"Uncle Shi," the hairpin said to him, "come and sit down." ”

Gu Baiying stared at the rain outside the cave: "There is a lighting charm." ”

"The Illuminator just has light, this one is different." Hairpin Xing pulled the branch: "It's too cold, there is a fire to warm up." ”

Gu Baiying didn't move.

She thought about it, and said without words: "Uncle Shi, I'm a little hungry, do you still have any pastries left for you by the master of the family?" ”

He didn't answer, and Mimi carefully circled the fire, finding a safe place to lie down and roast its fluffy tail.

There was only this only warmth in the cave, the figure fell on the stone wall, swaying slightly, and outside the cave was a cold and rainy day.

She heard Gu Baiying's voice sound, calm and unable to distinguish joy and anger.

He said: "When I was a child, the head of the house told me that the winged flower tree in the courtyard of the Xiaoyao Palace was transplanted by my mother. ”

"She used a lot of elixir to water, and the winged flower tree grew very quickly, and in less than half a year, it was already flourishing."

"But the winged tree never bloomed."

"I heard that my mother used illusion to make the trees bloom, and the palace was lively. When I grew up, I always thought that if the winged tree bloomed, she would come back. ”

The boy said lightly: "That's why I learned illusion." ”

Hairpin Xing's heart moved, in the courtyard of the inn in Li'er Country, Gu Baiying had depreciated illusion to worthless, and at that time Hairpin Xing asked him: "According to what Uncle Shi said, we who cultivate immortals, practicing illusion is meaningless and has no advantage, so why does Uncle Shi still want to learn it?" You can't just want to see a tree that blooms in the winter, right? ”

It turned out that he was really for a tree that would bloom.

"The head told me that my mother was born in the sect, and in the past, I liked to eat the pear blossom cake made by the head of the sect, so I also learned. I thought, when she comes back, I'll make it for her with my own hands. ”

"I waited for many years and she didn't come back."

His voice was scattered in the wind, as if it was about to freeze in the night. The boy leaned against the stone wall, looking at the deep mountain in the distance, the fire in the cave reflected his pupils like stars, silent and beautiful. The bright hairband was not as flamboyant as it used to be, and fell softly on the shoulders like a dark flower.

He said: "I have thought many times about what my biological father looks like, and I have guessed what my mother will look like when she sees me. ”

And then what?

Fate seemed a little cruel to him. There are no earth-shattering grievances and hatreds, but there are mistakes everywhere.

"Fairy Qinghua is an amazing person." Hairpin Xing said softly: "Master Gu also has great righteousness, if there is no them, there would be no immortal cultivation world today, and there would be no peace for the people today." Thankfully, they're not bad people. ”

"I know."

He lowered his eyes, as if decades of camouflage had been found at this moment, in this cold and rainy night, and then suddenly cracked, vulnerable.

The hairpin looked over and saw that between the young man's eyelashes, there seemed to be a broken star, and on the pearl-colored cloud satin brocade robe, the vermilion goose spread its wings and was about to fly, and the brilliance was brilliant, and he looked so lonely, as if he was left alone in this heaven and earth.

“...... Uncle," she asked in a low voice, "Are you crying?" ”

Gu Baiying did not answer.

Mimi lazily rolled over, and the warm orange fire continued to burn, working tirelessly to banish the cold of the rainy night.

The hairpin moved a little in front of him, and said softly: "Uncle Shi, in this world, there are people with good luck and people with not so good luck. Qinghua Fairy and Gu Shizu, their luck is a little worse, but it is always a happy thing to be able to meet again. She picked up a branch, there was still a little fire left on the branch, and the meager light illuminated a small piece of the rainy night, and she said: "You see, on the same rainy night, Fairy Qinghua and Master Gu also spent it together. What you and I have said, maybe they have talked about it too. ”

"When people get along with people, apart from meeting is separation. There are many separations, few encounters, and being alive is always so. "The hairpin stared into the distance, the cave divided the world into two parts, the cave was warm, and the outside of the cave was as cold as a winter night.

"If you hadn't followed us to the secret realm of the Li'er Country, if Mendong hadn't picked the golden flower, if Tan Tianxin hadn't rushed out to stir up the situation, if I hadn't been caught by the Golden Flower Tiger, if we hadn't fallen into the stone chamber together, if I hadn't learned the "Qing'e Flower Stick", if you hadn't been injured and bled to save me...... We won't enter the secret room, we won't see the painting, we won't have a reunion between you and the Qinghua Fairy. Hairpin said: "Look, there are so many 'ifs', not one less, but we still met your mother, it can be seen that in the dark, you are destined to meet again." In this way, luck is not bad in the end. ”

She smiled, and brought the branch in her hand closer to Gu Baiying's side, and a little subtle warmth was transmitted. Hairpin said: "The winged flower of the Xiaoyao Hall is the most beautiful flower I have ever seen, and it is not a disadvantage to learn this illusion." ”

"Illusion is fake." Gu Baiying finally spoke.

