The style is different [Comprehensive]

Huang Yaoshi finally left.

Xie Linyun was able to stop him, but after stopping him, no matter how much he asked, he couldn't get a result.

She was so angry that she spoke indiscriminately, and almost wanted to fight him, but he still said at the beginning, asking her to remember the promise made in the past and fulfill the contract as soon as possible.

At last she remembered that this was the man.

No one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do, and no one can force him to answer questions he doesn't want to answer.

She clearly knew this from the beginning, but she still forgot about it during the year-long relationship, so that now she couldn't accept it at all, and she collapsed to the point where she couldn't maintain a little dignity.

This is so boring, Xie Linyun thought, since he insisted on leaving and breaking up the relationship, it would be too ugly for her to be so stubborn and refuse to let him go.

"Okay, let's go." She wiped her face with her free hand and let the road go.

Huang Yaoshi didn't move immediately, he looked up at the moon that was already slanting to the west, and paused for a long time after seeing it, before saying slowly: "Uncle Zhu——"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Linyun interrupted him with a choked voice: "You said that you want me to pretend that I have never known you from now on, so please pretend that I have never known me."

"I won't bother you about my Dongting Lake."

Hearing this, Huang Yaoshi took a deep look at her, and said nothing else, just bypassed her and left.

When he came, he only had a small baggage, and when he left, he didn't bring anything. He got on the boat to and from the lake with nothing in his hands, and headed out of the lake alone.

The boat was not going fast at all, just like yesterday evening when the two of them went to the west sandbar to pick sweet-scented osmanthus in the twilight.

But this time he didn't have a companion, and he didn't just go and return.

When he said he was leaving, he really wanted to leave.

Xie Linyun stood in the peach grove for more than a quarter of an hour. During this time, the maid who took the recipe tried to ask her a few times, but seeing her slightly twitching shoulders, she dared not again.

Later Wuming came in, probably thinking that she hadn't found Huang Yaoshi yet, so he rushed over to inform her, "Master Huang! I saw Mr. Huang!"

"He—" what he had originally planned, got stuck at the moment when he saw her appearance at this moment, Wuming opened his eyes wide, and almost couldn't believe what he saw.

After being silent for quite a while, he tentatively asked, "You... are you okay?"

Xie Linyun rubbed his eyes, then waved at him again: "I'm fine, don't worry about me, go do your business."

Wuming hesitated and let out an oh, and withdrew from the forest.

Noticing that he was still whispering the correct route to and from the peach grove when he left, Xie Linyun remembered that the flowers and trees in front of him were actually planted by the person who had just broken up with him.

She was still angry, still sad, but she couldn't bear to destroy all these innocent flowers and trees. In the end, she just went back to her yard with a gun in her hand, climbed onto the head of the bed and fell asleep as soon as she felt bored.

Woke up in the middle of the night.

There was a more leaky sound in the house, and the autumn night wind outside the house, whistling on the window frame, it sounded a bit shrill.

Xie Linyun thought that she had recovered from the most sad and grievance, but when she got out of bed and went out, she saw the stack of recipes under the stone outside the house, and she felt sad again.

This stack of paper was soaked in the autumn dew overnight, not only was it cold to the touch, but even the handwriting was slightly blurred.

Xie Linyun picked it up and looked at it for a couple of times, then she became upset and her head ached. She thought for a while that it would be better to throw it away, and then thought again, she was angry at him for being unfeeling, and there was no need to vent her anger on what he left behind.

After dragging for a long time, she took the recipe and went to the place where Huang Yaoshi lived before.

The yard was next door to her.

When she first brought him here, Wuming arranged for him to live there. She originally wanted to say that he could change to a more spacious one.

As a result, he himself said that he didn't care. He didn't pick a place to live in. In the past, he traveled alone in the rivers and lakes, slept in the open, and used the sky as his seat and the ground as his seat.

This time he walked so simply, she thought that the things inside must still be the same as usual.

As a result, the door was pushed open, and what came into view was a room that was so clean that it didn't look like anyone had ever lived in it.

The books of ghosts and Buddhist scriptures on the case were gone, the black jade chessboard on the side of the table was gone, and the set of sapphire peach blossom wine glasses that he had sketched and baked himself in the summer when he had nothing to do was gone.

All traces belonging to him were wiped away by him before he left, as if to tell her that it was not a whim decision.

