Why is my master always lost and swollen? !

Finally, the shadow of the covered bridge emerged from the thick fog ahead.It extends horizontally into the air from one side of the cliff, and finally hides in the depths of the mist.

"Is that the one? The bridge that collapsed a long time ago." Liu Zian turned his head and asked.

"Yes..." Sanqi replied, her voice seemed a little ethereal.Liu Zian stopped by the bridge and put him off his back.Compared with the huge bridge body, the bodies of Liu Zian and Sanqi are as small as ants.Sanqi grabbed Liu Zian's clothes and refused to let go, as if she would fall if she let go.This is not because of bad legs and feet, but because of the imposing manner of the covered bridge in front of him.

"What a magnificent bridge! Who built it?"

"It is said that people from both sides worked together to build it...but the designer of this bridge is Master Bai."

Sanqi finally let go of Liu Zian's clothes.Liu Zian approached the bridge and touched its railing carefully. The cold and hard touch reminded Liu Zian that everything in front of him was not an ambiguous dream or phantom, but a real existence.

"Hello! Is there someone here?" Liu Zian walked to the bridge with a lantern in his hand and shouted loudly, but there was no response.The fog was still so thick that it was impossible to see if anyone was on the bridge standing here.However, Liu Zian had a feeling that someone on the bridge was watching him.The howling cold wind passed through the dark valley, and from time to time there were small sounds, like whispers.

"Could it be that I'm overthinking?" Liu Zian shuddered, thinking.

Sanqi seemed a little timid, standing in a daze a few steps away from the bridge.

"Hey, you should come here. If you stand there and don't move, if you don't see your mother then, this trip will be in vain." Seeing Sanqi standing there in a daze, Liu Zian felt a little relieved. In a hurry, I reached out to pull him.Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched his arm, Sanqi fell to the ground, her face pale, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Liu Zian was a little helpless, but thought that he had come here, if Sanqi still couldn't meet his mother, it would be a pity, so he decided to be a good person to the end.

He jumped on the bridge a few times vigorously, but the bridge was not moved at all, and there was no sign of damage.Probably there is no problem, Liu Zian said in peace.

"Wait there for a while. Now that we're all here, I'll go a little further and help you find your mother." After saying this, Liu Zian boldly walked towards the center of the bridge with a lantern in his hand. go.

Compared with the bridgehead, the fog on the bridge seemed to be thicker. Liu Zian felt like a fairy walking among the clouds. The dim light of the lantern could only illuminate a small area beside him.Of course, the premise of all this is to ignore the dark abyss filled with thick fog under the bridge and the gaze from nowhere in the distance.

Liu Zian remembered that among the dramas and story books he had seen, there was one called "Legend of the White Snake".It seems to be about a scholar who met a beautiful girl on the bridge, and later got married.Could the bridge in front of me be the one in the play?Although he is not a scholar, he is quite proficient in literature, and the one he was looking for this trip was also a girl... Liu Zian felt that he was a little ridiculous, this bridge had already ceased to exist, it was a ghost bridge, and he was only looking for a girl Ghost, still looking for her son.What's more, even if there is a real marriage, do you want your wife to be a snake demon?

Liu Zian was thinking while walking, as if he vaguely found a figure in the thick fog ahead.He stood still and took a closer look. The figure was tall and tall, like an adult man, and it shouldn't be Sanqi's mother.

"Hey, is there anyone on the other side?" Liu Zian tried to shout, but the other party didn't answer.Liu Zian decided to take a closer look.Sure enough, there was a man on the opposite side, hunched over, dressed in a shabby farmer's clothes, standing there with a dull expression.It was nothing at all, but what was strange was that he was drenched all over, and water was dripping from his hair and clothes, forming a puddle on the ground.

Liu Zian looked at the top of the covered bridge and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did it rain just now?"

The man shook his head, looked into the distance with blank eyes and said, "I drowned that day..."

"Drowning?" Liu Zian seemed to know the identity of the man.

"Yeah... fell, fell into the river, and was washed away by the water..." The man muttered in a low voice with a sad expression, his face was wet, and he couldn't tell whether it was water or tears.

"That was really a catastrophe." Although the death had become a reality, Liu Zian still felt that he should comfort the poor man.

"It's cold, it's so cold here!" the man murmured tremblingly with his hands covering his face.

"Let me tell you, have you ever seen a gorgeous woman in a red dress on this bridge?" Liu Zian asked him.However, the man just kept mumbling, Liu Zian couldn't hear what he was saying at all, and didn't know if he was answering himself properly.Liu Zian decided to ignore him and continue walking forward.

The bridge stretches endlessly through the air.Perhaps because of the dense fog, Liu Zian could neither see the cliff on the other side nor the end of the bridge.After walking for a long time, Liu Zian saw another figure in front of him, it was a thin girl who looked about his age.She lay on the railing and looked down at the bridge. Her long hair was hanging out of the bridge, and she was covered in water like the man just now. She wore straw sandals on one foot and barefoot on the other, looking a little scary.

"Hey, did you see a gorgeously dressed woman in a red dress around here?" Liu Zian mustered up the courage to go up to her and ask her.

The woman slowly parted her long hair and turned to look at Liu Zian. The parted strands of hair were also soaked in water, dripping water stains around her feet.

"You mean, Yanniang?" the woman asked, her voice soft and sweet.

"I don't know for sure, I just know that she likes to wear red clothes." Liu Zian replied with some embarrassment.

