burning lamp

"Have you got it?"

"No, no..."

Yan Nan had already pushed open the bamboo window of the attic, and now he was half lying on the edge of the window, in a dilemma. He turned his head and looked at Xie Fengshu with a troubled expression: "Brother Xie, is it not good for us to do this?"

Tsk, good boy.

Xie Fengshu sighed, if it wasn't for Yannan, Xie Fengshu could still use a trick to get the wine, but now it's not easy for him to reveal his identity, so he can only jump up like the other party and climb up the window sill.

Anyway, he was taking other people's things, Xie Fengshu looked around with a guilty conscience, then lowered his voice and said: "Is anyone coming?"

There was silence downstairs, Xie Fengshu asked again tirelessly: "Is there any?"

After a long while, Xiaoxi's voice came from the night, his tone full of impatience: "No!"

It's fine if you don't have one.Xie Fengshu quietly turned over and entered the attic, carried a jug of wine to Yannan, and carried a jug himself, let Yannan go down first, and then climbed down slowly with one hand on the window sill.

He thought to himself: I am a majestic fairy in the heaven, and in the middle of the night I took a half-grown child and a monster to steal wine and drink. If this got out, I probably wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in the heaven.

After all, he just couldn't bear to look at the child's dejected look. In addition, Xie Fengshu had already drank a lot of wine just now, so he can't drink very well, and it's easy to do some unexpected things when he gets drunk Come.

The next is not an example, the next is not an example.Xie Fengshu slowly climbed down while thinking, when Yan Nan who was underneath suddenly exclaimed: "Someone is coming!"

Xie Fengshu was distracted at first, but when he heard the words, he felt guilty, and suddenly his hands slipped, and he fell backwards and fell directly from the upstairs.

……Unjust is doomed to destruction!

Xie Fengshu only had this sentence in his mind. In a hurry, he could only reach out his hand out of inertia and thump for a while when he was about to fall to the ground, wanting to grab something and keep his famous name as Immortal Lingheng—at least not It fell too ugly.

He grabbed a piece of plain white skirt.

Someone caught him downstairs.

It's not appropriate to say that it's catching, but the embarrassment that Xie Fengshu fell down was more like he made a mistake in his haste and bumped into the opponent's arms.But the other party just reached out his hand, wrapped around Xie Fengshu's waist, and helped him up.

Xie Fengshu raised his head, as expected, Jiang Chen frowned lightly, lowered his head and looked at Xie Fengshu, his usually indifferent face looked helpless.

They were too close, Xie Fengshu's eyelashes almost touched Jiang Chen's nose.He took a few steps back and looked again, oh, I was wrong, there was no expression on his face at all, but Xiaoxi next to him frowned and looked irritable.

"How can you be so stupid?"

...From today onwards, the heavenly Lord Changzun will come from behind and replace Fu Guangjun Pei Yu as the person I hate the most.

Yan Nan had an extra falcon on his shoulder, looking around, as if he didn't understand what this group of people was doing in the middle of the night.Yan Nan looked at Xie Fengshu with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Brother Xie, it was Zhuoxue flying over, I thought it was a human."

Xie Fengshu silently stared at the silly bird on his shoulder for a moment, then waved his hands weakly.

Anyway, I lost face in front of Jiang Chen several times, and I don't care if I lose face a few more times.

It was already late at night, the bonfire had been burned out, and the lights of every household in the village had been turned off. In order not to disturb others, they simply sat on the roof of Yannan's bamboo house.

The night is like water, the sky is high and the earth is wide, everything is silent in the vastness of the mountains and fields, only the sound of unknown insects is carried by the evening wind from afar.

It was the first time Yannan drank alcohol. He tried to lick the wine in the bowl with his tongue, frowned and said, "It's a bit spicy—and a little sweet."

Xie Fengshu took a big sip with a smile and put the bowl aside.

He doesn't drink well, but fortunately, Wu Chu's wine is not strong wine, but a little sweeter.Jiang Chen still didn't drink, and although Xie Xi looked disgusted, he still took the wine bowl.

