Chapter 455: Snowfall Encounters Xiangyu Manor
Some things seem unreal, so we think they are dreams, such as Shen Yichen's drifting journey with the Xuchen Pearl.
What about some things? Because they are too real, we are unwilling to accept them in our hearts, so we think they are dreams! Mu Wanqian lives in such a dream, because she always thinks that her leaving her lady Murong Ruoxi is just a dream!
Mu Wanqian's departure caused Murong Ruoxi's life to fall into a slump, but what about Mu Wanqian? It was her heart that fell into a slump. She seemed to be more miserable than Murong Ruoxi, because Mu Wanqian's life seemed to have suddenly lost its direction and motivation!
Hunchback Cheng Bo accompanied Mu Wanqian all the way south, but ever since Mu Wanqian woke up, her body began to fluctuate between hot and cold, and she was in a daze the whole day, and it seemed that every sentence she spoke contained the word "Miss"!
When the sun rises in the early morning!
"Miss, it's time to get up!"
"Miss, please have a cup of tea and rinse your mouth first!"
"Miss, wear this hibiscus flower dress today. Idiot will definitely like it!"
"Miss, let me comb your hair!"
……
When the sun is at noon!
"Miss, are you tired from practicing? Come and have a cup of tea!"
"Miss, you don't have to work so hard, Qian'er will protect you!"
"Miss, let's have lamb and grilled fish for lunch today, okay?"
……
After dusk falls!
"Miss, you must be exhausted today. Qian'er will bring you some water to soak your feet!"
"Miss, let Qian'er rub your shoulders for you!"
"Miss, you're going to live with this idiot from now on, what should I do?"
……
Hunchback Cheng Bo's heart was broken again and again, because his lady Mu Wanqian had been talking nonsense all the time, she was not awake at all! She was always in a state of half awake!
At first, the hunchback Cheng Bo always thought that Mu Wanqian was injured. Later, he found out that Mu Wanqian was sick. Like ordinary people, she suffered from a cold. This is too rare for a cultivator!
The hunchback Cheng Bo was helpless. He walked into a small town and found a doctor who prescribed some medicine. However, he did not stop his journey south. They were in a hurry! Moreover, the roads Cheng Bo chose were all remote ancient roads, some far and some near.
Especially after entering the territory of Gongsun family, the hunchback Cheng Bo tried his best not to see people, because Gongsun family had a close connection with Youzhou Murong family, but not with Murong Lunbo's lineage. Cheng Bo felt very uneasy, so he was very cautious!
The snow in Yingzhou has been falling from north to south for almost ten days!
Mu Wanqian had been bedridden since she knelt down to worship the Buddha that day. Her complexion improved after she took some medicine. But when she was able to sit up, she burst into tears as she looked at the falling snow! Of course, she also remembered making snowmen, having snowball fights, and the laughter of Zifeng Mountain!
It is true that the sweeter the past was, the more bitter the memories are now!
On this day, it was still snowing until dusk, the road was very slippery, and the two of them were heading south very slowly!
"Uncle Cheng, let's find a place to rest!"
"Okay, miss!"
In fact, it was still early in the evening. Cheng Bo thought Mu Wanqian was too tired, so he slowed down and looked for a place to stay for the night.
Soon, the hunchback Chengbo found a villa. It was obvious that it had been abandoned for a long time. The walls had collapsed, the house was covered with snow, and only half of the door of the villa was left.
The hunchbacked Cheng Bo helped Mu Wanqian get off the carriage. When Mu Wanqian looked up, she was stunned for a moment, because this villa had a name, it was Xiangyu Villa.
Mu Wanqian thought of the Xiangyun Villa in Manghuang, where there were many good memories! She remembered that she secretly drank a sip of wine there, and she remembered that her idea of stepping on it seemed to come from there!
"Miss, we are staying in the main hall. There are four rooms in the back with several coffins. Don't be afraid!"
Of course, those who practice Taoism don’t care about these things, but Hunchback Chengbo still gave a reminder.
Of course Mu Wanqian didn't care, but she remembered that there seemed to be a coffin in Manghuang Xiangyun Villa. She didn't respond, but walked directly into the yard. The hunchbacked Chengbo went to settle the carriage!
In Xiangyu Villa, Mu Wanqian coughed softly, looking at the spacious yet dilapidated courtyard. She did not walk into the main hall, as if she was looking for something!
When the hunchback Cheng Bo came in, he saw Mu Wanqian still in the snow and said:
"Miss, it's cold outside. You're not feeling well. Please go into the main hall!"
Mu Wanqian did not respond. She walked to an open area in the yard and threw her cotton robe to Cheng Bo who was following her.
Mu Wanqian started to make a snowman under the surprised gaze of the hunchback Chengbo!
