The summer night sky is like a navy blue curtain, dotted with twinkling stars, the moonlight is lazily scattered on the ground, everywhere can be seen, the bamboo fences in the courtyard turn black in the moonlight, and the insects in the grass are as dense as falling rain.

Jiuhuang, who was thrown on the bed, gradually struggled to wake up, she looked at the hibiscus flowers embroidered on the big red curtain and was stunned for a moment, before she slowly got up, looking at the unfamiliar scenery around her, her eyes were full of confusion.

Jiuhuang's original clothes were changed, and at this time she was wearing a crimson skirt that mopped the floor, and her neckline was wide open, and she could faintly see the chun color inside.

Part of her long, silky hair was pulled up, held in place by a golden step, and the rest was draped straight behind her head. During the walking action, the hanging beads on the step shook slightly, lining her very petite and delicate.

Jiuhuang looked down at the clothes on his body, then walked to the door barefoot, and was about to open the door, but found that the door had been locked from the outside.

She tried to pull it a few more times, but found that it was useless, and the door was still closed and could not be opened. It was only then that Jiuhuang had a panicked look on her face, and she shouted while banging on the door, "Is there anyone?" Come and open the door! I'm going out! Anyone? ”

She shouted like this, but no one responded for a long time. Come to think of it, she was locked up in such a place, even if she screamed out her throat, where would anyone save her?

Jiuhuang shouted tiredly, her back against the door gradually collapsed to the ground, she hugged her legs and shrunk herself into a small ball, and whispered: "Ah Pei, where are you ......" She buried her face between her arms, "Come and pick me up, I'm here alone, I'm so scared ......"

The soft voice echoed in the room, and Jiuhuang huddled in the corner of the door with his legs in his arms, looking very helpless. But as time went by, the night was getting darker, and she couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness, and gradually fell asleep against the wall, looking defenseless.

When Jiuhuang woke up again, it was already morning, and the sunlight fell to the ground through the crack in the door, and it was a fine piece of gold.

The door also seemed to have been opened, as there were a few side dishes and rice beside her. She was stunned, stood up and tapped the door again, "Is there anyone?" I know someone must be there, can you talk to each other? ”

There was silence outside the door, and it took a long time for a timid voice to come: "Girl, don't shout, don't waste your efforts, you can't get out here."

When Jiuhuang heard someone, he was very happy and said, "Sister, do you know where this is?"

"This is Wanhualou." The voice paused, and suddenly became eager, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps, "Girl, I'll go first, Mother Li is here!" ”

Jiuhuang heard the sound of hurried footsteps, and then gradually moved away, she was in a hurry, knocked on the door and shouted: "Sister, don't go, can you let me out first?" I'm going out! ”

"Yo~ Who are you talking to?"

A shrill voice came from outside the door, and Jiuhuang was startled, and subconsciously stepped back. There was a sound of the lock being opened, and then the door was opened, and the blinding sunlight poured in.

Jiuhuang subconsciously raised his hand to cover his eyes, and vaguely saw that the person who came was wearing a big red palace skirt, and his slightly old face was covered with heavy makeup.

Mother Li looked at Jiuhuang, and suddenly covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Yo, this girl only felt beautiful when she first looked at it, but now that she has changed her clothes, she can be regarded as a heavenly beauty." She looked at Jiuhuang with an expression of having found a treasure, "That thin monkey really didn't lie to me." Before he could finish speaking, he laughed.

His eyes had gradually adjusted to the sunlight, Jiuhuang put down his hand, took two steps back, and looked at them with a hostile expression: "Who are you?" Why did you bring me here? You treat me like this, aren't you afraid that Ah Pei will find out and demolish your place? ”

"Hehehe! Ah Pei? Mother Li approached Jiuhuang while laughing, and when she walked in front of her, her face suddenly changed, she raised her hand that was painted with Danko and pinched her chin, and her voice suddenly became cold, "No matter who it is, when it comes to me, I am the boss." Whatever he does, when you get to this Wanhualou, you have to listen to me! ”

Mother Li's nails were pinched into the flesh, and Jiuhuang was teary-eyed in pain. She struggled away and rushed out the door, her voice crying: "I'm going out, I'm going to find Ah Pei!"

But before she reached the door, Jiuhuang was stopped, and the two big men brought by Li's mother stopped her, and made her fall to the ground with a slight effort.

Mother Li looked at Jiuhuang who fell to the ground, straightened the sleeves that were messed up by Liu Huan, and her eyes were indifferent: "Don't waste your efforts, you better stay here honestly." You see that you are also born well, why not be angry when the time comes? But now if you don't change your temperament and make me angry and accidentally hurt this little face, then you will be of no use. After saying that, she laughed softly as if she remembered something, "Oh yes, and what kind of 'Ah Pei' of yours, if he really has a heart for you, how can he let you come out alone, be abducted, and then fall into my hands?" ”

The blood on Jiuhuang's originally ruddy face faded little by little with Li's mother's words, and in the end, only pale remained.

