The night sky is dotted with stars, and the moon is like a mirror.

Yu Shuang followed Pan Xiaohan out of the door, walking at a corner of the cloister, the night breeze was blowing.

He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the moon in the night sky, only to see the bright moon like a mirror, the vast galaxy, and couldn't help but sigh faintly, what he said just now seemed to open his heart a lot.

Suddenly, a thought echoed in his mind: What do people live for?

Yu Xueying was preoccupied all night, and her pretty face had long since lost the lively and dynamic look of the past.

She followed behind her brother Yu Shuang, and she couldn't lift her spirits, but she didn't pay attention and bumped into her brother's back, only then did she come back to her senses, her face was still sad, and she said sadly: "I'm sorry, brother." ”

Yu Shuang came back to her senses after being knocked out, and looked back at her sister, but saw that her sister's face was gloomy and miserable, her eyes were ruddy, and tears were shining. With her playful nature, this blow seemed to her like Mount Tai pressing the top, which made her difficult to let go for a while.

Yu Shuang's face leaked a look of love, sighed slightly, put his hand on Yu Xueying's shoulder, and said softly: "Silly sister, what do you apologize for, only my brother will always be sorry for you, and you will never have to apologize to your brother." ”

Yu Xueying's eyes were full of tears, as if she had been strongly suppressing something, but now she finally couldn't hold it back, her nose was sore, her eyes were hot, and she suddenly threw herself into Yu Shuang's arms, grabbed his clothes with her fingers, and cried: "Brother, my father and mother are dead...... Whining. ”

Yu Shuangwei was really heartbroken, seeing his sister so sad was really more uncomfortable than stabbing himself, he endured his emotions, gently stroked his sister's back, and comforted softly: "Ying'er, don't be sad, although my father and mother are gone, but my brother is still there, no matter what happens in the future, my brother will accompany you and will protect you well." Don't be sad, Uncle Pan is right, we have to look forward, there is still a long way to go. Didn't you say that you don't think about unhappy things in your head? ”

Yu Xueying leaned on Yu Shuang's shoulder, and in a moment tears soaked through Yu Shuang's clothes, she choked up: "Brother, can you bring them back to life......?"

Yu Shuang closed her eyes deeply, two lines of tears crossed her cheeks, and hugged her sister tighter, how she hoped that she could melt the ice and snow in her sister's heart through her body temperature.

At this time, Pan Xiaohan walked in front of him, and found that the two behind him did not follow, so he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Hey, you two hurry up, I'm almost sleepy." She stretched.

Yu Shuang's expression moved, glanced at Pan Xiaohan, gently pushed Yu Xueying away, and said to Pan Xiaohan: "Let's come." With that, she took her sister's hand and followed.

Pan Xiaohan snorted lightly, a little impatient, she raised her eyebrows, and said as she walked: "Who are you? I can see that my father looks at you differently, unlike other orphans." ”

The word "orphan" Yu Shuang felt quite harsh in his ears, he pulled his sister Yu Xueying and followed behind Pan Xiaohan, his sister was unhappy, and Yu Shuang was also disgusted in her heart, so she didn't pick up Pan Xiaohan's words again.

Pan Xiaohan took a few steps forward, suddenly stopped, looked back at Yu Shuang, and said: "Although my father looks at you differently, there is still a distinction between priority and priority in the Pan Mansion, my father is the biggest, and it is me who comes down, you are at most a guest, and you have lived in my Pan Mansion for a long time.

Since leaving the door, Yu Shuang can feel that Pan Xiaohan seems to have changed as a different person, and his speech has become mean. The moonlight shone on Pan Xiaohan's thin face, seeing that her face was like jade, and her expression did not seem to be joking, Yu Shuang took into account his father Pan Xincheng's affection after all, so he had to say lightly: "Yes, Miss Pan." Our brother and sister will definitely not get along with Miss in the future. ”

Hearing this, a smile leaked from Pan Xiaohan's face, quite proud, and his eyes turned to look at Yu Xueying.

Yu Xueying lowered her head and thought about it, and Yu Shuang rushed to say when she saw this: "Miss, please rest assured, Ying'er will not dare to go against Miss." ”

Pan Xiaohan nodded, turned around and continued to walk forward, and said, "That's good, the one who knows the times is Junjie." If you need anything in the future, you can come and tell me first, understand?"

Yu Shuang followed behind her and answered.

The Pan Mansion is quite large, even much larger than the Yu Mansion, the green mountains and green waters in the mansion, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the scenery is quite pleasant. However, the two brothers and sisters followed behind Pan Xiaohan, but they did not have the slightest interest in watching the scenery.

The three of them walked through the corridor and stopped at an arch, the arch was about two adults tall, jade shape, antique, reflecting the faint moonlight, Yu Shuang looked up, only to see the arch with stone embedded with three big characters of "Guanhai Pavilion".