All of a sudden, Xie Linyun didn't want to pursue any inquiries anymore. She dropped the menu, turned around and went out. After closing the door, she went to practice shooting in the lake.

By the time the rest of the island woke up and started to work for a new day, she had already practiced ten times and watched a majestic sunrise by the way.

Watching the sunrise alone is no worse than watching the sunset with two people.

At least at the moment when the sun rose, she really felt so.

It may be because someone else happened to be present at the time of the "clear break", and afterwards described the situation to others completely. After Huang Yaoshi left, no one came to ask her what happened.

The only one who mentioned it was Yu Luocha who also planned to leave.

Jade Rakshasa was handed over to the nameless person and he had already arrived in Dongting. He had completed his goal of coming to the Central Plains and showed his sincerity to the greatest extent. He felt that it was time to go back to the Western Regions.

After all, it was a cooperative relationship. Before he left, he specially let someone know that he came to pay a visit to Xie Linyun.

Of course, Xie Linyun allowed him to go to the island, and after chatting with him for a while, he personally sent him to the lake.

Before boarding the boat, Yu Luocha glanced at the peach trees on the island with some emotion, and suddenly mentioned his benefactor.

Xie Linyun didn't understand what he meant, so he could only say: "You can't come back to life after death, so don't regret and blame yourself. Her son entered Dongting later, and I will let someone take good care of him. Don't worry."

Yu Luocha shook his head: "I'm not worried about that kid, I'm worried about you, Lake Lord."

Xie Linyun didn't understand: "Me? What do I have to worry about?"

"The lake master just said that people cannot be resurrected after death, so I don't regret it." He paused before continuing, "Actually, the same is true of many things besides life and death. People in the world have countless troubles, and most of them live by force. The lake master is A strong man who is unique in the world has the strength and qualifications to do what he wants."

The words were so obtrusive that people couldn't grasp the point at first, but Xie Linyun, who was usually the most impatient to hear people talking like this, understood it immediately.

Yu Luocha was trying to persuade her that since she still cared about Huang Yaoshi's sudden departure, she might as well worry about it or vent it boldly, instead of forcing herself to pretend that nothing happened.

But this is actually Yu Luocha's misunderstanding.

Xie Linyun didn't deliberately pretend that nothing happened, nor did he hold back from venting.

For her, going to the water to practice guns again is the best way to vent.

But he would say this to her specifically, which surprised her.

"Thank you," she said.

Yu Luocha smiled, said nothing, turned and boarded the boat and left.

It was an early September morning, the end of late autumn and the arrival of frost.

The sweet-scented osmanthus that bloomed for more than half a month began to wither, and when walking on the island in the lake, there was no such refreshing fragrance anymore.

Xie Linyun was unsteady, and wandered around Junshan Island aimlessly. When she turned to the northwest corner, she caught a glimpse of two maids stepping on a ladder to collect sweet-scented osmanthus flowers that hadn't faded deep in the canopy.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered that she and Huang Yaoshi had seen this scene when the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers first bloomed on the island.

The maid who picked them at that time found them two after picking them, and ran over to him boldly to ask him, besides making cakes, how can this sweet-scented osmanthus be used in dishes?

That was the day when he made osmanthus drunken crab for the first time, which surprised her.

He said that sweet-scented osmanthus in different periods has different cooking methods. The scent that has just bloomed for a long time is rich and overbearing. It is especially suitable for use on fish and crabs that need to be muddy. When it is about to bloom, the taste has weakened a lot, so it is suitable for cooking. pastry.

"Generally speaking, osmanthus flowers should bloom five or six days before the Double Ninth Festival. Pick some at that time, which can be used in the Double Ninth Cake. You can try it then."

Now that the sweet-scented osmanthus is really in bloom, and the Double Ninth Festival is really coming, the maids on the island remembered what he said and started to get busy early in the morning.

Standing in the distance, she wanted to step forward several times to stop it, or cut off the few sweet-scented osmanthus trees directly, but in the end she just left silently.

In late September, Dr. Ximen, who went out to see a doctor for Bai Feifei, finally returned to Dongting with the son entrusted to him by the other party.

The child was older than Xie Linyun expected, about fourteen years old, very thin, but very energetic and handsome, with particularly bright eyes.

