Lights on the other side

Li Ruoci casually pulled up a rattan chair and sat down. In front of him were Sha Bai and Pei Shi.

He still has a book in his hand.

Nothing was written on it, but he just read it in vernacular fluently.

"Once upon a time there was a scholar in a small town. One day he learned that his uncle far away was ill, so he was ordered by his mother to visit him. Unexpectedly, he encountered heavy rain on the way, and he was left in a deserted temple. In the middle of the night At about the same time, he vaguely heard a woman's voice..."

Sha Bai listened intently, but Pei Shi yawned at this moment and said, "Hey, it's so boring. It's another story about a scholar meeting a female ghost fox fairy."

"Pei Shi, you don't have to listen if you don't want to."

Pei Shi closed his mouth wisely.

Li Ruoci wanted to continue talking, but saw Tang Yuanchu come out of the kitchen, holding a white porcelain plate in his hand.

"Who wants to eat dumplings?"

The sound is sweet and crisp, like an apple freshly picked from a tree.

After hearing this, Li Ruoci put down the book and walked over. Just as he was about to reach out, he heard a loud shout from behind: "Lin Ruoyan, get out of the way, I'll come first!"

Before he could react, he saw a figure rushing towards him, and then his waist hurt.

The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his mind was filled with: You idiot Xie Yun, how dare you kick me!

He felt movement beside him, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw Pei Shizhi standing up and looking at him with a complicated expression.

"I had a dream……"

"In my dream, Xie Yun's name was being called."

Li Ruoci was a little speechless, and said: "... isn't there the word "stupid" in front of it?"

Pei Shi still wanted to say something more, but Li Ruoci quickly reached out and pressed him down: "Okay, sleep."

The room was pitch black, he closed his eyes, and was in a daze, as if someone had interlocked his fingers. He thought it was another dream, and he didn't pay much attention to it, so he fell asleep drowsily and slept until dawn.

When he woke up, his surroundings were empty, and the temperature had dropped. It seemed that Pei Shi had already woken up.

Xue Danggui was cooking lotus flower soup in the kitchen. He pulled up a small stool, sat in front of the stove, and fanned it once and for all.

"Danggui, you got up very early." Li Ruoci greeted him at the window.

Hearing the sound, Xue Danggui looked at it indifferently, and then called Li Ruoci over, saying, "Come and try."

Li Ruoci didn't shirk, just took a bowl at random, filled a small spoonful from it, and it was fragrant.

"Danggui, you didn't come here to make a bowl of soup this time, did you?" He tried to test with a joking tone.

"No."

"..."

"Did you know that there might be a black dragon lurking beneath the calm lake water?" After a moment of silence, Xue Danggui said to him without beginning or end.

The spoon in Li Ruoci's hand slipped and hit the edge of the bowl immediately.

"what happened?"

"It's hot."

"Then you have to be careful."

Li Ruoci looked up at Xue Danggui, met those dark eyes, and realized what the real Gujing Wubo was.

"Danggui, you really... care about people." With a calm face, he took the white handkerchief Xue Danggui handed over and wiped his mouth.

"Is it alright?"

"Ok?"

"Lotus soup." Xue Danggui reminded him.

"The taste is just right."

The conversation between the two returned to the things in the bowl, and Li Ruoci was also a little helpless.

After Pei Shi squeezed with him that night, someone cleaned up another room for him the next day.

"They're hardworking."

Pei Shi was slightly displeased.

"Lin Ruoyan, courtesy is reciprocal, do you want to stay with me for one night?"

"No need, I'm too tired." Li Ruoci naturally refused.

"Okay, okay." Pei Shi didn't linger any longer, and left with his pillow in his arms.

Li Ruoci breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and returned to the house, and pushed the window open.

Cen Jiu was very obedient, and there was no movement these days, leaving him a lot of time.Since Little Qingzhou, things happened one after another, and he hasn't rested for a long time.These days he took care of the fire, made tea with warm water, and the sky in the afternoon was still full of warm sunset glow. The only thing he thought about was what was going on in Chengzhou, but Li Ruoci already had a faint uneasiness in his heart.

Xu Wan was on the side of King Duan's army to help seize Chengzhou, which he knew a few days ago.But it seems that because of his personality, although Xu Wan looks very gentle on the outside and has a low eyebrow in front of people, he prefers to kill people behind his back.The method of killing was extremely cruel, and there were not many complete corpses left by his men.

He used to follow Yun Liujin, but after a few months, Yun Liujin couldn't stand it anymore.

"I am very optimistic about his ability, thinking that I can relax a little bit. Who knows that he can cause trouble so much. It was a trivial matter, which caused him to bleed like a river. Now, those monks are chasing after me all day long. It's annoying to death. gone."

At that time, Li Ruoci was still in the night sky, they were sitting by the river passing through the underground palace, the river flowed by, and the corners of their clothes were wet.

Li Ruoci asked: "What do you want to do?"

"Let him go to Qu Xuese's, I think they are a good match."

"No, his personality is too extreme, and nothing may happen when two people are together."

"Then... just let him go downstairs and temper his temper?"

Li Ruoci nodded, feeling good.Yun Liujin sent Xu Wan to another place.

Afterwards, Xu Wan climbed up from below step by step and became Yunlu's sidekick.

I don't know if Xu Wan is still the same after so many years, if he still has such an extreme character, I'm afraid it will not be too easy in Weizhou.After the city is broken, maybe he will massacre the city.

Thinking of this, Li Ruoci became inexplicably irritable.Judging by Pei Shi's appearance, he wanted to keep Chengzhou no matter what.

Li Ruoci didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but because he didn't sleep very comfortably last night and had an extremely weird dream, he felt a little sleepy now.Thinking of Xie Yun's face, he still has the urge to step on it.

I hope that there will be no such strange dreams in the future. He closed his eyes gently, without even covering him with the quilt, and just fell asleep like this.

Later, he woke up from the cold, the windows were not closed, and the air was a bit chilly. He opened his eyes wearily, only to find that Pei Shi was sitting by the bed, watching him.

He had never seen the expression on Pei Shi's face before. There was an infinite coldness in his thoughtfulness, like a thousand catties of frost and snow, falling straight into his heart.

Li Ruoci became sober all at once, and opened his mouth, because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was alienated, it didn't sound like his own anymore.

"You...why...cough cough..."

Pei Shi withdrew his gaze, his emotions were contained in an instant, and he said lightly, "I was thinking, when did we first meet?"
