Since he wanted Xuanqing to guide him, Lian Yi must tell Xuanqing what is troubled in his heart.

Under the guidance of Xuanqing's gentle and reassuring voice, Lianyi roughly told the things about Ruan Lianyi and Ruan Linyi back then, and then she skipped the emotional part, and described what she had been with Shu Qingwan during this period. Let me briefly describe what I did, and I hope Xuan Qing can clear up some of her doubts.

Speaking of later, Lian Yi was a little depressed, so she had no choice but to tell Xuan Qing all her suspicions about Shu Qingwan, as well as her guesses about the incident between Shu Qingwan and Ruan Lin.

Although she always wanted to keep herself calm and didn't want to mix emotions into the narrative, but at the end of the matter, her mood inevitably became depressed.

But I don't know if it's because of the Zen fragrance, after Lian Yi told so many things that were stuffy in his heart, he felt a lot easier.

And Xuan Qing's expression remained calm after hearing so much from her, as if these things had already been expected in his heart, and they were not enough to arouse any emotion in him.

After a long time, when Lian Yi's mood calmed down a bit, Xuan Qing finally spoke.

But Xuanqing didn't explain these things to her, he just said: "You have said so much, may I also listen to what Master said about the past."

Lian Yi was a little puzzled by Xuan Qing's abrupt topic, she raised her head: "What happened in the past?"

"The matter about Qingwan after you left." Xuanqing replied flatly, "Perhaps, there will be an answer you want."

Shu Qingwan's past is undoubtedly the key information to solve these mysteries. Perhaps knowing the past, one can understand what role Shu Qingwan played in these matters.

Lian Yi nodded, and heard Xuan Qing's unhurried voice, just like Sanskrit, spreading everything in the past in front of her.

That year, Shu Qingwan waited for a full fifteen days in the grove outside the manor, but did not find the person she was waiting for.

Finally one day, she boiled the raging and crazy snow to a stop, and looked at the sky that had already closed, and she finally realized that so much time had passed.

The coldest time is when the snow melts, but Shu Qingwan once again stepped on the snow that was about to melt, walked for several hours with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and then climbed up thousands of winding steps with no end in sight. , I walked to the bamboo garden deep in the bamboo forest without stopping.

Dragging her soaked skirt and shoes and socks, she knelt in front of Xuan Qing, saying that she couldn't find Ruan Lianyi.

Although Xuan Qing had already figured out that Ruan Lianyi should encounter a bumpy life, but he didn't know what it was, so he could only comfort Shu Qingwan, telling her not to worry too much, only saying that Ruan Lianyi might have something at home and couldn't come out.

Seeing Shu Qingwan's distraught look, Xuanqing had no choice but to explain that Ruan Lianyi had not told her family about Ruan Lianyi's learning of martial arts, and Ruan Lianyi also had an elder brother who was very strict with her, so it would be reasonable if she couldn't get away for a while. things in.

With Xuanqing's reasons, Shu Qingwan was also comforted for a while, believing with a slim hope that Ruan Lianyi must indeed be unable to get away because of something at home.

But after Shu Qingwan waited in the bamboo garden all night, looking at the bamboo forest where the sky gradually brightened and Ruan Lianyi was still absent, she was so flustered that she didn't dare to wait any longer.

She knelt in front of Xuanqing, begging Xuanqing to help find Ruan Lianyi's whereabouts.

Everyone's fate has its own destiny, Xuanqing naturally does not want to interfere too much, not to mention that their Buddhist practitioners have already penetrated life and death, and only believe that everything is determined by fate, but Xuanqing was overwhelmed by Shu Qingwan's voice Begging to be touched, couldn't bear to see Shu Qingwan mourning so much, so he had to send a little monk to the city to inquire about the situation.

When Shu Qingwan thanked Xuanqing and returned to the manor, seeing Nanny Zhang who had stayed up all night in a hurry to find her, her heart relaxed and she fainted from exhaustion.

After Shu Qingwan woke up, he was still the same as before, going to the Bamboo Garden in the back mountain of Dongyun Temple to report every day.

The difference is that now she is walking on foot, waiting every day while walking, only hoping that at a certain moment when she turns around, she can see the end of the road, and there will be a small figure running towards her on a horse.

But day after day, all fantasies are still like a cloud of bubbles.

And Shu Qingwan came to the bamboo garden every day, no longer touching the book or holding the sword, just standing outside the bamboo garden, waiting for the little monk who came back to report and Ruan Lianyi who had no hope of returning.

Half a month later, the little monk who went to inquire about the situation finally came back.

Although he didn't inquire about any special news, he heard that the young lady of the Ruan family in the urban area had a serious illness and was dying.

At this point, Xuanqing had no choice but to tell Shu Qingwan about Ruan Lianyi's true identity.

But whether Ruan Lianyi is in good health or if there is any problem, how could Shu Qingwan, who has been with Ruan Lianyi day and night, not know?

She couldn't believe that the person who had stayed with her well some time ago would get seriously ill out of nowhere, and he was dying soon.

After Shu Qingwan went back that night, as Xuanqing expected, he didn't come back the next day.

Shu Qingwan, who didn't go to report, brought dry food before dawn on the second day, and told Nanny Zhang that she was going out for two days. Even though Nanny Zhang locked her in the room and refused to let her leave, she still escaped. After being discharged from the hospital, he walked to the city alone.

Shu Qingwan went from the dawn of the sky to the afternoon, and she didn't walk to the bustling city until the sun slanted slightly to the west.

