At night, the back garden of the Huaiqing Marquis Mansion is quiet, and on the shore of the Mo Lake, the silver mist-like moonlight illuminates a quiet path. A night watchman came www.biquge.info humming a tune, and as he walked away, the flowers beside the path shook a few times like a gust of wind, and then a boy crawled out lightly. The boy looked left and right, turned around and beckoned, and shouted in a low voice, "Second sister, come out quickly!"

So a small head poked out of the flowers, and a girl asked suspiciously: "Fourth brother, where are you going to take me?"

"Come with me, I'll be there soon. ”

"Oh...... , not to do something bad, right?"

"Fourth brother, I'm so stupid, I can't even learn the homework taught by Mr. Kong, how can I learn to do bad things?"

“...... So why do you want to be sneaky?"

"This is our secret, and we can't let anyone know about it. ”

These two children are Lin Yi and Lin Peili. Lin Peili didn't know what secret Lin Yi wanted to share with herself, so she followed curiously, walked forward for a distance, and the two of them went into a flower field by the lake one after the other. She is no stranger to this flower field, she used to like to hide here alone and watch the scenery of Mohu Lake, but a year ago she secretly painted a boating picture of her brothers and sisters and witnessed the tragic death of Liu Er, this place has become her forbidden place, she has never been here again. Now that Lin Yi brought her over, she couldn't help but think of the cursed painting again, and the shock of Liu Er falling in a pool of blood, her heart trembled suddenly. And when Lin Yi pointed out a small pointed grave head to her seriously, she almost turned around and ran away.

The fields were filled with trees not much taller than them, but they were enough to keep the two children out of the moonlight. Between the shadows, the grave is only half the height of Lin Peili, and there is a wooden plaque erected in front of the grave, on which are crookedly engraved a few words: The tomb of Xiao Wu Lin Dusk.

"Fourth brother," the little girl's voice trembled slightly, "is this the fifth brother's ......?"

"Clothed mound," Lin Yi said word by word, patting his chest at the same time, "I stole two pieces of clothes worn by Xiao Wu from Yingluo Garden and buried them in it." Because Xiao Wu lost it, he couldn't even find his body, so he had to make a grave for him like this. Shhhhhhhhh ”

After speaking, he saw Lin Peili standing there, so he urged impatiently: "Don't stand stupidly, come and bow to your fifth brother and cry twice!"

"But ......" Lin Peili bit her lip and stopped talking.

"But what is it? Aren't you sad at all when you die of an older brother?" Lin Yi stared at him and shook his head, "Hmph, no wonder Mr. Kong said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, and women are the most ruthless." Last night, I called my sister over, and my sister said that I was bored, and you will only say that but, Xiao Wu will definitely die!"

"But the fifth brother is not dead!"

Lin Peili was robbed by Lin Yi for a while, and she couldn't help but burst out of her heart. Lin Yi was surprised, stunned, and immediately asked, "How do you know that you are not dead?"

"No one said," Lin Peili shook her head, "Anyway, it's not dead." After the news of the fifth brother being abducted again and returning to the Lin Mansion, she would take out the painting every day to observe it, if the fifth brother died, the human form on the painting would dissipate, but although the human figure became shallow and almost nonexistent for a while, it also made her sad and depressed for a long time, thinking that her "curse" had finally killed the fifth brother, but now it has recovered as before, and the color is still bright. So she concluded that the fifth brother was not dead, but she didn't know where he was taken captive, and he hadn't found it yet. But the story of that painting was her secret, and she couldn't tell.

"How can you not find it if you are not dead?" Lin Yi still chased after him.

"I heard my mother say, this time my father didn't ask, and the guards and attendants in the house didn't care, how could they find it?"

Lin Yi was stunned for a while, and then sat on Lin Duan's grave with his ass, and said angrily: "Isn't it because Xiao Wu can't practice? But how can I say that it is also my father's son, the young master of the Hou Mansion, why is it like losing a dog in the mansion, and ignore it? You say, if we can't practice, will we also be driven away like this, and no one will pay attention to anything that happens?"

