Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

There is silence in the deep palace, there are no lights around, and the night is as thick as the ink on the tip of a pen, dripping on the old paper, seeping into the mottled lines, and never melting again.

There are tens of thousands of mansions in the night, stretching endlessly, weaving a vast and noisy world.The world is vast, and there is a long story under every roof.

Di Dongqing was lying sideways on the bed, propped up on one elbow.

His head was tilted, and a pair of bright eyes lingered on the body of the person next to him, like the burning flames on the two green lamps.

His ponytail was almost undone in the back, hanging loosely at the back of his head, making him look more relaxed than usual.However, the rope of the bundle of hair came from the gift of the person next to the pillow. Perhaps because of this, it was always reluctant to fall off from the black hair, even after going through a lot of clouds and rain just now, it still stubbornly stayed on the top of the owner's head.

Di Dongqing's body was already very tired, but there was no sleepiness in his eyes.

The curtain beside the bed was blown up and down by the breeze, everyone next to the pillow finally asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"

Di Dongqing couldn't help being startled, raised her eyebrows and said, "How does Master know that I'm not asleep?"

Lu Zhengqiu laughed lightly, and said: "How could I not know that when you are asleep, your breathing rate is different from when you are awake, and your voice is also deeper."

They are so familiar with each other, even though their eyes are dark and nameless, their ears are still faithfully capturing each other's signals.

Di Dongqing blinked and said, "I'm not sleepy for now."

An imperceptible warmth floated on Lu Zhengqiu's cheeks: "Nonsense, you must be tired from the activities just now, and you have to march tomorrow, go to bed early."

"It's okay, I can take it."

While prevaricating, the young man adjusted his posture so that his elbows were closer to the opponent.

Instead of sleeping obediently, he picked up Lu Zhengqiu's broken hair scattered on the pillow to his hand, and slowly curled it around his fingers to play with.

"Holly, be obedient." Lu Zhengqiu said patiently.

This almost pleading attitude was more effective than a serious reprimand. Di Dongqing was silent for a while, and finally replied: "...I can't bear to sleep."

Lu Zhengqiu's heart sank.Before he could speak, he heard the person beside him add: "Master, you haven't slept yet."

He was speechless, his heart seemed to be dripped solidly by the wax oil of the green lamp, and a red scar was burned, which was hot and painful.

The reason for the two people not falling asleep is the same, and he knows it well.The time in front of us is too short, and the future is too long. It is a luxury to be able to wake up for a moment, even if it is only a moment like a fleeting moment.

He chuckled lightly and said: "It's okay, we are so close, I will go to your dream to find you later."

"Really?"

"real."

Dongqing was silent for a while, then bent down suddenly, moved to his pillow, opened her arms around his side, and hugged him in her arms.

There was a rustling sound from the quilt under him, which covered up the rest of the subtle sounds. After a while, Lu Zhengqiu heard the suppressed sigh of the young man.

In such a voice, his heart almost melted, and even the scar was soft.

He also turned sideways, stretched out his arms carefully, and put them around the shoulders of the people around him.

Holly got his consent, her arms tightened behind his back, her head buried in his chest.

After a long while, he heard a voice coming from his chest: "I'm really too stupid to let Master suffer so much for nothing. If only I had noticed your difficulties earlier, told you my heart earlier, and cherished being together earlier. What a wonderful time it should be."

He put his finger into the young man's hair and combed it slowly: "Holly, master will tell you a story."

Dongqing raised her head slightly, with a confused look in her eyes: "Huh?"

"I know you are no longer a child, but you won't get tired of listening to Master's stories."

"How could it be?" Dongqing immediately urged, "Master, tell me quickly."

"Have you heard of the ancient Juao?"

"Of course I have."

"It is one of the nine sons of the dragon. Its body is as vast as the sky and the earth. It used to sneak in the deep sea. Later, as the stars moved, the sea turned into mulberry fields, but the giant ao disappeared. People can't help but wonder where the giant ao is hiding. Even young people who are overwhelmed want to see the appearance of the giant turtle with their own eyes, so they embarked on the road to find it."

Holly blinked: "Then he found it?"

Lu Zhengqiu said slowly: "He has gone through mountains and ridges, gone through hardships, and traveled to every corner of Kyushu, but he has never been able to find Ju Ao. When others saw him, they advised him not to be stupid again, but he never gave up. Still walking and walking, the shoulders became more and more burdened, and the steps became slower and slower, from Qingsi to Baitou, finally, before he was about to close his eyes, he saw the tail of the giant turtle."

"Tail?"

"Well, standing on the top of the mountain, he saw a stretch of mountains stretching across the valley, covered by luxuriant pines. Only by looking carefully can he see the shape of the tail."

Dongqing said: "He stood on a high place, but what he saw was the tail of the giant turtle, so the path he walked, isn't it..."

"As you guessed it, he turned his head, looked at the way he came, and finally recognized the outline of the giant ao. The back is the pattern of the mountains, and the four feet are the cliffs by the sea. Camel on his own back."

"So... this person has been walking on the back of Ju'ao?"

"Yeah, at that time he was too old to walk, but he was very satisfied. Although he only saw Juao's tail before he died, he didn't waste time. He spent his whole life in Juao Walking on his back, the magnificent rivers and mountains and the magnificent rivers he can see are all part of Juao. The truth he is looking for has long been found in the journey."

The eloquent narration fell into her ears, and Dongqing couldn't help opening her eyes wide.

"Master, I..."

"You are the same as him. You didn't waste a moment. It's enough to go through this journey with you in your life."

Holly couldn't speak for a long time, the words seemed ashamed of his paleness and dullness, and escaped from his mouth, all he could do was tighten his arms firmly.

His cheeks were hot, his eye sockets were hot, and even the ends of his hair were hot.

Lu Zhengqiu brushed his still black and young hair, lowered his head and whispered: "Go to sleep."

The exhausted young man finally fell into a deep sleep, his wrenched heart was soothed by the words just now, and his hands were still hugging the person next to the pillow in his dream, reluctant to let go.

How could Lu Zhengqiu be willing to push this person away.

In the hazy darkness, he seemed to hear Dongqing's dreaming voice, the vague murmur was full of satisfaction, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

That voice was like a blade, engraved on Lu Zhengqiu's heart one by one.

It is difficult for a healer to heal himself, and he is not exempt.He could comfort Holly's pain, but he couldn't calm the tide of mud in his chest.

After all, he missed the appointment and failed to sneak into Holly's dream.He opened a pair of blind eyes in the dark, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

Although his eyes are blind, there is still a sporadic light in his heart, which is seen side by side with Dongqing in the steaming water vapor of Yunmengze, beside the silver hanging waterfall of Yushan Mountain, and beside the simple firewood courtyard in Sanping Village Xinghui.

The moon is temporarily dark, and the stars are always bright.

Even if it is a life born in the mud, since it came to this world, it must be seen.

He lay alone in his last comfortable bed, waking up all night before being completely swallowed up by the mire.
