When he found the money shopkeeper in the restaurant where he was very familiar with Liluo, the old man with the long white beard was still touching his beard and smiling on the stage to tell the story of the encounter between the current Emperor Zhongli and the noble concubine.

The amount of Liluoyuan itself is small, and I used to sneak here almost every day, so I am very familiar with this place. After quietly looking at it for a while, he sneaked directly to the backstage and hid behind the cabinet.

Along the way, she met a lot of people, and watching the conversation between them, she knew that it was not only the City Lord's Mansion that erased and changed her memory, but also the entire city.

She didn't dare to let the money shopkeeper see her, if she was known by the people in the house like in the past, she didn't know how to face it now. And......

She secretly peeked out a pair of almond eyes from behind the cabinet and looked at the chubby old man on the stage......

Just wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and that's it.

Gu Mingtong slowly walked down from the stage with square steps, straightened the somewhat loose jade crown, coughed lowly, listened to the non-stop discussions of the audience, nodded slightly with a smile, and turned into the backstage compartment with satisfaction.

This is the shopkeeper's compartment specially prepared for him, and he needs to rest well when he is older.

Gu Mingtong touched his beard, and he gladly accepted the kindness of the money shopkeeper. Originally, there were few strange things in this world that he didn't know, and he only occasionally came on stage every day to say this, and he could get so much money every month, and such treatment, I have to say that he is still very satisfied.

Thinking of this, Gu Mingtong showed a slight smugness, sat at the square table with mahogany carved inlays, reached out and picked up the purple clay pot on the table and poured a cup of tea for himself, but as soon as the teacup was handed to his mouth, he was scared and choked before he could drink two sips.

"Little, ahem, little girl, why are you here? Gu Mingtong was choked and couldn't breathe.

Liluo hurriedly smiled flatteringly and stepped forward to pat the old man's back: "Grandpa Gu, I'm here to listen to you." ”

"Storytelling?!You girl sneaking out again?!"

Gu Ming's eyebrows trembled with anger, every time this girl sneaked out, the City Lord's Mansion was a good battle, thinking of that scene, he only felt that the breath he had choked on his chest before, and he was in pain. Finally relieved herself, looking at the little girl with clear eyes and very bright, she couldn't get angry for a while, her heart was full of helplessness, and she waved her hand, "I just finished speaking, I can't listen to it today, you go home quickly." ”

"Grandpa Gu, I don't want to hear about Emperor Zhongli, I want to hear you say something else. Liluo quickly moved a stool, climbed up, smiled, and was very familiar, "Let's talk about immortals!"

"Immortals?" Gu Mingtong heard this, his eyebrows jumped again, and he looked at the little girl sitting upright in front of him, with a respectful expression of "you speak, I listen", and was stunned, "Who is going to speak?" ”

"Grandpa Gu, just talk about it, only Grandpa Gu knows the most about this city, the last time you spoke, I only listened to half of it, and I was taken back, you can talk about it again!" A little face was full of pleading, pulling the old man's sleeve and not letting go.

Gu Mingtong's face was full of helplessness, paused, and sighed, "Girl, even if I tell you a story, I can't tell you about immortals." ”

"Why can't you?" was stunned for a moment, could it be that something had happened in between? Could this memory have also been erased?

Fortunately, Gu Mingtong's answer made her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Someone warned me that in the world, you must not speak, you must not talk nonsense, and if you don't speak strangely, what can I do?"

"But, Grandpa Gu, you don't have nonsense! Maybe there are really immortals in this world?" Liluo said as he looked closely at Gu Mingtong's eyes, "Who doesn't let Grandpa Gu say it?" ”

"Girl, these are all passed down from generation to generation by the old man's ancestors, but it can't be said to be nonsense. Gu Mingtong sighed, "But after all, after so many years, it may have already been false." I'm afraid that's why that person ......"

Gu Mingtong paused, frowned and did not speak.

Why he suddenly couldn't remember the man's name for a while?

He couldn't help but knock his fingers on his head, he should have remembered, how could such a person forget? But why can't he remember it for a while, could it be that he is really old?