Lin Peili said in her heart, "That's the case", but said: "But we can practice, my father said that in a few years we can go to Kyoto to go to the spirit." ”

Lin Yi glared at him dissatisfiedly: "I mean, what if, what if we can't?"

There is no case, Lin Peili thought to herself, the fourth brother is the fourth brother, the fifth brother is the fifth brother, Xiaoli is Xiaoli, everyone is destined, everyone has a lot of things they don't like, but they have to face it. She stretched out her hand and broke off a bouquet of flower branches, leaned over and inserted it in front of Lin Du's grave, then straightened up and looked at Lin Yi, and said softly: "Fourth brother, you have collapsed the grave of the fifth brother, and the tombstone has been kicked crooked, get up quickly." ”

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

The wind and sand are long, shrouding the Phantom Sea Desert in the night, so that the light of the stars and the moon is covered with a layer of cold yellow, and no matter how desperately you try, you can't light the way forward for the pedestrians between the sand dunes. However, this pedestrian was obviously not unfamiliar with the gift of their light, and her small hand as slender as white jade was covered with a small cloud of fiery golden light, like the most dazzling lantern, and the surrounding ten meters were illuminated.

It was just a teenage girl, with a pink and glamorous little face, an expression as proud as a princess, a beige dress fluttering in the wind and sand, and a shawl long hair that naturally drooped like water. I think there is some means to suppress the reckless wind and sand, so that it cannot invade the face.

Four or five paces behind the girl, a white cat was standing upright on its hind legs, its soles stepping on the fine sand like flat ground, not splashing a single speck of dust, but its body was swaying back and forth, like an ugly duckling running towards a pond. The white cat made a strange sound while shaking and walking, as if someone had stuck its neck: "Duck Duck thinks the wind and sand are too big, Duck Duck can't walk, Duck Duck wants to go home, Miss Pei Xuan, shall we go home?"

"No, let's find the sand thief's lair. Lin Peixuan refused.

The girl looked down for blood in the sand as she walked. Earlier, a man wearing a hat and a cloak suddenly appeared and attacked them, and was wounded by a white cat and fled. They suspect that the other party is a sand thief who haunts the desert, and the sand thief is likely to be related to Lin Dusk's whereabouts. Of course, this is just speculation, but they can only guess like this, there is only this bandit force around here.

This time Lin Du was lost, and the Hou Mansion didn't take it seriously at all, and only symbolically sent people to look for it for half a month, and then no one helped. Lin Peixuan begged her mother to send someone to find her, but her mother said that the house was busy and couldn't spare people. The girl only felt a sadness in her heart, in fact, she knew that since Lin Du was judged to be unable to practice, he was no longer the young master of the Lin Mansion, and now no one cared about his life and death anymore.

If she hadn't been in the library a year ago, she would have been disdainful of this unqualified brother. But she couldn't forget the suspicious magic circle qualification determination, she had taken Lin Yi and Lin Peili to the library afterwards, in fact, there was no problem with the magic circle there, only strange results appeared on Lin Dui, so she still felt that the full qualification would not be so simple. What's more, Lin Dui saved her after all, and did not leave her at the most critical moment, even if she knew that Lin Dui's identity was very problematic, she still hoped that he was safe.

She traded a hundred baskets of apples to the white cat for a chance to travel. It took the white cat three months to prepare for a makeshift circle that would spread to the Phantom Sea Desert, and of course the reason why it was so slow was because it was busy carving apples most of the time.

The Phantom Sea Desert is close to the Sand Water City, and it is a treacherous place infested by sand thieves in recent years. However, how could a small force of sand thieves be placed in the eyes of the Lin family? It was a pity that the Hou Mansion did not make any efforts, and the city lord of Shashui City did not take this matter to heart. How difficult it is to find someone in the vast sea of sand is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Lin Peixuan still came. Luckily, she wounded a sand thief, and it should be possible to find the sand thief's lair along his bloodstains, but unfortunately the wind and sand were too strong tonight, and the blood on the ground was quickly covered up.

