That Person In That River and Lake

  Chapter 590 Goodbye Jianghu (final chapter)

   The first year of Tianqi, April.

The flames of war raged, and countless people were displaced. Langya County, which had just experienced the invasion of the Northern Desert, once again fell into dire straits. Countless people were displaced. Many people who escaped the first war failed to escape the second one. Chaos, no worse than Beimo, Langya County, ten rooms and nine empties, the whole world is full of displaced people.

  The weather in April has begun to heat up, and corpses can be seen everywhere. No matter it is the roadside city, a strong stench is spreading. One day, a white-haired white runner slowly entered the city.

  Although this man has white hair, his face is quite young. There is a blue-black beard on the corner of his mouth. His eyes seem to be cold, but they are full of melancholy. He looks at the messy scene in the city without stopping, and continues to move forward.

   "This is mine, you give it back to me, give it back to me..."

   Just as he was passing by a refugee camp, he suddenly heard a crying voice. For some reason, his calm heart suddenly felt a little touched, and he looked over slightly.

A five or six-year-old girl, her face was dark, her clothes were dirty, but the fabric was fine, and she squatted on the ground crying loudly. Before the war, this little girl should also be a child of a wealthy family. Two or three beggars were fighting for a steamed bun, which they should have just snatched from the little girl.

Looking at this scene, the man in white shook his head slightly. Now that the war has just begun, most people still have a batch of humanity in their hearts. However, I am afraid that the fate of that little girl will not be good for a long time. , I am afraid that the year when Yizi will eclipse each other is not far away.

  However, the man in white just sighed and continued to move forward. There are thousands of people in this world, and his manpower is exhausted. After all, he can only do nothing to help. Moreover, he is already tired of saving the common people in the world.

   Just as the man in white was about to walk away, the little girl rushed over, grabbed him, and shouted, "Master, are you here to pick me up?"

The man in white was startled for a moment, looked at the little girl, and sighed again. The child was quite clever. He took out a steamed bun from his bag and handed it to the little girl. At that moment, more than a dozen beggars stared at her. , but the man in white snorted coldly, stomped lightly, and a bluestone slab was shattered, which completely shocked the beggars, and no one dared to continue thinking.

  The little girl was still clutching the sleeve of the man in white, and with the other dirty hand, she wolfed down the steamed buns, raised her head again, and asked, "Master, is there any water? I got it!"

  The man in white untied the water bottle from his waist, gave it to the little girl, and asked, "Why do you still dare to ask me for water? Are you not afraid that I will get angry?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes and said: "Master won't be angry. My father said that Master is a fairy in the sky. My name is given by Master. Then Master must like me very much, so he won't give birth to me." gas?"

  The man in white was a little puzzled and said, "When did I name you?"

The little girl swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns and said: "Father said that when I was born, I was already dead, but Master came to my house on the moon and brought me back to life, and said, "Where is the end of the world?" , Resign and go back, "So, my name is Lan Wangci!"

  The man in white was startled suddenly, looked at the little girl for a long time, and then slowly said: "You will follow me from now on!"

  ...

   I don’t know how many years have passed, spring and autumn come, the years are long, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing.

   It’s a certain year again, and counting the cold days, it’s just when the snow comes.

  Although it is October at the moment, the northern country is extremely cold, and snowflakes are falling all over the sky in one day. Looking all over the green mountains, there is nowhere to hide from the wind and snow.

It's freezing cold, in the morning, in the Wutong village in Chongshan, green bamboos are overgrown, and the green bamboos are all green bamboos at a glance. is covered.

The snowy path stretched out, and there was a middle-aged man wearing a white shirt with ten-fingered sleeves, thick layers, a layer of light white cloth around his neck, and snowflakes on his head. He took out his hands from time to time and took a deep breath. It's cold!

The middle-aged man slowly walked out of the path with a few yellowed books in his arms. When he arrived at the market town, there were quite a lot of pedestrians coming and going, and there were also many small vendors. When they saw the middle-aged man, they would call out kindly. "Mr. Gu"!

There are a lot of people who know Mr. Gu, but no one in the whole town knows what Mr. Gu's full name is, but occasionally a child asks the older generation about the one in the private school who never hits anyone. When asked what is the name of the gentleman, it suddenly dawned on some people that after staying in the same town for so many years, they still don't know the name of the gentleman.

