Chapter 59: Life and Death Unresolved


I'm just an abandoned baby that my blind grandmother picked up from under the peach blossom tree.Master didn't blame me in the end, and touched my head dotingly: "Go back, take good care of Xiaoliu, and wait for me to come back." ”At this point, I learned that the master had made up his mind, and after seeing the master's back leave, Xu Xu came to help me: "The rivers and lakes that have been quiet for many years have begun to be uneven again, this trip is extremely dangerous, the cloud lord does not take you there, it is for your own good, although I don't know what your life experience is, but I can see that the cloud lord loves you very much." ”For the next few days, I waited anxiously for news from Master every day, and stayed in the pigeon forest every day.In the last flying pigeon biography, many of them were intercepted halfway, and finally two of them flew back, and they were also poisoned and died.This endless autumn rain seems to have suddenly been made up by someone, and it will clear up all of a sudden, and the warm sun of late autumn shines on the forest, and the time is quiet.After Xiao Yi woke up, he became more and more reluctant to speak, Xiao Liu was ill and had not recovered for a long time, and he practiced sword desperately every day, and his fleshy face was skinny.On the second day after the sky cleared, we received a message from the flying pigeons in Lingxiao City, and the master was plotted on the way to Lingxiao City, and his fate was uncertain, and his whereabouts were unknown.The disciples at the end of the entire bamboo cloud were all in a tight position, especially the Hundred Gardens, and many disciples were sent to take turns to keep vigil day and night, and even when they left the garden, they didn't let me go again.Xiao Liu finally stopped practicing swords, and after getting up early in the morning, he cut a lot of bamboo from the bamboo forest and came back, saying that he was going to make a bamboo sword.After working without eating or drinking for most of the day, I was helping the good lady twist the freshly washed quilt, taking advantage of the sunny weather.The good lady said that the autumn quilt can warm up the whole winter.Xiao Liu suddenly walked over, handed me a bamboo sword, and said expressionlessly: "From today onwards, I will teach you the kung fu of self-defense." ”I was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to reply to her, and the good lady whispered in my ear: "Go, it's better to do something than for her to be blind there." ”I was driven by a good lady to put a duck on the shelf, I have never practiced basic skills, in the face of Xiao Liu's flexible and light tricks, how can there be room to parry, Xiao Liu made more than a dozen bamboo swords, but she has deep internal skills.Basically, I couldn't pass a single move, and the bamboo sword with the handle was broken within half of Xiao Liu's move.If it weren't for Lifelike to come to the end, I would have to die of exhaustion.Under the persuasion of life, Xiaoliu was no longer anxious for quick success, and began to practice my basic skills, the first trick was taught by the master, lifting water.Carrying water from the waterfall to the stream below the mountain, my hands could not hang down, and after a day of running, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and Xiaoliu still punished me to stand on one foot before going to bed.I was miserable, but considering that Xiaoliu didn't toss himself, I gritted my teeth and stoiced.After a few days, I also lost a lot of weight, I don't have an appetite for the delicious food that Shanniang makes every day, I'm so tired that I don't even have the strength to speak, Xiaoliu shouted to stop and I fell to the ground immediately, and every day I watched the dawn and prayed that the sky would get dark quickly.After practicing the basic skills for more than half a month, Xiaoliu began to teach me some simple self-defense tricks.Coupled with lifelike guidance on the side, Xiaoliu was afraid of hurting me, and he also had some scruples, so I could barely be able to match half of the moves.The disciples at the end of the bamboo cloud looked like they were facing a great enemy all day long, but for several days, the end of the bamboo cloud was no different from usual, and I had nightmares every night, and I was getting thinner and thinner day by day.The weather is strange to say, and it's warm all day.And the good news came one after another, first the news from the Stunning Villa, Xiling Yuejia sent a large number of people to find the news of the master, and then Lingxiao City also came with a letter, Beili Qingluan has woken up, and Chabai is recuperating from his injuries.The end of the bamboo cloud was cold for several days, and finally cleared the clouds, and the female disciples began to smile.The bigger good news followed, the lifelike and good mother disappeared early in the morning, Xiaoliu dragged me up from the bed to the bamboo forest to practice swords, my thin arms and legs seemed to be broken, but after seeing Xiaoliu's bloodless face, I gritted my teeth and held on."

