Unsheathed Sword Chapter 13: Red and White
Nothing happened overnight.
Near dawn, when people's hearts were most relaxed, a woman named Bai Xiaoyu opened her eyes, stood up, did not alarm anyone, gently walked to a small corner behind the Buddha statue, and called, "Sister." ”
A female figure appeared, with a yellow face, tall and thin, wearing a tattered red dress and dragging to the ground, the image was terrifying, forming a sharp contrast with Bai Xiaoyu's beautiful appearance.
Bai Xiaoyu asked her softly in a childish voice: "Sister, how are we going to trick this group of people this time, did I strip off their clothes or did I turn into a snake to scare them?" ”
The woman in red was silent for a while, and then replied, "The person I have been waiting for for twenty years is here." ”
Bai Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to react, and said, "You really waited for someone for twenty years, I thought you were a liar." ”
The woman in red said in a hoarse voice, a little aggrieved: "How could I lie to you about this?" You can't go wrong, it's been twenty years, and he's finally coming to me. ”
Bai Xiaoyu put away her previous indecent appearance and asked her, "Is that person that Taoist priest?" Not to mention, that Taoist priest is really handsome, if it is him, it is worth waiting for my sister for twenty years. ”
The woman in red shook her head and said firmly, "It's that scholar." ”
Bai Xiaoyu was displeased: "Sister, that scholar is not a serious person, he stared at me for a long time last night." ”
The woman hurriedly said, "No, he is definitely not that kind of person. He must have never seen such a beautiful person as his sister last night, so he took a few more looks, and it didn't matter. ”
Bai Xiaoyu felt very uncomfortable when she thought of her sister and that person's past. She asked tentatively, "So what should we do?" Why don't I arrest that scholar and let him stay with my sister forever? ”
"Absolutely not, then he will just become a puppet, he doesn't really love me, I don't want to wait for twenty years like this."
"Then if my sister goes out and talks to him clearly now, he must know his sister's sincerity, right?"
The woman struggled for a moment and said, "It's still not good, I will definitely scare him if I go out like this, he ...... I'm afraid you won't believe me. ”
Bai Xiaoyu hugged her grievances and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what should we do, do you want to watch him leave you?" ”
"In this case, you follow them to Binxi first, I'll follow you, give me a little more time, and I'll let him remember the past."
Bai Xiaoyu wanted to help her very much, so she didn't care about the danger of leaving the temple, and said, "Okay, sister, I will definitely help you fulfill your wish." ”
The woman in red was very moved, there was a mist in her eyes, she grabbed her hand and said seriously: "Thank you, it's really good to know you, otherwise I really don't know how I should live for so many years." ”
Bai Xiaoyu was about to say something, but when he heard a noise outside, he hurriedly probed out to see, it was Li Zi who turned over. She also realized that the conversation had been too long, and she was afraid of being discovered, so she prepared to leave.
The woman in red finally grabbed her, thought for a while, and said a little uncertainly: "You be careful with that Taoist priest, I always feel that he is very familiar, I ...... It seems that I have seen him somewhere. ”
Bai Xiaoyu nodded, didn't pay much attention to it, and then tiptoed back to his place, lying down and pretending to sleep, but his mind was full of the story that his sister had told her, and he couldn't put anything else.
Love, what kind of thing can make a gentle sister do such a terrible thing? Every time she thought about it, she felt a horror in her heart.
She didn't think about it for too long, the sky was bright, and Xu Huaigu was the first to get up.
He saw that everyone was still sleeping, and he didn't disturb everyone, and he found a bag from the small bookcase next to him. The bag was full of beautiful stones he had found in the Lingjiang River, but there were so many stones he found that he had to choose some of his favorites to take with him. Among them, there is a stone that is the most peculiar, half fiery red, half verdant, and there is a crack in the middle of the intersection, and the crack spreads from the center to the periphery, like a snowflake, which is very rare.
He couldn't put it down for a long time before putting it in the bag, and then he took out a copper coin and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully. This copper coin was the one given to him by Chen Wuhua, he really didn't understand why the kind and kind Uncle Chen would do such a thing, this was his only relic, and Xu Huaigu had always kept it well.
Human nature seems to be a very contradictory thing, you will never know what kind of undercurrent is turbulent under a calm water, and how many murderous and bloodthirsty evil Jiao lurks.
