Chapter 67: The Covenant
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. [Ran^Text^Library] My Fair Lady, Gentleman. "The girl who appeared in the peach forest looked like a fairy, even if it was the Yu Fei'er who was dedicated to cultivation, after seeing this girl, she was also attracted by this girl's beauty.
"Hey, did I scare you?" Seeing that the stranger who broke into the peach forest stared at him without blinking, and didn't say a word, the girl in the peach forest immediately asked Yu Fei'er curiously.
Hearing the girl's question, Yu Fei'er woke up. Immediately, Yu Fei'er realized that she had been a little rude just now, and hurriedly saluted the girl, and said, "I really didn't expect that there would be a girl in the peach forest in the backyard of Qingguan on this day." Just now, that is, the moment Xiaodao saw the girl, Xiaodao thought that it was a fairy in the sky who had descended to the earth, and for a while he could see God, it was really rude, and I hope this girl will forgive me. ”
Hearing that Yu Fei'er compared herself to a fairy in the sky, the girl in the peach forest laughed happily: "Where am I a fairy in the sky? It's just an ordinary girl who lives in the backyard of this Tianqingguan." The girl said as she walked in the direction of Yu Fei'er.
The girl's crisp silver bell-like laughter quickly penetrated Yu Fei'er's two ears, reaching the depths of Yu Fei'er's heart, and instantly stirred up ripples in the depths of Yu Fei'er's heart, which had already cultivated as calm as water. As the girl got closer and closer to her, Yu Fei'er's eyes were once again attracted by the girl, and she didn't want to leave for a moment.
When the girl in the peach forest walked to a place that was only one step away from Yu Fei'er and stopped, every detail of her face was completely presented in Yu Fei'er's eyes at this moment. The girl has a palm-sized melon seed face, her cheeks are slightly flushed, and there is a pair of shallow dimples in the middle, which is mischievous and charming. Under the two slender phoenix eyebrows, a pair of eyes are like stars, like the bright moon, and from time to time, you can see that there is light flashing from her eyes and hearts.
"What a pair of clear and bright eyes!" Yu Fei'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart. As her attention stayed between the girl's eyes for a long time, Yu Fei'er felt more and more that there seemed to be a kind of magic hidden in the pupils of the girl's eyes. Yu Fei'er hurriedly took her eyes off the girl's eyes. After Yu Fei'er's gaze escaped the girl's two eyes, his gaze immediately fell on the girl's delicate nose, which was inlaid in the center of the girl's face, small and delicate, as if it had been carefully carved by a craftsman. As Yu Fei'er's gaze continued to go down, soon, Yu Fei'er's eyes came to the girl's mouth the size of a cherry, the girl's lips were ruddy and shiny, delicate, and the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned even when the girl was not smiling, she would give people a very cordial feeling, and once the girl laughed, the two small dimples between the cheeks immediately became obvious, all of which showed that the girl was born an optimist.
Looking at it, Yu Fei'er was stunned again, standing still in place, and forgetting the etiquette for a while. At this moment, Yu Fei'er only hoped that she could look at this girl for a while, so that every look on this girl's face could be deeply engraved in her heart, so that it would never disappear in her memory.
"Don't I have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth? The girl craned her neck, poked her head out, and asked Yu Fei'er with wide eyes.
Hearing the girl's question, Yu Fei'er hurriedly came back to her senses. The moment Yu Fei'er came back to his senses, his eyes met the girl's eyes staring at him. Between the four eyes, Yu Fei'er panicked in her heart, and immediately lowered her head like a child who had made a mistake, and at the same time her face was flushed, and her mouth was stumbling, not knowing how to answer the girl's question.
"Where, where...... Actually, it's all the same, no, no...... I don't mean that, I mean ......" Yu Fei'er, who is usually clever and eloquent, can't even say a complete sentence now, don't you say it's strange? After Yu Fei'er's flustered heart calmed down a little, he quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then asked the girl: "Girl, you just said that you live in the backyard of this Tianqingguan? Could it be that this Tianqingguan still accepts female disciples? What is going on?"
