Lord of Nine Stars

,

A week passed in a blink of an eye. On the twenty-ninth day of the new year, Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei, led by Yang Chunxi, and a group of civilians from Songjiang Soul City who returned home, formed a team of fifty people and marched to Songbai Town. .

In a normal society, there will be trains one after another, but in this snow-covered land, there are "carriages" one after another.

Although it is located in the south of a wall, there is still danger in the wilderness, so people who want to return from Songjiang Soul City to Songbai Town still need to be escorted by soul warriors.

Rong Taotao controlled Xue Yejing and came to walk side by side with Gao Lingwei. From time to time, he looked at the carriages behind him. He had a wonderful feeling. inside?"

Gao Lingwei gave a soft "um", but closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

On Gao Lingwei's shoulder, the Edelweiss cat has a strong ability to imitate, imitating the master's appearance, also closed her big blue eyes, raised her head, and took a deep breath.

Even with it, the Yunyun Dog on Rong Taotao's head also raised his head and inhaled...

Today's weather is very good, very rare, even Yunyun Dog is willing to stay outside.

The wind is very light, and the winter sun at noon is also very warm, which is very suitable for traveling.

She whispered: "I have spent three New Year's Eves in Songbai Town, and I know that every year a large number of people rush back to Songbai Town to celebrate the New Year. Today is the first time to perform an **** mission. Unexpectedly, the entire Songjiang Soul City will be hollowed out. ."

Starting from the 29th of New Year's Eve, groups of "carriages" have sent away groups of civilians who rushed back to Songbai Town for reunion.

Rong Taotao nodded secretly, thinking of the grand celebration that Gao Lingwei described to him, he felt a little pity, because among the soul class, only two people came out.

Si Huanian is indeed the **** of the martial arts field, with an authority that ordinary people can't imagine.

But while enjoying the privileges, Si Huanian was also firmly "crucified" in the martial arts hall. Many college students who trained hard did not return to their hometowns. Si Huanian still wanted to provide them with benefits to accelerate their cultivation, which also led to The other soul class youths stayed in the martial arts field one after another.

But when they celebrate the festival together, the atmosphere should be very good.

Everyone went south all the way, and they also felt warmer and warmer.

Although it is only a short 50-kilometer journey, the temperature rises in steps. Until everyone reaches Songbai Town, Rong Taotao has a feeling that this place is probably at least 3-4 degrees higher than Songjiang Soul City!

"Oh!!"

"Woohoo~ I'm home!"

More than two hours later, bursts of cheers rang out.

Rong Taotao was still silently practising the soul technique on horseback. Hearing such excited cheers, he couldn't help but turn his head to look, but he saw people's heads protruding from the doors and windows of the carriages. Cheers to the checkpoint in the distance.

Rong Taotao turned his head, looked into the distance, and heard people's excited voices...

"Second uncle, let's go home to eat, haha, I think you're also an old bachelor. You've been living with your family for the past few days. Let's celebrate the festival together?"

"Little bastard, what about your uncle? What is a bachelor? I earned money for a year, and this time I come back to marry you a second aunt!"

"Pfft...cough..."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Amidst the bursts of laughter, Rong Taotao couldn't help showing a hint of laughter. In the center of the distant road, there was a checkpoint, and it was not too much to call it a small camp.

There are lush green pines and cypresses on both sides of the road, and frost and snow hang on top of the evergreen trees, pressing on the branches, as if welcoming travelers returning home.

"Tsk tsk..." Rong Taotao couldn't help but be amazed. After walking for more than 50 kilometers, there are many trees in the wild.

But with the checkpoint as the limit, looking southward, the dense green pines and cypresses are endless and extremely lush, with a little snow on the branches, forming a perfect picture.

In the camp in the middle of the road, several officers stepped forward and made a stop gesture.

Rong Taotao was quite curious as the carriages passed one by one. The procedures for entering the city were more complicated than entering the customs. It was inquiries, security checks, and stamps...

With a lonely student ID card, Rong Taotao came in smoothly.

