Chapter 44: Under the Moonlight

The days that followed were even busier.

The ancestral canon is imminent, and the young disciples of the clan are all speeding up their cultivation like spinning tops, while the others, the elder deacon is busy inviting guests, the groom goes out every day to carry people and goods, and the needle lady works all night to catch up with the clothes and decorations needed for the ceremony, in short, the whole family has entered the rhythm of high-speed operation, Li Hao's mother is doing a good job by hand, so she was also called to help, and she was so busy that she didn't go home for several days.

As for Li Hao, since the last time he activated the rebellious mission and went out of the school, he was not discouraged and ran to Xiao Yu'er's side every day. At first, Xiao Yuer was very afraid of letting people gossip when she saw her, but Li Hao's cheek was too thick and hard to entangle her, so she could only accept it and obediently accept her fate.

The days are becoming more and more colorful, it seems that even the poisonous snakes in the shadows are hibernating, life seems to be moving in a wonderful direction, the only thing that makes Li Hao depressed is that the eldest lady's attitude towards herself is getting more and more strange, sometimes with a cold face, as if someone owes her tens of millions of gold coins, and sometimes she smiles like a flower, and she is fascinated by it.

Li Hao felt that the eldest lady's mood was like a fluctuating cloud, sometimes beautiful and moving, sometimes as heavy as a black cloth.

So, Li Hao wandered in the two heavens of ice and fire, of course, he did not stop the pace of cultivation, although the cultivation did not make much progress, but the use of "gravel fingers" is more and more handy, at least drilling holes in the wood is still possible, probably if there is no way out in the future, you can still live as a carpenter.

In this way, the days passed slowly, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is the fifteenth, that is, the ancestral ceremony of the clan once every five years.

Without his mother's intimate meals, Li Hao could only eat some dry food and go to bed, starting the final cultivation and keeping in good condition to meet tomorrow's ancestral ceremony.

The night covered the earth, the moonlight poured into the room through the window, and Li Hao sat on the bed, his eyes closed, like a sculpture.

"Alas, more than half a month has passed, and I haven't been able to break through to the two-star spirit master. Two hours passed, and Li Hao finally opened his eyes, his face full of helplessness.

Although he now has 70 points in his hand, which is enough to exchange for one-star cultivation, this is a life-saving point, and he has to keep it to deal with accidents in the ancestral scriptures, and if he cultivates step by step, his speed is like a lame turtle.

"Forget it, rest early, I don't believe it, how much more waves can Li Xiu's guy make in the ancestral canon?" Li Hao said secretly in his heart, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Knock knock!

But before he could lie down, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"It's so late, why is anyone still looking for me?" Li Hao was a little puzzled, put on his clothes and opened the door, slightly stunned.

Standing outside the door was Li Pingmei, who was dressed in white and shengxue.

"What's the matter, don't you welcome me?" Li Ping, under the moonlight, stood up and said with a smile.

She still had a smile, but Li Hao could clearly catch a trace of sadness from that smile, and there was something strange in her heart, but her voice was still gentle: "Miss, what's wrong, is there something urgent at such a late hour?"

"Nothing rushed. Li Pingmei smiled and shook his head, glanced at the night sky, and said softly: "The moonlight is very beautiful tonight, and suddenly I just want to see it, and you are willing to accompany me if you think about it." Tomorrow is the ancestral ceremony, and it will probably be difficult to have such a chance after that. ”

Although Li Hao always felt that Li Pingmei had something on his mind, the two of them have also gotten along a lot these days, not to mention that he already had a good impression of this elegant woman, and said with a smile: "I also think that the moonlight is really beautiful tonight, why don't we go to the roof to admire the moon now?"

"Good idea. Li Pingmei thought about it and nodded, stretched out his hand, and said, "Let's go up together?"

