Chapter 448: Snow on the Cangshan Mountain, Bright Light in the South
Mingnan understands the truth, but understanding and accepting it are two different things.
At night she lay in bed alone, looking at the cold moonlight outside the window, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He Yunfei and Yuan You’s words kept circling in her mind, tugging at her heart.
She felt like she was torn in two. Half of her rational mind believed that they were right. This was how the world was, and people should not and could not interfere in the cause and effect of others.
But her other half asked her back: "You are cultivating immortality, but what kind of immortality are you cultivating? If you see people suffering but don't help them, or see people dying but don't save them, what kind of Tao are you asking for?"
The two voices kept repeating themselves, pulling her apart, making her keep her eyes open until dawn.
The next morning, she said she wanted to go out for a walk alone without even having breakfast. He Yunfei was worried and wanted to follow her, but Yuan You stopped her and said, "It's better to leave her alone."
He Yunfei couldn't help but sigh, "Junior Sister is good in every way, but she's too kind and innocent. I'm afraid she'll get stuck in a rut and lose her faith in Taoism."
"But the path of cultivation can only be walked and understood by her alone. We can't help her much after all. What we said yesterday was also a warning to ourselves, right?"
Yuan You looked at her deeply with a complicated look, "Don't interfere with other people's karma, even if that person is our junior sister."
He Yunfei was silent and turned to look out the window.
……
The sky was gloomy early this morning, as if a storm was coming.
Mingnan walked along the long street from beginning to end.
The streets are still very busy during the day, with many vendors setting up stalls to sell things, including food, daily necessities and toys.
The guy at the bun shop opened the lid of the steamer, and white hot steam hit me in the face, with its rich fragrance drifting far away in the wind.
Mingnan didn't eat much last night and tossed and turned in bed all night. He was now so hungry that his stomach was rumbling.
The wonton stall next door also started boiling water. The stall owner, the grandmother, gently pushed the wontons with a spoon, and the thin-skinned and large-filled wontons rose and fell in the boiling soup.
She hesitated for a while between eating buns or wontons, and finally decided to eat wontons. However, as soon as she took a step, she felt her legs sink.
"Ok?"
She looked down in confusion and saw a small pendant wearing a pink skirt on her leg.
The small pendant looks very cute and delicate.
When he looked up at her, his eyes looked particularly big.
"Sister, do you have no money to eat?"
Mingnan was stunned. He squatted down and rubbed her head and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
The little girl shook her head, grinned and showed her uneven teeth, "Because I heard your stomach growling, you looked at the buns and wontons for a long time, but you didn't move. Who wouldn't eat when they are hungry? You must be out of money."
Without waiting for Mingnan to answer, she untied her small purse, took out a few copper coins from it and stuffed them into her palm, "Here, this is all I have, you can buy a meat bun."
The cool copper coins felt against Mingnan's palm, and his heart suddenly tightened.
She looked into the girl's clear and bright eyes and asked softly, "You gave me the money, what will you do?"
The little girl smiled and pointed to a cloth shop nearby and said, "Ask mom for it."
Mingnan shook his head and returned the copper coin to her, "I can't take your money."
The little girl was confused for a moment, as if she didn't understand why she didn't want it.
After a while, she suddenly let go of Mingnan's legs, turned around and ran away.
Mingnan thought she had gone to look for her mother, so he stood up and prepared to leave. Unexpectedly, the little girl came back with a big bun in her hand and said happily, "It's hot, eat it!"
Seeing her stumbling towards him, Mingnan was surprised and happy, and quickly ran over to pick her up.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall!"
She picked up the little ball and weighed it; it was quite heavy.
"I'll heat it up for you. It's not hot anymore. You can eat it."
The little girl thought she was embarrassed to accept money, so she just bought buns for her.
Mingnan looked at her clean and innocent face and felt incredibly soft in his heart.
She opened her mouth and took a bite. The bun had a thin skin and large fillings. The meat was fragrant and juicy, which comforted her empty stomach very well.
The little girl asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"
Mingnan nodded, "It's very delicious."
"That's good." The little girl touched her face and said, "Sister, you are so beautiful."
Mingnan smiled and said, "You are also pretty, not only in appearance, but also in heart."
"How can the heart be beautiful?" The little girl was puzzled and looked down at her chest. "I can't see it."
205: [Oh my, this is so cute boohoooo ...
Mingnan was also amused by her and kissed her round little face, "The heart of a kind person is pure and clear, like this--"
She took out a smooth and transparent jade bead from her storage ring and gave it to her.
"Here, this is for you."
"Wow, so beautiful!"
The little girl didn't know what it was, so she took it curiously and played with it in her hands.
"Let your mother put a string on it and wear it around your neck. Then you will look as beautiful as me."
"Really?"
The little girl became even happier and held the beads tightly.
"Wanwan——"
"Wanwan, where have you been!"
Suddenly, two panicked calls came from behind Mingnan. She instinctively felt that they were calling the little girl in her arms. She turned around and met the gaze of a beautiful middle-aged woman.
When the lady saw the child in her arms, her eyes widened immediately, she ran over quickly with her skirt lifted up, and almost cried with joy, "Wanwan, you scared me to death!"
Mingnan didn't speak immediately. Instead, his eyes moved between the two of them and he discovered that there was indeed some similarity between their eyebrows and eyes.
The little girl also became excited, turned around in her arms, and called out crisply: "Mother——"
"Hey..." Madam reached out to hug her, but suddenly remembered Mingnan was there. She bowed and said, "Thank you for helping me look after Wanwan. I'm her mother. I was buying cloth over there just now. I wasn't paying attention and she ran out. Did I cause you any trouble?"
"No, your daughter is lovely and kind, and she just treated me to a steamed bun."
Mingnan returned the little girl to her, and the lady immediately hugged her daughter tightly.
The little girl hugged her mother's neck and stretched out her hand to Mingnan, saying, "Eat buns."
"Okay." Mingnan took it and said, "I'll finish it."
The little girl smiled contentedly.
The lady breathed a sigh of relief, patted her on the shoulder and said seriously: "Don't run around anymore. You're lucky to have met a kind sister this time. What if you meet a bad person next time?"
"I'm not stupid. I bought the buns for my sister because she's pretty." The little girl raised the jade bead in her hand and said, "My sister also gave me this."
The child didn't know what jade or beads were, but her mother could tell at a glance that the item was very valuable. Her face immediately changed and she said hurriedly, "It's too valuable. We can't have it. Wanwan, return it to your sister quickly."
Wanwan was confused for a moment, not knowing what to do with the jade beads.
"You gave me a papaya, and I gave you a jade pendant in return. It's not a reward, but a token of our everlasting friendship (1)!" Mingnan slowly tightened his grip on Wanwan's hand, letting her hold the jade bead. He then turned to her mother and said, "True love is hard to come by. When she heard my stomach growling, she thought I had no money to eat, so she used all the copper coins in her purse to buy me buns."
"I have nothing to repay you with, but this jade bead is quite beautiful. Leave it to her as a souvenir. It is not worth much, but just a token of my love. You have taught your daughter well, and she will surely be happy in the future."
The lady thanked him and said, "I will ask her to keep it well. I appreciate your good words."
Mingnan touched Wanwan's head and said, "Sister is leaving first, you go back with mother, don't run around alone in the future, don't let mother worry."
"Got it. Goodbye, sister—"
Wanwan waved at her.
Mingnan raised the bun and turned to leave.
