Tenderness like water

It is the bright moon hanging in the sky, and the moon and stars are rare.

The scenery on the top of Ruowei Mountain has not changed over the years. When Yang Lan opened his eyes again, he was still standing there, but there was no one around.

Why have those disciples who were meditating in the back already left?

Yang Lan moved her stiff body, and felt the hunger from her stomach in the next second, and quickly took out a bigu pill and ate it.

While eating, Yang Lan also felt that something was wrong - her fingers were very stiff, even the spells in her sleeves almost failed.

It was as if he had changed his body, and none of the parts of his body were completely in control.

"Uncle Junior, you're awake!" Just as Yang Lan was immersed in the changes in her body, a clear voice came from behind him, "Uncle Junior, you've been standing here for three years!"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

"Three years?" Yang Lan's hand holding the sleeve of his sleeve was so brave that he almost tore the clothes on his body that had experienced three years of wind and frost.

"Yes, yes, it's been three years!" Three years have passed, Yue'er has grown up a lot, the size that was originally only up to Yang Lan's thighs has grown to his lower abdomen, with two braids on the top of her head, and she walks with her Flickering, very playful and cute.

Yang Lan was a little uncertain about the identity of the girl in front of him. He remembered that Yue'er was brought back by the temple master, and he didn't have any sisters, so he tentatively called out, "Yue'er?"

"It's me!" Yue'er was holding a small bamboo basket in her hand, which was to be sent to Taoist Master Xugu in the quiet room on the mountain. She came to see Yang Lan, but she just dropped by, and unexpectedly bumped into Yang Lan and woke up. , "The master said, little uncle, that you have to have an epiphany here, so that all of us can't bother you, and said that this is a great opportunity!"

This is indeed a chance, but only Yang Lan benefits the most.

After Yue'er finished talking excitedly, Yang Lan reached out and touched her little head, "Just now you said, I have been standing here for three years?"

After three years, he didn't starve to death. No wonder he felt very hungry when he came back to his senses.

"Yeah, it's been three years." Yue'er shook her head and threw Yang Lan's hand off, then jumped a distance away, "I'm going to deliver something to my uncle, little uncle, hurry down the mountain!" Said After finishing speaking, Yue'er turned and left.

Needless to say, Yang Lan naturally knew that he was going down the mountain. He couldn't believe that he had stood on the top of the mountain for three years.

But judging from the feedback from all parts of his body, he did have a very stiff feeling.It's like not exercising for a long time, the body is rigid, and the blood seems to be clotting.

Yang Lan remembered that in her last life, there were many stories like "Cultivation without time" in the storybooks. She couldn't understand it at the beginning, but now she really has this feeling suddenly.

However, before Yang Lan realized it carefully, his steps down the mountain suddenly stopped.

He seems to have forgotten something?

For Yang Lan, these three years are just a moment, and he passed in the blink of an eye, never feeling the length of time at all.However, time still had a certain impact on his body. The mind of a person who just woke up from an epiphany was as rigid as his body.

After going down the mountain, the temple master saw Yang Lan, asked him a few words before telling him to rest, and took out a letter, saying it was from the Yang family in Yuecheng at the foot of the mountain.Even Daoist Xugu on the mountain, knowing that Yang Lan had woken up, went down the mountain to take a look around.

Daoist Xu Gu failed in his forced breakthrough before, but he has almost recovered after three years of cultivation, and he is still in the quiet room on the top of the mountain, because he wants to refine a new kind of elixir, and he is afraid of being disturbed, so he went up to the quiet room again. room.

Yang Lan woke up after a nap, and finally woke up. Before he could read the letter, he suddenly remembered something he had forgotten.

Dongfang Xu is still waiting for him to go back to celebrate the New Year in that small mountain village!

It's been three years, I don't know if that person will still be waiting in some small mountain village?

Although reason told Yang Lan that it was impossible for Dongfang Xu to still be waiting for him at Qi Feng's house after three years, he still couldn't hold back the moment he thought of this and packed up his things and went down the mountain. The unopened letter from home.

——Dan Wu didn't write a letter to his family for three years, and the family members should also be worried.

Bringing good things, Yang Lan didn't delay for a second, and went straight down the mountain towards Qijia Village.

However, even though he was burning with anxiety, his speed couldn't be any faster - he had already reached the limit that he could achieve, but it still took half a day to get there in the end.

It's the beginning of winter again, the snow is clear and the sky is clear, and the people in Qijia Village are still living the same life as before.

