When Lan Wangji returned, Wei Wuxian had already counted more than three hundred.

"One thousand three hundred and sixty-nine, one thousand three hundred and seventy, one thousand three hundred and seventy-one......"

He lifted his leg one by one, and the colorful shuttlecock flew between his feet, soaring into the sky, falling steadily, and then flying higher, falling leisurely, as if there was an invisible thread connecting it, so that it would never detach itself from a part of Wei Wuxian's body.

At the same time, there is an invisible thread, tightly holding the eyes of many children on the side.

Then he heard Wei Wuxian say, "One thousand three hundred and seventy-two, one thousand three hundred and eighty-one......"

Lan Wangji: "......"

In the longing eyes of the children, Wei Wuxian was so blatantly deceitful. And this is so large that the children who smoke snot have lost their judgment, and none of them have noticed that it is wrong. Lan Wangji watched Wei Wuxian jump from seventy-two to eighty-one, and then from eighty-one to ninety, and was about to take the next leap, when Wei Wuxian happened to see him, his eyes lit up, as if he was about to open his mouth to call him, but he didn't get it right, and the bright and dazzling shuttlecock flew over his head and fell behind Wei Wuxian.

He caught a glimpse of the shuttlecock and kicked it back, rescuing it with his heels. This last kick was the highest, accompanied by a loud "1,600!" that caused the children on the side to exclaim in amazement, riveting and clapping desperately.

The whole situation was decided, and a little girl screamed, "Sixteen hundred! He won, you lose!"

Wei Wuxian was not ashamed, and he accepted it peacefully, and he was in high spirits. Lan Wangji also raised his hand and slapped it a few times.

At this time, a boy bit his finger, his brow furrowed into a pimple, and said, "I think...... Wrong. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "What's wrong?"

The boy said, "After ninety, why did it suddenly become a hundred? ”

The group of children seemed to be divided into two groups, one group was obviously completely poisoned by Wei Wuxian, and coaxed: "How come, you don't want to lose and think about Laipi." ”

Wei Wuxian also theorized: "Why is the back of ninety not a hundred? You count it yourself, what is behind nine?"

The boy counted his fingers for a long time, and said, "...... Seven, eight, nine, ten......"

Wei Wuxian immediately said, "Look, after nine is ten, and after ninety, it must be one hundred." ”

The boy was skeptical and said, "...... Really, isn't it??"

Wei Wuxian said, "Why not? I don't believe it, let's just find a passer-by and ask." ”

He looked around, slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, I found it." This seems to be a very reliable son, please stay!"

“……”

Lan Wangji stayed: "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Wuxian said, "I don't know, can I ask you a question?"

Lan Wangji said: "It's okay. ”

So Wei Wuxian said, "Excuse me, what is the back of ninety?"

Lan Wangji said: "One hundred." ”

Wei Wuxian arched his hand: "There is labor." ”

Lan Wangji bowed: "You're welcome." ”

Wei Wuxian smiled and nodded, turned to the boy and said, "Look." ”

The boy didn't believe Wei Wuxian who was smiling evilly, but when he looked at Lan Wangji, this boy was dressed in plain clothes like snow, with a sword pendant and jade, and his face was handsome and not like a real person, like a fairy god, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe, and a wavering heart was immediately convinced, and he muttered: "Is this how it is counted......

The children chattered: "One thousand six hundred against three hundred, you lost!"

The boy was unconvinced: "If you lose, you lose." As he spoke, he handed Wei Wuxian a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, and said loudly, "You won!"

When the group of children walked away, Wei Wuxian took the rock sugar gourd in his mouth and said, "Hanguang-kun, you give me face." ”

Lan Wangji walked up to him and said, "I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Wei Wuxian shook his head and said, "Soon, soon, you will leave for a long time." I will kick the shuttlecock more than 300 times. ”

Lan Wangji said: "One thousand six hundred." ”

Wei Wuxian laughed out loud and bit down a hawthorn. Before Lan Wangji could speak, suddenly his lips were cold and his tongue was sweet, but it was Wei Wuxian who stuffed the string of rock sugar gourds into his mouth.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Wei Wuxian said, "Do you eat sweet?"

