II. Chapter 29

When he got closer, Jiang Ming didn't have time to salute, but Yun Guhong leaned down again, and while writing something, he said gently: "Child, your name is Jiang Ming." ”

Jiang Ming was not surprised at this time because he had already reported his name because he had seen Yun Guhong's side, but slowly arched his hand and said: "Senior Jiang Ming, I have seen Senior Yun." ”

Yun Guhong still didn't look up, and he didn't ask Jiang Ming why he was here, but just said lightly: "Sit down." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, but he was embarrassed in his heart, although he knew that Yun Guhong didn't care about etiquette, but after all, his status was noble, and he was still standing, how could he have a reason to sit down, that is, he still maintained a respectful posture, and there were other things to do at the moment.

Yun Guhong stopped writing, glanced at Jiang Ming, and said with a peaceful smile: "These worldly etiquette are complicated and boring, don't be so restrained, you can sit down first." ”

Hearing Yun Guhong say this, Jiang Ming hesitated, and finally sat down slowly, but this time he sat down, but he felt so uncomfortable, and he didn't even stand comfortably.

And the man who was the leader of the righteous path in the world was bending over the other side of the stone table, waving the paper, drawing one stroke at a time, very focused, as if he had forgotten that there were others around him, and there was no sign of speaking.

Jiang Ming was a little strange about what he wrote, but he didn't have the courage to look at it, as if he didn't even know where to put his eyes, and couldn't help but shake the small cloth bag in his hand, just wanting to prevaricate and leave here quickly, but he didn't dare to open his mouth to disturb.

"Did you know ......?"

Just as Jiang Ming was sitting on pins and needles, Yun Guhong suddenly spoke, but he still lowered his head and wrote, and said slowly: "The stone bench you are sitting on has not been sat on for more than ten years. ”

Jiang Ming was stunned, but he didn't know what it meant.

"In my spare time, I clean it myself, so it looks as clean as new, otherwise it would have lost its popularity and would have been old and unlikely. ”

Jiang Ming was slightly surprised, and it was inevitable that he was a little strange, with Yun Guhong's identity and prestige, even if these mortal things were changed once a year, there must be no problem, not to mention taking care of them personally.

Yun Guhong didn't raise his head, and said flatly: "I have a very important old man, proficient in music, I used to like to sit in your position, facing the plane tree, caressing Suqin, but it has been dead for many years, and since then, no one has ever sat here." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ming was shocked, his body was shocked, and he only regretted why he didn't take two more steps, and the three stone benches sat here, and he was about to get up in a panic, but unexpectedly, as soon as his body left the stone bench a little, Yun Guhong suddenly looked over with a gentle smile on his face, without the slightest hint of blame on his face, and said with a smile: "You just watched the stone tablet from the Tianji Tower, why didn't you take the opportunity to concentrate on cultivation and come here?"

Somehow, Jiang Ming looked at Yun Guhong's smile, and inexplicably felt that he seemed to have a special affinity for himself, and he didn't know if it was because he looked a little like his old man as Senior Sister guessed, but this thought was fleeting, and when he heard Yun Guhong take the initiative to ask, he hurriedly replied: "I have something to hand over to Senior Sister Yu on the order of Senior Sister, but I don't know where she lives, so I came here by mistake." ”

"That's the case....... Yun Guhong nodded, paused for a moment, suddenly put down the pen, and said with a smile: "How about you come to see my words?"

After that, I saw him gently push the white paper on the side of the table, straighten it and sit down casually.

Jiang Ming thought that Yun Guhong would inform Yu Xinshuang's residence, and then he could leave, but he didn't know that there would be such a thing, so he hesitated for a moment, but had no choice but to take a closer look, only to see that there were only two words on the blank paper where he had written for a while:

How!

The handwriting strokes seem to be unsatisfactory after being written, and they have been repeatedly drawn several times, which looks heavy but erratic.

Jiang Ming recalled Yun Guhong's concentration when he wrote, it can be said that he was attentive to the words, and when he combined the literal meaning of these two words, he felt a little desolate and powerless, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Yun Guhong saw that Jiang Ming didn't speak, and he didn't ask anymore, but just pulled back the paper and put it aside, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "There are all kinds of things in the world, there will be things that you can't ask for, and you can't get your wishes......."

