The bonfire was blazing, and all of us were sitting in silence under a leeward hillside.
There was no rush to rush to the Great Demon's Tomb to collect any demon souls, because after Ru Yue's sad emotions were vented, Ru Xue said this: "Chengyi, your master has already tampered with the remnant souls." , others will either destroy it, or they won’t be able to take it away. Now that things have happened, maybe there are capable people who have seen the problem, and are waiting for you to collect the demon soul, and then fight again in front of the immortal’s tomb."
I didn’t understand why Ruxue knew so much from beginning to end. At that time, I didn’t have any mood to ask Ruxue anything. Since she said so, we didn’t rush on our way. We just waited until dark and looked for Set up camp somewhere.
Because of such a sudden change, everyone was silent on the road. Although Xiaoxi and Xiaomao didn't know what happened, they followed obediently and silently. Bai Huier fell at the end, and naturally it didn't make any noise.
This atmosphere was too uncomfortable. Everyone was doing things in silence, rushing, setting up camp, making fires, Lao Zhang was looking for food, and even Qinhuai and Wu Laogui had roughly figured out what Ruxue might be leaving. Normally 'lively', Qinhuai just likes to pat me on the shoulder intentionally or unintentionally and give me some comfort, while Old Ghost Wu looks at me pitifully from time to time.
Am I worthy of pity
At this moment, food is roasting on the bonfire, and the attentive Lao Zhang does not forget to stew a pot of soup every time to warm us up, but the silent atmosphere has continued until now, and only the sound of 'dong-dong-dong' in the soup pot is left. Laughing at such a dull atmosphere.
"Bang bang bang" was the sound of Lao Zhang smoking a pot, and then Lao Zhang's somewhat vicissitudes of voice came to each of our ears: "I have known you not long ago, and I want to be thick-skinned and make friends." , I said that we have been together for a few days and that I have deep feelings for you. I don’t know if you admit it or not? But I will tell you whether you do or not. "
At this point, Lao Zhang took out his wine bag from his arms and took a big sip of wine. I wanted to take it over and take a sip, but I didn’t expect that Lao Zhang, who had been speaking respectfully to us after the fight, glared at me. He glanced at me and said, "I'm so stupid. Why are you drinking at this time? Listen to what I have to say."
I didn't insist, but Lao Zhang sighed and started to say: "I am a person who has been with me for more than 20 years. My wife has been with me for more than 20 years. My son is about to go to college. Life goes on like this. I don't feel any regrets. I am also an ordinary person. I don’t understand what you call separation and harmony among cultivators. But no matter how you say it, there is only one result. Two people who love each other are going to separate. This is different from two ordinary people in the world who want to separate. Difference? Tell me about this world. How many men and women who love each other have to separate and live their own lives in the end? What is life? Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. Who can live without these few things? Let me use an analogy to talk about myself. When I was young, I fell in love with a girl, and I fell in love with her to the core. Even now, when I occasionally have some free time, I still think about her life, how is she doing? What is she like now? Will she still think of me? "
At this point, Lao Zhang also took a sip of wine, and then said: "I am not afraid of your jokes after saying this. That girl finally separated from me. What was the reason? Haha, because I lived on the mountains at that time. , her parents disliked her, so they found someone from the factory. But, look at me now, am I not doing well? Even if I think of her, my wife will soon ask her to buy a bottle of vinegar, and my son will not come back from school. I have gone to the wild, I have to find something like this to interrupt, because thinking of her is not more important than the trivial things in my life now! Do you understand? I think you two are too unrestrained, you know who I am Any ideas?”
Now that Lao Zhang is talking, Ruxue and I are listening to him carefully. Originally, we were not in the mood. We all looked at him and waited for him to give us an answer. The authorities are confused, just like me and Ruxue. No one really gives up in their heart. If this kind of unwillingness remains in the heart, it will eventually become a 'devil'!
