Looking for plums under the moon

Hearing that Ling Guyue wanted to 'settle accounts' with her, Shen Luo's complexion quickly turned gray, and his fingertips suddenly pierced into his palm, "Senior brother said it is..."

Looking at his bleeding fingers, Ling Guyue said helplessly: "Let go!"

Shen Luo blinked, only then realized his actions, and slowly let go of his hand.

"Let me ask you, apart from lying to me about losing all my martial arts, is there anything else you are hiding from me?"

Shen Luo shook his head, but seeing Ling Guyue's extremely serious expression, he nodded again.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Luo was silent for a long while, then Fang Shen said: "Brother, I met Lin Jue alone when I was in Jinling."

Shen Luo didn't know that Ling Guyue could hear the conversation between him and Lin Jue clearly from the beam; Shen Luo didn't know that all his suspicions about him later came from this.

"anything else?"

Shen Luo frowned slightly, "Leaving Pingchuan, I had already noticed that Xiao Qiu was following him, but I didn't want senior brother to see him, that night in Liujia Town, senior brother was about to find him, it was me who suddenly appeared and sent senior brother Brought it back to the inn."

Ling Guyue thought for a while, and thought, no wonder he chased him out so late...

"What else?"

"Xiaoqiu didn't want to kill me... I deliberately wanted my brother to misunderstand him, and then drive him away."

"and also?"

"I've gone to my senior brother several times..."

Ling Guyue was at a loss, "When? How come I don't know?"

"When I went... Senior brother was already asleep, I just stood there for a while and then left."

Ling Guyue didn't know how long he was talking for a while, and didn't want to break the casserole to ask the end, so she continued to ask.

"Not long ago, I met a girl named Bizhu in Shuyinglou."

"Bizhu?" Ling Guyue suddenly remembered the girl who was singing "Selling a Child" on that swaying boat, "She really went to find me?"

Shen Luo said: "She said she has an agreement with senior brother."

"Did she find the person she was looking for?"

Shen Luo shook his head, "No."

Ling Guyue had seen Ruan Lang in Jinling before, and Taoyedu by the river, the young man shouted sadly, but he didn't know where he went after being stopped by those big men.Maybe the world is really like what the third uncle said, once you miss it, you can only regret it...

"What about her?"

"I let her go, maybe still looking for that person now."

……

"anything else?"

"When Senior Brother went to Jiaochen Pavilion... I went to find Third Uncle."

"What else..." Ling Guyue could hardly ask anymore.

"I replanted plum trees around Luoyingtan."

Ling Guyue was startled, "Why?"

Shen Luo raised her eyes, "Brother, don't you miss the plum blossoms in Luoyingtan the most?"

Ling Guyue looked at him, the sharp-edged man in front of him, with a slight melancholy in his brows and eyes, had no resemblance to the child who always liked to softly call himself "senior brother" when he was young.

People always change.

But do I miss plum blossoms, or do I miss the old days?He also gradually couldn't tell the difference.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Luo took the initiative to say: "Other than that, there is nothing else."

Ling Guyue came back to her senses, "No more? What happened to you pretending to be Brother He to lie to me a few days ago?"

Shen Luo argued: "Actually...it's not a lie, I have explained it to my senior brother."

Ling Guyue asked suspiciously: "How did you ever explain it to me?"

Shen Luo pursed her lips, took Ling Guyue's hand and walked outside the inn, "Brother, come with me."

"Where to go?"

"You'll know when we arrive..."

As soon as he walked downstairs, there were people sitting in the lobby chatting and admiring the snow. Seeing the two holding hands, dozens of pairs of eyes stared at the pair of clasped hands.

Disciple Ping Chuan was already aware of the strangeness, and he turned his head tacitly, Fan Shiyao and Lin Jue both looked puzzled.

Ling Guyue withdrew her hand uncomfortably, but there was no change on her face, "I'll go out with my junior brother."

Fan Shiyao supported his cheek with one hand, his eyes moved slightly, and he drifted towards Ling Guyue, "Do you want us to go together?"

Shen Luo glanced at her, "No need." After saying that, he walked out of the inn first.

Ling Guyue left a sentence: "We will be back soon." Then he stepped up and chased him out.

Ling Guyue followed him to the mountain behind the Feiyun Pavilion, all the way in silence, only the sound of 'creaking' from the shoes on the snow.

Where to go?

Shen Luo didn't say anything, and he didn't ask.

