The girl's abrupt words made the atmosphere stagnant.
Looks of surprise appeared on everyone's faces.
"What did you say?"
The first person to react was Li Nanke, who looked at Meng Xiaotu with an extremely serious expression, "What do you think Grandma Meng's name is?"
At this time, the doubts that had always lingered in the man's heart were gradually dissipating.
"I said, my grandma is also called Meng Shuangshuang."
Meng Xiaotu said.
The nervous girl did not realize the seriousness of the matter.
Li Nanke froze on the spot.
Meng Shuangshuang...
But after they had been struggling for so long, didn't they just hope they could change the past? But in the end, nothing changed.
After thinking this through, Li Nanke fell into a trance.
Bai Buai pushed Li Nanke away and walked out of the alley.
"I don't want to stay in the Night Patrol Division anymore, I don't want to go to the capital anymore, and I don't want to pursue any fame or fortune."
But Meng Shuangshuang didn't know that he had traveled through time and space from beginning to end, because the Taoist temple was protected by a magic circle and basically remained unchanged.
Li Nanke stopped talking and gave the man time to buffer his emotions.
Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
The official said: "This Meng Shuangshuang used to be a villager in Xiaxiaolei Village and lived with her aunt. Later, the village was changed to Hecun. Five years later, the higher-ups issued policies to gradually incorporate the people of Hecun.
within the city and provide subsidies.
Or maybe Phoenix Mountain was affected by the red rain.
"Of course - no, no..."
She raised her head hard, swallowed back the tears that were swirling in her eyes, and continued to say with a smile, "So he changed his name to Bai Buai, saying that men should 'get but don't love'.
Bai Buai looked at Li Nanke doubtfully, confused. "What's up and down?"
Meng Xiaotu felt her grandma's hand tightening and trembling. She closed her eyes, and her tears could no longer be controlled and fell down the corners of her eyes.
Others... Li Nanke sighed.
In less than half a minute, the official found the person he was looking for. He raised his head and said to Bai Buai: "My young prince, you have found the person you are looking for!"
The two of them were silent.
After a while, he came back to his senses and said angrily: "What the hell are you thinking about? This is not the person I am looking for! This is not the person I am looking for!!"
She would rather the person her grandma was waiting for died than accept such a tease from God.
After all, subconsciously, he and Shuangshuang separated two years ago.
"Remember your mother's fault!"
Meng Xiaotu's eyes turned red and she almost shed tears. She suppressed her emotions and asked with a cry, her eyes full of expectation.
Bai Buai told the girl his real name, which is... Bai Beiyan."
"..." Bai Buai blinked, "You, you, what did you say? Wait a minute, you didn't say that Little Rabbit's grandma was just Shuangshuang. Brother, they just have similar names."
From a distance, Li Nanke watched silently.
The stars in the sky outside the door flickered, as if countless eyes were watching the couple.
Perhaps it was because she was carrying a gift from an old Taoist priest.
If Bai Buai hadn't gone to Phoenix Mountain at that time, would everything have been different?
The red rope inside lies quietly.
Grandma Meng did not speak.
But thinking of the image of grandma waiting alone, the girl's voice gradually became smaller.
The gentle and quiet woman, like a picture, sat quietly at the table. When she saw the man coming back, she put down the medical book in her hand and stepped forward to greet him.
Looking at Li Nanke's ugly face, the thoughtful Shangguan Guan saw the clues and frowned and said, "Don't tell me that Grandma Meng is the Shuangshuang girl he is looking for."
"Where!"
But when she went home later, she was lost.
Bai Buai stared at him, a vein pulsing gently on his temples. In the end, he turned around and left without saying anything more.
"Grandma, the clever ones experienced a very magical story this time. They returned to Phoenix Mountain two years ago and killed a bad woman who turned into a monster.
"Bullshit!"
Bai Buai laughed when he heard this, waved his hands and said, "Anyway, I won't believe anything you say now."
"Why can't I find a living person?"
But...
After the setting sun sank behind the Western Mountains, the mist gradually spread as the setting sun fell.
Grandma Meng sat facing the afterglow of the setting sun.
That little girl has the same name as you, grandma."
And they traveled to Phoenix Mountain two years ago.
