Chapter 408 Night Park
Bai Shu was in Lanxi for a few days, but there was no trace left by Dong Se. She seemed to appear in the snowy road in the temple out of thin air, leaving a line of deep and shallow footprints in Bai Shu's heart, and then disappeared out of thin air, scattering like clouds.
Bai Shu knew that Dong Se was powerful, and the cynical little princess in the Demon Sect in the past, if she was determined to avoid Bai Shu, she would be futile if Bai Shu tried every possible way. It would be better to ask Lu Jingxiu to divine a divination for herself, or go to an undesolate ancient temple and Taoist temple, ask for a stick of incense, and pray to the Buddha and God.
At that moment, Bai Shu bought incense, candles and paper money in Lanxi, and walked around to the snow forest when his parents first met. There was no trace of people around the snow forest, and there was a silence everywhere, with only occasional rustling of snow-covered pine leaves.
The cold pool in the deep forest was surrounded by snow and stars in the center, with a trace of cold air as smoke, condensed but not dissipated. Before Bai Shu got closer, he stood far away. He couldn't help feeling sad. Thinking that the cold pool in the deep forest was isolated from the world, he couldn't bear to disturb him, and more of the intimidating feelings that were about to face Ling Wen's childhood.
Since ancient times, loyal bones are buried in green mountains, and poor snow forests are buried in beautiful beauty. Only this is the only place in this world that is worthy of Ling Wen'er's jade bones and her pure and pure heart.
Bai Shu waded deep snow above his knees and came to the cold pond. The temperature here was much lower, but Bai Shu's body protection power had already soaked his limbs and bones, so he didn't feel cold. Bai Shu stood beside Tan staring for a while, and saw Tan Bo as a mirror, clean and elegant. Seeing this scene, Bai Shu's mood gradually stabilized. Then he silently put out various sacrifices, lit incense and candles, burned paper money, and looked at the fire, as if he was worried, and was ecstatic for a long time.
"Unfilial son Bai Shu, come to see you." As the fire swayed, Bai Shu knelt heavily on Tan's side.
This was the first time Bai Shu had come back to pay tribute to Ling Wen'er after seeing off Ling Wen'er. After Bai Fangyun died, there was still a spiritual position to receive the incense from the Bai family and Taixu. After Ling Wen'er went there, it was like ripples dispersed, and no trace could be left. Bai Shu didn't think about shaping a monument for Ling Wen'er, nor did he think about coming back to see her earlier. However, when a fairy-like figure came like a spring dream, he should be like looking for a cloud. Bai Shu didn't want to be bound by common etiquette.
But he never came to visit her because Bai Shu was busy for several days and really couldn't get out of it. He originally thought that he would come to Lanxi to pick up Dong Se, and the two of them came to Hantan to worship together, and asked his mother to see his daughter-in-law who had not passed by. Who would have thought that this visit had been delayed for so long, and that when he came to visit her, he was still alone.
Bai Shu knelt in the snow, feeling his knees numb and unconscious. Looking at the paper money Yinbao that had scattered into smoke in front of him, thinking of his wandering over the past two years, Bai Shu was in a state of emotion and tears said, "Don't worry, my child has been doing well recently. I have walked the path you have walked back then. I met Uncle Miao Li, and also met the Spectator and the Sect Master..."
"You don't know how much we miss you! How much I miss you!" Bai Shu said this, and his love was also true. Two lines of clear tears fell on the white snow, burning into spots.
The scene of Bai Shu and Ling Wen'er being together day and night seems to appear before you. Bai Shu never cried in front of her before her death, but this does not mean that Bai Shu does not have the weakness of ordinary people in his personality. His weakness can be exposed to enemies, friends and lovers, but Ling Wen'er has never known it.
At this moment, the two of them are separated forever, so it would be fine if they asked her to know.
After Bai Shu cried for a moment, he picked up some important things in the past two years and hid the dangers. Ling Wen'er said it again. Finally, Bai Shu added: "I want you to know that I no longer hate him!"
On the waterway at the junction of Yanluo, there is an inconspicuous willow leaf raft, and under the snow puff are the boatman and the boat passengers.
It was getting late, and the clouds were pressing down very low in the evening sky, as if rain and snow were brewing.
The passenger wore a wide hat, covering his face, huddled his hands in his sleeves, leaning against the tent, and said to the boatman: "Old sir, I will pay to pack your boat, let's set off immediately, don't wait until the weather gets worse, and the waterway is difficult to move."
The boatman looked deep in the road on the shore from afar and said calmly: "You don't know anything. My boat only took a trip every three days. From here, I walked into Dongluo. I only waited for a while, and maybe there would be another guest boarding the boat."
The boatman smiled simplely and said, "It's not that the old man wants to do more business with this boat passenger, but he just doesn't want anyone to rush to get on the road, but he can't find the boat."
What else did the passenger on the boat want to say? It can be seen that the boatman's simple face was swallowed into his stomach.
At the beginning of night, the boatman untied the ropes of the stern, called the passengers and was about to sail. Before the boatman left the shore, the boatman saw a person stumbled out of the snow forest in the distance. The man was wearing a blue-gray Taoist robe that was mostly wet. The ink hair behind his head was tied up with yellow talisman paper, and the Taoist rhyme was penetrated, but it was hard to hide his loneliness. It was Bai Shu who was about to go home to see after worshiping Ling Wen'er.
