The winter sky was darker than usual, the thick clouds in the distance obscured the dusky sun, the sky was suddenly dark, the cold wind was more severe, and the small boat at the river pier was long empty, but there was a small boat under the canopy that shimmered softly in the dim sky.

The man under the canopy was a little older, his temples were already hoarfrosty, his forehead was full of wrinkles, and the deep nasolabial folds depicted the traces of time, he was dressed in a blue cotton robe, and he had worn it for more years, the color had been white, and it was full of patches, and he was draped in a cloak outside, he sat quietly around the stove, looking at the lake in the distance, sparkling and shining.

Looking at the city in the distance, the lights were dim, reflecting the dim sky flickering, and the sky suddenly fluttered with snowflakes, and the old man in the cloth tightened his clothes and leaned closer. There are a few fewer ships at the dock.

"Old Nie, it's snowing, let's go home early!" A small boat sailed in front of him, and the middle-aged man at the bow of the opposite boat held the bamboo artemisia and said loudly to the old man in the cloth, the mist spewing out of his mouth was rising, and his body trembled because of the cold in the dark.

"Lao Li, wait a little longer! It's so late, someone should come, you go first." What should I do if someone wants to cross the river and there is no boat? Lao Nie handed a gourd on his waist to Lao Li, and Lao Li didn't shirk it, directly pulled out the stopper, poured a sip of wine, and moaned comfortably.

"Alas, why bother for this money, look at Nagusu City, the lights are bright, like a fairyland on earth, it's not good to stay in such a dreamland, who would come to this river so late. Lao Li handed the wine jug to Lao Nie, after so many years Although he and Lao Nie are a lot different, the relationship is the best, he knows this man's temperament, and he doesn't say much, just admonishes him, and then holds the boat away.

The snowflakes fell on the river, and the moonlight above the head sprinkled down, and the continuous flickering light drowned Lao Li's figure, and only the melodious singing echoed in the calm night. "September wind, October rain, there is a fairy wind to take a sword, a sword to open the river. One year old, one year old, I crossed the river and returned to the people, and there was no trace of artemisia. Over and over again, the song of resentment with a rich voice drilled into the mountains outside the city of Gusu on a snowy night.

Lao Nie looked at Gusu City, the towering city walls and the night blended together, time seemed to stand still, only the snow outside the tent was getting bigger and bigger, and the howling wind blew the burning fire swaying.

Suddenly, Lao Nie didn't know why, raised his head, his cloudy eyes did not have the slightest light, he looked at a person walking on the dock on the shore, and looked carefully at a woman, willow eyebrows, apricot blossom eyes, Qiong's nose was straight, and her delicate facial features had an unreal sense of beauty, dressed in white, setting off her tall figure, looming in the wind and snow, like a fairy in a dream. is really a rare beauty in the world, and Lao Nie can't help but feel a little flustered.

The woman's green hair was casually draped, and the strange thing was that on such a cold winter night, the woman was dressed in white and looked like she was surrounded by snow. Lao Nie's pupils shrank, he didn't expect this woman to be a martial artist, the ancient continent respected martial arts, and martial arts were prevalent in all countries, and there were courts and rivers and lakes in this world.

Walking to the bow of the boat step by step, Lao Nie found that the woman was holding a child in her hands, and the thick clothes were tightly wrapped. Looking at Lao Nie in the canopy, the woman said, "Old man, can you cross the river?" "The sound is quiet, colder, quieter, and more lonely than the evening wind.

"Let's get on the boat and warm up first!" Lao Nie hesitated and agreed, he didn't say the price. The woman in front of her was not ordinary, and after careful inspection, she found that her face was pale and bloodless, if it weren't for the glimmer of brilliance in her eyes, Lao Nie would have thought she was a female ghost. He stood up, took a sip of his wine, and then walked to the stern of the boat and let the woman sit in the canopy, even though she didn't need the things to keep warm, but the child did.

The woman seemed to feel Lao Nie's kindness, looked at Lao Nie carefully, a strange color flashed in her eyes, nodded and gestured, and then sat down in the canopy. Lao Nie turned the bow of the boat smoothly in the wind and snow, the two of them did not have any communication, the snow outside fell on the clothes and hats, with the spirits, Lao Nie rowed faster and faster in the river.

"Why do you want to cross this river on such a cold night? Lao Nie finally asked, and he could see that the woman came out of Gusu City, and walked from that earthly heaven to this world little by little.

"Old man, I don't know your surname. The woman's cold voice rang out. She didn't answer Lao Nie's words, but asked a very strange question.

"Don't have a noble surname, my old bones are not so civil, my surname is Nie, and my name is Jiangsheng. Nie Jiangsheng smiled, glanced at the woman in white and said, He is up and down, and after such an accident, he can also see that the woman and this child must have some secrets that cannot be said.

"Jiang Sheng, the old man is probably a native of this Xianlin River!" The woman said again, her words made Lao Nie a little suspicious, her words seemed to be asking about herself, but with her clothes and temperament, it can be seen that the woman must be either rich or expensive, and she can worry about herself.

