Chapter 17: The Dream of Fireflies

The night is as cool as water, the heat of the autumn night is gradually subsiding, the air is no longer hot and unbearable, and there is a little more refreshing.

The horse called 'Qingli' in the stable next to it is obviously a key protected animal, in Ruan Ge's words: not only does he use a single room alone, but his diet is also a delicacies of the mountains and seas among the horses.

Ning Mingchen said that this horse has a bad appetite recently, and it is true that he has just come down from the battlefield and needs to adjust for a while.

Ruan Ge still has a lot of research on the habits of animals. It replaces the hay in the trough with fresh grass, and the water in the trough with freshly beaten sweet spring water. Cleaned the stables inside and out, sprinkled with water. People have a good effect of recuperating in a clean and tidy environment, and Ruan Ge believes that horses will like it too.

When I was done, it was almost midnight.

Ruan Ge was lying on his back in the haystack, with a wheat straw in his mouth, looking at the starry sky in a daze.

The beaten right side of his face hurts hotly, and he doesn't need to look in the mirror to know that it is swollen like a pig's head. Ruan Ge secretly cursed Xia Xueqing, that shrew, she must have nightmares tonight, and it is best to be scared to death in her dreams.

It is not as lively as the starry sky on a summer night, and the sky on an autumn night is much quieter, and it seems far away and vast. A Milky Way runs across the sky, and the starry sky is in full view, which is magnificent.

There were too few opportunities to see such a scene in his previous life, and Ruan Ge suddenly felt a lot better when he looked at such a beautiful scenery. She realized that this shijie was so beautiful, and she should put her eyes on something more meaningful!

After admiring the starry sky for a while, Ruan Ge stretched his waist and prepared to sleep beautifully.

Hey? Stars moving? One, two, three shimmered and moved. Ruan Ge jumped up from the grass bunk, and looked closely at the moving stars, but they turned out to be fireflies flying in the night sky.

In autumn, fireflies should rarely appear, probably because there are many shrubs and lush plants around the camp, and fireflies may attach themselves to the autumn grass and come out at night.

The sudden appearance of the starry green light filled Ruan Ge's heart with warmth and joy.

Her thoughts returned to the quiet summer night in her hometown, in the yard of her grandmother's house, and her mother gently shook a fan for her to drive away mosquitoes. She would count the fireflies in the night sky and fall asleep.

In my previous life, there was a legend in my hometown that when I saw many fireflies flying under the starry sky, I could see the person I missed the most.

Ruan Ge is willing to believe that this beautiful legend is true, she tried her best to look at the little insects like carrying small green lanterns, and couldn't help singing a children's song: The black sky is low, the bright stars are flying with the insects, the insects are flying, you are thinking about who, the stars in the sky are crying, the roses on the ground are withering, the cold wind blows the cold wind, as long as you accompany the insects and flowers, sleep with a pair of pairs of talents, not afraid of the dark, only afraid of heartbreak, whether tired or not, regardless of the southeast, northwest, fireflies accompanied by poignant songs, faintly flying, flickering bright, flickering, flickering, Draw beautiful arcs in the air.

She reached out to catch the flying elves, but they deftly passed under her hands, and she kept reaching out to catch them, but her hands were empty; Her vision blurred, and she struggled to keep her eyes open to see more clearly, but she couldn't see clearly.

When the wind blew, she felt a chill on her face, and when she touched it with her hand, she realized that she had already burst into tears.

Ruan Ge stood there dumbfounded, looking at those fireflies, they were like beautiful and ephemeral dreams, which he could see but could never touch.

She turned away in disappointment and didn't look anymore. But suddenly bumped into a person's body.

She opened her mouth in surprise and just wanted to make a sound, when an index finger was on her lips, signaling her not to make a sound, Ruan Ge's lips felt the temperature of that finger, it was very cold and icy.

By the starlight, from the figure of the figure was a man opposite, dressed in a dark robe, with a silver mask on his face, revealing only a pair of deep black eyes, but indifferent.

Ruan Ge didn't know how long he had been standing behind him, but he preliminarily judged that this person had no intention of harming him, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now to be discovered by himself.

"Who are you?" Ruan Ge asked in a low voice.

The man didn't make a sound, but took out his right hand, which he had carried behind his back before, holding a delicate glass bottle in his hand. The stars in the bottle were dazzling, and there were many fireflies gathered together.

Ruan Ge looked at the bottle in amazement, she wanted to touch it with her hands, but realized that the bottle was still in the hands of people, and retracted her hand pitifully.

The man saw Ruan Ge's small movements in his eyes, and a gentle light flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He handed the glass bottle to Ruan Ge, and Ruan Ge asked tentatively, "Can you give me this?" She looked at the man across from her in surprise with wide eyes.

The man nodded slightly.

Ruan Ge happily took the bottle and played with it in his hand, up and down, left and right, looking carefully and looking at it. Many fireflies gather together, and the pale green fluorescence is refracted through the wall of the glass bottle, making it appear more crystal bright, as bright as a lamp and candle.

She just can't put it down.

When she remembered to thank the person in front of her, she looked again, only to find that the surroundings were empty, and the person was nowhere to be seen.

It's like he's never seen before, only the glass bottle full of fireflies in his hand proves that he really existed.

Ruan Ge was very confused by the appearance of this person, but he was very grateful to him for giving him such a lovely gift.

Ruan Ge held the glass bottle like a treasure, she held it tightly in her arms, and lay down on the grass bunk again. This time she slept quickly, and it didn't take long for her to let out a slight snoring sound.

A figure crept out of the darkness in the corner, wearing the silver mask.

He looked at Ruan Singer holding the bottle tightly and her smiling sleeping face, and stood silently for a while. Eventually, he flew up and ran into the distance at great speed, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

This night, Ruan Ge had a beautiful dream. I dreamed that in the small yard of my grandmother's house, the adults gathered around to talk about the world, and I and my friends were happily playing in the yard.

The grapes on the trellis were ripe and fragrant, and they wanted to pick the delicious grapes, but they found that there were many fireflies in the yard.

Like a small green lantern, she and her friends chased those cute elves and put them in beautiful glass bottles.

Her mother shook her fan and smiled and said to her, "Ge'er, slow down, be careful of falling." ”

She jumped and ran happily, and then turned back to her mother and said, "Mom, you see, Ge'er catches the most fireflies!" ”

I didn't pay attention to the soles of my feet, but I tripped and fell to the ground. The sharp sting made her want to cry, and then a big hand hugged her small body.

She saw that it was a man with a silver mask, his eyes were dark and cold, but she felt that his embrace was incomparably warm.
