"Pour me a glass of water."

"Oh, good."

I poured a glass of water and brought it over, and my master's lips were slightly dry and white, like a paper figure cut out of a piece of tissue paper.

I took the cup, twisted the towel and wiped my face. He exerted too much force, and his face showed a faint color of blood, and he looked as if he was in good spirits.

"Why are you here?" He glanced out the window: "How long have I been asleep?" ”

"It didn't take long."

Shi Gong didn't speak, he leaned against the head of the bed, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don't know what he's thinking.

His eyebrows were stretched and elegant, as if they had been painted. The eyelashes are thick and long, and because of the fair complexion, they appear darker. Also, his lips are not as thin as usual, and his lower lip has a little moist shine.

I sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at him, and then quickly looked away.

Shigong's room is so simple that it makes people feel slightly sad. There was not a single superfluous thing in his room, and the most ordinary cyan summer silk cloth and tent hung on the bed, which should have been changed long ago after the season, but it was delayed because of various things.

I took my clothes and put them on my master, and he gathered them, looked at me, and squinted again.

Before dawn came, there was a moment before dawn, the darkest and coldest time.

I winced slightly, hugging my arms.

Shigong opened his eyes and said lightly: "There are still clothes in the cabinet, don't freeze in vain." ”

I opened the cabinet and took out a robe and put it on my shoulder. Shigong's robe was long and wide for me, draped on, and dragged to the ground at the back.

But my heart felt peace and joy.

I didn't know that wearing other people's clothes could make me feel so sure.

I feel safe, and this dress seems to be ...... It was like an embrace, wrapping me tightly and gently.

The robes are old. It seems that it has been some years, and it should always be worn very carefully, otherwise I am afraid that it will be broken and thrown away. The material of this robe is very good, and the needlework and thread are also fine, and the person who made this robe must have put his heart into it. There was a thread at the edge of the border, and I twisted it casually, and then I was stunned.

This stitch ...... It feels familiar to the touch.

I tussled my robe and flipped my sleeves seemingly casually.

This...... It's my own needlework.

Did I really do it? But why does Shigong have such a dress here?

"It's time for Master to change his clothes, right? It's getting cold, too, and it's time to put on a jacket......" I said, reaching out and rummaging through the drawer in the cupboard.

There is no side. Just this one piece.

What a coincidence, I just pulled this one out of my hand.

Shigong sighed softly behind him.

I could feel his gaze on me. It's a mystical feeling that is indescribable.

I turned my head, cautious, a little uneasy, and tentative.

Shigong looked at me. Looking at my clothes, to be exact.

The usual coldness and indifference in his expression was gone, and his gaze seemed both gentle and sad, and the kind of lingering and lingering meaning was not like looking at a piece of clothing. And it's like looking...... Beloved.

I stood there with a voice in my heart, desperate for something.

I couldn't move. It's as if someone used the immobilization to hold it.

The chest screamed and almost burst, but the outer shell was solid, firmly locking everything in.

"This garment...... It was a gift from an old man. ”

I didn't dare to look him in the eye, but I was reluctant not to look at him.

The light in his eyes—like the sun on a lake on a summer day, was shining. It's soft, rippling between the waves. Flickering.

"Actually, the clothes were not made for me, but I was injured and my clothes were torn. So she found a new piece of clothing that no one had worn to replace me. Later, he recovered from his injuries...... I've kept it to this day......"

The past is like a slowly flowing river, spreading and flowing towards me.

The part of my memory that had been lost slowly revealed at this time, filling the gap that I couldn't let go.

Yes, I've always felt that the stories I heard were too incomplete to recall myself.

Vaguely, I know that there should be one less person in the story.

An extremely important and irreplaceable person in my life.

"Is the man who gave the clothes gone?"

Shigong was silent for a moment, and slowly sighed: "Yes, it's been many years since I passed away." ”

The fog that had been bothering me gradually faded, and someone walked towards me from a distance, the fog became lighter and lighter, and the person's face became clearer and clearer.

The person who stands on the other side of the mist is not a stranger.

It is this master of mine, Ji Yu

"Master, is that Wu Ning?"

Shigong didn't deny it, he just said: "You're right, it's her." ”

"Isn't she a wicked person?"

"Yes, that's what the world says about her. I sometimes wonder why, when I see her, I can't remember the things she did, but only remember how good she was. Perhaps this is because of her high skills, and the illusion master has reached the point where she can control people's hearts. Suddenly he said, "Give me the wine from the shelf." ”

"No way!" I refused, without accommodating: "If you are thirsty, I will pour you tea." ”

Shigong shook his head lightly: "Alas, apprentices and grandchildren are all learned to be able, and as soon as their wings are stiffened, they don't listen to the ...... of their elders."

"What's the matter, you are so badly injured, how can you be thirsty for wine? Otherwise, I'll redeem some ......."

Shi Gong suddenly laughed, not a sneering and mocking smile, I saw for the first time, Shi Gong actually had a dimple when he laughed, on the left, looming, it actually looked very playful and innocent.

I was stunned for a while before I suddenly realized that my master was actually joking?

I subconsciously wanted to look back out the window – is the sun going to rise in the west today?

"Is Mr. Wu here too?"

The subject turned quickly and steeply, and I nodded: "Yes, he lives in the east." ”

"How do you recognize your father-in-law, tell me about it in detail."

Well, you're waiting for me here.

I knew that my master had to ask-

No excuse, I just know.

In this life, all these years...... Maybe we're two of the closest people.

Than and Qi Jing Qi Han, than and Aunt ...... Closer than anyone else.

He taught me many things and took me through many places. We used to eat the famous dishes of Fanbang together in the most expensive gold cave in the south of the Yangtze River, and we also used to suffer from the cold together in the wilderness and broken temple. When the mountain road is steep, he will hold my hand. In the crowded market, he would also hold my hand.

Sometimes there is no need to speak, but two people think about things but think of one place.

It's a very strange relationship and feeling.

He is like an elder, a friend, a relative, an ...... (To be continued)
