Xianyu asked

Chapter 42
Chaimen smelled the bark of the dog, and the snowy night returned to others.

Going back to Qingya, it was already the twelfth lunar month, the mountain gate was blocked by heavy snow, and the mountain was vast.

Breathing the cold air that penetrated deep into the lungs, the white-haired girl wore thin clothes and returned home from stepping on the snow in the night.Although it has only been less than half a month since I left, everything in the mountains seems to have changed.

The bamboo forest was crushed by the heavy snow, and the branches were collapsed, and the thick snow buried the trail in the forest.The snow was down to his knees, and his movements were slowed down. He walked one step at a time, and after walking for half a mile, he finally pushed open the gate of the small courtyard.

The snow in the courtyard was even worse, and the front door was blocked, but fortunately, the bamboo house was safe.

Go to the eaves of the corridor, push open the door of the main house, find firewood, and raise the stove. In just a moment, the fire light spreads throughout the house, dispelling a little chill.

Huaying squatted in front of the stove, rubbing her little hands and warming the fire. The light from the fire illuminated her cheeks, and there was a sweet smile on her face.

"It would be great if Senior Sister could come back sooner. In such a cold day, two people can keep warm."

Borrowing the light of the fire, Huaying warmed herself up while recalling her senior sister's bluffing and reckless appearance, and she couldn't help feeling warm in her heart.

She really wanted her senior sister to come back sooner, but it was a pity that her senior sister had to accompany her family. According to the agreement between the two, she would not be back until the next year at the earliest.

In other words, in the next month, maybe she will be the only one on this mountain.

She was used to the noisy senior sisters in the past, but now the mountain has become so peaceful, she is not used to it, she always feels that it is too deserted.

"Tomorrow morning, I will visit Master. After being away for so long, Master must miss me too."

With a plan in mind, Huaying picked up the stove and was about to go back to her room to sleep, but when she passed by the master's room, she couldn't help but pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing the familiar layout in the room, she put down the stove, walked to the bed silently, lifted the curtain, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep with tears.

The next day.

Waking up early in the morning, Huaying opened the door to sweep the snow in front of the door. It took a short while to tidy up the courtyard.Then I cooked some more rice, put it in a bowl, and ran straight to the back mountain.

The snow had stopped and the air in the mountains was unusually fresh.

There is a lot of snow at the master's place, Huaying first swept the snow away with her hands, and then placed the rice bowl and a few fruits in front of the tombstone.

Kneel down respectfully.

"Master, Yinger is back to see you."

An hour later.

After talking a lot to Master and crying a lot, Huaying finally went back.

In the next few days, she would come every day, talking to the master, while quietly waiting for the return of the senior sister, and the days passed like this.

As the new year is approaching, Lijia Village at the foot of the mountain is still in full swing as in previous years. Every household puts up couplets and hangs colorful lanterns, and the sound of firecrackers bursts out, making it very lively.

Huaying hasn't gone down the mountain for a long time, and today she came to Lijia Village to buy some new year's goods, to have a lively and happy New Year's Eve.

Although she is the only one on the mountain now, she can't let it go, can she?In the past, I lived with my master and sister every year. This year is different. I can’t be sloppy when I live alone. I have to buy everything that needs to be bought.

Good food and drink, fun and good-looking clothes, everything is indispensable.

"Two fat."

As soon as she entered the village, Huaying stopped a little friend, ready to ask something.

Although she has grown up in the past few years and has come to the village less frequently, the friends all remember her, especially this one named Er Fatty. When she saw that it was Hua Ying who stopped her, she turned around and ran while running. Also whispered:

"No, I don't have that kind of book at home."

"."

Huaying froze in place, and it took her a long time to laugh out loud, she couldn't help muttering, "Why do you still remember that, I didn't ask you to borrow a book."

This fat man, I'm afraid he won't dare to talk to him face to face in the future.

After shaking her head helplessly for a while, she walked to the village again, admiring the window couplets plastered on the doors of every house on both sides of the street, while checking whether there were any friends she knew.

At this time, two middle-aged men passed by, and what they were talking about caught Huaying's attention.

She quickly stopped the other party and asked, "Uncle, did you just mention the Flying Fox Gate?"

"Hey, it's Ying girl. It's been a long time since I saw you come to play with Xiaocui at home. It's just Chinese New Year. Come and sit at home."

The person I met was an acquaintance, and it was Xiao Cui's father who Huaying had borrowed books from before who was speaking at this time. Huaying has been in close contact with Xiao Cui's family in recent years, and Xiao Cui's father is also one of the few people who knows her real name. , other people in the village call her Erya.

Huaying clasped her hands together and asked hurriedly, "Uncle, I just heard you talking about the Flying Fox Gate. What happened to the Flying Fox Gate? What happened?"

"You mean the Flying Fox Sect. The Flying Fox Sect was wiped out by someone a few days ago. The news just reached the town, and I just came back from the town. Don't I rush back to discuss this matter with the village chief? Son?" Xiaocui's father explained.

"Hey, our territory used to be under the control of the Feihu Sect. Now the Feihu Sect has suffered a sudden disaster. There are rumors that the Huadao Sect in Lin County is responsible for this incident. Maybe there will be some troubles in the future."

"Thank you Uncle, I see!"

After Huaying thanked her, she didn't bother to stay here, and hurriedly turned around and ran to the entrance of the village.

After she left, only Xiaocui's father and his companions were left puzzled for a long time, and said to themselves, "I don't know what happened to this child today."

Huaying quickly returned to the mountain, took out her long sword from the room, and rushed straight to the back mountain.

"Master, forgive Ying'er, I'm afraid Ying'er won't be able to celebrate the New Year with you this year."

Huaying held onto the tombstone, her lips trembled slightly, her face showed pain, as if she was saying her final farewell.

"Senior Sister is going to be dangerous. Now that the Flying Fox Sect has been destroyed, I'm afraid it will be the second sect of Qianjian Piercing Cloud. Although I have already made an appointment with Senior Sister, I have made an appointment to destroy these two sects after a few years when the cultivation technique is complete. You take revenge, I can't imagine that Senior Sister has already planned to leave me alone and act alone, now"

"Now I'm the only one going to stop it. Otherwise, my senior sister will be in danger. Since the Qianjianyunyun sect can control the entire Yongzhou, it must not be compared with a mere Flying Fox Sect."

"Although Ying'er is not very capable, she will not just sit back and watch her senior sister die alone, otherwise there will really be no relatives in this world. Master, this trip is difficult and dangerous. If anything happens, Ying'er can only go to the bottom and then meet again." You are reunited."

"Today at Qingya Mountain, Huaying bid farewell to her benefactor Chai He, and I hope I will visit the grave again in the coming year."

"This time, let's go."

With tears in Huaying's eyes, she took a last look at the seal engraving on the tombstone, looked up to the sky and smiled sadly at the endless starry sky, and then went down the mountain in the vast night.

Don't look back.
