Zhang Xiaoyu may have left the town near Qinse Valley after that day.
At least the old woman whom Li Qinghua called Granny Li has never seen the young swordsman in the white clothes who looked dirty around here again.
The carpenter named Liu stuck his head out that day, took a look at the Dalmatian dog over there, and then went to Li Qinghua's door. Although he didn't knock on the door, he got a rare answer from Li Qinghua.
Let him finish the Qinse Valley as soon as possible first.
The carpenter came back happily.
I was bored in the yard and began to huddle in a pile of wood, working on the wooden zither valley seriously.
The old woman spent a long time choosing at the market in the town and picked out a new skirt for Li Qinghua. She originally planned to send it directly to Li Qinghua, but after thinking about it, she sent it to the carpenter and asked him to finish it. After that Qinse Valley, send it to her together.
Naturally, the carpenter happily agreed, and took out some money to thank the old woman. The old woman did not accept it, but just told her that if this matter came to pass, she should treat Li Qinghua better in the future. After all, she People can't see anything, which is always very pitiful.
The carpenter promised sincerely, pinching his fingers and swearing to Donghuang Taiyi.
The old woman left the carpenter's yard with satisfaction.
It's just that maybe there is always some curiosity about whether Zhang Xiaoyu really left like this.
I walked around all the streets and alleys in this town with my cane, but I really didn't see the sword cultivator in white.
When the old woman came back, she stood in the Muxue Alley, looking at the quiet little yard opposite her own yard, feeling very sad.
Maybe he was sighing that Zhang Xiaoyu left like this, or maybe he was glad that Zhang Xiaoyu left like this.
Li Qinghua sat under the eaves, warming himself by the fire, and had a dream.
...
When Li Qinghua woke up, it was early in the morning. Snow was falling in the yard. There were still embers from last night in the ashes on the stove. After the upper layer of ashes was blown away, some naked wounds were exposed. The same red fire block exudes some very warm light.
The small house is very simple, with a line of snow-covered eaves that is green and black. The yard is very clean, with some snow falling, and it is very bright under the low eaves. There are some withered flowers growing in the corners. Wall moss clings to the wall like some dark snow.
Li Qinghua felt that she must have fallen asleep. Why did she see this small courtyard for the first time after living here for several months?
While thinking about it, he washed the rice and put it on the stove, then walked through the snowy courtyard and opened the courtyard door. Looking at the light snow in the town, I felt that I should hold an umbrella, so I returned to the yard, but then I remembered that I had never bought an umbrella. When I was thinking that I should buy an umbrella, I found that behind the gate of the yard, He was leaning quietly on a small green umbrella.
It turns out I bought an umbrella myself!
Li Qinghua thought like this, picked up the umbrella, opened it, and walked out of the yard.
There are mottled marks on the dark wall of the alley, as if someone had been caressing it over and over again.
Maybe a blind man once lived in this alley.
Li Qinghua thought like this, feeling that that person must be very pitiful.
Li Qinghua held the umbrella, subconsciously stretched out a hand, groped for the traces, and walked over quietly.
When passing by the yard, the stout carpenter stuck his head out, holding a very delicate but unfinished Qinsergu in his hand.
"I'll take you to the street."
The carpenter said it very sincerely.
"No, thank you." Li Qinghua took an umbrella and took a step back, speaking very politely and distantly.
"Oh well."
The carpenter didn't insist anymore, but stood at the door with some depression.
"Then I'll make Qinsegu for you first."
Li Qinghua didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so she held an umbrella and stepped on the light snow on the ground, slowly walked out of the alley, and then stopped on a street somewhere.
The traces on the wall stopped here.
Li Qinghua glanced at it with some doubts, and then looked towards the other end of the long street.
Maybe it was because of the early morning, but the town with a line of traffic at the foot of the mountain was very deserted. Occasionally, a few households had some white air coming out of their yards early in the morning, and most of them just had light snow falling slowly.
Li Qinghua held an umbrella and stood quietly on the side of the street, looking at the quiet town.
So a man in clean white clothes walked over from the other side of the town with a scabbard on his back. He stood behind an archway and was looking at the town, the snow and the sky.
