On How the Phoenix Hanged on the Crooked Neck Tree

Chapter 37

"So that princess is my mother-in-law." Qiao Yitong murmured.

"It turns out that what my mother-in-law has been talking about is here with you." Qiao Yitong stood up, not pacing in the narrow cell, and speculated to himself: "She was originally a princess of the Qin Kingdom, with a single name of one month. I lost Peiyu, so I got a stone instead. I gave it to her child as a letter. I didn’t expect that after the farewell, there would be no chance to meet again. According to your age, you should be her grandson.”

Xiao Qin didn't understand yet, and asked, "What mother-in-law?"

Qiao Yitong reminded him: "When I went to worship my mother-in-law, you should have been there. You also read the books she taught me to read."

Xiao Qin was silent.

The scene at that time is still vivid.It's just that he didn't expect that a stranger who was originally thought to be irrelevant turned out to be a relative with whom he was inextricably linked.

My loved ones... That was something that he, an orphan, would never dare to think about in his life, but he never stopped longing for it in his heart.

"When I was young, my mother was sick first, and then left home. My father has been practicing. So no one has raised me. I was brought up by my mother-in-law." Qiao Yitong said, her tone gradually became low, "It turns out that I misunderstood her Yes. I have always regarded the princess as someone who intentionally meddled in it, but my mother-in-law, how could she be such a person? If she had malicious intentions back then, how could she have worked so hard to raise me? Besides, she has always No one saw it except me..."

Qiao Yitong speculated on his own, but Xiao Qin who was at the side was confused and couldn't help asking: "What did you find?"

Qiao Yitong glanced at him and made a decision.

He told Xiao Qin in detail what he had been brooding about since childhood.

After hearing this tortuous past, Xiao Qin was still immersed in his imagination about the past for a long time.

Qiao Yitong said: "There must be something hidden back then, it seems that I used to be arbitrary."

Xiao Qin said: "If this is the case, it turns out that you were brought up by my grandmother. The world is really wonderful."

After Qiao Yitong heard this, she lowered her head guiltily: "If you count it this way, I have taken away your childhood and relatives. I owe you a lot, but I don't know...how much more I will owe you."

Xiao Qin stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled: "The former Qiao Yitong who never admitted his mistakes, where is the heartless hatred now?"

"Huh?" Qiao Yitong was surprised that he would say such a thing.

Xiao Qin took a deep breath, and leaned against the wall leisurely: "In the past, I was always a little bit resentful about the fact that I had parents and no parents. But—" he stopped, A pair of starry eyes looked deeply at Qiao Yitong, "But now I feel a little lucky."

Looking directly at Qiao Yitong's somewhat dodgy gaze, Xiao Qin still said what was in his heart: "If it wasn't like this, that person who was raised by no one would have become you. I saw... how sad it is."

Xiao Qin Mingming said this with a light smile, but Qiao Yitong felt sad for no reason.

At the same time, I felt a kind of deep and inclusive, unbearable affection.

Qiao Yitong is not a fool.

If it is said that when Xiao Qin died for him, he didn't understand why this person would do this for him.

Then after such a long time of thinking, plus what Xiao Qin said just now.

No matter how ignorant and insensitive a person is, it's time to know Xiao Qin's intentions.

If you don't know it yet, or if you know it but pretend you don't know it, that's another form of trampling on someone else's sincerity.

With the romantic love history of his own father Qiao Guangyi as a lesson for the past, Qiao Yitong will never do something that is deeply entangled in emotions.

But it's one thing to know what to do, quite another to actually implement it...

Qiao Yitong held the hand hidden under the sleeve tightly.

Xiao Qin said just now that he would be sad, but now he is going to make him sad.

Yes, he can choose to pretend to be stupid, don't understand anything, and don't say anything, but everything has a day when it is exposed to the sun, can it be spent for a long time like this?

Besides, there is... Lin Feng.

Linfeng said that they will meet again soon.

And Qiao Yitong also firmly believed in this.

Pursing her lips, Qiao Yitong met Xiao Qin's eyes, and just about to speak, Xiao Qin hurriedly interrupted: "When are you going out? You won't stay here with me forever? It's cold here Yes, don't blame me for not reminding you, you can't bear such delicate skin and tender meat."

Qiao Yitong looked at him with complicated and restrained eyes.

His unbearable and hesitant expression almost made Xiao Qin feel sad.

