Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1043 (One Thousand and Forty-Three)
"What?" Tie Wandao was surprised. "Is it true? I didn't say that. How could they think of going there? Did they go there on purpose to see it?" Tie Wandao asked.

"They did go to see it, but I don't know if they went there on purpose." Xiang Sibin said, "If the tribe leader hadn't told them, even if they went to see it, they wouldn't know that the stone was called the 'Strange Word Stone' by the tribe leader, let alone what happened back then. Maybe they just happened to pass by there and saw it. Although there are not many people going there usually, if people who have been there, whether they are just passing by or not, look around carefully, it is not difficult to find the word on the stone, which is normal."

"What did the people who saw it at the time say the two were doing?" Tie Wandao asked.

"People who saw it didn't know what the two were doing. They were just talking at first, then walked towards the stone with the strange character on it, talked some more, and then left together." Xiang Sibin said.

Tie Wandao said "I understand" and started talking to Xiang Sibin about other things.

Not long after, Xiang Sibin left, leaving Tie Wandao alone in the meeting room of Bakong Palace thinking about things.

He remembered that after Tie Jinqi left him, one night, he sat alone near the big rock with a whole jar of wine and a sword, recalling the time when he and Tie Jinqi once sat next to a big rock somewhere outside Tiecang Ting.

Seeing that there was no one around, he raised the jar of wine and gulped it down.

After drinking a few times, he looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon in the sky, but the light made his eyes feel uncomfortable.

Looking at the big rock beside him, he felt a chill in this not-so-cold night.

When he was a little drunk, he felt that Tie Jinqi seemed to appear beside him, but her shadow always disappeared when he wanted to talk to her, and reappeared after a while.

He remembered the joke he made with Tie Jinqi when they were sitting next to a big rock outside Tiecangting: "Believe it or not, I can carve the word '奇' on this big rock to ensure that we will never be separated." Tie Jinqi said at that time: "Then you will give the rock a name, right?"

"If it is carved, it will be named 'Strange Character Stone'." Tie Wandao said.

"It would be better to carve the word 'knife'." Tie Jin wondered.

"I originally wanted to engrave both the word '刀' and the word '奇', but I don't think it's necessary. Think about it, the word '刀' represents me anyway, so I can just engrave it myself. If I don't engrave the word '刀' on it, it will already be engraved by someone with the word '刀' in my name. If I engrave the word '刀', you might as well engrave it." Tie Wandao said. "Don't worry about whether I will really engrave it or what I want to engrave. I just want to ask you, do you believe what I say? Do you believe that if I engrave the word '奇' on it, I can guarantee that we will never be separated?"

Tie Jinqi smiled and said, "Do you think we need to carve something on the stone to guarantee it?"

"Of course I don't think so." Tie Wandao said, "You are right. Carving it will make me look like I lack confidence. I'd better not carve it."

"You were just joking just now, you didn't mean it seriously, right?" Tie Jinqi said with a smile.

"Yes, now that you are by my side, I really don't want to waste this time on engraving. I might as well concentrate on talking to you." Tie Wandao said.
