In the quiet night, Chang'an was startled by this sudden sound.

But then, she thought that the people in this room might be the palace guards arranged by the royal brother, and she had seen these people before, and in the upper floors of the imperial city at night, they would occasionally pass by.

Thinking that it was a guard, Chang'an did not hide it, and said truthfully with a crying voice.

"I lost one of my bracelets, do you know where it went?"

But what she didn't know was that the real guards wouldn't take the initiative to talk to her anyway.

And now, the silent guard was lying soundly asleep on the other side of the eaves, having just been knocked unconscious.

Listening to Chang'an's words, the voice in the room was silent for a while, but he said.

"I know, I stole it. ”

Chang'an's little face suddenly turned white with fright, because she understood that the room was not a guard at all, but a thief.

She had never seen a thief, let alone spoken to a thief, only that they were all heinous bad people, who killed people without blinking an eye.

She was naturally afraid of such a person, but her bracelet was still in his hand, which made her feel some courage and said in a trembling voice.

"Then, give it back to me!"

"No, I can't. The voice in the room refused her request as if he hadn't thought about it.

"Why?" Chang'an's eyes turned red again, as if he was about to cry again.

"Because I can do it for some use. The voice in the room was peaceful, without the ferocity and ruthlessness of the rumored thief, but said lightly and casually.

"I'll give it back to you when I'm good at it. ”

"You. Chang'an was speechless by the thief's unreasonableness, and after a while, he said aggrievedly.

"Why are you like this? ”

Her voice was low, but the tears flowed uncontrollably.

She stubbornly wiped away her tears and held back her words.

The moonlight outside was cold.

On the room, a white coat was half-lying there with his hands on his pillow, and when he heard another low cry from below, he raised his brow helplessly.

"Why are you crying?" he asked softly.

It's not that the bracelet won't return her, he just wants to lie here for a while and rest, why can't he live in peace.

Chang'an didn't answer, the room was pitch black, not even a candlestick was lit, it was darker than the outside.

After a long while, the man in white didn't speak again, and neither did Chang'an.

Until Chang'an, he thought that the thief was gone, and gradually calmed down, but suddenly there was a voice in the room.

"Don't cry anymore. The thief's voice was a little muffled, and he seemed to be chewing something in his mouth: "Do you want to eat candy?"

Chang'an was still angry, bowing his head and refusing to speak.

But suddenly, a candy cube wrapped in paper appeared on her dressing table.

"It's not right for me to take it without asking, but I really use this bracelet, you should borrow it from me for two days, and I will definitely return it to you after two days, how about it?" said the thief sincerely.

In fact, if it is only borrowed for two days, Chang'an does not mind so much.

And looking at the other party's appearance, it can be regarded as sincere.

Chang An looked at the sugar cube, pursed his mouth, half a sound, sobbed, and took the sugar cube in his hand.

"Just two days?"

"Just two days. The thief in the room affirmed.

"You promise. ”

"Okay. The thief sighed helplessly: "I promise, it's okay." ”

"That. Chang An blinked his eyes that were still red, lowered his head and whispered, "I'll borrow you for two days." ”

Anyway, it had already been taken away by him, and she had no other way.

There was no sound in the room, and I don't know if the thief really left this time.

Chang An opened the candy paper in his hand and put the candy cube into his mouth, it was sweet and delicious.

The next day, the stunned guards hurriedly informed Li Shizong of the incident.

Li Shizong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

And Chang'an just sat silently by his window and waited.

Two days later, on the night, a jade bracelet and a note appeared on her dressing table.

The thief did return the jade bracelet, and left a few short sentences that he didn't know what to say, which made Chang'an laugh and scolded the disciple.

She walked to the window, looked at the moonlight outside the window for a while, knocked on the edge of the window with the mentality of giving it a try, and asked towards the room.

"Are you there?"

"Is there something wrong?" the voice still came out of nowhere, lazy and lazy, not in a proper way.

This time, Chang'an said with a smile.

"I lent you the jade bracelet for two days, should you thank me?"

The voice in the room paused for a moment, he didn't expect this little girl to actually coerce Entu, as if he smashed his mouth, and said depressedly.

"How do you think I can thank you?"

Chang An sat down by the window, looked out the window and thought for a while.

"Have you been to a lot of places?"

"It's okay. The person in the room said lazily: "It can be regarded as a few trips on the rivers and lakes." ”

"Then how about you tell me the stories of those places?" Chang'an asked expectantly, she had never left the capital yet, and she had only walked to the outskirts of the city outside the city gate at the farthest, so she was very similar to hearing what was like outside the capital.

"Yes. The thief seemed to be a little surprised, he didn't expect this girl's request to be so simple.

"What do you want to hear?" he asked.

"Tell me first what the desert is like. ”

"Desert, I've only been there once, and at that time, I went there to steal a golden Buddha statue. When I first arrived, the yellow sand was all over the sky, and when the wind blew, I couldn't open my eyes, and the sand in the wind was like a knife, and the sun pierced my face and hands······"

The moonlight is long, and the people on the house are leaning against the roof tiles, telling the story of the rivers and lakes.

The candles flickered, and the people in the room held their chins in their hands, listening to the strange news outside the palace.

When the breeze blew, the clothes and belts were blown lightly, and the figures swayed lightly, so it was not quiet.

······

Since then, Chang An would sit by the window every night, and every time she tapped the window twice, the thief would appear on time.

Chang'an heard him talk about the desert, the northwest, the snow-capped mountains, and the riverside.

The thief always speaks very well, and with his strange stories, the scenes of the rivers and lakes seem to really appear in front of him.

During the day, Chang'an would sit in the room in a daze, thinking about the outside of the palace, thinking about the rivers and lakes, thinking about the boundless desert, snow, rivers, lakes and seas.

To others, it was as if she didn't want to go out anymore.

One day, Chang'an asked the thief how long he would stay in the capital.

The thief said that he was going to leave in a while, because his business in the capital was done.

Chang'an felt that she couldn't express her feelings in her heart, but suddenly, she wanted to take a look at this thief.

So she took advantage of the other party's lack of attention, poked her head out of the window, and looked into the room.

Unfortunately, her hands were not steady, and with her exclamation, she leaned and fell from the window.

Just when she thought she was going to die, a white dress fell from the eaves and caught her.

It was also then, by the light of the moon, that she saw the thief.

She remembered this glance for four years, from then until today.