Bai Buai was stunned for a moment after hearing what the girl said, but didn't think much about it.
The facts have been put before us, and the chance of misunderstanding is almost impossible. Li Nanke's words are just to comfort the little rabbit.
Seeing Li Nanke appear, Bai Buai felt as if he had seen a savior, and said quickly: "Old Li, I can't find Shuangshuang. I've been looking for a long time today. I've searched almost all over Xiaolei Village and found nothing. I can't even ask anyone."
have no idea.
Sensing that her husband was in a bad mood, Luo Qianqiu stopped asking and gently hugged the man's waist with both arms.
Listening to the official's statement, Bai Buai froze on the spot.
He thought he would be able to meet his sweetheart smoothly, but who knew that only two years later, he couldn't even find her.
Then he will go crazy, really crazy.
The reason is that Phoenix Mountain has changed and she cannot go back.
Bai Buai glared at the little official with a red face, his face full of eagerness and fear, "Tell me, did her family move? Or did she go away for some other reason?"
"She has been waiting for you for forty-eight years."
Li Nanke held his wife's little face and said softly,
Shangguan Guan looked up at the sky and whispered to Li Nanke: "Do you still remember that when we left, two red clouds appeared in the sky? It means that we are not the only ones traveling through time and space, but there are other people."
She is like an old sculpture or a withered leaf.
But Meng Shuangshuang refused to enter the city and lived alone in the original place. It has been almost thirty years now..."
When Li Nanke found Bai Buai, he was in the government office and lost his temper at the official responsible for managing household registration.
Li Nanke remained silent.
Different from the previous silent atmosphere, this time's silence is more like an invisible farewell.
According to Grandma Meng's age, she should have traveled to Phoenix Mountain forty-six years later.
Outside the courtyard gate, a woman in green clothes and a bamboo hat stood quietly.
Li Nanke didn't say a word, but held his wife tightly in his arms, deeply smelling the refreshing fragrance and warmth on the woman's neck, as if he wanted to rub the woman into his heart.
I always feel like my grandma’s figure in front of me is gradually disappearing in the haze.
He said that once people fall in love, they will taste very bitter.
The official looked sad and said, "I have carefully checked all the household registrations in Xiaolei Village in recent years, and there is no such person as you mentioned. Did you remember the name wrong?"
At this moment, Bai Buai clearly understood the truth.
"But...but this is Meng Shuangshuang."
At that time, Grandma Meng seemed to recognize him, and even asked him about a person's name... Brother Bei!
…………
"She has the half of the red rope."
The old man walked towards the house step by step on crutches.
"Ms. sir, you're back."
Meng Xiaotu, who had already returned home, stared at her grandma for a long time before she regained her composure and pretended to be relaxed and sat next to the old man, "Grandma, the smart guy is back."
Not only does Bai Bu like that a love that is not easy to come by will end in tragedy.
Grandma is also named Meng Shuangshuang...Is this a coincidence?
Bai Buai smiled brightly and said to Meng Xiaotu, "Miss Xiaotu, you can have whatever you want this time. There is no shop like this after passing this village."
But even if you die, it will be stated in your household registration.
He wanted to stay with that girl forever and live a happy life.
The girl blinked her thick eyelashes, tears filling her eyes.
So when they parted, he made a promise to the girl and asked her to wait for two years. After two years, he would go find her and marry her in a big sedan chair...
Forty-eight years...this is such a long number.
The girl still didn't look at her grandma's expression at this moment, and said with a choked voice, "He said that he wanted to marry that girl, and he wouldn't be afraid even if he was kicked out by the family.
"Please look for the name Meng Shuangshuang."
But the funniest thing is that little prince Bai Buai..."
Although he knew this hope was slim.
Li Nanke said.
so……"
Shuangshuang is now around 20 years old.
Girls Shuangshuang went to Phoenix Mountain to look for medicinal materials. When they went to stay at a Taoist temple at night, for some unknown reason, they mistakenly traveled to Phoenix Mountain in the future.
Having said that, Bai Buai signaled the guards to drive the carriage.
Arriving in a remote and deserted alley, Bai Buai was still chattering and cursing,
"You're actually an official at this level. Damn it, it's so hard to find someone. By the way, why did I forget about Nie Qianhu? It's much better to let the shadow guard find someone than these losers..."
