Wind of Kowloon

Chapter 209 You Are Back
On the ninth day of September, it snowed heavily.

Floating Snow City is already considered to be winter at this day, and it has been snowing for almost half a year. Perhaps it is for this reason that it is named Floating Snow City.

In Piaoxue City, there are quite dilapidated ruins, collapsed houses and old walls, dark dead trees that are still burned no matter how long it has passed, wells that can no longer produce water, dry lotus ponds, and withered flowers and plants that have rotted long ago .

All kinds of failures are telling the prosperity of this place in the past.

White snow covered the ruins, as if deliberately covering up its dilapidated appearance, so as not to remind people who saw it of some memories that should not be recalled.

Creak, creak, the sound of feet stepping on the snow clearly echoed in the ruins.A dirty body, messy hair, and a face full of dirt made it impossible to see his face clearly.

This person looks like a beggar. The reason why he looks like a beggar is because he holds a clean basket in his hand, and in the basket are several snow-white steamed buns and incense paper money.The visitor walked in the depths of the ruins, knelt down and gently brushed off the snow on the ground. Under the snow was a piece of rotten wood, on which two characters could barely be discerned—Tianfu!
The visitor silently took out the steamed buns, lit a joss stick, grabbed a handful of paper money and scattered them in the sky. The yellow paper money fluttered in the cold wind, and finally fell powerlessly to the ground, which was very eye-catching.

"I'm here to see you again," the person who came said hoarsely, glanced at the yellow paper falling on the ground, protecting the incense candles that may be extinguished at any time in the cold wind, "Heaven is not sick, all the people of the Tian family, at this time I You are already in dire straits, so you really have no money to buy more wine for you, only some hard steamed buns, so you can eat as much as you can."

The visitor simply sat on the snow, grabbed the yellow papers in the basket and lit them one by one, turning them into ashes and blowing away in the wind, "Say, if I follow you to fight to the death with the Xing family instead of listening If you run away alone, then I don't have to wait so hard every year to worship for you."

The visitor was talking to himself, and the yellow paper in his hand was quickly burned out.Picking up the steamed buns, he took a hard bite, chewed them indiscriminately, and swallowed them. In just a short time, the few steamed buns used for worship were eaten up.

The visitor stood up and patted the snowflakes on his buttocks, "I still haven't found Tianluo's whereabouts. Now many people say that Tianluo has long since turned into that cold mountain, but I don't know who sent the news, Tianluo might not be dead yet, he deceived everyone, he went to a place so far away that no one from the Xing family could find it." The visitor paused, picked up the basket on the ground, and patted He patted the snowflake on it, "I borrowed this with great difficulty, and I want to return it to others. Don't worry, since I promised to help you inquire about Tianluo's news, as long as I am still alive, I will definitely do it. Goodbye Now, everyone in the Tian family, I will come to see you again on this day next year."

After all, the visitor turned around and wanted to leave.

However, the moment he turned around, his body shook, stiff as ice, his eyes widened, and even the dirt on his face couldn't conceal the frightened expression.The basket in his hand slipped silently and fell to the ground.

Her lips trembled, but she couldn't say that name no matter what.

In the ruins, it was barely possible to discern the location of a gate. At this time, a person stood quietly in the snow.The long black hair was dyed white in the wind and snow, and under the thin robe was a thin body that could be blown down by a gust of cold wind.In this person's hand, he was also holding a basket, but his basket was much more delicate, and it was not difficult to see that there must be a lot of food and wine in it that was far better than white steamed buns.

The people standing under the gate saw the trembling beggar, smiled, and walked towards the beggar step by step.This person walked on the snow, without the slightest footprint, and without the slightest sound.Not long after, the man walked up to the beggar, looked at the incense candles on the ground, and the scattered yellow paper, squatted down, opened the basket, and took out two jugs of good wine and several plates of good dishes.Glancing at the somewhat fuzzy Tianfu wooden board, he wiped off the snowflakes again, kneeled down solemnly in front of the wooden board, and kowtowed three times, "The unfilial son Tianluo is here to bow down to all the heroes of the Tianfu family!"

Hearing Tianluo say his name, the trembling body of the beggar suddenly calmed down, took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened it again, looked at Tianluo who was kneeling on the ground, and smiled sadly, "You are back..."

"Yeah, I'm back," Tianluo took out two wine glasses, picked up the jug and filled them up.From the heat coming out of the wine, it could be seen that the wine was overheated, Tian Luo picked up a glass and handed it to the beggar, "Unfortunately, I came back late."

