Time is like watching flowers, and people are tired of being idle for a long time.

Hua Wei faintly felt that this life was not very pleasant, and under the calm surface, there seemed to be something cruel like deep cold ice water, which was about to undersurge.

After that night of questioning and talking, it became more and more difficult for her to see the figure of her so-called brother Baili Shangliang, as if she had returned to the past, not to see or talk.

When he was a little bored, he took a bag of melon seeds to the backyard to talk to the kind-looking old slave.

It has been two or three months since I came to Baili's house, and the relationship that should be ripe, the eaves are almost ripe. However, I don't know if it's because of the age of life, the only people who can really talk about it are the big housekeeper Uncle Zhang and the old slave in the backyard who often laughs at himself and can't name it.

In the remote backyard, a thin old man was sitting on a small bench and was doing carpentry, when he heard the sound of slightly heavy footsteps behind him, he hurriedly got up to see that it was the young lady with a gloomy face who was walking slowly towards this side.

"What troubles did Miss Young encounter this time? Come, tell me about the old man. The old slave smiled kindly.

This smile made Hua Wei feel more cordial, and immediately his steps became much easier, and he walked straight into the courtyard, threw the melon seeds on the stone table, looked up to the sky for a few seconds and sighed, and finally his eyes fell on this old slave whose name she couldn't name.

"Uncle, you say, I'm so uncomfortable, is it because I have amnesia or because I'm stupid?" Hua Wei asked with a frown, extra serious.

The old slave was slightly stunned, he didn't expect the plain, cheerful and indifferent young lady to say such a very melancholy thing, stopped what he was doing, looked up and said, "Why does the young lady think like this?" ”

Hua Wei shook her head, and fell on the table coyly, the cold touch made her feel even more sad at the right time, and after a long time, she suddenly spoke: "The eldest brother has been very decadent recently, and he didn't come to mess with me when he got better, and many times I saw him sitting alone in front of his room drinking, I called him, and he answered, and then continued to drink." As he spoke, he propped up his chin with both hands, and continued to say sadly: "Actually, I think he ignores me, it's nothing, but it's uncomfortable, the eldest sister said that the moth was forced out by me, I only felt inexplicable before, and now I think about it, and I'm a little sad." ”

At this time, Hua Wei sobbed quietly, and then turned his eyes to the old man who was patiently listening to her, and the depression in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Everybody understands those things, but I don't. In fact, I've read a lot of house scripts, but what I see is a little different from what I see with my own eyes. ”

Hua Wei said this very honestly. As far as the body is concerned, the mind has been fully revealed.

The old slave sighed softly, "The young lady is still young, her mind is too simple, and it is normal that she doesn't understand that." ”

The eaves who were worried were choked by these words, and looked at the old man deeply, and he was speechless for a while. She didn't understand what this understanding had to do with age, thinking about it, she was a monster who had lived for five hundred years, and in terms of age, she was enough to last several eras.

Hua Eaves looked stiff, and suddenly felt that those things that she had been unable to understand were actually very simple.

She is a fox demon, different from humans after all, five hundred years from the mountains, in the past, she has almost never been in contact with the breath of the well lane. Just like a dog who doesn't know much about a cat's attachment to mice, she is a demon mountain overlord, and it is difficult for her to understand these rights and wrongs in humans.

From the beginning, it was a different identity. Although she has recently felt that she has adapted to this place physically and mentally, those things, when it comes to it, are also difficult to care about.

Si Ming said that it was easy to cultivate immortals in the past tribulations, presumably because the tribulations were too complicated and too deeply involved.

"Be cheerful, young lady." The old man continued to comfort, while continuing the carpentry work in his hands, "The road of life is still very long, now I look so melancholy, how can I be better in the future......"

Hua Wei straightened up, smiled, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

In the past few days, she has been more idle than before, and she has become depressed in her heart, but at that moment, she has already figured it out by herself, so she no longer needs comfort at this time, let alone the comfort of mortals.

After thinking about it in my heart, I felt that it was not interesting to be comforted by this sad topic, and immediately thought that I should find a side to transfer to the past. Then the two of them ate melon seeds together, drank tea, and passed the day away.

He nodded his head too much, and his attitude had changed by seven or eight points compared to before.

"What the old man said is, I understand, I'll make you a cup of tea."

As soon as he said that, he was about to leave, and as soon as the old slave said the truth, the inspiration burst out one after another. While he was doing the carving activity carefully, he glanced at the eaves again, shook his head and sighed: "Fang is so sad, the old man can't listen to you anymore?" Actually......"

“……”

I really understand, uncle, Hua Wei sighed silently in his heart that he always likes to do this kind of self-digging grave thing, and immediately made a decision, and quickly threw out a question sentence that had been held in his heart for a long time.

"That old man, what's your name?"

This question was indeed confused in her heart for a long time. Hua Wei vaguely remembered that the old man had a name, but the name was more special, not called Lao Li or Lao Ma, a little complicated, she just forgot. Judging from her cheeky personality, it's completely embarrassing to forget her name once and ask for such a thing a second time. I have no choice but to use too few memories on this, and I have forgotten it very thoroughly, along with the matter of asking for names.

The old man, who was interested in reasoning, was stunned for a moment when he heard this question.

"The old slave is called...... Call...... It's called Crazy Ridge, and the direct translation is probably the mountain where the madmen get together, Ha Luha. He hesitated for a while before he could utter a complete sentence, and his voice became weaker and weaker.

"Huh?" The eaves didn't hear clearly, and they were even more curious to utter another monosyllable to express their doubts.