Just like a ruler, one end is evil and the other end is good, but many rulers are bent together at both ends, both good and evil, neither good nor evil.
Everyone gradually woke up. Li Zi didn't care about sleeping, when he got up, his hair was messy, his eyes were hazy, he rubbed his hands twice, made himself a little more awake, and stopped moving. On the other hand, Bai Xiaoyu, a lazy appearance of getting up in the morning, is not only not cluttered, but also gives people a sense of freshness and beauty.
Wang Haocheng had already thrown his sage books out of the clouds, and he was only thinking about how to talk to this fairy girl, but he was too timid to act.
Bai Xiaoyu didn't have a good impression of him, but he thought this beautiful Taoist priest was very interesting. She said smallly: "Yesterday, I heard that Childe was going to Binxi City, and the little woman didn't know where to go when she was outside, so she dared to ask Childe if she could allow me to go with me?" ”
The Taoist priest squinted his eyes and smiled: "The white girl is such a beauty, it should be Sun's blessing to walk with her, how can you say that it is not allowed or not?" ”
Bai Xiaoyu's eyes fluttered, and he nodded to him with a smile.
Wang Haocheng was first overjoyed when he heard that Bai Xiaoyu was going to go with them, and then he saw that she was paying special attention to the Taoist priest's eyes, and he was jealous in his heart, so he thought about how to talk to the white girl on the road, and by the way, he would damage this Taoist priest.
Bai Xiaoyu looked at the two children cute, touched the children's heads, and asked with a smile, "What are the names of the two of you?" Tell my sister about it. ”
Xu Huaigu hurriedly replied: "My name is Xu Huaigu, and her name is Little Pear." ”
Li Zi said angrily: "My name is not Xiao Lizi, my name is Li Zi." ”
Bai Xiaoyu frowned and thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "You said your name is Pear?" Is there any difference with small pears? ”
Li Zi said aggrievedly: "My name is Li Zi, Li of Li, purple of purple." ”
Bai Xiaoyu was a little confused, and simply said, "Anyway, it's almost the same, I'll call you Pear!" ”
Wang Haocheng saw the opportunity and hurriedly interjected: "The girl's words are wrong. Parents whose names are received cannot be called at will. This little girl's surname is Shangmu Xiazi as Li, purple represents nobility, and the meaning of the name is excellent. ”
He turned his head forward again, raised his head and chanted: "A glass of wine in the spring breeze of peach and plum, has the girl ever heard this sentence?" ”
It stands to reason that at this time, the white girl should have fallen under his literary talent, but the white girl didn't even look at him, but just replied lightly: "I haven't heard of it." ”
Wang Haocheng's heart was even more itchy, and he said with a shy face: "This sentence is about a beautiful encounter, just like a peach and plum and a spring breeze." ”
Cautiously tentatively, he asked, "Girl...... Do you feel that this verse is about us? ”
Bai Xiaoyu almost fell to the ground without a stumble, and replied with a black line on his face: "What did you say?" I didn't hear clearly. ”
"Uh...... Xiaosheng is talking about the girl, do you think that you and I are very fateful to meet? ”
Well, this man really asked again.
Bai Xiaoyu desperately resisted the urge to slap him to death, and had to answer him with a smile: "The little girl doesn't read much, I don't know what the word fate means?" ”
Wang Haocheng showed a smile that he thought was gentle, and explained: "Fate is the most wonderful thing in the world, it ......"
The rest of Bai Xiaoyu didn't hear a word. She grabbed her right hand with her left hand, and told herself desperately: Don't beat him, this is the person my sister has been waiting for for 20 years, and she must not beat him......
She suddenly felt sad for her sister, and after waiting for twenty years, she waited for this kind of goods?
Wang Haocheng is still talking about the origin of fate, quoting scriptures, and can't wait to tell all the ancient books. Of course, he added at the end: "Xiaosheng is shallow, but he only understands a little bit of fur, which makes the girl smile." ”
Bai Xiaoyu was speechless: Are you dreaming, can I still laugh? I almost cried......
The Taoist priest who was walking in the front suddenly spoke up, pointed in one direction, and asked, "Little pear, what do you see that thing is there?" ”
Xu Huaigu's eyes were sharp, and he saw it at a glance, and replied: "I saw it, it was a fly chasing a magpie." ”
The Taoist priest smiled and deliberately asked, "How is that fly now?" ”
"Now the word...... Eaten by a magpie peck. ”
