The Endless

The sun was not glaring, the delicate and pale face of the child in sackcloth was covered with sweat from the pain, his arm was almost pierced by the canine teeth, and the blood kept flowing on its own, he clenched his teeth and remained silent.

In early spring, the grass and trees are born, and the spring forests are in full bloom.He covered the wound on his arm and walked up the mountain. If he was lucky, he should be able to find herbs to stop the bleeding.

After finally applying the green juice to the wound, the severe pain from the wound made him almost faint.The trees are lush and lush, covering the sky and the sun, and you can only see the scattered gold in the gaps between the leaves, but you can't tell the specific time.

Just as I was about to go down the mountain, I suddenly caught a glimpse of a white snow lotus quietly blooming on the rugged part of the cliff.He licked his lips, his eyes were full of excitement, he must be very happy to get such a precious herb and give it to Mr. Pu Wusu.

The toddler's body was weak and petite, and half of his body leaned down the cliff, but he was still half an arm's length away.The child gritted his teeth, and leaned down a little more, but at this time, due to excessive blood loss, his eyes suddenly went dark, and his whole body fell down uncontrollably.

"Ah!" The sharp cry startled the birds in the forest, flapping their wings and flying away.

"never mind."

Hearing the gentle voice, the child opened his eyes, and realized that he was hugged in his arms.He raised his eyes and looked up from the man's snow-white clothes. He had a snowy complexion and a beautiful face, and he was stunned for a moment by his good looks.

Lin Wu put down the toddler in his arms, "Scared?"

The boy shook his head and opened his mouth. He had never seen such a good-looking person before, his face was a little red for no reason, and his voice was a little cautious, "Thank you for saving your life. My name is Cui Jiangzhi."

Lin Wu handed him the snow lotus in his hand, "Go back."

"Ah?" Cui Jiangzhi took the snow lotus that almost killed him in a daze.

"Don't do such dangerous things in the future. I saved you once, but I may not be able to save you a second time."

His indifferent eyes fell on Cui Jiangzhi, he bit his lip, feeling aggrieved for no reason, "I know."

Lin Wu nodded, and when he turned to leave, he heard the child's nervous voice, "Can I still come to you in the future?" He thought for a while, finally nodded, and disappeared into the dense forest in a few steps.

Cui Jiangzhi clenched his fists by his side and murmured in a low voice, "I will really come back to find you."

When he went back in the evening, he was scolded by Cui Malin, but Cui Jiangzhi was still very happy. Master Pu Wu led him to touch his hair, and Qingzhao's younger sister specially brought him pastries.

The days went on smoothly, Cui Jiangzhi would go to the mountain every two days to find the benefactor who saved his life.There was a huge difference in temperature between day and night on the mountain. He shivered from the cold and fell asleep without knowing it. When he woke up, he found that he was wearing a snow-white coat.

Every time Cui Jiangzhi goes up the mountain, he always brings something, sometimes it is the plum cake that the master rewarded him, sometimes it is some worthless gadgets, he always wants to leave the best things to this person whom he has only met once. An unknown benefactor.Even if this person can't touch these things at all, he thought, the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, this is the basic of being a human being. "

"Hello! Benefactor, are you there?" There was only his own echo in the forest, and Cui Jiangzhi put his hand on his mouth to increase the volume.

Cui Jiangzhi was not discouraged when he heard no reply, he was used to it anyway.He looked at the wine in his hand, and his eyes were still a little disappointed, "Benefactor, I brought you wine, and I don't know if you like it or not. By the way, today is my birthday, can you come out to see me?" What?" After the second half of the sentence, his voice dropped.

He looked down at the soil under his toes, and the scent of flowers in the air made him almost breathless.He closed his eyes and listened to the forest, the wind passing through the treetops, the sound of leaves falling and branches swaying everywhere, except for the chirping of mountain birds, he could even hear deer or other animals gnawing on the bark. sound.

Slowly opening his eyes, what he saw was pure whiteness, and when he looked up, he saw that face that was not like what a mortal world should have.Then came the sudden surprise "Benefactor!"

