In the small courtyard, young men and girls each held a bundle of fireworks sticks and set them off into the sky. Firecrackers soared into the sky. Under the bright fireworks flying all over the sky, they dotted the slightly empty night sky in the Chu family's small courtyard.
At this moment, the girl looked at the young man's slightly absent-minded eyes, and called out amidst the sound of firecrackers: "Brother Xiao Yi, do you have any New Year's wishes?"
When the young man heard this, he thought very seriously for a moment, and then replied loudly: "I really didn't think about it just now, but now I think of two. The first wish is to make a lot of money and renovate the old house; as for the second wish
Well...Brother Xiaoyi and I have been practicing martial arts recently, so my second wish is to hope that I can achieve great success as soon as possible, and then..."
But before Chu Yi could finish what he said, Xu Ruotong responded excitedly: "Then I'll hit the invincible hand in the world and turn the world upside down with one palm! Hahahahaha... Oops, it hurts..." <
/p>
Chu Yi looked at her innocent appearance and couldn't help but flick his finger in front of her forehead, making the girl squeal again and again.
Chu Yi chuckled and said slowly: "Little girl, why are you thinking about fighting and killing? This is not good. Be careful no one wants you in the future!"
"Disgusting, no one wants you!" Xu Ruotong rolled her eyes at him, then put her hands on her hips, pretending to be cold, and hummed: "Everyone in school who has written me a love letter is almost lined up at the school gate.
....."
I saw her suddenly pause when she said this, as if she remembered something, so she quickly said: "Oh, how could I forget this..."
Chu Yi asked in confusion: "What's going on?"
Xu Ruotong said bluntly: "If it hadn't been for the mention of the word love letter, I might not have remembered it... In fact, in the years since you left, a girl came to see you, and she happened to be
I met her. When she saw that you were not at home, she left a letter for me to deliver to you..."
When Chu Yi heard what she said, he immediately guessed who the person who left the message was. For a moment, all kinds of thoughts came to his mind, and in the blink of an eye, they all turned into a long sigh.
I never thought that after going through many hardships, I would experience the sorrow of youth again...
At this moment, Xu Ruotong stared closely at the young man in front of him who had been away for a long time. After several hardships in life, his face had gained a bit of vicissitudes of life. This was a sign of a man's maturity, but from his eyebrows and eyes, he could see that
I can vaguely see the majestic appearance of my youth.
For a moment, a different kind of emotion arose in the girl's heart, just like the breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples.
Then, she asked cautiously: "Brother Xiao Yi, could that girl be your ex-girlfriend?"
Chu Yi came back to his senses, smiled relievedly and said: "Haha, not really, just a classmate."
When Xu Ruotong heard this, she glanced at him suspiciously, "Are they really just classmates? Did you fight with others because of her? In the end, you were imprisoned..."
Seeing that the scars in Shen Feng's heart for many years were about to be revealed, Chu Yi quickly changed the subject, "Okay, it's all over. Now let's talk about you. What are your New Year's wishes?"
Seeing this, Xu Ruotong couldn't continue to ask questions, so she followed his words, stretched out two fingers, and said with a smile: "I have two wishes now, one is to be admitted to Yenching University, and the other one is
...Hehe, I won’t tell you.”
"Tch, if you don't say it, don't say it." Chu Yi smiled lightly, looked up at the dark night that had become very deep at this time, and said: "Okay, that's it for today. It's already very late. I'll see you off.
Go back."
Xu Ruotong nodded, with a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but he could only respond softly: "Yes."
Then the two of them walked side by side to Xu's house. Along the way, the girl who was originally lively did not say a word, but silently followed the young man. She didn't suddenly speak until she was near the door of the house.
"Brother Xiao Yi, will you go to Yanjing in the future?"
When Chu Yi heard the sound, he seemed to have thought of something, his face changed inexplicably, and then he slowly sighed: "Maybe..."
"Is that so..." The girl looked a little disappointed, but immediately and cautiously asked: "Then if I am admitted to Yenching University and you have time, will you come to see me?"
The girl's voice is very soft and full of expectations.
However, Chu Yi failed to hear it at this time. He thought it was his sister who wanted his brother to visit, so he half-jokingly replied: "Then you have to wish me to make more money, otherwise I won't even be able to pay for the trip."
."
"Then it's settled! No regrets!"
Just receiving a vague promise, the ray of sadness in the girl's heart suddenly disappeared, and her mood improved. She smiled broadly and walked as briskly as a cheerful bunny. After a few hops, she arrived at her home.
In front of the door, she looked back at the young man before entering the house. But after a while, she ran out in a hurry, holding an old envelope in her hand.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ruotong handed the letter into Chu Yi's hand, said good night and then turned back, but everything seemed too hasty, as if he was avoiding something.
Chu Yi didn't think much, just smiled and waved to her, watched the lively figure enter the house, put the envelope in his pocket, and then slowly turned around and returned.
The fireworks are bright tonight, even if they only flicker between light and dark, they are enough to light up the road ahead. Passing by the lights of thousands of houses alone, one's journey home feels a little lonely.
Driving slowly along the way, I don’t know how many times I have walked alone in the dark like today. Suddenly, the back of a child seemed to appear in front of the young man. He walked farther and farther until he reached the end of the road. When he turned around, there was already
The appearance of an adult is the same as mine. In the blink of an eye, twenty-three years have passed.
Chu Yi looked up at the fireworks all over the sky and sighed quietly in his heart. He was not a sentimental person at first, just because tonight thousands of houses were lit up with bright lights and fireworks, but in the dim place, no one was waiting, which inevitably made people feel melancholy.<
/p>
And deep in the darkness, a pair of stern eyes are gradually glowing fiercely with the flickering fireworks.
......
At this moment, in the small courtyard of Taihu Farmhouse, after Gu Zezhi talked with the Earth Master, he could no longer suppress his excitement, and his face was even more ecstatic.
After a while, I managed to calm down and set off to the shore of Taihu Lake, looking up at the sky to get a glimpse of the changes in the stars.
The so-called sky hangs down, and the earth takes shape. The sky and the earth are one. If the earth dragon is alive, how can the sky dragon not wake up?
In today's world, there is peace and prosperity, the national destiny is prosperous, and the dragon of humanity is prosperous, which is very good for the worldly sentient beings.
However, for monks, the human dragon is too strong and can suppress their own body, making it difficult to achieve the great path. This also directly leads to the era of the decline of the Tao in which magical powers are extinct and magic skills are not manifest.
It's funny to say, who would have thought that only in those turbulent times when humanity was declining, Xuanmen magic can be effective... And the last Daoxian era has been more than sixty years ago.
At this moment, Gu Zezhi looked at the fireworks in the sky on the shore of Taihu Lake and couldn't help but shout loudly: "When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together to help me climb the clouds and reach Qingming!"
