A white-haired man with a rosy complexion was carrying a lute as he sat in the empty courtyard. His expression was grim, but there was no sign of sadness or joy. His green robe lazily draped on the ground, outlining the man's pridefulness and seductiveness. The bamboo shadows in the courtyard were mottled, falling onto the man's body and then flowing around him like a mountain stream. The moving strings of the lute slowly flowed, one string, one column, one year.
Kui Xue fell asleep for many days because of the wound on her face. When she woke up, she was in an unfamiliar room. Her wound was drugged, and she still felt some pain. Because I heard the sound of the lute, Kui Xue got up and followed the sound of the lute to search for it.
The white hair on her back made her shiver, as if she was dreaming.
"Liuchuan …" Kui Xue could not help but call out that name.
After the sound of the lute was cut off, the white-haired man lightly glanced back at her and suddenly laughed. His laughter caused Baili Kui Xue's heart to throb with pain.
Kui Xue threw herself in front of him, her hands shaking as she picked up his head of white hair.
"Liuchuan, what's going on, why is your hair all white? How could this be? What happened? "
"Kui Xue, you idiot, how can you treat your own face like this? Does it still hurt? Let me see. " Liu Chuan put down the lute in his hand, his words as gentle as water. He carefully pulled her chin over and looked at her mottled face. "What can you change by destroying that face?"
"Don't evade my question! Liuchuan, why did your hair turn white? "Did Lu Shaoheng do something to you …" Kui Xue was extremely nervous, she grabbed Liu Chuan's hand, and looked into his eyes urgently.
"It's none of his business, it's me …" The corner of Liuchuan's lips curled up, and his smile was as gentle as the wind and the clouds in the sky. He interrupted the fragrant snow from the hundred li away, "It's the secret technique of the Peach Blossom Palace, it's the backlash. A night of white hair should be one of the aftereffects. It's just that my hair has turned white, so you don't have to worry. "
"Big sister Kui Xue, you're awake?" Yu Xuan slowly walked over with the changed medicine. When she saw the confused look on Kui Xue's face, she hurriedly explained, "It's like this, the reason why Liuchuan chased me and Zhong Xi away from the Imperial Palace was because he was worried that Lu Shao Heng would make a comeback. This is a new mansion built by the Huyu Clan. We will live here for the time being, with big brother and big sister Xiaoyan here in Youwu, Liuchuan is afraid that we will be caught if we get together, so we didn't dare to go to Youwu to look for them. "
"Beautiful Snow, Ning'er, she came to see me not long ago." "She told me that Xie Zimo is still alive on a small island called Walnut Island."
"Xie Zimo isn't dead, that's great." Mo Juanxue was overjoyed. She could not help but reveal a smile of pleasant surprise, but it tore at her wound. And at this moment, these pains had already been replaced by joy in her heart. She stood up, but was pulled back by Liuchuan.
"If you want to go find him, I won't stop you, but at the very least, wait for your injuries to heal before leaving." Liuchuan fiercely grabbed Baili Kui Xue's slender wrist and frowned. He took the medicine bottle from Yu Xuan's hand and carefully applied it to the wound on her face. "If you go out now like this, I'll worry about you."
"Liuchuan." The soft yet bewitching voice stopped Liu Chuan's hand from smearing the medicine, and Baili Qianxue pursed her lips into a smile. Even though her appearance was already ruined, some of her soul still remained, "Liu Chuan, thank you."
The white hair draped over Liuchuan's shoulders slipped down in the mottled light and shadow. Liuchuan suddenly held onto the fragrant snow, and the medicine bottle fell to the ground, producing a dull sound. Such a simple hug seemed to have used up all of his life.
"Kui Xue, in the future, you must take good care of yourself. Because you are injured, I will be worried, and my heart will ache for you." Liuchuan carefully pushed away the fragrant snow from within the 100 li radius, causing a soothing fragrance to waft into his nose, "Qiuxue, I hope that you can continue living a happy life, no matter who you are with."
The fragrant snow from the hundred li away slightly parted her lips and smiled. Her white and slender index finger landed on her lips, not allowing her to speak.
"You don't have to answer me. It's a good thing that you can see your true feelings clearly. In the past, I was used to freedom. I never thought I would stop for someone. But when I decided to love you, I stopped. Therefore, sometimes a person cannot decide what decision he will make. " Liu Chuan spoke in a low voice, which turned into a shallow stream beside her ears.
The mottled light flowed into his heart. That kind of warmth surpassed love, making people unable to understand it, yet unable to give it up. Originally, the more he wanted to cherish it, the more he couldn't hold it tightly in his hand. It was like grabbing a handful of quicksand. The harder you pushed, the faster the quicksand would flow. Perhaps to the current Liuchuan, getting along with each other was better than forgetting each other in the martial arts world.
"Fragrant Snow, your biggest weakness is that your heart is too soft. The person who should be a little more selfish is yourself. You don't have to leave the person you love just because you're afraid that I'm hurt. People are selfish for a time, and I have already been selfish once. "
"I did love you because of your appearance. Later, I discovered that I might not have loved your appearance entirely. It's better to be happy at first sight than not to be tired of it, like you and Xie Zimo. "I'm sorry, but in the end, I still can't enter your heart, but that's enough …"
A clear wind blew, and the bamboo shadows were mottled. The sunlight fell on his body, making him seem so gentle.