I can't embroider, but I have some talent for practicing swords."

Listen to the sound.So to the heart.I looked back in surprise and saw Beili Qingluan standing at the intersection facing the warm autumn sun, wearing a white robe and fluttering clothes.I stood still and didn't move, I saw Xiao Liu's eyes shining with tears, Beili Qingluan walked towards us, and stood in front of Xiao Liu: "That guy Chabai will be blessed if he doesn't die, Xiao Liu, he said he misses you very much." ”Xiao Liu's tears fell down, and Bei Li smiled lightly: "Xiao Liu, aren't you going to see your master" The next second, Xiao Liu threw his sword and ran away.Only me and Beili Qingluan are left in the huge bamboo forest, I haven't seen him for a few days, and he has lost weight with a ruddy complexion that he finally raised, and although there is a smile on his pale face, it makes people feel distressed to look at.He was only three feet away from me, and he was holding the Luan Niao Jade that Xiao Liu hung on his waist, and for some reason, Xiao Liu had been refusing to return the Luan Niao Jade to me, and then I forgot.At this moment, he opened his arms and looked like a torch: "Little trickster, don't you want me" I hesitated for a moment, then rushed into his arms, unabashedly in my heart: "I miss you, I miss you every day, I miss you in Baihuayuan, I miss you in Zhuyunju, I miss you in Houxi, I miss you under the waterfall, I miss you in Liyuan, and I miss you more in Siguolin." ”Beili Qingluan stroked my back and laughed at me: "Little trickster, if you really got into trouble and were imprisoned in Siguolin, I knew that sooner or later you would reveal your true form, and you would not be obedient and obedient. ”I pushed him away and explained aggrievedly: "It's not thanks to you, I shared the bed with you that day, and when I woke up, I found that you were gone, and you didn't say goodbye, and the cinnabar on my arm was also gone, and the master was very angry when he found out, so he imprisoned me in Siguolin." ”Beili Qingluan didn't feel the slightest guilt, but smiled deeper: "You are in the same bed with me, naturally you are my woman, it is normal that the cinnabar is gone, I am coming back, I am not ready to go again, I want to accompany you at the end of the bamboo cloud until the end of my life, do you say okay" I was pleasantly surprised, and muttered again: "Good is good."

