Chapter 39: Chasing the Sunset

From the south of the city to the east of the city, and then to the north of the city, bypass the north palace in the city, bypass your own mansion, and then go west.

Gradually, Xu Shichang's footsteps walked through the whole city, and he may have walked through this city a long time ago, but at that time it didn't seem to be as tired as it is now, and it was a little different, because he didn't walk alone at that time.

The city has not changed, but it is still this city, and it has become a human being.

After walking through the west of the city, he suddenly wanted to go to the Spirit Academy, as if he had made a great determination, closed his eyes slightly and then went straight to the south of the city, from the south of the city to the east, then to the north, then to the west, and then to the south of the city again, he walked a complete round trip.

He had already come to the Spirit Academy once yesterday, or he had come to the Spirit Academy many times before, although he was not a student of the Spirit Academy, nor had he studied in the Spirit Academy, but he had really come many times.

There is no change in the Spirit Academy, at least on the surface, but in Xu Shichang's eyes, this city has become a lifeless city, and the same is true of the Spirit Academy, even the sound of reading cannot be concealed.

He had never thought before that the world would be different without one person.

He looked at the sign carefully, no longer thinking about anything, and not looking at what was once hidden in the ground beneath his feet, whether it was clean or pickled. Without looking, as if those things no longer existed, I walked straight in.

"Uncle, His Royal Highness the eldest prince has come down. Yang Hejiu said.

Yang Hejiu still held the ring ruler in his hand, which showed that he had not yet answered this difficult question, and if he did not answer it, he could not leave the Spirit Academy, in fact, he rarely went out of the Spirit Academy.

"Coming for me?"

"It doesn't seem to be. ”

"That's coming for you?"

"It's like... Neither is it. ”

"Then what are you telling me all this for? ”

Yang Hejiu was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"Your Excellency, Your Highness the Eldest Prince asks to see you. A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar walked in outside.

"Come to me?" asked Mullanzhou Patience again.

"It's not. The middle-aged man replied simply.

"Fuck off, get out of here. When Mullan heard this, he finally couldn't help but scold, these two people are here to entertain themselves?

The middle-aged man was a little speechless, how could he still lose his temper, if he wasn't looking for you, he didn't need to be angry.

"Come to me?" Yang Hejiu asked tentatively.

"Hey, you two are still playing dumb riddles with me today, aren't you?" Mullanan immediately jumped up when he heard Yang Hejiu say this.

"I'm looking for you. The middle-aged man returned.

Yang Hejiu then breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that the other party would say that it didn't seem to be the case, so he didn't know how this dean should break out.

Yang Hejiu retired and walked out with the precepts.

"I've seen Mr. Nine. Xu Shichang saluted and said.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest prince doesn't need to be polite. ”

"Mr. Jiu, is this?" Xu Shichang couldn't help but ask as he looked at the ring ruler Yang Hejiu was holding in his hand.

"Uncle gave a question, is there something wrong with His Royal Highness the eldest prince looking for me?"

"I suddenly wanted to go out for a walk today, and when I passed by the Spirit Academy, I thought about returning the two things to Mr. Nine, and then apologize to you on his behalf. Xu Shichang saluted again, then took out two cloth bags from his cuffs and handed them to Yang Hejiu respectfully.

Yang Hejiu carried the ring behind him, like a sword on his back, just in the middle of his back, without a trace of deviation to the left or right, his sword was gone, but he had an extra ring ruler in his hand.

After doing this, Yang Hejiu took the two cloth bags and didn't ask what they were, since Xu Shichang was apologizing, then he naturally knew what Xu Shichang was apologizing, and Yang Hejiu certainly knew what was in these two cloth bags.

But what Xu Shichang didn't know was that Yang Hejiu was not angry about this matter, and his parents did not have too many moral constraints for a child like him who had been abandoned since childhood.

Yang Hejiu looked at the cloth bag and pinched it gently, smiled slightly, and then said, "His Royal Highness the eldest prince has a heart. ”

Xu Shichang bowed again and then retired.

"Xiao Jiu, have you received a gift?" Mu Lanzhou appeared next to Yang Hejiu again at some point, looking at Xu Shichang's departing figure and said.

"When did you start to like this kind of thing?" Mullanzhou then asked.

"It's not money. Yang Hejiu opened the cloth bag and said.

"Huh, what does this mean?" asked Mullan, looking at the contents of the cloth bag.

Then Yang Hejiu carefully explained the origin of these two things.

"Hahaha, hahaha, I didn't find this kid so interesting before. Mullanzhou only slapped his thigh after laughing.

