"You know everything." Snow River muttered quietly.

"You."

Shu Hai took out a wooden comb from the drawer, pulled her long hair in the palm of her hand and gently straightened it: "You always want everything to go according to your wishes. For example, Qin Bai's cowardice, you just thought you could eat him, because of his weak temperament, you can pinch as much as you want; However, you now find that he is out of your control, so you are timid and want to give up. ”

"Not really."

Xue He said: "He is obviously half-hearted and ignorant of his behavior!" You don't have to say it so nicely. ”

"Emotional matters are not always decided by one person."

Shu Hai completely ignored her rebuttal, and continued: "You just listen to too many fairy tales, so you are particularly obsessed with a happy ending." However, the world is impermanent, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, and not all people who love each other can start from the beginning. This kind of thing as a happy ending is indeed a test of luck and wisdom, so don't be too obsessed with it, just follow the fate. ”

Shu Hai combed the unkempt silver hair to the slightest, and then handed the wooden comb back to her: "I just provide you with a reference, you decide how to choose." ”

Xue He's face was still full of sadness, pressed the wooden comb, raised his face and asked, "I just want a happy ending, is it wrong?" ”

Shu Hai did not answer directly, but walked to the window and pushed open the half-hidden lattice window, and a unique earthy smell after the rain mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees in the mountains and forests came to his face.

The terrain of the Star Palace is very high, and you can overlook the whole mountain behind Wuzhu Mountain from the window. The verdant mountains are undulating, and in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain, the spring on the top of the mountain meanders down into a stream, and several girls from southern Xinjiang carry buckets and sing happy mountain songs while walking on the path back to the village.

The song is simple and beautiful, but Xuehe doesn't know the local dialect very well, and he doesn't know what the lyrics mean. Shu Hai must have understood, he looked at their figures gradually moving away with some distraction, and a shallow smile appeared on his lips:

"Let me tell you a story about my past with Ah Hua."

At that time, the room where Shu Hai lived on the fairy mountain also had a window facing the cliff of the back mountain, but the scenery was very different.

Every morning, when you open the window, the window is like a freehand ink painting, the sea of clouds is churning, the fairy mist is shrouded, and the green mountains on the opposite side can only reveal a sharp corner, like a lonely boat traveling in the sea.

Burning a furnace of incense, Shu Hai sat down in front of the piano. He was grounded by his master and couldn't go out, so the morning class started with a song. However, as soon as the ten fingers stopped on the string, they heard a stone hit the window lattice, making a small sound.

Shu Hai turned around, empty. Outside the window is a bottomless abyss, how can there be anyone. He smiled self-deprecatingly, and his gaze returned to the piano.

However, the lattice was hit again, and this time, a pine cone fell on the desk and rolled in front of him.

Shu Hai picked it up, got up and went to the window, and looked out blankly.

"Hey, little Taoist! Good morning! ”

Looking down, Zanghua grasped the vine with both hands, and stepped barefoot on the branches of the pine trees growing in the rock crevices, looking crumbling and dangerous.

"Ah Hua!"

Shu Hai was shocked, there was a vast sea of clouds under her feet, and this southern Xinjiang woman didn't know how to soar clouds, and she would be crushed if she fell.

"Hehe, it's really not easy to see you!"

Zanghua wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, and when she smiled, she showed two rows of white teeth.

The tree was still some distance from the window, and he could not reach it for a while, so he dropped the phrase, 'Wait, don't move,' and turned and went into the house, looked left and right, lifted the sheet from the meditation bed, pulled it into a long strip, tied a dead knot, and in a short time made a rope.

"Hold on to the rope! I'll pull you up! ”

Shukai threw the rope to her, and Zanghua reached out to grab it and climbed smoothly into his window.

"I can't see it, you're a pretty smart little Taoist."

Zanghua looked at the strip of cloth full of knots, couldn't help but praise it, and then took out the embroidered shoes from his waist and sat on his stool to put them on.

Shu Hai was frightened by her, and his palms were full of cold sweat.

"You're worried about me?"

She tilted her head and smiled playfully, staring at his face.

"You're going to fall to your death!" Shu Hai said angrily.

She shrugged disapprovingly: "What is this? In our place, seventy or eighty-year-old women climb trees faster than monkeys! At this point of difficulty, it's not a lot of effort at all! ”

Oh, the picture of the old lady climbing the window is a bit spicy, and Shu Haiguang feels weird when he thinks about it.

"Don't call me a little Taoist priest in the future, I have a name, my name is Shu Hai."

"Oh, Shuhai."

She repeated, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes: "Nice! I remembered. ”

At this time, there was a noise outside the door, Shu Hai's heart suddenly tightened, and he was suddenly a little worried that he would be bumped into by someone, and he was afraid that he would not be able to explain it clearly. However, then I was relieved after a change of thought: the master had set up a seal on the door, and he couldn't get out, and outsiders couldn't get in.

Shizun originally just forbade him, thinking that this would allow the two to stop seeing each other, and probably didn't expect that the ghostly Ah Hua would be able to climb in through the window facing the cliff.

Listening to the movement outside, it seemed that the brothers and sisters were walking in the direction of the mountain gate, and in a few words, it seemed that they were talking about someone being injured.

