Chapter 18

When the village chief came over with food, Xie Yi was gone, leaving only the boy squatting beside the waterwheel that had resumed operation, his head resting on his hands in a daze.

The clear flowing water is like beads, scattered down along the ancient runner.The village head was overjoyed, it must have been repaired, but... Where is Master Xie?

After walking forward a few steps, the village chief lowered his head and said, "Xiaofan, where is Master Xie?"

I don't want everyone to walk in front of me, but the boy named Xiaofan is still holding his hair in a daze.

"Little Sail!"

Turning up the volume, Xiaofan really came back to his senses: "Huh?" Looking up, he was shocked, "Village chief!"

The village chief is helpless, this unlucky boy.I could only ask again: "I said, where is Master Xie?"

"Let's go." The boy reacted quickly this time.

"Leaving?" The village chief was taken aback.

Xiaofan nodded: "Yes, he left with his friend. Master Xie also asked me to tell the village chief that he left."

The village head looked helplessly at the specially prepared food in his hand.Why are you in such a hurry?Their village has received help too many times, but there is no serious thank you when they look back.

I feel ashamed when I think about it.

Just now he sighed, but Xiaofan said in a puzzled tone: "Village chief."

"Ok?"

"Shouldn't it be nice to meet old friends?"

The village chief nodded: "That's natural, but why are you asking this?"

Xiaofan scratched his head: "It's nothing, it's just..." He recalled the previous scene, and always felt that after talking to that uncle, Master Xie... seemed a little unhappy.

What he doesn't know is that the so-called "unhappy" in his eyes is far more complicated than reality.

Because what Tong said was: "Xie Yi, do you want to meet your master?"

**********

The plan of the Yanjia Conference had long been forgotten by Xie Yi.When they came to the foot of Jishan Mountain where no pedestrians were, Xie Yi and Tong had nothing to say.

Xie Yi was immersed in his own world and couldn't care about anything else for a while, but Shi Shiran, the culprit, was observing Xie Yi.

Sure enough, it seemed to be the same person, but there were obvious differences.

If it was the former Xie Yi, he must have been jumping in a hurry at this time, with a troubled expression on his face.Maybe, he would be so anxious that he would mess up his hair—this is Xie Yi's frequent expression of anxiety. He was not reprimanded by Shen Ye every time, but he still remained the same after each time, which was also the result of Shen Ye's pampering.

But Xie Yi in front of him was obviously very anxious, but he didn't show it on his face.His footsteps are calm, his face is calm, he has a composure that Xie Yi doesn't have.

But in the final analysis... as long as it is about Shen Ye, Liuyue City, Xie Yi, it will only be Xie Yi.

"How, have you thought about it?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yi, who seemed calm and composed, really showed a wry smile: "It's hard for me to choose."

When this inexplicably familiar person appeared in front of him, Xie Yi felt an inexplicable shock in his heart, as if an old man was reunited after a long absence, and felt relieved; or as if he was standing on the edge of an unknown cliff, and the strong wind was issuing an early warning.

And the next moment, the person who called himself "Tong" said such a sentence.

"Xie Yi, do you want to meet your master?"

To see Master?

Obviously, he had imagined the words too many times, but when he first heard them, Xie Yi's mind went blank.Whether it's joy or sorrow, I don't know at all.

Something in my heart was clamoring for desire, and something else immediately sounded the alarm.

This is also true.It's because although Tong explained the purpose of coming, he didn't say that it came from Shen Ye's instruction.Looking at the indifferent man in front of him, Xie Yi felt that he was going to secretly take him to that unknown hometown.

He seemed to know instinctively that this was the other party's behavior habits, but there was still some desire to trust him faintly.

"Master and I will only be separated for a few days," Xie Yi said while suppressing his throbbing, "What Your Excellency said, is Master's request?"

The word "Your Excellency" was really unfamiliar, Tong raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think?"

Xie Yi remained silent, and the other party did not answer, but he understood—this is indeed not what Master meant.

Seeing Xie Yi's solemn expression, Tong Tong raised the corners of his lips slightly, as if a little pleased.

As for Xie Yi, it became more and more difficult to make a choice.Although he has had similar considerations more than once before, he will hesitate whenever he thinks of Master's deliberate concealment.

Master doesn't want him to recall everything in the past, now this great opportunity is in front of him, why not give it a try?But...he really wants to disobey Master?

If Master knew about it... Xie Yi was once again at a loss when he thought of this reason that kept him from moving forward.

Hitomi didn't intend to waste time: "If I say this is the only chance, in the future, you won't even remember who Shen Ye is. How, do you still hesitate?"

Xie Yi was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

His heart sank suddenly, but he had the worst guess.

"You don't need to address me as Your Excellency, you can just call me Tong," Tong's tone remained unchanged, "As a subordinate, I should follow orders, but as a friend, I also have my own selfishness. Just treat it as..." Tong looked at Xie Yi, whose expression had obviously changed in front of him, said silently in his heart, it should be...for Shen Ye, and for Xie Yi too.

"The only chance?" Xie Yi was a little taken aback.

"Yes."

"I...will forget everything? Again?"

"Yes."

The mountain wind passed through the layers of green trees, bringing a burst of coolness. At the foot of the mountain, Xie Yi and Tong looked at each other, and there was only silence.

It took a long time for Xie Yi to recover his voice. Unexpectedly, he smiled: "Is that what Master meant?" There was no trace of hesitation in the voice, it was free from hesitation, as if he knew it beforehand.

At this moment, Xie Yi's calmness surprised Tong Tong.It's just that the trembling sleeves betrayed his truest heart.

Sure enough... is it difficult to calm down?

"Yes." Hitomi didn't intend to hide it, "He seems to think that this is your best destination. Whether it is for him or for you."

"Really... as expected of Master..." Xie Yi smiled wryly.

The hidden worry at the beginning has finally become true.Xie Yi thought that if he started to investigate the past, Shen Ye would definitely not allow it, and once the truth was found out, he and his master would definitely not be able to return to the peaceful days of Jingshui Lake.

He just forgot, not so dull that he lost the ability to think.

Intersect because of the past, but he is not allowed to recall every bit of the past.His past, Master's past, do we still need to speak clearly?

Hitomi didn't know whether to sigh: "Aren't you curious?"

Xie Yi looked at the bright sky above, but his eyes were blank: "I was just thinking about what I did and what mistakes I made in the past, so that..."

Even a chance to know, even a chance to redeem, Master is unwilling to leave him.
