Chapter 18: Heart-to-heart talks
Rannuo sighed, hugged himself, and squatted in the corner of the wall to count the ants.
"General, long time no see." The plum blossom fairy, dressed in white like the moon, lifted the curtain from the inner room, stood still in front of the feather-clad man, and gave a formal salute.
"Military ...... Army Division. The feather-clad man stammered, and he didn't know where to put his hands in a panic.
I haven't seen you for three hundred years, goodbye you are still that dusty young man, and my hands are covered with blood and dirty, like this......
The plum blossom fairy looked much more relaxed than the feather man, but in fact, the roots of his ears were already red, he went straight to the point, and asked with a smile: "Has the general's mind changed?" β
Before the feather-clad man could answer, the plum blossom fairy reached out to cover the feather-clad man's mouth, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow: "The general doesn't have to rush to answer. This time, let the subordinates talk about it first. General, your subordinates are pleased with you. β
The feather-clad man froze in place, his face flushed like a lantern, and he was dizzy. It was probably the happiest thing he'd heard in 300 years.
The plum blossom fairy was very satisfied with the reaction of the feather-robed man, the corners of his lips rose slightly, and he continued: "General, you listen to the explanation of your subordinates. Three hundred years ago, it was a misunderstanding.
"My so-called lady is just a fiancΓ©e, she has never been husband and wife, nor has she ever had a husband and wife relationship, she was given to me by Ling Yousai to spy on me.
"Ling You is suspicious by nature, and he already suspected that you and I had the intention of rebelling, which led to all the later things.
"I was very happy that you made your heart clear to me that day, but she saw it and spread the rumors, and I could only pretend to be ruthless.
"Who knew that Ling You wouldn't let you go. At that time, I was imprisoned by him, and I didn't know that you were ...... by him" Plum Blossom Fairy said this, her eyes reddened, and she choked up, "General, I'm sorry...... It's all my ......."
The feather-robed man was even more panicked, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the face of the plum blossom fairy, and said gently: "Ah Zeng, I don't blame you, it's all over......"
"Later, I learned that the habit of breaking sleeves was just an excuse for Ling You to kill you, and the people who killed you were not ordinary people, but sent by Ling You.
"I didn't expect him to be so intolerant of you. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I know sorry doesn't work, but I still have to say, General......" Plum Blossom Fairy took the hand of the feathered man and looked at each other.
The man in the feather coat gently wiped away the tears falling from the plum blossom fairy: "Ah Zeng, don't cry." I'm going to be distressed. I really don't blame you, you don't want to say sorry or anything......"
Plum Blossom Fairy smiled and continued: "Ling You is greedy for pleasure, the people are not happy, the Yan family revolted, I defected to the Yan family army and gave them advice.
"After Ling You's death, he became the demon king and led the demons in the demon world to bring disaster to the world. There was a master who suppressed him here, and for three hundred years, I didn't dare to go down the mountain, because I was entrusted by the master to watch over him.
"Today...... Now Ling You will not come out again, and it is the luck of his subordinates to see the general again.
"I don't want the general to change his mind, but I beg for ...... General, will you give your subordinates a chance? General, subordinates like you. β
The feather-clad man was born and lived for more than three hundred years, and he did not receive so many frightes and surprises in one day.
"Ah Zeng, my mind has never changed."
"General......
"Azen ......"
The corner of the wall behind Ran Nuo didn't hear it, and was sent back to the official post by the plum blossom fairy with a spell.
Oh, man.
See you and forget your friends, huh.
"It's so decided, the gentleman said, the horse is hard to chase."
Ranno fell on all fours, "Oops-" and cried out.
"Who?!" A flying knife came out of the door and landed at Ranno's feet with a "bang".
Then the door was pushed open with a "bang", and He Qianyun saw that someone had put the sword back, and stretched out his hand to pull Ran Nuo up: "Senior sister, why are you here?" β
Immediately afterwards, Yan Chenyi and Feng Suixin also walked out of the house: "Xiaonuo? β
Ran Nuo patted his chest in shock: "Senior brother, you murdered your own junior sister......"
He Qianyun touched his nose embarrassedly: "It's not me, it's him." As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Yan Chenyi.
Yan Chenyi coughed lightly: "I'm sorry, I don't know ......"
Ran Nuo waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay......"
He Qianyun's reaction was wrong: "Senior sister, why are you here if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" β
Ran Nuo rubbed his waist that was about to break, and looked bitter and hateful: "It's not about the feather coat and the plum blossom fairy, I went to be a hindrance, and the plum blossom fairy kicked me back." β
"Poof-" Feng Suixin couldn't hold back and laughed.
He Qianyun glared at Feng Suixin, who immediately put away his smile and put on a serious face.
He Qianyun said sternly: "Senior sister, you can't go out with a man at night in the future, do you know?" It's dangerous. β
"Senior brother, can't you either......" Ran Nuo whispered.
He Qianyun was a little helpless: "This is different......"
"But ......" Seeing that He Qianyun was about to start reasoning again, Ran Nuo immediately changed his words obediently, "Got it, senior brother...... Wait, you're still talking about me?
