Chapter 24 (27)
Nangong Xue folded the satin in two and put it on her arm. Pick up the cloth and place it neatly in a new category. After a while, all that was left was a piece of cyan satin in his hand. Glancing sideways at the night, he suddenly ran forward with a smile on his face, raised his hand and unfolded the fabric over him, slowly extending it from his shoulders. Dark Night exclaimed, "You...... Go away, don't move!" the fabric slid over his arm, as if it were touching human skin, and he avoided it.
Nangong Xue said: "You look good in this dress, but you should always leave a few changes of clothes around, so it's better to choose one for you." In this way, it looks like a person who has attained the Tao outside the world. Dark Night was displeased: "I don't need to, you stand away." ”
Nangong Xue smiled: "So unkind, if your family Menglin asked you to accompany her to pick satin, you would be so impatient, no wonder she would be angry and ignore you." Then again, have you never seen her dressed......?
Dark Night's face suddenly turned cold, he raised his hand to wave the fabric on his body, pushed Nangong Xue with his hand, and turned to leave. Nangong Xue said in her heart: "What are you angry about? It's really inexplicable, I didn't say anything wrong!" Just about to raise his steps to chase after him, the shopkeeper stepped forward and said with a smile: "This girl, you haven't given money yet!"
Nangong Xue hurriedly took out the money bag, hurriedly rummaged through it, anxious and emotionally confused, and couldn't find enough silver taels that could be put together, and then saw that the dark night died and disappeared, so anxious that she stomped her feet, and said angrily: "Don't do it!" Throwing down the two pieces of fabric together, three steps and two steps, chasing in the direction where the dark night had left. Behind him, the shopkeeper's chattering curses sounded, as if complaining about how he had just opened today and bumped into a madman.
The dark night didn't go quickly, Nangong Xue turned a few corners and found him without much effort. I just wanted to apologize, but I didn't know what I was wrong with, and I didn't want to lower my identity for this, so I said in my heart: "You can just throw people in the face, but others don't have to rush to ask you for forgiveness." Holding his breath, he didn't speak again all the way.
In the evening, the two walked to a small mountain pass. Nangong Xue was overjoyed when she saw the gurgling streams flowing on both sides, and small fish could be faintly seen swimming under the transparent lake, and beckoned, "Let's catch the fish and eat it again, right?"
Dark Night said: "Childish. I didn't bring the fire, how do you want to bake it on the fire?" As soon as Nangong Xue finished asking, she was worried that he would hate the things of the day and didn't want to deal with it, but now she saw that his heart was not particularly narrow. Besides, he shouldn't blame himself for what happened during the day, or he had already figured it out. Turning his head, he said, "Haven't you heard that the ancients drilled wood to make fire?" There are many big trees nearby, just cut down one of them, and it is more than enough to make firewood for tonight, and the rest can be used as oars on the boat." Nightshade frowned, "Tonight, are you going to stay here?"
Nangong Xue said: "Yes, I used to dream that I could go to these beautiful places with my senior brother, and now I can make up for my shortcomings." Listen to me, let's eat a meal of grilled fish first, then put a bunk here, sleep overnight, and set off the next day, and we will be able to rush to Huashan before noon, so we don't have to rush for a while. ”
Dark Night Death said coldly: "Don't be in a hurry, who was in a hurry before?" Nangong Xue's face turned red, and she tried her best to pretend to be serious, and said: "That's because I just heard about the mountain gate catastrophe and was worried about the safety of my master, so I was tired of running for my life." Now anyway, there is my senior brother sitting in Huashan, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, he will definitely be able to lead everyone out of trouble, I am just an insignificant little woman, whether I am there or not, it doesn't matter, it is better to let him have more than the addiction of showing his prestige. ”
Dark Night Death sneered: "Talking so much nonsense, I think you are scared, right?" Nangong Xue exclaimed: "How do you know ......" At the beginning, she only hoped to reunite with Li Yijie immediately, but as the return date approached, all kinds of emotions were surging with nervousness and fear. Time has passed, I really don't know how to get along, and I can't tell what kind of attitude my senior brother will use to treat me, and I really hope that day will come later. These secrets were already embarrassing to people, and they didn't want to lose their temper in words and deeds, so they coughed in their throat and said, "Who said that? What am I afraid of?"
Dark Night said: "Are you afraid of seeing Li Yijie and breaking your illusions." It's really stupid, you can't hide from him for the rest of your life, if you don't see him this time, I'm afraid that I won't have the courage to see him again in the future, how can you teach me that when you are the way, you still have a mess about your own affairs? Since you want to be a filial apprentice, it is really a bit inappropriate to ignore the master so much. ”
Nangong Xue said: "Who said I didn't see him? I'm just afraid that it will be too sudden and difficult to control my emotions." I...... I have a lot to say, and I have to think about it slowly, how do I say it to my senior brother...... "You have thought it through, why don't you want him to have the leisure to listen?
Nangong Xue's nose was sour, and she said: "I know, I know, when the martial arts are in danger, as long as I still have a little sense, I shouldn't use my children's personal feelings to disturb him." What's more, I already knew that he loved Shen Shiyun, no matter how well he treated me, it was just an ordinary brother and sister relationship...... He has this burden on his body, and he is always too busy to get out of his body, and it can only be a luxury to want him to accompany me here to see the scenery, and when the time comes, I may not have this leisure, this elegance...... As is the case with many things, if you miss the opportunity, you can't do it all over again. And I, I'm just a disgusted, stupid idiot......! I...... Woohoo......"