In the past, he stood outside the world and looked at the world, so he naturally couldn't feel the pleasures of the world, the joy was the joy of others, the worries were the worries of others, and the joys and sorrows had nothing to do with him.

"But why do you stare at the back of His Royal Highness the Great Prince every time he leaves?" Yang Hejiu asked suspiciously.

"I felt that he was a little familiar, very much like a person, and I could remember the original person when I looked at his back. Mullanan put away his smile and stared ahead, and said lightly.

"Like whom?" Yang Hejiu asked even more suspiciously.

"Like me. Mullanzhou continued.

"Why?" Yang Hejiu thought carefully for a while, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any similarities between Xu Shichang and Mulanzhou, let alone why Mulanzhou wanted to say that the two of them were similar, so he asked again.

"If you don't understand, go and do your own thing. Mullanzhou waved his hand, obviously not wanting to mention it too much.

Mullanzhou didn't want to say it, so Yang Hejiu naturally wouldn't ask more.

Xu Shichang then walked the city alone, he passed by a lake, the water in the lake was clear and rippling, like people rippling on the shore, handsome men and beautiful women rowed boats in the lake, occasionally stretched out their oily palms to scratch a soft part of a certain soft part, and then there was a shy anger, followed by a long aftertaste, and the villain's triumphant laughter.

Xu Shichang is also reminiscing, but what he reminisces about is not these.

Approaching the lake, looking at the water in the lake and thinking about something.

The boat crossed by a circle of water lines, and the calm water began to sway slightly, and the water lines collided and stretched to the shore, and then collided and returned, and the reflection on the water surface also moved slightly, much like a back and forth.

When he comes, he will eventually return, like these ripples of water, coming and going silently, but always settling down.

The same is true of the knot in his heart, last year's incident was such a small boat, disturbing the surface calm of the lake, but back and forth will also be stable, and then calm, at least on the surface, whether there is still an undercurrent at the bottom of the boat He does not think, and does not dare to think.

He just wanted it to be like that dream, like the lake.

At this time, it was already getting dark, and he was going back, and today was a great harvest for him, and it was a good thing to have a harvest, thinking of this, he turned around and left.

The atmosphere on the lake will not change because of the departure of a person, it is still full of laughter, and the two small boats are walking side by side, looking very close, like a pair of brothers.

The oars were rowing very regularly, and the two boats were about to reach the other side at the same time, and a fresh breeze blew from nowhere, not very strong, and the two boats swayed gently, and this breeze did not affect the boat's progress.

But because the two boats were so close together, a small collision began, which was followed by the echo of another small boat, and the hull of the boat also swayed slightly and collided back.

The two boats did not have time to communicate, one accelerated forward, the other began to retreat, trying to avoid this continuous impact, the bow touched the stern, and the two boats rolled diagonally to the side at the same time.

There was a big splash on the surface of the lake, and the water ripples fluctuated violently, and it could not calm down.

After the incident, there was a discussion that with this level of wind, it would not be a big deal if the two boats did not choose to pay attention to it, but rowed forward side by side.

But the two boatmen were very aggrieved in their hearts, they didn't have time to communicate, and avoiding collision at this time was their first thought.

The small wind and waves made a big splash, which was ridiculous, and the spectators did not sympathize with it, and even had more topics to discuss.

Xu Shichang didn't see this joke, so he was not affected in the slightest, he was still walking in the position of the street shop.

A high cloud kept chasing the slowly setting sun, as if urging it to leave early, and when the sun left, a new moon came to fill the vacancy.

It's not that the clouds like the white and gentle moon more than the blazing and dedicated sun, but the sunset can't give people too much light and heat.

Looking up at the sun setting in the west, Xu Shichang slowly walked to the middle of the street, the sun had set very low, and pulled out a long shadow of himself, making Xu Shichang begin to become taller.

The sunset was still slightly hot on his face, even if it was about to fall, he was still doing his duty, Xu Shichang was a little moved, his eyes began to be slightly red, he stared at the sun carefully, his steps began to get faster, and he gradually ran up.

He ran faster and faster, as if he hoped that the sunset would set later, and the picture of a teenager chasing the sunset sounded very beautiful, but the real thing was embarrassing.

Xu Shichang gasped heavily, but he couldn't stop it to the slightest, he was very tired now, but he had more important things to do, running all the way to the North Palace.

Running and screaming loudly, many people thought that he should be a madman, and they wanted to hide far away, and they didn't bother to listen to what he shouted.

Most ordinary people have never seen His Royal Highness the eldest prince, so it is inevitable that they are a little bored to see this person crazy, and they naturally don't like to listen to crazy words, but some officials can certainly recognize who this is, and vaguely listen to the screams in his mouth 'slow down' and can't help but feel that something big is going to happen.
