Lights on the other side

Li Ruoci woke up in the meditation hall, the sky was bright outside.He got up and looked at a few dishes of light side dishes on the table, then found a pair of chopsticks and took a few bites.

The taste is just right, just like the light taste of this spring.

He was sitting at the table, and suddenly saw a hiding figure outside the door.

Li Ruoci continued to look out, the man obviously didn't intend to show up, and he thought that no one would notice her.

She hid first behind a tree, then under the steps, and finally behind a door.

Seeing this, Li Ruoci was a little amused.

The man poked his head out from behind the door, and immediately met a pair of clear and smiling eyes, and she quickly shrank back.

"What? Do you learn to be shy when you grow up?"

The man was silent.

"If that's the case, then I'll pretend I didn't find you, and you are behind the door at will."

Li Ruoci picked up the chopsticks again, and began to pick and choose among the dishes as if no one else was there.

"Brother Lin..."

After all, the person behind the door couldn't hold back and moved out.Li Ruoci called her name: "Sha Bai."

The person in front of her has obviously grown into a little girl, wearing a short white dress, her hair is tied behind her head with a headband, and a small flower is pinned on it.

Li Ruoci noticed that her hands were wrapped in bandages, and said, "Are you injured?"

"Hmm... I touched my hand while practicing the knife."

Li Ruoci heard this and said, "Let me see."

Sha Bai walked in hesitantly and held out his hand.

The injury was not very serious, it should be that the palm of the hand was cut.Li Ruoci raised his head with a smile and said, "Why don't you dare come to see me?"

Sha Bai hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, it was Brother Pei Shi who refused to let you come. He said he was afraid that others would know you were here."

Li Ruoci didn't say a word for a while, and finally, he smiled lightly and motioned for Sha Bai to sit down on the mat.

Sha Bai crossed his legs, put his hands on his feet, and said, "Brother Lin, where have you been?"

Li Ruoci thought that Sha Bai probably didn't know what he did in the past and who he was.Perhaps in her eyes, she is just Lin Ruoyan from Lizhou.

He said, "I went elsewhere."

"Did Brother Lin think of me in those days? I've been thinking about Brother Lin all the time."

"Yes, but did Xiao Shabai practice hard in the Wuxi Heaven?"

Sha Bai was a little complacent, and said: "Yes, of course I have. Recently, I went on a few missions near Yinzhou. Although I was accompanied by senior brother Lanshan the first few times, but next time I will be on my own."

Li Ruoci poured her a cup of tea from the table next to her.Sha Bai didn't feel much about the slightly bitter almond tea, she drank half a cup as soon as she raised her head, and then began to talk about her experience of several missions.

"That weasel has become a spirit, turned into a scholar who is going to marry a young lady, he thought we didn't know, kept pretending, and came out with everything, it was fun."

"There is a strange thing happening in a nearby town. It is said that there is a broken house that has not been lived in for a long time. Every night, there are voices coming out, and there are strange figures. We are afraid that there are some ghosts and ghosts, so we brave the cold wind and wait in the middle of the night. There, it turned out to be just a few thieves who stole and went there to share the spoils."

Sha Bai talked one by one, and it was almost noon.She looked outside and got up from the mat.

Li Ruoci asked: "Are you leaving?"

"Yes."

Sabai sighed.

"Don't tell Brother Pei Shi that I've been here."

After she finished speaking, she leaped lightly onto the wall and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Li Ruoci returned to the meditation hall, and began to drink tea silently by himself. The tea was a bit cold. He didn't know if he was affected by his mood, and the bitter taste of almonds became stronger.

Pei Shi didn't want others to see him.

He can understand.But only to the point of understanding.

Going to pour tea again, Li Ruoci found that the teapot was empty.

Just as he got up to pour water, a bony hand stretched out from behind, covered his hand, and held the pot handle again.

That hand was placed on the white porcelain pot, also like cold porcelain.

"I'll go."

"Ah."

