The next morning, there was a burst of jubilant bird chirping outside the house, and the moment she opened her eyes, she moved her head, quietly looked around, and with the slow return of consciousness, yesterday's experience also passed through her mind.

She and the Nine-Tails leave the Valley of the Immortals, and then the Nine-Tails leave injured, and she meets Twilight and Sparrow, and finally everyone ends up here.

Recalling this, Wan Yuan slowly got up from the earthen kang, and after a simple grooming, he opened the door and saw a chic and neat figure flashing in the courtyard.

Twilight was dressed in a strong suit, and her dexterous posture like a flying swallow quickly churned and jumped in this small courtyard, and the "hidden weapon" thrown in her hand from time to time shot towards the tall fruit trees outside the courtyard like a sharp sword, and the branches that were hit fell with orange-red fruits.

The golden chipmunk also jumped up and down with the side of the fruit tree, and used its half-cut tail to accurately throw the fallen fruits to the basket under the tree, but when it encountered the larger ones, the broken tail still lacked a little strength.

And the little finch that was watching the play on the side, and chirping twice from time to time, rushed away when he saw this, and with a beautiful whirl, his wings flicked hard, and the big fruit fell obediently into the basket.

The golden chipmunk looked at the basket, and then looked at the little finch, squeaked twice, and then ran to the other end of the fruit tree, and then a mouse and a bird did not "communicate" with each other, but there was less tension yesterday, tacitly played the "solitaire game".

At this time, the fruit was almost finished, and Duxia closed down steadily, turned to look at Wuyuan, the two looked at each other and smiled, and asked, "You woke up, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Wu Yuan nodded, and before she could say anything, the little finch flew towards her, and the golden chipmunk saw that the owner had stopped, and also ran into the courtyard with him.

Wan Yuan smiled and stroked the little finch that fell on the back of her hand, and raised her head to look left and right, but she didn't see the old woman's figure.

Seeing this, Twilight stroked her shirt, patted the golden chipmunk that fell on her shoulder, and said without opening her mouth: "Grandma went to the back mountain, she was worried that you were running hard yesterday and wanted to pick some wild mushrooms to make up for you, and she stopped me from going along, so I must stay and watch you, so as not to make trouble for the officers and soldiers again." ”

"Grandma is so polite, I'm already very disturbed to stay here, and now I have to bother Grandma to go up the mountain to collect fungi, it's really inappropriate, why don't I go to the back mountain to find her." After Wan Yuan finished speaking, he wanted to go out.

Twilight hurriedly stopped her and said, "What's the hurry, I haven't finished speaking, before Grandma goes out, it seems that a friend of yours is visiting, he is good, at first he mistook it for a fine work, and then saw that he was very familiar with Xiaoque and said that he was looking for you, so he asked him to accompany Grandma up the mountain." ”

"Friends? Pretty good? Wu Yuan was a little puzzled, thought about it and said, "Is he wearing a white dress?" ”

Wan Yuan looked at Twilight Xia with some expectation in his eyes, and when he saw her nodding, he said excitedly: "Ah, it's him, it's him, it's him, it's him, he's looking for me, he can find Ah Jiu when he comes back." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door of the courtyard was pushed open with a "squeak", and Wan Yuan first saw a hand, and then a tall figure appeared, she ran forward excitedly, but when the person's face met her eyes, the eyes that were originally flashing with brilliance suddenly dimmed, and the crystals that filled the eye sockets fell one by one.

She tried her best to widen her eyes, trying to see the person in front of her more carefully, but she couldn't stop the more and more tears she accumulated, she could only keep rubbing her eyes, trying to find the person's shadow clearly, but no, why not him, why not him?

Durian was stunned by Wu Yuan's actions, and was a little overwhelmed in place, and the joy of seeing his friend was suddenly a little embarrassed.

As Wan Yuan's movements became more and more rough, Durian came back to his senses, took a little effort to pull down her rubbing hands, looked at her red and swollen eyes, those little dissatisfaction were diluted at once, he sighed, bent down and lowered his voice as much as possible, and said helplessly: "What's wrong?" Are you so unhappy to see me, and as for being so disgusted, is this to be satisfied with the eyeballs? ”

Hearing this, Wu Yuan lowered his eyelids, calmed down for a moment, and shook his head slightly.

The thoughts and expectations that had just piled up, as well as the words that were about to burst out of her mouth, were all choked in her throat because the person in front of her was wrong, and she couldn't even speak for a while.

At that time, Duru didn't say anything, his eyes crossed the source of the water, and looked at Twilight who was standing in the courtyard with a stunned face at this time, the two looked at each other and nodded, Twilight Xia immediately stepped forward, bypassed the two, walked towards the old woman behind Duliu, took a bag of pastries in her hand, and helped her walk in.

When passing by them, the old woman stopped, smiled and said kindly: "Ah Ruo's friend is also here, it's really good, there are many people, Grandma will cook more dishes for you today, Ah Ruo can help Grandma take the added dishes and chopsticks to the stream to wash them?" ”

After hearing this, Wan Yuan turned sideways towards the old woman, lowered his eyes and nodded: "Hmm." Then, she raised her hand and patted Durian's arm gently, signaling that he could let go.

Durian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and before letting go, he leaned on the side of Wuyuan's ear and whispered: "'He' is fine, don't worry, he will definitely come back to us." ”

Wu Yuan raised his head, the two looked at each other, and saw the same expectation and worry in each other's eyes, but the object was different, Wu Yuan stopped his tears, raised his head, and nodded to Durian with red and swollen eyes: "Well, 'he' will definitely come back." ”

It doesn't matter who this is said to, the important thing is that they both believe that the 'he' they are waiting for each other will definitely come back.

