Chapter Seventy-Three: No More Loneliness
Yingning has been talking to Yejun for a long time, and Ah Cha also seems to be very interested in Yejun. Ah Cha sat idly, leaning against the trunk of a tree, twisting a leaf on her fingers. Ying Ning wondered in her heart, this tree obviously has no leaves, why are there so many fallen leaves under this tree?
Ah Cha rubbed the leaves back and forth, almost rubbing out the sparks. Yingning asked, "Where did this leaf come from?" ”
Ah Cha finally stopped his fingers, turned the leaf over and over again a few times, and said quietly: "This tree is called the meditation tree, and it turns out that it also has leaves." Thousands of years ago, for some special reason, the leaves were lost. Since then, it has become this bizarre appearance, and no matter what method is used, it can never be restored to the past. ”
Ying Ning also picked up one and observed it carefully: "These leaves can't fall at that time, right?" But why, like it just fell, won't it rot after all these years? ”
Ah Cha laughed a few times, and casually threw the leaf in his hand into the air, and the leaf rolled a few times before it disappeared. He patted the dirt on his hands and said, "I call it to have it, and I call it to have nothing." ”
Ying Ning exclaimed, "Is your spell so powerful? I don't know this, I think when I was in the Xuannu Palace, the broken flowers were raised in the room, and they withered early. If I had the ability of yours, wouldn't the flowers bloom forever? ”
"It's just some spells that don't really go into the flow, and there's nothing. If you want to learn, I'll teach you another day. Ah Cha said slowly.
"That's good, you're not going to lie to me, are you?" Ying Ning looked at him and asked seriously.
Ah Cha smiled slightly and said kindly: "How come?" You don't trust me like I did. ”
As soon as Ah Cha finished speaking, Ying Ning said, "Of course you lied to me." ”
"Oh? Where did I lie to you, let's hear it. They had only met twice, and he didn't think he had lied to her somewhere.
Ying Ning began to complain: "You told me last time that the witch spirit bird is familiar with astronomy and geography, and you have given it to me very generously. ”
Ah Cha's eyes had a warm light, he looked at Ying Ning and asked, "I did say it, but this is the truth, how can it be called a lie to you?" ”
"I told me that the witch bird knows astronomy and geography, and it is just some legend without a word. How can it be so amazing as you say, so that I still have to find bugs for it everywhere, and wait for it day and night. I've never done this to myself, and as a result, I've grown up a big fat bird, and I don't know anything. I know how to eat, drink, and sleep all day long, and now I have become a human being, and I still don't understand anything, and I still have to take care of it with all my heart. You are obviously cheating on me, and you also think that it is too difficult to raise two, so you found me such a fool and hurriedly got rid of it. ”
Yingning's accusation of blood and tears drew a burst of laughter from Ah Cha. He laughed so heartily that his whole body trembled. He finally finished laughing, his expression regained his indifference, and he spoke softly: "That witch spirit bird was not like this before, probably because you have to spoil it, it will be like that...... It's as simple as that. "Ah Cha actually wants to say it, so stupid. The witch spirit bird he raised is not like this, it is smart and clever, and in a little while, it will be able to take charge of it for him. Sure enough, what kind of owner you have, what kind of bird you can raise.
If it had been changed a few days ago, she might have returned it to Ah Cha. It's just that Ling'er is an adult, and it can be regarded as a favor for her, although it was finally debunked by me. After all, after getting along for so long, she and Ling'er still have some feelings.
After sitting for a long time, Ah Cha closed his eyes and recuperated. Ying Ning thought he was asleep, and her fingers shook in front of his eyes. Ah Cha suddenly spoke: "If you feel annoyed, go back by yourself." You want to see me, it's still the old days, I'm waiting for you here. ”
Ying Ning also felt that the hour was not early, so she got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, Ah Cha said behind her back: "That friend of yours, I think it's very good to hear you say, bring him over when you have time, and we can get to know him." ”
Ying Ning turned around and said with a smile: "I'm naturally fine, it's just ......" She hesitated, Ah Cha frowned and asked, "Just what?" ”
Ying Ning replied: "It's just that I don't allow him to come to the underworld, because he took me to the mortal world without permission, and I am very angry. You are not as high as my grade, and this matter cannot be done. ”
Ah Cha hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said very confidently: "You just have to bring him here, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
"Won't I be angry? It's still scary for him to get angry, and I don't want to be punished anymore. Ying Ning remembered that she had been locked up for a month, and she still had palpitations, after all, it was really a cruel punishment for people like her who had no freedom and would rather die.
"Don't worry, I won't let you be punished." Ah Cha looked completely determined, Ying Ning looked at him suspiciously, and asked suspiciously, "Are you really just an ordinary ghost?" Why do you think you have so much confidence in speaking? ”
The doubts in Yingning's heart are getting bigger and bigger, Ah Cha speaks loudly, even the ghost king is not afraid, and when he gets along with him, he also feels that he has seen a lot and has an elegant temperament. There is only one person who is so outstanding in the underworld. It's just that this is just a speculation in Yingning's heart, and it can't be done accurately, maybe Ah Cha's popularity is good, and I don't know if I'm willing to give him some face.
Yingning finally agreed and said goodbye to Ah Cha again. After walking a short distance, I saw Zhong Wuqi holding his arms and leaning against a wall.
