The sunset, like fire.

Although it was not night, the sky was full of stars.

The sun and moon are in the sky, and such celestial phenomena are rare in the Southern Regions.

On the top of the bamboo building, the two sat side by side.

"Jiang Xiaoworm, you know! When I was a child, sugar gourd was my favorite snack, and I always couldn't eat enough!" Ji Xiaoyue leaned her head on the shoulder of the young man beside her, pinched half of the uneaten rock sugar gourd in her hand, and murmured softly: "At that time, I followed the ghost mother-in-law to Fancheng to practice medicine, and my mother-in-law would always buy me two strings, sweet and sour, and I wanted to eat the second one after eating one." ”

The little girl's voice was very soft, word by word, she seemed to be very tired, and she had to pause for a long time every time she spit out a word.

"Well, I know. Jiang Xiaoman looked at the little girl, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he raised his hand and lightly tapped Ji Xiaoyue's smooth forehead, "The ghost mother-in-law told me about it, saying that every time you entered the city when you were a child, every time you passed by the rock sugar gourd stall, you would always hold the corner of her clothes and not move, I was really afraid that one day I didn't watch and let the traffickers in Fancheng turn away." ”

"I hate it!" Biting down on a sugar gourd, Ji Xiaoyue said vaguely: "The ghost mother-in-law is really, say anything!"

Jiang Xiaoman casually picked a bamboo leaf and chewed it in his mouth, and chuckled: "Who made you so worry-free since you were a child, otherwise where would the ghost mother-in-law remember it so clearly!"

"Nonsense, I was a well-known good girl when I was a child!" the little girl pouted, blinked her big eyes, and said unconvinced: "What else did the ghost mother-in-law say?"

"Good girl, this is really ......" chuckled, Jiang Xiaoman was noncommittal and shrugged his shoulders, "The ghost mother-in-law also said that you were quite coaxed when you were a child, and sometimes you can't take you when you go out, but as long as you promise to bring back the sugar gourd from Fancheng, you will laugh very happily, as if there is no trouble in this world at all." ”

When I was a child, I always felt that there was nothing in this world that could not be solved by a string of sugar gourds, if there was, then two strings!" The little girl yawned again and again, seeing that she was about to fall asleep, but she stubbornly refused to close her eyes, and said in a little confusion: "Later, when I grew up, I still like to eat sugar gourds." I've heard my dad say that my mother used to like it very much. My mother said that the sugar gourd, the sugar coating on the outside, and the hawthorn on the inside, are like a human life. Sweet in sour, sweet in sour, sweet and sour, sweet and sour mixed together, and a hint of bitterness of hawthorn seeds. So in the past, every time my father made my mother unhappy, he just went to the street to buy two strings of sugar gourds and went home, and he was sure to be fine!"

When you finish eating one string, the remaining bitterness of the previous string will be replaced by the sweetness and sourness of the second string. After that, the little girl bit down on the last sugar gourd and sighed, "But there will always be the last one." ”

"If you haven't eaten enough, I'll buy two more skewers next time!" Jiang Xiaoman only felt that the juice oozing from the chewed bamboo leaves between his mouth was slightly bitter, and he frowned slightly.

"Jiang Xiaoworm, why are you frowning! Smile more, that's good-looking!"

Cold fingers slid between Jiang Xiaoman's eyebrows, and the hand on his lap couldn't help but tremble, and turned his head to meet Ji Xiaoyue's big eyes as clear as a lake.

"Jiang Xiaoworm, I miss my mother!" The little girl tilted her head and said in a daze: "Although it is very vague, I seem to have had a long dream, in the dream, you have become another person, and I have become another person." In my dreams, we are so close, but for some reason I always feel that you are so far away from me. ”

Looking at the little girl who was close at hand, Jiang Xiaoman was a little stunned, and after a moment came back to his senses, pinched her fingers, and smiled, "Yes, I said Ji Xiaoyue, Ji Xiaoyue, don't you really like me, this dead girl? Otherwise, why do you still think about me even in your dreams?"

"Phew, it's less smelly and beautiful!" The little girl rolled her eyes, but two red clouds rose on her face, and she pouted, "I don't like a little fool!"

