Zhang Xiaoyu was very distressed, and Nandao was also distressed.

Just like Bai He said, there is never a big or small thing.

If it's about you, it's a big deal.

Nandao took the written letter and limped through the south of the city for a day, but could not find a postman who could deliver it to the East China Sea.

For the South Island, this is a big deal.

The letter couldn't be delivered, and Qiu Xi'er didn't know that she was thinking about her.

Then you might forget about yourself.

Nandao walked down the river in a depressed mood when she heard someone shouting to herself.

After looking around, I found that there was a familiar boat parked under the small bridge not far away, the head of the boat was stretched out under the bridge hole, and the girl mouse was sitting at the head of the boat to hide from the rain.

"I see you're a little sad, is there anything you need for a rat?"

Nandao walked over with an umbrella, and heard the rat sitting on the bow of the boat and grinning.

It's still a familiar taste.

Nandao stopped at the bridge, looked at the rats below, and asked, "How do you know again?" ”

Rat Rat smiled, raised his hand and pointed to the last line of words on the rag, and said, "Because Rat Rat has a hunch that there is money to be made." ”

Nan Dao sighed and said, "Your hunch is so accurate! ”

Rat Mouse said proudly: "Rat Mouse, I have been walking the world for many years, and I can see at a glance who needs help and who doesn't. ”

Nandao raised an eyebrow, looked at the rat and said, "Then guess what help I need today?" ”

The rat pretended to observe the South Island for a long time, and then said confidently, "You want to deliver a letter." ”

Nandao was stunned and looked at the rat in amazement.

"How do you know?"

The rat wanted to play tricks for a while, but when he saw Nandao's innocent expression, he laughed out loud and said, "Because I've seen you a few times before, and I've been asking others where I can send letters to the East China Sea, and what's wrong with your leg." ”

Nandao's face was a little hot, as if his little secret had been discovered, and he looked around to himself.

"It's okay, I fell a little, why hasn't the rain stopped today."

"It won't stop for a while." The rat rat bared half of his head under the bridge, sighed and said, "The rat is very sensitive to the weather, and it may rain these days." ”

"Okay." Nandao didn't expect the rat to answer this question seriously.

"So do you want to send your letter?" Rat Rat asked.

"Can you send it?"

"I can't, but I know many friends and they can."

"That's going to the East China Sea, not near Nanyi City." Nandao was afraid that the rats and rats would forget, so he emphasized it.

"I know, but rats have a lot of demon friends, and we used to run around together, but rats are trapped on the Nanyi River to do good deeds, and we can watch them run around." Rat said with a sad face, "I don't know when this day will be the end." ”

Rat Mouse's lamentation for a while, seeing that Nan Dao had been staring at him, he remembered what the two of them were talking about, patted his chest and said: "You can rest assured that you will hand it over to Rat Mouse, and when Rat Mouse's friends come back to play with Rat Mouse, Rat will ask them to help send it over." ”

Nandao hesitated for a while and said, "Is your friend reliable?" ”

Rat nodded.

Nandao hesitated for a moment, then took out the folded paper from his bosom, opened it and examined it for a while, then reached out from the bridge and handed it to the rat.

The rat subconsciously wanted to open it and take a look, and then as soon as he raised his head, he met Nandao's gaze, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." ”

Nandao sighed and said, "Just look at it, but you must remember to send it over, to the Grinding Sword Cliff....."

Rat Rat was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where?" ”

"Grinding Sword Cliff."

"No way!"

"Why not?"

"Gotta add money!"

"......," Nandao said after a moment of silence, "how much." ”

"Two pennies!"

The rat gritted his teeth.

Nandao looked at the rat rat and said, "Why are you so excited?" ”

"That's the Grinding Sword Cliff!" The rat said loudly, "Do you think it's going to those little sword sects in Lingnan?" ”

The people around me all watched.

Rat blushed and retracted into the cabin.

After a long time, he probed out again and stretched out his hand towards the bridge.

Nan Dao took out two pennies from his only little savings, stuffed them into the mouse's hand, and said uneasily: "It's still the old rule, if it doesn't work, I will take the money back, I'm a cultivator now, I'll tell you, it's very powerful." ”

Rat Rats sneered twice and said, "Okay, okay." ”

And so the deal was closed.

There the two stared wide-eyed.

Nandao thought for a moment and asked, "I still have a question that I have forgotten to ask." ”

"What's the problem?"

"Why can't you leave Nanyi River?" The South Island was curious.

The rat lamented and sat down again at the head of the boat, and said, "I don't know, anyway, that's what the old bastard who lacked a door told me - don't step on the riverbank, or your fate will be skewed." ”

"You also know, the rat is just a little demon, that old man is the top overhaul in the world, he said so, where do I dare to try."

Nandao was silent for a while, and he was also bluffed by the fortune operator, as if that person was talking like this kind of virtue, so that you didn't understand it, but you couldn't find anything wrong.

