471 Lingering Charm (2)
Not long after, there was an additional pharmacy called Ningren Pavilion under the Black Stone Cliff, and ten days before the opening, no matter how big or small the illness was, no matter how big or small, no matter how big or small, the medicine was given with the prescription. When the poor and sick people heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, and for a time the crowd was full of people, and the people who came to see Dr. Li lined up from the corner of the street to the end of the alley. There was also a white-haired old man in the pharmacy, smiling all day long, copying prescriptions and grabbing medicines in front of the medicine cabinet. His hands, without weighing, knew the weight of the dispensing, and when the man weighed and checked, he never saw a discrepancy.
Next to the pharmacy, there is a small "Lanxin" flower shop, and in the storefront nearby, you can smell the fragrance of flowers in all seasons, there is no other binding, only rows of flower stands stand on three walls. There are hundreds of kinds of novel potted flowers that have never been seen by people on the south coast on the flower stands, blooming in various graceful shapes. In the flower shop, occasionally a woman without makeup will be seen, wearing a fresh bun, trimming and fiddling with the fragrance of the room with her slender jade fingers. Everyone said that it was the most beautiful flower shop under the black rock cliff, and it was also the best flower shop in business.
The mountain road is heavy and heavy, with ups and downs.
After hiking for many days, the sea of snow in men's clothes was already full of smoke and dust, but the sword in her hand had a little more silver brilliance.
Passers-by call him a chivalrous man.
However, there was nothing to worry about, and she had only one thought, to go home.
Qi Tianqiao has been following her, a hundred steps away from her, no matter where she stays, when she eats, she goes with her. But he guessed that Chu Xuehai would definitely not talk to him anymore, and the tooth marks left on his wrists were still stained with blood. He allowed the north bank to take Xie Junhe away, he should have been labeled as a "coward" long ago!
But Xuehai has been letting him follow.
She wanted to inquire about her brother's news, but there were no other rumors except for the inexplicable news that he had committed suicide on the top of the Black Stone Cliff that had spread all over the rivers and lakes. Most of the people on the south bank don't believe it, saying that the white-clothed holy envoy made up a deceitful nonsense, but no one can tell what the truth is. I only know that the obituary of the Feather Sword Sect passed away from Feng Ruohan, and the Black Stone Cliff was silent.
Finally, after climbing a hill further, you can see the long-lost home. The sky reflected the clear spring, and she ran to the spring to wash her face. A completely unfamiliar shadow was reflected in the spring water. She was surprised, where did the heroic spirit between the eyebrows come from? Who did the edges and corners between the nose and eyes belong to? What about her own pink face? Is there only a hard line?
She hesitated.
The last look in Xie Junhe's mind came to mind, always sharp, but with a calm smile - it was because of her, because he was worried that the Qin family would be angry with Chu Xuehai, so he easily chose to be arrested.
What else can stop Xie Junhe's footsteps?
She wasn't like yesterday anymore, but if the price of growing up was so painful, she would rather be like a child forever.
Qi Tianqiao sat far away under the tree, his arms folded, looking at her. Of course, her hesitation and sadness did not escape his gaze.
She rushed up the high slope with all her might, ignoring the tangled rocks and tree roots under her feet, and in the blink of an eye, the familiar picture unfolded in front of her: patches of pink walls and tiles, and the endless river in the distance. It's just that the white flags of the conjuring spirits stand all over the town, dancing in the wind. A sense of sadness as if covered in snow permeated the entire town.
She knew that some of the rumors should be true. There was such a big thing happening at the Black Stone Cliff, and Chu Tao actually had no news, which in itself was not good news. Suddenly, my heart was unprecedentedly unprecedented. If she listened to Xie Junhe's persuasion that day and came back in time, she would at least be able to see her brother or Senior Feng. If she hadn't taken it upon herself to accept Qi Tianqiao's invitation to go to the North Shore to meddle in affairs, at least her brother wouldn't have to worry about her. Go back at this time, just in case, all the rumors come true......
She was scared.
"Snow Sea, I'm home. Tian Qiao said behind her, "The road ahead, you can only walk alone." ”
"I didn't say I wanted you to follow. She was still a little angry.
"I know you're going to blame me for being cowardly, but for the sake of the Qi family, I don't have a better choice. ”
"I didn't say I was going to blame you. ”
Tian Qiao hooked the corners of his mouth slightly: "It's me who was cowardly." Without you coming to the North Shore to help me, I wouldn't be able to handle a lot of things. You don't know, when the head of Chu told me that something was going to happen to the Qi family that day, I promised him to go back immediately, but when I left your house, my legs were weak. Later, Cheng Daxia asked me to take charge of the house, and I couldn't dream of such a day even if I dreamed before...... I trembled with fear. ”
"If you want to say anything, just say it, don't make an analogy with yourself. "The clever Xue Hai understands it as soon as he hears it.
