For two nights in a row, Zi Ning stayed alone in the dining room at night, until the food was cold, and Qianli never appeared again. Zi Ning couldn't help but feel lonely, and wanted to quietly go to the bamboo house outside the peach forest in Houshan to find him, but saw that the small bamboo door outside the east wall had been blocked, and a new stone wall was rebuilt.

She thought to herself: "This is the only way in and out, it is inconvenient for Qian to leave Qingshuang Garden, he can't see me, and he is in a hurry to come for the past two days." When I thought of Qianli's handsome face, I suddenly felt a lot of pressure. I secretly entangled in my heart: "Since I broke up with Liang Ziye, this girl is invincible, and she disdains the handsome faces of men in the world, is it possible that when she meets Qianli this time, she will break it?" Seeing that the moonlight has turned from bright to dark in the past few nights, Qianli's figure has disappeared since then, as if there has never been such a person in the world.

Xianggui was released from the forbidden room, and before her resentment had subsided, she was forced by Mama Qing to practice hanging Feiyan, which angered her and added a few stubborn diseases. In addition, he was weak and cold for many days, and after only one day of practice, he fell ill, and the whole person was groggy and hot.

Seeing her like this, Mama Qing was too lazy to spend money to ask the doctor for treatment, and scolded: "The little hooves from Ermen are also so squeamish, they think they are Miss Qianjin! Zi Ning's anxious heart burned like fire, and she personally begged Mama Qing, "If Mama locks up Xianggui again, her life will be lost." I begged my mother to allow her to move to the back yard and live with me and take care of each other. ”

Manzhu was also beside him, and as soon as he heard Zi Ning say this, he begged Mama Qing and said, "I will also move over so that I can accompany Xianggui." Qing Mama thought about it again and again, and saw that Xianggui was very sick, and if Master Su made a fuss before entering the house, she, the teaching grandmother, would not be able to escape the involvement, so she allowed them to live together and take care of Xianggui wholeheartedly.

The four of them were originally sisters, and their relationship was extremely good, and they felt closer and more lively when they moved together. Zi Ning saw that Xianggui had a high fever and did not go away, so she went to the dining room to find Xiao Cui'er, gave her some loose money, went to the pharmacy outside the palace to buy wind and cold medicine, and secretly asked Aunt Lian for help and borrowed the stove in the dining room to boil medicine.

After taking the wind and cold medicine for a few days, Xianggui's body did not improve, but became heavier and heavier. Zi Ning was in a hurry, so she had to step up to cook more soup for her. She practiced hanging Feiyan during the day and was not idle, and boiled medicine at night to take care of Xianggui, but fortunately, according to the method of "Turtle Breath Inner Secret" to meditate, hanging Feiyan was much easier, and her mental and physical strength were also enhanced a lot.

It's just that when cultivating "Turtle Breath Inner Secret", it is inevitable that he will not see him for a few days, and his heart will become more and more worried, and he doesn't know if his injuries have healed. It is rare for her to have a confidant when she comes to Dongyuan, and the sudden separation like this makes her unable to figure out the reason, and she also has a sense of life and death.

Zi Ning was tight-lipped about the matter of Qianli, no one knew about it, and even the green ring was hidden. It's not that I'm worried that the green ring will leak through the wind, but I have an expectation in my heart: "Becoming a confidant with Qianli will always be a secret between the two of us." ”

This night, the lights were quiet, Zi Ning went to the dining room to boil medicine for Xiang Gui, and sat next to the medicine pot alone, looking at the curling white gas coming out of the lid, as if Qian Li was still in front of him. The face wrapped in the white cloth was imprinted in his mind, and when he remembered his funny appearance, Zi Ning wanted to laugh as soon as he pursed his lips.

The star-like eyes, always revealing a smile, looked at her intently.

Zi Ning sat down with her arms folded on her knees, sighed, and said to herself: "Qianli, why don't you say goodbye, are your injuries healed?"

I waited for an hour, until I boiled the medicine, and Qianli didn't come. Zi Ning was depressed, so she had to put out the firewood under the stove, come out of the dining room, and directly take the medicine to the room to Xianggui. When Xianggui finished taking the medicine and fell asleep, it was already the third watch. Zi Ning was upset and couldn't sleep, so she put on a thick coat, went to the porch outside the house, and sat against the railing, feeling a chill.

The moonlight was dim and unclear, and a dark cloud in mid-air moved slowly, obscuring the only half-crescent moon. Zi Ning sat for a while, got up and walked lightly to the bamboo forest in the corner of the courtyard. The mist fell through the bamboo leaves, and a deep and cold breath lingered all over the body.

Suddenly, I saw a white erect figure, standing straight under the bamboo, swaying, stepping out of his feet, and pacing slowly in the bamboo tree with the shadows of the leaves.

Zi Ning hurriedly raised the lantern and stared at the figure, full of suspicion, secretly thinking: "It's late at night, who will take a walk in the bamboo forest?" I saw a tall figure in the depths of the bamboo forest, but it was a young man on closer inspection. She was shocked, couldn't help but tremble, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who is it?"

The man seemed stunned for a moment, and did not answer her, his clothes fluttered among the bamboo leaves, and he slowly raised his hand to remove the bamboo leaves, revealing a soft white garment. Zi Ning suddenly recognized the material of the clothes, and was suddenly stunned, her blood surged all over her body, she couldn't believe her eyes, and stammered, "Are you ...... You are a benefactor!" Sure enough, a familiar scent of sandalwood wafted in, and the person in front of him was dressed in a white dress inlaid with snow satin and gold, standing facing her with his hands behind his back.

