She ...... is so open, and she is really a rare woman. Okra said, "So you...... Consistent...... I don't care about anything. ”

That's not what I said. Shen Fengming smiled, "If you really don't care about anything, it's not interesting - my mother means, since she said that those who don't take you to heart are not worth your attention, but there are always worthy people in this world - for example, the Mrs. Xiang in front of me, don't say 'care', that is, when she laughs and moves, my heart beats so much." ”

"Again...... What nonsense?" Okra said, "Then then—your mother didn't bring anything soft, but she brought you, what are you going to do?"

"I'm not so sad as I thought, compared to other orphans and widows, my mother at least has martial arts, and she won't suffer me. ”

"Then why did you go to Heizhu, didn't you...... Do you want to avenge your father, so you intentionally go?"

"It's not. Shen Fengming heard her ask about this, and suddenly showed a little tiredness, "That's a long story, it's too late, I'm not in the mood to say it." Then he reluctantly turned over and said, "You really don't sleep?—— I really asked you." You see it's hard for me to move right now, and you're afraid of what I'm going to do to you?"

It was about that the charcoal fire in this house was too hot, and okra's cheeks and head were hot for a while, so he grabbed the wooden hairpin on the table and threw it at him, "You have never known how to make inches, and I will still believe you half a sentence?"

Before Shen Fengming could speak, Okra hurriedly said: "If you talk about this again, I will return to Lin'an as soon as dawn, and I won't see you again!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say. Shen Fengming finally groped for Mu Hai on the bed, as if he was a little tired, his head returned to the pillow and sank for a while, and Fang sat up with all his might. Okra was taken aback, "What are you doing when you get up?" Having said that, he unconsciously approached the head of the bed and reached out to help him.

"I went back anyway. Shen Fengming was a little surprised, "You've seen through me—what's the fun of staying here?"

"Can't you be serious for a moment?" Okra felt that the chill on his body had not completely disappeared, and the quilt was still draped over his shoulders, "You just- just rest here? Why is it so much trouble." ”

As she spoke, she suddenly met two fires in Shen Fengming's eyes, and her consciousness suddenly emptied, as if the whole person had fallen into something strange. "Don't you ......," she panicked. Shen Fengming would actually use the pupil technique in the "Yin Yang Translocation" on her without warning, she didn't know what he was going to do to her. He who has lost all his strength, of course, will not have the slightest resistance, and the residual mind can still sense a few movements and words from him, but his body can't move at all, as if he is bound by the gods.

"Okra," she heard him laugh and sigh, "and if I spend the night with you, I won't get anything...... Tsk, it's bleak to think about. ”

Okra's eyes went blank, her consciousness became more and more blurred, her words and laughter gradually turned into a distant nothingness, and the words that followed could no longer be heard clearly. She felt his hand linger on her face for a moment, then up to the top of her hair. She couldn't feel what he was doing, her consciousness seemed to be withdrawn, as if time had broken out in this moment.

The broken light should not last long. When she was awake, she found herself sitting on the couch, and the door was wide open, and Shen Fengming was no longer there. The room was still so warm, the heat didn't have time to dissipate, the lamp was still burning on the table, and even the oil didn't go down. - Shen Fengming probably just didn't want her to be entangled and embarrassed, so he used illusion to trap her for a very short time, or did he actually want to tell her - if he really wanted to "get an inch", he didn't even have to use force?

She hurried to the door, but Shen Fengming really didn't go far. The porch was gloomy enough for her to see him wrapped in a quilt and leaning on a wooden railing, moving slowly and staggeringly. "Y-can you go!" she tried to chase after her. Shen Fengming half-turned around, "Don't come over, don't follow." I couldn't tell if the tone was joking or serious.

Okra stopped. "But you ......"

"I don't care. Go back. Remember to have the brazier brought to me. ”

Okra let out a soft "oh", watching him turn to the south building a little bit, knowing that he didn't have to, but he felt guilty. "Shen Fengming!" she called out to him suddenly.

Shen Fengming turned his head to look at her.

"I ...... I'm not actually ......" she stopped talking, "I'm just ......"

"I understand. Shen Fengming said, "Go back." ”

Okra stood without moving, and after a long time, he realized that his heart was beating so fast, and his whole body was as red and hot as fire. He said he understood what she meant.

- "I'm not unkind to you. I just have some scruples after all. ”

- Did he really understand?

------

After the brazier was removed, the night was cool and squeezed in little by little, and the burning heat in the room gradually subsided, and the soberness really suppressed the chaos in my heart. Okra straightened out the slightly messy bed, did not look for the wooden hairpin that was thrown by herself, and sat on the edge of the bed unconsciously, as if she was lost. Shen Fengming said that old things have the meaning of old things, and she now guesses that the hairpin, the pearl, and the fluorescent music score may have something to do with his mother. He was dissatisfied with her for throwing it around so indiscriminately, so he took it away, but—how much she cared in her heart, only she knew.

Since the beginning of her life, she has also been wearing a wooden hairpin - even if she has tried many hairpins in the Suzaku Mansion, she is still used to old things. At this time, she was depressed, she silently faded her hairpin, got up and waited to put it on the dressing table, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something, and her heart moved suddenly-on the dressing table, the old thing that was older than herself was clearly still there.

