Chapter Eighty-Seven: Joy and Anger Manifest Colors
In the evening of the next day, Xiao Nan got up from meditation, straightened his clothes, and was about to go out for a walk.
There were a few "bangs" and a knock on the door.
"You?" Xiao Nan opened the door and looked at the group of people outside the door in amazement.
"Brother Xiao, when we heard that you were here, we rushed over directly, and we haven't gone home yet. Gongsun Yan's face was tired, but her words were excited.
"Come in and sit. Xiao Nan was a little dazed.
Gongsun Yan, Fan Xiao, Yao Kui, Miao Jing, Xun Qi, and Xun Yue walked into the room one after another, only Gongsun Lian was lying on a stretcher and was carefully carried in by two big men.
The shopkeeper of the inn led a few men, rearranged the tables and chairs in the room, and filled them with the best wine and food in their shop, and then respectfully said goodbye and left.
"Brother Gongsun, are your injuries okay?" Xiao Nan asked as he looked at Gongsun Lian, who was still lying on a stretcher, who was put aside.
"It's okay, I'll be raised after a while, Brother Xiao, thanks to you this time. Gongsun Lian wanted to give it up, maybe it was an injury, and he frowned.
"You can recuperate in peace, don't be polite to me. Xiao Nan smiled at him.
After the few people sitting there exchanged a few words with Xiao Nan one by one, Xiao Nan knew the reason why he was found by them.
"It seems that there are still some opportunities with them, they are strangers, they want to leave, and they have been found by them for more than two days. Xiao Nan sighed in his heart.
Xiao Nan looked around, and suddenly found that the little girl Xun Yue was sitting between Gongsun Yan and Miao Jing, with a gloomy little face, pursing her lips and staring at the teacup held in both hands, and never spoke.
"This is a good girl with a good heart. Xiao Nan thought to himself, so he asked with a peaceful smile: "Xiao Yue, your injury is almost healed." ”
Xun Yue didn't pay attention to him, just frowned slightly and pursed his lips, still looking at the teacup in his hand.
"Her injuries are not serious and heal quickly. Seeing this, Xun Qi answered, and Xiao Nan nodded.
Xun Qi saw that Xiao Nan was still looking at Xun Yue, so he explained: "She blamed Brother Xiao for saying goodbye the night before yesterday, so she was a little annoyed. ”
"What am I angry about? What does it matter to me if he walks him? The little girl suddenly raised her head, looked at Xun Qi dissatisfiedly and said, and after speaking, she lowered her eyebrows and played with the teacup in her hand, but she never looked at Xiao Nan.
"I had something to do, so I left first. Xiao Nan really couldn't find a good excuse.
"Brother Xiao, when you arrive in Anqing City, we can't let you live in the inn under any circumstances, and after eating, we will go to Gongsun's house with us. Gongsun Yan said.
Xiao Nan was about to excuse himself, but Fan Xiao also hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao, it's so decided, and then go to our Fan's house to live for a few days." ”
"What to stay for a few days, Brother Xiao can live as long as he wants, if Brother Xiao likes to be quiet, we will clean up a yard. Gongsun Yan said.
"I understand your kindness, and there is no need to bother you ....... ”
"Uncle Seven, we also live in this inn. Xun Yue suddenly said coldly to Xun Qi.
Xun Qi was stunned when she heard this, the little girl's temperament of joy and anger also made Xiao Nan feel love and pity for her.
But Xiao Nan knew his situation, at least for now, he didn't have the confidence to deal with the dangers that would arise from time to time, so he opened his mouth and looked at her delicate little face and said, "I'll leave in a few days, and it's a bit troublesome to move around." ”
"Where are you going, can't you go again after a while?" the little girl's grim face suddenly melted away with a look of loss.
Xiao Nan was speechless for a while, he really didn't want to make up some prevaricating words for this kind girl.
"Brother Xiao, no matter what, this time you have to go to our Gongsun's house to live for a while, if you don't go, several of us will also live in this inn. Gongsun Lian on the side opened his mouth angrily.