Anyway, he was willing to cut his body, Nie Jiangsheng was defenseless, so he simply took advantage of the wine and said openly: "The girl is really smart, my father is a boatman, I remember he told me that when he was crossing the river, he found me flowing down from the upstream, and then he took me down." ”

"That old man knows the story of this immortal Linjiang. The woman also turned her head and talked about other things. From time to time, she looked at the swaddling clothes in her arms, and her eyes were full of love.

"This immortal Linjiang, I heard that it was hundreds of years ago, there was an immortal who fell from the sky, a sword cut the sky and the earth, that day the wind and thunder rolled, the immortal disappeared after a sword, and the heavy rain fell for a few days and nights, and the sword marks were filled, it was this immortal Linjiang. Nie Jiangsheng said boldly, listening to the stories passed down from generation to generation, he firmly believed.

"The old man can know why the immortal came here, why he left a sword, and then disappeared. The woman raised her head and looked at Nie Jiangsheng's eyes, the latter's body trembled, he didn't know why his body trembled inexplicably, in the woman's eyes, he found a different light.

"I'm afraid this girl is stumped by me, these are legends, how do I know. Nie Jiangsheng shook his head, looked at the river, and said nothing.

"The immortal came here to take revenge, cut off the hatred, and then left, traveling all over the world. The woman said a word, and her words were not shocking, Nie Jiangsheng couldn't believe what he heard, but the woman was a martial artist, and I am afraid that the same would be true of the immortals hundreds of years ago.

"Whether it's a true immortal or a revenge, this has nothing to do with me, an old boatman, I have been here for decades, sending a wave, welcoming a wave. Mortal life is mediocre, what does the world have to do with me. Nie Jiangsheng smiled freely, he believed the woman's words, but what did all this have to do with him.

"The old man is really free and easy, and the little woman has something to ask for today. The woman spoke, and Nie Jiangsheng realized in his heart that this woman had been running towards her goal from the beginning.

"I think the girl should be a woman from a big family, what is the use of me as a little boatman. Although Nie Jiangsheng praised the woman, he did not agree, but politely refused.

"This has to be done by the old man. The woman said firmly, the strong momentum made Nie Jiangsheng's back chill, and he felt that the woman in front of him was like a sharp sword.

"Alas, let's say what's the matter first!" Nie Jiangsheng felt in a trance that his life and death were all in the woman's thoughts, although he was not afraid of death, he also wanted to live.

"I hope the old man can take this child in. The woman handed the swaddling clothes in her arms to Nie Jiangsheng, Nie Jiangsheng was shocked, and hurriedly walked into the canopy and looked at the woman with a shocked face. He could see the relationship between the two, but what was the reason for a mother to give her child to someone else.

"This, it's not appropriate!" Nie Jiangsheng looked at the infant child, his smart eyes were cute, and said that he didn't want to be fake, he had been up and down in the world for most of his life, and had married a wife, but the world was unpredictable, and everything was not something he could resist.

"I'm sure the old people can see it. To tell you the truth, I am in a very dangerous situation now, rather than letting him accompany me to live this dark life, it is better to entrust someone who is destined to let him live an ordinary life. The woman gently stroked the child's cheek with her hand, and for some reason, the child suddenly smiled.

"There is a fate, I have never known the girl in my life, how can I have a fateful person. Nie Jiangsheng was still unwilling, he was unwilling to break up a mother and son.

"Just by your first word. After the woman finished speaking, she didn't explain much, Nie Jiangsheng was stunned for a moment, his first sentence may not be anything, but the woman was a little touched, he didn't say the price, just pure concern from the bottom of his heart, and didn't say anything, stretched out his hand to hold the child in his arms.

"I hope the old man can treat him well, the little woman can't repay him, so I'll leave these to you!" The woman took out a package from her arms and put it on the table, Nie Jiangsheng could know with his eyesight that the amount of it was enough for him to live a lifetime.

He didn't shirk it, and carried the package in his arms, but these actions made the woman more reassured, and she stood up and wanted to leave.

"Can you tell me your name and his father's name. Maybe that day, he needs to know this. Nie Jiangsheng saw the determination in the woman's eyes, and then spoke.

"My surname is Lin, and my name is Shu. As for his father, it will be you from now on. The woman didn't say the name of the child's father, but Nie Jiangsheng's approach, her eyes flashed with satisfaction, maybe this is a good destination. After speaking, he stood up, walked to the bow of the boat, and looked at Gusu City.

I saw the next scene where she walked gently on the river, like a fairy in the clouds, with a light lotus foot, and slowly walked to the river. "I, Lin Qingshu, am in Xianlinjiang, and I welcome you. Her lips opened slightly, and then she slapped her palm at Nie Jiangsheng, and the surging lake pushed the boat very far.

"Old man, let's go, take this child with you, he will be your child from now on." I hope he can be this boatman for the rest of his life, plain as water. Nie Jiangsheng heard the voice in his ears that was like a substance, and he didn't say anything, he quickly held on to the boat and disappeared on the Xianlin River.

He returned to his home in fear, in a dense forest not far from the source of the Linxian River, and this night his ears echoed with the surging waves of the Linxian River, for the first time in hundreds of years.

"This river is called Xianlin, and there are people who cross the boat. Today's fighting waves, who knows tonight. ”
