The long street of the ancient town fell silent in the middle of the night, and the local residents had already slept, except for the occasional jolt and walk under the eaves with a stick.

"Ah~...... Woo~~......"

There was a soft gasp coming, and Ning Qingye, who was lying upright, opened his eyes and listened attentively, but there was no sound, as if it was just an illusion.

But if it was a hallucination, how could she have such an illusion?

Ning Qingye frowned slightly, with a little weirdness on his cold face, and after thinking about it a little, he could only be regarded as a little couple in a foreign town, and his voice was accidentally louder in the middle of the night.

There was no light in the room, and the lanterns of the inn were printed on the window paper, dragging a few shadows in the room, swaying and showing a lot of silence.

Ning Qing's eyes like a spring at night looked at the lantern in the window, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, he didn't feel sleepy anymore, just like staying alone in Changqingguan and staying on Junshan Island in the past.

In the dead of night, when the mind is always the most active, the big and small things that will not be thought about during the day will be recalled in the mind, making it difficult to sweep away, unable to sleep, and unable to think through.

What am I doing...... What to do in the future......

Except for the revenge that is difficult to avenge in this life, it seems that there is no meaning in life......

By the way, Xu Danqing painted for me, I am now Bakui, I forgot to tell Xu Buling about this, he will probably be surprised when he hears it......

What's the use of him being surprised, and I have nothing to do with him......

After thinking about it, I don't know how long it lasted.

Ning Qingye wanted to close his eyes and fall asleep, but found that the night was incomparably long, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so he finally lifted the futon, sat up, and looked at the door.

People are social animals, and no matter how cold they are, there are times when they want to chat, and when Master is not around, who can they talk to......

Xu Buling......

Passing by Li Hansheng, Ning Qingye's mood fluctuated too much, although he didn't know what to say, he still stood up.

In the dim light, Ning Qingye was wearing a warm white lotus belly pocket, which was exactly the same as Ning Yuhe's, which was sewn by Ning Yuhe herself.

When wearing the white dress, Ning Qingye paused for a moment and glanced down.

Since childhood, she was born beautiful and famous, Ning Qingye's figure is very outstanding, it can be seen from the size of the dare and the full branch, tall and slender limbs, from the fingertips to the feet are perfect to the slightest flaw, before the new Bakui has no wind, she is already a rare beauty in the rivers and lakes.

Ning Qingye didn't care much about these things in the past, he only thought about practicing martial arts and revenge in his heart, and never applied powder, Qingqing was cold. But now that I'm a Bakui, I have to pay a little attention......

Thinking like this, Ning Qingye raised his hand to hold his belly pocket, and hurriedly put down his hand, as if he was afraid of being seen by outsiders.

I didn't walk the rivers and lakes with rouge and gouache, and I didn't even have a decent hairpin, so I didn't seem to be able to dress up. Ning Qingye hesitated, sorted out his hair with a comb, coiled it into a delicate hanging cloud bun, changed into a white dress, dressed neatly, and walked out of the door, wanting to take the saber with him, but in the end he put it in the house.

There were not many guests in the small inn, and the lobby doors were closed, so not even a single guy could be seen.

There are four upper rooms in total, Xu Buling and Nightingale live in the middle, Ning Qingye is on the left side, and Zhongli Jiujiu lives on the right side.

Ning Qingye's footsteps were light and silent, like a white-clothed ghost floating in the corridor, he came to the door of Xu Buling's room, hooked the hair around his ears, and brewed emotions a little, before raising his hand and knocking:

"Senior brother, have you slept, I have something to talk to you about."

used the tone of an elder, after all, on the rivers and lakes, senior brothers and sisters are elders, and she can't let her be a senior sister and talk to her junior brother softly.

The room was quiet, and after a long while, the nightingale's muffled voice remembered:

"Childe is asleep, is there anything wrong with Miss Ning?"

Ning Qingye frowned slightly, separated by a wall, Xu Buling's martial arts were so high, even if he was really asleep, he should wake up, and let the maid open her mouth to refuse guests, obviously she didn't want to see her......

Ning Qingye's personality has always been straightforward, and the other party doesn't want to see her, so she naturally won't put a hot face on her cold ass, and responded softly: "Got it", and turned around and walked to her room.

However, after taking two steps, Ning Qingye paused again, he was already depressed and wanted to talk to someone, but he was turned away, so he was naturally even more upset.

She clenched her fists, looked back at Zhongli Jiujiu's room, thought for a while, walked over and raised her hand and knocked:

"Hey~ Are you asleep?"

"Ah~......"

This time, the response was very fast, Zhongli Jiujiu seemed to be startled, let out a low snort, and then silently, as if pretending to be asleep.

"Humph......"

Ning Qingye couldn't say anything about Xu Buling, and he was not polite to Zhongli Jiujiu, and when he saw that the other party was awake and pretended to be asleep, he covered his face with his sleeves and gently pushed the door open.

Naturally, there is no hidden weapon on the door.

After Ning Qingye made sure that he hadn't fallen in, he stepped into the house.

