Fu Lan swept the floor, Qi Yin grabbed the lantern talisman and touched the 999-level mountain steps, not even letting go of the cracks in the stone bricks and the vines and grasses in the corners, and finally found the lilac ring at the bottom of the mountain steps. The fingernails are so big and golden. Qi Yin wiped it clean and put it in the palm of his hand, only then remembered that since he was taken lightly by Fu Lan, he had never thought of Xiaolan Xian'er. He suddenly felt that he was very frivolous, and he clearly liked others, but he didn't care about them.
Qi Yin said a sin, and carefully put the lilac ring into her purse.
Early in the morning, Qi Yin was dressed like a dog, even her hair was neatly tucked, and she was waiting on the mountain road. Lan Xian'er walked over to her, still wearing a plain-bottomed floral shirt and a home-made skirt, with the scent of orchids on her body. Standing beside her, Qi Yin felt light and airy all over her body.
"Sang Ruo said that my lilac ring is with you." Lan Xian'er said.
"Ah, yes." Qi Yin hurriedly took out her purse, took out the lilac ring clumsily, and put it into her palm.
"Thank you." Lan Xian'er smiled.
Her smile was light and faint, as if it was transparent in the face of the morning sun. Qi Yin was stunned, blushing, and said in a low voice, no need, and walked slowly along the mountain road beside her. The gravel road is winding, with tangled weeds planted on both sides. Qi Yin looked back at the footprints of the two people side by side, and felt a little unreal in a trance.
"Is that your forbidden place over there?" Lan Xian'er asked, pointing to the mountains opposite.
"Well," Qi Yin said, "you can't go to that place, there are many big monsters in it."
Lan Xian'er stuck out her tongue, "The monsters must be scary, right? I heard that they are all ugly, and they like to eat people, each one is worse than the other. Fortunately, you have swordsman, killing them all, we can only Have a good time."
Qi Yin was stunned for a moment, thinking of Fu Lan, the dead fat cat who was clamoring for the revival demon all day long but lazy to do it, and the big white wolf with mushrooms growing at the bottom of the Siguo cliff, scratching his head and saying, "I can't say that."
Lan Xian'er was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him and said, "Oh?"
"The demons are actually similar to people, some are smart, some are stupid, some are insidious and some..." Fu Lan's dazed appearance reappeared in front of him, and Qi Yin smiled, "Some are dumb and some are not. Eating people is like some people who are vegetarians and don’t eat meat. As for whether we are beautiful or ugly, we don’t look good in their eyes.” He smiled at Lan Xian’er, “If you It's a pig, and you must like a fat pig like you."
Lan Xian'er looked at him for a while, then turned her head and hummed, "You are the pig."
Qi Yin blushed, and suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that. I mean, even if you are a pig, you are the most beautiful pig."
Lan Xian: "..."
Qi Yin covered his face and wanted to cut his tongue, what the hell was he talking about
"But you're not going to keep them here." Lan Xian'er kicked the stone under her feet.
"There's no way, they eat people, can't they just let them eat all of them?" Qi Yin said.
Lan Xian'er didn't speak any more, and the two walked forward silently. Qi Yin felt a little apprehensive, he was so incapable of speaking, he didn't know how to make the girl laugh. But there is no one in the family who can ask for advice. The fat cat only knows how to eat, and the dumb brother is even more stunned than him. The two of them walked a long way, and Qi Yin spoke to her carefully: "The fat aunt from the raw medicine store said that she didn't know you. Are you new here?"
"Um."
"Are you following your parents?"
Lan Xian'er shook her head, "My father won the champion and married a rich lady, don't want me and my mother anymore."
Qi Yin was startled and wanted to comfort Lan Xian'er. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't think of anything good to say. She was sweating profusely, and finally said: "Mothers are doing well? If you need anything on weekdays, you can come to the mountain. Ask us for help."
"My mother killed my father in a fit of rage, and was put into the official prison." Lan Xian'er looked up at him, "I've been locked up for many years, she's probably dead."
When she said this, her expression was light, as if the bitter past was light and weightless. Lan Xian'er lowered her head again, and walked up and down in front of Qi Yin, picking the little wildflowers on the roadside while walking, pinning it in the black crow's hair.
Qi Yin didn't say anything, and silently followed behind her, the faint scent of orchids drifted over, wrapping around his jacket.
"Hey, Senior Brother Yun Yin," Lan Xian'er suddenly turned around and walked backwards, "Do you like me?"
A sentence resounded in his ears like thunder, Qi Yin's body was full of blood and blood rushed to her face, and she stared at her blankly, unable to say a word.
Seeing him like this, Lan Xian'er covered her mouth and giggled, and asked, "If I were a monster, would you still like me?"
Qi Yin actually knew how to answer. Girls like to ask this question, if I become ugly, will you still like me? Would you still like me if I got fat? They just want to hear: Even if you are so ugly and fat to crush ten elephants, I will still love you as always. But the problem is that Qi Yin doesn't like monsters. He likes mortals like him, females of the same sex. It is best to be beautiful, gentle, and know how to weave and cook. Qi Yin struggled for a while, but couldn't tell any lies, and finally said frustratedly: "No..."
