A thin sheet of paper bears lotus shadow

Chapter 21 Knowing and Not Knowing

Two days later, an autumn rain suddenly passed through, and the Danfeng courtyard was covered with yellow leaves overnight, and the leaves made a crisp sound when stepped on.Affected by the brief autumn rain, the Lantern Festival decided to postpone the opening ceremony to the evening.

Qin Jianxian woke up from the cold because of kicking the quilt, so he rarely got up early and sneaked into the kitchen to look for food. When passing by the yard, he heard the sound of people sweeping fallen leaves. Slowly and regularly, people had the illusion of listening to light music.Due to the influence of the seasons, the sun was later than before. Qin Jianxian rubbed his eyes. In the dark environment, he couldn't see who the other party was. He could only feel the calmness and peace emanating from that person.The sound of sweeping the fallen leaves was like a hypnotic sound. Qin Jixian opened his mouth and yawned a huge yawn. Driven by curiosity, he patted his face and decided to go over to find out.

"Yeah, Xingshatan, it's you." Taking a closer look, it turned out that it was the old man who stayed in Danfengyuan on the pretext of treating his eye disease. Nose, walked in front of him and looked down at the pile of fallen leaves and said, "Of course someone will sweep these leaves, so you don't need to sweep them."

Xingshatan remained silent, still sweeping the fallen leaves slowly.There are shallow water marks on the white bandage, it is unknown whether it is dew or rain dripping from the treetops, which outlines his eyes.Qin Jiaxian endured his drowsiness and continued to talk to him for a while.

"How long have you been scanning?"

silence.

"Why sweep?"

silence.

"Your sleeves are wet."

silence.

"I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat, how about you?"

silence.

"Are you hungry?"

silence.

"Are you dumb?"

silence.

"Are you deaf?"

Xingsha sighed as if he treated Qin Jiaxian as air, and ignored him from the beginning to the end.The fallen leaves on the ground gradually piled up in one corner, forming a small mound.

An unknown fire gradually arose in Qin Jixian's heart, and his drowsiness dissipated a lot as a result.It was a little brighter, but it started to fog up.

"Hey, old man, I'm talking to you." Qin Jiaxian raised his voice and said unhappy.Having encountered such a terrible thing early in the morning, it seems that the whole day's luck will be bad. "I kindly told you not to sweep the leaves, but you still put on airs."

Xingshatan still ignored him, immersed in his own world, determined to sweep away all the fallen leaves.

"Hey, old man!" Qin Jiaxian was sullen. Is this old man possessed by a ghost? Otherwise, who would start sweeping the floor before dawn, and sweep so engrossed, as if he lost his soul.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker. Qin Jiaxian thought of the possibility of ghosts, shook his body, and took a few steps back to leave quietly.Bad situation, Xingshatan is possessed by a ghost, so leave quickly and hide in Suzhenzhen's room!

A cloudy morning wind blew by, and the coolness made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.The thickening fog reduced visibility to less than a meter.Qin Jiaxian stepped back quickly, feeling terrified in his heart.

All this is so unusual, as if someone designed everything.

"Qin Jiaxian."

Qin Jiaxian, who was retreating backwards, shivered suddenly, and secretly prayed that the fog would be as thick as possible, preferably so thick that the other party could not see him or find him.

"I want to talk to you."

It's a pity that people can't see it, but the sound can't be blocked.

Hey, fuck, Qin Jiaxian slapped his forehead, how could he forget that Xingshatan may be a matter of a page!He continued to back away, only for a while, but he still didn't see the steps.Thick fog covered all the scenery, and only he existed in this space.

Oops, not good!Qin Jianxian exclaimed, no wonder he felt weird, he never kicked the quilt, how could he be woken up by freezing because of kicking the quilt today, it seems to be a man-made trap!

Qin Jiaxian is so smart, when he heard the first cry from the other party, he had already sorted out the whole story in his heart.It's over, the fog is strangely thick, I'm afraid the other party used some method.One page of the book, one page of the book, it was agreed to meet and chat at night, how could you go back on your word and find him early, and go directly to Danfengyuan to look for him!If Su really knew they knew, how should he face them? !

