On the morning of her birthday the next day, Nanny Zhang cooked red eggs and plain noodles for Shu Qingwan, and told her to stay honestly in the courtyard after eating. Run around at will.

But Shu Qingwan took a red egg and climbed over the wall to leave the manor house while Nanny Zhang was away.

She originally wanted to wait until today to express her heart to Ruan Lianyi, but when Ruan Lianyi sent her back yesterday evening, she couldn't help but vaccinate Ruan Lianyi in advance, telling her that today is her birthday, To tell her a secret.

When Ruan Lianyi was about to leave, she repeatedly asked the other party to come earlier for today's appointment, and Ruan Lianyi also agreed with a smile.

For this reason, Shu Qingwan specially combed her hair into a nice bun and wore newer clothes. On the way to the woods, she even picked a plum blossom that just bloomed in winter, crushed it and squeezed out the juice to make lip balm. , apply thinly on your lips.

That's what Zhang Momo taught her. Every winter on her birthday, Zhang Momo would pick one of the reddest plum blossoms, squeeze out the juice and put it on her forehead, saying that only in this way would she have the appearance of her birthday.

She only thought of it when she passed the plum tree on the road, and then she thought of the female pilgrims of Dongyun Temple that she usually saw. They looked so pretty with rouge on their mouths.

So she picked one temporarily, and wanted to let the person she likes see her beautiful appearance.

Today's wind is a bit extra cold for some reason, but Shu Qingwan's heart is warm.

The sky is covered with thin velvet snow, covering the whole land like thin feathers, and it is full of snow everywhere.Because of the cover of branches and leaves in the woods, there are only a few snow blocks scattered on the ground that have not yet melted.

Shu Qingwan sat under the big tree by the side of the road, looked at the location of the trap not far away where no trace had been seen for a long time, and unconsciously smiled.

At that time, she fell into the trap, disheartened, thinking that she was sure to die, either starving to death or becoming the dinner of dark beasts, who would have thought that such a person would descend from the sky and come to rescue her from a distance on a horse.

She still remembers the first time she saw Ruan Lianyi. Ruan Lianyi's cleanliness seemed to illuminate her whole world. She had never seen such a beautiful person. The smile in those eyes seemed to bring With a little bit of starlight, light up her heart that has long been extinguished.

From then on, she wanted to look at that person, even if she couldn't get close to her, it would be better to watch him from a distance.

Now, she has wished to think that she not only wants to look at her, but also wants to get close to her, touch her, and even have some indescribable longings that are ashamed to speak.

How she got to this point, she didn't know, but she thought that if she could be inseparable with Ruan Lianyi from now on, her heart would be overwhelmed with joy.

The sky was snowing more and more, and Shu Qingwan couldn't remember exactly how long it had been, but only knew that the red egg she was holding in her arms was no longer warm, holding it in her hand was worse than holding a piece of ice. cold.

The surroundings were white, and there was only one or two sounds of tree branches collapsing due to the occasional failure to support the snow.

When she got cold from sitting on the ground, she stood up and used the branches to do a sword dance for a while. After the dance warmed up, she went back to sit under the tree.

After repeating this for countless times, Shu Qingwan finally realized that the time was wrong, but Ruan Lianyi she was waiting for hadn't come yet.

I don't know how long it took, no matter whether she was tired or cold or hungry, she was not in the mood to dance the sword again, but stood firmly under the tree like she was standing by the trap for the first time waiting for Ruan Lianyi , Looking at the end of the path when I came.

Until the sky was stained with ash, and the ash became darker and darker, covering the whole world like a gray net, and the bright snow on the ground could not illuminate the path in the distance, but Ruan Lianyi still did not appear.

The path at the end of the forest seemed to be covered by countless doors. As the sky became darker and darker, those doors closed one by one from far to near.

It wasn't until those doors closed in front of Shu Qingwan's eyes that her vision became more and more blurred that she moved, stretched out her hand to wipe the snow off her shoulders, and turned around to return the same way.

The way back was already covered by a thick layer of snow. Shu Qingwan stepped on the snow, holding the red egg that had already been frozen through, and comforted himself while walking. stand up.

Although she was a little disappointed, she was not too discouraged.

Ruan Lianyi did not show up at the agreed time, and it was not a big deal, because it was not without precedent.

Shu Qingwan heard from Ruan Lianyi that she had an elder brother who was very strict with her. He usually lived in the courtyard of the outer mansion, but occasionally he would go back to the main house to see her. If her elder brother came back, then She couldn't go out and enjoy herself.

