The stars hang flat and the wilderness is wide, and the moon rushes and the river flows.?

I stood at the bow of the boat holding the fence, and felt the gust of river wind sweeping the cold blade across my cheeks. This was the scene in front of me.

The ship has been sailing for many days. Although it was traveling day and night, it was obvious that the fleet we were chasing had not relaxed, so we never caught up with them. As we were about to reach the estuary, the rolling mountains and fields on both sides were gradually swallowed up by the surging river waters, and even the dazzling stars at the end of the sky seemed to be about to merge into the boundless waters.

Even such a beautiful scenery cannot relax me at all, because my son is still gone.

Thinking of this, I was angry and gritted my teeth. Sometimes, I even thought fiercely that if I found her this time, I would definitely break her legs!

But--

While thinking about it fiercely, another person's calm, even a little cold and gentle smile flashed through his mind. His eyes were clear and bright, as if he had accommodated thousands of stars.

He operated his wheelchair and slowly walked out of countless pictures of the wind blowing on the Red Beauty Tower, from the ashes of my dusty memory, and said with a smile: Sister, you promised that you will always be by my side.

...

At this time, a cautious voice came from behind: "Madam, it's already late at night, please go back to your room to rest."

I turned around and saw a servant standing behind me.

It's the person around Yao Lao.

During the days after boarding the boat, I almost never met Yao Lao again, although everyone was within a distance of only a hundred feet.

When he got on the boat, he stood on the bow of the boat. He must have heard all the words I said to Pei Yuanxiu. Perhaps as Yao Lao, he loved me, but as Pei Yuanxiu's father and my father-in-law, he might not be able to face my "unfather-in-law" daughter-in-law without any grudges.

So, I don’t make things difficult for him or myself. These days, everyone has avoided meeting directly intentionally or unintentionally.

However, some people are unavoidable.

Another servant's respectful voice came from the side: "Miss Zitong, it's late at night, please go back to your room to rest."

I turned around and happened to meet her look at me.

Both of them were stunned for a moment.

Nothing to say for a moment.

I still remember that after boarding the ship that day, seeing the ship getting up and sailing, Han Ruoshi suddenly said a few words to her, and a look of astonishment appeared on Han Zitong's face. She seemed to hesitate for a moment, but did not say anything more, but immediately followed her on the ship.

Of course I was surprised, but not too surprised.

Just looking at the dock, Han Ruoshi slowly walked to Pei Yuanxiu, as if she wanted to comfort him, but Pei Yuanxiu only looked up at us standing on the boat from beginning to end, and her eyes seemed very confused.

Just like at this moment, Han Zitong looked at me.

Many times, people always think that they are omnipotent, but when they really face huge obstacles or even disasters, they will realize their insignificance and powerlessness. What's more, what we are facing at this moment is that the river flow that is completely unpredictable and cannot see the end at all. After it merges into the sea, our future will become even more slim.

Han Zitong and I looked at each other at this moment, as if we also saw our helplessness towards this journey.

I was silent for a moment and said softly: "Go to rest early."

After saying that, without waiting for her to say anything, I turned around and walked into the cabin. When I walked into the cabin door, I couldn't help but look back.

At this moment, the earth shrouded by the sky was completely dark, leaving only a bright moon in the sky, reflected in the river. With the gurgling river water, the moon shadow was hazy, as if it was about to pass by, flowing to the other end of the earth and the end of the vast ocean.

Under such moonlight, Han Zitong's originally slender figure looks more delicate and slim.

It is also more small and helpless.

She suddenly spoke, "Do you have any plans?"

My eyebrows frowned slightly.

Under the moonlight, her body was shaking slightly by the wind, and even her voice seemed to tremble: "We are going to sea tomorrow, right?"

“…”

"Do you have any plans?"

“…”

The wind seemed to be a little bit colder.

After our ship sailed out of Jinling, we kept moving forward, but obviously Liu Qinghan and the others did not slow down. They saw that according to the route and progress of our journey, we would go to sea tomorrow, and we had not caught up with their ship.

Tomorrow, once we leave the sea and without the course, we will completely become headless flies.

So she asked me what plans were.

