"Do you like raising birds?"

"Birds shouldn't be molested in cages."

"Then... buy a turtle?"

"..."

"Want to eat red bean dumplings?"

"I hate sweets!"

"Then go eat finger meat?"

"Not hungry!"

"Go to a play?"

"can't read!"

"Hey, you should be happy when you go out shopping on the street. Could you please change your face that bends upwards?"

"Axi only has this face, maybe the prince can change someone else."

Duan Qianmo stopped, and a fan whirred.

Ah Xi also stopped, took a step back, and stood one step behind him in a regular manner.

Turning around, he wanted to train someone, but he couldn't find a reason to train him. For the first time, Duan Qianmo tried his best to please someone.

That day when he drove away Sai Mo in the Moon Tower, he inadvertently caught Ah Xi's injured expression in his eyes. At that moment, he felt the same as when Caochang punched Ah Xi in the chest. There was a slight pain in his heart, unknown. He wanted to make up for the reason, although he didn't need to care about the feelings of a servant, but his actions in the past few days were completely involuntarily controlled.

"You are so good at learning Chinese, do you know the meaning of 'enough is enough'?"

Duan Qianmo looked down at Ah Xi's face, and really saw the sadness flashing in his eyes, and then became calm like water, "A Xi is just a servant, and traveling with the prince is just doing his duty, the prince doesn't need to care about a servant mood, you can choose to ignore me."

"How can I ignore you for being so big?" Duan Qianmo was really pissed off by his indifferent tone, and his voice could not help but raise his voice, "Who are you showing a zombie face to? You affect my mood just because I am disappointed." Doing the duty of a servant, no! Promise! Duty!!!”

In a fit of anger, Duan Qianmo even forgot what he called himself. Duan Qianmo found that after he finished yelling, this kid still looked dead.

Ah Xi stood quietly with her hands down, and said for a while, "Why don't I go back and find someone to accompany you, and the prince can also go to the teahouse for a meeting."

Duan Qianmo gritted her teeth and waved: "Go away!"

The two turned around without saying a word, Axi walked back in big strides, Duan Qianmo angrily shook his fan to relieve his dryness, and said in his heart as he walked: You are No.1 who can put this king indifferent , By the way, there is also your King Yuezhi, but he is arrogant and has the capital of pride. Compared with him, you, Axi, are like trumpet flowers challenging peony flowers, hum!Not for Qing, I care about you! ?I care about you! ?I don't even want to look at you...

— except to impale you with eyes!

... Hey, this king has already turned his head, how dare you not turn back? ? ?

Duan Qianmo stood in the middle of the road, looking at the boy walking straight forward with his chin raised, squinted his eyes, and decided to go back to find a teahouse, the teahouse next to him probably didn't have any good tea.

Ah Xi's back is very thin, a blue jacket is tied around the waist with a belt so that it can be wrapped around with two hands, and the trousers of the same color are empty. Duan Qianmo wonders where all the meat he ate went. .

The person in front has always been walking in the direction of the palace, gradually getting slower and slower, as if hesitating for something, Duan Qianmo looked at him about five feet away from him, and also slowed down, and suddenly saw him turn around Turn around and walk towards the wasteland on the outskirts of the city.

After walking for half an hour, the wasteland was already in sight. There was a desolate house here. OK

At this time of early winter, a large area of ​​grassland has withered and turned yellow. There is a small river running across the middle of the grassland mound, with waist-deep wormwood growing on both sides. Half-sized dolls are laying paper kites. Although the scenery is full of withered yellow, there is also a desolate beauty in desolation.

Duan Qianmo didn't cross the river, but stopped behind the wormwood. Axi went straight to the tallest Populus euphratica tree, climbed up quickly, found the thickest branch, leaned against the trunk, and leaned on it leisurely. , Find a comfortable position, and never move again.

Duan Qianmo looked at him from a distance, and Ah Xi also looked at him from a distance, looking at the sunset in the distance.

The boy's profile was like a sand sculpture, with distant eyes, and the pale golden afterglow sprinkled on half of his body, giving him an ancient and mysterious beauty.

Withered vines, old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, and ancient roads, westerly wind and thin horse.

Sunset, heartbroken people in the horizon.

This bleak word is being interpreted in front of your eyes, and a yellowish and golden picture hits the deepest part of people's hearts. It is an indescribable feeling that people will not necessarily remember, but it will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

What I remember is only the picture, what I can't forget is the feeling.

A burst of Xun tunes sounded softly, the tones ranging from small to loud, which frightened several resting black crows, flapping their wings and crashing into the dim yellow sky.

The tune flows from time to time, whimpers from time to time, is clear from time to time, and passionate from time to time, just like the wind in the desert blows up the yellow sand, lingering and lingering endlessly.

The wind passes by and remains still. The next time the wind and sand meet, will it roll up that piece of yellow sand?

Has the former piece of passionate sand that followed the wind been covered by new quicksand? Looking at the extreme sand sea, the original one has long been out of sight...

The sunset finally receded behind the mountains, the sky and the earth darkened for a moment, and a chill hit the body. Duan Qianmo suddenly came back to his senses, only then did he know that the song was over, and the dolls who released the paper kites had long since disappeared, while the person on the tree was still in the original posture, Bend your knees and look up, quietly looking into the distance.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Ah Xi hung the xun on her belt and was about to jump off the tree when the wind blew past her ears, someone M was already sitting firmly beside him, shoulder to shoulder, legs leaning against each other, Qinggui The scent of mint clearly enters the nasal cavity.

"Are you following me?" Ah Xi frowned slightly, her tone was not kind.

"Yeah, so what?" Duan Qianmo admitted carelessly, and handed over the paper bag in his hand, "Eat it, it's completely cold, it's better if it's just out of the pan."

