Lu Anran came out of Yizhuang, the sky was dark, the crescent moon was a scimitar, hanging from the treetops.

Two white lanterns fluttered in the wind at the gate of Yizhuang, and the night was silent, pale and bleak.

Wufang made a large bucket of water outside, Lu Anran took off the deerskin gloves and carefully cleaned her ten fingers, with a thoughtful expression, she accidentally kicked the barrel, and the water inside splashed out, wetting her skirt.

It doesn't matter if the water is poured, it's just stained with medicinal powder, and the plain blue fabric is a little white.

Lu Anran wanted to take a handkerchief and wipe it, only to remember that his handkerchief had just been used, and looked down for a while, planning to simply wet it and let the wind dry.

Wufang took a step forward, took out a handkerchief from the innermost part of his sleeve pocket, sucked some water in the wooden barrel and squeezed it dry, squatted down to wipe off the traces of the powder little by little.

Lu Anran lifted her skirt and helped Wufang up, "It's okay, the water stains will dry later." ”

Miss Everybody has been taught etiquette since she was a child, and she can't go out undressed, so the two of them found a clean place to sit down, and then returned to Yunfu when the skirt was dry.

Wufang folded the wet handkerchief and stuffed it back, Lu Anran swept something and grabbed her wrist.

The veil is light and elegant, as thin as cicada wings, and is made of precious green cicada wing fabric, although it is not as expensive as the gold brocade, but it is not available to ordinary people.

Looking closely, the handkerchief has been around for some years, and the embroidery thread has fallen off, just on the word 'Yan'.

Wufang followed Lu Anran's gaze on that word, and the fluctuations in his eyes flashed, and he quickly returned to his usual lifelessness.

Lu Anran unfolded, "Wrong needles, picking flowers, plate gold, shadow gold, and showing all over the ground." ”

Her embroidery is average, but Lu Xun has also found someone to carefully cultivate, and she can distinguish several embroidery methods used in the embroidery patterns on it at a glance.

Wufang stood up straight, her eyes drooped slightly, and the wind was hot in early summer, which could not warm her cold face.

"Your name?" Lu Anran's fingers rubbed the embroidered word, "Very good." ”

Wufang was silent for a long time, and replied: "A few years ago, before leaving home, my grandmother embroidered. ”

Lu Anran thought about it for a while, this was probably before the accident happened to Wufang a few years ago.

I don't know what I've experienced, which has created today's Wufang, but before that, she might just be just an ordinary lady.

As her name suggests, she is beautiful and beautiful.

"Grandma...... Lu Anran raised his eyes, "The old man who was innocently killed by Li He." ”

At the beginning, Yunqi told her that in addition to letting Wufang follow her because Yunqi was inconvenient, there was also the intention of Wufang to repay his kindness, in order to find out the real culprit for Lu Anran to her grandmother.

"That's all I left."

Wufang's voice was slightly cold, and there was no change in expression on his face, but Lu Anran heard countless bitterness from this sentence.

"I have a relic too." After Lu Anran folded the veil in pair, the side with embroidered words happened to be at the top, she looked up, her dark eyes reflected in the darker sky, "My mother left me a pair of tiger head shoes, before I was born. ”

Wufang's head moved, and his gaze turned to Lu Anran.

Lu Anran didn't have much sadness in her heart, maybe because she had never had contact with the woman who gave birth to her, she quietly looked at the night sky for a while, and sighed softly: "At least I have a thought." ”

Wufang pursed her lips, and after turning her face sideways, her chin looked sharp and cold, she thought that Lu Anran would ask something.

But there was really only this one sentence, and then Lu Anran stood up, his skirt was already dry, and he had no way to leave Yizhuang.

"Doesn't Miss ask something?" Wufang frowned and shouted.

Lu Anran turned his head, and there was still a trace of confusion between his eyebrows, "Do you want to say?" ”

There was no hesitation.

Lu Anran smiled lightly: "Then why should I talk more." ”

After walking for a while, Wufang's hand holding the sword tightened, and said, "The prince must have told you something about me, and the part that can't be said will not affect my loyalty to Miss." ”

Lu Anran stopped, looked at Wufang for a long time, put his hand on her shoulder, and said in a particularly solemn tone: "You are a person with a sense of independence, Wufang, of course you can decide any of your own things." ”

Surprise slipped through Wufang's eyes, she followed Lu Anran for a while, and she also believed in Lu Anran's personality, but there was never a moment that made her feel a sense of happiness.

"It is said that there is nothing important except life and death, but you and I have seen it, death is only an instant, the soul is withdrawn, and there is only a remnant body left in the world." Lu Anran and Wufang walked slowly, their voices calm and slow: "In fact, it is even more difficult to live, no one can fully understand another person's state of mind, so any good and bad must be digested alone in the end." Do you know the difference between talking and not talking? ”

Wufang didn't speak, just looked at it with questioning eyes.

The breeze floated, and the masked brocade cloth on Lu Anran's face rose and fell, like blue waves surging in the sea, lining her eyes with a calm and dark light, flashing with a keen light, "I really don't care, it's not hidden." ”

Wufang's mind was shaken, and his eyelids fell down, covering his eyes.

After that, neither of them spoke again, but there seemed to be an invisible silk thread, which narrowed the distance between them little by little, not to repay the favor, not to be the master and servant, and everything returned to the simplest starting point - only heart to heart.

—

Back in Yunfu's courtyard in Diqiu, Lu Anran still wanted to talk to Yunqi about his discovery in Yizhuang, but the secret guard who stayed on duty said that Yunqi had come back and gone out.

"I came back with the little marquis of Fengfu, and then the people of Fengfu picked up the little marquis, and our son went out with a girl."