Although Ruan Lianyi's elder brother returned to the main house regularly in recent years, he would occasionally make surprises.

Shu Qingwan thought, maybe Ruan Lianyi's brother came back suddenly, she didn't have time to tell herself in advance, that's why she didn't come to the appointment.

It's okay, she can wait.

They had an agreement that Ruan Lianyi would always come.

On the second day, regardless of Nanny Zhang's reprimand yesterday, Shu Qingwan climbed over the wall and left the manor again.

If things like climbing over walls and climbing trees were replaced by Shu Qingwan four years ago, it would definitely be impossible to do it, but now Shu Qingwan has already been running around with Ruan Lianyi and has a foundation in martial arts. , I have long been familiar with such things as climbing over walls and climbing trees.

She walked to the side of the road and saw the plum tree covered by snow, she still reached out and picked one and crushed it, then walked to the roadside in the woods, and waited peacefully under the big tree next to the trap.

She really wanted to see the sword that was hidden a few days ago, but she was afraid that she would miss the time to meet Ruan Lianyi after she walked away, so she could only continue to sit under the tree and wait.

She wanted to wait for Ruan Lianyi to come, and then they would go get the sword together, wait until they came back in the evening, and then practice together.

The sky had already dimmed unknowingly, and then gradually became darker, but the person Shu Qingwan was waiting for still did not appear.

She comforted herself that maybe Ruan Lianyi's brother hadn't left home yet, so she could only continue to pretend to be a dignified woman at home.

She couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth when she thought of the scene of a flirtatious person like Ruan Lianyi wearing women's clothes, sitting at home, perhaps holding books or embroidery needles, with a sad face. .

Unknowingly, the sky completely darkened, Shu Qingwan lightly brushed the thin snow on his shoulders, and went deep into the woods.

Her sword has not been buried in the soil for a long time, because it is rainy in winter, she is afraid that the wooden sword will be soaked by rain, so as early as half a month ago, Ruan Lianyi and Ruan Lianyi dug a hole in the tree to hide the sword .

There is only one sword in it now, because she brings Ruan Lianyi's one back every day, and then brings it again the next morning to put it with her wooden sword.

Shu Qingwan sat on the tree for a while, touched the undamaged wooden sword, then covered the hole, jumped off the tree trunk, and returned to the manor by the same route.

On the third day, Shu Qingwan didn't climb over the wall to go out, because Madam Zhang hadn't stopped her from going out.

When she came back the day before, Nanny Zhang saw that she was intact, and tried to persuade her a few words. Seeing that she was just sitting blankly, she didn't say anything, just sighed and went to do her own thing.

Zhang Momo remembered that four years ago when Shu Qingwan met the boy who saved her, there was a time like this. No matter how much she persuaded, Shu Qingwan still ran out every day, and when she came back, there was a gleam in her eyes. With an inconspicuous gloom.

But then Shu Qingwan's state of mind gradually changed. Although she still went out often, every time she came back, there was a gleam of brightness in her eyes. Although she seldom showed joy, Nanny Zhang watched her grow up. Yes, it is natural to see that the emotion in her eyes is joy.

On the other hand, in the past few days, she had never seen Shu Qingwan look so distraught, as if she had returned to the time when she went out every day four years ago.

Nanny Zhang doesn't know what happened to Shu Qingwan, but now that Shu Qingwan has reached the age of Ji, she can no longer act recklessly like before, but no matter how she persuades, Shu Qingwan seems to have not heard, it is still the same day. Run outside.

Nanny Zhang simply didn't care, she thought that it would be fine for Shu Qingwan to run out like this in the past, and it should be harmless now, and let Shu Qingwan be self-willed for a few more days, and if she grows older in the future, she may not have a chance to live. Sun ran away.

The Shu family will never leave a young girl who stays in the manor house every day to show her face.

When Shu Qingwan passed the plum tree, she hesitated and picked one, but she didn't rub the flower, she just held it in her hand, facing the wind and snow, and waited together in the silent woods.

But it's a pity that she waited all morning, but still didn't find the person she was waiting for.

In the woods, there was not even a single person in the morning. The heavy snow had already blocked those who went out, and she was the only one who sat under the tree by the road every day, waiting for the person with whom she had an appointment.

She sat under the tree for a while, then stood up and headed towards Dongyun Temple in the distance.

She walked forward along the road she used to walk with Lian Yi, looking back from time to time, but unfortunately the end of the road was green and white, and there was no life in the vastness.

