It's snowing in the south of the Yangtze River, and the frosty season is here again. The two people traveling north had almost reached the gate of Hangzhou North City.
As soon as you leave the city, you can ride on your horse and get to your destination faster. According to the previous route arranged by Zhou Mo, this trip north will follow the shortest route and reach Dongdu as soon as possible.
Looking at the falling snow all over the sky, the young man took a breath of air-conditioning and suddenly felt refreshed! Lin Manliu put on the robe that his parents had ordered before, and also threw one to the young Taoist priest beside him.
Zhou Mo didn't reply, just put his robe on his body and continued to move forward. The two of them seemed to be competing with each other before. In front of the side door of Yijian Villa, neither one was willing to put on his robe first.
The process of leading the horse along the way was really funny and funny... Lin Manliu was better off. After all, he spent more time practicing swordsmanship and his body was naturally stronger. He could only shiver a little.
The young Taoist priest next to him would sneeze from time to time, and his whole body would start to tremble non-stop. He would look at Lin Manliu from time to time to see if he would be discovered.
In this way, Lin Manliu gave in first and put on his robe first so that the young Taoist priest could put it on earlier.
With clothes to keep out the cold, the two of them walked faster and soon passed through the North Gate of Hangzhou.
After leaving the city, Zhou Mo took the lead in getting on his horse, pulling the reins slightly to make the horse look towards the bamboo forest ahead.
The young man patted Xiao Huang's horse's back first, and then climbed on the horse's back.
"Lin Manliu, where did the girl who was traveling with you go?" Zhou Mo asked as if he had nothing to say.
The young man was a little surprised and responded: "Miss Yue?"
"
"Yes..." Zhou Mo rode his horse forward. Lin Manliu also followed up and replied: "She has something to do at home, we are just traveling together..."
"Oh... let's go!" The young Taoist priest seemed to have lost interest, pulled the reins and galloped forward. Lin Manliu thought it was strange that the Taoist priest was silent after asking something that he didn't agree with.
But it was Zhou Mo who asked this question, and the young man's thoughts drifted away... As they parted under the sunset that day, she asked herself: "Lin Manliu, do you still remember how old you are this year?" The young man immediately shouted: "Sixteen!" From that day on, she didn't leave, but from that moment on, she lived in the young man's heart and would never disappear.
Later, when nothing happened, the boy would always think of her and want to tell her everything he saw.
But Lin Manliu didn't know whether he was doing it right or wrong. These are his thoughts alone. He never knows what Miss Yue thinks.
Maybe she just sees herself as a good friend, a companion on a long journey, a passer-by in the vast rivers and lakes?
Thinking of this, Lin Manliu had a headache, so he had to shake his head and look at the scenery ahead to distract himself.
Previously, there were very few shops and vendors in the city, probably because of the winter snow, so they would not open their doors if possible.
But outside the city, there were carriages running rampant, and various caravans, as well as men who were escorts, gathered on both sides of the street.
After all, the winter snow cannot be suppressed, and the hard work and hard work of these poor people... The two people traveling north want to cross as quickly as possible, and they need to avoid the freight carriages of these caravans.
The young man who no longer thought about it accelerated his pace with Xiao Huang beneath him, and ran forward. Just as this man was riding through a carriage, the young man turned back inadvertently and saw a horse on the opposite side of him galloping past.
It was a horse raised by Yijian Villa. The man on the horse was wearing a slightly heavy robe and had a tall ponytail raised.
I don't know if he noticed the young man's gaze or because the rider was looking around randomly... By coincidence, he and Lin Manliu made eye contact.
Lin Manliu? Moon Girl? The young man quickly pulled Xiao Huang's reins, and Xiao Huang's head was also pulled, and he looked back.
Seeing Yue Hanzhi's little yellow horse, he immediately neighed a few times and sneezed from time to time. Zhou Mo didn't look back. When he heard the boy behind him stop, he said: "The bamboo forest is waiting for you ahead..." After saying this, the young Taoist priest continued on his way.
Lin Manliu immediately got off his horse and led Xiao Huang through a gap in the caravan.
"Sorry, give in..."
"Thank you uncle, thank you brother..."
"I'm in the way of escorting everyone, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." The young man finally got out of the caravan and hurried to where Yue Hanzhi was.
The young man who finally walked up to Yue Hanzhi said, "Miss Yue..." Yue Hanzhi heard the first sentence of the young man's words, frowned and said nothing.
"Miss Yue, what are you doing in Hangzhou today? I was just about to go north with Zhou Mo..." Seeing that Yue Hanzhi didn't speak, Lin Manliu had no choice but to say something else.
Seeing the young man in front of him hemming and hawing, unable to speak a word that could be understood for a long time, Yue Hanzhi had no choice but to raise his hand and start tapping his head.
"Lin Manliu, chat with me, who is Ning Ke?" Yue Hanzhi said aloud. ah?
How did Miss Yue know Ning Ke... Looking at the boy whose cheeks were gradually turning red and his face was panicking, Yue Hanzhi forced himself to suppress his laughter and said angrily: "We know the girl, why are you hiding her? ?Don’t say it if you don’t want to!”
