He raised his face to the sky, as if his eyes covered in white cloth could see the pure canopy.

Then, he put pen to paper and put a few lines of poetry on the fan.

My heart was racing, and I remembered that until now, I didn't even know his name.

I held my breath and waited expectantly for him to make the payment.

He stopped abruptly, glanced sideways at me again, and then put pen to paper and wrote down his name. "Xiao Chu."

I said it silently in my mind.

"Xiao Chu."

I read it out loud, pondering the name as if I had heard it somewhere.

I couldn't remember it after all, and my eyebrows jumped and jumped, as if the wound that had scabbed over and healed began to hurt again.

Raising his hand and rubbing his head, I was secretly sad, but he pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Yes, my name is Xiao Chu, Miss Ye has to remember." ”

"I didn't tell you my name, how do you know?"

As soon as the words came out, I realized that Cui'er, who must have brought water and food for him, told him.

My face turned red unconsciously, I raised my head and began to look at Xiao Chu seriously, the first time I saw it was in the carriage, I uncovered the heavy dà that the man in black left behind to wrap him, and I was shocked by his extraordinary appearance at that time.

At that time, his eyes were red and swollen and he couldn't open his eyes, but all the facial features on his face were beautiful.

At this moment, looking at the corners of his mouth and the smile on his lips, I suddenly thought that if he was well and the white cloth on his face was removed, how bright and beautiful those eyes would be.

"Yes, I remember."

Although Xiao Chu couldn't see me, I still lowered my head to avoid his "gaze" and said in a low voice

The man in black arrived three days later than the agreed time.

Eight days later, at noon, it was a drizzly morning. There was a knock on the door outside the Qinglian Temple.

At that moment, I was playing against Xiao Chu in the pavilion, and he played extremely good chess. I am far from his opponent.

The white character of my self has been trapped in a corner by his sunspot, and he is about to be defeated.

Xiao Chu raised his hand and was about to drop a word. I was accidentally disturbed by a knock on the door, and I was in the wrong place.

I smiled in surprise: "This is the most critical point, if you are wrong, it is my chance to turn defeat into victory." ”

Xiao Chu was silent for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, if you fall into the wrong place, you will completely rewrite the ending." ”

The man in black walked quickly. But I was already waiting outside the pavilion silently, and I realized that Xiao Chu's return date had arrived

On Qinglian Mountain, on the edge of the bamboo forest outside the nunnery, Xiao Chu was helped by the man in black to board the carriage.

I stood in the doorway wistfully and watched him go up. But I don't know when I will have the opportunity to meet this time.

But the man in black in the carriage suddenly got down and strode towards me.

He stopped in front of me, his bright eyes scrutinizing me as he had seen me for the first time.

He spread out his palm, revealing a lovely jade pendant. Holding it in both hands, it was handed to me.

"Miss Ye, this is what the young master asked me to give to you."

"He still has a few more words for me to pass on to you."

"When I got back, my eye was healed. Half a year later, he will come to see you again. ”

With that, he quickly mounted his horse and set off with the carriage.

I took the jade pendant, the pattern on the top is engraved with the phoenix bird among the auspicious clouds spreading its wings and dancing, and I looked at it for a long time before I quietly gathered it into my arms

Half a year passed in a hurry, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I set off again from Daye's Yefu to Qinglian Mountain.

This trip was not as long as the last time, just a few days.

The carriage passed through the woods where they had met, and I made a point to stop the groom.

Finding out the task entrusted to me in the past, I met him under the tree, and I stood alone for a long time.

It wasn't until Cui'er behind me urged me again that the group set off again and started to go up the mountain.

The mountain road was bumpy as always, and I don't know if it had rained the day before, but halfway up the mountain, half of the wheels fell into the quagmire as soon as the carriage staggered.

The horses struggled several times, but could not pull themselves out of the mud pit.

Cui'er and I got out of the carriage one after another, hoping that the car would be able to get out of trouble after the weight reduction.

After working hard for half an hour, even I tried my best to push with Cui'er, but I still couldn't solve the problem.

Just when he was at a loss, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance behind him.

The horses neighed, and at the bend of the mountain road, a young man in white came galloping like a galloping horse, and tightened the reins in front of me, and he looked at me with a smile on his horse and said, "Girl, you need my help." ”

The mountain breeze blew his long hair like inky clouds.

The young man on the horse was in a beautiful posture, and on his embossed handsome face was a pair of eyes as bright as the spring river in March, and his eyes looked at me enthusiastically, and the corners of his mouth were even more familiar to me.

"Girl, do you need my help?"

He asked with a smile, then got off his horse and stood in front of me, with a smile in his eyes, and he whispered, "I'm here for half a year." ”

"Why did you come alone this time?"

