Chapter 29 [Basho Night Rain]

In the dead of night, the sky is clear, and the stars and moon are shining.

Tonight, the eaves of the courtyard are full of colorful lanterns, and all the rooms are also lit with oil lamps, and the stars, moons, and lights shine brightly, and the courtyard is almost the same as in the daytime.

After Mu Haotian and the snow warbler and the swift left the hall door, they felt their eyes light up, and immediately looked around.

The squire's side courtyard used to receive Dingzhen Daxian and his entourage can be described as ingenious, although it is not very luxurious, but on the whole, it is wide and sparse, heaven and earth are four-fold, and the house railings are vermilion lacquer, and the eaves of the bucket arch look antique.

The layout of the wing courtyard is in the shape of "Hui", sit in the north and look south, open the gate in the south, the hall and the main living room of the courtyard are the north side, there is a row of wing rooms on the east and west sides, connect with the verandah, and there is a garden in the center.

The garden is lush with plants and trees, flowers are clustered, and between the small ponds and clear waters, there are rockeries and stacked stones, and the end is a health place with an elegant environment and a comfortable and leisurely place.

Earlier, the crowd surrounded and hurriedly entered the hall, but they didn't have time to enjoy it, and at this moment the three-person verandah watched the scenery, but they felt indescribably comfortable.

The swifts moved their noses slightly, sniffing all the way, their eyes swept back and forth, paying attention to the flowers planted in the garden. It's a pity that the flowers are fragrant and fragrant, and the flowers are colorful, but they are all ordinary varieties, and they can't get into her eyes, and I can't help but feel a little lost in my heart.

Mu Haotian saw the elegance of the garden, turned his head and looked at it:

"I don't know which room Jingling they went to, or they shouted out and talked about the sky together."

The snow warbler pointed diagonally:

"The three of them are over there, they should all be asleep by now."

Swift smiled:

"They go to bed early every night, and it's strange to say that these three little guys can sleep so well when they do a lot of robbery on weekdays."

Mu Haotian looked at the past according to the snow warbler, and the rooms opposite were all brightly lit, but the one in the most corner was dark, and he couldn't help but wonder:

"Do three people live together?"

The snow warbler's lips were opened, and the swift had already said first:

"That's right! They are sisters and brothers, and their relationship is very good! It's like our Senior Brother Mu, who said that he was a childhood sweetheart, and he didn't guess anything, but the truth, since he was twelve years old, he shouted all day long, 'grow up, grow up', and learned what the book said, 'men and women don't kiss', and never lived with us again. ”

The resentment in the words is obvious.

Listening to his junior sister seriously imitate her tone back then and say, "Grow up, grow up", Mu Haotian couldn't help but blush, remembered the embarrassing thing when he grew up, and snorted, but suddenly his naughty heart rose, and he said in a humorous way:

"So Senior Sister Yan'er, do you want us to be as close as brothers and sisters, or as close as brothers and sisters?"

Swift was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said:

"Phew! Senior brother, you are not ashamed. ”

After speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and his face was blushing.

The snow warbler on the side obviously wanted to be with her sister, lowered her head slightly, and suddenly noticed that Senior Brother Mu's cat-like gaze jumped on her, her cheeks were dizzy, her heart was fluttering, and she couldn't help thinking:

"If Senior Brother asks me, then how should I answer?"

"Let's go over there!"

Mu Haotian said that Shuangshu's heart was full of tides, and he was shy, but he was unconscious. In a blink of an eye, I saw that the plantain in the corner of the garden was united, as lush as a giant umbrella, graceful with the wind, and as soon as my heart moved, I immediately beckoned the two to go there.

When I got closer, I saw that the plantain tree was tall and broad-leafed, verdant, with purple-red flowers and leaves dotted in between, adding to the vitality, and the trunk was densely stacked with many short and full tooth fruits, which looked very good.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and a dusty old thing came to their minds.

Swift Tunnel:

"After Senior Sister Ting'er left, the banana tree in our yard never bloomed such a beautiful flower again......"

The three of them fell silent.

After a while, Mu Haotian said:

"Have you noticed that Senior Sister Ting'er has changed a lot?"

Swift answered:

"Yes, Senior Sister has become stronger, after all, she has experienced such a thing...... He wandered out alone for several years. ”

Mu Haotian shook his head and was noncommittal, but he couldn't figure it out himself, so he didn't say anything more.

"Autumn evening cold fasting, a little sorrow, dreaming of banana rain ......"

The snow warbler opened her hand to caress a banana leaf, read a poem softly, her eyes were filled with moisture, and said:

"Sister Ting'er used to love to listen to the sound of rain hitting plantains, she sat alone in front of the window, listening and watching, she couldn't help but cry. At that time, she was so gentle and delicate, so sentimental...... Obviously life is worry-free, and he is happy with his sweetheart, but he always likes to recite such sad verses. ”

Swift said angrily:

"The 'peony red contains three paths of rain, and the plantain green soaks a stream of clouds', which is still hanging in her room to this day."

At the mention of this, the snow warbler suddenly choked up:

"Do you remember the story of the martyrdom of the banana girl? Once, after telling me this story, my sister said, "For a woman, if she can't give her body and mind intact to her beloved, it's like a flower that lacks color, and the sachet no longer has a fragrance, life has no meaning, and life is boring." I always felt that she was right, but I never thought that such a tender person as she would suffer such a miserable catastrophe......

In the end, I couldn't cry anymore.

