Chapter 403: Her Name
The silver waves slapped the sandy shore, and the cold moonlight was painted into a soft scroll, frozen on the night when the bright moon was tide. Under the stars, Ye Taoling snuggled in Bai Shu's arms, leveraging the temperature of the bonfire in front of her to resist the biting cold wind by the sea.
The two dug a shallow sand pit, leaned on it, looked up at the colorful stars above the nine heavens, surrounded by only the whistling sound of wind and endless tides, setting off the gentle and gentle breathing of the two. There seemed to have never been such quiet in the world, there was no hustle and bustle of the world, nor did others say anything or pointing fingers. There was only Bai Shu and Ye Taoling in the whole world, two people who fell to the sea and died in the eyes of the world.
During this period, Ye Taoling was worried about the safety of the sect leader and wanted to return to the Sword Sect several times in the night, but Bai Shu stopped him. The two of them didn't know how long they had been drifting in the East China Sea. The life and death of the sect leader should have been settled by now. Even if they rushed back, it would be meaningless. It would be better to let Ye Taoling be here and take care of his injuries first.
Ye Taoling couldn't resist Bai Shu, so she simply gave up struggling, squinted her eyes lazily, and counted the shiny stars in the sky. Ye Taoling was looking at the starlight, Bai Shu turned her head to look at Ye Taoling, and the moonlight fell on Ye Taoling's white and flawless cheeks, and every detail on her face was clearly visible. Her slender eyelashes were trembling slightly, and there were still tears on her cheeks that were not dry. Her long hair was scattered, and she looked particularly weak at this moment.
Bai Shu moved his body in the sand nest, pulled out the hairpin that Ye Taoling gave him from his arms, and said softly: "That star falls in the East China Sea. Even if you give it back to me, you will give it back to you now."
Ye Taoling stared at Bai Shu in a daze with her eyes, but without saying a word, she felt a different emotion in her heart. The whole winter was filled with the smell of farewell, but it seemed that it was difficult to break with one knife.
Bai Shu didn't say anything more, and hugged Ye Taoling's shoulders, trembling hands to tie up his long scattered hair for Ye Taolingzhen, and that little bit of blue appeared behind Ye Taoling's head again. I wonder if it was Bai Shu's illusion at this moment, Ye Taoling's weakness suddenly decreased a little, the tears were dry, and the eyes were also cold.
Bai Shu looked at the exquisite peach master Dongluo in front of him, and finally nodded with satisfaction, praising: "Look, this is what you should have been!"
Ye Taoling still didn't say anything. She sat up from the sand nest. In an instant, the cold sea breeze blew extinguished her delicate body, and the ribs pierced by arrows began to slowly seep out again. Ye Taoling sat by the campfire, holding her knees, her feet together, her toes raised slightly, and her eyes fell on the fire, and a brilliant light was reflected in her eyes. Is it also a star in the sky?
She stretched out a hand and added fire to the fire silently. She was not uncomfortable in the cold wind, just like she was blowing the sea breeze on the cliff countless times. She was as calm and as gorgeous as ever. Her slender and fair neck was like a proud swan, facing the sea, but she didn't want to look back at anything.
Bai Shu wanted to take her back into his arms, but his body seemed to be frozen. Ye Taoling saved Bai Shu's life more than once. From the initial carriage to the Taixu Temple stopping Xue Dongyi, or today he was desperate to block the arrows for himself.
Some people say that the depth of the relationship depends on the things the two people have experienced together and the common memories they have. Bai Shu and Ye Taoling once had too many, and they were almost inseparable from each other for a year. And when Bai Shu thought of Dong Se, those memories were so ethereal and distant, and so fragile.
Perhaps Bai Shu had already fallen in love with someone else, but he was unwilling to admit it. He let down two women who loved him deeply at the same time.
Under the faint light of fire, Ye Taoling only left Bai Shu with a dim back. If the two of them snuggled up to watch the stars in the sand nest just now, it was the most romantic thing in the world, then Ye Taoling and Bai Shu were apart at this moment, but their eyes were out of reach, but they seemed to be the farthest distance in the world.
It's hard to distinguish and out of reach.
Ye Taoling threw a piece of wood into the bonfire, splashing meteor-like sparks, fleeting, but it left Bai Shu with an indelible sense of picture. He felt that even decades or even a hundred years later, he would clearly remember this night, Ye Taoling's lonely and desperate back, and this lonely and deserted beach.
Maybe he should still remember his hypocrisy and affection!
"I know my sister's whereabouts!" Ye Taoling suddenly spoke, his voice was blown away by the sea breeze, and it seemed a little blurred when it fell into Bai Shu's ears.