Zi Ning was overjoyed and thought, "My sincerity has touched God and let me meet him again." Lifting the lantern and wanting to walk into the bamboo forest, the man in white suddenly raised his hand, covered his face with bamboo leaves, and said lightly: "Don't come over." Zi Ning's heart warmed, and the voice was also a deep magnetic voice that she was familiar with, making her heart beat faster.

Zi Ning didn't move, and he didn't move. Zi Ning was silent, he was also silent, and the two of them only stood quietly looking at each other from the dark emerald bamboo branches under the crescent moon. Zi Ning couldn't see the other party's face clearly, nor could she feel a trace of his breath. But she was at ease, and only hoped for such a quiet silence from now on forever.

I don't know how long I stood there, the edges of Zining's embroidered shoes were covered with dew, soaking his feet wet and cold, and his hands were also cold. The two were separated by a bamboo forest, and the sound of the breeze blowing the fine pieces of bamboo leaves brought a hint of coolness.

Zi Ning looked up at the crescent moon that was separated by bamboo leaves, although the night was cool and cold, her heart was hot, and she pleaded softly: "I...... May I take a look at you?"

The man in white replied, "Zi Ning, it's inconvenient for me to show up at this time, but I didn't deliberately avoid it. A few clusters of leaves shook in the bamboo forest, and a tall figure of a man emerged, but his face was covered with a cloth.

Zi Ning's heart overflowed with a honey-like feeling, and she smiled softly: "I know your identity, but it is indeed inconvenient to show up." It's okay, I like to meet like this across the bamboo forest......" At the end, his head was silently lowered, and his voice gradually became weaker, as if only he could hear it.

The man in white was silent for a moment and asked, "You...... Do you really know who I am?"

Zi Ning pursed her lips and smiled, lowered the lantern in her hand, and the dim light was projected in the bamboo leaves, casting a mottled shadow, and said faintly: "You are the bright moon in the sky, but I am a touch of frost on the ground, as if they are separated from each other for thousands of miles, and it is all emotional sadness." She wanted to laugh, but there was a deep sadness and desolation, and two lines of hot tears fell silently, down her silky cheeks, and rolled into her neck like beads.

The sleeves and wrists of the man in white moved slightly, wanting to come out of the bamboo forest, but after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but move. After pondering for a long time, he said slowly: "If you know my identity, you should believe that I will be able to protect you." You are neither frost nor sentimental. ”

Zi Ning lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and then replied: "It's a pity that what I want is not that you protect me, but ......" Before he finished speaking, he swallowed it back raw, thinking in his heart: "Zi Ning, Zi Ning, what's wrong with you, isn't it enough to have a daydream, do you want to guard him all your life and win the favor of three thousand beauties, it is even sadder and ridiculous than a daydream!"

The man in white took a deep breath, seemed to guess what she was thinking, raised his head and said, "I really can't give you what you want." ”

Zi Ning was silent for a while, raised his eyes and stared into the depths of the bamboo forest for a long time, and said slowly: "I didn't understand the end of the world before, and laughing at this was just a cowardly excuse. Now this night, looking up at the bright moon in the sky again, I already know very well in my heart that between you and me, there are thousands of miles apart, even if I span thousands of years, I may not be able to catch up. Perhaps the only thing we have in common is this bright moon! Unfortunately, it is a crescent moon, if the crescent moon is affectionate, looking down from the vast night sky without a trace, I don't know if I want to cut our shadows in one place, even if we are thousands of miles apart, we can still gaze at each other. ”

The man in white suddenly smiled and quipped: "What is thousands of miles apart, what spans thousands of years." If you really cross the millennium, you will be able to catch up, so why grieve?"

As soon as Zi Ning heard him laugh like this, the sadness of moaning without illness was broken, and there was some anger in her heart, and she said angrily: "How can you know my difficulties? There is only a crescent moon left on the moon tonight, which shows that it has hatred and resentment in its heart. Since even the moon is vulgar, let alone me, a little woman, can't I have sorrow and joy?"

There was a soft sound in the bamboo tree, and the man in white couldn't hold back his laughter, secretly thinking that it was Zi Ning who spoke like this, so he pretended to be righteous and said: "If there is such a day, the sky is lovely, and the moon is hateless, what will happen to you?"

Zi Ning wiped away the damp breath from the corners of her eyes, raised her neck and said: "As far as you are concerned, I will neither do the sunrise and the end of the past, nor do the yellow flowers of yesterday wither, if there is really love and no hatred, I only want to stay with you every tomorrow!

I can't wait for a crack in the ground for her to drill into, and secretly regret that this confession is too vulgar and casual, I knew that when I met the prince tonight, I should have prepared well and picked up the love letter I wrote to Liang Ziye again.

"Zi Ning ......" The man in white muttered her name, as if he was very moved, and after a while, he made up his mind and said, "I will do my best to give you what you want!"

Zi Ning pursed her lips and smiled, with a warm taste in her heart, and thought: "It turns out that he doesn't mind me talking vulgarly, this is the best, it's the type I like!" nodded vigorously and said, "Pingjia, I must wait for you!"

The bamboo shadow shook violently, there was no sound for a long time, and the chirping of crickets at night was weak, only to hear the man in white sigh faintly: "Pingjia, I see......"

The carved lanterns reflected the swaying shadows of the trees, and the firelight shook in the wind, which was bleak and uneasy, so that Zi Ning saw it in her eyes, faintly shocked in her heart, as if she had said something wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong, scratching the back of her head and wondering.
