Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

No matter how many sad things happen in the world, the morning still comes as usual.

The people of the Yushan tribe waited anxiously all night, but what they expected back was the news of the death of the patriarch.

The civil strife that happened on the banks of the Ganyi River last night was concealed by the parties involved, and the rebellion of Feng Tingjian and Yue Baiyu, as well as the truth about Fuyao Qingfeng, were not told to the clansmen.

The people waiting in Lingquan Valley just received bad news. An envoy from the Demon Cult disguised himself as a boatman sneaked into the valley to steal. The patriarch unfortunately sacrificed his life to stop him. Bai Yu was also seriously injured in the battle and fell into a coma.

Ren Lan announced the news in public. Apart from the patriarch, she is the most prestigious person in the Yushan clan. She is not willing to lie, but this time she took the responsibility of fabricating the lie.

She is no longer the rigid and inflexible little girl she used to be. She is mature enough to bear the weight of lies on her shoulders.

Fortunately, there was An Qiming in the clan to help her out. The two teamed up to investigate the boatman's whereabouts, and deduced some clues based on the clues provided by the clan.

The real boatman was killed about two years ago. The demon cult envoy disguised himself into his appearance, secretly replaced his identity, and lurked in Yushan without anyone noticing, bewitching Yue Baiyu, colluding with the patriarch, and refining Fuyao Qingfeng. continuously sent to the outside world.

The two also investigated the reason why the dark dam was destroyed that day, but failed to find the answer.The only thing that is certain is that the patriarch's plan is indeed complete. If the hidden dam hadn't been destroyed, causing a sudden flood and blocking the way, he would have left Lingquan Valley with Baiyu and joined the Demon Cult.

Could it be that this sudden accident was really the will of the gods.

The two also made a decision - to secretly fill up the secret room buried by the collapsed idol under the altar.Since An Qiming had just recovered from a serious injury and had limited mobility, most of the physical work was done by Ren Lan. The two of them worked all night until before dawn.

Although the secret room was filled up, the foundation of the statue was completely destroyed. Ren Lan looked at the Nine Heavens Xuannv who was dumped on the altar, and said: "Tomorrow, I will send someone to transport the stone statue away, and take the gravel to pave the road."

An Qiming looked at her, raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you going to repair this altar?"

Ren Lan nodded: "I don't think so, don't you also advocate the same?"

An Qiming said: "I just didn't expect that even you were planning to give up your belief. Do you still have Master's affairs in your heart, and do you still have unresolved knots in your heart?"

"No," Ren Lan shook her head and said, "Although what happened to Master is regrettable, the gods are still in my heart, but..." She was silent for a moment before saying, "It's just that I think it's meaningless to worship a cold statue. The gods It is true that they are indifferent to the world, but there are still medicinal herbs growing in the depths of this valley, the springs do not dry up, and the grass and trees do not dry up, aren't they the grace of the gods?"

As if responding to her words, the sound of Lingquan resounded through the valley, and the waterfall hung high in the mountains, like silver silk pouring down the ground, sparkling before dawn.

The magnificent and beautiful mountains and rivers stretch at their feet, and the millennium is like a day.

Ren Lan continued: "Although we have suffered setbacks, this valley is still there, and our Yushan clan spirit is still there. It has not declined, nor has it been abandoned. If there are gods in the world, they are not in the stone statues, but in our hearts. "

After finishing speaking, she noticed that An Qiming was looking at her with surprise: "Alan, you really have changed."

She suddenly felt a little flustered: "... Where have I changed?"

"It has become better," An Qiming said with a smile on his face. "If you said what you said just now in front of the clansmen, it would definitely boost morale and inspire people. I think you might as well write it down and wait until you become the clan leader." , say it again."

Ren Lan couldn't help looking away: "Who said I'm going to be the patriarch?"

An Qiming said: "You have taken over the position of master and worked hard for the clan members every day. Everyone can see these things. Your succession to the position of clan leader is an arrangement that everyone has tacitly agreed to."

