Evening, seaside, chalets.

"I didn't think you had such a good place." She sat in the cabin, looking at the blue sea in front of her, and said quietly.

"Hehe, it's just a wandering person in the rivers and lakes, where you fall in love, you will be there, but you won't stay anywhere for too long."

She looked out the window at the blue sea and said quietly, "There's nothing wrong with that, isn't it?" In the past, I also longed for this kind of life. ”

"Pack it up, it's been a long time, I thought I'd never come here again." He reached out and touched the small round table in the room, which was already covered with a thick layer of dust.

"Why do you think you'll never come?" She caught the sadness that passed between his brows.

"I'll go get some water first, and you can clean it up for me." He wasn't going to answer her question, and walked away on his own.

She could only pick up the broom and start cleaning, the thick dust on the ground accumulated heavy memories, at this moment all rose and danced under her wielding, and her heart was like this dust, flying all over the sky.

The blue clothes outside the house, looking back at the shadows in the house, the deeply hidden pain also began to intensify at this moment.

The name and figure in my heart are like a scar on my heart, although it has long been scabbed, but it has long been rotten and I can't move or touch it, because if I touch it a little, it will hurt into the bone marrow, and it will be bloody in an instant.

"Nan Ruochen, is it okay for you to let me live here for a while, I know this is a bit abrupt, but I really don't have a place to go." She asked cautiously, her eyes darkened.

"Hmm." He silently cleaned up the house, his brows were frowning, and everywhere there was a memory that belonged to the person in his heart, how he could let it go, how he could forget it.

When she had tidied up the house, it was already dark, and she was already exhausted, and she looked at the only small wooden bed in the room in embarrassment.

Nan Ruochen walked out without raising his head: "You sleep here." ”

"And where are you going?"

"I have my own place."

Nan Ruochen seemed to have become a little cold after arriving here, she wanted to know the reason, but after all, she couldn't resist the wave of tiredness and fell asleep.

It was a long dream, carrying the injustice of the whole world, the interweaving of various pictures, sweet or cruel, the heavy snow that swept one after another, the fault that covered the world, and the loneliness that covered the world.

She cried and cried in her dreams, but she could only be slaughtered stupidly, but what could tears wash away. She never wanted to know whose fault it was for the moth to fight the fire in the first place.

Early the next morning, when she was still asleep, she was woken up by Nan Ruochen: "Lu Nuoxin, get up quickly, I'll teach you archery." ”

She didn't know why: "Why do you want to learn archery?" "There are still tears from the night before in the corners of my eyes.

"If someone hunts you down next time, I can't guarantee that I'll be able to save you." Nan Ruochen couldn't help but pull her out.

In front of her eyes were bows and arrows and targets that had been prepared for a long time, and she was in a trance for a moment.

"You don't have to exert all your strength when you pull the strings, just let the hands expand hard, and the muscles of the shoulders must be relaxed; The lead archer gently stretches backwards until fully extended, aiming for the bull's-eye, then loosening the string. You try it first. Nan Ruochen ignored her surprise and said to herself.

She had just woken up, and she was still in a daze, so naturally she didn't listen to him carefully, but his sentence "You come and try" suddenly woke her up.

“…… I've never played this ...... "How to shoot an arrow from a time in a few hundred years." So she excused herself.

"I know you haven't played this." He fiddled with the bow and arrow in his hand.

"Then you still ......," she was a little annoyed.

"If you don't know, you have to learn!" Nan Ruochen's tone was firm and unquestionable. As he spoke, he had already shoved his bow and arrow into her hand.

"Try as I said."

She couldn't shirk it, so she had to reluctantly take the bow, but it was not as heavy as she thought.

She tried to recall what Nan Ruochen had just said, and tried to pull an arrow, but the arrow fell crookedly into the sea sand.

She bowed her head with a gloomy expression.

"Archery requires a certain amount of experience to practice, and it must be the first time, not to mention that you are a girl." He comforted her, as if casually, but didn't bother to wait for her to come out of the gloom.

The muscles under the tiger's thumb supported the bow handle, and then turned the arm inward. Again! ”

"Concentrate and come again!"

"Come again!"

"Come again!"

“……”

After practicing all morning, Nan Ruochen refused to relax at all, and her arms could no longer be raised.

"You rest for a while, and we'll practice again in the afternoon."

She was so tired that she fell on the beach at once: it's good to be so tired, isn't it? At least I don't have time to think about you, I don't have time to think about the happiness and hurt of the past, and then I can forget about those sorrows, right?

But can you tell me how I can forget the beautiful and cruel images in my dreams? How can we erase those feelings of happiness or pain?

***

In the next few days, Nan Ruochen has been teaching her to ride a horse and shoot arrows, she has become more and more proficient in riding horses, and it has become easier and easier to draw a bow.

When she hit the red bullseye for the first time, she laughed with excitement and even began to dance and spin on the ground.

It was the first time she had laughed in so many days at the beach. He had never seen her so happy, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

She sensitively noticed the smile on the corner of his mouth, and immediately embarrassed to get up and restrain herself, but she couldn't help but smile.

I don't know why, the person in front of me, although I have only known her for a few days, can always give her a sense of steadiness, so that she can let go of all her anxiety and defense, I don't know if this is the so-called sense of security?

All his sternness and all his casual things these days seem to be teaching her how to make herself strong, intentionally or unconsciously.

Because after coming out of the palace, there is no one to protect her by her side, is there?

"It's getting late, I'll go find something to eat first." With that, he disappeared in a flash, leaving her alone in the cabin.

Nan Ruochen should have his own story, she thought. These days, he often stares at a certain place in a daze, but his originally calm eyes suddenly dim.

The pages covered with ash in the bookcase kept a graceful and timeless font, she had seen Nan Ruochen's handwriting, this was not Nan Ruochen's font, it seemed to be a woman's handwriting. It's just that no matter how much she tried, he wouldn't speak, not even the slightest hint.
