After Jiuhuang said that he wanted to return to Sanwei Mountain, Zuo Yu took her back to the courtyard where she used to live.

At this time, it was almost autumn, and the Hehuan trees planted in the yard had begun to lose their leaves, and a thick layer of leaves had accumulated under the trees, and the wind blew up a few pieces, which looked extremely desolate.

Jiuhuang was dressed in the cloak of Zuo Yu, and fell asleep in his arms with his eyes closed. Zuo Yu carried her into the house, carefully put her on the bed, lightly pulled the quilt on her, and was about to leave, but Jiuhuang, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the corner of his clothes with his right hand, and said, "Brother Zuo......"

Zuo Yu turned to look at her, Jiuhuang was lying on the bed with a pale face, just looking at him straight like that, and there was even a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Zuo, is it okay for you to stay? I'm so scared of ...... alone."

Zuo Yu's heart ached, and he took her hand holding the corner of her clothes and sat down on the edge of the bed: "Okay, I'm not leaving, I'm here to accompany you." ”

Jiuhuang nodded, Zuo Yu helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, and said, "You sleep." ”

"I can't sleep. Jiuhuang smiled, "Brother Zuo, you can talk to me." Maybe I'll fall asleep while talking. ”

She struggled to get up, and Zuo Yu hurriedly held her up, then put the pillow behind her for her to lean onto. Jiuhuang leaned on the pillow, looking at Zuo Yu and squinting and smiling.

"Okay?"

"Good. Zuo Yu returned to the side of the bed and bowed his head, "Whatever you want to say, I'll accompany you." ”

Jiuhuang looked at him, tilted his head and thought for a moment, as if he had returned to his previous lively and playful appearance: "Brother Zuo, in fact, I have always wanted to ask, why are you so good to me?"

Zuo Yu was stunned, looked at her and was silent for a long time, and then said softly: "Do you remember, I once asked you why you only have a silver chuan in your hand?"

Jiuhuang thought about it, and then remembered that he had indeed asked about it when he helped her light the fire that day, so he nodded and said, "Remember." ”

Zuo Yu looked at her, a trace of softness flashed in his eyes, and the things that had been buried in his heart for more than ten years were whispered by him at this moment.

"I wasn't originally from the Demon Cult. When I was ten years old, the Zuo family, which was originally a big family, suddenly changed, and my parents and sister were killed by the rogues on the way to escape. ”

Zuo Yu smiled, as if remembering the scene of that day: "That day coincided with the ritual of worshipping the heavens in southern Xinjiang, I fell on the street because I was too hungry, and I didn't have time to avoid the holy woman in southern Xinjiang, and I was almost captured by the guards. Zuo Yu looked at Jiuhuang and paused, and a look of her incomprehension gradually appeared in her eyes, "But that young Southern Frontier Holy Maiden stopped the guards who came to arrest me, and quietly gave me a silver chuan, saying that I should go buy some food." ”

"Really?" Jiuhuang asked with a light smile.

"Yes. "Left domain jaw head.

He looked at the person in front of him with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly remembered that she was also smiling like this that day, squatting in front of him in a warm red dress, and the bell on the silver crown rang softly.

She tore off the silver chuan in her hand, then quietly stuffed it into his arms, bent her eyes and whispered: "Little brother, A-Niang said that this is very valuable, I'll give you one, you go and change it for some food." ”

Jiuhuang looked at Zuo Yu for a long time, and then said softly, "What happened later?"

"Later......" Zuo Yu came back to his senses, "and then I went to the pawnshop, and the boss saw that I was a child, so he lowered the price of the silver chuan. But the money he gave me was enough, and I relied on it to get out of the southern frontier and come to the Demon Cult by chance. Then, I went back and got the silver chun. ”

Jiuhuang was stunned.

Zuo Yu put his hand into his arms and took out a slightly old silver chuan, he handed it to Jiuhuang, and said, "Jiuhuang, the silver chuan is a pair, not to mention that it was left to you by your mother." Back then, I didn't know how to exchange it for money, but now it's useless for me to keep it, this silver chuan, give it back to you. ”

Jiuhuang looked at the things in Zuo Yu's hand in a daze, the dragon with Tengyun engraved with fine techniques on the silver chuan, and the flying phoenix on her wrist took care of each other, and the two strands of entangled silver chuan hung a delicate silver bell, which looked slightly old, but it was indeed her other silver chuan.