Liluo, who had been closely observing, chuckled in his heart.

Grandpa Gu can export chapters, and he must not be a person who can't even remember his name. This situation made her think of something unusual. I am afraid that the most likely possibility is that when she once heard about the book, her father came here to warn Grandpa Gu. And now that they are gone, they have erased their memories, so Grandpa Gu only remembers that someone had warned him, but he does not remember who it was.

However, he could have his father come and warn him not to speak......

Then it must be true.

Thinking of this, Liluo's eyes lit up, looking at Gu Mingtong who was still frowning and wondering, and hurriedly called affectionately: "Grandpa Gu, just say come and listen! Anyway, I'm just listening and playing, what is there to avoid?"

Gu Mingtong looked at the sweet and fragrant teacup in his hand, and then looked at the little girl who was looking at him in front of him, and sighed, "Then let's talk about it, I'll tell you a story, and after you finish listening, hurry home, okay?"

"Good, good. The crescent moon with smiling eyes nodded obediently.

Gu Mingtong glared at Liluo slightly, made another cup of tea, thought about it, took some snacks again, put them in front of her, and got Liluo's even more dog-legged smile.

"Many, many years ago, there were countless cities on this land under our feet. These cities...... Attached to the family, attached to the individual and established, there was no emperor at that time, let alone Zhongli Kingdom, because there were many people everywhere, and no one could rule this land on their own. ”

"A capable person?" asked Liluo, tilting his head, "Is it a person with extensive knowledge and a high level in his chest?" or a person with excellent martial arts?"

"No, neither. ”

Gu Mingtong looked at Liluo seriously, as if to prove that what he said was true, word by word, and said loudly: "These capable people are all immortals. ”

"Is it really a fairy?" Liluo couldn't help but ask.

"Calling for wind and rain, driving away evil spirits and diseases, resisting the wind with emptiness, and not fearing life and death. What is it if it's not an immortal?"

Liluo didn't speak again. She always felt that the gods should be much more than that.

Seeing the solemn appearance of the little face, Gu Mingtong thought that Liluo had listened to his words, and stroked his long white beard with great satisfaction, and continued, "The scenery at that time was extremely beautiful, and life was extremely healthy. Until one day, people found a strange place in the sea of clouds. Speaking of this sea of clouds, in the northeast of the mainland, the blue sea and blue sky all day long, the breeze caresses, many people are willing to live there, coupled with the abundance of seafood, it has attracted a lot of fishermen. However, in such a place, whether it is a fisherman or those immortal powers, they only dare to operate in the sea of clouds, because its interior is different from the vast smoke waves of the sea, as far as the eye can see, where the white mist is swirling, permeating the heavens and the earth, whether it is close to people or animals, these white mist are like life-like things, strange flow over, surround it, until it disappears, as if it has been swallowed. Suddenly, one day, all this white fog disappeared. At first, people did not dare to approach, but then some bold people organized themselves and went inside, and found that not only was the white fog gone, but what was even more strange was that there seemed to be a small island in the distance. After they discussed, they climbed up, but they found that this island was like a fairyland, with a mountain, a water, a grass, and a tree on it, all shrouded in a shallow white mist, and there was a faint and refreshing fragrance that came from nowhere, which made people feel broad-minded and extremely comfortable. After that, gradually, people began to move to that island, and many immortals also found that it was more suitable for them to live, so they also flew over. ”

"Although the island was called an island, it was later discovered that it was not only vast and rich, comparable to the mainland at its feet, but also had a pleasant environment and a peculiar of its own. In addition, the people who disappeared in the fog before were found on the island in twos and threes, and the misunderstanding was resolved for a while, and the surrounding scenery was picturesque, so people simply called it Ruxian Island. ”

"Since it's as good as Immortal Island, has everyone moved over?" asked Liluo, nibbling on chestnuts in his small mouth, curiously.

Gu Mingtong shook his head, "It's good, it's good, it's good, but it's not as good as your own home after all." From the power of the gods to the ordinary people, many people have moved to the island, but there are also many people who have stayed here. There are even those who have rich families, so they simply have mansions in both places, running back and forth. ”

"Isn't that great? It's like the emperor's palace, the palace of the eunuchs. Liluo thought for a moment.

