Gu Li untied the red rope tied to the branch of the cinnamon tree, and counted enough three hundred coins.

There were a lot of red ropes hanging on it, not to mention three hundred coins, she estimated that there were a thousand.

She took the three hundred coins and returned home, and at that time, Yan Qing had not returned.

Gu Li glanced up at the mutilated moon in the sky, and thought that he should not have come back so early.

Sure enough, when the moon was on the willow tops, the door was pushed open with a "squeak", and he came back on time.

"I just thought you should be back." Gu Li stood up and looked at him, his elegant and handsome face was full of joy.

After a few days of getting along, she became more and more familiar with him, and her words and deeds were much freer.

Yan Qing smiled without saying a word, looked at her with deep eyes, and walked in front of her with gentle steps.

He knew what she was happy about.

"I just went to see it, and that laurel tree really bears a lot of money!" Gu Li's eyes were shining, and her excitement was beyond words.

Yan Qing smiled again, full of clarity.

"How did you do that?" Gu Li asked curiously.

Why is it that by tying money to a laurel tree with a red string, you can "knot" more silver coins?

Yan Qing did not hide it, and explained in a warm and clear voice: "Because that laurel tree is facing the Guanyin Temple. ”

Gu Li frowned slightly, still not quite understanding.

"The people of Nanyun Kingdom believe in Guanyin, and there are temples of Guanyin all over the country, and no matter how big or small, they are all flourishing." His soft gaze hit her in the face and patiently explained to her, "They are accustomed to going to worship every day, and make wishes for the laurel tree, which they regard as a sacred tree, and hope that their wishes will come true. ”

Gu Li looked at his face intently, and when he heard him say this, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly suddenly.

She wasn't a dull person, and then, without him having to explain it anymore, she figured it out.

Everyone makes a wish on the laurel tree, which is nothing, but if one day they find a red rope with a copper coin tied to the tree, they will take it for granted that it will be more effective to make a wish in this way.

As a result, people invariably hung red ropes on the trees, and even hung more copper coins than others out of the psychology of comparison and wanting to realize their wishes faster.

Gu Li looked at Yan Qing carefully and asked, "How long have you been in Nanyun Kingdom?" ”

"From the day I met you." He replied in a soft voice.

Gu Li was surprised, it turned out that the time he had been in Nanyun Country was as long as her.

But now, she is still at the stage where she will be able to communicate with the people here unhindered, and he is already familiar with the customs and habits of this place.

How perceptive, how meticulously observed, does this have to be to do this?

Gu Li was full of admiration for him in her heart.

What amazed her even more was that his grasp and control of people's hearts were so tight and leaky.

Even if she was silent, Yan Qing had already read her heart from the subtle changes in her expression.

He smiled lightly, but did not speak.

He has long been accustomed to it, and every place he goes to will first observe carefully, and know the people and things around him.

What's more, he still has more than 300 years of memory.

More than 300 years have passed, and the customs of Nanyun Country have not changed at all.

"Do you usually use this method to make money?" Gu Li raised her eyes and looked at him and asked.

Yan Qing lowered his eyes, smiled softly, and replied, "No." ”

Gu Li really wanted to ask, so what method did he use to make a living? However, when the words came to his lips, he did not speak.

"How much did you earn?" Yan Qing looked at her and asked, a soft gaze hitting her face.

She knew that he was asking for money from the laurel tree.

"It's a lot, but I only took 300 wen to buy books, and I can't use any more." Gu Li raised her eyebrows and responded with a smile.

"Hmm." Yan Qing echoed softly, nodded, and still looked at her with a smile on his face.

Until late in the evening, they went to sleep.

The spring night was quiet and silent, except for the occasional sound of the wind blowing the leaves, rustling outside the window. Gu Li hadn't fallen asleep yet, she was still excited in her heart, thinking that Ming'er would go to the bookstore early in the morning and buy the books.

With this in mind, she got up early the next morning.

Dressed and getting up, through the open window, she saw Yan Qingzheng standing in the courtyard.

At this time, the sky was just bright, his slender figure stood in the faint light and shadow of the early morning, white clothes and black hair, fluttering, and the surrounding scene was also beautiful like a fairyland.

Gu Li pushed open the door and was about to go out, but at this moment, she found that the person who was still standing in the courtyard just now suddenly disappeared.

Her eyes widened, she blinked vigorously, and ran out to look again, but still didn't see him again.

She searched every corner of the house, but there was no trace of him anywhere.

How could he be a good person, like a gust of wind and a beam of light, suddenly disappeared?

Gu Li was puzzled, and remembered the scene when she saw him on the first night. At that time, he was like this time, and suddenly disappeared in front of her eyes. At that time, she only thought that she was dazzled, and didn't think much about it. But now, she can't help but think about it too much.

Who the hell is he? Or, is it really some non-human?

Is it an immortal? Or something else?

Because of this, Gu Li was so preoccupied all day that she didn't even bother to read the newly bought books. In the evening, I finished work and hurried home.

It was still early, the moon had just come out, and he hadn't come back yet. Gu Li sat on the bluestone platform in the courtyard, waiting for him to come back.

Her doubts, she wanted to figure out tonight.

When the moon was in the treetops, Yan Qing came back on time.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Li sitting in the courtyard, so he smiled at her and said, "The night is more dewy, how can you sit here?" Beware of catching a cold. ”

His voice was as gentle as a warm wind, as if it could blow away the dark clouds in people's hearts in an instant.

As he spoke, Yan Qing walked over to Gu Li and handed her an oiled paper bag in his hand.

He looked at her with a smile on his face and waited for her to pick it up.

"It's a gift from a friend, let's eat it quickly." He said.

Gu Li glanced down and saw that what was in the oil paper bag was a white sugar cake.

But she didn't pick him up, but asked him tentatively, "You got up early this morning?" ”

Yan Qing's face was calm, and he nodded slightly, as if he was saying the most ordinary thing: "Well, I made an appointment with my friends and went fishing in the green bamboo forest outside the city." ”

Gu Li looked away from his face, lowered his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I saw you when I got up in the morning, but you suddenly disappeared again." ”

She looked up at him again, her eyes full of doubt and surprise, and a hint of vigilance.

If he really had something abnormal, he would have understood what she said.
