Chapter Twenty-Eight: Flowers Under the Moon
"Wander, how many times do you want me to talk to you! Have you forgotten all the rules of the Xiang family?" said Xiang's father.
Seeing his father standing on the side of Mao Qing, he turned his head unhappily, and snorted lightly in his mouth with great disbelief.
"Little girl, don't be so angry! If you believe me, I am willing to stay and meet the fox spirit with you, and see why he wants to take you away. She smiled, not a little annoyed by this.
"It's... This..."After wandering for a long time, he nodded extremely embarrassed.
Xiang Youlu is kind-hearted, and he is usually not such an unreasonable character. So the more gentle she was to her, the more she felt guilty. But when I thought of Mo Yi's eyes looking at Mao Qing, my heart was like a fire, and my words became bitter, which was really strange.
"In this way, I will thank the fairy first!" Father Xiang saluted thoughtfully.
As a result, Mo Yi and Mao Qing temporarily stayed in this mansion.
"By the way, can you keep the pig iron?" asked Haoqing, sitting at the small table in Mo Yi's room.
"Hmm. The baggage is here. After Mo Yi finished speaking, he went to untie the burden and took out the treasure bag to check.
"Huh~" Mao Qing looked at the corner of the cherry-colored clothes in the baggage, and immediately walked over and snatched it over.
Shaking off the clothes, I looked at the candlelight for a long time, and was even more surprised to see that it was a set of women's shirts.
"Did you buy it for me?" asked Mao Qing, looking at Mo Yi.
Mo Yi lowered his head and said very lightly: "This... When I was buying clothes, the shopkeeper forced them on me. If you like it, take it! ”
Mao Qing tilted his head, stared straight into his eyes, and teased: "Judging from the clothing, it's obviously better to buy a man's shirt and give a girl's shirt, the shopkeeper's eyes are really too problematic!"
"That's right, if you say so, I'll return the dress to the shopkeeper tomorrow!" Mo Yi prepared to snatch the blouse back.
Who knew that Mao Qing retreated to the side of the bed and grabbed the corner of his clothes: "If you don't give it, I won't give it! Where is the reason to go back after sending someone?"
After speaking, she then pointed to the corner of her clothes that was burned by the Taoist priest: "Hmm... You see, you see, it's clear that people are short of new clothes. ”
Mo Yi sighed slightly and chuckled, which can be regarded as a promise.
Mao Qing happily picked up the cherry long skirt, turned around leisurely, and the shirt was worn on the body.
"How, is it pretty?" she asked, looking up, very innocent.
The broken light of the candle flame fell into her eyes, and with the softness of her eyes, it suddenly came to life.
Mo Yi's heart was beating faster, and a thin sweat appeared on his forehead.
"It's just a piece of clothing, where will there be any changes...", he didn't have time to think about it, he blurted out like this.
"You, you can't even say nice things, it's really a big rock. "I muttered.
Mo Yi lowered his head and quietly pressed his heart, which was a gesture of restraint.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Xiang You's crisp voice sounded: "Young Master Mo, have you slept?"
Without waiting for Mo Yi to answer, Mao Qing ran forward, opened the door, and grinned at Xiang Youluo at the door.
Xiang Youlu was holding a plate of pastries in his hand, and his originally happy smile instantly froze on his lips: "You... Why are you here?"
Mao Qing was puzzled: "Why can't I be here!"
Mo Yi immediately stepped forward to mediate: "She came to me to get something." But Miss Xiang came here so late, is there something important?"
"I... I saw that you didn't eat anything in the evening, so I brought some pastries...", as he walked into the room, placing the plates on the small round table.
"Wow~ The rich man's thing is exquisite. Mao Qing unceremoniously picked a piece of walnut cake and put it in his mouth.
Xiang Youluo looked at the new clothes of Mao Qing, and suddenly remembered that it was the one he had seen in Mo Yi's baggage.
It turned out that it was bought for her?
A nameless fire surged into his heart, and he pretended to be old and preached to Mao Qing: "Are you heterogeneous folk customs so vulgar? ”
Her mouth was full of things, and she didn't hear the banter in her tone, and replied very innocently: "What is this?" Not to mention staying here, even if they have slept in the same bed!"
Looking at the face that had almost turned green, Mao Qingfu added: "By the way, more than once!"
"You... You !!" Xiang Youlu pointed at Mao Qing, angry and angry. Tears rolled in his eyes.
"It's really a shameless demon!" After speaking, he turned around and ran, not forgetting to slam the door shut.
Mao Qing blinked, looked at Mo Yi in a daze, pointed to himself and asked in great confusion, "Did I say something wrong?"
Mo Yi pressed the corner of his forehead and didn't answer, just looked at her with a helpless smile.
The night is as cool as water, and the hibiscus flowers in the vase in front of the bed bloom very enchantingly.
Under the moon, ten thousand times are flying red, and the dark fragrance in the room is strong.
Just for breakfast, Mao Qing saw what it means to have a great family.