She inquired all the way, dragging her exhausted legs and finally found the main entrance of Ruan Mansion.

The moment she saw the gate of the Ruan Mansion, the exhaustion of the whole day seemed to have dissipated. She staggered towards the closed gate, using her palm as the knocker, and slapped it hastily, although the knocking of the palm revealed It was hot and painful, but she didn't stop.

Finally, someone opened the door from the inside. It was an old servant in his sixties who opened the door. He looked at Shu Qingwan and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Shu Qingwan stuttered in embarrassment: "I'm looking for Ruan Lianyi."

Uncle Fu frowned, and confirmed, "Who did you say you were looking for?"

"Ruan Lianyi." Shu Qingwan said anxiously, gesturing in front of her with her hands, "I'm looking for Ruan Lianyi, she's about, about this tall, she smiles, her eyes are round, she likes men's clothes .”

Uncle Fu looked Shu Qingwan up and down again, seeing that her shoes, socks and skirt were dirty, and her face was gray, he guessed that she should be a wild girl that her young lady knew somewhere in the mountains.

But at this time, how could his young lady have time to receive such a person.

Uncle Fu frowned deeply, and denied, "Little girl, you must have found the wrong place. There should be no one you know here."

"That's right." Shu Qingwan held the door with her hand to prevent Uncle Fu from closing the door, "She is called Lian Yi, she said her surname is Ruan, and she has an older brother. Their family is in business."

When Uncle Fu heard the person in front of him mention Ruan Linyi, he raised a layer of guard in his heart, and said in a cold voice: "You must have found the wrong place. We don't have the person you mentioned here, let alone any brothers and sisters."

As Uncle Fu said, he stretched out his hand cruelly to push Shu Qingwan's hand away, pushed Shu Qingwan out, and then directly closed the door.

Shu Qingwan fell to the ground at the door, but she didn't give up.

She gathered strength for a while, got up again, lay down on the door and continued to knock, until her palms were worn out, she refused to give up.

Finally, the door opened again, and the person who came was still the old man Uncle Fu.

Uncle Fu was a little impatient, but seeing Shu Qingwan's handsome appearance, he had no choice but to be patient and said: "Little girl, you go back, the person you are looking for is really not with us."

"She is here. I heard from others that you are the only Ruan family in the urban area. She must be here." Shu Qingwan said stubbornly, "I just need to see her."

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Uncle Fu sighed, had no choice but to push Shu Qingwan away, and closed the door again.

Shu Qingwan's palms were already swollen, and the scratched areas were slightly bloodshot, but she still did not give up, instead she clenched her fists and continued to knock. After a while, the door finally opened again.

But this time, two young strong men came out from inside, held her up without any explanation, and threw her directly under the steps outside the gate.

Shu Qingwan still wanted to climb up and knock on the door, but the two young men kept guarding the door, not letting her go forward, and she was already exhausted, so she had to find a corner to rest first, and soon fell asleep from exhaustion.

She was woken up by the gangsters around her. She opened her eyes and saw that the surrounding sky was almost dark, and the stalls in the daytime had all finished work and went home. At this time, a strange man was holding her arm, trying to carry her away. .

She was tired and hungry, but she still gathered her strength to resist. The man was no match for her struggle, and slapped her hard.

That slap broke the corner of Shu Qingwan's mouth, and the sound was so loud that it attracted the attention of the two servants at the gate of Ruan's house. In the end, the two servants saw her really pitiful, and helped her scare away the strange man.

But she wanted to beg those two people to let her in to meet Ruan Lianyi, but those two people stopped her and refused to let her approach the gate.

It was getting dark gradually, Shu Qingwan originally wanted to take advantage of the night to climb over the wall and enter the Ruan Mansion, but she really didn't have the strength to climb up the courtyard wall, so she had to go back to the gate of the Ruan Mansion, curled up in a corner and continued to wait.

She waited in that corner all night, and early the next morning, the door of Ruan Mansion finally opened again, and an old gentleman came out from inside. He carried a medicine box on his back, and he looked like a doctor practicing medicine.

Shu Qingwan was worried for a while, and also worried that something really happened to Ruan Lianyi.

When she saw Uncle Fu, who came out to see the old man, bring the old man to the door, she wanted to turn around and go back, she rushed up the steps, grabbed Uncle Fu and begged, "Let me see her, please, let me see her! "

"Why haven't you left yet? I told you that you went to the wrong place." Uncle Fu said helplessly, "I really don't have the person you're looking for here. You should look elsewhere."

Shu Qingwan pulled Uncle Fu's sleeve, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed to Uncle Fu: "Please, let me see her!"

Uncle Fu wanted to pull back his sleeve, but Shu Qingwan held it tightly, and kowtowed to him again: "Please, let me see her!"

Uncle Fu looked at Shu Qingwan's beautiful forehead that was about to ooze blood, and felt quite uncomfortable. He pulled back his sleeves suddenly and walked a few steps in, but he heard Shu Qingwan's kowtow continued. .

Uncle Fu had no choice but to turn around and persuade: "Little girl, go back, you... You came at a bad time."

Shu Qingwan took two steps forward with her knees as her feet: "What's wrong with her? Please, let me see her!"

"Go back, I won't see you again." Uncle Fu took two steps forward and heard Shu Qingwan's kowtow again, so he took out some broken silver from his body and threw it in front of Shu Qingwan, "Go back, Don't come again."

Then Uncle Fu didn't care whether Shu Qingwan kowtowed or not, and closed the door.