Jiang Ming looked over and saw that this man, who was the first person in the righteous path today with his identity and Taoism, had a slightly white hair, his face was vicissitudes of life and ordinary, and his gloomy eyes seemed to be a little more tired at the moment.

Under the withered yellow tree, next to the stone table.

The two were silent for a while, Yun Guhong seemed to sigh, and then his demeanor returned to gentleness, looking at Jiang Ming's face, as if there was a moment of trance, and suddenly said in a harmonious voice: "Thank you for being able to talk to me." ”

Although Jiang Ming hadn't spoken much all this time, he was almost always listening to Yun Guhong, but when he heard these words of thanks at this moment, he was frightened in his heart, and said in a panic: "It's my blessing to be able to talk to my seniors, how can I bear ......it?"

Yun Guhong shook his head slowly, his eyes looked into the distance, the sky was deep, and the wind and rain were coming.

I don't know how long it took, but he was the only one left here, sitting alone.

A gust of wind blew gently, the paper on the stone table fluttered, Yun Guhong looked at it, he was a little stupid for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Xiao Chu, if you see me so depressed, you will probably scold me again, but ......"

The wry smile on his face disappeared suddenly, and then he slowly lowered his head, and after a while, he said: "I can't plead for half my life, and now the Demon Sect wants to make trouble, and even the desire for peace in this world is unfulfilled, so how can I ......?"

In another corner of the courtyard, the room was quiet and clean, spotless, faintly wafting with the dark fragrance unique to women, Yu Xinshuang sat alone in front of the window, her beautiful face was beautiful, her eyebrows were lightly locked, as if with a touch of sorrow, and the thin wind quietly came from the window, and her hair was also swept up a small strand.

The Adorned Immortal Sword just leaned quietly against the window, as if silently accompanying its owner.

Outside the house, a few fallen leaves fell with the wind, floating slowly, and I didn't know where it would end up, Yu Xinshuang looked silently from afar, and the sorrow on her face seemed to be a little thicker.

She slowly got up and walked out into the hallway outside the room. It was dark, dark and quiet, and it seemed like another heavy rain was coming.

Since early this morning, she has been so restless, and the junior brother who ran a long way to Lingyun Sword Pavilion on her behalf has not returned for a long time, and there is no news.

Many thoughts and conjectures flashed through her mind, but she didn't dare to think about them after all.

"I hope it's okay......"

The whisper, which was almost inaudible, was whispered softly in her mouth, but the faint bitterness on that face did not disappear at all.

She stood silent for a moment, and suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps, and almost at the same time, her temperament suddenly cooled down, and there was no trace of her previous hesitation and weakness.

Wuxin Courtyard is already a small number of people, coupled with her withdrawn nature, so there are almost no people here at ordinary times, at this moment, Yu Xinshuang is also looking towards the place where the voice came from, who will be the person who comes?

When Jiang Ming appeared in her sight, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect it to be Jiang Ming at all, she was silent for a moment, and asked lightly, "Are you here to find me, is there something wrong?"

Jiang Ming nodded and said, "Well, I have something to give to you." ”

He roughly swept the surroundings, this place is also deserted, but because of the cleanliness of the living woman, so it is particularly clean and tidy, the most bitter smile is that this is not far from the backyard where he lives, there are only a few scattered buildings in the middle, if it is not for the coincidence of Yun Guhong to tell him, he is afraid that he will be looking farther and farther, but now he is embarrassed to look too much, so he looked at the woman standing in the corridor.

Yu Xinshuang seemed to frown suspiciously, Jiang Ming saw her like this, and hurriedly took out the small cloth bag in his hand, and explained: "This is the seed of the blue flower, you were in a hurry when you were in the small Taoyuan Villa, my master said that you like it very much, so I asked me to hand it over to you." ”

Yu Xinshuang seemed to be stunned for a moment, then walked down the corridor and took the small cloth bag, put it in her hand and looked at it for a long time, her eyes seemed to soften, and she said slowly: "Thank you, if you go back, thank you to Aunt Chen on my behalf." ”

Jiang Ming nodded, looked at Yu Xinshuang's expression, couldn't help but smile, and said, "I didn't expect you to really like this flower seed, if it weren't for my senior sister to remind you to send it to you several times, I would have almost forgotten." ”

Yu Xinshuang smiled faintly, and then stared at the cloth bag in her hand without saying a word.

