With the annual leave approaching, the entire university hall suddenly became a lot deserted, and the bluestone path that used to be bustling is now sparsely populated, and occasionally a few figures are still carrying bags, smiling at the corners of their mouths, walking hurriedly, looking like they are in a hurry to go home.

"My family is coming to pick me up in the afternoon." As soon as she got out of class, Xiao Xue said excitedly.

"Oh, that's good." Han Yue was slightly stunned, and then sighed leisurely: "Unlike me and my junior brother, there are only the two of us when we go home, and it is even more deserted than the school." ”

"Hehe, then you can go home with me, anyway, your master is not here, it makes no difference if you don't go home or not." Xiao Xue's smart eyes turned around, and the corners of her mouth outlined a smile and said, "Anyway, Yuelu Mountain is not far from the capital, so you can get it directly with me." ”

"Hmm... This is not very good, although my master is outside on weekdays, but he still has to come back at the end of the year. Han Yue's snow-white chin raised slightly and groaned for a moment, then there was a trace of helplessness on her face, and she said, "When the house is empty, it is estimated that he will be dumbfounded." ”

"Ah~ Okay then." Xiao Xue's red lips pursed slightly, sighed and said: "But after the New Year, you have to come to the capital to play with me, I'm super boring in the capital alone!" ”

"Okay, anyway, I guess my master will go out to 'visit friends' after the New Year." Han Yue smiled slightly, stretched out her white and tender arm to hold Xiao Xue: "Anyway, my junior brother and I haven't been to your house yet, so you will have to treat Xiaoxue by then." ”

"That's a must!" Xiao Xue patted her chest with a smile, and said with great boldness: "If you come to the capital Yueyue, Miss Ben will pay for all the consumption." ”

"Hehe, then I have to go and inquire about where to buy the mansion in the capital." Nie Yun smiled and leaned his face over, and when he turned his head, he was pressed back by a white palm.

"What's the matter with you?" Xiao Xue glanced at Nie Yun, and deliberately wiped her palms with disgust.

"Eh, friends." Nie Yun sighed, looking heartbroken and sad, but his steps did not move for half a minute.

Everyone has been together for more than half a year, and now they are suddenly separated, even if it is only a temporary separation, a touch of parting sorrow is inevitable in the heart, and they can only use gags to soothe their sorrows.

It was rare that the three of them didn't do anything after class today, and returned to the small courtyard along the bluestone path, sitting around the stone table in the courtyard, talking and laughing.

"It's not interesting to just talk like this, I'll go buy some side dishes and come back." Nie Yun suddenly stood up and smiled, and said, "It's time to break up the meal." ”

"No, I'm ready." Xiao Xue's red lips pursed slightly, and with a flick of her jade hand, the stone table was covered with dishes with bright colors but a faint cold air.

"Okay, Xiaoxue, you premeditated, just tell us now." Han Yue was slightly stunned, then reacted and pursed her lips and smiled.

"I'm not trying to hide it from you." Xiao Xue's fair face was slightly red, and her slender jade fingers wrapped around a strand of broken hair on her forehead: "The main thing is that I don't know how to speak." ”

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking these meaty words, isn't it just a month." Nie Yun waved his hand, casually took out a red fire spirit talisman, and when the qi machine moved slightly, a red flame suddenly appeared, and under Nie Yun's meticulous control, the frozen dishes quickly re-exuded an attractive aroma, and the crimson flame was suddenly extinguished.

"Wu, this is much simpler than alchemy." Nie Yun thought like this in his heart, but he said: "Use Xuan Ice to keep it fresh, thaw the Red Fire Spirit Talisman, eh, Xiao Xue, I was really damaged by you... Whining. ”

"Come less." Xiao Xue glanced at Nie Yun, and then turned her hand and stuffed a huge pig's trotter into Nie Yun's mouth: "See if I don't plug your mouth." ”

"Woohoo."

......

After the three of them were full of wine and food, they chatted leisurely, but they didn't expect Xiao Xue's family to arrive earlier than expected, but the sun had just tilted, and a middle-aged beautiful woman with extraordinary demeanor and a six-point resemblance to Xiao Xue was already standing at the door waiting.

"Xiaoxue, let's go." The middle-aged beautiful woman nodded slightly at the three of them and smiled: "You are Han Yue and Nie Yun, I often hear Xiaoxue mention you in her letters." Xiaoxue's temperament has caused you a lot of trouble on weekdays. ”

"Hello aunt." Nie Yun and Han Yue hurriedly stood up: "Xiaoxue has a very good temperament, if you want to make trouble, it is right for the three of us to make trouble for each other." ”

“... Mother, why did you come here in person, and you will expose me as soon as you come. The surprise in Xiao Xue's eyes passed for a moment, her rosy lips pursed slightly, and she hugged the arm of the middle-aged beautiful woman and sneered.

"You, you." The middle-aged beauty doted on Xiao Xue's white forehead: "My mother hasn't seen you for more than half a year, what's wrong with picking you up in person." ”

"Hee-hee, mother's best, mua." Xiao Xue kissed the smooth face of the middle-aged beauty, and then turned her head to Han Yue and Nie Yun with a smile, "Then I'll leave first, remember to come to the capital to find me." ”

"Well, let's go, don't let my aunt wait." Han Yue stretched out her white and slender arm and waved.

