After a joyous feast, everyone returned to their homes to reunite with their families and prepare to fall asleep. The moonlight of this night was very bright, and the bright moonlight shone on every house in the village, Xuantian stretched out his hand, swaying in the moonlight, looking at the looming black dragon tattoo on his arm, he couldn't help but recall those scattered past. Just like this starry sky, endless, there are light and dark, big and small.

Unable to sleep, he wrapped himself in bandages, put on his clothes, climbed out of the window, and jumped onto the house. Looking up at the sky, he took a deep breath, stretched his waist, and couldn't help but sigh: "The starry sky tonight is so beautiful!" At this time, Xuantian suddenly heard fragmentary cries echoing in the air, Xuantian sighed slightly, he knew that it must be the villagers who could not return to their relatives who were crying silently.

I don't know if it's because of the bowl of wine, or because I heard these sad cries, Xuantian's heart suddenly swayed like the big tree in front of him. After a deep sigh, he lay down on the house with his head in his hands, looked at the starry sky, and fell into deep thought.

At this time a year ago, he was lying on his house as he is now, looking at the starry sky, full of countless fantasies and longings for the outside world. At that time, he remembered that his aunt had told him that the beings in the Three Realms were as numerous as the stars in the sky, infinite and innumerable. Each star corresponds to every life in our Three Realms, and when you see a meteor falling in the sky, it means that a life is about to pass away.

At that time, I looked at the bustling sky, swinging my legs happily, and laughing from time to time. Because there are no stars falling from the sky tonight, the stars in the night sky are still as numerous as before, and they remain motionless in the air. This shows that no one is dead in the outside world, because the stars are all in the sky, and at that time I was full of countless beautiful fantasies about the outside world, there was no killing, harmony, everyone was free and playing together in harmony. Just like I saw the group of children by the stream, because I rarely saw stars falling, they were all shining in the air.

However, since I went down the mountain twice, these beautiful illusions have been shattered in an instant, and I have been calculated in the city, the bloody slaughter in Taoyuan Village, the cursed black dragon tattoo, and now the darkness of Huojiazhuang. All of this gave me a new perspective on the world, and I suddenly felt that the world was not as beautiful as I thought, but made me feel so dark and ugly. I don't know why, I deeply feel that I have been deceived, I don't know if it is because of my aunt's words, or the innocence of my youth, in short, my heart is extremely empty and lonely now.

However, looking at the bright moonlight and thinking about it carefully, this world may not be so bad, because there are still kind and simple people like Brother Yi's family, his master, and Uncle Xu. Thinking of these people's faces, Xuantian had a bright smile on his face, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the feeling of the breeze.

Before he could lie down for long, Xuantian suddenly heard the sound of bricks and tiles colliding, "What person?" Xuan Tian sat up violently and looked in the direction of the eaves.

"Don't get excited, it's me." I saw a thin black young man climb onto the roof, and Xuan Tian fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xu Laohan's grandson "Xu Haotian"

Xuantian immediately walked over, pulled him to his side, and asked suspiciously, "Why did you come to the rooftop?" ”

"Just like you, I can't sleep!" Xu Haotian patted the dust on his body and replied briskly. The two teenagers sat side by side, looking up at the beautiful sky together.

"The last time I saw the stars here was with my father, and the moon that night, as it was today, was so bright, like a transparent mirror. However, the fly in the ointment is that today's moon is not as round as that day, and the moon that night was really round! Xu Haotian stared at the bright moon in the night sky and muttered to himself.

Xuantian saw that Xu Haotian's eyes were constantly rolling with tears, gently patted his shoulder, and said softly: "I have heard your grandfather say everything about your father, your father is a well-known man, don't be too sad." ”

Xu Haotian gently rubbed his eyes and set his eyes on Xuantian, "You are here alone late at night looking at the stars, you must be thinking about some of the past!" I still don't know anything about you! ”

Xuantian looked at the boy in front of him, who was a year younger than himself, and didn't know whether to tell him the truth, and he also had a stomach full of bitterness and wanted to talk to someone. But as soon as the words came to his mouth, he still took it back, and just told him that he grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and it was his aunt who asked him to go to Jiangling Pavilion to learn art.

When Xu Haotian heard that Xuantian was going to Jiang Ling Pavilion, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Are you going to Jiang Ling Pavilion too?" ”

"Yes! What's wrong? Xuantian asked suspiciously.

"To tell you the truth, the last time I talked to my father, I asked me to go to Jiang Lingge to learn art, but unfortunately I was arrested by Pan Hu and them later. If you're going to Jiangling Pavilion, take me with you! In this way, we will have a companion on the road. Xu Haotian looked at Xuantian intently.

Xuantian was stunned in place, he didn't speak for a long time, if Xu Hao really walked with him, he didn't know whether it was one more class or one more drag.

Xu Haotian saw that Xuantian didn't reply to himself, just looked at himself blankly, not knowing what he was thinking, so he asked softly, "What's wrong?" Any questions? ”

Xuantian came back to his senses and said, "No... Nope..." In the face of Xu Haotian's request, he really couldn't make up any lies to refuse, so he had to agree casually.

Xu Haotian saw that Xuantian had agreed to him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then it's decided, I'll tell my grandfather tomorrow." Ay! By the way, there's one thing I've always wanted to ask you. ”

"What's the matter?" Xuantian frowned.

Xu Haotian pointed to Xuantian's right hand and said, "Why is your right hand always wrapped in a bandage, I found out when you came to save me, is it a very serious injury and has not recovered?" ”

Xuantian subconsciously pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Yes! It was a burn from before, and it has not yet recovered. ”

"Do you want me to go to the village doctor tomorrow to help you take a look at it again and apply some medicine or something."

Xuantian hurriedly shook his hand after hearing this, "No need, no need, I've already applied medicine before." ”

"Oh! Is it really not needed? ”

Xuantian saw that Xu Haotian was going to continue to ask, so he immediately changed the topic, stretched his waist, covered his mouth and said: "Suddenly a little sleepy, it's not too early, rest early!" With that, he jumped off the house and returned to the house.

Xu Haotian looked at Xuantian's figure, touched his head, and said to himself: "Why do you feel that he has something to hide from me, is there something unspeakable?" ”

Xuantian returned to the room and lay on the bed, Chang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling very uncomfortable, because he lied to Xu Haotian after all. I don't know why, he suddenly felt a little regretful, Xu Laohan and his family are kind and simple people, and they don't feel the need to lie to them. But before he went down the mountain, Xiao Hongfei repeatedly told him not to let anyone see the black dragon tattoo on his arm before he arrived at Jiang Ling Pavilion, and not to tell him about his deeds in detail.

"No matter, anyway, he wants to go to Jiang Ling Pavilion with me, and when he arrives at Jiang Ling Pavilion, it's not too late to tell him." Xuantian whispered to himself, and then fell asleep, and this quiet night passed like this.
