A simple dinner, in a state of pleasure and impatience, ended like this. Guan Qingyao was in a good mood, she looked very happy, looking at Guan Qingyao who kept smiling, Wu Hou's heart seemed to twitch from time to time, and her whole chest was crispy and numb.

As the wine came up, they talked a lot with each other, without the slightest embarrassment, and everything seemed natural to get along. The strength of this wine is not big, the two of them are only slightly drunk, and they do not show their ugliness, they can only be said to be just right, just right.

A pot of Huadiao wine, like a journey, is more like a period of time, which has shortened the distance between the two of them a lot, and just one meal is like a friendship of many years.

I have to say, wine is really wonderful.

During the chat, Wu Hou knew that Guan Qingyao was not a local, but many years ago, she moved to Hangzhou with her father, at that time Guan Qingyao was only seven or eight years old, and her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, so she has been following her father to rely on each other.

Guan Qingyao also said that her tone was slightly lost when she spoke, she said that since her father brought her here, she had never gone out, and even when she went to school when she was a child, she went to school by herself to sign up, pay the money, complete everything by herself, and walk around the city to play. When she said this, Guan Qingyao was a little proud, proud that at the age of seven or eight, she dared to walk all over Hangzhou City alone, to climb mountains, to see the scenery, to visit the West Lake, and so on.

But what Wu Hou doesn't understand, it's not why she is so bold at a young age and dares to go to so many places alone, looking at her current character, Wu Hou also knows that the good-looking girl in front of her will not be well-behaved when she is a child. What Wu Hou didn't understand was that Guan Qingyao said that his father hadn't gone out since he came here. Where does this go out?

After Wu Hou raised his doubts, Guan Qingyao told Wu Hou that since her father took her to Hangzhou and moved here, she had not left the alley in front of her for nearly 20 years.

I have never left this alley for a single step, that is, the alley in front of the door, which is not wide or narrow.

Surprised, Wu Hou inevitably asked why, Guan Qingyao shook his head and said that he didn't know, he knew that since his father came here, he either stayed at home every day, or went out for a walk nearby, but never walked out of the alley in front of the door. Later, a Sichuan restaurant was opened here, and he was the same age as the owner, General Yang, and then the two became old buddies, and they liked to play chess when they had nothing to do.

His father didn't talk much before, but in recent years, he has gotten better, because the girl is older, and he slowly chats with the girl, which is only after Guan Qingyao graduated from university.

It may be that alcohol has played a role more or less, Wu Hou also opened his heart to Guan Qingyao, chatted and chatted, and said in frustration, "You still have a father, it's good." "It's a bad guy who has a father in front of him, how can he be like himself, and he hasn't even seen his own face.

Guan Qingyao didn't know that Wu Hou was a single-parent family before, and when Wu Hou said this, she knew that Wu Hou had only one mother and was deeply sympathetic to Wu Hou. Then I heard Wu Hou chatter about the sad things that have happened since childhood, what was scolded as a wild child in elementary school, no old man, fighting with others in a fit of anger, arguing with his mother for a father, sitting on the bench with his mother angrily and crying and so on.

Wu Hou smiled a little when he said it, but Guan Qingyao knew that whoever said it was quite unpleasant.

"You must have suffered a lot. Guan Qingyao looked at Wu Hou sympathetically.

Wu Hou shook his head indifferently and said, "What's so bitter about that, it's much easier than after knowing the master, and no matter how hard it is, can it be more bitter than practicing martial arts?"

He said it easily, but in fact, the bitterness of practicing martial arts and the bitterness in his heart can be the same?

"But I have grandparents who love me very much, and I'm luckier than you in this regard. Wu Hou mentioned Guo Xianda and his wife.

Guan Qingyao doesn't have grandparents, and even if she does, she hasn't seen them.

Then Wu Hou continued, "When I was a child, I lived with my grandparents in the mountains, in the endless mountains, where I spent my entire childhood, and only returned to the city to stay with my mother when I was in elementary school. ”

"The mountains are very good, do you know?" Wu Hou came to talk and said seriously, "It's hot in summer, but the mountains are not hot, it's very cool, I was in the mountains when I was a child, and in the summer, I often jumped into the river to bathe, touch fish and touch shrimp, and occasionally went hunting with my grandfather, and the game I hunted made my grandmother into a delicious meal, and the life was very beautiful!"

