India

Afterwards, after Mo Nan's good talk, he finally persuaded the big Buddha to move him to the study room, which made his mouth dry. He felt that Ji Guiran was much more difficult to coax than a child.

"Why are you still angry?" Mo Nan looked at Ji Guiran, who was still looking unkind, full of doubts, "It's not that you haven't been laughed at by me before, as for..."

The latter didn't reply to him, and ignored him. Mo Nan saw that he seemed angry, and thought it was a little funny: "Are you really so angry? I can't do it if I reflect on it. It's my fault. I shouldn't have laughed so loudly. Next time I will find a place where no one is around to sneak around and make fun of you, I promise!"

"Shut up." Ji Guiran couldn't bear it anymore, "The study is here, you can stay by yourself."

"Hey, don't go!" Mo Nan held the piece of paper and said seriously, "It's business, don't want to be lazy, come and use your brains together."

Ji Guiran looked at the crumpled paper in his hand, it was a clue from a certain hell, and it was not easy to get it, but he still sneered mercilessly: "I thought Master Mo was so capable, there is no need to go down Do your best to help."

Mo Nan, who was used to being ridiculed, also retorted: "No way, no matter how smart Zhuge Liang is, adding a cobbler is better than nothing."

"Goodbye."

"Wait!" Mo Nan secretly regretted being so mean-spirited, and wished he could slap himself, "I didn't mean that, I meant...you are Zhuge Liang, I really can't figure it out, I can only rely on you wise."

After that, he still showed a flattering smile, Ji Guiran looked at his expression, felt that the anger in his heart could not be vented, so he simply didn't care about him, he said: "What do you do next?"

Seeing that Ji Guiran was relieved, Mo Nan felt relieved, and quickly pointed to the iron gate and said, "Go there, give it to the young master... Bah, help the cobbler and I will pull the painting up first."

Ji Guiran supported him with one hand, and with the other hand, he opened the covered scroll according to his words. Behind the painting was still the unmoving iron gate.

Mo Nan glanced at the paper, then at the keyhole of the iron door, and then returned his eyes to the paper. He checked back and forth for a long time before asking, "You said...is the key real?" Is it for opening the door?"

"do not know."

"What does that mean?"

"do not know."

"What is the connection between this iron gate and that hole?"

"do not know."

"Why do you ask three questions!" Mo Nan was extremely disgusted.

"Then you know and still ask me?"

"I..." He was discouraged, "I don't know..."

Mo Nan stared at the pattern on the top for a while, and suddenly said with an idea: "I understand, it means that the key is in that hole, come on, let's go again, maybe we will find it."

"No." Ji Guiran resolutely refused.

"...That's right," Mo Nan couldn't help but think of the unknown monster they encountered, and felt a little apprehensive, so he had to give up the idea.He said helplessly: "Then what should I do, the clues I finally got are cut off like this...En?"

I saw Ji Guiran let go of his hand, then took the paper in his hand, put it in front of him and looked at it, Mo Nan, who lost his support, was on the verge of falling, so he had to wrap his arms around him quickly, and pressed the weight on his own.

Ji Guiran didn't care about his behavior, he just stared at the pattern and thought about the clues.I don't know how long it took, Mo Nan felt his hands were sore, and he came to a conclusion and said: "It should not be in that hole."

"why?"

"The snakes around are probably seal snakes. If the key to open the door is really in the middle, then what it wants to express is that the key is under its control." Ji Guiran patiently explained for the first time, "That is to say , not too far from it."

"Oh..." Mo Nan nodded thoughtfully in agreement, thought of something, and then said, "But the seal snake has crawled in, did it bring the key in?"

"Impossible, this is a dead end."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Guess."

"..." Mo Nan gave him a contemptuous look.

Ji Guiran was also upset by his blank stare. He argued: "Did we break it along the way? If not, then this place shouldn't be a blind spot."

"It seems to make sense... Hey, you have a bright mind."

