Chapter 29 Reunion
Mo Yun seemed to say something in the coachman's ear, and the coachman nodded in response, and with the sound of "drive..." the carriage began to move forward.
Because the snow on the ground was too thick, the carriage bumped along the way. Mo Yun kept coughing. Ji Nuan originally had something to ask but had to endure it.
"Huh..." Following the coachman's voice, the carriage slowly stopped. Ji Nuan got off the carriage first. In front of him was a bamboo forest. There was a bamboo house in the bamboo forest, and there were several red plum trees in front of the house.
Ji Nuan turned around in confusion, but Mo Yun did not get out of the car, and then smiled at her, "This bamboo house can provide temporary shelter from the wind and snow. Let's stay here for a few days, girl!"
Then the groom got out of the car and handed her a bag of dry food. Before Ji Nuan could ask again, they were already gone with a "drive" sound.
Ji Nuan was confused but still opened the door and walked in. The furnishings in the room were simple, except for a set of tables and chairs, there was only a bed and a guqin.
Ji Nuan walked to the guqin and sat down. He saw that one of the strings of the guqin was broken. He touched the string lightly with his finger and heard, "Dang..." The guqin immediately made an unpleasant noise.
"Why is this place so cold? It feels like..." Ji Nuan felt that this place was quite suitable for Song Wangchen to live.
"Ha..." Ji Nuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, getting rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, taking out a sesame seed cake and eating it, looking at the flying snow in the sky, he fell into deep thought again.
He sat like this until the evening, but the snow didn't stop for a moment, and the cold wind blew. Ji Nuan got up and closed the door, then walked to the bedside and lay down.
Ji Nuan was covered with a thin green quilt and stared straight at the roof, not feeling sleepy at all. Listening to the whistling sound of the humble door, it seemed as if the bamboo house would be blown down by the wind as soon as he fell asleep.
He closed his eyes in a daze, and suddenly the door was pushed open gently. Song Wangchen closed the door and slowly approached. He was covered with thick snow, as if he had been standing in the heavy snow all day.
He looked at the person in front of him and felt relieved. It was great to be able to look at her quietly like this.
Ji Nuan felt unusually cold in her sleep, and curled up unconsciously. Seeing this, Song Wangchen immediately injected spiritual power into her, and Ji Nuan suddenly felt much warmer, with a smile on her face.
Song Wangchen stayed like this all night. Early the next morning, Ji Nuan was woken up by the cold. She had felt very warm before, but it became cold as soon as dawn came.
She stood up and opened the window, but the heavy snow did not stop. "Oh, this snow won't last until the Chinese New Year, right?" She said and opened the door again.
The snow outside the door was getting thicker and thicker, and suddenly the footprints on the snow caught her eye. Although the footprints were almost covered by the snow, the shallow marks were still clearly visible.
Ji Nuan was puzzled as to who had been here, and suddenly a thought came to his mind, 'It's Song Wangchen, it must be him.'
Ji Nuan walked forward quickly following the footprints until he came out of the bamboo forest and saw a black figure standing proudly in the snow. With that strong figure and familiar back, Ji Nuan immediately recognized him.
"Song Wangchen, it's really you..." Ji Nuan's voice was trembling and mixed with excitement.
Song Wangchen turned around slowly, and when their eyes met, Ji Nuan responded with a sweet smile, and she slowly walked to him and stopped.
"Why are you here?"
Song Wangchen didn't answer. Ji Nuan looked at the snow on his body and said distressedly, "Why don't you go in?"
Song Wangchen still said nothing, just froze on the spot, motionless.
"You saved me before, right? Since you saved me, why did you abandon me again? Also, how did you find me?"
Seeing that he still didn't answer, Ji Nuan said angrily, "If you don't want to see me, why do you want to save me?"
After a while, Song Wangchen replied, "Passing by, by the way."
"Haha, passing by, by the way, that's it." Ji Nuan smiled bitterly and turned around, feeling sad in her heart, "It turns out that he was just passing by and saved me. What on earth was I expecting?"
Song Wangchen looked at Ji Nuan's walking back, feeling extremely reluctant to give up, but still refused to say more, 'You don't belong here, it's safer to go back to your world.'
Thinking of this, Song Wangchen turned and left, and the two of them ended up going in opposite directions.
Ji Nuan wiped her tears and said fiercely, "I will no longer have any illusions about you. I want to go back as soon as possible, quickly!"
Ji Nuan hates herself now. Since she came to this place, she has become more and more fragile. She sheds tears at every turn and is less and less fond of smiling. She wonders if she has become indifferent because she has been playing Song Wangchen for a long time.
Already.
Xue stopped at the right time. Ji Nuan randomly chose a path and returned to Qinzhou City. Looking at the noisy crowd in front of her, she wondered how Cheng Xiaorou and the others were doing with their investigation into the disappearance of the monks.
"Ji Nuan, why are you here? Didn't you leave?"
Ru Mu held a bunch of candied haws in her hand and asked vaguely with one in her mouth. Ru Qin next to her heard the words and immediately ran to Ji Nuan.
He took her hand and said, "Since you're back, don't leave. The Chinese New Year is in two days and Qinzhou is quite lively. Why don't we celebrate the Chinese New Year together!"
