snow god

On the second day, the four of them got up, had breakfast, and went out to find out where Zixin's home was, and searched all the way.Walking to the door, Zi Yunqi knocked on the door, and an old man in his sixties came out and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zi Yunqi said politely: "Old man, we are looking for Zi Xin, is she at home?"

The old man looked at the three Nangong Xun who were standing at the door, with a look of wariness on his face, he said, "Who are you? What can you do with Xiner?"

Ziyunqi hurriedly explained: "Old man, they are my friends, and I am Ziyunqi, the teacher of the clan."

"Are you Ziyunqi?" The old man stared at Ziyunqi for a long time, it was really Ziyunqi, after seeing it clearly, his tone became more polite, and he turned sideways and said: "Everyone, come in and sit down."

Several people thanked and followed the old man in, Zi Yunqi asked: "Old man, is Zi Xin at home?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Not here."

Ziyun was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Where did she go?"

The old man looked at Ziyunqi without knowing why, why was he so surprised?Is there something urgent?Without giving up, he said, "Xin'er is helping at Zi's hometown."

The four of them stopped in their tracks, looked at the old man in surprise, and asked, "You said that Zixin is helping Zixin at Zi's hometown?"

Seeing the reaction of the four people, the old man was even more puzzled, and asked, "Did something happen to Xiner?"

Elder Zi said that Zi Xin had returned home, and the old man said that Confidence was still at Zi’s hometown. Where did this person go?Thinking of the blood under the snow mulberry tree, the four suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.Nangong Xun looked around, the house was very simple, but it was clean.Casually asked: "Old man, Zixin usually comes back every few days?"

Speaking of this, he became a little angry and said: "Xiaoshan has had conflicts with Xiner recently, and Xiner hasn't been back for half a year."

"Haven't you seen her?"

The old man shook his head. His wife didn't know what to think. He said that young people should let them solve it by themselves. He didn't come back for half a year and didn't visit her.

Nangong Xun frowned, as a parent, he was not worried at all, and asked, "Then do you know Zixin's recent situation?"

The old man said: "I know, Xiao Shan will talk about Xiner every time he comes back." After thinking for a while, he said, "Xiao Shan is filial and will come back every ten days."

every ten days?Nangong looked for a secret way, and it seemed that all the answers to the mystery lay with Zishan.

Nangong Xun gestured to Ziyunqi, Ziyunqi understood what Nangongxun meant, and then said to the old man: "Old man, we still have something to do, so we will leave today."

The old man looked at Ziyun Qi, is he leaving now?Asked: "Did something happen to Xin Er?"

Zi Yunqi was worried that he would not be able to smile, so he said ambiguously: "We just want to ask her something."

The old man was still worried, looked at the worried faces of several people, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Seeing Ziyunqi's worried expression, Nangong Xun followed Ziyunqi's words and said: "I just want to ask about the snow silkworm."

The old man nodded, relieved a lot, Xiner is indeed working in the mulberry garden, and he also knows that there are still many people in the current clan who are investigating this matter.Looking at the four people, he said, "If you see Xiner in the mulberry garden, please let her go home."

Several people nodded slightly, took their leave from the old man's house and went to the mulberry garden.

When several people walked to the gate of the mulberry garden, Zishan was sitting in the room looking at the mulberry garden in a daze.Zi Yunqi approached and knocked on the door, Zi Shan seemed to be frightened, his body trembled slightly, and he came back to his senses in an instant, seeing that it was Zi Yunqi, he quickly stood up and said: "Mr. , you can come and go as you please."

Ziyun Qi said: "We are here to find you"

Taking advantage of the gap between Ziyunqi and Zishan's conversation, Nangong Xun also stepped forward to look at Zishan's small house.The house is simple, with a small bed against the wall, a small cabinet beside the bed, a window facing the mulberry garden, a table and a chair in front of the window.There was nothing else on the table, only some colorful mulberry leaves, a few of which looked like they were freshly picked, with dew on them, and more of them were withered, and their colors were all faded.Nangong Xun took a closer look and found that there were only three colors, blue, blue and purple. Among them, purple was the most. Nangong Xun asked softly, "Purple Mountain, do you like mulberry leaves?"

Zi Shan was taken aback for a moment, and he caught a glimpse of the leaves on the table from the corner of his eye, and then he understood, and nodded embarrassingly.

The door of the room is small, and Axue has been standing behind Nangongxun. Somewhat curious, she stood on tiptoe and looked into the room from above Nangongxun's shoulder. She saw the mulberry leaves that Nangongxun said at a glance, "Huh? Why are there only three kinds of leaves?" ?” Not long after, his feet became sore, and his feet fell down, and his chin hit Nangong Xun's shoulder, gasping for breath in pain.

