"It's raining so hard outside. The little girl sat beside Xiaobai with her chin propped up, listening to the sound of rain outside the door.

"yes. Xiaobai didn't deliberately ask anything out of curiosity, and his tepid quiet appearance seemed to be the same as the little girl beside him.

The little girl turned her head sideways, hugged her knees and propped her cheeks, and asked, "When will the rain stop?"

"Maybe, for a while. Xiaobai didn't know why the little girl asked this, and answered vaguely.

"How long is a while?" is a particularly paranoid character, with an innocent face.

Xiaobai smiled, touched the little girl's hair, did not be upset to perfunctory preaching, but patiently put the little girl's little hand in his palm, "Do you see the stripes on your fingers and palms?"

The little girl leaned her little head over, and looked at the dense texture of her palms in the light of the fire, "I saw it, I saw it, there were a lot." ”

Things that I didn't care about are now perceived, but they are novel.

"The wait is always extraordinarily long, and this rain will also fall for a while, as for how long will it take? Count the lines of your palms, and when you look up again, the rain stops, and this will be there in a while. Xiaobai smiled very gently, not like a misguided child.

"Really?" the little girl was delighted.

The emptiness of time is only for recreation.

Looking up at the stars in the sky and blinking? Squatting to watch the ants move under the trees, it is often said that time is like an arrow, but I don't know that the sun and the moon are hanging high alternately, and it is only one day to shoot a thousand arrows!

Seeing that the little girl has no concept of time at all, it is difficult for Xiaobai to empathize, Yunxuan Pavilion is so big, and she can't go out, she used to count the days with her hands when she was a child, and then count the palm lines to spend her days like years, that taste.

Once a day, I went through the palm prints, until I got the great pastime of the imperial study, and I couldn't count how many lines there were in my hands.

"One, two, three, four......" The little girl actually broke her fingers and began to count them one by one.

Xiaobai smiled, maybe his method is really a 'misguided child', but Xiaobai is happy, the blind man shows the way to the blind, if you want to be stupid, you can be stupid, anyway, Xiaobai is very fond of this little girl.

I have ideas, but I just shake my head and smile and think about it.

"One hundred and seven, the eyes are so flowery. The little girl's concentration on counting was that her eyes were flowered, and she couldn't help but raise her head and rub it, and when she looked down again, oh!

Before the little girl was sad, Xiaobai pinched the little girl's fleshy cheeks, and secretly sighed that it felt so good, and when the little girl looked up, Xiaobai said: "Listen, the rain has stopped." ”

"It's been a long time. The little girl was pleasantly surprised.

"yes. Xiaobai smiled, just like before, the tepid quiet appearance seemed to be the same as the little girl beside her.

Xiaobai stood up, bowed slightly and thanked the woman on the side, "I'm bothered." Then he put on his still damp clothes, turned around and pushed open the wooden door, looking at the still gloomy sky outside, the rain stopped a little, and the mother and daughter sent themselves to the door, the little girl smiled a little happily, waved her hand, but Xiaobai said, "Come and see you in a few days." ”

The little girl was even happier. Say yes out loud.

It's just that the mother who is holding the little girl on the side looks weird, it is difficult for orphans and widows to survive, and there are many inconveniences, but Xiaobai, a strange good person, this 'goodbye' makes her a little uncertain.

Xiaobai walked around the puddle, stepped on the stone pavement, and made a sound far away.

......

Just halfway through, the rain is nothing that can not be contained, a pool of water fell, that's it, walking in the rain is elegant, but next to the heavy rain, and walking slowly is a fool!

Covering his head and running all the way, he couldn't see anyone on the road, and he didn't know how many puddles he had stepped on, and when he finally ran back to the front of the city lord's mansion, the mud flowers were all over his body.

Hurriedly knocked on the door, and the housekeeper looked at the distinguished guest outside the door with an umbrella, and welcomed him in. Xiao Bai hugged his shoulders and opened the door with trembling, but saw Dong Qing sitting on the chair next to the bed, dangling with a Erlang leg, seeing Xiao Bai's pitiful appearance, he was satisfied with the corners of his mouth.

Schadenfreude should not be so obvious.

Thanked the old housekeeper in a voice, and the water dripped from the corner of his clothes along his hair, and he was angry when he looked at Dongqing!

Unexpectedly, it was a preemptive strike. "Isn't it cool?" Don't say that you didn't realize Xiaobai's emotional changes, you can only say that this is what Dongqing is waiting for, so he put on a leisurely appearance and said cool words.

The rain was a little cold, and my teeth were faintly chattering, and it was cold to the bones. It's all at this time, where is there still the mood to talk to you, three times five divided by two to take off their own drenched clothes, only the close-fitting white silk clothes, the quilt stacked on the side of the bed suddenly floated up and opened and fell on the bed, by the little white a fish jump, into the quilt, three or two clothes flew out of it.

Seeing that Xiaobai was in no mood to joke with himself, Dongqing just stood up and took the red wine gourd on the side and threw it to Xiaobai, "What about the cat ancestor?" Only then did he realize that the little black cat that was following him was missing at this time, and he couldn't help asking.

