Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 146 The bad cat who loves to bite people
"There is no need to look for him anymore, Kuang Huaixu, unless you want your mother to die in front of you!"

Princess Zhaoyin suddenly yelled, Yue Wujiu turned pale with fright: "No!"

The sun went down completely, and the last trace of warmth dissipated on the pagoda. Shi Xuanling looked at the tear-stained Princess Zhaoyin, as if she felt the same, and touched the great sadness and pain in her heart.

"A Yue, you listen to your mother, do you know? Although you don't come to your mother's dreams very often, your mother will always dream of your father. Sometimes it is his unrestrained appearance when he was young, and sometimes it is him who became the father. Lord Yue, conquering all directions, with a heroic and heroic figure...but no matter what time he was, his mother couldn't catch him in her dreams. His body was like a cloud of fog, and he couldn't be seen clearly, and he couldn't be relied on. Nearly, leaving only my mother to search hard in her dream, heartbroken..."

Lan Yubai once went to the pagoda with Ning Jiu Niang. He gave Princess Zhaoyin a spice called 'Ruyan' and asked Princess Zhaoyin to burn incense before going to bed to help her sleep. After Princess Zhaoyin used it, Sure enough, I was able to fall asleep deeply, fall into dreamland, and see the shadow of Lord Yue again and again.

But how could Princess Zhaoyin know that when she fell into a dream every night, the vitality in her body was being sucked out bit by bit. Soon, she might be able to reunite with the Marquis of Yue in her dream, and they would never be together again. separated...

Like smoke, the past is like smoke and cannot be traced. If you have to hold on to those empty old dreams of the past and indulge in them, you will eventually be unable to extricate yourself and never wake up.

What Lan Yubai wants is for Princess Zhaoyin to fall into the smoke of the past without anyone noticing, and to die completely in the dream and illusion he weaved for her.

"I searched hard in my dream, hoping to keep him for just one glance, but I couldn't even hold his hand in my dream, let alone in this desperate reality..."

There is no pain in the world more than when one lives and the other dies, and heaven and man are separated forever, never to see each other again. Princess Zhaoyin couldn't help but burst into tears again when she mentioned her "dead husband". She looked at Yue Wujiu and said:

"Ah Yue, do you understand? Now you are holding tightly in your hands what your mother can no longer do. You are luckier than your mother. Let go of your obsession."

"With mountains and rivers in front of you, it's better to cherish the people in front of you. The road you want to take is too tiring and full of thorns. If you continue to walk, it will only make you bruised and doomed. Now you are the only one left. Don't do it. Stupid thing, live well."

Princess Zhaoyin raised her hand and slowly wiped away the tears that fell from the corners of her eyes. She took a deep breath, straightened her thin back, and her pale face showed the majesty and demeanor of the Kuang royal family, making it hard to look at her Say the word "no".

"Remember what mother said to you today, Ayue my son, after New Year's Eve, you should take your wife back to Yunzhou Island, and never set foot in the imperial city again."

"Mother, I..."

Yue Wujiu's throat moved, and he wanted to say something, but in the end he just lifted up his clothes and knelt on the ground, and finally kowtowed heavily to Princess Zhaoyin several times.

"On New Year's Eve, the unfilial son will bring his wife to this pagoda to visit his mother and celebrate the new year with his mother."

A crescent moon slowly climbed up the pagoda. Shi Xuanling said his final farewell to Princess Zhaoyin, but she looked back three times, reluctant and unable to bear it.

Sitting under the Buddha statue, Princess Zhaoyin only nodded slightly to her, smiling with tears in her eyes. At that moment, there seemed to be countless golden lotuses blooming under the Buddha statue, which was a farewell and a blessing.

The night wind on the tower was biting and lonely, making Wujiu's long hair fly. When he came, he was full of joy, but when he left, he was devastated. He was at a loss between heaven and earth, not knowing the direction or the way forward.

He staggered like a walking corpse. Just when he was about to fall, a soft and slender hand held him tightly. The sound of bells rang in his ears, and a warm feeling followed him. Drive away this boundless coldness.

He leaned weakly towards her, his head fell and was buried in her neck.

"Ah Yue, take a rest when you're tired. It doesn't matter. I'll be here with you, okay?"

The girl's two hands hugged him tightly, and he closed his eyes without saying a word, but she smiled, inserted her long fingers into his hair, combed it with her hands, and gently smoothed it for him. With black hair.

