I think back to all the strange things that have happened in the past few days, and the biggest strange thing is that there is only one entry and no exit from the town of Luoma, and there is no exit from the forest at the foot of the West Mountain. Fengyue Tower is mysterious, as if illusions are repeated, and I haven't found a clue. I, Hu Xiaoer, Senior Brother and Tenth Aunt decided to find an inn to spend tonight and find a way tomorrow.

The black catcher naturally didn't go with us, and before leaving, he said to the tenth aunt: "There will be a lot of inconvenience for me to investigate the case in the past few days, if you are willing, follow them first." ”

The senior brother took a step forward and said between the black catcher and the tenth aunt: "It's better to follow me than to follow you." ”

The black catcher skipped the senior brother and approached the tenth aunt, his face softened, and his tone was quite patient, "When this case is revealed, we will go back to Jinling first." If you want to look around, you can discuss this later. ”

The tenth aunt approached the side of the senior brother, wrinkled her beautiful face, and was very resistant between her words, "Brother Montenegro, I said that you don't have to worry about my business. And I don't want to go back to Jinling. ”

"Aunt Shi, I'm doing this for your good. The black catcher had a wry smile on his face, and after a while, he looked at his senior brother and his eyes became cold, "If the tenth aunt hurts a hair, I will definitely not be able to spare you." ”

The senior brother didn't care about his words, "I said that you don't have to worry about it, the head catcher in Montenegro still has to worry about your case." ”

This night, my tenth aunt and I lay flat on the bed in the inn, and she came in with a pillow and said that she wanted to sleep with me, so that she could talk some private words. I grew up with my master and brothers, and I was very curious about talking to girls in private conversations. The tenth aunt said that the private conversation between the girl's family is used to tell little secrets and satisfy each other's curiosity.

It's no secret that Shigu likes her brother, and she asked me about many stories about her brother's past that has not been exposed to the rivers and lakes. In exchange, I asked her to tell me about her relationship with Black Catcher. After all, in the face of Chang'an's first god hunting Montenegro, who has always been known as the "cold-faced god", not everyone dares to call "Brother Montenegro".

The tenth aunt said first: "Woman, you know my background, right?"

I nodded, "Yan Wuyi, Gap Bird, I am sure that you left these words that day." ”

"And your senior brother—does he know?"

"It's hard to say. I thought for a moment, "But from what he said to you in front of the black catcher today, maybe he also knows." Maybe...... Again, I don't know. Hey, haven't you talked about this in the few days you've been together?"

"I don't know where to start, after all, I deceived first. Your brother didn't ask anything. Shigu was a little frustrated, "Besides, besides, I've been chasing him for the past few days......"

I comforted her and said, "Don't think about it so much, my brother has never minded this. Now on the rivers and lakes, you are the Ten Aunts, and the Ten Aunts are the Ten Aunts, which is better than the Nine Aunts and the Eight Aunts, and better than the five and the birds. None of that mattered before. ”

Shigu turned sad into joy with a "poof", "Woman, it seems that talking to you has suddenly become a little clearer." ”

"Then tell me about you and the cold-faced God. I smiled and urged her, "How did you meet?"

"I don't have anything to do with my brother Montenegro. She was silent for a moment and said to me from the beginning, "My father used to raise a group of samurai in the mansion, and for as long as I can remember, Brother Montenegro was in it, and he was still the youngest. ”

"The black catcher used to be in Yan...... On an errand under your father?" I was stunned, who would have thought that the majestic Lord Shenzhu who was now in the court and the opposition would have such a history.

"It's okay to say that. However, when I was eight years old, my brother left the house, as if my father had found another errand for him in the capital. Now it seems that this should be the case. ”

"I know the rest of the story. I picked up her words and said, "It is rumored that the head of the black catcher became a catcher in the yamen of the capital at the age of seventeen, and at the age of twenty-three, he was arrested by the Son of Heaven himself. My master said that it takes a lot of ambition and a lot of blood on the sword to grow from a poor boy to the first god of growth in five years. ”

"Of course, your Montenegrin brother must have suffered a lot. I added.

"That's nature. The tenth aunt turned to look at me, and her eyes shone slightly, "Actually, Brother Montenegro is a good person." He used to treat me like a sister in the house, even more protective than my brothers. Every time I did something wrong, he would carry the bag for me in front of my daddy. Even after leaving, he often went back to Jinling to visit me and my father. In the past two years, Chang'an's first god hunt has become famous, and the rivers and lakes say that this god catcher was born in the grass but has a big temper and is used to being a shelf. But I know that Brother Montenegro is a good man and a good official, although he is not tactful in life, he is stubborn in principle, worthy of the people, and worthy of himself. ”

"You just believe in him like that?"

"That's nature!" Shi Gu nodded vigorously.

I raised an eyebrow at her and smiled, "No wonder he's different from you." ”

"You're here again! ”

Aunt Ten pretended to be angry and wanted to scratch my armpit, I giggled and curled up in the quilt and begged her for mercy. After the two of us made a fuss on the bed for a while, we were really tired, so the tenth aunt hugged the quilt and slept on the pillow beside her. There was only some dried lamp oil left in the candlesticks on the square table, and in the silent darkness I listened to the white paper on the window ridge rustling in the midnight wind. I lay flat on my side as my breathing gradually evened out, but I didn't feel sleepy in front of the dark beams.

I can't sleep when my tenth aunt sleeps, not because I'm not sleepy, but because I think too much. Master has a saying, thinking and being sentimental happen in vain. His old man said, Xiaoqi, it's rare to be confused.

And now the black fog in front of me seems to have dissipated, and gradually sketched for me the pair of sheared pupils that have been haunting my heart for a long time, and a charming cinnabar mole swaying above the scissor pupils, and a mysterious purple veil is still hidden from her true face. Is she the person I saw five years ago? Maybe the stunning beauties are all dressed and temperamental, and the reaction of the senior brother is also mediocre.

The silhouette of the beauty slowly faded, and another pair of smiling eyes appeared inch by inch in the dark canvas. I remembered that the man was always smiling, as if he had seen everything in the world, even when the storyteller talked about such an embarrassing thing as the death of heroes and the withering of beauties, he also showed his folding fan lightly, as it was written, "Dream a lifetime".

Without me and my senior brother by my side, I don't know if he will be lonely after drinking alone after talking in the alley. Tonight, the moonlight outside the white window paper fell to the ground white and translucent, I don't know if this is the case in Jinling. In fact, I knew that he didn't like the moon, and that day he was slightly drunk with the smell of wine and sighed, and the moon on the rivers and lakes was getting colder and colder day by day. I retorted to him that as long as you can drink with the person you want to meet, then the wine will always be warm and the moon will always be round. Then he smiled again, and it was reflected in the mellow worm wine in the large bowl, turning into a green shadow in the dark night above......

I thought about it for a long time, and I also felt a little sleepy, and my eyelids became heavy like a thousand pounds, falling off little by little. At this moment, a dark shadow flashed in the bright moonlight outside the window, and he "rubbed" his ears and stuck to the door.

"Who?" I subconsciously straightened up to pick up the sword next to my pillow.

I saw that the black shadow immediately swam from the door to the window after hearing the reaction, and a hole was pierced in the white window paper, revealing an eye, "Uncle Shi, the moon is dark and the wind is high tonight, can we go on a night tour together?"

Hey, I woke up at this moment, isn't this Hu Xiaoer's voice?
