Chapter 53: The Red Moon
There was only a bamboo curtain between Guichen's bathtub and the outside, and his whole body stiffened when he heard the woman's voice.
Although it was only separated by a bamboo curtain, Guichen was not worried about any accidents before, including getting along with her in the same room for the past ten days, and he was also uncomfortable at the beginning to now calmly.
It's just that although this woman does things casually, as long as she gets along gradually, she can find that etiquette is almost engraved in her bones, in fact, except for those crisis moments, she will never have any contact with him. is always generous all the time, and if he is startled, it will seem that he has a small belly.
However......
Without such ......
Sure enough, she was a little weird today.
Although he can't say what's wrong, Guichen feels that today's Ying Baoyue's mood is a little wrong, but she hides it too well, and he really can't see through it.
Listening to the inaudible footsteps walking beside him, each step was like stepping on the heart of a young man in the bathtub.
Soaking in hot water, it's like turning into lava. bubbling and bubbling, Guichen's whole body was about to burn.
"You...... How can you ......"
Guichen froze for a moment and found that it was too late to say this, he couldn't say much loss when he was a big man, but what was this girl thinking? Come in while he's in the shower, it's going to ......
"Whoa."
However, no matter when the reverie of the teenager in the bathtub continues, there is still no chance to continue.
Guichen sat blankly in the tub, looking at the dark liquid running down the ends of his hair.
A strong medicinal smell rises in the tub.
"Sorry, did I splash too fast?" The woman's voice sounded above him, "But this one is the most effective to fall from the head, didn't you just nod?" ”
Speaking of which, she seemed to have said something "I'm going to splash" when she came in before, but how could he have the heart to listen to what she said at that time......
Before he could think about anything, he was splashed on his head...... Warm.
Ying Baoyue looked at the young man sitting in the bathtub with the medicinal juice on his head, "I tried it before, the temperature should be just right?" ”
Why do you splash stupidly?
"It's ...... Decoction? Guichen finally came back to his senses, and before he had time to remember the thoughts in his heart, he stared at the dark medicinal juice spreading on the surface of the water in the tub and said blankly.
"Hmm," Ying Baoyue stood behind Guichen with a teacup and smiled, "I just prepared it today." ”
"Pouring into the bath water relieves fatigue and heals wounds. It's a nice thing. ”
Ay?
Guichen raised his head in a daze, and the next moment he felt that the medicinal gas in the room seemed to be flooding into his lungs, and the original muscle soreness and mental tension dissipated little by little.
It's so comfortable.
The whole person felt completely relaxed and softened.
"Look at it, it's working." Ying Baoyue looked at the young man in the bathtub with a somewhat confused gaze and laughed.
"I wrote the recipe for the decoction on the reverse side of the cover of the pharmacopoeia under your pillow," Ying Baoyue said quietly, "I remember it." ”
"Well," Guichen vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it in the steam, and Ying Baoyue glanced at the top of the young man's black head, "Then I'll go out, wait and go to bed early." ”
"Hmm." Guichen sat in the tub and nodded.
Guichen couldn't see her eyes, and he didn't dare to look back, so he didn't see her eyes at that moment.
Ying Baoyue, who was leaving with her own intentions, didn't see his eyes.
Listening to the footsteps of the girl leaving, the eyes of the boy in the warm bath soup returned to clarity, and he quietly clenched his fists.
In fact, he just didn't ask a word.
That is, you have remembered so many things, but you really don't remember who you are?
Guichen wanted to ask, but he couldn't.
If he did ask, he couldn't predict what would have happened. That's fine now.
Guichen was reluctant to speak, unwilling to break it all. A teenager sitting in a bathtub, and a young girl leaving with her back to him.
And at this time, the blood moon outside the window was rising.
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
……
……
"yes, did you observe that over there, too?" Ying Baoyue sat on the giant spirit tree, listening to the faintly trembling voice of Ji Jiashu opposite, and her eyes were gloomy.
A blood moon, when a red moon rises from the sky.
There have been rumors among the people since ancient times that if the moon changes color, there will be disaster.
Green is worried about hunger, red is fighting and fighting, yellow is virtue and joy, white is drought and mourning, black is water, and people are sick and die.
But what will happen to the real blood moon is impossible for those who have experienced it firsthand.
Ying Baoyue also heard Master say when he was a child that the people believed that the blood moon was a fierce moon and a bad omen, but Master felt that this rumor was not entirely correct.
The biggest effect of the Blood Moon is that it will bring about lunar eclipses, and every lunar eclipse, major events often occur in ancient times. Master believed that it was because natural disasters such as ground shaking and subsidence were prone to occur under the influence of tidal forces, that it was thought to bring calamities by hysteria.
But either way, this is the time that Ying Baoyue has been waiting for for a long time.
"Why did such a bad omen happen tonight......" Ji Jiashu over there looked at the huge blood-colored moon overhead, and his heart beat wildly.
Although there was a strange celestial phenomenon expected in the Academy Palace tonight, none of the teachers expected the appearance of a blood moon.
I'm afraid the entire school palace is in chaos now. Ji Jiashu leaned against the tree in the back mountain and thought silently.
For many practitioners, tonight will be a sleepless night. The same was true for him, but instead of fear, he was a little happy, and he could take the opportunity to have a good chat with this woman.
It was a pleasure to talk to her at night.
is different from those rotten old men in the school palace, talking to her always has new insights and inspiration, which makes him feel like a spring breeze.
"There will be a lunar eclipse later." Ying hugged the moon and said.
"Lunar eclipse?" Sure enough, he lived up to Ji Jiashu's expectations, and when he heard the words of the woman opposite, his eyes widened and he became more and more interested, "What will that bring?" ”
"I don't know about this," Ying Baoyue smiled helplessly when she heard the words of the young man opposite who wanted to chat, "I have something to do later, I have to go first." ”
Something?
Ji Jiashu paused, this was the first time that his conversation with her had been interrupted so quickly, and he didn't know why a strange feeling rose in his heart.
Some...... Reluctant?
It's his delusion.
"Okay, I'll ask you for advice next time." Ji Jiashu pursed her lips, "I'll look under the tree for a while." ”
Meaning, if she's done with it, she can find him.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Ying Baoyue smiled and left the giant spirit wood and returned to Guichen's room.
The light of the blood moon shone through the window on the shoulders of the girl standing in front of the boy's bed.
Ying Baoyue quietly stared at the sleeping face of the young man on the bed, and then closed her eyes.
After a breath.
Turn away.
The village was quiet on a summer night, and Yingyue walked out of the room quietly and silently by herself, walking towards the courtyard gate shrouded in moonlight.
However, the moment her palm was placed on the deadbolt, a female voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Are you leaving?"
