Chapter 171
Tu Danlin looked at Xiaoman silently.

And Xiao Man just cried, crying incessantly.Memories popped up in my mind.In the days when the home and the bank were at two o'clock and one line, her activities after get off work were reading books and watching dramas, and occasionally watching a horror movie to wake up the nerves that were numb from daily mechanical work.Sometimes a male colleague would send a WeChat invitation to a date, but she would reject them one by one.The seniors in the university invited her to dinner, but she was also excused by saying that she was too busy working in the bank.

She clearly knew that her heart had been filled by an unknown man long ago, and she couldn't hold anyone anymore. For 24 years, she has been waiting for that person to appear. This kind of thinking is the same obsession as Fairy Zixia in "A Chinese Journey to the West": "My ideal person is an unrivaled hero. One day he will step on the colorful clouds to marry me .”

It was December 31st, the most important year-end settlement day for the bank.She put away all the vouchers, locked the cabinet and turned off the computer. She put on her red over-the-knee coat over the suit and overalls, and looked at her phone, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

After exiting the staff passage of the bank, she came to a street where there was no one there. When she looked up, she couldn't help laughing.

Under the dim street lights, the heavy snow has covered the streets with a thick layer of snow.

She had never seen such a large amount of snow. She reached out to catch it, and large flakes fell on her cold fingertips like feathers.

I wanted to call a taxi to take her home, but the snow is so precious, anyway, tomorrow is the New Year's Day holiday, so it's better to walk back on foot.

So she went down the steps and into the snow.

Suddenly a gust of wind rolled up the snow on the ground and rushed towards her.She quickly covered her head and turned her back, but she heard someone shouting her name in the wind behind her: "Xiao Man!"

She turned her head reflexively, and saw a handsome man in scale armor with a spear in his hand reaching out to her in the wind.

At that moment, she knew that the person she was waiting for had finally appeared, and she resolutely stretched out her hand, holding the man's hand tightly.

In the next second, she was taken into the wind, and when she woke up again, she had become Chang Xiaoman of Leifu.

If it wasn't for Lei Yuxiu, she wouldn't have come to this world.

Without Lei Yuxiu, what would this world mean to her?

Tu Danlin looked at Xiao Man distressedly, raised his right hand lightly, drew a hypnotic spell, and pushed it into the back of her head.

Xiaoman soon fell asleep with tears streaming down his face.

When she woke up, it was already dark.

She jumped off the bed, opened the door and ran to the yard.

Si Xing was standing in the courtyard, looking up at the stars in the sky.

"Si Xing? How's it going!?" Xiao Man rushed to him and asked anxiously.

Si Xing showed distress, shook his head and said, "General Lei's fate has fallen."

Xiao Man was stunned, and she immediately understood what Xuan Yue had said about Lei Yuxiu's feeling of being heartbroken when he heard the news of her death.

Tu Danlin walked up behind her, looked at her red and swollen eyes, and her haggard expression, and his heart ached beyond words: "Xiao Man, after all, he is just a mortal with his destiny and reincarnation, so you don't have to be so sad."

"Reincarnation..." Xiaoman murmured.

Tu Dan Linben squatted down and looked into her eyes, and said earnestly, "Wait until we find that earth soul for you, and your divine power is unsealed and you return to the immortal position, then go find the reincarnated Lei Yuxiu, okay?"

"But who knows how many years it will take for him to be reincarnated, and who he will become after that?" Xiao Man immediately grabbed Tu Dan Lin and asked.

Tu Danlin smiled softly and said, "Since I can find you, I can definitely help you find him."

Xiaoman thought for a while, then nodded unexpectedly.

Tu Danlin hugged her horizontally, and comforted her kindly and tenderly: "Now you need to have a good sleep, don't think about anything, let's talk about it after recharging your energy."

"Okay." Xiaoman's voice was soft, like a little rabbit, allowing Tu Danlin to carry her into the room and put her on the bed.

Cover the quilt, close your eyes, turn around and fall asleep.

Tu Danlin didn't expect her to be so quiet, so he helped her lock the door and left in relief.