"Miss Pei Xuan, Ya Ya thinks it's useless to look for it like this. Young Master Lin Duan has been missing for so long, either he has long since become a sand thief, or he has long been turned into a pile of sand by a sand thief. The white cat learned the voice of a male duck and said respectful but rather inappropriate words.

"Shut up!" Lin Peixuan didn't believe that Lin Dui was dead, but she couldn't help but be upset for a while, "If you don't talk nonsense, will you die?"

"Yes!" replied to the white cat as he walked, "Duck Duck will definitely die if he doesn't speak, if Duck Duck dies......"

"Then you will die!" Lin Peixuan stomped her feet hatefully, and quickened her pace angrily.

The "duck cat" staggered and swayed to keep up, and his mouth was still chattering: "It's strange, you can't beat the sand thief, why do you want the duck duck to die? If the duck duck dies, who will help you fight the sand thief? If you can't beat the sand thief, how can you save your lover?......

Lin Peixuan stopped and turned around, staring fiercely at the white cat on the ground with a pair of big eyes. Despite the indescribable cuteness of this angry expression, the white cat still swayed back a few steps, made a trembling look, and muttered, "Duck duck...... I know ...... wrong."

"I repeat, that's my brother! Brother brother, brother, brother, not a lover!

"I heard it, my brother, ...... lover"

"Get out!"

Lin Peixuan was embarrassed and helpless. The blood was completely invisible, and the sand thieves were completely gone, and her heart sank again, and the white cat kept talking nonsense in her ear, making a bad joke with the sound of a duck, and she was upset. Everywhere around, it was dark and the sky was boundless, and the girl suddenly felt so small, so helpless and hopeless. In fact, she just wanted to do her part, wanting to repay Lin Dui's sacrifice for protecting her life when the star beast was around, but she couldn't do anything.

Okay, I've really done my best, maybe Lin Dui has really turned into a handful of yellow sand under his feet, as the white cat said, right?

She turned abruptly and walked back the way she had come. The white cat was rolling around in the sand at her command, and when she saw this, she quickly shook the sand on her body and swayed to follow: "Miss Pei Xuan, are you going to take the duck duck home?"

In the vast wind and sand, Lin Peixuan had an arrogant little face, stepped on the footprints when she came, and let the white cat jump up and down left and right in front of and behind her, and never said a word again.

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

The pale moon hung on the delicate willow branches, hanging in the soft water, and with the rumbling sound of the walls collapsing, the moon in the pool twisted and shattered, and the moon on the willow branches shook and shivered.

Wu Shanyue had just snatched out of Tanah Lot Temple with a few books, and the roof of the temple collapsed, and the ruins behind him were full of smoke and dust. The girl's face turned pale, and she turned around and shouted in panic: "Black Bean!" But when she saw Black Bean come out of the smoke and dust, she shook the dust off her body, ran to her and put the two cistanches in her mouth at her feet.

Wu Shanyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that it was fine. A man and a dog stood under the willow trees by the pool, staring at the ruins of Tanah Lot Temple.

She was awakened by the sound of people digging at the wall, and when she turned over and sat up, the moonlight was shining in the middle of a collapsed wall, and several figures with iron tools were shaking in the moonlight, and every few times a wall of earth rumbled down.

This is a mob sent by the Reversionists. A few days ago, they had posted a notice on the door of Tanah Lot that the Christians had taken a fancy to this place and wanted to establish a church college here. The surrounding houses have all been demolished, but those people moved out voluntarily, and only Wu Shanyue ignored the church's notice. She is a descendant of the sea god, and the sea temple is her home, if she doesn't leave, will anyone still forcibly demolish the sea temple?

But her home was torn down. If she had woken up a little later, she would have been buried in the rubble. No one cares about her little life, no, maybe someone does, they just want her to die. She didn't die, but her home was gone, and the temple had the tables, chairs, chopsticks, and clothes she had saved up to buy, the cistanche she had dug up and was reluctant to use, and the necklace she had made out of the most beautiful shells, which was intended for Lin Dui, but they were all crushed under the ruins.