Nangong Xun felt a pain in his shoulder and turned around subconsciously, seeing that A Xue was covering his chin with an aggrieved expression, distressed and funny, he pulled A Xue's hand covering his chin, and said, "Come on, let me see how it is? "

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Ah Xue was very embarrassed, she quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

Sapphire rolled her eyes, and looked at the sky speechlessly, what on earth did she come here for?But blindfolded, looking at the sky was gray, very boring, suddenly felt something was wrong, when she turned her head, she saw Zi Yunqi staring at her with a smile, and Lan Yu's face turned red.

At this time, several people from the Zi clan walked to the gate of the mulberry garden and were about to enter, but the gate was blocked, so Zishan could only shout: "Wait!"

The four of them followed Zishan's line of sight. Nangong Xun saw that the person was familiar. After thinking about it carefully, wasn't that the person who stood with Ziyunqi to run for patriarch a few days ago?They also came for the matter of Xuesang?Seeing that Zishan glanced at the door and knew that he was blocked, he immediately pulled A Xue back outside the door.

Zi Shan went out of the house, walked up to those people, and said politely: "Several, Mr. Zi ordered that you are not allowed to enter the mulberry garden."

Those few people looked at Zi Yunqi in the hut, their expressions suddenly sank, one of them pointed at Zi Yunqi, and said: "He can't enter either?"

Zi Shan stared at the ground without looking at the few people, and said: "It depends on Zi Lao's intentions."

"you.."

The person next to him pulled him, and said: "Forget it, don't embarrass Zishan, let's go to Zilao first, it's important to enter the garden."

The man glared at Zi Shan bitterly, and they turned around and left together.Zi Shan looked at their backs and heaved a sigh of relief.

Ziyunqi came out from the house, looked at Nangong Xun and then at Sangyuan.

Nangong Xunchao Ziyunqi shook his head slightly.

Seeing that the two were communicating silently, Ah Xue pulled Nangong Xun's sleeve, saw Nangong Xun's gaze looking over, and asked silently: "What are you talking about?"

Ziyun understood, and said to Zishan who was standing aside: "Zishan, you should be familiar with Mulberry Garden, right?"

Nangong Xun looked at the curious Axue, smiled slightly, and hooked his fingers at him.

Ashe hurriedly approached, Nangongxun approached Ashe's ear, and asked softly: "Want to know?"

Ashe nodded vigorously, but only heard Nangong Xun whispering: "I'll tell you tonight."

From the corner of his eye, Ziyun caught a glimpse of Axue's ears turning slightly red, and admired Nangong Xun in his heart, then glanced at Lan Yu who was standing beside her.

Sapphire was a little confused, so she asked, "What's wrong?"

Looking at the mulberry garden, Zishan said with some emotion: "I have been here since I was ten years old, and it has been 13 years now."

"It's okay." Ziyun smiled, looked away, and looked at Zishan, "You always guard the mulberry garden?"

"That's not true. I used to pick mulberries in the garden, and I lived in this house when I was 17 years old." Zi Shan glanced at the small house behind him, with a little pride in his eyes. Mulberry garden.

"I heard that your sister is also picking mulberries in the garden." Zi Yunqi looked in from the gate of the mulberry garden. The colorful mulberry leaves were very lush, and the mulberry pickers coming and going under the tree couldn't be idle for a moment.

Zi Shan's complexion sank suddenly, but he returned to normal in an instant, smiled and said: "My sister has gone home, and she is no longer picking mulberries in the garden."

"Really?" Nangong Xun hooked his lips, and said with a light smile, "That's really a coincidence, today your family asked me to ask your sister to go home earlier."

"Family?" Zi Shan changed color suddenly, "Have you been to my house?"

A familiar voice from "Xiao Shan" sounded, Nan Gongxun looked back, Zi Lao brought two old people to the mulberry garden, one of them was Zi Shan's father, and the other should be Zi Shan's family members.

"Father, father, why are you here?" Zi Shan was even more surprised when he saw the two of them.

"If you don't come, how do you know that Xiner has been missing for half a year? Where did you say Xiner went?" The old man walked up to Zishan angrily and asked loudly.

"Father..." Zi Shan looked at the person in front of him, and was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Where is Xin'er?" The old man stared at Zishan with fiery eyes. After Ziyunqi left today, the more he thought about it, the more he thought something was wrong. With the relationship between Ziyunqi and Zilao, it was easy to find someone in the mulberry garden. He came home to ask, then That is to say, he couldn't find anyone in the mulberry garden, but Xiao Shan clearly said that Xiner was in the mulberry garden, so how could he not find anyone?Immediately, his wife hurriedly looked for Mr. Zi, and when he heard Mr. Zi said that Xiner had been home for half a year, he was even more impatient. Now seeing Zishan faltering, his heart was as heavy as a mountain, and his eyes were red, "Did something happen to Xiner?" gone?"

