In the bamboo forest.

Gong Qianzhu sat on a stone in the forest, holding the snow-white fox fur she had washed, her eyes lowering and not knowing what she was thinking, and the mottled bamboo shadow shone on her through the gap in the leaves.

It's just that today's sunshine ...... It's not as glaring as it was yesterday.

How warm a person is......

Sometimes, she often dreams that in the dense forest, hares chase and play in the meadows, sika deer bow their heads to draw water at the water's edge, several huge elephants stand in the water to bathe, and from time to time sprinkle water on each other with their long trunks, and a man in a clean moon-white robe sits on a stone by the river, the sun is so dazzling that he can't see his face clearly, only to see a gentle smile on his lips, smiling at the two children beside him.

The two children, a boy and a girl, sat in the mud and played, their bodies covered with mud, and their white little faces could only see the eyes, which were extremely bright, as if they carried the brightest crystal in the world. The girl accidentally fell to the ground and began to cry, the man in white got up from the stone and walked slowly to her side, the girl seemed to feel a thick and warm palm in the cry to wipe away the tear cement on her face little by little, and opened her eyes from the blur of tears, only to see the clean moon white.

This feeling is as warm as a giant, and no matter where she goes, she will always be by her side.

Like a father......

Gong Qianzhu's nose was a little sour, she had never seen her father, to be exact, she might not even have parents, since she could remember, she had lived in the Heavenly Palace with her sister Gong Xuanyue. In fact, she has never had the favor of her parents, so she feels that it is no big deal, but the appearance of Sima Changyuan seems to have stimulated the longing for her parents that has been hidden in her heart for so many years, and she is faintly aggrieved and sour.

Sima Changyuan, Sima Changyuan......

"Flower girl, what are you talking to yourself?"

A frivolous and casual voice sounded from the top of his head, Gong Qianzhu was startled, looked up and saw that it was An Siyi, and subconsciously wanted to frown and leave and felt rude, so he only spoke: "What flower girl......"

"Oh, didn't you call yourself Hua Xiaozhu last time?" An Siyi held an emerald green and transparent jade flute in his hand and smiled wantonly.

"My name is Gong Qianzhu. She looked up at him and made a serious statement.

An Siyi didn't mind much: "Okay, Master Qianzhu, what are you doing here alone?"

"It's none of my uncle's business. Her tone was a little unkind, but as soon as she said it, she regretted it, she was rude to her uncle again, if she let her master know......

An Siyi raised his eyebrows: "What, are you still angry with last time? Just kidding, don't be so serious." ”

"As an uncle, you shouldn't tease your nephew like this. Gong Qianzhu said seriously and adjusted his tone.

An Siyi was a little innocent: "I just heard that Senior Brother has accepted a new apprentice, and I came to see it out of curiosity, and I didn't want to make you angry." I heard the disciples say that you have always had a good temper, and it is a great cause to be able to make you angry like this, and I am afraid that it will not work without damaging some treasures - let's give you this jade flute. ”

The emerald jade flute that he had been holding in his hand was handed to her, Gong Qianzhu hesitated, this is a good opportunity for reconciliation, since everyone has pulled down their faces and taken the initiative to show goodwill, she has no reason to refuse: "Thank you, uncle." ”

"It's okay, but I gave you something, shouldn't you return the favor?"

Gong Qianzhu frowned a little distressedly: "But I don't seem to have prepared any gifts." ”

An Siyi leaned against a bamboo, smiling indiscriminately.

"It's okay, then you can give me the silver flute. ”

Gong Qianzhu hurriedly covered the silver flute in his sleeve: "No, this is what my sister gave me before." Or...... I don't want this jade flute, I'll be okay with you......"

An Siyi smiled with a smile on his face: "How can you take back the gift you gave out?"

is really called the first scoundrel son of Jiuge, Gong Qianzhu is speechless.

"If not...... This jade pendant is given to you, although it is not as big as your jade flute, but the color is also excellent. Gong Qianzhu looked unhappy and took off a light brown jade pendant from his waist, which was carved with a blooming lotus flower. Woo, this is her favorite jade pendant.

"Then I'll take it. An Siyi finally stopped making things difficult for her and took it.

Gong Qianzhu breathed a sigh of relief, refolded the unfolded snow-white fox fur, and got up in his arms: "Then I'll go first." ”

"Hey, we've reconciled like this, right?"

Gong Qianzhu stopped, looked at the sky and exhaled. That's it, let go of the previous suspicions, and the master will be very happy.

"Of course, we'll be friends from now on. ”

"Since we're friends, let's go have a couple of drinks, shall we?"

Gong Qianzhu: "......"

My sister used to be right, Jiang Shang's nature is difficult to change, and she actually wants to be friends with him, it's really stupid.

Gong Qianzhu looked back at him with an expression of rotten wood that could not be carved, and left silently with the fox fur in his arms.

An Siyi stood in place, watching her white-clothed figure gradually blend into the blue sea and clouds in the distance, shrugging her shoulders a little innocently.

"This time, I really didn't do anything. ”

·

Gong Qianzhu hugged the fox Qiu and went straight back to Xiuzhuju, and as soon as she pushed open the courtyard door, she saw Mozi, who was dressed in a blue robe, with his back to her, standing under the peach blossom tree with his hands in his hands. At the stone table in the courtyard, the man in Tsing Yi sat very elegantly like a spring breeze.

He held a cup of fragrant tea in his hand and looked at her with a faint smile from the heat.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked at Mo Zili, who was facing away from her, and said tentatively: "Master...... You're looking for me?"

It's strange, didn't the master ask her to copy the door rules a hundred times? She only copied them twenty-two times, why did she come to her?

"Hmm. Mo Zili turned around slowly, his cold eyes staring at her, "I've found the next contractor." ”

"Ah, is there another task so soon?" Gong Qianzhu was surprised, she had only been back to Jiuge for two months, and at this rate, my sister would be able to wake up soon, right?

"Yes, there is still a month for you to go out of the mountain, and in this month, you don't have to go to class anymore, you go to the bamboo forest every day to practice the sword, and the teacher will teach you personally. ”

"Could it be...... Won't Master go with Xiaozhu this time?"

"Xiaozhu, you have to learn to be independent after all, you can't accompany you to do everything as a teacher, last time Jiangcheng happened, you should have some understanding of Jiulizhan, so this time I won't accompany you as a teacher." ”

"But...... But ......" Gong Qianzhu bit her lower lip, did she want to go on a mission alone so soon?

"You don't have to worry, Sima Gongzi will happen to go down the mountain to investigate the movements of demons in the world in a month, so you will walk with him by the way, and the teacher will always pay attention to you with the Xuanwu Mirror. ”

"Sima Gongzi...... Accompany me down the mountain?" Gong Qianzhu was a little surprised, and hesitantly looked at the man in Tsing Yi sitting at the stone table.

Sima Changyuan got up from the stone table, walked up to her, leaned down slightly and smiled gently: "Your name is Gong Qianzhu, right?"

"Hmm...... Well, by the way, this fox fur belongs to Childe, right? Give it back to you, thank you last time. Gong Qianzhu hurriedly stuffed the fox fur in his arms to him, and said crampedly.

Sima Changyuan took it with a faint smile, and then asked her, "So, is it okay for me to call you bamboo?"

"Ahh
