In fifty years of prosperity, the white-haired Ah Da and Ah Jiu have become a virtuous couple envied by everyone in Jinping City. The position of the head of Qinyinfang has been passed to the slim A Ling ten years ago. She is now

I am no longer afraid of going ashore, and I even bring back a bunch of candied haws for Ah Da every time I go ashore.

On the flower boat in Qinyinfang, Ah Da was guarding Ah Jiu's bedside. One day in the 40th year of Shengde, Ah Jiu fainted and contracted a strange disease. Not only was he unable to get out of bed, he even needed to be fed by Ah Da. However, Ah Jiu was unable to get out of bed.

Ah Da stayed with Ah Jiu quietly, only occasionally looking in the direction of Qin Du in a daze. Whenever he looked at Qin Du, it meant that he missed Shi Wu. Then it would start to rain in Jinping City,

It lasts for several days at a time.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, after Ah Da helped Ah Jiu feed lunch, the door to his and Ah Jiu's room was banged heavily. The man outside called Ah Da's name from time to time. Here, his name was Wu Da.

Ah Jiu was obviously a little afraid of the person outside. After lunch, he said he was sleepy and wanted to sleep. After covering Ah Jiu with the quilt, Ah Da went out carrying the bowl and spoon.

After opening the door, Ah Da saw the young man outside the door who was wearing a blue robe with a black cloud embroidered on it. He had a pair of beautiful eyes, which were different from Shi Wu's eyes that were like stars in the sky.

There was a sharp edge in his eyes.

But as soon as the young man saw Ah Da, the sharp look in his eyes turned into joy. He patted Ah Da on the shoulder and said, "Those people below won't let me pay on credit again."

Ada made a silent gesture, turned around and looked at Ajiu. Although she could hear a slight snoring, she could still be seen shivering under the quilt. Ada gently closed the door and said to

The young man said: "Lan Sheath, let's talk after we get down."

The young man known as Lan Sheath hummed. When Ah Da turned around and closed the door, he glanced at Ah Jiu on the bed with a sharp cold look in his eyes, and then he went down with Ah Da with a smile.

Lan Shen came to the Qinyinfang flower boat on a rainy night ten years ago. That night, Qinyinfang was still full of guests. A Ling's piano skills were famous in Jinping City and even the entire Qin capital. But Lan Shen was not.

He came here for A Ling, he came to see A Da, and he wanted to treat A Da to a drink.

Ah Da had a strange feeling of reuniting with an old friend for this young man who suddenly came to him. It was obviously the first time for him to meet him, but Ah Da didn't mind having a drink with him all night.

They didn't talk that night, they just raised their glasses, clinked their glasses, looked at each other, and finished their drinks. The night rain fell outside the flower boat in Qinyinfang, witnessing a speechless drinking party.

Early the next morning, when he saw that the strange young man was about to leave, Ada asked the young man to wait, and then ran to his room and took out a long cloth bundle. He reluctantly handed the long cloth bundle to him.

He said to the young man standing on the deck: "Here is a magic weapon that I got by chance before, but I can no longer use it. I don't know why, but I always feel that I should give it to you."

The young man looked at the long cloth bundle in Ah Da's hand and introduced himself for the first time: "My name is Lan Sheath."

Ada was stunned for a moment, because he had asked Lan Shou when he came to see him last night, but Lan Shou did not tell him his name. Ada thought that this young man might be leaving, and wanted to tell him before leaving.

His last name is already there. Ah Da smiled and said, "Yes, I remember it. Just call me Ah Da."

Lan Sheath's expression changed, and she asked, "Then what is the name of this magic weapon in your hand?"

"Huh?" Ah Da's head suddenly hurt, but he always remembered Ah Jiu and A Ling telling him not to think about those things if he had a headache. He rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I forgot too, since I have already

I gave it to you, so you can give it a name."

Lan Sheath took the long cloth bundle handed over by Ah Da, and did not bother about the name, but asked again: "Isn't this magic weapon very important to you?"

Ah Da nodded and said: "It used to be, but it has been gathering dust for ten years, so why not give it to you."

