"You've seen it?!"
At that moment, everyone was speechless in shock, everyone's eyes focused on the body of the second master, this man with a long shawl and unkempt smiled, and then a trace of joy suddenly flashed in his eyes, only to see him slap his face, and then said: "What I said before, just say that there must be a connection in this life." โ
Shi Sheng swallowed, recalling the words he had made to discuss his fate in the second master's house before, and the more he felt in awe of this seemingly inexplicable guy, it was no wonder that Na Du Guo and Lin Ruoruo trusted him so much, because this person really seemed to be a master who could break through the heavens.
After hearing him say that he had actually seen the person in the painting, Ba Bianye jumped up like crazy, stepped in front of the second master, grabbed the robe of the second master with both hands, and shouted in an excited tone: "Have you seen her?
His voice was hoarse, and it seemed that blood was shouting out of his throat, but as soon as he recovered from his injuries, he was forced to endure his guilt and tell the truth, and then he was stimulated so much, how could his old and old body eat?
Shisheng and Liu Bolun hugged him, and Liu Bolun secretly complained in his heart: I said uncle, you must hold on, it is easy to have a clue now, if you die at this time, then we have the heart to hit the wall.
After helping him to the bed, Lin Ruoruo stepped forward to take a look. After that, he said to everyone: "It's okay, it's just caused by too much stimulation and blood upsurge, it should be good to rest for a while." โ
See he's okay. Only then did everyone relax a little, so Shisheng hurriedly asked the second master: "You said that you have seen that woman, where did you see it, but is it true?"
"This is natural. In order not to disturb the rest of the Naba Frontier, they came to the door, and it was raining outside, and there was still no intention of stopping. The raindrops beat the leaves, the sound of the horn filled the city, and the second master sat on the ground at the door. Leaning back to the night rain, he said to everyone: "Think of my tricks, look at the man may not be able to remember, but the woman who has seen it has never forgotten it, I tell you.................."
"Ahem. "You must know that these two masters are strange people in the world. But the personality is weird. Talking to others but often turning the topic upside down and pulling the topic to other places, Du Guo was really afraid that the two masters would continue to talk nonsense and say something that did not find the edge, so he coughed twice, and then said: "Pick the key point, old sparrow, and then tell us about your romantic history when it's okay in the future, okay?"
You must know that now that Peacock Village is in the midst of life and death, everyone is really not in the mood to listen to some of his love history, so the second master also smiled a little embarrassedly after listening to her words, and then coughed dryly. Then Masase said, "Okay, let's get back to the subject, I've indeed seen the people on this painting." But as far as I know, she is not called Lin Bao'er, but Feng Qingluan, who was a courtesan second only to the Red Lady at that time. She can be regarded as the predecessor of the Red Lady, it is said that he was hidden behind the scenes singing at that time, even if he did not show his face from beginning to end, there were still a lot of dignitaries and dignitaries who forced their heads to listen to her songs, but as far as I know, she has been retired for a long time. โ
'Snow Ridge Bird Less', this is both the nickname of the second master of the night rain and his pen name, which means the meaning of the birds flying in the vast snow ridge, they have lived in Saibei for generations, and this generation of different families has a total of two brothers, the second master became famous since childhood because of his intelligent nature, he was a famous literati at that time, as the so-called reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, and when he traveled the world, he experienced many interesting things and made a lot of friends. You must know that since ancient times, the place where literati and writers have gathered the most to discuss literature and poetry is the Qinglou.
And in ancient times, there are countless good stories of wind and dust women and pianpian scholars, according to the time at that time, before and after twenty years of experience the rise and fall of the world at the same time, there are a total of three peerless singers in the world, these people have different ages, when there is really a great momentum of you singing and I appear, the first to become famous is called 'Miaoyin Feng Qingluan', according to legend, her singing voice is ethereal and beautiful, listening to the ears is like being scratched with a feather on the tip of the heart, even if she does not show her appearance just by virtue of her good voice has been famous in all directions. And when Feng Qingluan retired, there was another 'double red lady', this person sang and danced, in troubled times but can still become the darling of all countries, but just when she was in the limelight, she disappeared overnight, some people say that she was invited to Ma Cheng to celebrate for the merchant Qian Wenru, and then Ma Cheng was attacked by demons, and the red lady was killed.