"It's certainly better than your brain stuffed with eating, drinking and having fun all day long."

"I..." Mo Nan was at a loss for words, "It's rare for me to praise you once, why do you still scold people instead?!"

"Just tell the truth." Ji Guiran said disdainfully.

"Ah, so angry!" Mo Nan couldn't help but yelled, "Then if you have the ability, tell me where to find it!"

"How do I know? It may be in the yard, or it may be in the room. Anyway, you can find it slowly."

"What about you? Don't tell me that you won't look for it together." Mo Nan dragged him and wouldn't let go, "I don't care, I'm a disabled person and you let me rummage haystacks by myself, you're still not human."

In fact, Ji Guiran had no intention of not taking action, but when he saw Mo Nan's weak and shameless appearance, he couldn't help thinking badly, and he curled his lips and said, "Why did you leave the lady and fight alone? For husband Take care of yourself.”

"You!" Mo Nan was furious, and at this moment he wanted to beat the man in front of him more than looking for something.

"I?"

Mo Nan gritted his teeth, and swallowed a rolling word. He knew that this guy was waiting for him. After he said it, he must have rolled away immediately. A villain, really a villain .After thinking about it, Mo Nan decided not to be as knowledgeable as him, and reluctantly replied, "Oh, then follow closely and don't slip away."

Looking at the expression on Ji Guiran's face that the plan didn't succeed, Mo Nan only felt that the devil was so tall.

After the confrontation between the two sides, it was finally time to get down to business.This kind of carpet search seemed familiar. Mo Nan recalled that it was the same in the He Mansion in Hunshan Township. He searched inch by inch. There are no strange ghosts here.

He suddenly remembered that when he left Soul Mountain that day, he saw Yun Shuangyue bid farewell to him on Lingshan, where would she be now?Did you go to reincarnation?Or have you returned to your hometown?Mo Nan thought about it for a long time, and sighed in his heart, forget it, life and death have their own laws, who knows, it is better to focus on the present.

He Jing's residence is far less spacious than that of He Mansion, but what they were looking for in He Mansion before was a seal snake, this time they found an iron door key that was much smaller than the seal snake, and the difficulty was not reduced much.In order to improve efficiency, Mo Nan brought Ji Tianze along with him.

"Really? Is the key really in the house? Don't lie to me because I don't read much." Ji Tianze was dubious about his words.

"Maybe it's here, the hope in my heart can't be extinguished." Mo Nan pulled him and walked into the yard.

"Why don't I believe it so much... I've lived here for several years. If it was really in the house, I should have found out long ago."

"Then have you searched every corner?"

"...That's not true."

"That's it? Hurry up." Mo Nan urged.

So, the three cobblers began to rummage in the old house, and after finding a place, they rectified it along the way.For example, remove some weeds in the yard, and clean up the rooms that have not been used for a long time. After half a day, the whole house has become much more organized than before.

"I'm still thinking about Brother He doing a big cleaning before he comes back...Ah!" Ji Tianze choked on the dust in the room when he wiped it with a rag, he rubbed his nose and said, "It's all right now, I don't need to clean it specially, Cleaned up once and for all.”

"..." Mo Nan said helplessly, "If I were Brother He, I would definitely regret letting you stay here."

"Brother He won't dislike me! Hehe."

Mo Nan looked at his silly smile and asked curiously, "You know him well?"

"Well...well, even though Brother He and I have only been together for a month or two, he moved away, but I really think he is a good person," Ji Tianze recalled the past, "When I first came here, I really I was very scared. There were people with different worldviews everywhere. They couldn’t understand a lot of what I said. At first, some people thought I was crazy. I said I had to go home. They asked me where my home was, but I couldn’t answer it. Why? To describe it...it is very hopeless..."

"But Brother He," Ji Tianze changed his subject, with a lot of gratitude in his tone, "he took me in with unknown origin, and said that I could stay with him until I went back, and let me think slowly, I will always remember my way home.”