The white-haired Liuchuan sat in the courtyard with a gentle and sorrowful expression. He tightly hugged the Hundred Miles of Snow in his arms, as if he wanted to use all his life to express himself.
From the past to the present, from the ignorant youth to the one who had gone deep into the world, the memories of the past were still fresh in his mind, but time would not stop just because of this.
However, why would people feel sad? It was because no matter how beautiful something was, there would always be a time when they had to choose.
Choosing had always been the most difficult thing in the world …
Within the imperial palace of the Gansu Kingdom.
The imperial physicians and palace maids busied themselves as they trembled in fear while guarding the bed and treating the wounds on the unconscious cliff.
The water tray carried by the palace maid had already been dyed red by the bloody gauze. The imperial physician's hands were trembling as he treated the wound on the cliff. He was sewing and trembling at the same time. The palace maid beside him kept wiping the cold sweat off his forehead with a dry cloth. Right now, it was winter.
All of this was because of one sentence that Lu Shao Heng had said —
If you can't save her, I want all of you to die with her!
At the tea table, the man sat upright as if it had nothing to do with him. From time to time, he would glance sideways at the bed. Every glance, every gesture, was a warning to the imperial physician and the palace maid. It was the same if she couldn't survive!
Lu Shaoheng wasn't worried that the cliff would die accidentally. Instead, he was like the King of Hell, who thought he could control everyone's lives.
He wouldn't allow anyone to die, so that person couldn't die!
However, what he did not know was that there were some people that he could not retain even if he wanted to. In the end, he still lost his cliff …
A few days later, the injuries of Baili Qiangxue had almost healed. On this day, she received a letter, which was left behind by Liuchuan. When Yu Xuan handed the letter to Fuxue, he saw her hands trembling. She opened the envelope and watched as tears rolled down her cheeks.
This time, Liuchuan chose to leave the 100 miles of fragrant snow, never to return. As for Mo Juanxue, she did not chase after him. Instead, she silently read the letter, tears streaming down her face.
Yu Xuan did not read the letter, nor did she know its contents. Yu Xuan did not ask further, he knew that she would not tell him. She liked to hide her thoughts in her heart, and only Xie Zimo could see through her.
Zhong Xi was wearing a pair of tiger shoes with a pigtail tied at the back of his hair. He eagerly ran over and pulled at the corner of Yu Xuan's clothes.
Yu Xuan, who was still in a daze a moment ago, lowered her head, squatted down and looked at Zhong Xi, pinching his nose.
"Why didn't you come out and practice instead? "Go back and practice!" Yu Xuan pinched her nose, while Zhong Xi puffed up his cheeks with a look of reluctance.
"Big brother Yu Xuan, what's wrong with mother's face? Why isn't father back yet? " The innocent, harmless eyes seemed to take in.
"Little brat, if you don't listen to me obediently, then Mom and Dad won't want you anymore." Yu Xuan found it funny to see him pout when he knocked on his forehead.
"When will dad and mom be back?" Zhong Xi continued asking.
"Hm." Yu Xuan pondered for a while before revealing a mischievous smile, "You give me a back massage every day, they will be back very soon."
"You're bullying me!"
"Now you can even say such words? I bullied you? Who made you up by taking a piss or a piss? " Yu Xuan had learned how to be thick-skinned like Xie Zimo, but she didn't hesitate to reply, "The wet nurse and big sister Xiao Yan."
Yu Xuan didn't know what to say, so she could only pretend to be fierce and leave the courtyard while holding onto Jin Xi's hand.
"Why are you so concerned about Sister Xiao Yan? Why aren't you leaving with her?"
"But I like Big Brother Yu Xuan more."
"What do you like about me?"
"Fun."
"…"
"You don't need a reason to like someone."
"Stinking brat, don't always learn to speak like an adult."
Walnut Island.
The old Landsman was sitting in the shade of a fenced yard. It seemed to be summer and autumn all year round, and there was no winter chill at all. Long white hair, flapped by the sunflower fan, was sitting in the yard.
At the edge of the roof hung a shell wind chime. The wind chime made a sound that was pleasant to listen to. Inside the house, Wu Chen saw his father sitting in the shade of the courtyard, so he went over to have a chat with him.
He had stayed on the walnut island for several months. According to everyone's observations, he could still be considered honest and reliable, having a family member who could fulfill his request, his looks were not bad, and quite a few girls were interested in him. There were also countless number of matchmakers, but Lan Lan was the one who drove him back.
Lan Lan's thoughts were entirely on that kid, Tian Tian. She brought him to the seaside to fish for shells day and night, just like a couple. The Landsman also felt that it was time to find a home for his daughter.
Chen Xu also thought that the weather had been pretty good, but after thinking about it carefully, it was unknown where it came from, and he still lost his memory. He wondered if he would suddenly abandon Lan Lan.
"Father, brother, what are you two talking about?" Lan Lan came back with the bamboo basket and excitedly ran towards the Island Leader and Wu Chen Xu.
The other days, who had followed Lan Lan Lan into the house, began to pack up the things they brought back from the sea. Seeing that they had returned, the Landlord and Chen Xu did not continue their discussion.
The Landsman gave Chen Xu a look, then under the guise of going for a walk in the backyard, he took Lan Lan away, leaving Tian Lai and Chen Xu in the house.
