Outside the house, a cold wind swept across, and the wind and snow rolled in. Yun Shao held the window with his arms, looking at the snow-covered courtyard, lost in thought.
Unknowingly, it has already entered the cold winter. In the original body's memory, it was also during this time that Shen Moyao came to deliver the bad news.
Thinking of Shen Moyao, Yun Shao's twinkling eyes became meaningful. She originally thought that Shen Moyao would express his feelings to her before leaving, but she didn't expect that he would be so restrained and old-fashioned, which made her feel a little pity. She originally wanted to take advantage of her free time. I was passing the time, but I didn't expect him to be so reserved and polite. It was really boring.
There was a "click" and a crisp sound came from outside the house.
Yun Shao opened the door and walked out, and saw Ruan's mother squatting on the ground in a daze.
Yun Shao saw her fingers bleeding and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Miao Miao said as she bandaged her with a handkerchief, looking at her absent-minded look, she was a little worried.
Ruan Yiluo turned to look at his daughter, clutching his chest with inexplicable emotions.
"I don't know why. I always feel inexplicably irritable and flustered. It seems like something is going to happen. Shao'er, mother is very worried about your father. I haven't received a reply from him during this time. I don't know. How are you now?" Ruan Yiluo felt a little sad.
Yun Shao looked at her like this and felt indescribably sad. Thinking of her father who treated her extremely well, Yun Shao was speechless for a moment.
Ruan's mother on the side said to herself: "I dreamed about your father yesterday. He asked me to take good care of you. He also said that he loved me and would never regret marrying me in this life."
"Mother..."
Ruan Yiluo looked up at his daughter and met her tearful eyes, with indescribable sadness in them.
"Shao'er, mother misses your father..."
For the mother and daughter, this is the longest winter in history, with a biting chill, and the charcoal fire in the room cannot bring any warmth.
………
Early the next morning.
Yun Shao opened the door of the hall and looked at the thick snow in the courtyard. She picked up a broom and swept away the snow, opening a path for walking in the courtyard.
On weekdays, her father does these things personally and never lets her or her mother interfere.
After cleaning, Miao Miao glanced at the kitchen, breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed her stiff fingers, turned and walked out of the yard.
She looked at the vast white mountains in the distance, lowered her eyes at the crystal clear snow covering her boots, squatted there, and gently touched the biting coldness with her fingers, feeling a little sad in her heart.
Such reality was so cold and biting that she could not ignore everything that happened from the perspective of a bystander.
When Shen Moyao came to the mountain, he saw Yun Shao wearing a pink jacket and a plain cotton skirt. He had jasper pendants in his earlobes, lying on the ground with a graceful and quiet face.
"...Miss Yun Shao?"
Shen Moyao walked over quickly. Regardless of his master's dissuasion, he dragged his injured body and couldn't wait to see her. Everything that happened during this period made him tired, and his only thought was to see her as soon as possible.
Now looking at the vivid Yun Shao, I suddenly feel that the suppressed emotions in my heart are much lighter.
"...Brother Shen?"
Yun Shao's face was stunned at first, then with a smile: "Brother Shen, are you back?! Am I not dreaming?"
After Shen Moyao heard this, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and then with deep pain in his eyes, he hummed in a low voice.
Yun Shao looked behind him and saw no familiar figure. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little disappointed and sad.
Shen Moyao watched her look behind her expectantly, her fingers trembling slightly, and there was an unspeakable sourness and pain in her heart.
"Miss Yun Shao, Uncle Gu..."
"Shao'er, who are you talking to?"
Ruan's mother heard the commotion outside and came out. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Shen Moyao beside her and her eyes widened.
"...Mo Yao?"
She then looked behind him eagerly, but did not see the figure she was longing for, and asked with a trembling voice: "Why can't I see my husband? Didn't he come back with you? Is there something that delayed him?"
Hearing Aunt Ruan's inquiry, Shen Moyao felt his throat was clamped tightly, making it difficult to make a sound.
He clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his flesh unconsciously, causing slight pain. Only then did he slowly recover, find his voice, and said in a hoarse voice.
"......Uncle Gu was poisoned and died during the battle with the Master of Wujue Palace!"
Ruan's mother took a few steps back, trembling slightly, and murmured.
"This is impossible. My husband has unparalleled martial arts skills and has many rivals in the world. It is impossible for anything to happen!"
"You're lying to me!!"
Shen Moyao looked at her with pain in his eyes and remained silent?
Yun Shao stood there, suppressing her cries. She didn't believe that her father was dead. She rushed directly to Shen Moyao: "Brother Shen, are you lying to us? Daddy is not dead, right? All this is just a joke, right?" ?"
Yun Shao grabbed his sleeves hard, her long eyelashes were covered with tears, and then they overflowed from her eyes uncontrollably.
She was crying pitifully, her eyes were full of fear, and her nose was red. Shen Moyao looked at the sad Yun Shao and her helpless look, feeling a tightness in his chest.
He subconsciously held her fingers, trying to bring warmth to her cold fingers. Listening to her sobs, his eyes turned red and his thin lips tightened.
