Chapter 29: Reunion
Mo Yun seemed to say something in Mo An's ear, Mo An nodded in response, and the carriage began to move forward with the sound of "Drive...".
Because the snow on the ground was too thick, the carriage was bumpy all the way, Mo Yun kept coughing, and Ji Nuan originally had something to ask, so he had to endure it.
With the sound of "hoo", the carriage slowly stopped, and Ji Nuan got out of the carriage first. In front of me is a bamboo forest, and there is a bamboo house in the bamboo forest, and in front of the house are several blooming red plum trees.
Ji Nuan looked back in confusion, but Mo Yun didn't get out of the car, and then smiled at her and said, "This bamboo house can be sheltered from the wind and snow temporarily, so the girl will stay here for a few days!"
Then Mo An got out of the car and handed her a bag of dry food, and without waiting for Ji Nuan to ask again, they had already walked away.
Ji Nuan was puzzled, but he still pushed the door and walked in. The room is simply furnished, except for a set of tables and chairs, only a bed and a guqin remain, and a pot of sake is placed on the table.
Ji Nuan walked to the guqin and sat down, and when he saw that the guqin had broken a string, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke the strings gently, 'Bell...', the guqin immediately made an unpleasant noise.
"Why is this place so cold, it feels like...". She felt that this place was quite suitable for Song Wangchen to live in.
"Heh...", Ji Nuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, took out a baked cake and ate it, looking at the flying snow in the sky and falling into contemplation again.
sat like this until the evening, but the snow did not stop for a moment, the cold wind was blowing, Ji Nuan got up and closed the door, and then walked to the head of the bed and lay down.
She was covered with a thin blue quilt, her eyes staring straight at the roof, and she didn't feel the slightest sleep. The sound of the cold wind whistling, as if the bamboo house would be blown down by the wind as soon as I fell asleep, finally closed my eyes in a daze.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and Song Wangchen closed the door and slowly approached. He was covered with a thick layer of snow and seemed to have been standing in the snow for a long time.
He looked at the person in front of him, and his heart was full of melancholy, it was good to be able to look at her quietly like this.
Ji Nuan felt unusually cold in his sleep, and curled up unconsciously.
Seeing this, Song Wangchen immediately entered spiritual power for her, she suddenly felt a lot warmer, and a sweet smile appeared on her face, and Song Wangchen stayed like this all night.
Early the next morning, Ji Nuan woke up from freezing. She had felt very warm before, but it was cold as soon as it dawned.
I got up and opened the window, but the snow still didn't mean to stop, "Alas, this snow won't fall until the New Year!" After saying that, he opened the door again.
The snow outside the door was getting thicker and thicker, and suddenly the footprints on the snow caught her eye, although the footprints were almost covered by heavy snow, but the shallow marks were still clearly visible.
Who has been here, Ji Nuan was puzzled, and suddenly another thought popped up: 'It's Song Wangchen, it must be him'.
She followed the footprints and walked briskly until she walked out of the bamboo forest. A black back stood proudly in the snow, with that strong posture and familiar back, Ji Nuan immediately recognized him.
"Song Wangchen, it's really you...", her voice was a little trembling and mixed with excitement.
Song Wangchen turned around slowly, and when the two looked at each other, Ji Nuanbao smiled sweetly, she slowly walked in front of him and stopped, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Song Wangchen didn't answer, Ji Nuan looked at the snow on his body and said distressedly: "Why don't you go in"?
Song Wangchen still didn't say a word, just stunned in place, not moving.
"You saved me before, didn't you? Why did you leave me behind when you saved me? And how did you find me?"
Seeing that he still didn't answer, Ji Nuan suddenly became a little annoyed and said, "Since you don't want to see me, why do you want to save me?"
Halfway, Song Wangchen replied coldly: "Pass by, by the way."
"Hehe, passing by, by the way, I see". Ji Nuan turned around with a wry smile, a sour feeling in his heart, and said in his heart: 'It turns out that he just passed by and saved me, what am I expecting'?
Song Wangchen looked at Ji Nuan's back as he walked away, and he was reluctant to say anything, but he still refused to say more. The heart said, 'You don't belong here, it's safer to go back to your world'. Thinking of this, Song Wangchen also turned around and left, and the two finally went against each other.
Ji Nuan wiped her tears and said fiercely: "I won't have any illusions about you in the future, I must go back quickly, definitely!"
She hated who she was now, and since coming to this place, she had become more and more vulnerable, crying at every turn, and less and less smiling. I don't know if I've been pretending to be Song Wangchen for a long time, and I've become indifferent.
The snow stopped at the right time, and Ji Nuan chose a random path to go, and returned to Qinzhou City. Looking at the noisy crowd in front of him, I don't know how Cheng Xiaorou and their investigation of the disappearance of the monk is?
Ru Mu held a string of sugar gourds in his hand, and asked vaguely with a mouth in his mouth: "Ji Nuan, why are you here, aren't you leaving?"
Ru Qin beside her heard this, and immediately walked up to Ji Nuan to hold her hand, and said with a smile: "Since you are back, don't go, there are two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, this Qinzhou is still quite lively, let's celebrate the New Year together"!
