Chapter 6: Night Talk

The soft moonlight shone down in the quiet deep forest, where stood a boy and a girl. The boy looked at the girl, and the girl looked at the boy, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little warm. Lingkun looked at the jade-like girl standing in front of him, as if he had a lot to say, and seemed to have nothing to say, looking at the girl's quiet face, Lingkun felt that his pain didn't seem to be so painful. He waved his hand and said, "Follow me." The tone was calm and natural, as if they had known each other for many years.

The girl followed Lingkun gently, not tight, not slow. I didn't ask where I was going, I walked naturally. One forward, one behind, walking slowly. The back in the moonlight dragged on for a long time, and gradually turned into a shadow.

I don't know how long I walked, but the steps that Lingkun had been walking gradually stopped, and the girl stopped. In front of them, there was an ancient and huge tree. The trunk of the tree is very thick, like a wall, and the whole branch and foliage appear very dense, like an umbrella, covering the moonlight, but not missing a little, so the branches look a little gray. Lingkun looked at the tree, a sense of intimacy also appeared in his quiet eyes, and when he approached, he found the familiar wooden ladder very skillfully. Wave to the girl, motioning for her to approach. The girl looked curious, and looked at the small wooden ladder that seemed to be very rough but sturdy, and the wooden ladder leaned against the trunk of the tree, winding upwards to the top of the tree.

Seeing the curiosity in the girl's eyes, Lingkun didn't explain anything, and naturally took the girl's hand, with a slight coolness and softness in her hand. The wooden ladder is steep, so lead the girl and go up step by step.

The tree was very large and very high, the wooden ladder was very steep, and Lingkun pulled the girl to walk without the slightest pause, and the skillful movements showed that he often came here. Although the tree is tall, it has a top, and after a while, when you step on the last step of the wooden ladder, the scenery suddenly changes, it is no longer gray, it is indescribably bright.

The girl looked at the scene in front of her, her mouth slightly open, showing surprise, and then intoxication. When they reached the top of the tree, they stepped on the branches of the tree that were extremely luxuriant, and crossed them horizontally and vertically, and they were indescribably strong, as if they were stepping on a piece of land. The branches are covered with dense leaves, so they are more like stepping on a green flower. The top of the tree is wide and wide, and as far as the eye can see, there is a forest as far as the eye can see. The tree is tall, so it is close to the moon, and the moonlight appears brighter. Standing on top of it is like stepping on a whole forest, because this tree is the tallest.

Lingkun looked at this scenery he was most familiar with, took a deep breath of cool air, and seemed to feel that his depressed mood had been swept away. A cool breeze hit, a little cold, turned his head to look at the girl beside him who was full of intoxication with her eyes closed, and looked at her bare arms, as if they felt cold for her. Lingkun took off the robe he was wearing outside and gently put it on the girl. The girl felt something, and opened her eyes, which seemed to be brighter than the bright moonlight. Looking at the robe on his body, which still had a slight trace of body temperature, a bright smile appeared on his beautiful little face. She is not cold, but, at this time, she is warm.

Lingkun didn't see this scene, he slowly lay down, facing the starry night sky, and a deep voice sounded: "Do you want to hear my story?" Saying this, a kind of loneliness that did not match his age appeared on his little face. When the girl heard this, she nodded, and naturally lay down, lying down not far from Lingkun.

"My name is Lingkun, I have a great father, everyone else respectfully calls him Lingmaster, he is the highest person in this world," Lingkun looked very lonely when he said this, not like the pride of ordinary people when they talk about their father's greatness, paused, Lingkun continued: "But Tiger Father and Dog, I am a waste who can't practice, so even though my status is so noble, I just suffer from the cynicism of others. I also have an older brother, an older brother who has inherited my father's fine bloodline, who knows everything, knows everything, and has some prestige in the clan at a young age that some old people do not have. He is a genius, a genius who is satisfied with even his father, who stands tall, so he is the treasure of our clan, and I am a grass that no one cares about, and even is trampled on. ”

Lingkun smiled self-deprecatingly and continued: "But I don't hate my brother, on the contrary, I love him very much, and I regard him as the goal I want to try to catch up, but it seems that I am just a delusion, I still can't practice, I want to follow his footsteps, but I find that he is no longer there." ”

Lingkun rubbed his brows and continued: "There are seven elders in the clan, my brother and I call them seven grandfathers, eldest grandfather, fifth grandfather, seventh grandfather is very good to me, and the others seem to be very tired of me as a waste. My father has a younger brother, and my brother and I call him the second uncle, and he and my father don't seem to get along very well, and they always have disputes over one thing, so they have not been very harmonious. My father was very strict with me, so strict that sometimes I couldn't understand it, and although I respected him, I was afraid of him. Come to think of it, from his point of view, it seems to be a shame to have such a son of waste wood. After speaking, Lingkun smiled coldly, not knowing whether to laugh at himself or what. "But it's okay, I have a good brother and he is very nice to me. The children of my age actually looked down on me, they discriminated against me as a wastewood, but they were jealous that I had a good father, so they usually humiliated me. Because of my brother's protection, they were a little restrained, otherwise, I really doubt that I would have been forced to run away from home. I had mentioned this to my father before, and he shook his head and signaled that he would not care about it. Come to think of it, how can a person who stands tall have time to take care of these trivial matters. So I told my brother about the people who bullied me, and my brother is different from me, and my brother is a genius, so they can only be beaten. Under the protection of my brother, I finally seem to have the treatment that the second son of the clan should have, and those who are the same age as me no longer dare to bully me openly, but there is a disdain in the eyes that cannot be hidden when they look at me, so I am very tired, I would rather I not be the child of that very tall man. ”

After thinking about it, Lingkun sighed: "This is my story, a sad story. Then he looked at the night sky and said no more.

The girl next to her also seemed to be evoked some deep memories by him, and she didn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, she sighed slightly and said: "I am an orphan without a father and mother, I have no name, because my sister began to call me Ling'er, and I have a name." My constitution is special, so there are two different attitudes towards me in the clan. My sister is the patriarch, that is, the woman you saw in Bai, and she is also a very tall person, and she loves me very much. She is the patriarch, and she has forced an attitude of order, so that you can see me now, or rather, see me alive. The girl's voice was faint, and there was also an indescribable desolation.

When Lingkun heard this, he seemed to feel that the pain in the girl's heart was a little unbearable, and he didn't expect that the situation of the girl who was as dazzling as jade outside was a little similar to his own. So Lingkun decided to change the subject and asked, "What is this mark you gave me?" Hearing this, the woman slowly recovered from the initial sadness, and replied, "My origin mark. Lingkun let out an "oh" sound, and didn't ask anymore, because he believed that the girl would not harm herself, even if there was no reason for this trust.

Lingkun got up, looked at the umbrella-like treetop, and said: "Every time I am in a bad mood, I will come here alone, and this is the place where I heal myself, and in the future, I hope that it can also be a place for you to heal." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand to the lying girl, and said softly, "Let's go, it's not too early." ”

The girl stretched out her hand and held the hand handed by Lingkun, thinking about Bai Lingkun's firm face, a sincere smile bloomed on her still sad face.

With this smile, the moonlight fades!

Under the big tree, a boy and a girl hold hands apart, one to the left and the other to the right.
