The dim light makes it impossible to know how much time has passed, until the pedestrians on the street gradually disperse, and people know that the night is late. It may be that the candle oil is about to burn out, and the lights on both sides of the street are becoming a little dim.

There are still some pedestrians on the road, but not as many as before, and it is less crowded, but it is better to see the street lights clearly. The stalls on the side of the road are about to be collected, and the stall owner has packed up the belongings on the stalls, and now he will return home, and maybe he will be able to have some hot food to eat.

The sacrifices on the road are not over yet, and they will sacrifice all night without stopping to pray for peace in the coming year.

In the chaotic years, people can't do anything else, and all they can do may be to pin their hopes on these.

However, it is better to have hope than to blindly endure the calamity.

Gu Nan walked down the street with Lingqi on his back, this kid should be very tired tonight. I didn't make a sound when I lay on her shoulder, and I didn't know if I was asleep.

Behind Gu Nan's back, Lingqi wrapped her neck around her and buried her side face on her shoulder.

I can smell a faint fragrance between my nose, like the fragrance of some flower, but it is not so strong. If there is none, people can't smell enough. It's not like her father's back, there is always a smell of sweat.

But one thing is the same, both of them have a lot of peace on their shoulders.

The street was already much quieter, and the occasional footsteps of people walking by, and the sound of gongs and drums in the distance could be faintly heard in the distance.

There would be a few people standing on the side of the road, chatting with each other about something, whether it was the harvest of the coming year, or where there would be a war for the coming year.

In these years, it was always like the battle would never end.

The two of them walked back from the street, and passed by an old tree by the side of the road, which I don't know how long it had been growing in this place, and its branches grew much higher than the ordinary eaves. On the branches were newly drawn leaves, and there were many lanterns.

An old tree that grows so big is usually regarded as a mascot by people. Lanterns hang on the branches of the trees, pressing them down lightly, and the lights illuminate the entire old tree.

Gu Nan stopped, stood in front of the tree and raised her head, and the light from the tree also illuminated her face.

She still remembers that in the old days, there was also one such tree in her small courtyard, and under that tree she practiced swords, walked horses, listened to people play the harp, and listened to people talk about the short gossip of the parents.

"Qi'er, look at that tree, is it beautiful?" Gu Nan asked with a smile at the person on his shoulder.

Lingqi raised her head, looked at the tree, and then looked at Gu Nan, who was smiling and looking at the tree in a trance.

Under the lamp, she looked at Gu Nan in a trance.

"Master."

"Huh?"

Gu Nan turned her head, Lingqi smiled, her mouth sticked out, and kissed her face.

Feeling something on his face, a soft feeling, Gu Nan was stunned in place.

Lingqi let go of her mouth, when her father was carrying her, he would always have to kiss him himself, her father's face was always prickly, and the master's face was different.

"Qi, Qi'er, what are you doing?" Gu Nan turned his head and asked a little helplessly, perhaps because he was illuminated by the lamp, and his face was a little pink.

Rarely, there was some panic in her look, and she was a little unaccustomed to such a move, probably because she was used to keeping a distance from people.

Lingqi didn't answer, but retracted Gu Nan's shoulder and said softly, "Master, let's go back." ”

Gu Nan came back to his senses after a while.

smiled bitterly, and secretly sighed that he was actually confused just now.

Shaking his head, he walked towards the loop.

"Okay, let's go back."

The lights held up the shadows of the two for a long time.

"Master."

The person behind him whispered, listening to the voice, he was already a little asleep.

"What's wrong?" Gu Nan didn't look back this time, probably because he was afraid just now.

"It looked good just now."

I don't know if she's talking about trees or people.

"Yes." Gu Nan only thought of it as a tree: "I used to have an old tree like that in my house. ”

"Where is the master's home?" Lingqi asked, she had never heard her master mention her home.

Where is it, Gu Nan's voice paused and said in a trance.

"I don't know where it is now."

I can't understand what Gu Nan means, the master will always say something she can't understand, it should be that her knowledge is not enough.

On the way, there were lights passing one after another, hanging under the eaves of the house, as if to point the way for those walking in the night.

The back was very stable, and the girl lying on Gu Nan's shoulder gradually fell asleep.

There was a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth in his sleep.

Gu Nan walked by, leaving no footsteps on the streets, and the lights in the city were thousands of lights, connecting the streets and alleys, illuminating the eaves.

She suddenly thought that if she lit the lamp in front of Wu'an Mansion, it would not be so cold.

Unfortunately, she had forgotten how to go back.

Of these thousands of lights, none of them are hers.

······

At night, Cao Cao's house has not turned off the lights, but there is no sound, when passing by the side hall, I saw Cao Hong's three or five big men holding the empty wine jar, lying there and sleeping.

The light in Cao Ang's room is still on, it should be that the results of the calibration are not good, and it seems that he will not be able to sleep tonight.

Gu Nan walked through the corridor and back to his small courtyard.

"It's here." Gu Nan said gently, but there was no movement on her back, and when she turned her head, she saw that the girl had fallen asleep on her shoulder.

With a chuckle on his face, he thought he was having a good dream, but he didn't know what he dreamed about.

"Huh." Without waking up the girl, Gu Nan pushed open her door, carried her back into the room, and gently covered the quilt.

Only then did I find that there was a sword on the girl's bed, which was the appearance of an ordinary iron sword.

It should have been the one I gave her at the time.

"How can anyone put a sword on a bed?" Laughing and shaking her head, she didn't think about what she was like anymore.

He took off his sword and leaned against the bed, closed the door lightly and walked out.

There are no lights in the city in the courtyard, which makes people see that the moonlight above the original head is also bright, and the moon is full in the first month, and the moonlight shines in the courtyard like a pool of water is quiet.

gave birth to a lazy waist, Gu Nan pushed open his door, threw Wuge on the bed casually, untied his clothes and lay in.

She also wants to have a good night's sleep today, and maybe she can see the lamp waiting for her to return in her dreams.

······

The morning air was a little cold, probably because there were too many lights last night, and there was some smell of candle smoke.

The lanterns, which had been extinguished, hung under the eaves of the house, were gently swayed by the early morning wind.

"Master." Lingqi pushed open the door with a basin of water and walked into Gu Nan's room.

Gu Nan hadn't woken up yet, she put down the basin and walked to the bedside.

On the bed, Gu Nan lay on his side, but he didn't know why the pillow was wet.