"I'm not ready yet..." Ren Lan lowered her gaze, then quickly raised her head to look at the people around her, "Besides, my eloquence is not as good as yours, so let you speak the truth."

An Qiming said with a smile, "I don't know how to speak the truth either."

Ren Lan's face turned even redder: "No, no, you can't embarrass me alone. You have to say something, that's only fair."

"Okay," An Qiming said with a shrug, "then have you heard this sentence - the world will not be destroyed, and separation and separation will be permanent."

"What does it mean?"

"It means that as long as the sky hasn't collapsed and the earth hasn't fallen, people will meet again one day, just like you and me at this moment."

Ren Lan was startled for a moment, then blushed: "I won't talk to you anymore, you are really not serious." After saying that, she turned around and left.

"Hey, don't go, don't go, I haven't finished my serious talk, you wait—" An Qiming hurriedly chased after him, halfway through the chase, he suddenly clutched his chest, and bent down wailing.

Ren Lan had already stepped out of the altar, and when she heard the screams behind her, she immediately turned around and quickly walked back to An Qiming's side, holding his shoulders: "Are you okay? Did you hurt the wound?"

An Qiming raised his head, looked at the other party's close gaze, raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Why are you back again? Didn't you stop talking to me?"

"You...you lied to me!" Ren Lan stomped her feet in anger, turned around and wanted to leave again.

The hand was caught by the person behind, and with five fingers across it, there was something cool in the palm of the hand.

"Hey, what is this?" She spread her fingers in surprise, and saw a porcelain hairpin lying on the palm of her hand.The blue pattern is dotted with a little gold powder, and the tail is shaped like an orchid, slightly raised, very delicate and elegant.

Seeing her confused face, An Qiming explained: "Didn't I sneak out of the valley a few times to investigate before? I bought this in Wutong Town."

Ren Lan blinked, and the suspicion in her eyes remained undiminished: "But this is a hairpin for women. Your hair has been scuffed up like this by the fire, and you won't be able to wear it for a while. Why buy it?"

An Qiming's mouth opened into a circle: "You really don't understand?"

"not understand."

"Of course this is a gift for you."

"Give it to me?" It was Ren Lan's turn to open her mouth this time.

"Yeah, but I never had the chance to give it to you." An Qiming looked at her, his eyes seemed to flicker, "Uh... I specially picked the pattern of orchids, do you like it?"

Ren Lan nodded: "It looks good, but I didn't expect it..."

"There are many things you didn't expect. Since you were a child, you have been running in front of me, allowing me to chase you from behind, remembering you, and you didn't even notice it."

"I..." Ren Lan was speechless, "Why didn't you tell me directly?"

An Qiming's face was also a little red: "It's not because I'm too useless, I often look like a fool in front of you, and feel that I'm not good enough for you."

Ren Lan was dumbstruck, staring at him blankly.

An Qiming took a deep breath, took a big step forward, came to her, and held her hand carefully: "But now, after going through so many separations and separations, if I keep holding back, I will be the real one." Fool. I like you, and I want to stay by your side forever, to make you happy, and to share your worries."

Ren Lan's shoulders were stiff for a long time, and finally relaxed slowly: "You are really a fool, don't you know that I envy you too, I envy you for having so many friends, others trust you and rely on you. If you don't have You, how can I survive..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, and she finally choked up at this point, with tears in her eyes.

An Qiming opened his arms, gently took her into his arms, and patted her shoulders with warm palms.

"You have worked hard these days."

Following these words, her tears finally burst, dripped down her cheeks, and landed on An Qiming's shoulders.The sadness that has been suppressed in my heart these days has also melted into a warm embrace along with tears.

The two hugged each other quietly for a while, Ren Lan's emotions calmed down, she let out a shameful chuckle, and said in An Qiming's ear: "Your habits have not changed, I was injured in martial arts when I was young, and I was wronged so much Cry, that's how you comfort me."

"Yes," An Qiming looked at the sky in the distance, "but at that time, your breasts were not so bulging, and your waist was not so soft..."

"You...you shut up!"

"Obey, future patriarch." An Qiming said, hugging the person in his arms even tighter.
