In early summer, the fragrance of lotus, the wind is gentle.
Inside the East Palace, Chu Yuan was sitting behind the desk, flipping through a pile of idle books in front of him - it was brought back by the previous guard when he left the palace, and he wrote some folk anecdotes, which was quite interesting to watch.
After noon, the temperature became a little sultry, Sixi pushed the door and glanced at it quietly, and said cautiously: "Prince, can you pass some desserts to cool off the heat?"
"Don't eat." Chu Yuan dropped the book, "My father wants to entertain the King of Southwest today, should this start?"
"It started half an hour ago." Sixi said, "King Gaoli is also there, and he also brought a dancer to help. I heard that it was very lively. The emperor sent a message that if the prince is more comfortable, he will also join the party. past."
Chu Yuan pouted: "I'm not going."
Si Xi naturally knew that he did not suffer from heat stroke, but he didn't know what he was making trouble for. He refused to eat breakfast or lunch, nor did he go to banquets. He had been sitting in the study and reading books without a word. After thinking about it, he still dared to say: "The old slave just asked, this time only the King of the Southwest entered the palace, and the son of Duan Xiao was not there."
Chu Yuan frowned when he heard the words, looked up and said, "He didn't come this time?"
"I'm here, but I didn't enter the palace." Sixi said, "According to Duan Wangye, I'm going to see some friends on the rivers and lakes."
"A friend on the rivers and lakes?" Chu Yuan stood up, "Who is it?"
"I don't know." Sixi was embarrassed.
Chu Yuan asked again, "Where did you go?"
Sixi smiled apologetically, "I don't know about this."
Chu Yuan: "..."
Chu Yuan said: "Humph."
"Prince, Prince, walk slowly." Sixi trotted after him, "Be careful of falling." What happened.
Chu Yuan went back to the bedroom all the way.
"Prince?" Si Xi smiled and tried.
"No one is allowed to quarrel with me." Chu Yuan pulled the quilt over his head.
"Yes." Sixi felt guilty, what to do when it was hot and stuffy.
After a while, Chu Yuan pushed the quilt aside and continued to sleep on his stomach.
Si Xi sneaked her head in.
Chu Yuan looked at him faintly.
Si Xi hurriedly retreated, stood at the door and continued to be puzzled, and it was a good thing that the little prince didn't come to the palace, why did the prince seem to be in a better mood than the first few times.
An hour later, another guard came to pass the message, saying that the banquet had been dispersed, and the King of Southwest and others had also returned. The emperor asked the prince to rest well, so there was no need to go.
Chu Yuan said: "Dinner is not necessary anymore."
Sixi said, "Huh?"
"Don't follow anyone." Chu Yuan rolled over and got out of bed, "I'm going to go shopping in the Imperial Garden."
Sixi sighed with her hands in her hands, this little prince of the Southwest Mansion didn't know what was going on, no matter whether he entered the palace or not, he had the ability to provoke the prince.
The night was getting darker, but the liveliness of the city did not disappear. The restaurants are staggered, two strings of red lanterns swaying in the wind, the people on the street are chatting and laughing, and there are merchants from all over the world, as long as you shout at the top of your voice, the security will be answered by your fellow villagers, and you will take them to the street to drink together. With a bowl of mung bean soup to cool off the heat, I have another friend.
Sikong Rui said, "Tsk tsk, it really is a big place."
Duan Baiyue asked: "Do you really want to meddle in this business?"
"How can you be a nosy." Sikong Rui said, "Rescue the beautiful sister Yu Shui Huo, this is a good deed, even if you move to the stage, you can sing for three days."
Duan Baiyue looked up at the red and green building in front of her eyes and asked, "Where is the back door?"
"It's not that I don't have money, and I went to the back door." Si Kongrui tugged at his belt, "We swagger in."
Duan Baiyue said: "You look only twelve years old."
Sikong Rui said, "I was only twelve years old."
Duan Baiyue looked at him.
Sikong Rui pondered for a moment, then said, "Why don't you act as a prostitute, you are older, and you will be fifteen next year."
Duan Baiyue asked again: "Where is the back door?"
Sikong Rui pointed angrily, still wanting to go to the front door.
Duan Baiyue jumped up and turned over the alley in two steps. Si Kongrui followed closely. In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared into the night. Only a little boy of six or seven years old was left, white and tender, wearing brocade and jade, holding a candy man in his hand, standing blankly on the spot.
Duan Yao: "..."
Duan Yao said, "Brother."
A trafficker came over, saw no one around, smiled and hugged him and left.
Duan Yao: "???"
Sikong Rui realized it later and said, "We seem to have lost Yao'er."
