Chapter Twenty-Five: Bowls and Bowls

"They, your parents?" In front of the grave of Nie Yan's parents, the little beggar had already cried.

I don't know if it's because the tears washed away the mud on the face, but now I can see a little bit of beauty on the little face.

It turns out that this little beggar has a pair of smart eyes and a delicate appearance.

It's just that no one is paying attention to this now.

Whether it was Nie Yan or Xiao Qi'er, they were all immersed in the sad past of Xiaolong Town.

But in addition to sadness, Nie Yan also had a strange feeling in his heart, it turned out that someone was really sad with him, and the feeling of sadness was no longer so uncomfortable.

Nie Yan had never experienced this feeling, but he inexplicably remembered Master's words: "The cultivation in this world is to endure loneliness." In fact, it doesn't matter if you are lonely, you are afraid that after a person has experienced companionship, she will feel lonely and lonely. ”

Nie Yan remembered that when Master said this, it was the year when he was ten years old, and he was announced that he was going down the mountain at the age of fifteen.

I also remember that the wind on the cliff that night was very strong, blowing Master's white hair and his beard trembling

I remember that when the master said this, he looked at himself deeply, as if with endless melancholy and reluctance.

Today, I met with the little beggar Pingshui.

I don't dare to think that he may be leaving the next moment, because this is what it feels like to have someone to accompany him, I'm afraid that Master thought the same way that day, right?

I only blame myself for not doing more, and I don't understand the sadness and parting.

Nie Yan was so engrossed that the little beggar finally stopped crying with a sob, turned his head and asked Nie Yan: "You were still a baby at that time, how did you know these things?" ”

"Master said that." Nie Yan wiped away the undried tears on his face and said a brief perfunctory sentence.

The more you enter the red dust, the more you want to appear that you are just an ordinary person, in fact, looking at the prosperity of the red dust, who doesn't want to really integrate into it?

"Oh, you're lucky, too. Such a great calamity, you alone can escape, and you have met such a good master. The little beggar was pleased with Nie Yan's ending.

Nie Yan only smiled indifferently and didn't say anything.

In fact, no matter whether his parents die or the master appears, it is just his fate, and fate is cold and cannot tolerate luck.

At this time, Nie Yan had already opened the package on his body, took out two huge black cloths, and found a thick branch at random, using it as a tool, and began to dig the grave in front of him.

This is the purpose of his trip, to return to his homeland with the remains of his parents, that is his father's wish, in his memory, his father always regrets that he died in a foreign land, as a child, how can his father's regret continue.

Nie Yan's movements were very fast, and the little beggar also began to help beside him, even if he couldn't help anything.

On that day, when Master buried his parents, he did not bury his bones very deeply. So, after nearly an hour, the grave was dug up, and the bones of the parents were in front of me.

Back then, the parents' voices and appearances were still so real and moving.

Fifteen years have passed today, but it is already a real wreckage, and all that is left is a thought.

Enduring his sadness, Nie Yan began to carefully pick the bones and put them on the black cloth, and the little beggar beside him hesitated, and even helped Nie Yan carefully start to pick the bones.

Nie Yan was surprised in his heart, although his parents had turned into dry bones, but when the grave was dug up, it was still filled with a rotten atmosphere, and it was dispersed for a long time, and it did not completely fade away, not to mention the bones This kind of thing, somewhat hideous, how can a little girl, even if she is a beggar, dare to do such a thing?

But he didn't want to, the little beggar looked at Nie Yan as if he knew his thoughts, and his eyes were about to drip tears again.

"From the moment you were born, you had parents who took pity on you and cherished you. Even if I can't always be by your side, watching you grow up is because I paid my life for you to live. But I never knew who my parents were. I can only think that they may have treated me like this, but none of them have come to tell me about this past. ”

"Seeing that you want to fulfill your parents' wishes, I also think that if my parents are the same, I also want to be filial in this way. So don't blame me for being abrupt. ”

As he spoke, two lines of tears had rolled down the little beggar's face.

Seeing that Nie Yan's heart hurt slightly, but he didn't know what words to say to comfort, he was silent for a long time, and only asked one sentence: "What's your name?" ”

"Bowls." The little beggar said softly, as if he felt a little embarrassed that he had been crying, so he reached out to wipe the tears from his face and smiled at Nie Yan.

It's that kind of smile again, after wiping off most of the dirt on the face, with the delicate face, it is even more moving.

It seems to touch the hearts of everyone in the world, including the most cold-blooded people.

Such a smile goodbye was still so shocking, even the sadness in his heart seemed to be appeased a little, and Nie Yan said silently in a low voice: "Wanwan? ”

It's a very girlish name.

