Seventy-three, the mind

As Ping'er said, Lan Yang took her to a garden behind the Torch Keeper Hall, which was actually a vegetable garden now.

The slope of the terrain is slightly slower, and a large open space is divided into a neat rectangle, which seems to have just been renovated, and it is estimated that Tongbo will grow vegetables here after a while, right? Zhuo Xi couldn't help but think of the slope of Luocaoling again.

The higher she went, the steeper the terrain became, and Lan Yang kept reminding her to pay attention to her feet. Looking up, there was a gazebo not far from them, and it was estimated that Lan Yang was going to take her there.

Zhuo Xi followed Lan Yangshen and walked up one foot at a time, the road on it had not been repaired for a long time, and the faster he got to the pavilion, the more difficult it was to walk.

Seeing that Zhuo Xi was walking hard, Lan Yang stretched out a hand to her and said with concern: "Come, hold my hand!" ”

Men and women don't kiss! Zhuo Xi's mind suddenly popped up with this sentence, and unnaturally waved his hand and shook his head and said, "No, no, I can ......"

The little girl is shy! Lan Yang smiled secretly in his heart. walked to Zhuo Xi's side, grabbed her hand through her sleeve and continued to walk up.

Although through the sleeves, Zhuo Xi could still clearly feel the warmth coming from Lan Yang's hands. She tried to break free from Lan Yang's hands, but was clung to by Lan Yang. She could clearly feel that the more she tried to break free, the stronger Lan Yang's hand became. In the end, she reluctantly gave up the struggle, lowered her head and followed Lan Yang up.

Finally arrived at the pavilion, although it was only a few dozen steps away, Zhuo Xi felt that it was unusually long. His heart was both nervous and messy, shy and embarrassed, Zhuo Xi could feel that his face was hotter than any fever! Fortunately, Lan Yang let go of her hand in time, and she hurriedly turned to the side with her back to Lan Yang.

Standing halfway up the mountain, you can still see the red sun slowly falling in the west, and the clouds in the sky. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, as if gilding them with a layer of glittering gold.

Looking up, I saw a magnificent building on the west side of the pavilion, and the sound of music seemed to come from there.

"That's Mrs. Fengqi's Rainbow Spring Courtyard, where music is constantly playing every day." At some point, Lan Yang stood behind Zhuo Xi and followed her gaze to explain.

"Oh" Zhuo Xi responded, she wanted to walk away but didn't dare to turn around, because she obviously felt Lan Yang's breath, he was very close to her behind her.

Lan Yang raised his hand and pointed to the rows of houses below and told her, "The farthest courtyard is the gathering hall of the Condensation Hall, where the flag lord Ke Weilong handles things on a daily basis. Behind him to the east is Rong Fang Hall, and there... There..."

From here, you can see the entire Condensation Hall, and you can't imagine that it is such a huge building complex. When Zhuo Xi first came, he felt that the architecture here was strange and elegant, and now when he looks from above, he can see that the roof ridges are arched and the eaves are also exquisite. There are different landscapes separating each courtyard, whether it is a bamboo forest, or a bridge steps, or a strange stone, or a lake, and the paths connecting the various places are like interlaced silk threads, and people walking on them can only see black spots like ants at this time.

"It's really like a picture scroll, ingenious!" Zhuo Xi had forgotten the embarrassment and was completely attracted by the scenery in front of him. She stood facing the setting sun, her eyes lingering between the mountains in the distance and the buildings nearby, and a smile from her heart hung faintly on her lips. From behind, Sunset passes by her, and she's almost one with the clouds in the sky.

Lan Yang looked at her delicate back, his breathing slowly became rapid, and his hand clenched into a fist for a while, and then let go. He almost put his hand on Zhuo Xi's shoulder several times, but he was afraid that if he disturbed her, she would disappear like a cloud in the sky. He tried to restrain himself, and could only stare greedily and stupidly at her back with his own eyes.

At this time, Zhuo Xi had completely integrated her mood into the beautiful scenery in front of her, the sunset, the red glow, the lake, and the distant mountains, all of which made her excited, she turned around excitedly, and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful, thank you, brother... Before she finished speaking, she found that Lan Yang was staring at her with a very unusual gaze, and there seemed to be attachment and obsession in it...

Lan Yang's gaze caught Zhuo Xi off guard, and after Zhuo Xi was stunned, his face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his head and walked to the side.

It's broken, it's scared Xi'er! Lan Yang hurriedly turned around to chase after him, but found that Zhuo Xi did not run, but just stood on the other side of the pavilion and pressed his body tightly against the pillar.

Lan Yang was a little annoyed that he shouldn't be so presumptuous, he slowly walked to Zhuo Xi's side, pulled a little distance and said to her, "Sister, have you seen the largest lake below?" ”

Zhuo Xi nodded against the pillar.

"It is a tidal lake, and every full moon night, whether there is wind or not, there will be a phenomenon of surging water in the lake, and sometimes there will even be swimming fish jumping out of the water, like a tide, which is very rare." Lan Yang pointed to the nearest pool of lake water and said.

Zhuo Xi knew that Fushan Courtyard was facing the ** of Xishui Garden, so the largest lake below was Xishui Lake. At this moment, half of the lake has been submerged in darkness, while the other half is sparkling and rippling in the wind.

At this time, Lan Yang sighed softly and said, "Every year, starting from the thaw of the lake in spring, almost all the Fuliu meetings are held there. ”

"Furyagikai?" Zhuo Xi turned her head curiously and asked, but she quickly turned her head after glancing at Lan Yang.