Ah Xi is not a person who holds grudges, but hates people who can't remember anything and change their faces faster than turning the pages of a book. Duan Qianmo is obviously this kind, or the reverse one, with a black face at one moment and a hippie smile at the next.

"No, try one." Duan Qianmo stuffed the prepared chestnuts into Axi's mouth, looking at Shenhui with his dark eyes, "Is it delicious?"

The chilled chestnuts are still very sweet, and after eating one, he opened up his appetite, only to feel very hungry, and glanced at the bag in Duan Qianmo's hand.

"Eat, I bought it for you." Duan Qianmo said nonsense with a bird's mouth, and offered the bag obediently, "Do you want me to peel the shell for you?"

Ah Xi quickly took the bag, automatically immune to the nonsense he said.

The chestnut shell was very hard, and Ah Xi couldn't eat it when she held it in her hand. There was a layer of icing sugar on the surface of the shell. She stuck out her tongue and licked it. A layer of honey rolled up on the tip of her nimble tongue. She felt that it was boring, so she threw it into her mouth and sucked it. Remove the honey on the surface, and bite it on the die, and the whole chestnut is crushed with a "click".

"Pooh!"

The taste of the chestnuts with their shells is really not very good. After spitting out the dregs in my mouth, I also lost interest in this bag of chestnuts.

Duan Qianmo kept looking at him and smiling, took out one from the bag, peeled it open, took out the chestnut meat and fed it into his mouth.

"You haven't eaten?"

Axi swallowed one and nodded.

"So it's not that you don't like sweets, but that you haven't eaten them at all?" Duan Qianmo was a little surprised.

"I don't like to eat!" Ah Xi replied evasively, with a look of stubbornness subconsciously protecting herself because of her inferiority complex.

Duan Qianmo didn't ask any more questions, and lowered his head to peel the chestnuts. The two of them peeled one by one and ate the other, and the bag was wiped out soon.

There was still the sweet smell of chestnuts in his mouth. Ah Xi thought it was the best food he had ever eaten. Looking sideways at Duan Qianmo, he was holding a branch with both hands, and his slender legs were shaking leisurely. This man is a prince, but Without the aura of a prince, his eyes are soft, his voice is soft, his temper is also soft, even when he gets angry and scolds others, he is warm and fiery.

Thinking of the way he got angry on the long street, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and a smile was lightly rippling on the corners of his lips.

Duan Qianmo turned around and saw that the young man was used to being serious and serious, and seeing his smile inadvertently was like seeing the white tan blooming quietly in the middle of the night.

His facial features can barely be considered handsome, but they are too far away from handsome. Axi, who is ridiculous, is not enough to describe her handsomeness. It is like the light breaking through the clouds, which is extremely gorgeous in an instant, and is like a clam bead covered in dust. It contains the brilliance of thousands of years.

Feeling Duan Qianmo's eyes, Ah Xi put away her smile and said dryly, "Thank you!"

"Ah?" Duan Qianmo was dumbfounded.

"This." Pointing to the empty bag, then pointing to Duan Qianmo's dark thumb after peeling off the shell.

Duan Qianmo felt sorry, so he immediately climbed up the pole and leaned into Ah Xi's face, "What's the use of thanking you, come to pay me back..."

Ah Xi vigorously pushed Duan Qianmo away and shouted, "I'm a man!"

"Why not? I checked that day, he is a genuine 'man'." The ending sound was drawn out, the eyeliner was stretched, and he squinted and smiled: "I knew it a long time ago, why bother to emphasize it! Come on..."

"Hmph!" I really couldn't communicate with this kind of hairy-brained person, and was about to jump off the tree, but was grabbed by him.

"Okay, okay, it's really funny." Duan Qianmo put away the joke, and sat down side by side with Ah Xi, "How did you find this place?" I haven't climbed a tree before, and now I know that it feels good to lean against a tree and look at the sky really not bad.

Axi subconsciously touched the Xun on her waist, and her eyes with few emotions showed a faint nostalgia, "Popular euphratica is not afraid of wind, sand and scorching sun, I am familiar with its smell."

Duan Qianmo frowned slightly - what did he mean?Populus euphratica grows in the desert, but did he grow up in the desert?

"Tell me your story."

"What story can I have?"

"Well... childhood, your master, your mother and father, I want to hear."

Ah Xi lowered her head and thought for a while, then said in a calm tone: "My grandma is Han Chinese, so she was not favored. That man bullied her, refused to feed her, and wanted to starve her to death. My grandma and I lived in a small house. That man stopped coming, he had his son and a woman, and then my mother died of illness, that man bullied me and was killed by me, I escaped from that house and ran to the desert, when I was about to die, Master saved me Me, he taught me how to play the xun, this xun is the relic of the master, he passed away five years later, that's all."

Duan Qianmo was silent. Axi's narration was very simple, and she did not choose her words carefully. Because of this, after two "bullying" in a row, especially the second "bullying" on Axi herself, A dark, terrible surmise haunted him.

What has Axi experienced?He hated his father, he didn't even want to call daddy, what kind of deep hatred made him kill that man?There was a terrible conjecture that Duan Qianmo suppressed severely, and he didn't dare to think about it, but his heart seemed to be pinched by his fingertips, causing a dull pain.

"Good job!"

After a long time, Duan Qianmo squeezed out these three words, making himself feel comfortable and comforting Ah Xi's three words.

However, it was obvious that their thoughts were out of sync. During Duan Qianmo's long silence, Ah Xi had already wandered off to think about other things. These three words made him a little puzzled.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, besides blowing xun, what other skills did your master teach you?"

Axi turned her head to look at Duan Qianmo, hesitated for a long time, and said slowly: "Can you not tell me?" I don't want to lie to you...

"Okay, don't say it!"
