Walking away

235 Back to the beginning

********

How many trade-offs does a person have to make to live a clever life? Maybe sometimes, the choice is just a program, because no matter what you choose, you will lose it in the end.

The sunset on this day is not very bright, but it is just right to warm the rebuilt Yangzhou City. The lively streets, the bustling crowds, and the clear autumn wind are all the same as three years ago, but they are different. The previous fire has gradually faded out of the topic of the world, but it will always remain in their memory.

In the eyes of mortals, there are too many unpredictable secrets in the world. But those who understand the mystery know that sometimes trying to be an ignorant person may be happier.

Yao Ling came out of the room with a large pile of books in his arms and carefully put them on the stone table in the courtyard. She picked up the feather duster on the table, walked a little farther, and began to slap the dust on the page of the book. She raised her sleeves to cover her mouth and nose, but she heard the door of the courtyard squeak. It was Sister Yaoyue who came in.

"Sister Yaoyue...cough..." Yao Ling dropped the feather duster, and his hands were also full of dust, so he did not pull Yaoyue to sit down. He only asked her to enter the room and wash his hands first. Yao Yue frowned and looked at the pile of books on the table and asked, "What are these?"

Yao Ling washed his hands in the room and heard Yao Yue's question. The action of wiping his hands stopped a few times, but he did not answer. Yao Yue recognized the blurred words on the dark blue cover and said to herself, "Is this... a recipe?"

"Hmm." Yao Ling pulled Yao Yue to sit in the room and poured her tea. Yaoyue asked, "Where did you get so many old recipes?" What's it for?"

Yao Ling replied, "Although the fire three years ago was extinguished in time, the rain alley was still not spared. The fireworks sister's previous things were also burned out..."

As soon as Yao Ling mentioned this, Yao Yue's expression immediately dimmed. She couldn't forget the gray figure who walked under her sword without looking back in the sea of fire. I don't know how he is now.

"When I was away before, Sister Yaoshi actually entered the fireworks sister's room without permission and lent her a box of recipes, tea art books and so on to her cousin. Her cousin was also a careless person. She threw the bookcase casually and sealed it there... Fortunately, the disaster there was not serious, and the only remaining relics were also preserved by mistake. She also sent someone to send it back.

"So it is." Yaoyue took a sip of tea with a smile, "I thought you wanted to..." She wanted to say, "I'm going to give these recipes to Xiao Fengchuan in Yangchun Hall." After thinking about it, she thought it's better not to mention it again, so she changed her mouth and said, "You have to learn to cook by yourself."

Yao Ling also smiled. She pouted and said, "It turns out that in my sister's eyes, I'm still a lazy person... I just want to learn to cook by myself."

The distant moon was stunned. When she saw Yao Ling smiling so happily, she felt a little uncomfortable. Three years ago, after the fire, Yao Ling has been focusing on the reconstruction of Yangzhou City. During this period, Xiao Fengchuan has been looking for her. She is either hiding or polite, cold and indifferent, which is very close as before. During those days, Yangzhou was short of supplies, but Fengchuan didn't know where to get the ingredients. Every day, he made exquisite snacks in different ways and personally sent them to Yaoling. Yao Ling still said thank you indifferently and resolutely refused. Yaoyue saw it several times. Poor Fengchuan's heart asked Yao Ling to take it. Unexpectedly, Yaoling took it and just gave it to the disaster victims. When there was enough food, she let it go with Yaoyue, the rest of her peers, and even took it to honor the elders she was not used to most, but she never ate it.

Yao Yue also saw that she was angry with Fengchuan, but she was not usually awkward. That determined and indifferent look always makes people feel so far away, as if she has seen through the world and is unimpeded. Fengchuan's heartbroken look, Yao Yue, as an outsider, couldn't bear it. She asked Yaoling what had happened between the two. Yaoling only said nothing; when she asked Fengchuan again, Fengchuan was also distracted and didn't say anything.

Three years have passed. Yangchun Hall has already reopened. Fengchuan runs his father's business alone. No matter how busy he is every day, he has to carry a food box to send snacks to Yaoling in person, rain or shine. I just didn't say anything when I came. Yao Ling didn't see him. He just looked deeply at the window of Yao Ling's room and left silently. The distant attitude is consistent, and there is no wavering at all.

What on earth has changed the remote spirit so much? She is not as reckless as before. She does everything she wants. When she has something on her mind, she doesn't squat at the door of Yaoyue's room, waiting for her to come back and cry to her. Uncle asked her to go out to do the task, and she doesn't easily ask her sister and brother to help in distress. After suffering from difficult and unfair treatment, she is also indifferent and not As everyone guessed, they made a lot of noise everywhere and even used fights to solve problems. Everyone in Yuxiang said that Yaoling had experienced it and was finally sensible.

Are you really sensible? In this way, it doesn't look like a remote spirit at all...