Except for some initial emotional changes, her face remained calm as usual, staring blankly into the distance.
Li Nanke asked, very seriously.
The official suddenly remembered something, shook his head and said, "Thirty years ago, Xiaolei Village was divided into upper and lower villages. But later, lower Xiaolei Village was divided and changed into He Village. Then it was gradually moved to the city. So now Xiaolei Village
Leicun is the former Shangcun."
The woman chewed these words carefully, a daze appeared on her charming face, and finally turned into a sigh.
"good."
I hope Grandma Meng and Meng Shuangshuang just happen to have the same name.
This woman is the one who came to Yan Yunfang before.
As soon as these words came out, Meng Xiaotu and Leng Xinnan's expressions froze.
In short, that night, two people from different time and space intersected at that moment.
They both waited hard for forty-eight years.
The old man returned to the house and took out the box.
It wasn't until the last ray of light on the horizon disappeared behind Phoenix Mountain that grandma stood up tremblingly. Meng Xiaotu wanted to help her, but she waved her hand and refused.
Shouldn't Shuangshuang be from two years ago? Why did he suddenly become so old?
Her hair turned white, her teeth fell out, her eyes were blurred, and her waist was bent...
But this time, he actually fell in love with a girl from a mountain village whom he had never looked down on before.
"Let me go and look for you."
As the eldest princess, she knew very well that there had been no major famine near Yuncheng in recent years.
Luo Qianqiu looked at her husband lovingly, happiness gradually spread in her beautiful eyes, which were full of joy. She nodded lightly, "Okay, my husband will support me in whatever I do."
Soon he brought an old and yellowed record book and said happily: "Yes, the record book is still there!"
Bai Buai still wanted to shout angrily, but Li Nanke forcibly dragged her out of the government office.
I thought of the other person sitting alone in front of the door day after day, year after year, looking at Phoenix Mountain.
Others had sad looks on their faces.
The food is still on the table.
Bai Buai scratched his head and said with a puzzled expression: "Lao Li, what we are looking for is from two years ago. What's the use of looking for something from more than thirty years ago?"
————
Li Nanke recalled the scene when he met Grandma Meng for the first time, when she suddenly became excited for no reason.
The girl's delicate white hands are in contrast to the old man's rough, boneless hands, as if time and space are overlapping, as if they are reflecting each other's youth and old age.
Her beautiful and plump figure is like a charming mountain spirit at night. Under her loose clothes, her curved and concave gourd waist, as well as her extremely rich plumpness, all exude the charm of a mature woman.
"Is the old household registration book of Xiaxiaolei Village still there?" Li Nanke ignored him and asked the official again.
Li Nanke looked at the excited young prince and said calmly: "Both of us have also traveled through time and space."
Now everything makes sense.
Li Nanke said.
But in a blink of an eye, I thought that this household registration was from more than thirty years ago, and I frowned.
Bai Buai's eyes were bright.
"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to do business first. When I find you both, I'll treat you to a good drink."
Grandma Meng's rough fingers gently rubbed the red rope, with a smile on her face, "No wait... No wait..."
The old man is used to this.
"You'll know after a while," Li Nanke said.
Could it be that Brother Bei is Bai Beiyan!?
Li Nanke's mind was in chaos.
The two hugged each other, enjoying this moment of warmth and tranquility.
Everything I had seen and heard from Grandma Meng... now was like pearls strung together by threads, worn around the neck of the truth, peeling away the fog.
If it were anyone else, his mentality would collapse.
The two words "wait" seem to have been integrated into her bones, into every blood vessel and every nerve fiber, and she has kept her past promises under the witness of time.
Li Nanke hugged the woman into his arms again and said with emotion: "Asking what love is in this world can teach you how to make love between life and death."
Meng Xiaotu murmured: "Now Bai Buai has gone to find that girl, do you think he can find her..."
When Li Nanke returned home, it was already dark.
As for the Peach Blossom Spring, it was left by an old Taoist priest decades ago and was accidentally opened.
"That's her."
After witnessing the tragedies of Shangguanguan and Bai Buai, he became increasingly afraid that one day the same tragedy would happen to him.
