The carriage that Su Qingwan was sitting in stopped outside Wuyi Lane and did not follow.

She entered the alley by herself.

She wore a white dress embroidered with two colorful butterflies on the side of her skirt and carried a four-tiered snack box. This appearance is already incompatible with the old mottled alleys.

The bluestone pavement under his feet was a little dirty, staining the pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with butterflies in gold silk.

In the alley, not only the young man looked at her strangely, but everyone here looked at her strangely.

There are doubts, there are envy, there are coveting, there are jealousy.

Only there is no familiarity.

They don't recognize the little girl named Shui'er anymore, they only regard her as the eldest lady of a rich family.

Shui'er was her previous name. The Qiuyue Palace Lord of Ruizhu Palace said, Shui'er Shui'er's is not good, it is destined to be dripping, and he will shed tears for the rest of his life, so let's change his name.

So, she called the name "Su Qingwan".

Su Qingwan walked to the white-headed woman's side, opened the dim sum box, pointed to the dim sum inside, and said to her, "Auntie, I brought some dim sum, shall I get some for your house?"

The white-headed woman was flattered, hurriedly waved her hand, and said, "No need, no need, my aunt has no money, no money!"

She recognized these dim sums as valuable goods in Yutang Zhai in Yangzhou City, and a few dim sums cost a few taels of silver. If she bumped into it, she couldn't afford it.

Su Qingwan shook her head with a smile and said, "No money, this is for you, thank you." ”

Her eyes crossed the shoulders of the white-headed woman, and she saw the young man who was hiding behind the door and secretly watching her, the young man who had slapped her and called her cheap, but now when he saw her, he didn't even dare to raise his face.

The ugly duckling back then has turned into a big white swan.

It's impossible to look at it directly.

"This ......"

The woman was still a little hesitant, Su Qingwan had already taken a layer of snacks and stuffed them into her hands.

The woman was still in a daze, and Su Qingwan had already walked to the next house.

She was behind Su Qingwan, and the Bodhisattva called out Bodhisattva, probably thinking of her as a rich family who came to the slums to give alms, and those people liked others to call them Bodhisattvas the most.

Su Qingwan shared snacks and sweets all the way, and walked all the way forward.

At the end of the alley, there is a private school of an old Xiucai.

Lao Xiucai was sitting in his rocking chair, his eyes closed, shaking slowly.

He was too old, his white beard was long, but his hair was about to fall out, and he couldn't even tie up a hairpin.

Su Qingwan approached him, and he realized that someone was coming, and opened his eyes to see her.

"Sir, do you want some snacks, I'll get you some." Su Qingwan took out the last few snacks in the snack box and said, "It doesn't stick to your teeth, you don't have to bite, it's very suitable for your old people!"

Lao Xiucai didn't speak, nor did he reach out to pick it up, he was fixed there, his eyes looking straight at Su Qingwan.

Su Qingwan looked behind her with some suspicion and found that there was no one, so she was sure that he was looking at herself.

"Old gentleman......" Su Qingwan said with some confusion.

"You...... You're Shui'er!" Lao Xiucai said with trembling hands.

"Hmm...... Well, yes, it's me!"

Su Qingwan nodded, and was recognized, somewhat surprised and somewhat happy.

In this alley, there are still people who remember themselves.

"You...... You're doing well!" Lao Xiucai was very happy and said: "That's good, that's good, your grandmother can look down underground, and you can cross the bridge with peace of mind, you were kidnapped back then, and I was still very worried......"

Yes, she was taken captive by human traffickers and raised as an animal, waiting to be sold for a good price later.

It was supposed to be a miserable life, but fortunately, she escaped, entered the Ruizhu Palace, and became a female cultivator of the Ruizhu Palace. Now, on behalf of the Ruizhu Palace, he has to participate in the Golden Scale Test of the Immortal Court, and have the opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step.

"It's all over, old man!"

"Yes, it's over, it's over......" Lao Xiucai was happy for Su Qingwan.