But Tian Qiao still said seriously: "It's true, I was really afraid at that time - if he wasn't so willful at that time, but stayed with his father, maybe he would be fine now." But then I figured out that things don't happen because I don't go back, on the contrary, if I don't move forward, things will only get worse. And I must not see the Qi family disappear forever...... As a result, the legs are not weak. ”
Xue Hai heard the meaning of consolation, and let out a long sigh: "You don't know, what it's like for an eldest brother to be like a father - the entire Feather Chasing Sword Sect knows that he spoils me, I am rampant and domineering at home, and I don't have to be afraid of the sky falling." Although he didn't suffer less, he coaxed me every time he finished the punishment - he really treated me like a child. I only remember a portrait of my father, and I can't see my mother sitting in the Buddha hall all day long. Since I was a child, as long as I relied on him, I had sugar gourds to eat...... This has become a habit, and no one in the family dares to pluck the feathers on the tiger's head except me. ”
Tian Qiao laughed: "Isn't this about to see him?
Xue Hai knew that she shouldn't understand, so she only laughed back shallowly. Shen Yanfei said strange words, and there was an overly uneasy atmosphere in the air, of course she couldn't ignore it. But there will always be a day when you need to face it head-on. She tried to take a deep breath, then smiled sweetly, her eyes full of sparkling light.
She thanked Qi Tianqiao: "Actually, I'm not angry with you, Jun and Big Brother have his own plans, he has the ability, and he will always save the day." As for me, I've got to grow up. There are many things that you will need to face by yourself one day. ”
"But ......" Tianqiao was still a little uneasy, "If you have trouble, write to me...... Like you once helped me......"
She smiled and shook her head, "I'm sorry, big man. I know what you want, but for now, maybe I have a lot of things to do...... If there is really anything wrong with my brother, my brother and sister-in-law have never been involved in the rivers and lakes, and Yunyi is still young. There are always people in the Chu family who need to carry the burden, just like back then, when my brother started to take charge at the age of fourteen, and I was almost nineteen years old. Maybe we haven't seen each other for a long time. Don't remember me. ”
The words fell, and the peach-like figure had already fluttered down the mountain.
He reached out and grabbed the sleeve, but it was just a plop.
So Tian Qiao stared in that direction in a daze, until she disappeared for a long time, until her eyes were pierced by the sun, and she was reluctant to withdraw her gaze. It's like a dream that never wants to wake up. He didn't know why Heaven had thrown her in front of him suddenly, why he had let her stay in his world, and he insisted on pulling her away.
Suddenly, I remembered Chu Tao's admonition that day, and suddenly the heart in my chest fell heavily, and there was a lot of sour taste. The sourness that he didn't understand was so real at the moment, which made him helpless.
By the long river, the dock of the Qi family is still busy.
In a pavilion next to the pier, Leng Fengyi, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat lazily against the fence. The weather is getting cooler, and my body has been weak. She wrapped herself in a light purple cloak and silently drank hot tea. Cheng Yunhe handed over a thick account book, but she didn't care about it, and pushed it away: "Tian Qiao is in charge, just ask him about everything." ”
"Madame, are you tired?" Yunhe was slightly surprised, not understanding why she had become so dull-hearted.
"I'm just going to sit for a while. She said.
Yunhe retreated silently.
The bells on the other side echoed, ethereal and faint. Feng Yi listened attentively and asked casually, "What's the news?" The new maid stood on her side and replied, "It's a tribute to the dead swordsmen and rangers of the Feather Sword Sect." ”
Leng Fengyi sighed, and suddenly asked again: "Feather Chasing Sword Sect, do you know the Feather Chasing Sword Sect?"
"I know a swordsman, and he said that the Feather Sword Sect has the best leader in the world. ”
In an instant, it seemed that his heart was stinging, and the hand holding the cup trembled. I couldn't help but tear my eyes.
The maid knew that she was speechless and apologized in a low voice.
But she tried to calm down, and the tears finally did not fall. She smiled again and said, "People on the North Shore don't say that. ”
"No, he said, many people say that. He also said that the rangers are not divided into north and south, only the Qin family and the Qi family are divided into north and south. ”
Feng Yi raised her head in surprise before carefully looking at the girl's face. She is very innocent, sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful dreams on her face. Follow her gaze and look deeper, as if there is still a young self living there. The green skirt and the golden hairpin, but they prefer to gallop on horses.
"Chu ......" she meditated, meditated, looking for the memories of the year. As if in the depths of his memory, he still stared at her with a smile, and then turned around silently, leaving her with a purple back, dashing, far away in the breeze. Back then, she thought that if her love was weak, she would forget. However, it seems that Chu Tao and she have miscalculated. Some regrets, once planted, finally cracked into irreparable scars, even if they want to remedy it, but in exchange for a deeper sense of tearing, penetrating the heart and bones.
"You like him?"
The girl's face flew up with two sweet clouds.
"As you think for yourself. She said, "Don't care about anything else. There's nothing better in this world than meeting a couple who care about each other. It was as if he were saying this to the maid, and as if he were saying it to himself.
