Text Chapter 22 A Song of Red Dust
According to the distance, you can go to the temple early tomorrow morning, because you have walked once, you are familiar with the distance, and it only took one day and two nights to come and go.
In the mountains in the early morning of late autumn, the air is exceptionally fresh, and the breeze is accompanied by the fragrance of bamboo, which is comfortable and comfortable.
A woman dressed in white in the Taoist temple was stunning at a glance, and the beautiful figure stood alone in the courtyard, looking at the surrounding scenery a little blankly.
Lao Dao came out of the Dao Hall, saw Ning Sitian, and said with a smile: "It seems that the recovery is almost over." Counting the days, you should wake up today, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”
Ning Sitian looked back at the old Taoist priest in a rough and green shirt, and hurriedly saluted: "Jiangzhou Ning Sitian, thank you Dao for saving me." ”
"Hehe, don't thank me, I didn't save it. Lao Dao grinned and pointed to the Taoist gate.
Ning Sitian looked back suspiciously, the gate was wide open, a bluestone path stretched down, and in the distance, a young man's robe was pinned to his waist, his boots were on his shoulders, and he was running towards the Taoist temple in great strides.
As the boy ran, he shouted, "Old man, I'm back, come and carry the wine!
A smile appeared on Ning Si's pale face, but it was even more shy and beautiful.
Ye Tingcheng's Xuan Gong was not as good as Lao Dao and Ning Sitian, and it was not until he ran to the door of the Taoist Temple that he saw the two people in the temple.
Ye Chengcheng was stunned at the door, looked at the two of them with an embarrassed face, and hurriedly pulled the robe out of his belt and put on his boots, "That...... It was inconvenient to go up the hill so ......"
Ning Si was speechless and looked at him quietly.
Ye Chengcheng smiled at her, obviously she didn't speak, but she secretly blushed, and after a while, she said, "You...... You're awake......"
"Hmmm......"
"It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. It's windy in the mountains, let's go into the house, you haven't recovered yet, take care of it again. I went to Mianzhou this time and bought you ten jars of chicken soup, all of which were sealed with good jade, and you have to drink a little every day, so that you can recover quickly. ”
Ning Sitian is still the same as before, joy, anger and sorrow will not be shown on his face, but Lao Dao saw that the girl's neck was pink and pink.
Lao Dao was very knowledgeable and didn't bother them, and when the two entered the house, Ye Chengcheng couldn't wait to take out the jade altar, take a bowl and spoon, and serve a bowl for her.
"This chicken soup, although ordinary, is the mildest and most effective tonic after the initial recovery from injury. You have to drink it every day to see results. ”
Ning Sitian took a sip and couldn't help laughing when he listened to Ye Tingcheng's ramblings.
"You buy ten jars, what year will I drink them?"
Ye Chengcheng almost never saw her smile, the first time he saw her smile, he didn't expect that smile to be so beautiful and moving, like the warm sunshine in the mountains, like the breeze on the stream in spring, like the bright moon at night.
"It's okay, drink slowly. It's always going to be finished. ”
"This time, thank you. ”
Ye Tingcheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "Thank you for what I am doing...... You are too polite, if you hadn't rescued me, how could I have survived to this day, if you want to say thank you, it should be me to thank you first. ”
"I remember the day I was seriously injured and in a coma, what happened after that?"
"That day, you fought with the man in black, was seriously injured and fell unconscious, I threw the Xuandan as a treasure, and then jumped off the cliff with you in my arms, fell into the river, and floated for more than an hour to be rescued by the fisherman. Thanks to the help of the old man, you were cured. ”
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"It's been ten days......"
Ning Sitian lowered his eyes slightly, suddenly remembered something, and said anxiously: "The poison in your body?"
Ye Qingcheng shook his head with a smile, "It's been fine for a long time." You can rest assured, and when you are fully recovered, I will accompany you back to Jiangzhou. ”
Ning Si's beautiful eyes flashed lightly, and he stopped talking, nodded lightly, and did not speak again.
"By the way, I redeemed your sword for you. Disciple of the Xuan family, the sword is the most important item, don't go out so easily in the future. Ye Tingcheng took out the Xuanjian from the bag and handed it to Ning Sitian.
"Thank you. ”
Looking at her shy appearance, she had completely lost her previous cold appearance, Ye Tingcheng only felt that her heart was beating hard, as if she was about to jump out if she was not careful.
Ye Tingcheng's cheeks were slightly hot, this was the first time in his eighteen years. He was a little nervous, and he didn't even dare to look at Ning Sitian.
It didn't take long for Ye Tingcheng to find an excuse, get up and say, "You drink slowly, lie down and rest after drinking, I'll go and send wine to the old man, this is what I promised him a long time ago." ”
Ning Sitian nodded lightly. Ye Tingcheng hurriedly ran out, his heart was beating hard, it was a very subtle feeling, nervous, excited, and apprehensive.
"Boy, finally remembered me?"
Lao Dao looked at him with a smile, Ye Tingcheng took out the bag and replied, "How could I forget you." Let's go, bury the wine. ”
An old man and a young man worked in the bamboo forest in the mountains for a long time, and bought forty jars in the field before stopping.
Many things, memories, like wine, need to be buried deeply, and they will become more mellow after the baptism of time.
