The next few days were as dull as water. Na Rui Niang only seemed to know what happened that night, and when she met Xingyan, it was no different from usual, still solemn and solemn. Only occasionally, I sent the maid to welcome the child and brought some fruit snacks to Xingyan.

Although he agreed with Lingyier to return the flute, Xingyan was not in a hurry. Because it won't be a few days later, it will be a more special day.

In the past, except for the New Year's holidays, all the time was almost no different to Xingyan - except for the salary. But now it seems to be a little different. Since I met Na Juying more than two months ago, Xingyan feels that there is another special day in the month.

In a few days, I have known the girl Ju Ying for two months. Xingyan made up his mind, and then went to return the flute, and by the way, he took a look at the Poyang smoke and water that often appeared in his dreams.

Occasionally thinking about it, Xingyan also feels that he is a little ridiculous:

"Heh~ When did I become so sentimental?"

For this jade flute, although Xingyan agreed to return it that night, he was still a little reluctant after all. After being with this flute for so many hours, this delicate and lovely Shenxue is no longer just a tool for making a living for Xingyan. This flute is now like a friend of the awakening words.

Although Di'er is about to be returned, Huayuelou still has to ask for this meal. When he woke up, he went to the musical instrument shop, picked left and right, and spent some money to buy a fairly good bamboo flute.

Immersed in silver for a long time, now Xingyan is quite familiar with this instrument. He knows that when picking, not only to look at the material of the bamboo flute, to see whether it is specially stored for a long time of the kind of bamboo made, but also often to roll it in a flat place to see if the bamboo pipe is round and straight - don't underestimate these details, in the eyes of these experts who rely on the flute to make a living, it is often such subtleties that determine whether a flute is labor-saving or laborious, and whether the timbre is good or unpleasant.

It seems that Xingyan has forgotten the heart of the Tao back then, and he seems to be ready to work for a lifetime.

Anyway, this afternoon, after playing a few pieces of music, Xingyan is finally ready to return the flute to the Lingyi'er.

As usual, I asked for leave from Aunt Xia, the old bustard of Huayue Building, and Xingyan pinned the jade flute "Shenxue" to his waist and prepared to set off. Of course, the wages that I have saved up are usually carried on my body and taken with me.

The teenager's move was not stingy. Perhaps these coins are really not worth mentioning to the rich man, but for a poor young man like Xingyan, these three or four taels of silver are already a lot of money. Therefore, no matter where Xingyan hangs out, these few ingots of scattered silver coins have always been cherished and carried with him.

Before the sun went down, Xingyan hurried on the road. Everything was brought, except for the iron sword, but it was forgotten by the master, and he leaned aggrievedly against the root of the wall in the awakening room.

Not long after he hit the road, something happened that frightened him—

When he was waking up and hurrying away, he found that the ground under his feet suddenly shook!

At first, Xingyan thought it was his own delusion. But after walking a few steps, I realized that the dirt road under my feet was indeed trembling.

"There was an earthquake!"

The farther he went east, the more he felt that the ground was shaking, and his body seemed to be swayed involuntarily there.

"It's weird~ Why is this place shaking?"

In the memory of Xingyan, it seems that there has never been an earthquake. Therefore, after being surprised at first, he felt that it was quite new, and stood there at the moment, feeling the wonderful feeling of being windless and automatic.

"Heh~ It's quite fun!"

It's a pity that before he could get enough of it, after a short while, the dirt road stopped shaking. Xingyan was unwilling, and waited for a while - but there was no movement again.

Seeing that the ground was no longer shaking, Xingyan was a little stupid, so he had to continue to concentrate on hurrying away.

Although Poyang Lake is really not close to Raozhou City, the young man is now walking quite fast, and he does not stop walking all the way, but it does not take much effort, and he rushes to the edge of Poyang Shuibo when the head has just sunk in the West Mountain.

When he arrived at Poyang Lake, Xingyan was not in a hurry to play the flute tune, and hurriedly recruited the little girl who was on the flute.

finally came to Poyang Lake, and said that he had his own plans.

"Heh~~ The granddaughter of Yun Zhongjun, I have seen her at night several times, and it is still early, so I don't have to rush to find a place where there is a house, and go to play the flute to alarm her. ”

Thinking so, Xingyan walked along the shore of Poyang Lake, all the way, to the place where he was smiling and smiling.

Although there were only two months in between, for the teenager, it seemed that a long time had passed for those few days of togetherness.

Thousands of mountains and rivers, although they block the vivid face, but they are constantly buried deep in the bottom of the heart.

