A full moon hangs high in the sky, and the night breeze beats the leaves, accompanied by the sound of flowing water and cicadas. The bonfire burns violently in the wind, sweeping away the surrounding cold. Xi Ning and the others sat on the ground around the fire, listening to the other world in Xi Ning's mouth.

"What I miss the most is the computer, but also the car, the mobile phone, maybe you don't understand what it is, those things are like this knife in my hand, necessities. The car is like a horse-drawn carriage, it is a means of transportation, a mobile phone, each person will have a long number composed of numbers, you use the mobile phone to dial the number of the friend you want to call, and then you can hear the other party's voice and talk to him. Computers were a feature of the era, like a treasure chest! You keep turning it on and you'll find everything you're looking for. ”

Xi Ning stopped and glanced at everyone, saw their confused eyes, and lowered his head decadently.

"Ning'er, if you talk more carefully, maybe we understand." Ethan smiled and comforted her.

"In the age of technology, all the necessities of life are related to electricity, such as: refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, induction cookers, microwave ovens, water heaters...... There are a lot of them anyway. All right! It's getting more and more complicated, and I can't explain it clearly. However, it was a time when men and women were equal, there was no imperial rule, everyone was equal, and both men and women needed to go to work to earn money. Xi Ning saw through the firelight that their eyes were becoming more and more confused, and he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

"I'd love to see it!" Ethan looked at the trace of nostalgia in Xi Ning's eyes, knowing that the world she said really existed. I also believe that she would like to go back. hugged Xi Ning's shoulders and said gently, "Ning'er, if you have the opportunity to go to your world." You must bring us with you. ”

After Ethan finished speaking, the shadow quickly raised his head and glanced at Xi Ning. In Ethan's eyes, his little thoughts were almost naked/naked/naked, and only Xi Ning pretended not to know, and he tried his best to retreat and cover up, hiding his thoughts, and silently protecting his beloved.

"If you can go back. I'll be sure to show you there. Xi Ning said with a smile.

"I'm going too!" Miao Ren's voice suddenly appeared behind him, and it fell with the voice. The person was already sitting next to Xi Ning.

"I won't take you!" Xi Ning didn't even look at him, and said directly: "You can follow secretly, but I won't go back to find it if you lose it." ”

Ethan looked at Miao Ren with a smile and pouted aggrievedly. His eyes kept on Xi Ning. However, Xi Ning didn't look back for a long time, and deliberately buried his face in Ethan's arms. They had already discovered him along the way, but he didn't show up, and they didn't break it.

After a period of silence, Miao Ren couldn't hear Miao Ren's argument for a long time, and Xi Ning wondered in his heart, why didn't the little fox who had always talked a lot not argue. She stole a glance back, and sat up quickly as if the electricity had hit. Quickly wiped away the tears of Miao Ren, who was in tears.

"Haven't you always been very good? Why don't you fight today? ”

Miao Ren didn't speak, and tears fell silently. In fact, he cried more because he felt sorry for her. Today, he saw Xi Ning crying and leaving Yonghua Palace. Knowing that she was really sad, and hearing her talk about her world for the first time, he understood that the wounded heart always wanted to hide in the environment he knew best, just like a wounded fox would nest in its own cave to recuperate.

"Little fox, I was wrong! Don't cry. Good no good? Actually, I lied to you! How could it not take you! Such a handsome and wise little fox, how can I be willing to leave it? And. I know you're coming, so I'll stop here and wait for you. Xi Ning wiped his tears for him and comforted: "Don't cry, okay?" ”

"Xiao Xi will only bully me!" With a thick nasal voice, Miao Ren said with red eyes.

"Because you're the cutest of all!" Xi Ning smiled and kissed him on the cheek, and the sound of the chirp was so loud that the shadow was envious.

Seeing that Xi Ning finally smiled, Ethan's hanging heart was slightly better, and he had to admit that only Miao Ren could make Xi Ning smile so brightly. For others, Xi Ning's attitude is more like responsibility, but to Miao Ren is more like love. He didn't know if Xi Ning felt it himself, and several others might have the same idea, and their favor for Miao Ren was different from that of others, and it was closer to the natural reaction of his heart. It was only today that Ethan understood why he felt this way, whether it was Xiaojun or Dongfang Yue, or Baili Qianao, including himself, he was a love debt owed by Xi Ning before, only Miao Ren was simply kept in another courtyard as a pet, perhaps because of this, the man she chose to fall in love with was Miao Ren.

Ethan knew her better than Xi Ning herself, and even Xi Ning didn't figure out who she loved more.

For more than half a year, the shadow has been watching Xi Ning in the dark, so he understands that only Miao Ren can dispel the shadow in her heart, and seeing her expression when she talks about her hometown, it feels like she will leave without hesitation in the next moment. Now seeing her gently comforting Miao Ren, he thought to himself that maybe she wouldn't disappear so decisively for the sake of Miao Guifu.

Weilong and Weihu don't understand the status quo at all, they don't understand love, so they can't understand their hearts.