Pan Xiaohan walked in front and said without looking back: "This is Guanhai Pavilion, you will live here in the future." ”

Yu Shuang nodded, thinking to herself that there is still a sea here, and said, "Yes."

Pan Xiaohan paused, walked in, and Yu Shuang pulled her sister to follow in.

The three of them walked on a secluded path paved with white jade stones, lined with dense verdant green bamboos, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on the secluded path, but did not shine into this thick bamboo forest at all.

The night breeze is blowing, and the bamboo forest is swaying.

After about a cup of tea, the three of them stopped, and in front of them was a lake, the area of the lake was quite large, and the lake was sparkling in the moonlight, reflecting the vast sea of stars in the sky.

Pan Xiaohan stretched out his hand, pointed to the middle of the lake, and said to Shuang: "That's where my father and I live, and you can go along that bridge." ”

Yu Shuang looked at the place she pointed, only to see the moonlight poignant, reflected in the lake, and vaguely saw two magnificent houses as if standing in the middle of the lake, looking majestic and magnificent, very magnificent.

"You guys live here first. As she spoke, she pointed to the other side, and Yu Shuang saw that not far from the left side of them were also standing two houses that were exactly the same as those in the lake, with their backs against rockeries, built of blue bricks and blue tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, extremely luxurious.

Yu Shuang looked at the luxurious scene here, and couldn't help frowning, thinking to herself, could it be that Uncle Pan also likes the luxurious aristocratic life of the floating world?

However, Pan Xiaohan said at this moment: "The house we live in was given to my father by Uncle Nie, and my father originally insisted on resigning, but considering that the mansion is big, he can take in more homeless orphans, so he will also stay." ”

Yu Xueying, who had been following the two of them, looked up at the house at this moment, her expression was gloomy, and she said to Shuang: "Brother, Ying'er is sleepy, let's go and rest." ”

Yu Shuang paused when she heard this, and said to Pan Xiaohan: "Thank you Miss for leading the way, Miss I have remembered the kindness of Miss in my hearts, it is getting late now, I really dare not disturb Miss to rest, here for Uncle Pan's kindness, we both thanked each other." After that, he made a deep swipe to Pan Xiaohan.

Pan Xiaohan snorted, slightly disdainful, she heard it in her ears, and felt that this was quite impatient, but thinking that her father valued these two people so much, she had to suppress the fire in her heart for the time being.

Without saying much, she snorted, turned and walked up to the stone bridge, towards the houses in the lake.

Yu Shuang looked at her back and sighed faintly, knowing in her heart that although Pan Xincheng was kind-hearted, he naturally treated their brother and sister sincerely. But his daughter Pan Xiaohan really doesn't have much energy, thinking of the long future, and not knowing how to get along with her in the future, he can't help but frown.

Yu Xueying naturally didn't think about it so much, and saw Pan Xiaohan's figure gradually walking away and getting on the stone bridge. She turned her head to look at her brother Yu Shuang, only to see her brother silently looking at the figure on the stone arch bridge, frowning and thinking, she pulled her brother and said, "Brother, let's go rest too." ”

Yu Shuang came back to her senses and retracted her gaze and said, "Let's go." ”

There was a clear "click", and Yu Xueying pushed the door open.

There are a few oil lamps burning in the house, which is quite bright, and the layout inside is very luxurious. Yu Shuang was attracted by a calligraphy and painting on the front wall at first sight, about a person tall, reflecting two oil lamps on the table, the calligraphy and painting painted a man, holding a jade fan, outstanding bearing, the jade tree in the wind, with an indifferent expression on his face, quite similar to his father.

Below the calligraphy and painting, there are a few words: The sound of the dragon's chant breaks through the nine heavens, and who is proud of the sky.

Yu Xueying was also attracted by this calligraphy and painting, she walked to the calligraphy and painting in a daze, and said slowly: "'Daozun' turns out that this is Dad." ”

Yu Shuang sighed faintly when she heard this, and her eyes turned to another calligraphy and painting.

This calligraphy and painting are hung side by side with Yu Qiong's calligraphy and painting. The person on the calligraphy and painting has a strange appearance, a pair of antlers on his head, his eyes are angry, his mouth is open in anger, and there is a pair of fangs in his mouth, and his expression looks quite terrifying. His hands and feet are about twice as long as ordinary people, and he holds a halberd in his hand, making an angry roar.

There is also a word below the calligraphy and painting: A lifetime of cultivation is only for the devil, and the devil is a few times to create a demon.

Yu Shuang knew that the person who hung on the wall side by side with his father's portrait was the founder of the Demon Dao, the first sword punishment known as "Dao Zun" by the world. Both of these people have made merits for the recreation of the world, and both the righteous path and the demons and cultivators worship these two as gods.

