Sunny Vientiane

The weather is urging, the winter solstice and the spring are coming again.

Only when the ice and snow on the top of Qingshan Mountain completely melt can it be regarded as spring. It just so happens that this year’s vernal equinox is a little later than usual, just in time for the day when the ice and snow melt.After the coldness faded, the green hills and even the mountain wind brought some warmth, blowing away the chills of the past few days, and being woken up by chirping magpies every morning.

Jiang Qianqian pushed open the door, stood under the light of the morning sun, and exhaled deeply.She subconsciously glanced at the closed door on the left, secretly stopped her steps in that direction, and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

Maybe it was something on her mind, Jiang Qianqian didn't notice when she left the room, the dust accumulated all winter on the closed door on her left side was less.After a while, a slender figure came out of the room, carefully closed the door, finally looked up at the blue sky, turned and left.

During Jiang Qianqian's coma, Li Bai tried every means to wake her up.But what she didn't expect was that not everyone greeted her.Jianghu told her that Xin Yueming fell into the rift valley and there was no news.She didn't believe it, so Jiang Shuihan insisted on taking her to the Rift Valley to have a look.

Jianghu didn't allow her because she was not fully recovered, so she could only obediently stay in Qingshan to recuperate her injuries, drank dark and bitter medicinal soup every day, and practiced walking and stretching.Until today, just over three years after Xin Yueming fell into the rift, Jianghu finally agreed with Jiang Shuihan to take her to Guiyanlin.

Last night Libai bid farewell to Jianghu, and was about to pack his bags and leave Qingshan to return to his master.Before leaving, he planned to go to Guiyanlin with Jiang Qianqian to bid farewell to Xin Yueming.

In the evening, Jianghu was drunk, and he specially asked Li Bai to take good care of his master, and he kept on talking about it for hours without repeating anything.This meticulous skill even Jiang Qianqian, who has always regarded herself as an old mother, is ashamed of herself, and Li Bai, who was instructed, even showed a callused expression.

"Uncle." Li Bai couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Wouldn't it be better for you to go and tell her to take care of your health?" Jianghu must be very happy to visit her in person.Although, he may not be happy.

Unexpectedly, there was a gloomy look on Jianghu's flushed face, and he shook his head and said, "If I say it, it will only cause unnecessary worries, and I don't want her to bother."

Li Bai still wanted to say something, but was stopped by the silent Jiang Shuihan, he opened his mouth, and had to swallow all the words of persuasion from the bottom of his heart.It wasn't until Jiang Tianyi helped Jiang Hu back to the room that several people found out that they actually drank most of the night with Jiang Hu.Worried that Jiang Qianqian would not be able to rest well, Jiang Tianyi and Jiang Shuihan forced Jiang Qianqian back to the room to sleep on the grounds that Jiang Qianqian would not be allowed to return to Yanlin if he did not sleep.

Walking forward along the path under the tree with a little morning light, Jiang Qianqian raised his eyes and saw Li Cypress waiting by the big tree on the roadside. He was standing under the shade with a package on his back, thinking about something.

"The cypress."

Hearing the sound, Li Bai nodded to Jiang Qianqian, "I've already packed it."

"Okay. Wait a moment, I'm going to get something to go."

Just about to enter the kitchen, a figure came not far away, smiled at her and Li Bai, and said as usual, "Good morning."

"Senior brother three." Jiang Qianqian felt a little pain in her heart, she tried her best to hold back, and instead smiled, "Did you sleep well last night?"

"kindness."

Jiang Shuihan glanced at the kitchen behind her, showed a clear expression, and said calmly, "I'll wait for you."

Seeing Jiang Qianqian's figure disappear, Li Bai said coldly to Jiang Shui beside him, "She likes you."

"kindness."

"Who knows." Li Bai looked at Jiang Shuihan and smiled, as if thinking of something, he suddenly stopped talking, his eyes dimmed a lot, and sighed, "I hope she can think about it."

Jiang Shuihan's eyebrows moved, and his whole face finally became more angry. He lowered his head to look at the ground, and said softly, "Actually, she has already figured it out."

"But the reluctance in my heart can't be cut off."

Li Bai smiled wryly, and the shoulders leaning on the big tree suddenly collapsed, as if the spirit had been taken away from him, and he could no longer stand up.He was not only sad for Jiang Qianqian, but also for himself.

"As long as you think clearly, you will be able to give up one day."

Li Bai asked back, "What about you?"

Jiang Shuihan raised the corners of his lips to show a smile. Although he was deeply helpless and sad, Li Bai could tell that his eyes were as bright as the stars, "I am just reluctant to give up to Qianqian, but he is very reluctant to give up to Qianqian." For me, it’s everything, and I can’t give up even if I think about it clearly.”

"Master once gave up everything for the uncle, and wanted to go back to the mountains with him." Li Bai followed Jiang Shuihan and looked up at the sky, the blue was a little dazzling, "But the uncle is unwilling, he can't let the Xiaoyao faction die in his hands, Because he is the only one in their generation who has learned the true meaning of happiness."

