The 178th Chapter of the Fantasy Magical Beast Taming Bus Zijin

"Your green collar, my heart is always with you. Even if I don't go, why don't you send me a message?

Your green jade pendant makes me think of you. Even if I don't go, why don't you come?

I am standing at the city gate. One day without you feels like three months.

The clear voice of a child is like the song of an oriole. On the hillside in the early morning, a little girl with two pigtails on her head and dressed in blue is reciting the poem "Zi Jin" under a huge purple mulberry tree in the morning light. The little girl looks about six or seven years old. She is very beautiful, with a face like a lotus, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like almond kernels. Her nose is high and her mouth is small, with cherry teeth and lips like pearls. She is neither thin nor thick, and her deep dimples are very cute when she smiles. From the age of three to old age, this child will definitely be a stunning beauty.

"This poem, Zi Jin, is about a woman waiting for her lover on the city wall. I wonder why your mother always asks you to recite this poem?" A little boy in a white shirt was lying on a thick branch of the purple mulberry tree, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, and said casually. The little boy was about seven years old, with delicate eyebrows, red lips, white teeth, round face, high nose bridge, and handsome appearance. His big eyes sparkled with brown luster, and when he smiled, there were two dimples on his lips.

The little girl turned to look at the handsome boy and shouted happily, "Brother Shi Yan, you are looking at the sun here again."

Shi Yan glanced at her secretly, his cheeks slightly reddened, and he turned his head away embarrassedly, humming a perfunctory word as a way of saying yes.

The little girl looked up at the sky in surprise, tilting her head in confusion, "But, Brother Shi Yan, when you lie on the branches like this, the sun is blocked by the leaves. I don't know how Brother Shi Yan sees the sun."

Shi Yan was suddenly upset, touching his nose helplessly, and sat up and said awkwardly, "Recite your poem, or be careful or Aunt Shuangying will come and spank you."

"Ah!" The little girl seemed to feel the danger on her buttocks. She quickly covered her buttocks with her hands, turned around, looked up at the sun, and recited carefully and seriously: "Your green collar, my heart is filled with longing..." Suddenly, she stopped reciting, turned her head and asked Shi Yan: "By the way! Brother Shi Yan, do you know the meaning of this poem?"

"Ha!" Shi Yan raised his chin, crossed his arms, and said proudly, "Of course I know."

"Wow, Brother Shiyan is so smart. No wonder everyone likes Brother Shiyan so much. Zijin's mother is not as good to Zijin as Brother Shiyan." Xiang Zijin looked at Shiyan with her big watery eyes. Her white and tender hands pulled the corner of Shiyan's clothes and said coquettishly, "Then... Brother Shiyan, can you explain this poem to Zijin?"

"Okay, okay." Unable to resist Zi Jin's "beauty trap", Shi Yan could only nod, "Of course." After that, he jumped down the tree, held Xiang Zijin's small waist, and amid Zi Jin's screams, he lightly kicked his feet, and the whole person floated up like a feather, and gently landed on the branch of the purple mulberry tree. Shi Yan spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth with a "pfft", and then gently helped Xiang Zijin sit down.

Xiang Zijin was frightened by the sudden feeling of falling. Her little hands nervously grasped Shi Yan's sleeves, and her whole body trembled as she huddled in Shi Yan's arms.

"This poem "Zi Jin" tells the story of a woman waiting for her lover on the city wall. Due to family reasons, the woman was prevented from going to the appointment, so she had to wait for her lover to come and meet her. However, she looked forward to it, but she could not see the figure of the person she had been missing. The deep love in her heart could not help but turn into melancholy and resentment. She thought, just because I didn't go to find you, you won't come to see me? Why can't you send me a message? Even if I didn't go to find you, why can't you take the initiative to come? She was upset on the city wall because she had been waiting for her lover for a long time. She walked back and forth non-stop, feeling that although it was only one day without seeing each other, it seemed as long as three seasons." Shi Yan hugged Xiang Zijin, gently patted Zijin's back with his right hand, and said faintly: "The poem "Zi Jin" describes the feeling of longing to meet the person you love, and expresses the deepest longing."

Under Shi Yan's comfort, Xiang Zijin gradually calmed down from the shock she had just felt. She poked her little head out of his arms, her eyes flickering, "Well, my name is Zijin, does that mean I also miss someone very much?"

"Maybe. When Zijin falls in love with someone, you will find that not seeing him/her for one day is like going through three difficult autumns."

Xiang Zijin blinked and nodded as if he understood. "Just like when Zijin couldn't see Brother Shiyan, he missed him so much that he felt time was passing very slowly."