"After all, why do you call me stupid!" Jiang Xiaoman was very dissatisfied, raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head, and said with a smile: "Could it be that the person you want is also like the Zixia Fairy in the ancient times, a hero of the world?"

"No, don't touch my head!" The little girl danced her slender white fist at Jiang Xiaoworm, revealing two little tiger teeth, "Hey, Jiang Xiaoworm, Aunt Lin is the sword master of the Ziqing Sword in this world, you tease Zixia Fairy like this, beware of Aunt Lin beating your ass!"

"Speaking of which, you dead girl knows more than me?" Jiang Xiaoman scratched his cheek, looked at the little girl, and said seriously: "Even if it is my own son, I only later learned that the purple and green sword in my mother's hand would have such a big origin." ”

It seemed that she didn't hear what Jiang Xiaoworm was saying, and it seemed that she didn't pretend not to hear, the little girl covered her mouth and snickered, and then said solemnly: "Also, Jiang Xiaoworm, can you not be so superficial! Who said that every girl's crush has to be the hero of the world?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Xiaoman looked at Ji Xiaoyue, smiling rather than smiling.

"Naturally not!" The little girl, who has always been lively, rarely became twisted, raised her head to look at the stars in the sky, and whispered: "Yes! There are many girls who will like the heroes of the world, and hope that their favorite person can be famous in the world, and they want to shock the eight wildernesses, and they must stomp their feet and the whole Kyushu must be prostrate in front of them! But I hope that my sweetheart will be as ordinary as possible, spoil me, love me, buy me sugar gourds, will be stupidly deceived by me to spend a lot of money and will not be angry, and will always protect me in front of me in fights." That's it, it's good!"

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the young man beside him, and Ji Xiaoyue said slowly: "Because, I know, being a hero looks very beautiful, but there are few good beginnings and good endings." Just like the Monkey King five million years ago, how about the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons? What about immortality? In the end, he didn't fail the Zixia Fairy! It was because I understood that I never asked what kind of hero my crush would be, and I didn't need to be famous all over the world, and Kyushu would be honored! As long as I could remember my name for the rest of my life, it would be fine!"

After waiting for a long time, I didn't see the young man speak, and when I raised my head, I saw Jiang Xiaoman's eyes staring at him.

Raised his leg and kicked lightly at the young man's buttocks, Ji Xiaoyue crossed her hands on her waist and became a little annoyed, "Hey, Jiang Xiaoworm, why are you staring at me like this! stupid?"

"No!" Coming back to his senses, Jiang Xiaoman shook his head and casually took off the ancient sword at his waist.

With a bang, the long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light reflected the white clothes.

At this moment, the ancient sword and the immortals, where is there still a little bit of previous decay.

The mottling was no longer there, and the sword qi rushed straight towards the bullfight.

This is a sword that can truly punish immortals.

Jiang Xiaoman lowered his head and stroked it gently, tapped the sword body lightly between his fingers, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the smile grew, "It's just that I suddenly feel that such words shouldn't come out of your mouth, isn't it true that if you sleep for a long time, people will become smarter?"

"Jiang Xiaoworm, did I really sleep for a long time?" the little girl pouted and looked at the young man pitifully, "It's all my fault, so you didn't even look at Uncle Dugu's fight with people......"

"What's so good about fighting, you can't escape a word if you break the sky. Tie the iron sword back to his waist, Jiang Xiaoman grabbed the little girl's shoulder with his backhand, his movements were skillful and natural, and he said to himself: "Anyway, it's still Uncle Dugu who takes advantage of the fight!"

This time, Ji Xiaoyue didn't struggle, obediently leaned into Jiang Xiaoman's arms, and wrinkled her nose slightly.

The ginger worm has a very good smell, like wood and flowers.

