Yun Hai took her to rest well in this Ming Palace, although a long time has passed, but because both of them have their own thoughts, they did not fall asleep, but just slept lightly.

He Xingyao looked at her face very carefully, clear and graceful, graceful and luxurious but concise, with a faint kingly aura between her eyebrows, all of which converged on one person, but had a unique charm.

Yun Hai saw that she had been staring at herself very strangely, and couldn't help but shake her hands in front of her eyes, and said in a playful tone: "Why, are you attracted by the charm of this city lord?" ”

She shook her head, she had never seen a city lord so unorthodox as the person in front of her, and this was the first time she had seen it.

"No, I just don't think you're a bad person!"

"Of course, who do you want me to cloud offshore? Naturally, you can't be a bad person, you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

She knew that Yun Hai was telling the truth, but she still couldn't help but want to leave this puppet city.

So, she had no choice but to say tentatively: "Miss Yun, since you are the city lord of this puppet city, can you tell Zai Xia how to leave here?" I'm really curious. ”

Yun Hai didn't think at all, the friend he had just made wanted to leave in the blink of an eye, could it be that this puppet city was really cursed?

She was a little puzzled, but at the same time she had a little understanding, after all, in this huge city, no one had ever come in, and the woman in front of her was the only one who could come here, she wanted to cherish it, but she couldn't force it.

After thinking of this, Yun Hai directly took her whole person into his arms, and the action was quite intimate, and even approached her ear, "He Xingyao, do you know?" You're the only one who can come here and stand in front of me and talk to me, and I want to cherish my friendship with you, but are you still going to leave? ”

She nodded, her eyes were full of determination and uneasiness, after all, no matter how strange this place was, the woman in front of her had no intention of harming people after all, how could she not be moved?

"I don't belong here after all, if one day you can go to the outside world for a walk, you will find that there are not only you and me in this world, there are many interesting people and things."

Yun Hai didn't expect her to say such a thing at all, but he still reluctantly said to her: "Just because of this reason, do you want to leave here?" I'm not going to let you get your wish! ”

As soon as he finished saying this, all of a sudden, the sky was overcast, and the whole world changed color, and even the heavy rain poured down, drenching the two of them in a mess.

It's too late, it's too soon.

I don't know what the effect is, He Xingyao's whole person actually floated in mid-air, Yun Hai grabbed her hands with some anger, and the two of them fell down rapidly, looking quite dangerous.

She looked at the clouds below her, and couldn't help but persuade: "The first time I saw you, I knew that you were a good person, but you and I were just a dream in the illusion, and other than that, it didn't matter, you know?" ”

Yun Hai never thought that she would say this, it was too hurtful, but this is often the case, otherwise how can reality be more cruel than dreams?

She was a little helpless, but she finally made up her mind, and she didn't know what method she used to cover the entire puppet city in a thick fog, and even if you stood on the opposite side, others couldn't see clearly.

After all this was done, she let go of the hands that were holding He Xingyao, nodded and admitted her mistake: "I'm sorry, I know that I am very selfish in doing this, but you are the only friend I have in the outside world for so many years, I really don't want you to leave, because I don't like separation." ”

He Xingyao looked at her such a sincere face, and was moved for a while.

At this moment, the old man from before suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, shouting in his mouth, "Bad fate, bad fate!" ”

He Xingyao recognized the old man at a glance, and ran over quickly, grabbed his hands with some excitement and said, "Old man, do you remember me?" This is the lord of this puppet city, and she is my good friend. ”

The old man did not say anything, but he glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and disappeared again like a gust of wind, as if he had never appeared.

She felt that all this was really strange, but she didn't want to sweep away Yun Hai's interest, so she smiled and said: "You said that this old man is really strange, he doesn't know what he is muttering in his mouth, he told me a lot last time, and this time he even ignored it." ”

Yun Hai looked at her a little stunned, couldn't help but flick her head, and then said mysteriously: "Go, I'll take you to see good things." ”

She smiled and said yes, and quickly followed.

Although Yun Hai did a lot of things to keep her from leaving this puppet city, it didn't prevent the two of them from being at ease here.

