60 The old man 4
Xilingyue woke up unusually early that day. She was usually used to sleeping in for a while.
It was still dark at this time, and most of the guests in the inn were still resting. She walked quietly through the corridor and down the stairs, and unexpectedly saw Zhong Linqi sitting blankly on the threshold.
"Mr. Zhong? What are you doing?" She called out strangely.
Zhong Linqi came back to his senses and smiled lightly: "It's nothing, I just can't sleep."
Xilingyue said "Oh" and asked casually: "How is the weather today?"
"It's cloudless. It should be pretty good. It's suitable weather for traveling."
Xilingyue secretly sighed, farewell always comes sooner than people expect.
Today is the day when her agreement with Yu Shiqi ends. The guys in the inn will go to Jingrong to purchase goods as planned today. The guests who were stranded in the inn due to the wind and snow also got the news early. Many people
I plan to set off back to Jingrong with the inn’s restocking team.
How fast, it’s been a month already? Xilingyue clapped her fingers and carefully recalled the time she had spent recently, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She found that although she and Yu Shiqi had never had any chance to be alone together since that day, and the relationship between them in the inn was just a meeting and a nod, but she seemed to have become accustomed to this feeling of his presence.
This feeling is very strange. You don’t have to go out of your way to talk to him or do anything together. As long as you can see each other from a distance, you will feel at ease. Just because you can see each other from a distance, even the tedious and boring tasks can be solved.
Everyday life becomes cute.
What should we do in the future? Xilingyue held her cheek in distress, leaning on the right side of the door frame and feeling secretly worried.
Zhong Linqi, who was still sitting there, suddenly said leisurely: "Looking at the sky at dawn, it is gloomy and gloomy, but I hope that the wind and snow will come and I can keep you here."
"What is this?" Xilingyue's heart jumped.
"The Fuso people's haiku. They had a princess who took refuge in our country before. My people and I served as her escort for a while. I heard it from her." After Zhong Linqi answered, he narrowed his eyes and added: "It's over.
It has been many years, and that princess was probably a few years older than you."
"Is that the only one sentence?" Xilingyue asked.
"I have the next sentence, but you probably don't want to hear it."
"I want to hear it." Xi Lingyue looked down at him sideways.
"Look at the sky at dawn, it's gloomy. Even if the wind and snow subside, I will stay here." After Zhong Linqi finished reading, he stood up, turned around and walked back to the inn. At the same time, he explained to Xiling Yue: "What I just expressed
There is ambiguity, but what I actually mean is that I should not be the person you want to say this."
Xilingyue held her hands, staring at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, murmuring the two lines of poetry: "I hope that when the wind and snow come, I can stay here... Even if the wind and snow subside, I will stay here..."
"Yue'er."
Yu Shiqi's voice suddenly sounded behind her, startling her.
"You...when did you come? Get up so early?" Xi Lingyue turned around in a panic.
"You were talking to Mr. Zhong just now, I didn't dare to disturb you." He scratched the back of his head, "I have to leave today, and I can't rest peacefully even if I want to sleep a little longer."
It turned out that he had been there for a long time. Xilingyue's shoulders trembled slightly and she immediately looked away. She didn't want Yu Shiqi to see her reluctance.
But the more she didn't think about it, the more uncomfortable she became. It was like a hard stone was blocking her heart. Xilingyue blinked rapidly, but she still couldn't stop a tear from falling from the corner of her eye.
Yu Shiqi didn't notice that she was crying. He stood there and stared at the snow outside the door for a long time. Then he suddenly said: "I'm going to get a broom and sweep the snow from the door."
"Forget it..." Xilingyue pinched his sleeve, "You have to leave now, why do you still care about these trivial matters? Go pack your things, be careful not to leave anything important behind."
"If you really miss it, just wait until I finish paying the customer and come back to pick it up." He smiled lightly.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. At this moment, Xilingyue was really hoping that he would leave something behind, or that she might as well leave something by herself.
But what important things does he have? The steel seal talisman of Yunzhong Sword, the copper knot pillar of Tongfeng Gate, he carries all the important things with him, including the "heartbeat" bell she gave him.
Xilingyue smiled helplessly and dismissed her childish and willful thoughts.
Yu Shiqi swept the snow in front of the inn door into two piles on the left and right. He leaned on the broom and took a breath outside the door. He turned around and was about to talk to Xi Lingyue. When he saw her face, he was suddenly startled and the smile on his mouth froze.
Living.
Ever since he started clearing the snow, Xilingyue had been holding on to the doorframe and looking at him. The more she looked at him, the more she felt upset, and even felt a little aggrieved. She didn't know what she was aggrieved about, maybe she was complaining that Yu Shiqi didn't have anything for so many days.
Take the initiative to talk to yourself? Maybe it’s because he doesn’t show too much sadness and reluctance about the upcoming parting?
But you can't blame him for this, Xi Lingyue thought to herself, he was not wrong. Every free soul in this world is equal, and no one has to hang around anyone else and be accommodating in everything.
"Yue'er."
Her eyes were blurred by tears, and Xilingyue could not see clearly. Suddenly she heard his voice calling her, and followed the voice and leaned forward, throwing herself into his arms.
She finally didn't want to hold it in anymore and let herself cry out, grabbing Yu Shiqi's shoulders with both hands.
"Don't cry." Yu Shiqi was flustered by her. He had already tried his best to restrain his emotions, hoping that he could say goodbye to her and this inn that had left beautiful memories in a decent way.
But when Xilingyue did this, he immediately lost his power.
"The third thing... take care of yourself, be more careful when dealing with people, and don't be easily plotted. There are so many bad people in the world, and people like you are easy to bully."
Yu Shiqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he still owed Xi Lingyue two things. In fact, he was mentally prepared to go through thick and thin for her, but he didn't expect that she had no intention of embarrassing him at all.
"The fourth thing..."
"Is this the fourth one?" he asked with a wry smile, interrupting her.
"What's wrong! Don't you want to?" Xi Lingyue wiped her eyes and raised her head to look at him with a stubborn look on her face.
"I do, of course I do." He replied, "But I promised to do four things for you, but in the end, they all became... for myself."
Although the reason was a bit funny, he thought that since he agreed, it had to count.
"You can keep the fourth thing. I will listen to whatever you have to say now." He frowned slightly, "I don't want... I don't want myself to lose contact with Xihuang so quickly and owe you a moment."
Things should come to mind from time to time..."
"Then do you take the bell I gave you?"
"Of course, I always carry it with me."
"Then you will think of me when you see it." Xilingyue laughed through tears, "If you miss me, just listen to its voice."
Yu Shiqi nodded and said "Okay".
"Then I will keep the fourth thing." Xilingyue clenched her fist and put it on her heart, as if she had grasped something precious, "Yu Shiqi, you owe me one thing. Before you finish it,
Can’t die, do you understand?”
"Understood, my life was given by the young shopkeeper." Yu Shiqi solemnly agreed.