Ruan's mother thought of the husband she had dreamed about a few days ago. It was probably that he had given her a dream to say goodbye before he left. She was in a trance and fell backwards.
"Mother!!"
Yun Shao shook off Shen Moyao's hand and hurriedly ran to help his mother who had fainted.
Shen Moyao on the side looked a little nervous, fearing that Yun Shao would not be able to support him alone, so he quickly walked aside, and the two of them worked together to put Ruan's mother on the bed.
Yun Shao sat on the edge of the bed, holding Ruan's mother's hand, saying nothing, looking sad, and a dull and depressing atmosphere lingered in the whole room.
At the foot of the mountain.
A girl with a beautiful appearance and a proud expression was walking around the room.
"Why hasn't Senior Brother come back yet? Should we go up the mountain and have a look?"
"Have you forgotten Senior Brother's instructions before he left? He said that he could go alone. It may not be a good thing for many people to go. This is such a painful thing for the wife and daughter who lost Uncle Gu. They It’s understandable that you can’t accept it for a while. Don’t cause trouble. Otherwise, if you anger senior brother, don’t involve me!”
A young man wearing a black fox cloak, a purple gold crown, and his forehead was tied up and lazily leaning on a chair with his legs crossed, looking at the woman in front of him speechlessly.
Different from his senior brother Shen Moyao's sharp-cut handsomeness and indifferent oppression exuding from his whole body, this young man's facial features are soft and delicate, not as sharp as those who practice martial arts. Frivolous, giving people a sense of wanton publicity.
"Xu Xiaoling, just because you are not worried about Senior Brother does not mean that I am not worried. Senior Brother is still running all the way because he is still injured. What if he faints on the mountain?"
"Hey, Li Nian, which eye did you use to see Senior Brother fainted on the mountain? You ignored the pain of Uncle Gu's wife and daughter and were willing to go up the mountain at an inappropriate time. You can go by yourself. Then don't blame me for not reminding you. , Master Uncle Gu died for justice with a heart in mind, he was a chivalrous hero respected by all the sects in the world, I admire him and respect his wife and daughter more, for your own selfish reasons, you went up to the mountain to harass them without permission, don’t blame me for complaining to the master!"
"...You, you, Xu Xiaoling, I want to tell my father that you bullied me!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? Your father is an elder and my grandfather is also an elder. Would I be afraid?"
Xu Xiaoling sneered lightly and said disdainfully.
"you………"
Li Nian pointed at him, with fire in his eyes.
"Okay, little junior sister, since senior brother asked us to wait here, we will follow it. Junior Brother Xiaoling is right, you can wait here with peace of mind."
One of the disciples, who had a headache, comforted him.
He doesn't want to offend these two people. Compared with his junior sister, these disciples don't want to offend Xu Xiaoling even more, not only because his grandfather is the elder of Yunxu Sect, but also because his father Xu Xuan is a famous moneybag in the world, in terms of business. No one can match it. All the Yunxu Sect disciples' food and clothing are provided by Xu Xuan. If Ling Xiao is really offended, according to Xu Xuan's method of protecting his shortcomings, it will not be an easy thing to expose. If resources and money are cut off at that time, it will inevitably anger other disciples. After all, once their own interests are touched, no matter how good the brothers are, they will become ruthless.
Junior sister Li Nianyou and elder father don't care about this money, but for ordinary disciples like them who don't have a family, these are crucial.
When Xu Xiaoling heard this, he let out a light "tsk".
These disciples are really realistic, but reality is good, but I'm afraid that those who can't carry their own weight are like flies and annoying.
Inside the house on the mountain.
Seeing Ruan's mother waking up leisurely, Yun Shao shouted in surprise: "Mother, are you awake?"
Ruan's mother turned her head to look at Shen Moyao, who was standing not far away, and asked emotionlessly: "Where is your husband's body buried now?"
"Buried in the place where Uncle Gu of the Yunxu Sect once lived. Before his death, Master Gu asked the disciples to take good care of you. Although Wujue Palace has been eliminated, the remnants of those who escaped have not been found yet. I'm afraid they will find your whereabouts. I came to take revenge and brought you danger. The master sent his disciples to pick you up and are now waiting at the foot of the mountain."
"Aunt Ruan went to Yunxu Sect and could live in the house where Master Gu used to live. After Master Gu left the sect, the master has kept a residence for him."
Ruan Yiluo looked at his helpless and worried daughter in front of him, tears streaming down his face.
Her heart was dead. After she learned that her husband had died, she wanted to leave with him immediately. But looking at her young and innocent daughter, she could not abandon her. She was the person they both loved most in the world. She How could I leave her behind?
She must not let her daughter be in any danger. Shao'er is now her only concern in the world. She wants to see her daughter get married and have children, live a stable and happy life, and then find her husband to give him an explanation.
"I promise you, we will go with you to Yunxu Sect."
Ruan Yiluo knew that she might be noticed by someone with a different identity, but for the sake of her daughter, she was willing to take risks. After all, she was afraid that people from Wujue Palace would find her here, and she would not allow anyone to harm their daughter.
Presumably her husband's spirit in heaven will also bless their mother and daughter.
