Fate is immortal

When you go out, everything in the world is covered with silver makeup.The snow outside the door was more than a foot thick, knee-deep, and the warm south wind a few days ago was replaced by a knife-like north wind, chilling the bones.

But Ah Yuan's blood was boiling at the moment, and he didn't feel the cold at all. He even took a deep breath and closed his eyes to feel the chill in the wind.A burst of refreshment spread from his chest to his whole body, as if the aura of heaven and earth had been sucked into his body. At this time, he was riding the sword Lingfeng, flying above the nine heavens, overlooking the silver-white land...

A Yuan's soul, whose long-cherished wish was fulfilled, flew away for a long time, and then remembered that there was still something to do on the ground, so he hurriedly revived his soul forcibly, and said with the most enthusiastic and kind smile: "Sister Ning'er, our village has mountains and rivers. The scenery is not bad. It’s just that it’s freezing cold now, so I don’t know where to take you, do you have any places you want to go?” ——The old man’s mission today is to take Ning’er around .

"Ning'er, wherever you want to go..."

This was the first time Ah Yuan heard Ning'er speak. She spoke softly as if she was talking to herself. She actually broke down the short six words into three paragraphs. Like a toddler who just started talking.

A Yuan secretly smiled inwardly, this little girl looks like she should be ten years old, but she is just like when Xiao Xiao first came here, not only shy of strangers, but also clumsy with words, she is really a piece of jade...

A Yuan's nature of teasing people instantly shattered the way the old man told him to treat guests, and there was a hint of evil in his smile, "You are a guest, and my father told me to take you wherever you want. But you can go wherever you want." Okay, that is to say, you don't want to go anywhere, if you don't want to go anywhere, then I can't go anywhere, and the two of us can only stand here forever."

Ning'er was obviously taken aback by what she said. She tilted her head and thought for a while before slowly uttering three words: "The cabin..."

As soon as he heard the guest's name to go to his own treasure land, A Yuan was naturally very proud. While leading the way, he talked endlessly about his thrilling adventure trip and the beauty of Xiaojing Lake and Lake Residence.

It's a pity that Ning'er is obviously not in the mood to listen to him, the one-foot-thick snow is just a small trouble to Ah Yuan, but to Ning'er who is still small, the deep snow is waistless.In order to prevent the wind and snow from pouring into her arms, she could only hold onto the collar tightly with both hands, lower her head and grit her teeth, and move forward step by step like wading across a river.

Seeing how difficult it was for her to walk, Ah Yuan said, "Ning'er, the road is so difficult, I don't think we should go. Let's go home first, and go when the snow melts tomorrow."

"No, no..." Ning'er stopped and looked up at A Yuan, but her tone was unquestionably firm.

A Yuan didn't expect the little girl to be so yearning for his treasured land, so of course he would accompany her to the end, but going on like this is not an option, so she said, "Then, I'll carry you on my back."

"Ah?...No, no, no, no, no..." Ning'er was so frightened that she took several steps back, opened her eyes wide and said "no" several times in succession.

A Yuan was really puzzled, how could such a natural proposal not work?Are you afraid that you won't succeed if you eat her?Xiaoxiao was not afraid of being born to this level at the time...

A Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "Okay then, can I pull you to the head office? Let's go quickly." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but pull Ning'er up and leave.

Ning'er struggled hard twice, but unfortunately her strength was too weak, and she couldn't break free from A Yuan's clutches.A Yuan was merciless when dealing with this kind of little girl, and he refused to let go at all.Ning'er struggled for a long time, but in the end she had no choice but to give up resistance, lowered her head resignedly, and let A Yuan lead her.That appearance is like being caught as a thief and taken to report to the police.

Usually it only takes half an hour to walk, but this time it took more than an hour, and it was already noon when we arrived at the cabin.A Yuan dragged Ning'er all the way, covered in sweat as he walked, and although Ning'er almost struggled all the way, her little hands were always cold.

