Chapter Seventy-Nine: Repentance Again
Out of the Qianqian Cliff Cave Mansion, watching the stone door slowly close, there was a soft "pop" sound, and a piece of moss on the stone door fell to the ground.
Xie Danzhu couldn't help but think: "The stone gate of the cave is closed, and I don't know how many years it will take to open, and that senior cherry tree and that woman who is very much like the lord of Furong Mountain have been claustrophobic in the cave for many years? β
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, the cliffs on all sides stood thousands of feet, and at the bottom of the cliff it was a bit of a taste of sitting in a well and watching the sky, Xie Danzhu looked at the Furong Mountain Lord on a few steps, and thought that it was enough to jump down when he came down, so what about going up, can he jump up?
The Lord of Furong Mountain also seemed to be a little hesitant, not knowing how to take Xie Danzhu up the cliff.
Although Xie Danzhu stood respectfully to the side, the figure of the Furong Mountain Lord was still under his eyes, and he had an indescribable feeling, it seemed that the Furong Mountain Lord was a little different before and after entering the cave, but what was the difference was unpredictable.
The Furong Mountain Lord exhaled lightly, fragrant like a lotus, and said, "Go up." As soon as his sleeves were raised, Xie Danzhu's body couldn't help but rise into the air, it was as fast as a meteor, and it only took a moment to reach the top of the Qianqian Cliff, he didn't see how he came up, and he couldn't help but admire the profound mana of the master.
Xie Danzhu bowed down and asked, "Master, is there anything else you want to tell your disciples?"
The Lord of Furong Mountain stood still and said for a while: "It's okay, you can go back." β
Xie Danzhu didn't take the black wood crow, he walked down the mountain to the Soshi mountain house at the southern foothills, thinking all the way about the scene where he went to see Sakura's predecessors, although it can be said that there is nothing, but there is a mysterious atmosphere everywhere, and the mystery will not be revealed for a while.
As soon as I walked outside the courtyard wall of the Soshi Mountain House, the wooden door "creaked", and a small head with a double bun poked out.
Xie Danzhu quickly walked up and picked up the little girl, entered the courtyard, and then said, "Don't run out, you will be in trouble if you are seen." β
Lan'er nodded and shook her head, meaning that she wouldn't let people see it.
Xie Danzhu kissed her pink face and said, "Lan'er, when you go home with your brother in a few days, we are going to drink the wedding wine of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, are you happy?"
Lan Er nodded, squinting with a smile.
After that, there was nothing else to do except practice, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye, early in the morning of the fifth day of the ninth lunar month, Xie Danzhu took the little fox Lan'er, packed up some utensils, and went to the top of Qixia Peak to report to Elder Lin, saying that he was going back to his hometown to attend his brother's wedding, and Elder Lin told him to be careful when he came and went, and said that he would return to the mountain early.
Guo Liu'an of the Elixir Pavilion knew that Xie Danzhu was going back to his hometown today, and prepared a gift for Xie Danzhu to bring back as her wedding gift to Xie Tingsheng's eldest brother, but the gifts were two sets of children's underwear, which were not ordinary fabrics, they were woven with ramie grown in the Elixir Pavilion, and they were worn warm in winter and cool in summer, no prickly heat in summer, and no chilblains in winter, and they could be big or small, and they could be worn from babies to Chengren when they grew up.
Xie Danzhu said happily: "Thank you Senior Sister Guo, Senior Sister Guo has even prepared my little nephew's clothes, and my brother and sister-in-law will be happy when they see it." Thinking of something, he took out the popular spirit crane from the storage bag, handed it to Guo Liu'an and said, "Senior Sister Guo, this is for you, I have a black wood crow, it's useless to keep this." β
Guo Liu'an had long wanted to have a spirit crane, the spirit kite flew low and slow, the spirit crane was much stronger, Guo Liu'an was also a straightforward and cheerful girl with the surname Zi Shuang, and took it and said: "Then I'm welcome, hehe, I can take a big advantage - by the way, yes, I'll pick the spirit fruit that I want to give to Lan'er tomorrow and let Lan'er eat it on the way." Turning back to the Elixir Hall, after a while, he came out with a small bamboo basket of cherries, fed the little fox one first, and then handed the basket to Xie Danzhu.
Xie Danzhu put away the Lingguo cherry, said goodbye to Senior Sister Guo, and flew west with the black wood crow, Qixia Mountain is nearly eight hundred away from the small town of Shitian, with the speed of the black wood crow, it will arrive in more than two hours, when flying over the silver Jiao Lake, Xie Danzhu remembered the man in black who met that night, and now there are five small colored flags in the storage bag I don't know what it is for?