In addition to the demon Ah Hua in front of him, the Southern Xinjiang Witch Gu Master who came to Xianshan to worship his ancestors had already left for his back a few days ago; Master is in retreat and practicing, and the mountain gate has been closed for outsiders, so I don't know what happened?

Shu Hai was full of doubts, but seeing that Zanghua was smiling weirdly, he frowned and asked, "Are you a troublemaker?" ”

Zanghua stuck out her tongue and deliberately pretended to look away innocently, but there was a smugness in her eyes that could not be concealed.

"Did you hurt someone?"

"He won't let me in! It's fierce. ”

Zanghua argued, and when he saw that he was unhappy, he lowered his eyes a little unreasonably.

"It's just not right for you to hurt someone. …… Was it poisoned? ”

Zanghua nodded reluctantly, reached out and tore open the neckline, only to see a small head poking out of the dark blue belly pocket, which turned out to be a small white snake with red eyes and a black core. Although it looks small and cute, it must also be highly poisonous.

Shu Hai's gaze stayed on her chest intentionally or unintentionally, and his cheeks suddenly burned red, and he turned his face to the side very unnaturally.

Seeing this, Zanghua smiled, took out a small bottle and deliberately shook it in front of him: "Antidote!" Want to either? ”

"Give it to me."

"Conditionally!"

Zanghua stepped forward and stared into his eyes: "Let me kiss you." ”

The corners of Shu Hai's mouth, who realized that he was being teased by her, twitched, and his whole face instantly turned red to the root of his ears, and he didn't promise or not.

Zanghua looked very happy to see him like this, and said with a smile:

"Otherwise, you can kiss me!"

Shu Hai's body stiffly took a step back: "Just, can't you change other conditions?" ”

Zanghua then took a step closer, for example, closer to the other: "No." ”

Master is right, this woman from southern Xinjiang is a goblin.

Zanghua smiled like a fox, leaned closer, close enough to feel her exhalation, and faintly smelled the rouge aroma on her lips: "What, do you think I'm a goblin?" ”

Be dumbfounded.

She flattened her mouth and took a step back with some disappointment:

"I still think you are different from other Central Plains people, it turns out that they are all the same."

Zanghua sighed and walked around the house with her hands behind her back.

The incense burner is full of smoke, there is a guqin on the desk, calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall, and there seems to be a moving freehand Danqing outside the window, but she is dressed in the exotic dress of a southern Xinjiang person, which seems incompatible with everything here.

"I have read several of your medical books in the Central Plains."

Zanghua said: "The Central Plains Medical Technique and the Southern Xinjiang Gu Technique were originally the same sect. Your medical canon also records cases of using fruit fly larvae to remove carrion from wounds, and methods of sucking away the poisonous blood of abscesses with leeches—these are actually the most primitive Gu techniques. The magic of witchcraft is not some evil way, but the way of controlling insects, but it has been demonized by those who are short-sighted and do not seek to understand. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed:

"I think that the reason why the Gu God left a testament at the beginning, that we must go to the Central Plains every hundred years to worship and priest the Father, is also to let the people of the Central Plains understand the Gu art of our southern Xinjiang, so as to reduce the world's misunderstanding of us. It's a pity that the patriarch never thought that the Central Plains people were so arrogant, just like a clay pot that had been filled with water, and could no longer hold more water. ”

Shu Hai originally thought that the land in southern Xinjiang was barbaric, and it was surprising that Zanghua could recognize his Yaoqin, and seeing that she not only knew the qin, but also was so knowledgeable, he couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself.

"That's it."

Zanghua shook her head and put the vial in her hand on the table: "This misunderstanding is deep-rooted, and it can't be resolved overnight, and I won't be difficult for you." ”

As he spoke, he held on to the window lattice with one hand, lifted his skirt and wanted to walk through the window.

"You wait."

Seeing this, Shu Hai hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "It's too dangerous, don't go from here anymore." ”

He suddenly took her hand, but he was not at all as nervous as before, and his tone was calm and firm.

Zanghua looked at him in surprise, but saw that the young man in white had burning eyes, and said frankly:

"I think you're right, it's just that it's hard to do it on your own. So, I want to help you if you want. ”

She immediately smiled beautifully: "Aren't you afraid of me?" ”

Shake one’s head.

"That ......"

Zanghua lowered her eyes and deliberately pursed her lips.

Her intentions were clear, and unflinching. His heart moved, and he hesitated for a moment, but finally he gave her an unnatural peck on the cheek.

Zanghua was overjoyed and immediately happily stretched out her arms around his neck. Although it was only touched like a dragonfly, far from what she expected, she was almost jumping for joy:

"You're the best, you're the best!"

Shu Hai was a little stunned for a while, and she didn't know why she was so excited all of a sudden. The girl's soft body hugged him tightly, even trembling with excitement, and her frantic heartbeat could almost be felt through the thin clothes; And the characteristic vanilla smell on her body, he thinks, may never forget it for the rest of his life.

Shu Hai's hand was a little stiff to support her slender waist, but a strange warmth surged in her heart. Maybe this is fate, and the fates of the two people will be entangled from now on.
