At that time, when Xiao Qingqiu saw the poor little chick in the snow, he subconsciously felt that maybe it was abandoned like himself.

Perhaps out of sympathy, she crouched down and held the frozen softness in her arms.

A miracle, perhaps.

When Xiao Qingqiu put it in his arms and warmed it for a while, there was a slight undulation on the fluff of the little chick.

Although it didn't wake up, it gave her hope.

On that day, Xiao Qingqiu put the little chick in her body to warm it for a long time, although the chance that it would survive was very small, but she still had to give it a try.

Early in the morning, Xiao Qingqiu woke up and saw a pair of black eyes looking at her.

The little skyfinch is still a little weak, but in the end it is alive.

Since then, Xiao Qingqiu has had friends.

They used to run together on the grass and watch the white clouds in the southern sky together. At that time, Xiao Qingqiu was lying in the grass, hovering in the sky above her head.

It stayed with her for a while, but it didn't survive the winter.

That day.

Xiao Qingqiu broke free from the realm of life and death, and when she woke up, she found that the injuries on her body had recovered, and that person had saved her again.

But when she returned to her little bamboo hut, it seemed that someone had come in, and many things had been overturned to the ground, and on the ground were the corpses of the Sparrows.

Xiao Qingqiu didn't know what was going on, and at that moment she was at a loss in her heart.

……

At this time, a figure appeared at the gate of the small courtyard.

The man came, but did not enter, and stood still for a long time.

Sheng Canglan looked at this scene calmly.

The quiet girl who never shed a single tear in the face of life and death that day is now crying so much that her heart and intestines are broken. She was so hard, as if she was going to cry all her internal organs to the ground.

He had never seen such a powerful cry.

Then I saw the dirt in her hands, and the magpie that had been dead for a long time.

Sheng Canglan was silent for her, and suddenly thought in her heart that this seemed to be the third time she had seen her.

The first time they met, she was innocently held hostage by Sang Yao, and the second time she was covered in soul-binding grass and brushed shoulders with death. The third time he was in this courtyard, bidding farewell to his spirit beast friend.

It seems that three times is not a good thing.

This little girl doesn't seem to be very lucky.

Most of the children Sheng Canglan comes into contact with on weekdays are born in sectarian families and grow up under the protection of the family.

Most girls of her age are treasures who are held on the tip of their hearts, but few are displaced and suffering like her.

Sheng Canglan walked over slowly and stood behind her.

Xiao Qingqiu seemed to be immersed in his emotions and did not notice his arrival.

He reached out and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly.

Xiao Qingqiu turned around in surprise and found the person who had saved him several times.

She was amazed and couldn't understand why he was here.

Sheng Canglan looked at her thin and trembling body, and sighed lightly in his heart.

Without the slightest distraction, he gently hugged the other party and patted her on the back, trying to give her a little strength.

Xiao Qingqiu was a little stunned.

It was a good smell, just like the gentle and delicate person in front of him.

He was also very gentle when he hugged himself, as if he were treating something very precious.

She had never been treated like this before, so much so that she forgot about the reaction.

Xiao Qingqiu rubbed her tears onto the man's luxurious robe, she didn't know what it was, but when she touched it, she felt like she had touched a cloud. She looked up a little frightened, only to find the other person smiling kindly at her.

Winter is coming, and maybe spring is not far away.

Sheng Canglan saw that her mood was calm, squatted down, looked into Xiao Qingqiu's eyes, and asked softly, "Little girl, are you willing to leave here and follow me to another place?" From now on, you won't be displaced again, you won't have to worry about eating your last meal, and no one will bully you again. ”

"I'm going to protect you, protect you, and don't let you get hurt again."

After saying that, Sheng Canglan raised his eyes to look at her, as if waiting for her answer.

"I ......" Xiao Qingqiu's throat was a little dry, and she seemed a little overwhelmed.

She nodded vigorously, firmly.

Sheng Canglan chuckled.

At that moment, in Xiao Qingqiu's eyes, the world was still, and even the sound of the wind stopped.

"I live in Canglan Hall now, a place that is a little far from here, and I will ...... in the future" Sheng Canglan thought for a while and said, "You can be my apprentice, and I will also teach you some exercises." ”

"Okay." Xiao Qingqiu replied softly.

"Do you remember my name?" Sheng Canglan asked.

Xiao Qingqiu nodded and shook her head again. She had heard Sang Yao call him by his first name, but she didn't know which word it was.

"My name is Sheng Canglan, the prosperous Sheng, the Cang of a drop in the ocean, the magnificent Lan, can you remember?"

"Remembered." Xiao Qingqiu nodded obediently.

"And what is your name, little girl?" Sheng Canglan tried to soften his tone as much as possible.

"Chi Qingqiu."

Xiao Qingqiu didn't know how to describe it, so he had to use a branch on the ground to write his name one by one.

"I also made a note of it, and you can call me Master in the future."

"Hmm."

……

This winter, Sheng Canglan and Xiao Qingqiu buried the magpie together.

Xiao Qingqiu watched his friend being covered in mud, and suddenly had a strange feeling.

It will turn into dirt and disappear from this world.

She was immersed in her own thoughts, and she heard Sheng Canglan speak: "In fact, every life that passes will turn into a star in the night to protect the people it loved before its death......"

Xiao Qingqiu: "......"

She thought to herself: she is not a child anymore, so she will not believe this.

But perhaps because he was rarely comforted, he felt the clumsy tenderness of others for a while, and Xiao Qingqiu, who had been a little sensitive since he was a child, was emotionally surging again, and tears came out of his eyes again.

Sheng Canglan looked at the red-eyed girl in front of him, a little overwhelmed, he had always had little experience in comforting girls.

He thought for a moment and said, "Next spring, we can come here and plant the tung trees all over the mountains together." ”

The canthus tree is a very spiritual tree, and the spirit bird inhabits it, which is beneficial to cultivation.

Xiao Qingqiu's Chaotian magpie loved the cantonia tree the most during his lifetime, and every time he encountered it, he would chirp and hover in it for a long time.

"But now it's rare to see a paulownia tree, let alone its saplings." She suddenly thought of something, and said with some pity.

"I have a way." Sheng Canglan replied.

Xiao Qingqiu didn't realize at that time that her fate had changed. Things that used to be out of reach will gradually become readily available.

She looked at Sheng Canglan at that time, and only felt that there was a convincing power in his eyes, and she believed him for no reason.

"I'll come with you then." Sheng Canglan said very seriously.

Xiao Qingqiu thought, in fact, you don't have to comfort me so much, you don't have to be so good to me, you don't have to be so gentle.

She rubbed her eyes.

In the unprecedented touch, he said seriously:

"Thank you, Master."
