"You are?" I'm a little wary.

The man smiled softly: "Xiaosheng's name is Yesheng. ”

"Nightborn?" I repeated.

"The sound of the night." This man was very frank and told me his name directly, as if he was afraid that I would misremember his name, so he deliberately described it.

"I don't know you." I hadn't heard anything like it, and I don't remember the town having such a name.

In other words, I would be very warm to strangers, but with so many things happening, my guard has gradually become stronger.

"Well, Xiaosheng hasn't been here for a long time, and he hasn't been here before, so it's normal for a girl to not know Xiaosheng." Nightshade said lightly.

"You're a foreigner? How did you come here? "Another person from outside? Why did so many strangers suddenly appear during this time, including the boy who was scared away by the ghost in the alley just now, and the vague chaotic stupid voice.

"Well, Xiaosheng came here to look for relatives." The sound of the night is sven, which makes people feel like a white-faced scholar.

"Looking for relatives? Who are you looking for? I grew up in this town, so I should be able to help you. I said tentatively.

Yesheng laughed: "Thank you girl for your kindness, but Xiaosheng has already found the person I am looking for." ”

"Oh, that's hello." It is indeed worth congratulating on being able to find the person I am looking for, but I have a faint sense of loss in my heart, and I can no longer find the person I am looking for.

"Well, it's just that Xiaosheng hasn't planned to recognize him yet, I haven't seen him for too long, I'm afraid of scaring him." Yesheng was still smiling and shy, he seemed to be bored, and the topic was very serious, and there was no way for people to end it.

"Why? Our town is remote, it is said that there is no adjacent town within a radius of hundreds of miles, and we have come all the way to find someone, why don't we recognize each other? I slowly lost my guard and wanted to sit down and talk to him.

"Maybe it's because I'm more timid about my hometown, I haven't seen him for so many years, and I don't know if he's doing well, whether he still has resentment in his heart, and I don't know what to talk about to get back the past." There was melancholy in the night voice, and it pulled us into the distance at once, because of this kind of feeling, this is not my feeling for Li Xue.

"Then can I ask why you and the friend you are looking for were separated?" I wondered.

"When I was young, I was playful, and I made a little unpleasantness, and I didn't explain it clearly, so I let him go. Who wants to say goodbye for eight years before he dares to come here to find him. The sound of the night moved slightly, his breathing dropping, and he seemed to sit down.

Eight years, a lot of years, but not as long as I waited for my father for sixteen years. But he found someone, and I waited for the letter.

"Isn't the girl tired from standing all the time, there is a stone bench three steps away from your left." Nightshade described it to me precisely, and it seemed that he really wanted to talk to someone.

I really didn't know where to go now, so I sat down on the stone bench at the sound of the night.

Yesheng took a deep breath and said in a brisk tone: "Xiaosheng especially likes the alleys of your town, there are still fireworks in the silence - you come to listen, although it is very light, but there is the sound of the wind, the wind is sandwiched with the faint sound of selling and chatting in the market, as well as the sweetness of the rock sugar gourd, the light fragrance of rouge gouache, when it comes to the meal, there will be the sound of washing rice first, and then there will be the smell of firewood and rice, sometimes sit quietly in this alley for a day, you will not feel bored." ”

This night sound is more sensitive to sounds and smells than I am, and when I calm down now, I can indeed smell and hear some sounds and smells that I don't usually notice, but not as specific and careful as he said.

I laughed and said, "You've experienced it so carefully." ”

Yesheng laughed: "Yes, it's not just by looking at it that you can see the beautiful scenery, it's the same when you listen to it." ”

I laughed: "Listening to what you say, it seems to be much deeper than that of a blind man like me." ”

Yesheng also laughed: "Xiaosheng has been blind for longer than the girl, and of course she has more experience than the girl." ”

I was stunned, Yesheng is a blind man?

Yesheng chuckled: "Don't be nervous, Xiaosheng has been blind for many years, and he has long been used to it, and he doesn't think there's anything wrong with being blind, on the contrary, he has a lot of privileges than ordinary people. Therefore, Xiaosheng felt that his heart was very transparent and clean, and he could see it more clearly than anyone else. ”

I was embarrassed to say that people are blind and clear, but I am blind and blind.

That's when I thought of a question -

"So—did you come alone after such a long journey, or did someone come with you?"

Ye Sheng said: "Xiao Sheng is afraid of scaring him when he comes alone, if he brings one more person, won't he turn around and leave." ”

A ...... alone A blind man can walk such a long way alone and come here to find someone. Then this person must be very important to him.