Zi Shan retreated slightly, not daring to look into his father's eyes, hesitantly said: "She..."

Zi Ming thought deeply of that considerate and kind woman, looked at Zi Shan seriously, and said, "Zi Shan, what's going on?"

Zishan knew that he couldn't get away with it anymore today, so he stared at Ziming deeply and said, "I have to ask Zi Lao about this matter."

Everyone at the scene was taken aback, and turned their heads to stare at Zi Lao, and the old man asked directly: "Zi Lao, what did you do to Xin'er?"

Zi Ming was taken aback for a moment, what does this have to do with him?Frowning, he said: "Zi Xin didn't come, I only found out, Zi Shan, what do you mean by asking me?"

Zishan said: "Xin'er told me that you were going to marry her, and you were afraid of your parents' opposition, so you asked me to cover for her. I haven't seen her for half a year."

"Nonsense, although I said I wanted to marry her, but she didn't agree, let alone ask you to cover up."

"What? You said Xin'er didn't agree to marry you?" Zi Shan strode up to Zi Mingshen, his face full of shock.

Zi Ming looked at Zi Shan in puzzlement, why were he so excited?Wei Wei nodded and said, "Well, she didn't agree."

"Then why did she say that you promised to give her snow silkworm as a bride price?"

"Bowage gift? Snow silkworms?" Zi Ming thought for a long time before saying, "I said that when she got married, I would use snow silkworms as a gift to fulfill her wish."

"Not a betrothal gift?" Zi Shan stared at Zi Mingshen closely.

Why are you so obsessed with dowry?Zi Ming was deeply puzzled, "She said she has someone she likes, and she only wants to be with him in this life. Although I like her, I will never do things that are difficult for others."

"Then why did she agree to go to the silkworm house?"

Thinking of this, Zi Ming sighed deeply in his heart, but looking at Zi Shan, why does he look like a criminal being interrogated?Seeing that everyone was looking at me, I had no choice but to say, "Because I promised to give her the snow silkworms. She said that I am a good person and would like to help the silkworm house. At that time, the silkworm house was short of staff, so I agreed."

"No. No." Zishan took two steps back as if losing his strength, and after a while, he looked up at Zi Mingshen again, and laughed, "You must have lied to me, you must have lied to me, she clearly said that you want to marry She, it's impossible, it's impossible", and then ran into the mulberry garden like crazy.

Everyone reacted and chased Zishan into the mulberry garden. When they arrived, they saw Zishan kneeling under a purple mulberry tree, pawing the ground vigorously, and shouting: "Xiner, Xiner... Xiner... .”

Seeing Zishan's appearance, the two old men did not want to admit what they were thinking, walked slowly to Zishan, forced a smile and asked: "Xiaoshan, what are you doing? Where is Xiner, let's go find her and go home."

Zishan raised his head, his face was full of tears, he cried and laughed and said: "Father, Xiner is here, I will find her right now, I will take her home"

The old man twitched his lips, "Xiaoshan, stop joking with dad, Xiner...Xiner has always been playful since she was a child, she must have gone to someone's house again and forgot the time."

The ground has been dug out a big hole, the old man looked at the purple water flowing underground, he couldn't stand still for a moment, he couldn't lie to himself anymore, and cried loudly: "Xin'er..."

Another old man hurriedly supported him, and asked angrily, "Zi Shan, what's going on?"

The endless snow was gone, Zishan stroked the flowing water underground, and said softly: "Shh, father, please keep your voice down, it's disturbing Xiner."

The old man kicked Zishan aside and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, where is Zixin?"

Zishan sat down under a purple mulberry, looked up at the elder, looked at the purple mulberry in front of him, and said: "She is here", touching the trunk of the purple mulberry, "It is here"

Zi Shan's expression was terrifying, and Ashe looked a little scared, so she held Nangong Xun's hand tightly. Seeing that Ah Xue's complexion was not good, Nangong stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Ah Xue's shoulders, and asked softly, "How about?" Shall we go back first?"

Axue shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Nangong Xun said: "Don't be brave"

Axue looked up at Nangong Xun, smiled, and said, "Brother Xun, I'm really fine."

The old man wanted to move his feet, but was held back by the person in his arms, so he asked angrily, "What's going on? Can you explain it to me clearly?"

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Axue: "Ayu, why can't you see clearly when you look at the sky, but you can see clearly when you look at people?"

Nangong Xun: "Axue, you don't understand this. The sky is outside your heart, but people are in your heart, so you can see clearly."

Ziyun smiled and said: "Ayu"

Lan Yu blushed even more, and said: "What is out of my heart, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Ashue: "Then where am I?"

Nangong Xun pulled A Xue, "In my eyes, in my heart, in my hands"
