Chapter 248: Is the first release another steamed sea bass? ...
Yu Chang lowered his head and said nothing, but the slight flicker in his eyes betrayed the turmoil in his heart at the moment.
He didn't know what Wen Yu was thinking about or why he was distracted, but he knew without guessing that it was probably nothing to do with him.
Yu Chang looked up at the snowflakes falling from the branches as he brushed past them. After being unraveled, the crimson dots of the plum blossoms became even more eye-catching, and their grace after being beaten by frost and snow was even more elegant and outstanding.
Originally, he wanted Wen Yu to see more clearly because she was so mesmerized, but Wen Yu's sudden realization made him suddenly feel that the red spots were very glaring.
The winter plum blossoms are in bloom, and the pomegranate flowers are fading.
It was no longer the Mayday that he and Wen Yu reunited with.
Times have changed. Even if Yu Chang tries his best to ignore the past, it will still give him a sudden blow at such a critical moment.
"Be careful not to catch a cold." Yu Chang suppressed the discomfort in his throat and advised.
Wen Yu withdrew her hand upon hearing this, and ultimately did not touch the red plum blossoms and broken snowflakes on the branches. She wrapped herself in the straps of the fox fur with both hands, and finally raised her eyebrows to gaze at the branches.
After we parted, we went our separate ways.
If you want to send plum blossoms, don’t send plum blossoms.
After all, she was no longer the person who refused to listen to advice, and she no longer had playmates who would indulge her.
Flowers will bloom again one day, but will people... ever be able to reunite?
A long wind blew, and a frost-freeze brushed against her face. No one answered the question in Wen Yu's heart. After a moment's silence, Wen Yu turned and left.
Looking at the direction she was heading, Yu Chang's lips opened and closed slightly, as if he was about to say something.
That's in front...
Originally, he just wanted to take a walk with Wenyu and experience the scenery of the world, but he didn't want to ask her to revisit the old place and make her sad.
But Yu Chang did not say anything to stop her. He let Wen Yu walk forward with unsteady steps, while he followed behind with three or two steps behind.
The sky and the earth are vast, and everything is white.
After walking an unknown distance, Wen Yu suddenly saw some greenery in front of her eyes. She looked around in disbelief.
The green mountains in the distance and the frozen river under your feet made Wen Yu feel unreal.
Of course she knew that mountain. It was... it was where her master's cave and the Wutong Ancestral Temple were located. It was Houchun Mountain.
Suddenly, she lowered her eyes to look at the river that was winding but motionless before her, and said hesitantly: "This is..."
If that mountain is Houchun Mountain, then this water is...
Wen Yu's thoughts drifted, as if she had returned to a long time ago, to that time, that place, that person... those stories of the past...
Although he knew what Wen Yu was asking, Yu Chang lowered his brows and kept silent. He didn't know how to answer Wen Yu's doubts.
I just hope Wen Yu will forget about it quickly and put this matter behind her.
He...is not a generous person after all, he has his own selfish desires and...meanness.
Did Wen Yu really forget? Perhaps not entirely.
But she must have been unable to face the past when she asked about it now. If he could speak out, would she feel better?
Yu Chang's face was indifferent, but his heart was turbulent. He hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
But in the silence between the two, a clear and crisp female voice came through the wind, separating Wen Yu and Yu Chang.
"Yuan River."
The answer that the two of them had never said out loud was laid out before them, leaving Wen Yu and Yu Chang unable to avoid it.
Wen Yu's eyelashes trembled and her eyes flickered. The spiritual veins around her body seemed to be connected in an instant. Waves of restless aura surged from her body, making her suddenly uneasy.
It was the name she knew but dared not mention; it was the place where she swam along the river, made wishes and released lanterns; it was the water flow she dug the canal and diverted water for irrigation -
Yuan River.
As her fingertips brushed across her palm, Wen Yu felt a slight itch, and could not escape the burning anxiety that was coming towards her.
Yu Chang beside her frowned, and his usually expressionless face finally showed a ripple. He turned around, glanced sideways, and followed the sound.
Wen Yu seemed to be frozen in place. After a moment of stunned silence, she also looked in the direction of Yu Chang's movements.
Wearing a bamboo hat and straw raincoat, with cold flowers and frost on the ground, a woman in white is fishing on the shore of a lake that is ten miles long and frozen. The bamboo basket beside her is actually filled with fresh fish jumping around.
Wen Yu narrowed his eyes, obviously attracted by the woman.
It's freezing cold, and even the river is covered with thick ice. How could anyone come here to fish?
She pressed down Yu Chang's sleeve to stop him from attacking, and then walked up to him from behind.
For some reason, the woman's voice always gave her a vague sense of familiarity. Wen Yu remained motionless, hesitantly looking at the person in the distance.
"Wenyu." Yu Chang whispered.
Although he knew that Wen Yu had never neglected her cultivation for hundreds of years and that she wouldn't be harmed by a small fight, the person before him...
Yu Chang's scrutinizing gaze swept over him, and after some assessment, he came to a conclusion of only four words:
Unfathomable.
Wen Yu's eyes flashed, and she understood the meaning of Yu Chang's words. She had no chance of winning against the woman in white in front of her.
However, she had not originally planned to take action. The other person was just giving her a kind reminder. As long as she did not go forward to provoke him, everything would be fine.
Wen Yu stopped in her tracks, but was not in a hurry to leave. She wanted to see how this person caught so many fresh fish under layers of ice.
She clearly saw no signs of the river surface being opened.