Ying Ning happily ran towards him, stretched out her hand and grabbed his sleeve, and asked, "When did you come back?" You have a job every day, what do you do? Can you take me with you, I'm really bored staying here. ”
Wu Qi glanced down at her fingers, clutching the corner of the sleeve of his robe, when he had begun to get used to it, she unconsciously grabbed the fault of his sleeve. I used to feel inappropriate, but now I feel very relieved.
"Where have you been?" Zhong Wuqi didn't answer her words, but asked rhetorically.
"Oh, I'm going to that big and weird tree, and Ah Cha says it's called the Meditation Tree. There are only branches, no flowers and no leaves, which is very strange. Ying Ning raised her chin and looked into his beautiful eyes and said.
I looked at her dancing and describing the tree, her expression was rich, her eyes were smart, and her mood was unconsciously light. He stretched out his hand and brushed her hair from her forehead, and asked softly, "Who can you see?" ”
"It's Ah Cha, he's also very strange, and the tone of his voice feels that his grade is not low, but he says he's just an ordinary ghost. You've managed so many ghosts, but do you know who he is? Ying Ning felt as if he had asked me this question, and his answer was vague.
Zhong Wuqi pondered for a moment, not knowing why Shen Di refused to tell Ying Ning his true identity. Naturally, he couldn't talk much, so he had to reply: "I don't know very well, but I'm not a bad person." ”
Ying Ning nodded and said, "I can also see that I get along with him quite happily, and he also gave me a witch spirit bird." Although I always felt that his purpose in sending me the bird was not simple, he was probably afraid that Ling'er's fight would fall into his hands, so I accepted it in a daze. ”
Ying Ning has been hesitating whether to tell Wu Qi about Ah Cha's desire to see Yejun. It's just that when she was in the brothel, she vaguely felt that I didn't deal with Yejun very well, and when she was punished at the beginning, she also made it clear that Yejun was not allowed to come to the underworld again. Now that Ah Cha said that she had another way, she wouldn't talk much, so as not to cause something wrong.
I want to send Yingning back to the room, she is very happy, such a quiet time alone is not very common. Soon arrived at the door of the room, Yingning only felt that time passed too quickly and the distance was too short.
Ying Ning opened the door and stood at the door with her fingers twisted and refused to enter. I wanted to say something, but I suddenly felt shy. Wu Qi looked at her delicate appearance, sighed and asked, "I used to smell a strange and beautiful incense when I came to your room, but what incense did you burn in your room?" ”
Yingning's eyes lit up, and he had an excuse to stay. She grabbed him by the sleeve and pulled him into the room. I took out a white porcelain jar from the box of the dresser, and opened it for me to see.
She scooped out a little incense powder with a small spoon and brought it to the tip of my nose. I sniffed lightly, and a light floral fragrance came to my nose. It was the one he smelled every time he came over, probably smoked for a long time, and Yingning's body always had a vague fragrance, which made people intoxicated.
"This incense is called Drunken Flowers, and it is made by grinding many petals. This incense is only used by me, I will give you some, and only you and I will use it in this world. Ying Ning squinted her eyes and smiled, thinking that this fragrance would belong to the two of them in the future, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
I thought about it, smiled and said, "It's good if you give it up." Drunken Flower is such a good name, I didn't know you still had such a craft. ”
"I didn't know it before, this incense was taught by the Night Monarch how to concoct." Ying Ning said casually.
Perhaps when he heard the name of the Night Monarch, his face sank instantly, and the small spoon he was holding in his hand was thrown into the porcelain jar. Ying Ning saw that his face was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "It is indeed Yejun who taught me the ability to mix incense, but this incense was modified by me, and I added more pear blossoms to it, and the taste is very different from Yejun's incense." Besides, he doesn't like incense, so don't be angry. ”
I looked at it for a while, and there was still a little unhappiness between my eyebrows. Ying Ning cautiously asked him, "Don't you like Yejun?" ”
I looked up at her and asked coldly, "What do you think?" "Of course he doesn't like Yejun, take her down to earth privately, and take her to that kind of place. looks like a warm jade, but there is a calculation when he looks at people, especially the charming green eyes, which are displeased, if he likes it, it will be strange.
Ying Ning sighed, touched his hand with weak and slender fingers, and said, "He is my friend, you like him a little bit for the sake of my face." Wu Qi's face was a little ugly, and Ying Ning reluctantly changed his words: "It doesn't matter if you don't like it, just don't be an enemy of him." ”
I held Yingning's hand, slender and white, soft as boneless. It was cool in the palm of his hand, as if he was holding a piece of white and flawless jade. When did he get his heart moved, when he caught her in the brothel, she raised her beautiful eyebrows and asked him, "Are you also here to find a girl?" Or he punished her for copying the rules a thousand times, she asked Ling'er to be a helper, and lied to him, and finally he broke it, but hugged his legs and cried. Or when she was drunk, nestled in his arms, biting and licking him, dreaming sweetly. It was probably earlier, when they met for the first time, she looked at him stupidly and asked coquettishly, "Is Childe looking for me?" ”
She was like the white moonlight in summer, and the gentle cool breeze broke into his heart unscrupulously, and from then on he felt that he was no longer so lonely.