The seal of the red wine gourd floated in the air, and Xiaobai took the wine gourd and drank it, and the ordinary flower carvings in the nether realm were also the taste, but it was enough to drive away the cold. At this time, when he heard Dongqing's question, he said unhurriedly: "It's lost." ”

"What!" Xiaobai's calmness and Dongqing's surprise became a striking contrast.

Xiaobai already had a plan in his heart, and said that it was too fake to say that he didn't care, but it couldn't be too obvious, and said lightly: "When the rain is light, let Da Hei get it back." "Why don't you wait for the rain to stop? The rain has no choice, wait for the rain to stop, you can't wait for a moment!

"That's the only way to do it. "Dongqing Road. The little black cat is the ancestor of Dongqing's cat, and the title of the joke has no awe at all, and there is more only pampering and care.

Xiao Bai pulled the quilt to cover the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt the heat emanating from his stomach dissipating the coldness on his body. I tried to squint for a while, but I heard Dongqing say: "There are people in the house today, looking at the posture is not a good stubble, I don't expect you to hide, but don't tease either, although this is the lower realm, but I can't be too out of line, and so are you." ”

"What person?" Xiao Bai said with his eyes still squinted, his mouth stuffed in the bed.

"Do you remember what Zhang Cai said, saying that his brother is back, well, it's today. "Dongqing Road.

And then. Xiaobai is still listening.

"It's none of my business, but I can see that the atmosphere is a little subtle, and I can't help but be a little curious, so I inquired a little more, but found something interesting. "Dongqing sold it.

"Say it quickly. Xiaobai was faintly impatient.

Dongqing sighed bored, and continued: "Zhang Heng's son, Zhang Cai's brother, the former Jiangcheng Black Horse Secret Guard, Zhang Deng." One identity after another is a matter of course, until the last one, which made Xiaobai open his eyes.

"There are people in the dark guard who are surviving. Xiaobai's tone was very flat, but the last note was definitely not a statement!

"So what? Jiang Guo is gone, maybe he survived, is it possible that you will show your face again and say that the remnants of the defeated army should live and die with Jiang Guo, and let the family wipe their necks?" Dongqing couldn't help but sneer.

"Enough. Xiaobai stopped Dongqing, "Let me sleep." "Anyway, the breath is steady, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will fall asleep.

Leaving Dongqing to laugh, he got up softly, pushed the door open, the wind and rain were still there, and he stepped into the rain with a short body, and the rain did not stick to his body.

After Dongqing left, Xiaobai opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth opened slightly, and he murmured: "Zhang Deng, life is not luck." ”

......

In his sleep, Xiaobai saw the collapse of the Long Live Palace, which was destroyed in one fell swoop, and he collapsed behind the wall, and saw Jiang Cheng covered by fire, a sea of fire, but he didn't know where he was.

saw the knock on the door, and saw the second senior brother's wooden sword, and then noticed the gaze of the old man in Guigu, but he took a sip of wine, looked at the wine gourd wrapped around his wrist, and came up to grab it......!

There was a plop, but it was rolled to the ground with the futon.

I opened my eyes for some reason, looked around blankly, and after realizing my embarrassment, I pulled the quilt, but I was unmoved, so be it.

It's still raining outside the house, and the sound of the rain is really annoying! It's good not to listen to it, but the sound that goes directly into your ears is not allowed to be rejected by yourself, especially when there is some noise mixed in it.

I pulled the quilt to cover my head, but I still couldn't stop it, and I couldn't sleep at peace. Dragged the clean clothes on the side and put them on, took a sip of wine, and did nothing for a while.

What is the noise that penetrates the rain curtain? Vaguely curious, he pushed open the door and avoided the rain curtain along the eaves to find the past.

Standing in front of the door of this house openly, stirring the rain curtain falling from the eaves, he was tired of listening to it.

......

"The Song family put it aside in advance and looked at me! Don't stare at Lao Tzu as soon as you come back. Zhang Heng slapped the table angrily and scolded.

Under the main table and two chairs on the table, sitting on the chair is the extremely angry Zhang Shoujiang, stretching out his hand to take the tea on the table, taking a sip of the warm and slow fire, but his lowered eyes squinted at the person in front of him.

More than a young man, less than a man in middle age, wearing a blue and black robe like a black iron, a knife-like cold face like a sharp blade, sharp but restrained, after two years to see his father, never cared about the temples, but a white piece, once remembered that he was tearful but did not regret beating himself out of the house and never compromised, and now even a small thing, he has to give in, yes, he is old.

"Qiu Ya's bones are gone, I hate it, you think I want to live to this day? You beat me out at the beginning, but I don't hate you, but now I can look down on it, and I came back again, but as soon as I got home, I was forced to give me a marriage? Dad, call you dad again, do you really treat your son as a son?" There was loneliness in his eyes, but the flickering of the stars couldn't change the pair of pupils that were already numb and everything didn't matter.

Zhang Heng seemed to have something in his throat, and a thousand words died in his stomach, leaving only a gloomy sigh, and he choked up: "The good times of Dingdu City will not last long." ”

"What do you have to do with me!" Zhang Deng stated a fact, but it hurts people's hearts!