When the old land is revisited, this simple-minded teenager is now full of thoughts. Now Xingyan finally knows how to "see things and think about people"; this way, it is really to see the charming face of the chrysanthemum, and meet the willow and the slender waist......

came to the lake stone again, and said that he was distracted for a while at the stubborn stone that Ju Ying had leaned on. Although Xingyan understands that his status is low, and he is thousands of miles away from her, he has almost no chance to see each other, but since he and Ju Ying lived and died together in that turmoil, Xingyan knew that he could never forget that happy face.

"This Shenxue flute will no longer be mine, so let's blow it one last time." ”

Thinking like this, Xingyan took out the jade tube pinned to his waist, carefully wiped it a few times, put it to his lips, and played it.

A wisp of clear flute sound rises in this Poyang water.

At this time, the head of the day has fallen under the West Mountain, and a bright moon is hanging in the sky in the east, sprinkling thousands of miles of clear light on the surface of the shimmering Poyang water. The clear light of the moon, connected with the water and sky, reflects the blue sky like a wash, and the bright lake is like a mirror. In the pure night sky, there were only a few wisps of thin clouds, and in the far west, there were still a few strands of ochre, the color of which was as vivid as dye.

Occasionally, the wind blows on the surface of the water, and the moon shadow is like a tide, and a slight cloud surrounds the fishing sails that return late in the distance, and the flute song is faintly heard.

The young man's flute sound, which carries the meaning of longing and nostalgia, swayed and flew between the water, moon and smoke.

As for the awakening words who once played the strange song "Water Dragon Yin", now he is no longer confined to one song, one score, one tone and one tune. Facing this sturdy lake, he just played as he wanted. Where the heart goes, where the sound goes. All the tonal beats are spontaneous, but they are self-harmonizing and have a natural rhyme.

This wisp of clarity, which is really the voice of the heart, swept over the lake and around the top of the clouds with the light wind of that night - at that moment, all the unforgettable charms and reveries of the young man, all the ethereal and clear, were flying and dancing in the silent night sky of Poyang Lake.

Precisely:

The autumn water is long, the wind is in a painting, the sand is clear, the frost flute is clear.

When the young man was integrating his whole body and mind into the sound of his flute, he didn't know that on the water not far from him, in the sparkling lake under the moonlight, there was a beautiful girl in white, bathed in the moonlight, rising from the flowing autumn water.

This fairy-like girl in the water is none other than the girl who has been with Xingyan several times - Lingyi'er.

I saw her stepping on the ripples of the water and coming to the shore of the lake. Then, he stood quietly beside Xingyan and silently listened to the flute music he played with his heart.

Now Xingyan is fully engaged in this jade flute music, although his wonderful perception tells him that the girl has arrived, but he has entered the realm, and he still does not want to stop the flute in his hand.

The clear and clear music still flowed out of the sound hole of the jade flute and snow, floating between the blue sky and clouds in front of him.

Surprisingly, this girl, who was used to making noise at the first sight of the wake-up words, did not make a sound to disturb the teenager at the moment.

After listening for a while, the girl who had changed into a plain palace dress, waved her sleeves lightly, streamers left and right, slowly came to the shore of Shuilan, bowed her head and silently recited a few words, and then made a move of her jade hand - but saw that above the shimmering lake, several water columns suddenly stood up, and under the whisper of the Lingyi'er, it gradually condensed into a phoenix head with strings and pillars.

Under the reflection of the clear light of the moon, there is still a little bit of clear light flowing on the strings condensed by autumn water, and it looks like a real illusion, like a dream.

Ling Yi'er gently held this water basket, and her jade fingers were turned into orchids, brushing on the strings of autumn water. A sound of a clear spring-like tinkling sound sounded leisurely. This gentle piano sound, and the young man's clear and melodious flute sound, gently responded, like an empathetic girl, who is gently persuading the troubled young man.

The fairy-like music flows like this between the clouds and smoke on the shore of Poyang Lake.

After a few turns, the handful of water in the girl's hand suddenly dissipated into thousands of water droplets, flying all over the sky!

Surrounded by the splashes of water in the sky, Lingyi'er lotus steps moved lightly, and in this way, Yingying stepped on the surface of this slightly rippling lake, with light sleeves, fluttering clothes, and the beat of the jade flute, making a Lingbo dance on the water surface of Poyang......

If you go back to the middle, I suddenly heard this Lingbo fairy lightly open her lips, and her throat was fluttering, and she sang:

It's about to be spotless

Slim and slim water fairy

The lotus room is deeply locked and difficult to reveal

The half-spit fragrance is as light as smoke

...............

Later, someone wrote a poem and praised:

Mountains and fresh water traces collected

There are few smoke willows in Poyang

Baiyun Township sings gently

Flute fan wild crossing

Dancing Water Fangzhou

In the depths of the clouds, there is an orchid boat

is young

Mansh Merry

Look at the moon lake and autumn together

............

