Lights on the other side

After the dust settled, they returned to Wuxitian, and Li Ruoci threw Pei Shi back into the room.Xie Yun immediately ran over: "A Yan Ah Yan, are you okay?"

"Do you know? I heard that you have encountered a major event, but you are worried. You don't think about food or tea..."

"Look at me, I've lost a lot of weight, but don't feel guilty, how do you say a poem? The belt gets wider and you don't regret it..."

Li Ruoci saw that Xie Yun was developing in an indescribable direction, and quickly stopped him: "Stop it, don't talk, I'm fine, you can eat two more bowls of rice at noon."

Looking at Xie Yun who kept talking non-stop, he suddenly envied Pei Shi for having such a taciturn companion like Xue Danggui.

Xie Yun talked about what happened without interest in the past few days.However, Li Ruoci wanted to understand the impact of Qu Xuese's appearance.

"Hey, how about the closure of the city?"

Xie Yun thought for a while and said, "What else can I do?"

"how?"

"You also know that in our current situation, if the sect master can't retreat, basically everything is beyond our control. Master Luo said that if we continue to maintain the status quo, we will maintain the status quo. It seems that we don't intend to continue to delve into Lian Yetian."

"It's all in this field..."

"Hmm... Sect Leader Jiang advocates uniting with other sects to encircle and suppress Yetian, but Sect Leader Luo disagrees with his life and death, Wuxitian Buluotian doesn't plan to respond, and Sanxuntian is not easy to organize."

To be honest, Li Ruoci couldn't think of the reason why Luo Lianzhao continued to advocate peace. After all, Qu Xuese's incident was really big, and he could imagine how righteously indignant the world should be with his toes. This kind of anger is not It can be calmed down by saying that it can be calmed down.

He continued, "What's the reason?"

Xie Yun said: "Master Luo said that next year will be a year of catastrophe. If we fight at this time, I am afraid that we will exhaust our energy and be unable to cope with the disaster that will come next year."

"The year of great misfortune?"

Xie Yun nodded: "You just came here, so you may not know that there is a divination master beside Sect Master Luo, Jiang Kujiu Mr. Jiang, he is basically the kind of person who can see half of the secrets from this vast world. He I tested it a few days ago and found eight characters."

"What word?"

Xie Yun pretended to be inscrutable and said: "The destiny is coming, and it will make ghosts cry."

Li Ruoci cooperated with him and said, "It sounds very extraordinary."

"Yes, those elders were quite frightened."

After a while, Xie Yun asked again: "Do you want them to fight?"

"Ok?"

Xie Yun looked at Li Ruoci fixedly, Li Ruoci could only say: "It doesn't matter."

Xie Yun sighed, "You have such a big heart."

This is the truth. For Li Ruoci, he doesn't care about the so-called prosperous and troubled times, as long as he lives, he will be fine.

Xie Yun took the teacup and teapot from the house, and drank by himself under the tree.

When Tang Yuanchu heard that Pei Shi was back, he hurried over with a lot of things.

"It's great that someone cares." Xie Yun turned his head and took a sip of tea.

Li Ruoci remained silent, looking thoughtfully at Tang Yuanchu's light-colored figure.

After a while, Pei Shi came out of the room with an unfriendly expression, his hair was messed up by him.

"Lin Ruoyan, is it you..."

Li Ruoci said innocently: "What? Isn't it good-looking?"

Pei Shi's face was gloomy: "What do you think?"

"If you want me to say... there are probably two flowers left."

Tang Yuanchu let out a "puchi" laugh: "Okay, I finally came back, so please stop arguing, I made some sweet-scented osmanthus cake, do you want to try it?"

"Okay, okay."

Xie Yun showed joy.

"I hope you are so good at the beginning."

Tang Yuanchu put the food box on the table in the courtyard, Pei Shi walked over and said, "Where's Angelica?"

Xie Yun said: "He is going to take care of the follow-up matters after the closure of the city."

Tang Yuanchu said: "I heard that this time is extremely dangerous, Ah Shi was also injured."

Pei Shi pursed his lips and said, "I'm fine, it's just that Sheng Wuxia... Head Sect Luo is so indulgent to Lian Yetian, I don't know what he's thinking?"

Xie Yun swallowed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said, "Who knows? There must be some special interests in it."

Pei Shi continued to ask: "The purpose of Lian Yetian's destruction of the city is not quite clear yet, did Danggui say anything?"

Xie Yun said: "It's nothing, it seems that there is no abnormality in closing the city before that, and I can't think of any benefits of destroying it. Oh, what purpose can Lian Yetian and the group of people have? Maybe it is to kill for pleasure?"

Tang Yuanchu hugged his arms and said, "It's scary."

Xie Yun comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Tang Yuanchu glanced at him and said, "Ah, is that right? Ah Yun will run away by himself, right?"

Xie Yun said awkwardly: "How could it be?"

"When you met the neighbor's Yuanbao when you were young, you obviously did this. In the end, you had to rely on Enchu. I still remember the pitiful look of you hiding behind Enchu."

Seeing that Pei Shi and Li Ruoci's eyes fell on him, Xie Yun quickly waved his hands and said, "Maybe I must have made a mistake at the beginning, I must have made a mistake, haha."