The long cloth bundle in Lan Sheath's hand emits a crystal blue light, as if he is not leaving Ah Da. I don't know who Lan Shen is saying to: "No one else will remember you, are you still going to stay here?"

Ada was a little confused and said: "What did you say?"

The blue light in the long cloth bag seemed to shine through. Lan Sheath sighed when he saw it, and said to Ah Daodao: "I'm going to Qindu, do you want to go with me?"

"Qindu?" Ah Ziran wanted to go. He had already been there several times in his dream. He had thought about it. Even if he didn't talk to Shi Wu, it would be good to take a look from a distance. He could go to him.

He told Ajiu several times that he wanted to go to Qindu together, and Ajiu and Aya used various excuses to get him to stay. But this time, he really wanted to go to Qindu with this young man.

Lan Sheath asked again: "Do you want to go?"

Ada could no longer suppress his inner thoughts and affirmed: "Yes! Just wait for me, I will explain to my wife."

After Ah Da finished speaking, he hurriedly ran into the flower boat, but the blue sheath on the deck shook his head.

By the time Ah Da went to Ah Jiu to say goodbye, Ah Jiu had already fainted in the corridor. Ah Da was panicked and hurriedly sent for the best doctor in Jinping City. After checking his pulse, the doctor just shook his head and told Ah Da,

It is said that Ah Jiu is suffering from an incurable disease, and his body will gradually begin to lose consciousness. If someone can accompany Ah Jiu and take good care of him, he may be able to live for ten or eight years. If he receives any major stimulation, he may not even be able to live for several years.

I can't make it through the month.

After hearing this, Ada felt like he was struck by lightning. He looked at Ajiu who was lying unconscious on the bed and blamed himself for not taking good care of her before. When Ada sent the doctor out, he saw the blue sheath still waiting for him on the deck.

.

Ada felt ashamed and said, "I shouldn't be able to go to Qindu with you."

"Oh." A whimpering sound came from the long cloth bundle in Lan Sheath's hand.

Ah Da's heart seemed to be aching, and he asked: "If you can, help me go to the Shi family in Qindu to inquire about a child named Shi Wu, and ask him how he is doing in the Shi family."

Lan Shen said: "Since you care about him so much, then go take a look for yourself."

Ah Dawei said, "But my wife is sick and bedridden now. I'm afraid that she won't be able to see me when she wakes up, and her condition will become more serious."

Lan Sheath said: "You..."

"I'm sorry. I had promised you before, but now I have broken the promise." Ada apologized.

Lan Shen said coldly: "That's all, don't go."

After Lan Shou said goodbye, Ah Da felt an indescribable sadness in his heart, as if a long-time friend was telling him that he would never see her again.

Ah Da couldn't help but want to keep the blue sheath, but when he stretched out his hand and said what he wanted to say, he stopped after Ah Ling suddenly appeared. Ah Ling came over in a hurry and told Ah Da that Ah Jiu was awake.

Lan Sheath turned around and looked back at A Ling. That sharp sword-like gaze made A Ling timidly go back to the flower boat. Lan Sheath stopped A Da who was about to go back to the flower boat, and then he slowly walked to the deck. On the edge, he loosened the long cloth bundle he was holding in his hand. The long cloth bundle sank to the bottom of the river without a splash of water.

Ah was shocked and said: "What are you doing?"

Lan Sheath looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds and said, "I have decided not to leave. I will fish out this long cloth bundle when I leave one day."

After hearing this, Ada was not only not angry, but was very happy because the young man was willing to stay.

In this way, Lan Shou stayed on the flower boat in Qinyinfang for ten years. During this period, countless rumors spread throughout Jinping City, saying that a young man came to Qinyinfang who ate and drank for free. He was very handsome but did shameless things. .There were a lot of discussions about Lan Shou in Qinyin Shop, but Lan Shou, a young man, seemed to have practiced the golden bell and iron cloth shirt. He laughed at the hurtful words from outside. Even once, a customer pointed it out to his face. When Lan Shou scolded him for cheating on food and drink, he just glanced at the other person, and the man shrank back and ran away in fear of Lan Shou's sharp eyes.