Swift took out a handkerchief and wiped her sister's tears, sighed, and said intermittently:

"Senior Sister and Senior Brother Cheng Chen of Tianwu Zhenggangmen should be a pair made in heaven...... Senior Brother Cheng Chen is really a good person, even after that incident, he never gave up on his senior sister, comforted her intimately, and did not mind that she was no longer perfect...... It's just that the senior sister herself can't let go of these after all, and she hates the master's fear and retreats, and she washes her face with tears all day long without saying a word, and finally ...... on a rainy night Say goodbye without saying goodbye. ”

It was easy for the snow warbler to stop crying, and when she heard that the jade bead was almost broken here, she said slowly:

"Actually, the master is also to protect us, if he came out at that time, whether he can save the senior sister is not to say, we are afraid that there will be no peace from now on."

Yuyan was not convinced when she heard this, and wanted to count down the master, but Mu Haotian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth:

"This matter is indeed something that the master did not do right, although our Dao Xuanwu Extreme Mountain is small, there is no one who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"

The words were said loudly, and Swift was so excited that she echoed it, and finally said hatefully:

"In the final analysis, it's all to blame for the insidious and vicious, inferior pigs and dogs, the most disgusting old ghost in the world! When I have the opportunity one day, I must kill him with a sword to help my sister get angry. ”

When it comes to this culprit, all three of them grit their teeth.

Mu Haotian couldn't wait to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, his face was like condensing ink, and he said in a straight voice:

"Someday, I will condemn this fang!"

"Want to kill the old ghost of Xishan? That's not going to be easy, you have to live and practice well. ”

As soon as Mu Haotian's words fell, a faint voice sounded immediately.

The three of them were taken aback, turned their heads to look, and found that Senior Sister Mu Ting had come to Zuo Near at some point.

The clear and bright light is reflected, and the body under the dark green cloak is swaying, charming and flawless. After she stopped, she raised her head slightly, and stared at the banana tree quietly, her face as flat as water, as if nothing had happened.

The three of them knew very well that what Fang Cai said must have aroused the sad past of the senior sister, and they were worried one by one, shouting one after another:

"Senior Sister ......"

"Sister Ting'er......"

Mu Ting smiled in return, still admiring the plantain, gentle and lovely, and couldn't see any emotional changes.

Shuangshu one left and one right, holding Mu Ting intimately.

Mu Haotian also took two steps closer and said:

"Senior sister, have you finished talking to Master about business?"

Mu Ting nodded lightly:

"After talking, your master said that he was tired and wanted to rest early."

The three of them all noticed that the senior sister deliberately said "your master", and they thought that she had not had a pleasant conversation with the master, and still failed to untie the knot.

Mu Haotian glanced at the hall, and just saw Master Mu Dingzhen turn off the lights and close the door, looked east and west, and found that there were people here, but he didn't come over, and he didn't enter the main living room on the side, but walked to the west chamber and entered the next room of the Jingling sisters and brothers.

This made Mu Haotian feel strange, generally speaking, the wing courtyard with such a layout is mainly due north, east is long, and west is the end, this is the truth that all children understand, so Jing Ling consciously took her two younger brothers to the west chamber.

Although cultivators don't pay much attention to these things, with Master's temper, they must be allowed to live in the main living room, so how can they rank the last West Chamber?

was speculating to himself, and suddenly heard Senior Sister Mu Ting say to him:

"Tian'er, I have a few words, I want to talk to Ying'er and Yan'er, do you want to listen together?"

Mu Haotian was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw the smile on Mu Ting's face, and then realized that she had said it again, and she didn't hear it, so she suddenly said in embarrassment:

"No, no! Senior sister, then you talk slowly, I'll go to the room first. ”

It's better to listen less to the topic of my daughter's house!

Mu Haotian remembered his master's teachings, turned around to say goodbye, and made a big face at Shuangshu before leaving, causing Yuyan to secretly pinch him.

I found a room in the east chamber casually, and after entering the door, I glanced at it, but I felt that the layout was elegant and tidy, so I closed the door, found a Taishi chair, and leaned on it with a big smile, and took a few breaths.

After days of living in the mountains, always on guard against evil things, I was finally able to release my burden and take a good rest. Coupled with the happy events of the day, I took a break at this moment, relaxed my whole body, and my spirit was greatly relaxed.

Without moving, he didn't want to think for a moment, Mu Haotian's heart flashed, he got up and shook his spirits, took out the tightly hidden "Yaoyue Star Map" from his arms, and slowly stroked the brocade silk wrapped outside with one hand.

With a slight hesitation, I didn't open it again.

The flames of the oil cup were beating lazily, and the shadows were one after another, and Han Wenjing's beautiful face seemed to flash in the flames.

"I don't know if she's okay now......

Although it was a meeting in Pingshui, Mu Haotian couldn't help but worry about the girl.

And once he thinks about it deeply, even if he has always been optimistic and open-minded, and can comfort himself with various karma and blessings, but in the end, the word "Long Family" is always pressed heavily on his chest, making him breathless.

After getting up and pacing for a long time, he was a little upset, put away the sundries on his body, and lay down on the bed with his clothes closed, and suddenly thought:

"That's right! She just asked my name, but I was humble and unknown...... Even if she gets out of this predicament, how can she come to me?"

In his heart, he remembered the loneliness and coldness of the night rain on the lonely mountain, and the rain seemed to come over time and space, floating in his heart, slowly condensing into ice:

"Isn't it true that I will never have a chance to see her again in this life?"