Trying his best to ignore the stabbing pain in his heart, Xiao Qin almost couldn't stand still, he began to force himself to say a lot, so that Qiao Yitong didn't have a chance to speak: "I have finished talking about what I have done during this time, and you should also talk about it." Yours, you can't just use the word 'good' to apply..."

"Xiao Qin." Qiao Yitong interrupted his sudden babble, "I have something to tell you."

"I... know." Xiao Qin's lips trembled, looking at Qiao Yitong, he almost begged, his voice was extremely difficult.

"...Can you stop talking?"

Qiao Yitong was silent for a while, then turned her head away.

When he turned his head again, his expression was normal, "I want to ask, after you go out, can you take me to walk the river you mentioned earlier?"

……

The time for Qiao Yitong to be released from prison was far shorter than the one month Qiao Guangyi said, and I don't know whether it was because he couldn't bear it or it was the result of Yixuan playing around.

Xiao Qin was also released from prison at the same time.

According to the previous agreement, Xiao Qin took Qiao Yitong to the foot of the back mountain of Luoye Peak, which is also a part of the ground where the dark river haunts the ground.

The two jumped into the river without any movement, and drifted down the river without any resistance.

When he came to a place with strong current, Qiao Yitong suddenly said, "That's where you drifted away."

"I failed to catch you. I really wanted to die at that time."

Xiao Qin glanced at him and said nothing.

Knowing that Qiao Yitong didn't mean that, but still couldn't help answering in his heart.

You can actually grab it now.

Just refuse to stop.

Knowing that the key turning point was here, the two stopped and searched here for several hours before finding the secret passage that Xiao Qin drifted in.

At the beginning, the water was turbulent, and when it hit the stones on the shore, the water splashed everywhere, and the water splashed and boomed in my ears.Unexpectedly, after drifting like this for 10 minutes, the water flow gradually calmed down.

The river has also become much wider.The water is still and deep, full of aura wanting to overflow.

Qiao Yitong thought to himself, this should be where Fengyundu's spiritual veins are located.

It's hidden.

If the so-called "Original Wood Spirit" really has the magical effect of nourishing a group of mountains, then the mother Zhiji's act of stealing it is really sorry for the Mu clan.

This is a wonderful land.

People often say that water and sky are the same color, that is, the water is below and the sky is above.Here it is completely reversed, although the water and the sky are in harmony with each other, a piece of pure blue, but the water is above and the sky is below.

Under their feet is a void of light blue, with occasional wisps of cloud floating past.

There is obviously no support, but it can be stepped on, as if stepping on flat ground.

The water waves above the head also flow calmly and gently.It doesn't mean that the water flows downhill.

Such a scene can only be said to be the creation of nature.

Between the water and the sky is an existence that can take everyone's breath away.

——A giant tree that is beautiful to the extreme.

The whole tree is simple and mottled, thick and amiable.The leaves are luxuriant, like layers of crystals, and the dark green and light green reflect the light and shadow, exuding a soft light.

It's not that Qiao Yitong has never seen giant trees.The previous hibiscus tree was one of the ancient giant trees, and it was no problem covering the sky and the sun.But when I saw the tree now, I was still heartbroken.

The two trees gave him completely different feelings.

If standing in front of Fusang, all you can feel is the insignificance of life; then in front of this tree, you can only feel the preciousness of life.

It's nice to have life, even for a mayfly, isn't it?

From the perspective of the beauty of all things in the world, everything in the world is beautiful.

This tree gives people such a feeling.

Perhaps, it is more appropriate to call it Yuanmu Ling?

When Xiao Qin saw it, he was also shocked, unable to speak.

However, what surprised Qiao Yitong even more was the man standing next to Yuan Muling.

That man was dazzling, his black hair was flowing with fire, his eyes were golden, and his imposing manner was unstoppable.

Such a person suddenly softened the moment he saw Qiao Yitong.

It was like seeing the most precious treasure in the world.

—— Lin Feng.

"Tongtong, look, it really won't be long." Linfeng smiled very gently, his gentle voice was not impatient, as if he had been waiting here for Qiao Yitong for a long time, but he was gentle and cautious.

Qiao Yitong knew what he was talking about.

The day of parting was clearly very near, but he felt that it had been a long, long time.

Just kidding, how could it be possible without a year or so?

"Linfeng." Qiao Yitong said softly, "Next time, don't lie to me."

A sentence is not clear, but both of them understand it.
