Qin Ke shook his head, threw those messy thoughts out of his mind, and suddenly exerted force, and Cai Yan jumped and jumped beside him at once.

After the heavy rain washed the roof, although there were some more withered leaves, it also washed away the dust between the original tiles.

Cai Yan did not wear the dressing dress she wore when she came out of Cai's mansion before, but a very simple cotton cloth that Jing Yu bought back, and her long hair was simply sorted out by her, removing those expensive hairpins and jewelry, and there were no earrings on the earlobes.

She sat down very simply, clasped her hands on her knees, and seemed to care nothing about the water stains that remained on the roof.

The night sky after the rain was covered with heavy clouds, the moonlight was bright and starry, and her deep eyes were also reflected in the starlight sky, and her body was curled up like a lazy cat resting on the roof.

"Sit down. Come on, come and watch the stars with me for a while. Cai Yan asked calmly, "Are you ...... Can't sleep?"

Qin Ke smiled bitterly, picked up a dead leaf on Cai Yan's body, and sat down with the situation, saying, "I just heard a sound on the roof, so come up and take a look, who knows that it is you, the 'gentleman on the beam'." ”

Listening to Qin Ke's description, Cai Yan grinned, showed his white teeth, and said: "I'm very powerful, the roof of my house, I love to climb since I was a child, every time I am unhappy, I will hide on the roof, and the whole family can't find it." ”

"I see. Looking at her self-aggrandizing appearance, Qin Ke couldn't help but smile, "Skillful movements, light steps, if you can practice, you must be a female snitch." ”

"Isn't a female snitch bad?" Cai Yan squinted and smiled, "Or do you prefer me to be the eldest lady of the Cai family, who wears gold and silver every day, and commands with subordinates?"

"Of course not. Qin Ke knew that what she said "like" was not the kind of emotion between men and women, so she covered her mouth and smiled: "It's just a little accident, Cai's house is so high, you dare to climb, are you really not afraid of falling?"

"My dad said I was reincarnated as a wild cat. Cai Yan looked at the moon, "I haven't been afraid of heights since I was a child, and I have never fallen on the roof once." But then every time I went up to the roof, he was still as anxious as an ant in a hot pot, and he shouted for his subordinates to go up and catch me. ”

She wrinkled her nose proudly: "Where can they catch me? Everyone trembles on the roof, let alone run up to catch me...... That is, Kimber and my brothers are okay. By the way, you've met Kimber, right? He's an old servant of our family. ”

"I've seen it, I've seen it. Qin Ke nodded, thinking to himself that the seemingly indifferent old man of Cai's mansion concierge, in addition to guarding the door, also had another duty to go to the room to arrest his eldest lady?

"Actually, sometimes I just go up to the roof and look at the stars...... My mother, she had a strange disease when I was a child, and it couldn't be cured, and my father could only watch her weaken day by day. Cai Yan said: "On the night she died, I was only five years old, and I thought that my mother was just going to a far away place, and if she didn't take me there, she was very aggrieved and cried very sadly." My mother wiped away my tears and said to me, 'Little Yan'er, my mother is going to heaven...... But only adults can go to the sky, you are still young, you have to accompany your father and brothers, okay?' I said no, so she said, my mother just goes to the sky, not too far, you look at the stars in the sky, and when your mother goes to the sky, it will become one of them, when you look at the stars, you can see your mother, and your mother can also see you, okay?"

"I said yes that day. The breeze ruffled Cai Yan's hair, and she laughed softly, "So since then I have loved to look at the stars, even when I grow up, I know that people can't become stars, but I still like it." ”

Qin Ke nodded slightly, he didn't know that Cai Yan had such a past, looking at the stars in the sky, he said softly: "Actually...... The elders of my village also said that those who die will become stars in the sky. ”

"Do you believe it, aren't they all deceiving children?" Cai Yan grinned, "But...... When you are unhappy, look at the stars, and your heart will indeed be a lot quieter. ”

"What's upset about you?" Qin Ke looked at her side face, a little confused.

Cai Yan shook his head and said, "I'm just a little worried." ”

"Worried?" Qin Ke touched his head, "What are you worried about?"

