India

Mo Nan rubbed his nose that hurt from being smashed, and didn't care what fell on the ground for a while, and shouted at Ji Guiran: "Did you do it on purpose?!"

He shouted angrily, but it was a pity that Ji Guiran didn't want to quarrel with him, he ignored his roar, bent over and picked up the thing that fell out of the scroll, put it in front of his eyes for a while, and asked, "That's it? "

"Can you listen to me..." Mo Nan was about to continue pestering unwillingly, when he suddenly responded, "En? What?"

Ji Guiran felt that he was out of his mind when he asked him seriously about something serious, and he didn't want to talk to him, so he went to ask Ji Tianze if he wanted to hide the thing, but Mo Nan stood up on the ground like a carp, and quickly snatched it away. After passing the thing in his hand, Mo Nanshun took the thing in Ji Guiran's hands before he had time to guard against it.

"Let me see, let me see..." Mo Nan studied the thing in his hand curiously. It looked like an iron key. Although Mo Nan had never seen such a key, it was indeed as long as the key. The painting Ji Tianze brought is exactly the same.

"Maybe it's it!" Mo Nan said happily, and waved his hand at Ji Guiran, chasing him away, "You've done the hard work, you can step down for the young master."

"..." Ji Guiran resisted the desire to beat him.

Mo Nan, who was dazzled by the joy of successfully cracking it, was too happy to be happy, and didn't care about Ji Guiran's gloomy face at all.While he was beaming with joy, he still didn't forget to say: "Huh? Why don't you leave yet."

"Are you itchy?"

"..."

Seeing that Ji Guiran really wanted to beat him up, Mo Nan didn't dare to be too arrogant, he restrained his smile a little, and then put his arm on him to please him: "Hey, what, I found out this key, right? Let's be happy together, right, let's try to open that door, and tell Tianze if we can open it?"

Now that this person has already persuaded him well, Ji Guiran's anger has also subsided a lot, he was noncommittal, Mo Nanquan regarded him as acquiescing, and pulled him towards the iron gate.

The iron door was not covered by the picture scroll, and it was just exposed, as if waiting for them to open it.

Mo Nan held the key in his hand, looking at the deep gap, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous. He was afraid that if the key didn't match it, wouldn't his happiness be in vain?When he was worried and afraid, Mo Nan inserted it without the first time.

"?" Ji Guiran next to him couldn't understand his hesitation, and urged him with his eyes.

"I see..." Mo Nan felt the impatience in his eyes, and said embarrassingly.

He carefully pinched one end of the key and stuffed it into the gap.Then what he worried about didn't happen

, the key went in smoothly without hindrance.

Mo Nan breathed a sigh of relief, he inserted the key straight into it and didn't dare to move it, and asked Ji Guiran, "Should I... turn it around?"

"kindness."

"Left or right?"

"……how could I know?"

"Why don't you try it?"

"..." Ji Guiran felt that there was something wrong with Mo Nan's muddled mind. He looked at Mo Nan's frightened expression, understood a little, and then sneered contemptuously.

"I... I'm not afraid, what are you laughing at?" Mo Nan said without 300 taels of silver here.

"What did I say?"

"..."

Resisting the urge to step on him, Mo Nan turned the key inside the plug and turned it easily without using much force. As he turned, there was a click sound from the gap, as if it was sealed with dust. The long door was finally opened.

"Open it, open it!" Mo Nan excitedly said, "Push it in?"

As he spoke, he planned to push the iron door open, but was stopped by Ji Guiran in the next second.

"Don't push it," Ji Guiran always felt that behind the iron gate is not a good scene, "tell him first."

"En... That's right." Mo Nan withdrew his hand, "Then close it first."

He turned the key in the opposite direction, and heard a click from inside, which seemed to be locked again. This strange sound made Mo Nan a little suspicious. He was afraid that the key could only be used once, and the iron door would not open again when it was closed. After opening it, he repeatedly turned it a few times, and after confirming that it could be used, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Mo Nan held the key in his hand, and followed Ji Guiran out of the study door one after the other, looking for Ji Tianze in the courtyard.