"But your desire for it to blossom at that moment is real." Hairpin said: "Isn't it? ”

He didn't speak.

"The pear blossom cake is also delicious, Gu Baiying, believe me, if the Qinghua Fairy tastes it, she will definitely like it." She touched the arm of the person beside her.

There was silence in the cave.

After a long, long time, the young man frowned, as if he was gradually withdrawn from Fang Cai's depressed mood, he turned his head, his eyes were as bright as before, and asked, "Who told you to call me by my name?" ”

Hairpin Star was stunned.

"Yang Haixing, I am your uncle, your elder, you are a junior, you are not allowed to call me that in the future," he glanced at the burning branch in Hairpin Xing's hand, stepped aside, and warned: "Don't get so close to me." ”

Hey, is this alive again?

Hairpin Xing looked at him, saw that he had cold eyebrows, and took out the transmission note from the Qiankun bag quite dissatisfied, probably preparing for the search for someone early tomorrow morning, so he relaxed a little.

In the past, friends used to say that she seemed to be very fond of kittens and dogs, and the wild cats downstairs always loved to circle around her feet. And Gu Baiying's appearance of sitting with his eyes down is like a puppy that is drenched in the rain and is reluctant to enter the house, which is really pitiful.

So she could only patiently collect some words to comfort the young man, and I don't know if those words made him feel a little relieved. However, a person who can live in the sect with that wanton appearance, even if he is disguised, will not be a fragile person. He will come out quickly, there is no doubt about that.

She returned to the fire, threw the branch into the burning fire, and said casually: "Got it, don't worry, uncle, I won't tell anyone about your crying, I will keep it a secret for you, if you can give me more pear blossom cake." ”

Gu Baiying's face changed slightly: "You threaten me?" Fu reacted again: "Who cried?" Yang Hairpin Xing, don't be a fool! ”

Hairpin shrugged his shoulders: "Tut-tut, it's in vain that I comfort you so sincerely, it turns out that the elders of the sect don't like to tell the truth, just don't say it, don't say it, no one will see it anyway." ”

"Yang Hairpin Star!"

There was a lot of noise in the cave, and Yami raised her eyelids to look at the noisy two, stretched out, and fell asleep again. The fire burned quietly, in the wind of a cold rainy night, as if it would burn out in the next moment, and as bright as if it would never be extinguished.

......

The rain is getting lighter.

From pouring rain to drizzling, the mountain night is still cold, but the wind is no longer blowing.

The dead branches in the fire burned, making a sound of "peeling off". There was clearly only a small pile, but the warmth filled the cave.

The head of the person on his side bit by bit, like a chicken pecking rice, finally seemed to be unsupported, and his head tilted and leaned on the young man's shoulder.

Gu Baiying looked sideways slightly.

The woman rubbed his shoulder, as if she felt that the corners of his clothes were soft and good, and the black marks on her cheeks became blurred in the dim firelight, and when she closed her eyes, she was not as annoying as she was in the daytime, and she looked quiet and gentle.

Obviously, she is the culprit who snatched the seeds of the piano worms, and her cultivation is not very high, but she is the "destined person" who can save the world from fire and water, which sounds ridiculous, but ......

But......

His gaze fell on the two rough clay puppets in the palm of his hand.

But at least tonight, her presence makes the moment seem less lonely.

The fat cat was by the fire, snoring in a daze. Gu Baiying reached out to push the other party's head away, and when her hand was about to touch her hair, she caught a glimpse of the cloth strip in her palm.

He froze for a while, withdrew his hand, and let the woman sleep soundly on his shoulder.

In the night, the boy looked at the lonely mountains in the distance.

Maybe she was right, the flame is warmer than the rune paper, there are always more separations than encounters in life, and he is just a little less lucky than others.

It's always like this in life.

......

Hairpin Star slept until dawn all night.

When I woke up, the sunlight had already penetrated the trees at the entrance of the cave, shaking people's eyes sour. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and saw Gu Baiying walking in from outside, her brocade clothes were as neat as new, and she didn't know if she was going to perform a cleaning technique or what she was doing. Hairpin asked, "Uncle Shi, when is it?" ”

"What do you say?" After last night's careful enlightenment, this person seemed to be completely well, and he looked disgusted: "If the sect is full of sleepy disciples like you, I think the Taiyan faction will become a shame in the immortal cultivation world sooner or later." ”

Hairpin Xing yawned, and while getting up, he used the cleaning technique to tidy himself up, and said: "I haven't been idle in the past few days, and I was beaten all over the ground by your mother in the middle of the painting, of course you don't care, my waist still hurts......"

The Qinghua Fairy is really beautiful, and she is really ruthless.

Gu Baiying was about to speak, when she suddenly heard an excited shout outside: "Senior sister! Uncle Seven! ”

It was Tian Fangfang's voice.

Hairpin Xing looked over in surprise, and saw that from near the cave, Tian Fangfang was running towards this side with his golden axe, and behind him was Meng Ying and them.

"You're here!"