I casually dropped a piece and looked up at Xiao Chu on the chessboard.

He smiled faintly and said, "General Liu went to the northwest to escort the envoys, and I came out quietly in the name of hunting in the West Mountain." ”

My heart was rippling, I had already guessed his identity, so when I heard it, even if I was dull, I knew that the person in front of me was indeed noble.

Not only that, but he also came from a neighboring country. "You mentioned last time that if you have big eyes, you have to do something you don't like to do, have you started to do it now?" "Yes," he said to me, his eyes blazing, "I don't want to hide it from you, so I'll start doing it." “

There was a flash of gloom in my eyes, and the chess piece in my hand landed in another place without being called, away from the position I wanted.

Xiao Chu paused and said with a smile: "I remember the game of chess when I left half a year ago." ”

He raised his hand and picked up a chess piece, touched it soothingly, and then couldn't help but smile: "This time, it's you who is wrong." ”

"What's more, I'm in front of you, and you don't pay attention to playing chess. Disrespecting the opponent is the biggest mistake, and today, you have to be punished! “

I put away that little melancholy thought. also smiled: "You lost a game of chess to me that day, and you were never punished." If you say that you are going to be punished today, you have to come first. "What's so hard about that?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled, "But I have a word first, I admit the punishment, and you are not allowed to deny it after a while." “

Xiao Chu stood up and paced to the edge of the pavilion, looking at the cluster of orchids we had painted half a year ago was still delicate.

He cleared his throat. He smiled: "In my family, if you lose a game of chess, you will punish the losing opponent for singing a tune." ”

"Although I haven't played before, I've heard my mother sing a few songs." "She played against my father. Always losing, always losing, but the two of them are happy to do it, and they don't know what's interesting. "When my father came back, it was a time at home. I often heard my mother's singing. “

He looked around, lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Don't sing too loudly, don't ruin my reputation." “

As soon as these words came out, I swept away my previous melancholy and couldn't help but purse my lips and laugh. "Are you worried you're going to go out of tune?"

Xiao Chu glanced back at me. said extremely seriously: "Really, if you don't sing well, don't laugh." “

At the edge of the orchid bush, he opened his mouth and sang slowly: "People are quiet at the beginning, the moon is bright, and the jade plum is obliquely reflected outside the screen window." Plum blossoms laugh at the shadow, and when the moon sinks, they are generally lonely."

His voice was originally extremely good, this song was only a few words, but he sang it very movingly, but just, I frowned and smiled: "This is a song of resentment"

The tune sounds tactful and far-reaching, but it implies the loneliness of being alone.

"Who's to say it isn't." He stepped closer to me and said, "I just imitate my mother's voice, can you hear me?" ”

I moved the corners of my mouth, shook my head, and smiled, "Not really." ”

I hesitated, "Is it just that your mother often sings this song?" Singing when you're home alone? ”

He nodded and said, "My father hasn't stayed at home for as long as I can remember. ”

"He was always out and about, usually for months."

"When he came back, the atmosphere at home was very happy, and when his mother was with him, he liked to play chess, and when he lost, he would sing this song to him." "Your mother missed him after telling him about her parting." I sighed.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Chu raised his head and smiled: "I can't admit punishment alone, I just said okay, now it's your turn." ”

I cleared my throat and said, "Then you have to listen." ”

"People are quiet at the beginning, the moon is bright, and the jade plum is obliquely reflected outside the screen window. Plum blossom laughing people rest the shadow, when the moon sinks, it is generally lonely, "I sang it back to him as it was."

When I spoke, he first looked expectant, then stunned, and finally when I finished singing, he couldn't hide his smile. "Or do you sing more like my mother." "That's natural, we're all women, and our voices are similar, so we don't necessarily imitate it better than you as a man." "You did it on purpose." He pointed at me.

I said seriously, "I didn't mean to, it's just that I never learned to sing, and this is the first song I sang." “

Two days later, Xiao Chu was ready to leave again, and I stood by the bamboo forest outside Qinglian Nunnery to see him off, just like last time.

He turned over and got on his horse, looked back and smiled: "Remember, it's still half a year's appointment, I won't miss the appointment, and you shouldn't be late." “

After speaking, he lowered his eyes and said, "Counting the time of hurrying, I will stay for two days at most, so if you have something to delay, I can wait for you in Qinglian Nunnery for two days." ”

I ran over, stopped beside the horse, raised my hand to brush the smooth hair of the red horse, took the reins he was holding, looked up at his eyes, and said, "I will not miss the appointment." ”

"It's just like you, you can only stay for a few days, if you don't come, I'll wait for you for two days."
