"You know that boy just now?"

On the way back in the carriage, Liuyun couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm...... It was kind of a playmate when I was very young. The light in Chu Nanhe's eyes was slightly dim, obviously remembering the time he had spent in Linlan Pavilion before.

The two got out of the carriage and walked side by side on the forest path that was gradually full of spring.

On the trees in the forest in early spring, the green young leaves trembled with the spring breeze that blew from time to time, and a few young leaves vaguely floated down, accompanied by the chirping of birds. In the clear spring water that tinkles in the distance, a few small fish that bounce into the air pop up from time to time, and it is not lively in the forest in this early spring.

Chu Nanhe, who was silent all the way on the side, looked straight at everything moving in the distance with his godless eyes.

All of them were alive and vibrant, and everything was like a pair of sharp swords, stinging his eyes.

"They're so good. ”

Chu Nanhe's somewhat dry voice broke the somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

Liuyun glanced sideways at Chu Nanhe, who was full of loneliness.

"Life still has to go on...... Xiao He...... Everything will slowly get better......"

Liuyun fell silent after speaking.

Because he also knows that a child who has lost all his relatives since childhood has finally rekindled his desire for life and then loses everything that is not easy to come by, for Chu Nanhe, all the comfort is pale and powerless.

Chu Nanhe didn't seem to hear Liuyun's somewhat dry comfort, and looked at those vivid and vibrant lives to himself, and his thin lips opened lightly.

A dream-like murmur like a sigh slowly melted into the warm wind. This soft spring breeze becomes like a bit of autumn gloom.

"I want to be the bird in the tree and the fish in the water. ”

"Even the leaves that fall in the wind ......"

The boy's dry, mournful voice slowly slipped into a trace of loneliness.

It's better to be the wind and the clouds......

Become everything in this world.

It's just that I really, don't want to continue to be myself.

Liuyun looked at Chu Nanhe and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.

"You have to be yourself. With Master's expectations for you, live well. ”

He was a man of few words, and he didn't comfort him too much. He just patted the man next to him on the shoulder.

It's all in plain sight.

The two returned to Qin Lei's residence, and the moment Liuyun opened the door, he almost bumped into Ling Jundong's enlarged paralyzed face.

“......”

Looking at Ling Jundong, who had almost kissed him just now, Liuyun opened his mouth with a complicated expression.

"Why are you so close to the door? ”

It's really dangerous, okay? Accidentally kissed a man or something.

"I just wanted to go out to look for you, and you came back. ”

Ling Jundong was still unfazed. Explained with a particularly calm voice.

"Why are you looking for us?" Chu Nanhe on the side asked the point.

"Oh, my master is inside, looking for you. ”

As he spoke, he gestured to the room in the courtyard behind him.

"Mr. Qin, are you looking for us?"

The two came to the reception room of the Qin Mansion.

"Oh, what, I just remembered that Duan Hui was delayed for a while because of something. ”

“...... We already knew that. ”

Qin Lei nodded slightly, and then instructed the two of them to tidy up their things.

"I need to go out for a trip lately......"

Qin Lei paused and glanced at Chu Nanhe.

"It's a little uncomfortable to leave you here, so you might as well come with me. ”

......

In the secluded courtyard, a boy who looked to be eight or nine years old stood quietly under the bright moonlight.

He held a piece of white paper in his hand, and the faintly visible font on the paper looked a little blurry in the dim moonlight.

The boy glanced at the words again, and his eyes shone with some excitement and some yearning.

Gently touch the two skewed and skewed fonts under your fingertips.

Carefully put the paper away, and strode deeper into the courtyard.

The cold moonlight slowly shone on the large mirror that the boy had just walked by. The mirror reflects every grass and tree in this small courtyard, and late at night, the big mirror shows a trace of weirdness at this time.

"Huh?"

The boy hurriedly walked by footsteps for a moment.

Out of the corner of his eye, he casually glanced at the mirror he was very familiar with. At a moment, it seemed that a flash of light suddenly flashed in the courtyard, piercing the boy's eyes, and the sudden strangeness made him murmur.

I saw the boy slowly retreat, looking at the whole courtyard reflected in the big mirror. There were flowers and grass, tall trees and his own all the more familiar face.

What is that!

The boy's pupils, which were originally dilated in the dark, became the size of a needle the moment he saw the white-haired young child behind him!

Quickly turned around, only to see that the lawn was still behind him, and a few small flowers were vaguely blooming on the lawn.

There is a touch of weirdness in the silence.

Turning his head, the boy wiped his eyes vigorously. Looking through the mirror, the white-haired toddler behind him was smiling at him with the corners of his mouth bent!

The boy felt a deep chill pouring over his head, and goosebumps spread from the top of his head to his toes in an instant.

Before he could shout out to the rest of the people in the courtyard, he saw a purple light in the mirror shoot out from the eyes of the young boy behind him!

For a moment, the boy only felt that his body was no longer under his control at that moment. His throat was dry, and he wanted to shout loudly but could only say "wow" a few times like a mute, and his soul seemed to be drained by the strange purple light refracted in the mirror in the next moment, and the boy finally stopped struggling and fell heavily in front of the mirror.

About a quarter of an hour passed.

I saw the boy slowly get up from the ground.

As he got up, the piece of paper that had been carefully put away in his arms slipped to the ground.

Out of the corner of the boy's eye, he glanced at the two small words on the paper.

"Dou Miao"

With an eerie chuckle, a faint purple light flashed in the boy's eyes.

With a crisp sound, a faint wisp of purple smoke slowly drifted away with the fingertips.

"It's hard to find...... Fortunately, it was marked in advance. ”

In the middle of the night, the breeze was gently blowing, and the pale light of the full moon shone in this secluded courtyard.

The night has just begun.

......

"Master......"

In the originally silent carriage, Ling Jundong let out a soft shout, breaking the somewhat oppressive silence.

I saw that the boy next to him was wearing a blue robe, and the carriage, which was originally a little dimly lit, gently lifted the curtain of the carriage with the boy's big hand, and a strong light shone on the boy's body.

The boy's childish face can already be seen now, and a trace of steel heroism is faintly visible between the facial features.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Lei looked sideways when he heard the sound.
