Now Qingyang has seen it, and he is much more casual, I am fortunate to lose my life, if I can get Yu Mengmiao, Qingyang will definitely cherish it, if he can't get it, he will feel regret in his heart at most, and he will not complain, let alone seek death and life.

Qingyang stood quietly in the crowd, and did not show any abnormality, and waited until the end of the meeting and the monks left, and then he followed the crowd out of the City Lord's Mansion.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Qingyang turned around Qingfu City for a day with a heavy heart, a huge Qingfu City, but he couldn't find a place to stay, no matter what he watched, he couldn't be interested, and finally Qingyang turned around and walked towards the outside of the city. Yu Mengmiao has found her home, and her last little concern in this world is gone, where can she go to the world?

Although he made up his mind in his heart, Qingyang always walked away, in the final analysis, he still couldn't let go, so after leaving the city, Qingyang did not sacrifice the wind to fly, but walked slowly along the road, as if stepping on the green heart.

In one day, Qingyang had only walked a hundred and ten miles away, when a white lake suddenly appeared in front of him. The lake is not big, only a dozen miles in a radius, the lake is white sand and pebbles, the whole lake is white, there is a dilapidated tea shed near the road near the lake, there are no guests at this time, only an old woman is bored sitting under the shed.

The old woman was full of white hair and wrinkles, Qingyang estimated that the other party was at least seventy years old, and it was rare for a mortal to live to this age. Seeing Qingyang, the old woman greeted: "Young man, are you tired of traveling?" Come over for a cup of tea? ”

Qingyang's actual age is older than this old woman, but he is an immortal cultivator, and he has always maintained the appearance of a young man, although he has experienced a series of blows during this time, making him haggard and old, but compared to this old woman, he is much younger. In the past two days, Qingyang has been preoccupied, and there is no destination for the time being, almost wherever he goes, and now seeing that the other party took the initiative to invite, he stopped, walked under the tea shed, and said, "Thank you, old woman." ”

The old woman let Qingyang to a shabby table, then turned around and took a large porcelain bowl, sprinkled some tea powder into it, and made boiling water, and then sat down on a chair next to Qingyang, looked at him and said: "I don't think you are like a scribe who travels to Qingyang, nor like a passing merchant in a hurry, nor like a farmer who is busy making a living. ”

Qingyang didn't want to talk about himself, so he said casually: "I just walked around casually and came here unintentionally, I don't know what kind of place this is?" ”

The old woman smiled and said, "This lake is called Baishou Lake. ”

Baishou Lake? Could it be the meaning of growing old together? Seeing that the entire lake was white, it was also an image to call this name, Qingyang casually asked: "Why is it called Baishou Lake?" ”

The old woman said: "Speaking of this, there is a story, I wonder if the guests want to hear it?" ”

"I want to hear about it." Qingyang Dao, it's nothing anyway, and it doesn't hurt to listen to it.

The old woman recalled, and then said slowly: "Many years ago, there was a village by the lake, although there were few families, but they also lived quietly and peacefully, there was a pair of young men and women in the village, it can be described as childhood sweethearts, and the two had no guesses. Later, the two grew up and reached the age of talking about marriage, but the man couldn't afford to give the woman's bride price, so the man went to a rich family to do a long job, and asked the woman to wait for him for a few years, saying that he would come back to marry the woman when he had saved enough money. ”

"What happened?" Qingyang asked, he has lived in the mundane world since he was a child, and he also understands the suffering of the world, and he has heard a lot of such things, and there are all kinds of endings.

The old woman said: "The woman took this seriously, and waited for the man to come back and marry her, no matter how much her parents coerced and lured, they couldn't change her mind, and the result was ten years." Ten years later, the man sent back the news, saying that he was about to save enough money, but who knew that he accidentally broke the valuables of the main family, and he had no money to repay, so he had to sell himself to pay off his debts. ”

Qingyang listened quietly and did not speak, and the old woman continued: "The woman has no other way but to secretly sigh that her life is miserable, and continue to wait for the man by the lake, and wait for him to come back to marry her after paying off his debts, and this wait is another ten years." As a result, the man did not come back, but only brought the news, saying that he was forced by the master's family, and in desperation, he joined the other party, and even the children were several years old. ”

Forced into a rich family? And this kind of good thing? This is purely an excuse for his shameless behavior, Qingyang said: "The woman also believes this? ”

The old woman didn't seem to hear Qingyang's words, and said to herself: "Although the woman is sad, he firmly believes that the man is forced to be helpless, so he continues to wait for him by the lake." After another ten years, the man's news came again, saying that the rich man had died, and now he had taken over the other party's family wealth, although he was forced to be helpless, but there were only orphans and widows left, and he couldn't just leave, and he couldn't let go of that mess, so he had to continue to stay there. ”

Hearing this, Qingyang was too lazy to complain, and quietly listened to the old woman continue: "In the blink of an eye, it was another ten years, forty years have passed, the man's wife finally passed away, and the family business was also passed into the hands of his son, the man finally let go of everything, and returned to the lake with white hair to fulfill his promise, but unfortunately his time was short, and he only lived with the woman for three days before he died, for a few years, this lake was later changed to Baishou Lake." ”

The woman waited for the man for forty years, but only got three days of getting along, and these three days may just be the man's conscience before his death, to give the woman a comfort, or to make up for his guilt, Qingyang said: "Didn't the woman think about it, this may just be the other party's lie, there is nothing to sell himself to pay off the debt, it's just that the man is greedy for wealth and wealth, and he has become a rich family, is all the words lying to the woman?" ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "No, that woman never regrets it, because she always believes that the man likes him, and everything he does is forced to do it, even if the man is really lying to her, it is for her good, otherwise why would she wait for forty years?" ”

Qingyang didn't argue with the old woman, and said casually: "I didn't expect that there is such an infatuated woman in the world, it's really admirable, but that woman's forty years of waiting, in the end, was only exchanged for three days with her beloved, isn't this too short?" ”