"Then I'll take Xiaoxue away first." The middle-aged beautiful woman smiled and waved her hand, then took her daughter's arm and walked out.

The two held hands, and from a distance, they really didn't look like a pair of mother and daughter, but like a pair of sisters.

And as soon as Xiao Xue left, only Han Yue and Nie Yun were left in the entire courtyard, oh, by the way, there were two golden-veined leopards.

The two little golden-veined leopards were laughing and playing in the corner, but Nie Yun and Han Yue still couldn't help but feel a little cold.

"Eh, it's really boring, senior sister, let's go home too." Nie Yun was bored and played with the chopsticks in his hand, tomorrow the university hall will officially have annual vacation, and now this alchemy hall, spirit rune hall and the like are not open, and there is no place to go if you want to pass the time in alchemy.

"Isn't it the same when you go home?" Han Yue fiddled with her jade fingers boringly, and her rosy lips pursed slightly: "I don't know when that guy will come back." ”

Seeing that Xiao Xue's mother came to take Xiao Xue home in person, and thought about herself, she could only go home alone with her junior brother, and maybe it was only the two of them when she got home, thinking of this, Han Yue's ruddy lips curled up more and more.

"Oh yes." Nie Yun lay on the table in frustration: "Although Master Nian Guan will definitely come back, but this is still a week before Nian Guan, according to the nature of the master, it is not bad to come back before the Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

"Huh? Who said that? Suddenly, an old, smiling voice came from the door.

Nie Yun straightened up suddenly, Han Yue's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and the two pairs of eyes looked at the door that was not straight, and even a little rickety.

"Master." Two voices of surprise came almost simultaneously: "Why are you here?" ”

"Hehe, of course it's my two precious apprentices who came to pick me up." Zhang Qiuni, who was dressed in a dark green Confucian shirt, stroked the snow-white goat's whiskers on his chin, paced forward, took Han Yue and Nie Yun's hands, and showed a kind smile on his face: "Other children will be picked up by their parents when they go home, and of course my two apprentices must have them." ”

In the slanting sun in the west, the two slender and upright figures were pulled in the hands of the somewhat rickety figure in the middle, and the sunlight in the west slowly stretched the shadows of the three people, faintly forming a concave character, but this scene that should have been a little weird made people feel a faint warmth for some reason.

......

But this warmth didn't last long, it was quietly broken...

"You two unlucky babies haven't been back for a long time." Zhang Qiuni, who was dressed in a dark green robe, looked at the thick gray stains covering the door lock, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and asked.

"Uh..."Nie Yun scratched the back of his head, "You know, we have a nice little courtyard in the University Hall. ”

"And you're not at home, so it's no different if we don't come back." Han Yue added with some embarrassment.

"You haven't been back for more than half a year?" Zhang Qiuni looked up to the sky and sighed.

“... Right. Han Yue and Nie Yun nodded "innocently".

"Okay..."Zhang Qiuni gently held his forehead with his right hand, then took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door of the somewhat wooden courtyard.

The wooden door creaked, revealing everything behind it.

On the dirt floor of the courtyard, the green weeds have grown to the height of calves, and the shrubs that have been carefully pruned by Ben next to the corner have also grown scattered at this time, except for a stone table covered with ash in the center, this is almost a small ecological garden.

Well, if you look closely, you can also find several stone benches hidden in the weeds around the stone table.

"If I don't come back, you guys will stay at home for two days once in a while." Even though Zhang Qiuni had made some mental preparations before opening the door, he was still a little stunned when he saw such a scene, and turned his head to glance at his two precious apprentices and said helplessly: "It was originally a barren mountain and a wild mountain, but now even the house has become a barren house." ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Nie Yun scratched his head and smiled, and Han Yue looked up at the sky, as if he was attracted by something very rare.

Zhang Chuni shook his head helplessly, lifted the somewhat wide dark green robe, stood on his toes, and took a deep breath after passing through the dense weeds, before pushing open the door of the room, which was also a little wooden.

"Huh." Zhang Qiu let out a slight surprise sound, and Nie Yun, who was following behind, blinked his two eyes, stretched out his head to poke over the master, and looked at the scene in the room.

In the innermost part was a carved wooden bed, next to the bed there was a small red wooden cabinet that had faded a little, and in the middle there was a square black table, and around the table there were four long benches of the same color, and next to it stood a life-tall black wardrobe, but now it was covered with a thick layer of gray-white dust, and a thin layer of spider webs had formed in the corners, obviously this house had not been inhabited for a long time.

Belch... It's normal, Nie Yun turned his head to Zhang Qiuni a little dazed, tilted his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" Master. ”

"Hehe, nothing." Zhang Qiuni waved his hand with a smile: "As a teacher, I just feel that the situation inside is much better than outside, and I was a little surprised for a while." ”

“... Master, aren't you talking nonsense? Nie Yun scratched his head in confusion: "It's windy and rainy all day outside the courtyard, of course, it's much more messy than in the room." ”

"You hapless baby... It's so smart, in order to reward you..."The corners of Zhang Qiuni's mouth twitched slightly, and then patted Nie Yun's shoulder and said with a serious face: "This courtyard will be handed over to you." ”