Lan Wangji held the string of rock sugar gourds in his mouth, neither swallowing, nor spitting, unable to speak. Wei Wuxian said, "If you don't eat sweet, then give it to me." He grabbed the thin rod of the sugar gourd and tried to get it back, but he couldn't get it back. It seems that Lan Wangji bit it with his teeth. Wei Wuxian said, "Are you going to eat this, or are you not going to eat?"

Lan Wangji also bit a hawthorn and said, "Eat." ”

Wei Wuxian said: "That's right, you can say it if you want to eat." You have really been like this since you were a child, what you want, hold it in your heart, but don't say it. ”

Laughing at him for a while, the two of them walked into town.

Wei Wuxian is a fun-loving and greedy person who has been shopping since he was a child, running fast, and wanting everything. When he sees a gadget, he must pinch it, and when he smells the smell of smoke wafting from the roadside, he must get some of it. At his instigation, Lan Wangji also tried some snacks that he would never touch before, and every time Wei Wuxian watched him finish eating, he had to ask, "How is it?" Lan Wangji sometimes replied "Fair", sometimes "very good", and more often "strange". Whenever this happens, Wei Wuxian would laugh and snatch it back, not giving him a taste.

Originally, they were looking for a place to have lunch, but Wei Wuxian ate all the way from west to east, stuffed his stomach, and finally walked lazily, so the two of them found a clean and decent soup restaurant and sat down to drink soup.

Wei Wuxian was eating and playing with the radish slices with his chopsticks, and when he saw Lan Wangji get up, he said curiously, "What are you doing?"

Lan Wangji said: "Wait, I'll be back immediately." "I left for a while, and sure enough, I came back. Just as the lotus root pork rib soup was also served, Wei Wuxian took a sip, and when the guy left, he quietly said to Lan Wangji, "It's not delicious." ”

Lan Wangji scooped a small spoonful, tasted it, and said, "What's wrong?"

Wei Wuxian stirred the spoon in the bowl and said, "You can't choose a hard lotus root, it's better to have a little powder." This is not bold enough, and it is too shallow to boil and it does not taste. Anyway, it's not as good as my sister's boiling. ”

He just said casually, thinking that Lan Wangji would listen carefully with the most "um", but who knew that he not only listened carefully, but also asked: "How to choose the right ingredients, how to get the flavor." ”

Wei Wuxian finally sensed something, and said strangely: "Hanguang-jun, don't you want to make me lotus root pork rib soup?

Lan Wangji hadn't answered yet, he had already laughed: "Haha Hanguang-jun, it's not that I look down on you, just your family's ten-finger style that doesn't touch the spring water, and the taste raised from snacks, the things you make must not be able to look at it." ”

Lan Wangji took another sip of soup, noncommittal. Wei Wuxian was waiting for him to pick up, but who knew that he was as steady as Mount Tai, and he didn't take it for a long time, and finally couldn't wait.

He looked at his face and said, "Lan Zhan, did you really mean to cook for me just now?"

Lan Wangji was actually very calm, not saying "yes" or "no".

Wei Wuxian was a little anxious, and stood up all of a sudden, propped his hands on the corner of the table, and said, "You hmm." ”

Lan Wangji said: "Hmm." ”

Wei Wuxian said: "So what is it all about Lan Zhan, what I just said is all for you to play, you really want to cook for me, even if the bottom of the pot is burned through and there is only a pit left, I dare to eat the pot to show you." ”

“……”

Lan Wangji said: "No." ”

Wei Wuxian almost jumped on him and begged: "So you still can't do it, do it, do it, Hanguangjun, I'll eat!"