Cai Yan turned her head, her eyes met Qin Ke, she read the confusion and confusion from those clear eyes, and at the same time understood that Qin Ke did not know about the chaos in the palace, in fact, it was her father Cai Yong's single-handedly planned.

She pursed her lips and smiled, "It's nothing, right...... Tell me, what did you encounter in the palace, and wouldn't it be interesting to sneak into the palace alone?"

Qin Ke was slightly stunned, thinking of everything in the palace, thinking of the old man, thinking of the dead mountain bandit, hehe laughed: "Interesting...... Where does this start, it's not funny, it's a lot of scare. ”

"Well......" Cai Yan thought for a while and said, "Then don't talk about this, say something else, continue what we didn't finish last time in Jiuxianju, Jing Wu and the Mo family still have Canghai, you can tell me about it." ”

"Jing Wu and Mo Jia......" Qin Ke began to have a headache again, in fact, the little thing in his stomach had already been said as early as when he was in Jiuxianju, after all, he was not Gao Yishui's kind of person who traveled the world and was well-informed, he was still basking in the sun on the ridge of Daoxiang Village in the summer, what did he use to comment on the general trend of the world?

But thinking about it this way, Qin Ke is not very good at refusing this kind of "request", so he can only try to dig out something from his already not very full mind, how exciting is it...... Compared to that day in Jiuxianju, it was actually a lot inferior.

Cai Yan didn't care much, just held his chin in both hands, looked at the starlight in the sky intently, nodded occasionally, and said "later", "next", "is there anything else...... Such words.

Today, she was obviously not very attentive, and later she simply let Qin Ke continue to speak, and she no longer responded, resting her head on her knees, looking at a starry sky in a daze, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was asleep.

There was a restless strand of hair on her forehead that fluttered slightly in the wind.

Qin Ke didn't know what was happening in the palace and the connection between Cai Yong, and Gao Yishui didn't have time to tell him.

But at least he slowly felt Cai Yan's eccentric appearance, with a worried heart.

He paused his narration and asked instead, "What if...... Do you have something on your mind, would you like to tell me about it?"

"Nope. Cai Yan was still curled up, his voice was flat, "That's it." ”

Qin Ke nodded, didn't speak again, just sat quietly with her, both of them looked up at the sky and were silent.

The cool wind at night passed through the gap between the shoulders of the two, and just when Qin Ke felt that the starlight in front of him was a little dim, and he was a little dazed and wanted to fall asleep, he suddenly felt a warm ball on his shoulder.

He turned his head in a daze, Cai Yan's long hair like satin trembled gently under the tip of his nose, cold, but not cold, but it made him itch.

"I'm a little cold. Cai Yan said angrily.

"Or else...... Go back to sleep, shall we?"

"Don't. ”

"So, then I'll go down and get the bedding?"

As he spoke, he was about to get up, but Cai Yan put his hand on his shoulder, shook his head and said, "Don't either." ”

Qin Ke looked at her serious eyes, didn't know what to say, and finally sighed, sat down peacefully, and volunteered to be a human-shaped pillow for her.

There are mountains outside the city of Ding'an, stretching for hundreds of miles, it is an excellent place for the nobles to hunt in the city of Ding'an, over the years, with the urgency of the war, the Tang Kingdom has gradually risen the style of martial arts, and the number of natural hunting is also increasing more and more.

It's just that in such a big night, and there has just been a heavy rain, naturally no one will run out to hunt in the cold wind at such a time, so under the light of the stars, this mountain is rarely dyed with a piece of tranquility and peace.

Although the pouring rain can extinguish the flames and cool the body temperature, it cannot crush the weeds swaying in the wind in the wilderness.

These stubborn and tenacious creatures have been multiplying in this land for an unknown number of years, and even in the dry season, they are still rooted in the land and refuse to die.

At this moment, they are thriving with the moisture of rain and dew, dancing with the falling dew in the starlight of the sky.

There are deer licking the weeds that grow on the land, and it looks leisurely.

But soon, the sound of iron hooves shattered the dew and crushed the upright weeds, and the smoke and horses' hooves mingled into a torrent and rumbled over them, and the wild deer fled in terror and ran into the woods......