For the next three months, they were all on the road, and the more they rode on horseback, the more Xi Ning missed cars and planes. Sometimes she can't make it to the city in time, and she sleeps outside the wind, and she misses the sleeper on the train even more.

Xi Ning kept trying to summon Phantom Xu, but Phantom Xu seemed to disappear, and there was no movement. She remembered that Phantom Xu had the ability to travel through time, and she might not be able to wear it back, so it would be good to go back and look at her family.

Lying on the bed in the inn, Xi Ning stretched her legs and feet as much as possible, she really couldn't hurry anymore, her waist was about to herniate her disc, this horse was riding enough, she said today that she wouldn't leave anything, she wanted to rest.

"Ning'er, why don't we buy a carriage! The carriage was slow, but no one set us when we would arrive! Ethan sat on a chair and said to Xi Ning.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xi Ning raised his head and said to Ethan with a bitter face, and then lay back and lamented at the ceiling: "Why didn't I remember the carriage?" Why? ”

Miao Ren covered his mouth and snickered, his bewitching eyes narrowed into a slit.

"Little fox, you steal the fun! Pick you up at night. Xi Ning turned his head sideways and bluffed at Miao Ren.

"Uh-huh! I'm waiting for you at night! Miao Ren got up quickly, turned around and walked out the door.

Xi Ning sat up in astonishment and stared at the door where Miao Ren had disappeared. Ethan looked at Xi Ning's confused expression and laughed, and finally understood why only Miao Ren could cure her.

Seeing Ethan's exaggerated smiling face and listening to his hearty laughter, Xi Ning shook his head helplessly, and said in his heart: I can't live because of my own sin! Oh, my old waist, I'm going to be tired again.

After dinner, Miao Ren went back to the room, and Xi Ning, Ethan and the others left the inn and walked around the town. This place is very close to the River of Exile, and it will be more than a month and a half away. I bought a horse-drawn carriage in town, and bought some things for the road, as well as some desserts and dried fruits. Back at the inn again, it was late.

"Ning'er, don't forget, a certain one is still waiting for you!" Ethan reminded before entering the room. Xi Ning was stunned at the door, watching Ethan's back disappear behind the door.

She shook her head, and reluctantly went downstairs to ask for two buckets of hot water, one for Ethan's room and one for her own room.

Sitting in the warm water, Xi Ning smiled at the corner of his mouth, imagining Miao Ren lying on the bed and waiting, and waited back at the house after dinner in the evening, I don't know if he had fallen asleep. She quickly washed up, put on a dress, and hurried to the next room.

An oil lamp swayed on the table, the man on the bed was lying sideways, his hands were hanging on the edge of the bed, the quilt was only covering his abdomen, his chest was gently rising and falling with his breathing, the jade-like man on the white sheets was sleeping soundly, looking at his pink lips, long and dense eyelashes, hanging nose bridge, and the sound of light breathing filled the room.

Xi Ning sat on the edge of the bed and watched for a long time, and couldn't bear to wake him up.

"Xiao Xi, people are so tired!" Miao Ren suddenly opened his eyes and said in an aggrieved voice.

This made Xi Ning laugh and felt that Miao Ren was really cute. She jumped on the bed and ran into the bed, tickling him with both hands. Miao Ren laughed and begged for mercy, and the sound spread to the next room.

Some people rejoice and some people worry. In an inn in the capital, the sound of breaking porcelain cups sounded in the No. 1 room of the Son of Heaven on the second floor, and then there was silence.

Inside the room, Yu Wen stared at the debris on the ground angrily, it had been several months, and she had searched all the corners of the palace, but there was nothing. And Yu Wu's serious injury has not healed so far, and the tracking Gu is also recovering, and now she is completely impatient. Yu Xin and Ling Yuzhen have been away for two months, saying that they are going to deal with the pursuit of the soul skeleton and let her sisters search for it in the capital. In the past few days, she wondered if there was no flame body in the capital at all.

"Sister, the flame body is indeed in the palace, last time I clearly sensed that Mo Yan's breath was in the palace." Yu Wu sat up from the bed and said to Yu Wen next to the table.

"Then why is the tail spirit not lit up, I have been to every palace, including the rooms of the female officials and attendants in the palace. If the flame body is there, the tail spirit will definitely light up. Yu Wen took out a transparent jade bottle from his arms, and there was a black object the size of a bean in it.

"Will the flame body leave? Mo Yan will let the flame body leave, he must have sensed my tracking, yes! It's very likely! ”

"That's two months ago, and at that time......" Yu Wen's eyes suddenly turned fierce, glaring at a certain place.

"You mean, Yu Xin and the others already knew where the flame body was, and she deliberately left us to wait in the capital?" Yu Wu's hands holding the bed gradually clenched, he didn't expect that after so many years of birth and death, when it was time to betray, he would be merciless!

"If that's the case, I, Yu Wen, am not so calculating, I want to use it and keep it, and don't need to abandon it. Sure enough, it's the style of the heart. After Yu Wen finished speaking, he smashed his fist on the table, and after the desktop crackled, it shattered to the ground. (To be continued)
