Chapter 16: The Mystery of the Stars
Xiao Han's injury was fine, although he hit his head violently, his consciousness was very clear, and he didn't forget anything. Later, in contact with Xiao Han, Gai Nie and the others found that Xiao Han seemed to have more skills than before.
Xiao Han was very happy about Ning Shuang's words. Ning Shuang is a gentle child if she doesn't open her mouth, but when she opens her mouth, she exposes her true nature, she is clever and likes to joke.
"I think she looks a lot like Second Brother Zhuang," Xiao Han said as he looked at Ning Shuang, who was bouncing in the distance, wearing two ponytails, wearing Xiao Han's pink skirt and cotton robe, and Wei Zhuang playing hide and seek in the plum blossom forest. Gai Nie beside him didn't respond, and Xiao Han nudged him.
"Huh?" Ganie came back to his senses.
"Brother Nie, what's wrong with you lately, so absent-minded?"
"I'm fine." Gai Nie dodged Xiao Han's gaze and looked into the woods.
"Senior brother has a problem in his heart that he can't solve, so he will naturally wander." Wei Zhuang led Ning Shuang towards them.
"Have you had enough?" Xiao Han touched Ning Shuang's smooth hair.
"Brother Zhuang also has something in his heart, when I hid, he didn't look for me well; When he hid, he didn't hide well, it was too easy for me to find out. Ning Shuang blinked her dark green eyes and began to play tricks on her little cleverness again.
"Second Brother Zhuang must have thought about South Korea."
Looking at each other, Xiao Han's dark black eyes went straight through Wei Zhuang's sea blue eyes to see his heart.
Wei Zhuang shifted his gaze in other directions. When Xiao Han looked at him just now, his eyes penetrated his thoughts, and he couldn't help but want to put his thoughts in front of her. He remembered that in the past, he also had the feeling of being spied on when he looked at Xiao Han, but unlike today, if she wanted to know, she could know it all.
Wei Zhuang froze and pretended that nothing had happened: "Yes, it's been more than two years since I left there, and I don't know what's going on there." ”
"You'll have time to go back soon."
"Yes, the three-year period is almost over." Wei Zhuang looked at Gai Nie when he said this, and Gai Nie didn't seem to listen to their conversation at all, still thinking about something.
"You don't have to wait until then, you can go back when spring begins." Xiao Han said.
Guiguzi in the distance called them to go, and the four of them walked towards him.
Guiguzi opened his mouth directly: "Nie'er, Xiaozhuang, you have finished learning what you should learn, only the matter of improving yourself is left, I will put your last stop before leaving the valley at the autumn equinox next year." When the time comes, the victor, I will directly teach him the Hundred Steps Flying Sword. From the beginning of spring next year, the two of you will not have to stay in the valley every day. Go wherever you want. ”
Wei Zhuang turned his head to look at Xiao Han, who was staring at Guiguzi.
"Daddy, Frost is not young, it's time to start learning something, right?"
Guiguzi nodded and asked Ning Shuang: "Shuang'er, do you want to learn medicine or swordsmanship?" ”
"Swordsmanship!" Ning Shuang said without thinking.
"Then I'll teach you." Guiguzi touched his beard and said.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were dumbfounded, and Guiguzi continued: "However, you are not in the same door as your brothers, I will teach you some swordsmanship that they don't learn." ”
"Frost, go and thank you!" Xiao Han pushed Ning Shuang.
Ning Shuang knelt down in front of Guiguzi: "Master Xie." ”
At night, on the cliff, the three of them talked about it.
"What's going on with your father? I don't teach my own daughter, but I teach an outsider to learn swordsmanship, and I also teach swordsmanship that my brother and I can't know. ”
"Xiao Zhuang, there are so many swordsmanship in the world, we will definitely not be able to learn it in three years. It is estimated that the master taught Ning Shuang is also a good swordsmanship, and it must be suitable for Ning Shuang. ”
"Then he can also teach swordsmanship suitable for Xiao Han!" Wei Zhuang was upset for Xiao Han.
"Second Brother Zhuang, many things have established good cause and effect, and my father naturally has his ideas if he doesn't teach me swordsmanship. But you said something wrong just now, Shuang'er is not an outsider, I treat her as my own sister, my father is her father, and my father wants to teach her martial arts, so it is natural that way. ”
Ning Shuang, who was secretly hiding in the woods, squatted down with her back against the tree, hiding her face and crying. When she was just sensible, she knew that she was an orphan, and she didn't want to embarrass her mother at home, so she helped her mother take her two younger brothers, but she was always sick, which brought too much burden to her mother, and their lives were too hard. When she woke up, she saw that someone was desperate for her worthless life, and she felt that she would never meet someone better than Sister Han in her life. It wasn't too early, Ning Shuang stood up and went back to the house.
There were no clouds tonight, the moon was a little dim, and the stars in the sky were very bright. The three of them lay on the cliff, looking at the starry sky, and the stars in the sky blinked at them.
Xiao Han said: "I don't know what you think of this starry sky? ”
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang described it as vast, profound, quiet, and mysterious.
Xiao Han continued: "There are some stars in this starry sky that are very interesting, they don't have a specific trajectory like ordinary stars, and they don't stay bright all the time like ordinary stars. There are times when they are bright, there are times when they are dark, and there are times when they fall. Each such star represents a person on the earth, and when someone is born on the earth, a new star will appear; When a star falls, there is a man on earth who leaves this world forever. These traces of the movement of the stars represent the fate of people on earth throughout their lives. ”
"Is this true?"
Xiao Han stretched out his hand and pointed to a bright star due north: "Brother Nie, that is your star." ”
Gai Nie looked in the direction of Xiao Han's hand and saw the star, and he suddenly had the feeling of flying into the sky, as if he was looking at a qiē on the ground in the sky.
"The one next to it should be Second Brother Zhuang's." Xiao Han continued.
Wei Zhuang also looked up.
"If you belong to yourself, you will have telepathy. Their location changes every night, which may be indicative of something. ”
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang were completely drawn into the night sky, and they could even recognize who the stars around them belonged to.
They had seen enough: "Xiao Han, there are so many stars in the sky, and they are so similar, how can you find our stars?" ”
When I lowered my head, I saw Xiao Han curled up, shrunk into a ball, and asleep.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang looked up again, and they found that the stars in the sky were all the same, and when they found the exact location, they found that their stars were completely unfamiliar.
The two of them looked at each other, and slowly, there was a trace of worry in their eyes.
