The day Wei ruoyi and Wei Yan left binghe County, they got up early in the morning and slipped out of the back door of the county government.
As in the past, before dawn, the whole glacier County seems to be sleeping in the wind and snow, which is very quiet and serene.
When they reached the avenue leading to the east gate of the county, Wei ruoyi had to strangle Xiaobai.
They thought they walked quietly and didn't disturb the people of binghe County, but they didn't want to. When they just arrived at the street, there were scattered torches on both sides of the road in front of them. Gradually, those scattered torches became two long dragons shaking bright flames, winding along the street until the East Gate of the county. The fire light jumped, which reflected the road leading to the east gate of the county, like the day.
I don't know when, the people of binghe county were separated in an orderly way, waiting for them quietly on both sides of the street. There was no one to maintain order. Everyone stood spontaneously. The middle of the street seemed to be specially vacated for them. Even the snow was cleaned all night, revealing the original bluestone paved ground.
We support the old and carry the young, one by one, but no one makes any noise, just waiting quietly.
"Why don't you go?" felt the carriage stop, and Wei Yan in the carriage asked.
"If you return, the people of binghe county will come to see you off." the guard took a look and immediately reported to Wei Yan.
Wei Yan opened the curtain of the carriage and saw that Wei ruoyi, who was riding next to his car, had taken the lead to dismount, and all the people in the Wei house also dismounted.
Wei Yan's heart was also shocked. He pulled his clothes down from the carriage and walked side by side with Wei ruoyi.
A group of people walked silently through the street in the middle of the crowd and walked forward speechless all the way.
Wei Yan clasped her fist and arched at the people on both sides of the street. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something. He could see that almost all the people who came to see them off were reluctant to give up. Wherever he and Wei ruoyi passed by, the people there would kneel down and salute them respectfully.
And he and Wei ruoyi couldn't stop returning gifts.
Wei ruoyi only felt that his eyes were sour, hot, and his nose and hair were blocked.
She saw everyone who came to see them off, whether the old man or the child, standing in the wind and snow, kneeling down to them sincerely.
When she saw a pregnant woman holding her waist, kneeling hard and holding a child under the age of three around her to salute herself, Wei ruoyi couldn't help it anymore. She rushed to the woman in three steps and two steps to hold her body that she wanted to sink.
"Sister-in-law, don't do this!" Wei ruoyi said.
When she opened her mouth, the people who came to see them off couldn't help it anymore. The woman who was held by Wei ruoyi first shed tears, "Your Highness, our binghe county had a stable new year only when you came, but you just came and had to go. What can we do in the future?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law." Wei ruoyi's heart was also sour. She comforted, "I've wiped out all the thieves and bandits nearby. There will be no more thieves and bandits to disturb your life. If there are, Wei ruoyi will still bring people to suppress the bandits and give everyone a peaceful life." she said in a loud voice, not only to the woman, It also uses internal force to send out the sound gently and into everyone's ears.
"Your Highness! Lord Wei! Can you not go!" I don't know who shouted in the crowd. Then the people immediately boiled up, and everyone echoed with tears, "yes, your highness, your highness, can you not leave binghe county."
Wei Yan was also sour at the bottom of his heart. He raised his hand and pressed around. It was not easy to make the boiling crowd quiet a little.
"Listen to me. Although our brother and sister haven't been here for a long time, it's also an honor for our brother and sister to receive such attention. Don't worry, your highness and I are leaving binghe County, but my successor will protect you as I do. Now our brother and sister say goodbye to you. We have a chance to see you again. I, Wei Jingxue, wish you all a happy family, peace and happiness! "Wei Yan said and bowed deeply.
With this bow, he almost brushed his long sleeves to the ground.
There was clear snow in the sky. In the molten fire, his figure seemed to be integrated with the world.
"Lord Wei!" the people reddened their eyes again, and they saluted one after another.
At this time, the people were helped out of an old man.
Wei ruoyi and Wei Yan saw that the oldest old man in binghe county was said to be over a hundred years old.
On weekdays, he no longer came out and walked around, but today he came to the middle of the road with the help of his great grandson.
"Princess, sir." the old man was held to salute, and Wei Yan came forward to help him.
"Mr. Chen, you are a hundred years old. You don't have to do this gift." Wei Yan said quickly.
Although the old man was unable to move, his eyes were clear. He grabbed Wei Yan's hand, "I've lived for a hundred years, and I can see the vicissitudes of binghe county. After ten years of banditry, I can see how many people have died in binghe county and how many families have been lost. Only when the princess and adults come, binghe county can restore its original stability. Now you're leaving. I understand that you are like a swan and have high aspirations. You're an eagle flying in the sky. You shouldn't have been in me We are delayed in such a small place, but we are reluctant to let you go. Please don't blame the nonsense and delusions of our people, your highness and Lord Wei. "
"The old man's words are serious." Wei Yan's eyes were redder and leaned over quickly.
"We didn't welcome adults when they came. Now that adults and county leaders have left, let us people who have benefited from the kindness of the princess and adults do our best," the old man said.
"We have received all our wishes, but it's cold outside. Please go back," Wei ruoyi said.
"Your Highness, we just wanted to watch you leave quietly, but now everyone's mood can't calm down." the old man looked at Wei ruoyi and said, "Please also get on the horse and get on the bus. Continue to move forward. The people of binghe County sing a song here for the princess and Lord Wei, and send them off all the way. May your highness be blessed with life and health, and may Lord Wei rise up in the future."
The old man bowed to Wei ruoyi and Wei Yan. He deeply worshipped. Although he was supported by Wei Yan, he was still determined to finish the ceremony.