Maybe he was thinking about something very sad.
For example, Li Qinghua, I can no longer live in this world.
But when the young man lowered his head and looked at Li Qinghua standing on the street corner, he still smiled happily.
"Li Qinghua, look, I'm here."
Li Qinghua stood on the street corner, smiling gently.
Watching the young man in white carrying the scabbard on his back, trotting through the wind and snow, he stopped in front of him, raised his hand to caress his eyebrows, and then inserted it into his hair.
She pressed herself against his heart.
The heart was beating, it was very real.
"Li Qinghua, I'm here."
Zhang Xiaoyu said that sentence again.
Li Qinghua let go of the umbrella, put her arms around Zhang Xiaoyu's waist, and clasped his hands tightly on his back.
The girl who had been waiting on the streets of the town for a long time in a blue and white skirt did not cry, but her eyes were a little moist, and then she softly let out a "um" syllable from her nose.
Zhang Xiaoyu hugged Li Qinghua for a long time before letting go.
"Let's go to Qinse Valley."
Zhang Xiaoyu looked at Li Qinghua with clear eyes and said seriously.
Li Qinghua lowered her head guiltily and said, "But I forgot to build a small yard there."
This young man in white clothes who came all the way from the north during the wind and snow just smiled softly, rubbed Li Qinghua's somewhat cold earlobes, and said with a smile: "I knew you would forget it, but I have already covered it there. We have a small yard!”
Zhang Xiaoyu is a proud disciple of the Human Sword Sect. I heard that he knows something called the Karma Sword.
Then he should be able to build a small yard there in advance.
Li Qinghua tilted her head and thought, then said softly, "Okay."
...
This dream is very long.
Li Qinghua was woken up by a gust of snowy wind halfway through, and looked at the corner of the eaves in confusion.
The fire in the stove has not been extinguished.
Still very warm.
Li Qinghua wrapped herself in clothes and fell asleep again.
.....
Zhang Xiaoyu held an umbrella and walked quietly on the town street holding his hand.
"Were you distracted just now?"
Li Qinghua heard Zhang Xiaoyu suddenly ask this.
Somebody in the town had a few red plum trees planted in their yard, and they were very bright and they poked out from behind the wall.
I must have been in a daze looking at those red plum trees just now.
There are also red plums in Xuanxuyuan, and there are large areas of red plums.
Li Qinghua thought so.
But they are in Huangliang now, not Huai'an. Maybe they can have a chance to visit the Xuanxu Courtyard in Huangliang. Maybe there are many plum blossoms planted there.
Li Qinghua suddenly realized that she was distracted again, and looked at Zhang Xiaoyu beside her with embarrassment.
Zhang Xiaoyu just smiled slightly and continued walking forward.
Maybe Zhang Xiaoyu was also distracted?
He also thought of those plum blossoms in Xuanxuyuan?
Li Qinghua turned her head and looked at the profile of the young man beside her.
Zhang Xiaoyu was just very relaxed and smiling sincerely.
The town spreads all the way along the big stream, and the towns lying like leaves at the foot of the mountain form a larger leaf with this stream as the vein.
The two of them walked to the edge of the leaves, which was indeed called Yeshao Town.
The clear stream continued to move forward and submerged into the snow-covered plain forest.
Zhang Xiaoyu continued to hold his hand and walked forward.
The branches and leaves in the forest are covered with a thin layer of snow. Sometimes when the wind blows, the branches and leaves will turn over and the snow will fall down, making a dull sound when it falls on the umbrella.
As I walked, the stream disappeared without a trace, and I don’t know where it turned.
“What does that little yard you built look like?”
Li Qinghua looked at Zhang Xiaoyu and asked.
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled slightly and said: "It is a small two-story courtyard. The courtyard walls are white and covered with green tiles. The road in the courtyard is paved with bluestone. There are many small flowers planted in the open space, but it should be It's covered with snow. Inside is a small blue building, like a blue flower, with many wind chimes and harps hanging under the eaves. When the wind blows, there will be various sounds."
