Chapter 31: Echoes of the Great Hall
Yunqi suddenly appeared, saluted me, and said suspiciously: "Family master, two people came outside, saying that they are your friends..."
When I saw Yunqi's expression, I was silently amused. He has been with me the longest, and in my eyes, he has always been a person who never likes to be happy. Even when you talk to me, every time you talk to me, it's always the point, and you don't drag it out.
As for the two people he said, I think they should be Shangguan brothers and sisters. The reason why Yunqi was suspicious was understandable, probably he didn't expect someone to claim to be my friend, after all, I didn't think that there would be such a day.
For more than ten years on the mountain, the days are the same, and there are not even a few things that can be taken out and recalled. I have heard of people who plunge into the mountains alone, or who practice in retreat for two or three years, concentrating on martial arts in order to take their martial arts to the next level. I can also be regarded as practicing in retreat for more than ten years, but it is because my life is monotonous and empty, and there seems to be a blank in my life one after another.
Some people don't like to dream, but I think that dreams are another colorful movement in life. I often dream, and in my dreams I seem to have experienced another life, in that dream, I have friends, mothers, people who care about me, and it seems, there is an older brother. One dream after another, woven vertically and horizontally into a complete story.
Unfortunately, when I woke up from the dream, I forgot all about it.
Of course, there are exceptions. I once had a dream that was deeply etched in my heart. There was a little girl, ignorant, in a place like a big hall, the hall was very empty, she was alone, and the surroundings were ethereal.
She was so lonely, she wished she had a friend, she was sitting on the steps, she wanted to talk to whomever she wanted, but there were only walls around. It was so quiet that all I could hear was my own breathing. She coughed softly, and the hall was so empty that a light cough echoed. She was stunned for a long time, her lips moved, and she said, "Hello." Immediately after, Echo replied, "Hello." ”
The little girl's eyes suddenly appeared with a strange color, she knew that it was an echo, not that someone was really answering her words, but she continued to say "hello" again and again, as if someone was talking to her, and she never tired of it.
It's just a dream, but I always remember, I've been thinking, this game, sooner or later, she will get tired of playing, and when the time comes, who will accompany her.
As if she could see that day, she lost her innocence and gradually lost her joys, sorrows and sorrows under the encroachment of time and loneliness.
When I came back to my senses, I realized that the Shangguan brothers and sisters were still waiting for me, so I went back to the hall. Lingye followed behind, and when he saw that it was them, he hurriedly saluted them. That's what she remembers.
Then the wind whispered and took the mullions down, leaving only the three of us in the living room.
"My brother and I passed by here, so I decided to come in and have a look, I was afraid that you would be bored alone, but I didn't expect there to be so many more people. Shadow Autumn saw the timid Lingye who was following Feng Yin, and teased me: "Yo, last time I said no, don't, this time it's good, take it home directly." ”
I laughed hard and simply told her what had happened.
"What! That dead fat man turned out to be this kind of person!" Ying Qiu almost jumped up from his chair in anger: "Brother, did you hear that?"
"Hear it, hear it, beat him up, don't you?" said Kagekatsu, looking back from the doorway.
Shadow Qiu clenched her fists, "What are you looking at?"
Ying Sheng looked at me and hesitated for a moment before asking, "The other two are your men?"
I replied, "Yes." ”
Ying Sheng asked again, "Have you seen the city lord?"
I thought I didn't need to explain the details to him anyway, so I said, "That's true." ”
"Sure enough," Shadow Sheng said happily, "the city lord can really get the news you want." At the end, he seemed to think of something, and said with some urgency: "Then, are you leaving Biancheng?"
I pondered for a moment and replied, "No, I'm not in a hurry yet." Even if you really want to leave, you still need to place the mullion leaves first, in my case, I probably can't take her up the mountain, and then I may have to ask you to take care of it, so as not to trouble the people from Longwei Fort to come to her again. We don't want that to happen again. ”
"As long as she stays in Biancheng, she won't be fine. The people of Longwei Fort will not find here. Besides, I had to beat him up first. Shadow Qiu shook his fist and said.
"Yes. After a pause, I continued, "One more thing. That guard at the east gate of the city, I wonder if you know anything about him?"
The two siblings glanced at each other.
I wondered, "What's wrong?"
"Why did you ask about him?" said Ying Sheng, "I only heard that he was the one who was brought back by Young Master Xuan himself." He's very mysterious, so we don't know anything about his identity. However, he was obviously physically inconvenient, but he was still selected by Gongzi Xuan as a guard, and his martial arts must be unfathomable. ”
I sighed silently, the person who was brought back by Young Master Xuan himself.
Shadow Qiu Nunu mouthed: "Brother, when he came in the first year, the whole person was gloomy, do you remember?" Some people suspect that he is actually from the ghost clan. I thought he was weird, a big man who spent all day with a cat. ”
And there are too many people who make me feel strange, and the lord of Biancheng, Xuan Gongzi, is the strangest one.
......
After the Shangguan brothers and sisters left, Yun Qi came out at some point and said, "Family master, please give an order." ”
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the cicadas were chirping outside the door, and I still felt thirsty after taking a few large sips of herbal tea, and chuckled, "What order?"
"In the matter of Longwei Fort, the head of the family does not have to pretend to be someone else's hand. ”
"After you came down the mountain, you became talkative. I leaned back in my chair, but found that even the chair was getting hot, and I pulled back and said, "I just told them what happened, and with their ability, I can't afford to lose." As for you, what are you going to do to solve this problem? Do you want to expose your whereabouts, or do you want me to lose my way and kill someone?"
A few beads of sweat on Yunqi's head were shaky, but his expression was the same as usual: "Family master, you are serious, Yunqi doesn't dare." ”
After a moment of silence, I licked my dry lips and said slowly, "How long has it been since she appeared?"
Yun Qi was stunned for a moment: "What does the head of the family mean..."
I paused for a moment in my hand gripping the teacup, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of his small movements of rubbing his fingers, and I couldn't help but sneer.
Finally he understood what I meant, and said, "Homecoming, Lord, for almost four years." ”
"If I had the opportunity to find out the truth about myself, would you and Feng Yin be on my side?"
A strange light flashed in Yunqi's eyes: "Family master..."
"That's it. You and the wind are in the way, as long as they don't get in my way. The rest, it's up to you. ”