"Then it must be Yanniang. She loves wearing a red dress the most... If that's the case, one day, she passed by me and then fell off." The woman said, her tone seemed to be saying something. A rare and commonplace thing.

"Fall?" Liu Zian was a little confused.

"Yes. That day, suddenly there was a loud noise, the bridge collapsed, and we all fell." Liu Zian finally understood what she said seemed to be the day when the covered bridge collapsed, and he couldn't help complaining about the people on the bridge. Everyone talks without beginning or end.

"Speaking of which, you are really infatuated, you actually found this place." The woman giggled.

"Ah... no, I don't know that Yanniang. I came to help her son find her... Her son is waiting at the bridge!" Liu Zian waved his hands repeatedly and hurriedly explained.

The woman glanced at Liu Zian playfully, remained silent for a while, bit her pale lips, looked down the bridge and said, "Well... there is something, I want to ask you... am I... dead?"

"Well, I don't know..." Liu Zian looked at the woman's anxious look, and felt that he couldn't tell the truth.The woman lowered her head in silence, her long black hair covered her cheeks, her hands were holding on to the railing, trembling tremblingly.

Liu Zian couldn't bear to watch it any longer, and decided to move on.However, as he walked, Liu Zian suddenly realized that this bridge might not lead anywhere at all.In front of the dense fog, there was nothing but the straight bridge deck, and the cliff on the opposite side was still invisible.Is it really humanly possible to build such a long bridge?Looking from the top of the cliff, the bridge is indeed very magnificent, but the distance I have traveled has already exceeded the length between the cliffs.

Perhaps, it was an ordinary bridge before it collapsed, but now it is different, it has become another existence, it is a ghost bridge.Extending endlessly in the mist, only one end is set up on the cliff, and the other end does not extend anywhere... No, maybe it is connected to somewhere, Liu Zian felt that the gaze that had been falling on him since the beginning came from in the depths of the fog.

At this time, Liu Zian heard the crisp sound of bells in the distance, followed by the sound of footsteps.He stopped in his tracks, picked up the lantern to take a picture, and saw a figure in red clothes walking towards him in front of him, so he held his breath, waiting for her to approach.After a while, a beautiful woman in red clothes appeared in front of his eyes.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Zian yelled when he saw that the woman in red was about to pass him by.

The woman stopped in her tracks and looked at Liu Zian in confusion.Being stared at by the beauty, Liu Zian couldn't help feeling a little feverish, but fortunately he didn't forget the business, and asked, "Are you called Yanniang? And you have a son."

The woman in red was also dripping with water all over her body, and when she heard Liu Zian's words, she nodded slightly with surprise on her face.

"Well... your son is waiting for you by the bridge. Go over now, and you should be able to see him." Yanniang looked up at Liu Zian's face, her eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief.

"Why, you don't want to see your son? I've made an agreement with him to bring you there." Liu Zian said.

The woman chuckled and said, "Is there any mother in the world who doesn't want to see her son? It's just that Yin and Yang are separated now, so what if we meet..."

"You know you're dead?" Liu Zian asked in surprise.

"Of course I know... Falling from such a high place, is there still life? At the beginning, after I fell off the bridge, I was hit by the falling wood before I fell into the water, and sank directly to the bottom of the river. There... It's so cold." Yanniang said, shivering all over her body.

"Then, do you want to see Sanqi?" Liu Zian asked while carefully observing Yanniang's expression.

"Sanqi? Is that the child's name?" Speaking of the child, Yanniang's tone became a little lighter.

"That's right... But Sanqi is no longer a child, he has grown up." Liu Zian replied.

"Growing up... he was only this big when I left." Yan Niang gestured with her hands, with a look of nostalgia on her face, "Take me to meet that child, I really want to see him grow up Afterwards."

Liu Zian and Yanniang walked back side by side.On the way, when passing by the woman just now, Yan Niang whispered in Liu Zian's ear and said, "That girl has a sweetheart in the village. The last time I crossed the bridge was to buy a dowry. Unfortunately, it has become this It's so pitiful."

It's a long road, but with the beauty's company, Liu Zian felt that the way back was not as bad as it was when he came.

"Yanniang, why do you like to wear red dresses?"

"When I first entered this industry, I knew that I would never have a chance to wear a wedding dress in this life. If so, I will wear red every day, and I will be a bride every day."

"It's really a little girl's idea... Then why did you give birth to Sanqi in the first place?"

"Because the child's father is very kind to me...Although the business has not been bad since I was listed, those men have a purpose. How should I put it, I always feel a little disgusted! But the child's father treats me Well, it's different from those guys. He's always there when I need help the most, helps me out of all kinds of troubles, and takes me to heart...but he never tells me when he's in trouble, even if he says , and tell it to me as a story after everything is settled. Well... it’s touching, do you understand that feeling?” Yanniang said, with a happy smile on her face unconsciously.

"I can probably understand..." A figure of a person appeared in Liu Zian's mind, and that person was also like this... So, is my feeling for him moved?

During the conversation, the two passed by the hunchbacked man they had talked with at first, and they were almost at the bridge.Sure enough, soon, a few birdsong came to my ears, it was the birds in the forest chirping.The mountain wind blew Liu Zian's cheeks, and he realized that although it was freezing cold on the bridge just now, there was not even a breath of wind.

The wind was filled with the breath of life, and Yanniang fell silent at some point, and followed behind Liu Zian wordlessly.Finally, a huge cliff emerged from the fog.