Her mind was just like the tide that had been lost and receded to the bottom suddenly rose again, and she was so happy that Shen Fengming still left it here. Compared to this, she was not even prepared to dwell on the past in it, and she was not ready to think about why he had sent it. Even if all the answers weren't what she was expecting, she at least — had admitted that she had expectations.

"Senior Sister Bai......" She clenched the things in her hand, and for some reason, the person she wanted to talk to at this time was still the senior sister who had never met and only felt that she could understand herself. Maybe it was the feeling of that night when she came back, and she wanted to find a void person to confide in this familiar but strange heart, "It turns out that we are really too paranoid. It turns out that there are really peaks and loops in this world. ”

-------

The return trip was finally scheduled for two days later. Okra knew that Shen Fengming was in order to hurry as quickly as possible, so he only went first with her. He disbanded the groups of Heizhu's "Shuangqin Expedition" on the spot, and even the people of Heizhu, including Wu Tiantong and the others, if they wanted to return to Beijing, they only had to wait for their injuries to go on their own. She thought about staying here herself for a few more days, so as not to slow him down, but after much consideration, she decided to return to Lin'an with him—at least, in front of the thorn, in front of Jun Li, she felt that she should say a few words for him. What's more, she can't do anything unintentionally, and she, like Shen Fengming, is also uneasy.

Feng Qingkai did everything he could to keep it, and also mentioned that okra had severe internal injuries this time, so he rested for three or four days, and it was not suitable to travel far, and in addition, in the matter of rebuilding Yunmeng in Dongting Mountain, even if Shen Fengming asked Jinghui to temporarily act on behalf of the sect leader, Lingyin should not be left alone. Of course, okra declined this kindness, saying that Feng Qingkai had claimed to be in Lingyin when he was in the meeting of the three branches, and later carefully learned a few pieces of Lingyin's piano music, and he thought that he would be half a Lingyin person - it was better to ask him to come forward, not counting this one's absence.

Of course, this is an excuse, but it is enough for Feng Qingkai to make up her mind, so she has to give up. However, I happened to hear that Shen Fengming and Jinghui agreed that at the latest spring of the next year, they would always return to Dongting with okra, and I still had some expectations in my heart.

Of course, Shen Fengming didn't forget to meet Guan Mo and Mo Shi again. There is no need to be disturbed by the inconvenience of words, and in less than half an hour, everything that should be said will be finished. At this point, he was beginning to believe that maybe he might as well understand the loss as Guan Mo. The latter may indeed be greedy for life and afraid of death, and he does have the heart to seize the phantom life and even Yunmeng, but in terms of friendship with Guan Mo - even if he said in private that he was willing to kill Guan Mo, this may not be true. Guan Mo has not been able to speak for many years, but the snow in his heart is far beyond ordinary people, if Mo is not worth his friendship, he should have seen it clearly.

In this way, Shen and Qiu entered Xiangshui from Dongting, relaxed a little for a day or two, and then abandoned the boat and rode a horse, although they did not dare to call the horse fast, day and night, at least they also stayed overnight without delay. Rao was like this, and it took eight days before he finally entered the realm of Lin'an Mansion.

At this time, it was already the scene of Shen Shi, and before entering the city, the two of them first saw the mud man ridge in the southwest suburbs. "Jun Li may not be in Hoututang," Shen Fengming said, "I'll go and take a look, you go to the city first, and wait for me at Qingbo Gate." ”

Okra nodded in response, and he rode his horse first. It is not easy to walk on that ridge, and her current physical strength must be difficult to go up the mountain, so she does not ask to go with her. She wanted to open her mouth and tell him that she was back in the capital, and there was no need to rush to this time, and it was not too late to go back to the city first. It's just that when she saw Shen Fengming like this, she didn't say anything - Shen Fengming, a person who talked so much, didn't say a few words all day, and she could feel that his heart was still very heavy.

She hesitated, did not enter the city, followed the traces of his horse's hooves and grass also reached the foot of the mud man ridge, and saw that Shen Fengmingguo left the horse here, so she got down and led the two horses to drink water together.

After waiting for more than half an hour, I saw Shen Fengming coming down the mountain. "I'd like to wait for you here. Okra didn't wait for him to ask, "If he is here, don't you have to explain to him that you can't enter the city after dark for half a day." ”

Shen Fengming smiled bitterly, "It's a pity that he's not here." "It doesn't feel like it's good." ”

Okra also got on the horse, "What, what's the matter?"

"Houtu Hall - I see that most of it has been built. Shen Fengming said, "I asked, Jun Li has been living here a few days ago, but he hasn't been here for the past three or two days, and he only sent Wuying to say that he was not in the mood to come." ”

"When something like this happens, he always has to accompany the stabbing more and more, which is also reasonable. "Don't think too much about it, it was not your fault." ”

"You don't have to comfort me. Shen Fengming said, "I'm just thinking about how to make the thorn feel better." ”

Okra was silent for a long time, and Fang said: "Then I don't comfort you - the mourning of your loved ones is unbearable, only by relying on the days to calm down, you-you have always felt the same way here." ”

Shen Fengming was silent for a while, and stopped talking.

- Even after a long time, sometimes it may not be able to calm down.