"My name is Jiuyueling." Jiuyueling, the spirit fox spirit beast that had guarded Mount Jiris for thousands of years, died a tragic death because of a human woman who ruined the thousand-year-old Taoism.From life to death, from death to life, now that Lin Wu took over this body, he couldn't fundamentally change anything.

"Jiuyueling." Cui Jiangzhi read it in a low voice.

"En." Lin Wu looked at the red beads on Cui Jiangzhi's wrist, and then asked, "Since today is your birthday, what do you want?"

Cui Jiangzhi shook his head, "No, no." After speaking, he stared at Lin Wu, his eyes were black and white, and he was a little nervous in anticipation.

Lin Wu thought for a while, "Follow me."

Cui Jiangzhi followed step by step, his eyes were full of the white figure of the person in front of him and the long hair like splashed ink.

"arrive."

Cui Jiangzhi stopped in his tracks. At this time, the sun had slanted westward for more than half of the day, and there was still a little afterglow falling on Jiri Mountain. It was already sunset, and it would be night in a while.He stood quietly, watching the clothes of the man in white being blown by the evening wind.

Night finally fell, and there was the clear sound of insects in my ears.Then the grass in front of me gradually lit up, and there were dots of fluorescent light rising slowly, like falling stars.

Cui Jiangzhi's eyes widened, "It's a firefly!"

He turned his head to look at Jiuyueling beside him, who raised his eyes and looked into the distance, with the corners of his lips slightly raised, with a slight smile.His entire face was blurred in the dark green fireflies, and it was strangely magnificent. Cui Jiangzhi, who was still young, stared blankly, unable to move his eyes.

"Come here if you want to find me in the future."

Then Lin Wu let the child accompany him day after day and year after year to watch the unchanging sunset and the distant fireflies, let the child change from an ignorant child to a lush youth and then to a handsome youth The seeds of unethical in his heart took root and germinated, became luxuriant and then became a towering tree.

"Why is there no marriage again? Am I so unlucky that no one likes it?" Tan Ruwei, who was dressed in men's clothing, sighed, no matter how many marriages were counted, this is the result.

"Not at all."

"Oh? What do you mean by that?" Tan Ruwei regained his spirit immediately.

"You have a marriage that must be avoided. You will meet under a peach tree, and there will be a full moon in the sky. You must avoid the person you meet at that time."

"Fortune teller, what if I don't avoid it?"

"I will die. Either you die, or he dies." Su Zheng, who was wearing a Taoist robe, had gray temples, and the words he said also had a sense of fate and vicissitudes.

Tan Ruwei lowered her eyes, and when she looked up again, the fortune teller had disappeared.She was a little startled, this fortune teller was a little unusual. "Kun, did you see that old fortune teller leave?"

Kun stood with a sword in his hand, his stern face was full of alienation, and only when he saw Tan Ruwei did he feel warm, "Miss, don't be obsessed with this matter, let's go to work quickly."

Tan Ruwei was about to nod her head when she saw a man in his twenties raised his eyebrows and kicked several men a few times. The people around him moved away and formed a circle with them. The man pursed his lips, "Hey, you guys Hurry up and call out the money!"

"Hey, Cui Jiangzhi, you, what are you doing? We don't violate the river water." The gangster leader Ma Feng's voice trembled, obviously he was a little scared of being beaten.

"Don't talk nonsense, just hand it over if you tell me! If you don't take the initiative, I will search it myself, do you hear me!"

The gangsters looked at each other, reluctantly paying for it.

"I said ALL! ALL!"

The gangsters gritted their teeth and didn't dare to play tricks. They took out all the money they had on them, then glared angrily at the crowd watching the excitement around them, and ran away.

"Okay. Everyone is queuing up to distribute the money." Cui Jiangzhi picked up the money with a smile, and rubbed his nose embarrassedly when he heard the praise from everyone.

Tan Ruwei also laughed, "So he is Cui Jiangzhi."

Seeing Tan Ruwei's smile, Kun frowned.

"Not a bad guy."

"My lord thinks so too?" Tan Ruwei clasped her fists together.

"Well, it's a rare talent." The man in the black hat and official clothes smiled and stroked his beard. "Go, stay at the Century Inn."

Tan Ruwei and Kun both clasped their fists together, "We will not disgrace your mission."