The room was black and hollow, there was nothing but the table and chairs, the bed curtain was lowered, and it was tightly covered, and there was a pair of embroidered shoes on the ground, which seemed to have rested.

Ning Qingye walked to the table and sat down, sat up straight, and said calmly:

"Ye Jiu Niang, let me talk to you about something."

窸窸窣窣窣......

Zhongli Jiujiu behind the curtain seemed to turn over, and a slightly sleepy and tired voice sounded:

"Qingye, why are you here so late...... I've fallen asleep, and it's cold, so I won't get up......"

The voice was strange and depressing, like enduring pain.

Ning Qingye frowned slightly, stood up and walked towards the curtain:

"Are you hurt?"

"No ......"

The voice behind the curtain showed a little anxious: "I just woke up, I was tired a few days ago, and I don't want to move, forget it, I'd better get up......"

When Ning Qingye heard this, he naturally didn't open the curtain again, turned around and sat down, his voice softened a little:

"Don't get up, I'...... I'm just here to talk to you about something, excuse me. ”

Babbling –

Zhongli Jiujiu picked up a corner of the curtain, lay on his side, and only poked his cheeks out from the hem of the curtain, as if he was afraid of the cold pack very tightly, and smiled softly: "Say it." ”

Ning Qingye swept his eyes and found that Zhongli Jiujiu's cheeks were flushed and there were some beads of sweat, and he wondered, "Are you very hot?" ”

"I'm afraid of the cold, so the quilt is thicker."

"Oh......"

Ning Qingye nodded and said seriously, "I'll come here...... It's to talk to you about Xu Buling. What are you approaching Xu Buling for? I know that you are not a big evil person, but there are many small problems, I am Xu Buling's senior sister, and I always have to care about him...... Xu Buling needs your help, Master and I can't say anything, so the past grievances will be put aside for the time being, but if you have bad intentions and want to plot against Xu Buling, I will still deal with you. ”

Bad intentions?

I'm going to die......

Zhongli Jiujiu was sore and soft, and he forced himself to smile calmly: "Your master and I were just joking, there were indeed some inappropriate and annoying things back then, and now I have long thought about it...... Approaching Xu Buling, huh...... I want to accept apprentices and compete with your master......"

"Sure enough......"

"It's not! I've already thought about it, and I won't fight with your master. The people in the rivers and lakes are not all here to eat, so I don't want to give me such a high price, just use the money to do things......"

Ning Qingye frowned slightly, and after thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing wrong with the logic. She was just in a depressed mood and wanted to find someone to talk to, but now that there is no topic, she is a little embarrassed.

Ning Qingye thought for a while, and his eyes swept over the red candle on the table, which had burned out, leaving a few candle tears. She wondered:

"How do you light two candles?"

Zhongli Jiujiu frowned, gently pushed the Xianggong who was messing around behind him, and said with a difficult smile:

"Xu Buling gives a lot of silver, I don't know how to spend it, order one and look at one, I'm happy to ......"

？？

Sick......

Ning Qingye was speechless, her eyes looked to the side, and she saw the tea and blue wine gourd on the table, this was Xu Buling's wine gourd, she naturally recognized it.

Ning Qingye frowned: "Xu Buling has just come?" ”

Zhongli Jiujiu bit his lower lip tightly, and his breathing was a little unsteady: "I've been here...... He had injuries on his body, and I showed him that I wanted to use the wine as a primer for medicine...... I left the wine behind and took two sips to relieve my boredom......"

Ning Qingye looked at the tea-colored wine gourd, and didn't know what he remembered, and his eyes were momentarily lost:

"Yes...... In the past, his wine gourd was vermilion, and he gave it to Miss Song...... When I was in Chang'an, he saved my life, and he gave me a sip at that time, and the wine gourd was very beautiful......"

Zhongli Jiujiu was embarrassed, and when he heard this, he hurriedly answered:

"If you like it, take it."

？？

Ning Qingye's eyes were full of inexplicability, and he turned around: "It's not your wine gourd, how can you give it to me?" ”

“……”

Zhongli Jiujiu really couldn't help it, and with the action of turning over, he pinched his back fiercely, and said softly:

"Xu Buling doesn't drink anymore, the wine gourd can't be used, I wanted to use it to charge medicine, he ...... But he refused, saying that he was going to give it to you, but he never had a chance to speak...... Hehe, you happened to be here today, and I mention ...... by the way."

"Oh......"

Ning Qingye was suspicious, glanced at the wine gourd, and did not reach out to take it, but said lightly:

"If you want to send him yourself, it's just a big man's twist......

"I'm afraid you don't."

“……”

Ning Qingye blinked his eyes, feeling weird, and didn't want to talk to Zhongli Jiujiu about these private matters, so he stood up: "Excuse me, you can sleep first......", and walked out after speaking.

Zhongli Jiujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to be pulled back when Ning Qingye suddenly paused in front of the door again, almost scaring her to death.

"Qingye, what's wrong?"

"Hmm...... The matter of the wine gourd, don't tell Xu Buling, he just wants to send it to him, if I know, he can't send it......"

"Oh, I understand."

Squeak –

The door closed, the footsteps faded away, and the room fell silent......
