One Hundred Thousand Reasons For Krypton Gold

   Chapter 1772 My years as a boss (184)

   "What kind of person is he?" Xu Xu was curious: "The person who can make you like must be excellent, right?"

  “…”

  Lingqiong smiled and didn't answer Xu Xu's words.

  Xu Xu also seemed to be just asking casually, not intending to inquire into her privacy.

   "When Brother Yi comes back, I can be Brother Yi's bride."

   "Are you happy?"

  Xu Xu's face was slightly red: "Of course I'm happy to be with the person I like."

   Xu Xu couldn't stop talking about her sweetheart.

   She spoke for a while, and seeing that Lingqiong had not responded, she could not help but stop: "I'm sorry, don't you want to hear me say this?"

   "No." Lingqiong said.

  Xu Xu scratched his head and stopped talking about her and Brother Yi.

   "A Ling... You didn't say where you came from, why did you appear in the mountain stream... But you never thought about leaving here?"

  Lingqiong: "It's very good here, I like it very much."

  Xu Xu snorted, "What about the person you like? Won't he worry about you?"

   That question, Xu Xu did not get an answer.

  …

  …

  Lingqiong met Brother Yi three days later.

   is a very handsome young man. Standing with Xu Xu, he is indeed a good match.

   The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they were crooked together, like conjoined babies, and could never be separated again.

  The villagers all knew that the two were a couple, and they only smiled kindly when they saw them.

   The wedding of Xu Xu and Brother Yi is set soon.

  The wedding in the village is simple.

   Set a date, invite people from the village to dinner, and witness it.

  The day before the wedding, Xu Xu called up Lingqiong and climbed the mountain opposite the village with other young boys and girls in the village.

   There is a huge tree on the top of the mountain.

  The tree is covered with wood chips.

  Those pieces of wood collided in the wind, and the sound was crisp and melodious.

  Xu Xu said that this was the sacred tree in their village.

  The newlyweds who want to get married will come here the day before, hang up the 'lucky card' with their own hands, and pray to grow old together.

   Of course, this divine tree does more than that. People in the village will always come to pray for blessings.

   "A Ling, you can write one too."

  Xu Xu put a piece of wood into Lingqiong's hand.

   "Can I write too?"

   "Of course, the divine tree will bless everyone." Xu Xu said with a smile: "If you want to write, you can make a wish directly like this, and the divine tree will hear it."

   Xu Xu taught her how to make a wish.

  Lingqiong was holding a piece of wood, without writing or making a wish.

   She walked under the sacred tree. The tree with luxuriant branches could be touched, and many pieces of wood were hung very low.

  Some wood chips have characters written on them, mostly for blessing. But in the wind and the sun, many have become blurred.

  Some have nothing.

   She stood under the sacred tree with the wooden pieces swaying gently, her eyes fell on the wooden pieces full of prayer words, indescribably cold.

   She didn't plan to write anything, nor did she plan to make a wish.

   Just as she was about to leave, a piece of wood beside her was suddenly blown off by the wind.

  The wood chips flew and fell, and the words on them broke into her sight without warning.

  Lingqiong reached out to catch the wood chip.

  The words on the wood chips were blurred, and it was impossible to see what was written.

   But the three words of the signature are particularly clear.

  [Gu Xueli]

The three words   , like a bright light, suddenly fell into her heart.

   That light is like a knife, severing all illusions.

   She knew there was something wrong with this place.

   I knew deep down that this place might not exist.

   It was she who trapped herself here.

  Gu Xueli…

   Did he do something wrong?

No.

   He chose her without hesitation.

   Then why is she trapping herself here?

  …Yeah, why are you trapping yourself here?

   Will Gu Xueli be sad?

  “A Ling…”

   "A Ling?"

  Lingqiong returned to her senses, Xu Xu's face magnified in front of her.

"What are you thinking? I called you for so long and you haven't responded... How did you pull someone's blessing card down?" Xu Xu was surprised, looked left and right, hurriedly snatched it up, hung it back on the tree, and faced the divine tree A burst of apology.

   Finally pulled Lingqiong away.

   I dare not let her get close to the divine tree anymore.

  Lingqiong looked at the wooden sign that was re-hung. It was an unfamiliar name, not Gu Xueli.

   She suddenly thought about Gu Xueli.

  …

  …

   On the way down the mountain, Lingqiong asked Xu Xu, "Where do you want to get out of this place?"

   Mother Xu said before that Brother Yi was going to 'come back', proving that the village can go out.

   And that place should also be her exit from this place.

   "Shanjian. It's the place where we found you." Xu Xu said: "But it's a little dangerous. I heard adults say that many people can't come back after going out...A Ling, do you want to leave?"

   "I didn't think about it."

   "Although I like you very much, your family should be in a hurry, right? If I don't see you for a long time, my mother will look for me everywhere..."

   Lingqiong's heart was calm, listening to Xu Xu's words gradually deviating from the theme, she went down the mountain all the way.

When he was about to get home, Xu Xu suddenly said: "A Ling, if you really want to leave, after Brother Yi and I get married, I will ask Dad to find someone to lead the way. You don't want to run alone, let alone at night. into the mountain stream."

"why?"

   "...I don't know, what the elders said."

"it is good."

  …

  …

   Xu Xu's wedding day was very lively, and the whole village was immersed in joy.

  Lingqiong sits under the sacred tree and can see the lanterned village.

  The wood chips on the **** tree made a crisp sound.

  Lingqiong looked up at the tree, got up and left.

  God's branches swayed, I don't know if it was for the joy of the newcomer tonight, or to see Lingqiong off.

  The location of the mountain stream is known to Lingqiong.

   This is no secret.

  The water in the villages comes from the mountain streams.

   She asked people in the village that if they want to leave the mountain stream, they need to follow the water flowing down the mountain stream and go up.

   But like Xu Xu, reminded her not to enter the mountain stream at night.

  The mountain stream at night will kill people.

   But Lingqiong still chose to enter the mountain stream at night.

   Because she has an intuition.

   If she comes during the day, she cannot go out.

  The mountain stream at night was not easy to walk, so Lingqiong walked slowly and waded up the water.

  The cold water ran over her knees, but she didn't seem to feel at all.

   After walking for some time, the girl suddenly stopped.

   She looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and when she looked back, she could see the light in the village.

   Now that she goes back, she can still make a bridal chamber with the villagers.

   "Call..."

  Lingqiong exhaled and continued to walk deep into the mountain stream.

The mountains on both sides of    are getting higher and higher, and the canopy blocks the moonlight.

   The light in the village was no longer visible behind him.

  In the mountain stream, she was the only one left.

   The water underfoot seemed to be turbulent.

   Her body is a little weaker than ordinary people now. Such an eager water flow has washed Lingqiong down several times and fell into the water.

   The clothes on his body were soaked, and the cold wind blew, and the coldness drilled into the cracks of the bones.

cold…

   Biting cold.