Mo Nan listened intently to his words, and couldn't help but feel that he was a little pitiful, and then he felt sympathy.He was about to say a few words of comfort, but Ji Tianze asked first, "By the way, do you know where Big Brother He is now?"

"This..." Mo Nan thought that He Jing should have left Hunshan Township by now, but there was no way of knowing where he went after that, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

"Is that so..."

"But don't worry, he has written to you. You wait for him in the village, and he will definitely come back."

"Yeah, I hope, Amo, you are so kind, you are as good as Brother He!" Ji Tianze stretched out his arms to hug him and said cheerfully.

"Hey, be gentle, and pay attention to the dust on your body..." Mo Nanxie rubbed his head with a smile, and warned non-threateningly, "I'm going to put the dirty things on my hands on your hair Are you afraid?"

"Come on, let's hurt each other!" Ji Tianze wiped his hands on his clothes not to be outdone.

"Wow, you're welcome!"

"You're welcome! Kang is busy!"

The two were mischievously making trouble on each other when they were suddenly interrupted by a bang on the door.Looking up, I saw a certain culprit, Zheng Yintang, standing blackened at the door, the hand that smashed the door was moved to the door frame and clenched tightly, the knuckles were so hard that they turned white.

"You dare to be lazy?" The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he glared at them fiercely.

very scary!The two people in the room huddled together in fright, and said in unison: "Don't dare!"

"Then shut up and work." Ji Guiran put more force on his hand, the door frame was almost broken by him, so he let go.After threatening the two, before leaving, he turned around and added: "No hugs!"

"..." The two hurriedly separated.

When his figure disappeared at the door, Mo Nan rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, "I'm sick."

"Ah... I'm really sick." Ji Tianze agreed as if he saw through everything.

A few people were fighting and making noise, and they were exhausted from working until dark.But they did nothing but make the house tidy.

"I'm so tired..." Mo Nan felt that sitting on the stool in the guest room was not enough to relieve the pressure, so he simply lay down on the collapsed floor, complaining with a sigh, "I'm so tired...I can't move...I'm going to die here ..."

"No prospect." Sitting Ji Guiran said contemptuously.

Mo Nanquan pretended not to hear, and continued to talk to himself: "My eyes are so sore, I'm going blind, I don't want to watch...I want to see a better scenery slowly..."

In his mind, the night scene by the Xihe River that he saw that day suddenly appeared, and then he straightened up from the bed and asked Ji Guiran: "Hey Ji Guiran! Let's go to the river to see!"

"No." Ji Guiran couldn't understand why this man said he was going to die on the bed one second, and wanted to rush out the next second, so he refused directly.

"Aren't your eyes tired?"

"Tired, but not going."

"Why?" Mo Nan was puzzled.

"Seeing you upset."

"..."

Mo Nan, who looked disgusted, felt a little baffled and a little angry at the same time.He angrily said: "Then you stay here alone and get moldy!!" After finishing speaking, regardless of the still aching feet, he got up and walked out the door angrily.

He yelled into the house several times, and was about to walk to the gate by himself, when he was stopped by a voice above his head.

"Hey? Amo, where are you going?" The voice was Ji Tianze's.

Mo Nan looked up curiously, and saw Ji Tianze sitting on the roof, leaning his upper body up to look at him.

"Wow, Tianze, how did you get there?"

"That's how I climbed up, by the way, where are you going?"

"My eyes hurt." Mo Nan rubbed his sore eyes, "Go to the riverside to have a look and relax."

"It's so dangerous at night... and there are people in the dark, aren't you afraid of getting lost?"

"..." is in the sentence.

"Don't go if you don't know the way, come," he stretched out his hand towards Mo Nan, "Go to the roof to see the scenery."

"Although you say so...but I can't go up."

"I'm here, Biefang, grab my hand and let you fly high." Ji Tianze lowered his hand a little, and smiled at him.