After the woman finished speaking, she didn't say anything else. It seemed that she spoke just on impulse and was not very interested in Wen Yu and Yu Chang, the two passers-by.
Soon, the fishing rod without a fishing line was raised, and accompanied by the sound of splashing water, the fish with its tail flapping and jumping jumped into the half-man-high fish basket.
Her movements were so fast that Wen Yu barely had time to see them clearly. All she could hear was the slapping sounds in the fish basket.
I wonder where this fellow Taoist with such high level of cultivation comes from?
Wen Yu racked his brains to count all the gods he knew, but he couldn't figure out anything.
Until the woman in white turned around——
She had a silver whip wrapped around her waist and white silk covering her eyes. Her simple attire could not hide her elegance. Her dignified and majestic eyebrows under her green bamboo hat were now meeting Wen Yu's eyes.
Wen Yu's eyes widened slightly, and she suddenly felt that the person in front of her and the gentleness in his eyes were very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.
"Wen Yujun?" The woman raised her eyebrows, her words filled with a hint of anger. "What? Don't you recognize me?"
With the call of "Wen Yujun", past memories suddenly came back to him, and Wen Yu widened his eyes in disbelief.
The reaction of the lips and teeth was faster than the brain. Wen Yu couldn't help but murmur: "I don't want to hear you..."
The woman in plain clothes in front of him was the one he had met once in Xianchun Cottage on Houchun Mountain hundreds of years ago... the God of Wealth Zhao Buwen.
However, at that time, she was wearing all kinds of gorgeous clothes, hairpins, rings and jewelry, but now...
Wen Yu did not dare to look at Zhao Buwen openly, and could only glance at her quietly.
With a straw hat, a cloth skirt, a straw hat and a straw raincoat, apart from that objectively beautiful face, how could he have the air of a middle-class god of wealth?
Although it is luxurious, it is a bit too simple for her status.
Yu Chang remained silent. He didn't know this Mr. Bu Wen. But since he knew about the Yuan River, he must have some connection with Wen Yu.
He stepped forward and stood beside Wen Yu, nodding slightly as a greeting to Zhao Buwen.
Zhao Buwen was not a shy person. He raised his chin towards Wen Yu and Yu Chang, then turned around and threw the invisible fishing line in his hand into the river.
For Yu Wenyu, Zhao Buwen was both an old friend and a benefactor. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they could still talk to each other.
Wen Yu, wrapped in fox fur, stepped forward and stopped beside Zhao Buwen in a few steps. She looked at the bottomless fish basket and asked knowingly, "Buwen-kun, what are you doing here?"
It seemed like a very boring question. In fact, Zhao Buwen didn't need to answer it at all, but she turned her eyes to Wen Yu and said patiently, "Go fishing. Only when you catch some fish can you apologize to them."
Fishing to make amends.
Wen Yufu suddenly understood and said, "Is it... a mount for you?"
She remembered the orange-patterned raccoon she had seen when she met Bu Wenjun at Xianchun Cottage. She thought he must like eating fish.
Although Zhao Buwen did not confirm it explicitly, judging from her faint smile, it was probably the case.
only……
Wen Yu glanced around and then looked at the well-stocked fish basket. "It's freezing cold, but I can still catch some fish."
Thousands of miles of frost and ice, the still Yuanshui River looks lonely, with white everywhere.
Wen Yu couldn't help but compare the scene before her eyes with the appearance of the Yuan River in her memory, but she couldn't connect the two no matter what.
She had spent spring, summer and autumn by the Yuan River, except for winter. Therefore, she had never seen the Yuan River frozen in winter.
At that time...
"How are we going to prepare these fish today?"
Wen Yu walked barefoot on the ridge of the field, holding up her skirt. Her pink sleeves were gathered up with her green sleeves. In the sunlight, she looked like a lotus flower emerging from the water, bright and charming.
Song Linsheng, who was three or two steps behind her, returned with Wen Yu's wet shoes and socks in one hand and a fully loaded fish basket and fishing gear in the other.
Although he was in the fields and carrying heavy objects, Song Linsheng's moon-white clothes were stained with mud, but when he walked, his upright body had a certain dignity.
Even if he was doing something sneaky, it was hard to hide his charm.
After hearing Wen Yu's question, Song Linsheng murmured softly, "Hmm..." and seemed to be distressed about it.
"Is it steamed sea bass again?" Wen Yu jumped, turned around and walked backwards, facing Song Linsheng head-on.
He turned his back to the green mountains and bid farewell to the setting sun. His whole body was bathed in a layer of warm yellow light. A faint shadow swept across his eyebrows, making the smile in his eyes more obvious.
Wen Yu felt strange and wondered what Song Linsheng was thinking about, why he laughed so... abnormally.
"What?" Song Linsheng couldn't help laughing, and asked knowingly, "Xiaoyu wants to eat pickled food today?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Wen Yu felt like a cat being grabbed by the scruff of the neck, and her fur almost stood on end.
Song Linsheng's gentle and kind gaze seemed to have grown fine hairs at this moment. Although it was just a gentle touch across Wen Yu's face, it still made her feel extremely itchy.
Thinking of those words from the past, Wen Yu quickly turned her back, not daring to look at Song Linsheng again.
It's just that she was busy in her heart and was unforgiving in her words. Anyway, she was much bolder when she didn't look Song Linsheng in the eye.
Wen Yu muttered in a low voice, "No way! Didn't Master Song say beforehand, 'Steamed is best, pickled is second best.'"