At first, Yan Nan tasted it bit by bit like a puppy, and then he drank with his head up like Xie Fengshu. As he leaned up, the longevity lock on his chest shook slightly in mid-air.

Wu Chu should not have such a thing as a longevity lock—at least the whole family seems to have one hanging on Yannan's chest, but it also has the characteristics of Wu Chu advocating silverware, with simple and mysterious patterns.

Seeing that Xie Fengshu's eyes fell on his longevity lock, Yan Nan lowered his head to take a look, and laughed again: "My aunt made this for me, she said, it is a longevity lock for them. the meaning of."

He paused, and said again: "Originally, Yanxia should have one too, but then A Niang is gone."

After all, it was the first time to drink, and Yan Nan's voice was a little blurred in the night wind.

"My eagle is called Zhuoxue, because my mother said she likes snow the most, but I haven't seen what snow looks like, Wu Chu never snows.

"Uncle got angry at you today because he doesn't like me, and I'm not stupid."

Yan Nan curled his lips, fell back and slept on the roof, and kept talking: "Uncle wants to be the patriarch, I know, if he wants to be, then he will be."

Xie Fengshu didn't expect Yan Nan to be a chatterbox when he was drunk, so he tilted his head to listen to the other party's chatter.

Yan Nan lay on the roof and looked up at the sky. In the southwestern night, the sky was as dark as ink, with thousands of stars hanging down.It was the first time he drank alcohol, his cheeks were already flushed, but his eyes were still clear, reflecting the endless galaxy.

"A Niang once said that the world outside is vast and boundless, there is snow that lasts for thousands of years, and the vast deep sea is endless. There are people outside, they don't live in the mountains, they live in the capital city made of stones—you are Did you come from the capital, what is it like there?"

Xie Fengshu put his hands in his sleeves and answered honestly: "Coincidentally, we also live in the mountains."

Jiang Chen and Xiao Xi: "..."

Yan Nan rolled his eyes with a smile, turned his head nonchalantly, and spoke again in the silent starlight: "It's okay, I'm seventeen years old, and I'll be old when I hunt a black bear. A-Xia goes out of the mountains to see for herself what A-Niang said about the deep sea in winter snow, the ancient capital of the imperial city."

"It doesn't matter where you go. When I grow up, I will be a man. I will take good care of Yanxia until she grows up and meets someone she likes—that person should also like her."

He frowned, seemed a little unhappy, but repeated it forcefully: "I like A-Xia more than my father and mother, than me. The whole world only likes her."

His tone was firm, with the arrogance he should have at this age, and he said it so naturally.Xie Fengshu joked with a smile: "If you are like this, no one in the whole world is worthy of A-Xia."

Yan Nan snorted unconvinced: "Then I will always take care of her."

Xiaoxi next to him suddenly smiled.

He laughed very low, fleeting, and then said in a low voice: "My senior sister said the same."

His voice was softer than ever before, with a slight smile: "I'm always worried that my junior brother will be cheated by others, and I have endless worries every day. I always think that I will take care of them for the rest of my life, so I complain about myself every day. Can't get married."

Under the cover of a half mask, Xie Fengshu couldn't see Xiaoxi's expression clearly, only saw that the other party lowered his head slightly, looking at something, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xie Feng didn't know why, but he instinctively didn't want to make a sound.But Yannan looked over at Xiaoxi curiously.

"Then did she get married later?"

The corners of Xiaoxi's mouth suddenly disappeared, and he raised his head again, raised his head and drank the wine in his hand, and put the bowl aside, making a dull sound.

"No." Xie Xi's voice was cold and hard, "Later she died."

Yan Nan's curious expression was replaced by shock, and he quickly said "I'm sorry".

After a while, Xie Xi finally answered: "It's okay, it happened many years ago, I almost don't remember it."

Xie Fengshu didn't expect such an ending, his heart sank, and he looked at Xiaoxi for a long time in the dark night.

He wanted to say something, but his mind went blank, and in the end he didn't speak.He just turned his head to look at Yan Nan, who was still a little guilty, smiled reassuringly, and suddenly asked, "Are you going to hunt bears tomorrow?"