Yang Chunxi suddenly said: "I'm here, you two don't have to be with me, let's go shopping in the city, I have to help the school teachers and settle these students."

Many Songjiang Soul Wu students also came here to celebrate the New Year, and the school also provided them with dormitories. It seemed that Yang Chunxi was very busy.

"Huh?" Rong Taotao blinked and looked at Yang Chunxi.

"Go, let's play." Beside him, Yang Chunxi said with a smile, "Keep the phone open."

"Drive!" Gao Lingwei shouted softly, her legs lightly clamped on the horse's belly, and rushed out first, the jet-black ponytail flying behind her head, she turned her head and glanced at Rong Taotao.

"Come on~" Rong Taotao hurriedly rode his horse forward, caught up, took out his phone from his pocket, and finally changed the silent phone to ring mode.

wow, comfortable~

Rong Taotao never thought that the moment of getting rid of Sihuanian's shadow would be so comfortable!

It turns out that the phone can ring!

It's amazing, Rong Taotao almost forgot that the phone has this function!

"Where are we going?" Rong Taotao shouted.

"Wow!" Yunyun Dog also called out on the naturally curled head.

Gao Lingwei turned her head to look at Rong Taotao and said, "I'll take you to my alma mater first? Didn't you go to high school? Come and visit?"

Rong Taotao: "..."

I'm so worried!

Surrounded by dense pines and cypresses on both sides of the road, Gao Lingwei and Rong Taotao rode their horses one after the other...

After just 5 minutes, Rong Taotao, who finally entered the town, gradually opened his mouth into an "O" shape.

As soon as he entered the first street in the town, Rong Taotao saw a crowded scene.

He hadn't seen so many people in a long time.

Such a strong atmosphere of life is completely different from the atmosphere of a university campus.

"Stay right." The white horse under Gao Lingwei's crotch slowed down, marching on the right side of the road, and merged into the crowd on horseback.

Due to the characteristics of Xue Yejing's docile, human nature, stability and knowledge of the way, coupled with the special weather and environment, Xue Yejing has already become the main means of transportation in Songbai Town.

Here, the horse shop that rents horses has always been a particularly hot business. After all, on a snowy night, the snow night terror is a rigid demand for civilians to travel.

Rong Taotao looked around. When he first entered the town, he encountered such a large market, which was full of people, which he did not expect.

Although this is a commercial street, the overall buildings in Songbai Town are not high, most of which are only 1-2 floors, and many buildings are also brick-shaped, with an antique charm.

"Hey, roasted sweet potatoes." Rong Taotao said suddenly.

Gao Lingwei turned her head to look, and saw an old grandmother in front of a door selling frozen goods, sitting beside a sweet potato oven with a few steaming sweet potatoes on the stove.

Gao Lingwei smiled and glanced at Rong Taotao, then turned the horse right onto the sidewalk, turned over beside the tree and dismounted.

Another advantage of Xue Ye Jing is that there is no need to "lock the car" or scan the code to return the car. Next to the trees on the sidewalk is the public area where Xue Ye Jing is parked.

Gao Lingwei watched Rong Taotao turn over and dismount from his horse, then put one hand on his shoulder, turned around, faced Xue Yejing, and said, "Look at this face again, don't be ridden by others for a while. "

Saying that, Gao Lingwei gently stroked Xue Yejing's horse's face, and walked towards the roasted sweet potato stand with a confused Rong Taotao.

He has too many details of life to learn and integrate, especially the overall structural style of Songbai Town is antique, which really makes Rong Taotao feel that he has returned to the ancient world.

Fortunately, the grandmother who sold roasted sweet potatoes accepted the payment by scanning the QR code on her mobile phone, and brought Rong Taotao back to reality...

The two of them each held a hot roasted sweet potato, rode on Xue Yejing, and followed the crowd while eating.

Turning northward at the first intersection, the light suddenly became clear. Without the crowds of the market people, the speed of the two of them was much happier.

The two walked north for five blocks, almost to the northern edge of Songbai Town. Gao Lingwei was feeding the edelweiss cat in her arms, and then stopped in front of a huge school gate.

