Don't ask for perfection

The severe winter has passed, and most of the snow on the eaves has melted.

The days were still the same as usual, Mu Xuanying went to the school to teach every day, and Mo Yu also had his duties to do in the Yamen.

Everything should have been so peaceful.But Mu Xuanying could clearly feel that something in her body was changing.

It won't be long before it lasts.While he was still able to move, he hoped that he could return to the Haoqi League and meet Xie Yuan.It's not that I have to say anything, but I always want to see each other before leaving.

As in the past, when he woke up, the person beside him was still fast asleep. Mu Xuanying gently shook him awake, "Brother Mo Yu, it's time to wake up."

These days Mo Yu is much more lazy, maybe it is cold, or maybe the days are too comfortable.

"Why did Maomao wake up so early?"

"Get up first, I have something to tell you."

There were still the same porridge and buns in front of the table, but Mu Xuanying was not in a hurry to eat, and looked at Mo Yu with her head on her hands.

"What's the matter, Mao Mao?"

"Brother Mo Yu, I may need to go back to the Haoqi League."

Mu Xuanying thought about many possibilities, maybe the other party would quarrel with him, or even draw their swords, but none of what he thought happened.

Mo Yu's expression was a little gloomy, and he just looked at him like this for a long time without making a sound.

"Brother Mo Yu, I..."

Now the result of the two people is really not easy. At this time, Mu Xuanying suddenly proposed to return to the Haoqi League. It would be impossible for Mo Yu to say that he didn't feel anything at all, but so many years of experience can make him feel better when he is here. The more calm you are at this time.

Because it was Mu Xuanying, how could he be angry.

"Why, why go back. Have you forgotten how they treated you?"

Mo Yu's voice already had a hint of pleading. Since the other party had already said such a thing, he must have thought about it for a long time, but he still wanted to ask for an answer, which could be regarded as drawing an end to this relationship.

"..."

"Can't you say it? If you can't say it, forget it. I will send you back to Nanping Mountain, and each of you will cherish it. Since you have also made a choice, I don't want to ask more questions. I just think that I, Mo Yu, have paid for it by mistake for half of my life. "

Mo Yu regained his previous calm, but Mu Xuanying felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Wrong payment...yeah.Mu Xuanying never told Mo Yu the truth, so that he could live a good life.I thought it would last a few more years, but I didn't expect the deadline to come early.

Mu Xuanying's heart was already filled with despair. He didn't want to tell Mo Yu the truth, so he might as well let him live the rest of his life with hatred towards him.

It's better than living in guilt, just like in Maple Valley back then.

"sorry."

"Go and pack your things, let's go tomorrow."

Silent all night.

All the usual life disappeared the next day. When it was time to clean up, Mu Xuanying realized that there was really nothing to take away. After thinking for a long time, she finally put a lock on the small courtyard and left the key to the Mo Yu.

"Brother Mo Yu will return to the Valley of the Evil."

The world is so big, everything finally returned to the original point.Mo Yuqian laughed twice, but did not answer.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Mu Xuanying was not annoyed, and continued, "Actually, this place is really good. You can spend the rest of your life without worrying about eating and drinking. If you really don't want to go back to the Valley of the Wicked, you can stay here." That's right. It's close to the capital, so everything is convenient... Don't always have this expression, brother Mo Yu really didn't think about this step today, right?"

"Forget it...it's my fault. Please take me to Nanping."

Mu Xuanying had an impulse to tell Mo Yu the current situation, at least there is still hope for her to live...

But on second thought, Mu Xuanying gave up this idea again.

I told him what to do, watched him at a loss, visited a doctor but still couldn't stop the passing of life.Mu Xuanying also thought about leaving without saying goodbye one morning and walking the rest of the journey alone.

But he still wanted to take a closer look at the person in front of him, even if he took one more look, he really wouldn't be able to see anything after he died.

In Mo Yu's heart, he returned to the Haoqi League for the great cause of justice in Jianghu, but what the truth is, Mu Xuanying can only swallow his bitterness back silently.

It was past noon, but there was no sunshine at all.

Mo Yu also vaguely believed in Mu Xuanying's heart that there were many unspeakable things in his heart, but these had nothing to do with him. All he could do was to send him off for the last time, so that this story could be regarded as having a beginning and an end.

It has been more than twenty years since we met when we were young.

Meet and get acquainted, accompany and protect each other, and have been away for many years, and finally their fates are still intertwined.

Now is the time to separate.

Mo Yu is a person who doesn't believe in fate, and now he has no choice but to think that the past 20 years are just a big dream.

