The river is not wide, about five or six meters, and the water is clear and gurgling. I saw seven or eight willows on both sides of the bank, with lush branches and green leaves. Suddenly the wind blows, and the leaves fall to the sky and fall to the water bank. Their shapes are graceful, their postures are graceful, they are as graceful as a maid dancing in the air, and their appearance is extremely beautiful.
Ling Ning had no interest in fishing. She looked a little bored as she sat on the ferry and took out her mobile phone to play a small game. Beside her, Xiao Lin retracted his legs from the river, stood up, walked to Ling Ning with bare feet, and pulled her up onto the boat.
She was not polite and sat down next to the old man very casually.
"We are not in a hurry either." Xiao Lin sat on the edge of the boat, her tone neither urgent nor slow.
Her little feet, as white and tender as jade, stepped lightly on the water a few times under the angry eyes of the old man, stirring gently in the river.
It¡¯s like trying to scare away all the little fish that take the bait.
In Ling Ning's eyes, which looked like a bad guy, Xiao Lin didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Of course, this old man, who is nearly 70 years old, waited for a long time but no fish took the bait.
"You are so unkind, how can you fish for such an old man?" Perhaps he was annoyed. The old man put away the fishing rod in a depressed manner and rolled his eyes at Xiao Lin angrily. After Xiao Lin made such a fuss, how could he still catch fish?
Noticing the old man¡¯s movements, Xiao Lin also stopped playing and showed a flattering smile towards the old man.
She sat down dignifiedly and put on a well-behaved look in front of the old man: "Look, I can't catch this fish. How about I chat with you for a while? Sitting alone is boring. Don't you think so~"
""
Next to her, Ling Ning stared at Rin with squinted eyes, not knowing what rude thing she was thinking about.
¡°Tell me, tell me, if you want to ask anything, just ask.¡± The old man stroked his gray beard and said angrily. He finally figured it out. This guy clearly wanted to ask him about things. After her making such a fuss, she was now kind enough to chat with him!
Xiao Lin didn't care about the old man's anger and asked in a low voice: "The old man is really strong and strong. How old are you?"
"Maybe a hundred or eight, maybe a thousand, who knows." The old man answered perfunctorily.
Xiao Lin chuckled: "You are really getting stronger as you grow older. You are stronger than us young people."
"Girl, don't be a good girl. Just ask if you have anything, and the old man will answer truthfully." Perhaps Xiao Lin couldn't bear the compliments anymore, so the old man surrendered first.
"You are punting and carrying passengers here, so you should be familiar with some people."
"That's not necessarily true. I have seen too many people in these old age, and I am also old and have a bad memory. If there are guests who don't come often, I can't tell." The old man scratched his head and walked from the side of the boat. He took out a small wine flask, took a sip, and continued: "Some of the people I have passed away are still alive at this moment, and some have been separated forever. There are too many."
"You must remember the person I want to ask. She is living a good life. She comes here several times every year and stays for several days without knowing what to do. By the way, her name is Luo Ya."
"That girl, I remember that." The old man glared angrily: "Last time she came here, she broke Lao Man's fishing rod, which caused Lao Man to have to have Lao Chen Tou make a new one. You Next time I meet herwell, ask her to bring me a bottle of wine, and tell her that if she doesn't bring it, I won't ferry her next time."
"Do not worry"
"By the way, what's your relationship with that girl?"
"She is my second senior sister."
"Are you the disciple that Qingzong on Maoshan accepted a few years ago?"
The old man looked at her slightly surprised: "You have only been practicing Taoism for a few years, is it okay to join the world so soon?"
"I have seen purity, and I am fine wherever I am." Xiao Lin's tone was relaxed and freehand.
Not to mention Xiao Lin, who had already learned the art of divine enlightenment at this time. Even when she had just left Maoshan, she had already cultivated the divine attributes. After being condensed into a Yuan Fei, she could be said to be immune to all evils and undisturbed by external forces. In this state, everything she does comes from her true heart. She has already entered the sea of ??true nature and looks directly at the source of life. As for where you are, it really doesn't have much impact.
The secluded forest is quiet, and the bustling city is quiet. Even if you are in purgatory, you can still feel pure.
"It seems that all the things your lineage has gone through have not let you down. Old Man Lin really has a good disciple." The old man sighed, then squinted at the faint waterway in front of him, and slowly talked about Luo Ya Things:
"You also know that our ancient inheritances are more or less connected."
"Yes." Xiao Lin responded softly.
In this era, true inheritanceThere are always some connections between distant sects and ancient places.
"About ten years ago, your master came here with a little girl, and the old Taoist priest from Laoshan also came here with a disciple. The two of them and Mr. Su are old acquaintances, and they lived here for a while. We talk about Taoism and play every day. Due to neglect of discipline, Luo Ya and another little girl are running around in the courtyard and small courtyard, just like two little mice~" As he said this, the old man had far-reaching eyes and a deep smile. It seems that he is recalling the happiest time in the Su Garden.
"Then what?"
"Then, they met the pretty and arrogant young lady and had a big fight."
"Did Luo Ya win?" Ling Ning beside her had already become interested and asked with concern.
