Chapter 258: Snowy Night
The voice was soft, and it sounded ordinary on a still, snowy night.
There are many pine trees on the side of the meditation room of Lingyan Temple, which are still verdant in the depths of winter, and from time to time there is the sound of snow-covered branches being crushed, and the snow is falling in a hurry.
But hearing the sound of snow falling outside the window, Zhu Luan was silent for a long time.
She put the Buddhist scriptures on the bed, glanced at Princess Jinyang, who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and walked to the window on the side.
The meditation room where Princess Jinyang lives now looks the same as before, but it is actually not the one where the two first met.
The middle room where I lived before had been heavily damaged in the turmoil that night, and even the walls were split by Duan Lizheng, and now I live in the one to the east.
In the east room, there is only a wall between the window on the right and the deep mountain outside the temple.
Zhu Luan walked to the window on the east side, pulled out the wooden bolt, and opened the window.
The wind and snow poured in, and it was a little cold.
But because of physical problems, Zhu Luan is actually not very afraid of the cold, so she only stood by the window in a small blue jacket skirt.
Although the night is dark, the lanterns hanging under the eaves reflect the crystal of snow, making the outside still look bright.
There is a large pine tree outside the window.
Zhu Luan raised his head, his gaze followed the trunk of the tree, looked at the canopy, and under the light of the snow, Zhu Luan saw a dark shadow crouching on the branch of the pine tree.
Mountain temple, snowy night, dark shadow.
If it was an ordinary boudoir girl, she would probably scream on the spot when she saw such a scene.
The man crouching in the canopy of the tree had obviously also thought of this problem, and the moment Zhu Luan saw him, the black figure on the tree moved, and immediately noticed her gaze.
Sensations are extremely sharp.
Zhu Luan's eyes flickered, and the black shadow actually jumped down from the canopy of the tree and swept to the ground in an instant.
The movement was so loud, but it didn't make any sound. Neither the palace maids nor the guards outside were alarmed.
The man in black held the trunk of the tree, made a silent gesture, and looked nervously at the woman on the other side of the window, and then he found that the woman on the other side of the window was standing quietly by the window with her hands on the edge of the window, without a trace of panic on her face.
This couldn't help but make his eyes widen in surprise.
The woman stood by the window with her hair loosely wrapped in her small jacket, and the snowflakes swept in with the wind and fell on her face, and the snowflakes melted, but she didn't seem to know the cold.
The man in black was stunned for a moment, remembered the purpose of his coming here, and settled his mind, he walked to the window, and saluted with his fists.
"May I ask if it's Miss Zhu Jiu?"
When the man in black looked at Zhu Luan, Zhu Luan was also looking at him. And when the man in black walked into the window, Zhu Luan realized that he was actually wearing a brown short, but he was too far away before, and when he saw a black shadow, he thought he was wearing black.
Looking at the brown-clothed young man covered with snow on his body, Zhu Luan nodded.
The young man breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that when he heard that his master asked him to go to the mountain temple at night, he was still worried about what would happen if he couldn't find the person the master was looking for, but he didn't expect that the person he was looking for found him by himself.
"Just go, her words are easy to find." The master was confused at what he said, and he finally understood why he said that.
The girl in front of him looked at him quietly.
"Visiting late at night, what are you doing?" Her voice was like ice and snow.
The brown-clothed young man's waist bent deeper, "My master invites you to see it." He whispered.
In the middle of winter, the snow flies, the night is quiet, and the weather is freezing.
At such a time, on such an occasion, in the face of a young lady of a family, such a vague invitation.
The girl was silent.
The boy felt like he couldn't lift his head.
After a long time, in the sound of falling snow, the young man's pleasant voice came from the young man's ears.
"Okay." She said.
He raised his head and blinked, and the emotion of surprise flashed across Furui Wubo's face.
And then what surprised him was still to come.
The girl's hands were propped up on the windowsill slightly, the cyan skirt unfolded in front of his eyes, the boy reflexively closed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that the girl in front of him was already sitting on the windowsill.
It was a scenery that the boy had never seen before, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Where to go?" Zhu Luan looked at the brown-clothed young man in front of him and asked.
"Oh, I'll take you there," the brown-clothed young man lowered his head, looked at the girl's feet in front of him with only brocade stockings, and hesitantly stretched out his hands, "If you don't mind......
The shoes that went out were taken outside by the palace maid to be roasted and dried, and she did not want to disturb them by going outside.
Although she is not afraid of the cold, it is obviously not comfortable to walk in socks in this cold and snowy place.
Zhu Luan stretched out his hand and shook the young man's hand, showing his trust.
The young man in brown took Zhu Luan off the windowsill, then changed to his back, tiptoed, and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
Zhu Luan's ears heard the sound of the whistling wind, the snowflakes were falling all over the sky, the mountains and forests in the middle of the night were silent, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the trees.
As the boy ran and jumped steadily, the boy took her to a trail branched out in the mountain forest, the path was almost buried by snow, and the green lights were hung on the pine branches on both sides at intervals, and the lights were faint, illuminating a path that was dyed white by snow, and the shadows of the trees swayed in the wind in the dark night, and the snow fluttered and fell with great noise.
In the shadowy lights and snow, a pavilion hidden in the depths of the mountain forest is revealed.
The brown-clothed young man carried Zhu Luan on his back and walked along the path of the swaying lights until he walked to the pavilion deep in the pine forest.
In the pavilion sat a man with a pot of wine on a small red clay stove on the table.
The young man in brown carried Zhu Luan up the stairs on his back.
The man looked at the two of them in the pavilion, his eyes passed through the young man's shoulder, and stayed on Zhu Luan's face, his eyes were gloomy, and the lights under the eaves of the pavilion reflected his warm and jade-like face, and at a glance it looked like a fairy in a snowy night.
If it weren't for that person, it would be a beautiful scene.
The brown-clothed young man walked up with Zhu Luan on his back and carefully placed her on the stone bench opposite the man, Zhu Luan unceremoniously turned around and sat down, reached out and picked up the wine jug on the small tandoor, poured it into the cup on the table, and handed it to the brown-clothed boy.
"Hard work," she said.
The brown-clad boy glanced at the man at the table
"Since it's for you, A-Yuan, you can go down and drink." The man said.
The brown-clothed young man thanked him, held his wine glass, and disappeared outside the pavilion.
There were only two people left in the pavilion, Zhu Luan and this man.
"I thought you weren't coming." The man looked at Zhu Luan and said.
"Why don't I come, and let that kid freeze overnight in the tree outside the house?" Zhu Luan said calmly, "It will cause me to be unable to sleep all night." ”
Then she looked up and stared into the man's eyes calling out his name.
"Duan Haochu."