"I'm not a disciple of this Heavenly Qingguan. Thanks to the reception of the master of Tianqingguan, Xuanji Daoist, my grandfather and I were able to temporarily live in the backyard of this Tianqingguan. The girl replied.
"Do you only live here with your grandfather? What about your parents? Why don't they live with you?" asked Yu Fei'er immediately.
"I don't even know what my parents look like, and I've only heard my grandfather talk about them. My grandfather told me that not long after I was born, there was a massive plague in my hometown, and my parents left me in the midst of this great plague, and my grandfather eventually sold all the family property in order to bury my parents. After that, my grandfather took me around and begged for a living. Just when our grandfather and grandson wandered into Suzhou City, they happened to be met by this Tianqing Guan Master Xuanji Daoist in Suzhou City. This Xuanji Daoist took pity on our grandfather and grandson very much, and decided to take in our grandfather and grandson to live in the backyard of his Tianqing Temple temporarily, and specially take care of this peach blossom forest in the backyard of Tianqing Temple for him. Since then, my grandfather and I have bid farewell to our wandering life and lived a stable life. As she spoke, the girl's tears began to roll in her eyes, and her face became more and more sad.
Seeing that the tears in the girl's eyes were about to drip down, Yu Fei'er was anxious to comfort the girl, but he didn't know what to say, which is why the words of comfort to the girl that came out of his mouth were a little intermittent: "I also know the pain of losing the love of my parents...... Actually, I also ...... the trail Anyway, girl, don't be sad anymore. Human life, old age, sickness and death are already predestined, we have no right to choose, let alone escape, but we can do it, that is, through our own efforts, strive to control all the things we can control in our own hands. ”
Although Yu Fei'er's words were intermittent, to the girl's ears, she had fully understood the meaning of Yu Fei'er's words. "Actually, you don't need to comfort me, for so many years, I have already had my own thoughts about the loss of my parents' love. As she spoke, the girl lifted her hand and wiped the tears that were about to burst from her eyes with her cuffs. Then, she pointed to the peach blossoms on a peach branch beside her and continued: "In my opinion, human life actually has many similarities with the peach blossoms on these branches. Just after the girl said this unique idea in her heart, the sadness on her face was swept away, and she returned to her previous playful appearance,
After listening to the girl's unique opinion, Yu Fei'er nodded thoughtfully, and the sorrow that appeared in his heart before because he missed his parents instantly disappeared in the girl's smile. Yu Fei'er looked at the girl in front of her gratefully and smiled, and at this time, the girl was also smiling at him. After being relieved, the two of them smiled so sweetly that the peach blossoms around the two began to diffuse the sweet fragrance of talking. At this time, Yu Fei'er, he only thought that he could stay with this girl for a while, as long as he stayed with her, he could feel how beautiful the world was.
The two stood silently together, looking at each other, silent but not dull. In the end, it was the girl who took the lead in breaking the silence between the two: "I have seen all the Taoist priests in this Tianqingguan, but I have never seen you, judging from your clothes, you should not be the Taoist priests in this Tianqingguan, right?"
"Well, the trail is from Putuo Mountain, called Yufei'er, and there is a very important thing to do when I come to Tianqingguan. Afterwards, Yu Fei'er told the girl about the purpose of her and Wen Yiyang's coming to this Tianqingguan, as well as some of the things that happened after the two came to this Tianqingguan. After she finished speaking, Yu Fei'er immediately asked the girl: "Now, the girl already knows Xiaodao's name, but Xiaodao still doesn't know the girl's name?"