"That's exactly what I thought, Xiaoyu."
"Yeah, so you'll definitely like it."
Li Qinghua held Zhang Xiaoyu's hand and walked there expectantly.
She actually has a lot of stories to tell along the way, all those things along the way.
I just don’t know why, but when it comes to my lips, it seems like I have forgotten everything.
This makes Li Qinghua sometimes feel that this dream is not good at all.
It was clear that I had so many interesting things and ideas along the way, but I couldn't think of anything at this time.
So I had to walk quietly towards Qinse Valley.
The valley surrounded by mountain snow is not very far when viewed from the town, but when walking on the road, it is actually a very long distance away.
Li Qinghua held Zhang Xiaoyu's hand and walked for a long time before finally stopping near the valley.
There is no wind in the snow for the time being, so this valley is very quiet, lying quietly in the snow. The first thing is two cliffs, with a large break in the middle, forming the entrance to such a valley.
There are many plants in the valley, which is covered with some snow, but it can still be seen that if there is no snow, the valley should be full of flowers.
The mouth of the valley is very wide, but the gap at the top of the cliff is not wide, so it is like a door, guarding the entrance of the valley.
There are some trails along the cliff.
Li Qinghua and Zhang Xiaoyu climbed up bit by bit on the snow.
There were two cliff flats on the valley, but the two of them just stayed on one of them, swept away the snow on the edge, and sat down huddled under their umbrellas.
"It's so quiet."
Li Qinghua sighed with some disappointment.
Zhang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "Maybe the wind hasn't come yet."
Li Qinghua nodded, sat on the cliff and looked around, and then suddenly saw a blue flower standing on top of the snow not far away from the snowy valley.
That's a yard.
Just like Zhang Xiaoyu said, there is a courtyard with white walls and green eaves, a terrace of small flowers covered with snow, and a small building like a blue flower standing in the middle, but it is also quiet.
Because this light snow just fell quietly, without the wind of morning and evening mountain streams.
In fact, there are many things outside the hospital that Zhang Xiaoyu has not said.
For example, a snowy trail winds quietly in the snow outside the courtyard, ending at the clear snow-covered stream that once disappeared in the plain forest.
There were many things made of bamboo along the way, and half an unfinished waterwheel fell by the stream.
"That's something to divert water. When it's time, we don't have to walk far to fetch water from the stream." Zhang Xiaoyu said with a slight smile.
"That's great!"
Li Qinghua sighed and said in amazement.
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled softly.
"If I have other ideas in the future, I can come up with more things."
"Yeah." Li Qinghua nodded and said, "Then what will we do to make a living in the future..."
Li Qinghua stopped before she finished asking her question.
The wind is blowing in the snow. The wind comes from the mountain side, so the sound of the grain is blown like a harp.
The music of the piano is clear and leisurely all over the cliff, like the waves of mountain pines and the tide of falling leaves. There is an incomparable peace between heaven and earth, as if this is the only sound left.
Li Qinghua listened intently.
The mountain wind had been blowing for a long time, and the cliffs were covered with fine snow. Even though the two of them held umbrellas, a lot of snow fell on them.
There is snow on my shoulders and on my brows.
But the two of them didn’t have their heads turned gray in the snow.
Li Qinghua looked at Zhang Xiaoyu's head with some regret. There was no snow there. Come to think of it, I don't even have it on my head.
But that umbrella was held by Zhang Xiaoyu.
Since the wind and snow could cover Zhang Xiaoyu's eyebrows, it naturally also covered Li Qinghua's black hair.
The mountain wind gradually stopped in the light snow.
The sound of pine waves filling the valley gradually became lower.
Li Qinghua suddenly forgot what he wanted to say before.
But Zhang Xiaoyu spoke in a low voice.
"Actually, I can't come back yet."
Li Qinghua looked at Zhang Xiaoyu blankly.
The latter raised his head and looked at Renjianshanxue.
The snow on the mountain was white, but the sword cultivator in white was not. He just held an umbrella and sat quietly on the edge of the cliff.
Zhang Xiaoyu did not tell Li Qinghua his stories, but looked sadly at this woman who was as soft and frail as Qinghua.