Of course, they knew this in the world, and they knew that the red lady was not dead at all, and at this time she should be living a peaceful and happy life somewhere in the world with Bao Che, who was a treasure house. And in the past five years since the disappearance of the red lady, there seems to be another beautiful Oiran on the rivers and lakes who has become famous, this person is famous all over the world because of his appearance, and we will talk about her in the future, so I will not mention it here.
I saw the second master say: "I remember that I have heard her songs, and I am fortunate to have seen her face, and she can indeed be called the leader of flowers, but she has retired before the red lady became famous, and few people can know where she will be." โ
And after Liu Bolun told the second master, he secretly asked the paper kite next to him: "How old are you two masters?"
Paper Kite shook his head, and then said: "I don't know, I just feel that he is usually weird, sometimes as mature as an old man, but he looks so young." โ
The voice of their conversation was very soft, and the second master ignored it completely, and Shisheng couldn't help but feel a little lost when he heard that the woman had retired and disappeared, only to see him open his mouth and say softly: "Is there still no way?"
After seeing Shisheng's look of loss, the second master got up and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, don't be pessimistic, although I don't know where she is, someone must know." โ
"Who?" asked the crowd in unison.
"My brother Yiye Feng, the 'Yiyan clan' you know. Compared to my immature brother, that kid really inherited the ancestral teachings of our different families, and he has been interested in collecting and recording all kinds of things since he was a child. Half a year ago, he wrote to me, saying that he was going to make a list of the hundred flowers of the rivers and lakes to record the world-famous oiran in the past 50 years, so with his means, he would definitely have the phoenix in his hand now...... Lin Bao'er's address. โ
In fact, you are also quite like a madman's uncle, Liu Bolun and Li Hanshan smiled awkwardly. But after hearing the news, they were really surprised, how many days. Finally heard a piece of good news.
So Shisheng hurriedly asked the second master where the Yiyan clan lived, and the second master told them the address, and said that the fast horse would have to run back and forth for three days to deliver the letter, but this was not a problem for them in the world. Because they have Xiaobai here. If the horse was three days away, the White Eagle should be able to arrive overnight, so Shisheng begged the second master to write a letter for his brother asking for the address, and then tied the letter to the White Eagle's right foot.
Xiao Bai touched its feathers lovingly, and told it the address and appearance of the different inkstone several times, and then his right arm shook, and the white eagle understood and flew into the sky in an instant. It happened to be night, and the white eagle's eyesight and strength were at their peak. I saw it circle three times over the house, and after identifying the direction, it let out a long whistle, then flapped its wings, and disappeared into the rain in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the white eagle flying away in the rain, everyone still had a little worry in their hearts, the white eagle psychic would definitely rush to the Yi Yan clan's house before dawn, but if the Yi Yan clan didn't know Lin Bao'er's whereabouts, then what should they do?
The rain hadn't stopped, the night breeze was cool, and Ba Bianye kept muttering Lin Bao'er's name in a coma, and all that everyone could do at that time was to wait slowly.
On the second day, there were still four days before the evil demon road became famous and got out of trouble, and there were still three days before the conch of the four seas destroyed miรจ.
The rain finally stopped all night, and when the sun came out, Shi Xiaoda on the thatched hut was still quietly staring ahead, and under the cloak, Liu Liu and Meng Meng were sleeping soundly, Shi Xiaoda did not have the habit of sleeping in the house, for this archer, he needed to perceive a change in the outside world at any time, including the trajectory of the rising sun, the footprints on the muddy land, and when a drop of dew slipped on the leaves of the big tree next to him, Shi Xiaoda saw a white goshawk soaring in the sky in the distance.
The white light is back! and brought news of the Yiyan clan.
After everyone learned about this, they all gathered in the study of the second master, God opened their eyes, the Yiyan clan really knew the whereabouts of Feng Qingluan, that is, Lin Bao'er, and described it in great detail, where she is now staying is not far from Peacock Village, just in a small village in Bingzhou, but after everyone learned about Lin Bao'er's recent situation, they were all silent and speechless.
God seems to have really opened his eyes, not long after the white eagle brought back the whereabouts of Lin Bao'er, Ba Bianye also opened his eyes, a qiฤ seems to have been doomed, the sky is high and the clouds are light, today seems to be a day of reunion.
