Episode 18: Who marries whose grandson
In the courtyard of Liu's house, the wind blew the dried clothes and rolled up broken leaves all over the ground. The black crow that did not want to return to its nest hovered over the green tiles, letting out a hoarse cry, full of gloom and sighing.
Ji Xiamo pushed open the heavy and old wooden door, and a peach tree bloomed with blood-colored brocades, and in the gray courtyard, there seemed to be a lonely sadness.
Ji Xia Mo stepped on the broken leaves all over the ground, paced under the peach tree, looked at the blue-clothed young man with his back to him, and shook his head.
"Since you're dead, let's hurry up and reincarnate, Xuemei is dead and won't come to you again."
"They, kill her." The young man buried his head and choked lowly.
"She loves you so much." Ji Xiamo handed over the thick stack of letters in his hand. "By the time she learned of your death, she had no faith in living."
The young man turned around, revealing his delicate facial features. Looking at the letter in Ji Xiamo's hand, the young man was grief-stricken, his eyes were red, but he was helpless and had no tears.
"Let's go, she's been waiting for you on the bridge. In the next life, let's continue the fate of this life. ”
"Thank you." The young man knelt on the ground and kowtowed solemnly to Ji Xiamo. "In the next eternal memory of the kindness of the child."
"Let's go." Ji Xia Mo waved his hand. "Don't keep her waiting."
"Yes!" The young man bowed down, and as the obsession in his heart dissipated, the young man's soul gradually began to become thin, and finally disappeared into the air, and the peach tree also withered into a dead tree.
Ji Xiamo was silent for a long time, sat down on the ground, took out the fire fold and lit the stack of letters on the ground one by one, looking at the jumping firelight, Ji Xiamo only felt a little panicked in his heart.
After sitting for a long time, until the flame slowly went out, Ji Xiamo retracted his thoughts, remembering Jin Wuji who was still waiting outside, and wanted to stand up with his body propped up. However, there was a sudden sharp pain in his eyes without warning, Ji Xiamo hissed lightly, took a breath of cool air, knelt on one knee, and covered his eyes with one hand.
The sharp pain filled his eyes, like thousands of needles and bayonets, and Ji Xiamo, who was in pain, trembled all over, and his lips turned white. Ji Xiamo pressed his eyes hard, trying to relieve a little pain, and the pain that hit him became more and more intense every time, so that Ji Xiamo didn't even have the strength to call for help.
If Ji Xiamo let go of his hand at this time, and there were outsiders there, he would definitely find that at this time, Ji Xiamo's eyes, which were originally like black gems, were flowing with a bewildering gold.
Jin Wuji, who hadn't seen Ji Xiamo come out for a long time, was a little worried in his heart, so he came to check, but saw Ji Xiamo falling to the ground with a painful face, he was shocked, jumped up, and landed beside Ji Xiamo with light skills, holding him tightly in his arms, and his tone was indescribably anxious. "What's wrong with you?"
Jin Wuji's appearance made Ji Xiamo's eyes, which were originally in severe pain, suddenly cold, and a trace of coolness wandered in his eyes, relieving the pain. No one saw it, and with Jin Wuji's appearance, thin black came out of Jin Wuji's body and squeezed into Ji Xiamo's eyes.
"I'll take you to the doctor." Seeing that Ji Xia Mo didn't answer, thinking that he was in terrible pain, Jin Wuji was about to pick him up with a tense face.
"No, you don't." Ji Xia Mo grabbed Jin Wuji's collar and stopped his movements.
"No need." Feeling that the pain was not so bad anymore, Ji Xiamo slowly let go of the hand covering his eyes. "I'm fine, it's just that my eyes hurt suddenly."
Jin Wuji lowered his head and stared at Ji Xiamo's face in his arms, as if he was sure of what he said.
Ji Xiamo helped Jin Wuji to stand up, his fingers rubbing his eyebrows, "Maybe it's because I'm tired these days, my eyes can't stand it anymore." ”
"Brother Jin, go home." After making sure that his eyes would no longer hurt, Ji Xiamo raised his head and grinned at Jin Wuji.
Looking at Ji Xiamo's heartless appearance in the past, Jin Wuji's tense heart calmed down a little, and he nodded lightly. "Yes."
"Brother Jin, in order to celebrate the resolution of this case, how about I invite you to drink?" Walking out of the Liu family's courtyard, Ji Xiamo turned around with his hands behind his back and winked at Jin Wuji.
"Go back and get some sleep." In the face of Ji Xiamo's coquettishness and cuteness, Jin Wuji's face did not change.
"Jin ~~Brother~~" Ji Xiamo turned around and threw himself to Jin Wuji's side and hugged his arm, resolutely carrying out the shamelessness to the end.
"Brother Jin, shall we go for a drink? Brother Jin, Brother Jin, Brother Jin~~~"
"You're still young, and drinking hurts you." Jin Wuji resolutely wanted to pull his hand out, but Ji Xiamo made up his mind and would not let go.
"I'm not young anymore, didn't the old man say it? At my age, there are two children. Ji Xia Mo flattened his mouth and looked at Jin Wuji pitifully.
"Nope."
"It's an order!" Ji Xia Mo said stiffly. Jin Wuji's footsteps paused slightly, and he swept towards Ji Xiamo lightly. Ji Xiamo's back was cold, but he still craned his neck to look at him.
After being silent for a long time, Jin Wuji used his skill to withdraw his hand from Ji Xiamo's arms and walked forward expressionlessly.
Ji Xiamo slapped his head and said secretly, "It's broken!" The thin-skinned wood was angry again. ”
In view of the thickness of this thigh, Ji Xiamo wiped his aggrieved and bitter tears, and chased after him upside down, and said "Jin ~~Brother ~~" with a long tail note, which made the passers-by can't help but shiver, got goosebumps, and looked at Ji Xiamo with a strange face.
