(172), just like before

Shi Yi lowered his head and picked up the petals on the ground, as if he hadn't heard Mo Ye's words, and didn't answer for a long time.

After Mo Ye was silent for a while, he asked again with a slight timidity in his tone: "Brother Xiaoyi, did I give you a nickname to make you unhappy?" Then I'll still do what you said, call you Brother Xiaoyi! ”

As soon as Mo Ye finished saying this, Shi Yi glanced up at her, his expression didn't look like he was angry, but as if he had just come back to his senses from a trance. He looked at Mo Ye and suddenly smiled, and said: "I'm not angry, I'm not so easy to get angry, think about it carefully, ants are much stronger than Xiao Yi!" ”

He moved a few steps away in a squatting position, and continued to pick up petals on a newly fallen street with many petals, and continued in a slow voice: "My seven aunts and eight aunts are still sleeping!" But I rested very early last night, and at this hour I couldn't sleep anymore, knowing that today was the Spring Apocalypse, so I slipped out. ”

"So, you're here alone?" Mo Ye was slightly surprised.

"Isn't it possible? I'm 12 years old, and I should have the ability and freedom to walk around. Shi Yi said, a little hesitation gradually rose in his tone: "A twelve-year-old child, shouldn't he be considered half an adult?" ”

He saw the puzzled look in Mo Ye's eyes, and added, "As for the question you really want to ask, I think if you think about the relationship between your master and my seven aunts and eight aunts, you shouldn't be difficult to figure this out!" ”

Mo Ye suddenly said: "That's the same!" ”

"Silly." Shi Yi glanced at her and saw her appearance, and two words with beating notes popped out of his mouth. Before Mo Ye could react, he moved closer to Mo Ye's side again, and said warmly: "Under the public." It's a day like today, why are you writing on this street, but you have to write your own name? In that moment, you forgot why your master took you to live in Xingjia Village? ”

Mo Ye's heart sank slightly when he heard this, and then he felt a trace of gratitude for Shi Yi's sabotage just now, and said admittedly: "I really forgot just now. Thanks for the reminder. ”

"It seems that your master must have protected you well. It really makes me jealous and hateful! Shi Yi sighed with a sense of jokingness, and then he said in a slightly deep voice: "It's not like me...... If you don't get some things yourself, you won't have them automatically delivered to your door, so long after. Naturally, a habit will arise in the heart. But since your master brought you here, it doesn't matter if you really don't know this way, or if you haven't gotten used to it yet. Some vigilance still has to be learned slowly. ”

Mo Ye nodded in agreement with Shi Yi's point of view, and at the same time, his eyes suddenly changed and asked, "Speaking of vigilance, why did we only meet for the first time yesterday." Can you tell me so many things? ”

"You're different from ordinary people, I already knew some things about you before I met you, so yesterday's meeting can't be strictly said to be the first meeting." When Shi Yi said this, he suddenly stopped talking, changed the topic abruptly, pointed to the ground in front of him and faced Mo Ye and asked, "Look, does this person have a distressed face and a very sad look?" ”

"It's a bit expressive." Mo Ye honestly expressed her thoughts on the figure that Shi Yi had just quickly posed in front of her with flower petals. At the same time, he questioned: "But this is not a person's face!" No nose, no ears, and no hair. There are only two points that symbolize the eyes, and one that can be seen as the curvature of the lips. ”

"The eye is the door of the heart, the heart cannot be common, the mouth is the door of shape, but the shape can be constantly changed; Anything else, thought he had, and he had. Shi Yi said and stretched out his hand to move the upper hanging moon arc made of petals that represented his mouth slightly, turning it into a lower hanging moon arc, and at the same time asked: "Look, so he is like smiling, between bitterness and happiness, he only needs to change the shape a little bit, isn't it interesting?" ”

Following Shi Yi's prompt to see the smiling face pattern on the ground that was so simple that it couldn't be simpler, Mo Ye also felt the 'very interesting' thing that Shi Yi felt, she clapped her hands and praised a few times, originally Shi Yi had said a few words before using the petals to make her puzzled, but now she temporarily forgot about the new things she saw.

……

There is a small lotus pond between the wooden pavilion waiting for the forest cedar and the apricot fir auxiliary road, and it is close to the wolf's tooth city wall, so there are not many tourists who visit this place. After the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes arrived, his two attendants put the food box in their hands on the stone table in the pavilion, and after a salute, they left the pavilion, along with Li Gai's attendants. The three warriors walked together to a place about five zhang away from the pavilion, and then sent out a word and stood beside the Xingshan auxiliary road, so that there were originally a few tourists who had come unintentionally, and when they met the torch-like gaze of these three people, they naturally turned around and left.

