Chapter 17 I Send A Message With The Wind

Mu Dishi sent a golden needle into the small hole, and it opened the trap mechanism inside the cave. The ten thousand stone door slide up slowly, and Mu Dishi walked into the dark tunnel. On the wall on the right, there is a small dragon headstone. Mu Dishi pushed the small dragon headstone down, and the ten thousand stone door slowly slide down. Mu Dishi lighted a candle and kept walking until he entered the open area of ​​the cave.

He saw his Guzheng on the table and Ma Jingguo's bamboo flute next to it. He encountered the dusty guzheng, which reminded him of the past. His thoughts suddenly formed the image of Ma Jingguo. Every time he practiced the killer string technique, Ma Jingguo would play the flute to calm his mind. He continued walking and saw the dining table. At that time, Ma Jingguo will wait for him until he comes back from practice, and they will have dinner together. Every morning, Ma Jingguo also combs Mu Dishi's hair here. After Ma Jingguo combs Mu Dishi's hair, Ma Jingguo will collect Mu Dishi's falling hair. The memories of him and Ma Jingguo came to mind.

Mu Dishi, "Jingguo, why not throw them away."

Ma Jingguo, "Xiao shushu, I'm collecting them."

Mu Dishi, "For what?"

Ma Jingguo, "One day, when Xiao shushu is very away from me, and I misses xiao shushu very much, I can take a look at it." He smiled at Mu Dishi.

Mu Dishi, "Whatever."

The pond where he and Ma Jingguo once bathed is not far away from the dining table. Sometimes they would take a bath together, and Ma Jingguo would wash his back for him. He stood there looking at the pond, recalling the memories that still linger in his mind.

When he walked out of the cave, the mango tree reminded him of when he and Ma Jingguo would practice Wuming together in this lonely back mountain. Sometimes they will settle and meditated together and watch the sunset together.

He stood up, then closed his eyes, put his hands behind his back, and waited for the sun to go down.

Mu Dishi murmured, "Jingguo, I'm sorry. Someone like me doesn't deserve someone like you."

It has been two years since the last time Ma Jingguo saw Mu Dishi. He wondered, how Mu Dishi has been doing these past two years. Ma Jingguo sat alone on the edge of the cliff, watching the sun set, his sword lying on the ground beside him, holding a jar of wine in his right hand. Ma Jingguo thought that he is a decent person, but how could everyone he loves left himself to fend for himself. Ma Jingguo sat alone; his eyes wet with tears. He has been trying his best to give Mu Dishi all that he could offer, but maybe he doesn't know how to love Mu Dishi, or maybe he loves Mu Dishi too much, and his love for Mu Dishi has become something that Mu Dishi hates.

He drank his wine, and the wind blew at him. He whispered, "Can you please me send a message to xiao shushu, that I really really miss him." He felt tears flow from his face and fell stroking his hand.

When he heard footsteps approaching him, he quickly wiped away the tears. Guo Changchang walked to him and sat next to him.

Kuo Changchang, "Ah Chen, how are you feeling?"

Ma Jingguo avoided eye contact with Guo Changchang. He replied: "I'm fine. Thank you Shijie for worrying about me."

Kuo Changchang, "Ah Chen, you have been different since we came back. Tell me what you are thinking."

Ma Jingguo sighed hurtfully, "Is just that...I really want to go home, but I'm not allowed to return."

Kuo Changchang, "Your home is also here."

Ma Jingguo said with a defeated voice, "Shijie, someone told me that you and I are a perfect match. Do you think we are a perfect match?"

Kuo Changchang said jokingly, "Are you proposing?"

Ma Jingguo turned to face Guo Changchang: "Do you think we are a perfect match?"

Kuo Changchang, "What if I say yes, and then what?"

Ma Jingguo, "Shijie, do you want to get married?"

Kuo Changchang smiled, "If you ask me if I want to marry someone else, then my answer is "No". But if you ask me to marry you, then my answer is "Yes"."

Kuo Ju came from behind and said, "Then, "yes" it is."

Kuo Changchang turned around and saw Kuo Ju staring at her and Ma Jingguo. She asked, "Mother, how long have you been standing there."

Kuo Ju, "Long enough to hear the conversation between you two."

Kuo Changchang, "We are just talking."

Kuo Ju, "Don't think I don't know. You two are very close. Since Ah Chen came to the Jinfeng Sector, he has not been close to anyone except you." She smiled at Ma Jingguo and Guo Changchang. "You two don't have to worry about anything. I will arrange everything."

Two days later, a seamstress was called to take measurement of Ma Jingguo and Kuo Changchang. Later that night, Ma Jingguo sat down and wrote a letter to Monk Hao.

After he finished writing the letter, he wondered what Mu Dishi's would think when he heard the news. Will Mu Dishi continue to love just Wang Biming? Or will he rush to Jinfeng sect and hold his hand and ask him to leave with Mu Dishi? He knew that if he heard Mu Dishi is marrying someone who was not him, he would rush to take Mu Dishi away.

He didn't have much hope, but he secretly hoped that when Mu Dishi heard the news that he was going to marry the woman Mu Dishi chose for him, Mu Dishi would show up to congratulate him, and he could see Mu Dishi for the last time.

He was lying on the bed, his heart missed Mu Dishi deeply. He said quietly, "Xiao shushu, is someone like me is not good enough to deserve someone like you."