The distance from here to there is in the feet of the white donkey, and he can go back and forth in two days, and when Ba Bianye heard the news, he burst into tears again, but this time he was not too sensational, but was excited like a child, and he begged Na Du Guo if he could give him a new set of clothes, because he did not want to show his down-and-out side to his sweetheart in this reunion.
People wait for the hour, but the hour waits for the hour, everyone knows this, so after Ba Bianye changed into new clothes, Shisheng and Liu Bolun took him with him.
Originally, Shisheng's injury was not yet healed, so the little white paper kite did not agree with his decision, but Shisheng still insisted on doing so, because he felt that the next scene might be very enlightening to him.
So, the three of them went on the road, fortunately, after Shisheng took the medicine of the second master, he recovered quickly, and at this time he was able to lift his qi to heal his injuries, along the way, the Ba Bianye on the back of the donkey was very excited, and he completely lost the decadent appearance before, he kept asking the two about his own affairs, does this dress fit, and what is better to say to him after seeing her?
And the two of them didn't say a word, and more often, they just responded with a somewhat helpless smile: Everything is good, you can just watch it yourself.
Because except for this Ba Bianye, in fact, everyone already knows the recent situation of Lin Bao'er, but they can't bear to say it.
The white donkey ran very fast, and in one day he had reached the boundary of the state. By the time the sun was setting in the west, they had already arrived at the small village.
The little village was very quiet, and there was a small river running on the edge of the village. Relying on the terrain, although the days are poorer, there are no monsters and wars, but it is very suitable for people to escape the world.
It seems that there are no outsiders in the small village all the year round, and now there are three strangers dressed strangely, and many children are looking at them like animals, and Liu Bolun was carrying a burden at that time. I saw that he took out a handful of dried apples as apples from his baggage and distributed them to the children, and after the children came forward to snatch them up, Liu Bolun asked them: "Do you know where Feng Qingluan lives?"
The kids all shook their heads. said that this person had never heard of it, and after Liu Bolun thought about it, he asked Lin Baoer's name again, and the children shook their heads again. Only one child said, "I've heard my grandmother say it before." The eldest girl in the west of the village is surnamed Lin, but I don't know if it's the one you said. โ
It should be that, Liu Bolun turned around and looked at Shisheng, Shisheng nodded, so Liu Bolun took out some dried fruits and distributed them to the children, and then the three of them led the white donkey towards the west of the village.
It's also strange to say that Ba Benye, who was still very excited on the road, had a nervous expression at this time, and he walked last. With his head down, he seemed to be a little hesitant.
The two of them knew it in their hearts. Although he has been looking for so long, he has searched all over the country, and finally even returned to Qishan unconsciously, but now he really wants to get what he wants and is about to see the person in the painting again, but his two feet are as uncertain as his heart at this time, and even he himself does not know what he is afraid of.
Why be afraid? Haven't you finally found it?
Ba Bianye kept asking himself in his mind, and time was slow and fast, and when Ba Bianye was stunned, he suddenly heard the previous life say softly: "It's here." โ
Ba Bianye returned to his senses, and when he saw that Shisheng and Liu Bolun had stopped, Shisheng pointed to a small courtyard in the distance and said, "That should be her home, and it is inconvenient for us to follow along, so please go by yourself." โ
"Ah, ah, good, good!" Babeno nodded in a hurry and said, "I, I'll go." โ
After finishing speaking, I saw him swallow and smear, then calm down and tidy up his clothes again, and then took a deep breath and walked towards the direction of the small courtyard very worriedly.
This section of the road is only dozens of zhang away, but Ba Bianye feels that the road under his feet at this time is longer than all the roads he has walked before combined. As he walked, he recalled in his mind the scene when they first met, those past, those happy times, those murmurs in the middle of the night, as if they were still yesterday.
He walked very slowly, and the thoughts in his heart gradually changed, from apprehension, to expectation, and then to joy, but there was no trace of sadness, yes, I finally found her, why should I be sad?
At that moment, Ba Bianye seemed to have returned to his youth, he felt that his past time was like a dream, yes, it should be a dream, now that he woke up from the dream, everything has not changed, Lin Baoer is still waiting for him there, just in that courtyard, still smiling and waiting for him.
Thinking of this, Ba Bian ambition was excited, so he quickened his pace, almost ran to the outside of the courtyard, he couldn't suppress his beating heart, so he couldn't wait to raise his head and look out of the low wall into the courtyard.
Sure enough, Lin Baoer was there!