"Also, at night, when I stand in front of my grandmother's house, I look at the mountains, and the moon in the sky illuminates each mountain with silver and snow, and the moonlight flows between the mountains like a stream in the mountains, which is very beautiful. ”

"Beautiful, the moonlight is very beautiful!" Wu Hou said this, nodded and said, "I have the opportunity to take you to see it, so that you can taste the wild rabbit and fish feast where my grandmother sits, and the wild boar meat to eat, thief." ”

Guan Qingyao listened to Wu Hou quietly, watching Wu Hou's expression change from loss to excitement, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I have time to travel to your place, and when the time comes, you will be the tour guide and take me around." ”

Wu Hou's face became tangled again, and he replied apologetically, "We don't have anything worth visiting, it's okay in the mountains, the city is very small, not as big as Hangzhou." ”

"Is there such a small city?" Guan Qingyao smiled in disbelief.

Wu Hou was also unsure at this time, and added, "It should be about the same size as a district in Hangzhou." ”

After eating, the two talked a lot, and then they were ready to get up and leave.

Guan Qingyao stood up and said politely to Wu Hou, "I'll come." ”

Wu Hou feigned anger, patted his pocket that was afraid of flattening, and said arrogantly, "I have money." ”

Whether there is money or not, he knows best in his heart, look at the pocket, Guan Qingyao also knows it in his heart. However, she did not debunk Wu Hou, after all, she is a grown up boy, and she has a good face in front of girls, which Guan Qingyao still understands.

Wu Hou walked to the counter and knocked on the table, and General Yang, who was closing his eyes and listening to the commentary, opened his eyes, stood up and said, "Are you leaving?"

Wu Hou nodded, took out a few banknotes and put them on the table.

General Yang was scheming, calculated the dishes ordered by Wu Hou and the others in the small notebook, muttered and calculated for a long time, and finally put down the small notebook and said, "Since you are Yaoyao's friend, I will wipe the odds for you." General Yang took out two tickets from the money that Wu Hou put on the table, and returned the rest to Wu Hou.

"Stay enough, boss, you're polite. "Wu Hou said generously.

"Enough, enough. General Yang had a businessman's smile on his face.

Wu Hou picked up the remaining money on the table again, put it in his pocket casually, and said to General Yang in a social tone, "Okay, then I'll go first." ”

Guan Qingyao also said goodbye to General Yang, and General Yang waved his hand to the two, and then sat down again to continue listening to the commentary.

The two of them went out of the Sichuan restaurant, and after standing at the door, they found that the snow had fallen heavily, and a thin layer of white snow was hung on the house, the eaves, and the treetops, and several street lamps were wrapped in snow, and the lights were crystal clear.

The pedestrians on the road are gone, and it is estimated that because of the heavy snowfall, they all went home early, Wu Hou looked at the snow scene in front of him, and a sense of pride rose inexplicably in his heart, and his eyes said excitedly, "Wow! It's finally snowing!"

Speaking of which, if there is no snow in winter, is it still called winter?

Guan Qingyao is also very happy, after all, girls like beautiful things more, and the snow in winter is pure and flawless, which women like.

Guan Qingyao ran out of the eaves of the restaurant and into the snow like a teenage girl, spinning and jumping and jumping. Wu Hou was infected by her, and also ran out, running in the snow, running and running suddenly stopping his feet and letting his whole body slide on the snow.

The two of them walked towards the outside of the alley little by little. When he walked to the exit, Wu Hou looked back at this alley carefully, after the passers-by and vendors dispersed, the empty alley was quite spacious, Wu Hou used his memory to remember the alley in front of him fiercely.

Coming to the exit, Guan Qingyao looked at Wu Hou eagerly and asked, "Where are we going?"

Wu Hou was stunned for a moment and asked, "You're not going home?"

"What are you doing when you go home, it's hard to catch up with a snowfall, it's a pity to hide under the covers and sleep in such a good weather. ”

"Uh... All right. ”

"What? are you going back?"

Wu Hou shook his head, "If you don't go back, I still have to go to the riverside to practice my sword." ”

"Really, I'll accompany you, right?" Guan Qingyao became interested.

Wu Houmei smiled, "Okay." ”

So Guan Qingyao walked to the small motorcycle he parked on the side of the road, took out the key and prepared to ride on, Wu Hou stopped him and said, "Don't ride, the road is slippery, be careful of falling." ”

Guan Qingyao tilted her head and thought about it, too, so she took the key back again, turned to look at Wu Hou with a smile, and was about to speak, when she looked behind Wu Hou and was stunned.