But he didn't want to shake his head and said, "It's not Wanwan, it's Wanwan, the word bowl for eating." ”

"Huh? Why is it called like that? "Nie Yan didn't expect that there would be such a name in the world.

"Because when my mother-in-law picked me up, there were a lot of broken bowls of flowers around me. My parents didn't leave a single word, saying that I needed a surname. So, my mother-in-law gave me a name called Wanwan. "It's a simple name, and it's even a little crude when used on girls.

But Wanwan is very happy for the name.

This simple happiness also infected Nie Yan, if everyone in the world is so beautiful, then what about guarding this world, slaying demons and destroying demons, and giving his life?

Seeing that the remains of his parents had been packed into two packages, Nie Yan effortlessly carried them on his back, tied the knot tightly, and then said to Wanwan: "Let's go, I'll take you out." ”

"What about you? Are you leaving? Wanwan asked.

"Yes, I'm going to go to my father's village and bury them there, you know." Nie Yan nodded and said seriously.

"Then it's okay to go tomorrow." Wan Wan rolled his eyes and said this.

In between conversations, the two were already walking out of the woods.

At this time, it was already afternoon, the sun was just right, the sun was shining between the branches of the trees, speckled with spots, the breeze caressed, the light points swayed, and the birds chirped, adding a bit of beauty to this grove.

It's a pity that Nie Yan didn't understand the meaning of Wanwan's words, and was a little stunned: "Why do I have to hurry tomorrow?" ”

"That's not simple, you and I meet in Pingshui, and we have done something together, isn't it worth having a meal together?" Wanwan smiled again and warmly invited Nie Yan.

Under the smile of the bowls, Nie Yan nodded unconsciously.

――――――――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――――――――

At the beginning of the year, the rivers and lakes were traveled.

Nie Yan is just lonely.

There is a lot of red dust.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with him either.

Whether it's a lonely walk in the mountains or an occasional break in the town.

He will always be just a person, and he will not be able to blend into this world.

Therefore, at this moment, looking at the fire in front of him, a group of little beggars gnawed on the lack of salt and taste, and their mouths were oily, but they were extremely happy with their smiles, and Nie Yan was a little in a trance.

I was so trance that I almost forgot why I came here, and how did I meet these little beggars? It's as if you were born to be here.

"Big brother, you're so amazing. It was so easy to hit three hares and one pheasant. Our eldest sister spent half a month making traps, but she didn't catch anything. I really want to eat meat. "It's the snot baby who is talking to Nie Yan.

Before, I was almost scared to cry by Nie Yan's grimace, but now because of this little game, I am very close to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan smiled, he didn't know what to say, and touched the snot baby's somewhat unkempt hair with his hand, which was already the limit of his closeness.

And the snot baby's words obviously resonated with all the children, and they cheered for Nie Yan one after another.

The world of children is so simple, as long as they are sincere, they will also give the same friendship.

It's just that Wanwan's face is a little unbearable, and he can't help but knock the snot baby, which makes the snot baby pout, and almost cries, calling out that he wants to go to the eldest brother, not the eldest sister.

It was night, and the children, who had rarely eaten and drunk, fell asleep one after another.

Nie Yan couldn't sleep for a long time in this dilapidated courtyard, so he simply climbed to the roof, looked at the brilliant stars in the sky, and was quietly in a daze.

Once in the small path world, sleepless nights, he was the same.

Today's experience is like a dream.

In fact, how can a teenager who has such contact with people at the beginning be calm?

But at this moment, a figure also climbed onto the roof, who is it not Wanwan?

The two remained silent tacitly, and they both looked up at the starry sky together, and were silent for a long time before Nie Yan spoke: "You brought these children?" You also got the fields outside the city gates? ”

Speaking of the fields, a smile couldn't help but appear on Wanwan's face, and he replied, "This is the first year that the crops are actually planted, and when they are ripe." We don't have to take turns begging. In the future, life will get better and better. ”

As she spoke, her eyes brightened, and she felt that the few crooked and not lush fields were all her hopes.

Nie Yan was silent again, in fact, he didn't ask him, and probably knew the background of these children from the words of the children before, all of them were wandering orphans.

It's better to meet together than a lonely wandering beggar, so they huddle together to keep warm.

Because Wanwan is the largest among them, she was also taught by her mother-in-law who had adopted her, recognized some words, had more ideas, and then became the eldest sister of the children.

Eventually, the wanderer settled in this dilapidated town.

Just because this place was destroyed overnight, you can still find many things for life, such as a winter padded jacket.

And then taking turns begging in neighboring towns, it should be all they have to live.
