I was dizzy in the morning, and I didn't feel good after counting the Zhuzi, and I was unlucky all day long.

"I waited for you last night, and she couldn't find you, so she came back to me......" As soon as I stepped in, Zhiwei's voice sounded.

Zhiwei pruned the tender bamboo leaves that had just erupted with one hand, and occasionally looked up at me a few times.

Last night?

Could it be that the girl saw Si Yi's house?

My head has never been very bright, but today I don't know why I hurriedly spoke, "Wang Shangnian has never been out of the door for the third brother of Zhu Zi, so he let him come with him, and when I saw him, he was already asleep, so I took him to my room, and I didn't know anything else." ”

That being said, I was very apprehensive.

"Hey, I didn't take it lightly last night, so I invited someone over, and Xuanji should agree to me doing this. I glared at her fiercely at her long-looking look and her sour words.

"Master, I've invited you here. "It's the girl who speaks, the girl lowers her head, she doesn't dare to look at my eyes, is it possible that I can eat her?

"Whew......" What else could I answer, I could only answer reluctantly, and when I looked up, I saw Si Yi following behind me.

"I heard His Royal Highness say that Si Yi has been missing Zhu Zi recently?" I frowned, my eyes glazed wildly.

"This ......" Si Yi didn't seem to see my strange appearance, and leaned down to salute, "Zhiwei is afraid that I am mistaken, the king sent me to protect the priest." ”

Si Yi was born in the same year as Zhiwei, Si Yi has been in the palace since he was a child, and the two of them are more familiar.

"Protect me, I still need your protection, I'm afraid it's not that you're mistaken," I gritted my teeth and laughed at Shang Zhiwei's playfulness, and could only endure it silently, "But no matter why you came, you always have to tell Zhu Zisheng today." ”

He nodded in acquiescence, then moved closer to me a few points, and stuffed the puppet I gave him last time in his arms into my hand, "I want the same thing as my second brother, this thing is not rare." ”

My brain suddenly ached, and I gasped, "Next time, I'll definitely give it to you next time I have a chance." ”

He didn't move, and after a pause for a quarter of an hour, he took out a delicate box from his bosom and sniffed it carefully for the smell of herbs.

"This medicine can relieve pain and reduce swelling. His eyes inadvertently glanced over my mouth, and I quickly covered it with my sleeve.

"I don't need to. I turned my back and sweat broke out on my forehead.

Si Yi didn't say anything, put the medicine box on the table, turned around and left here.

"So you stayed in Zhuzi's room last night?" After Si Yi left, Zhiwei shielded everyone and asked softly.

"Hey......" I breathed a sigh of relief, "I think he should have seen me come out of the door of Zhuzi's room today." ”

"The girl saw it yesterday, she thought you had something important to talk about, so she didn't say it, but today she thought that something was wrong, and then she told me. Zhiwei knelt beside me and warmed a pot of tea for me.

"I was drugged yesterday, and Zhu Zi was drunk again, although I blamed him, but after all, it was my own mistake," I rubbed my head, and I was angry, "As for Si Yi, I don't know." ”

I was really confused at this point, drank the tea in one hand, and left the station.

I don't know how to deal with this, if I stay at the station, I'm afraid it will be more and more embarrassing, it's better to go out for a walk, I heard that Du Jiang's Lantern Festival seems to be today, I naturally want to join in the fun.

When I went out, it was already dark, and the lights and fires were intertwined, and occasionally there were a few Kong Ming lanterns in the sky.

"Girl, do you want a Kong Ming lantern?" asked the old man with a smile on his face, looking at me.

I first shook my head, looked up at the Kong Ming lantern in the sky, and said, "Uncle, let's bring me one." ”

Before I could give him the silver, a gold ingot was placed on the table.

"I paid for her. I looked up suspiciously, but it was Si Yi's eyes that met me.

When I saw him, I turned around and wanted to leave, but I had just run a few streets before a rush of air stopped.

"Xuanji, do you still want to run?" Si Yi walked towards me, smiling all over his face, still holding the Kong Ming lantern I wanted in his hand.

"I didn't ......run," I muttered, and before I could finish speaking, he hugged me.

"Xuanji, do you hate me pestering you?" I shook my head.

"Then you don't want to talk to me?" I shook my head again.

He suddenly laughed, "That's fine." ”

I struggled out of his embrace, "You...... Why didn't you go to Zhuzi?"

"Second brother doesn't want me to come. He let go of me and handed me the lantern.

I didn't reply to his words, but took the lamp, "Du Jiang's lights are really worthy of their name, look at Xicheng, the light show over there has begun." ”

"Then let's go, I'll accompany you to put Kong Ming lanterns today. I looked at Si Yi, and my mind was full of the scene when I saw Si Yi in Nanshu Palace that day.