Li Ruoci didn't continue to get involved, and it seemed that Qu Xuese hadn't figured out the purpose of Qu Xuese's action for three days. However, Luo Lianzhao had determined that next year would be a very ominous year... Ominous?Is there any connection between this?

A month later, Xue Danggui came back after dealing with everything.

After several months of calm, they waited for the first fine snow.

Li Ruoci was going to clear the snow off the stone table, but he saw Pei Shi lying on the window, not knowing what he was thinking, the emotion in his eyes was like the snow outside the window.

Xue Danggui came out from the door on one side.

Pei Shi moved, propped his chin with his hand and said, "Danggui is leaving now."

"Ah."

Pei Shi got up and patted Xue Danggui on the shoulder with a smile, saying, "Remember to miss me."

Xue Danggui said: "It's only five days, do you want me to bring something?"

"Ah... Let me think about it... Your mother's pastry is very delicious, I still remember it."

Xue Danggui smiled and said, "You really want nothing but food."

Pei Shi spread his hands: "Is there any way? People depend on food."

Li Ruoci brushed the snow off the table, Xue Danggui had already left, and Pei Shi returned to his previous expression, staring at the snow without speaking.

Back at the house, Xie Yun was also packing up his clothes.

Li Ruoci said: "You want to go too?"

"Well, yes, it's been almost a year since I left home, so I have to go back and have a look."

"Do you want to go back?"

"Uh... If there are people at home, they will go back."

Li Ruoci thought: Then he doesn't need to go back, he is the only one left in this yard for a few days, he can also be clean for a while.

"Safe journey."

"I will, I will."

Seeing Xie Yun tidy up in a hurry, Li Ruoci sighed, folded the clothes and handed them over.

"I will send you blessings from thousands of miles away on the Yan Festival." Xie Yun yelled at him before leaving, and then embarked on the journey with the Tang family sisters without looking back.

Li Ruoci shook his head, lit the oil lamp in the room, and took out a book of Yu Bai Biography from the bookshelf. Xie Yun seemed to like these legendary novels very much, so he collected a lot of them.

Xie Yun once said: "The world there is always what you want, but when we return to reality, what do we count in the vast world?"

"However, there will always be someone who calms everything down and takes on everything. Lin Ruoyan, do you want to be that kind of person?"

Li Ruoci refused without thinking, "I don't want to."

"Hey?"

"Just live my life like this. I don't have much expectation."

"That's boring."

Li Ruoci smiled: "Yeah, it's really boring."

After reading half of the book, it was already late at night. He made the bed, turned off the lights, and fell asleep. In his dream, it seemed to be that little boy again, standing on the side of the street, watching people come and go, and someone was riding a tall horse. , someone used a broken plank to pull his long-dead father, there were beauties seeing off guests, and shrews scolding the street, the wonton peddler opened the pot, and the rising white mist curled up, arresting the heinous criminals, stirring up a line of dust on the street , He is like a frog sitting in a well watching the sky, secretly peeping into this small world, how everyone lives, and how the world tolerates such a life.

After an unknown amount of time, a man came to him, bent down and said to him, "Will you go back with me?"

The little boy looked up and saw the pair of hands stretched out to him.

The next day, Li Ruoci got up a little late, and it was already bright outside.He put on his clothes, tied his hair, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, and then walked out.

There was a rustling sound from the corner beside him, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

"You're here too, Lin Ruoyan."

"Pei... Pei Shi?"

Pei Shi stood in the corner, holding a wooden branch in one hand, and a thing with a sharp mouth and small ears in the other.

"Hedgehog...is this a hedgehog?"

"Well, yes, do you want to touch it?"

"No, you can play by yourself."

The hedgehog was arching in Pei Shi's hand, with a small nose and small eyes, and a little listless.Li Ruoci only looked at him for a moment, then walked out.

"Hey, go find a place to sleep by yourself." Pei Shi immediately put down the hedgehog carefully and followed.

The river is not yet frozen, but the sound of flowing is much quieter. There is no one around. The pavilions and pavilions stand quietly in place. There is a thin layer of snow on the ground. Walking up, leaving a mark along the way.

Li Ruoci turned sideways and asked, "Why are you here and not going back?"

The people around him didn't make a sound.

After a while, I heard Pei Shi say, "Uh... my parents are gone, and I have no place to go, so I just happen to be here with you as a companion."

"Feel sorry."

"It's nothing, it's none of your business, besides, I'm living a good life now. When I was 11 years old, my parents were killed by people from the Demon Realm. The monk who came to the town to deal with this matter took me to the Wuxi Heaven. It’s been 13 years now, and I don’t feel anything anymore.”

Pei Shi finished speaking and smiled.

That day, in order to catch a bigger fish, he walked along the river to the neighboring town, and returned later.

He remembered clearly that it was dusk, and blood flowed all over the place.A total of twelve people, including neighbors, died in Huangquan because of a knife that people from the devil world wanted to practice.

However, these are all in the past.

"Yes." Li Ruoci nodded.

Time will always heal the wound slowly and heal the past. I really don't know whether this is too gentle or too ruthless in the world.

When the wind picked up, some fine snow fell on the treetops, Pei Shi hurried to the side.

However, he never went back to that town.
