burn snow

Jiang Baizhou didn't tell Long Ying, but in fact, he had already arranged everything in Endless Sea.

At that time, with the power of the earth veins, Jiang Baizhou seemed to be a water bottle covered with cracks. The "water" in his body kept surging, tearing him apart, while he borrowed the power of "water" to protect himself.The offensive and defensive momentum is barely maintaining a balance on the verge of collapse, and Jiang Baizhou may shatter at any time.

That year, he thought that he was going to die, so he had to deal with the funeral.

What he did was similar to what Longying had done in Buried Star City in the past year. From top to bottom, he planned a future for the Thirteen Islands in the Endless Sea.

At that time, when he was saying goodbye, someone shed tears in front of him, but he didn't cry.

Jiang Baizhou couldn't remember whether he had cried in his life, it seemed like he never had.He thinks that everything is natural and should be taken for granted, including sadness and regret.

In fact, the Elder's House can see it openly. They know that the laws of heaven and earth do not depend on people's will.A person has come to this point, no matter what happens in the next moment of life or death, it is God's will.

People are like this, and the endless sea also has its own destiny.

Openness may not lead to eternal life, but the end of closure must be a dead end.Jiang Baizhou wants to open the sea gate, build a trade route, learn overseas skills, and welcome the next millennium with a mutual tolerance.

Long Ying came from a long distance this time, aboard a giant ship, and brought everything that Jiang Baizhou had promised to the elders' house.

When you leave, you will take the same thing with you - civilization and trust.

The ocean is vast and the earth is boundless.Born from the same root and receiving the blessings of water and soil under the same sun, we should not regard each other as enemies.

But the world is complicated, and tomorrow's twists and turns will never end. Jiang Baizhou has done everything he should do, and he doesn't want to be tied to it forever.This time, I came back to say goodbye.

He brought Long Ying into the elders' house, and as soon as he showed up, everyone was shocked.

In his "funeral arrangements" back then, he himself was a person who would never return.So he left the map of the endless sea to Ji Yunchan, and asked the latter to give it to Long Ying, who would do it all for him.

Today Longying came as promised, and Jiang Baizhou is also fine.

The Great Elder, with gray beard and hair, was bending over, drying a book in the yard, when he looked up and saw his figure, he burst into tears on the spot.

His face was full of traces of time, and Jiang Baizhou felt the sadness that every wanderer would feel when he returned to his hometown: the grass is green again, and people are getting old again, year after year.

Apart from tears, there are not many sensational words.

The Great Elder summoned all the people in charge and received them solemnly.

Talking during the dinner, Long Ying was not as nervous as he showed when facing Jiang Bairi alone, he could hold on to the situation.On the contrary, Jiang Baizhou was absent-minded and rarely interjected. When he finally saw that they had reached an agreement, he said unexpectedly, "I will not stay in the Endless Sea for a long time in the future."

The one who was most surprised was Long Ying: "Where are you going?"

He never asked Jiang Baizhou if he wanted to stay in Buixing Town, because he knew that the answer must be no.But Jiang Baizhou actually said that he would not stay in the Endless Sea in the future, did he change his mind?Or do you have other plans?

"I want to go out for a walk." Jiang Baizhou said, "Go and take a good look at places I haven't seen before."

People in a corner of the country think that the soil they are stepping on is the earth, and the sun above their heads is the sky. They don't know that the sky is big and the earth is big. If you measure it with your feet, you don't know how many years it will take you to reach the frontier.

In the past, Jiang Baizhou didn't want to go anywhere, he just wanted to die of old age and endless sea.

What changed him?

Maybe it's because I really saw the vastness of the world.

He doesn't want to get involved in the disputes in the world, he just wants to turn into a floating duckweed, go with the wind and wander to the end of the world.

He has made up his mind, and no one else can stop him.

The matter has come to this point, the Elder's Court understands, and Long Ying also understands that he has done his best for everyone, and of course he has the right to let go of everything after the matter is completed.

There will be a big banquet in the afternoon, which is in accordance with the etiquette, and it will clean up the dust for Longying.

Before entering the door, Long Ying simply thought too much, the Elder's House didn't dislike his manly body at all, they didn't care about his relationship with Jiang Baizhou at all, they thought it was a private matter, and outsiders didn't need to talk about it.

After all, Jiang Baizhou did not hold the conferring ceremony. Since he is not the high priest, his private affairs are just private affairs.

Endless Sea is different from Buried Star City. There is no "father's surname orthodoxy" and "family inheritance" that have prevailed for thousands of years. Since surname and blood relationship do not matter, whether his partner can have children is not so important.

He even said that he wanted to be with a man, or marry a fish—although it was deviant, it would not affect the inheritance of the unwarranted surname, so it didn't matter.

Long Ying was quite emotional, and also heaved a sigh of relief.

After the banquet, Jiang Baizhou avoided the crowd and took him to the beach.

Just as the sun was setting, the sea surface was shining with golden light, and seabirds flew past in groups, and their chirping sound was dragged out in the wind, like a distant tune.

"More than 20 years ago, my father was sitting here, waiting for the sunset." Jiang Baizhou lightly brushed the dust on the reef, and sat down, "And I was watching him from the side, not understanding why he was sad."

"Do you understand now?" Long Ying blurted out.

Jiang Baizhou smiled slightly: "That's right."

"The Great Elder told me just now that my mother had a wish when she was a child, and that was to travel around the world. It's a pity that too many accidents happened later, and she doesn't seem to remember it herself."

"Maybe she has no time to remember."

"Maybe, she saw the natural disaster after she went to sea, and she knew it was an unfulfilled wish."

It was difficult for Jiang Baizhou to describe his feelings for Jiang Zhu. Every time he thought of her, an expressionless face appeared in his mind. Jiang Zhu kept silent and wrote with him silently.

"Peng's migration in Nanmingye, the water hits three thousand miles, and the one who swings upwards is ninety thousand miles."

"All people have no self, gods and men have no merit, and saints have no name."

"Do you understand this?"

"You should be smarter than me."

Maybe Jiang Baizhou is not as smart as her, but just luckier than her.

"Longying." Jiang Baizhou suddenly turned his head, "I'm going to Tianya, would you like to accompany me?"

"..."

His bright eyes reflected the sky and water, Long Ying almost drowned in it, how could he say no?

"But I have too many things to deal with, it may be..."

"I'll wait for you." Jiang Baizhou interrupted him, his eyes were calm but firm, just like Longying's former appearance, "I'll always wait for you."

The sea is surging and the wind and clouds are endless.

Years passed by, and Long Ying's countless waiting in the first half of her life found a place in Jiang Baizhou's words, and she landed safely.

He lives by looking up to him, and dies by his side.

Instead of being a tired guest in the world, it is better to be a couple at the end of the world, wandering north and south, west and east.

Waiting to see the mountains and rivers of the four seasons, enjoy the wind, flowers, snow and moon, and die as a pair of dependent wandering souls, this life is not in vain.