But the master will be angry, but I now have another cinnabar, the owner of the village, you see, the red and gorgeous, not as dark as the cinnabar you ordered, is it better than the cinnabar you ordered" I rolled up my sleeves, that little cinnabar was a little dazzling, Beili Qingluan's smile suddenly disappeared, and he took my hand without saying a word and walked towards Zhuyunju.I struggled and cried out in pain along the way, but he never stopped.When he kicked the door open, the master was giving Chabai acupuncture treatment, Xiaoliu looked at Chabai who was covered with scars, and the pear blossoms who were crying on the side brought rain.I was led by Beili Qingluan and thrown in front of the master, and the cinnabar fell in the eyes of everyone: "Lou Kou, please give me a reasonable explanation." ”The master put away the silver needles for acupuncture, took the handkerchief handed to him and wiped the blood on his hands, and looked at the two of us: "If the wings are stiff, you dare to call them by their names, and there are no rules and etiquette at all." ”Beili Qingluan finally let go of me and forced the master to ask: "Why are you doing this" The master did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "If you really care about her, you shouldn't send her to me, since you brought her to me, I won't watch hope slip away, you erased the cinnabar on her arm, but you didn't ruin her innocence, this is where you are not qualified for me to explain." ”Seeing that the two of them competed against each other, they didn't give in to each other.Xiao Liu cried and said, "My master is injured, and he is tired of traveling, if you want to quarrel, go out and quarrel, don't disturb his rest." ”The master pushed the bamboo chair and walked out: "Why, don't you want to explain, come with me." ”They talked secretly for an afternoon, and Xu Xu went to eavesdrop, saying that their master and nephew had a heated argument, as if they were talking about life-saving things.I waited for them to come out in the bamboo corridor, and Beili Qingluan didn't allow me to save that person, but the master insisted that I save him, and my mind was full of wondering who I should listen to.I know that I promised Master first, but I am not willing to break my promise to Beili Qingluan.I almost broke down.The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and it is difficult to choose.When Beili Qingluan came out of the house angrily, the master followed behind and was not annoyed.It's the first time I've seen Beili Qingluan like this, the master is the oldest, not only is there no anger on his face, but there is also a shallow smile, thinking that in this argument between tongues and swords, it is the master who has the upper hand.Beili Qingluan walked up to me with a body of anger: "Are you willing to go with me, even if you will sleep and live in the open from now on, and even have no place to return to and no place to tolerate" He stretched out his hand to me, I was flustered, and asked in fear: "Have you quarreled with Master again, do you have something to say, you will break Master's heart like this, owner, otherwise, I will save that person's life, and after saving him, I will come back and go with you, okay" Beili Qingluan was as cold as frost and retracted his hand: "So between me and him, you choose him" This is clearly embarrassing for meI couldn't answer for a while.Beili Qingluan then looked sad, and his fighting spirit was completely lost: "That's it, my life is up to you, whether you save it or not, it doesn't matter what you say." ”After finishing speaking, I walked away with my sleeves, I didn't understand anything, and walked up to the master and asked, "What does the owner mean by this?"

The master was calm as usual, and he pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Yusheng, let me tell you a story." ”I pushed the master to walk in the winding bamboo corridor, although I was worried about the north leaving Qingluan, but I also patiently accompanied the master to walk this section, but the master came over and didn't tell the story for a long time, until we walked to the end of the bamboo corridor, and we could still see the figure of the good lady busy in the kitchen in the distance, and the fragrance of food blown by the breeze made people salivate.Master motioned for me to squat in front of him, and I complied, giving Master a thump on his leg."

The owner has always loved you.Why do you have to argue several times, Master, is the person you want me to save, is it only me who can save him, is he very sick, is it not my blood to save him, how long will it take to save him, if it is only three or five years, I will go and persuade the owner of the village and let him promise me to help you save people. ”Master looked at me kindly and lamented, "Sixteen years ago, there was a woman who was imprisoned in a saltless prison, she was not a beautiful embryo, nor was she ugly, and on the day she was burned by the flames, she bit her tongue, and the fire engulfed her, and no one rescued her. ”I have heard people say that the woman who was imprisoned in a saltless prison sixteen years ago was not burned to death by fire, but who could not endure the torture of ice and fire, and committed suicide by biting her tongue.I listened attentively, and the Master's eyes welled up with tears: "When she was burned at the stake, she was still eight months pregnant. ”One corpse, two lives, how cruel."

Later, is she dead?"

the master tilted his head, and the tears flowed down his ears for a long time."

Master, you're crying."

I took an embroidered handkerchief to wipe Master's tears, and Master smiled and said, "People are getting old."

