When Su Mo returned to the boat, it was already late at night. The little girl was lying on the table and had fallen asleep at some point.
The food that has not yet been eaten is spread out on the table.
Su Mo looked at it and shook his head, sighing: "This silly kid..."
He took off his coir raincoat and bamboo hat, hung it on the ship's pillar, and walked to the little girl's side. Su Mo gently picked up the little girl's petite body and walked towards the room.
"Master..." The little girl woke up and saw Su Mo holding her and gently placing her on the bed, murmuring softly.
"Why didn't you go back to the room to sleep?" Su Mo rubbed the little girl's head and asked softly.
The little girl snorted: "I want to wait for the young master to come back before sleeping."
Su Mo lay on the bed with the little girl in his arms, and whispered softly: "Go to sleep, the young master is back!"
"Well..." the little girl responded, stretched out her arms to hug Su Mo tightly, and fell asleep again.
Su Mo hugged the little girl, patted the little girl's back gently, and looked at the dark night outside through the boat window.
I just went to take a look...
I'm just going to check it out...
Su Mo closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
...
The rain is still falling, the river has risen, and people's hearts are wet...
"Master, how long will it keep raining?" The little girl held up the chess piece and looked at the non-stop rain outside, feeling a little annoyed.
"I guess..." Su Mo looked at the sky outside the window, "There are still a few days left!"
The little girl followed the example of an adult and sighed sadly: "It has been raining, so I can only stay on the boat... I can only play chess with the young master..."
Su Mo didn't know how to place the chess pieces for a moment, so he simply took advantage of the situation and randomly messed up the pieces on the chessboard: "No more moves!"
...The chess quality is extremely poor.
The little girl immediately pouted, unhappy.
It's not that Su Mo's chess skills are not as good as the little girl's. It's just that the little girl is very poor at chess and likes to regret her moves. In order to cooperate with her, Su Mo had to pretend that the two were equally good at chess, in order to trick the little girl into playing with him all the time.
It has always been like this...but today I have lost interest.
"Young Master, a few more hairs turned gray last night!" the little girl said. When she just tied Su Mo's hair, she saw that Su Mo had turned two more gray hairs.
Su Mo shook his head, remained silent, and just sighed.
This rain sets off people's hearts, watering the depression in people's hearts, causing something in people's hearts to surge but with nowhere to go.
Tick tock...tick tock...
The dripping water from the eaves of the boathouse kept hitting the bow of the boat, causing raindrops to fall everywhere.
A person in a fluttering long skirt, holding an umbrella, boarded the bow...
"Luo Yin came here to ask for a painting. Is it convenient?"
A maid held an umbrella for Luo Yin, but it still got the hem of Luo Yin's skirt wet.
Su Mo heard this touching and familiar voice in the houseboat, and immediately went over to open the door of the houseboat.
Today, Luo Yin is still wearing a white dress, elegant and refined. His demeanor is calm, tranquil and detached.
Su Mo looked at the charming Luo Yin and bowed slightly: "I have met Fairy Luo."
Luo Yin looked at Su Mo's beautiful and tender face and sighed slightly in her heart unconsciously, but she didn't know why she was melancholy.
At this moment, Su Mo looked at Luo Yin's beautiful posture up close and was slightly in a trance. This was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his two lives. What's even more peculiar is that Luo Yin's temperament is very quiet, which makes people feel peaceful.
"Aren't you going to invite us in?" Luo Yin smiled slightly, "It's not appropriate to treat guests like this."
Su Mo came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and said sideways: "I'm sorry, Fairy Luo, please come inside!"
Luo Yin entered the houseboat casually and saw calligraphy and paintings hanging all over the house. Although it was a houseboat, it looked like a scholarly mansion.
The house is filled with the fragrance of ink...
The maid on the side smacked her tongue secretly when she saw this scene.
The little girl stared at Luo Yin and the maid curiously with her big eyes.
Fairy sister is so beautiful... the little girl couldn't help but say in her heart.
"When will the bright moon come? Ask the blue sky with your wine. I don't know what year it is in the palace in the sky. I want to ride the wind back, but I am afraid that it will be too cold in the beautiful buildings and jade palaces at high places. I dance to clear the shadows, how can I feel like I am in the human world." Luo Yin left. When I came to a picture of words, I couldn't help but read the words on the paper.
"Good words, good words! Although this word is only half-full, it is enough to make the younger generation of this generation bow down." Luo Yin said slowly.
Luo Yin turned around and looked at Su Mo with bright eyes: "Is there a second half?"
Su Mo nodded and spoke slowly...
"Turn around the Zhu Pavilion, look down at the Qihu, and the light will keep you awake.
There should be no hatred, why should we be reunited when we say goodbye? "
Su Mo's voice was silent, but it made the boat ripple...
"People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This has never been the case in ancient times.
Nung, moon and new moon. "
The maid who came with Luo Yin was stunned. Now she finally understood why the young lady had to brave the rain to come to this small boat.
On board this small painting boat is a leader among contemporary young scholars.
The little girl ran to Su Mo, pulled Su Mo's finger, and looked up at Su Mo.
"I hope we can live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart..." Luo Yin murmured to himself.
"Young Master's talent is unparalleled in this world!" Luo Yin's expression became more complicated, and his quiet and detached demeanor was gone.
Su Mo shook his head and said truthfully: "This word was not written by me, but by an ancestor from my hometown."