The old man stopped what he was doing again, raised his head, and looked a little distant: "The old slave was born in an extremely poor place, and he said that he had his own name, and even living was a problem. Speaking of this, his tone actually fell a little emotional, "It was the master who gave me a name and gave me a life." ”

Hua Wei sighed for a while, but she didn't expect to hear such a difficult and positive story, thinking that the father she couldn't understand had such a kind side, and she sighed for a while.

"Uncle, it's really not easy for you to ......" Hua Wei sighed sincerely, and then still doubted: "However, why does my father want to call you Crazy Ridge?" ”

The old man chuckled, "The place where the old slave was born is called 'Crazy Ridge', and the old man said that people, don't forget the original intention, you have to always, so the old slave named that place." ”

“……”

The eaves almost fell off the stone bench. Suddenly remembered that when he was young, he forcibly occupied the name of the mountain for himself, and it was a convenience at that time. Immediately, I felt a sympathy for the old man.

At the same time, another kind of thought is swirling in my mind - to put it mildly, the name of the eaves is still much better than Bailixun, and it is also ...... Be much more realistic.

——?——?——?—— darkness, the damp and moldy smell filled the tip of the nose, filling the whole emptiness of the people.

It doesn't matter if you close or open your eyes, Baili Tang curled up in the corner of the wall, little by little the warmth he had once gained was consumed, and his heart gradually became cold.

Such a dark place made her longing for death stronger and stronger.

It is better to die in such a season, and the body will merge with the earth and mud more quickly, and it will always be better than the fate that is doomed from the beginning in the vast snow.

She thought about her life, and there were many regrets and many unsatisfactory things. But after all, she belongs to him, she already belongs to him completely, and that's enough.

With a thud, the faint candlelight tore a hole in the darkness. A faint figure was reflected on the long stone steps in and out, and with the sound of footsteps coming slowly from the silence, a more and more huge black shadow was torn out on the wall next to the stone steps.

"I've thought about many possibilities for the East Window incident, but I didn't expect that you would talk to that girl. My sister, you have become so pitiful for a vain desire. Baili Chu walked slowly down the steps, and with each step, he took a deeper look at the man curled up in the corner.

At a distance of three feet, it stopped at the beginning of a hundred miles. The good sisters of the past now look at each other as if they were irrelevant people, and as if they were enemies.

Bai Li Tang raised his dirty face, and a mocking smile bloomed on his lips.

"Pathetic?" She laughed rampantly, and asked rhetorically: "I want to know that the gods are coming to disturb me, Baili Xun is disturbing me, and even you, my sister who is very good with me, is also disturbing me like this, what do you mean?" ”

Baili Chu moved slightly and squatted down, with a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, looking at it was still as warm as a pulse, but the words he said were extremely cruel: "In order to destroy the Baili family, I have no other way, you know, I have always been very annoyed by this place that gave birth to me and raised me like ants." What's more, my dear sister, I have only made a scene, and the choice is still in your hands. It seemed to be squatting numb, and then he stood up again, and the smile on the corner of his lips extended all the way to the bottom of his eyes, "Acacia Gu...... Hehe, wouldn't it be good if you broke off that lovesickness? If it is broken in time, how can it be? ”

Bai Litang raised his head and stared, but his expression collapsed in a minute, half loud, and he said lightly: "You are crazy." ”

In three words, it is abruptly calm and sharp.

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Baili Chu laughed wildly, the corners of his eyes were raised, and his gaze became more and more fierce: "Crazy is crazy, sister, you see that the children from our Baili family will never be happy!" ”

At the end of the sentence, he bent down again to approach Baili Tang's gaze, and his voice was so deep that it seemed to be pressed down by a boulder.

Bai Li Tang stiffened and still shrunk into a ball, raised his eyes and replied excitedly in a cold voice: "That's you!" Not us! I ......"

A retching interrupted the already resentful tone. Bai Litang covered his mouth violently, and his body bones, which were originally trembling, became weaker and weaker at this time.

In the midst of the confrontation, she wanted to reach out and slap her sister twice, and she also wanted to point her forehead, which was still smooth in the dim light. But she had no strength anymore, and she was often nauseous and retching lately, and she could feel that her nutrition was being taken away by a mass of things that should not exist in the eyes of everyone.

Bai Li Chu was slightly stunned, looked at Bai Li Tang who was covering his abdomen, and suddenly understood something. pressed enough playful rhyme, straightened up again, and took a few steps back and forth around Bailitang: "Ha Lu Ha Ha ...... My dear sister Tang, or ...... Let me tell you something, right? ”

The faint Baili Tang kicked her and did not speak.

For a long time, in the cramped darkness, a cold and unreal voice rang out: "Sister, do you know the way?" The eldest brother will marry the young lady of the Gongliang family in the near future...... It was the seventh day of the sixth month. ”

This opening was full of laughter, and it turned back through the damp and moldy wall, and fell low on people's hearts, which must be said to be a very cruel sentence.

Baili Tang was originally lying on his stomach and curled up in a soft body, but at this moment, he was as stiff as an arrow on a string.

And the cruel words didn't stop because of her increasingly painful expression, "When the two families chose a day, the auspicious day of the zodiac happened to fall on that day, and your brother Shangliang didn't have the slightest objection. After a pause, he smiled very sarcastically, "You are hiding this matter tightly, I quietly inspected the most tongue-chewing girl in the house, and I didn't even mention it at night." ”

Baili Tang was stunned, his eyes looked directly at the invisible place in the dark, his eyes didn't blink, and he was empty, as if his soul had been sucked away.
