Chapter 69 Now, can we be considered to have grown old together?
The weather is gradually turning into winter.
Xiaoqing also knew that her sister had decided to go to Jiang to get the Dragon Thunder Liquid for Brother Xiao.
Xiaoqing naturally supported her sister's decision.
And Xiaoqing must be reluctant to see Brother Xiao leave like this.
After such a long time, Xiaoqing has long regarded Xiao Mo as her own family member.
But walking on the river is not an easy task.
If you are not careful, you may very likely lose your body and soul.
So during this period of time, Bai Ruxue has been practicing hard and making various preparations for traveling along the river.
Xiao Mo will also give lessons to Bai Ruxue and Xiaoqing, explaining the dangerous parts of this journey and some of the things they may encounter along the way.
This also includes how to deal with things like the "Dragon-Slaying Sword" and the "Dragon-Binding Chain".
It’s not that Xiao Mo doesn’t want to take down things like the “Dragon Slaying Sword”.
But Xiao Mo couldn't do it.
Things like the "Dragon-Slaying Sword" and the "Dragon-Binding Chain" were set up by the Qi State's Heavenly Supervisor and cannot be removed by ordinary people.
The Tianjiansi was independent of the Qi bureaucracy.
Although Xiao Mo was the prime minister, he had no way to give orders to the Tianjiansi.
Besides, if you want the Heavenly Supervisor to take away the Dragon Slaying Sword and the Dragon Binding Chain, you must have a reason.
But what excuse can I find?
I can't just say, "My fiancée is from the snake clan, she wants to escape Jiang Hualong, please help me."
Although it is true that Xiao Mo holds the highest position in the government, he also has many enemies in the court.
If that were the case, Xiao Mo would probably be impeached by all the officials the next day.
However, Xiao Mo was not completely unprepared.
In Xiao Mo's opinion, the preparations he had made over the past forty years should be enough.
As time goes by.
Xiao Mo's health is getting worse and worse.
As soon as winter came, Xiao Mo started coughing.
Looking at Xiao Mo's pale face, Bai Ruxue became more and more anxious, and she wished she could go through the tribulation the next day.
However, the day for overcoming the tribulation must be chosen carefully; not just any day will do.
This requires deduction based on the birth date and eight characters.
Fortunately, not long ago, Xiao Mo asked Elder Fu Chen to calculate an auspicious day.
For Bai Ruxue, the best day to walk on the river is March 3rd next year.
It just so happened that the road Xiao Mo chose would see the ice and snow begin to melt in early February, and by early March, it would be spring when all things would come back to life.
As time passed, soon it was the end of January after the Chinese New Year.
Xiaoqing went to the mountains to hibernate, but Bai Rushue no longer needs to hibernate.
Only Xiao Mo and she were left in the courtyard.
At this time, there was only one month left before Bai Ruxue left the river.
January 28th.
That night, there was a heavy snowfall in Shiqiao Village.
This should be the last snow of winter.
Xiao Mo could also feel that this might be the last snow in his life.
The next morning, Xiao Mo woke up.
As usual, Bai Rushue boiled some hot water for Xiao Mo to wash up.
After breakfast, Bai Ruxue wanted to clean the courtyard, but Xiao Mo stopped her: "Cleaning up when you come back, let's go for a walk outside first."
"Now?" Bai Ruxue looked at the heavy snow and said worriedly, "But Xiao Mo, the snow is very heavy."
"It's okay." Xiao Mo shook his head. "I'm just old, but I'm still very healthy."
Bai Ruxue: “.”
"I'm really fine, and you're not sure if I'll go out alone, are you?" Xiao Mo said with a smile.
"All right."
Bai Ruxue reluctantly agreed.
In fact, Bai Ruxue was still very worried about Xiao Mo's health, but seeing that Xiao Mo insisted on going out, Bai Ruxue had no choice but to accompany him.
But if I noticed that his expression was not right, I would immediately pull him back. Why wouldn’t he listen to him!
"Then let's go."
"Wait, I'll get an umbrella."
"No need for an umbrella."
"Xiao Mo, the snow is too heavy."
"fine."
Xiao Mo pulled Bai Rushue out of the yard.
After an incense stick of time, Xiao Mo brought Bai Rushue to a lake.
This lake is called Xueqing Lake.
Originally, this lake had no name, but on the day Xiao Mo passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, County Magistrate Sun wanted to expand the lake as a memorial.
County Magistrate Sun asked Xiao Mo what name he would like to choose.
Xiao Mo used this name.
Afterwards, County Magistrate Sun diverted several streams to Xueqing Lake, built a dam, erected a pavilion, and planted willow trees.
Unconsciously, over the years, the people of Qingshan City would choose this place when they went out for an outing.
The two walked along the edge of Xueqing Lake, and white snow like catkins fell from the sky and landed on their shoulders.
As they walked, Bai Rushue would occasionally pat the snow off Xiao Mo's shoulders, and would occasionally look at Xiao Mo's profile.
One circle.
Two laps.
Xiao Mo took Bai Rushue and walked around Xueqing Lake in circles.
The two of them left one footprint after another in the snow.
Every time you take a step, the snow makes a "crunching" sound.
"Xiao Mo, are you cold?" Bai Ruxue asked worriedly.
Xiao Mo shook his head: "Not cold."
"Then tell me if you're cold, and we'll go back immediately."
"good."
When she reached the third lap, Bai Ruxue raised her head again.
"Xiao Mo, are you tired?"
"I'm not tired."
When the two of them walked to the fourth circle, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and Bai Ruxue already wanted to pull Xiao Mo back.
"Xiao Mo, let's go back. It's snowing so heavily, you'll catch a cold."
"It's okay. More than 20 years ago, I encountered even heavier snow than this."
During the fifth lap, Bai Ruxue looked at Xiao Mo, feeling increasingly anxious: "Xiao Mo, can we go back?"
Xiao Mo smiled and said calmly, "Let's just do this last lap and then we'll go back."
"All right."
Bai Rushue lowered her head.
This is really the last lap.
After this circle, even if he doesn't go back, I will pull him away!
Xiao Mo walked forward step by step, with Bai Ruxue following beside him.
Bai Ruxue didn't know why Xiao Mo was walking in circles here.
She was only worried about Xiao Mo's health, whether he was tired, and whether he would catch a cold.
"Ruxue, I remembered something." Xiao Mo said.
"What's the matter?" Bai Ruxue blinked.
"You once asked me a question." Xiao Mo said with a smile, "You asked me if we could grow old together."
Bai Ruxue lowered her head, her cheeks blushing. "I asked, and you promised me."
"Yes, I promised you."
Xiao Mo raised his head and looked at the heavy snow flying all over the sky.
The white snow fell on the hair of the two people, staining their hair and dyeing it into a silver-white color.
When he reached the finish line, Xiao Mo finally stopped.
He turned around and looked into the woman's peach-like eyes:
"Ruxue, you say.
Now, can we say that we have both grown old together? "