Everything was always so magical, and Yun Qian soon moved out two brown horses, the pony looked very strong, and the fur was also very strong, and at a glance he knew that this was a famous horse.

He Xingyao looked at these horses, a little hesitant in her heart, although she had dreamed of having an adventure since she was a child, but she had never ridden a horse, she was an out-and-out "horse idiot".

So, when Yun Hai led two horses to walk beside her, she scratched her hair a little embarrassedly, and said with some hesitation: "I'm sorry, I, I can't ride a horse." ”

As soon as Yun Hai heard this, he suddenly burst out laughing, and seeing that her face was a little bad, he suppressed his laughter.

"You don't know how to ride a horse, how about I teach you?"

In the face of Yun Hai's enthusiasm, she was very hesitant, but at the same time she was a little nervous, after all, learning to ride a horse is also the first step in walking the rivers and lakes!

However, Yun Hai has always been a man of action, and without waiting for her to hesitate, she directly pulled the person to the horse, and then directly turned over and got on the horse, and the two of them rode together.

He Xingyao felt the temperature of the people behind him, and for some reason he suddenly thought of Chu Yuan, and he didn't know how those two people were doing in Zhouzhuang now?

Yun Hai noticed her loss of consciousness and couldn't help but tease, "What are you thinking?" Looks so fascinating? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a passing moment!"

"That's fine, as long as you're not thinking about the outside world, I don't worry about you leaving."

……

In this way, the two of them chatted and talked with each other, and by the way, they rode horses around the entire puppet city, and they felt happy in each other's hearts.

She had never observed the city carefully, and she was originally a little repulsed in her heart, but for some reason, when she admired the whole city with Yun Hai, the original feelings disappeared, and even looking at the grass and trees here, she suddenly felt kind and lovely.

Yun Hai pointed to a shop on the far right, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, this was originally the shop of Blacksmith Li's family, but then their family somehow suddenly disappeared, and this place has become the deserted appearance it is today!" ”

He Xingyao felt that this was really a little strange, how could a good person disappear inexplicably? Unless the blacksmiths aren't from the Puppet City at all, and there's a better way to get out of here.

After thinking of this, she asked sideways, "Then you are a blacksmith family here, where did you live before?" Why did it disappear for no apparent reason? ”

Yun Qian shook his head and continued the words that he had not finished before, "At that time, I was young, and I don't know why, I thought that Blacksmith Li's family was very amiable, and they knew a lot of stories outside, which I didn't know. ”

After a pause, she continued: "Speaking of this Blacksmith Li's family, it should have been ten years since I left here, and at that time I was not as tall as I am now, and Blacksmith Li's family was not as depressed as it is now, but like a ...... market."

Speaking of these past events, she felt sour in her heart for no reason, and couldn't help hugging the person in her arms tighter, for fear that He Xingyao would also disappear quietly like the previous Li blacksmith family.

He Xingyao felt her movements, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Don't worry, I won't leave at will, but can you let go of me first and let me take a breath?" ”

When she heard this, she instantly turned over and dismounted, pulled He Xingyao off the horse, and the two of them walked around the door of this blacksmith Li's shop together, telling each other about their own affairs.

Suddenly, an old woman in shabby clothes came up and was selling a lot of knick-knacks, and a string of fresh sugar gourds in her hand, which looked really hard.

So, without saying a word, He Xingyao stepped forward to help the old woman put her things on the ground, and then he was ready to come to Yun Hai's side again.

The old woman looked at the kind girl in front of her, and couldn't help but ask: "Kind girl, this is the sugar gourd I bought just now, I haven't had time to eat it yet, so I will give it to you and the woman just now to eat together, it can be regarded as a little heart." ”

She originally wanted to shirk it, but she couldn't resist it, and she has always liked to eat sugar gourds very much, so she couldn't help but be tempted to take it.

Yun Hai didn't expect her to be so kind, so he had to smile helplessly and said, "Xingyao, why did you come here without saying a word?" I'm so worried, you say, are you wrong? ”

As soon as she heard this, she knew that the person in front of her was not really angry, so she asked the sugar gourd to cross in front of Yun Hai and said, "It's the little woman's fault, the little woman is here to make amends to the adult!" Oh, fresh sugar gourd, eat it! ”

As soon as she finished saying this, He Xingyao took advantage of her unpreparedness to stuff the sugar gourd into her mouth, and she had to bite down on it and taste it carefully.