"That is, when you two like each other, you just have to really like each other. If the girl wants to leave, yes, she can explain the reasons clearly. If the boy can't stay, yes, be generous and give her a blessing. Let Girl, An Xin, what is there to regret about this? Have any of you failed the other? Tell me, how can you expect everything in this world to be satisfactory? This is strange!! If it is not satisfactory, you will not Live a good life, you have to do some willful things and have trouble with life, this is weird!!" After finishing speaking, Lao Zhang continued to take a sip of wine, and finally whispered: "Relationships are something that only two people like. As long as the person is worthy of the other person, if you fight for it and it doesn’t work out, then let it go! Just like that girl, when I like her, she also likes me and treats me well. What do I have to complain about or hate? Can you still say that this never existed? What a nonsense! What about me, I had to get married at that time, run away with someone, and never see my parents for the rest of my life? That’s not possible, she deserves me, and it will be good for her to marry that person in the future. That’s enough.”
Ruxue and I were silent. Lao Zhang’s words were extremely simple, but also extremely profound. This is the simplest common wisdom of life for ordinary people. At that time, this was the wish Ruxue and I made, to fall in love for half a year. Then we separated, but couldn't separate. Our feelings were still entangled with each other, just because we couldn't see through it and couldn't let it go.
"Okay, I've said what I want to say. Do you two think it's necessary to communicate? It's not snowing now, and there's still a moon. The scenery in this old forest is beautiful. Let's take a walk and talk. Maybe we can relax. It's open." Lao Zhang looked at Ruxue and me.
Ruyue leaned on Ruxue's shoulder, looking at Ruxue reluctantly, Ruxue patted Ruyue's shoulder. Until now, we have never asked how she and Qinhuai came here.
However, now is not the time to ask this.
Ruxue patted Ruyue, and then said: "Yes, I can't escape, at least I have to give Chengyi an explanation."
It was only then that Ruyue realized that I was probably a little more heartbroken than hers. After all, she glanced at me worriedly.
I stood up and said, "Yeah, I'll listen."
--------Dividing line-------
The old forest under the moonlight is just like what Lao Zhang said, it is really beautiful. The moonlight shines on the snow-white trees and the snow-white ground, and lightly touches everything with silver light, twinkling. Like a dream world.
Ruxue and I walked quietly in the forest. The snow on the ground creaked under our footsteps. Bai Huier followed us from a distance, guarding us against wild beasts. There was a quiet beauty in everything.
"At that time, I had a wish in my heart. Do you know what it was?" I spoke, and the long white breath exhaled from my mouth quickly dissipated in the air.
"What is it?" Ruxue asked, and she naturally held my arm, which warmed my heart. Maybe Lao Zhang's words really made Ruxue realize something, just like me.
"Although Yueyan Miao Village is very beautiful, it's such a pity that we always fall in love there. I really want to take you to many places, such as to see the sea, the mountains, or even the worst. Let's take a look at the West Lake." I said as calmly as possible. Although it was impossible for me not to feel distressed right away, I knew what Lao Zhang was saying was reasonable.
"That's good." Ruxue's answer was still simple, but she really thought it was good.
"That's good, but I can only think about it. At that time, we decided to watch a movie every year, Ruxue, I won't lie to you, it was the thing I looked forward to most every year. Son. I am very happy to come to Laolinzi this time, and I feel like I am traveling with you." I said while looking at the moon in the sky.
"I'm so sorry, Chengyi, I can no longer go to the movies with you. I really want to leave. No, not leaving, but staying." Ruxue's voice was full of apology.
Finally, she was going to start telling me.
"Stay? Well, you say." I knew that Ruxue would definitely confess everything tonight, and I was waiting for Ruxue's next words. I always remembered Lao Zhang's words, wishing her well and letting her go with peace of mind.
"Yes, stay, because I want to be the tombkeeper." Ruxue looked at my side face and finally said the answer!
