Xiao Wei called someone to inform Feng Yuan in advance, telling him to get up on time tomorrow morning and go to bed early at night.

But she couldn't sleep, she wanted to know a little bit about what Mei Yuexue was doing now.

Tonight the moon was full, the cool breeze was blowing, and the shadows of the trees in the yard were swaying, and she sat by the window, bored and bracing her cheeks to look at the moon.

Tonight, Mei Yuexue is also looking at the moon.

He was busy for many days, and today he had a little free, and he came to sort out the sketches, and painted for two hours, and felt that his eyes were sore, so he stood by the window and looked at the sky, and wanted to take a rest, and when he saw a full moon, he couldn't help but be stupid.

Without Xiao Wei, this mountain forest is exceptionally quiet. Usually this mountain forest has always been like this, and he didn't feel anything about it, when Xiao Wei first came, he still hated her for making this village a miasma, but now that the dead woman is finally gone, he is a little unaccustomed to it.

It's so quiet around.

He was a little afraid of this quiet, just like the scene he saw after waking up in that small temple after being rescued by the Lin family brothers, the surrounding silence was terrifying. That night in the mountains and forests was pitch black, there was no light, not even the moon was useless, he woke up with a nightmare, dreaming that many people in black clothes were holding weapons at him and stabbing him, there were too many people, he couldn't run, and he couldn't resist, he opened his eyes in a hurry, but he hadn't forgotten the scene in the dream, in the infinite darkness, it seemed that there would be weapons stabbing at him at any time, but he couldn't hear anything, couldn't see anything, couldn't hide, couldn't avoid.

Since then, he has been afraid of being alone and afraid of quiet.

Without Xiao Wei's Hidden Dragon Cave, it is extraordinarily quiet.

On the contrary, he was a little restless, and he could not calm down to paint, so he paced back and forth in the room.

Lin Yi came to bring him a snack, and when he saw that he was in a hurry to put down the snack and close the door, he exclaimed: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Mei Yuexue shook her head and said, "It's just too quiet, I'm flustered!" Lin Yi said: "How can it be too quiet, isn't it the same as before?" You must be too busy these days, so your heart is messy, you sit down, I will help you luck. ”

This is not the first time he feels such a feeling in his heart, the first time is when he and Mei Yuexue are on the way here, that time is that Mei Yuexue almost went crazy when she practiced, and this is the second time, so Lin Yi is very worried.

Mei Yuexue reluctantly sat down cross-legged on the bed, closed her eyes and luckily, Lin Yi sat behind him, with her palms on his back to assist.

After a while, Mei Yuexue felt much calmer.

Lin Yi collected the internal force, and Mei Yuexue said: "Lin Yi, what do you think of Xiao Wei?"

Lin Yi frowned and said: "Actually, I don't think she seems to have been sent by Concubine Luan, she has been out several times, and she would have already handed over the news if she wanted to deliver it, but we are still safe and sound, and looking at her usual appearance, it doesn't look like she pretended to be at all."

Mei Yuexue emphasized solemnly: "Yes, I often pay attention to her, and I haven't found any tricks."

Lin Yi blinked his eyes and said, "Oh! It turns out that you always look at her because of this, I thought you confused her. ”

Lin Yi said this very directly, but Mei Yuexue's face was hot, and he had a sense of "explanation is cover-up, cover-up is the truth", he turned his head to look at Lin Yi, glared at him and said: "Joke, what kind of beauty have I never seen, that dead woman, she is not good-looking, she is crazy like a crazy woman every day, I will be confused by her?" It's her who covets my beauty, and it's almost the same! ”

"Poof—ha......!" Lin Yi laughed so hard that he almost rolled to the ground.

Mei Yuexue kicked him and said, "What do you mean by laughing like this?"

Lin Yi said: "Since Miss Xiao came, your words have become more and more ridiculous, you also said that people are like crazy people, I look at things related to other people, you are about to become crazy!" You are the crown prince, what should a prince say, what about your manners, what about your rules? ”

Mei Yuexue hurriedly said: "Lao Tzu is not a prince now, he is a bandit, he is a hooligan!" Why do I have anything to do with her? I laugh when I'm happy, I lose my temper when I'm angry, she's old, why should I do anything for her! ”

Lin Yi smiled: "Okay, good! Don't talk about her, Mei Gongzi, do you feel more comfortable and feel better now? ”

Mei Yuexue glanced at him, took a deep breath, and felt much happier in her heart.