I have to say that the taste of this sugar gourd is really good, sweet and sour, there is a sweet feeling, that is the taste of happiness.

"Isn't it delicious?" He Xingyao was really curious.

For the first time, she felt that the woman in front of her really regarded herself as a good friend, and said in a good mood: "This taste is really unique, you can eat the rest!" I've already tasted it anyway, it's special. ”

When she said this, she kept a smile on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and unconsciously moved her gaze to the woman in front of her.

For the first time, she felt that she was no longer alone, but that there was someone by her side, with anticipation, waiting, joy and joy.

This was originally just an ordinary string of sugar gourds, but He Xingyao looked at her somewhat intoxicated expression, but felt that this sugar gourd was of great significance, maybe he inadvertently provoked her memories!

Thinking of this, He Xingyao looked at her with some smugness, and then ate both sugar gourds at once.

I have to say that her guess was right, Yun Qian did think of the past, it was an unforgettable but painful time.

Back in time, back to ten years ago.

At that time, Yun Offshore was just a child who had just turned ten years old, and witnessed the changes and terrible things that had happened in this puppet city......

At the age of ten, she was so helpless, watching her sister and parents leave this world one after another, leaving her alone to support this puppet city and shoulder the responsibilities of her parents and sister alone......

She still remembers that night when the fireworks went off, and her sister said that when she found her happiness one day, she would definitely take her to eat the best sugar gourd and see the best men and women in the world......

But all this, after all, when she was ten years old, all became extravagant hopes, and they could never come true.

At the beginning, my sister pulled her to sit on the bank of the Shiqiao River, looking at the flickering fireworks in the sky, and couldn't help but be moved: "Offshore, my sister knows that these fireworks are very beautiful and beautiful, but they can't last long after all, so my sister doesn't want you to start like these fireworks, but end in a hurry, because Xiao Offshore will grow up one day and become the master of the whole city, shouldering the fate of the whole city......"

At that time, she didn't understand what her sister meant, but things in this world will never be as expected.

It wasn't until later, when no one presided over this puppet city, that she understood why her sister didn't let herself be a fireworks-like woman, it turned out that the beauty of this world is always so short-lived, it is better not to be so vigorous at the beginning, maybe the years are quiet and good!

She looked at He Xingyao, and for some reason thought of her sister at the beginning, and couldn't help but regard the person in front of her as her sister's stand-in, but she knew that He Xingyao and her sister were different after all, as if there would never be two people in this world who were completely similar and had exactly the same personality.

He Xingyao saw that she had been in a daze, and couldn't help waving his hand: "Hey, you see that the lotus flowers on the riverside are blooming so well, and they have a unique artistic conception!" ”

She originally had no intention of appreciating it, but for some reason she couldn't bear to refuse the person in front of her, but felt that He Xingyao and her sister were somewhat similar, but a little different.

So, she walked over quickly, looked at He Xingyao and said, "Xingyao, I'm older than you, you can call me sister in the future!" ”

He Xingyao knew that she had always wanted to be friends with her, but she didn't expect that now she wanted to be her sister, how could this be good?

"No, I have a sister at home, and what's wrong with you and me being friends? Why be a sister? ”

She didn't know how to explain it to the person in front of her, but she did have the heart to be a sister to her, not only because He Xingyao was somewhat similar to her sister, but because she really wanted to see what the outside world was like when Blacksmith Li said?

In this way, she said a little embarrassed: "You told me that you are from Zhouzhuang, since you can come here, it means that this place and the outside world must be interconnected, so I want to go out and have a look, after all, you and I are friends, if you really become sisters in the future, you can take care of them outside." ”

He Xingyao felt that what he said was reasonable, so he nodded and agreed, and the two of them worshiped Changshengtian, married Jin Lan, and became real sisters.

They looked at each other and smiled, and then returned to the Ming Palace.
