Mo Ziwu was waiting for me outside, and his mood was obviously very low. I knew that he was worried about my condition, and I wanted to persuade him not to worry, but as soon as he returned to the bamboo house, he was anxious to pack his bags and go out. I stopped him, "Where are you going?" ”

Mo Ziwei avoided my inquiry and said, "I have something urgent to go out." ”

"Don't go." I said strongly, "Don't try to hide it, you want to find the medicinal herbs that Master Huiyuan said, right, do you know where the medicinal herbs are, just recklessly lose them?" ”

"I know that the Nine Dead Soul Restoration Grass grows mostly in the area of Zhongnan Mountain, and the pearls under the sea are produced on Hepuzhou Island in Lingnan, as long as you pay attention, you will definitely be able to find them." Mo Zi worries about the chaos, and he is no longer as calm as before.

I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Then do you know how dangerous it is to collect these two medicinal materials, you forgot what Master Huiyuan said, if something happens to you, what will I do!" ”

Mo Ziwei lowered his voice, "Don't worry, I'll be careful." ”

I was worried and scared, and my heart was like rain, "No matter how careful I am, I can't withstand the unforeseen circumstances." Yu Wenyong swore that he would give me the antidote. Why should we take this risk in vain? ”

Mo Ziwu's face was excited, "But I can't trust him." It's your life, do you want me to sit idly by, I can't do it. ”

I tried to convince him, "You have to believe that I'm still useful to him, and he's not going to let me die so soon." ”

The impulsive Mo Ziwei couldn't listen to it at all, his eyes were dyed with a desperate determination, and he was about to leave with his baggage.

"Don't go." I hugged him from behind and choked up, "I beg you, I have lost my mother, I have lost my master, I don't want to lose anyone again." ”

Mo Ziwu's body stagnated and stopped.

"I'm so scared, I'm really scared, I don't want to lose you, don't leave me alone. Don't go, okay? "I hugged him tightly, afraid that as soon as I let go, he would fly away like the wind and never be seen again.

Mo Ziwei finally turned around, looked at my eyes that were red and almost ready to cry, stroked my cheek with his slender hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't leave you alone, I'm not going." As long as you say no, I won't go. ”

"Really?" I was still uneasy, and said with a straight face: "Don't go now, don't go in the future, never again!" ”

Mo Ziwu couldn't help but smile, hugged me tightly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, good, listen to you." ”

"I promise you, I won't take any more chances. But I still can't give up, we can find medicinal herbs through other methods. I can also ask my friends in the rivers and lakes, maybe someone really has these two medicinal materials in their hands. Mo Ziwei still insisted and found another way.

"Whatever you do, don't risk your life or leave me behind." I declare domineeringly.

Mo Zi smiled helplessly, hugged me tightly, and passed the warmth on his body to me closely.

After a long time, I felt relieved, and then said, "Remember I told you, I have a younger sister." ”

"Yes."

"She went out of the palace to get married, and she told me that she wanted to see you, do you agree?" I asked him.

Mo Ziwei agreed without hesitation, "Your sister, of course I want to see you." As long as it's someone you care about, I'm going to try to understand it. ”

"How about I bring her over tomorrow?"

"You can do it whenever you want."

I smiled, most of the unhappiness disappeared, looking at the blue sky overhead, like a transparent lake, the clear sky is clear, shining people's hearts warm.

The sky is blue and shallow.

A carriage stopped at the gate of Mingyue Tower on Huayang Street, and two thin shadows slowly came out of the car. Ling'er is dressed up brightly today, her hair is combed with a cloud bun, and the top is decorated with a pink and transparent peony bead hairpin, and a silver flower is inserted on the left side of the bun, decorated with red agate beads, and there are amber bead tassels falling in the hair, reflecting the whole person like a green moon, and the snow skin is even worse.

Ling'er and I walked into the restaurant hand in hand, and our eyes shifted to Ling'er's gown and dress, she was wearing a jade vortex-colored cardigan, with a few delicate cherry blossoms outlined with silk threads on her chest, and a yellow and white skirt, with a gib tied at the waist, and a long streamer flowing out of the bib, like a noblewoman's dress, radiant and glamorous, so that I couldn't take my eyes off for a while.

I was not as casual as usual, I dressed up a little before I came out, a green silk half tied to the hanging hair in a small bun, a blue and white beaded hairpin obliquely inserted between the bun, thin long hair hanging down on the shoulders, wearing an orange embroidered dress, embroidered between the collar and sleeves with three or two sparse red plums, the hem is a fine pear blossom moire, quite beautiful, the complexion is bright.

As soon as Fang entered the building, there were many amazing eyes of men and women who looked at him frequently, and I smiled and went up to the private room on the second floor with Ling'er. Pushing open the red-lacquered door, I saw Mo Ziwei in a green shirt inside, I led Ling'er in and said, "This is my sister, Ling'er." ”

Fu said to Ling'er again: "Ling'er, this is Mo Zi's worry. ”

Ling'er smiled back, but Mo Zi was stunned, her clear eyes were fixed on Ling'er's bright and fresh face, and she didn't move for a long time.

