Chapter 4 Chanying Lotus
Shaohua is fleeting, and no matter how beautiful things are, they can't resist the erosion of time, and so do human beings and flowers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under the moonlit night, next to the dead tree.
The dreamlike sight lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and the pale yellow light, which was not dazzling but bright, gradually became dim, transparent, and close to nothing. Even the little golden fluorescent fluorescent light that was still flying around the body a moment ago was blown by a gust of wind, straight into the sky, and dissipated in the vast sky.
The withered branches that have lost the support of this force, the delicate flowers on them seem to have been drained of life in an instant, showing a wilted and wrinkled decadence, and crumbling.
Suddenly, there was a soft sound, like a murmur from ancient times, and a petal was finally overwhelmed, and slid down the invisible air flow to the surface of the ground covered with green bricks, and the first petal fell, and the second and third ...... The remaining petals were unwilling to be lonely, scrambling to follow the trajectory of the previous one, falling one after another, lightly pointing to the ground, like a flat lake falling in the depths of the soul, with several ripples, opening the door to the most true and good soul.
"It's a pity......" Mo Xiaoye sighed, looked at the petals that floated to the ground and were sent away by a breeze, and said abruptly.
"But it also fulfilled its mission. Nodding and looking at the branches in her hands that had turned into ashes at some point, the woman in the yellow shirt smiled unusually with relief, raised her right hand, and let the breeze take away the only remaining ashes in her hand, her sleeves flew up, and the long hair draped behind her flew into the air, and there was an indescribable dust and beauty.
But seeing the fine fragrant sweat on the forehead of the woman in the yellow shirt, you can know that the wonder that was displayed by some means just now is far from being as relaxed and freehand as it seems on the surface now.
"I finally understand why you're not scared at all when you see my discolored pupils. Mo Xiaoxie's eyes were glazed, and he said to himself in a trance.
"Huh?" the woman in the yellow shirt heard the voice, and turned her head, intriguing what kind of answer he could realize from everything he had just seen.
"The townsfolk always call me a 'monster', it seems that they are really wrong, I don't know how to use any magic methods, how can I be a monster? Mo Xiaoxie first sighed and shook his head, then slapped his thigh, and suddenly realized, his performance was vivid, and he couldn't resist the strange color under his eyes.
The woman in the yellow shirt grew up in an extremely special environment since she was a child, and no one around her would lie to her, this is not an excellent acting act, but she didn't see through it at once, she smiled in disbelief, put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and asked curiously: "Since you say that I am a monster, then guess what kind of demon I am?"
"The vixen is a vixen who comes to the man's residence alone at night and sucks yang energy. Mo Xiaoxie clapped his hands and replied seriously and affirmatively.
Although Mo Xiaoxie said that he didn't have many friends, but there were many people in the inn, and after a long time, he also knew some folk anecdotes through hearsay, and the fox spirit was just one of the strange stories he heard the most.
How can it be a vixen?
In the thought of the woman in the yellow shirt, she had used that spell just now, and Mo Xiaoye would probably guess that she was a monster such as a flower demon and a tree demon, but she didn't expect that what came out of his mouth would be a fox spirit. I don't show my clothes, and I can't think of how Mo Xiaoxie came to the conclusion, and when I turned my head and just wanted to ask Mo Xiaoxie the reason, my eyes flickered, and I suddenly found that the smile in the depths of his eyes could no longer be hidden, even if she didn't know anything about the world, she knew that she was being played by the young man in front of her, facing Mo Xiaoxie sideways, her eyes rolled slightly, she smiled slyly, and calculated in her heart.
When she raised her head again, her face was already as pale as frost, she snorted coldly with a calm face, and she didn't speak, she was angry, and walked straight to the front hall, looking very angry, and she didn't want to talk anymore, so she wanted to go back to rest.
Although the snort was not loud, it scared Mo Xiaoxie a lot, and finally met such a friend who was not afraid of his natural difference and talked very happily, and he was going to lose it now?
Huo Ran got up, I don't know if it was because I was in a hurry to get up or because I didn't eat, my brain was 'buzzing' for a while, and my legs were a little numb because of the lack of blood flow in a posture for a long time, like a drunk man stumbling a few steps, so he hung and fell, and he still shouted to himself: "Girl, go slowly, I was just joking, I didn't really think like that, don't be angry." ”
He grinned and smoothed his legs, trying to quickly restore sensation to his numb legs, so that he could catch up and explain clearly.
"Pss
The woman in the yellow shirt who was still with a straight face a moment ago and pretended to be angry was not good at acting, isn't this Seeing Mo Xiaoxie's embarrassment, she couldn't hold back her laughter, and when she turned around and saw his stunned expression, she smiled and bent over.
Mo Xiaoxie stared at the yellow-shirted woman's cheeks that were a little reddened with a smile, and for some reason remembered the thrilling flower that Shicai had seen, and he was so stupid that he was out of the world for a while, and he didn't even know when the yellow-shirted woman left.