Yao Yue is worried. Yao Ling may be much more mature, but she has a knot in her heart. Yaoyue has been trying to enlighten her, but in the final analysis, she still has to tie the bell.

"Remote Spirit." Yaoyue asked righteously, "Why do you do everything yourself? If you want to eat something, just say something and he will do everything for you. No, it's not just food, he will do everything in the world for you, right?

Yao Ling smiled comfortably and said, "I'd better do it myself... In the final analysis, I'm the only one who can respond to my wishes at the first time."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Now, the whole world understands Xiao Fengchuan's heart. You who identified him at the beginning, but you can't understand it? Yaoyue held Yaoling's hand and tried to bring her heart closer. "What's going on between you? Are you going to go on like this and become a stranger with him?

Yao Ling still doesn't answer. She looked into the distance and was also thinking about things far away. It's not that she can't see Xiao Fengchuan's heart clearly, but she can't tolerate that there are others in his heart; she can't forgive herself and take away other people's lovers.

She knew that Wu Lingchun must still be alive. If he is alive, he will certainly not contact Yaoling and Fengchuan, but from the letter from Yan Qingdu from Dengzhou, Yaoling faintly feels that he knows the whereabouts of Wu Lingchun. He doesn't talk much, but he can never hide what's on his mind.

Since Wu Lingchun is alive, he may come back one day. He tried his best to repair the Wu Mansion and waited for him to come back. He was a soft-hearted person, and he could not help running back to have a look. Yaoling didn't want to stay in Yangzhou anymore. He was worried about him. In recent years, because of the reconstruction of Yangzhou, high-level disciples are also needed to take care of it, and Yaoling has been unable to pull himself away. And now, it's almost time for her to go.

Earlier, uncles and uncles made a plan to select several excellent disciples and enter Kunlun Mountain for closed practice. During this time, many things have been delayed. Now, it's finally time to put it into practice. The teacher was quite satisfied with Yao Ling's performance in recent years. He said that she was mature, conscientious and experienced, and her cultivation was also outstanding. She could be regarded as the future pillar of Rain Lane. She recommended her early. Most of the other uncles and elders have no objection. Therefore, Yaoling is ready to go to Kunlun Mountain. She can't tell whether it's ten years, twenty years, or... a hundred years.

So, before you leave, go to see him... them.

"Who said he wanted to be a stranger." Yao Ling said, "Sister, over the years, I have never broken up with Xiao Fengchuan."

Only come, there is no way out. Yao Yue shook her head and said, "Yao Ling, listen to your senior sister's advice and don't be too stubborn. Think about it, the battle of the demon world, the burning fire, so many people have lost their lives and loved ones, and you and Fengchuan can survive, but don't you cherish the opportunity to stay together?

"Good." Yao Ling nodded and said, "I'll go to him... and make everything clear with him."

Make it clear.

In the early morning of the second day, Yao Ling cleaned up early, only took a few letters from the drawer, and then went out to the Yangchun Hall. As soon as one foot stepped into the threshold, he first heard the crisp sound of color dripping into the bowl. Then, in the silence, a mountain cry broke out: "Single!" Double!" Single!" Single!" The shock made Yaoling frown. Yao Ling entered the store and stood firm, but the handyman Xiao Er was busy gambling, and no one came to greet him.

It's a gamble again... The guys in Yangchun Hall are all virtuous, which is simply passed down from generation to generation... What a stinky problem.

"Uh-huh--" Yao Ling cleared his throat. The little brother threw the white towel on his shoulder and turned around and shouted, "Inside the guest--"

"Huh? Isn't this, isn't this Sister Yaoling!" The little second smiled and said, "Sister Yaoling, please upstairs!" The best refreshment is ready for you~"

Did Xiao Fengchuan know that she was coming? Moreover... How did this little second brother, who had never met before, recognize Yao Ling, and called "Sister Yao Ling" so smoothly?

"What are you guys still doing? Why don't you go to work!" Xiao Er waved his hand to disperse the rest of the people and led the distant spirit upstairs. Yao Ling asked, "Brother, do you boss Xiao know that I'm coming today? How do you... know about me?"

"This tea is what Second Master Xiao told us to prepare every day. It has been like this since the reopening of Yangchun Hall. The little two led Yao Ling upstairs, but did not enter the box, but only stopped in front of the small table outside. There are lotus tea and snacks on the table. Yaoling will not remember that this table was the seat he sat when he first came to Yangchun Hall; and this lotus tea was also the tea he drank when he first came.

"As for the name of Sister Yaoling... Our Second Master Xiao hangs in his mouth every day and thinks about the people, not to mention Yangchun Hall, I'm afraid that everyone in Yangzhou City knows it."

*******The end of the month dividing line at the end of the life******

You can't drag the end of this chapter until after the National Day, can you? I resolutely skipped class and came back to finish these two chapters... [Snoring] I'm a bad boy.