"I'll tell you, ginger worm. It's not that stepping on the seven-colored clouds is my intended person, but that I identify the desired person, no matter what I do, it is like stepping on auspicious clouds, overlooking the world. ”

"But if, that person will be you, Jiang Xiaoworm. But I hope that a long, long time later, you will be a hero who can truly compete with the Monkey King, so that the heavens and immortals will also bend their waists, and let the Nine Shadows Yellow Spring also bow down. ”

In the young man's arms, the little girl only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and her voice was very soft and low, as if she was whispering, "So, Jiang Xiaoworm, if you really want to part one day, don't be reluctant." ”

Jiang Xiaoman was shocked, lowered his head, and felt that his chest was blocked by something.

The arm holding the little girl was wet at some point.

"Sleep in peace, don't think about anything, everything is with me. Untied his coat and covered the little girl, and picked up Ji Xiaoyue by the waist, Jiang Xiaoman smiled, and walked down the stairs, every step was very careful.

Turns out, you know it all.

At this time, the sun is setting.

The wind rises, the clouds gather, and the mountain rain is coming.

In the bamboo building, the lights are flickering.

Sandalwood burned in the bronze incense burner, and charcoal burned in the stove.

Although it is cold in the mountains, there is a warmth in the house.

The green butterfly girl Shi Shiran stood up, flicked her fingers, put the golden needle into her sleeve, and sighed at the young man leaning against the wall behind her: "What a smart little girl, no wonder she doesn't ask anything, no wonder the demon boy likes it so much." ”

Retracting his thoughts, Jiang Xiaoman stepped forward and chuckled: "I said Sister Witch, don't we all say it, there are no outsiders here, you call me Xiaoman." ”

Qingdie giggled, covered her mouth and said, "But how did I hear the little girl call you Jiang Xiaoworm? ”

Jiang Xiaoman had a bitter face, looked at the woman in front of him who was almost as tall as himself, and pouted: "Sister Witch, do you want to call me like this?"

"Giggles, what's the matter, the little girl can shout, but I can't shout my sister?" Lianbu lifted lightly, and the green butterfly girl walked to Jiang Xiaoman's side, bullied her, blew in her ear, and said with a smile: "Anyway, the little girl will soon forget you, don't be her hero." Why don't you be my sister?"

"I said that Sister Witch, it's not a good habit to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. Jiang Xiaoman's already bitter face is even more bitter now, "Also, this joke is not funny at all......"

"Cut! little man!" Qingdie Shi Shiran stretched his waist and yawned and walked towards the door, "It's boring, no wonder the three priest aunts said that the men of Kyushu!

Jiang Xiaoman scratched his head, looked at the back of the demon, and said a little puzzled: "What is it?"

"Duplicity!"

......

......

Tick!

Tick!

The rain fell on the earth, washing away the mist in the mountains.

"I'm afraid it will rain for a long time. ”

Outside the bamboo building, behind the waterfall, there is a cave.

The mountains and rivers are complete, the mountains stretch, and the vastness does not know thousands of miles.

The phoenix is crying, and the tiger is roaring and the dragon is endless.

Ninety-nine vast rivers converge into the sea, and the purple air in the sea is churning.

In the purple air, there is a towering giant city, and the city wall is 30,000 feet above the ground.

On the city wall, there are two figures, one man and one ape.

It was the old man who was dressed as a man who spoke.

With a three-inch goatee under his chin, he has a majestic posture, holding a white jade whisk in his hand, and he has a fairy wind and bones.

"Hey! If it is really as originally calculated, the catastrophe on the little Vermilion Bird of the Jiang family will be fulfilled on the little girl of the Xuanyuan family. When the words fell, the old Taoist stroked the city wall, his eyes opened and closed, and there was a golden light between the opening and closing, and he sighed softly, and said: "The Northern Regions win, the Southern Regions Jiang, the Nine Heavens Yun Vermilion Bird, and the Nine Hidden Xuanwu." If the Vermilion Bird is not nirvana, how can it flutter its wings and sweep the nine heavens?"

"The Jiang family's little Vermilion Bird, not bad!"

The white-haired old ape cherished words like gold, and was silent for a long time, word by word.

"In this life, the Jiang family's Suzaku is worthy of my trust. ”

The purple gas dissipated, and there were three big characters in the book on the city gate.

Between the strokes, the fighting spirit is soaring!

Ao Laiguo!