The boatman moored the boat and led Bai Shu onto the boat to sit. After entering the cabin, Bai Shu looked at him slightly and saw a thin boy with a hat locked in the corner of the wall. Bai Shu had no interest in talking, and only paid the boat fare, leaning on the cabin without saying a word, lowering his head to think about his thoughts.
The passenger was dull, but the boatman had a lively personality. While he was struggling on the boat, he started talking to Bai Shu and asked, "What are you doing this trip? Are you going to visit your relatives in your hometown?"
Bai Shu smiled miserably and said bluntly: "I am the only one left in the family, and there are no relatives in the world."
When the boatman heard this, he smiled heartily and said, "I am not close to you, but I don't feel bored when I sail on this water, with mountains, rivers and rivers?"
Bai Shu subconsciously looked up at the Chuanjia, and saw that the Chuanjia had gray hair and clouded eyebrows, and he supported the long artemisia with both hands on the bow of the boat. There was a faint smile on his cheeks, without any sign of hardship and bitterness.
This made Bai Shu think of what his predecessors said. He felt very comforted and said to the boatman: "Fishers and woodcutters in Jiangzhu, fish, shrimps and elks are also happy in life, but the old man can see it openly."
Upon hearing this, the boatman turned his head and looked at Bai Shu, and smiled warmly, "What the boy said is very true. Please regard this journey as a journey in life. If you have a glass of wine as a companion, it will be even better."
Bai Shu's heart was slightly shrouded in the haze, but he didn't expect that he could meet such a free and easy old man after walking a while. However, his life state and pattern were too narrow.
Bai Shu talked with the boatman all the way. Although the boatman is not a master of his time, he is better than his experience. After talking to the two, there was no gap between them and they chatted and laughed.
In the blink of an eye, the waterway had passed halfway through, and midnight, the boatman moored the boat on the shore, and everyone took this opportunity to take a break. The waterway was covered with shadows, and cries of crows and insects were heard from time to time. The night was deep, the frost was thick, the sky was gloomy, and there were only a few fishing fires on the entire waterway.
Against the backdrop of the chirping of insects, it makes people feel quieter.
Bai Shu was sleepless. Looking at the scenery in front of her, she thought of the words "The moon sets, the crows cry and the frost is everywhere in the sky". Isn't it exactly "The fishing fire in the river maple faces the sorrow of sorrow"?
Bai Shu smiled bitterly while feeling the pure breath of heaven and earth at this moment. At this moment, the young man who had been huddling in the corner of the cabin suddenly coughed a few times. His voice was dry and hoarse, as if he was a till old man.
It was only then that Bai Shu noticed that the thin boy had been coughing, but he covered his mouth and blocked the coughing sound in his throat. At this time, maybe he was coughing so hard that he couldn't help it.
Seeing this scene, Bai Shu felt a little reluctant, so he secretly drew a water talisman, using spiritual energy to support one into two, condensed into ice below, and the water above fell into an ice cup.
Bai Shu already has the strength to fast, like Luo Shilan. Even if he goes far away, he will not prepare water tools. At this moment, Bai Shu looked at the ice cup in his hand and the clear water swaying inside, and subconsciously thought of the scene when he and Dong Se were trapped in the snow cave that year.
At that time, Bai Shu was just an unknown little character and had no extraordinary skills. The two of them had no water at that time, and could only survive like snow and water.
Bai Shu took out all the hardships in the past and chewed them carefully at this moment, but tasted a hint of sweetness. These are precious memories of the two people, memories that cannot be erased in their lifetime.
"If life was really like the first meeting..." Bai Shu lowered his head and muttered. The boy seemed to hear Bai Shu's voice, and he glanced at Bai Shu with his hat on the brim.
Bai Shu didn't notice the boy's movements, but just sighed, and handed the water cup in his hand. He gently said to the boy: "Little brother, just cough if you want to cough. Don't worry, we will hold it all the time, let's drink some water to moisten your throat."
Bai Shu's gentle and concerned look at this moment, just like he once treated Xiao Yurou. If the person who coughed today was a woman, Bai Shu would not have any more concern.
The boy hesitated for a moment and took the ice cup. When he reached out, Bai Shu saw his snow-white wrists and jade-like fingers.
When the jade finger touched the ice cup, he couldn't feel the coldness of the ice cup. Instead, he shook his fingers sideways across Bai Shu's fingertips and shivered easily.
In an instant, Bai Shu felt the boy's fingers cold, as if they were like an ice cup.
"Thank you." The boy thanked him in his voice, his voice was low and hoarse, but it felt a little familiar in Bai Shu's ears.
Bai Shu couldn't remember what he was familiar with for a moment, so he asked, "Brother, where are you from? What are you going to do this trip?"
The boy shook his head slightly, and his wide hat swayed around, but he refused to say a word.
Bai Shu was just surprised when he saw the boy's wide hat falling suddenly in the evening breeze as he shook his head. Bai Shu reached out to pick up his hat, and the boy also rushed to grab the hat.
The hands of the two people were touched together, the boy's hands were cold and the white and relaxed hands were as warm as spring.
The two of them immediately met. When Bai Shu saw the man's face clearly, she couldn't help but be completely stunned. She seemed to have lost her soul, and her mouth grew up in disbelief and called out the man's name after a while.
"Dong Se?"