As soon as Ah Yuan let go, Ning'er backed away with a huff, as if afraid of being caught by him again.A Yuan didn't care, wiped off his sweat and said, "Hey, this is the Little Mirror Lake, it's all frozen now, so it's nothing to see. I thought this small wooden house was lived by immortals, but it looks like it used to be My folks... come in, I'm going to light the stove. Hey, why are you still standing there?"

In any case, Ning'er finally entered the house, but she refused to warm up with A Yuan, and stood at the farthest place from A Yuan, close to the door.The black fur coat was held in her arms, blocking her body like a shield.

Ning'er's guarded appearance was really cute and funny, and it reminded A Yuan of Xiao Xiao back then—she was very curious and followed him all the time, but she was so scared that she always wanted to hide.If she said something suddenly, or if she drew closer, she would run away in fright.

Thinking of Xiao Xiao, all kinds of methods back then immediately came to mind, A Yuan suddenly turned around and asked, "Ning'er, how old are you?"

As expected, Ning'er subconsciously almost ran away from the door. Seeing that A Yuan was just smiling and didn't intend to rush over, she managed to calm down and replied seriously: "Ten, ten years old..."

A Yuan snickered in his heart, and asked again: "Then, how old is Qing'er?"

"No, I can't say..."

"Why can't you tell?"

"I can't say anything about my sister..."

As soon as A Yuan heard it, she immediately became interested. The more she didn't want to talk about it, the more fun it would be to trick her into talking about it.

"Then, how old is sister older than you?"

"No, I can't say..."

"Okay, let's not talk about your sister, but you. How old are you younger than your sister?"

"Three, three years old..."

A Yuan almost broke his belly laughing, this little girl is so much fun!What else can I tell her?Qing'er is obviously a lady from a rich family, otherwise the old man wouldn't just rely on her as a master, and rich people all have surnames...

"Ning'er, what's your last name?"

Contrary to A Yuan's expectation, Ning'er shook her head and said, "Ning'er, no, last name..."

A Yuan rolled his eyes and asked again: "Then, what is Qing'er's father's name?"

"do not know……"

"Does Qing'er's father have a last name?"

"some……"

A Yuan nodded in satisfaction, it seems that Ning'er is not Qing'er's biological sister.He wasn't surprised at this, for although they were both very pretty girls, they didn't look alike at all.According to the metaphor he can think of, Qing'er is like a ruddy apple, while Ning'er is like a crystal clear grape.

From this point of view, Ning'er should be a girl like "maiden" and "servant" often seen in the stories in the book, who is responsible for taking care of the young lady's daily life.However, this kind of girls in the story are quick, capable and eloquent, which is really far from the one in front of me.No matter how you look at it, Ning'er doesn't look like she can take care of Qing'er, and vice versa.

Ever since Xiaoxiao changed from being afraid of life to wishing to cling to him, A Yuan hadn't tasted this kind of fun for a long time.Now that it is delivered to your door, how can you be polite, and you keep asking questions one after another.

After going back and forth, Ah Yuan found the doorway, asked so fast that she had no time to think, and if words such as "sister" and "Qing'er" did not appear, Ning'er would usually answer.So A Yuan cheered up and asked all kinds of tricky and weird questions in a variety of ways, not allowing her to think at all.But Ning'er answered seriously, trying hard to figure out how to answer every question, so she was dizzy after a few times, and could only ask and answer, completely at the mercy of others.

A Yuan asked everything he could think of, but it was a pity that Ning'er didn't know much about the world, and she was only with Qing'er all day long, and didn't have any contact with others at all. What A Yuan learned from a lot of "don't know" and "can't say" There are very few of them.

Fortunately, the drunkard's intention is not to drink, his pleasure is to see this somewhat dull little girl frowning, answering his every question seriously, sometimes confused, sometimes embarrassed.

After asking like this for more than an hour, even Ah Yuan couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that it was past noon, he said, "Ning'er, is there any place you want to go? If not, let's go back."

"No, I can't go back!" Ning'er suddenly became nervous, stood up straight and blocked the door, as if she was afraid that A Yuan would snatch the door and escape.

