Chapter 19: Recollection
Yu Ge was stunned, and looked at me hesitantly, to be honest, many customers who came to drink tea in the grass and trees came for Yu Ge's appearance, and it was estimated that this was the first time she had encountered someone who took the initiative to ask her to leave.
I secretly realized that Xiao Yin would talk to me about some secrets that only the two of us knew, and there must be another reason why he didn't want Yu Ge to hear about it. And to be honest, even if Xiao Yin doesn't say this, I will hope that Yuge can avoid it, because I don't want a third person to know those stories in Yunnan.
"Honey, you go home first, I'll talk to my old friend alone."
Yuge glanced at us with her puzzled eyes, then silently walked over to me and whispered in my ear worriedly. "Izumi, I always feel weird about this person, and he smells like he doesn't belong to a human being."
"Don't worry, there will be no problem." I smiled quietly. "Go back quickly, it's so cold."
Yu Ge has always been more sensitive, she nodded helplessly, and told me again and again, I must call her every hour, and then packed up my clothes alone, and left the tea shop in a car.
Looking at the glimpse of the car flashing in the snow, a relieved smile appeared on Xiao Yin's face. "Liu Quan, there is a person around you who has always cared about you, very happy, right?"
"Brother, you are so famous now, there should be countless women chasing you, right?"
"Huh." Xiao Yin smiled bitterly, then folded his scarf neatly and put it on the table. "It's a wonderful feeling to be chased."
His words reflected his complicated feelings at the moment, and I didn't know how to answer him for a while. "You...... Xiao Yin, you have really changed, you would never ask such a thing before, and these are the things you care about the most. ”
Xiao Yin laughed meaningfully. "Really? Do you really think I've changed? ”
"You weren't so talkative before, it's not a bad thing, you feel very comfortable now, much better than you were before." I explained. "I was surprised because ...... I've always felt that you are a person who will not change in your life. ”
"Really?" He sighed. "A lot has happened in the past five years, and sometimes it's really not up to you to decide whether to change or not."
"You have really been reborn in the past five years, Xiao Yin, you have achieved your own career and realized your ideals, and now I am afraid that even the aunts on the street can call your name." To be honest, I myself was a little jealous and envious, but I was really happy for him. "Yours is yours."
When he said this, he thought that Xiao Yin would humbly admit a few words, but he didn't expect his expression to suddenly become heavy, he picked up the teacup, tasted it slowly, and stared at the churning tea leaves in the teacup motionlessly. "Liu Quan, I can hear these compliments every day now, and as the only person besides me who knows the truth, I thought you wouldn't say that."
"Oh?" I was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect Xiao Yin to say the question so directly before he could chat with me for a few words.
"You know, these are the power of the Orchid Gu, and it's hard for me to do this on my own." Xiao Yin said calmly. "So I know these compliments myself, and only a small part of them should belong to me."
Orchid Gu, this name appeared in my ears again, and it really caught me off guard, the tragic scene when Xiao Yin was planted with Orchid Gu suddenly surfaced in my mind, the three reptiles, the orchid that pierced the flesh, and the strange ritual of the five Mo Lan sisters, any time I thought of those pictures would be a disaster.
"Are these really the power of the Orchid Gu?"
Xiao Yin nodded calmly. "What the Xianglan clan said is not wrong at all, this orchid Gu is indeed mysterious. Actually, I wanted to tell you all about this for a long time, because I knew that I could die at any time, and I wanted to find someone to share my story, and that person could only be you. ”
"Brother, you can talk to me at any time." I replied with a wry smile. "I contacted you after that trip to Yunnan, but your phone was down for a long time."
"I was really scared that it would affect you at the time, because you also have Gu poison on your body like me, I remember clearly that Chunlan of the Xianglan clan said that once you tell everything you see within five years, your tongue will fester." Xiao Yin said with some anxiety. "After that, I specially consulted a lot of books about Miao Jiang's Gu Technique, and I realized that what they said was true."
"Actually, I didn't fully believe in it. Although I did not say a word about what happened in Yunnan in the past five years, I always felt that the girls of the Xianglan tribe were a little alarmist. I said hesitantly. It wasn't until I learned that you had achieved so many amazing achievements that I gradually realized that maybe this Gu did have its unique power. ”
Xiao Yin slowly stood up, then walked to the window and began to write on the hazy window, he seemed to have a thousand words to say.
"Liu Quan, it's been more than five years now, and I think I should be able to tell you all about it." Xiao Yin slowly used his finger to write the word "Lan" on the window. "If one day I die suddenly, you must remember what I said today."
I swallowed my tea uneasily, the reason why I was a little uneasy was because what Xiao Yin said was really weird, in just a few minutes, he had already repeated it twice, and he would die at any time.
"Don't be so pessimistic, we don't care if this orchid Gu is so mysterious or not. At that time, the girl named Mo Lan once said that it is difficult for ordinary people to last for a year, and you have passed five years unharmed, and there should be no danger of dying suddenly. ”
Xiao Yin looked out of the window, and the straight body wrapped in the suit didn't seem to be as unapproachable as he imagined. "Liu Quan, where do you want me to start?"
"Let's start with the orchid that was transplanted on you." I replied. "I've always wondered if it's an orchid or not?"
"It's a great idea, and I'd like to start with that pot of orchids, because that's where all stories begin." Xiao Yin's fingers gently outlined on the window again, and made the blue character that had just been written bold again. "Actually, it shouldn't be called an orchid anymore, I've always called her Xiaolan."
The name "Xiaolan ......" made me feel a little funny, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud, feeling that the mysterious atmosphere that I had created with great difficulty had been destroyed." Brother, did you give a name to a pot of flowers? ”
"Her real name is Xiaolan, it's her own name." Xiao Yin answered me quietly. "She is no longer a pot of flowers, but my lover."
"Lover?" I asked with tears and laughter, but then I felt that Xiao Yin was definitely not joking, maybe this story was not what I imagined it to be.
