Faced with my persistent questioning, Tang Jingyue turned a deaf ear.
She leaned comfortably on the sofa, raised her slender legs, and motioned for me to continue kneading: "I went to Kunlun when I was seven. It wasn't until the winter when I was eleven that my parents remembered that I had such a cheap daughter.
, the two of them went together to visit."
"I met them once, and they felt so strange that I had nothing to say."
"They treated me even more like this. They held my three-year-old brother in their arms and their thoughts were not on me at all."
"After sitting there for half an hour, they left and told me to listen to my master in Kunlun Mountain and not to be kicked out."
"I understand what they mean. They are afraid that I, a money-losing medicine jar, will come down the mountain and bring bad luck to my family."
"I stood on the stairs and watched them leave, without any reluctance or missing me. But I never thought that on the way back, they would take a shortcut and fall into the valley, and their bodies would be gone. They would also die together with the younger brother I met for the first time.
"
"Master said that destiny cannot be violated. It is their destiny, and it is also my destiny."
"I am destined to be lonely and helpless in this life."
Tang Jingyue slowly closed her eyes and murmured softly as if she was dreaming: "After my parents died, I thought that I had broken away from the Tang family and devoted myself to practicing Kunlun magic with my master."
"Just like that, three years passed in the blink of an eye, and I was fourteen years old."
"In the late summer of that year, my uncle came to Kunlun to visit me. Seven years later, even though he had changed a lot, I still recognized him at a glance."
"My heart jumped for joy uncontrollably and ran towards him like a butterfly."
"He rubbed my head and said that I had grown taller and more beautiful, and that I was no longer the sickly person I used to be."
"I burst into tears and asked my uncle why he didn't come to see me after all these years."
"My uncle said that Kunlun is too far away. He saved money for a long time to get enough for the trip."
Tang Jingyue smiled knowingly when she said this, and said with indescribable nostalgia and sweetness: "My uncle had just graduated from college at that time and was still in the internship period. His salary was not high. Half of it was kept as living expenses, and the other half had to be sent home to grandpa.
So it’s not easy to save money and spend a trip to Kunlun Mountains.”
"He is very good-looking, just like you, fair and tall, and his teeth are very white when he smiles."
"I took him around the nine peaks of Kunlun and told him about the pain and loneliness of the past seven years."
"I speak and he listens."
"I kept chattering, and he listened quietly and smiled without saying a word. When he looked at me, he looked at me as dotingly as he did when he was a child."
"Half a month later, I personally sent my uncle to the foot of Kunlun Mountain. He told me that he would come to Kunlun Mountain to visit me every June in the future."
"This is an agreement I made with my uncle, and he has always abided by this agreement."
"I have expectations in my heart, my personality gradually becomes more lively, and I become more diligent and diligent in my practice."
"Because the master promised me that as long as I set foot on the Xuanling Master, he would let me travel down the mountain."
I squatted on the ground and my legs were numb. I simply found a pillow to sit under my butt and asked, "What happened next? When did you go down the mountain?"
Tang Jingyue said with a smile: "Twenty-three years old."
"When I came down from the mountain at the age of twenty-three, the first thing I did was to go to Dongchen City to find my uncle."
I wondered: "Your brother-in-law is eight years older than you, which is thirty-one years old. Didn't he have a family at that time?"
Tang Jingyue said frankly: "Divorced."
"It's because they have different personalities and are difficult to get along with."
"Just because my uncle got divorced, he and I..."
"Yes, I fell in love with my uncle. From the ignorance and dependence when I was a child, to the overjoyed reunion when he went to Kunlun Mountain to visit me."
"When I wait for it once a year, it really feels like a year."
"I have forgotten that he is my blood-related brother-in-law, my biological uncle."