Duan Baiyue said: "It's okay."
Sikong Rui said, "Oh."
The inside of Zuixianxiang Tower is not small, Duan Baiyue asked, "Where is the person you want to save?"
Sikong Rui said: "If you follow the routine in the play, it is 80% in the firewood room."
Duan Baiyue picked up a person and asked, "Where is the firewood house?"
The man was so drunk that he said, "Little Yue'er, dance a song for this uncle."
Duan Baiyue flew a punch and hit the person into the water tank. After a clatter, there was a wailing like a pig: "It's murdered."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Sikong Rui hurriedly pulled Duan Baiyue away, and flew up to a three-story building before Guinu arrived, "Don't make trouble, you said you're here to save the elder sister in the daytime."
Duan Baiyue swept him away, lying on the railing and looking down.
Sikong Rui said firmly: "I have seen the firewood house."
"I'm here to watch the wind for you." Duan Baiyue patted him on the shoulder, "Go quickly, maybe the elder sister was bullied during the day, and she was crying and waiting for you to save her."
Hearing that, Sikong Rui really started to burn, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the woodshed, aggressive.
Duan Baiyue straightened her clothes, jumped down from the downstairs, and landed steadily in a quiet alley.
Chu Yuan was shocked.
Duan Baiyue smiled and said, "Why are you here?"
Chu Yuan looked up at the small building he jumped from, and said, "I'm here to visit the brothel."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Duan Baiyue said: "Listen to my explanation."
"I want you to explain what you're doing." Chu Yuan bypassed him and continued to walk forward, "Whatever you want to do, don't follow me."
"I was brought here by a friend, and he wants to save a big sister." Duan Baiyue said, "That sister was bullied on the street during the day, sigh... Okay, I was wrong, I was wrong and wrong. ."
Chu Yuan let go of his hand: "No, yes, follow, write, Ben, Wang."
"I originally wanted to come back to you at night." Duan Baiyue stood in front of him, "In the daytime, King Gaoli was there at the banquet, and I knew you would definitely not go. Just as Yaoer headed back to Wangcheng, I took him with me. Look at the fun."
"Your brother?" Chu Yuan asked, "Where are the others?"
Duan Baiyue looked around and said, "I can't find it anymore."
…
Duan Yao said, "I want to eat that."
The traffickers just acted as the stupid son of a big family who had kidnapped him, afraid that he would make trouble on the street if he couldn't eat, so he took out the copper plate from his pocket and bought it. Who would have thought that this purchase would be out of control, and I had to buy everything along the way, to eat, play, and wear, even a bunch of dried chili peppers. After spending the money, I thought again that this little boy from a wealthy family might wear some gold and silver bracelets, so he started to dig it out of his pocket.
Duan Yao bit the cake and said vaguely, "It will bite."
The trafficker screamed and fell to the ground, looking at a small red and black snake on his arm, half of his body was cold and numb.
Duan Yao swallowed the noodle cake, and repeated the milky voice again: "Poisonous, it will bite."
Outside the house, the killer from the Southwest Mansion knocked on the door impatiently, thinking that this person, carrying my little son home, was doing something like a great man, but he didn't see any movement after following him all the way.
Duan Yao ran out by himself, dragging a bunch of dried chili peppers in his hand, and waved: "Go, go back!"
The subordinate agreed, carried him onto his horse, and hurried back to the palace all the way.
Chu Yuan saw it from a distance and asked, "Is it from your Southwest Mansion?"
Duan Baiyue nodded, leaning against the railing to see the night scene. The two were eating on a pagoda at this time, and when they looked down, the entire royal city was lit up, like a prosperous world.
Duan Baiyue handed him a small grilled fish.
Chu Yuan said: "No, it's spicy."
Duan Baiyue said: "Everything in the southwest is spicy."
Chu Yuan looked into the distance: "What's the matter with me?"
Duan Baiyue muttered something.
Chu Yuan raised his hand and slapped it.
Why is it so fierce... Duan Baiyue was holding half a chicken wing in her mouth, her face sullen.
"Is your injury healed?" After a while, Chu Yuan asked again.
Duan Baiyue rolled up his sleeves and showed him - there was a scary red scar on his arm. Although the wound had healed, it was still scary to look at.
"Life is big, the bones are not broken." Duan Baiyue fed him a candy. The weather was too hot, and most of the powdered sugar wrapped around it had melted, leaving sticky syrup on his hands. Duan Baiyue sucked his fingers and asked, "What else do you want to eat? I'll buy it for you."
Chu Yuan took his hand.
Duan Baiyue was surprised and delighted, and before she had time to hold it back, she had already been dragged and jumped off the nine-story pagoda.
