Chapter Seventy-Eight: Parting with Regrets, Looking at the Lonely Shadow by the Railing

A comfort, but Zhao Suxin heard something else, she didn't know what was wrong with her, the originally normal words would touch her heart, could it be ......

She turned her head and leaned against Li Moru by the windowsill, under the faint moonlight, he looked a little tired, probably because of the night, his face looked slightly pale.

Zhao Suxin looked at Li Moru in front of her, and for some reason, many pictures of the past resurfaced in front of her - caves, discussions, rescues, White Horse Temple, etc., the corners of her mouth were slightly tilted, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

The next day, the morning light climbed into Zhao Suxin's quilt from the windowsill, she opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Li Moru sitting in front of the door, as if she was practicing.

For some reason, in her eyes, Li Moru was simply a martial arts idiot, and she didn't understand that no matter when, as long as Li Moru had time to practice, wouldn't he feel tired? Or did he really like it.

She found that when the sunlight passed through him, it was warm, and not long after, Li Moru exhaled and walked outside, Zhao Suxin hurriedly shouted: "You, where are you going?"

Li Moru turned his head and said, "Miss Suxin, are you awake?"

Zhao Suxin slowly propped up his body with his hands, stared at Li Moru with his eyes and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Li Moru walked to her side, gently helped her up against the wall, and said, "I'm just going out to wash my face, and when you recover, I'll go again, you wait here, I'll ask this big brother for a towel to wipe your face." ”

Zhao Suxin had some words in his mouth, swallowed them back, and said softly: "Thank you." ”

After Li Moru saw that she was steady, he smiled and said, "It's okay, the two of us are old friends, you can lean on it, I'll go out first." ”

Zhao Suxin nodded, the door opened, looking at Li Moru's figure gradually moving away, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she muttered softly, "Old friend?"

Li Moru asked the man to find a towel and water, and carried it to Zhao Suxin's room.

He submerged the towel in the water, pressed it gently, then wrung the water of the towel to just enough to moisten his face, walked up to Zhao Suxin and asked, "Miss Suxin, shall I wipe it for you or will you come by yourself?"

Zhao Suxin said: "You help me, I don't have the strength now, I'm in trouble." ”

Li Moru held a towel and gently wiped it on Zhao Suxin's face, from the ear to the cheek, when Li Moru touched Zhao Suxin's cheek with the towel in his hand, he only felt that Zhao Suxin's face was slightly hot, and he asked: "Miss Suxin, why is your face so hot, you can't be a cold." ”

Zhao Suxin said: "No, it's because the sun just shines on his face." ”

"Oh!"

Li Moru then followed the bridge of her nose, forehead, and chin, and washed it again after wiping it, repeating the action she had just been there again, Zhao Suxin had never treated her like this since she could remember.

The master is very strict with his sister and her, and keeps a straight face every day, allowing them to practice martial arts, read, and understand Taoist classics, except for the occasional old tree in the back mountain, where the master can be seen sitting there with a smile on his face from time to time.

Just when Li Moru wiped Zhao Suxin's face, the male owner walked in and said, "Little brother, girl, it's time for breakfast." ”

Li Moru picked up Zhao Suxin and followed behind the man, while Zhao Suxin leaned on Li Moru's arms.

Walking into the room, Li Moru gently put Zhao Suxin down.

The man said: "In the countryside, there is nothing to entertain, just white porridge, pickles and wowotou, and you will eat it." ”

Zhao Suxin said: "I'm sorry to disturb you two." ”

The woman said: "What bothers or not, who hasn't encountered something difficult, hurry up and eat." ”

Li Moru picked up the porridge, scooped it with a wooden spoon, blew it gently, handed it to Zhao Suxin's mouth, and said, "Miss Suxin, you don't have the strength in your hands, I'll feed you!"

Zhao Suxin smiled slightly and said, "Thank you." ”

When the man was about to say something, the woman gave him a squeezing look, so he took the head of the nest and didn't speak.

