Looking to the Thirteen Rivers

The lights are bright, the sky is full of snow, and the voices of people around are blurred in an instant, only Man Jiangxue's words echoed in his heart for a long time.

Yin Qiu was stunned for a moment, then said incredulously, "My...birthday?"

Man Jiangxue smiled, stroked Yin Qiu's cheek affectionately, and said, "Why, you don't remember?"

Yin Qiu really didn't remember.

Since childhood, she had no parents, no relatives and friends. She only vaguely remembered that someone said that she was born in winter. As long as the cold winter is over and spring begins, she will be one year older. But when is the specific date of birth, Yin Qiu It was never clear.

No wonder Man Jiangxue took her down the mountain today and treated her so well, so it was because of this.

Yin Qiu suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She stared back at Man Jiangxue in a daze, feeling sour in her heart.

To this day, no one has ever remembered her birthday, even Yin Qiu herself didn't take it seriously, but she never thought that Man Jiangxue would take this matter to heart, and even took time to spend a whole day with her.

During this period of time, Man Jiangxue was busy with official business, so she didn't often come to see her in the disciple's courtyard, but even so, she still thought about Yin Qiu all the time. Although she never cared about Yin Qiu too much in words, she did it silently. All of this is just to make Yin Qiu happy.

Looking at Man Jiangxue's unconcealable fatigue, Yin Qiu couldn't hold back the redness of his eyes, buried his head in Man Jiangxue's arms, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, uncle..."

"Thank you, uncle should take care of you." Man Jiangxue said, reaching out to touch Yin Qiu's face, but it was wet.

"Why are you crying?"

Yin Qiu was speechless.

"Don't cry, you should be happy." Man Jiangxue looked down at her.

Yin Qiu hurriedly wiped away her tears, raised her head and said, "I'm so happy, that's why I'm crying." She took a few breaths, and then said, "Master said, this is called... this is called weeping with joy."

Man Jiangxue smiled and said: "It seems that reading the book for a few days is still useful."

Yin Qiu lowered his eyes with tears in his eyes, and said, "Master Uncle is so kind."

Man Jiangxue said: "It's just a matter of duty, if the senior sister is still there, she will be the same as me, maybe she will yell at you!

Mentioning mother, Yin Qiu's expression darkened, and he said, "Today is not only my birthday, but also the day when my parents had an accident."

Man Jiangxue observed her expression and asked, "Then do you want to go to Ruyi Gate?"

Yin Qiu said, "Is it possible?"

"Yes," Man Jiangxue said, "Before I came, I said that I would take you somewhere. You are already like this, so you should go home and take a look, but if you don't want to, it doesn't matter."

She used the word "home", which made Yin Qiu confused.

If nothing had happened back then, Yin Qiu would have been a descendant of the Ruyi Sect. No matter what, he would be well-clothed and well-fed, without having to suffer for so many years.

It's just that the family is gone now, and her parents are gone. Yin Qiu is not from a famous family, but just an ordinary Yunhua Palace disciple. Looking around, Man Jiangxue is her only relative in this world.

"I want to go back," Yin Qiu said, "It's good to have a look."

"It's getting late today," Man Jiangxue took her hand, "Stay in the city for one night, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow."

Yin Qiu replied "Yes".

·

The former site of Ruyi Gate was built in Liucang Mountain, located in Liaoping County. It takes only a few days to walk around the path.

Resting at the inn for one night, Yin Qiu was woken up by Man Jiangxue before dawn on the second day, and got into the carriage in a daze.

Returning to the mountain road after a few days, there is such dense snowfall and mountain forest again, Yin Qiu recalled the days since he met Man Jiangxue, and thought about where he was going this time. boring.

The carriage is naturally much more comfortable than riding a horse. It is isolated from the wind and snow, and accompanied by the river full of snow. Yin Qiu sleeps in the carriage every day. When he is tired, he gets out of the carriage and walks around. During the period, he did not forget to endorse He Lianjian, after all, is free from restraint outside the palace, and there is a river full of snow playing and playing. On the day of arriving at Liucang Mountain, the heaviness in Yin Qiu's heart has long since disappeared, and his mood has become It becomes clear.

The horse went round and round in the mountains, and led the two into the high mountains and deep forests. Yin Qiu opened the curtain of the car, and saw the red maples all over the mountains and fields, as beautiful as fire. ,Here we are."

Man Jiangxue tightened the reins, carried Yin Qiu out of the car, and said: "This place has been abandoned for a long time, and there are no tea shops, inns, or places to stay. Just take a look, and there is no need to waste time."

Yin Qiu nodded obediently, and was led forward by Man Jiangxue.

After passing through many maple forests, both of them were covered with a lot of broken snow. Yin Qiu was not resistant to cold, and felt cold in limbs after walking for a while. Man Jiangxue picked her up and hung her on his shoulders, wrapped Yin Qiu in a brocade robe. .