"No." The old man smiled and waved his hand, as if reminiscing: "Humph, don't look at how tall and beautiful this girl Luo Ya is now, when she was a child, she was a real little girl, and she was very fierce! Although fierce Ah, but with her small arms and legs at that time, she really couldn¡¯t beat the eldest lady.¡±
"How could it be possible? Isn't there another person? It's okay for two to fight against one." Hearing that Luo Ya didn't win, Ling Ning quickly made a blind move: "I don't believe that the eldest lady can fight against two!"
"If Luo Ya and another girl fought against the eldest lady, of course they would win, but the problem is that the relationship between the two guys was very bad at the time. They would stare at each other regardless of anything, and even get into a fight when their eyes turned red. Haha. , You have never seen the appearance of those two people at that time!" The old man laughed heartily thinking about the scene at that time, and at the end of his laughter, he picked up the wine bottle and took a swig: "Tearing each other's cheeks and rolling on the ground, we are not afraid. Dirty, hahahahaha"
"The three little brats were not in peace at that time, because there were no parents to take care of them, and no one else dared to take care of them, so they would fight several times every day. By the way, Luo Ya once lost the fight and lay down crying and fussing. I can¡¯t get up from the ground~¡±
Xiao Lin just listened silently, with a subtle twitch at the corner of his mouth, rudely imagining Luo Ya crying and rolling on the ground.
Ling Ning was a little unhappy: "Tsk~~ If we fight now, Luo Ya will definitely win, she is so powerful!"
"Hehe, we can't fight anymore. We can't fight anymore."
"Why?"
Although Xiao Lin didn't ask, his expectant eyes were clearly revealed.
"Because"
"Bossman, if you keep talking, the eldest lady will be unhappy if she finds out~" At some point, the middle-aged woman had come back and winked at the boating old man from a distance: "That shop's The mochi is sold out, come back tomorrow.¡±
"I know, I know, I just won't tell you." After a haha, the old man winked at Xiao Lin and the two of them: "You can ask yourselves when you see the eldest lady later. Haha, I guess the eldest lady won't say it. Already"
¡¡¡¡
The old man was holding the boat and rowing very slowly, and the few of them could hardly feel any shaking.
The calm water surface left a line of microwaves after they crossed, spreading to the moss-covered stone banks on both sides.
"Rin, you said Luo Ya comes here every year?"
"Yes, during those years in Maoshan, she would go out several times every year. The time was not fixed, sometimes for three to five days, sometimes for half a month. I still remember this guy in the second year of Maoshan in my district. I have been gone for a whole month, and I am taking care of those two brats Hongyi and Bingyu. Hum, they are Luo Ya's disciples and adopted daughters!" After saying this, Xiao Lin slightly complained about Luo Ya's irresponsibility.
During that short period of time, the two brats Hongyi and Bingyu were still playing around with a bunch of brats during the day, as if the person who was always in charge of them was happy to leave. But as time passed, the excitement of the two of them being freed from discipline also faded. It was probably the fourth week, and when Xiao Lin discovered them, they would secretly hide under the covers and cry cowardly. After Xiao Lin's repeated questioning, she found out that those two idiots were actually afraid that their master would find them annoying and not want them anymore.
"Really, I haven't seen her mention it after coming here so many times. Hey, that little guy Luo Ya is actually old enough to be someone else's master." After hearing Xiao Lin's words, the middle-aged woman covered her mouth She laughed: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, that fierce little one has grown so big. Alas" As she said this, she sighed with unknown meaning.
"Ferocious Was Luo Ya very fierce when she was a child?" Ling Ning heard this word again and again and couldn't help but ask curiously. In addition to being a little cold in her eyes, Luo Ya's stern tone of instruction or her usual cat-like lazy posture couldn't be compared with the word 'fierce'!
"Well, it's very fierce!" The beautiful middle-aged woman covered her chest in fear: "At that time, the eldest lady was the healthiest and the strongest of the three little ones. Luo Ya was the smallest.?He is also the smallest in strength, but he is the most ferocious one! As for Xiaoyethat guy is the most playful and irritating one. Every time he gets into trouble, he always wants to blame it on Luo Ya. Haha, she suffered a lot from Luo Ya at that time. fist. "
"The last one is tomorrow night?" Xiao Lin asked aloud.
"Well, that's her. Have you seen her?"
"I think I met her once last year, but they were just the incarnations of her spiritual thoughts, and I have never met her in person. I did meet her in person earlier this year, but it was not a pleasant encounter. We almost destroyed Fenghua City. .¡±
"Reallyhow does she make you feel?"
Rin thought for a while and answered truthfully: "Greedy, stingy, and protective of shortcomings. By the way, I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. I always feel that Mingye is always trying to make Luo Ya angry, but I think she is a little bit I¡¯m afraid Luo Ya will be really angry.¡±
"Haha, it's still the same." The middle-aged woman showed a look of understanding, then lowered her eyes, recalling the past days of chasing and fighting in the small courtyard: "Now think about it, Xiao Ye is the only one among the three who has changed. The youngest. The fierce little Luo Ya has grown up, and the spoiled eldest lady has become well-educatedOnly Xiao Ye is still the same as before."
At the end of her words, with her beautiful face, she spoke in an incomprehensible tone, with a trace of lingering sadness in her eyes: "They have all grown up, which is goodbut maybe this is not what they expected. If time can last forever, How wonderful it would be to stay when they were little"-