Jiuhuang looked at it for a long time, and suddenly shook his head gently: "No, no need." She looked up at him, and his brows were slightly furrowed in her eyes, "Brother Zuo, since this silver chuan has been given to you, you should help me keep it." I ......," she smiled as if remembering something, "I ...... I won't live long......"

Zuo Yu's hand holding Yin Chuan tightened.

Jiuhuang turned his head to look out the window, and could see that the flowerbeds outside the window were planted with lush anchovy orchids, clustered together one by one, looking particularly vibrant.

"Brother Zuo, I don't seem to have ever told you about me. Jiuhuang said softly, the light under his eyes gradually blurred, "Although I am a saint of southern Xinjiang, I am not the body of the Yin, and the Gu of life and death is also inherited from A-Niang's body." Ah Niang exchanged blood with me when I was ten years old, so she lost her life, just to save the life and death Gu in my body, so as to save me. ”

She paused, and continued without any ups and downs: "A-Niang said that I have to protect myself in order to live well. But now that I'm not clean, I can't raise a life and death Gu like this, it will die slowly, and I will die too. ”

Jiuhuang looked out the window with his back to Zuo Yu, a tear slipped through the corner of his eye, and quietly dripped on the brocade quilt: "I used to think that I would live a good life, and I imagined a lot of good lives. I was very happy when Pei said he wanted to marry me because I liked him very much and wanted to be with him. But then Sister Zi Mei told me that Ah Pei didn't like me, and he approached me and married me, just wanting life and death Gu. ”

Jiuhuang's voice flowed quietly in the room, obviously sounding unfluctuating, but it was sad to be sad.

Zuo Yu looked at her back and was silent for a long time, the hand holding Yin Chuan loosened and tightened, as if he had mustered up a lot of courage, and said softly: "Jiuhuang, if you are not happy, if you don't want to stay here, I will take you away." ”

He paused, and his voice was firm and powerful: "The mountains and rivers are far away, the heavens and the earth are big, and in this world, there will always be a place for us." ”

Jiuhuang still didn't answer Zuo Yu in the end. After listening to Zuo Yu's words, she just closed her eyes lightly and said softly, "Brother Zuo, I want to sleep." ”

Zuo Yu's face turned pale, he slowly withdrew the hand stretched out in front of Jiuhuang, and laughed abruptly, his voice was slightly hoarse: "Then you can sleep...... I'm here with you......"

Jiuhuang shrank into the quilt and nodded with his eyes closed.

The Hehuan tree outside the window is still shedding its leaves, and it is swept by the wind, and a dead leaf falls on the windowsill, lining the blooming anchovy orchids in the flower garden, which looks particularly discordant.

Jiuhuang's breathing on the bed gradually grew, and Zuo Yu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her motionlessly. I don't know how long it took, but when I thought Jiuhuang had fallen asleep, a whisper suddenly sounded in the room, like a dream, as light as a misty cloud.

“…… Big Brother Zuo...... Sorry ......"

I saw Zuo Yu's body stiffen, and then gradually relaxed. He straightened the short hair in front of Jiuhuang's forehead, and replied softly: "It's okay......"

I looked at the people lying on the side of the bed, pulled Childe and sighed: "Childe, look, this Zuoyu is really infatuated, tsk, I can't stand it." ”

Childe slapped my hand away, straightened out my torn clothes, and glanced at me: "If you can't stand it, don't look at it." ”

I choked, pursed my lips and argued, "Childe, don't you think what Zuo Yu said just now is very exciting?" I paused, and said in Zuo Yu's tone, "Jiuhuang, if you are not happy, if you don't want to stay here, I will take you away." The mountains and rivers are far away, the sky and the earth are big, and in this world, there will always be a place for us. ”

After speaking, I touched my chin and said longingly: "Tut-tut, Jiuhuang is really stupid, if I were her, I would have agreed." ”

Childe sneered and looked at me with disdain: "You are so useless?

I snorted softly: "What's wrong with one or two sentences? Childe, don't you really think Zuo Yu's words are very exciting?" After speaking, I thought about it, and felt that it was not enough, and then added, "Anyway, if anyone tells me these words, I will agree." ”

Childe glanced at me and pierced mercilessly: "It's a pity that no one will say these things to you." ”

I choked, only to feel the anger rushing upward, and said angrily: "How do you know if you don't?