He couldn't help but sneered and said, "Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao? In the end, he still built a cage for himself and locked himself tightly in this deep mountain."

"Happy." Jiang Shuihan didn't answer directly, but whispered, "That's possible, I won't be able to do it in my life."

As the spring breeze blew, the light spots on the ground moved slightly, and Jiang Shui's eyes, as cold as jade, also flickered in the light and darkness.All along Li Bai always felt that there was some change in Jiang Shuihan, but he couldn't explain clearly. It was only at this moment that Li Bai really saw what was missing in his eyes.

"What are you talking about?"

Jiang Qianqian walked out the door carrying the steaming food box, and smiled at the two of them, "Let's go."

It only took half a day to go from Qingshan to Guiyanlin. Jiang Qianqian made Xin Yueming's favorite braised pork on purpose.The three of them walked through layers of dense forest and finally came to the edge of the rift valley.Although he hadn't been here for a while, in Jiang Shuihan's eyes, this place was different from before.

Jiang Shuihan stood on the edge of the crack and looked down. As always, he couldn't see the bottom. There was only a vast mist, which isolated the unfathomable bottom of the valley from the world.He stepped back quietly, watching Jiang Qianqian put the plate on the ground with Li Bai, serious and sad.

"Little brother, I used to think that we would be separated when we grow up, but I never thought that you would leave me in this way." Jiang Qianqian simply sat down on the ground, fiddling with the incense candle in her hand, muttering, "Although the two of us often quarrel and you like to bully me, I know that you care about me very much. I have something on my mind, so I only dare to tell you."

The circles of her eyes gradually turned red, but she held back her tears, "It's all my fault that I insisted on wandering around in other people's homes and meddling in other people's affairs. Brother, you are so courageous, you dare to negotiate with the Xiao family." , and asked for a garden for me. At that time, you must have been very sad when you knew that something happened to me. "

"It's like I am now." Jiang Qianqian's voice trembled slightly, but she forced her eyes to look up at the sky. "I am really uncomfortable now. I have something on my mind in the future, who should I tell? Why, why are you unwilling to wait?" What about waiting for me?"

"Oh." She sighed deeply, forcing back all the tears, all the thoughts in her heart finally turned into one sentence, "Little brother, I miss you very much."

Li Bai squatted down, took a stick of incense from Jiang Qianqian's hand, lit it, and casually shook it towards the sky a few times, "Brother, although we didn't grow up, and we didn't experience any big storms and waves together, we can help each other, but at least we are together." I chatted around the fire, drank tea and wine and talked about the relationship between my heart, I regretted not being able to stop you at that time, but I don’t know, do you regret it.”

He put the incense on the mound in front of the braised pork, remained silent for a long time, and said, "But it's okay if you don't regret it later, don't be so impulsive in the future, think about other people, look at you, how many people have made for you sad."

After Li Bai finished this series of actions, he turned his head to look at Jiang Shuihan, and asked, "Aren't you going to talk to him?"

Jiang Shuihan looked at Tianzhu for a while before saying, "What should be said, what I want to say, has been said before."

"Okay." Li Bai nodded, brushed off the dust on his body, picked up the bag on the side and turned around, "I should go, and we will see you later." After finishing speaking, he left along the way he came, and soon, the figure Then disappeared in the dense forest.

"We should go too."

Jiang Qianqian was taken aback, looked up at Jiang Shuihan and asked, "So fast?"

"How about I stay here with you for a while longer?" Jiang Shuihan squatted down, turned his face and asked her, "It's getting late, and the mountain road is not easy to walk when it's dark." In fact, if he wasn't worried about Jiang Qianqian's safety, he Would love to stay here.

"Then let's go." Jiang Qianqian smiled at him, held his hand and stood up, and looked at the Rift Valley seriously again, "Goodbye, little brother."

After the two left, the rift valley, which was already inaccessible, became more and more desolate.On the bare ground, the braised pork made by Jiang Qianqian still exudes a lingering fragrance, slowly drifting around in the gentle spring breeze, and soon attracts all kinds of peepers.

A vulture attracted by the smell of meat stared at the braised pork and thought about it. It first landed carefully on a tree not far away, making sure that there were no competitors around, and then carefully landed on the ground.Just as he was about to move closer, he noticed a slight vibration in the rift valley, and immediately flapped his wings vigilantly to rise into the sky.But it still didn't give up, it kept circling in this area, with green light in its eyes.

First, a strange package was thrown up, which almost knocked Jiang Qianqian's incense stick on the ground, and fell to the ground, causing a cloud of dust.Then there was a strange sound of falling stones in the rift, as if someone was sliding between the cliffs.The vulture's green eyes stared at the opponent who came to argue with it, secretly catching the opponent's actions, so as to prevent itself from being disadvantaged in the following actions.

"Hey, what are you still doing there? Come up."