I suddenly thought of a question again - looking for someone? Is it here to find a drifter?

"Is the person you're looking for, a man or a woman?" I asked tentatively.

"Male." Nightshade replied.

"How old are you—where do you live now—"

Nightshade's chuckle interrupted my question: "Why didn't the girl just ask me what his name was—Xiao Sheng really wanted to tell the girl, but he was afraid that the girl would show his feet if he found out, so he could only keep it a secret from the girl for the time being." ”

My heart was beating fast, if he really came to find Hai Piao, did that mean that Hai Piao would leave us soon?

Yesheng seemed to hear my heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, Xiaosheng is just here to find relatives, not to kidnap people - if he thinks that this place is agreeable, Xiaosheng can't force him to go." ”

I said nervously, "I—I didn't think so, I just remembered that someone was leaving, and I was reluctant." ”

Night Voice: "People come and go, joy and sorrow are part of life, just as you enjoy the joy of meeting with him, but you don't know that someone else is tasting other sorrows." ”

I was silent, the night voice was right, he was not much older than me, but he understood the truth much deeper.

"—has the girl rested enough?"

"Oh - that's enough, thank you." I stood up and suddenly felt a little funny, two blind men, who couldn't see each other, had been talking in the alley for so long.

Yesheng also laughed, and said, "It's the first time I've been in town for so many days that I've heard a girl laugh without worry. ”

I was stunned: "The first time? - Have you seen me? ”

Night Voice: "Well, for us blind people, we can't say we've seen it, we can only say we know." The sounds and smells in this alley include all the food, clothing, shelter and transportation here, laughter can be heard, and crying can be heard. ”

I lowered my head, not knowing how to respond, it turned out that somewhere I didn't know, someone was silently listening to the joys and sorrows of everything around me.

The sound of the night approached me, something leaned warmly on my hand, and a familiar smell of mountain spring water wafted into my nose - such a familiar smell?!

"This crutch, for the time being, borrow it from the girl, let it guide you in the direction and take you where you want to go - of course, the heart is the brightest eye, it is not just a tool for finding the way."

"Crutches?" I touched the thing in the palm of my hand, it was a round wooden crutch, "You gave me the crutch?" So what do you do? ”

Night Voice: "After being blind for so many years, if you still rely on crutches to travel, wouldn't Xiaosheng be too wasteful-"

"Thank you." I was very touched when we met in Pingshui.

Ye Sheng said: "However, it's just to borrow, if the girl doesn't need it, Xiaosheng will take it back." This staff is made by people who are very important to Xiaosheng, and if you don't bring it back after going out, Xiaosheng will be miserable. ”

I couldn't help but clench my grip: "Well, I'll be careful." ”

"Does the girl want to go home now, or do you want to walk in the alley again?" Listening to the tone of the night sound, it seems that he is ready to leave.

I didn't know where I was going, and I was confused: "I-I don't know ...... either"

"Since I don't know, it's better to listen to the situation in this alley with Xiaosheng, maybe there will be a little secret that the girl wants to hear." There was mischievous and humorous in the voice of the night voice, and it seemed that he had been wandering the alleys these days, listening to the strengths and weaknesses of each family.

I nodded, still wondering what little secret I wanted to hear in this alley, but I couldn't ignore the invitation, so I just said, "Okay." ”

Nightshade pulled the tail of the cane in my hand and led me through the corner to a certain place.

After walking for a while, Yesheng asked me, "Why don't you ask where you are going now?" Aren't you afraid that Xiaosheng is a bad person and will kidnap you? ”

Following this way, I felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "What are you doing kidnapping a blind woman like me?" If you're a kidnapper, you're a fool. ”

Yesheng laughed softly, although I couldn't see his appearance, but I already had his appearance in my heart, he must be a white and pure person with a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Going out and walking more is really good for your mood."

I nodded.

"Girl, do you smell anything carefully?"

I took a deep breath, I smelled the faint smell of wood in the air, and my nose yawned as something like dust drifted into my nose - what was this place?

Yesheng laughed: "Suck too hard, choked, right?" Then listen to it again, do you hear anything? ”

I pricked up my ears and heard the sound of a tick in the wind, as if someone was repairing something, and then the sound of brushing and sweeping the floor—

Woody smell? Repair sounds? I looked up and felt the direction of the sun shining on my face, and the smell and sound were wafting from the east—

Chapter single wooden courtyard?

"Who?!" As soon as I thought of Zhang Dandan, I heard his angry roar burst out.

I shook it, if it was really near Zhangdan's house, I smelled this smell and heard this sound far away, how did he find us so quickly?