Although it is said that the main purpose of the emperor's Spring Festival is to enjoy the monarch and the people, after all, this is the emperor's home, and most people are still willing to gather on the main road of Xingshan. The main road is located in front of the boxy charred gray palace building, separated by a wide platform paved with burnt gray floor tiles, visitors can see the palace building at a glance, but at the same time, the wide view makes the royal mansion feel much less oppressive due to the earthquake, and it is easier for people to feel calm when they are on the main road.

If someone can swim to a secluded place and still be at ease, and participate in the Spring Apocalypse Flower Festival and bring a military attendant, then this person is very likely to be a DPRK official traveling in a micro-service, and no one with a little vision will insist on approaching to join in the excitement when other people's martial servants are not kind to each other.

After the people in the Chinese costume sat down at the stone table in the pavilion, there was a sound of footsteps of the patrol army marching on the city wall behind the pavilion, but the footsteps did not pass here, but the pavilion was in a section of the city tower facing directly from the wooden pavilion, and the soldiers' clothes and armor could be faintly seen between the city walls.

Lin Shan then sat down opposite the Huafu people, and the two looked at each other calmly, speechless for a long time. Li Gai opened the lids of the two food boxes by himself, and brought out two plates of dim sum, a plate of cold cut beef, and a pot of wine from them. When he finally took out two white porcelain wine glasses, he couldn't help but open his mouth and finally broke the quiet and somewhat frozen atmosphere under the pavilion: "Boss, where is my wine glass?" ”

"I said that I would come together, but you took the first step by yourself, and you should be punished for not drinking." The man in the costume smiled slightly, lifted the wine jug and filled the two wine glasses, moved one glass in front of him, and pushed the other glass to Lin Shan.

Lin Shan helped the wine glass pushed by the Huafu man, and finally opened his mouth: "Big brother......"

Lin Shan only said two words, but in these two words, he seemed to suppress a lot of words, and he had no clue what he wanted to say.

"In order to prevent some people from having a plan, although the Spring Enlightenment Festival has the same name as the National Canon, in addition to the fixed period of the internal celebration, the external Spring Enlightenment period is different every year. You're finally back, and it's just in time for the festival, and you can't help but be happy. Today, the three of us brothers have a small gathering, and no matter what the courtesy of the kings and ministers, it is like before. The man in the costume raised his wine glass and sent half a step into the air towards Lin Shan.

Lin Shan also raised his wine glass, touched the wine glass in the hand of the Huafu man lightly, and he said at the same time: "Okay." ”

……

Shi Yi led Mo Ye to walk in the shade of the flowers, although the play of using petals to put patterns on the ground just now made Mo Ye feel novel, but for him, it was something that he was almost tired of playing, so he didn't play for a while, he sprinkled the petals in his hand that had not been finished, clapped his hands and stood up, and Mo Ye followed.

After walking for a while, when he was about to reach the turn where the left end of the main Xingshan road meets the auxiliary road, a petal falling in the air happened to hit Shi Yi's eyebrow peak, making him subconsciously stand on his feet, and when he reached out to brush it, he saw that the petal was light, and when he just raised his hand, it slid away against his face.

Shi Yi unconsciously raised his head to look at the apricot shoots floating from the petals, and suddenly said softly: "Ye Xiaomei, I remember your master's name, it's a 'cedar' character!" ”

"Hmm." Mo Ye nodded, she was a little puzzled, since Shi Yi could ask this question, he must have already known the answer, but he still asked again, is there anything to say?

Then she saw Shi Yi turn around, raise her palm to meet the crown of a cedar tree beside Mo Ye, and said with a smile: "Most of the cedar trees are just like the one next to you, the trunk is straight and straight, and there are few branches that can affect its growth angle, giving people an upright and impartial spirit. Therefore, in front of the palace gate, such two rows should be symbolically planted, even if it is an emperor like the previous dynasty, it is also affected by its charm! ”

Mo Ye's eyes showed a hint of novelty, and he said with a double meaning: "Is that so?" ”

Shi Yi didn't answer and asked, "Isn't that so?" There are two meanings in his words.

Mo Ye was silent when he heard this, and he didn't speak again for a long time.

Shi Yi moved his gaze from the canopy of the cedar tree beside Mo Ye to her face, and after a quick glance, he took another step and walked towards the opposite side. When he passed by Mo Ye, Mo Ye also turned around a little sloppily and continued to walk slowly behind him.

After walking a distance, Mo Ye suddenly spoke: "Listen to Seventh Sister, you gave yourself your name?" ”

"Hmm." Shi Yi didn't look back.

"What's the meaning?"

Shi Yi said lightly: "A, B, B, and B, there is no profound meaning, it's just that I think it's better than no name!" ”

After he finished explaining his name, he glanced at Mo Ye and said, "Your name should be left by your parents, based on the versatile image that your master left in the hearts of my seven aunts and eight aunts, such a strange name should not be from his handwriting." ”

Mo Ye couldn't help but feel a little unhappy when he heard this, and said with a slight frown: "Is it as bad as you say?" ”。 (To be continued.)