"yes. Gu Mingtong sighed, "It was originally a good thing, but unexpectedly, a change in the sea of clouds for five thousand years was ruined by life......

Ruined?

The chestnut that had fallen from the ground was halfway through the gnawing and stopped.

If she remembers correctly, the evil sea that Grandpa Gu said last time also seems to be in the northeast direction, is it possible......

As if to verify her conjecture, Gu Mingtong then sighed leisurely: "The evil sea mentioned that time is actually the sea of clouds. Strange to say, Ruxian Island has existed unharmed for many years, but 5,000 years ago, the sea of clouds between Ruxian Island and the mainland was shrouded in clouds and mist again. It's just that this time it's not as good as the white fog last time, it doesn't hurt your life, but a thick black fog, the dark tide is surging inside, and there are even all kinds of strange beasts infested, hidden in the black fog. Before the person got close, he rolled away, different from the previous disappearance, it was directly splashed with blood on the spot, I am afraid that it will be eaten alive by these monsters!"

It was originally something hidden in my heart, but when I said it again, I still had some heart palpitations. Gu Mingtong hurriedly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea to suppress the shock, and heard the little girl next to him say very worriedly.

"If it's so vicious, what about the fairy island surrounded by the sea, there are so many people there. ”

Gu Mingtong was silent until the middle of the night, and the old man's voice was a little hoarse, "Those old men don't know, they just know that since then, no one has ever come out of Ruxian Island." Moreover, our land has gradually changed its appearance, and the original exquisite and gorgeous, and the flowers have all been reduced to normal. And those immortals who live long and are well-being...... They also fell early one after another......"

The chestnut meat in his hand had already been crushed by a little nervous detachment, but there was no expression on his face, as if he was scared stupid.

Seeing such a look, Gu Mingtong, who was relieved, secretly regretted that he would be so undisguised and scare a little girl. When this girl seemed to come back to her senses, Gu Mingtong paused, her tone was solemn, she looked at Liluo, and was quite serious, "Girl, the old man only knows a little about these things, or the secret that the ancestors heard when they entered the palace, and now the world has long been ignorant." Although the old man said that he was a book, it has always been true and false, and he has been up to the point, just to make everyone happy. The old man has no children and no apprentices, and if he doesn't talk about these things, I'm afraid that sooner or later he will disappear from the world. You girl is young, but she loves to make trouble, come to the old man to listen to the play, the old man is happy for a while, and he is unwilling to tell you for a while. But the old man thought about it now, and although he didn't remember who the person he had warned was, those words were correct. Girl, the old man knows that you are eccentric, but you have heard these secret legends in your heart, but don't tell them to others, lest trouble come out of your mouth!"

"Grandpa Gu, don't worry, these words will not be spoken, so I have the right to listen to a fresh script here here today. If you hear it, you won't pay attention to it. Liluo got up and respectfully brought the tea to Gu Mingtong, "Grandpa Gu uses some tea and has a good rest." ”

Nowadays, few people in the world believe in the existence of gods and gods.

Therefore, it can be seen how secret such secrets are.

Gu Mingtong told her all this, and included advice, and she should make a guarantee to him if she was reasonable.

"Don't go back too late, and worry your family. Gu Mingtong stroked his forehead and waved his hand helplessly. He had just said those words, and he didn't know how far a five-year-old child could remember, but even if he occasionally slipped through his mouth, Tong Yan Wuji should be fine.

Here, Gu Mingtong was quite upset and lay on the soft collapse of the compartment with his eyes closed, and over there, Liluo also ran out of the restaurant familiarly, no one found it, until he was away from the restaurant for a while, then he shook his figure on the street, pretending to sneak on the street.

She still has to go back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Green Sprouts are just taking medicine, and they may have already discovered that she was not there.

Remembering what Ping'er's sister said when she first woke up, as well as what Grandpa Gu said, I think that although the memories of leaving the city have changed, some of them still haven't changed.

