Chapter 61: Memory Fragments (Part II)
(5th Update)
————
When the snow nobles heard the name of Quyang River, an indescribable strange feeling rose in their hearts.
Over the years, the Snow Nobles often have a strange dream. In the dream, a river will appear that meanders like a sheep's intestine. The river was clear, shining in the sun, and she was playing happily by the river, bathing in the river......
Sometimes, there will be some chaotic and strange pictures in the minds of the snow nobles without any warning.
A tall man with a short beard, a big yellow dog, a river like a sheep's intestine, a vague portrait, and a stone tablet with the word "Curved Sheep" engraved on it......
But it is difficult for these bizarre fragments to be stitched together into a complete picture, and it is difficult for her to connect these fragments reasonably.
All this made Xue Guiren confused and anxious.
So when Xichun mentioned Quyang River, Xue Guiren thought of the words engraved on the stone tablet in the picture.
Xue Guiren said to Xichun: "I have something important to do now, so you let that Bai Jinlin wait at the Wufu Inn in the city." I'll go there to see him when I'm done. ”
Xichun followed Xue Guiren's instructions to inform Bai Jinlin.
......
At the beginning of the unitary hour, when the Xue nobles passed through Canglong City after finishing their errands, she led the guards into the city.
Xue Guiren came to the Wufu Inn, and as soon as she entered the hall, a man Huo Di rose from the east table.
The man was in his fifties, tall and had a short, well-trimmed beard under his chin. This man is dressed in brocade clothes and wears gold and jade around his waist, and he looks like a rich and noble man. There were also two men with weapons sitting on the table, and they also stood up.
These two men are the retinue of the man in brocade.
This brocade-clothed man is Bai Jinlin, who asks to see the snow nobleman.
After Xichun informed Bai Jinlin, he came to the Wufu Inn and sat in this hall and waited.
The moment Xue Guiren walked in, Bai Jinlin's mood immediately became excited. He stood up and couldn't help but walk towards Xue Guiren.
Bai Jinlin's two subordinates all looked surprised when they saw Xue Guiren. Because of the snow nobleman, he looks like a young lady who has been missing for many years.
When Xue Guiren saw Bai Jinlin, the image of the tall man with a short beard immediately popped up in her mind. It's just that the man was vague in the fragments of her memory, like a layer of fog.
Bai Jinlin gave Xue Guiren a sense of déjà vu. Had she ever met this man in brocade? But she had no impression.
Seeing Bai Jinlin's excited expression and walking towards the Xue Guiren, the Xue Guiren's guards blocked Bai Jinlin.
The guards were about to reprimand Bai Jinlin, and Xue Guiren raised his hand to signal the guards to get out of the way.
The guards got out of the way, and Xue Guiren looked at Bai Jinlin, for some reason, she was now feeling a little anxious.
Xue Guiren said to Bai Jinlin: "Who are you?"
Bai Jinlin said excitedly: "I am the owner of Quyang River Lingfeng Village, my name is Bai Jinlin......"
Xue Guidao: "Why did you ask to see me?"
Bai Jinlin wanted to say something, he glanced at the several guards behind Xue Guiren, and didn't know how to speak. And there are people in this hall. Bai Jinlin was also worried.
Xue Guiren saw Bai Jinlin's concerns, and she said, "In this way, let's find a quiet place to talk." ”
Bai Jinlin hurriedly said, "I booked a room upstairs." ”
Xue Guiren nodded and said, "Then let's go upstairs and say." ”
Xue Guiren ordered the guards to wait downstairs, and also asked them to guard the stairs and not let the idle people go upstairs.
Xue Guiren followed Bai Jinlin to a spacious room upstairs.
During this period, Bai Jinlin's eyes never left Xue Guiren, his eyes were full of excitement and expectation.
Bai Jinlin's abnormal performance naturally couldn't hide from the Xue nobles.
Xue Guiren remained silent, she said to Bai Jinlin: "Now there are only you and me in the house, you can say anything you want." ”
Bai Jinlin rubbed his hands and said, "It's a long story. ”
Xue Guiren sat on the chair, she lifted the teapot, poured a bowl of tea, took a sip and took a sip. She still had a gentle smile on her face, and she said, "Then you can speak slowly." ”
Bai Jinlin sighed, calmed down his agitated mood, and then he said: "I have a daughter, named Bai Yushuang, she is beautiful and smart, she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, we regard her as a ...... in the palm of our hands."
Xue Guiren interrupted him and said, "You better make a long story short. ”
Bai Jinlin coughed, and he said again: "When Yushuang was fifteen years old, she and Yahuan went to play in the forest by the river, but they disappeared mysteriously. Only one portrait of her remained in the forest. Yahuan was also unconscious in a dirt pit in the forest. When Yahuan woke up, she had no idea what was happening. It's really weird that the frost disappeared. Yushuang's mysterious disappearance was like a thunderbolt for me and her mother. Since then, I have inquired about the news of Yushuang, but there is no clue, and she seems to have disappeared from the world. Half a month ago, my friend Zhang Peng went to the villa as a guest, and he said that he participated in the attack on the Divine Blood Sect and also met the Snow Guiren. Zhang Peng said that the snow nobles are very similar to the little girl. As soon as I found out, I set off to the Canglong Domain, and I wanted to see the Snow Palace Lord with my own eyes......"
Speaking of this, Bai Jinlin's voice choked, and tears flashed in his eyes.
Xue Guidao: "Then am I like Yushuang?"
Bai Jinlin said excitedly: "Although it has been eleven years, the people of the Snow Palace are really too similar to my daughter at that time!"
Xue Guiren's heart moved, she looked at Bai Jinlin and said, "You have a big yellow dog at home, right?"
Bai Jinlin said: "Yes...... The big yellow dog is still alive. Yushuang liked it very much back then and played with it every day. ”
Xue Gui said: "Is there a stone tablet on the bank of the Quyang River, with words written on it?" ”
Bai Jinlin was even more excited when he heard this, and he said in a trembling voice: "The fifteenth turn of the Quyang River, the stone tablet stands on the bank of the eighth turn. The above three words, Quyang River!"
At this moment, Xue Guiren's heart is really overturned.
The fragments of memories that haunted her, the tall man matched Bai Jinlin, the big yellow dog matched the big yellow dog of the Bai family, and the stone tablet matched the stone tablet on the bank of the eighth turn of the Quyang River......
What's going on?!
How so?!
Could it be that she was in vain? Or had she been to Quyang River in her dreams, seen the big yellow dog, and seen the stone stele!
The gentle smile on Xue Guiren's face was gone, and at this moment she looked confused, and she felt even more anxious, as if something bad was about to happen.
Xue Guiren tried her best to control her emotions, and she said, "Is that portrait still there?"
Bai Jinlin said: "Here, I brought ......"
Bai Jinlin took out a bamboo tube, he took out a scroll of portraits from the bamboo tube, and then gently unfolded it on the table.
The portrait is excellently preserved, with a green forest in the background, and a beautiful girl leaning against a tree, she looks ahead, her eyes shining.
There is also a bird flying happily to the left of the girl.
Xue Guiren stood up, and she stared at the girl in the painting in a daze.
Her body trembled slightly, and the girl in the painting was the same as she was ten years ago!
At this moment, Bai Jinlin couldn't hold back any longer, and he choked up: "Snow Palace Master, you are Yuxue, my daughter!" But why don't you recognize me?"