In the end, the sadness was even more uncontrollable, and a few tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, splashed into the water, and spread a narrow circle of ripples. Thinking of seeing the dark night, and despising himself again, he was embarrassed, and quickly turned around slightly and wiped his tears.
She has always been very strong, even if she saw her senior brother walking with Shen Shiyun intimately, she also pretended to be arrogant. In the top wall of Huashan for six years, even if he was tortured by loneliness several times and was about to go crazy, he never shed a single tear, and no matter how many grievances he had, he just swallowed it silently in his stomach. This time, I lost my temper for a while, and I cried, but it was okay not to hide it, so I raised my hand and wiped it, and suddenly all the sadness came out, I felt unspeakably melancholy, my nose was sour, and my eyes were filled with tears again.
Seeing her crying sadly in the dark night, somehow, she suddenly recalled that Chu Menglin had cried that she couldn't get her father's love, so she could only hide in the corner and feel sorry for herself. As soon as he saw the shadow of his sweetheart on Nangong Xue's body, he suddenly couldn't bear it, raised his eyes and looked at the bright lakes and mountains around him, and then thought: "In a few days, I will attack the helm of the Sacrificial Shadow Sect, and the best result I want is to die with the Jiang Devil, and if I want to kill him and then retreat, it can only be wishful thinking." This place, of course, was the last time I came. Alas, she hinted that I didn't understand the mood, could it be that I used to be so incomprehensible? If Meng Lin asked me to play with her, would I have put down all the things I had at hand to accompany her, and just wanted to coax her to smile? Then I must have ruined Menglin's interest, so she gradually became disillusioned with me and never came to me again. How long has it been since I've had a good time?"
After more than 20 years of rapid circulation in my mind, it was confirmed that all these years have been busy with tasks and revenge, and there has never been a day when I have lived purely for myself. Glancing at the lake around him, he saw that a reed swaying in the wind on the shore was finally swept into the lake by the turbulent current, so he said lightly: "Don't cry anymore, do you want the firewood to pile up in front of your eyes, or do you expect the fish in the lake to take the initiative to jump out and feed people?"
Nangong Xue whimpered and cried: "Are those fish stupid......? It's not a ...... to die" After saying three sentences, he realized that he was not hostile in what he said, and he didn't dare to be sure at will, so he said tentatively: "You...... You mean...... Will you stay with me for the night?"
Dark Night said angrily: "Otherwise, what else can you do? You can't think about it alone, if you die by throwing yourself into the water, then I don't know whose fault it is." But if Li Yijie procrastinates, maybe he went early, and he is still in a mess, and there is no conclusion, so it can only be regarded as a waste of time. ”
Nangong Xue burst into tears, and she couldn't wipe the tears on her eyes, and said: "Senior brother is not so slow, I am not so fragile......" Halfway through these words, her smile stiffened, thinking that she had put Li Yijie before herself without thinking about it just now, and she was almost accustomed to it, but in Li Yijie's heart, she didn't know how many people to rank her.
Seeing that her face was full of tears, her hand was just half raised, and she immediately drooped down, and said in her heart: "Why should you be soft-hearted to her? That's just a matter of sympathy, don't misunderstand her, it's not good for anyone. With a flick of the sleeves of his robe, he concealed his previous intentions without a trace, and said, "Don't be stunned, are you still going to cut down trees?"
Nangong Xue was confused by her own emotions, she didn't pay attention to the details just now, listened to his question, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, let's go." Pulled him to a big tree, the tree is only about a few decades old, the trunk is not thick, but the skin has long been pitted, adding many insect-eaten holes, Nangong Xue chose it in order to cut it down more effortlessly.
The dark night looked at the big tree boredly, and sometimes glanced at Nangong Xue, who was flushed with excitement. Once I happened to meet her eyes, I suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, and I was anxious to look away. Nangong Xue didn't notice that he was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Do you have an ax?"
Only then did Nangong Xue remember that his usual weapon was just a beautiful folding fan, and if he wanted to learn from him, he would never have such a perfect attainment. Stuck out his tongue and said: "I'm just asking casually, if you don't have it, why are you cruel to me?" took off the sword "Cangquan Longyin" from the belt of his clothes, and said with a smile: "The Nangong woman who has traveled all over the world is not so easy to be stumped, you see, I still have this." ”
Dark Night was stunned and said, "You...... You just use this sword to cut down trees......" Nangong Xue smiled: "Yes, make the best use of things, and it's not too bad to treat it." I also hope that the ancestors of the Huangshan Sect have spirits underground, don't get along with my ignorant juniors, I don't mean to spoil his sword. The dark night was shocked and said, "This ...... Don't use an elephant to crack a nut...... How dare you say that you haven't spoiled ......?"
Nangong Xue said with a smile: "I don't care how it was in the hands of the old-timers, how it used to kill demons, in my hands, it has to have some practical effect." For example, if I want to cut down a tree, it has to come in handy, otherwise it will be scrap metal regardless of whether it is a famous sword or not. Besides, this is not an Afterimage Sword, do you need to be so distressed?"
