is just my guess.

In the absence of conclusive evidence, everything is just speculation.

The old man chattered and told us about what happened back then!

This matter has been buried in her heart for decades, and she should have wanted to find someone to talk about this matter for a long time, right?

When people get old, what they love to do most is to reminisce and recall what they have done in this life.

As for the person she said she was waiting for, I'd better call her "Ah Xue" for the time being.

What the old man's name was, we never knew.

All we know is that it started forty years ago that winter. At that time, she was twenty-two years old!

Ah Xue walked out of Hengduan Mountain just now, she is not deeply involved in the world, and her childishness has not been shed, so she has naturally become her "sister!" "Actually, Ah Xue is much older than her. I guess that forty years ago, Ah Xue was seventy or eighty years old...... Well! Maybe not that big.

The acquaintance between her and Ah Xue comes from Ah Xue's asking for directions.

Ah Xue inquired all the way where "Wanfeng Lake" was, and then met the old man in front of her.

The old man happily told her the whereabouts of "Wanfeng Lake". But she also kept an eye on it and followed Ah Xue all the way. She wanted to see what the little girl was looking for.

This is not because she is curious, but because she knows that under the swamp of Wanfeng Lake, there is an earth-shattering secret that can make the earth tremble! This little girl inquired about the location of Wanfeng Lake, could it have something to do with this secret?

In this way, you come and go, and the simple Ah Xue regards her as her good sister and begins to trust her unconditionally.

But she didn't give Ah Xue the trust of equal value. She's taking advantage of Ayuki.

During this period, when Yaya talked about how she knew this secret, the old man was hesitant and never wanted to say it.

I looked at her, thought for a long time, and guessed a possibility. That's this old man, who once did things in "red vs. black"!

If she really spent time in red vs. black, it wouldn't be surprising to know the secret.

It is estimated that this matter involves state secrets, so she is hesitant and unwilling to say it.

I motioned to the girl with my eyes and told her not to ask.

After "mutual trust", she and Ah Xue set out on the road together to find the swamp of Wanfeng Lake.

Later, the old man knew that Ah Xue's search for Wanfeng Lake was not the purpose, Ah Xue's purpose was to find the Hidden Cloud Palace!

The Hidden Cloud Palace is a rather mysterious existence, for thousands of years, only people know about its existence, and no one has ever seen it. It is like a cloud in the sky, fluctuating, which is why it has earned the title of "hidden cloud".

From the many data files, the old man knew the existence of the Hidden Cloud Palace, and knew that this was an earth-shattering secret, but that's all. Too much information, she can't know.

Compared to Ah Xue, she knew far more information about the Hidden Cloud Palace than herself. This had to make this old man frightened, what was the origin of this simple little girl, how could she know so much news?

From that moment on, she no longer regarded Ah Xue as a friend, but as a powerful enemy, and she continued to follow Ah Xue while writing ciphers to report the matter to the organization.

Later, they succeeded in finding the legendary Hidden Cloud Palace!

Just when she thought that all this was about to end, Ah Xue's actions made her heart beat even more.

Ah Xue, she actually knows the correct way to enter the Hidden Cloud Palace!

At that moment, she had to face up to the previous question: "What is the origin of this simple little girl?" ”

Facing the mysterious Hidden Cloud Palace, she was panicked, she was excited, she was excited and curious.

However, it all ends with the appearance of another person.

That person is called Wu Nan!

She also knew about the Hidden Cloud Palace, and successfully entered the periphery of the Hidden Cloud Palace!

Speaking of this, the old man's empty eyes looked in the northwest direction, a little resentful, but he blamed himself: "Wu Nan deceived me. She said that she couldn't let Xiaoxue enter the Hidden Cloud Palace. It is the heart of the world, and if someone touches it, it will bring disaster to the whole world!

I hesitated for a long time, and finally I chose to believe Wu Nan, and under her deception, I modified the functions in the Hidden Cloud Palace, which eventually led to the failure of the gate opening and triggered the mechanism inside. In the collapse of the sky, it was the light snow that blocked the falling sky and gave us a chance to escape.

From that moment on, I knew I was wrong...... I killed Xiaoxue......"

I see, it turns out that she wasn't waiting for someone. She is just pinning her endless thoughts, she is just waiting to kill her endless guilt.

Forty years have passed, and her spirit has gone insane.

I can only sigh in my heart, the most heartbreaking thing is nothing more than this, right?

And what the old man couldn't forget the most was that the Xiaoxue she said never knew that it was the old man who modified the functions in the Hidden Cloud Palace that caused the door to fail to open. Xiaoxue always thinks that it is her fault

It was the wrong way she opened the door, which triggered the mechanism. Therefore, she took it for granted that this responsibility should be borne by her, and the damned person was her, not this old man and Wu Nan!

What a simple little snow!

The sky of the Hidden Cloud Palace collapsed, Xiaoxue never came out again, and no one knew how to enter the Hidden Cloud Palace anymore.

That place, it's still a secret!

This remark made me can't help but think: "If Ah Xue is really the little snow that this old man said, then Ah Xue came over this time, is he going to Hidden Cloud Palace?" ”

"Mother-in-law," the girl glanced at me, smiled, turned her head and continued to ask, "Hidden Cloud Palace, what kind of place is it?" ”

The old man took Yaya's hand and said softly but longly: "It exists in this world, and it does not exist in this world. ”

Her words are a bit profound, I don't even understand!

Even if it exists, it does not exist. What could be like this?

It's weird.

After thinking about it, I still asked, "Mother-in-law, where is that Hidden Cloud Palace, is it convenient for you to reveal it?" ”

If Ah Xue really is "Xiaoxue", then I can now be sure that she will definitely go to this place. Since she is going, then Qin Yao will definitely look for her, and at that time, she can meet with Qin Yao.

"You ...... Are you going here? The old man looked at me suddenly, and there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes.

"It's better not to go to that place......

I didn't say anything, and when I asked that I guessed there would be such an answer. Then now I can only give it a try, to see if Ah Xue is the "little snow sister" she said.
