Chapter 9: Where the Song Falls (5)
Night fell, and the mirror-like moon hung in the sky, pouring out the light of flowing water over the vast land. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info lit up on the street, and the candles gently reflect the people coming and going on the street. The night breeze is slightly cool, with a vague aroma of herbs.
Luo Jingmo and Gu Sheng went alone, Lu Xiaoren originally wanted to follow to play (as a light bulb), but the two of them walked too fast, Lu Xiaoren just ran out, the two disappeared, and she had to return helplessly.
She was lying on the bed in a 'big' shape, staring at the wall in a daze, and after a long time, Lu Xiaoren still couldn't sleep...... (Nonsense with eyes open)
So she decided to go out and get some air.
The environment in ancient times was much better than in modern times, and every night, if you wanted, you could see the stars in the sky as soon as you looked up. Lu Xiaoren looked up, saw the stars at the first sight, and saw the figure at the second sight. A cold sweat broke out all of a sudden. But when I looked closely, the figure was slightly familiar.
"Xiao Yu?"
Xiao Yu sat on the roof beam, the night breeze caressed his hair, he held a jade-colored wine jug in his hand, his eyes looked into the distance, as if he was looking at something, and seemed to be reminiscing. Hearing Lu Xiaoren's shout, he glanced down at her slightly.
"Isn't it cold for you to wear so little?" Lu Xiaoren glanced at Xiao Yu's thin coat and asked.
"Those who practice martial arts, this cold is not enough to worry about."
“…… All right. Lu Xiaoren paused and looked around. Nothing found. She looked at the wooden house again, considering the possibility of climbing up...... In the end, I decided to climb.
Lu Xiaoren clasped the protruding part with his hand, and his feet kicked the wood, looking like he was climbing up with difficulty.
Xiao Yu: "......" He jumped down from the roof, holding the wine jug in one hand and bringing her up with Lu Xiaoren's waist in the other.
"Ah, thank you. You're such a nice guy. Lu Xiaoren said with a smile.
Xiao Yu didn't answer, and continued to drink one sip of wine.
"It's rare to see you drinking...... Well, since I knew you, I haven't seen you drink. Lu Xiaoren glanced at Xiao Yu curiously, "Is today a special day?" ”
“…… Well. Xiao Yu replied lightly, "My sister's death day." ”
“…… Uh, sorry. Lu Xiaoren was stunned. She wanted to cause some conversation and not be so silent, but she didn't expect to touch the wound.
seems to be the reason for drinking, Xiao Yu's words are much more difficult: "My sister is very good, I made mistakes when I was a child, and she always begged my father not to beat me." Or when the confinement is over, risk being punished together to bring me a small snack. ”
Xiao Yu took another sip of wine and said, "It's just that I'm an elder brother, but I haven't been able to protect her...... She's a very clean person, what those people do to her...... She hanged herself the next day. ”
It's miserable. Lu Xiaoren sighed.
"But I can't avenge her...... That's the royal guy...... You can't implicate the family......" Xiao Yu finished speaking, and swallowed the remaining wine in the pot at once.
Lu Xiaoren didn't know what to say, she pursed her lips and said, "No, you are a good brother...... At least she's always alive in your memory and never fades away. ”
“…… Well. Xiao Yu closed his eyes and opened them again, "It's late at night, go back to sleep." Without waiting for Lu Xiaoren to say anything, he jumped into the house from the window with Lu Xiaoren in his arms and put her down.
And he himself jumped onto the roof again.
Lu Xiaoren scratched his head, stood in place and struggled for a while, and finally threw himself on the bed and slept with his eyes closed.
????????
"What's the matter, Luo Jingmo?" Gu Sheng was obviously a little surprised, and Luo Jingmo called himself out.
Luo Jingmo stood in place, raised his head and stared at Gu Sheng, and said, "There is no Duan Lingdan in the box. ”
Gu Sheng suddenly felt that his blood had coagulated: "What? ”
Luo Jingmo took a deep breath and said, "Duan Lingdan was taken away...... Although Lu Xiaoren is your friend, she is the most suspicious. It was only you, me, and she who had touched the box, and -- you saw it today, right? ”
"She's an ordinary person, but she can leave a martial arts practitioner behind. It is impossible to grow so much at once. So ......" Luo Jingmo didn't say any more, but looked at Gu Sheng meaningfully.
Of course, Gu Sheng understood what Luo Jingmo meant, and she felt her throat choke: "...... But she saved me......"
"Maybe she'll just see that you're soft-hearted." Luo Jingmo shrugged, and then said, "Don't you want to avenge your family?" If you want to prove your identity, you have to have evidence, and Duan Lingdan is the best evidence. ”
“…… But isn't there no Duan Ling Pill? ”
Luo Jingmo showed a slightly bloody smile, which was incompatible with his warm surface: "There is another way...... As long as the time did not exceed three days, the Duan Spirit Pill could be dug out of that person's stomach. ”
Gu Sheng's fingertips were cold, she opened her mouth, and finally nodded with a very small margin.
"Then Gu Sheng, you put this in her water cup." Luo Jingmo took out a paper bag from his pocket, "This can be fatal with one blow." Moreover, it can strengthen the Duan Ling Pill to prevent the Duan Ling Pill from being damaged in the process of taking. ”
Gu Sheng's trembling hand turned into a small paper bag and held it in the palm of his hand.
????????
Lu Xiaoren slept in a daze, his mouth was dry in the middle of the night, he had to open his eyes to look for a water source, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a person standing there upright, so scared that Lu Xiaoren didn't feel sleepy at all.
When the man saw that Lu Xiaoren was awake, he moved his body slightly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Awake?" ”
"Oh my god!" Lu Xiaoren could tell who it was, "Gu Sheng, it's scary for you to stand there in the middle of the night!" It's like a ghost! ”
"Haha." Gu Sheng tugged at the corners of his mouth and barely smiled.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Xiaoren noticed that something was wrong with Gu Sheng.
"Nothing." She shook her head and handed over a glass of water, "I'm very thirsty when I just got up, drink it." ”
"Thanks." Lu Xiaoren took the cup, "I was indeed awakened by thirst." She brought the cup to her lips, and Gu Sheng kept staring at her.
“…… Are you okay? Lu Xiaoren put down the cup and said with concern, "It can't be Luo Jingmo bullying you, right?" ”
Seeing Lu Xiaoren put down the cup, Gu Sheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then became nervous again. Hearing Lu Xiaoren's question, he relaxed slightly: "...... No. It's nothing. ”
"No, no, you're my friend. I'll have to help you with any questions. Lu Xiaoren patted Gu Sheng's shoulder, "Say, whoever bullied you, I'll beat him!" ”
Gu Sheng turned his head and said, "No, you think too much." Drink water. ”
Lu Xiaoren raised his eyebrows: "Okay, then let's talk when I finish drinking water." She reached for her cup and drank it up.
Gu Sheng lowered his head to the floor, not daring to look up at Lu Xiaoren's face.