A Yuan asked in surprise, "Why can't you go back?"

Although Ning'er seemed a little guilty, she still said firmly: "It's dark, before, I can't go back..."

"Huh?" A Yuan immediately put on a serious expression and asked, "Who told you that? The old man?"

"No, no..."

"That's Qing'er?"

Ning'er was very embarrassed, but still reluctantly replied: "No, I can't say..."

Suddenly seven or eight thoughts flashed through A Yuan's mind: "Could it be that instead of asking me to accompany her, but letting her watch me and not let me go home?...What does Qinger mean? Impossible, it must be instigated by the old man... That's right, the old man and Mengmeng's father and daughter always have some secrets behind my back, and now it's not surprising to add an inner disciple..."

If it was different from normal times, Ah Yuan would go back to eavesdrop and do some damage.But the old man couldn't afford to offend him right now, so he had to let him go.However, seeing Ning'er's appearance as if she was facing a formidable enemy, it would be a bit unreasonable not to play tricks on her.

A Yuan stood up slowly, and said in a deep voice: "There must be a ghost in here, I have to go back and have a look!" As he spoke, he walked slowly towards Ning'er step by step.

Ning'er's eyes widened, and she hugged the fur coat tightly, her body trembling slightly, as if every step A Yuan took brought her a huge sense of oppression.She instinctively wanted to run away from the door, but for some reason, she gritted her teeth and persisted, refusing to back down even a single step.

Seeing Ah Yuan walking in front of her step by step, Ning'er also changed from trembling to trembling, and sat softly on the ground, her whole body curled up into a ball, she turned her face to the side and closed her eyes, as if she was about to cry, but she still Leaning tightly against the door.

A Yuan took square steps like a dragon and a tiger. He thought that this mighty bear would have to retreat three points, but he didn't expect that she would walk in front of her. The little girl still didn't run away with a scream as he expected.

A Yuan couldn't laugh or cry for a while, he couldn't bear it, but couldn't help but want to continue teasing her, after thinking for a while, he said to Ning'er with a smile: "Since you don't want to go back so much—well, play a game with me, I'm not in a hurry to go back, how about it?"

Ning'er never expected that things would turn around, she turned her head and took a peek at A Yuan, and asked cautiously, "What, what, a game?..."

"It's very simple, Xiaoxiao and I often play. We both look at each other with wide eyes, whoever blinks first loses, and the loser has to be obedient, and he has to do what he is asked to do, how about it? "Ah Yuan smiled wickedly.

Ning'er froze all over, her eyes fell to the side, a little bit out of her mind.After a long time, he slowly said: "Then, well..."

A Yuan moved his hands and feet with a smile, and blinked his eyes a few times to prepare for the movement. Then he sat down cross-legged, with his hands on his knees, leaned forward, and assumed what he thought was a "tiger crouching" posture, viciously. staring at Ning'er's face.

Ning'er had never seen such a posture before, so frightened, she yelled, and hurriedly covered her face with a fur coat, and hid to the side, but was pulled back by A Yuan.Forced to do nothing, Ning'er could only sit sideways on the ground, hugging the fur coat in her arms, struggling for a long time, then gritted her teeth, turned her head slowly, and met A Yuan's sight.

Ah Yuan wanted to make trouble, but seeing that Ning'er's hair covered most of her face, and she couldn't see her right eye at all, she protested, "No, your eye is covered by your hair..." He stretched out his hand Just wanted to brush her hair out.

"no no!--"

Ning'er's reaction was extremely violent, she yelled, swung A Yuan's hand away, and slammed it against the door backwards.I don't know how her petite body can burst out with such a great force all of a sudden, knocking the heavy wooden door open.

The cold wind was howling, and the snow that fell from the roof hit Ning'er, but she didn't care about it, she just covered her face with a fur coat in trembling, as if her face was the ugliest thing in the world, and she couldn't even die Let others see.It also seemed that she no longer dared to open her eyes to look at this world. Only by hiding in the darkness could she find a sense of security.