"Brother Jin~~~" Ji Xiamo pounced on Jin Wuji's back with a wolf pounce.
"Come down." Jin Wuji grimaced and let out a low snort.
"No, you can't kill it!" Ji Xia Mo shook his head vigorously and said sternly. "It's a matter of principle."
"Come down." Jin Wuji stretched out his hand to grab Ji Xiamo's hand, but the frightened Ji Xiamo hurriedly used his hands and feet, and his koala-like hands and feet were tightly wrapped around Jin Wuji's body.
"Brother Jin, you don't love me anymore." Ji Xiamo's eyes were teary and his face was aggrieved.
"......" Jin Wouji
"Brother Jin~~~~"
"Go home and sleep." After being silent for a long time, Jin Wuji let go of Ji Xiamo's hand and said in a silent voice.
"Uh-huh!" The chick nodded wildly as if it were pecking rice. "I'll be good." Drink it later, it's not bad for a while.
The curvature of the corners of Jin Wuji's mouth flashed away, still with a tense face, and continued to walk forward with Ji Xiamo on his back, dragging Ji Xiamo without a trace with one hand, so as not to fall down.
"Brother Jin, how old are you?" Lying on Jin Wuji's back, Ji Xiamo boredly stroked his hair and asked casually.
“…… 27”
"Brother Jin, you are twelve years older than me, and you can be my father here." Unconsciously began to die again.
"......" Jin Wouji
"But I still love Brother Jin!!" Sensing Jin Wuji's instantly suppressed momentum, Ji Xiamo was agitated and hurriedly made up. As if to prove what he said, Ji Xiamo hugged Jin Wuji's neck tightly with both hands and rubbed it around him affectionately.
"No matter how old Brother Jin is, it will always be my Brother Jin! Love Brother Jin, love life, and have no reason for a lifetime. Afraid that Jin Wuji would throw himself down, Ji Xiamo began to get tired of crooked coquettish sycophants.
Jin Wuji glanced at Ji Xiamo's smiling face, and retracted his gaze lightly, where Ji Xiamo couldn't see, the corners of his mouth raised a touch of pleasure that even he couldn't imagine.
"Brother Jin."
“……”
"Brother Jin??"
“……”
"Jin!! Elder brother!!! ”
"Yes."
"You'll always protect me, won't you?"
“…… Kindness!! ”
"Brother Jin, you are so good."
When Jin Wuji returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion with Ji Xiamo on his back, the sky was already a little dark. Jin Wuji put Ji Xia Mo at the door, and in a blink of an eye, someone flashed. Looking at the empty surroundings, Ji Xiamo pursed his lips, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart for some reason.
"Childe! You're finally back. Aoki walked in from the house, and when he saw Ji Xiamo, he immediately looked relieved.
"I know that you love me, but you don't have to look like you don't see each other every day." Ji Xiamo snorted lightly and entered the house with his chin raised. Aoki was a little puzzled why Ji Xia Mo suddenly lost his temper, but he still dutifully followed.
"My lord came today, and when I saw that you weren't there, I made a big fire."
"Why did he come to me? When you're full, come to some after-dinner entertainment, and choke me twice? Ji Xiamo sat at the table and poured himself a glass of water and hummed.
"Childe." Aoki was helpless. "The day after tomorrow is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, and the Lord has sent you a set of clothes, saying that you can try it out, and the day after tomorrow you will wear it and enter the palace with the adults."
Aoki said, walking over with a tray in both hands.
Ji Xia Mo drank tea for a moment, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Ji Xiamo put down the cup in his hand, flipped over the clothes on the plate casually, and pushed it aside with a disgusted expression. "Get out."
"Childe, you better try it, the minion is better to return to adulthood."
"Clothes, I'll wear. I will also go to the palace banquet. You! I don't care about you! Ji Xiamo got up and kicked Aoki out, and with a 'bang', he slammed the door shut, ignoring Aoki's shouts outside the door, turned around and walked to the side of the bed and lay down.
"The emperor's order is difficult, even if the prince doesn't like the princess anymore, you can take her back and just find a place to put it, why bother sulking with yourself?" Yin Li floated down from the beam of the room, sat at the table, and leisurely combed his long hair.
"You know what." Ji Xia Mo couldn't hide his irritability, glared at Yin Li, lifted the quilt and covered himself inside, and a muffled voice came from inside.
"This princess, who marries a grandson."
Yin Li combed his hair for a moment, and kept repeating the glance of Ji Xia Mo just now in his mind, and surprise gradually rose in his eyes.
After a long time, Yin Li suddenly dropped the comb in his hand, turned around and floated to Ji Xiamo's side, with indescribable excitement in his eyes. "Childe, you ......"
"Shut up!" Ji Xiamo interrupted Yin Li's words impatiently. "If you make any more noise, master, I'll find someone to take you!"
If it was in the past, Yin Li would have laughed at Ji Xiamo's words that were similar to a joke and didn't take it to heart, but now when he heard it, he couldn't help but shrink a little, turned around and floated to the roof and sat down.
Yin Li's sudden silence made Ji Xiamo a little puzzled, but she didn't bother to ask, but when she was also annoyed, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Yin Li sat on the roof, looking at Ji Xiamo in a complicated way, with all kinds of feelings in his heart, it was difficult to express it.
Ji Xiamo was able to see herself, she originally thought that Ji Xiamo was just different from ordinary people, and she was fortunate to have a pair of yin and yang ghost eyes.
However, Ji Xiamo's glance just now, although it was only a flash, Yin Li was sure that he was absolutely not wrong, because that person was ......
'Ji Xiamo, where are you sacred, to have such an opportunity! ’