"Scared me to death." Duan Baiyue let out a long sigh and gently placed the person in his arms on the ground. "Fortunately, I responded quickly, otherwise what would you do if you fell."
Chu Yuan: "..."
He always thought that his kung fu was not low, but why this person was able to pick him up in the blink of an eye, he was still in the air, it was a ghost.
"What's wrong?" Duan Baiyue approached him and asked carefully.
"No." Chu felt a little uncomfortable, and Yuan avoided his sight.
Duan Baiyue smiled.
Chu Yuan frowned: "What are you laughing at!"
"Why can you laugh." Duan Baiyue said a little rascally, "I'm happy."
"Let's go." Chu Yuan said, "Let me show you something."
Duan Baiyue asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chu Yuan said: "Get out of the city."
Duan Baiyue was surprised: "Is this out of the city?"
Chu Yuan had already walked towards the city gate alone.
There were guards to investigate, and they couldn't get out of the city in an open and honest way, but both of them were experts, and they were easily out of the city. It was extremely quiet on the mountain road, and after walking for about an hour, I arrived at a hill. The gloomy wind was blowing, and there was a rancid smell all around.
Duan Baiyue was a little puzzled: "Why did you come to the mass grave?"
"The one lying down here is the one who hurt you in the first place." Chu Yuan said, "Eighteen, none are missing."
Duan Baiyue frowned: "I said that you are not allowed to intervene. If the emperor knows about it, this is not a small mistake."
Chu Yuan said: "I didn't receive your reply at that time."
Duan Baiyue: "..."
Lying on the bed half-dead, what to do.
Chu Yuan said: "So they must die."
Duan Baiyue was dumbfounded.
"You'll be fine." Chu Yuan said lightly, "Go back to the palace."
The mountain road is very narrow, and Duan Baiyue is behind him, walking and saying, "Are you unhappy again?"
Chu Yuan didn't speak.
Duan Baiyue scratched her heart and said, "I didn't mean to not reply to your letter, next time, even if my arm is broken next time, I'll... be careful!"
Chu Yuan grabbed his collar and pressed the man against the mountain wall.
"God." Duan Baiyue put his hands around his waist, forced the two to change positions, and imprisoned him between his arms and the rock, before he breathed a sigh of relief, "There is a cliff below, you don't want to die. already."
Chu Yuan looked at him, the moon was bright in the sky, and all the hidden stars fell into his eyes.
Duan Baiyue was stunned for a moment, and felt that he should be dazzled. He wanted to get closer to see more clearly, but Chu Yuan had turned his head to the side, leaving him only a side face: "Let me go."
Duan Baiyue was a little at a loss, and his mind was full of that glance. Previously, he would only make people angry and then shy, but he didn't think about what to do next if he made his eyes red.
The surroundings were very quiet, Chu Yuan gently broke away from his arms and said, "Don't get hurt in the future."
"I won't have an accident." Duan Baiyue followed behind him and hurriedly said, "I want to live a hundred years, and in the future, I will take it with me and go back to the southwest." In the end, the voice was very low, and I didn't know. Did the other party listen to the request
Chu Yuan quickened his pace.
Duan Baiyue said again: "Southwest is fine."
Chu Yuan asked, "How good is it?"
"The scenery of Erhai Lake is more beautiful than Jiangnan in March." Duan Baiyue said, "You can eat anything you want, and there will be a meeting every three or five days. The stockades of ten miles and eight townships will gather together to sing and dance. How about it, do you like it?"
Chu Yuan said: "I don't like it."
Duan Baiyue took the opportunity to say: "There is still me in the southwest, what about me, do you like it?"
Chu Yuan stopped.
Duan Baiyue looked excited.
After a while, chickens and dogs jumped on the mountain road, and the prince of the Southwest House ran around with his head in his hands.
"When I didn't say it, when I didn't say it was okay? Hey, here is the jujube thorn, here is the pond... Ah!"
With a thud, a person-high water splashed. Duan Baiyue wiped the water on his face and threw himself to the shore, crying without tears: "I said there is a pond."
Chu Yuan: "..."
"Come down together?" Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand, "It's pretty cool."
Chu Yuan said: "Think beautifully."
Duan Baiyue made a face at him suddenly.
Chu Yuan: "Pfft."
"Ken laughed?" Duan Baiyue played a splash at him, "Silly."
Chu Yuan threw him a handkerchief, turned around and walked down the mountain. Duan Baiyue took a few steps to catch up, wet and wet, a little embarrassed, but she didn't take it seriously, but her heart was quite happy.
The moonlight was like water, pulling the shadows of the two very long.
