Chapter 45: Blossom (11)
Ah Xiao remembered the black dragon she saw on her back at that time, she hurriedly walked to the mirror, gently took off her clothes, and sure enough, a black dragon hovering her body was imprinted on her back.
Ah Xiao carefully studied the mark, and suddenly found that something was wrong, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she remembered that when she first saw this mark, the black dragon was not in such a soaring posture at the moment, but lay down as if sleeping.
Could it be that it is alive?
Ah Xiao couldn't help but guess, but soon, this unrealistic idea was dispelled, she shook her head, reminded herself not to think too much, and then put on her clothes, walked to the table and sat down cross-legged.
Ah Xiao picked up the pen and wanted to draw the dragon in the dream, but the door of the bedroom suddenly opened, because the shadow of the nightmare lingered in her mind, she was startled, and the hand holding the pen couldn't help but break the brush alive.
Luan Yiran walked into the bedroom with the decocted medicine, and saw that Ah Xiao was awake and sitting upright at the table, she hurriedly ran over with broken steps.
"Ah Xiao, you're awake!" Luan Yiran sat next to Ah Xiao, put the medicine bowl in her hand in front of her, and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Seeing her worried look, Ah Xiao couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in her heart, she shook her head, gently hooked the corners of her mouth, and showed a hint of an imperceptible smile.
Luan Yiran saw the smile on Ah Xiao's face, although it was very small, she saw it, and she could see it clearly! The worry in her heart was instantly swept away.
Luan Yiran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you are fine, I saw you fall into the spirit pool just now, and suddenly screamed, almost scared us to death, and I thought you were injured somewhere." ”
Ah Xiao glanced at her lightly and shook her head lightly again, "I'm fine." ”
Luan Yiran sighed, with a hint of anger on her face, and said angrily: "It's all to blame for that dog's strange situation, it's okay to find trouble, Ah Xiao, why don't we go and tell Qingmingjun, you are his own apprentice, he knows, and he will definitely be angry for you." ”
Ah Xiao was cold and hurriedly shook her head: "Forget it, I don't need him to be angry for me." ”
"Why?" Luan Yiran wondered, Ah Xiao, Bai Yichen, Fei Yang, Chen Yuchen and Mu Yangsheng, they were more than a little angry today, Ah Xiao was also injured, and he couldn't get over it without giving that guy a little color!
Ah Xiao hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "He's just a master." ”
It's just that Master, not a relative, he won't help her, and she doesn't need anyone's help.
"Okay......" Luan Yiran nodded, Ah Xiao's speech was always unpredictable, but she didn't ask too much, supervised Ah Xiao to drink the medicine, and the two turned off the lights and fell asleep.
In the early morning, before the sun had fully risen, the light in a bedroom was turned on, Luan Yiran was woken up by the sound of turning in the house, she opened her eyes in a daze, only to see a figure walking around behind the screen, she was startled, and hurriedly got out of bed and ran over.
"Ah Xiao?" Luan Yiran looked at Ah Xiao with a blank face in front of her, her eyes were flustered, and she hurriedly ran around the house, constantly rummaging around the corner, as if she was looking for something.
Ah Xiao rummaged around the table and asked nervously, "Have you seen my pendant?" ”
"What pendant?" Luan Yiran asked suspiciously, and hurried over to help her find it.
Ah Xiao was so anxious that she was about to cry, "It's the pendant that fell out on the road last time I went to bed." ”
Since the first two times she accidentally dropped the pendant, Ah Xiao didn't dare to wear it close to her body for fear of breaking it again, so she put it in the burden at the head of the bed, and checked it every day when she got up and went to bed, but when she got up this morning to check, the pendant was gone.
"Didn't you wear it close to your body?" asked Luan Yiran.
Ah Xiao's action of flipping things stopped, and she was like this, and she was suddenly a little unsure, but she remembered that the last time she saw the pendant was in the bag, she shouldn't be mistaken......
Luan Yiran patted her shoulder gently and comforted: "It's okay, I'll help you find it, you won't lose anything in the house." With that, she got up and walked to the other side, rummaging through it earnestly.
The bell of Chenshi came from above the Ling'an Hall, and before I knew it, two hours passed, and Luan Yiran and Ah Xiao turned over all the corners of the bedroom, but they found nothing.