The hunchbacked Cheng Bo wanted to persuade her several times, but he swallowed his words back because he saw a smile on Mu Wanqian's face. This was the first time Cheng Bo saw it since he rescued Mu Wanqian. He wanted his lady to be happy!
Mu Wanqian built a big snowman in Xiangyu Villa like a child. The snowman's name was of course Xixi! She was so familiar with it, it was exactly the same as Xixi in Youzhou!
"Miss, Qian'er is leaving Yingzhou. I built a snowman for you here to bless you to return to Youzhou safely!"
Mu Wanqian wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to herself!
A gust of evening breeze blew, and Mu Wanqian started coughing again!
Hunchback Cheng Bo came over at this time and said softly:
"Miss, I have built a bonfire in the main hall. Please come in. You must take care of yourself. Miss Xixi is still waiting for you to help her!"
Hunchback Cheng Bo had to change his strategy because he found that Mu Wanqian would not refuse anything that was good for Murong Ruoxi. Otherwise, what he said was just bullshit and Mu Wanqian would simply ignore him, including taking medicine. If it wasn't under the guise of doing good for Murong Ruoxi, Mu Wanqian would not drink it at all!
"Miss, when I return to Youzhou, I will wait for you to climb Zifeng Mountain together. You must come!"
After Mu Wanqian finished speaking, she bowed to the snowman and walked into the main hall. She was shivering from the cold!
In the main hall of Xiangyu Villa, Cheng Bo had prepared everything. Mu Wanqian was now a free lady, and even the sweet pastry after drinking the medicine was prepared!
Of course Mu Wanqian was not polite, because she was a lady, the eldest lady of the Demon Shadow Guard!
Amid the falling snow, dusk enveloped Xiangyu Villa.
Mu Wanqian was walking from north to south and stayed overnight at Xiangyu Villa. At this time, a person was walking from south to north towards Xiangyu Villa. She was a woman, a woman wearing a veil. It was Ouyang Zhiqing who left Yunmeng Temple!
Since leaving Yunmeng Temple, Ouyang Zhiqing no longer had any hesitation in her heart, and of course no longer stopped and walked, but walked all the way to the northwest. She wanted to go to Jianying City as soon as possible and end worldly affairs, because she had found her home!
There is one more monk and nun in Yunku Mountain, and the three lives are forgotten in Yunmeng Temple!
Ouyang Zhiqing saw what seemed to be a fire in Xiangyu Villa from a long distance away. When she walked to the front of the villa, she realized that it was also someone passing by. However, what she didn't expect was that there was a girl with a beauty so beautiful that she could shame the moon and flowers in the villa!
Hunchback Chengbo had reminded Mu Wanqian before, so when Ouyang Zhiqing walked in, Mu Wanqian was not too surprised, but just nodded slightly.
Ouyang Zhiqing took off her veil, shook off the snow, and said:
"Is it convenient to sit here?"
Ouyang Zhiqing was pointing at the campfire!
Mu Wanqian nodded. She was of course shocked in her heart. In this desolate mountain wilderness, a woman stayed overnight alone in Hanzhuang. The key point was that this woman had a stunning beauty!
Mu Wanqian felt that this woman was prettier than Murong Ruoxi. No, not as pretty as Murong Ruoxi. Mu Wanqian denied her first impression directly in her heart, because Murong Ruoxi was her lady and the most beautiful person in her heart!
The hunchback Chengbo had been looking at the campfire with a normal expression. He was reminiscing and searching in the past years. He had seen this woman before, but he couldn't remember her for a moment!
After Ouyang Zhiqing sat down, she and Mu Wanqian looked at each other and both smiled slightly without saying anything. I guess they were both appreciating each other's beauty!
"It's her! Didn't she marry into the Ji family in Zhongzhou?"
The hunchbacked Cheng Bo still found Ouyang Zhiqing in a corner of his memory. That was twenty years ago. Ouyang Zhiqing married far away in Zhongzhou. When she passed through Youzhou, Murong Rongbo hosted a banquet for the people from the Ji family in Zhongzhou who came to pick up the bride. Cheng Bo accidentally saw Ouyang Zhiqing, it was a glimpse of her beauty!
Hunchback Chengbo was puzzled. How could such a person appear here alone? But this had nothing to do with them!
After warming herself by the campfire for a while, Ouyang Zhiqing walked out of the main hall alone. When she came in, she saw a snowman. She walked to the snowman, seemed to recall the past, and watched quietly, letting the falling snow turn her hair white!
Mu Wanqian stood in the main hall, looking at Ouyang Zhiqing standing quietly in the snow. Of course, she didn't know this woman, but she had a feeling that this was someone with a story!
Oh, yes! This night was supposed to be a full moon night, but the weather was not good!