"No, Miss Yue!" Lin Manliu shouted immediately. The young man didn't know how to explain, so he could only tighten his robe with both hands and was speechless for a moment.
Yue Hanzhi thought to herself, is it a little difficult for him? After looking at the young man's clothes and sword, she continued, "Where is the sword your master gave you? Why don't you take it with you when you go out?"
"Something happened in the villa before, and it was the old liar..." Lin Manliu took a breath of hot breath and said aloud.
Yue Hanzhi nodded slightly and responded: "Well... I probably know a little bit. How is the villa?" The young man scratched his head and laughed: "There is nothing wrong. I have been quite leisurely recently... Miss Yue, look. I'm not planning to go out!" Looking at Lin Manliu's forced smile, Yue Hanzhi sighed, why is this person always like this?
Sometimes he looks quite smart...but sometimes, he looks quite stupid. He is so cute.
Looking at Miss Yue in front of him, who stopped talking again, Lin Manliu fell into embarrassment again and pulled the robe tighter.
I'm about to find some more that I don't have and pick them up to chat about. Yue Hanzhi immediately waved his hand and said, "Stop it! Talk while walking!" After stopping the young man's words, Yue Hanzhi turned his horse's head and headed towards the bamboo forest.
"Miss Yue, don't you have something to do during your trip to Hangzhou..." Lin Manliu was a little confused and asked immediately.
These words made Yue Hanzhi very angry. She turned her head to look at the young man, her brows furrowed even more than before.
"I have something to do with you..." Her words were neither fast nor slow, just enough for all the young men behind her to hear them.
Miss Yue, are you here to see me on this trip to Hangzhou? The two of them led the horses together, just like when they parted that day, she was still holding the horses from Yijian Villa, and he was still holding her little yellow horse.
"Miss Yue..."
"Um?"
"It's been a long time since we parted ways..."
"It's only been half a year, is it a long time?" Lin Manliu didn't reply immediately. He just looked at Yue Hanzhi beside him and hurriedly withdrew his eyes.
In the past six months... the young man has walked a long way again, met all kinds of people, and encountered many changes.
I made more friends and met people I could only meet in rumors. Perhaps after the separation, the young man's journey in the world was much smoother than when the two of them were together.
But that short time of facing the crisis together and forging ahead together. He will never forget it! It is precisely because after the separation, he has seen too many people and things.
Lin Manliu felt that too much time had passed since the two separated. So when he saw Miss Yue, he didn't know where to start or where to explain his thoughts.
Yue Hanzhi looked at the young man who had been speechless for a long time, suppressed the smile in his heart again, and called out again: "Lin Manliu!"
"Here!" Lin Manliu responded suddenly for some reason.
"Sigh...I told you, if you are so stupid, how will you find a wife in the future..." Yue Hanzhi sighed.
Hearing what Miss Yue said, the young man was stunned on the spot and didn't know how to answer the question.
"Hey, I won't tease you anymore!"
"oh..."
"Anyway, this time! I just came to see you. You happen to be going out this time, so I will follow you for a while!"
"Really!" Lin Manliu immediately exclaimed.
"As for..." Yue Hanzhi looked at the young man beside him with a look of disdain. The young man stopped tugging on his robe and looked at Miss Yue beside him with a silly smile.
The two of them stopped talking and continued walking towards the bamboo forest outside the city. The young Taoist priest outside the bamboo forest seemed to have expected this situation.
Before Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi could get closer, they got on their horses and continued walking into the forest.
"Why did you get involved with this guy?"
"Master Lu invited him to join the village earlier, and today he went north with him to the Eastern Capital..."
"It's better not to interact with these Taoist priests, they are very mysterious!"
"Well, Miss Yue!" No one deliberately suppressed the voices of Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi. Zhou Mo in front could hear them clearly, especially Lin Manliu's voice, which was deliberately read to him.
The three of them walked through the bamboo forest, and the horses stepped on the ground accompanied by light snow and mud, making some noise from time to time.
Zhou Mo was walking alone in front, while the remaining two people were riding horses together. Both Lin Manliu and Yue Hanzhi would look at each other from time to time, and then immediately look ahead.
Time always passed very quickly. As we walked all the way until it was getting dark, and when we passed the Chuxiang Wild Station, Zhou Mo suggested that we stay overnight and rest.
Lin Manliu hurriedly led Xiao Huang and Yue Hanzhi's horses and walked towards the backyard of the inn. Zhou Mo was speechless and entered the hall on his own.
After settling in the inn, the three of them prepared to take a rest, and no one deliberately approached the other. After nightfall, Lin Manliu opened the window and looked at the house next door, which was dimly lit.
The young man looked at it for a long time, even though the falling snow was falling on his face, he didn't realize it. He only felt that it had been a long time since he had enjoyed the tranquility in front of him.
Miss Yue, I am very happy to see you again. After seeing each other again, we meet again. I have the same dream with you several times.
I only have a few silver photos left tonight, as if I was afraid that the meeting would be a dream.