Lan Xian'er snorted and said, "I knew it."
"But it's the same as I don't like men," Qi Yin said embarrassedly, "I can be friends with monsters and brothers with men, but I won't like them and marry them."
Lan Xian'er tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, stood on tiptoe, and patted his head, "Senior Brother Yun Yin, you are a good person. When I asked people this before, they all said that even if I eat Anyone who doesn't spit out a bone is willing to be with me."
Qi Yin was stunned by her shot, Lan Xian'er took a few steps back and stood under the sky with her hands behind her back, something changed silently, and the girl's shallow smile seemed to brighten a little under the sun.
Lan Xian'er tilted her head and smiled: "Thank you for helping me find Lilac Ring, it is very important to me."
"You don't need to thank me, it's your job." Qi Yin said shyly.
"Brother Yunzhi gave it to me. I like it. Who would have thought that it would be lost yesterday, and I'm so anxious." Lan Xian'er tugged her hair and smiled at him, "Fortunately, you found it for me."
Qi Yin's mind didn't turn around and was stunned in place.
Brother Yunzhi sent it? … What's the meaning
"Look, Brother Yunzhi has come to pick me up and down the mountain." Lan Xian'er put up a pergola and looked into the distance.
As soon as the words fell, a cold sword light arrived in an instant, Yun Zhi sat cross-legged on the sword and touched Lan Xian'er's head with a smile. Lan Xian'er put the sword on the side, put the back basket on her lap, and waved at Qi Yin, "Senior Brother Yun Yin, let's go first! Thank you for liking me, but I don't like Hei Zai. "
Qi Yin's mind was blank, and stayed in place.
The two disappeared in a swish and disappeared at the end of the mountain road. Qi Yin was stunned. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to Wutang Town that evening. He saw Feng Xian leaning against his old boss's arms, and something in his heart shattered silently and little by little. He slumped his shoulders, lowered his head, kicked stones all the way and walked all the way, his head was stuffed, he didn't know where he was going, like a lost stray dog.
What, it turned out to be playing with him. This girl is really bad, is it interesting to play him like this? Or do you think he's disgraced and looks more playful than others? But you can't blame others, after all, he bumped into it himself, and they didn't let him pick up lilac rings, and they didn't let him like her.
When I reached the end of the road and looked up, I realized that I had walked all the way blindly and walked back to the tiled house. Fu Lan sat under the wide eaves of the water weaving bamboo baskets, the sun shone on his fair side face, and the outlines were all soft and shrouded in the hazy light. The black cat basked in the sun with its soft belly spread out at his feet, and its eyes narrowed.
Qi Yin dejectedly took a tumbler and sat beside Fu Lan. There was a bitterness in his nose, and Qi Yin lowered his head. He remembered the first time he cooked vegetables at the Yao family. At the age of twelve, he was not much taller than the stove, and the spoon was as long as his arm. After finally frying a plate of dishes and carefully holding it on the table, my aunt squeezed the chopsticks and put a piece of meat in her mouth, chewed it twice and spat it out, saying: "Prodigal shit, what is this fried, do you want to poison me? ?"
He wanted to say that he tried his best, but he accidentally burned his hand when he turned the pot, causing a few big blisters, but it hurt. But he didn't say anything. He lowered his head with his hands behind his back, and rubbed his toes on the ground without saying a word. Forget it, he said to himself, it doesn't matter.
He also said to himself now, forget it, it doesn't matter.
Nobody likes it, it doesn't matter.
Turning his head to look at Fu Lan, this guy was wholeheartedly weaving a basket, and a small bamboo basket gradually took shape in his hand. Qi Yin lowered his head and asked, "Dude, can you still weave baskets?"
Fu Lan nodded, "Afu taught me."
Qi Yin was silent for a while, then asked, "Dude, do you like my mother very much?"
"Well," Fu Lan said, "I like it very much."
Qi Yin opened her mouth and wanted to ask Fu Lan if she knew why his mother wanted to leave. Looking sideways, the quiet man lowered his head to weave a basket, and the bamboo strips were entwined between his pale fingers. There was no joy or anger on his face, his eyes were light and calm, so pure, like a vast expanse of smoke.
Qi Yin grabbed the grass stalk and asked, "Brother Dude, did my mother provoke any enemies when she lived with you? Or did that demon have any relatives to seek revenge?"
Fu Lan shook her head in confusion.
The black cat yawned and said, "After Zhang Luohuai's death, Wujiang was very peaceful, why did you suddenly ask such a question?"
"It's nothing, just ask." Qi Yin suddenly didn't want to ask anything, he patted Fu Lan's shoulder and said, "Brother, if you can't marry a daughter-in-law, why don't we just work together. No one likes the two brothers, and it's good to be a bachelor, so people don't have to marry a daughter-in-law."
Fu Lan was stunned and nodded vigorously, "Okay."