Wu Hou also looked back in confusion, and saw an old man, a puppet standing on the side of the intersection, because the two of them only cared about walking forward when they came out, and did not look at the sides, so they did not find him. The man stood quietly, silently, unaware, and looked like he hadn't moved for a long time, covered with snow, and even the sides of his thick cotton hat were covered with a layer of snow.

This ghost-like old man, standing here like this, really frightened Wu Hou who turned around, and what made Wu Hou even more terrifying was that this man actually looked at himself, his eyes were narrow and cold light, squinting slightly, but he seemed to have opened his eyes to the maximum.

There was no emotion in the old man's eyes, and there was no anger at all, like dead eyes, just like the streets where it was snowing at this time.

Wu Houxin took two steps back in shock, Guan Qingyao walked to his side, but called softly, "Dad." ”

This old man turned out to be Guan Qingyao's father! It really shocked Wu Hou, he looked at the old man dumbfounded, watched his eyes take away from himself, and looked at his daughter.

Guan Qingyao left Wu Hou's side and walked towards the old man she called her father, Wu Hou stood in place in shock, wanting to take a few steps back, but found that his feet were no longer obedient and could not move.

The distance between the two was five or six meters, but Wu Hou felt a chill from Guan Qingyao's father that was colder than snow. With Wu Hou's strength now, most of them have been immune to body temperature, and now Guan Qingyao's father can make him feel a chill from head to toe, which is extremely cold, which can only show one situation, Guan Qingyao's father has a killing intent towards himself, a very pure killing intent, although it is only for a moment, but it is enough to make Wu Hou's whole body cold.

Guan Qingyao couldn't feel Wu Hou's strangeness, so she walked to her father's side very strangely and asked in surprise, "Dad, why did you come out?"

When Shi Cai was eating, he also talked to Wu Hou that his father had not walked out of this alley for many years, and now seeing his father walking out of the alley and standing on the side of the exit, Guan Qingyao was surprised and happy at this time.

The old man looked at his daughter, his face was expressionless, and he glanced at Wu Hou.

Guan Qingyao said, "This is my friend, his name is Wu Hou, and he invited me to dinner today." ”

Guan Qingyao said with a smug face, happy and satisfied. The old man retracted his glance at Wu Hou, but did not look at his daughter again, but raised his head slightly and looked at the sky.

"Dad, what are you looking at?" Guan Qingyao also raised her head and looked at the sky, but the dark night sky was nothing but the snowflakes that were still fluttering and falling.

Then I heard the old man speak slowly, and his voice was hoarse, "It's going to change." ”

"Changing the sky?" Guan Qingyao wondered, "Isn't it already the sky, you look at such a big snow, your body is white." ”

The girl felt sorry for her father, and reached out to help the old man pat the snow off his body.

The old man looked at the dark night sky indifferently, unmoved, his eyes were always slightly squinted, or rather, always wide.

"What's wrong with you, Dad, what are you looking at?" Guan Qingyao was even more curious, pushed Daddy, and raised her hand to shake it in front of Daddy's raised head.

The old man suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "The road is long and the road is short, and you have fun." ”

As the words fell, the old man turned around and walked into the alley again, no matter how his daughter shouted behind him, he didn't look back. Guan Qingyao stood at the intersection angrily, looked at his father's back, stomped his feet, and said to Wu Hou, "I think my father may be stupid." ”

Wu Hou, who was in a cold sweat, breathed a sigh of relief, moved his numb feet, and retreated to a tree on the side of the road with some gasp, and said weakly, "I shouldn't be stupid, otherwise I will die." ”

When Guan Qingyao heard this, she turned to look at Wu Hou, and saw that he was sweating, and the whole person was leaning on the tree weakly, frowning at the moment, thinking for a while, and said angrily: "This old boy!

Wu Hou, who was weak, looked at Guan Qingyao dumbfounded, and couldn't imagine that this woman would dare to call her father an old boy directly, which was really speechless and a little admirable.

Guan Qingyao stepped forward to support Wu Hou and said with concern, "Are you okay?"