He knelt on the ground, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, but he stretched out his hand and asked, "The priest is so partial that he gave it to the second brother alone." ”

Du Jiang stretches for several miles, everywhere the lights go, and when he looks up, he is a Kong Ming lantern with hope.

I stood at the head of the city, holding a brush in one hand, and carefully wrote on the Kong Ming lantern, "Jinshu to the south." ”

"But what's the meaning?" Si Yi asked in a low voice.

"I hope that Nanshu will never fall for a thousand years. I smiled lightly, but my eyes were full of loneliness.

"It's exactly the same as you said a year ago. He took the brush, "I hope that Xuanji's wish will come true." ”

"You knew me before?" I lay on a meadow, counting the stars in the sky, and chatting with him with a match.

"You saved me from the heavy snowfall that year. ”

I thought about it, but I didn't have the slightest impression, "I don't remember." ”

He seemed to be thinking about something, and his expression was slightly dazed.

"That's right, then Japan is your unintentional move," he smiled and found a comfortable position to lie down, "In Xuanji's heart, how is the second brother?"

Zhuzi?

"Why do you want to ask this?"

"Naturally, I don't want to make you unhappy. His words were a little more relaxed.

"But the mention of him has already given me a headache, I never want to guess Zhu Zi's thoughts, he always wants to give me the best arrangement, but this is not what I want," I sighed helplessly, "I was brought back by Zhu Zi from the Endless Sea, he saved me, he wanted to give me an arranged path, but I was unwilling to do what he wanted." ”

"Where is the Endless Sea?"

I thought about it for a while, but I still smiled and said, "A fairyland on earth." ”

He didn't believe it at all, and shook his head again and again, "The second brother said that there is no smoke, no aura, nothing, you are alone, aren't you alone?"

"I've forgotten what it felt like, but I just know it's my own sin. "The Endless Sea is a god who imprisons erroneous gods, and I am one of them.

He handed me a candy, "Then if you're feeling lonely, just eat one." ”

With a smile in his eyes and a glow in the light, I nodded.

"Si Yi, you accompany me to the market, I want to see the splendor of this world. I got up, took his hand, and disappeared into the grass with one hand.

at the bazaar

I walked aimlessly down the street, and now that a pillar of incense had passed, I still didn't want to go back to the station.

"Are you going back to the station?" Si Yi looked at me, his eyes full of smiles.

"It would be nice if I couldn't go back. He gestured to me and told me to wait for him, and I stood there and watched the people come and go.

As soon as I turned my eyes, there was a little girl not far away, she looked at me stunned, I smiled slightly, "Girl, come here." ”

She immediately ran over, stretched out her hand to hug me, and the moment she touched me, all kinds of scenes turned in her head, the woman in red, the charred palace, the bright red blood, I gasped for breath, and when I looked down at the girl, she disappeared without a trace.

"Xuanji?" I listened to the familiar voice and slowly opened my eyes, "I haven't seen you for a while, why did you fall asleep?"

"Haven't you been around for too long?" I smiled wryly.

"Okay, it's all my fault, let's go, I've found a good place, you can go with me." ”

Si Yi seemed to be familiar with this place, and even the room with Tianzi No. 1 could be obtained, and I was lying on a blanket made of silk, eating freshly made pastries, while flipping through the books that had just arrived from the store downstairs.

"Xuanji, haven't slept yet?" Si Yi's voice sounded in the door.

"No, come in," I said, leaning against the corner of the bed, "you're familiar with this place." ”

He smiled, "I used to come here with my eldest brother, and I also met the fireworks festival at that time, and then I met the shop here." ”

"It was the same here before and it is now?"

"Pretty much, but there used to be a rich merchant here, who was a very good man, and most of the royal silk came from his shop, but for some reason, last year a fire burned down his house, and his body was not found. What Si Yi said was very strange, but this kind of thing happens often.

"This man is also very pitiful. As soon as I finished saying this, a woman's voice sounded in my ears, "The poor must have pity, and the gods of heaven are so arbitrary?"

I frowned, stared, and asked, "Who are you?"

After that, there was no word.

"Xuanji?" Si Yi shook his hand in front of my eyes, "I think you are tired of a day today, go and rest first, I am next door to you, just call me if there is anything." ”

At night, I turned off the light, but the woman's voice appeared in my dream again, "You say that the rich merchant is pitiful, but are we pitiful for being affected for no reason?"

Her voice grew farther and farther away, leaving behind only a story of the past.

The beginning of the story is a grassy spring, and the end of the story is a snowy winter, with bloodstains and fires, covering the world, leaving only a trace of indifference.