The eaves of the old house are not high from the ground. Mo Nan stood on tiptoe a little, and he could reach his outstretched hand. As soon as his fingers touched Ji Tianze's hand, he was firmly grasped by his backhand. Mo Nan just thought It seemed that this person wanted to pull him up directly, but he suddenly felt his wrist being lifted violently.

After a while of dizziness, Mo Nan, whose dizziness dissipated, felt that his field of vision was much higher.

"Oh, I almost lost my grip and fell." Ji Tianze let go of his grip and shook his hands.

"You... have such a strong hand..." Mo Nan leaned against him, but his mind still hadn't recovered.

"It's a small thing, it's a big deal."

Seeing that he still had enough strength, Mo Nan began to wonder if he was the only one with weak strength among all the people. Then he sighed softly, adjusted his posture in frustration, and sat on the dense tiles of the roof.

"Hey, you seem unhappy?" Ji Tianze asked worriedly, "What's wrong, did I scratch you?"

"No, I'm just a little desperate."

"What are you desperate for?" Ji Tianze motioned him, "Come on, lie down."

"What are you doing lying down?"

"Oh, you should just lie down~"

Listening to his mysterious tone, Mo Nan didn't know what kind of medicine this man was selling in his gourd. He leaned his upper body on the roof as he said, the tiles behind him were a little uncomfortable, and his eyes kept staring at him from the beginning to the end. With Ji Tianze.

"Don't look at me," Ji Tianze reminded, "look at the sky."

Hearing this, Mo Nan withdrew his gaze from staring at him and turned his gaze to the sky, and he was stunned the next second.

What came into view was a large starry sky. The night sky was full of stars, and the black night sky was black with deep blue due to the existence of stars.Dots of starlight combine to form the Milky Way and extend to the horizon, without the cover of dark clouds and other buildings, it is even more vast and vast.

The Altair star far away, the man and woman of the Jiaojiao River, really is a natural beauty.

After a while, he murmured in surprise, "...it's so beautiful."

"That's right, it's beautiful!" Ji Tianze praised, "I think the night sky in this era is the most beautiful. The atmosphere is not polluted, and every household doesn't use electricity. At night, the stars can be seen very clearly."

"..." Mo Nan half understood.

"I discovered this scenery not long after I came here. Anyway, for so long, there was no one to talk to at night, so I often climbed up to take a look when the weather was fine... It's a bit embarrassing to say it," Ji Tianze showed shame. , "In the beginning, I fell from the top several times and fell into the grass. The pain was so painful."

Mo Nan deeply agreed with the pain, and at the same time, seeing Ji Tianze's heartless appearance, he felt pity in his heart, he turned sideways, stroked the hair on his forehead with his hands, and said, "You alone People living here won’t be lonely?”

"Lonely, of course I'm lonely, why don't you kiss me now? I'll be fine soon." He smirked badly.

"..." Mo Nan felt that he had lost his mind when he was talking to him seriously, and was about to withdraw his hand and roll his eyes at him, but just as he was about to stop, Ji Tianze quickly grabbed him.

"?" Mo Nan felt his palms sweat slightly.

"I'm serious... There is no loneliness..." He put Mo Nan's hand on his lips, and whispered in a very soft voice, "...It's just a little lonely."

If the starlight wasn't bright enough, Mo Nan should be able to catch the lonely look on his face, but unfortunately he didn't see it clearly.Fortunately, the surrounding area was relatively quiet, and the second half of his words fell into his ears verbatim. Coupled with his warm air puffing on his hands, Mo Nan felt as if something had hit his heart.

Ji Tianze was silent for a while, put his hand back, and then stood up and looked down at Mo Nan below.

Mo Nan looked at him, and now Ji Tianze was a lot more serious than usual, as if he had something to say.He just stared at him without saying a word, waiting for him to speak first.

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Tianze looked at him seriously, and then asked a question.

"Would you like to hear me speak?"

At that moment, it seemed that the entire starry sky was reflected in his eyes.