"The Fuliu Club is also called the Folding Branch Club, taken from: Jun goes to Xi, who will help the weak willow? Yi Renxi, bare hands and broken branches. In fact, it is the merchant halls and clubs of various countries that come here to pick people. Those who are taught to be good will take turns to perform on stage, and if there are girls who are favored, they will pay the price behind the name post, and then they can take people away. When he said this, Lan Yang's face was solemn.

"What?" Zhuo Xi turned around and looked at Lan Yang in surprise, "Then Ran Yu and they... Have you not been harmed by me? Zhuo Xi suddenly sat down on the stone bench.

At the beginning, I just wanted to teach them, inspire them, and think that they would not be bullied, but I never thought about what they would be like in the future! If they do dance well, won't they be taken away? So, did you help them or hurt them?

Seeing Zhuo Xi stunned with a sad face, Lan Yang walked over and sat on the stone bench next to her, comforting her, "You're talking about the women you taught, right?" They won't, because they're new to the city, and no matter how good they are, they have to stay for a year or two. But if you teach them well, they will be taken seriously, and they will not be bullied like they are now, and their value will increase in the future, which will help them find a better clubhouse. However, they may also participate in the Fuliu Festival in this spring, in order to show the style of the successors to the merchant houses of various countries, and if there is a fancie, it may also be contracted. ”

The contract is to agree to reserve the girl you like, and when the time is right, you will pay to bring someone.

"So what, isn't it the same as being bought and sold as an object?" Two lines of tears burst out of their eyes, Ran Yu, Rui'er... In the future, it is likely to be Pan'er and Ping'er, as well as so many women! Zhuo Xi hated herself for being too weak, so she could only watch this kind of transaction continue, and she couldn't do anything!

Seeing Zhuo Xi grieve like this, Lan Yang felt a burst of pity in his heart, he raised his hand to wipe away Zhuo Xi's tears, then put one hand on her shoulder, and said softly and firmly: "Xi'er, don't be sad, after all, our ability is limited, we will do our best to do everything well, help everyone who can help, live up to others, and live in vain!" ”

Zhuo Xi felt Lan Yang's warmth coming from her shoulder, she moved her shoulder unnaturally, and Lan Yang put her hand down with interest.

"Thank you, brother, for your teachings!" Zhuo Xi said as he looked at the ground with his eyes.

Lan Yang's gaze deepened, as if he had fallen into a memory, "Xi'er, I have also encountered some things, I can only watch it happen but I can't do anything about it, that helplessness, that heartache... So, I can understand your mood right now. ”

Zhuo Xi glanced up at Lan Yang and found that there was a trace of sadness on his face, and he wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say.

"Brother... The past is like smoke, let's look back more..."

Lan Yang looked at Zhuo Xi fixedly, raised his hand to brush her hair, and said in a soft tone: "Xi'er, why don't you think about yourself?" ”

"I... I don't have anything to think about, as my brother just said, just do everything well. She dodged lightly when Lan Yang raised her hand, but she soon calmed down.

"Xi'er, I may not stay here for long, then... Will you leave with me? Lan Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally said it.

"Leave... I..."Zhuo Xi was a little overwhelmed, leaving, not that he didn't think about it, but now there are a lot of worries here, Liu Yuzhen, Ping'er, Pan'er... And Mr. Hongan, these people who have given her warmth and help, how can she give it up? However, at the thought of Lan Yang leaving, Zhuo Xi's heart instantly swelled with a wave of sourness and loss...

Zhuo Xi looked at Lan Yang with some trepidation, not knowing how to answer him for a while. And Lan Yang's eyes looking at her became more and more intense, the hotter and hotter, and finally Lan Yang approached Zhuo Xi, a warm snort sprayed on Zhuo Xi's face, he leaned close to her ear and said, "It's okay, I can wait for you, wait for you to think about it..."

Zhuo Xi couldn't help but lean back, unstable, and was about to fall to the ground, Lan Yang's eyes were quick, and as soon as he reached out, he hugged Zhuo Xi's waist, pulled back, and took Zhuo Xi in his arms.

This is the second time you have fallen into Lanyang's arms, right? The last time was the day after the cleansing ceremony, Lan Yang went to pick her up in the provincial room, and that time she was in a coma due to excessive weakness, and she didn't know anything after falling into his arms. And this time, Lan Yang's warm body, the sound of rapid breathing, the sound of a fast and powerful heartbeat, and his slightly trembling arms, Zhuo Xi completely felt it clearly!

Zhuo Xi hurriedly broke free from Lan Yang's arms, covered his face with his hands and ran out of the pavilion, and after a few steps, a familiar flute suddenly sounded behind him.

The flute sound was melodious and longing, tactful and sad, Zhuo Xi was stunned in place, isn't this the tune of the Yishui minor tune she did? Lan Yang is the one she looked for all night that night? Zhuo Xi turned around in disbelief and looked up at Lan Yang blankly.

A white jade bone flute was held horizontally by Lan Yang, and with the rise and fall of his fingers, the tune was born. Lan Yang finished playing a whole Yishui minor tune, and said loudly to Zhuo Xi: "Xi'er, that night, I used this bone flute to accompany you outside all night, and from then on, you were in my heart..."

From that day on...... Could it be that it was his idea for me to enter the Fushan Temple? Zhuo Xi was stunned for a moment, and then ran down the mountain in the dark.

And behind her, the flute of the Yishui minor tune has been lingering and circling......"
