Volume 1 Smoke and Rain Chapter 14
Before the watchman could make a watch, he heard a few barks in the distance. The cat looked up and continued to lie down until it fell asleep.
After drinking the wine in the bowl, the two of them looked at each other, and they were all weird.
Ah Gan turned her head a few times before leaving, and still handed the sachet in her pocket back to her hand, Feng Yinwan was not weird, so she accepted it.
They left without looking back.
Li Shuishan asked him: "Why did you send the sachet back?"
Ah Gan said, "This flower bag is so fragrant, I smell uncomfortable." ”
Where is there such a reply to the gifts sent by other girls.
Li Shuishan didn't understand the reason why he did this.
When he returned to his cave, he gave his study a nice name, Aoi Banyan Cave.
Originating from the Mt. Kwai he saw in his book, the terrain is peculiar, and there is a large cave that has been said for a long time.
The large cave is hidden in the southwest corner of Mt. Kwai Mountain.
Looking from afar, I saw a mixed tree, full of lush greenery, and there was no vision. But as soon as you approach the entrance of the cave, there is a sense of shock. All the boulders around him are connected together, so that he can feel the power of nature from the book.
There is a very luxuriant banyan tree above the entrance of the cave, the broad crown is like a giant umbrella, extremely tall and strong, like a crown on the entrance of the cave.
And he thought that everything in this book was just fake, but after thinking about it carefully, seeing is believing.
An old man with a lamp came, as well as a couple behind him.
When they saw Li Shuishan, they all nodded, and he blushed.
"Marber, and ......"
"You don't have to call us. ”
Ma Yibai interrupted his preparation for the salute and asked, "Why didn't I go in on the day I got married?"
Li Shuishan said with a hard face, "I saw that Uncle Ma was married." I'm glad I won't bother much. He still became his uncle, so as not to mess up his junior identity.
Ling Ling looked at Li Shuishan silently.
Ma Yibai gave out a jade pendant, which was very cold in his hand, "I gave it to you." ”
Li Shuishan wanted to refuse, but Ma Bo put down the wine in his hand and glared at him.
I had to take it and wear it around my neck.
After a while, the two of them said goodbye and left, leaving Ma Yuan and Li Shuishan behind.
This time, Li Shuishan thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't change his attitude, and he was sincere and frank with Ma Bo.
Ma Yuan frowned, patted him on the head, and said, "You cowardly boy, how can you breathe." ”
"You see who is like you, with such a thin skin, how did you learn from me in the past few years. ”
He was scolded by Ma Yuan a few words and ran to get the bowl.
Along the night, they were like father and son, drinking to the moonscape. Ma Yuan said:
"The avenue is inactive, and the Tao is natural. I see that you have prepared almost everything today, so I will give you a hexagram. ”
"What hexagram?" Li Shuishan didn't know what he had done before.
Ma Yuan looked at him and sighed.
He forgot that he no longer counted hexagrams, but quietly became an ordinary old man.
He explained: "It's okay, I drank too much. ”
Ma Yuan would never say that he drank too much wine, just because of this sip of wine, Li Shuishan laughed at him, "I think your alcohol consumption is not as good as mine, the place where you used to let me go to drink before, the second place in the wine street." Now it's the worst wine, and it's not as good as the hunchbacked old man's family in the back. ”
Ma Yuan was said to have no temper, "You just don't believe me, I have been eating wine for decades, and I think I also wanted to say that the wine in that house is good like you." But after a long time, it was not right. ”
"What's wrong?" Li Shuishan wondered.
"I prefer this bite, and I like to be hung by it. "I didn't expect this old man to have such a habit.
The lamp he picked up was extinguished by it.
He said the first time he saw me, "The rain smells of blood, and you are holding a small package with a letter in it, which says: Everywhere you go, you will have a guardian flower, and when the flower blooms, it will scatter the fragrance of the flower, and when the flower falls, you will raise the roots." Wherever you go, it's the roots. ”
"Anything else?"
He continued, "There is another stone that I have not given you, and this one is the one that hangs on your breast. ”
He touched the jade pendant, and there was no temperature.
"Emerald stone. ”
He had never heard Marber say anything about it, and it had been years since then.
"What do the flowers represent? And what do the stones represent? ”
The horse is gone.
Coming in a hurry, leaving in a hurry.