Lu Anran's eyebrows moved, and before he could ask, a voice interjected, and said with great interest: "Where did the girl come from?" ”

Lu Anran turned around, Lu Taotao jumped in from the courtyard wall, grabbed an oiled paper bag in his hand, and his lips were purple-red, like a poisoning attack.

Lu Taotao pinched a mulberry in his mouth, and when he bit it, his mouth was purple and purple, his big eyes flashed, and he dragged the dark guard and asked happily: "Yunqi was seduced away by the little goblin?" ”

The secret guard hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, that girl looked at a serious person, and the prince seemed to say that she would help her find someone." ”

"What girl? Another girl hooked up with our son? Mo Yan came back from his errands, listened to it, looked left and right and asked.

If the secret guard hadn't covered his face, he would have been unable to hold back a long time ago, and his heart said who this is, "Mo Guard, it's not ......"

"No girls?"

"Yes is ......"

"That's not it."

Dark Guard: "......" has nothing to say.

It was Lu Anran who stepped out, glanced at the two of them, successfully shut up the two of them, and said to the dark guard: "Tell me more." ”

Dark Wei breathed a sigh of relief, he arrived in Diqiu County first, and he didn't go all the way with Yunqi, so he didn't know He He, but only roughly described Xia Hehe's appearance, and said: "There is a white cloth wrapped around his neck, as if he has been injured." ”

Lu Anran glanced at him more, and said in his heart that he was really a secret guard, and he would focus on the key points.

Lu Taotao immediately lost interest, and waved his hand, "Cut, who do I think, that little village girl who picks medicine." ”

Mo Yan looked around, "What about finding clear?" ”

"I went out with the son."

Mo Yan smashed his mouth, "It turns out that no one hooked up with the world." Glancing at Lu Anran, he was a little disappointed.

Wufang swept over coldly, Mo Yan shrunk his shoulders and jumped to the side, just next to Lu Taotao, "Eh, why did you come back and watch the moon?" ”

"Squatting in the deep mountains and old forests." Lu Taotao chewed on the mulberry and pouted, "It's all mosquitoes, I won't do it." ”

Mo Yan opened his mouth wide: "Are you really going to squat?" He thought that the prince had this order completely to fool Feng Tian, how could Guanyue come back after a casual walk.

Lu Taotao half-squinted, and said with a sympathetic smile: "Have you forgotten, ghosts only haunt at night." ”

Mo Yan suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing on his neck, and hurriedly hugged his arms.

—

Lu Anran changed his clothes and came out, Lu Taotao's mulberries were finished, and Mo Yan and Mo Yan were holding a bowl, and a strong smell of fried chives wafted out of the bowl.

"Would you like a bowl of miss?" Qiu Cicada was cleaning the courtyard, and when she saw Lu Anran, she came over and said, "Just now, the ink guard and the little girl Lu said that they were hungry, so I mixed a bowl of noodles for one of them." ”

Lu Anran originally thought it was okay, but when the smell turned in his nasal cavity, he was suddenly a little hungry, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Qiu Cicada said with a smile: "It's not troublesome, the noodles are all reconciled, and the sauce is prepared in advance, just put it in the pot directly, or it won't take much effort." ”

Lu Taotao hurriedly shouted: "Give me another bowl!" ”

Mo Yan bit his chopsticks and shook his head: "Just eat and don't grow, don't waste food." ”

Lu Taotao stepped on his foot, "Do you think you are very powerful, little chicken!" ”

The two didn't say a word and fought, and the noodle bowl was still firmly in their hands.

When Guanyue came back, he saw the noodles in Mo Yan's bowl flying out, and he leaned back one by one, and insisted on taking those noodles into his mouth.

Lu Taotao sat down cross-legged on the branch, saw the moon, and greeted: "Why are you back, stupid big man?" ”

Guanyue walked directly in front of Lu Anran, "Isn't the prince here?" ”

"I went out with He He."

Guanyue hissed in her heart, isn't the son of the world half-hearted, empathetic and don't fall in love, right?

silently looked at the change in Lu Anran's eyebrows, but accidentally met her dark eyes that she looked at calmly, and suddenly moved away with some embarrassment.

Guanyue covered her lips and cleared her throat, "Oh that, the prince came to inform him that there was a bandit leader hiding in that area, let us withdraw first, so as not to startle the snake." ”

Let's not talk about the identity of the prince, it is more practical to catch the bandits than the Yaksha's illusory and unsure truth.

Mo Yan took the last noodle, wiped his mouth, and said happily: "It's okay now, if a yaksha appears, either it gnaws the bandits, or the bandits slaughter it, and reaps the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Are you stupid?" Lu Taotao threw chopsticks and knocked on his head, "Yaksha eats a few ordinary people, and his mana soars, and he is not even afraid of the Sanqing god position, if he wants to swallow the bandits again, the evil qi is fused through, it is not heaven and earth, only I am the only one." ”

Guanyue endured the corners of her mouth without twitching, "Where do you know?" ”

Lu Taotao also has a set of crooked reasoning, "Devilish and ghostly, the evil spirit is unstoppable, otherwise you don't find out that the forest where the Yaksha appears is several miles away, and there is not even a beast." ”

They had been walking in the woods for a long time today, and at first they didn't feel it, but gradually they felt that something was wrong.

It stands to reason that there must always be some animals in the depths of such a forest, not to mention fierce beasts such as tigers and bears, and even rabbits are rare, which is really strange.

Mo Yan wiped off the sauce from the chopsticks on his head, rolled his eyes and said, "What's this, Yaksha eats it, it can even let go of small animals if it eats people?" ”

Guanyue couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about this question for the time being, "Mo Yan, what did you gain from going to the county office today?" ”

Mo Yan leaned on the tree with his head on his hands, picked a leaf, put it in his mouth and chewed it, "I really found it." ”