The flute is ethereal, and the singing is tactful. When the last wisp of flute and singing disappeared into the lake breeze at night, the awakening mind seemed to gradually fall back from the ethereal clouds to the world.

Lingyi'er, who had just finished singing and dancing, floated lightly across the water and came to the front of Xingyan again.

"I came early, but I only cared about playing the flute. ”

The girl who sang and danced softly is now a little complaining.

Xingyan listened, but did not answer, just looked at Lingyi'er with straight eyes, and said with a mouthful of food:

"You...... Is it the fairy in the water?"

Now this dumbfounded young man Deng Deng is full of the appearance of Fang Cai Lingyi'er on the water, stopping as usual, singing and dancing lightly.

"No, I'm a monster in the water!

Seeing this originally handy young man, now he has become such a dull appearance, Ling Yi'er urged her narrow heart to rise again, and couldn't help but make amusements; at the same time, she also put on a grimace and pretended to dance and dance claws; It's a pity that this girl is really good-looking, and the effect of this grimace is really little-

"Whew~~"

When the young man heard this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief,

"It turns out that the monster in this water is so beautiful-before I pounced on you, I really thought I was going to be frightened, and I expected to see the green-faced fangs and salivating appearance......!

"It's good that you're so lazy, and you say it well, but you come to secretly hurt me~"

"Heh~ Don't dare, don't dare. It's shocking to see a monster like you, but it's just amazing!"

It may be that there are too many strange and grotesque things I have seen in these days, but now Xingyan has come back to his senses from the initial shock, and his speech has slipped smoothly again.

Although Lingyi'er is afraid of "monsters", she is really not afraid of her bright and elegant appearance. And somehow, although the girl in front of her was glamorous, but after a few times of messing around, Xingyan didn't feel ashamed of her at all, and the words in her mouth were as smooth and slippery as ever.

"I—I'm a youkai!"

"If the monster is like this, where do you put that fairy?"

“...... You're really lazy, full of lies, and you only know how to lie to me. ”

Although she said so, Ling Yi'er really liked it in her heart. Speaking of which, the fame of this "Snow Flute Lingyi" is all over the world, but it seems that few people mention it to her face-to-face. Because of her identity, there are few people who dare to laugh and laugh with her, and because everyone seems to have a convention for her beauty, they often forget to praise her beauty.

Unconsciously, Lingyi'er gradually became quite unattainable in the impression of those children of the same age in the rivers, lakes and seas, and her demeanor often made people feel cold and arrogant. Although the word "snow" in this "Snow Flute Lingyi" refers to the jade flute "Divine Snow", in secret, it is interpreted as "cold and beautiful as snow" by those young children who admire her, and I am afraid it is not known.

If you know that the girl surnamed Ren in front of you is still like that, I am afraid that this is more difficult to accept than the "Qinghe old Taoist morality is profound, and money is like dung"!

Now, somehow, this arrogant Lingyi'er, because of this flute, feels particularly comfortable and relaxed when he meets this young man who knows nothing about himself. In her heart, she only felt that these battles with this young man in the market seemed to be a happy thing that she had never experienced before.

Unconsciously, she gradually felt a little nostalgic for this feeling - in fact, on that awkward night, the young man proposed to return the flute immediately, and at that moment, she was a little inexplicably panicked in her heart. And these days, although the scene of being suddenly hugged in the arms of the man that night is really embarrassing, it always involuntarily comes to Lingyi'er's mind. Every time I think of it, the pretty face of this "Snow Flute Lingyi" is red and red!

And for this simple-minded young man in the market, he seems much more sluggish, and he doesn't have any special feelings in his heart - although, the first few times the girl's entanglement really caused him a lot of trouble.

Xingyan didn't know these inside information, and when he saw the girl's disgust, he smiled and passed. Looking at the girl in front of her, Xingyan suddenly thought of the business she was going to do here tonight, so she said:

"The girl knows these magical methods, and she is born so well, it must be a fairy~ By the way, I'm here to return the flute to you tonight, so take back the flute. ”

As he spoke, Xingyan stretched out the jade flute Shenxue in his hand to Lingyi'er and asked her to take it.

It's just that the girl didn't reach out to take it—

“...... You see people dressed like this, but where else can you hold this flute? Let's put it here for you first, and help me keep it for the time being~"

"Huh?"

Xingyan was stunned when she heard this—why did this little girl change her surname recently? In the past, she tried every possible means to take the flute, but now she took the initiative to give it to her hands twice and three times, but she was not in a hurry to ask for it.

"Alas, it seems that there is a saying that is true—it is the mind of a little woman that is difficult to guess!"

Just as he was waking up and thinking wildly, he heard the spirit Yi'er shouting:

"Oops~ I was a little tired after singing and dancing just now! I still seem to feel a little hungry in my stomach - why don't we go find a place to eat?