At this moment, Lin Bao'er is wearing a peasant girl's costume and is sitting on the swing under the gourd rack to play, but her appearance has not changed much, she is still so beautiful, although her skin is tanned by the life of sunny cultivation and rain, but it still can't hide her appearance!
The tears in Ba Bianye's eyes couldn't stop flowing down, at this time he couldn't resist the urge to call Lin Bao'er, and just when he was about to speak, suddenly Lin Bao'er on the swing seemed to have something, so she hurriedly jumped down and ran into the house.
Ba Bianye was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, there was a cough in the room, and Lin Bao'er's voice: "Mother, you are not in good health, you should rest more, why did you get up after sleeping like this?"
............ Although her voice was very good, Ba Bianye suddenly felt that this voice was very unfamiliar, and at this moment, a kind voice came from the room: "I can't sleep." Good daughter, take me to the courtyard and sit down. โ
And although this voice sounded very old, Babian ambition felt as if he had been struck by a copper hammer. Because it's so familiar.
Seeing the girl walking out with an old woman in her arms, the old woman was hunched over, wearing a coarse cloth dress, her head was half white, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes seemed to be the best pen and ink for writing time, and with the support of the girl, she came to a wooden chair and sat down. Then they chatted with the girl.
And her words and deeds were enough for Lin Baoer back then.
back then.
It was at this moment that Ba Bianye suddenly woke up. Although he didn't care about the time at all when he was looking for Lin Bao'er, at this moment, after seeing Lin Bao'er, who was old with him, he understood. It turned out that time did not pass on him alone. It turns out that so many years have passed.
And the mother and daughter in the courtyard didn't seem to be crying outside the wall, they were still holding hands and chatting to enjoy the family, only to see the girl say to her mother: "Mother, you should pay more attention to your body, I will get married in a few days, how can I rest assured of you?"
Her mother smiled and said, "yes." I'm afraid my body is caused by being too tired when I was young. Hey, time waits for no one, I'm afraid the happiest time in my mother's life is to be with you, so my mother hopes that you can find someone who does your duty, don't do it. โ
"What about Dad?" I saw the little girl laugh and said, "Did you stay with Dad because he was honest?"
"Maybe. Her mother said: "I was really tired at the time, I wanted to live a peaceful life, your father is a good person, that's enough, my mother has experienced all kinds of people in her life, so I am content." โ
"But I haven't experienced it. I saw the girl pouting and saying, "I also want to wear beautiful clothes and see the outside world." โ
"Those things, it's enough for me to tell you. Her mother kindly touched her head, and then said, "In the future, when you have given birth to a child and are safe, it will not be too late to go to see it with your husband, you still have a lot of time, so don't worry." โ
yes, you still have a lot of time.
Outside the wall, Babian Ambition repeated this sentence in her heart, tears blurred her eyes, but the scene in front of her was so clear, the girl was coquettish to her mother, and a warm family scene quietly appeared in front of his eyes.
Didn't you say that you have to wait for me? not for how long.
Oh my God, how long has it been?
Who can sue me for as long as it takes.
At that moment, Ba Bianye suddenly turned around and ran, he ran all the way to the river, kneeling on the riverbank and looking at his reflection in the water, old and white, like a stranger.
It turned out to be really a dream, that day, that night, that search all the way, all just a beautiful and young dream, and now he woke up, although those memories are like yesterday, but at this time he is already a pale old man. Why is this happening? It's only been more than 30 years!?
It turns out that in the snail of the four seas, the snail people have a pure heart and few desires all day long, plus the fish born by eating magic weapons all year round, so the youth passes slowly, just like his younger brother Banan, who is obviously only six years younger than him, but at this time he is still like a middle-aged man in his forties, and Ba Bianye has been in the world outside the snail all day long, and has seen the world all the heat and cold, so he naturally looks very old.
The old man in his last years, Ba Bianye thought about it, and finally figured it out.
"Haha............" Ba Bianye sat on the river bank and laughed quietly, no tears, no searching, no waiting.
It turned out that what he had been looking for was exactly what he had never wanted to face.
He had fantasized countless times about the scene when they met, but he never thought it would be like this, he was a simple-hearted snail, and he was obsessed with love, so he could always live in his fictional fantasy of reunion.