Lan Wangji quietly held his waist and said, "Manners." ”

Wei Wuxian warned, "Second brother, you can't do this to me. ”

Lan Wangji finally couldn't hold him steady anymore, held his hand and said, "I've already done it." ”

"Huh?" Wei Wuxian was stunned, "has you done it yet, when, what did you do, why don't I remember?"

Lan Wangji said: "Family banquet." ”

"......" Wei Wuxian said, "That night, I thought you bought the table from that Hunan restaurant in Caiyi Town, and you made it yourself?"

Lan Wangji said: "Hmm." ”

Wei Wuxian was shocked.

He said, "That's what you did?"

“…… Naturally, there is. ”

"You wash and cut vegetables? You put oil in the pot? Do you serve condiments?"

"Hmm. ”

"You...... You ......"

Wei Wuxian was so shocked that he finally grabbed Lan Wangji's collar with one hand and grabbed his neck with the other, and kissed him violently.

Fortunately, the two of them have always chosen the most inconspicuous and secluded place to sit against the wall. Lan Wangji put his arms around him for a moment, so that from an outsider's view, they could only see his back and one of Wei Wuxian's arms around his neck.

Seeing that his face was not red and out of breath, Wei Wuxian reached out and touched it, and sure enough, the tentacles were hot. Lan Wangji took his restless hand and warned, "Wei Ying. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Isn't this on your lap, what are you shouting?" ”

“……”

Wei Wuxian said solemnly, "I'm sorry, I was so happy just now. Lan Zhan, how can you be so good at everything, even so good at cooking!"

He praised it sincerely, Lan Wangji had heard countless praises and countless words of praise since he was a child, but there was never a sentence that made him like now, to suppress the tendency of the corners of his mouth to rise so hard, and only said lightly: "It's not very difficult." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "No." It's tough, you don't know how many times I've been blasted out of the kitchen since I was a child. ”

"......" Lan Wangji said, "Have you burned through the bottom of the pot?" ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Just once." I forgot to add water, who knew the pot would catch fire. Don't look at me like that, really just once. ”

Lan Wangji said, "You put something in the pot." ”

Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said with a smile: "How can I still remember the events of so many years ago, don't mention it again." ”

Lan Wangji was noncommittal, but seemed to raise his eyebrows slightly. Wei Wuxian pretended not to notice his subtle expression. Suddenly, he remembered something, and he threw his hand in remorse, "But why didn't you tell me earlier that you did it?" ”

Lan Wangji said: "It's nothing. Go back and do it again. ”

Wei Wuxian had been grinding him for a long time, and because of this sentence, his eyebrows fluttered, and he didn't even feel that the soup was unpleasant.

Out of the restaurant, the two of them walked around for a while, and there was a noise in front of them, and many people were throwing small circles on the ground one by one around a place full of small objects.

Wei Wuxian said, "This is good. Pulling Lan Wangji, he took over the three circles from the stall owner on the side, and said, "Lan Zhan, have you ever lost the circle?"

Lan Wangji shook his head, and Wei Wuxian said, "I haven't played this before." I'll tell you, it's very simple, you take this circle, retreat a distance, put on the ground, and if you hit it, it's yours. ”

Lan Wangji repeated: "It's mine if you hit it." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "That's it. Which do you want? Which do you want? ”

Lan Wangji said: "Feel free." ”

Wei Wuxian put his elbow on his shoulder, tugged his forehead tail, and said, "Hanguang-jun is perfunctory to me like this, it's a bit faceless." ”

Lan Wangji said seriously: "What do you want, what do I want." ”

Wei Wuxian was stunned and said, "You are a person who is in a large court, why is this like this?"

Lan Wangji was puzzled: "What." ”

Wei Wuxian: "You tease me." ”

Lan Wangji looked calm and said, "No." ”

Wei Wuxian: "You have! Okay, then I'll set it for you...... That, that's it!"

He was referring to a large porcelain white turtle that was placed far away, and as he spoke, he took a few steps back. Retreating to a foot away, the stall owner shouted, gesticulating: "It's okay, it's okay!"