The senior sister who inspected the dormitory passed by, heard a voice from the room next to her, and hurriedly knocked on the door to enter, seeing that Luan Yiran and A Xiao had not yet gone to the school garden, and hurriedly urged them to go to the school, but there was no way, the two could only come back after school and continue to find.
Throughout the morning, Ah Xiao has been absent-minded, and the worry in her heart can't help but show on her face, where is the pendant, that is the only thing that her grandfather left her for herself, and it is also the sustenance she misses her grandfather, which is more important than her life.
An Yuexia's incense class is extremely important, so many senior brothers and sisters who don't know much about incense will also come to listen to the class, Qiran sat in the corner, staring at Ah Xiao with resentment in his eyes, yesterday this dead girl beat him all over his body, but fortunately, there was no scar left by the medicine given by the master.
Qiran saw that Ah Xiao was not in a state, and after An Yuexia left the school, he had a plan, got up with the porcelain inkstone with ink on the table, and walked towards Ah Xiao's position.
Ah Xiao didn't notice that someone was coming towards her, she was in a daze with her chin pinched, staring blankly at the dazzling rice paper on the table.
Ah Xiao suddenly felt that her sleeves were soaked by something, and the rice paper in front of her was splashed with ink in a jumping arc, she came back to her senses, turned her head to look, and saw a strange and arrogant back walking by her, she looked down at the sleeves that were blackened by ink, and there was no fluctuation on her face.
Luan Yiran was chatting with her classmates, and when she saw Qiran walking by with a wicked smile, she subconsciously turned her head to look back, and saw that the sleeve of Ah Xiao's left arm was soaked in ink.
"Ah Xiao!" Luan Yiran shouted in surprise and ran over, everyone's eyes in the school were attracted by the sound, and their eyes followed her to Ah Xiao.
Bai Yichen, who lowered his head and practiced calligraphy seriously, heard Ah Xiao's name, hurriedly put down his pen and looked up, and saw that Ah Xiao's sleeves were stained with ink, so he quickly got up and ran over.
Luan Yiran ran to Ah Xiao and squatted down, and just as she was about to speak, Ah Xiao calmly said: "It's okay, go back." ”
"But your clothes ......" Luan Yiran said, turned her head angrily and glared at Qiran, got up and roared angrily: "Qiran, do you still want to find trouble!"
Qiran glanced at her fiercely and shrugged his shoulders innocently, "What did I do?"
"You splashed ink on Ah Xiao, when we were blind, right?" Luan Yiran shouted completely ignoring the image of the princess, and the posture of her hands on her hips was very cute.
Qiran sneered, glanced at everyone sitting with cold eyes, and asked, "Really, which of you saw it?"
Glanced at by his question, everyone lowered their heads one after another, Qiran is the second senior brother, usually not afraid of heaven and earth, and Qu Jiangliu is behind him to protect him, on weekdays, everyone doesn't even dare to look at him when they open their eyes, let alone go against him.
Seeing the cowardly faces of this group of people, Luan Yiran rolled her eyes, raised her hand to support her forehead, and shook her head helplessly.
Bai Yichen walked up to Ah Xiao, took off his shirt, gently poked her shoulder, and handed it to her.
Ah Xiao turned his head and glanced at him, then looked at the clothes in his hand, the corners of his mouth hooked a shallow amplitude, and said, "No need, you can wear it, I don't need it." ”
Bai Yichen was stunned, pointed to the stained place on her clothes, and shook her hand, as if to say: This is not appropriate.
"Don't worry. Ah Xiao said absent-mindedly, she didn't care about the proper installation now, and she was only thinking about being able to go back and find the pendant quickly.
Luan Yiran thought for a while and said, "Ah Xiao, I'll accompany you back to change your clothes, I'll go and talk to Elder Yuexia in a while, and she will agree." ”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the door, and Ah Xiao wanted to say that it didn't have to be too late.
Luan Yiran stopped after taking two steps, Qu Jiangliu walked into the school with his hands behind his back, and sat directly in the lecture position, Luan Yiran raised his voice and asked, "What about Elder Yuexia?"
Qu Jiangliu glanced at her and said, "Elder Yuexia has something, next, I'll talk about it." ”
Luan Yiran sighed, glanced back at Ah Xiao, and saw that she shook her head at herself, so she reluctantly returned to her position and sat down.