Wu Hou shook his head and shook his head, because of the cold weather, the sweat on his head had dried, and he laughed miserably, "Your father is so fierce... It's just one look, and I can't move. ”

Guan Qingyao raised her forehead and looked very sorry, and said depressedly: "He hasn't come out for many years, and he hasn't moved for many years, and I don't know what's going on today. ”

Wu Hou, who had regained his spirit, shook his feet, and said with a smile indifferently, "I guess I saw a strange man with his daughter, or in the middle of the night, and my daughter didn't go home but went out, he was afraid that I would do something to you." ”

Guan Qingyao's eyes rolled a few times, nodded and said, "It should be." Soon after, he looked at Wu Hou angrily and angrily, and said in an aggravated tone: "What nonsense, you want to be beautiful!"

Wu Hou laughed, and Guan Qingyao blushed again under the street lamp.

"Ah, you're red again, it's so pretty. Wu Hou screamed mischievously.

"Shut up, nasty. Guan Qingyao hurriedly covered her cheeks with her hands and turned her back to Wu Hou.

Men and women, all kinds of people, there is always an encounter, and when he speaks frivolously, she blushes and does not get angry at all.

Guan Qingyao and Wu Hou walked up on the road slowly, they chose a direction towards the Qiantang River, and walked forward without hurry, as if they cherished the current time for each other. Under the dim street lamps, beside the snowy streets, countless snowflakes fell from the sky in a chaotic manner, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled as they walked.

There are very few words along the way, as if both of them know that no matter how much they say, it is not enough to express the slightest feeling in their hearts, which is love, something that cannot be said in a thousand words.

They are like a couple in love, just hugging each other, kissing affectionately, and never leaving each other for a lifetime.

For many years after that, Wu Hou will miss himself and Guan Qingyao this night, miss the hazy feelings secretly rising in his heart, and miss the heavy snow on the streets of Hangzhou, where the two of them are white-headed together, that is between him and Guan Qingyao, where love takes root.

The river wind at night is very strong, the cold north wind carries the cold snowflakes, falling into the surging river, the asphalt road by the river, has been piled up with a thick layer of white snow, bright and dazzling, neat and flawless, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with beautiful jade.

But such a large piece of beautiful jade can only be made by God.

There were a few footprints in the snow, and it could be seen that these were two people who had just walked by, and they were walking slowly towards the east, covered with snow, and they didn't care.

Stepping on the snow and making a "creaking" sound, the excited Guan Qingyao jumped up, bent down from time to time and reached out to grab a handful of snow to crumple it into a ball, and then struggled to throw it into the river. Wu Hou looked at Guan Qingyao, who seemed to be younger than him at this time, full of childishness, grinned happily, and also bent down to grab a handful of snow and knead it into a ball, but he didn't throw it into the river, but stuffed it into the hat of Guan Qingyao's down jacket.

Guan Qingyao, who was feigned with anger, shouted, "Wow, you dare to put a snowball in my hat, look at the move!" As he spoke, he smashed the small snowball that had just been crumpled in his hand towards Wu Hou.

Wu Hou couldn't dodge, and was smashed on the forehead by this ball, and the snowball shattered and scattered, splashing all over his face. In fact, Wu Hou is not unable to hide, but he did not hide, playing, he must have the appearance of playing, and he can't be more serious everywhere.

So he also kneaded a snowball and shouted, "Eat me a ball!" and smashed it at Guan Qingyao.

The girl's family naturally wouldn't let the snow splash on her face, so Guan Qingyao dodged, and at the same time threw a snowball to smash at Wu Hou. This time, Wu Hou won't honestly stand here and let her smash it, and she can't play without her brains, she has been standing and letting her smash it, which is to please the girl, but then she will not become a fool.

Next, the two started a tug-of-war on the riverside, the two sides went back and forth, snowballs arced in the air, and they were constantly thrown at each other, some hit, some missed. If you count it carefully, you will find that there are more people who hit Wu Hou, and not many people who hit Guan Qingyao, after all, it is a man, what is it to be beaten by women more, it hurts, and it will not die.

Wu Hou ran in front, the two were making trouble, Wu Hou in front suddenly stopped, stood in the snow, and looked at the place more than 100 meters to the east, where there were three people, standing by the river, motionless.

The three of them seemed to see the two of them, but they just glanced at it and didn't care.

Guan Qingyao walked up to Wu Hou and asked, "Why don't you leave?"

Wu Hou pouted towards the east, Guan Qingyao looked forward, and also saw three people, two men and one woman, all of whom were in their thirties and forties.
