Chapter 18: The Vanishing Beast
(a)
"This is a tea house, and the place to get water is just around the corner in front. The fan-waving person was talking and pointing in front of him, and the person behind him was hanging his head absent-mindedly.
"Xiaobai, come on, come on..." Chi Yan closed the fan, pulled Bai Hua all the way towards the tea cabinet, and pointed to the tea set on the tea cabinet excitedly.
"Look, this is a black glazed tea cup, it's called a glazed hexagonal cup, there's a white jade four-legged cup over there, and the one on the side is a bamboo silk cup sent by Ze Huang..."
"Oh..."The tea spatula in Bai Hua's hand responded with a match, and she couldn't be interested in watching it at the moment.
"Strange, where is the cup sent by Bihai?"
With that, Chi Yan looked carefully towards the top row of the tea cabinet. Although the tea house is not large, the tea sets are placed in wooden cabinets on two walls. Bai Hua looked at the piles of tea sets, and couldn't help but feel a faint sadness in his heart.
At this time, I only heard an exclamation, "Hey, it's a pity." Seeing Chiyan squatting in the corner, I don't know what I'm looking at. Bai Hua put the tea shovel aside, walked a few steps and squatted beside Chi Yan.
"Tut-tut.... It's so impersonal. You see, the pair of clotted white jade glass cups sent by Bihai were actually stuffed in this corner. I said that I had never seen him use it, and I had been looking for it for a long time in vain. ”
Bai Hua looked in the direction, and a pair of pure white and transparent teacups were resting in an inconspicuous corner. Bai Hua sighed: How did he see such a remote corner?
"Who is Bihai?" Bai Hua suddenly wondered who would be infatuated with that facial paralysis.
Chi Yan glanced at her, squatted closer to her, and said meaningfully, "You guess?"
It was rare to see him joking, Bai Hua couldn't help but marvel, the person who looked like an abandoned woman before, after only three days, had recovered his vitality, and it was really hurt by touching the rain.
"Blue sea, blue sea...."Bai Hua got up and read as he walked. He stopped, turned to stare at the person who was still squatting on the ground, and asked, "Don't you tell me that the infatuated woman is the god of the blue sea?"
The squatting man pouted and nodded. Bai Huaru was struck by lightning, what was the situation? How did she fall in love with that cold-faced paralyzed face?
"By the way, Xiaobai, how did you and him meet?" The person who had just squatted on the ground stood behind Bai Hua in a blink of an eye.
The sudden sound in his ears startled Bai Hua and turned his head back, and then patted his chest and hurriedly collected the surprise. I sighed again in my heart: I used to be quite bold, but why I have been surprised lately, and it has become a habit.
"How did you get amnesia?" Chi Yan asked as he took a tea jar and sniffed it at the tip of his nose.
"He saved me, let me be a little guy to repay my kindness!" She couldn't answer the truth of this amnesia.
She doesn't want to pretend to have amnesia, but can she do it if she doesn't pretend? If she lets that person know, will she still be better? This is not what she said to repay her kindness, let alone this tea servant. But it didn't work if I didn't do it, and I went around and finally turned to the starting point. Thinking about this, Bai Hua's thousands of troubles were mixed up.
"He asked you to be a little servant?" Chi Yan didn't believe it.
"Uh-huh. Bai Hua was firm.
"Didn't you insist on it?" Chi Yan still didn't believe it.
"Am I crazy, me?" Bai Hua couldn't help but ask.
"It's really not you?" Chi Yan still didn't believe it.
“......” Bai Hua answered him with a roll of his eyes.
"Hey, how many times Bihai wanted to stay here, but he was ruthlessly refused. And what about you? He agreed to you but looked reluctant, this looks like you are actually passable, isn't it...."Chi Yan paused, looked at Bai Hua, and thought that it was unreasonable, and then shook his head with a pout, "You must know some secret about him, so he tied you up here like this." Xiaobai, you tell me the truth!"
With that, a glimmer of gossip flashed in the eyes of the person who shook his head, and he looked at Bai Hua expectantly.
Bai Hua was speechless, if there was really a secret that no one knew, it was also he who knew about himself. In the end, I still blame myself for not dying, why do I have to go to the cold pool to find death! This thought reached the cold pool, Bai Hua combed the thread again: Hantan, Heijiao, Canglan, amnesia, sea of clouds, and then to the tea servant, the cause of all this seems to be to avoid someone's entanglement, this person...
Chi Yan was looking forward to the following, but he didn't know that he saw a fire popping out of her eyes. Confused, he dodged left and right a few times, but the flame was strangely impartial and kept spraying towards him.
"Small.... White?"
The man standing remained silent. Chi Yan shook his hand in front of her eyes again, "Little white ....."
"I'll kill you!!" The four words were deafening, and Chi Yan was so frightened that he stumbled under his feet.
Suddenly, Bai Hua turned around suddenly, waited for the anger to subside slowly, and then continued to silently recit: calm, calm, not exposed, not exposed.
After Chi Yan stood still, he looked dazed, "You, who are you going to kill?"
Bai Hua waved his hand and squeezed a smile at Chiyan with difficulty, "Hahaha, a few fragments flashed through my mind just now, and I blurted out a sentence, excited, excited. ”
Looking at the somewhat distorted smile on his face, Chi Yan asked cautiously, "What do you think of again?"
Bai Hua waved his hand, "No, no." ”
"I really didn't think about it?" Someone who didn't know the truth confirmed it again.