Wei Wuxian said, "No, no. ”

The stall owner shouted: "Childe, you are standing too far away, so you can't lose it, don't rely on me for money when the time comes!"

Wei Wuxian said: "I don't stand far away, you should be careful that you will lose all your money when the time comes!"

Everyone laughed and said, "This son is very confident!"

A small trick seems simple, but there is a distance between everything on the ground, and the control of the force is not difficult for ordinary people. But for cultivators, it's really not worth mentioning, if you don't retreat far, what's the fun of that? Wei Wuxian retreated from the distance, and turned his back to the stall, and the others laughed even more. Who knew that the next moment, Wei Wuxian swept the circle, and with a backhand throw, the circle easily landed on the porcelain turtle's back shell, just lassoning its head.

The stall owner and everyone were stunned, Wei Wuxian looked back, smiled, and raised the remaining two circles in his hand to Lan Wangji, and said, "Do you want to try it?"

Lan Wangji said: "Okay." ”

He walked up to Wei Wuxian and said, "What do you want?" ”

There will be no high-quality things in the small business on the street, they are all gadgets that are well made and look good from a distance, and the big porcelain turtle that Wei Wuxian set just now is already the best-looking in it. Wei Wuxian looked around, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that in fact, all of them were ugly, and he didn't want any of them, so it was difficult to choose. Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a very ugly little donkey puppet, which was so ugly that it was impossible to ignore it at a glance, and said happily: "That's good, like a little apple, come on, come on, that." ”

Lan Wangji nodded, retreated a little more than Wei Wuxian, and also turned around. The circle was unmistakably struck.

The crowd applauded and clapped their hands desperately. Lan Wangji looked back at Wei Wuxian, he laughed and jumped into the stall, grabbed the little donkey on the ground, sandwiched it under his arm, slapped it hardest, and said, "Come again!"

Lan Wangji also had a circle in his hand, he took it in his hand, and gently and steadily slapped it twice, this time, he threw it back for a while, and immediately turned around to check.

He made a move, and there was an "ouch" sound all around, it turned out that the circle flew so crookedly that he didn't even touch the edge of the stall, but it was impartial, and fell on Wei Wuxian, trapping him.

Wei Wuxian was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing. Although everyone felt pity, they all opened their mouths to comfort: "That's good!" "Yes, there are several in the set." "It's amazing!"

The stall owner rolled his eyes very happily, breathed a sigh of relief, jumped up and gave a thumbs up: "Yes, that's amazing." Childe is telling the truth, give you a few more sets, and I will lose all my money!"

Wei Wuxian smiled: "Okay, I know you don't dare to let us play, let's have enough fun, yes or no?" Lan Zhan, let's go." ”

The stall owner said happily: "Go slowly." ”

It wasn't until the two of them walked side by side and disappeared into the bustling crowd that he suddenly remembered: "The third circle! They didn't give it back to me!!"

Wei Wuxian held the turtle in his left hand and the donkey in his right hand, walked out for a while, and said, "Lan Zhan, why didn't I find out before, you have so much thought?"

Lan Wangji took the heavy porcelain turtle from his hand, and Wei Wuxian took the circle off his neck and put it on his head, saying, "Don't pretend you don't understand what I'm saying. I know you did it on purpose. ”

Lan Wangji held the big porcelain turtle with one hand and said, "This, where is it when you go back." ”

Wei Wuxian was really asked by him.

This turtle is big and heavy, and the craftsmanship is really not very good, and it looks like a stupid head, barely touching a cute side. But Wei Wuxian took a closer look and found that the craftsman was very careless, and a pair of mung bean eyes seemed to be cross-eyed. All in all, no matter how you look at it, it is incompatible with Yun Shen's unknown place. Where to put it is really a question.