Yu Shuang looked at these two calligraphy and paintings for a long time, and then slowly withdrew her gaze, suddenly felt bored in her heart, and turned her head to Yu Xueying, who was looking up at the calligraphy and paintings, and said: "Ying'er, you said that they paid for the world, is it worth it?"

Yu Xueying didn't think about it when she heard this, and said straightforwardly: "It's definitely not worth it, they give so much to the world, what can the world give them?"

Yu Shuang paused, smiled bitterly, and changed the topic: "In the future, we have to be more polite with Xiaohan, although Uncle Pan treats us very well, but Xiaohan is young after all, we can't be as knowledgeable as her." Besides, she was right, we were guests when we entered the door, and we tried to follow her in everything to avoid accidents. ”

"Oh" Yu Xueying drooped her head, nodded, and said, "Ying'er knows, if there is anything in the future, Ying'er will let her." ”

Yu Shuang touched Yu Xueying's head, a smile leaked from her face, and she said lightly: "It's not early, let's go to sleep." ”

Following.

In the early morning, the morning breeze blows, and the microwave ripples on the surface of the lake. Before dawn, Yu Xueying got up early, and last night's sleep seemed to make her refreshed and in a much better mood.

She walked out of the room and stretched, and looked into the distance, only to see that the morning stars were still shining in the sky. She carefully looked at the surrounding scenery, last night it was dark, and secondly, she was in a bad mood, and she really didn't find it, here the green mountains and green waters, accompanied by green bamboos, birds and flowers, and lakes depend on each other, and the air in the early morning is very refreshing.

In front of me sits a huge house in the middle of the round lake, which looks majestic and magnificent.

There are gorgeous houses built in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions around the round lake, and the house where she and Yu Shuang live is located due south, and four jade stone arch bridges are built on the lake, leading to the house in the lake in the east, south, west, and north directions.

Yu Xueying took a deep breath, a smile leaked from her face, walked to the lake and looked down, only to see her figure reflected in the lake, dressed in red, with two black pigtails, and a pair of big watery eyes.

She stuck out her tongue at the lake, made a few grimaces, squatted down and splashed the water with both hands on her face a few times, and suddenly felt a lot more refreshed.

The water of the lake is clear, and you can see the red carp in the lake swimming in the water, occasionally swimming to the surface, the mouth is fanning, and the red cheeks are moving, looking leisurely and leisurely.

Yu Xueying's girlish temperament, she wanted to capture them all and keep them in the house, which was a very pleasant thing for her.

It's just that she didn't expect the fish in the water to be extremely cunning, and as soon as she approached carefully, the fish in the water would notice it, and when she swam to the bottom of the lake with her tail swing, she couldn't see it.

Yu Xueying tried a few times without success, and couldn't help but wrinkle beautifully, stomped her feet fiercely, pointed at the fish in the water, her pretty face appeared angry, and she said angrily: "Let's run, I will definitely catch you all up to make soup and drink it another day, hum!"

The morning was surprisingly quiet, Yu Xueying was distressed, and suddenly heard the sound of insects in the bamboo forest, she turned her eyes and looked at the forest.

She no longer faced the lake in a daze, and ran quickly into the bamboo forest, she bent down and explored carefully, and sure enough, she found that there were countless crickets in the bamboo forest, and they were more numerous and bigger than the ones she had encountered in Yufu at the beginning.

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately bent down, tiptoed down, "hey", she leaned down, pressed her hands on the ground, and felt the collision feeling in her palms.

Yu Xueying carefully looked at the cricket in her hand, it was half the size of her palm, from childhood to adulthood, she had never seen such a huge cricket, she really caught a "cricket king", how could she not be overjoyed.

By this time, it was already getting dark.

Suddenly, from not far away, there was a faint singing, which sounded crisp and loud, "The clouds are floating, the birds are singing, and my mother is weaving clothes for me......"

Yu Xueying frowned, turned her head to look, and saw that on the jade arch bridge not far ahead, Pan Xiaohan was dressed in a goose yellow dress, holding a green page book in her arms, singing a song in her mouth, and walked towards her with a comfortable expression.

In the early morning, in addition to the sound of insects, there was silence, and when Yu Xueying boarded, he felt that this song was melodious and sound, and the sound was loud, and it was refreshing to smell.

Watching Pan Xiaohan come over from a distance, Yu Xueying walked out of the bamboo forest, stood on the side of the stone road and beckoned to her, with a smile on her face, and greeted her: "Sister Xiaohan, good morning." ”

When Pan Xiaohan heard this, he looked at her, and his singing suddenly stopped.

As if he suddenly saw Yu Xueying, the smile on Pan Xiaohan's original face disappeared immediately.

