Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Bamboo Raft and the Wine

After Cheng Yuan left, the remaining three people did not leave the room, but were silent in their respective positions. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Ji Mu's index finger unconsciously buckled the plum blossom pattern inlaid under the armrest of the seat, and his left hand supported his chin, once again falling into a vast thought.

I don't know how long the silence lasted. At a certain moment, Ji Mu suddenly spoke: "Ghost Face, where did he go?"

Ghost Face looked up and saw that although he was asking himself, his gaze was still wandering in the distance. Ghost Face said: "He...... It's like visiting a street market in the city. "I can tell that even Ghost Face himself has no confidence in this judgment.

Ji Mu frowned and said, "Look again." Keep your imps hidden. ”

"It's a ghost, not a little ghost! I think you're a milky little ghost!" Although the ghost face will not show it on the face, it will inevitably scold in the heart. Thinking that he was a cultivator of the Great Mystery Realm, even the master of the Secret Sect had to speak politely to him. But this Ji Mu just never knew what respect was, not only did he shout at him all day long, but even the famous stunts of the ghost face, Ji Mu always sneered. How does this not keep the ghost face from secretly holding a grudge?

However, one only needs to look at the appearance of the ghost face to know that he is by no means a person who is good at revenge. Perhaps Ji Mu also saw him clearly, so he was even more unscrupulous.

Long.

Ji Mu said again: "What about now?"

Ghost Face said: "He went to the river on Qiutang Street, and he was talking to the locals, and he couldn't see the purpose for the time being. ”

"'I don't know for the time being'?" Ji Mu sneered, leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes, "Go on." ”

And for a long time.

The ghost face suddenly said: "Childe, he met Huayue!"

Huayue?Ji Mu opened his eyes suddenly, and said gloomily, "Why is she there?"

"It's not good," the black mist around Ghost Face's body fluctuated for a while, and he said hatefully, "He scattered my ghost general!" "The soul of this level of the ghost general is very difficult to refine; although he was mentally prepared when he sent it to follow Cheng Yuan, when Cheng Yuan destroyed it casually, Ghost Face still hated it even more in his heart.

Ji Mu squinted and was silent.

Qiao Ji rarely took the initiative to ask for orders: "Childe, let me go." ”

"No hurry, a little longer. Ji Mu waved his hand.

There is more than enough time for tea.

"You all stay. ”

Ji Mu stood up slowly and said with a smile: "I'll go by myself." ”

......

Hua Yue walked aimlessly into the crowd, and when she found a place that she felt comfortable, she walked over and stopped for a while, and more often walked.

The long branches of the willows on the shore drooped, and the occasional sharp horns of the leaves brushed over her shoulders. The river flows for a long time, and the sound of the water fills the entire autumn pond, and it is always easy to ignore its existence. There is a floral scent in the breeze.

Then I came to a thick green shade, and the stone fence at the water's edge was smooth and shiny by the people passing by. Hua Yue walked over, leaned over slightly, rested her arms on the stone railing, and looked up at the river.

In fact, Hua Yue didn't have any resentment in her heart, and she didn't even complain; If there is no Ji Mu, it will be someone else, and she would rather be Ji Mu. Maybe Ji Mu is right, she is not suitable to stay in Weimen, or the entire Fengtian Mansion.

But where are there so many choices in the world? Kazuki thought, just get by.

She watched the river pass, and time passed.

Where the water and the sky meet, there is a touch of cyan. As it approached, Katsuki's eyes gradually converged.

A bamboo raft. The young man was dressed in white, and only one person stood on the raft.

The raft undoubtedly looked shabby compared to the grandiose and wealthy painting boats around it, but as long as one fixed one's gaze on the young man who was sailing on the boat, no one would think so.

The white clothes are made of proper and restrained material, and there is an auspicious cloud pattern case embroidered with hidden needles, which is rich in a warm festive atmosphere. A dress seems to be inconspicuous at this time, but it can make a discerning person vaguely see the extraordinary background of the young man.

Compared with the clothes, what attracts more attention to the young man in white is the temperament around the body.

His gaze was so peaceful and clean that it seemed as if the sun from the sky could cast directly into his eyes, and everyone who looked at him could not help but feel close to him.

And at this moment, the young man happened to look at the flower moon leaning on the railing on the shore. He smiled slightly, turned the bow of the boat, and slowly rowed in her direction.

Under Katsuki's gaze, the boy had come to her side, his body rising and falling slightly with the water waves.

He looked up at Hua Yue and smiled lightly, and said softly, "Let's come together?"

Hua Yue smiled back, and with a little light on her toes, she turned over the stone fence and landed lightly on the bamboo raft, like a purple butterfly.

The boy put his hand on the boat again, laughed and said, "Let's go!"

When the bamboo raft reached the center of the river, he loosened the boat, sat down on the raft at will, and threw one of the pots of wine in his hand to Huayue.

Kazuki took it, and sat down like him, looking side by side with him at the endless water in front of him.

Everything comes naturally.

It was a sunny afternoon and the boat was much less crowded than it was when it was busy. After another turn, the water became more and more open.

"Hey, do you have ...... Someone you like?"

The boy pondered for a moment.

Hua Yue laughed and said, "Do you still need to think about this?" she sighed and said in a low voice, "It seems that at least you don't have a special favorite yet." ”

The young man said, "Does the girl have it?"

"Yes. Kazuki nodded.

The boy asked, "Is he treating you badly?"

Kazuki smiled bitterly, "Is it obvious?"

The boy gestured to the flask in her hand.

Hua Yue couldn't help but glance at him, and said with an angry smile: "You didn't give me this wine yet?" After she said this, she was stunned at first-like Fang Cai's familiar tone like an old friend, she didn't know how long she hadn't used it. I didn't expect that she could be so comfortable in the face of this young man whom she had never known and who might never see each other again.

Maybe it's because she's a stranger, she dares to say it.

Thinking of this, Hua Yue suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and even the last trace of stiffness in her heart dissipated.

She tilted her head and took a sip of her wine, "That's right. Not only did he treat me badly, but he betrayed me many, many times...... No, maybe in his heart, those things had nothing to do with betrayal at all. He doesn't care about anyone, and he doesn't care about me. ”

The boy did not show the slightest disdain or pity for these words, but naturally guessed like a friend, "But he must have been kind to you for a while, right?"

Katsuki's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "How do you know this?"

"Obviously," said the young man without thinking, "you are also a proud person, if you have not had memories worthy of nostalgia before, how can you admire someone who does not cherish you?"

Hua Yue smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Yes, you are right." I used to think that we were lovers...... In fact, do you believe that such a ruthless and heartless person was so well disguised in the past. He had fooled everyone, and everyone had assumed that he was suave, intelligent, and without a single blemish. ”

The young man was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe it's really a misunderstanding?"

"He?" Hua Yue sneered, but her eyes were lonely. "No way," she said. ”

The boy said: "People inevitably make mistakes, everyone is the same. ”

Hua Yue's eyebrows showed a look of exhaustion, and she forced a smile: "What about you, have you also done evil things?"

The boy laughed, "Of course there is! Not long ago, I got into a big trouble, and then deliberately impersonated someone else. ”

Hua Yue heard that he was serious, but she burst out laughing and said, "You are a prank at most! Children don't pretend to be evil, it's not fun." ”

The young man said helplessly: "I'm serious. ”

"Okay, it's true!" Hanazuki chuckled and said in an accentuated tone, "It's true—okay?"

Her smile stopped abruptly.

Hua Yue's face turned pale suddenly, her lips trembled slightly, and she didn't care about arousing the suspicion of the young man, so she directly said-

"He's coming!