Twelve side dishes, eighteen delicate refreshments. Whole grains, milk, fruit and water, everything is available.
After eating for more than half an hour, Mao Qing patted his stomach, and finally couldn't even stuff half of the osmanthus cake.
After drinking a cup of tea, she had nothing to do, and because she was too full for breakfast, she took Mo Yi to the courtyard of Xiang's mansion for a walk.
Mao Qing looked at the hibiscus flowers that were still blooming, and suddenly smiled: "This red fox must like this kind of flower very much." ”
"Why? Maybe this was originally cultivated by Xiangfu. Mo Yi was a little puzzled.
"This is a hibiscus flower, blooming and falling. It's just that you've seen them scattered since last night?"
Mo Yi shook his head, it seemed that this was indeed the masterpiece of the red fox.
The two of them lingered until the place where the altar was laid yesterday, and Mo Yi remembered the extremely important thing he wanted to ask earlier, so he stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Have you recovered those cultivations?"
Mao Qing looked at him with a tilted head, and his tone was relaxed: "Where is it so simple, if you lose it, you lose it." ”
Mo Yi let out a soft "oh", looked at the red hibiscus in front of him, and asked, "You said that you will have to pass three tribulations when you enter the immortal." It's just that such a dangerous thing, it's better to stay the same, right? You see, being an immortal is not necessarily good. ”
Mao Qing squinted at him, and he didn't understand why Mo Yi, who had always been indifferent to everything, was interested in this today.
I thought about how to explain it to him clearly, and suddenly found that this was indeed a very sad question.
With a little seriousness on his face, he replied very seriously: "Everything in this world has an end, even the immortals." For example, most mortals have no more than 70 years in life, but we elves, even if we work hard to cultivate, will not exceed 5,000 years. When the time comes, there will inevitably be a catastrophe. If you can't get over, you'll be in ashes. If, as you said, you don't want to survive and stay like this, then the elves of this world will not be flooded?"
With the breeze caressing his hair, Mo Yi's heart swelled up with a burst of amazement, and he said dejectedly: "That... How many eons have you passed?"
"Two catastrophes. Her voice was faint, and instantly melted into the wind.
In vain, he pressed his heart tightly, and he seemed to see something.
The morning fog of the four seas was obscured, the golden light soared like a chain of life, and a majestic female voice sounded in his head: "Do you think you can escape by becoming an immortal? That's your calamity, and you are destined to become mine..."
"What's wrong with you, little stone?" Shui Qing shook his hand in front of Mo Yi's eyes, interrupting his thoughts.
"It's nothing," Mo Yi replied in a trance.
He felt that it was because he had been disturbed recently that he had seen the absurd scene that had nothing to do with him just now.
"Can you survive this third tribulation?"
Mao Qing shook his head very calmly.
Mo Yi looked at her in a daze, and a vast haze instantly appeared in his eyes, dim.
Mao Qing tilted his head and chuckled: "Don't be so sad, okay? Don't I still have you? Thanks to you, soon, I will be able to directly enter the name of Si Ming Xingjun as a disciple! That is, I can become an immortal without crossing the tribulation!"
Oh, yes... How did she forget about this? If she got a result like that, it would be fine...
Mo Yi thought.
There was a long silence, neither of them said anything more, and the surroundings were quiet, but the fragrance of the hibiscus flowers became more and more abundant.
"Huh?" said Haoqing suddenly, "This young lady is really interesting." ”
After speaking, he grabbed a young leaf and threw it at the hibiscus bush opposite.
"Ahh
"Little girl, aren't you afraid of insect bites when you hide there?"
Xiang Youlu stuck out his tongue at her, and then took as little ladylike steps as he could, and slowly walked to Mo Yi's side and stood still.
Mao Qing blinked, only to realize that Yu Lu was wearing a long dress of the same color as himself today.
Sighing, she seemed to understand the little girl's mind a little.
Wandering hung his head embarrassedly, and his cheeks were full of glow.
She faced Mo Yi and said softly, "I offended you before and almost killed you." As an apology, would it be okay for me to accompany you around this town? There is a temple fair near the 'Confucius Temple', but it is lively!"
"Thank you for your kindness, no need!" Mo Yi politely refused, making a gesture to leave.
Xiang Youli glared at Mao Qing fiercely, thinking that he blamed this white rabbit spirit for confusing people.
Mao Qing was stunned for a moment, understood her complaint, sighed, and felt that she was truly wronged.
But you can't eat other people's people's food, and make people angry, right? I had no choice but to take a few quick steps, grabbed Mo Yi, opened my big eyes, and said pitifully: "Go... I want to go..."
"If you want to go yourself!"
"Let's go together, let's go together! The eldest lady only invited you, so you will be naked!" and shook his hand.
Mo Yi glanced at her, snorted lightly, but finally nodded.
Mao Qing squeezed her eyes at Xiang Youli as if she was invited, but found that this young lady still looked like she was ignoring her, no, it should be said that she is even more angry now...
