1181, spark
- Ruan Luo didn't say anything immediately, just silently walked to Mo Ye's side, and then looked up at the angle she was looking at the sky just now.
There are more than 10 million stars, Ruan Luo can't find the star that Mo Ye looked up at just now, he knows this himself, and he still does this, just trying to participate in the state of mind when Mo Ye looks up at the starry sky.
Today, listening to Ye Nuonuo's relaying of what Mo Ye said in the boudoir made Ruan Luo quite surprised, although he told others that it was Mo Ye's unique way of enlightening Ye Nuonuo, but this did not mean that he had no doubts about it in his heart.
At this time, the voices of people in the surrounding environment gradually quieted, and when he saw Mo Ye looking up at the stars in the sky alone, the doubts in his heart naturally surfaced in his heart.
His question just now was just a side tap, seeing that Mo Ye's answer was a little vague, Ruan Luo paused slightly, and then asked what he really wanted to ask: "So...... Are you thinking about what you said that afternoon? β
Mo Ye tilted her head to Ruan Luo when she heard this, and subconsciously wanted to say the three words "I don't", but she only opened her mouth to say the word "I", and the next two words suddenly hesitated in her throat. Her hesitant tone, whatever the content of what she was about to say, was more like an acknowledgment than a denial.
Hearing that she almost admitted something, Ruan Luo's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't immediately say some comforting words to Mo Ye, but asked slowly: "Everything has its two sides, you know this, right?" β
Mo Ye nodded, but a puzzled look appeared on her face again. It's not that she doesn't know what Ruan Luo said. I just couldn't guess what Ruan Luo wanted to say next.
According to common sense, Ruan Luo wanted to comfort Mo Ye at this time, even if he mentioned the two-sided nature of the matter in his words, the next thing to say should be biased towards supporting Mo Ye's good aspects.
But in fact, what he said next was just a conceptual exposition of a matter, and he did not favor anyone.
"There are two sayings about 'broom star' in folk, one is to sweep relatives and friends, it is to sweep away evil stars, and the other is to sweep away evil and dispel evil. It's for the lucky stars. I had a period of barracks life when I was a kid. There is a class of warlocks in the army who look at the sky, regardless of whether they have the ability to look at the sky or not, in short, they also have two opinions about the kind of stars that will drag the afterimage across the sky. One is the celestial phase that portends the disappearance of the big man in the world. One is the celestial star monarch who descends to the mortal world. Bring auspiciousness. β
After slowly saying this, Ruan Luo moved his gaze to Mo Ye, and then seemed to be speaking to someone. It's not like just now, almost talking to yourself.
He asked Mo Ye: "There are four theories that I know, but there are not many places I have been to based on my footprints, so it is not difficult to guess if there will be more theories." It's just that there are so many views, how should people who have heard of them choose to believe them? β
Yes, why should we believe it?
Mo Ye's thoughts, unconsciously, had been driven and pulled by Ruan Luo.
Ruan Luo saw that Mo Ye's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he was no longer as confused as when he looked up at the starry sky just now, he smiled slightly, and then said: "If you analyze it carefully, it should not be difficult to find that the two sides of this kind of statement are actually two extremes, and they also contain two answers. β
Mo Ye finally couldn't help but say, "This also has an answer?" β
"Yes." Ruan Luo nodded slightly, "It just depends on whether you are willing to adopt it." β
Mo Ye's eyes condensed slightly: "What is it?" β
"The answer is also two extremes." Ruan Luo smiled slightly, and said slowly in a tone that was almost between calm and serious: "Either you don't believe it at all, or you study it seriously." β
Mo Ye was surprised and hesitated: "This kind of ...... Is it also possible to delve into it? β
"I haven't learned this kind of knowledge, so I can't answer this question for you personally, but I did see a kind of people in the military camp when I was a child, who can observe the sky and measure the situation, but they can only passively peep into the sky, not actively control it." Ruan Luo said this, and also pondered for a moment, then he raised his hand to the sky and said slowly: "It's like when I point to that cloud and say that there is a star behind it, but in fact, what I said is that I saw it before you, not that I can conjure a star out of thin air. β
There was a thick look of confusion in Mo Ye's eyes, and she didn't speak again.
