Chen He didn't determine the direction Nan Dao left until he passed the alley.
Because there were blood stains along the way, as if someone was vomiting blood while walking, this made Chen He very worried.
The water tank in the alley was full of blood. Chen He initially thought that Nan Dao was hiding there, so he stopped and took a look. It was empty. It seemed that Nan Dao had washed the blood on his body here.
Of course Chen He did not doubt that Nan Dao would lose to Hua Wuxi. After all, Hua Wuxi only stayed in Qingniuyuan for a while and then left. Even if he could feel the Qi, he would not be a person as fast as Nan Dao. opponent.
Following the blood trail all the way east, Chen He felt relieved until he saw the figure sitting on the city wall in the distance. He was just a little confused about who the man in black was.
However, before Chen He could let go of his heart for a long time, he saw Nan Dao suddenly fall backwards.
Chen He was startled and pushed the valve to the maximum. The small wheelchair rattled wildly in the long night street.
Stopping at the city wall, Chen He turned off the valve, jumped out of the wheelchair, and hurriedly climbed up the moss-covered stone steps.
Nan Dao was lying on it, surrounded by blood, and a peach blossom bloomed beautifully in the night on his chest.
The man in black robe had gradually walked away, and then jumped from the top of the city.
Chen He ran over in a hurry.
Nan Dao had lost consciousness, and his face was covered with blood spit from his mouth.
"Don't die first, I'll take you somewhere!"
Chen He patted Nan Dao's face and spoke hurriedly.
But there was no response.
Chen He grabbed the two swords next to him and carried Nan Dao on his back. The black umbrella was in the way. Chen He wanted to take it off, but even though Nan Dao had fallen into a coma, he still held on to the umbrella. . Chen He broke it off twice, but he really couldn't break Nan Dao's hand off, so he didn't bother anymore and hurriedly ran down the city wall with Nan Dao on his back.
Standing next to the wheelchair, Chen He realized that the small wheelchair could not accommodate two people. He was worried and thought about just carrying it back, but there was someone pushing the wheelchair in the distance.
Beitai.
Mr. Bei, who had drunk a lot, came over in a wheelchair, threw a bundle of ropes to Chen He, then stood up from the wheelchair and limped aside.
Chen He looked at the silent young man, sighed and said, "Thank you very much."
Beitai waved his hand and limped away into the distance in the night.
When Chen He passed by before, he naturally saw it.
So thinking there might be some trouble, I followed him.
As it happens, there is real trouble.
Chen He tied the two wheelchairs together, put Nan Dao, who was unconscious with blood on his back, on top, and then hurriedly drove away in the small wheelchair.
Beitai watched the two people leaving in the night and remained silent for a long time.
Some self-blame.
He felt that it was his own instigation that made Nan Dao do such a thing.
So he got hurt.
Although the facts were completely different from what he had guessed.
But Mr. Bei naturally regards Nan Dao as his friend.
Just like Chen He.
It was already late at night when I returned to the Xuansheyuan Library.
The door to the library was open, but Chen He didn't notice. He only thought that he had forgotten to close it when he left, or that other students had come to look at the books.
He lifted Nan Dao off the wheelchair and placed him on the listening platform.
Chen He ran down again and found a biographical novel.
Just like the boy who called Cao Weifing said.
I turned it over and found the word "Sword".
Chen He took a deep breath.
Standing on the wind platform and shouting - I want to go to Old Dog Town!
There was a strong wind all over the building.
Chen He and Nan Dao were lying peacefully on the wind terrace side by side.
The sword light fell.
Zhang Xiaoyu's figure fell on the wind listening platform in the night.
After looking at the two of them in silence for a while, he bent down and took the book from Chen He's hand.
He pressed his hands on the pages of the book very reverently.
He looked around.
He whispered: "I'm going to Old Dog Town!"
The breeze blows.
Nothing happened.
Zhang Xiaoyu looked around again. No one from the three departments seemed to be around in the night.
So he followed Chen He's example, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly: "I want to go to Old Dog Town!"
Nothing happened.
Zhang Xiaoyu coughed and covered his face in shame and left.
Unexpectedly, Yunhu poked his head out of the small bamboo garden.
Don't know what happened.
...
Chen He woke up from the table in the tea shop with the scroll in his arms, and Cao Weiying, a young man in Qingshang, sat opposite and looked at him with a smile.
The sun is just right outside the window, and the spring scenery is infinitely bright.
"You didn't lie to me?"
When Chen He saw that he had really come here again, he looked at Cao Weiying and said in surprise.
Cao Weiying said with a smile: "What did I lie to you for?"
Chen He put down the book and looked around, but found that there was no trace of Nan Dao.
"What about South Island?"
"He's out of town."
"What are you doing outside town?"
Cao Weiying thought for a while and said, "Baby in the sun."
"?"
Chen He looked confused.
Cao Weiying stood up and walked outside.
Chen He hurriedly followed, not forgetting to pick up the biographical novel that Cao Weiying wanted.
The two walked through the town and arrived outside the town.
It was the first time that Chen He saw this kind of spring and peaceful town, with the Yunya Lake, the sea of flowers and the bamboo forest, and he was a little surprised for a moment.