I felt strange, and a little unpleasant, and reminded: "Zi worry." ”

Mo Ziwu came back to his senses and smiled, "Your sister looks very much like an old friend of mine, and she looks so familiar. ”

Ling Er smiled indifferently: "There are so many similar people in the world, Mo Shaoxia won't see every woman say so." ”

Mo Zi said worriedly: "Young man? How do you know I'm a young man? ”

Ling Er had no stage fright, covered her mouth and smiled, "I see that the son is upright, chic, and quite chivalrous. ”

"Good eyesight." Mo Ziwu said thoughtfully: "Maybe I saw the wrong person." ”

After the three of them sat down together, Ling Er asked with a smile: "Mo Shaoxia walks the rivers and lakes, wandering, and comes and goes in a chic manner. It's just that are you sure that if the people around you wander with you and have no fixed place to live, can she still be as chic as you? ”

Mo Ziwei looked at Ling'er's bright eyes, and slowly condensed a faint smile, "I used to wander because I haven't met anyone who can settle me down. ”

"Now that I've met her, I want to have a home with her." Mo Ziwu's smiling eyes turned to me, and there seemed to be a thousand words in his eyes, which made my face hot.

The smile on Ling Er's face was as still as water, and then she said: "It's good to start a family, but people in the rivers and lakes often go out to pick up some business, and it is inevitable that they will have no time to be separated and unable to accompany the people around them." It's not good to be alone, and it's better to have a cold home than not. ”

"That's why I'm going to go out and earn more money to support my family while I'm young, so that I can spend more time with my beloved in the future." Mo Ziwu held my hand, his eyes were firm, as if he was announcing something.

Seeing this, Ling'er smiled slowly and didn't ask anything more.

"Miss Ling'er, no, listen to your sister, you are already married. Shall I call you Mrs. or Sister like Frog? Mo Zi looked at Ling'er worriedly, his eyes like snow.

Ling'er said: "Just call me Ling'er." ”

"Well, Ling'er, you and your sister haven't seen each other for many years, where have you been all these years, have you been to Qidi?" Mo Zi asked with a faint smile.

Ling Er's eyes moved, and she said, "I have never been to Qidi. It's Mo Shaoxia, walking everywhere, I'm afraid I don't know only my sister, there must be many beautiful people. ”

Ling'er's question also aroused my curiosity, and I also wanted to know how Mo Ziwei would answer.

I saw Mo Ziwei smile slightly, "I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I do know many people, both men and women. I don't know if it's good or not, I only know that no matter how many women I know, there is only one in my heart. ”

Mo Zi looked at me with a smile, his eyes were like moonlight, I was shy and avoidant, busy with a cup of tea, and pretended to drink a cup of tea as if nothing happened.

——

After some meeting, I sent Ling'er out of Mingyue Tower. When Ling'er got out of Mingyue Tower, she pulled me aside and said that she had a few whispers to say to me. Mo Zi was worried and understood, saying that something had fallen upstairs and he wanted to go back to get it.

The carriage stopped on the blue brick road on Huayang Street, Mo Ziwu was not there, I looked at Ling'er standing next to the car, and said, "Ling'er, don't you like Mo Ziwei?" ”

I always feel that the atmosphere of their conversation today is strange, as if there is some holiday.

Ling'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Why, as long as my sister likes it, I will like it." ”

"Sister, what do you like about him?"

I thought for a while, and said, "I can't say either, maybe it's because he has the chic and freedom that I don't have, maybe it's because of his pure heart, maybe it's because he always makes me feel warm and happy." It is difficult to explain the word love. ”

Ling'er looked at me for a moment, her eyebrows slightly tangled, "Sister, do you really like him?" Perhaps, in fact, my sister can't even see her own heart clearly. ”

"What do you mean by that?" I was puzzled.

Ling Er hesitated: "Perhaps, my sister is too lonely, because of her extreme desire for warmth and the illusion that she likes someone, in fact, you don't like him at all." ”

"Ling'er, do you think I will be the kind of person who likes a man because he is lonely and longs for warmth? If this was the case, I would have ...... long ago, "I would have surrendered to Chen Qian's warmth and sweetness."

I stopped my unspoken words, not wanting to remind myself of those unpleasant pasts, so I changed the subject and said, "How can Ling'er be sure that I don't really like Mo Ziwei." Isn't it, who have you liked before, or, who are you liking now? ”

"Nothing." Ling Er hurriedly defended, thought about it and thought, and said: "Aren't all novels written like this, the heroine likes a man who is as clear as the wind at the beginning, and in the end she will fall in love with the powerful and domineering emperor." ”

I laughed and said, "How can fiction be mixed up with reality?" It's like if you see a person with a bad brain, you can't think that your sister's brain is not good either, and speculation must be grounded. ”

Ling Er bit her lip and said, "I just think that a person like my sister should find someone who can give you strong protection, not an erratic swordsman like Mo Ziwei." ”

I said seriously: "Ling'er, I can protect myself by myself, and I don't need to rely on men for protection." Zi Wei and I, we can support each other and protect each other. ”

Ling'er was a little deflated and said, "I just hope my sister can live a little better." ”

I took her hand and said softly, "I know, but for me, Mo Ziwei is the best." No matter how strong others are, that's not what I like. ”

A touch of disappointment flashed between Ling'er's eyebrows, her expression was gloomy, she said goodbye to me, lifted the light blue curtains embroidered with plum moire, and got in the car to go home. I just didn't think about it for a while, so I didn't pay attention to it.

"Looks like your sister doesn't like me very much." After Ling'er left, Mo Ziwei came out in time.

I turned to look at him and asked, "Don't you like her very much?" ”

Mo Ziwu's face suddenly became a little serious, "Your sister is a person, bright on the outside and depressed on the inside, innocent on the surface, but in fact, she has a city government in her chest, and she thinks a lot about her words and smiles." You'll never guess when she's real and when she's fake. ”