For example, she loves to sneak out of the house.

She should still be found on the street by the people of the mansion at this moment, as she used to be, this is the most appropriate.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth curled up and wanted to make a smile, but she couldn't laugh.

She still remembers that every time her father blackened his face and pretended to be fierce and vicious to carry her home, no matter how big her temper was, her mother was relieved, and she was less seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

At that time, she always loved to be coquettish in front of her mother, let her father frown tightly, and the next day, she couldn't move again, and tried to sneak out of the house.

Who would have thought that there would be such a day, her gentle and considerate mother and her fierce and introverted father would abandon her.

The long eyelashes drooped, hiding the coolness in the eyes.

Grandpa Gu said that he didn't know about the fairy island, but listening to the conversation between his mother and them and Steward Zhang, she had a faint guess in her heart. I'm afraid that this is still the same as it was five thousand years ago, or even worse.

Were her mother and father there?

What would they do if one day they saw their daughter, who was supposed to be a cabinet minister, suddenly appear before them?

The little hand that fell off tightly pinched the sachet on the side of his waist until he silently let go of his hand, and his hands were covered with sweat.

"Aunt Wu!"

It was already some days, and Aunt Wu was packing up the board, ready to rest, waiting for her family to bring her food and change people, when she saw a petite and lovely little girl running out of nowhere, calling her affectionately, looking at her with black eyes, and smiling at her.

"Little Miss...... Why are you here?" Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment, looked at the meat crumbs and oil stains on the board, and then looked at the little man in front of her with pink makeup and jade makeup, and her skin was like snow, she subconsciously wiped it with a cloth and replied.

……

"Luo'er, you see that your illness has just begun to recover, so you ran out like this, so the people here are simple, if one day, something happens to you, what should you do if you are called a mother?" The woman in a red dress had red eyes, and the corners of her eyes were a little moist.

Liluo, who was sitting on the bed, lowered his head, didn't speak for a long time, and his lips squirmed for a long time before he said, "I won't be next time, mother." ”

As if she had figured out something, and as if she was not stubborn about anything, after finishing speaking, her tense body suddenly relaxed, and her small body, with her head down, looked more and more pitiful.

"You. Mrs. Li smiled lovingly and helplessly, touched Liluo's head, and wrapped her in her arms, "Don't do this next time, otherwise my mother will be really angry." ”

"Hmm. "Thick nasal.

Seeing that the corners of her daughter's eyes were also red, thinking of the guilt that only she was afraid of being sensible, Mrs. Li felt pity and relief in her heart, and her loving eyes were even more at the moment, so she gently instructed and fed the medicine before leaving.

Liluo looked at the closed door in a daze, and was in a trance for a while.

If she stays here, as long as she doesn't think about it and doesn't mind, she can still have a father and mother who treat her like a pearl.

Otherwise, there is only one person......

I'm scared.

Remembering that I met the aunt of the Wu family who was selling pork at noon today, the ghost reminded me of the last time I listened to Grandpa Gu tell a story in the restaurant. Obviously she already knew the result, but she still couldn't resist asking her.

"Immortals?" Aunt Wu looked at the cute and well-behaved little girl in front of her and asked seriously, laughed for a while, and then returned indifferently: "If there are immortals in this world, then it must be those immortals and Taoists around the emperor." ”

She remembered Aunt Wu's previous answer.

Because it was her dearest mother and father, for the praise of others, she always pretended to be calm with a strong face, and on the other hand, she was honored and related in her heart.

But in an instant, the answer turned upside down.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hug the hand stove that was originally placed on the table, wanting to draw the slightest warmth from it, but for a while, her hands and feet were still cold.

It's just a child, but the thoughts in his eyes have turned into ink.

Long.

There was a soft sigh from the bed.

Liluo put down the hand stove, turned sideways, turned his back to the tent, and closed his eyes.

She couldn't.

I can't think of everything I used to have as a child as a shallow dream in the afternoon.

can't accept the Li family's love for her like a family member with peace of mind.

She's leaving, getting out of here.