Ruan Luo suddenly smiled, spread his hands and said: "Let's go back to the question of 'broom star', this thing is like a magic barrier, if you don't believe in it at all, it will disappear by itself; if you believe in this set and study it deeply, you can control it for your use; but if you half-believe it in your heart, it will become a kind of magic barrier that traps you, meaningless, but it can harm you, so that nothingness may also have a substance." β
Mo Ye fell into silence, and after a long time, she muttered as if she was talking to herself: "When is it false, when is it true, how to believe it or not, and what is the trade-off?" β
Ruan Luo was also silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Believe it from time to time, if you don't believe it, you don't believe it, how to draw the criteria in your heart, care about your heart, can you control your own heart?" β
Mo Ye looked at Ruan Luo, and when she looked at him, although she still hadn't made a choice in her heart, she could already feel the peace in his eyes, as if she was explaining something.
Suddenly, Mo Ye suddenly remembered the eyes of another personβthe young man he met on the beach.
The calmness in the young man's eyes was slightly similar to Ruan Luo's gaze at this time, but when he thought about it, it wasn't always the case. If you take the young man as a reference, although Ruan Luo's eyes can be extremely calm, at least they can still have some warmth, and when the young man looks at people with his eyes, it seems that he is just looking at a dead thing.
How was he able to look at the sky like that?
Just as Mo Ye was distracted, she suddenly felt the light in front of her flicker, and a strange sound similar to grease burning came at the same time. As soon as Mo Ye subconsciously raised his head, he saw a lantern hanging under the eaves of the house, and suddenly it was on fire, and the flames quickly jumped on the rope that tied the lantern, and saw the lantern crumbling......
When Mo Ye's eyes drooped slightly, she suddenly exclaimed: "Fire! Be careful! β
Her voice just fell. Before he could think about it, he leaned over and bumped into Ruan Luo.
When Ruan Luo also saw that the burning lantern was about to fall, he was slightly stunned at first, and then he also looked at the angle where Mo Ye was standing, but before his eyes could settle, he was thrown to the ground by Mo Ye who rushed over.
As Mo Ye and Ruan Luo fell to the ground together, the lantern above their heads finally fell with the light of the fire.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ruan Luo saw where the lantern had fallen, which seemed to be on the feet of the two of them. Whether it will burn their shoes, or whose feet will be burned specifically, Ruan Luo didn't know, he just suddenly forgot the numbing feeling of his back hitting the ground. In an instant, I mustered up my strength. Stretching out his arms, one hand wrapped around Mo Ye's waist, and the other hand clasped the back of her neck, hugging her and rolling out half a circle on the cold and hard stone steps.
Originally, Mo Ye pounced. Push him to the ground. It's just a moment's work. The positions of the two of them have been reversed.
The lantern that fell from the eaves of the house fell to the ground, and the oil contained in the lamp splashed on the lantern paper. The bright light of the fire seemed to light ten lanterns at the same time, illuminating every inch of the space under the eaves very clearly, and also illuminating a pair of young men and girls who looked at each other at a very close distance on the stone steps under the eaves.
In order to avoid the sudden fall of the fire lantern, both of them were extremely nervous just now, but the two of them really couldn't expect that the result of avoiding the fire would become like this, and both of them couldn't help but be stunned, and they could only hear each other's heartbeat: fast, very heavy.
In addition, the air seemed to freeze at this moment, and the two of them seemed to be pointed at the same time, although there was a voice in their hearts shouting: "This is not appropriate", but both of them lost the strength to move almost at the same time.
The lantern behind the feet of the two of them was overwhelmed by the flames that overwhelmed the energy it could burn, and the radiant flames lasted for a very short time, pouring out its whole body, and it only burned for a few breaths, and then fell into darkness in an instant.
The light was too short, and the darkness came quite suddenly, and this visual experience of alternating light and dark seemed to condense the substance, shattering the air that froze the two men.
The light in the surrounding environment suddenly dimmed, and the hearts of both of them suddenly sank together.
Ruan Luo quickly moved away from Mo Ye, and after standing up, his hands tugged at the hem of his sleeves a little uncomfortably. Mo Ye didn't stand up, she didn't dare to look at Ruan Luo's face at this time, so she just sat in place and turned her face away.
There was a lantern missing under the eaves, which made the light where the two of them were standing much dimmer than elsewhere, and the expressions on their faces became blurred and difficult to distinguish.
