Chapter 33: Candlelight Night
"Then you dare to come to me?"
Ahri was a little cramped: "From the first day the spirit girl entered Biancheng, Ahri has been secretly following the spirit girl, so..."
I didn't ask any further. I guess this Ahri has always been quiet in the city, and it would have been okay to talk to her more, but the sun has set in the west, and I should go to the appointment, and it is always bad to be late.
It's just a wall away from the next door, but I haven't heard anything big next door. Out of the house, there are few pedestrians on the road. Yun Sheng stepped forward and knocked on the door, handed over the post, and after a while, someone came and said that he wanted to take me to meet the owner of the house.
The yard is not big, but it is elegant. It's a bit like a corner of the unsullied floating corridor on Kongsang Mountain, and of course, there are no snowflakes here.
Under the plum tree in the courtyard, a boy with a crown of hair sat in a golden wheelchair with his back to me. At dusk, the setting sun illuminates the surroundings.
Behind him stood another man dressed in a black robe. The bridge of the nose is very high, the eyebrows are like a sword, the facial features are clear and hard, and the most eye-catching thing on the body is his saber, which is an extremely delicate long sword, the hilt and the scabbard seem to be integrated, red as blood, transparent as crystal, the red hilt is engraved with strange carvings, decorated with tassels, it looks bright and magnificent, and the soul is like a soul that makes people unable to take their eyes off.
The man in Xuanshang saw my arrival and walked towards the wheelchair, so, in the afterglow of the setting sun, I saw Xuan Yuxuan sitting in a wheelchair, playing with the folding fan in his hand with one hand, and was pushed over.
The muscles in my head are jumping, this disciple, I haven't seen him for a long time, why is he sick like this?
I made no secret of my doubts: "Don't you still have two pills, how can you be so weak?"
The smile on Xuan Yuxuan's face gradually retracted, and she said a little quietly, "Didn't I follow your doctor's instructions?"
"Doctor's orders?"
"You said that being in a wheelchair is good for my body. ”
My mind went blank, and I couldn't remember when I had said such a thing. Looking back for a long time, uh... It seems that when I met him for the first time, I had such a meaning, but that's not what I said.
I frowned.
"My doctor hasn't come to see me for so long, and there is no way, so I have to come to her myself. ”
I helped my forehead.
"In order to keep my doctor from overworked, I didn't live on the island in the middle of the lake, and I deliberately moved next door to the doctor, well, I must be the most considerate patient in the world. ”
My forehead started sweating.
I said helplessly, "It's only been a few days?"
Xuan Yuhui answered me seriously: "Nine days." ”
The sweat on my forehead was even more serious: "Don't answer so seriously..."
I didn't look away, there was not a single shadow of Yunsheng, I sighed, thinking to myself that this guard seemed to be unwanted, he knew who lived next door nine times out of ten, but he didn't say anything to me.
When I got to the table, I realized that I was only invited to celebrate the housewarming.
Xuan Yuxuan turned his head sideways and motioned to the man beside him: "Duanfang, you go down first." ”
I glanced up at the man. The name... When I first broke into the island in the middle of the lake, I heard it from a woman, and it turned out to be him.
Night falls, the windows pass in and the wind enters, and the crescent moon rises in the treetops. The lanterns in the courtyard began to light up, and as far as the eye could see, the candles were burning brightly.
I looked at the scenery and was really helpless.
Hengzhu also wants to eat this meal, so let's see what tricks you want to play.
The maid began to serve the food one after the other, and I didn't have the heart to pay attention to what was on the table.
After taking two bites, he sat on the side, watching, and from time to time sandwiched a few chopsticks and vegetables for me, as if a dedicated breeder was carefully taking care of a pig that did not grow meat and could not be sold.
I looked at it, and it was all I was happy to eat.
Putting down the chopsticks, I looked at him and couldn't help but help but help but help my slightly hot forehead. I thought about what excuse I found and hurried away.
Another maid bent her waist and walked gracefully with a bowl of soup. Xu was that the night was hazy, the girl was unsteady on her feet, leaned forward and threw herself on the table, the tray in her hand slipped off, and she saw that a catastrophe was about to happen.
I sat up straight in an instant.
As soon as he was shocked, the candles around him flickered and stopped, and they stopped shaking for a moment.
At that moment, the surroundings seemed to be frozen, the wind stopped, the woman's frightened expression froze, and even the soup that had been spilled seemed to stay in the air.
The smile on Xuan Yuxuan's face disappeared, just for a moment, his place was vacant, a breeze blew up a strand of my hair, a blurred afterimage shuttled, the woman's figure changed direction in an instant, I turned my head to look at the side again, he had already sat back like a nobody.
My hair fell back into place. The candle flame jumped and flickered.
"Smack!" was the moment he sat down, everything around him returned to its original state, the tray fell to the ground with a thud, and the maid fell to the ground, except for the soup that did not spill on me, but held it firmly in his hand.
"Gong, Gongzi!" the maid lay on the ground, trembling with fear.
"Go down!" Xuan Yuxuan's voice was flat with a hint of imperceptible anger.
The maid did not dare to raise her head, and retreated on her knees.
I wanted to be sure of something and stared straight at him.
The night is dark. In the dim candlelight, I clearly saw his clear eyes, gradually becoming blurred, a gentle smile appeared in the corners of his eyes, and he whispered, "What's wrong?"
It's these autumn peach-like eyes.
I turned my head in a slight trance: "If I expected it to be right, you sent me to the demon world at the beginning, right?"
Xuan Yuxuan's demeanor was leisurely, he took a new small bowl, filled the soup for me, took a spoon, cooled it very naturally and then handed it to me, I actually took it over like a ghost, lost his mind for a moment, but heard him open his mouth leisurely: "I didn't send you over." It should be said that is what you are capable of now. ”
I didn't think I was really hearing: "What do you mean by that?"
"That's not something you can control right now. You'll find out later. ”
I was silent.
I don't care what I'm capable of.
I don't care if I've done anything wrong.
Sooner or later, I'll have to go back to Kongsang and continue to live like that.
Whoever the third uncle asks me to save, I will save whomever I want.
Eat, sleep, practice. Even if someone talks to me, it doesn't last more than three sentences.
Where I can't see, no one will ever tell me what the hell is going on.
I'm happy to be idle, too.