Bai Shu looked at Ye Taoling's back in disbelief, and asked uncertainly for a while: "Did Zhao Qingmo tell you?"
Ye Taoling was silent, and after a long time he spoke, "He didn't say anything at the beginning, begged me not to kill him..."
Ye Taoling wanted to speak but stopped, as if she was going to say something next, which was a bit difficult for her.
The sea breeze kept blowing, and the flames in the bonfire ran around, beautiful and short-lived.
Ye Taoling turned his back to Bai Shu and finally said, "I don't want to be controlled by others like I did ten years ago."
Ye Taoling nodded slightly, and the blue hairpin behind his head was also shaking slightly, shining against the moonlight.
"So I cut off his hands and feet, cut off his nose and ears, and dug out his eyes." When Ye Taoling said this, there was no emotional fluctuation. She spoke calmly and calmly, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
At this moment, she didn't care what Bai Shu thought of her, but just continued: "He finally told me about Hongluan's whereabouts, just asking me to give him some fun."
Ye Taoling lowered her head and turned her face to the darkness away from the bonfire. She said lightly: "But I didn't give him any pleasure. I just looked at him silently by his side, shedding the last drop of blood in her body." Ye Taoling said, remembering the winter when the man was eating people, and the city gate in Dingcheng that could not be pried open even with his fingernails.
She didn't have any pleasure after revenge in her heart, and she didn't know what else she could feel.
Bai Shu looked at Ye Taoling's vague back, and felt that she was getting farther and farther away from him. He had never felt that Ye Taoling had been so strange. This feeling made Bai Shu cold from the bottom of his heart to his heels. He could not imagine Ye Taoling looking at Zhao Qingmo with that cold-blooded look.
"Why are you not talking?" Ye Taoling suddenly turned around and looked at Bai Shu. Her face was in the shadow cast by the fire, making it difficult for Bai Shu to tell.
She suddenly became aggressive and her emotions gradually became excited: "Has it been because you have always been supporting me for revenge, you have helped me with advice, and asked me for that sword?"
Ye Taoling smiled coldly: "Can I take revenge now? Aren't you happy for me? You really should look at your expression. Do you think my method of killing Zhao Qingmo is too despicable?"
Bai Shu was speechless when Ye Taoling asked, and the feeling of strangeness became stronger and stronger. The cold wind came from all directions, blew up Bai Shu's long hair. Bai Shu took out a piece of yellow talisman paper from his arms and slowly tied his hair. He didn't remember the last time he tied his meticulous temples.
Perhaps it was the time when I followed Taixu Temple to learn Taoism with Ye Taoling.
Bai Shu said to Ye Taoling: "I feel deeply regretful of what happened to you... But no matter what, it's all over, right?"
Ye Taoling thought Bai Shu would scold her, and she had fantasized that Bai Shu would comfort her, but she didn't expect that Bai Shu would just gently lift the page with a low voice without any trace. She loosened her tight fist and the fire burning in her chest also dissipated. She no longer had to worry about her concerns about what she did and the torture of conscience.
She didn't care about anyone's opinion, and she didn't want to care about Bai Shu's opinion, but when she saw Bai Shu's face and the inexplicable expression in Bai Shu's eyes, she began to care about these things. Fortunately, he immediately followed him and saw the distress and pity in Bai Shu's eyes, which was definitely not the look of looking at an executioner.
There were many other things in his eyes, especially friendship. There seemed to be no big difference between the two of them. For the sake of the person who cared, it didn't matter even if they became demons on the ground.
Seeing Ye Taoling silent, Bai Shu asked, "Where is Hongluan, now?"
Ye Taoling finally relaxed completely, leaving Bai Shu with a beautiful side face against the backdrop of the fire. She smiled bitterly: "Hongluan was sold to Fengjia City, Huaguo, and to an old couple, but not long after, the couple died of illness. She was adopted by you Taixuguan people. "
Ye Taoling looked at Bai Shu with her watery eyes and said word by word: "The person who adopted her gave her a name, Zhiyuan!"
After Ye Taoling finished speaking, the entire coast was silent. Bai Shu widened his eyes in surprise. He had also thought about Ye Taoling's sister, where would be in the uncertain life and death, but he never expected that the person Ye Taoling was pursuing was by his side, and he was the closest person he was.
The little girl who was sobbing in Mochou Lake after the heavy rain was picked up by Bai Shu, the little guy who jumped and chased her, begging her to spend more time with her, the little kite who was sleeping soundly in the past and the peach blossoms fell on her pillow, turned out to be Ye Taoling's real sister.
Bai Shu never thought that there would be something like "I searched for a place without any effort in getting it". He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Ye Taoling. The two of them met under the stars. Bai Shu asked in disbelief: "So her real name is..."