After lunch, the weather was sunny and the sun was just right, and Wu Yuan sat on a small stone pier that was polished and smoothed in the small courtyard, supporting his cheeks in a daze.

She had already relieved herself, thinking of the situation of seeing the durian in the morning, she felt a little guilty, the return of her friend should have made her excited, but at that moment, because of her own imagination, the joy became a little embarrassed, and when she thought of the nine tails, she felt even more sorry for the durian.

Although Bai Ran was very worried and sad when she was gone, at least he had Xue Er by his side, but the Nine-Tails was injured and left, and there was no news at all, and as the last person by his side, he was not able to accompany him, presumably Durian must also be worried and sad at this moment, from the words he whispered to her in the morning, it can be understood.

So, she didn't hesitate and decided to talk to the durian, but as soon as she came together, she turned around and saw the durian sitting on another large stone pier with her back to her.

Wu Yuan was taken aback, "This, when did you come?" There's no sound......"

Durian sat idly on the stone pier, his hands propped up on his sides, his body leaned back slightly, with a straw in his mouth, squinting and lazily saying: "It's been a while, I didn't mean to not move, it's that you think too much, too obsessed, and don't pay attention." ”

Speechless for a while, this person was already here, but Wan Yuan was a little apprehensive, and he didn't know how to speak, so he could only stand aside in a daze.

Fortunately, the durian is a smart spirit animal, turned in the direction of her, patted the stone pier she had just sat on and said, "Sit down, what do you want to say, don't worry, the weather is good today, let's talk slowly." ”

Looking at his forever unscrupulous appearance, Wu Yuan made up his mind, sat down side by side with him, and the two chatted about the original days in the Valley of the Immortals, that boring but warm time, chatting about the "him" in each other's hearts, and talking about all kinds of things that had never had the opportunity to sit together and talk about before.

Basking in the warm afternoon sun in autumn and looking at the cloudless clear sky, those who don't know must feel what a peaceful time it is.

But in the fourteen years of Wuyuan's life, after this day, she realized what the calm before the storm was.

"I should be able to wait until he comes back, right?" Wu Yuan asked, looking at the clouds that were gradually burning red in the sky.

"How could you ask that?" Durian turned his head and looked at Wuyuan with puzzled eyes.

"I, there is always a premonition that I want to part with you, although I don't know where this feeling comes from, but to tell the truth, although I used to look forward to going out of the valley, but I never thought that I would be separated from you, now out of the valley, but I really hope that we can return to the Valley of the Immortals, even if we go back to live the same days as before, even if we don't come out again for the rest of our lives, at least I don't have to worry about not seeing each other in the future as I do now, it's much better."

The clouds on the horizon gradually burned red all the eyes that looked at it, and the afterglow of the blazing sun, from shallow to deep, burned until the end of the red, faintly revealing a dark meaning.

Wu Yuan's words fell, turned his head to look at the durian, at this time he had already straightened his body, looking at the sky attentively, Wu Yuan felt dazzled for a while, he actually felt that in the eyes of the durian, he saw a touch of evil under the background of the blood-colored sunset, at that moment, it was not exhaustively chilling.

And when Durian turned his head to look at her again, at that moment, it was still the familiar atmosphere of the past, as if everything was just an illusion, he was still the same unscrupulous appearance, and said to her with a smile: "It will be." ”

After dinner and tidying up, everyone went to rest, and the pomegranate and the little finch lay down on the fruit tree outside the courtyard to rest, and spread the canopy of the enchantment, not afraid of wind and rain.

Tonight, the moonlight was quiet, the autumn was crisp, and everyone quickly fell asleep, two wisps of blue-purple smoke drifted in along the crack in the door, and one was inhaled by the source who slept inside, so she began to fall into an infinite loop of dreams.

In the dream, she was dressed in a shark silk dress, her forehead was decorated with colored treasures, gorgeous and grand, her feet were ethereal clouds, but in a blink of an eye, she stepped into the deep pool, a strong sense of suffocation was caged, an irresistible suction pulled her to fall, and her body continued to surge with the air under the pool, sending out a beam of light stronger than a burst, the stronger the beam, the weaker the qi that surged up, and her consciousness became more and more scattered, until the moment before she closed her eyes, there was a pair of extremely familiar hands, reaching out to her, hugging her tightly, the warm body approached her, with her constantly upward, Up until the fresh air inhaled again, she felt alive again.

It's just that in the blink of an eye, her whole body is blazing and unbearable, her muscles and bones are itchy like ten thousand ants gnawing, she forced herself to open her heavy eyelids, and the person in front of her surprised her, it turned out to be Bai Ran.

She was overjoyed, and wanted to get up and go to his side, but found that she couldn't move, she looked at her body suspiciously, no, this is not her body, she is not yet fourteen, and this body is at least the appearance of a sixteen-year-old girl, Wu Yuan was puzzled and frightened, and looked at Bai Ran again.

But she found that the person in front of her just had a Bai Ran look, that clothes, that demeanor, not the Bai Ran she knew, she wanted to ask, but she couldn't even make a sound, she could only look at that person with panicked eyes.

At this time, the man's eyes were bloodshot, and when he saw her wake up, he stared at her deadly, his hands were sealed, and a raging flame immediately ignited around the two, and at the same time, a calm but slightly cold voice said to her with a heavy tone: "I don't allow you to leave, how can you leave so easily, you have made such a decision and have taken me into account for half a point, so even if the jade is burned today, even if it is entangled in the infinite reincarnation, you and I are destined to be entangled to death." ”

Wan Yuan was surprised again, this voice was clearly Bai Ran's, but it was not half warm, but a little crazy, at that time, the more and more bone-eroding pain around her body gradually eroded every inch of her nerves, she had no power to fight back, so she could only indulge in this pain, waiting to wake up.