Hearing this, Shi Yan couldn't help but smile. He gave Zi Jin a kiss on the forehead and said lovingly, "Brother Shi Yan is the same. If I can't see Zi Jin for a day, I will miss you very much."

At this time, the rising sun cast a ray of warm sunlight, falling on the two of them, making them look like they were radiating golden light all over their bodies. The picture was so warm and happy.

There was heavy snow falling from the sky above the towering mountains. The sky was grey, dark and hazy. The hazy and dim sky seemed like the sky was collapsing, making it hard to breathe.

The heavy snow dyed everything white, a blinding white. There was no color at all, and the white was chilling.

Shi Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dim sky. The cold wind whistled in his ears, like the crying of a wild ghost.

Ghost crying? They say that ghosts' crying is actually laughter, so why are ghosts crying? Is it welcoming me?

Shi Yan felt powerless all over, his breath was weak, and his body seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock. He couldn't move at all. Even lifting a finger was difficult for him.

It was cold, bone-chillingly cold, but this coldness made Shi Yan feel happy. "Huh... I am conscious! I feel cold..." He wanted to shout out loud, but no sound came out when the words came to his lips.

Surrounded by indifferent tribesmen dressed in white, like they were announcing a death, Shi Yan felt a little uneasy and couldn't help wondering, "Where are they taking me?" Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and smiled bitterly, "Is the family going to abandon me?" Do you know what despair is? In the endless snow, you can't see the end of the world, the difference between light and darkness, or your own existence. You feel lonely, lonely, and boundless, exaggerating a kind of sadness that makes people cry.

A heart-wrenching cry floated into my ears from afar. The cry became louder and louder, and closer and closer. Even the howling cold wind could not cover it up.

He opened his eyelids with difficulty and looked at the source of the crying. At the foot of the mountain, a beautiful little girl in blue clothes, with red and swollen eyes, cried and shouted as she staggered up the mountain, crying non-stop, which was so distressing. Her thin body swayed like a reed in the biting cold wind. The girl stumbled to the mountain guard, raised her tearful face and begged, she was so hopeful, so humble. "Zi Jin...", Shi Yan couldn't help but a tear in the corner of his eye, "My concern..."

"Go away!" The mountain guard impatiently pushed the girl away who was begging desperately. Her petite body fell into the snow, "Brother Shi Yan..." She ignored the coldness of the snow, propped up her scarred body and crawled, trying to climb up the mountain. "Brother Shi Yan, Brother Shi Yan, please don't go!" The girl's hot tears poured down like a dam bursting, and her sad cries echoed in the mountains, "Please, don't let Brother Shi Yan go, mother, go and beg Grandpa Shi, don't let Brother Shi Yan go. Sister Shi Xin, please go and beg Grandpa Shi... Okay... Brother Shi Yan..." The girl fell down in the snow in despair, like a broken doll, except for the tears that could not be stopped, it seemed that even her soul had passed away...

His heart ached like a knife, Shi Yan sobbed and cried silently with the poor man, his tears rolled to the ground, melted into the snow, and turned into ice...

The tribesmen turned a corner, blocking Shi Yan's sight. No matter how hard he looked, he could no longer see Xiang Zijin's lovable and lingering figure. All he could see was the heavy snow and the sadness in her eyes.

At this moment, the world suddenly became silent, without a single sound.

The snow fell silently, slowly, gently, and flutteringly. It looked like a rootless reed, as ethereal as a tree. Perhaps that's why it looked so desolate and sad?!

Wandering rootless and living alone, there is only one season of splendor, but in return it is a lifetime of loneliness.

"Does this... portend something?"

"Shi Yan! Shi Yan, what's wrong with you?" Shi Xin looked at Shi Yan's tear-stained face nervously, and held his face worriedly. She saw tears continuously pouring out of his eyes, and he felt indescribably sad.

Seeing his sad expression, Shi Xin knew that he was missing Xiang Zijin in Tianmen Domain. Shi Xin sighed. Xiang Zijin was Shi Yan's childhood sweetheart. They grew up together and had a deep relationship. They could even be called a perfect couple. Everyone was guessing that when they grew up, they might become an enviable couple of gods and immortals, and live freely in the nine heavens.

Of course, this would have been the case if what happened later had not happened.

Unfortunately, fate plays tricks on people...

Shi Xin hugged Shi Yan distressedly, and couldn't help sighing. At the same time, she thought of the news about Tianmen Domain and didn't know whether to tell Shi Yan... She was afraid that he wouldn't be able to bear it...

Although Shi Yan seems to be very strong on the outside, he is actually very soft on the inside. He is like a Cancer with a hard shell. To outsiders, he is strong, but who knows that he has a helpless and fragile heart?

Shi Xin hugged Shi Yan and said, "I hope you won't be too sad after you know about that..."