He wanted to give it away, but was refused.
He thought of the fragmentary dreams he had had.
What is it?
............
............
The next day, Jiang Lan was wearing a green coat and holding a paper fan, and asked Li Shuishan how he felt here, but he didn't dare to say. Because he ate and lived without paying the same price.
He didn't dare to look up at her, but followed him and watched him work.
This is also a very wonderful scene.
A group of people from afar, a pair of young people walked over lingeringly, and the man was holding a flat pole in his hand, discussing the issue of today's sale.
As the most important of the two, he couldn't help but puff up.
Although he never accomplished a single thing.
Approaching, the hall owner Jiang Lan asked him to go to Jiang Lao's thing.
At this time, it began to rain lightly, and it fell on the distant river, and the water receded today.
But the Dragon Slayer Sword didn't come back.
Someone in the town came to the bridge with a peach branch, and lit two sticks of incense, kneeling at the bridge.
Among these people, there is an old grandmother, he believes in this thing the most, she said, the water purification of the Ten Thousand Buddha Mountain is real. That day, she was carrying her clothes to the river to wash, and it was raining heavily, so she hid under the eaves of a house and waited for the rain to stop. Out of the rain came a monk wearing a monk's robe and a hat. He stood by the river, and while chanting this Mima, he said, All appearances are void.
The monk painted on the bridge, and he disappeared with the rain.
She knelt on her knees and kowtowed three times.
This head is bouncing on the ground, but when you see the Buddha sitting, you should respect it.
He walked all the way, and the people who saw it all the way were grateful, and several people followed you, the old woman, to be a god. After the water rises, incense is lit.
The incense was extinguished by the rain at this time.
She frowned and sighed, "If you want to extinguish the incense this day, I can't help it." She turned and walked away.
It didn't rain anymore.
Li Shuishan was originally afraid that the rain would wet his clothes, so he didn't have to worry about it at this time.
But he still held the oil-paper umbrella given by the owner in his hand.
He held it tightly in his hands.
Jiang Lao has looked a lot older these days, maybe he is too tired, and when he saw Li Shuishan coming, he complained that he didn't bring wine.
Wine, like an exchange commodity, is not taken, not taken.
Li Shuishan had no choice, so he went to get a pot of wine.
I drank a little with her, for fear of losing time.
He went away secretly.
Pavilion owner Jiang Lan waited for a long time, but did not blame him, she said, "It's not an important thing, but I'm afraid I'm going to stay here for a short time." I'm leaving here for the capital. ”
Li Shuishan didn't dare to look at her, so he nodded. In fact, I felt extremely uncomfortable and couldn't bear to show it.
She gave him the oil-paper umbrella, and he held it tighter.
Looking at the dim sky, he always felt that the old woman's matter was true. Someone asked him the name of the mountain.
And here he waited for someone to come and ask what was in the mountains. And he did not answer.
Looking at the overlapping shadows of the mountains, a rainbow falling from the mountain was falling at the entrance of his Aoi Banyan Cave. Under this hole, there is also his flower cat comfortably under the rainbow, fantasizing about flying on the rainbow.
Quietly watched as she approached the house, and there was not much time left to go back. The owner allowed him to leave early, so he cleaned up himself and waited under the tree in front of the door.
I said in my heart.
"What's in the mountains?"
Where Jiang succeeded in striking the iron, he held the hammer and squirted out a glass of wine that he had just drunk. Wantonly flicking the hammer, bang...... Boom......
The sound lasted for a long time.
He has been playing this iron billet for a long time, but he has not been able to achieve his satisfaction.
The old couple next door asked for a hoe that could be put in a stick, and he thought about it for a long time.
He had been striking iron for several years, but he had not been able to hit the hoe or knife that he was most satisfied with......
Shuang Dang smashed out the shape of a sword, placed it in cold water, and smiled with satisfaction.
I don't know how many days, Jiang Chenggong integrated himself into the cast iron, he gradually became obsessed with it, regardless of rest, often saw Jiang Lan walking in the distance.
For what he said, obsessed with something.
The thing I took back was just a box containing a letter, and the main purpose was to let Li Shuishan chat.
But he found a gap and went back.
Jiang Lan also lost a lot of weight, and someone from the capital said that she wanted her to go back immediately. If I go back, I'm afraid I'll never be able to go back to this place. And this Jiang Chenggong is the most reassuring thing for him.
