When the three of them woke up, the sun had already come out of the east and was shining obliquely on their faces. Duckweed yawned, and at first glance, he saw the white-clothed boy on the side, and first said in surprise: "Oops, you're back." ”

"yes, I'm back. Baizhu replaced the jade flute in his hand with duckweed, and said, "It's already snowing in the north, and it's snowing so much, and it's overwhelming." I went to an excellent place and found some ancient jade to make this jade flute. I tried playing it for you last night, and the tone is excellent, and I give you the best. ”

Duckweed listened to his words, but the smile on his face stopped. She seemed to take it very hesitantly, under the gaze of Xiaowa and Xuanniao, and then slowed down, but said with a smile: "Baizhu's intentions are excellent, but I can't play the jade flute." ”

"I'll teach you. I still have a long time to go, and I can teach you. Baizhu said without hesitation.

Xiaowa and Xuanniao looked at each other, Xiaowa coughed a few times, and said to Xuanniao: "Xuanniao, why don't you take me to the other side of the cloud to have a look." ”

"No, let's go back to the inn first. The duckweed put away the jade flute and put away his laughter. Embarrassed, he said to Baizhu, "I suddenly thought that several fortune tellers yesterday said that they were coming to me early this morning, but they couldn't be in a hurry." ”

Baizhu didn't speak, and his eyes didn't know which side of the cloud he was looking at. Xuanniao and Xiaowa both felt a little strange, but the duckweed said indifferently: "Let's go, Xuanniao, I'm tired." Just ask you to turn into Feipeng and take me and the baby back. ”

The Xuanniao was very satisfied when he heard this, and immediately turned into a huge white Xuanniao, and asked Xiaowa and duckweed to put it on his back.

Duckweed looked at Baizhu, who still didn't speak, and didn't know why, she asked lightly, "Are you still here? Who asked you to come? When will you go back?"

"Don't worry, I haven't seen the sunrise in Bianjing for a long time. I wanted to share it with you today, but it's normal for you to be unwilling. Now, I'm alone. Baizhu looked at the duckweed with a smile in his eyes, like the warm sun rising in the east.

But different things, this time the duckweed left without looking back, and even seemed to be preoccupied.

Bianjing, autumn, in the Yuelai Inn, the morning glow shines in through the carved wooden window.

The morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles. It looks like it's going to rain soon.

Xiaowa obviously didn't know this, so she took duckweed's hand and asked, "Sister, sister, we obviously didn't make an appointment with the guests, why did you say this to General Bai? Weren't you and General Bai friends before? You used to talk very happily, and even in front of me and Xuanniao, you became confidants. Why is it so unfamiliar when they meet now, and General Bai also brought a gift to his sister. ”

Saying that, the little baby was about to touch the jade flute, but was scolded by duckweed: "Don't touch this jade flute." Duckweed put away the jade flute in his hand and frowned: "I don't know, I just think he is very strange in my heart." So I had to run away. ”

"It's obviously strange that you, master. The baby muttered quietly.

The three of them chatted for a while, and soon, Shopkeeper Zhou came to ask duckweed to go downstairs to tell fortunes.

There were few guests today, and even Xiaowa was very surprised: "Sister, why is today's business so bad? ”

Duckweed took a sip of tea and sneered: "Because, today we brought back something that we shouldn't have brought." ”

Xiaowa wondered, "What is it?"

"Jade flute. ”

"You mean, there is a problem with the jade flute given by General Bai?" Xiaowa exclaimed, almost knocking over the tea cup on the table.

"It's not just the jade flute that has a problem, but even today's Baizhu has a problem. Or perhaps, there are others, too, who have problems. Duckweed said lightly, not seeming to take it to heart.

Xiaowa was worried about what the duckweed said, "There is a problem with the jade flute, and there is also a problem with the atractylodes", and she didn't even eat much lunch. Xuanniao asked with concern, "Xiaowa, what's wrong with you?"

Xiaowa lay on the table, looking at the duckweed as usual, she was even more worried, and asked Xuanniao: "Xuanniao, do you think that General Bai is wrong today?"

Xuanniao frowned, but said with a smile: "There's nothing wrong with it, Xiaowa thinks too much." ”

"But my sister said today that there is a problem with the jade flute, and there is also a problem with General Bai, what is going on?" Xiaowa was very worried, looking at the food on the table that had not eaten a few bites, very melancholy.

Xuanniao turned his head to look at the duckweed, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, little baby, it's just some trivial things." ”

For several days in a row, duckweed did not go downstairs to tell fortunes, so although there were many people in Yuelai Inn these days, there were few people who came to tell fortunes. Xiaowa gave the money to Shopkeeper Zhou according to the money she should have given, and Shopkeeper Zhou also accepted it with a smile and didn't say anything more.

Duckweed has been either stroking the jade flute on the bed for the past few days, or sitting by the window and looking out of the window, looking very trance-like, and sometimes, she didn't even hear Xiaowa and Xuanniao call her.

Xiaowa became more and more worried, but Xuanniao was just on the sidelines, buying some food with Xiaowa as usual, making some painless jokes, and didn't mention anything. Xiaowa hurriedly said: "Xuanniao, what's wrong with my sister." And these days, what's going on? ”

Xuanniao looked at the duckweed who was sitting by the window and didn't know where to look, and said with a wry smile: "The master seems to be worried about someone." ”

"Huh, who are you worried about?" Xiaowa asked puzzledly, "General Bai? But isn't General Bai already back?"

Xuan Niao saw that the little baby was in suspense every day in the past few days, so he had to explain: "What came back is not all of Baizhu, but only a part of his spiritual sense. To be precise, that part of the consciousness should not be seen by us, but we did. Moreover, that part of the Dibaizhu also brought back the jade flute. ”

"Part of the Baizhu?" Xiaowa was a little puzzled, and said, "Part of the Baizhu is to say, is it true that Baizhu is the same as Liu Jiuli, and is he dead?

"That's where the weirdness goes. I've tested it with psychics, and Baizhu should still be alive. But he seems to be being manipulated. What's more, there is a heavy murderous aura and resentment on this jade flute, and it seems that someone has driven a part of Baizhu's spiritual consciousness to give this jade flute to its master. Xuanniao paused and said a little sadly, "Moreover, there is still the smell of red pine nuts on the body of this jade flute." So the host is sad. ”

"Red pine nuts, is it the red pine nuts that my sister said can walk against the wind and go up and down with the wind and rain?"

Xuanniao nodded silently, and the little baby also fell into deep thought.

Duckweed suddenly turned around, went to the bedside and picked up the jade flute, put it to his lips and blew it. Sure enough, the sound of the jade flute was very crisp and pleasant, but there was no trace of a smile on the duckweed's face, and she said coldly to Xuanniao: "Xuanniao, little baby, let's go find him." ”

"Good. Xuanniao replied together with Xiaowa.