Whose fantasies did the cold wind take away, and whose thoughts did it bring back?
Mo Xiaoxie stood like this, forgetting the soreness of his legs, forgetting where he was, and forgetting the passage of time. I don't know how long it lasted, maybe a quarter of an hour, maybe half an hour, maybe he wanted it to be like this forever.
The cold of the night made Mo Xiaoye shiver, and when he reacted, the cold had already invaded the bone marrow.
Vaguely remembering the words of the woman in the yellow shirt when she was leaving, Mo Xiaoye looked at the food box that was inadvertently placed under the dead tree when he broke the branch, walked over slowly, picked up the food box and held it in his arms, just sat quietly under the dead tree where a branch was intercepted, leaned on the trunk, and quietly opened the lid on the top of the food box.
Fortunately, it was still warm, and I carefully took a bite and put it in my mouth, this meal was unprecedentedly delicious, and I ate it in small bites, and the residual flowers that fell to the ground did not know where they were rolled, but the bursts of fragrance were still beside me, and the yellow figure was still smiling like a lotus flower when he left.
This night, it will be a long ......
When the sunlight is projected on the earth, the light shines into the backyard of the inn, like the first light of the first opening of heaven and earth, warm and dazzling.
The sound of small footsteps came, and he took two quick steps when he got closer.
"Why are you like this? I haven't slept all night?" came a young man of the same age as Mo Xiaoxi, it was the young man who leaned against the corner of the wall yesterday, worried about Mo Xiaoxie, he wanted to come last night, he didn't want Jiang Rong to look at it tightly, he didn't come out, he came over early this morning to see how Mo Xiaoxie was, and when he saw the sluggish Mo Xiaoxie, he was shocked, and even his timbre became a little sharp under his exclamation.
"Yes. He replied lightly, and with bloodshot eyes, Mo Xiaoxiao replied weakly.
"How can this be done?" said the young man.
Mo Xiaoxie waved his hand indifferently, telling him not to worry too much, but after a night of thinking and struggling, he clearly felt that his chest and abdomen were empty, and his spirit seemed to be a little insufficient.
"Alas, I don't know where you offended him, Steward Jiang always did such an excessive thing to you. The young man sighed and complained about Mo Xiaoxiao.
Glancing at the young man standing beside him, this guy who has only been here for half a month, Mo Xiaoxie's attitude towards him is not very enthusiastic, in his opinion, the young man can treat himself like an ordinary person, just because he doesn't know his secrets yet, once he knows, he will definitely avoid himself like everyone else.
For some reason, at this moment, he remembered the woman who made the "demon law" last night, and remembered every word she said last night.
"The world is big, and the town of Maple Birch ...... It's too small. When the woman dressed in moonlight said this, she was serious and plain, quite a peerless and independent demeanor.
"Li Ming. ”
"Huh?" he rarely called his name on weekdays, the young man named Li Ming thought to himself.
"Do you say this world is big?" Mo Xiaoxie looked straight ahead with hazy eyes, lost focus, and muttered.
It seemed that he didn't expect Mo Xiaoxie to ask such a strange and difficult question, Li Ming scratched his hair, thought for a moment and replied: "I really don't know if this world is big or not, but I came to this town from my family to work, and it took me three or four days to get here on the way, so this world must be very big." ”
Is it big? So maybe ...... I can live my life in another way, like the woman in the yellow shirt.
Thinking of this, Mo Xiaoxie's heart was hot, and his eyes returned to clarity, this kind of thought together was like magma erupting from a volcano, which could not be suppressed.
"Are the guests who came last night awake?" Mo Xiaoye turned his head and asked hurriedly, his expression solemn and unprecedented.
Li Ming thought about it for a while, and knew that he was asking about those monks who were not like monks, and said with a slight smile: "You said those people, they got up early, they were eating in the front hall when I came, it won't take long, and when they finish eating, they should come to you to pick up the horses, and then go on the road." ”
So fast? Mo Xiaoxie's eyes froze, and he didn't know where the strength of his body came from, so he turned around and trotted to the shopkeeper's room, turning back as he ran, and shouted at Li Ming: "After that, the matter of the handover of the horses will be entrusted to you." ”
At the end of the sentence, the others had already run out of ten zhang away, leaving only Li Ming, who had not yet reacted, standing in place stupidly, his face stunned, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Xiaoxie had completely disappeared, and the speed of his footsteps made him out of reach.
Walking to the stable with a wry smile, Li Ming had no other way, and with a fearless spirit, he resolutely completed the glorious mission given to him by Mo Xiaoxi.
Can...... But how are the horses fed? Anyway, these horses are taller and stronger than themselves, and they can't kick people, right? Look at those snow-white teeth, wow...... It's scary.
Li Ming wanted to cry without tears, standing in front of the stable with his legs weak, staring at the horses with big eyes, and confronting each other quietly.
Mo Xiaoxie save his life......
Li Ming silently shouted in his heart, this was the only and most effective solution he thought of before his mind went blank.