The moon and stars are scarce, and the cool breeze is blowing. I don't know if I was overwhelmed by Ye Tingcheng's talent last time, this night, Lao Dao pulled Ye Tingcheng to the roof again.
There were two jars of wine on the roof, and Ye Chengcheng was very reluctant to come, because he was really sleepy.
Lao Dao was very interested, holding a wine bowl, and said: "I remember that night, the poem you chanted was really deafening, and it made the old man difficult to calm down for a long time." ”
Ye Chengcheng scratched his head and said with a smile: "I didn't write that. It was written by a man named Li Bai. ”
"Li Bai?" Lao Dao took a sip of wine and grinned and asked, "Who is this person?" ”
Ye Qingcheng shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.
"Are you going to leave tomorrow?"
"Well, her injuries are basically healed, and I have to go back to Jiangzhou with her. I have to go home, too. Speaking of home, Ye Tingcheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, revealing a wry smile. That is the home of the sword idiot Ye Chengcheng, when did he have a home.
Lao Dao patted him on the shoulder, showed a mysterious smile, and said, "Boy, do you remember what I said that day? One day, you will learn the Dao with me." ”
Ye Qingcheng pursed his lips, shook his head, and said, "Don't learn." I'm not here to follow the Taoist priests, I'm going to fulfill my dream. ”
"What is your dream?"
"If you are poor, you will be alone. Ye Tingcheng stood up, his words were sonorous and powerful, Lao Dao heard his previous sentence, he couldn't help but nod secretly, Ye Tingcheng looked at the bamboo forest in the distance, and said the next sentence: "If you are rich, you will have a group of wives and concubines!"
"Poof......
Lao Dao had just taken the wine, and when he heard his words, he instantly squirted out.
"You're young, you don't understand. Lao Dao wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "When you understand, you will follow me to learn the Tao." Remind you, don't just apprentice until you understand it. ”
"Why don't I understand? Let me tell you, this dream, eighteen years, has never changed!"
Lao Dao pursed his lips, turned his head to look at the white figure standing quietly in the courtyard, and muttered: "One day, there will be such a person in your life, and her appearance will let you know that everything you have done in the past is just to meet her at a certain time and opportunity." ”
Ye Tingcheng took a sip of wine, and turned his head to see Ning Sitian standing in the courtyard, she was still dressed in white, her long hair was casually draped, gently curled with a white gauze belt, and hung down on her waist.
Seeing the two people on the roof, she smiled lightly, sat down under the gazebo, took a bamboo from nowhere, and chiseled out a few holes with Xuanli with a few random strokes.
The beauty under the pavilion is like a cloud, and the flute is melodious and sighs.
In the silent night, under the simple moon, the woman in white played an elegant and dusty tune with a simple bamboo flute in her hand.
The sound of the flute echoes in the night, like a dream, a song of red dust sighs, where the rivers and lakes cause wind and rain.
In the early morning, before the dew dried, a horse-drawn carriage drove slowly through the mountains. The young man driving the car had a smile on his lips and drove the horse.
In the past, I always felt that the ancient technology was backward, and the carriage must be very bumpy and uncomfortable, but after driving it a few times in person, Ye Tingcheng found the fun.
In the past, it was just to be in a hurry, but now that he has no other worries and drives the carriage forward, Ye Tingcheng has only experienced the joy of traveling. The most important thing is that no matter how far the road is, there are beautiful people along the way.
After descending from Yunyin Mountain, the carriage traveled south for dozens of miles, and finally found Xuanhe in a town.
Ye Qingcheng looked at the ostrich-like creature in front of him in a daze, and asked, "Is this thing really a crane?"
Ning Sitian nodded lightly.
Ye Chengcheng circled around this crane, this thing was clearly an ostrich except for its white feathers like a crane. Moreover, the ostrich's wings looked very short, and Ye Qingcheng really didn't believe that it could fly.
Xuanhe, a Xuan-level Xuanjiao, has a gentle personality and no attack power, and the only advantage is that it flies extremely high and is extremely fast. Therefore, in the Lingxuan Continent, people's means of travel, in addition to ordinary horses, is this Xuanhe.
After all, not to mention how big the Lingxuan Continent is, just the Northern Chu Empire, if you want to cross the past, you can't walk for a lifetime by walking.
"Will it fly halfway down and fall down?" Ye Tingcheng was still a little uneasy.
"Don't worry, if something happens, I'm here, and it'll be fine. ”
"No matter how powerful you are, you can't save me from such a high sky, right?"
Ning Sitian smiled and said, "Although I only have the Spirit Rise Realm, I probably know a little bit about the wind of the Xuan Realm, and I won't fall to your death, so don't worry." ”
Ye Tingcheng pursed his lips, followed Ning Sitian, and jumped on Xuanhe's back.
Ning Si patted Xuanhe's neck, the Xuanhe shook his body, his short wings stretched out, and he flapped a few times, and suddenly the white light flickered, and the short wings instantly became a foot longer, and when he fanned, the air flow was turbulent.
Xuanhe flapped his giant wings and flew up, Ye Tingcheng only felt a current of air in front of him, and he couldn't open his eyes, because he was afraid, his hand subconsciously reached over and hugged Ning Sitian's waist.
