Chapter 52: The Past Is Like Smoke (1)

In an abandoned Zizhu courtyard in the south of the imperial capital, Duan Chengcheng, who was only six years old, was practicing his skills and feet in the garden. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The spring cold is steep, the cold wind blows through the bamboo forest, blowing a few strands of hair on her forehead, fine beads of sweat on her eyebrows, and a pair of smart and shining eyes, as if there is still some indifference that rejects people.

She gathered her breath in her palm, her small figure moved lightly in the wind, and the strength in her palm was like a knife.

A chaotic sound of footsteps approached her, the unfamiliar breath frightened her, and the murderous intent appeared in her immature eyes. She turned around and slammed the blow towards the intruder.

"Ah...... Don't kill me!! Before the palm arrived, the other party was frightened and screamed by the menacing her.

She was slightly startled, her eyes tightened, how could she be a child? She immediately deflected the wind in her palm, and seventy percent of her strength fell on the wall next to the man, and in an instant, the courtyard was full of smoke and dust.

The little boy clung to two strings of sugar gourds in his hands, but he was frightened into a cold sweat, and he looked at the wall that she had hit, and swallowed unconsciously.

"Oh my God, how did you do that?" He looked at her in amazement, dumbfounded.

Such a big wall, she slapped a big hole with one palm, if this palm really fell on him, he must not be allowed to see Lord Yama immediately?

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" She asked in a low voice, not answering his question.

"That...... I didn't mean to, I just got lost just now, and when I saw that there was no one living in this courtyard, I came in. The little boy said.

She looked at the little boy with a hint of indifference in her innocent gaze.

"Then you can go now." She said.

The boy shook his head when he heard this, "I'm not going, I'm lost, I'm going to wait here for someone to pick me up......"

"How old are you to get lost?" She glanced at him disdainfully, and when she saw how he was dressed, he was a treasure held in the hands of a rich family, a young master who didn't know the suffering of the world.

"I don't think you're big, why do you always talk like an adult......" he retorted unconvinced.

She was speechless for a moment and said, "Then it's okay for you to stay here, but you are not allowed to disturb my practice." ”

"You're still practicing? It's already so powerful, and if you practice again, you should become fine......" He looked at her incomprehensibly, and took a bite of the sugar gourd in his hand by the way.

"Hmph, what do you know?" She turned around indifferently, intending to continue practicing.

"I really don't understand." The boy leaned against the wall to watch her continue practicing, and then raised his hand to look at the two strings of sugar gourds in his hand.

"Hey, do you eat sugar gourds?" He asked.

"What?" She glanced back at him, and then at the tempting string of sugar gourds in his hand.

"I don't eat ......," she shook her head vigorously.

"Why don't you eat it?"

"My father-in-law said that it is something that only children love to eat...... she said solemnly.

The little boy laughed, "But you're obviously a child." ”

"I ......" she was speechless, only bowed her head and did not speak.

He walked over and handed the sugar gourd to her, "You taste it, it's sweet." ”

She hesitantly took the string of sugar gourds from his hand, but she just held it in her hand and did not move, and raised her clear eyes to look at him from time to time.

He was a little uncomfortable by her, and tilted his head shyly, "Look at what I'm doing, eat it, I didn't poison the sugar gourd......"

She didn't look at him again, but opened her mouth and gently bit the sugar gourd. The sweet and sour taste melts into the tip of the tongue, and the sweetness spreads, melting the layers of coldness at the bottom of the heart. In those originally cold and indifferent eyes, a smile like stars gradually appeared.

Hearing that she didn't move, he turned his head to look at her, but saw her smile slightly on the corner of her lips, smiling with crooked eyebrows. The delicate little face has a pink color like peach petals, which is really beautiful.

"You look so good when you smile." He said.

She was slightly stunned, but turned her face away a little unhappily, "My father-in-law said that I can't believe the nonsense that the boys say. ”

"That's someone else, and I'm telling the truth." He corrected unconvinced.

"I don't care anyway." She glanced at him, and happily took a bite of the sugar gourd on the bamboo stick.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet...... " he said.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Allure, Duan Allure."

"Allure?" His eyes lit up, "That's a nice name......

"What about you? What's your name? ”

"I ......" His eyes turned slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "My name is Ayu, you can call me Ayu in the future."

"Ayu?" She frowned, "It's like a girl's name......"

"Hmph, you're like a girl!" He stomped his feet angrily, expressing strong dissatisfaction.

She blinked innocently, "But I am......"