Since there was no topic between the two, and Yu Xinshuang was not a person who talked much, Jiang Ming completed his master's entrustment and was about to leave, but he saw Yu Xinshuang turn around, walked to the dirt next to the stone path in front of him, squatted down, and gently stretched out his jade-like hand, but he hesitated slightly, but soon stretched out his hand again as if he had made a decision.

She squatted there, her long hair was shawl, the edges of her blue and white clothes all fell to the ground, the corners of her clothes were already stained with a little mud, and a few stains looked extremely conspicuous, but Jiang Ming was in a trance for a moment, this fairy-like woman who did not eat the fireworks of the world, as if she had fallen into the mortal dust, but gentle and beautiful.

It's quiet, only the fallen leaves are falling.

Yu Xinshuang's movements were jerky and slow, and she brushed away a little dirt from the ground so blandly.

Jiang Ming saw it in his eyes, and he actually had a strange feeling in his heart, hesitated for a moment, then walked up to her, took a breath, and plucked up the courage to say, "Let me do these rough jobs!"

Yu Xinshuang stopped moving, raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Ming, his lips moved slightly, as if he hesitated, and finally shook his head gently, "Don't bother you, I don't have any tools here, I'll just come by myself." ”

Jiang Ming suffocated, stood for a moment, and said sneeringly: "At your speed, I don't know how long it will take to plant all of this." ”

As he spoke, he squatted down, dug up a handful of dirt under his feet, and said, "It's okay, let me come!"

Yu Xinshuang looked at Jiang Ming's serious appearance, and couldn't help but fall silent, it is true, she loves cleanliness and almost becomes a habit of cleanliness, and it is extremely difficult to do this, but she doesn't want to trouble others.

At this moment, Jiang Ming's hands were already full of dirt, and an embarrassed look suddenly appeared on her face, and after a few tosses and turns in her heart, she slowly nodded and stood up.

Due to a light rain in the morning, the ground was damp, and the soil was soft, it was very easy to dig up the soil, Jiang Ming was also becoming more and more skilled, and lowered his head to put flowers and seeds in the few small soil pits dug out, but for some reason, he was a little afraid to look up at the woman in his heart.

Here, Yu Xinshuang had already wiped away a few stains on her hands and clothes, looked at Jiang Ming silently, and after a while, she suddenly said, "Why do you want to help me?"

Jiang Ming thought for a moment, and said without raising his head: "Looking at your appearance, you must also be a young lady with a solid family, and you are also the eldest disciple of the Cloud City Lord, it is a bit unreasonable to do such rough and dirty work!"

Yu Xinshuang was silent for a moment, I don't know what touched her mind, there seemed to be an unknown emotion flashing in the depths of her eyes, but no one noticed it, after a while, she bit her lip, took a deep breath, and said: "I was born in an ordinary family, but I have been here since I was a child, no matter what, I have to thank you this time." ”

"I should say thank you......."

Jiang Ming smiled and said, "You helped me so many times in the Little Taoyuan Villa, and even when I fell into a coma in that competition, you brought me back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and I didn't have time to thank you." ”

Yu Xinshuang smiled faintly, looked at the ground, and under the new soil that was turned out were deeply buried flower seeds, she suddenly changed the topic and said, "Do you know, this is a dark blue flower." ”

Jiang Ming naturally didn't have as much leisure to study flowers and plants as his master Chen Zhiyi, so he didn't feel anything, just let out a thoughtful "oh".

Aunt Chen said that this kind of flower blooms all year round regardless of the season and climate, symbolizing not succumbing to fate. ”

Although Yu Xinshuang said so lightly, her tone seemed to have some different emotions, at this moment Jiang Ming also buried the last soil pit, just stood up straight, and was about to look at her, but suddenly felt a cold on his face, and a drop of water fell on his face.

The sky, which had been overcast for a long time, began to rain.