This contrary to her heart made the suppressed anger in her heart rush straight to her face, but at this moment she must try to restrain herself. Holding the corners of his mouth that were not naturally raised, Bai Hua squeezed two more words from between his teeth, "No, there is." ”
Chi Yan, who didn't know the reason at all, looked at the smile on his blushing face, as if he was trying to raise it, but at this moment, he felt sympathy in his heart. She must not be used to living in this place without day and night, not to mention losing her memory, and she has to repay her kindness as a tea servant. I don't want to be gracious, and I don't want others to worry, so I don't say anything, and my face is red.
Waving his fan and thinking of this, Chi Yan couldn't help but sigh regretfully, "Hey, Xiaobai, I'll tell you something about Canglan." When Ze Huang and I are gone, you can mix up the rest of the days. ”
Bai Hua pricked up her ears when she heard this, and it only took a moment for her face to turn from anger to joy, this sudden information was very important to her. It's just that the expression on his face changed too quickly, which made people who watched it a little shocked.
"Your expression has turned a little faster!" The fan-wielding man slowly raised his hand and pointed at his face.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can talk about Canglan, let me mix here in the future. Bai Hua lifted his spirit.
"It's too much for me to talk about, just take your case. On the platform that day, I overheard him asking if you remember anything? Later, I thought about it, he used to be alone, but now he keeps you as a tea servant, it must have something to do with your amnesia. I don't know when you'll be able to regain your memory, but I'll give you a piece of advice: if you remember, just say it, and maybe you'll be free. If you can't remember it, then you have to remember it anyway. Overall, you still have to remember in the end. ”
Chi Yan's words were like an initiation, Bai Hua Xu Zhi nodded, walked out slowly, found a stone bench outside the house and sat down, as if he was counting things in an instant, and then slowly analyzed.
Amnesia, if he believes it, he only needs to make up a lot of lies before to force himself to stay by his side and be a tea servant in order to repay his kindness. If he doesn't believe it, he can tie himself up here. And no matter whether he was reluctant or forced to be helpless at the beginning, in the end, he would jump down the trap he set without hesitation. So he doesn't care if the amnesia is true or not, and in the end he will still be here.
Thinking of this, Bai Hua was really impressed. While admiring, my heart became uneasy, if this is the case, then the method of pretending to have amnesia will not last long.
(b)
The water outside the bamboo, gurgling endlessly, the sound of dripping, like rain.
The attic is built around the lotus pond, and the water drip into the pond along the fine holes carved out of the flowing bamboo, and listen carefully as if it were raining.
The two people sitting in the attic were all gloomy and had no intention of enjoying the scenery.
"How?" Ze Huang pinched his teacup and looked at the Nether.
"Still!" Netherworld replied with two simple words, but Ze Huang could hear the solemnity of his tone.
The two of them were talking about Heijiao. Since that day, Bai Hua fell into a coma, and lived in Zhuhai for three days before returning to Hantan. When he entered the water to look for the black Jiao, he suddenly found that there was a cave in the depths of the bottom of the pool, and there were no less than 100 intricate caves. Since then, the black Jiao has disappeared without a trace as if it were invisible, and even the top of Canglan, where the vast land is harvested, has not been found.
"If that's the case, then I'll leave for the Four Realms at this moment to report. Putting down the teacup in his hand, Ze Huang got up and walked outside, but just a few steps up, he saw Chi Yan leading Bai Hua from a distance.
Looking at the little face that was moving away from the water, Ze Huang turned to look at the netherworld, "Xiaobai's matter...." The pause wasn't intentional, but he didn't know what to ask.
"It's a long time coming, so there's no hurry. I didn't deny it or say much, but it also implemented Zehuang's previous thoughts. Facing the Netherworld, Ze Huang bowed his head, and then steadily went out to meet Bai Hua.
Seeing each other again two days later, Bai Hua was so excited that he trotted all the way to him, Ze Huang smiled, "How are Xiaobai these two days?"
Bai Hua looked at Ze Huang and nodded back, "It's a little boring." ”
As if he suddenly thought of something, Bai Hua grabbed Ze Huang again and blocked him, "Ze Huang, where have you been in the past two days? I miss you very much." ”
"Do you miss me?" Ze Huang was flattered.
"Mmmmmmmm, I think about it very much, I want to pick bamboo hearts, I want to grill fish for you. Bai Hua nodded his head vigorously.
Ze Huang was stunned by this sudden confession, and what was even more puzzled was that the person in front of him looked behind him from time to time like a thief, as if he wanted to use himself to make a screen.
Ze Huang was stunned, helplessly stretched out his hand to support his forehead, and then shuddered at the person who was curled up.
"Ah, why are you beating me?" Bai Hua covered his head in pain.
"What are you hiding?" Ze Huang asked rhetorically.
"I, where to hide, who am I hiding. Bai Hua straightened up with a weak heart, and moved a small step in front of Ze Huang, making sure that he could completely block it before stopping.
"Who are you really not hiding?" Ze Huang took a step to the side. Bai Hua also followed, "No." ”
"That's fine. Chi Yan, go!" Yan Bi bypassed Bai Hua and walked towards Chi Yan.
The screen was gone, and Bai Hua stood by the lotus pond. In the meantime, he suddenly felt a pair of sharp eyes thrown at him, and Bai Hua immediately turned around and grabbed the corner of Zehuang's clothes.
"Where are you going?"
was pulled again, Ze Huang was not surprised, did not turn his face, smiled with his eyebrows, and said, "I'll go to the bath with him, are you going?"