"Brother Gongsun is right, I'll find the shopkeeper to arrange the room. Fan Xiao was about to get up after speaking.
"Don't don't, let's eat, I'll go. "Xiao Nan is really not good to shirk anymore.
"Hmph," Xun Yue looked at him and snorted softly.
"Let's have a bite to eat. Xiao Nan said to her.
"I wasn't hungry, I ate some in the wagon. The unhappiness she had been frustrating in the past few days finally dissipated, and she turned her head and said to Xun Qi: "Uncle Seven, we will also go to live at Gongsun's house." ”
"Okay, let's go, Fan Xiao, you also go to our house to stay for a few days, and then send someone to your house to send a message." Gongsun Yan's mood also became cheerful.
After eating, everyone left the inn, Gongsun Lian was seriously injured, and he occupied a carriage alone.
Xiao Nan was about to step into another car, but Xun Yue stepped in front of him, and then stretched out his little hand to grab his sleeve.
He got into the car with Xun Yue and sat beside the little girl.
Gongsun Yan, Yao Kui, and Miao Jing also got into the carriage and sat on the opposite side, while Fan Xiao and Xun Qi got into the other one.
"In a few days, will you go to Xunjiabao with me to play? Don't say that you have something to do, I know you don't have anything important. Xun Yue said to Xiao Nan beside him.
"How's your recovery from the injury on your arm?" Xiao Nan didn't answer.
"I didn't think it at the time, but then it hurt a lot, but it got better quickly. After Xun Yue finished speaking, he glanced at him dissatisfiedly and said, "You haven't answered me yet." ”
"You're so childish, of course I'll have some things, and I'm just going to play all day. Of course, Xiao Nan now wants to find some interesting places to travel, but he just doesn't want to involve too many people and sophistication.
Xun Yue snorted dissatisfiedly at his answer, then his face became gloomy again, and he turned his head to look out the window with the flickering lights.
Gongsun's house is really a rich family, just like the general specifications of a city within a city, within the wall of more than a zhang high, the size of the carved beams and painted buildings stand in a patchwork, during which the pavilions and pavilions, as well as the rockery and strange stones like a ghostly axe are full of various courtyards.
Under the leadership of Gongsun Lian's father, almost all the relatives of the Gongsun family came out to greet him, Xiao Nan was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately the protagonists who were greeted by them were the Xun family.
Sitting in the living room, after a while of greetings, the guests were placed in several courtyards by the housekeeper.
Xiao Nan and Xun Qi both had separate courtyards, Xun Yue and Miao Jing lived in Gongsun Yan's boudoir, and Fan Xiao and Yao Kui lived in Gongsun Lian's courtyard.
Xiao Nan came to a small pavilion on the pond in the courtyard, and just let a few serving maids leave, when he saw the little girl coming slowly under the dim reflection of the lanterns.
Xun Yue sat down on the chair beside him without saying a word, Xiao Nan looked at her, couldn't help laughing, and was glared at viciously by the little girl.
"It's a little late, it's time for you to go to bed. Xiao Nandao.
"I'm not sleepy, I don't want to sleep, I always accidentally touch the injury on my arm when I sleep, and it hurts to death. The little girl said as she took out a wooden box.
"This is from our Xunjiabao, but it's delicious, you can taste it. She opened the box and took out a piece, handed it to Xiao Nan and said.
It is indeed extremely delicious, with a gradual glutinous softness in the mouth, and a fragrant fragrance that rushes straight to the brain.
"It was so delicious, I've never had anything like it. Xiao Nan sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"That's all I have left, I brought out a lot of them, and I've been able to eat them all the way. The little girl said with some regret.
"Enough, it's satisfying to be able to taste a piece. ”
"Whatever, this box is for you. ”
"I don't grab something to eat with the child, you eat too, you don't eat, can I eat alone?" Xiao Nan heard her subtle voice carefully swallowing her saliva.