"It turns out there is such a good place in the world."
Cao Weiying was drinking wine in front, smiling and saying nothing.
Passing through the sea of flowers flying in the wind, the two stopped at the edge of the cliff and the lake.
There is a peach tree by the lake, full of rouge-colored peach blossoms, swaying in the wind.
Chen He didn't wonder why there was a big lake under the high cliff, but just looked at the scenery here in amazement.
After looking at it for a long time, I remembered the purpose of my visit.
Look at Cao Weiying who is holding a gourd and drinking.
“Where to bask in the sun in the South Island?”
Cao Weiying turned to look at Chen He and said with a smile: "It's right here!"
Chen He turned around and looked around for a long time, and then his eyes stopped on the peach tree. He understood something and was gradually stunned.
"This is Nan Dao. Why did he become like this?"
Chen He thought of the peach trees and peach blossoms that Nan Dao had talked about today, as well as the so-called cause and effect, and he still couldn't believe it.
Cao Weiying sat down under the peach tree, leaned against the trunk of the peach tree and looked up at the fallen flowers, and said softly: "Because he once borrowed the cause and effect from a peach tree for ten years. In other words, he borrowed the cause and effect from the peach tree. Ten years of life, and now that ten years have passed, it will naturally be returned."
Chen He stared blankly at the peach tree. The branches were full of peach blossoms, and each one was very similar to the peach blossom that bloomed in the heart of Nandao.
The peach blossoms kept blooming and fading in the wind, falling into the large lake of clouds and mist, and slowly moving towards the distant mist.
One of them fell into Chen He's hand.
There are some pictures above - in a small town after the rain, children squat under a black umbrella, admiringly looking at the people passing by on the long street, as well as the children playing in the distance.
Another flower fell - the child couldn't help but cough. Someone brought a peach branch in and planted it in the backyard. Then when it grew up, the child began to guard the stove in the backyard, cooking peach blossom wine and drinking it.
Slowly, the peach tree gradually began to grow old, and the tree was covered with peach resin. The amber peach resin was stuck everywhere, like many wounds.
Then the peach tree died and stopped blooming.
Nan Dao stood sadly under the tree holding an umbrella, began to cough up blood, and a peach blossom grew on his shoulder.
...
The peach blossoms were blown away by the wind from his hands. Chen He stood quietly under the tree, looking up at the peach blossoms blooming swaying in the wind.
"So that's it?"
Cao Weiying nodded and said softly: "Yes, and this is the most interesting part."
"Why?"
Cao Weiying looked up at the spring sky. Above the blue sky, the sun was shining brightly.
"What kind of person needs to hide under an umbrella all day long?" Cao Weiying asked softly.
Chen He looked at Cao Weiying, not sure if he was asking himself. After thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know."
Cao Weiying said nothing and looked at Chen He with a smile.
"What are you looking at me for?" Chen He looked down at himself. There was nothing weird about him.
Cao Weiying smiled, turned back and said, "It's nothing."
Chen He looked at the South Island where the lake turned into peach trees.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Then how do you solve this problem?"
Cao Weiying held up the gourd and drank the wine, saying: "Let him forget."
Chen He didn't understand what it meant.
So Cao Weiying took a sip of wine and continued: "Forget who you are. Also forget the cause and effect of everything. The cause and effect will naturally spread."
"How can cause and effect be resolved through forgetfulness?"
Cao Weiying chuckled and said, "Because if I want him to forget, he will forget. If I want it to end, it will end."
These are extremely unreasonable words, even if he is talking about things like fate and cause and effect.
There is only one place in the world where people talk like this.
But that place is also the most reasonable place in the world.
Because the principles belong to them.
"I feel like you drank too much and were talking nonsense." Chen He said suspiciously, looking at the young man in Qingshang who kept drinking in front of him.
Cao Weiying smiled slightly and said, "But everything I said is true."
As the boy spoke, he raised his head, looked at the bright peach blossoms above his head, and said slowly: "He needs to stay with me for a while. When he forgets a lot of things, he will wake up naturally."
"He won't die?"
"Not for the time being, because his karma remains in heaven...Old Dog Town, this is another human world. The karma in that world -"
Cao Weiying said with a smile: "I don't dare to come here."
Chen He looked at Cao Weiying for a long time and said, "I hope you won't lie to me. After all, it's rare to have a few friends in life."
Cao Weiying said softly: "Of course not."
Chen He said: "Then how do I get out?"
Cao Weiying said: "Go along the path, and then you can go out. As for coming back, it will be the same as before."
Chen He nodded, glanced at Nandao again, turned around and walked along the way he came. Then slowly disappeared into the sea of flowers.
Cao Weiying held the gourd under the peach tree and watched Chen He's back leaving, and couldn't help but smile.
He just smiled and fell silent.
Stand up and stand by the lake.
There was no shadow of himself in it, but the peach tree that Nan Dao turned into reflected a man in white with a peach blossom face in the water.
Cao Weiying looked at the lake quietly for a long time, then turned and left.
If Chen He had just taken a look into the lake when he was standing by the lake, he would have discovered it.
There is no shadow of him in the lake either.