After the Yinjiao Lake, there are more and more people in the farmland, the black wood crow flies in the high sky, looking down, the countryside is picturesque, Xie Danzhu returned to his hometown this time and was different from the last time, last time he was worried that his father was sick, and he met the man in black halfway and tossed it for half the night, and was held hostage by the dwarf Jing Chu to find the tomb of Yu Danchen, dangerous and difficult, thrilling -
After half a year, I am in a good mood when I return to my hometown this time, my brother is getting married, and he has also become an elite disciple of Qixia Mountain, and the small town of Ishida has produced two elite disciples in hundreds of years, and the other is Fei Qingzhi.
Before noon, Xie Danzhu landed on the Fengxi River beach outside the west gate of Shitian in the town, and Lan'er turned back into the appearance of a little white fox, and followed Xie Danzhu to jump into the semi-circular stone arch in the west of the town.
However, as soon as he arrived on the street, Xie Danzhu immediately felt that the atmosphere was wrong, although those villagers immediately smiled and returned the salute when they saw him and greeted him, saying that Danzhu was back, so good, but their expressions were a little unnatural.
Xie Danzhu's heart sank, what's going on, is there really something wrong at home this time?
It's all at the door of the house, and there is nothing to ask at this time, Xie Danzhu strode back to his courtyard, but saw that the courtyard was deserted, and there was no lively atmosphere of happy events at home.
Xie Danzhu shouted: "Daddy, brother, Lan Mei, I'm back." β
The little white fox made a cheerful "chirp" sound, jumped up the steps, and ran into the house.
Soon, Xie Qinglan came out with the little white fox in her arms, Xie Qinglan is eight years old this year, her body has grown taller, her baby's fat face has also been reduced, her chin is pointed, and she already has the appearance of a beautiful girl, and the little fox Lan'er is still the same as when she was six years old, the little fox's Lan'er will not grow up, and now it looks quite different from Xie Qinglan.
"Brother Danzhu, you're back. β
Xie Qinglan hugged the little white fox and walked a few steps, trying to be happy, but she still couldn't help it, and tears fell.
Xie Danzhu grabbed a few steps, half-squatted to support his little sister Qinglan, and asked, "What's wrong, what about my father and brother?"
Xie Qinglan swallowed and said, "Daddy and brother have gone to Shanxiyi." β
Xie Danzhu heard that his father and brother were fine, but they just went out, so he put his mind at ease, touched his sister's head, and comforted: "Are you alone at home, and now that my brother is back, there is still a little fox." β
Xie Qinglan hugged the little white fox and cried: "I'm not afraid of being cold, Brother Danzhu, Shanxiyi's sister-in-law doesn't want our eldest brother." β
Xie Danzhu didn't understand, at this time, a group of children gathered at the courtyard gate to watch the excitement, Xie Danzhu walked over to disperse, closed the courtyard door, picked up the little sister Qinglan, walked into the hall, and asked softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, there is a brother, you say slowly, what's going on?"
Xie Qinglan wiped a handful of tears with her sleeve and said: " Originally, the eldest brother was the day after tomorrow, that is, on the eighth day of the new year, he married his sister-in-law in Shanxiyi to our house, but yesterday when the eldest brother went to Shanxiyi to give gifts, the sister-in-law said that he would not marry the eldest brother, and the eldest brother returned to Shitian but did not go home, sitting alone by the Fengxi River in a daze, it was so dark, and his father found him back, at first asked him not to say anything, and later said that his sister-in-law did not marry him, so early this morning, my father and my eldest brother rushed to Shanxiyi, to ask to understand, it has always been good, why did I suddenly regret it, my father said that it may be that the eldest brother is not very good at talking, and inadvertently offended the sister-in-law's family, so I want to apologize and let the sister-in-law still marryγ β
Eight-year-old Xie Qinglan spoke clearly and methodically, shedding tears as she spoke.
Xie Danzhu suppressed his anger, his brother Xie Tingsheng is a loyal and simple person, not good at words, last time he came back to listen to his sister Lan'er talk about his brother Xie Tingsheng's marriage, talking about the sister-in-law of the Miao family in Shanxiyi, his brother just laughed, obviously very satisfied with this family business, I heard that the sister-in-law of the Miao family also came to Ishida twice, and she also liked her brother who was healthy and honest, why did he suddenly regret it when it came to welcoming his relatives? What a blow this is to my brother, no wonder the neighbors and folks who came back just now were embarrassed, whoever had this kind of thing was a shameless thing, which made my father and brother look up in the future!