"His name is A Fei." Doctor Ximen introduced to everyone, "One year younger than Mr. Huang, by the way, why haven't you seen Mr. Huang?"

As soon as the three words Huang Gongzi came out, the expressions of the group of people changed subtly, especially Lin Chaoying who came out to greet people with a smile on his face.

Dr. Ximen noticed this and immediately realized that he might have said the wrong thing.

Just when the atmosphere was about to become awkward, Xie Linyun spoke.

Xie Linyun said: "I remember my husband wrote in a letter earlier saying that A Fei also uses a sword?"

Doctor Ximen nodded immediately: "Yes, he has a good sword."

The topic turned to the sword, Lin Chaoying finally had something to say.

Afterwards, a group of people sat down to eat while chatting about swords. After eating, Lin Chaoying said that she wanted to see Ah Feishi's sword skills.

Xie Linyun squatted on the side to join in the fun, but she was far less serious than Ximen Chuuxue who was on the side.

In the end, when Lin Chaoying said that she felt that she could not teach Ah Fei, she was stunned: "Ah? Why?"

Ximen Chuuxue: "If you read carefully, you won't ask why."

"A Xue!" Doctor Ximen hurriedly stopped his son.

"Uh... I didn't look carefully." Xie Linyun was a little embarrassed, "He was right."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Lin Chaoying who had just watched Ah Fei unleash his sword.

Lin Chaoying: "A Fei's sword already has his own set of rules, even if no one guides him, he can still become a good swordsman."

Having said that, she paused for a moment before continuing: "Take a step back, even if you really want to give advice, Senior Dugu is more suitable."

Xie Linyun: "Really? Then I'll take him to ask Dugu, he's been idle recently anyway."

Of course Lin Chaoying has no objection, she lives closer to Dugu Qiubai, and knows better than Xie Linyun that Dugu Qiubai has been idle recently.

When Dugu Qiubai met A Fei, he appreciated it very much, and immediately said that he accepted this apprentice, and he was short of a successor.

Xie Linyun had known him for so long, so she knew something about his temper. After hearing what he said, she knew that he really wanted this apprentice, so she was relieved.

But when she wanted to let the master and apprentice talk slowly and leave first, Dugu Qiubai suddenly stopped her.

Dugu Qiubai said: "The last time I took the initiative to interrupt the discussion with the Lake Lord, it was to see that the Lake Lord was restless and wanted to wait for the Lake Lord to die, but he had something on his mind to fight again. .”

Xie Linyun didn't refute the sentence that he was too worried, but said: "In this way, I disturbed your interest, and I hope you will forgive me."

Dugu Qiubai said that it doesn't matter, there are times like this in life.

"It's just that the lake master seems to..." He rarely thought about his words, "It seems to be particularly depressed."

Xie Linyun was always at a loss when faced with other people's caring and worried eyes, because they would not ask her.

But in fact, she is really not that fragile, so she dare not mention it.

At least now, Dugu Qiubai talked to her directly about this, and she had no intention of avoiding the topic.

She lowered her eyes, thought about it seriously, and said, "Because there are some facts that I can't figure out."

Dugu Qiubai doesn't usually walk around the island, but maybe because he chats with Lin Chaoying occasionally, he also knows about Huang Yaoshi.

He asked: "Is the master of the lake unable to figure out why that young master Huang left?"

"...No." Xie Linyun shook his head, "He has a weird temper, but he's not the kind of guy who plays with people's hearts and is justified. It's okay for him to leave, but there must be a reason for him to break up with me directly."

"But after thinking about it for so long, I still can't figure out what the reason is."

Dugu Qiubai didn't speak, he probably saw that she didn't finish.

Or to put it more accurately, she didn't need others to answer, she just finally found an opportunity to talk to someone about the painful emotions this incident had brought her.

Xie Linyun continued: "I didn't have any friends before, and he was the first friend I made after leaving the division."

"If I really did something wrong and made him unbearable, then at least... I can at least make amends."

After another moment of silence, she continued, "I really don't want to lose this friend."

Although the matter of losing a friend may not happen without one party's efforts to restore it, but now she has blocked even the way to restore it, and all her efforts have been in vain.

This is really too uncomfortable, it's not that she put it aside and doesn't think about it, and she can ignore it by practicing guns every day to vent.

"...Really, I really don't want to."