And Shisheng and Liu Bolun had quietly come behind him, and when they saw him laughing again, there was a sour taste in their hearts, only to see Shisheng say to Naba Bianye: "Old man, cry if you want to cry, this time you can cry as long as you want, we won't stop you." โ
The old Ba Bianye shook his head, his dream finally woke up, so he said to the two of them: "It has been so long, it seems to be old in an instant, but I won't cry, because she hasn't changed, I finally understand." It doesn't matter if it's 10 years, 20 years, 30 years. She hasn't changed or left, because she's here, right in my heart. โ
As he spoke, Ba Bianye pointed to the part of his heart, and then said: "The person who changed is actually me, it's me, just because I stubbornly buried that time in my heart." Perhaps the most beautiful things can only appear in the heart. โ
Yes, actually, the most beautiful thing. It can only be stored in the imagination, and when you get it, you will realize that the beauty of the past has changed.
And becoming actually not beautiful. It's your heart.
In fact, Lin Baoer really waited for him for a long time. It wasn't until his father died, that the passage of time made her realize that she really couldn't wait because of an empty word, how could she only use a beautiful story for countless nights? She was tired and didn't want to wait, so she quietly retreated, and then found an honest scholar to marry, and lived in seclusion in this small village in Hanoi.
Time has taught her a truth, rather than yearning for a good promise. It's better to find a bland sustenance, that's all.
It's not her to blame. Because she said that she would wait for as long as she wanted, but how long is her life? If she misses it, it will be as long as she wants.
And Ba Bianye now understands better, since he likes her, it is enough to see her so happy now, what right does he have to bury the life of his beloved with a selfish wait?
yes, that might be enough.
Shisheng and Liu Bolun shook their heads and sighed, only to see Naba Bianye say: "I am finally liberated, yes, liberated............ I will go back with you next, because I still have something to do, I will tell you the truth of the matter, and I will take on a qiฤ, this is my last request as a national of Dongluo, thank you. โ
As he spoke, he saw that Ba Bianye knelt on the ground, and Shisheng and Liu Bolun hurriedly helped him up, and at the same time sighed, people, sometimes I can't figure out a problem that I can't figure out after thinking about it all my life, but I can figure it out in an instant.
People are such a wonderful thing.
And although Babianye was enlightened, they couldn't leave immediately at this time, because they still had something to do, that is, to retrieve the last national treasure, the conch.
In fact, before they came, the second master gave them an idea, and they were now dressed as if they were a buyer who traveled all over the world, so Liu Bolun and Shisheng wanted to go to Lin Bao'er's house to talk to her, and Ba Bianye cleaned up his mood and wanted to follow, he told the two that he would never go on a business trip again this time, just a goodbye between strangers and strangers.
So the three of them knocked on the door of the courtyard with different moods, and the maiden saw the stranger three, and asked them what they were going to do, and when she learned that they were the merchants who received the goods, she was very happy to lure them in.
You must know that this mountain village is too far away from the town, and sometimes she does not come back to the merchant once a year, and now she is just in time to get married, so she wants to exchange some rouge gouache with them.
And the old Lin Bao'er looked at Ba Bianye, a picture of never seeing her at all, the girl took out some mountain goods and bartered with them, but it was only enough to exchange for a few things, that Lin Bao'er saw her daughter looking at the pile of rouge things with very envious eyes, so she smiled kindly, and then said to her: "Good daughter, there is still some silver money under the mother's bed, go and get it for these little brothers." โ
"Old lady, we don't want silver. I saw Liu Bolun say: "I think the conch next to your water tank is quite interesting, can you exchange it with us? โ
Liu Bolun saw the conch early in the morning after entering the hospital, and Ba Bianye's body was shocked at this time, he looked at the old woman, only to see that the old woman looked at her daughter's begging expression, and then said, "You want that." โ
"yes. Liu Bolun smiled, and then said, "It should be possible, a conch." โ
"Yes, yes. The old woman smiled and said, "It was given to me by a friend of mine." โ
"What friend?" Hearing this, Ba Bianye finally couldn't help it, and he asked tremblingly, "What friend will give you a conch?"
After thinking about it, the old woman said softly, "It's been a long time, and you may not believe it." โ
"Mother, are you going to tell the ghost story of that spider spirit again?" I saw the girl say, "I don't believe it when I grow up." โ
"Yes. The old woman sighed, then smiled and said, "Sometimes I wonder if it was just a story I came up with in a whim, and I had such an experience at night when I was younger............ Alas, it's nice to be young. โ