"I also brought a lot of other pastries. ”
"Gluttonous cat. Xiao Nan's words provoked her to roll her eyes again.
"By the way, do you have stored jade? If you do, I'll give you some of these snacks. ”
Xiao Nan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No." ”
"I can give you a storage jade in the future, there are a lot of them at home, I didn't bring it. ”
"I have. Xiao Nan felt that this little girl was like a little angel, but at the same time, she felt that she was too simple, and if she met a bad person, she would be easy to suffer.
So he spoke again: "You've only known me for a few days, and you've been so heartfelt to me, what if I'm a bad person? Even if you have to give away something as precious as storing jade, you will be deceived sooner or later." ”
"I didn't see you as a bad person, did you?"
"Probably not, but I lied to you that day, I told you that I didn't cultivate, and you were very sympathetic and wanted to help me, and gave me so much food. ”
At this time, behind a big tree not far from the small pavilion, Xun Qi, who was hidden here, showed a smiling face quite easily in the dark.
"If you lie and deceive people, you are embarrassed to tell it. The little girl sneered.
"I'm trying to tell you not to trust strangers easily. ”
"Okay, I know, don't talk about this, Xiao Nan, you have nothing to do anyway, after a while, will you go to our Xunjiabao with me and Uncle Seven?"
"Who says I'm fine? I'm very low in cultivation right now, and I want to go around and practice. ”
"What's the matter? Our Xunjiabao is a good place to practice, by the way, do you send spirit stones? I can give you some now." ”
"You kid, didn't you just teach you, and you want to give things away, you have to be fooled, you have to be fooled, you have to be long-hearted. ”
"I'm kind enough to ask you, you have also taught people a lesson, whether you are a good person or not, I can't tell the difference?"
"Fortunately, I have spirit stones, otherwise I would have cheated you out of all your spirit stones. ”
Giggled, the little girl was amused by Xiao Nan's words.
Xun Qi behind the tree heard this, and floated away with confidence.
"Tell me about your Xunjiabao. Xiao Nan said.
"Will you come with us?"
"Don't be so childish. ”
"I won't talk about it, it's different from other places anyway, it's like another world. ”
"Is it dangerous?"
"You're a cultivator, and you're still afraid of danger?"
"Of course I'm afraid, that's why I want to cultivate well, the higher the level, the less danger there is. ”
"If you want to say that, then you have to find a place to hide forever, no matter how high your cultivation is, there is also danger waiting for him, my sister's cultivation is much higher than yours, and she is not often injured. ”
The little girl's words shocked Xiao Nan, everything in his original world was so peaceful and stable, and after coming to this world, there were constant dangers.
He wants to integrate into this world, but he uses the method of avoidance, and what he wants to avoid is the essence of this world.
"I didn't expect the person who woke me up to be this child. Xiao Nan thought to himself, he didn't feel ashamed, after all, he had only been here for two or three years.
Seeing Xiao Nan looking at him blankly, Xun Yue spoke again: "My sister said that the current sect masters of the four major sects are already the strongest cultivators in the Chongyang Continent, but they have all come through countless life and death experiences. ”
Xiao Nan looked at Xun Yue, who was generally a little adult, and couldn't help grinning.
"What are you laughing at, I'm not right?"
"That's right, it all ignited me, really. Xiao Nan spoke very seriously, then looked at the starry sky outside the pavilion, and then turned his gaze back to look at her, under the soft light of the red lantern, her originally golden soft hair looked more and more dazzling.
"You've got the most beautiful hair, okay, it's late, go back and rest. ”
"Well, you can touch my hair. The little girl suddenly turned her back and showed Xiao Nan her long shawl hair.
Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, but still reached out and gently pulled up the silk-like smooth hair, and then let it slowly slide down her palm and spread it over her shoulders again.
Xun Yue left, and Xiao Nan returned to the bedroom. In the quiet night, his heart was also filled with the brightness and comfort of a clear spring washing.