Songbai Zhenhunwu High School.

Several large gilded characters are vertically attached to an ancient tree in the sky, standing on the right side of the school gate.

The doorman's small window was suddenly opened, and an old man waved his hand with a smile: "Girl, come back!"

"Ah, hello." Gao Lingwei's mind was stunned, but she felt that this guard was familiar. As a man of the Songbai Soulwu High School, everyone in the school knew Gao Lingwei, but Gao Lingwei didn't know everyone.

"I saw that you were admitted to Songjiang Soul Martial Arts, and your photo is still hanging on the photo wall of outstanding students. You are my granddaughter's role model, haha."

Gao Lingwei smiled and nodded slightly.

"Meow~" The Edelweiss cat smothered a mouthful of roasted sweet potatoes, licked her small mouth with her pink tongue, tilted her head curiously, and looked at the doorman.

"Many students have come back, but the high school students are on holiday tonight. The school is not allowed to enter and visit. You can come back tomorrow." After the doorman started politely, he finally stated his purpose.

Thinking about it, Gao Lingwei has a very high reputation here, and her reputation is illustrious.

"Yeah." Hearing this, Gao Lingwei's expression was inevitably a little disappointed.

The doorman thought for a while, but pointed to the north: "You are more familiar with that place than me."

"Well, yes!" Gao Lingwei's eyes suddenly lit up and said, "Thank you."

"Haha." The doorman waved his hand and closed the small window.

Gao Lingwei turned the horse's head and continued to go north: "Go."

Rong Taotao followed curiously: "Where are you going?"

"There is a small park on the north hill. There is a monument on the park. There are 303 steps from bottom to top. In high school, we always jumped there." , overlooking the entire high school campus."

The two walked all the way to Beishan, and in a very quiet small park, they also saw the steps that seemed to go straight to the sky.

The 303 steps are actually not very high, but the hillside is very steep, and with the surrounding green pines and cypresses, the top of the monument appears vaguely in the trees, as if standing in the sky.

In winter, the sun in the north goes down very early. At this time, it is only after four o'clock, and it is already falling to the west. The orange-red sun sets against the woods, and it looks like the sunset is very beautiful.

"Let's go." Gao Lingwei retracted Xue Ye Jing, "Just put your Xue Ye Jing here."

As she said that, she took Yunyun Dog from the top of Rong Taotao's head, and gently wiped Yunyun Dog's small mouth with one hand, which was covered with crumbs of roasted sweet potatoes.

"Hmm~" Yunyun Dog licked Gao Lingwei's finger, thinking there was something delicious...

On the way up the mountain, Rong Taotao also saw young people walking down the steps. It seemed that they all came here to look down on their alma mater.

After passing by the two female students, Rong Taotao climbed the steps while laughing: "You are a famous person here, these young people are very surprised when they see you, mumbling."

However, Gao Lingwei didn't bother, but said, "This monument commemorates a principal of Songbai Soulwu High School named Xiao Li.

In the 1980s, it was he who defied all opinions and overcame many difficulties, and single-handedly founded Songbai Soulwu High School, which pushed the cultivation site of Xuejing High School students more than 30 kilometers north.

Since then, the overall level of the high school students in the northern snowy area has slowly caught up, and the bustling Songbai Town you see today.

Later, due to overwork, Principal Xiao died in the school hospital at the age of 73.

In order to commemorate him, the school built a small park in the mountain behind the school and erected a monument. "

Rong Taotao nodded and stopped talking, silently following Gao Lingwei up the steps.

303 steps, step by step, Rong Taotao also saw the high monument, inscribed with two simple characters: Hero.

There are only two big characters on the tower-shaped monument, no annotations, no names, and no sculptures.

Gao Lingwei stood in front of the monument and looked at it for a while, then turned around, came to the stone fence, and looked at her alma mater.

At the foot of the mountain, the entire Songbai Soulwu High School has a panoramic view, the teaching building, the cafeteria, the dormitory building, the martial arts field, and the children who are training hard under the sunset.

These are indeed her youth.

