After hearing Binghuo Xiaodao's explanation, Qu Danfeng felt that his face became hotter and redder, and it seemed that his whole body was also heating up.
"So you're not honest either." No need to worry, Qu Danfeng was in a good mood and joked about the Ice and Fire knife.
"I'm telling the truth, and I'm also telling you that you are beautiful now!" Binghuo Xiaodao said seriously.
"How do you know I'm beautiful if you don't look carefully?" Qu Danfeng followed the words of Binghuo Xiaodao and seemed to be looking forward to it.
"Do I still need to read it?" Binghuo Xiaodao asked back.
"You really don't have to look, as long as it's within your sight, you can see it clearly. It's completely incredible!" Qu Danfeng was very happy to receive the praise from Binghuo Xiaodao, "Xiaodao, thank you! You have to repay the debt for this snake-flavored wine.
, that woman (She Ji) either likes you or wants something from you."
"No need to thank you." Binghuo Xiaodao said sincerely, "When you write about me or our police, I hope you will be merciful. It is not easy for us as police officers, and it is also a respectable profession. Don't be embarrassed because of me personally.
It damages the image of the police."
"Xiao Dao, this is the second time I've heard this from you. In fact, you have a good image and you really add points to the police. Really!" Qu Danfeng paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and asked, "Xiao Dao, I and I
Xiaoxi, which one is more beautiful?"
"Everyone's aesthetics is different, and the answer will be different." Binghuo Xiaodao did not answer directly.
"I want to know the answer in your eyes." Qu Danfeng was aggressive, approaching the defense line of Binghuo Xiaodao.
"She is beautiful!" Binghuo Xiaodao answered directly, "In my heart, she is the most beautiful person, because she is my beloved woman!"
After saying that, Binghuo Xiaodao seemed to regret that he should not be so direct, but Binghuo Xiaodao believed that he was not wrong. No matter whether Nalanxi was the most beautiful or not, he would always be the most beautiful in his heart.
Listening to Binghuo Xiaodao's answer, Qu Danfeng was not angry, but a little disappointed. Then he understood Binghuo Xiaodao's love for Nalan Xi and felt relieved.
…………
Finally, Xikou Village finally arrived.
Xikou Village is much larger and richer than Binghuo Xiaodao and Qu Danfeng imagined. It rarely looks like this.
After inquiring, everyone knew about Nalan Xi and pointed the Binghuo knife in the direction of the Nalan tribe.
Binghuo Xiaodao stood in front of the archway, looking at the rows of old wooden houses. Only the four words "Nalan Family" on the archway were new. They should have been replaced in recent years. This is the ancestral home of Nalan Xi's mother.
With an uneasy mood, Binghuo Xiaodao walked into the archway and walked towards the old wooden houses. Qu Danfeng slowly followed behind him and kept taking pictures. There was some cultural heritage here. How could he not take pictures?
When they were approaching the group of old wooden houses, many people came out one after another and looked at Binghuo Xiaodao and Qu Danfeng, but most of them were old people and children. One of them, a young man, came over.
"Brother, are you outsiders?" the young man asked politely but with caution.
"Yes." Binghuo Xiaodao asked politely, "Little brother, I'm here to see Nalan Xi."
"Why are you looking for sister Xiaoxi?" the young man asked warily.
"I am his boyfriend, can you tell me where she is?" Binghuo Xiaodao suddenly had a bad premonition and asked patiently.
"Are you sister Xiaoxi's boyfriend? Why haven't I heard her say that?" the young man asked suspiciously.
Hearing this, Binghuo Xiaodao took out his mobile phone and pulled up photos of himself and Nalan Xi to prove it.
"It turns out that you are really sister Xiaoxi's boyfriend." The young man said sadly, "My name is Nalanmu, and I am sister Xiaoxi's clan brother. You came late, but even if you came early, you can't change anything."
"My name is Xiaodao." Binghuo Xiaodao asked anxiously, "Nalanmu, what's wrong with Xiaoxi? What happened?"
"Brother Xiaodao, come with me!" Nalanmu said, walking towards the old wooden houses.
Pass through the old wooden houses and enter the back mountain, which is the ancestral hall and ancestral tomb of the Nalan family.
Outside the ancestral grave of the Nalan family, there was a tombstone at the foot of the mountain. Although he did not know the name of Nalan Xi's mother, Binghuo Xiaodao saw Nalan Mu leading him over. The grave in front of him should be Nalan Xi's mother's grave.
"This is grandma's tombstone. Because grandma is a girl from our Nalan family, and for some reasons that we juniors don't know, she can only be buried here." Nalan Mu explained softly.
After listening to Nalan Mu's explanation, Binghuo Xiaodao determined that this was the burial place of his mother-in-law. Seeing the incense beside the tombstone, he picked it up and lit it. He worshiped three times devoutly, and then looked at Nalan next to him.
Wood.
Seeing Binghuo Xiaodao's gaze, Nalanmu naturally understood what Binghuo Xiaodao meant. He pointed to a small cave next to him and told Binghuo Xiaodao that Nalan Xi was inside.
Looking at Nalan Mu's direction, Binghuo Xiaodao ran straight over. When he reached the entrance of the cave, he stopped suddenly, straightened his clothes, and walked in gently.
The cave is neither big nor deep, but Binghuo Xiaodao feels like he has walked a long way, and he feels filled with inexplicable expectations and fears.
As the footsteps deepened, Binghuo Xiaodao heard the sound of wooden fish and the sound of chanting Buddha's name.
Finally, I finally saw Nalan Xi, and Binghuo Xiaodao's heart ached so much: Nalan Xi's back was no longer youthful and energetic, just like an old woman who was knocking wooden fish with one hand and chanting Buddhist beads with the other...
...
It was already a heartbreaking and sad scene. Binghuo Xiaodao discovered that Nalanxi's once beautiful hair was missing, but it was not shaved, but had fallen off, and pus and blood were still flowing from his head.
"Xiao Xi!" Binghuo Xiaodao shouted softly.
Although the sound of the ice and fire knife was soft, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue to Nalan Xi who was knocking the wooden fish. His back was shaken, his hands and mouth were still at the same time, and the cave suddenly became very quiet. After the silence, it became depressing.
The Ice and Fire Knife started walking again, slowly approaching Nalan Xi, making a low rustling sound under its footsteps.
Hearing the low rustling footsteps, Nalan Xi held the prayer beads in his hand tighter and tighter. His already bloodless hands became even paler, and the beads suddenly broke.
"Don't come over." Nalan Xi's voice came out, "I am not the person you are looking for."
No matter how hoarse Nalan Xi's voice is, Binghuo Xiaodao can still hear her strength. This is her true character!
Amid Nalan Xi's voice, Binghuo Xiaodao did not stop, but walked more firmly, walking towards his beloved goddess - Nalan Xi without hesitation.