Tears flowed as soon as the wind blew. ”Master is only in his early forties, and he is in the prime of life.I pushed Master into the small pavilion at the end of the bamboo corridor to avoid the wind.Master then said, "The sky has eyes, and the winter of that year had not yet fallen in the snow, and in that afternoon, the snow came and drowned the whole flame, and as soon as the fire was extinguished, it could no longer be ignited, and she was left to die by the river, and the river was frozen in ice, and the child fell to the ground and was born in the snowy night. ”If you count the years, that kid is about the same age as me.Grandma said that when I was picked up, I was six or seven months old, biting my fingers and lying in the bamboo basket, the peach blossoms on the hillside that year were very good, the basket was filled with falling flowers, and I only grabbed a piece of embroidered handkerchief in my hand, and there were three words written on the embroidered handkerchief: Lou Yusheng.Since then, my name has been Lou Yusheng.Since then, I have become Grandma's child."

On such a cold day, the child was born in the glacier, and he should have frozen to death."

I felt sorry and leaned on Master's lap.Master patted me on the back: "She didn't die, she met the only noble person in her life, that year."

He was only ten years old, he was weak since he was a child, it was a miracle that he survived, a lot of things happened that year, the rivers and lakes were turbulent, the court was treacherous, he was separated from his relatives, he walked on the frozen river with trembling, and when he heard the child's cry, the woman still had her last breath and asked him to help bite the umbilical cord. ”I can't imagine that scene, bloody, cold."

At the age of ten, he was holding a bloody child.Tightly wrapped in his arms, in the seven months of hiding in Tibet, in order to feed the little her, he went to an old woman's house every day to steal that little bit of poor food, and later when we found him, he played the sheng flute to coax the little her to sleep, in April of that year, the peach blossoms were dazzling, and the spring was bright. ”The ending is intact and unexpected.I looked up happily: "Master, did you make this up?"

Master looked at me with tears in his eyes: "But his identity did not allow him to bring a child with him, so he put the child under the peach tree in Taohuapo."

The blind mother-in-law heard the cry and adopted her. ”I couldn't believe my ears, but Master said to me with complete certainty, "That's right, the child who was adopted by my blind mother-in-law is you." ”It turns out that there are still so many ups and downs in my life experience.I pondered for a while, and blurted out: "The person that Master wants me to save is my benefactor" Master's expression was slightly solemn: "It's your benefactor, when you were very young, he gave you the only one that can continue your life, Liuliyue, he was born with a kind of cold disease left over from his mother's body, the strange thing is that this kind of cold disease is not afraid of cold, only afraid of heat, at the end of April every year, he will fall into a coma from time to time, and after June, he must go to Lingxiao City, which is known as the Ice and Snow Cold City, to escape the summer, over the years, my master and I have done our best, but could not cure him. ”That year, he beckoned to me and said to give me something, Zhao Weiyan often envied me, saying that the owner of Beili Village treats all beauties equally, but only for you, too favoritism.It turned out that Beili Qingluan was my savior.Therefore, the person he did not allow me to save was himself.Master didn't allow me to think too much about it, and asked, "If you were the only one in this world who could save his life, would you choose to stand by and watch?"

But in the face of Master, I didn't say much.Night fell quietly, and Xuxu took a small quilt over, and the master's stump leg hurt when it was cold, so after the autumn, the small quilt that Xuxu sewed for the master would become thicker and thicker.I ran fast in the bamboo corridor, I wanted to find Beili Qingluan, I wanted to ask him in person, sixteen years ago, if he bit my umbilical cord and saved my life on the glacier.I searched every room in Zhuyunju, but he was not there.Cha Bai had already woken up and saw me breaking in, and only said two words to me: "Save him." ”I finally found him at the Departure Garden, where he was sitting by the lake, playing the flute.I seemed to see him sixteen years ago, a little boy coaxing a baby in swaddling clothes, I forgot to ask Master, why my mother is not a beautiful embryo, and she is not ugly, but she has to be burned at the stake, and I also forgot to ask Master, when my mother swallowed her last breath, did she have a deathbed explanation.I even ran away with my legs very unfilial, without asking if my mother's body had been taken away by a wild wolf, or had been buried, or had been thrown into a mass grave on Mount Fanyin.All I thought about was that I was going to convince Beili Qingluan, and I wanted to repay him for saving his life.But when I actually stood in front of him, I just said, "I'll go with you." ”He took the flute and got up: "Why did you suddenly figure it out" I approached him and put my right hand on his lips: "Sixteen years ago, there was a teenager who fell on the glacier and bit off an umbilical cord with this mouth, saving a premature newborn, and he raised her to seven months old at the age of ten, and sixteen years later, she stood in front of him, if she could repay this kindness, even if it was death, she was willing." ”Beili Qingluan was a little surprised, and I covered his mouth: "But he doesn't want me to save him, then I won't save him, he wants me to go with him, so I will go with him without hesitation." ”After finishing speaking, I held his cold hand and put it on my chest: "From now on, my life is yours, if you die, I will accompany you."