Li Moru broke the head of the nest, tore off a small piece and sent it to Zhao Suxin's mouth, she also gently opened her mouth and chewed it slowly.

Li Moru asked her from time to time if she needed pickles or something, she nodded and ate, her eyes gradually blurred.

After Li Moru finished feeding Zhao Suxin, he began to eat slowly.

After the meal, Zhao Suxin said that she wanted to go out to breathe, and asked Li Moru if she could help her, Li Moru nodded, put two stools in the yard, and carried her to the tree in the yard.

In the shade of the tree, Li Moru accompanied Zhao Suxin, blowing the wind, enjoying the leisure after dinner.

Zhao Suxin asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Moru said: "I'm going to find my brother." ”

"Brother, is that the brother you told me before?"

Li Moru nodded and said, "He is my best brother, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I want to go and see him." ”

"And then, after watching him. ”

The wind gently blew Li Moru's sideburns, he shook his head, and said, "I don't know yet, I haven't thought about it, maybe it's not necessary to continue to play in the mountains and rivers, or find a place to practice." ”

Zhao Suxin bit her lip and asked, "When the time comes, will you come to see me?"

Li Moru was a little surprised, and didn't know why Zhao Suxin would ask such a thing, so he said without thinking too much: "Probably not." ”

Zhao Suxin clasped her hands tightly, and when she heard Li Moru's words, she felt a trace of sadness in her heart, and she asked, "Why? Do you hate me very much?"

Li Moru said: "It's not, the main thing, you also know that since I got the jade pillow, no matter whether it is good or evil, they have been eyeing me, in fact, I don't know how long I can live, and if I go to your Shangqing faction to see you, maybe, I will be besieged by your senior sisters and masters." ”

He shook his head, "It's better not to think about it this way, so as not to ask for trouble, and maybe it will bring you unnecessary trouble." ”

Zhao Su said without thinking about it: "I'm not afraid of trouble." ”

Li Moru said: "This ......"

Zhao Suxin's eyes began to be hazy again, and she couldn't see clearly, she asked: "Then if, I mean if, if I am not on the mountain, and then ask you alone, are you willing to come and see me?"

Li Moru thought for a while, "If that's the case, it's not impossible, it's just that the rivers and lakes are so big, and when the time comes, whether you and I can meet them is one thing." ”

Zhao Suxin said: "It's okay, as long as the rivers and lakes are big, as long as you want to, you will definitely be able to meet." ”

While the two were talking, a piano sound came from outside the door, and at this time Li Moru suddenly remembered that there was a sycamore piano hanging at the woman's bedside.

With the sound of the piano coming from outside the door, the voice of the woman singing, "Tonight, the night is in the middle of the boat." Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince. Shame is good, not shameful. The heart was annoyed and unstoppable, and learned that the prince. The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy, and the king does not know ......"

The breeze came slowly, the mottled eyes were revealed under the shade of the trees, the sound of the piano was melodious and beautiful, and the woman's voice was also clear and penetrating, Li Moru and Zhao Suxin could listen to it attentively.

After the woman listened to the strings, Li Moru couldn't help but praise: "It's so good." ”

The man sat next to the woman and said with a smile: "That's natural, my lady's piano sound is a must in our local area, right, lady." ”

The woman smiled, "How can there be someone like you, the princess sells melons and boasts." ”

The man said, "It's just good." ”

Li Moru suddenly remembered the tune that Mr. Mo had taught him, and said to the woman, "Madam, I don't know if I can borrow your piano?"

The woman was slightly surprised and said, "I didn't expect the son to be able to play the piano?"

Li Moru said with a smile: "What the master taught back then, I understand a little bit. ”

The woman asked the man to hand the piano to Li Moru, who sat next to Zhao Suxin and said, "Miss Suxin, I'll play the tune that my master taught me - Tao Te Ching." ”

Su Xin said: "Tao Te Ching, isn't this Lao Tzu's book, why have I never heard this kind of music." ”

Li Moru smiled: "I don't know, my master taught me, do you remember the words in the sixteenth chapter of the Tao Te Ching?"

