Chapter 41: Heaven and Moon
Qiu Xiao's expression was very calm, really like he was telling someone else's story. She deliberately looked away and raised her face towards the sky, looking at the stars in the sky to avoid seeing Shen Yuan's expression. In fact, there is no need, Shen Yuan did not show pity, and was even calmer than her, his peach blossom eyes were clear as usual, and he couldn't make any waves.
Unless there is a special situation, Shen Yuan likes to hide his emotions. When he was five years old, he was abducted by a kidnapper, and then he changed hands to give people teeth, and Shen Yuan also suffered a lot before he fell ill. She is not really unsympathetic to Qiu Xiao, but the past is gloomy and unbearable, now that it has passed, the other party can still talk about it generously, and outsiders don't need to pretend to moan.
"At first, I just thought that it would be good to be able to live in this realm, and I didn't dare to think about any dignity and decency, let alone the idea of getting ahead and having unlimited scenery. I was working in that backyard, and I didn't dare to be picky, I always wanted to stay up, and I survived it for the rest of my life. ”
Sheng Qiuxiao said as she looked in the direction of the backyard, where there were a few ear rooms in the corner, where she had lived for several months. Qiu Xiao has been talking about it all the time, and there are still some discrepancies with what Mo Yu Mandarin has said, Shen Yuan does not break it, nor does he urge, he is quite patient, he looks at her without saying a word, and waits for the following.
"For a few months, I have been in the backyard, I am not qualified to go to the front, every day to listen to my mother, sister-in-law to do things, but suddenly one day, Shang's mother said that I do work diligently and carefully, make an exception for me to go to the front yard, help Sister Xiaocui carry things. It was that day that I knew for the first time that Lengxiang Pavilion was so beautiful, and there were flowers, grass, and big trees in the courtyard. ”
Speaking of this, Qiu Xiao smiled, a pair of deer eyes were bent, the small pear vortex at the corner of her mouth was also concave, and a little tiger tooth was slightly exposed, like a delicate and innocent little girl. Shen Yuan looked at her and suddenly realized that he hadn't had such a smile for a long time. This couldn't help but make Shen Yuan feel in a trance for a moment: he thought he had seen through everything and planned everything, but was this really the case? I never seem to be really happy, maybe Qiu Xiao is right, are they all trapped here?
Qiu Xiao was obviously still immersed in her own story, and continued her story, but sent a clear and warm smile to Shen Yuanxian: "I followed Sister Xiaocui to the front yard, moved the things on the cart back, and turned my head to see that under the big acacia tree, there were several pretty little girls, one of them was wearing a cyan skirt, thin and small, but she was very good-looking, and she stood there calmly, I was really envious." Unfortunately, by the time I went back, they weren't there. ”
Shen Yuan vaguely guessed what she was going to say next, and some wanted to stop it, but it was still half a moment late, and he heard the following before he could speak. "Shang's mother told us that it was a big girl, named Yan'er." Qiu Xiao's eyes were bent into a pair of crescent moons, and his handsome face was full of tenderness that did not match his age, which made Shen Yuan feel that he was the one who was young and ignorant.
There are all kinds of beings in the Leng Xiang Pavilion, and many of them are too lazy for Shen Yuan to remember, including Sheng Qiuxiao, she didn't even know that one day many years ago, she broke into the sight of others. Even if Shen Yuan tried to recall, it was impossible to remember what day it was. Speaking of that year, Miss Mingxiang had just come to Lengxiang Pavilion, and the acacia tree had just been planted, Shen Yuan liked it very much, and he had to stand there almost every day, which was a common thing.
"I never knew that the girl in the Qinglou could live like that, confident, generous, bright and proud. I thought, I can't go on like this, I have to be good, at least not to waste my trip to this world. ”
Shen Yuan didn't know if it was his own delusion, Qiu Xiao's tail note was a little choked, and it was particularly clear in the silent night. As soon as the starry sky brightened, the moon looked dim. Qiu Xiao didn't seem to be aware of it, stood up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, put one hand on the dark red pavilion pillar, and looked up at the crescent moon, his back was very lonely.
"That's the tuyere, don't stand there." Shen Yuan spoke, and he didn't know why.
Qiu Xiao may have heard it, but he was obviously still immersed in his emotions: "Miss...... You say, "The moon we see now is the same as it will be many years from now?" She suddenly turned her face back, and she pouted slightly, her small chin was tightly tucked inward, and her eyes were unusually bright, as if she was about to cry, and as if she was desperately waiting for an answer.
Shen Yuan was caught off guard by the question, for the first time he lost the calmness that had been precipitated for many years, Gan Gan and Qiu Xiao looked at each other, opened his mouth and didn't know where to start, opened his lips in vain, blinked a pair of sheared autumn pupils, and even the ten fingers hidden in his sleeves were involuntarily entangled. In the end, she could only decide to look away and look at something else, as long as it wasn't Sheng Qiuxiao's eyes.
It worked, she thought, maybe she was softened and couldn't stand the wanderer-like look. Sheng Qiu Xiao was actually more patient than the usual Oiran, and waited for this cold beauty to calm down, regain Su Ri's cold indifference, and came up with a response.
Shen Yuan calmed his mind, glanced at it casually, and replied: "If the ancients and the present are like flowing water, they will see the bright moon together. No matter how much love and hatred there is in the world, it is just like the water of Mochuan, which seems to be gushing, but it is actually fleeting, but the sky and the moon are eternal. ”
"What ......" As soon as Shen Yuan said the first sentence, Qiu Xiao's face changed, as if he was shocked by lightning for a moment. Shen Yuan didn't want to look at her, so naturally he didn't notice it, and when he heard the sound and looked over, Qiu Xiao was no longer unusual. Shen Yuan's answer seemed to be unimportant, Qiu Xiao stopped speaking, and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes with his tail finger.
"It's a very simple truth, they all say that you are a transparent person, why are you confused?" Shen Yuan sighed, turned around in his words, and expressed his doubts implicitly, even spitting out the ones he was carrying on the Jade Flaw Mountain.
"It's the same in the concept of immortality, do you want to ascend to immortality, thinking that you can live with the sun and the moon? This idea is also stupid, but it is unacceptable. ”
With that, she got up and wanted to leave, but Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud immediately stepped forward to help. The night breeze rose and blew on everyone, and Oiran shivered slightly.
Qiu Xiao was stunned and tried to step forward to help, but was stopped by Shen Yuanyang: "Qiu Xiao, I also understand when I look at you, it is not easy to be a human being, no matter what you want, it is your own path, just walk steadily, why bother to worry so much, only to increase your troubles?" ”
