Chapter 8: Moonlit Nights Again

Xu Qingchen heard that Zhou Chong's leg was cured, and although he had been prepared, he still wanted to go over and see it with his own eyes, so he took Ah Cai back to the other courtyard overnight.

"Childe, it's not easy to walk at night, and the city gate will be closed at this moment, most of the time you can't get out of the city at this time."

Seeing Xu Qingchen packing up and preparing to leave the city, Ah Cai reminded him a little carefully.

Xu Qingchen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, he forgot that there was a curfew in the Ming Dynasty. I've been here for so long, and I still can't change my mindset from childhood to adulthood, which is not a good habit.

"In that case, Ah Cai, you will stay in the mansion and go back to the other courtyard by yourself early tomorrow morning."

"Yes! Son, you're now..."

"Me? Of course, I went to another courtyard and promised Ah Yu. ”

"But Childe, the city gate is closed, how can you get out of the city?"

"I have my own way, you go and rest, I'm tired from running here today, remember what I said." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house.

Twilight is four, and the lights are on. Even if it is as prosperous as Suzhou City, it has quieted down at this time.

In ancient times, people worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and most people guarded their one-third of an acre of land and lived a mediocre life, not depressed or rash, the so-called golden mean is probably like this, right?

Xu Qingchen slowly walked in the dark city streets, * thinking, enjoying the quiet and peace that could not be imagined in the modern city all the way, and when he looked up, he could see the brilliant galaxy flowing on the black crystal-like sky, such a grand scene made him suddenly want to find a place to stop and admire.

He was also a free and casual person, and he would do it when he thought of it. So he hastened his pace and walked towards the castle tower.

You ask him why he wants to go to the castle tower, because the tallest building in the city is there!

Easily bypassing the patrolling soldiers, Xu Qingchen sat on the city tower, looking up and admiring the vast universe and the brilliant galaxy, which was really comfortable. I think of my mother's previous lamentation that the modern man-made landscape is not as natural as one ten-thousandth of the ancient time, and future generations can only get a glimpse of it from some poems, calligraphy and paintings, which is embarrassing. Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, he understands his mother's regrets, which is also a gift from God.

He came back to his senses and immediately realized that there was one more person here now. If he didn't react immediately, it showed that there was no malice on the part of the visitor.

He turned his head to look, "East! "That red dress fluttering, who is not the undefeated East during the day. It has to be surprising to meet the same person twice in one day.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I be here when you can be here?" Dongfang's undefeated and slightly hoarse voice flowed in the wind.

"Hehe, of course not. Naturally, you can be wherever you want in the East. Xu Qingchen replied sincerely.

"Dongfang, the weather is just right tonight, can I ask you to look at the stars?" Seeing that Dongfang was undefeated and didn't speak anymore, Xu Qingchen no longer asked why he appeared here.

"Hmph, will you show me?" Dongfang Undefeated looked at him meaninglessly.

"Haha, it's time to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and please don't be surprised by the East." Having said that, it is not easy to care if the East is undefeated.

The two of them really sat quietly on the city tower, enjoying the beautiful scenery on the canopy, although they didn't talk to each other anymore, but the atmosphere was good.

Seeing the moon in the sky, the two of them have no intention of leaving, each immersed in their own thoughts, perhaps the distant and vast starry sky can give people infinite space for reverie, allowing people to freely roam in the world of ideas without any burden.

PS: The city gate is closed at night because night raids are a very important means of attack in ancient times, and at the same time, curfews were imposed in ancient times, and it was forbidden to go out. The effect of the city gate: it is a defensive building, and the city wall is connected between the city gate and the city tower, which has both military defense and urban flood control function, forming a solid barrier in the ancient city.