"Did you ask what your catastrophe was?" Nandao asked, looking at the rat.

The rat shook his head and said, "How dare I ask, I didn't expect to steal from him before stealing something, you said that a good one lacks a door master, don't stay in the temple, and want to run to the street to watch the rain, I see that his mirror is beautiful, so I want to steal it to comb his hair....." When the rat said this, he touched some messy hair under the felt hat, but he was a little shy. "I liked a little demon in Fengqiling at that time, and I thought about dressing up every day and then going to watch the sunset with him....."

The rat sighed and continued: "Then it was gone, I also wrote him a letter that day and asked Qingqing to bring it over - Qingqing is a friend of mine, a little kingfisher, and I will ask her to help deliver your letter to the East China Sea when the time comes." Unfortunately, after delivering the letter, I was arrested. I don't know if he will blame me for breaking the appointment. ”

The rat fell silent as he spoke, looking down at the river.

Nan Dao looked at the lost rat and rat, a little overwhelmed, thought about it, and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to be a sword cultivator demon?" ”

Rat Rat looked up at Nandao and asked strangely, "Is there a conflict between ideals and love?" ”

Nandao thought for a long time and said, "I don't know. ”

Rat Rat also thought about it for a long time.

But nothing more was said.

She didn't know.

The two looked at the rain for a long time, and Nandao smiled and said, "It's okay, he will definitely be waiting for you there." ”

Rat Mouse smiled reluctantly and said, "I wish he hadn't waited for me, and if he hadn't waited, there would be no resentment, and the longer he waited, the more he would blame Rat for his breach of appointment." ”

"It's better not to come."

Rat Mouse said to himself.

Nandao thought for a long time, as if this was indeed the case, so he didn't say any more, looked at the sky in the rain, and said, "It's not too early, I should go back." ”

"Okay."

The rat sat on the boat with his knees crossed and sat in a daze.

It wasn't until Nandao limped for a long time that the rat reacted.

Did you forget to ask him about his story again?

Forget it, forget it.

This time by all means.

......

When Nandao returned to the Hanging Courtyard, the rain was a little lighter, and the courtyard was full of dusk colors.

Mr. Mei was watching the rain under the eaves of the gatehouse, holding the stove.

Nandao walked over with an umbrella and whispered hello.

"Mr. May."

Mr. Mei seems to be in a better state these days, standing under the eaves with a slight smile on his face.

Beckoning Nandao to come over, considering that Nandao was a little inconvenient to move, Mr. Mei went back and wanted to move a chair out for Nandao to sit.

Nandao hurriedly refused.

"I'll be back later."

Seeing that Nandao insisted like this, Mr. Mei did not move out, put his arm on Nandao's shoulder, and said: "Remember to be careful next time you go downstairs, it looks like it's okay to fall when you're young, and it's easy to become an old problem in the future." ”

Nandao was silent for a while, and his mood was extremely complicated, so he turned his head and pretended to be watching the rain, and said softly, "I know." ”

"During this time, you still try to go out and walk around as little as possible, if there is something, let Chen He's kid help you, don't think that if you start practicing, you can be free to be presumptuous in the future, haven't you heard that there was a major repair in the Sword Cliff before, and you broke your leg and walked with a limp all your life? Don't use my crutches yet, you can pick up the crutches first. ”

Mr. May continued.

Listening to Mr. Mei's words, Nandao always felt that Mr. Mei seemed to have suddenly aged a lot.

It's starting to be a little babbling.

But the South Island didn't get bored.

I just feel guilty.

So he listened quietly, nodded very seriously, and said, "I listen to you." ”

Mr. Mei looked at Nandao a little strangely, "Why do I feel that something is wrong with you?" ”

Nandao was afraid that Mr. Mei would see that something was wrong, so he turned his head, looked at Chunyu and said with a smile: "After all, I fell down, and I should understand some truth." ”

When Mr. Mei heard this, he was quite relieved, nodded, and said, "Yes, yes, I hope that when Fluttershy grows up, she won't blame me." ”

"Why do I blame you?" Nandao was a little curious about this sentence, and remembered the conversation he had with Zhang Xiaoyu when Li Die was brought to the hospital to enroll.

Mr. May just shook his head and did not speak.

The two watched the rain quietly.

The dusk color gradually thickens in the sky, like a piece of sweet persimmon.

Mr. Mei patted Nandao's shoulder and said, "If it's okay, go back and rest early, and when Chen He comes, I will talk to him and ask him to help you more." ”

Nandao nodded, holding an umbrella and walking slowly on the trail with a sword.

Then I heard Mr. Mei say behind me, "If you are not busy with your cultivation after your leg is healed, you can come and talk to me." ”

Nandao was silent for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

Mr. Mei seemed to be smiling happily in the back.

Nandao didn't look back, limping through the rain with an umbrella.

Nandao still doesn't know whether it was right or wrong that he didn't tell the root cause of the snow in the first place.

So there was silence in the rain.

The pain is far heavier than a broken leg.