Li Nanke looked at Bai Buai quietly. After the other person calmed down a little, he asked the frightened official softly: "Has Xiaolei Village never changed?"
This also explains why Bai Ruyue was very surprised when she heard Shuangshuang say that there were many bandits nearby because of famine.
In a daze, the little girl who once carried the bamboo basket overlapped with her.
I was thinking that maybe her family had moved, so I came to ask, but this bastard couldn't find it. Do you think they would both marry into the courtyard... No, no, that won't happen."
Meng Xiaotu stammered, "Didn't you say she was the girl we met two years ago? My grandma is already over sixty years old. This is impossible, it should just be the same name..."
From the dishes, it can be seen that this time it is Mrs. Luo Qianqiu who is cooking, not the little cook Yu Hongye.
Instead of pursuing those illusory fame and fortune, it is better to spend your life with the one you love.
Don't wait until one day you suddenly look back and realize that what you have lost is irretrievable.
"Okay, why don't you say that everyone in Dazhen has traveled through time and space? Forget it, I won't bullshit you, I'll go find it myself!"
The officials quickly searched.
"It seems that the name Meng Shuangshuang is very common."
Bai Buai grabbed his hair, almost going crazy.
The woman was about to take off the man's coat, but the next second, the man hugged her.
The man's voice was very soft, but there was a firmness to it.
Li Nanke understood the man's mood and didn't care if the other person was angry with him, so he told the truth that he had deduced.
"You won't leave me."
"I want to take you far away, live in seclusion in a small mountain village, and live an ordinary life for the rest of your life."
Luo Qianqiu shook her head, "No, unless my husband drives me away."
And the red rope that has been kept forever.
Why is this happening?
She squeezed out a smile and turned to look at her grandma, but her blurry tearful eyes could not clearly see the expression on her face.
"What does the red rope represent? I can buy you a cartload of red rope right now!"
Meng Xiaotu did not dare to look at the cheeks of the grandmother next to her. She looked at the red clouds gradually shrinking in the sky. She bit her lip and said in a relaxed tone,
"He never believed in love, and he used to often brazenly say that there was no woman in the world worthy of his love.
After a long time, Li Nanke let go of his wife.
If there is another chance to travel through time and space, can it be changed?
But he didn't want to accept it.
Bai BuAi wanted to raise his fist to hit someone, but was stopped by Li Nanke.
Watching the carriage go further and further away, Li Nanke finally told the truth without any dialogue.
Outside the door, Yu Hongye, who happened to be walking by, heard these words and paused on the spot.
A man's heart is clogged with countless emotions.
The man roared, his nostrils widened due to his inner excitement, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"You won't be my Shuangshuang even after a hundred years!" Bai Buai turned around and said angrily, his cheeks and neck turned red, and his eyes were almost bloodshot as he stared at the other person.
Grandma Meng didn't speak, she just held the girl's hand, squinting her wrinkled eyes with a smile.
"It's Little Rabbit's grandma."
Bai Buai's eyes were suspicious, "Do you know something? Did you find Shuangshuang?"
Bai Buaihuo said angrily, "Others are idiots, are you too? We went back to Phoenix Mountain two years ago, two years ago, brother! Will you become an old man after two years?"
————
"Great cleverness, is this true?"
"She traveled to Phoenix Mountain forty years later, and we traveled to Phoenix Mountain two years ago, and then we met... Do you think I believe it?"
The petty officials were sweating profusely.
Li Nanke was silent for a long time and said: "I will tell you what I have experienced, and you tell grandma. If she doesn't respond, it means it's not her."
…………
Meng Xiaotu's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked.
The girl did not want to accept this truth.
"No...it's impossible."
Luo Qianqiu looked confused, "What's wrong, Mr. Xian?"
The official wiped the sweat from his head and hurriedly searched for it on the wooden frame.
Unless the illness dies.
"Wait, what do you mean?"
She was called Mistress by the other party.
From Yan Yunfang's mouth, the woman learned the whereabouts of her young apprentice Luo Qianqiu, so she looked for him.
Looking at the closed courtyard door, the woman hesitated in her heart.
Recalling what happened in Linggu in the past, the woman sighed softly, turned and left, her long hair floating in the night wind like a cloud that had no intention of staying.