The two hearts just pressed against each other under the moon, feeling each other's heartbeat, no one spoke, time seemed to stand still, until Yue Wujiu let out an inaudible sigh suddenly, Shi Xuanling asked softly road:
"Ayue, what are you thinking about?"

"I don't know. The road ahead seems to be very foggy and I can't see clearly. I don't know which way to go. Should I continue to raise my sword or listen to my mother..."

The young man who had always been heroic and courageous seemed to be in the middle of nowhere for the first time, looking up in all directions but unable to find a clear path.

He was so confused and chaotic. Every word his mother said echoed in his heart. He seemed to be trapped in an invisible cage. Just when he was thinking about how to get out, a clear bell sounded. Pulled back his wandering soul again.

Under the moonlight, the girl held his face and stared at him with her clear brown eyes, which miraculously soothed his restless heart.

She said: "A Yue, do you still remember the long rainbow sun that I told you? After the rain, everything will be fine. The long rainbow sun in your life will definitely appear one day , no matter what decision you make, whether you raise your sword or put it down, I will be by your side and walk with you..."

Yue Wujiu's breath trembled slightly, and he stared at the clear and graceful face in front of him for a long time. His eyes gradually darkened, and just when he was about to approach her lips, she suddenly opened her arms and took two steps back, and her flying long hair brushed his fingers. tip--

"The road is at your feet. You can go wherever you want. Look, I can take two steps this way. It's also okay to step back and go to the right. Just like the night wind blowing through this pagoda, nothing can Tie me down, life is short, follow your heart, don’t look for trouble, look back, it doesn’t matter if it’s sunny or rainy, the ship has already sailed through thousands of waves, everything is no big deal, right?”

The moonlight stretched the girl's shadow very long. Her clothes were fluttering, and she stood in the night wind with a small smile. Her aura was overflowing, like a fairy painting that was dyed with the light of moonlight and shimmered.

At this moment, Yue Wujiu felt as if he had walked through a narrow stone gap and suddenly understood. He looked at Shi Xuanling under the moon, as if he had a new understanding of his "little wife".

She is really like the unfettered breeze in the mountains. She seems to be ignorant of worldly affairs, but she is experienced in worldly affairs. She has a natural and open-minded mind that is not as clear as this ordinary person.Yue Wujiu's heart suddenly beat violently. He looked at the Moon Fairy in front of him. She was standing in the wind with her arms spread out, her long hair flying. As if he was bewitched, he couldn't help but walk towards her.

The bell swayed, and a handsome young face was reflected in the brown pupils. Shi Xuanling was feeling the comfort of the night breeze, unaware of the emotion in the young man's eyes. She was smiling and was about to take steps, like When I was a child, I was like playing in the mountains of Qingli, stepping on my own shadow.

But she didn't expect that her wrist was suddenly grabbed. She turned around, and before she could react, she was pulled into the boy's arms. As the world was spinning, he put his arm around her waist and moved towards her lips. , she subconsciously exclaimed:

"Ah, you little bad cat is going to bite me again. It will hurt me. Please be gentle..."

But the last few words could no longer be said because she had been "bitten" on her lips by him and could not break free.

The young man marched straight in, tossing and turning, and the bell shook more and more violently, and Shi Xuanling could hardly breathe.

Under the moonlight, the warm breath intertwined. After an unknown amount of time, Yue Wujiu let go of his hand without any hesitation, but Shi Xuanling was already out of breath.

Her lips were glistening, shining brightly under the moonlight, making people's heart itchy to see, Yue Wugui's eyes were dark, but he held his breath, and asked in a hoarse voice:
"Does it hurt?"

Shi Xuanling was still a little dizzy, her long eyelashes like crow feathers drooped slightly, and she said confusedly: "It seems, it doesn't hurt like the first time... It's just numb and numb. I can't tell what it feels like."

Her cheeks were dyed thin red, her eyes were misty, Yue Wujiu let out a low laugh, he leaned against her forehead and murmured:
"It doesn't hurt for a kitten to bite, I said, I'm a good student, nothing can stop me..."

He held her waist with one hand, rubbed her lips with the other hand, lowered his voice, and approached her a little bit like coaxing and deceiving:
"Even if no one has taught me, I can still be 'self-taught.' If you don't believe it, how many more times will you try again? I guarantee that not only will it not hurt, but it will also be interesting..."

The hoarse boy's voice seemed to be bewitching, making people intoxicated without knowing it. The moonlight swayed, and Shi Xuanling seemed to be led by the boy into a small boat, swinging farther and farther on the lake...