Twilight Creek has been like a day for ten years, no matter how New Year's Day or Festival, it is the same as usual, it is all practice and practice. Except for Cheng Xiaorou, who occasionally cooks some delicious food for them during the New Year's Festival, they haven't really had a decent year when they are so old. This time there was such an opportunity, and they were very happy in their hearts.
"How is the investigation of the disappearance of the monk?" Ji Nuan saw the two of them happy, and her mood was much better.
Ru Qin shook his head and sighed: "Alas, don't mention it, we have been patrolling in turns for the past few nights, and we haven't seen anything happen, and we don't feel any demonic aura in this Qinzhou City!"
Ji Nuan smiled: "No wonder you are so leisurely, wouldn't it be better if there were no demons?"
"That's right, we can have a good year here." Ru Mu looked excited, took another bite of a sugar gourd, and hopped back to the inn.
As soon as Jiang Yu saw Ji Nuan, he smiled and saluted: "Miss Ji, you are back."
"Yes, what about Tang Yanyan, why didn't you see him?" Ji Nuan looked at the deserted inn and asked, there were no other Duxi disciples here besides a few of them.
"Childe is resting in the room! everyone is tired after a long night's patrol."
"Hmph, that lazy ghost, if you don't sleep until night, you won't be able to get up, tell him not to go out with us, if he doesn't listen, he will only drag us back." Ru Mu's eyes were full of disdain.
Ji Nuan smiled and asked, "Then why don't you go to rest?"
Ru Qin replied with a smile: "We are not tired." They are still young and curious about this place, so they naturally don't feel tired.
Ji Nuan thought about it, and decided to spend the New Year with them before leaving, anyway, she couldn't go back for a while.
"Shopkeeper, arrange a room for me." "Little two, an upper room". Ji Nuan and Yu Man's voices sounded at the same time.
The two glanced at each other, Ji Nuan first smiled and walked to Yu Man's side, patted her shoulder and smiled: "What a coincidence! Yu Man, you are here too."
"Hmm", Yu Man answered, took out a piece of silver and put it in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper picked up the silver and smiled: "We only have one room left here, since the girl gave the money first, then you can live!
Ji Nuan also said politely: "Then let's live together"!
Yu Man looked back at her with a blank expression. And Jiang Yu, Ru Mu, and Ru Qin all questioned it, and it was strange that Yu Man's temperament could live with her.
Ji Nuan didn't wait for Yu Man to answer, took her wrist and followed Xiao Er upstairs, the three people below, you look at me, I look at you, Ru Mu was so shocked that even the sugar gourd in his mouth rolled to the ground.
"How did you get here". After Xiao Er left, Ji Nuan took Yu Man's hand and sat down at the table.
Yu Man was obviously not used to such intimate contact with people, so he immediately pulled his hand out.
"I heard that a monk was missing in Qinzhou, so I came to see it." Yu Man gave a rare gentle answer, but his eyes were erratic, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.
"Oh, then you must be tired!" Ji Nuan walked to the side of the bed and pulled the neat quilt on the bed, and said with a smile: "Come and rest for a while"!
Yu Man watched her movements even more embarrassed, and sat at the table all the time, her fingers constantly tapping the table.
"What's the matter? What's the matter, what's embarrassing, we're all girls, what are you afraid of?" Ji Nuan had already walked over, pulled her to the edge of the bed and sat down, and took off her shoes with her own hands.
The softness in Yu Man's heart was opened little by little, except for her mother, no one in this world had ever treated her like this.
Ji Nuan saw that she was still stunned, so she held her shoulders and asked her to lie down, and covered her with a quilt.
"Why are you so good to me?" Yu Man suddenly asked, she had treated her like that before, but she always repaid her with virtue.
This question Ji Nuan also asked Cheng Xiaorou before, thinking of this, Ji Nuan replied with a smile: "Because you are worth it." Same question, same answer.
'Am I worth it?' Yu Man asked himself in his heart: 'Am I really worth it'?
Ji Nuan then instructed the kitchen to make two dishes and let Xiao Er deliver them at lunch, but he left the inn and walked alone on the street.
"Get out of the way, Mofu investigates, all suspicious people are arrested, and everyone else dodges." A Mofu disciple shouted as he walked, and there were a dozen or so disciples dressed in the same red costume behind him.
Pedestrians gave way one after another, for fear of affecting themselves, but after they left, they pointed at them, and they were all like, "What happened again"?
"Is there another monk missing?"
"How can this be ......?"
Ji Nuan looked at the person who came, wasn't it the groom who sent her to the bamboo house yesterday? I didn't expect that he was also a disciple of Mofu, and thought he was just a groom.
Ji Nuan walked up to him and asked, "Big brother, what's going on?"
He wanted to get angry, but after seeing Ji Nuan's appearance clearly, he replied respectfully: "It turned out to be a girl! Yesterday, another monk disappeared, Mo An is investigating suspicious people, and the girl is also a cultivator, right? This Qinzhou has not been peaceful recently, so the girl must be careful."
"Yes, thank you, big brother". Ji Nuan obviously heard Ru Qin and them say that nothing happened, but now someone is missing, but the disciples of Duxi didn't notice it at all, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"You're welcome, just be careful, Mo An still has a task to do, so I won't accompany you, say goodbye." Moan then saluted and left.
Ji Nuan smiled back, looking at the backs of a few people who were far away, and was even more puzzled.