When he came to the yard, he clenched his hands tightly into fists, as if he wanted to crush something.

Si Xing came over: "Master..."

"Do you know where there is a wine shop?"

"Yes, you come with me." Si Xing led Tu Danlin out of Xuanzhou Garden and walked towards the wine shop on the street.

The all-night wine shop is called Hazama. The geisha of Dongying play the shamisen and sing the tune of babbling. Under the warm yellow light, the diners drink the locally brewed Dongying sake and enjoy sea grapes and fish. Class meals, quietly chatting about things in the north and south.

Tu Danlin found a secluded room.

Si Xing used the excuse that he didn't like drinking and waited outside the restaurant.

The proprietress in the leek green robe brought several gorgeously dressed women from Dongying to the room to perform songs and dances for him.

While drinking, Tu Danlin listened to their melodious and sad tunes, and the leading woman sang.The song turned and turned a thousand times, like weeping and complaining, as if it sang through the hearts of the people.

Tu Danlin drank a few cups in a row, which song did the woman finish singing?He solemnly asked her for advice: "Girl, singing such a gentle and beautiful love song in front of a strange man, what are you thinking?"

The woman bowed her head to salute, and replied slowly and tactfully: "Guest, you asked me what I was thinking when I was singing. Actually, I was just singing for you, and I didn't think about anything."

"If you didn't think about anything, how could you sing so sadly?" Tu Danlin asked again.

The woman smiled kindly, and explained calmly and simply: "My singing voice has only years of training and no emotion. The emotion you hear in this song is just your own feeling."

"So that's how it is," Tu Danlin smiled wryly, and drank the wine in his glass, "Then do you know why I did this?"

The woman poured a glass of wine for herself, raised her glass to Tu Danlin, and replied in a calm voice, "Even if there are thousands of explanations, all the suffering in the end is nothing but loneliness." Drink up.

Tu Danlin laughed lightly, and asked again: "Obviously I was talking to you, but you said I was lonely, why?"

The woman got up to pour wine for Tu Danlin, and then filled her own glass again: "You can't relieve the loneliness in your heart by talking to me. Even if all the girls in our store come to talk with you, you are still lonely .Even if all the women in this street of flowers come here, as long as it’s not the one in your heart, we can’t help you get rid of this feeling.”

"Then what's the significance of your job?" Tu Danlin asked very solemnly without contempt in his tone.

The woman toasted him again, drank it and replied: "Most of the customers who come to this store want to forget their troubles. We just sell them the illusion of forgetting their troubles according to their needs, so that they can think that they can forget their troubles." Take control of your heart and gain strength from it."

"I didn't expect you to say such a thing so frankly." Tu Danlin smiled back and gave her a glass.

"Women like me sell vain, and what they get is endless loneliness, like being stuck in a quagmire forever. And there are some people who spend their whole lives looking for someone who can fill the void in their hearts, and they are desperate for it, without fear of life and death. You are such a person, aren't you?" The woman raised her eyes and looked at Tu Danlin, "After drinking this cup, you should leave here, this place does not belong to people like you, you don't need all the vain things here, Including wine, singing and dancing."

Tu Danlin suddenly woke up, her words seemed to be a sincere reminder.

He cupped his hands to say thank you to the woman, got up and was about to leave.Just as he was going out, he turned and looked at the woman: "I still don't know your name after talking for so long."

"Since you won't come here again, why do you need to know my name?" The woman said goodbye to Tu Danlin respectfully.

Tu Danlin strode out of the restaurant, Si Xing was a little surprised that he would go back so soon.

"Si Xing, what the geisha told me reminded me, let's go back faster."

"Master, what did you find?" Si Xing wondered.

"Xiaoman just listened to the results of your astrology, and she acted too well." Tu Danlin said with a face as dark as night, "I thought she accepted the fact that Lei Yuxiu died, but now that I think about it, she definitely didn't cry. The kind of woman I forgot. Back then, she was Zhihua who dared to enter the demon world with thousands of souls alone in order to save Su Yu."