Zhao Suxin said: "Naturally, I remember it, this is our Taoist classic, and we have been reciting it since we were children." ”

"Alright, then you can help me sing back. ”

Before Zhao Suxin refused, Li Moru was sitting in a precarious position, the horn sounded up, and the breeze came slowly, like the revival of all things, and the tune of spring returning to the earth was full of vitality.

Zhao Suxin also unconsciously began to sing along with Li Moru's tune, "To the extreme, keep quiet and dutiful - all things work together - I look at the recovery - the husband and the things are full of clouds - each returns to its root - returns to the root and says quiet - it is for the restoration of life - the return of life is said to be ......"

The two of them played and sang, looking very harmonious, Zhao Su's heart voice was like a heavenly sound, Li Moru was white-clothed and snowy, the breeze came from time to time, the sideburns were slightly oblique, like a god, in the eyes of the man, the two were like fairy couples.

The sound landed gracefully and fluently, elegant and supple, and everyone seemed to watch the growth of all things.

The woman said: "The sound is like a drunken moon in the sky, and the song is like clouds and clouds piercing the snow." The son is good at the piano, and the girl sings very well. ”

The man said: "All things return, each one is reborn, and he will be free in the end." ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but applaud.

Li Moru got up and said, "The two of you have won the prize." ”

Zhao Suxin said: "Wait." ”

"What's wrong?"

"I'll play a song for you!"

"Don't you have no strength in your hands?"

Zhao Suxin smiled, "It's a lot better to rest for half a day and breathe fresh air." ”

The woman glanced at Zhao Suxin, smiled slightly, and said, "It seems that we have ear blessings today." ”

Zhao Suxin put the guqin on her lap, Li Moru sat quietly next to her, her thin fingers were like jade, her nails were cold and pink, and she remembered with the sound of the qin, she sang: "How many times have you finished waving a song." On the side of the mountain, there is still a wind. Outsiders bring Qin, vaguely reunited. In the middle of nowhere, the geese are shocked. I'm afraid to wake up the beauty to sleep with a snap of my fingers, and the guest is ...... Chunnong"

Li Moru listened attentively, as if he saw the mountains and heard the sound of flowing water, and with Zhao Suxin's singing, it was simply a beautiful picture.

I saw the woman on the other side leaning on the man's back and couldn't help sighing.

The man asked, "How can you sigh well, this song is melodious and quiet, very good." ”

The woman leaned her face against his face and said softly: "The mountains are high and the clouds are unintentional, the water is shallow and the flowers are ruthless, take pity on this girl." ”

The man said: "Not necessarily, everything has its own way, maybe." ”

The woman nodded, "I suddenly feel that it's good to have you by my side." ”

The man laughed, "Me too." ”

When the sound of the piano settled, Zhao Suxin got up to send the piano, and there was a slight moistness in the corners of his eyes, but Li Moru didn't see it.

The woman took the piano and said, "Good music, good feelings." ”

Zhao Suxin smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”

She walked up to Li Moru and said, "I'm almost recovered now, so I won't delay you to continue your journey." ”

She took out a piece of jade pendant from her arms and said, "Remember what you said before, if I ask you alone in the future, you will come to see me, this jade pendant, even if I give it to you, I have the other half here, if I look for you at that time, I will let someone send you the other half, you can rest assured to come and see me." ”

Li Moru took the jade pendant and smiled: "Okay, definitely." ”

Zhao Suxin said: "Okay, it's still early, hurry up as soon as possible, be careful and low-key on the road, there are many people to kill now." ”

Li Moru nodded and said, "Okay, you too, be careful on the way back." ”

Li Moru returned to the room to get his luggage and sword, and said to the male and female hostess: "Two, my friend is much better, then we won't bother the two." ”

The woman said, "Be careful on the road. ”

After Li Moru thanked him again, he left with Zhao Suxin.

In front of the door, Li Moru walked towards the south, while Zhao Suxin went north, looking back at the back of Li Moru who was gradually moving away from time to time, and there were infinite ripples in his heart......