Lin Yi said with a smile: "I'm going to take everyone to boxing and practice early tomorrow morning, I'll go back first, and you can go to bed early."

Lin Yi settled down and turned around to leave, but Mei Yuexue suddenly stopped him and said, "There is something that can't wait for tomorrow to say, let's go out in a few days, go to Qinglou."

"Ahh I...... Shall I go with you......" Lin Yi asked tremblingly, he had never been to the Qinglou.

"Of course! Do you want me to go alone? ”

"Hmm...... I'm shy! Lin Yi said sheepishly.

Mei Yuexue said angrily: "It's not for you to do it, we have serious things to do!" Xiao Wei said that she had worked as a maiko in that Qinglou before, let's go check her details! Mei Yuexue said very seriously.

Lin Yi was a little surprised when she heard Xiao Wei's life experience for the first time, and Mei Yuexue hurriedly reminded: "Shhhhh You are my good brother, I just told you, the rest of the people must not let them know, although that woman is very annoying, but we can't go around publicizing and ruining her reputation, her background sounds quite pitiful according to herself, she also went to be a maiko in order to survive, let's go and verify, if it is true, we should not dislike her, but should protect her more, she is a woman after all. What's more, everyone was once a bandit who robbed homes and houses, and even I did theft, so I don't deserve to despise her! I think that this woman is stuck in the quagmire but can turn her heart to the sun, no matter how sad life is, she always has hope, and she is willing to use her brain, and her mind is also meticulous, and she doesn't care about the opinions of others, just live happily. She is different from the general transcendent object, she does not run away from difficulties, nor does she care about winning or losing, just face difficulties and solve one problem after another, if she can't solve it, she is not sad and discouraged, I have always felt that she is like a natural elf, like God specially arranged, I just need such a person! Watching her busy tossing and turning every day, I also think it's a good thing to be alive, and I will feel full of strength under her influence, if it weren't for her, Hidden Dragon Village wouldn't have been able to establish a goal so quickly and get on the right path, and I wouldn't have broken free from the past so quickly, and I wouldn't have understood what was most important at the moment......"

The more Mei Yuexue spoke, the more uncontrollable she became, and she kept talking, the corners of her eyes and mouth were smiling, and her tone became more and more gentle.

"Oops!" Lin Yi broke this gentleness with an exclamation.

Mei Yuexue stopped and looked at him a little reluctantly, Lin Yi covered her cheeks and said sourly: "My teeth are uncomfortable, sore!"

"Huh?" Mei Yuexue didn't understand what she meant for a while, and glared at him suspiciously.

Lin Yi continued: "Then you just continue to think about your cute and unforgettable elf to sleep, I'm sleepy!" After he finished speaking, he immediately turned around and ran out quickly, and Mei Yuexue's reprimanded voice after suddenly realizing came from behind him: "What nonsense are you stinky boy, no big or small!" I should also set a few rules for you to let you know who is the boss in this village! ”

Mei Yuexue chased to the door, Lin Yi had already run away and didn't even have a shadow, he punched the threshold angrily, full of indignation in his stomach, but he didn't care about being afraid of the dark and quiet.

On the third day after Xiao Wei left, Mei Yuexue took Lin Yi out of the Hidden Dragon Pass.

The two of them changed their clothes in the mountains and forests, dressed up as Wensheng Gongzi, and walked into the city.

There is only one green building in the city, you can find it when you ask, after entering, the old bustard saw that the two were not dressed very generously, but they were rare handsome and clean, and their bearing was quite extraordinary, the old bustard was well-informed, and he had read countless people, and knew that such a person was more difficult to deal with than the jeweled one, and he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately greeted him and smiled: "Yo, the two sons look at the face!" What do you call it? ”

Mei Yuexue said: "The surname is Mei, the plum blossom of Mei." The old bustard laughed extremely exaggeratedly after hearing this: "Yo——! As soon as I look at you, I know that you have an identity, not an ordinary person, I know that you have an elegant character when I listen to your surname, our girl here is just to your taste, it is the omnipotence ......of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs," she said, waving her handkerchief around, emitting a stream of rouge powder, Mei Yuexue and Lin Yi sneezed together.