"Qin Jiaxian, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

No one could be seen in the thick fog, only familiar voices pierced through the fog and fell into my ears one by one.

"Qin Jiaxian, I want you to say something nice for me in front of other people."

"This..." Qin Jiaxian knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply faced it calmly. "This busy, it's easier for you to find Gongsunyue."

"I've already asked her." The voice paused, as if hesitating. "Also, help me convince Su Zhenzhen to return to the Central Plains in the near future."

"This...a one-page book, I think Su really doesn't want to go back to the Central Plains."

"If he will not, you will forward this letter to him."

There was a slight sound of breaking through the air, and a brown envelope accurately landed in front of Qin Jiaxian's eyes. There was a faint fragrance on the envelope, which was the fragrance of lotus flowers.

"Give this letter to him, and he will return to the Central Plains immediately."

"Okay." Qin Jiaxian put away the letter, looked in the direction where the letter came from, and said puzzledly: "One page of the book, aren't you afraid that others will know that Xingshatan is you?"

"Heh." There was a chuckle, followed by the sound of sweeping the leaves, "Didn't you all know it a long time ago? What's more, I have no intention of hiding my identity at all."

Well, indeed.From the meal in Dieyuelou at the beginning to the reunion later, a single page of the book has not concealed the extraordinary tacit understanding between me and Su Huanzhen.This is also what everyone can't understand - precisely because the tacit understanding is too high, it makes people feel very weird.It is a pity that due to the interference of inherent consciousness, common phenomena cannot detect abnormalities in time.

"I no longer have the power to control this body."

"Yeah, why?" Qin Jixian was frightened by these words, and hurriedly asked, "One page of the book, you are all right?" What does it mean to have no power to control?

"It's all right. It's just a small matter. Don't forget what I asked you to do. I'll go first."

"This..." Qin Jiaxian wanted to ask something more, when suddenly there was a huge sound of sweeping leaves, and then the thick fog quickly receded, a red light appeared in the sky, and the rooster crowed three times, and the day came late carry on.He looked around the yard, not to mention people, not even a fallen leaf.If it wasn't for the leaves still falling in the courtyard, the experience just now made him think it was an overthinking dream.

"Hey, let's eat and sleep first before thinking about these troublesome things~ They are really annoying two lovers!" Qin Jianxian complained in a low voice, patted his chest, and continued to look for something to fill his stomach in the kitchen.

Xingshatan was walking alone on the street with a bag full of leaves, the bandages on his face were stained with dust.People in the world are inevitably covered in dust. The world is indifferent, the heart is cold, and the heart is covered with invisible dust.

The cock crowed one after another, and gradually someone came out of the door, carrying a hoe and preparing to work in the field.The red-gold light became wider and brighter, gradually illuminating the entire sky.Xingshatan walked slowly. Originally, it only took half a stick of incense, but he forced him to walk for a whole stick of incense. When he returned to his previous residence with the fallen leaves on his back, Su Zhenzhen had already finished his breakfast and cooked. What a little grasshopper.

"You're late." Su Zhenzhen said indifferently, seeing Xing Shatan's back arched with fallen leaves on his back, like an old man who was tortured by life.He squinted his eyes, unable to distinguish the complicated feelings in his heart.

"Su...Xiantong?" Xingsha sighed tentatively, with disbelief and excitement on his face. "Is it Su Xiantong?"

"it's me."

"This, this, this, this." Xingsha Tan returned to the look of being at a loss when he first saw him, and asked in a vain voice: "Su Xiantong, how long have you been here, old man, old man who is blind, where are you going?" I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for a long time, sorry."

Su Huanzhen has mixed feelings in his heart, he is wearing the brown bear clothes that Mo Zhaonu gave him, which is very cute at first, but because of the weather and vicissitudes on Zhenzhen's face, it looks very funny. "It's okay, Su can wait, and she's always waiting." The nonchalant tone was exactly the same as what she said back then.