Ruan Luo, who was standing, glanced sideways at Mo Ye, who was sitting on the ground, his body suddenly stiffened, and after a moment of silence, he said in a very low voice: "I'm sorry, I almost ...... when I saw that lantern just now."
"I know." Mo Ye suddenly opened his mouth and intercepted Ruan Luo's words, "I'm fine, I'm ......"
At this time, as long as she heard Ruan Luo's voice, she would remember the way the two of them looked at each other just now, and she couldn't admit the shame in her heart.
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she found that she didn't even dare to listen to her own voice at this time.
It's as if it's just a matter of silence at this point.
But a few steps away, there were already family members in Ye Mansion who found a lamp "blind" under the eaves here, and the two family members with lanterns in their hands quickly moved closer to this side, which also brought light.
Ruan Luo looked sideways at Mo Ye again, and saw that she had already stood up from the ground, her face was a little closer, and he could see a faint blush on her cheeks.
Ruan Luo suddenly couldn't control it, and somewhere in his heart moved.
Although Mo Ye stood up, he kept his head slightly down, did not look at Ruan Luo, and did not speak.
Seeing this, Ruan Luo subconsciously looked to the side. He looked sideways like this, in fact, he wanted to avoid looking at Mo Ye, but when he turned his head, he saw that the two family members were already very close.
Ruan Luo condensed slightly, and suddenly said in a low voice and quickly: "You stand behind me." β
Mo Ye was stunned when she heard this, raised her head slightly, and saw that the clothes in front of her were floating, and Ruan Luo's back blocked her line of sight - and at the same time, it also blocked the sight of the two family members who approached.
Although Ruan Luo was thin, he was long, and he was a head taller than Mo Ye. He stood in front of her, his shoulders covering the top of her hair, and even though the two family members could still see that there was a young girl standing behind Ruan Luo, it was difficult to see the flush on her face.
The family members vaguely recognized Mo Ye's identity and knew that she was the maid carried by the Song Mansion Ruan Gongzi, so they didn't ask much or say anything. Ruan Luo said in front of all the servants of the Ye Mansion that day that his health was not very good, so it was normal for him to have an inseparable maid by his side.
Ruan Luo instructed the two family members to change the lanterns in an orderly manner, and also instructed some matters to guard against the fire at night. His expression and tone were calm as he instructed these things, as if what had just happened under the eaves had dissipated for him in an instant.
Then, he led Mo Ye out of there.
The two walked for a distance, and saw that the figures of the two family members changing the lights were far away, and then turned to the back of a house, Ruan Luo's mood eased slightly, and he subconsciously glanced back at Mo Ye, but saw that she was gradually walking slower and slower, and she was already several steps behind.
Ruan Luo hesitated for a moment, then he stopped and turned to look at Mo Ye, as if he was waiting for her, and as if he was about to say something to her.
Mo Ye realized this, and only then did he speed up his pace.
When Mo Ye got closer, Ruan Luo said casually: "Are you still thinking about what happened just now?" β
Mo Ye suddenly heard his words, her face couldn't help but be embarrassed, and the flush on her cheeks that had just faded was almost about to be revealed, she suppressed her voice and muttered only two words: "No ......"
Ruan Luo smiled faintly and said, "I mean stargazing." β
The embarrassment on Mo Ye's face suddenly froze, and when she mentioned this, it was like pouring a scoop of cold water on her slightly hot cheeks, which made her spirit cool down suddenly.
It's okay not to mention it afterwards, but mentioning it again will only make Mo Ye have another thought in her heart, and the second activation of this idea will bring her a deeper and clearer experience than the first thought.
It's not a good idea.
Mo Ye, who had been lowering his head slightly, faced Ruan Luo, gradually raised his head, a look of struggle appeared in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Brother Ruan, have you ever thought that maybe if I continue to stay by your side, it will be ......?"
Ruan Luo suddenly raised his palms slightly, stopping Mo Ye's momentum of wanting to continue. He was silent for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said, "I suddenly regret that I shouldn't have talked to you about this today." I wanted to help you sew up the gap in your heart, but my skills were not good, so I widened the gap instead. β
"No......" Mo Ye shook his head, and gradually lowered his gaze again, "It's my own mind that is too weak to control my own mind." β
Ruan Luo also shook his head when he heard this, and said slowly: "You don't look like a weak person, the scene just now was in front of the woman, and there are not many people who can throw themselves into the fire like you." βγ (To be continued......)
