In the guest room of Dali Temple, Yanxiang slept until the sun was three poles before getting up, but he still felt that his whole head was groggy.

Last night, she barely closed her eyes all night. As soon as I close my eyes, the scene of Sister Shuimai wiping my face with a silk handkerchief comes to mind. She couldn't forget the intoxicated expressions of the two of them at that time. She watched Sister Shuimai wipe her face with a silk handkerchief, wiping and wiping, and turned into touching his face with her hands.

That scene made her goosebumps fall to the ground.

It is said that curiosity kills cats. She would rather not see that scene, so that she could be like an ostrich, burying her head in the sand, out of sight and out of mind. But did the ostrich bury its head in the sand and choose not to listen or watch, thinking that nothing had happened?

In fact, the saying that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are in danger is actually a misunderstanding of humans. Ostriches live in hot desert areas, where the sun shines strongly, and the hot air rising from the ground, intersecting with the cold air at low altitudes, appears as a result of scattering a shimmering mist.

Usually the ostrich always stretches its neck to look through the mist, and once frightened or detects the enemy, it simply sticks its periscope-like neck flat to the ground, curls up its body, and disguises its dark brown feathers as stones or bushes, plus the cover of the mist, it is difficult to be detected by the enemy.

In addition, the ostrich keeps its head and neck close to the ground, which has two functions: one is to hear distant sounds, which is conducive to avoiding danger early; Second, it can relax the muscles of the neck and better eliminate fatigue.

In fact, no one has ever actually seen an ostrich bury its head in the sand, which would suffocate the ostrich to death.

At that time, she wanted to see how the senior brother took care of Sister Shuimai. Unintentionally, she bumped into that scene. She didn't know how she held back her emotions, so she didn't rush out and sneer, but quickly fled the scene silently.

Her heart was bitter and sour, but it was just a trivial matter. She desperately found all kinds of reasons to convince herself not to think too much. She laughed at herself, this is what she did voluntarily!

But the more she thought about it, the more upset she became, and the scene in her mind lingered.

Late autumn is a melancholy season. The mood of the smoke is like the outside world, the leaves are yellow, withered, withered.

In this withering season, only the maple tree makes people reverie. It took off its green clothes and put on red plain makeup.

She grabbed a cloak, put it on her body, got up and walked out, and distracted.

When I'm in a bad mood, I go out to have fun, and most of what I find is new boredom.

The smoke trampled on the road paved with dead leaves, and listened to the rustle of dead leaves as they crumbled. A hint of wind passed lightly through the ears, rolling up the withered yellow and old leaves of the trees, and whirling and fluttering.

Watching the maple leaves fall down one by one, she unconsciously felt pity. It is very beautiful for the maple leaves to fall down, but behind the beauty, there is inevitably desolation, and behind the desolation there is inevitably pain. Just like her and her elder brother, they used to be inseparable, talking and laughing, but now, they are close to the end of the world and full of sorrows.

The clear and gentle blowing on her face with the fragrance of smoke made her feel a chill.

Suddenly, Yan Xiang looked up, and two familiar figures came into her eyes.

What a picture of harmony between man and nature!

The maple leaves are red like fire, burning, swirling, and the whole maple tree is like a huge flame.

Under that flame, Chu Tiankuo held the water vein, holding her arm with one hand and her waist with the other, snuggling up to each other for warmth. Oh no! It is to snuggle up to each other and stand under the maple tree to enjoy the maple leaves.

Their figures were reflected in the eyes of the incense smoke, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

The water vein slowly stretched out her hand, opened her palm, and a maple leaf fell into her hand. In an instant, the wind stopped, and with it the fluttering of the leaves. The maple leaves, slowly, slowly fell, on the black hair of the veins of water, and also on her red cloak.

I saw Chu Tiankuo gently flick down the maple leaf that fell on the water vein. It seems that the two of them only have each other in their eyes, and they stand in the distance without noticing the smell of smoke at all.

At that moment, Yanxiang felt that the two of them seemed to be one with this maple leaf. In an instant, the whole world was frozen in her eyes, and the cold of late autumn was far less cold than her heart at this moment.

She stood there, her legs as heavy as lead, unable to take a step. She had a wry smile on her face, but her eyes were full of tears. Her elder brother has thrown himself into the arms of others.

Wasn't she asking for it? Why did she feel so uncomfortable and full of melancholy?

Her elder brother told her about the legend of Maple Leaf:

Whoever catches the maple leaf before it falls will be lucky. And those who can witness the thousands of maple leaves fall can make a wish in their hearts, and it will be quietly fulfilled one day in the future. If you can watch the maple leaves fall with your beloved, the two can not be separated.

The sun shone on their backs, and at that moment, she felt that the sun was so dazzling. She cursed in her heart to let the sunlight disappear from her eyes.

Her curse was fulfilled immediately, and suddenly dark clouds covered the sun and a gust of wind blew.

A gust of wind blew, and a thousand yellow leaves left the maple tree, flying and spinning deftly in the wind. The thousands of yellow leaves swayed and fell as if they were drunk.

Oh my God, do you want to be so effective? It's just amazing. Smoke Incense stared at all this in front of him in amazement.

The wind rose, and Chu Tiankuo said softly to the water vein: "The wind is strong, I'll help you into the house." ”

Shui Mai glanced at Chu Tiankuo shyly with affectionate eyes, and nodded slightly.

The smoke was sour in my heart, as if everything in my stomach had turned into vinegar, and the sour water was bubbling up.

Shui Wei and Chu Tiankuo turned around.

Caught off guard, Chu Tiankuo saw the resentful eyes of the smoke incense, and his heart trembled. The crisp blowing made him shiver and cold.

Smoke Xiang's gaze met his gaze, and his eyes were facing each other, looking at each other speechlessly.

There was deep helplessness and distress in the eyes of the senior brother. Suddenly, the grievances in her heart poured out. She quickly turned around and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When the narrow road meets, the brave wins.

She felt that she was not a brave person, and ran away if she wanted to. Behind him, there was a call from the water veins: "Smoke! ”

Yanxiang suddenly came back to her senses, gritted her teeth, and secretly scolded herself for being stupid, in this case, why did she stay here?

She should have quietly left, pretending not to see it. However, it was too late. The water vein called to her, and she stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

She turned around, stared blankly at the veins of water, and smiled. This smile, she felt very fake, reluctant and stiff.