As soon as Yang Lan arrived at the entrance of the village, someone from Qijia Village looked at him with strange eyes, but he didn't care, and went straight to Qifeng's old house, but the old house was locked, and weeds grew in front of the door, not at all. It looks like a living person.Yang Lan had no choice but to knock on Qi Fengjia's door, but after knocking for a long time, no one came to open the door.

"Xiao Housheng, are you here to find Qi Feng?" An old man saw Yang Lan hovering in front of Qi Feng's gate, and saw that he didn't look like a bad person, so he came over and asked him, "Qi Feng is not at home today, you have something to do tomorrow Come again."

It's also unfortunate that Qi Feng took his daughter-in-law back to her natal home yesterday, and she won't be able to return until tomorrow.

Yang Lan didn't expect that he came at such an untimely time, but seeing that the courtyard door was locked by a big lock, he just arrived. I'm afraid this family is not at home, "Thank you, old man, I am a passerby who rented their house a few years ago, now I remembered that I forgot to take something away, so I came here to see if it was still there."

The old man looked at Yang Lan for a long time, and finally slapped his thigh, "So it's you." Coincidentally, this old man was the one who introduced Yang Lan to stay overnight in Qifengjia.

At this time, Yang Lan also recognized the old man. After all, what others saw as three years ago was still yesterday in his eyes. "Old man, Brother Qi and his family won't come back today?"

"Yeah, every time they go to Xiu'er's natal family, they have to stay for two days before returning." The old man waved his hand. He has a close relationship with Qi Feng's family. Last year, Qi Feng's parents went, and his son helped One by one, Qi Feng's family is getting better and better this year.

However, just as the old man said that Qi Feng would not come back, the two walked over from the entrance of the village far away.When someone walks up to him and takes a look, isn't this Qi Feng and who is his wife?

"Hey, Brother Yang, why are you here?" Qi Feng originally walked slowly, but when he saw Yang Lan, he immediately quickened his pace, "I thought you wouldn't come back."

"I was delayed by something outside, and I just got free, so I rushed back." Yang Lan followed Qi Feng, waited for them to enter the house and put away their things, and then entered the yard, "The incident happened Suddenly, that’s the only thing I can do first.”

Qi Feng nodded, then took another key from home, and took Yang Lan to the old house before it was dark.

"You didn't come back at the beginning, and the Dongfang brothers never saw each other after the New Year's Eve. The things you bought... I used some of the perishable ones. Last year, something happened to my family. I thought you If you don’t want to come back, I’ll buy it, if you still want it, I can make up for you..." After speaking, Qi Feng was also a little embarrassed, raised his hand and scratched his head, his dark face seemed to be flushed.

"It doesn't matter, those are for Chinese New Year, it's a good thing if you can use them." Yang Lan didn't remember what he bought for a long time, it should be some insignificant things.

While the two were talking, the door of the old house was opened by Qi Feng, and the inside was quite clean, and it could be seen that someone came to clean it up every once in a while.

Just like what Qi Feng said, most of the things Yang Lan bought at the beginning have disappeared, and some things that are not very valuable but can be put away are still there.

However, the most conspicuous of these things is the handkerchief-shaped piece of cloth placed on the top.

"I found this when I came to clean up the room, because I didn't know what it was, and I didn't throw it away." Qi Feng watched Yang Lan pick up the handkerchief, explained, then pointed to something in the corner and said: "This is the handkerchief I was in at the time." It was found in this room, and I don’t know if you need it.”

The material of the handkerchief was also good, and Yang Lan recognized at a glance that she bought it from the cloth shop - the shopkeeper of the cloth shop at that time boasted all kinds of things, which was rare in this small town.

"Did he say anything?" Yang Lan put the handkerchief in her arms, didn't care much about the rest, turned around and asked Qi Feng, "For example, where did he go?"

"Not at all." Qi Feng had a profound impact on Dongfang Xu's departure, "He disappeared suddenly on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, and never came back afterwards."

Yang Lan stayed in the old house for a while, while Qi Feng went home to pack his things.Today he accompanied his daughter-in-law back to her natal home, but the result was not very gratifying. The younger brother of her natal family wanted to talk about marriage, but asked them to take out ten taels of silver.

Buying medicine for my parents last year cost me my whole family, so where can I get the money.

After Qi Feng left, Yang Lan sat in the room for a while. Originally, he wanted to take out his handkerchief to have a look, but came across a letter. He remembered that it was a family letter given to him by the temple master when he just woke up. So I took it apart and looked at it slowly.

The content of the family letter is not much different from the past, and it expresses the thoughts of the family.

Yang Lan thought that she hadn't been home for many years, so she decided to go home and have a look.
