On the official road from Chencang to Weizhou, a carriage was speeding.
There were two people sitting in the car.
Bai Yunfei's face had no expression and was unusually cold. Sitting opposite him was a man in black. The light in the car was dark enough, but his face was covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes like a vulture.
Bai Yunfei stared at the man in black, seeming to see something on his face. Unfortunately, the man in black's face was surrounded by a black scarf, and he didn't even have any expression at all.
"You never show your true colors to others?" Bai Yunfei's voice was also unusually cold.
"Never!" The man in black said solemnly, sounding like a middle-aged man.
"I heard that you have never lost a hand?" Bai Yunfei's face relaxed a little.
"Of course those in our profession cannot fail, not even once!" The voice of the man in black was also cold.
The tone of both of them sounded almost the same, without any emotion at all.
"Okay, you can take your money and leave." Bai Yunfei's eyes slowly closed, as if he was tired of saying one more word.
The carriage was still speeding, and suddenly a black shadow flew out from the carriage. He grabbed the shaft of the carriage with one hand, and used the momentum to bounce up another ten feet. The carriage passed quickly, and the black shadow had fallen steadily. on the ground.
…
April 16th, sunny and windy.
The "Cloud Car" has arrived in Weizhou. Xiao Ding and others found an inn that looked very comfortable. Zhou Ziheng asked the waiter to take good care of the carriage and horses. He paid three days' rent in advance. Kongtong will send a new employee tomorrow. The headmaster's grand ceremony is only more than ten miles away from Kongtong, so there is no need to use carriages and horses.
After a tiring journey, everyone went into the room early after dinner, all wanting to sleep comfortably.
Ye Rongqiu's eyelids had been beating non-stop for the past two days, which made her inexplicably upset. She lay down with her clothes on, but couldn't fall asleep for a long time. Summer has already begun in April, and the chirping of frogs and insects in the middle of the night is the most disturbing thing to do, especially since this inn is built against a mountain.
Suddenly, she heard a slight sound from the window, and then a grasshopper jumped into the bed and landed in front of the bed.
The grasshopper didn't move after it landed on the ground. It seemed that it had no intention of flying away. Ye Rongqiu didn't want to care about it at first. He couldn't sleep anyway, so he just stared at the grasshopper to see when it was going to leave.
The more Ye Rongqiu looked, the more something was wrong. She suddenly turned over and didn't even have time to put on her shoes, so she held the grasshopper in her hands.
This turned out to be a fake grasshopper, woven from a thin-stemmed wild grass.
Ye Rongqiu's expression suddenly changed. She walked gently to the window and listened carefully, but there was no sound outside the window. She stared blankly at the "grasshopper" in her hand, lost in thought, and her thoughts suddenly flew far away.
She remembered that they were still in Baiyun City at that time, and her father and mother were still around. She lived happily every day. Once she caught a grasshopper on a tree and was reluctant to throw it away. She took it home and locked it in a box to play with. But when she opened it the next day, she found that the grasshopper couldn't move, so she kept crying. Finally, her brother Ye Tianxun wove several grasshoppers from a thin-stemmed wild grass and gave them to her, and she laughed happily.
Only the brother and sister knew this secret.
The "grasshopper" in Ye Rongqiu's hand was exactly the same as in her memory.
Suddenly, she discovered that there was something that shouldn't be there in the belly of the "grasshopper". She hurriedly took it out and saw that it was a rolled up note with very few words and very few words.
"Meet you at the back of the mountain". There were only these four words on the note.
Ye Rongqiu hurriedly put on her shoes, opened the door gently, stepped out, and then closed the door gently.
The moonlight on the sixteenth day was exceptionally bright, it was the second watch, and there was no one around.
Ye Rongqiu didn't dare to use Qinggong. She was afraid that the sound of her clothes brought by the strong wind would disturb others. She tiptoed through the corridor, lifted it up a little, and jumped over the wall.
There is a path outside the wall that leads directly to the back mountain. Ye Rongqiu started Qinggong and galloped towards the mountain like a white elk under the moonlight.
This mountain is not high or big. The top of the mountain is as flat as a platform. There is a hexagonal pavilion on the mountain. Ye Rongqiu also vaguely saw a figure in white clothes standing outside the pavilion. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
Ye Rongqiu stopped five feet away from the man in white, who was facing away from him.
"You're finally here, Qiu'er." The man in white didn't look back, but his voice was trembling.
This call made Ye Rongqiu seem unbelievable. Although she was mentally prepared, she was too surprised. She choked and covered her face tightly with her hands to prevent herself from crying, but tears were already flowing down her cheeks. slide.
Only her grandmother, father, mother, and brother Ye Tianxun would call her Qiu'er!
"You, are you really, really your brother?" Ye Rongqiu was so excited that he couldn't even speak.
The man in white slowly turned around, looked at her and smiled: "It's really me, Tianxun."
Bai Yunfei, this man in white is actually Bai Yunfei!
Ye Rongqiu didn't seem to be surprised. She threw herself into Bai Yunfei's arms and hugged him tightly. "Brother..." She called her brother and couldn't say anything else.
Bai Yunfei gently patted Ye Rongqiu's shoulder, and two lines of tears slowly flowed out of his cold eyes.
a long time……
The brother and sister slowly separated, holding hands and sitting in the pavilion.
"Eleven years, I thought you had..." Ye Rongqiu couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of all the bitterness in the past eleven years.
"You thought I was no longer alive, right?" Bai Yunfei said with a smile.
"Well, when you were kidnapped that day, I cried for a long, long time. I pray every day, praying to God to bring you back soon." Ye Rongqiu nodded and said, with tears still on his face.
Bai Yunfei gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said with a smile: "I'm back now, which proves that God is moved by your sincerity." He seemed to only look natural and calm when talking to Ye Rongqiu, his face Only then would I have such a warm smile.
"We, brother and sister, will never be separated again, right? That day in Hangzhou City, you suddenly left when you saw me. I thought at the time that I really recognized the wrong person. After all, after eleven years, we will all have changed, but I From that day on, I have always had a feeling that you must still be alive. I didn't expect it was really you. Didn't you recognize me that day?" Ye Rongqiu's mood gradually calmed down and she spoke more. After all, this is her My brother who was separated from the eleventh school.
"Of course my brother recognized you, but it was not convenient to speak at the time, and I was too excited because I never expected that I would suddenly meet my long-lost sister." Bai Yunfei actually joked with Ye Rongqiu , he seemed to have not smiled so happily for a long time.
Ye Rongqiu suddenly thought of something. She looked at Bai Yunfei's face and asked seriously: "Are you really going to take over the Kongtong Sect tomorrow?"
Bai Yunfei looked at the looming Kongtong Mountain in the distance, and said lightly: "Yes, it is really me who takes over as the head of Kongtong."