"It's fine. Where are you going?"

Although Xingyan remembered a few dry cakes in his arms, he didn't disappoint the fun.

"Let's look at the lake building~"

It seems that the "Wanghu Tower" on the waterside of Poyang is really famous.

"Uh...... I've eaten that place too!"

Xingyan has always been proud of having eaten Wanghu Tower, and when she heard the girl mention the "Wanghu Tower", she couldn't help but mention it again.

It's just that...... When he thought of the price of vegetables there, the young man couldn't help frowning:

"It's a good place, it's just too expensive...... Last time, last time, it was a treat from someone else!"

In front of this Lingyi'er, Xingyan didn't feel ashamed to say this. First, anyway, he felt that after experiencing those few turmoils, his image in the mind of the girl in front of him was probably not good; second, the Wanghu Tower was really expensive, and he didn't want to spend his hard-earned silver on this so-called human face in vain.

"What are you afraid of, since I invited you to go, naturally I will pay the bill!~"

I'm afraid that Lingyi'er also knew the situation of the young man, but she didn't say anything to ridicule him as usual. However, after saying that, I couldn't help but add:

"Last time...... Did the girl named 'Yingyu' invite you last time?"

"Huh?"

At first hearing this, Xingyan was shocked, I didn't expect this girl to be so well-informed, and she even guessed this. But after thinking about it, I was relieved - this is very likely, her grandfather Yun Zhongjun told her.

Thinking of it, this old man in the clouds, his granddaughter has such magical powers, I am afraid that he himself must be a master with great magical powers.

"Heh~ Your grandfather told you, right? It was indeed a girl who invited me, but it was not called 'Yingju', but Juying~"

"Hmph! I knew it was her-I didn't expect you, a lazy guy, to be able to take peach blossom luck~"

"Don't talk nonsense! By the way, there are so many rich and generous girls now?"

...... In this way, the two of them handed over and answered, and without a word of gossip, they left the inaccessible cold lake stone and walked towards the Wanghu Tower in Poyang County.

I don't know if it's a cold night, but when I got there, I found that there were not many guests in this Wanghu Tower tonight. Upstairs, there are even fewer guests upstairs. Xingyan found the lakeside seat where he ate with Juying last time, and beckoned Lingyi'er to sit down.

After all, it was someone else's treat, and Xingyan didn't say anything, so he called the guy over and only let Lingyier order. The girl ordered two or three dishes first, which were quite light and mainly vegetarian. And then he hesitated there, not knowing what to order.

"It seems that this girl doesn't come out to eat very often. ”

Looks like I'll have to check the menu myself. Xingyan remembered that Lingyi'er began to cry out that she was hungry, so she recommended the famous noodles of Wanghulou - fine-crumbbed rice balls.

Xingyan used to be a buddy in the Daoxiang Building, and he often came to this Wanghu Building to walk, and he was also quite familiar with the special dishes here. The fine crumbs of this Wanghu Tower are also a major feature of it. In general, the rice balls in the market are often mixed with small flour in rice crumbs, although they are delicate to eat, but they are quite laborious to chew. And the fine crumbs of the rice balls in Wanghu Tower, but not mixed with the small powder, only pure rice crumbs; and I don't know what method is used in the kitchen, the rice balls are made crystal clear, and they melt in the mouth.

And this crumb glutinous rice ball, compared to other dishes in Wanghulou, is really not expensive, so Xingyan will analyze it carefully with the girl. Hearing such a recommendation, Ling Yi'er of course had no objection, and added two more crumb rice balls according to the words.

The guy from Wanghulou who was greeting him on the side was the little guy who was familiar with Xingyan. The last time I saw him bring that Ju Ying, he was already very surprised, and this time I saw Xingyan come with this very beautiful girl, and I was even more surprised, and said that this kid has been strange lately, and knows so many good people.

While they were ordering, although the guy didn't dare to look at the scorching girl, he couldn't help but pay attention to the awakening words, and he couldn't help but ask.

Of course, although it was very amazing, but in the end, the guy's duty still didn't let this little guy act rashly. After the two of them ordered the food, they sang loudly and left.

As soon as the guy left, Lingyi'er couldn't help but ask Xingyan:

"The girl who came here with you last time...... Is she good-looking?"

Although grandpa had already told himself that the girl Yingyu, that is, the "Juying" in Xingyan's mouth, looked like a Lingrui fairy seedling, very beautiful and beautiful, but her girl's real surname still made her can't help but ask.

When it comes to the girl Juying, Xingyan has some mixed feelings in his heart. Turning his head to look at the smoke and water reflected in the moonlight of the lake outside the window, he pondered for a moment and replied:

"Ju Ying is very beautiful. She looks ......"

"The mountains are brow-raising and discolored, and the water is unclear when it meets the eyes. ”