She had to stop and wanted to say a few words to Jiang Chenggong.
But he refused.
Just lowered his head and touched the sword.
Jiang Chenggong told Jiang Lan that if possible, never return to the land of right and wrong in the capital, what he said was not only the marriage contract to be married that the Legalist told him, but also an unfinished hope.
When he came to this place, Jiang Lan promised him that in terms of seniority, he would be his niece and he would be his uncle. But what he didn't want was that Jiang Lan's father was also very concerned about Jiang Chenggong's affairs, and asked him to go back several times.
Because the Jiang family's status in the capital is not only a small city, but a small town can be compared, but it is not even dependent. As for the morality of pursuit, Jiang Chenggong was the first to deny it.
He didn't think Jiang Lan's father was a "good person." ”
Jiang Lan also has a marriage contract, and she is destined to be a bargaining chip for the Jiang family's growth, as for this bargaining chip. He had thought carefully about it, it was the last prince in the city, or the prince of the royal family who loved to sleep with a nurse.
It's just that it was like fate, and he got rid of it a few times. If Jiang Chenggong doesn't go back, Ma Jianglan will have to go home instead of her.
None of this is known.
Jiang Chenggong stopped the movement in his hand.
He showed an expression that he didn't know how to describe, as if helpless and innocent, and said, "If you want, I will take you out of this place again, and I will take you to Daman." ”
Jiang Lan This is the second time I've heard of this place. A famous tourist from his family came once, his name was Prince Jiangzhou, and he held two beads in his hand, saying that there are Da Man, and there are different people here, and they are similar to our race, and they are called Da Man.
The place where the Great Man hangs on the sword is also the most difficult world for us to understand. He licked the sword and used himself to make an ancient spell that could be transformed into a battle. They can also become inflated beasts, and they use all kinds of power to restrain them, and get what they need.
Their patriarch became ancient, and according to legend, their ancient was our previous older generation, Taoist ancestors.
It may be a Dihuo Dao person who has gone out, or a Tianshan Dao person, or a Guijian senior......
These myths are sealed in their hazy world, which they do not know, and we do not know.
Jiang Lan shook his head, he didn't want to take another risk.
He is not as good as Jiang Chenggong, he can leave without asking for anything, but once he leaves, his parents' status in the capital will be threatened. There is no one to complete the marriage contract in the place of the family.
She forgave herself for her previous recklessness.
But Jiang Chenggong sighed, it was not that Jiang Lan was worried about his parents, but that she had given up her pursuit of distant places from the bottom of her heart.
He was completely defeated in restraint.
He bowed his hand and signaled that he wanted to be alone.
What was waiting for was Li Shuishan, who was holding another pot of wine, he didn't leave, and wandered on the street for a long time before coming.
He saw Jiang Lan with ruddy eyes and wanted to ask what happened.
But I was afraid that she wouldn't answer.
Sink into the silence too.
Jiang Chenggong wanted him to sit down and drink more wine with him, and he agreed.
He finally chased Jiang Lan out after she left, and asked her the specific time, and she shook her head.
He hesitated for a long time before he said, "Have a safe journey." ”
He knew that this sentence was the last thing he wanted to say.
Whether he is greedy for Jiang Lan's beauty or has an inexplicable sense of belonging, he wants to accompany him to face it bravely, but he has no chance.
He didn't fight for this opportunity, and he hated why he couldn't gradually catch up behind his back.
Just like the starlight that slides from the sky, and accompanied by the moon, it becomes one of the bright and small, perhaps the distance that seems to be close to it does cross the distance between the sea and the end of the world.
It's like hearing the story that Feng Yinwan told the two of them carefully, the boy and the girl just became two lives without each other, and the peach tree branch with snow left behind, as well as the figures of the two people on the ditch.
The last sentence is just a sentence, "I look at the snow in the distance, like you." ”
In the falling snow, there are only six ice crystals, but there is a quiet lack of temperature that can melt the snow, and it has become a winter that freezes their memories.
With the bell ringing in his ears at some point, no one asked him if there was anyone else in his heart.
Which person?
Is it the one who asks if there is still snow?
As if he were the little boy, the girl smiled at him and said, "It's snowing again." ”