Wei Wuxian thought for a moment and said, "Quiet room?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shook his head again and again, vetoed himself, and said: "The quiet room is only suitable for playing the piano and burning incense, such a place with a pure heart curling with sandalwood smoke, it is too ugly to put such a big Wang Ba." ”

Lan Wangji heard him say that the quiet room was "only suitable for playing the piano and burning incense", Lan Wangji glanced at him, and seemed to stop talking.

Wei Wuxian said again: "But if you don't put it in the quiet room, and put it somewhere else in Yunshen, you will definitely be thrown out immediately." ”

Lan Wangji nodded silently.

Wei Wuxian held back for a long time, and finally he was embarrassed to say, "Secretly put it in your uncle's room, don't say that we did it", patted his thigh, and said, "There is." Let's put it in the orchid room. ”

Lan Wangji thought for a moment and asked, "Why is it Lan Room?" ”

Wei Wuxian said, "You don't understand this. Put it in the orchid room, when you give a lecture to Si Chai Jingyi and them, if you are asked, you can tell them that this big king eight is specially to commemorate the killing and slaughter of Xuanwu back then, and invited an uninhibited craftsman who saw the head and the end of the dragon to customize it himself. It has a great and far-reaching meaning, and it is intended to inspire the children of your Gusu Lan clan to look up to the heroic posture of their predecessors and work hard. Although the slaughter of Xuanwu is gone, there must be a killing of Vermilion Birds, violent slaughter of White Tigers, and blood slaughter of Qinglong and the like waiting for them in the future, and they must make a great cause that surpasses their predecessors and shocks the earth. ”

“……”

"How?"

After a while, Lan Wangji said, "Very good." ”

So, after a few days, when Lan Sichai, Lan Jingyi and others were under the guidance of Hanguangjun, as soon as they looked up, they would see a large porcelain turtle with rough craftsmanship and dull eyes lying on the bookcase behind Lan Wang's fuselage.

And out of some inexplicable shock, no one dared to ask why it was there. I won't talk about that later......

put a few pieces of loot into the sleeves of Qiankun, and the two of them successfully retired.

Before coming, Wei Wuxian had blown Lan Wangji about the beautiful scenery of Yunmeng Baili Lotus Lake for a long time, and naturally dragged him to the lake. He wanted to get a painting boat to be arrogant and lascivious, but after looking for a long time, there was only a very small wooden boat tied to the lake, moored on the water, as if a person would sink into the water with a slight step, and the two big men seemed to be a little reluctant, but there was no other choice.

Wei Wuxian said: "You sit on this end, I sit on the other side, sit firmly but don't shake around, if you are not careful, the boat will capsize." ”

Lan Wangji said: "It's okay, I'll save you if you fall into the water." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "You said this as if I couldn't swim in the water. ”

The boat brushed the huge and fat lotus flowers, all of which were full of pink. Wei Wuxian lay on the boat, his arms on his back. Because the boat was so small, his legs were almost resting on Lan Wang's fuselage. Lan Wangji didn't say anything about this kind of unscrupulous and unruly behavior.

The lake is breezy and the flowing water is quiet. Wei Wuxian said: "This is the season of lotus flowers. It's a pity that the lotus pod is not ripe yet, otherwise I can take you to pick the lotus pod again. ”

Lan Wangji said: "You can come again." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Yes! ”

After shaking the oars a few times, Wei Wuxian looked at a place for a while, and said, "The old man who used to grow lotus pods in this area seems to be gone. ”

Lan Wangji said: "Hmm." ”

Wei Wuxian said: "He was very old when I was a child, and now more than ten years have passed, if he hasn't passed away, I'm afraid he will be too old to walk and get out of the boat." ”

He turned his face and said to Lan Wangji: "Back then, I instigated you to go to the Lotus Dock to play in Yunshen, and I especially wanted you to come with me to him to steal the lotus pod." Do you know why?"

For Wei Wuxian, Lan Wangji always has questions to answer and respond to requests. He said seriously, "I don't know. Why?"