Luo Yin smiled, thinking that Su Mo was being modest.
If it was really written by someone else's ancestors, why not have it been passed down to the world earlier?
"Master Su, would you like to play a game with me?" Luo Yin looked at the messy chessboard and asked suddenly.
Su Mo couldn't figure out Luo Yin's approach for a while. She said she was here to ask for a painting, but now she wanted to play chess... But she was a guest, and she happened to have something to ask her for, so she said, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Su Mo and Luo Yin sat opposite each other, and the little girl helped clear the chessboard.
"Girl, watch the tea!" Su Mo ordered the little girl.
The little girl turned around and went to make tea.
The maid on the side looked at Su Mo and Luo Yin who were sitting opposite each other with piercing eyes, as if they were seeing a pair of golden boys and girls.
It's just a pity that Mr. Su is a mortal... The maid sighed.
"Master Su, please invite me first!" Luo Yin said.
Su Mo was not polite either, picking up the chess piece and making a move.
"Fairy Luo just calls me 'Jing Yan'!" Su Mo said.
Luo Yin settled down and said, "Then I'll call you Jing Yan. Don't call me Luo Fairy all the time."
"The road between immortals and mortals cannot be crossed!" Su Mo shook his head.
"What is mortal? What is immortal?" Luo Yin asked, raising his hand.
"Mortal people, with bones and bones, live in mortal bodies for only a hundred years. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. All they want is to have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace and contentment.
Immortal, immortal spirit, long life. He is transcendent, but he does not eat fireworks. "Su Moluozi said.
The girl brought tea and made a cup each for Su Mo and Luo Yin. Then he watched quietly from the sidelines.
Luo Yin raised the tea and took a sip.
"Why should we look up to immortals? The so-called immortals are just mortals who have practiced Taoism. In this world, how can there be any true immortals?" Luo Yin shook his head gently, sighed, picked up the chess pieces and placed them on the chessboard.
"What does it mean to enter the Tao?" Su Mo asked as he looked at the changes in the chess game on the chessboard.
"Some people can naturally enter the Tao by following the footsteps of their predecessors. And there are a small number of people who understand their own Tao. They rely on their understanding of the Tao to pursue the ultimate principles of heaven and earth." Luo Yin said softly. He said, "Entering the Tao is just the basis of cultivation. You call those who enter the Tao an immortal, which is wrong!"
"Then what should a real immortal be like?" Su Mo raised his head.
"I don't know!" Luo Yin shook his head: "That's what all Taoists want. I'm just a Taoist, so how can I know?"
Su Mo lowered his head and said respectfully: "Jing Yan has learned a lesson."
"What are your plans after the Spring Festival? Do you want to join the imperial court and become an official? With your talent in Jingyan, it must not be a problem." Luo Yin asked.
"I don't know, just take it one step at a time." Su Mo lowered his eyes.
"Hasn't Jing Yan ever thought about entering Taoism to practice?" Luo Yin asked suddenly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Mo raised his hand, looked at this ordinary body, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The road between immortals and mortals is easier said than done." BIquGe.biz
"What do you want in this life?" Luo Yin looked into Su Mo's eyes, trying to find something different in them.
Su Mo thought for a while, he thought a lot. Thinking of the chaos of this world, the suffering of the people, the superiority of immortals, the ruthlessness of the world...
"It's just... leisurely clouds and wild cranes, just leisurely and contented." Su Mo said.
Luo Yin looked at Su Mo with bright eyes.
"But you clearly care about the people, but you have a heart for the common people..."
Su Mo was stunned when he heard this, and his mind was shaken.
"Why not...do something?"
When Su Mo came back to his senses, there were no more moves on the chessboard...
"I lost......"
"Thank you Jing Yan for your hospitality and I'll take my leave." Luo Yin stood up.
Come and leave as soon as you say...Except for asking for a painting when you first arrived, I never said a word about asking for a painting.
Su Mo stood up and took off the half-que "Shui Tiao Song Tou" from the wall, gave it to Luo Yin and said, "I gave this half-que poem to Fairy Luo. I actually have something to ask for."
"But it doesn't matter!" Luo Yin really liked the half of the poem just now, but it was a pity that it was only half of it.
Su Mo waved to the little girl, "I have to go out to do some errands, but with the continuous heavy rain and the rising water in the river, it is really unsafe in the boat. I want my sister to go back to the boathouse with Fairy Luo and stay for a day, waiting for me tomorrow. Come back and pick her up again.”
He calls the little girl his sister.
Luo Yin turned to look at the little girl, showing interest, and nodded in agreement.
The little girl raised her head and looked at Su Mo, her eyes showing worry. She knew that Su Mo had something he wanted to do, she had always known it...but all she could do was not to worry Su Mo.
"Brother!" the little girl shouted.
Su Mo smiled and touched the little girl's head and ruffled her hair.
The little girl took off a small white stone from her neck, pulled Su Mo to squat down, and put the small stone on Su Mo's neck.
This little stone has always been worn on the little girl. She doesn’t know where it came from, but she just thinks it is very important to her.
And now she has someone more important to her... I hope this little stone is a peace charm that can help her protect her brother.
Luo Yin took the little girl off the boat and walked towards the ship building.
Walking to the street, Luo Yin turned around, looked at the small painting boat swaying in the wind and rain, and sighed: "The storm is coming..."
"But... hasn't it been raining all the time?"
The maid doesn’t understand!