Mei Yuexue didn't want to say more to her, so she hurriedly interrupted her and said, "We are here to ask you about a person, have you seen this person!"

Mei Yuexue took out a brocade box, with a painting rolled inside, he took out the drawing paper inside, handed the brocade box to Lin Yi, and then slowly opened the scroll. Lin Yi stood next to him and stared at the painting tightly, he was also curious about what it was, but as soon as the scroll was opened, it was actually Xiao Wei!

A dancing Xiaoxiao, the lines on the picture are smart, Lin Yi can see it at a glance, Mei Yuexue's painting borrows the brushwork of Wu Daozi's "Heavenly King Sending His Son", the outlined skirt is extremely smart, and it also sets off the graceful posture of the woman in the painting, like a fairy falling from the sky.

"Xiaoxiao!" The old bustard screamed. The faces of the characters on the painting are only more than an inch long, but Mei Yuexue uses a pen to be fine, and the facial features are completely consistent with the real person, so even if the people on the painting have a lot of beautification factors, the old bustard still recognizes it at a glance.

"It's how carefully you see it, how clearly you remember it, and how much thought it takes!" Lin Yi thought about it, and began to feel sore again.

"Xiaoxiao? Is this her name? Does she have any other name? Mei Yuexue was slightly nervous in her heart.

"Oh, I gave her the name Xiaoxiao, what is her original surname is a little long, I also forgot, not to mention that once I come to this kind of place, I don't ask about the predecessor, I don't want to be in the future, in short, 'Xiaoxiao' is not her real name." The old bustard then asked, "Mei Gongzi, have you seen her?" This girl redeemed herself last year, and there has been no news so far, son, have you seen her? ”

Consistent with what Xiao Wei said, Mei Yuexue was relieved, nodded and said, "I've seen it." Why did she leave here in the first place? You know, tell me the truth, I thank you so much. ”

"Ouch, look at what you said, it's not a big deal. This Xiaoxiao is a good match with a talent here from us, and the silver he went to Beijing to take the exam Xiaoxiao saved a lot of money for him, but this man went to the exam and never returned. Xiaoxiao is young, and she can't think about it at the beginning, so she went to find that man, childe, have you seen her? Where is she now? ”

Mei Yuexue felt a sore feeling in her heart for some reason, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the name of that Xiucai?"

The old bustard said: "I am very impressed with him, because he is the only one who says that he likes Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao looks mediocre, he has come to me for many years, and he has only served one guest......

She ...... She serves...... Served him...... How did she serve...... Who the hell is that showman! Mei Yuexue's face was red, and she was a little incoherent under the gaffe, Lin Yi hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Son, calm down!"

The old bustard saw some clues and said, "Yo! Childe, is this girl back, have you seen her, do you want to buy her as a concubine or a maid? Hey! You think too much, just our Xiaoxiao girl's appearance, absolutely safe enough, I don't laugh at her ugly, let alone laugh at you for not having vision, I just said that her appearance is too mediocre, people spend money to come to Qinglou, looking for her like this is to lose money! The two of them just talked and recited poems, danced and sang together, and didn't do anything out of the ordinary! ”

"Dancing ......" Mei Yuexue suddenly remembered the night after the rain, Xiao Wei said that he was the second person to praise her for dancing well, and her heart was even more uncomfortable.

"Our son asked what that Xiucai was called, where do you talk so much!" Lin Yi saw that the old bustard was verbose, and Mei Yuexue was so angry that she couldn't speak, so she rushed to say it for him.

The old bustard sighed: "Ouch, look at my mouth, it's really verbose, damn it!" That showman, his name is Zhao Baiquan! ”

"Zhao Baiquan, Zhao Baiquan ......" Mei Yuexue muttered his name, and actually had some memory.
