Chapter 24: One Bed
The barley came up green on the day they made their vows.
It stood in the fields around Lantern Ford up to a farmer's knee, and the spring ran loud and cold under the old stone basin.
Every sect in the valley had come to see it.
They stood on the green in the sun, the gray monks and the river sect and the northern men.
Cloudpeak stood in white and Redcliff in red, and a thousand villagers pressed in around them in their patched blue.
At the edge of the crowd a man in a gray smock was digging a well.
It was his ninth.
He had dug them all with his own hands since the sects' judgment, with two monks to watch him and no jade on his thumbs.
Hua Boyan did not look up.
Pei Zhongyi was in the Frost Cell, and the elders had not yet said when he would come out.
Nobody missed him.
The gate warden stood on her upturned bucket at the head of the green with the bell in her fist.
"I'm retired," she said. "This is the last thing I'll do for the Gate. After that I'm going to sit in the sun."
She handed the bell to the headman.
He took it.
"Fang Jinghan," she said. "Luo Yanchen. Come here."
They came.
Luo had put on the black and ember robe with the gold at the cuffs.
He wore his braid loose over one shoulder, the white streak bright in it.
Jinghan wore Cloudpeak white and sky blue, with a new ribbon in his hair.
Su Ning had given it to him on the road, rolled in a twist of paper.
"It was in the kit," she said. "It's a very good ribbon. Don't ask."
"There's no seal," said the warden. "There's no demon. There's nothing to bind you to each other."