Li Ruoci withdrew his hand, Pei Shi took the teapot, and made another pot from outside.He put the teapot on the table, turned to Li Ruoci, and said, "Let me see your injury."

The wound Xie Yun left on his abdomen that day hadn't healed yet, so it was time to change the gauze today.

But, it's broad daylight.

Thinking of this, Li Ruoci refused: "No."

Pei Shi frowned and said, "Then what should I do if I get infected?"

He stretched out his hand to pull Li Ruoci, but Li Ruoci stepped back and fell down on the bed.Pulled to the wound, Li Ruoci bit her lip without making a sound.

Seeing this, Pei Shi hurriedly stopped, sat sideways beside Li Ruoci, and wrapped his arms around his waist.

"Does it hurt?"

"It's okay."

Li Ruoci breathed a sigh of relief and untied his belt.He removed the gauze layer by layer, and the last few layers were covered with blood. It seemed that the wound was oozing blood again.

Pei Shi found a new gauze to help him put on. In order to prevent him from moving around, he kept his hands on his waist.

Pei Shi just came back from the outside, his hands were a little cold, touching his skin made people tremble slightly.

After changing the gauze, Li Ruoci relaxed.

Caught off guard, Pei Shi suddenly kissed him, and kissed the corner of his eyes.

"Are you unhappy? Why?"

Li Ruoci avoided the question and asked, "Pei Shi, can I leave?"

Pei Shi was silent for a while, and said, "Leave, that's fine."

Li Ruoci closed his eyes.

He knew that some things could not be done intentionally, so Pei Shi made a choice, and the choice was the most sensible.

"Let's leave together."

Li Ruoci was a little surprised, but when he looked up, he saw Pei Shi looking at him, his eyes reflecting the blue sky outside.

"Where do you want to go? I want to go to a small town in the south. When I heard you tell me where you used to live, I wanted to go and see it. We will go to Xiuyuan Town in winter, and we can bring Shabai. I remember you promised Now, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, anyway, you have to agree now."

"The restless day?"

"Danggui is here. He is actually much more reliable than me. He is cautious and considers the overall situation. How can I say that it is more suitable for him to be the head of the sect than me? As for me, I just want to be a person who has nothing to do. It's better to be around." Pei Shi wrote lightly.

Li Ruoci looked at him deeply, as if wanting to make sure of something, and asked, "You don't regret it?"

"How can you regret it? It's not an exaggeration to say that being with you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Pei Shi put his head close to Li Ruoci's neck, pressed it there, and said, "Don't regret it, it's a decision, it's a lifetime thing."

"I do not regret."

In this way, a few days later, Li Ruoci and Pei Shi came to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.After 20 years, it was not easy for Li Ruoci to find this place.

He grew up in this town until he was about eight years old, and lived an inhuman life. Li Chengqi made him a person, and Pei Shi made him a real living person.So far, coming back is no longer self-exposing the wound, but just a way of remembering.

The river is staggered, and there are boats of all sizes in it.People on the shore sell water chestnuts, lotus pods, and all kinds of fish and shrimp.

Li Ruoci and Pei Shi wandered around the town during the day, and found an inn at night to rest for the time being.

Even though he was injured, Li Ruoci still took a shower. When he put on his robe and turned to walk out of the screen, he saw Pei Shi sitting lazily on his bed, combing his half-dry hair.

"Pei Shi, come to me? Is there something wrong?" Li Ruoci finally fastened his belt.

"Have."

"what's up?"

Pei Shi smiled ambiguously and said, "Spend a good night with you."

Seeing him being so straightforward, Li Ruoci coughed.

Later, he said: "That's exactly what I mean."

It was past midnight, Li Ruoci was lying on the bed, and Pei Shi, who was behind him, put his arms around his shoulders and fell into a deep sleep.He opened his eyes and looked, the windows were still open, and the lights of Qianjia on the opposite river bank were still on, and the orange flames were dotted.For these, Li Ruoci has always been watching, longing for, but not getting.

But now, he can finally be in the lights on the other side.And with this fire, he was able to spend the dark night of his life.