Walking closer, Pan Xiaohan glanced at Yu Xueying, who was standing on the side of the road, and saw her looking at herself with a smile on her face, holding her hands on her chest, and her upper hands were stained with a little dust. Pan Xiaohan has always loved cleanliness, and he can't help but feel a little disgusted in his heart.

She was expressionless, staring at Yu Xueying, and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Pan Xiaohan's face flashed with disdain, but Yu Xueying didn't care, the smile on her face did not decrease, she showed the cricket in her hand to Pan Xiaohan, and said happily: "Sister Xiaohan, I am catching the cricket king, you see, the one I caught is very big, bigger than the one I caught before!"

Pan Xiaohan's face was gloomy, she glared at Yu Xueying, and muttered secretly in her heart, "This stinky girl who can't get on the stage is extremely happy with this kind of trivial thing of playing with mud, it's really stupid and naïve." ”

Thinking like this, she muttered something from the bottom of her mouth, then stopped looking at Yu Xueying, and walked straight in front of her, as if she didn't see her.

Her voice was very small, and Yu Xueying couldn't hear what she was muttering clearly.

After Pan Xiaohan left, Yu Xueying looked at Pan Xiaohan's back in a daze, her eyes darkened, and her heart suddenly sank, only feeling that she seemed to have done something wrong, which made Pan Xiaohan angry.

Recalling what her brother told her last night, she couldn't help but secretly blame herself in her heart for not knowing how to be polite.

"Ying'er, what are you doing here?" Yu Shuang's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Suddenly, Yu Shuang walked out of the door at some point, and saw her sister Yu Xueying standing on the stone road, looking ahead in a daze.

Yu Xueying was startled, and when she saw that it was her brother, she walked over quickly. She looked gloomy and said abruptly: "Brother, I'm sorry, Ying'er made Sister Xiaohan angry." As she spoke, her mouth was flattened and her nose was sore, and she was about to burst into tears.

Yu Shuang was stunned and said, "Ying'er doesn't cry, what's going on?"

Yu Xueying suddenly threw herself into Yu Shuang's arms, cried out a whimper, and sobbed: "Ying'er doesn't know either." Sister Xiaohan got angry when she saw me, woo woo......"

Yu Shuang's heart ached, gently pushed her sister away, helped her wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't cry, it's okay, no matter what happens, my brother is here." ”

Yu Xueying gradually stopped crying, but she still looked at her brother, sobbing softly, a pair of bright eyes like pear blossoms with rain, Yu Shuang saw it in her eyes, and it hurt in her heart.

Yu Shuang gently stroked Yu Xueying's back, her eyes were full of love, and she said in a low voice: "Ying'er, we are now under the fence, we have to endure everything, and when we all grow up and have the ability to be self-reliant, my brother will take you out of here and go to a place where there is no strife." ”

Yu Xueying looked at Yu Shuang quietly, suddenly burst into tears, threw herself into Yu Shuang's arms, and said: "Brother, Ying'er listens to her brother in everything, where your brother goes, Ying'er will follow you wherever she goes." ”

Yu Shuang stroked his sister's back, a smile leaked from his face, and a trace of confusion appeared in his eyes, he closed his eyes deeply, hugged his sister tighter, and sighed softly.

"Shuang'er, Ying'er, you got up so early?"

Behind him, a sudden greeting sounded. Yu Shuang turned around and saw Pan Xincheng getting off the arch bridge with a smile on his face and walking over to this side.

Yu Shuang and Yu Xueying turned their eyes to the stone bridge in unison, and said to Pan sincerely in unison: "Uncle Pan, morning." ”

Pan Xincheng walked over, patted Yu Shuang's shoulder and smiled, "Shuang'er, Ying'er." Did you sleep well last night? By the way, Ying'er, didn't I ask Xiaohan to take you to the 'Institute of Knowledge' to study together, why didn't she call you?"

"Huh?" Yu Xueying was stunned for a moment, her eyes rolled, and she immediately said, "It's called, I'm ...... I just got up. ”

Pan Xincheng is a careful person, he only glanced at Yu Xueying, and then felt that something was wrong, and said directly: "Ying'er, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yu Xueying was suffocated, and she was about to blurt out, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw her brother Yu Shuang winking at her. Her heart moved, she wanted to speak again, and she spoke again, and said, "Sleep well, sleep well." Thank you Uncle Pan for your concern. ”

"Really, why don't you look energetic at all?" Pan Xincheng gently touched Yu Xueying's head, there was a look of love in his eyes, and he waved his hand and smiled: "It's okay, let's go, I'll take you there, and by the way, familiarize yourself with the terrain of Pan's Mansion." After that, he walked along the stone road first to the place where Pan Xiaohan had just walked.