"Grandpa, do you remember Li Gouwa? It's the black and thin one. Su Qingwan searched all the way and found many familiar people, but the one named Li Gouwa was gone.

The boy gave her steamed buns to eat when she was hungry, and she should thank him no matter what.

"Remember, how not remember. Lao Xiucai recalled and said: "At that time, he seemed to have shown me a handkerchief, with words on it, and I remember that the content was...... The content is...... Oops, I forgot the content. But the boy was happily gone! I remember that very well!"

"Handkerchief, what handkerchief?" Su Qingwan didn't remember either.

It turned out that she also had things to forget.

"I don't remember, I don't remember. Lao Xiucai shook the rocking chair.

"Where is he now?" asked Su Qingwan.

"It's like ...... In a nearby land temple. Lao Xiucai said uncertainly.

"Well, thank you!" Su Qingwan put the snack on Lao Xiucai's body, bowed slightly, thanked him, and walked out of the alley.

Lao Xiucai was lying on the rocking chair, holding those pieces of Yutangzhai's dim sum, eating them with taste.

Su Qingwan walked out of the alley and looked back at the alley. The old alleys are mottled, and the old hometown is deep in grass and trees!

She misses it, but she never misses it.

......

Su Qingwan sat in the carriage, with doubts, after all, she went to the land temple that Lao Xiucai said, and went to find that Li Gouwa.

The door of the Land Temple was hidden and covered with cobwebs, not like it was inhabited.

Confused, she pushed the door in.

"Is there anyone?" Su Qingwan shouted.

No one answered her.

She carried the snack box, pinched the corners of her skirt, avoided the rubble, and carefully entered the inner hall of the Land Temple.

The inner hall was still empty, there was nothing, except for a few broken idols, only a broken mat. The wall was still covered with cobwebs like the door that had been hidden just now, and it looked like no one had taken care of it for a long time, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the broken mat.

It's not like it's inhabited at all.

With curiosity, Su Qingwan walked through the inner hall and came to the backyard.

There are dense weeds in the back, all of which are almost half a person tall, and there should be a lot of insects in them.

"There, as if there's something!"

Su Qingwan muttered to herself, carrying a snack box, stepping on the pair of embroidered shoes, and pushing aside the waist-length weeds, wanting to step forward to find out.

Soon, he could see clearly that it was a tombstone.

Behind the tombstone is a grave bag, which is a tomb.

"Who...... Dead?"

With an ominous premonition, she slowly lowered her gaze to the tombstone.

His expression was gloomy, and his willow eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Li Gouwa...... It...... Tomb!"

It turned out that the black thin boy who gave her countless black steamed buns to eat was already dead.

It turns out that good people really don't live long.

It turns out that everything is nothing but vanity, and it is all empty.

Su Qingwan suddenly felt that this place was too hateful, and the God of this heaven was too hateful, she didn't want to stay here anymore, she just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

So, she hurriedly walked out of the Land Temple, got into the carriage, left Wuyi Lane, Zhuque Bridge, Yangzhou City, left this "hateful place", and returned to the city of smoke and rain.

Yes, in the past six months, she is different from Wu Sizi, he has made rapid progress, and she has gained nothing.

Wu Sizi looked at the pity in Su Qingwan's eyes, and could probably guess what her current heart was, and seeing that she didn't want to talk deeply, he no longer talked about the matter with her, but changed the topic to another place.

He said: "What about the round Zen master, where is he now, he should have already arrived in this city of smoke and rain, right?"

Su Qingwan listened to Wu Sizi's words, but shook her head with a wry smile, and said: "Yuanzhi Zen Master, he is at the door, he doesn't want to come in, so he sleeps by the door, saying that he is a monk of Dabei Temple, who is ascetic and penance, and should not enter this high-end restaurant, so as not to violate the rules and precepts and mess up the Zen heart." ”

Wu Sizi heard this, but he frowned, and said: "How can this be? Half a year ago, he was not so pedantic, why half a year later, he seems to be a different person, and he has no spirituality? ”

With that, he went downstairs with Su Qingwan and went downstairs to meet the round monk he hadn't seen for half a year.