But it was nothing, she came from the sea, she was alone, she had nothing, but she was back to that starting point. Alone again, and with nothing. First he lost Lin Duan, and then he lost his home. But fortunately, she has a puppy, and Lin Du explained that it guards herself, and it has always faithfully guarded herself, never far away. So she called out "Black Bean, go" very freely, and then the girl picked up the book, the black bean picked up Cistanche, and a person and a dog turned around and walked towards the depths of the moonlight.

When she turned around, the girl thought to herself, even if Lin Dui is not at home, it doesn't matter, when I grow up, I will give birth to Lin Dui's child and me, I will raise him alone, love him and protect him, just like my mother raised me and my brother.

Hmph, what's there to be afraid of!

The young girl thought of a great thing and stepped through the moonlight, but suddenly stopped. In the middle of the road in the moonlight stood a young woman, her long dress swaying gently in the night breeze, her smile as gentle and elegant as the night they first met last year. In fact, the girl hadn't seen her for a while, and all these days she had been going back and forth to the surrounding towns in search of her son's whereabouts, but tonight she came again, with her familiar smile on her face.

The girl suddenly felt an indescribable excitement, and instinctively wanted to run over and throw herself into the other party's arms, but finally she couldn't hold back and didn't move, but just called out a little choked: "Aunt Hua......"

As soon as the voice came out, tears suddenly began to roll in her eyes, she quickly turned her back, reached out to wipe her tears, and then a warm embrace wrapped her petite body from behind.

"Good, go home with Aunt Hua, from now on, the two of us will live together. Jin Luohua said softly.

"Hmm!" the girl nodded heavily. She had rejected the same suggestion many times, but today she agreed, not because she had no home, but because she suddenly felt that she too would be alone. Aunt Hua, who also lost Lin Dui, must be the same.

"Twilight, he's not dead, he'll be back in seven years, we'll wait for him together. ”

Jin Luohua's voice poured softly and softly in the moonlight, but the girl suddenly heard a spring thunder. She turned around abruptly and looked up at Jin Luohua, tears still shining in her beautiful eyes. She opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't ask out loud, just stared straight into Jin Luohua's eyes, until the corners of Jin Luohua's mouth pulled up an arc, the light in her eyes turned, and she nodded softly to her.

The girl suddenly hugged Jin Luohua's body, her body trembled, and she sobbed silently.

The shadows on the long street are like banks, and the moonlight is like a river. Jin Luohua walked along the river, holding the sleeping Wu Shanyue in her arms. These days, Lin Dui's whereabouts are unknown, life and death are unknown, and the girl is also tortured and unable to sleep peacefully, as soon as she gets the news that Lin Dui is safe, she whimpered for a long time and then fell asleep.

Jin Luohua's news came from a letter, the Chinese character of the letter is clear and beautiful, and at first glance it is clear that it was written by a girl, but the signature of Li Haichao is crookedly written at the drop desk. The content of the letter is very simple, only saying that Lin Du is all right in Liuli Valley, the ancestral land of the Li family, but due to the clan rules, he can't go out for the time being, and it will take seven years before the mother and son can be reunited, so Jin Luohua can wait with peace of mind.

She wasn't sure the news was true. But there is better news than no news, and hope is better than no hope. She has exhausted all means, but she can't find her ancestral land, and she can't find Li Haichao, so what can she do but wait patiently? Fortunately, there is still Yue'er, and this little girl who is half a daughter-in-law and half a daughter is here, and she can't let her be hurt a little more. She had to stay by the girl's side all the time, teach her to practice, and raise her. Seven years later, if Lin Dui comes back, it will be a family reunion, and if Lin Dui fails to come back, she will really accept Yue'er as her righteous daughter.

When there is more expectation, there is less sorrow. Jin Luohua picked up his tired body, cleaned up his depressed mood, and walked all the way along the street. It's just that there are strange trees in front of the street, and a little cold moon peeps at people in the shadows of the trees, and they seem to be smiling but not smiling.