The little bad cat's bite did not hurt anymore, but it made the person's legs weak and his body limp, unable to stand and could only lean on his shoulder.

Under the moonlight, Shi Xuanling leaned in Yue Wujiu's arms, suddenly looked at the horizon and said: "Ah Yue, actually, I also miss my grandma..."

Today she accompanied Yue Wujiu to the pagoda and met his mother, Princess Zhaoyin. The deep love between mother and son touched her heart deeply, but it also made her miss her mother.

Yue Wujiu heard the longing in Shi Xuanling's sigh. He turned his eyes and suddenly thought of something, "Then let's go see her tomorrow, okay?"

"Go, go see her?" Shi Xuanling raised her head and looked at Yue Wujiu with some surprise, "You mean..."

"Is your mother's tomb placed in the Shi family cemetery?" Yue Wujiu looked serious. He held Shi Xuanling's hand and said firmly: "I will accompany you to the tomb tomorrow to pay homage to your mother. Can your mother burn some things and let you talk to her?"

"I, my aunt was indeed buried in the Shi family cemetery, but my father never allowed me to set foot there. The eldest lady said it was against the rules, although I don't know what the rules are. Anyway, every year during Qingming, the rest of the Shi family will I went to the cemetery to worship my ancestors and relatives, but I was locked in the attic and was not allowed to go anywhere..."

Recalling the past, Shi Xuanling felt dazed for a moment. She looked at the bright moon above her head and murmured:

"Only on the day of my aunt's funeral, my father will come to the attic to look for me, but he will not take me to my aunt's grave to pay homage. Instead, he will lead me out of the city to find a lake facing east. Burn some paper money there for my aunt, cut off a strand of my hair, put it in the lake and float away, saying that it will go to my aunt..."

If the Butterfly people leave, their bodies will be placed on a small boat covered with flowers from head to toe, and they will drift to the bottom of the valley with the river, and their souls will return to the mountains.

"My father said that he knew the customs of the butterfly tribe, so he asked me to worship my grandma in this way. He said that my grandma would receive my thoughts, but I still regret that I could not go to my grandma's grave to worship in person. , every year on the night before her memorial day, I would huddle under the quilt and cry secretly..."

"Especially during the first two years when I came to Shi Mansion, I missed my grandma so much, but I could only go to the lake to worship in the void. I watched the running water take away a strand of my hair, and quietly told my grandma in my heart that I I have grown taller again, and I have read many of the medical books she left behind. The nectar candy I make is getting sweeter and sweeter. Although no one in the Shi family likes to eat it, I like it very much. I want to She would eat one when she was young, and it would taste sweet in her mouth, just like the candy she used to make for me..."

"I still have a lot of things I want to say to my grandma, but I don't even have the qualifications to step into the Shi family cemetery and pay homage to her grave..."

During those deserted memorial days, a little girl who lost her mother could only cry silently to the lake. While missing her, it also deepened her desire to return to Qingli Mountain and return to her tribe.

Just because she stayed in Shi Mansion, she was just a lonely shadow trapped in the attic. She seemed to have recognized her ancestors and had a family, but instead she was alone, becoming the loneliest wandering soul in the world. She didn't even see her again. She doesn't even have the qualifications to be a mother.

"Why, why did the Shi family treat you like this?"

Yue Wujiu gritted his teeth and said bitterly under the moonlight. He held Shi Xuanling's hand tightly. After hearing her childhood experiences, he felt distressed and angry at the same time. He said without even thinking:
"What nonsense rules, the Shi family won't let you into the cemetery, I'll take you there, we'll go to your mother's grave to worship her tomorrow, and tell her everything you've wanted to say to her these years!"

"Let her know that you are no longer alone now. You have a husband, a close friend, and a new home. No one can bully you anymore. The nectar you make is loved by others. Your life in this world is not pitiful. The Shi family didn't trap you, you are still the happy little bell in Qingli Mountain, the most free wind passing through the sea..."

The young man's emotional words echoed under the moonlight, and struck hard on Shi Xuanling's heart. Her eyes were filled with mist, and her handsome face reflected in her brown pupils. He held her hand tightly and raised his eyebrows. The corners of her lips curled up, her tone was so firm, but also so gentle:
"You have also learned many skills and saved many people. You are stronger than anyone in the Shi family. I will tell your mother that her little bell has grown up and has become the best girl in the world. Who can marry her?" She is truly a blessing that has been cultivated in ten lifetimes!"

"And by chance, this blessing came to me."