Yan Nan turned his head and looked at Xie Fengshu in confusion, Xie Fengshu drank the last sip of wine in the bowl, and smiled at Yan Nan under the starlight.

"Aren't you good at swordsmanship? I'll lend you my sword. If you don't succeed tomorrow, if you don't succeed the day after tomorrow, you will find it one day."

Yan Nan's eyes lit up, he turned over and sat up: "Your knife?"

Xie Fengshu simply untied the long knife from his waist and threw it to Yannan.

"This knife is called Feng Yuan, and it is what I carry with me."

Yan Nan carefully drew the knife out of its sheath. The snow-white blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, and it shone coldly under the starlight. At this moment, Jiang Chen and Xiaoxi also turned their heads to look at the long knife in Yan Nan's hand.

"Have you been following you?" Yan Nan looked at Xie Fengshu and asked curiously, "Where did that come from?"

Xie Fengshu was taken aback, and answered truthfully: "I don't know, since——"

He originally wanted to say that the knife had followed him since Feisheng, but after a pause, he shrugged and replied, "Anyway, it seems to have been by my side all the time."

Yan Nan simply stood up and tried the sword. Under the night like water, the young man held the sword in his hand, and his figure was tall and straight. Although he was dressed in a foreign costume, he looked a little bit of chivalry.

It's a pity that the young man drank alcohol, his footsteps were unsteady, and he almost fell off the roof, but was quickly dragged back to his original position by Xiaoxi's eyes and hands.

Yan Nan sat obediently on the roof and did not dare to move. He saw the Sanskrit characters engraved on the back of the knife and asked, "What is this? Is it a painting?"

"It's a kind of text."

"Then what does it mean?"

Xie Fengshu spread his hands: "I don't know."

"...I don't know," Yan Nan returned the saber, scabbard to Xie Fengshu, "Is this your saber?"

Hey, Xie Fengshu laughed angrily: "It's always on me, why isn't it my knife?"

Yan Nan didn't feel drunk just now, but when he tried the knife just now, he moved a little harder, and even his head was a little dizzy, and he looked at Xie Fengshu with his eyelids open: "Then why don't you know anything?"

Xie Fengshu was also surprised.Since he flew up, this knife has been by his side all the time. He doesn't know its origin, he only knows that in his previous life, he was a spirit between heaven and earth, without even a shape, wandering around the world, and finally ascended in Nanming.

But if you are born with a spirit, how can you have a weapon with you?

Xie Fengshu thought about it at first, but he couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother to think about it later - he would take it if he had a knife, it was pretty easy anyway.

He looked at Yan Nan whose eyelids were clenched, and said helplessly, "I know you're about to fall asleep—go back to your room."

Yan Nan stood up obediently, he was already falling asleep, but fortunately he was very obedient, let several people carry him downstairs and throw him on the bed.

After tidying up the little boy, the three of them returned to the bamboo building together.

The sky and the earth were all quiet, and the three of them didn't speak a word along the way.After going upstairs, Xie Xi and Jiang Chen opened the door and entered the room first, Xie Fengshu was already drunk, so he stopped in the corridor of his door first, wanting to blow some air.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen, who was about to enter the house, looked back at him.Xie Fengshu was taken aback, and quickly waved his hand to indicate that he was fine, and asked not soberly: "Would you like to stand together for a while?"

After a while, Jiang Chen didn't answer, just looked away and entered the room.

... This monk's temper is too strange.

Xie Fengshu looked back somewhat inexplicably.In the cool night, he thought about what Xiaoxi said on the roof just now.

For some reason, he really wanted to ask about the former senior sister of Xiaoxi—who was his name, how old he was, and how he died.

But all the way without asking the exit.

It is not a good thing to inquire about other people's past at will, especially when it concerns the dead, and it is disrespectful to the dead.

After the heat on his face subsided, Xie Fengshu let out a long sigh of relief, pushed the door open and entered.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, Xie Fengshu didn't bother to light up the lamp, closed the door and walked to the bed intuitively.

As soon as he took a step, he stopped again.

Although he was drunk, Xie Fengshu was not so dull that he couldn't notice anything.

There is one more person in his room.