  Some people occasionally recall that Mr. Gu seemed to come here more than ten years ago, when wars were raging all over the world, and Mr. Gu came here with his old friend's daughter.

When talking about Mr. Gu, many women would still sigh. When Mr. Gu came to the town, he was still a young man in his prime. The adult's stick, quietly ran to the outside of the private school to peek.

   During a period of time, the threshold of Mr. Gu’s house was broken by the matchmaker. At that time, Mr. Gu would warmly entertain everyone who visited, and then coldly refused all marriage proposals, saying that his wife was dead and he had no intention of taking it again.

At that time, there were still people who didn't believe it. It wasn't until later that Mr. Gu got older, and the daughter of his old friend who followed behind his **** every day with a stick for fear that others would **** his master gradually became more and more graceful, and people realized that , Mr. Gu really has no plans to continue.

This small town is very remote. There were no scholars in the past. It was not until Mr. Gu came that real scholars began to appear in the village. Over the past few years, some of the students brought by Mr. Gu have won the Juren. He wanted to hire Mr. Gu to go to the city, but Mr. Gu refused, which made the townspeople heave a sigh of relief.

It is also because of this that Mr. Gu, who is already highly respected in the town, respects him even more. Now in the town, even the elders of the older generation will be the first to say hello and call Mr. Gu when they meet Mr. Gu. They are all very gentle, and the people in the town like him very much. It seems that under the influence of Mr. Gu, the people in the town have become more and more gentle and warm, and peaceful over the years.

   Today is the last class of the year. Mr. Gu didn't talk too much, so he let the students go back after class, and he also returned home slowly.

The place where Mr. Gu lives is far away from the market, by the river at the foot of the mountain. It is a thatched cottage with a few bamboo houses, which are more than enough to shelter from the wind and rain. Although it is a bit rudimentary, Mr. Gu likes it very much. The gentry invited him to live in the village several times, but he refused. The moss marks are green on the steps, and the river gate passes by. There are a few bluestone slabs, and the grass is as green as the curtain. The couplet "This is a humble room, but I am virtuous!"

Xia Guo is a country where culture and martial arts are more prevalent, and because in these years, Gu Qingshi, the Lord of Zhen Guo, has been friends with the Empress of Wu Guo, and has opened many girls' academies. A few years ago, Mr. Gu's apprentice named Lan Wangci was She went to the university to study, and she went there for two years. When she left, she even made a bold statement to the elders in the town that she wanted to become a Jinshi.

As in the past, Mr. Gu returned home to light a fire to cook. Soon, he took the food and made a pot of tea. He sat in front of the window and ate slowly. After he finished eating, he picked up the teacup again and slowly Slowly sipping tea, at this time, the snow outside had stopped, and there was a burst of footsteps outside the courtyard, wrapped in silver.

   "Master, Master, I'm back!"

Mr. Gu put down his teacup, looked over, with a smile on his face, walked out slowly, and saw the little apprentice who had been away for several years rushing over, circled around Mr. Gu several times, and finally said with satisfaction: "Well, I have taken good care of myself over the past few years and have not let me down!"

  Mr. Gu smiled slightly and said: "You silly girl, Master can raise you so much, are you still afraid that Master can't take care of yourself?"

  Lan Wangci smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Master, you are getting old? Who knows if your eyesight will be dim!"

   Mr. Gu smiled helplessly.

"By the way, Master, I also brought a friend back. She is my classmate. She is amazing. Last time in the capital, she beat up dozens of people by herself, and beat up that dude from Zhen Guogong's family to the point of disgrace. ,hey-hey!"

   "Xiao Nanyue, haven't you always wanted to see my master? Come here quickly!"

Outside the fenced yard, a girl in white was leading a horse, with her back facing the vast snow, and she walked in slowly. Her lower body was wrapped in a thin white ribbon, wrapped around a sword as white as jade, and her black hair hung down like a waterfall on her bare body like jade. On his back, water droplets slowly fell from his hair.

  She looked at Mr. Gu quietly. At that moment, time and space went backwards.

  Mr. Gu muttered in a trance: "Keep!"

  The world was silent, and countless snowflakes were falling down from the low sky. In an instant, mountains, rivers, fields, and villages were all shrouded in white snow.

  Mr. Gu had a smile on his face.

   Look, it's snowing!

  —The whole book is over!

   As for the new book, it will be released around the National Day, a brand new world. In the next chapter, I will write a testimonial, interested readers, you can take a look!