"Huh?" Looking at the white jade hand stretched out, Li Hao was stunned for a moment, looked up and looked at Li Pingmei again, only to see that the clear eyes were as bright and moving as stars, at this moment, Li Hao couldn't tell whether it was the moonlight that illuminated it, or these starry eyes brightened the entire night sky.

For a moment, Li Hao felt as if something was breaking through the ground in his heart, he smiled slightly, and held the jade hand, which was as tender as a soft wattle, slightly cold, just like a cold jade.

The two held hands, and as soon as the aura was lucky, the wind jumped, and a few bounces came to the roof, the roof was not high, and the two found a solid place and sat side by side.

On a late summer night, the sky is extraordinarily high and clear, and the stars are like jewels inlaid in the huge canopy, and in the center, the bright moon hangs high, sprinkling the moonlight like water and moonlight on every corner of the world, and sprinkling on the roof of the two figures sitting side by side.

"I remember when I was a child, my father used to carry me to the roof to see the moon, and I liked to jump on the roof at that time, as if I could reach out and pick the stars and moon. Li Pingmei looked up at the sky, and her voice was full of memories.

"I used to be able to touch the moon, but now that the eldest lady has grown taller, she may be able to climb to the moon. Li Hao joked with a smile.

"I'm getting taller, but the moon is growing taller, and if I want to pick it up in this life, I'm afraid there's not much hope. When Li Pingmei heard this, she said seriously.

When she said this, Li Hao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, but saw that Li Pingmei happened to look at each other, and the two glanced at each other, both of them saw the ease and happiness in each other's eyes, and they couldn't help but laugh in the wind.

"When I think about it now, I was so happy on those days. Li Pingmei slightly brushed her sideburns that were blown by the evening breeze, and said with a smile: "If I had known that the moon was so fast, I should have found a stool at that time, grabbed it in the palm of my hand, and never let go." ”

"It's a pity that the world didn't know it earlier. Li Hao sighed.

"Yes!" Li Pingmei sighed, there was a trace of sadness in her eyes, and her voice lowered: "Later, when I was nine years old, my mother died of illness, and my father became obsessed with martial arts...... Later, I was sent to Yunmiao Pavilion, where there was also a beautiful bright moon, but there was no tiled house, no father, nothing ......"

Li Hao sat aside, listening to the woman who was like a tang slowly talking about the past, and his thoughts also flew to another world.

Yes, he also lay on the lawn with Yan'er and looked at the night sky, and he also made a vow under the moonlight, and he also thought that he could stay together for the rest of his life, but the world is impermanent, and now the moonlight is still charming, and the promise is still in his ears, but Yiren has been separated from each other, and it is difficult to see each other again in this life.

Li Hao turned his head, looking at the sadness and longing that emerged from this begonia-like face on a moonlit night, for some reason, he had the urge to embrace this woman into his arms, which has nothing to do with the love between men and women, nothing to do with **, just want to have a hug to warm others and himself.

He didn't speak, Li Pingmei felt something wrong, she turned her head and looked at Li Hao's expression slightly stunned.

That gentle gaze, like this moonlight, fell on him, as if it could melt the hardest ice in the world.

Li Pingmei felt her heart tremble uncontrollably, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably: lonely, sensitive, and strong...... It was as if she saw another version of herself.

Li Hao also recovered from his memories, and when he saw Li Pingmei looking at him stupidly, his heart fluttered, but he still smiled and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Li Pingmei came back to her senses, turned her face away in a little panic, but her voice remained flat, and she changed the topic: "You are all distracted, is it so boring to chat with me about the moon like this?"

"It's boring. Li Hao nodded solemnly, but a smile quickly appeared on his face: "But, I like it." ”

Li Pingmei was stunned for a moment, looked at the gentle smile in front of her, and finally smiled again, and said softly: "I like it too." ”

So, in the clear wind and clear moon, the two sat side by side, the moonlight fell all over their bodies, and they silently looked at the stars and the moon in the sky, as if they could be with them, always together, never separated......