Wei Wuxian winked at him with his left eye and said with a grin, "Because that old man's penny kung fu is very powerful, hitting people is much more painful than your ring ruler." I thought at the time, I must trick Lan Zhan over and let him take a few beatings. ”

Hearing this, Lan Wangji smiled slightly. A lake of cold moon and clear light all melted into his smile.

In an instant, Wei Wuxian felt dizzy. Involuntarily, the smile also spread to his face.

He said, "Well, I'll admit it......"

In a whirlwind, there was a loud bang, the water splashed several feet high, and the boat overturned.

Wei Wuxian got out of the water, wiped his face, and said, "I just said sit tight and don't shake around, if you are not careful, the boat will capsize!"

Lan Wangji swam over, and Wei Wuxian saw that he was still so unfazed when he fell into the water, and he almost drank a few sips of water with a smile: "Who leaned over first?

Lan Wangji said: "I don't know. It could be me. ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Okay, it could be me too!"

The two laughed and grabbed each other in the water, hugged themselves hard, and kissed each other.

After separating lips from lips, Wei Wuxian raised his hand and continued what he had just said, "I admit it, I just talked nonsense. Back then, I just wanted to play with you. ”

Lan Wangji held him behind his waist, and Wei Wuxian got back on the boat, turned around and handed out a hand to grab him, and said, "So, you should also be honest Lan Zhan." ”

Lan Wangji also got on the boat, handed him a piece of red rope, and said, "Explain what." ”

Wei Wuxian bit the red rope, tied up the black hair that had spread out in the water with both hands, and said, "Explain if you are the same as I thought." He said solemnly, "Do you know that you rejected me coldly every time at that time, which really made me very embarrassed." ”

Lan Wangji said: "You can try it now, and see if I will refuse you in anything." ”

The cold sentence hit the heart directly, Wei Wuxian choked for a moment, but Lan Wangji still looked calm, as if he didn't realize what he said at all. Wei Wuxian propped his forehead and said, "You...... Hanguang-jun, let's discuss, please say hello before talking about love, otherwise I won't be able to resist. ”

Lan forgot his jaw and said, "Okay." ”

Wei Wuxian said, "Lan Zhan, you are a person!"

There are no words, only laughter and hugs.

The author has something to say:

For some well-known reasons, JJ will be put on the extranet first. Let's talk about it briefly.

The prototypes of "Snatching the Door" and "Iron Hook" are independent short stories that I conceived when I was in college, originally known as "The Devil Enters the Door" and "Pulling the Tongue" (. At that time, there was a general ghost story stalk, but I was not satisfied with how to change it, and I thought it was weird, so I put it on hold. But the stalk I thought of didn't need to be used, and I felt that it was a pity, so I turned it out without giving up, rearranged it drastically, and finally made the best use of it.

"Snatching the Door" is a small note of night hunting after forgetting envy and returning to seclusion. Fighting monsters, gangstering pensions, and taking a baby by the way are easy and comfortable.

"Iron Hook" is a night hunting class for Yiling ancestors to take children. The writing process was more difficult, and the ghost part was revised a dozen times. But I have a problem with the text I wrote, looking back, there are always places I want to revise, and I still have itchy hands, but time waits for no one, so let's make do with it.

I still quite like this kind of 1~2 word Zhiwei short story.

"Lotus Peng" was originally intended to write a cool summer ghost catching story about the children of Yunshen and Lotus Dock, but in the end it was written as a warm rural day. In short, although iFi failed to turn the second brother back to Lotus Dock to eat, drink and have fun when he was a child, the two children still completed a divine friendship in their intentional or unintentional obsession with each other!

The original intention of the article "Cloud Dream" is this: After iFi was sent back to Lotus Dock after making trouble in Yunshen nowhere, Lan Ergongzi had a dream that he and iFi went to Yunmeng to play together, and iFi invited him to eat various snacks and lotus flowers. Of course, he didn't go at the time, but when he grew up, he eventually did.

Therefore, the meaning of this title is actually "a dream in the depths of the clouds, a dream come true".