"It may take a long time, maybe it will never come back."
But Li Qinghua, I may never be able to live like this in the world again.
"The human world is beautiful, you have to read it slowly."
Li Qinghua suddenly grabbed Zhang Xiaoyu's arm.
But the young man carrying the scabbard just smiled softly and sadly, and then looked towards the other side of the cliff.
The opposite side of the cliff is also a cliff.
Li Qinghua turned her head blankly and looked to the opposite side.
There was a swordsman in white clothes standing in the snow, without an umbrella, walking quietly along the path along the cliff, towards the bottom of the cliff.
Li Qinghua turned around and wanted to ask Zhang Xiaoyu what was going on.
Just when I turned around, I found that I seemed to be speechless and couldn't say anything.
and.
He didn't hold the white-clothed sword cultivator's arm.
Just hold the umbrella tightly.
Li Qinghua stared blankly at the open space beside her, and then looked at Zhang Xiaoyu who was leaving quietly in the snow on the other side of the cliff.
She wanted to stand up and catch up, but she couldn't move. She just sat there in a daze, holding the umbrella high, as if there was still a man in white who was much taller than her sitting next to her.
So I watched helplessly as the figure in white got mixed into the wind and snow and disappeared again.
The wind roared in the valley again.
It came from the stream.
The wind in the stream is like thunder.
Very sad.
In the wind and snow, only the small courtyard in the distance and a small blue and white building standing against the snow were left.
The stream breeze brought the sounds of many wind chimes and wooden harps.
...
Li Qinghua was awakened by a knock on the door.
The girl who was sitting weakly in front of the stove and warming herself by the fire stood up, walked through the yard with thin snow and low eaves, and opened the door.
Outside the door was the stout carpenter, holding a Qin Segu that was specially dyed blue to look like blue and white. He stretched out one hand and was making a push to open the door.
Seeing Li Qinghua open the door so quickly, the carpenter was stunned, retracted his hand, scratched his head and said: "I was worried that there was too much snow in the yard and it would be difficult for you to leave, so I thought of opening the door first."
Li Qinghua just looked at the carpenter outside the door silently.
When the carpenter saw that Li Qinghua didn't speak, he stretched out the Qin Se Gu in his hand, thought about it, then retracted it, and raised his hand to hang it on the eaves.
"I've already made the Qinse Valley you want. Let me hang it on it for you."
The carpenter was talking to himself.
Li Qinghua shook her head and said softly: "No, I suddenly don't want it anymore. I'm sorry to bother you."
The carpenter was stunned.
Don't know what happened.
But he still took off the Qin Segu, looked at it back and forth in his hand, murmured, but said nothing.
The girl wearing a blue and white skirt weakly at the door looked at the carpenter guiltily.
"sorry."
The carpenter turned back and walked towards the alley. He smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll bring it to you when you want it."
Li Qinghua nodded.
The carpenter sighed and walked in the snow in the alley with the Qin Se Gu.
After walking for a while, he suddenly turned his head and stared at the courtyard door.
The girl in a blue and white skirt at the door was looking at him quietly.
Li Qinghua looked at the carpenter who turned back apologetically, then turned around, closed the door again, stood quietly behind the door, then leaned against the door, hands behind his back, breathing quietly.
There was some late-year wind blowing down in the yard, blowing the little blue and white skirt constantly flying.
Just like that day, Zhang Xiaoyu and the old woman were still standing outside the door.
Li Qinghua just couldn't see, not couldn't hear.
How could she not recognize Zhang Xiaoyu's voice?
But Li Qinghua could also see it, maybe when she stepped into that dreamland, maybe when she woke up from the dream for the first time.
So she lowered her head and looked at the umbrella covered with wind and snow behind the door. Some of the inscriptions on the umbrella were slowly dissipating.
Vaguely, it is the word "mountain and river".
So I probably really went to Qinse Valley with the young man in white.
In the midst of a mountain and river snowstorm.
Li Qinghua looked at it for a long time, her eyes filled with tears.
"Zhang Xiaoyu, you are such a bastard!"