A Yuan was stunned with fright, not knowing what he had done wrong, he was stunned for a while, then slowly stood up, afraid of scaring her again, and said softly: "Yes, I'm sorry..."

The two confronted each other in the strong wind for a long time, and Ning'er finally calmed down, walked into the wooden house silently, and closed the door again.The howling wind was blocked from the door, and the cabin fell silent for a while.

Ning'er leaned against the door with her hands behind her back, no timidity and shyness in her eyes, she just looked directly at A Yuan calmly.

Different from the little black and bright pupils, Ning'er's pupils are light brown and not bright, as if covered with layers of veils, making it impossible for people to detect the color hidden in the depths.If the small eyes are like a clear spring, clear to the bottom, like a mirror like jade, then Ning'er's eyes are like candles flickering in the wind, ethereal and shadowy like traces.

A Yuan was attracted by that gaze, unconsciously, his eyes gradually blurred, he felt the world spinning in a trance, he seemed to fly up, and flew into those staring eyes...

Among the green mountains and green waters, a boy is holding a little girl in his arms, with a fiery red fox at his feet, struggling to climb up...

…………

A teenager stood on the roof, with a mischievous smile, aiming a slingshot at a big white goose flopping around in panic.An old man dressed as a hunter frantically looked around for a ladder, but he couldn't seem to find it...

…………

A boy lifted some thick books over his head and threw them to the ground, shouting, "I don't want to read these old books! I want to go out and play! I want to fly in the sky!"

A young man bent down, picked up the books one by one, gently brushed off the dust on them, and looked at the child with such gentle eyes...

…………

On the green peak, surrounded by clouds and mist, a long-bearded Taoist stepped down from the clouds, and handed a scrawny, dying child into the hands of a young Taoist, but said coldly: "It's not him..."

…………

A child was lying in a light array full of colorful streamers. There was no trace of expression in the clear pupils, just staring blankly at the sky.His finger was cut open, and blood flowed drop by drop into a yellow-brown stone plate.This scene never stops...

…………

A baby was crying, and its tender hands were patting the face of an old man.The old man's face was covered with wrinkles, his hair and beard were snow-white, his eyes were full of confusion and sadness, but he still smiled and gently stroked the baby's little face...

…………

I woke up leisurely and found myself lying on the cold white jade steps.

Why do I have such a bad headache? ……who I am?What is here again?

In the distance is the vast Milky Way, the bright stars, this jade step hangs between the sky and the earth, the upper and lower ends are hidden in the vast sea of ​​clouds, no one knows where it leads.

This is not my residence, there are courtyards, waterside pavilions, jade fences and golden walls everywhere.It is mild and windless, with spring mountains and springs of clear water.At any time, there are always fairy music playing, flowers blooming, birds dancing and beasts playing...

I want to go back, but I don't know where to go.

superior?or down?

There was a white jade bottle by my hand, and the jade liquid soaked my sleeves.I lazily got up, sniffed the scent of wine on my cuff, and slowly walked down the jade steps...

At the end of the jade steps is a white light.Passing through the white light, what appeared in front of us was the as-washed blue sky and long white clouds.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, there is an endless wilderness.Among the green and green grass, there are all kinds of unknown wild flowers blooming.The breeze blows, and the vast sea of ​​grass rolls up waves, rushing from the sky to the feet, bringing the fragrance of flowers and bursts of refreshment.

In the middle of this world is a big tree, under the canopy like an umbrella, a young girl is sleeping quietly, as if she is integrated with this world.

The wind stopped when it reached her side, as if it was afraid of disturbing her dream, and only sprinkled petals on her body...

I quietly looked at the sleeping girl, staring at her peaceful sleeping face, for some reason, countless emotions suddenly rushed to my chest.

I don't know what that emotion was, but it was so strong.It was so strong, it felt like tearing my chest open.

I didn't care about the pain in my chest, I gritted my teeth desperately, moved my feet, just wanted to walk in front of her, and wipe the petals off my face for her...

Suddenly, a loud shout shattered the whole world——

"Bold - bold -!"
