After dinner, Shu Ya moved a rattan chair and watched the stars in the courtyard with Xu Zhibai.

On summer nights, the stars shine brightly, and the sky is full of stars, like broken diamonds covered with blue canvas, each one exuding a brilliant brilliance that makes you can't take your eyes off it.

The two of them lay side by side in the yard, listening to the chirping of insects, blowing the cool breeze, and nibbling on the cucumbers caught from the well.

Xu Zhibai likes such a leisurely time very much, he doesn't have to think about anything, he doesn't have to do anything.

The only thing to do is to unleash all your senses to experience and feel this pleasant evening breeze.

Shu Ya gnawed the gherkins and chatted with her, but she didn't know what topic she was talking about, and her voice was lowered.

"Am I talking too much? You're not going to bother me......"

Xu Zhibai heard that the emotion in his voice was not quite right: "No, I like this feeling, I'm not very good at words, let you misunderstand, I'm sorry." ”

"I shouldn't have been like this for many years, comfortably blowing the evening breeze with my friends......"

Shu Ya's brows furrowed again: "Why?" Friends aren't around? ”

No.

It's no friends.

Xu Zhibai suddenly jumped out of this answer in her heart, but she didn't say it, she took a bite of the cucumber, the sweet and cool juice burst in her mouth, and the melancholy that had just emerged was pressed down by this refreshingness.

After a moment of silence, Shu Ya touched her hand with the back of her hand that was stacked on her abdomen, and it was a touch.

Her hand was slightly warmer, reminding her of another person's hand.

"My mother said that you can't always indulge in starlight, you will lose your way."

Xu Zhibai smiled: "Doesn't the universal saying say that the stars can guide the way?" ”

Seeing her smile, Shu Ya blinked and smiled at her: "It's all storytellers, poets who made it up to fool the people." Starlight is in the distant sky thousands of miles away from us, how can we guide the little people on the ground? ”

"You think, the people who live with you may not know that you are lost in your heart, how can the stars know?"

Xu Zhibai's heart moved, feeling that something was about to move in his heart, as if he was about to break out of the ground.

Yes, how could the distant stars in the sky know the pain and suffering of the hearts of the small people on the earth.

She herself has seen countless people worship with all their might, just to pray for her good sailing.

When people encounter a catastrophe, their first reaction is to pray to God and Buddha, and pray for God and Buddha to save themselves from suffering, but so many suffering people in the world-

Buddha, can you get over it?

Xu Zhibai forgot to chew the cucumber in her mouth, and she looked at the stars in a daze.

So what did she come to Nanyang for?

The people of the world are eager to flock to Nanyang Immortal Mountain, isn't it just eager to cultivate a golden body to break away from the mundane, and avoid the torture of birth, old age, sickness and death?

It can be seen that everyone in the world is suffering, so what is the purpose of living?

In her life, she can't say that she is not suffering.

Her mother was oppressed by a concubine and died of illness.

He lost his mother at a young age, was born with low self-esteem, was not loved by his father, and had ugly scars on his face, which was simply a joke about walking at home.

If she can practice, she can use it to attack and work hard, but she can't learn to practice.

For the past ten years, she has not been able to feel the aura.

It wasn't until a few days before Nanyang's first exam that he miraculously touched the subtlety of aura and miraculously passed the preliminary exam.

Xu Weiwei was very unconvinced.

If it were her, she herself would not be convinced, the person she had hated for more than ten years, she could have finally escaped, but when she learned that the person was going to go with her, she would have cried.

Anyway, she's out of that place anyway.

"Xiaobai?"

Shu Ya finished nibbling on the gherkins and found that Xu Zhibai was still in a daze at the stars, and called her a little eagerly.

Xu Zhibai came back to his senses, and the cucumber in his mouth had been infected with the temperature of his mouth, and it was neither cold nor brittle.

"It's late, let's go inside. There are few houses at home, so it's okay for you to squeeze in with me, right? ”

"Of course."

The brilliant starlight seemed to shine into a dream, and Xu Zhibai felt that he hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time.

The next day, I woke up refreshed.

After a simple breakfast, Shu Ya carried a basket on her back to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs.

Xu Zhibai thought about it and offered to go with her.

She hadn't forgotten the reminder the driver had given her that the Nanyang trial lasted for three days, and if they hadn't missed the time, today would have been the first day.

Is this the foot of the fairy? Or is it just Immortal Mountain?

Shu Ya said that she didn't dare to miss the mountain.

Hearing that Xu Zhibai wanted to be with her, Shu Ya was very happy, and she found a set of clean clothes for her to change into.

"The mountain road is difficult, don't damage your clothes."

I don't care if I don't break Xu Zhibai, but this kind of long skirt is really not convenient to move, and it would be much better to change to narrow sleeves and short fights.

She also carried a small basket on her back and a small hoe, and blended perfectly into the village.

I did see a lot of outsiders along the way, and I could see the difference at a glance.

Dressed plainly, it is the people of the village who are constantly busy.

Dressed in fine clothes, there is nothing to do, and it is the outsiders who are leisurely and casual.

On the way up the mountain, I met a lot of outsiders, or groups of three or five, or two people accompanying them, calling friends, and there were very few people alone.

Shu Ya picked a handful of wild chrysanthemums, and the small golden flowers reflected the sun, which had a different kind of splendor.

She leaned over and mysteriously took Xu Zhibai's hand: "There will be this kind of flower later, let's pick more of them, and I'll make you a scar-removing ointment when I go back." ”

The smiling face in front of me is as bright as this wild chrysanthemum.

Xu Zhibai felt as if his heart had collapsed.

She looked away unnaturally and tried to find words: "This flower still has this miraculous effect?" ”

Shu Ya blinked her eyes slyly: "I don't have flowers, I have them." ”

Xu Zhibai: ......

The two of them were busy working on the mountain for most of the day, and seeing that the sun was getting more and more vicious, Shu Ya pulled Xu Zhibai and walked back.

"It's my carelessness, I should get you a felt hat, I'm used to tanning, you can't tan." She picked two large leaves to shade Xu Zhibai.

To be honest, the scenery on the mountain is very good, and it feels great to find treasures in a patch of verdant greenery.

Xu Zhibai followed down the mountain and was still unsatisfied.

On their way down the mountain, they met three people.

Shu Ya first found the person following them, turned around and greeted happily: "Second Brother Li, yo!" What kind of treasure do you have in your arms? Cover it so tightly. ”

When I got closer, I found that the three of them had different expressions.

The second brother Li was a burly young man, and when he saw that Shu Ya hadn't spoken yet, his face turned red first, and he stretched out his arms to reveal a white rabbit he was holding, looking helpless: "She is injured, and we are going to take her back to recuperate." ”

The two people who followed him were also familiar faces.

Xu Yu was so impatient from the sun that he almost stuck out his tongue to dissipate heat, and he rolled his eyes angrily.

Glancing at it for a long time, he coldly warned him with his eyes to restrain himself.

Xu Zhibai looked around at the two of them, feeling that it was quite magical that he could see their interactions.