Without the cover of the warm red maple, the scenery in front of me gradually became desolate. The stone steps were scattered with dead branches and leaves, and piled up with dirty silt. There was a "squeak" sound, and the half-hanging plaque was skewed at the door, covered with dust, and only a few outlines of the words "Ruyimen" could be seen.

There was an old smell in the air, like the lingering gunpowder smoke, mixed with the faint blood, diluted by the snowstorm in the deep winter, it smelled very strange, Yin Qiu was fascinated by the smell Coughing from choking, when she looked up again, Man Jiangxue had carried her into the mountain gate, saw the scene inside, Yin Qiu couldn't help opening her eyes.

Along the way, Yin Qiu had imagined what the Ruyi Gate would look like several times, but he never expected that it would be so dilapidated that there was not even a complete house. Scattered charred wood and waste soil were piled under the thick snow, like lonely graveyards, which made people feel desolate.

"How did it become like this?" Yin Qiu's eyes were shocked, and his voice seemed a little weak in the wind.

"Ten years go by in a blink of an eye," Man Jiangxue looked around, "It is rare to be able to survive one brick and one tile."

Yin Qiu broke away from Man Jiangxue's arms and jumped to the ground. She rushed to the ruins and looked around.

"Senior sister set the fire with her own hands." Man Jiangxue followed Yin Qiu, "Not only the buildings, but also the corpses of other people were burnt beyond recognition."

"Why did she do this?" Yin Qiu turned around.

"I don't know," Man Jiangxue said, "When I arrived, Liucang Mountain was already on fire. The senior sister was standing in front of the hall in blood. No matter what I asked her, she just shook her head. Afterwards, she disappeared without a word. I can't see it, I can't find it no matter what, and there is no news until now."

Yin Qiu didn't speak, just stood there in a daze.

This was supposed to be her home, but it has become the dilapidated scene now. As far as the eye can see, there are traces of fighting and burning everywhere. On the ground, the whining wind sounded like the cry of a dying person.

It was here that the parents had an accident, and all the relatives died here, leaving him alone. Thinking of this, Yin Qiu couldn't help showing a little sadness on his face.

After a long time, she raised her head and asked, "Why did the Ziwei Sect attack Ruyimen?"

Man Jiangxue looked ahead and said quietly: "In the past, Ruyimen's status in Jianghu was second only to Yunhua Palace. Because of the relationship between the senior sisters, the friendship between the two factions has deepened day by day, and they have become enemies of Ziwei Sect. After all, the foundation of the palace is stable, and it is not easy to overthrow it. If the Ziwei sect wants to win the world, it must first destroy the wishful door."

Just to consolidate the position in the sect, Yin Qiu felt his chest rise and fall, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

Yinqiu has heard a lot of grievances and hatreds in the Jianghu since she was a child, but they are all other people's affairs. At most, she just listens to them as stories and doesn't have much experience. With the scene of Ruyi Gate, Yin Qiu has a new understanding of the so-called disputes between Jianghu and Jianghu.

Ever since he learned the story of his father and mother, because he had never experienced it himself, Yin Qiu could never bring these bloody things to himself. Now, she has always felt that the old things are too far away from her, and she can't feel it┥塎

But the scene in front of her was so tragic, Yin Qiu looked at those burnt houses, and it seemed that the scene of the year appeared in front of her eyes. She was born here and left here. Returning to the homeland, but heaven and man are separated and never see each other.

Everything was taught by Ziwei.

Yin Qiu clenched his fists subconsciously, and suddenly thought of something, while looking around, he asked, "What about those dead people? Why isn't there a single corpse?"

How many bones should there be?But in ten years, it will not be turned into dust, but here is deserted, and there is not a single person in sight.

Man Jiangxue looked at her, and replied: "They were all buried in the back mountain, why?"

Yin Qiu said: "My father died here, I want to see his grave."

Man Jiangxue paused and said, "There is no grave."

"There is no grave?" Yin Qiu was surprised at first, and then thought that his father is a member of the Ziwei Sect. He is a sinner, and he is afraid that he will be hacked to pieces after death. How can there be a grave?

Xu Shi could see what she was thinking, and Man Jiangxue explained: "In the fire back then, everything that could be burned was burned, and everyone was turned into coke. They couldn't recognize who was who, so they were all buried. mountain grave."

Yin Qiu was stunned for a while, then asked again: "How to get to the back mountain?"

Man Jiangxue took her shoulders and said, "Come with me."

The two leaped through the forest, and soon came to a deserted forest at the back of the mountain. The grave in the middle had already become flat with the passage of time, and the original appearance could not be seen. There was only a desolate wooden sign standing on the ground. , the handwriting on it is also illegible.

"Everyone is here," Man Jiangxue said, "Because the corpses were burned by the fire, I couldn't tell the people from Ruyimen and Ziwei Sect, so they all gathered into the ground together."

Yin Qiu looked at the wooden sign, unable to speak for a long time.

After a long time, Yin Qiu said in a low voice: "My father is a bad person."

Before Man Jiangxue could reply, she turned her head and said softly, "My mother is not much better."