"Oh, is it?" Childe looked at me and raised his eyebrows, with a mocking smile in his eyes, he looked at me and said in a weird manner, "But how did I hear that Feng Yu, the seventeenth disciple under the Cangyun Immortal Monarch, has been in the Empty Xuan Hall for more than five hundred years, and he has never bloomed a peach blossom." After that, he looked at me for a moment, and said with a look of pity, "Over the years, even the iron tree has been able to bloom." You don't look ugly, but you don't have a single peach blossom, why is that?"

My face darkened, and I roared in my heart: How do I know?!

As Childe said, I have never been pursued by a man in the more than 500 years of the Empty Xuan Palace. Actually, I didn't think it was anything at first, after all, Senior Brother Sixteen and Senior Sister Nine were very good to me, and I was happy to play with them. But later, even my unusually strong-looking Twelfth Senior Sister was liked, and after marrying with thunder and showing affection in front of our senior brothers and sisters every day, I was stunned that not a single peach blossom bloomed.

I was very hurt by this, and after sleeping in the house for two days, I ran to the courtyard of Senior Sister Nine for comfort.

At that time, Senior Sister Jiu was lying under the tree basking in the sun, her water-colored long skirt was messily spread on the ground, a book was covered with a book on her face, and a plate of crystal clear grapes was placed within reach.

I stepped forward and took down the book of words covered by Senior Sister Jiu's face, and then flipped through it, and found that it was a novel that I had already read, so I threw it aside, shook Senior Sister Jiu's arm and said, "Senior Sister Jiu, there is a question that has been bothering me for two days, and it makes me feel a little melancholy every time I think about it. ”

Senior Sister Jiu raised her hand to cover the light, and her voice was lazy: "This is still a problem. Aside from not being able to eat, drink, and be merry, I really haven't seen you feel melancholy. She sat up slightly, her eyes were like autumn water, "Come, tell my senior sister, what is it that makes you so melancholy?"

I sat down beside her with my skirt, pursed my lips and complained, "Senior sister, today the twelfth senior sister and the twelfth senior brother-in-law are in front of me again. What else did the Twelfth Senior Sister say, 'Seventeen, when are you going to find me a brother-in-law?'" I learned the tone of the Twelfth Senior Sister, then hummed softly, and analyzed seriously with the Ninth Senior Sister, "Ninth Senior Sister, I feel that I am being looked down upon. ”

Senior Sister Nine covered her mouth and laughed, she sat up straight and straightened my face and looked at it carefully for a moment, there was a hint of ridicule in her voice: "Seventeen, I think you are born well, but why is no one taking a fancy to you?"

I muttered, "How do I know?"

Senior Sister Nine chuckled, leaned back on the tree, took a grape and threw it into her mouth, and said while eating: "Then you came to me today to ask me to help you find a seventeenth senior brother-in-law?"

I smiled "hehe" and said very seriously: "Ninth Senior Sister, this is not the point, the point is that I was looked down upon by the Twelfth Senior Sister!

Since the master has accepted seventeen disciples, the number is a bit large, so we are not as loving each other as they seem on the surface. There will always be one or two brothers and sisters who don't like each other, and they usually squeeze each other when they meet, but unfortunately, the ninth senior sister and the twelfth senior sister happen to be one of them.

In fact, the reason why we don't like each other is not a big deal, just because of the different views on women.

Senior Sister Jiu believes that as a woman, she should have the appearance of a woman, not a tiger's back and a bear's waist that looks very strong. The Twelfth Senior Sister thinks that women are not exaggerated compared to men, so why can't they be born stronger?

So the two of them are different and do not conspire with each other, every time they meet, they are cold to each other, and they sneer at each other when they seize the opportunity, and they can't wait to make each other ashamed to die.

This phenomenon began when I joined the school and has continued until now. Every time I think about it, I have to sigh at their persistence.

Senior Sister Jiu listened to my words, a pair of watery eyes swept over with a slight anger, she reached out and poked my head, and said, "I heard it, you don't have to repeat it again and again!"

I held my head and shrank to the side, looking at her and smirking: "Senior Sister Jiu, I'm just telling the truth." ”

Senior Sister Nine withdrew her hand, sighed, and looked at me helplessly: "Since that's the case, I can't let the twelve little ones go." She squinted and looked me up and down, thought for a moment, and then proposed with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Seventeen, why don't you go on a blind date." ”