The daylight fades, and the darkness picks up.

Shu Qingwan finally climbed up thousands of steps, and then walked through the dark bamboo forest to the small courtyard deep in the bamboo forest.

The little monk sweeping the floor in the small courtyard has grown a lot taller, and he has a vague tendency to be as tall as Shu Qingwan. He is still holding a bamboo broom, gently sweeping the snow in the courtyard aside.

But he scanned and saw a figure rushing indistinctly from the bamboo grove. He was startled, and after a closer look, he found that it was Shu Qingwan.

Shu Qingwan's shoes and socks were soaked long ago, and the hem of her skirt was also wet a lot, but she didn't seem to notice, and hurried towards the small courtyard with the hem of her skirt in hand.

Shu Qingwan seemed to be afraid of scaring Ming, and slowed down after approaching, but before Liao Ming had time to speak, he spoke first: "Brother Liao Ming, Senior Sister Lian Yi, are you coming these days?"

Liao Ming shook his head: "I didn't come, but what's the matter with you coming here so late?"

Shu Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily, and then shook his head: "It's all right, don't disturb Master, I'm leaving."

She didn't care about it after she finished speaking, Ming looked at her puzzled eyes, turned around and went into the bamboo forest.

Fortunately, Lian Yi did not come to the master.

Then it must not be because she realized what she was going to say, so she stopped seeing herself.

As long as it is not because of this, she can wait no matter how long it takes.

On the fourth day, Shu Qing got up very early in the evening, but still missed the time for a cup of tea before going out.

Because she only came back to the manor at Haishi last night, her shoes and socks were soaked, and her clothes were dirty, Mammy Zhang felt distressed all night, so Nanny Zhang specially watched her at home today and told her not to go out again.

Shu Qingwan coaxed Nanny Zhang that she wanted to eat jujube cake. When Nanny Zhang went back to the room to get the money, she tapped her toes and quickly climbed up to the roof, and then jumped over the wall regardless of Nanny Zhang's frightened sound.

She must be going today, because today is the fourth day, and Ruan Lianyi will definitely show up.

Over the years, she certainly knew the rules of brother Ruan Lianyi's stay at home, which would not exceed three days at a time, and even if it occasionally exceeded one day, Ruan Lianyi couldn't wait to sneak outside.

Today is the fourth day. According to Ruan Lianyi's temperament, she must not be able to stay. She will come out for a walk sooner or later.

What's more, she promised herself that she would definitely come to the appointment.

When Shu Qing passed the plum tree, he picked another plum tree without hesitation, and put it directly into his bosom.

The beautiful dress she wore yesterday was already dirty, because she washed it too late last night, and the clothes were not dry yet, so she had to pick out a better plain dress and put it on. The scene with Ruan Lianyi was too bad.

If you can apply the juice of this plum blossom, it will be some embellishment anyway.

With that in mind, she touched the plum blossoms in her bosom, and happily sat under the big tree by the roadside.

She was mentally prepared, as soon as she saw Ruan Lianyi appearing at the end of the path, she would take out the plum blossoms in her bosom, squeeze out the flower juice and apply it, and meet Ruan Lianyi in her best condition.

But to Shu Qingwan's disappointment, the last plum blossom was still useless.

She waited from early morning until the sun fell, the flowers in her arms were frostbitten by the air-conditioning, and there was still no sound from the end of the path, as if she was the only one left in the whole world.

The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and Shu Qingwan under the trees on the roadside was also covered with snow. She was looking at the path at the end of the woods, like a sculpture, just like she was waiting for Ruan Lianyi at the beginning.

She stood and waited like this day after day, until the plum blossoms withered, the winter snow melted, and the warblers flew and the grass grew.

The person she was waiting for never came back.

The author has something to say:

There is a saying that goes like this - how to make a person an angel is to light a light in her dark life, how to make her a devil is to take that light away and put it out.

The memories of my childhood come to an end here, otherwise I will be tortured to death late at night.

When choosing the cover, I specially chose a red plum as the background picture. This red plum that has appeared many times will finally witness their happiness.

In addition, have you noticed that even though Ruan Lianyi didn't know much, when facing Wanwan, she always has double standards and always has exceptions. In her childish words, there is always a preference for Wanwan- -For example, she said, did you do something to be sorry for me, as long as you say it, I will forgive you.

No matter what it is, as long as you say it, I will forgive you.

--Okay, next I will give sugar, so sweet that I can enter the bridal chamber!