The snow was flying like a bird, and the two of them had empty hands, not to mention plain silk umbrellas, and they didn't even hold the two swords that never left their bodies.It's more like a young man who strayed into the depths of the reeds on a whim, and unknowingly stained his head with reed flowers.

Ling Guyue reached out to catch a piece of snow, watched it slowly turn into a drop of crystal clear snow water in the palm of her hand, reflecting her own face, vaguely still the same as when she was young, thinking that she had returned to Pingchuan.

After walking for half a day, the wind and snow gradually tightened, the dead branches above their heads swayed "squeaky", and the corners of their clothes were blown violently.Looking back, in the sparse forest, two parallel footprints disappeared at the end of the path.

"Here we are." Shen Luo finally stopped walking.

Ling Guyue looked up, and there was a lake in front of her.

It is still the blue lake, mysterious and vast, shining with fine silver light, like a vast starry sky.In the center of the lake is a huge boulder piled with snow. The water surface is not frozen, but is glowing with gossamer-like mist.

The snow fell silently, and melted together with the water mist at the junction of sky and water.

This is the lake that night.

Shen Luo glanced at him, tapped his toes, and swept towards the center of the lake.

Ling Guyue followed closely behind. As soon as she landed, her feet sank into the soft snow. It turned out that there was already such a thick layer.

"What are you doing here?"

"Senior brother," Shen Luo squatted down, brushing away the heavy snow, revealing a smooth stone surface, "Didn't you see this that day?"

Ling Guyue looked towards his fingertips, and saw a line of words engraved on the stone buried by the wind and snow:

After farewell, I always think about you, and meeting each other may be a dream——Shen Luo

The chiseling marks are deep, and the writing force hides the edge.The person who left the book used his finger as a substitute for the pen, and I don't know how hard he used it.

Even if there is no signature, Ling Guyue can recognize Shen Luo's handwriting at a glance.But at that time, he was just surprised that the people around him disappeared, and he didn't pay attention to the stone under his feet, so he hurried back to the inn, "You...why didn't you tell me directly?"

Shen Luo's fingertips still stayed on those words, with a touch of nostalgia, maybe only he himself knew the deep thoughts contained in them. "At that time, the two elders were still dormant in the dark, and the Piao Miao formation was extremely dangerous. I was afraid that my senior brother would not follow me after recognizing me...I couldn't take this risk."

"Then escaped later...why didn't you say it?"

Shen Luo looked back at him, wondering if it was Ling Guyue's illusion, there was a bit of resentment in that gaze, "Senior brother only thinks what I think, if I say it face to face, senior brother will definitely be angry with me again... "

Ling Guyue covered her lips and coughed, thinking: Could it be that I spoke too seriously before?He didn't even dare to tell me the truth...

Shen Luo sighed and stood up, but his body suddenly shook.

Ling Guyue hurriedly clasped his wrist to support him. "What's wrong?"

Shen Luo stood firm, with cold sweat on his temples, gritted his teeth and said, "It's nothing..."

Ling Guyue looked around with a complicated expression, "I remember, you are very afraid of water."

Shen Luo forced a smile, "With senior brother here, I'm not afraid." But his face was still a little ugly.

Ling Guyue didn't let go, she suddenly thought of something, and reached for his left arm.

Shocked, Shen Luo hurriedly took a step back.

Ling Guyue understood most of it in her heart, "You are injured." He affirmed.

Shen Luo shook his head, "It's nothing serious."

Ling Guyue ignored him, frowned and asked, "Did you get hurt by the two elders that night?"

Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

No wonder there was a smell of medicine in his room...

"Do you know that tomorrow you will have to fight someone else?"

Seeing his serious face, Shen Luo said in a low voice: "I'm sure."

"Are you sure? Which of the 36 sect leaders is not a master?" Ling Guyue's tone carried a bit of anger that she didn't realize.

"Brother, I once promised you to become number one in the world."

"I don't care if you are number one in the world, as long as you..."

Shen Luo looked at him steadily, "Brother, are you worried about me?"

Ling Guyue was about to laugh angrily at him, but when she saw his expectant eyes and joyful tone of voice, she couldn't get angry anymore.

The fleeting memories of the world flooded towards him like a river of stars, the plum blossoms outside Shen Dong Pavilion, the fireflies in midsummer, and the dazzling swordsmanship.Docile, well-behaved, deep, shadowy... From childhood to now, there is always only one person by my side, and it is him.

What changed or did not change?

After so many years, the affection and pursuit in that person's eyes remained the same as before.

Ling Guyue was suddenly discouraged, and said slowly: "Yes, I am very worried about you."