The beggar took the warm wine in Tianluo's hand, raised his head and drank it all, and suddenly a warm current flowed through his cold body. The comfortable feeling made the beggar praise, "Good wine."

Tianluo glanced at the beggar, smiled and then looked at the Tianfu wooden board in front of him. As long as snowflakes fell on it, he would wipe it off immediately, "Thank you, Huo Tianlang, the owner of Piaoxue City."

It wasn't until Tianluo uttered the beggar's name that he realized that this person turned out to be Huo Tianlang, the former lord of Piaoxue City.

Huo Tianlang smiled sadly when he heard Tianluo say his name, "Huo Tianlang had already died when the city of Piaoxue was destroyed in the past. At this time, I am just a beggar who begs for a living. As for the snowfall City Lord, don’t mention it again in the future. Have you ever seen a city lord who was betrayed by the whole city? Have you ever seen a city lord who left his city and ran away alone? Haha, what a city lord, it’s ridiculous! Sad! Alas!" Huo Tianlang said sadly, with a smile, he picked up the jug on the ground and poured it hard, how many people can understand the pain in his heart.

"It's all because of me." Tianluo said guiltily.

"Yeah, everything is because of you. You gave me a complete Snow City in the past. But in the end, a complete Snow City was lost from my hands because of you." Huo Tianlang laughed at himself, "What a success! The sky will fall, and the sky will fall if you lose."

"I'm sorry," Tianluo looked at Huo Tianlang, seeing that the former majestic lord of the city had become a beggar today, "If you weren't related to me, you wouldn't be wanted by the Xing family and make you become a beggar." This is what it looks like now. If it wasn’t for the time when the Xing family was about to slaughter the entire Tian family, and you hadn’t acted to protect the Tian family, how could you have fallen into a situation of betrayal, and how could you have left the city.”

"Forget it, everything is over." Huo Tianlang took one last look at Tianluo, turned around and walked out step by step, "At this moment, I just want to live and don't think about anything anymore." Huo Tianlang raised his head Glancing at the flying snowflakes, he tightened his clothes, not knowing why he didn't usually feel cold, but why he felt that today's wind and snow were so cold. "Since you're back, I won't come here from now on. Every year today, you will come to worship."

"I will stay here for seven full days," Tian Luo didn't get up, and gently wiped off the snowflakes on the wooden plank, "If you are really like what you said, you will have nothing to ask for from now on, I won't force you, don't use it yourself Come to me. But, I really hope I can wait for you!"

"Hehe," Huo Tianlang chuckled, and disappeared into the wind and snow step by step.

Among the ruins, only Tianluo knelt down quietly on the ground.When the joss sticks were burnt out, new ones were lit again, and no snowflakes fell on the wooden board in front of it to cover the word Tianfu on it.

For seven days, Tianluo knelt there motionless.At this time, he has already turned into a snowman, but the word Tianfu placed on the wooden board in front of him has never been covered by flying snow.

It was almost dusk, and this was the last day of the seven-day agreement between Tianluo and Huo Tianlang.Tianluo stretched out his hand and gently wiped off the flying snow on the wooden board, without any other movements or words.

At this time, there was a creaking sound of feet stepping on the snow in the silent ruins of Tianjia.Tianluo didn't look back, but shook his body slightly to disperse the snow.

"You came."

"Yes, I'm here." Huo Tianlang stood behind Tianluo, at this moment he no longer looked like a beggar before.There was no beard on his clean face, his smooth long hair was scattered behind him casually, and he was dressed in a clean black robe, making Huo Sirius look mighty and extraordinary, with a black long knife slung across his back.

"Then let's go." Tianluo stood up, gently picked up the board, and placed it in a place where the wind and snow could not blow it.Looking at Huo Tianlang, "I'm really willing to go to Piaoxue City."

"Haha," Huo Tianlang chuckled, "I've lived for a city all my life, and this time I want to live for myself."

"Well," Tianluo nodded, without saying anything, and walked outside.However, Tianluo walked on the snow without leaving any footprints or sound.

Such strangeness made Huo Tianlang look at Tianluo's back, "Tianluo, you at this time?"

"Hehe," Tianluo didn't look back, nor did he stop, "I'm just a wisp of soul at this moment, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that I'm already dead." As he spoke, his figure was blurred by the wind and snow. middle.

Hearing Tianluo's words, Huo Tianlang was startled, and his footsteps stopped.Looking at the gradually blurred back of Tianluo, he shook his head and smiled, "You are still as interesting as before."

Huo Tianlang quickly followed, and the two quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.