——Senior, I am waiting for Wulin; for friends, I am waiting; for comrades, I am waiting; for the realization of ideals, I am waiting.Su Mou has never competed with the sky, so he always waits for the right time, place and people to be in harmony.I really don't care how many gossips and rumors there are in the world, whether it's justification or refutation, when the truth comes out and everyone is safe, everything will be worth it.Su Mou can wait, and she always waits, doesn't she?So this time, I don't want to wait, what's wrong?

Senior, what's wrong?

The reverence and humility on Xingsha's face froze for a moment, "Let Su Xiantong wait for a long time, the old man will feel a heinous crime." He put down the sack on his back, touched his eyes, and said earnestly: "If Su Xiantong is willing to let the old man make up No mistake, please invite Su Xiantong inside for a cup of tea and a few pastries made by the old man himself."

Su Zhenzhen was silent for a long time, until the red sun turned into a warm and bright sun, and the chill in the morning dissipated. "Okay. Sumou is not a stingy person."

Xingsha sighed and bared his teeth, looking very happy, he hurriedly opened the door, and only entered the room when Su Huanzhen's unique lotus fragrance passed by.

The furnishings in the house are unexpectedly simple, rather than simple, it is better to say it is empty.There was nothing but a table, a few chairs, not even a bed.

Su Zhenzhen was also very surprised, but the other party had a look of "I'm so sorry, I'm so poor that I sold my bed", so he held back all inquiries.Since you don't show off your mountains and dews, why should I tear through your disguise?It's better to get along like this.

"Ah...Here, Su Xiantong, sit down. The old man's house is a little barren, but these chairs are all antiques, left by the old man's grandfather. They sit much better than ordinary chairs."

"No need." Sitting on a chair is too inconvenient for him, he might as well fly in mid-air. "You said you wanted to invite Su to drink tea, but you only have one table and three chairs, how do you drink the tea?" Su really didn't want to worry about the chair, no matter how old this chair is, can it be as old as his Glazed Wonderland?

"This, ha, ha ha." Xingsha sighed dryly and laughed a few times, walked to a corner and rummaged for a long time, and found a teapot. The teapot was not as usual, but at the bottom, and there was a small compartment.

Su Zhenzhen silently watched his every move, seeing that he was walking around like a normal person, not like a blind man.

Xing Shatan carried the kettle to the table, found two white porcelain cups from nowhere and put them on the table; then he went outside, took the bag of fallen leaves that he had worked so hard to put on the table. "The taste of the old tea is a bit poor, I hope Su Xiantong doesn't mind."

"will not."

Xingshatan took out a handful of fallen leaves, but found a match somewhere, rubbed it to make a fire, lit the fallen leaves, and threw them into the small compartment. "I don't know how to make tea, I only know how to make tea. This is the unique way of making tea in my family, although it is very unpleasant." He said, and grabbed a lot of fallen leaves and stuffed them into the small compartment. Strangely, Not an iota of smoke leaked out, and the teapot didn't burn hot immediately.A never-before-seen method of making tea, and a different kind of teapot that has never been seen before.

"Yeah - interesting." Su Zhenzhen felt very novel, this was the first time he saw this kind of teapot.Where did you get a page?

"It's not a novelty. It was given by an old friend." Xing Shatan looked very embarrassed. After putting ten handfuls of fallen leaves, he straightened up and found another bag of tea in a corner.

Su really felt ashamed.It's not a mouse, put something in this corner, and put something in that corner.

"Poor, I was afraid that things would be stolen, so I had to separate the valuable things." Xing Shatan explained, put away the tea, went outside, and filled a bucket of well water from the deep well.

Su Zhenzhen looked around the barren house for a week, and really couldn't think of any thief who would be willing to steal things in it.

Xing Shatan poured the well water into the hot teapot, and in just a second, the water boiled.

Su Zhenzhen couldn't take his eyes off, Xing Shatan quietly raised his eyes to glance at him, the corners of his lips curled up.

Qu Shitu once said that Su Huanzhen's biggest shortcoming is that he cares too much about emotion.Lian Xin is merciful, all mistakes can be corrected.