When Mother Li saw that the effect had been achieved, she turned around and walked out of the door, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "So you better stay here honestly, don't expect your 'Ah Pei' to pick you up, men, it's all unreliable things."

She sneered, didn't stop after speaking, and walked out with a step. When she walked to the door, she paused, turned her head to look at Jiuhuang, who was lying on the ground and lost her soul, and then whispered to the people around her: "Take care of her, don't let her run away." She paused, thought for a moment and continued, "Let's put on the cartilage, so that she can't run if she wants to, and I'm more relieved." ”

The maid behind her bowed her head, and Mother Li sneered again, and turned away without hesitation.

Jiuhuang looked at the door that was gradually closing, her eyes gradually lost their brightness, and there seemed to be a crystal liquid under her eyes, and it took her a long time before she called softly: "Ah Pei......"

Jiuhuang hugged his legs and shrunk in the corner of the bed, and his red clothes fell to the bed. She buried her face between her arms and remained motionless, like a puppet.

During this period, someone brought food over, but Jiuhuang did not look up and still maintained the original movement.

The person who came to deliver the meal didn't embarrass her much, put down the meal and stayed for a while, only to hear a soft sound of "ding ding", and the person who came to deliver the meal gently retreated.

Jiuhuang heard the sound of the door being locked, and hugged himself tighter. The incense from the stove gradually overflowed the room, and she felt her body soften, and her drowsiness gradually set in.

Childe and I stood in the corner and looked at the small red ball shrunk in the corner of the bed, was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Childe, what if Wen Zipei doesn't come again?"

Childe pinched the trick to blow away the smoke emitted by the cartilage, and his tone was a little careless: "What can I do?" That's not something we can decide. ”

I was silent, and my heart suddenly felt a little pantothenic: "But Jiuhuang is very pitiful, in this kind of place, if Wen Zipei doesn't come to save her in time, she can't get out alone."

"That can't be helped." Childe shrugged his shoulders and reminded, "We can't interfere. ”

I looked at Childe, and saw him standing under the candlelight, covered in the dim light, and there was always a hint of a smile on his handsome and clear face, and he saw me looking at him, with a light look in his eyes.

I looked at him, and an inexplicable feeling gradually spread in my heart, and I heard myself say, "Childe, you are really ruthless." Without waiting for him to answer, I continued, "Childe, do you remember Su Yue and Song Linyuan? If you hadn't taken away Su Yue's memories, they might not have ended up being strangers. This time you are the same, seeing Jiuhuang in danger will be in danger, but you can still remind me here calmly not to help her. ”

I looked at him and said very weakly: "Childe, people say that immortals can't have affection, and their hearts will gradually become cold over the years." But Childe, do you really have a heart? If you really have a heart, where is your heart? ”

There was silence in the room, except for the slight "crackling" of the candle flame. Childe stood in front of me, the candlelight reflecting his eyes like the deep sea, as if starlight had fallen again, and the night outside the window was deep and silent.

Childe looked at me with a blank expression, and I raised my head to look at him without fear. After a while, he suddenly laughed softly, and then raised his hand to rub my head, his palm wide and warm.

"Little ballad, is this what you've always wanted to ask?" He withdrew his hand and looked at me with a look I couldn't understand, "Little ballad, I'm not a stone, so it's not unintentional." It's just that my heart has been given to too many people before, and one of the people I put in my heart was very sad to see, and then she hid. She was very important to me, but I searched for her for a long time and couldn't find her. So I'm not going to give my heart to someone who has nothing to do with me, it's only so small that it can't fit many people. In the future, my heart will only be given to her. ”

I was slightly stunned, remembering what he said to me that day, and asked, "But didn't you say that your sweetheart died on the battlefield of the Immortal and Demon War?"

"Yes, she did die on the battlefield of the Immortal and Demon War." Childe smiled lightly, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and he looked extremely bitter, "I have been looking for her for a long time, but I haven't found her." But on the day of the fairy and demon war, she appeared. However, she stood on the battlefield like that, and died in front of me. He paused, as if he had calmed down for a while, and then said softly, his voice full of pain and helplessness. And I'm ...... But they couldn't even stop it. ”

I paused, and I didn't know what to say, after all, comforting people is not what I'm good at, so I just coughed lightly and said vaguely: "Childe, don't be sad."

Childe looked at me, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile: "I'm not sad, little rumor, one day she will come back to me." He looked at me with a firm look in his eyes, but his tone was light, "Someday." ”

I looked at Childe and suddenly felt a little pitiful for him. Although it is impossible for a person to be resurrected after death, he can go to the underworld to be reincarnated and start over. But after the immortal dies, his soul is scattered, and he is not even qualified to go to reincarnation. What's more, the anger on the battlefield of the Immortal and Demon War is so heavy, even if it leaves a little soul fragment, it will have already been crushed by the anger.

But Childe still firmly believes that his sweetheart can come back, I don't know if he has ever heard a sentence, broken things, no matter how hard you try to put it together, there will still be cracks, and you still can't go back to the beginning.

For example, Childe and his sweetheart.

For example, Jiuhuang and Wen Zipei.