Mu Xi has been doing the same thing for ten years, no matter whether it is New Year or festival, it is the same as usual, practicing again and again. Except Cheng Xiaorou occasionally cooks delicious food for them during New Year and festival, they have never really had a decent New Year when they are so old.
, they were extremely happy to have such an opportunity this time.
"How is the investigation into the monk's disappearance?" Ji Nuan felt much better when she saw the two of them looking happy.
Ruqin shook his head and sighed, "Oh! Forget it, we have been taking turns keeping watch these past few nights, and we haven't seen anything happen. We can't feel any demonic energy in Qinzhou City!"
Ji Nuan smiled and said, "No wonder you are so leisurely and comfortable. Wouldn't it be better if there were no monsters?"
"That's right, we can spend a good year here with peace of mind." Ru Mu looked excited, bit another candied haws, and skipped back to the inn.
"Miss Ji, you are back." Jiang Yu smiled and saluted as soon as he saw Ji Nuan.
"Yes, where is Tang Siyan? Why haven't you seen him?" Ji Nuan asked as he looked at the deserted inn. Apart from a few of them, there were no other Muxi disciples here.
"Master is resting in his room! Everyone is tired after patrolling all night."
"Hmph, that lazy guy won't be able to get up if he doesn't sleep till night. If he refuses to listen to us if we tell him not to go out with us, he will only hold us back," Ru Mu snorted disdainfully.
Ji Nuan smiled and said, "Then why don't you go rest?"
"We're not tired," Ruqin replied. They were still young and full of curiosity about this place, so naturally they didn't feel tired.
Ji Nuan thought about it and decided to spend the New Year with them before leaving. Anyway, he couldn't go back for a while.
"Shopkeeper, please arrange a room for me." "Waiter, please arrange a room for me." Ji Nuan's and Yu Man's voices sounded at the same time.
The two looked at each other. Ji Nuan walked to Yu Man with a smile, patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "What a coincidence, you are here too."
"Yes." Yu Man responded and took out a piece of silver and put it in front of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper picked up the silver and said with a smile, "We only have one room here. Since the girl gave the money first, you can live in it! Waiter,
Take the girl upstairs."
Ji Nuan said politely, "Then let's live together!"
Yu Man looked back at her with a confused expression, while Jiang Yu, Rumu, and Ruqin all had doubts on their faces. It would be strange for Yu Man's temperament to live with her.
Ji Nuan didn't wait for Yu Man to answer, took her wrist and followed the waiter upstairs. The three people below looked at me, and I looked at you. Rumu even rolled the candied haws in his mouth to the floor.
"Why did you end up here?" After the waiter left, Ji Nuan took Yu Man's hand and sat down at the table. Yu Man was obviously not used to such close contact with people, so he couldn't help but pull his hand away.
"I heard that a monk was missing in Qinzhou, so I came to have a look." Yu Man replied in a rare and gentle manner, but his eyes were wandering, as if he was a little embarrassed.
"Oh! Then you must be tired!" Ji Nuan walked to the bed, pulled away the neat quilt on the bed, and said with a smile, "Come here and have a rest!"
Yu Man felt even more embarrassed when he saw her actions. He kept sitting at the table and kept touching the table with his fingers.
"What's wrong? What's there to be embarrassed about? We are all girls, what are we afraid of?"
Ji Nuan had already walked over, pulled her to the bedside and sat down, and took off her shoes himself.
The softness in Yu Man's heart was opened little by little. Except for her mother, no one in the world had ever treated her like this.
Seeing that she was still in a daze, Ji Nuan helped her lie down by her shoulders and covered her with a quilt.
"Why are you so nice to me?" Yu Man suddenly asked. She had treated her like that before, but she repaid him with kindness.
Ji Nuan had asked Cheng Xiaorou this question before. Thinking of this, Ji Nuan smiled and replied, "Because you are worth it!" Same question, same answer.
'Am I worth it?' Yu Man asked himself in his heart, 'Am I really worth it?'
Ji Nuan then ordered the kitchen to cook two more dishes and asked the waiter to deliver them for lunch, but he left the inn and walked alone on the street.
"Get out of the way, Mo Mansion is investigating. All suspicious people will be arrested, and everyone else will get out of the way." A Mo Mansion disciple shouted as he walked. Behind him were a dozen disciples wearing the same red clothes.
Pedestrians gave way one after another, for fear of injuring themselves, but they pointed at them after they left, generally saying "What happened again?"
"Is another monk missing?"
"How unreasonable..."
Ji Nuan looked at the appearance of the person who came, wasn't it the groom who sent her to the bamboo house yesterday? Unexpectedly, he was also a disciple of the Mo family, so he thought he was just a groom.
"Brother, what happened?" Ji Nuan walked up to him and asked.
He wanted to get angry, but after seeing Ji Nuan's appearance, he said respectfully, "It turns out to be a girl! Another monk disappeared yesterday. Mo An is investigating the suspicious person. Is the girl also a cultivator? Qinzhou is not peaceful recently, girl.
Be very careful."
"Yes, thank you, brother." Ji Nuan clearly heard Ruqin and the others say nothing happened, but now someone is missing, but the Muxi disciples didn't notice it.
"You're welcome, just be careful, girl. Mo An still has a mission and I won't accompany you. I'll take my leave." Mo An saluted and left.