"What are you guys trying to figure out all day, I heard ...... just now?"
He Qianyun gasped: "What did you hear?" β
Ran Nuo puffed his waist and prepared to turn around and leave: "...... Senior brother, if you lie to me again, I will ignore you. β
He Qianyun grabbed Ran Nuo: "Don't, junior sister, you listen to my explanation......"
Rannuo stood still and looked at him for a long time: "Okay, you say." β
"That...... Can't say ......" He Qianyun said hesitantly.
Ran Nuo had already guessed nine times out of ten: "I know, is it right to go to Gusu?" β
He Qianyun didn't speak, but his expression had betrayed him.
Ran Nuo sighed: "Senior brother, I know, you are for my good. But I can't run away for the rest of my life, can I? The knot in the heart always has to be untied. β
"Senior Sister ......"
"I'm fine."
Ran Nuo turned to Yan Chenyi and said, "Brother Chenyi, Brother Suixin, I'm fine, tomorrow, let's go to Gusu?" β
"Okay."
Poetry Cloud:
When you go to Gusu to see you, everyone sleeps on the river.
There are few idle places in the ancient palace, and there are many small bridges in the water port.
The night market sells water lotus root, and the spring boat carries Qiluo.
Knowing the sleepless moon from afar, homesickness is in the fishing song.
In the territory of Gusu.
The galaxy was about to turn and dance, and it was late at night outside, and a small boat was floating quietly on the lake.
He Qianyun was already vomiting, and was helped by the wind to take medicine, and the people who supported the boat also went to rest.
Ranno sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the moon.
Yan Chenyi walked out of the cabin, stood behind Ran Nuo, and handed her a jar of wine: "What?" Thinking of something sad? β
Ruan Rannuo didn't reply, reached out to take the wine, opened it, took the cup, poured two glasses, handed Yan Chenyi a glass, smiled slightly, and said: "It's nothing, it's just touching the scene, remembering some past events." β
Yan Chenyi took the wine cup and sat down beside her: "I want to hear it, can Xiaonuo talk about it?" β
Ran Nuo's eyes drifted to the sky, and the corners of his lips hooked: "That was a long time ago......
"At that time, I was about two years old, and my master and brother and I didn't live in the mountains outside Xianyang City, we lived in Gusu.
"Master said: 'One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people', Jiangnan women are gentle and elegant, follow the customs of the locals, and imperceptibly, is it that you will not be so ugly if you stay in Gusu for a long time.
"I was angry for a long time, and even though he was telling the truth, I ran after him down the street. So we settled in Gusu.
"In the first year, I just stayed at home and rarely went out.
"I am destined for the 'Heavenly Evil Lone Star', and Master is afraid that I will be discovered, so he can only hide me at home. Actually, I'd love to hang out.
"We lived in Gusu for a few years, and then one day, a male doll came in through my dog hole, and I was squatting in the corner and counting ants, but it scared me.
"He was scared of me too. I asked him who he was, and he asked me who I was, and I said I couldn't remember, and he said I was a little fool, and I was so angry that I wiped his face......
"If you don't fight, you don't know each other, and after coming and going, we will know each other.
"That boy used to go through my dog hole to play with me, bring me food, tell me about the outside, and he was my only friend at that time.
"Then one day, the boy doll died suddenly, and I had the concept of 'life and death' for the first time.
"Then a Taoist priest came, saying that I was the Heavenly Demon Lone Star, saying that I had killed him, and that if I continued to live, I would kill more people.
"They were going to kill me, but my master came, and it was the master who protected me and scolded the Taoist priest. But the people didn't believe my master's words.
"So my master took me and my brother to an unknown mountain outside Xianyang City and built an unknown Taoist temple to live in.
"When I'm alone, I wonder what happened to that little boy, whether he will resent me, hate me, hate me.
"I think it's good for him to blame me, to hate me, to play and admit it. But over the years, I have seen a lot of demons and monsters with my master and brother, but I haven't seen him again......
"He is a very good person, maybe he has been reincarnated in a good family...... I have a human life on me, but I have been living a good life......
"It's ridiculous...... Every time I dream back to that day at midnight, I am afraid, afraid, and avoided.
"Even for so many years, Master and Senior Brother didn't dare to say the word Gusu in front of me.
"I think...... It's time to untie the knot and give the little boy an explanation. β
Seeing that Ran Nuo was a little drunk, Yan Chenyi pressed her hand to pour the wine, and looked at her fixedly: "It's not your fault." You're not some solitary star. β
"Huh?" Ranno looked up dimly.
"It's them who are wrong. You say, if you are a lone star, why are your master and brother all right? Me and Xiaofeng are all right? β
"But...... But...... He's really dead......" Ranno's voice was a little crying.
Yan Chenyi sighed in his heart: "Xiaonuo, have you ever thought about it...... In case of...... Is the little boy still alive? β
"Huh?" Ranno's mind was dizzy, and he didn't understand his words too much.
"Arnold, let me tell you a story." Yan Chenyi's words changed and said.