Shen Luo didn't seem to expect that he would say it so straightforwardly, so he froze for a moment, "It's just... just a small injury, it doesn't hurt at all." Such soft-spoken comfort, as if the injured person was not himself but Ling lonely moon.

Ling Guyue held her brows tightly and grabbed his wrist, "Let's go back."

Shen Luo remained motionless, "Don't worry, I still have something to say to senior brother."

"It's not too late to go back."

Shen Luo held his hand instead, and looked at him quietly, "There are only me and senior brother here, so it's better to talk here."

Seeing his firm expression, Ling Guyue had no choice but to stop.

The two stood side by side on the boulder, looking at the snowy scenery in the distance.

"I remember that senior brother liked snow days the most."

Ling Guyue was thinking about the injury on his arm, and gave an absent-minded "hmm".

"At that time, there was snow all over Pingchuan, and we pestered Uncle Ge to take us hunting together."

"good……"

"Once I hunted a rabbit and gave it to my brother. I thought my brother would like it, but I didn't expect my brother to turn around and roast it."

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Shen Luo lowered his head, "I always don't know what senior brother wants, just like a rabbit, I thought that senior brother would raise it, but in fact, I did a lot of self-righteous stupid things, which always made senior brother angry, and I still don't know Unknowingly hurt senior brother..."

"I can't see senior being nice to others, whether it's smiling, talking, or getting close, obviously those should belong to me!" Shen Luo's eyes revealed a trace of sternness, which soon turned into loneliness, shaking his head, "It was only later that I realized that I was wrong, senior brother is not my private property..."

"I'm trying to be more 'magnanimous'." Shen Luo's voice became deeper and hoarse, "I saw senior brother smiling lightly at He Suisi, at Qingzhu, and at Xiaoqiu, and the jealousy in my heart obviously hasn't diminished a bit. However, seeing the brother happy and at ease seems to make me feel better, but I don't know if it is the joy from the heart or just empty."

"Everything is my own fault, and I am not satisfied."

Seeing his gloomy face, Ling Guyue muttered: "Actually, that day at the inn..." My words were a bit heavy.

When Shen Luo heard him mention that day, his complexion paled suddenly, and he interrupted him: "I remember what senior brother said that day, if, if senior brother really doesn't want to see me again, when I return to Pingchuan, I will never see you again." Appearing in front of Senior Brother, just letting me look at Shen Dongxie from a distance across the valley is enough..."

An inexplicable feeling rose in Ling Guyue's heart, "Is this how you plan?"

Shen Luo looked at the misty sky, missed the look in his eyes, and said sadly: "Maybe one day senior brother will meet someone he likes, although I don't know how to bless you, but I will definitely protect senior brother, if that person It's not good for senior brother..." He furrowed his brows and said ruthlessly: "The ends of the earth, I will never let him go!"

Such a sinking, domineering and showing a little sadness, the usual cold mask is no longer seen.

Ling Guyue looked at him, worried in her heart, and finally made a decision, "Maybe we..."

Shen Luo seemed to know what decisive words he was going to say, so he interrupted him quickly: "I once heard someone say that after all, there is a family relationship between men and men, and it can't last long. If senior brother... wants to choose a partner, It's better to be a woman, but women are weak, I don't worry about senior brother..."

"Oh? What are you worried about?" Ling Guyue couldn't help but sigh secretly when she heard his wild thoughts.

Shen Luo's eyes dodged, and he said annoyedly: "If something happens to senior brother, I'm afraid they will be hard to save. Besides, there are many beautiful women who are good at smooth talk, senior brother must not be deceived by them, we still need to..."

Listening to his chatter, Ling Guyue simply let go of his wrist, clasped the back of his head, and blocked his unfinished words between her lips.

In the boundless wind and snow, on the heart of Yanbo Lake, there is a light kiss.

The moment Ling Guyue approached, Shen Luo's mind went blank, and the words he had found with great difficulty were suddenly broken into scattered sentences, which exploded with a 'bang', and then turned into curls of green smoke, dissipating bit by bit. .

The two were very close, and a heavy and powerful heartbeat came from someone's chest, "Boom, boom, boom", in this silent lake light and haze, it was like two armies fighting drums, and one side was calm If you are idle, one side will be defeated.

After a shallow kiss, Ling Guyue let go of him, suppressed the burning on her face, looked at him directly and said: "I don't care about the past, from now on, I just want to be honest with you, Heaven and earth make a promise, and this life lasts. Shen Luo, what about you?"