Qu Jiangliu saw Ah Xiao in the audience at a glance, saw that her clothes were dyed with ink, frowned, got up and walked over, and everyone gasped.
Someone sighed: "This Ah Xiao doesn't know how to provoke Elder Jiangliu, it's miserable~"
Qu Jiangliu walked up to Ah Xiao, pointed to her clothes with disdain, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Ah Xiao rolled her eyes in her heart, she was already very annoyed not to see her today, why did someone always want to find her stubble! There seemed to be a fire burning in her heart, which would explode at any time!
Qu Jiangliu shouted angrily: "As a disciple of the Purple Star Sect, Ah Xiao, you are not dressed properly, and you have also splashed ink on the Purple Star costume and stained it, which is a great disrespect to the sect, Ah Xiao, you are so bold!"
Disrespect to the sect?
It's really!
Ah Xiao suddenly raised his eyes, the trembling murderous aura in his purple eyes, Qu Jiangliu's heart couldn't help but tremble, he had a delusion, this girl was going to kill him!
Tear!
Suddenly, a tearing sound spread throughout the room, and everyone held their breath and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw Ah Xiao holding a long purple cloth dyed with ink in her right hand, her left arm was completely exposed to the sun without a cloth, her slender arm looked more white and translucent under the light, and there were a few bruises and purple scars on her skin, which were left by yesterday's fight.
She tore her clothes!
Ah Xiao calmly looked at Qu Jiangliu, who was so angry that his face turned blue, and asked, "In this way, it's okay." ”
"How can this be reasonable!" Qu Jiangliu slapped the table angrily, and raised his voice to reprimand angrily, "Ah Xiao, as a woman, you don't know any shame, in front of so many senior brothers and men, you don't have any clothes, what kind of body do you become!"
After another reprimand, Ah Xiao sighed, tried her best to hold back the anger that was about to explode in her heart, turned her head to look at Bai Yichen, who was looking at him worriedly, raised her hand and hooked her finger at him, "Come here." ”
Bai Yichen hurriedly got up and ran over, Ah Xiao handed him the long cloth in his hand, stretched out his arm, and said softly: "Help me wrap my arm up." ”
Luan Yiran couldn't help but sneer, although Qu Jiangliu had his back to her, she could almost imagine the elder's expression at the moment.
Bai Yichen took the long cloth, carefully folded the ink-stained place inside, and then carefully wrapped it around A Xiao's arm, the moment his fingers touched her skin, Bai Yichen's hand couldn't help but tremble, A Xiao looked at him quietly, and gradually, his face turned red.
Qu Jiangliu didn't have anything to say, he snorted coldly, turned around and sat down back to the lecture position.
Bai Yichen helped Ah Xiao carefully wrap the long cloth to cover his skin, he kept his head down and didn't dare to look at her, he was so big, he hadn't even touched other people's hands, this was the first time he had such close contact with a woman, and his hands were shaking.
Ah Xiao moved her arm and said softly, "Thank you." ”
Bai Yichen lowered his head, shook his head vigorously, and then got up in a hurry, hurriedly returned to his position and sat down, looking at his back in a hurry, the corners of A Xiao's mouth gradually raised a trace of an undetected smile, and his sharp eyes became much gentler.
As soon as the school was over, Ah Xiao ran out of the school non-stop, Bai Yichen wanted to ask her to go to dinner together, looking at her hurried appearance.
Bai Yichen hurriedly trotted to Luan Yiran's side, took out a piece of paper and wrote on it: Ah Xiao is not quite right today, what's wrong with her?
Luan Yiran glanced at the words on the paper, and said helplessly: "Her pendant can't be found." ”
Bai Yichen's puzzled eyes seemed to ask again: What pendant?
Luan Yiran explained: "A Xiao's very precious pendant, I don't know if you have seen it, it is a white stone polished, and it is broken, and there are traces of bonding on it. ”
Bai Yichen remembered, was it the pendant that fell in front of him that night? He clearly remembered Ah Xiao's reaction at that time, she really cherished that pendant.
How could it be lost?
"I'm going to go back and help her find her. Luan Yiran hurriedly packed up her things, and ran out of the school with a simple word.
Ah Xiao seems to have been wearing that pendant close to her body, could it be that she fell into the spirit pool when she fell into the water yesterday?
In the afternoon, the mountain is almost deserted, and the dense bamboo forest blocks the hot air overhead, and the heat brought by the breeze also becomes a little cooler in the shuttle between the green bamboos.