If you want to be alive, I will follow you in the mountains and seas of swords.I beg you to take me with you from now on, wherever you go. ”Beili Qingluan pulled away from my hand and turned his back on me.We are separated by two small steps, but it seems to be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.After a long time, he replied to me coldly: "My life is up to me, not by anyone, you have been a trouble since you were a child, I am good to you just to see you pitiful, now that you know all this, I don't need to bother to cover it up, you just live well at the end of the bamboo clouds, and I will return to the Extinction Mountain Villa tomorrow." ”I rushed over and hugged him from behind: "I won't make trouble for you in the future, I'll change, I'll change, as long as you don't like it, I'll change it, I'll listen to you, listen to you, don't leave, don't leave me again." ”Beili Qingluan broke my hand away, turned around and looked at me with disgust: "Have you ever thought that with my ability, it will not be a problem for you to survive in the Stunning Villa, but why would I abandon you under the peach blossom tree?"

said Master.He can't take me with him, for whatever reason, it's a thing of the past, and it doesn't matter.But he was so cold that I couldn't accept it for a while.I choked up and asked, "Why did you abandon me in the first place" He roared at me: "Because you hate it very much, do you know it, you cry before you go to bed, you cry when you wake up, you want to cry when the wind blows cold, you want to cry when the sun is hot, you only know to cry and cry, did you die of thirst in your last life I tell you, Lou Yusheng, I hate you very much, I just want you to stop looking for me from now on, stop pestering me." ”He was so fierce that my tears kept falling.I stepped forward and grabbed his hand: "You are not, the owner, you saved me, you must have had a last resort if you left me under the peach blossom tree, you see, you have given me the life-saving Liuliyue." ”When I grabbed Liyue around my neck, he snatched it and threw it in the lake.With the splash of Liyue, my heart burned as if it were cracking.I rushed to the lake and was stopped by him: "Li Yao gave you a Hetian jade pendant."

I have ordered it to be returned, and you will live here in peace from now on. ”I cried and shouted as I did my best to rush to the lake, which was the life-sustaining Liyue.He pushed me to the ground and pointed at me with his finger: "I blamed me for not being able to bear to see you freeze to death and starve to death, so I would save you, I knew that you were a troublesome spirit who would only cause trouble, I would stay away from you, didn't you just want me to save you when you went up to the Tibetan Mountain, okay, now I saved your life and gave you a place to live, between us, the grievances are clear, and there is nothing to do with it." ”He said everything to me with anger.Finally, I stumbled two steps with my heart in my mouth, and a mouthful of blood slowly flowed out, and I got up and ran to him, and the blood gushing from his mouth spilled my face.I hurriedly supported Beili Qingluan, who was about to fall, and he pushed me away with all his strength: "You don't have to worry about me, whether you live or die is my life, why do you all want to manipulate me, I have lived enough of this rotten life, do you know if I have lived enough, I don't need you to care, you go." ”I used my hand to catch the gushing blood, and cried in fright: "No, I will save you, I will save you, I will go and ask the master to let me save you, and I will carry you back." ”He grabbed me: "I said don't worry about you, Lou Yusheng, do you still want me to say something a little more ugly":