Rong Taotao hugged the Yunyun dog and looked around, but when he walked to the side of the monument, he saw a tall figure standing in the north of Songbaiyuan.

Under the setting sun, an orange-red color dipped in the pine and cypress forest.

But that woman was wearing a red cloak, like a wedding dress.

The long dark hair fluttered gently in the breeze, leaving Rong Taotao behind.

"This..." Rong Taotao blinked stupidly.

In the silence, he carefully walked a few steps to the right, the stone bricks under his feet turned into snow, and when he entered the edge of the woods, he saw the profile of the woman.

Her profile is beautiful, but her expression is very melancholy.

The frozen pale palm was bloodless, pressed against the tree beside her, her eyes were empty, and she was silently looking at the north.

Her line of sight seemed to be able to pass through this not-so-dense pine forest and see those homecoming wanderers in the north.

Rong Taotao stared at this scene in a daze, and suddenly, for a moment, he understood what it means to "see through".

After an unknown amount of time, Gao Lingwei walked to Rong Taotao's sluggish expression, followed Rong Taotao's line of sight, and looked curiously towards the edge of the woods, then her face froze.

The memory was opened in an instant. If I hadn't seen this woman here, Gao Lingwei would have forgotten her existence.

Teacher Chen, the practical teacher of Songbai Soulwu High School, she only became a high school teacher a few years ago, and she is also a very special existence here.

Because her mental state is not very good, she seldom takes students or class, but always stops here and waits for a day.

Whenever Gao Lingwei came here, she could always see her figure standing by the forest.

In such a quiet environment, Rong Taotao's cell phone rang suddenly, even a little harsh.

"The heavy snow seals the door and then sends the God of Wealth, the fire can't burn the person in your heart..."

This Northeast folk song is a special ringtone set by Rong Taotao for Yang Chunxi. As early as half a year ago, when he first met his sister-in-law, he set it up specially.

Rong Taotao hurriedly flipped through the phone from his pocket, and the bell stubbornly rang.

On the side, Gao Lingwei's voice suddenly came: "Chen...Chen Jiao, hello."

For a moment, Rong Taotao's body froze, and he only felt that the hairs on his body stood upright, as if he was locked by someone's sight.

Rong Taotao couldn't care less, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone, but heard the cold voice of the woman in red in the distance: "Don't answer."

"Gudu." Rong Taotao's Adam's apple wriggled for a while, and he raised his head cautiously, but saw the woman's eyes beside Songbolin in the distance, her eyes were red, and she looked at Rong Taotao quietly, to be precise, looking at Rong Taotao just now Take out the phone.

The bell also rang stubbornly and was unusually clear.

"The setting sun in Saibei is her red makeup, and a mountain of pines and cypresses are the bridesmaids..."

"Heh." The woman sighed deeply, a layer of mist rose in her eyes, a smile appeared on her face, very reluctant and very depressed, "he said, he will come back, let me wait for him here. "

"The sound of gongs and drums is the first month, the sound of firecrackers is falling into the ground, and every household lights up lanterns..."

Gao Lingwei took a step forward, blocked Rong Taotao, and said, "Yes."

Rong Taotao answered the phone immediately, but did not put it in his ear, but he heard Yang Chunxi's faint voice: "Tao Tao, where are you? It's time to come back, I'm..."

The woman raised her head~www.readwn.com~ wiped her red eyes, with a faint tear on her face, that extremely reluctant smile looked heartbreaking.

And she just turned around silently, pressed one hand on the cold bark, looked north again, and said no more.

"Go." Gao Lingwei took Rong Taotao's wrist and led him back step by step.

Gao Lingwei was very vigilant, but the woman in red was standing under the setting sun, beside the pine and cypress, motionless and waiting quietly.

It was not until the two of them retreated to the monument, covering the red figure, that Gao Lingwei breathed a sigh of relief, but quickly turned around and walked down the steps with Rong Taotao.

"For three years, this is the first time I've heard her speak."

"Is she waiting for her family?"

"You've seen it."

"Um?"

"Xiao Ziru."