A figure hurriedly ran along the rugged path and quickly disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Bai Yichen came to the edge of the spirit pool, squatting among the flowers and plants and seriously probing his hand to find it, he had seen the pendant, if it fell here, he would definitely be able to find it.
Bai Yichen searched for a long time on the grass, but found nothing, under the scorching sun, the long shirt on his body was already soaked with sweat.
Unable to find it on the ground, Bai Yichen gradually set his eyes on the spirit pool on the side, he got up and walked to the edge of the pool, raised his hand to wipe his sweat, looked at the steaming pool in front of him, he took a deep breath, jumped into the pool, and dived into the bottom of the pool.
It was dark, Ah Xiao turned the bedroom over and there was no pendant, she sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the ground in a daze with dull eyes.
Her pendant, the pendant left to her by her grandfather, was the only thing she belonged to, and she lost the only thought that her grandfather left her.
The pendant has not been found, Ah Xiao has been in a groggy state for several days, not talking, not eating, listening to learning and practicing, and has been scolded by Qu Jiangliu several times, she has not replied, her eyes are dull like a soulless scarecrow.
"What's wrong with her these days? It's like she's lost her soul. Mu Yangsheng patted Luan Yiran's shoulder and asked, pointing at Ah Xiao who was walking in front in confusion.
Luan Yiran sighed deeply and said, "Ah Xiao's pendant is missing, we have been looking for it for several days, and we have searched through the entire dormitory but have not found it. ”
Mu Yangsheng thought for a while and asked, "Pendant, is the pendant that she fell out of on the road last time that is not broken?"
Luan Yiran nodded, "Yes, Ah Xiao is very precious to that pendant, the pendant disappeared after returning from the back mountain that day, she didn't sleep well in the past few days, she sat by the window at night and looked at the moon in a daze, alas~." ”
"Where will the pendant fall? We went to the back mountain that day, could it be that it fell on the back mountain?" Mu Yangsheng guessed.
Luan Yiran sighed helplessly and said, "If it really falls on the back mountain, it will be really difficult to find it again." ”
Mu Yangsheng shrugged his shoulders, raised his hand to put his arm around her shoulder, and said with a smile: "I don't want to, go, go to eat, and continue to look for it after eating." ”
Luan Yiran shook his shoulders and took his hand away, "Forget it, you go by yourself, Ah Xiao is in a bad mood, I have to accompany her." ”
Mu Yangsheng rolled his eyes, and was about to say something, Luan Yiran trotted to Ah Xiao in front, he crossed his waist and sighed, turned around and walked to the cafeteria.
There were a lot of people eating in the cafeteria at noon, and the entire first floor was full of people, and in the corner, Bai Yichen stared absentmindedly at the food in front of him, picked up a piece of food and released the chopsticks and put it down, repeating all the time.
He has been rummaging in the back mountain for several days, but he has not found any trace of the pendant, and he is very worried when he sees Ah Xiao losing his soul day by day.
"Yo, dumb, what about eating?" Qiran's voice came from above his head, and before Bai Yichen could raise his head, Qiran put the food in the bowl on his head.
The soup flowed down the outline, the food was scattered above his head, and the green leaves fell from the top of his head to Bai Yichen's hand holding chopsticks, his brows furrowed slightly, he took a deep breath to calm his mood, and raised his eyes to look at Qiran who was standing opposite.
The disciples sitting at the table next to Bai Yichen stayed away one after another, and a few of them laughed mockingly.
Hearing the laughter, Qiran seemed to be proud, he tilted his head, looked arrogantly at Bai Yichen, who was staring directly at him, and sneered: "Are you still counting on Ah Xiao to save you?"
Qiran is so arrogant now, Ah Xiao doesn't care about anything, he doesn't have to take care of her anymore, last time because of Bai Yichen, he was beaten so badly, now that Ah Xiao is not here, he can finally take revenge!
Bai Yichen didn't intend to pay attention to him, raised his hand to slap the food on his head away, and when he waved his hand, a grain of rice accidentally hit Qiran's face, he suddenly became angry, grabbed the bowl on the table and wanted to buckle Bai Yichen's head again.
Suddenly, a long sword struck from under Qiran's hand, and the scabbard opened his hand heavily, the bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, and Qiran's screams of pain spread throughout the cafeteria.