Panting heavily, Ding Feng took the lead to climb to the top, stood beside the package, and looked down strangely at Xin Yueming who was walking slowly on the cliff with Mu Xi on his back.Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he saw Mu Xi holding a stone in his hand and throwing it at his head, which made him turn his head away in fright.Just when he was about to say something, he heard a tragic howl behind him, and he looked back.

It turned out that a vulture was hit on the head by a wooden stone, and it was nestling on the ground trembling.It is estimated that he was hit with a concussion, and his sharp eyes became out of focus.

"Okay, let me tell you why you kid doesn't seem to be using all your strength. It turned out that you deliberately slowed me down when you saw this vulture." Ding Feng stared fiercely at Xin Yueming who had easily climbed to the top, and Mu Mu who turned his head and laughed secretly. Xi, "And you stinky girl, if I didn't hide in time, I would have been smashed into such a bird by you!"

Mu Xi picked up the package, and even gave him a stingy look, "If it wasn't for my help, wouldn't you be pecked into a bald man? Do you want to be smashed like a bird, or be pecked into a bald man?"

"Is there a third option?"

Mu Xi didn't answer, but Xin Yueming glanced at him unexpectedly, and asked, "I didn't expect you to want both. No matter how greedy people are, they can't be as greedy as you." He sighed again in a low voice. , "I have seen stupid ones, but I have never seen such stupid ones."

"You two."

Ding Feng pointed at the two people who were singing and singing together, speechless for a long time, his fingers trembling in the spring breeze.

Seeing his appearance, Xin Yueming couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Oh, it's okay, epilepsy can be cured, but it's just stupidity that can't be cured."

"Okay, don't be silly." Mu Xi glanced at the incense and braised pork on the ground, then looked at Xin Yueming and said, "It seems that your senior brother treats you well, and even gave you braised pork."

"Oh, they still remember my favorite food." Xin Yueming was about to squat down, but the conversation stopped suddenly, and he was silent for a long time.

Mu Xi looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xin Yueming squatted in front of the incense burner, with her back to Mu Xi and Ding Feng, stared at the braised pork for a long while before saying, "It's all right."

Since he said it was all right, Mu Xi didn't bother to bother, "Clean up, some things can be left behind."

"Ah?" Ding Feng's furious voice came from behind, "Then you still make me carry so much!"

"Take it as exercise." Mu Xi said lightly, "Look at you these days, you are as thin as ribs, you must be sleeping in every day."

"Who said that?! It's not that you always instruct me to run up and down to buy things!"

He could no longer hear the bickering of the two people behind him, and Xin Yueming's eye circles were reddish, but she didn't dislike it, she just reached out and stuffed the braised pork into her mouth.

"Why do you eat this?!" Dingfeng's fussy voice came from behind, "You still eat it secretly, so shameless."

Xin Yueming was almost choked, and finally swallowed it. He didn't turn his head and said, "It was made for me to eat. If I don't eat it, it's just for God or some lonely ghost?"

"Okay, you are always right."

Since Xin Yueming couldn't be said all the time, Ding Feng didn't bother to say anything more, so he obediently packed his luggage.

Mu Xi came over and squatted beside Xin Yueming, and asked, "Do you want to go back and meet them?"

Xin Yueming glanced at her in surprise, "Is it okay?"

"Well, you just go."

Unexpectedly, Xin Yueming shook his head and said, "No, I'll go with you."

Mu Xi stared blankly at his side face for a while, then looked away and nodded, "That's fine."

Although Mu Xi and Xin Yueming couldn't be compared, Ding Feng's work efficiency was still very high. When the three of them walked out of the dense forest, they saw a carriage parked by the side of the road.For Xin Yueming, revisiting the old place is not enough to describe his mood. Whether it was the panic and panic when he was avoiding Qi Shu and the white crow, or the despair and palpitation when he fell to the bottom of the valley, they all disappeared without a trace at this moment. trace.

Before, the dense forest was not narrow enough for walking, but when Xin Yueming walked out, she realized that because people often walked, a path had formed in the dense forest.He has seen Dingfeng's qinggong, and he also knows that in order not to let others find out, Dingfeng will not leave traces casually when going back and forth.

Thinking of this, his eyes darkened a little, but he didn't say anything, let alone asked to go back to Qingshan.Noticing his emotional changes, Mu Xi and Ding Feng kept silent all the way, not daring to disturb him at will.

The three went south all the way, Xin Yueming looked at the scenery along the way and didn't ask their destination, but the few words made people think he was dumb.Ding Feng seemed to want to avoid someone, he disguised himself the whole time, for fear that someone would recognize him.The most normal one was Mu Xi, or it should be said that there was nothing unusual about her paralyzed face.

Lilacs bloom in May, and Xin Yueming finally arrives in Jiangnan, where she has been away for three years, amidst the sweet fragrance of flowers.

The author has something to say:

Are these transitions?I suddenly found that I really like this kind of routine of falling down and climbing up again.
