    Now Qingyang has seen through it, and he is more casual. I am lucky to have my life, if I can get Yu Mengmiao, Qingyang will definitely cherish it even more.  He will not complain about heaven and earth, nor will he seek death and survival.

    Qingyang stood quietly among the crowd without showing any abnormalities. He waited until the engagement meeting was over and the monks left before he followed the crowd out of the City Lord's Mansion.

    After leaving the city lord's mansion, Qingyang wandered around Qingfu City with a lot of worries for a day. In such a big Qingfu city, he couldn't find a place to stay.  Go outside the city.  Yu Mengmiao has found her destination, and her last concern in this world is gone. Where in the world can she go?

    Although he had made up his mind, Qingyang always couldn't bear to leave. In the final analysis, he still couldn't let go, so after leaving the city, Qingyang didn't sacrifice the imperial wind gourd to fly, but walked along the road.  Walking forward slowly and leisurely is like taking a walk to relax.

    In one day, Qingyang only walked a hundred miles, when a white lake suddenly appeared in front of him.  The lake is not big, only a dozen miles in radius, the lake is covered with white sand and pebbles, reflecting the whole lake is white, there is a dilapidated tea shed near the road, and there are no guests at this time, only an old woman sitting bored  under the shed.

    The old woman was full of white hair and wrinkled face. Qingyang estimated that the other party was at least seventy years old. Seventy is rare in life, and it is really rare for mortals to live to this age.  Seeing Qingyang, the old woman greeted: "Young man, are you tired from the journey? Come and have a cup of tea?"

    Qingyang is actually older than this old woman, but he is a cultivator and has always maintained the appearance of a young man. Although he has experienced a series of blows during this period, making him haggard and old, compared with this old woman, he is younger  much.  For the past two days, Qingyang has been very preoccupied, and he has no destination for the time being. He almost counts where he goes. Seeing that the other party invited him, he stopped, walked under the tea shed, and said, "Thank you, old lady."

    The old woman gave Qingyang to a dilapidated table, then turned around and took a large coarse porcelain bowl, sprinkled some tea powder in it, poured boiling water, and then sat down on a chair beside Qingyang,  Looking at him, he said, "I don't think you are like a scribe on an outing, nor like a merchant passing by in a hurry, nor like a farm worker who is busy making a living. You are full of thoughts along the way, and you walk aimlessly.  If you have something on your mind, can you talk to the old lady?"

    Qingyang didn¡¯t want to talk about his own affairs, so he said casually: ¡°I was just walking around and came here accidentally. I wonder where this place is?¡±

    The old woman smiled and said, "This lake is called Baishou Lake."

    Baishou Lake?  Could it be that they mean growing old together?  Seeing that the entire lake was completely white, the name was quite vivid. Qingyang asked casually: "Why is it called Baishou Lake?"

    The old woman said: "Speaking of this, there is a story. I wonder if our guests would like to hear it?"

    "I would like to hear the details." Qingyang said, there is nothing wrong anyway, so it doesn't hurt to listen.

    The old woman recalled it for a while, and then said slowly: "Many years ago, there was a village by the lake. Although there were not many families, it lived in peace and harmony. There was a young man and woman in the village. They were childhood sweethearts.  Two childhood sweethearts. Later, the two grew up and reached the age when they were talking about marriage, but the man couldn¡¯t afford the bride price from the woman¡¯s family, so the man went to a rich family to work as a long-term worker, asking the woman to wait for him for a few years, saying that he had enough savings  Once I get the money, I will come back and marry that woman.¡±

    "What happened afterwards?" Qingyang asked, he had lived in the mundane world since he was a child, and he also understood the sufferings of the world. He had heard many such things, with various endings.

    The old woman said: "The woman took this seriously, and has been waiting for the man to come back to marry her. No matter how coercive or lured her parents are, she can't change her mind. As a result, the wait is ten years. After ten years, the man sent back  He heard the news and said that he was about to save enough money, but he accidentally broke the owner¡¯s valuables and he had no money to repay, so he had to sell himself to pay off the debt.¡±

    Qingyang listened quietly, without speaking, the old woman continued: "The woman has no other choice but to lament her own life, and continue to wait for the man by the lake until he pays off his debt and comes back to marry her.  This wait lasted another ten years. In the end, the man did not come back, but only brought news that he was forced by the master's family, and had no choice but to marry the other party, even the child is several years old."

    Being forced into a wealthy family?  There is such a good thing?  This is just an excuse for his shameless behavior. Qingyang said: "Does that woman believe this?"

    The old woman didn¡¯t seem to hear Qingyang¡¯s words and was minding her own business.? Said: "Although the woman was sad, she firmly believed that the man was forced to have no choice, so she continued to wait for him by the lake. Another ten years later, the news of the man came again, saying that the rich man had passed away, and now he had taken over.  Although he had no choice but to take control of the other party's family property, there were only orphans and widows left there, so he couldn't just leave, and he couldn't let go of the property, so he had no choice but to stay there."

    Hearing this, Qingyang was too lazy to complain and listened quietly to the old woman as she continued: "In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed. Forty years have passed. The man's wife finally passed away, and the family business was passed to his son.  Finally he gave up everything and returned to the lake with his white hair to fulfill his promise. Unfortunately, his time was running out and he only lived with the woman for three days before passing away. Because of this incident in a few years, the lake later became  It was changed to Baishou Lake."

    The woman had waited for the man for forty years, but only got three days of getting along with her. And these three days might have been just the man's conscience before he died, and he came to give the woman a comfort, or to make up for his guilt, Qingyang said.  : "Didn't the woman think that this might just be a lie by the other party? There was no selling herself to pay off the debt, but the man was greedy for wealth and married into a wealthy family. Was everything he said to lie to the woman?"

    The old woman shook her head and said: "No, that woman never regretted it, because she always believed that the man liked him, and everything she did was out of necessity. Even if the man was really lying to her, it was for her own good.  , otherwise why would she wait for forty years?"

    Qingyang did not argue with the old woman and said smoothly: "I didn't expect there to be such an infatuated woman in the world. It's really admirable. But that woman's forty years of waiting only ended up with three days of being with her beloved."  , isn¡¯t this too short?¡± (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
