Chapter 109: Immediate Reward
Approaching midnight, Feng Yishu finally came back in the dust.
As usual, he went to Siyongzhai to ask Li Shi for peace after he came back, but when he stepped into the house today, he was stunned.
Under the warm lamplight, the mother was lying on the chaise longue that her father often used, covered with a thick velvet blanket, and at the table next to her, Ayu was quietly reading a book.
Hearing Feng Yishu's footsteps, she also looked sideways.
Looking at each other, Feng Yishu felt that his heartbeat had missed a beat.
"Why are you ......" he tugged at his collar a few times, "why are you here—Xiao Qi didn't send you home?" ”
Ah Yu shook his head, "Send it." ”
"What ......?"
"There's no one at home." Ayu replied, "She brought me back." ”
Feng Yishu looked away, he grabbed his hair, he wanted to laugh, but he seemed to mumble with a temper, "Xiao Qi is really, he always makes such a self-assertion ......"
"Thank you." Ah Yu closed the book, "I'm in trouble today." ”
Feng Yishu felt that his throat was a little dry, and his hands and feet were a little stiff, he would rather Ah Yu lower his head and read a book now than look at himself like this.
He coughed lightly, trying to salvage himself from the jumbled mass of thoughts.
Li Shi on the recliner stretched his legs slightly, and the chair made a slight squeak.
Feng Yishu glanced at his mother—Li was still asleep.
He took a soft breath in place, then walked up to Ayu step by step and placed a small box in her hand.
"For you." Feng Yishu said in a low voice.
Ah Yu didn't seem to understand what Feng Yishu meant, but she reached out and took the box.
When opened, there was a boxy piece of jade.
"...... this?"
"Cold Stone." Feng Yishu replied in a very small voice.
He looked back at his mother and the door again a little uncomfortably, as if he was doing something bad now that he was afraid that people would find out—if Xiao Qi suddenly appeared from the door at this time, he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.
But fortunately, it is quiet all around.
Ayu took out the cold stone and looked at the candle flame.
This piece of cold stone is turquoise and has a very delicate texture, and through the jade in all directions, the dancing candle flame is reflected, like a ghost locked in a gem.
"Originally, I wanted to think about what it would be better to carve first, and then I would give you the finished product when the masters in the department were ready, but ......" Feng Yishu looked at Han Shi, "What do you like?" ”
Ah Yu stared at the gem with a somewhat surprised expression, she didn't answer for a long time, and Feng Yishu stood next to her and felt her heart go up and down.
The thing he is most afraid of now is that Ah Yu is polite to him, that kind of prevarication of human feelings, he has seen too much in his parents, but he can neither understand nor be ashamed to emulate.
If people don't want what they send, they have to take it back.
He waited for a while, waiting a little anxiously, and was about to ask, Ayu reached out and put the cold stone into the box.
"Thank you." She whispered, "You don't need to carve it, it's beautiful." ”
Feng Yishu jumped high in his heart - this is, what does it mean to accept?
"What were you thinking?" "I've been thinking about it for so long." ”
“…… Perhaps, I have a gift for you too. Ayu replied, looking out at the night, "But, wait. ”
Feng Yishu also glanced back at the window, happy and surprised. He was just blindly worried about Ah Yu's refusal to accept his own things, and he hadn't thought of returning the gift, but Ah Yu's expression puzzled him-
Why look out the window? It's not like a gift for a while, it's going to be a bird with it in its mouth, right?
But even if that's the case, what's impossible? The girl in front of her seemed to be so unearthly, with a shallow alienation from everything around her, even if the next moment she suddenly said that she was a fairy outside the world, Feng Yishu felt that she probably wouldn't be surprised.
With some kind of secret joy, he was thinking about what topic to find next, Li Shi on the side suddenly woke up, Feng Yishu walked over and talked to his mother for a while, Li Shi stepped down from the chaise longue and decided to go to bed to rest.
"Ayu," Li called, "you go to sleep too, don't stay up too late, you will lose your eyes when the time comes." ”
"Hmm." Ayu was still looking out of the house, but he didn't mean to leave in the slightest.
Over there, his mother was already about to rest, and Feng Yishu had no reason to stay here, so he hurried back to the living room, thinking that it was time to say goodbye, when he suddenly heard a faint sound of snoring outside.
It's too late......
He sighed.
That's time to go.
He turned to Ayu and was about to say goodbye, when the words he was about to say suddenly got stuck in his throat.
Ah Yu still sat there quietly as before, and those originally bright and innocent eyes suddenly lost all their brilliance at this moment, and became dim and deep, like two dark wells that wanted to suck everything into them, strange and strange.
Feng Yishu instinctively took a step back, and the intuition of the demon slayer was instantly awakened - but, even under the gaze of the spiritual sense, Ah Yu's body in front of him was still clean, without the slightest demonic aura.
After a while, Ah Yu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, everything was back to normal.
"Ayu?" Feng Yishu frowned, "You-"
She raised her head and asked as usual, "Do you want to divination?" ”
"What ......"
"Today, you can do divination." Ayu replied in her usual soft and calm voice, "You can ask me three questions. ”
……
On Daizong Mountain, it is already a white snow at this moment.
Wei Xingzhen and Du Weifeng waited at a high place, one looked in the direction of Luoyang, and the other frowned, looking at Sun Youwei's palace.
"What does Lord Wei think?" Du Weifeng glanced at him, "You're too quiet tonight too." ”
Wei Xingzhen looked at the faint light in the mountains and mountains, and did not answer.
It is said that since Defective Ying also has an almost crushing restraint power against all spiritual and demonic things in the world, then it should be a matter of effort for him to break this barrier that separates the inside and outside.
But Ah Yan didn't expect him to do it.
It doesn't make sense.
However, the same unreasonable thing had already happened once this morning - Bianying did follow Tang Sanxue unguardedly to keep up with the team entering the mountain.
Why is that?
He remembered the situation a few days ago when several people discussed the plan together, obviously, now the enemy fully understands Feng Yan's abilities and weaknesses, but they know almost nothing about Flaw, so the best way is for both sides to hide the "messenger" card, so the rest of the duel, the outcome becomes no suspense.
"I have a way to keep the flawed Ying in the illusion of chastity."
Feng Yan said so at the time.
When Wei Xingzhen questioned that it was too dangerous to do so, Feng Yan shook her head and said that it was not dangerous.
"If he did come that day, then I would be 100% sure that I would have done it unscathed."
- Feng Yan said so firmly, but did not reveal any details, which made Wei Xingzhen faintly feel that she might be playing some bad idea.
In the bleak night wind, there were suddenly a few more wisps of strangeness.
"What time is it?" Wei Xingzhen asked.
"Just after the child." Du Weifeng replied.
Wei Xingzhen turned around and also cast a glance in the direction of Luoyang, "...... Here it comes. ”