Although she is just standing there quietly looking at me now, I understand that she is quite uneasy. Although she is the Princess of Jiangxia, although she is irritable and impulsive, after all, she is just a princess, a girl who has always been spoiled and spoiled others. She will inevitably have emotional collapse when she suddenly wants her to face such a dangerous journey.

I thought about it and said in a gentle tone: "You go to bed early tonight."

“…”

"I will arrange things tomorrow."

After saying that, without waiting for her to ask, I nodded to her gently, and turned my head and walked into the cabin.

After entering the room, two maids came in to light the lights and make the bed. I sat at the table by the window. When they were finished and were about to leave, I said, "No one should come in tonight and disturb me again. Tomorrow morning, unless I walk out of this room myself, don't let anyone enter my room."

They were startled, looked at each other and said softly: "What are the madam doing? What do you need your servants to do?"

"Don't ask more."

“…”

"What you have to do is just look at my room."

“…”

"Remember, don't let anyone in before I go out. Do you understand?"

"yes."

They listened to my tone and understood that this was not an ordinary order. They bent over and bowed, then gently retreated, and then closed the door.

Immediately, all the sounds outside were isolated.

I opened the wooden cabinet, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from it, and carefully spread it on the table, but did not immediately put the pen down. Instead, I walked back to the edge of the bed, took off my shoes, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Lotus sitting cross-legged.

This is the supreme method of Buddhists practicing meditation. My second uncle, Master Zhengjue, sat cross-legged in this posture and entered a state of meditation. However, if I have not reached the state of practice, it is naturally impossible to enter a state of meditation. However, such posture can help me close my five consciousnesses and enter the deepest part of my spiritual realm.

I sat there quietly, calming my heartbeat and slowing my breathing.

Slowly, I felt that the breath around me was a little different. The surging river water under the hull seemed to have obliterated my ankles at this moment. Every stream of water flowed through my side, touching my skin lightly, accompanied by my breathing, one after another, one move and one still, all so clearly.

Then, the water flow seemed to guide me towards another time and space.

I slowly opened my eyes.

The river water was flowing gurgling, like a gentle hand, gently pushing behind me. I took a step slowly with the flow of water, and immediately saw a ray of sunshine shining brightly on the river water, reflecting rippling waves, forming a brilliant galaxy in front of me.

For a moment, my vision became a little dazed, as if I saw an open small courtyard with rugged rockery standing in the pool in the middle of the yard, and a few orange carp swimming around in the water.

Opposite the pool is a very elegant house with doors and windows hidden, and a faint incense wafts out from it.

This scenery is very familiar.

I almost immediately understood that this is where I was looking for.

The backyard of Tiejia Money House.

The river water pushed my steps continuously. I walked over step by step, reached out and pushed open the empty door. I immediately saw an open brocade box on the round table in the center of the room. The brocade box was empty, and a small thing was placed on the table next to it.

It is a transparent soft handkerchief, something wrapped.

That is, the jade plaque wrapped in death.

I was delighted and was about to raise my hand to pick it up, but suddenly I felt a heavy hand and feet, almost unable to lift it up. I hurriedly concentrated my mind and stayed quietly for a while. Finally, I felt some strength in my hand, so I reached out, picked up the jade token, carefully placed it in my palm, and began to dismantle the layers of soft handwritten.

Finally, I finally took it apart.

The jade plaque fell heavily in my hands, and the huge word "公" on my face came into my eyes.

However, there was no joy in my heart. The shock when I first saw this jade tablet also calmed down at this moment. I held my breath and slowly moved my gaze to the other side, the soft and soft handkerchief that I unconsciously discarded on the table.

The lines above...

No! I can't see clearly!

Once I realized this, I immediately felt the river water around my body surging, almost pushing me away from the table, and shaking everything around me.

No, I must calm down!

Thinking of this, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes again.

My vision was still blurred, but I returned to the moment when I was holding the heavy jade plaque in my hand and carefully dismantled the soft handkerchief.

When I lifted the upper corner of the soft handkerchief, there was a thin curve above, which, although intermittently, was inserted obliquely from the upper left corner.

When I lifted the left corner of the soft pars, it was almost blank, but in the center, a short curve appeared, which gathered with the curve in the upper left corner.

Also, when I lifted the lower corner of the soft pars—

There are several intermittent points in the lower left corner, as if connected to a line, and at the end of the line is—
Chapter completed!