Man Jiangxue was silent for a while, and replied: "You can't say that. Senior sister suffered a sudden disaster, which is hard to accept. Anyone would not know how to deal with it. She must have some unspeakable secrets to leave."

Yin Qiu, however, shook his head: "Master, you don't need to comfort me. I know it in my heart. She must hate my father so much that she doesn't want me anymore. You told me before that my mother only wants to be a good mother. That being the case, she didn't bother to leave me behind, she must have thought that I was my father's flesh and blood, so she hated me."

Hearing this, Man Jiangxue was silent again.

In fact, not only Yin Qiu, but also many outsiders have speculated about this kind of rhetoric. After all, the child has just been born, and no matter how cruel the mother is, she cannot abandon it. Even if she is temporarily blinded by hatred, she should find the child back That's right, but Shen Mandong never came back, and disappeared from the world.

Yao Wei Chi Oyong Dong fought bloody battles for her family back then, but she obviously did not reach the point of despair. She knew what she should do, but she finally chose to set fire to the mountain and leave quietly, even though ten years had passed. It's been a long time, but Shen Mandong is very likely to be alive, she may just go away and disappear from the world.

But in this way, she has been reluctant to show up for a long time, and even the news that Yin Qiu was found has spread all over the world, but she has not seen her.

Seeing Yin Qiu, one would think of the infatuation, the wrong payment, and the tragic death of the family. Only by not meeting her, can these hatreds be avoided as much as possible.

Although no one can tell what the reason behind it is, but after thinking about it, a more reliable conclusion can be drawn.

The wind blew through the maple forest in Manmanshan Mountain, and there was a sound of swaying branches and leaves. Yin Qiu turned his head, looked at the red maples that were like mist and smoke, and said softly: "It seems that the maple trees here are the same. .”

Man Jiangxue followed her gaze.

"What do you think, Master?" Yin Qiu said, "Where are the maple trees in Liucang Mountain and Jingyue Peak?

Man Jiangxue said: "Naturally it is Liucang Mountain."

"Is that the beauty of Liucang Mountain today, or the beauty of the past?" Yin Qiu asked again.

Man Jiangxue looked at her, paused a little and said, "Dumei."

Yin Qiu remained silent, and said after a long time: "But I still like Jingyue Peak more..." After she finished speaking, she smiled at Man Jiangxue, "Going back?"

Man Jiangxue gave a "hmm" and lightly stroked Yin Qiu's head with her palm, and then the two held hands and walked on the way they came.

·

"That's Uncle Shen's daughter?" Between the branches and leaves, there was a ten-year-old girl hiding in the maple forest, watching the two figures that were drifting away.

A faint medicinal fragrance suddenly spread in the air, and a purple figure suddenly appeared among the lingering red maples.

"is her."

The little girl raised her hand to build a tent on the brow bone, and smiled happily: "I didn't dare to show my anger just now, and I didn't see it clearly, but I looked really pretty in the blink of an eye." She turned her face slightly and looked at The person behind asked, "Does she look alike to Master Shen?"

The woman in purple said: "Like," she paused, "but those eyes, Yo Chuxuan."

The little girl said "ah": "It's a pity, eyes are so important, a pair of beautiful eyes is more useful than anything else, why did you just follow the appearance of that villain?"

The woman in purple said: "Man Dong was harmed by those eyes back then."

The little girl stood up, pulled the woman in purple by the sleeve and said, "Then when can we go see her?"

"When the time is right."

"When was that?"

"Maybe one year or two, maybe five years or ten years."

The little girl covered her mouth: "So long? But I can't wait any longer. I want to be friends with her."

The woman in purple said, "She doesn't lack you as a friend now."

The little girl snorted: "I asked you to send me to Yunhua Palace a long time ago? You must not. Did you see her reaction just now? How sad, she must feel that she is a relative in this world. there is none left."

The woman in purple was silent.

The little girl chattered: "But we rescued that Lu Huaiwei last time, Yin Qiu should have heard of us, and when we meet her in the future, she must be very happy and know that we have been paying attention to her secretly."

The woman in purple said: "Whether you can get to know each other sooner or not depends on your senior sister's ability."

The little girl pursed her lips, her face full of displeasure: "Senior sister is not as good as me, she can't even beat me, so how can she protect Yin Qiu? I don't like her because I want to expose the true face of that bad guy."

"It's the head that counts," said the woman in purple, "not the kung fu."

"You mean I'm brainless?" The little girl immediately put her hands on her hips.

The purple-clothed woman smiled, but walked in without answering this question.

"Hey, wait for me..." The little girl hurriedly followed her figure, walked a few steps and then looked back. Seeing that Yin Qiu and Man Jiangxue had disappeared, she looked away again, bouncing around overtook the person ahead.

The author has something to say: There was almost a big problem, the draft box was set to tomorrow's time, and my golden nine o'clock file was messed up.

Come on!

I didn't expect there to be a little angel who was watching and chasing the text, woo woo woo I was so touched.