It's just that this dream is really too nostalgic, and it's a bit confusing with reality.

All the way from Chang'an to Nanping, Mu Xuanying wanted to say something many times, but finally endured it.

Although Mo Yu treated Mu Xuanying with the same meticulous care as before, the heavy atmosphere couldn't dissipate no matter what.

The river in Nanping has started to flow slowly, and the plants along the bank have also sprouted new shoots.

It's spring again.

Mu Xuanying's footsteps suddenly stopped beside a stone tablet.

"Mo Yu, please wait..."

"What's the matter?" Mo Yu glanced at the stele beside him. Although the stele has been polished by the years, the name on it is very clear:

Mu Tianlei.

Originally, Mo Yu should have called him father-in-law.

"Let's go." Mo Yu said softly.

Mu Xuanying still stood there indifferently.

"Let's go." Seeing that he was still not moving, Mo Yu could only stand aside impatiently and wait.

Mu Xuanying knelt down in front of the tomb, first bowed to Mu Tianlei three times, and then looked up at Mo Yu.

Mo Yu was a little overwhelmed for a while after being stared at like this. Seeing that the other party's eyes were already a little bright, he didn't leave or stay.

In the past, when Maomao cried, it was enough to coax him with a doll.

But now, Mo Yu was really at a loss.

In the end, Mo Yu and Mu Xuanying knelt together.There was no one to clean the deserted tomb all year round, and the spring rain made it even more muddy. Mo Yu felt the cold mud mixed with his clothes.

Although it is spring, it is still bitingly cold.

"Brother Mo Yu, please say a few words to your father when you are leaving...We have been together for so long, and my father still doesn't know." Mu Xuanying's voice was already crying, "I forced you , then let Mu Xuanying say goodbye..."

These words hit Mo Yu's heart directly like the final verdict.He waited for this sentence for a long time, thinking that he should have been invulnerable to all kinds of poisons after experiencing the world all these years.But at this moment, he still felt unspeakably uncomfortable. He still had a lot to say, but all the thousands of words he could say came together in one sentence, "Take care."

Let it go.Mo Yu looked at the back that was fading away in his sight, and suddenly laughed.

The laughter was enough to shake the valley, but it was so shrill that it scared away a group of birds perched on the branches.

In the end, he couldn't even make a sound.

Mo Yu had already shed all tears when she was a child, but now facing this kind of scene, she couldn't cry anymore.

Using one's own life to extend the life of the other party is nothing but a gimmick in the end.

Mo Yu felt that his life was like a joke, his brotherhood was so deep that he slept together, and he thought he was deeply in love.In the eyes of the other party, he may be a vessel that can continue life.

The world is so big, in the end it seems that there is really only a place where there are poor mountains and bad waters.

Mo Yu dragged his tired body and walked back slowly, his mind was blank.

In the end, it was a different journey with the person who swore to accompany and protect each other.

Haoqi League.

Xie Yuan was no longer as high-spirited as in the past, sitting in the main hall with frost on his temples, dealing with the official documents in hand.

Over the past few years, he can clearly feel that his body is not what it used to be, thinking that the Haoqi League needs an heir.

A familiar figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, Xie Yuan's first reaction was that he had misread it, but when he took a closer look, wasn't it Mu Xuanying?

I saw the man half leaning on the door frame panting heavily, his face was pale, and his blue robe was covered with mud.

"Xuanying? Xuanying, are you back?" Xie Yuan's old face was full of joy and excitement.

Mu Xuanying forced a smile and nodded.

"Come in, it's cold outside."

"Master...disciple is not filial..." Mu Xuanying still leaned against the door frame and did not move. He was very aware of his current physical condition, and taking one more step would speed up the passage of life for him.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back. This time, take care of your body first, and the master will follow you in whatever you want in the future. Even if you go to the Valley of the Evil to find that little lunatic."

Years of intuition gave Xie Yuan a very bad premonition. The Mu Xuanying in front of him could not be as lively and cheerful as when he left the Haoqi League. He clearly looked like a person who was about to die.

The smile on Mu Xuanying's face grew a little more, and she committed herself to the ground in the next second.

The worrying thing still happened, Xie Yuan leaned down and called softly, "Xuanying? Xuanying? Get up and look at Master, what's going on? Xuanying?"

However, the gradually icy body never responded.

The remaining sanity was no longer enough for Mu Xuanying to speak. Lying on the cold floor, he felt that there were many people around him, and there were even some faint crying sounds.

But none of this had anything to do with him after all.

"Farewell to Haoqi League, farewell, Mo Yu."

As leaves fall back to their roots, so do people.