"My name is Lei Ting, and I have lived in the backyard of Qingguan for more than ten years. In other words, I have been with these peach trees in this peach blossom forest for more than ten years. Usually, there are few strangers in this peach forest, and I rarely go out to this day, and I accompany the peach trees here almost every day. I guess if I suddenly leave here one day, these peach trees in the peach orchard will definitely want to kill me. After speaking, Lei Ting laughed playfully.
"Don't say it's the peach trees in these peach orchards, even I, who have only seen Ting'er in this peach orchard, will often think of a sister like you in Tianqingguan after leaving Tianqingguan. In the depths of her love, Yu Fei'er completely forgot whether she should be ashamed to say such a thing, "Looking at Ting'er's age, she should be one or two years younger than Yu Fei'er, right?"
"After this year, Ting'er will be sixteen years old. ”
"Ha! It's exactly the same as Fei'er's guess, it seems that Fei'er is right to call you sister. ”
"Since you have already called me sister, can Ting'er also call you brother? Brother, if you think of your sister one day, you can come to Suzhou City from Putuo Mountain to see me. I know that you Taoist monks like to travel the world the most, maybe one day when my brother is traveling, I happen to pass through this Suzhou City, and my brother can come to Tianqing to watch my sister. I'm afraid that when that day comes, my brother will have forgotten about my younger sister a long time ago. Lei Ting pretended to be very sad and said deliberately.
"Today's farewell, the end of the world will be separated, even if you and I never have the opportunity to see each other again, my brother will always remember my sister's appearance. If he thinks of his sister every day, it is like looking for flowers in the fog and looking at the moon in the water. After speaking, Yu Fei'er closed her eyes and kept sketching Lei Ting's appearance in her mind, for fear that she would miss something in her memory.
"Brother, don't be sad, it's hard to say goodbye when you see each other, we will meet again one day. Besides, hasn't my brother been living in Tianqingguan these days? You can come to the backyard every day to play with me, my grandfather and I live in a small wooden house in this backyard, and my brother can soon see such a small wooden house as long as he walks along this path in the peach forest. Lei Ting said as she raised her hand and pointed to the path in front of her.
"I'd like to go to my sister's cabin right now and see what it's like to live there, but it's getting late today, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow." Then I'll make an agreement with my sister here, and you'll be waiting for me in your cabin tomorrow. Yu Fei'er said expectantly.
"Oh, I've been talking so much with my brother that I've forgotten the time, and my grandfather must be in the cabin waiting for me to go back for dinner. My sister is going back, brother, you should go back too. After Yu Fei'er's reminder, Lei Ting looked up at the sky and said anxiously.
"It's better sister, you go first, let my brother see you off. Yu Fei'er said.
"Alright then, my sister will go first. By the way, brother, don't forget to come to me tomorrow. After speaking, Lei Ting walked along the path in the direction of the cabin where she lived, and as she walked, she turned back to Yu Fei'er and shouted, "Go back, brother." ”
Yu Fei'er kept waving her hand at Lei Ting, watching Lei Ting's back gradually disappear in the afterglow of the setting sun. After Lei Ting's back completely disappeared into the peach forest, Yu Fei'er still stood in place, her eyes staring ahead, without the slightest intention of going back.
As the last sunset on the horizon melted into the dark twilight, the sky darkened instantly, and the bees and butterflies that used to be busy in the peach blossoms were long gone. At this time, a gust of wind blew quietly, with a hint of coolness passing over Yu Fei'er's face, and immediately woke up Yu Fei'er, who was still in a daze. Only then did Yu Fei'er realize that the path in the peach forest had completely disappeared into the night, and there was still Lei Ting's shadow at this time.
Yu Fei'er reluctantly turned his body and walked towards the side room in Tianqing Temple. At this time, only the peach trees in the peach orchard were still swaying in the evening breeze, as if they were telling each other about a good relationship that had just happened here.
Yu Fei'er and Na Lei Ting agreed to meet again tomorrow, but where would he have thought that by tomorrow, the flood that had ravaged the entire city of Suzhou five years ago would actually reappear. (.)
