Chapter 11: The Good Death (1)
[If the mistake in this life is to meet, ask for a good ending. 】
"What's the name of the Daoist?"
"No return. The man in white looked light, and his voice was indifferent, "There is nothing to say, and there is no place to return." ”
Shang Shi didn't seem to see the rejection on his face, and said with a light smile: "I know, there is nothing without words, and there is no return." ”
"No return......," she whispered twice, "your name is nice, my name is Shansh." The Shang who loves Shang is the Shi that is hiding, but everyone reads another Shi, and they say that it is good to listen to and remember. ”
Wugui nodded, Shang Shi saw that he always looked lacking in interest, and asked again: "Do you want to eat something, it's almost a meal at this time." ”
He was about to shake his head to refuse, when he saw the little girl in front of him take out a piece of osmanthus cake wrapped in a handkerchief, and the yellow and white pastry was cut squarely, and the little girl held it in both hands and sent it to him.
He looked down and could see her sparkling eyes looking at him with a smile, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.
Shang Shi held the osmanthus cake, but didn't say a word, just waiting for no return to take it over.
The imperial concubine who was famous for her beauty in the previous dynasty was praised by the world as "looking back and smiling at a hundred beautiful people, and the harem has no color", no return can not imagine such a smile, but in the next few decades of wandering in the rivers and lakes, he can no longer forget the bright smile in front of him.
He stretched out his hand to take the osmanthus cake, but he only lowered his eyes to look at it, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.
It was probably the first time in the past 20 years or so that I knew what it was like to hesitate.
Shang Shi saw that he just didn't eat it, and he didn't feel uncomfortable or embarrassed at all, she had long heard that this Taoist elder was indifferent by nature and didn't like to socialize with people, in her opinion, it was an unexpected joy to be able to take her osmanthus cake, she simply turned her back and told him how popular this osmanthus cake was recently.
The children of the rivers and lakes are open-minded and don't like to speculate on people's hearts, she doesn't think about why he doesn't eat it, she only knows that she wants him to taste this osmanthus cake, so she spends more effort to make him speak.
"Miss Shang, there are still some trivial matters in the poor road. After a while, Wu Gui interrupted Shang Shi, "What else do you have to do?"
"Are you leaving?" he said without hesitation, and Shang Shi could naturally hear the rejection and farewell in his words, but she didn't feel sad either.
Let's go, she has no right to decide whether he goes or stays, but he can't stop her from chasing after him.
Shang Shi has already thought about it, she has no relatives around her, and she has been alone for so many years, and now she finally fell in love with someone, so she simply followed him, even if she couldn't be a lover in the end, she could become a friend who talked about the world.
She liked him so much.
When I saw him for the first time, he stood quietly in the crowd in a plain blue and white robe, and his expression was also faint, and he was not very ancient.
But she saw in the indifference of isolation from the world that she couldn't ask for.
But she doesn't want to pursue too much and lose her proportion, she just wants to follow her heart and face it calmly.
There are so many people in this world, they love to part, and they can't ask for it. She had been one of them, confused and distressed, but since the first time she saw him, she knew what she wanted.
Wugui could see the honesty in her eyes, that kind of eyes were clear and clean, and determined, which made him not reject and bored her, and he even had a good impression of her, so he nodded and said: "Poor Dao is out to take on important tasks outside, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time." ”
In his memory, all his time, except for cultivating in Taoist temples, was to travel outside and complete the so-called important tasks.
He would often wake up early in the morning and find a letter on his desk, with a letter on it that he had to accomplish, and he didn't know who left it for him, and he didn't know why he wouldn't refuse.
It seems that the purpose of his existence is probably to accomplish something.
Nothing else.
He had tried to check it, but he couldn't find anything. The man knew all his secrets, and he knew nothing about the man.
It was an unfair deal, and he was in no position to refuse it from the beginning.
Strange, Homeless has felt confused more than once, but has never stopped doing so. It was like obedience engraved in his bones, and there was no other way.
"Is it convenient for the Taoist chief to reveal where he will go next?" Shang Shi's eyes were calm, "Shang Shi has been wandering the rivers and lakes alone since he was a child, and now he sees the Taoist chief at first sight, so he wants to spend more time together." But rest assured, Shang Shi is by no means the kind of woman who doesn't know how to measure. ”
Miss Shang laughed. Wherever Miss Shang wants to go, it is your freedom, and Poor Dao will definitely not have anything to say. There was no superfluous expression on Wugui's face, just a bow, "Next, Poor Dao will go to Xiangze County." ”
It was not surprising that this person who did not care about the world and had an open heart would say these words. She smiled and hugged her sword and saluted, "Thank you for not giving up." ”
Xiangze County is not far from where they are staying now, but it is not close, and if you ride a horse, it will be about three or five days.
Along the way, the two walked together. Wugui has never had anything to say, and Shang Shi is not a person of many words, but the wordless relationship between the two is unexpectedly comfortable.
Shansh would sometimes sneak a few glances at him when he was not looking.
Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Tan Yangguan's No Return Dao is very good-looking, and he looks even more elegant and handsome when he wears that blue and white robe, but the indifference and alienation around him isolate him from the world, and make him seem too far away.
He has walked through mountains and rivers, and has also experienced the wear and tear of green shirts and dust into his sideburns, this world for him, there is probably only the hustle and bustle of living beings, but this, he doesn't need it. So the diaphragm has become his protective layer.
Shang Shi felt that the indescribable feelings were getting deeper and deeper, from the initial appreciation to the current good feeling.
She believed that it was called fate - he was indifferent and dustless, and she was lonely and silent.
He may not be able to bring her security, but he does give her security. This is a feeling she has never experienced in her 20 years of wandering.
Gradually, no return also began to see Shanshi.
His martial arts are strong and his internal strength is profound, and his perception of the outside world is stronger than her by more than a little, so naturally he can't ignore her gaze.
There is no shortage of beauties in the rivers and lakes, and Shang Shi is also one of them, but the beauty has dry bones and the beauty of skin is the lowest. What he saw was the cheerfulness and open-mindedness she hid beneath her exterior.
She was frank and free, and even he could vaguely see her affection and nature.
Wugui listened to the nursery rhymes and mountain songs she sang casually, and watched her not see the delicate but not rude movements of the woman at all, and sometimes there was a moment of distraction.