I don’t know since when, the people in Qinyinfang have become more and more dissatisfied with Lan Shou. Although they dare not say anything to Lan Shou in person, they can start with their daily food. After so many years of expenditure, Lan Shou has long been here. He started to pay on credit, so once Lan Sheath takes credit, those people will neglect him. But Lan Sheath seems to be so happy, and every time when this happens, he will run up to find A Da, just like today.

Ada took the blue sheath down to the flower boat hall. It was now noon in the cold winter, and the Chinese New Year would be coming again in a few days. Under Ada’s instructions, the people on the flower boat served some side dishes, took a pot of wine, and sent Arriving at the private room where Lan Shen first came.

Ah Da and Lan Shou sat down separately in the private room, looking at the sky that was about to rain outside the window. Ah Da said with emotion: "I remember the night you came, it was also raining outside."

Lan Sheath took a sip of wine and said, "Yes."

"But you didn't have an umbrella in your hand at that time." Ah Dayi said after taking a sip.

Lan Shen smiled and said: "Who stipulates that you must hold an umbrella on rainy days?"

Ah Da also smiled and said: "That's true. You have been here for ten years."

"You think I've lived here too long?" Lan Shen joked.

Ah Da nodded and said, "Well, it's time for you to go."

"You...are chasing me?" Lan Sheath said in disbelief.

Ada poured Lan Sheath a glass of wine and said, "After finishing this meal, pick up Juan Sui and take it away."

Lan Sheath's whole body was shaken, and the hand holding the wine glass paused.

Ada raised his wine glass, clinked it with Lan Sheath and said: "Although I can't remember the past clearly, it doesn't mean that I am a fool. There are many things that I didn't understand ten years ago. It’s time to figure it out. Thank you all the way, I’m sorry.”

Lan Sheath, who was called Judgment by Ada, suddenly laughed, tears fell unconsciously from his eyes, and he drank the water and wine in the glass.

At the same time, the entire Jinping City began to shatter and dissipate from the outermost periphery. On the Qinyinfang flower boat in the center of Jinping City, Ada was still saying goodbye to Juan Sui.

Ada asked: "Is Lan Sheath your real name?"

Lan Sheath replied: "No more, from now on I will be called Judgment. Because this is the name given to me by the Killing Sword Ada. No matter who hands it falls into in the future, I will only be called by this name. If those people are called If the name is wrong, then I will make a Lord-Eating Sword."

Ada laughed heartily, raised his glass and said, "It's a great honor."

The young man in a blue robe, who only had a conviction, toasted Ada with a glass of wine and said, "You are worth it."

When the two of them drank together, only the inland river area was left in the area where Jin Ping City disappeared.

Judgment said: "Have you made your decision?"

"Hmm." Ada continued, "Is this a dream, or should I say, an illusion?"

Judgment said: "It is based on the illusion created in your heart. Everything here may be a continuation of Shi Wu's safety and health, fabricated after you left the Shi family. Any factors that can stimulate your awakening will be avoided here, allowing you to

Spend the rest of your life in peace. When you die here, you will also die outside. But I didn't expect that you would wake up on your own and remember so many things."

Ah Da seemed to feel something and said: "Maybe someone came in again."

Duan Zui asked in confusion: "Is someone coming in again?"

"Well, I have a feeling that someone very close to me has come in, but I don't know if he is an enemy or a friend." Ada said calmly.

Judgment's eyes were as sharp as a sword and said: "Previously, I was afraid of affecting you, so I couldn't kill people in your illusion. Now I don't need to, but you want me to kill the person? Or, in other words, kill everyone here."

Ah Da stopped him and said, "No need. Since this is my fantasy, it's up to me to decide. After you drink this drink, you can leave first. I want to see Ah Jiu again."

"She actually..." Juan Sui was stopped mid-sentence by Ada raising his hand.

Ah laughed and said: "I know. Drink!"

Looking at Ah Da's smile, Duan Zui nodded and said, "Okay, let's drink!"

After the two drank the last cup, Duan Sui, who was dressed in blue robes, disappeared in front of Ah Da, and only a strip of cloth was left in the long cloth bundle wrapped in the Duan Sui sword in the water.