The yard itself wasn't that big, so they found it soon.However, to their surprise, Ji Tianze was sleeping soundly on a big rock in the courtyard.

Just how undisciplined is this person... who can fall asleep so casually... Mo Nan cursed.

He looked at Ji Tianze's sleeping soundly profile, and his saliva was about to drip down the corners of his mouth. He couldn't help but start to imagine what kind of expression this man would have when he knew the key had been found, whether he would be ecstatic, or Passed out with excitement.Thinking of this, Mo Nan couldn't help feeling dazed and forgot to wake him up for a while.

Before he came back to his senses, his face was slapped away. Facing a pair of dark eyes and Ji Guiran's impatient expression, he restrained Mo Nan and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"What are you doing?" Mo Nan was also annoyed, "I didn't look at you, why are you so excited?"

"..." Hearing this, Ji Guiran intensified his strength.

"It hurts! You want to kill people, let go!" Mo Nan felt that his face was about to be split into two pieces, and he grabbed Ji Guiran's hand and pushed it away, but no matter how hard he pushed, he couldn't move, so he kept yelling and cursing. .

Ji Guiran turned a deaf ear to his protests, but seeing that Mo Nan couldn't move, he tilted his head and bit his hand hard.

When the pain came, Ji Guiran let go of his hand subconsciously. Unexpectedly, Mo Nan took the opportunity to pursue the victory, and the hungry tiger rushed over and took another bite on his neck. Ji Guiran would not suffer again. He grabbed Mo Nan's back neck and killed him Pushing away, Mo Nan simply wrapped his hands around his neck, stuck to him firmly and refused to leave.

The two of them were confronting each other like this, but they didn't know that this movement had already awakened someone who was sleeping.

Ji Tianze half-sat and leaned against the stone, trying to keep his sleepy eyes open, muttered: "Why... I saw you have such a good relationship as soon as I opened my eyes... I must still be dreaming." He planned to fall back into sleep go back.

"Hey? Don't!" Only then did Mo Nan realize that something was urgent, he quickly let go of a certain prey in his hand, and shook Ji Tianze violently.

"...Huh?" He opened his eyes again.

"I found this in the painting," Mo Nan took out the key and stuffed it into his hand, "See if it's what you're looking for."

"..." Ji Tianze stared blankly at the key in his hand.

"How?" Mo Nan looked at him expectantly.

"……kindness."

"??" Mo Nan couldn't figure it out now, he was surprised that Ji Tianze's reaction was too small, he was ready to accept the dancing appearance of this person.

"Sure enough, I'm still sleeping." Ji Tianze casually threw the key into the haystack, and fell down again.

"..."

Mo Nan slapped him on the face bitterly, and the latter woke up with an ouch. Ji Tianze rubbed his face that hurt from the slap, and stayed there for a long time without moving.

"One more slap?" Mo Nan raised his hand and wanted to call out again.

Only then did Ji Tianze react. Before he had time to sit up straight, he threw himself into the haystack where the keys were thrown, and impatiently poked his hand in to search, and finally fished out the thrown key.

His eyes fell on his hands, the keys in the palm of his hand were soaked with sweat, and his hands were trembling slightly, his whole body looked like a dog with strong emotions that was about to erupt.

Of course, there was no outbreak as imagined, Ji Tianze just came back to his senses suddenly, without saying a word, he got up and ran staggeringly towards the study.

This is too exciting?Seeing this, Mo Nan followed up unconsciously, and Ji Guiran followed without saying a word.

When Mo Nan and Ji Guiran returned to the study room again, the first thing they saw was the fragmented picture scroll on the ground, and there was still a footprint on it, and then they saw Ji Tianze kneeling upright by the door, while the iron The door has been pulled open from inside, and I don't know how he did it.

Mo Nan looked at the dark passage behind the door, stepped forward curiously, and sighed: "You are quite efficient, I thought this door was to be pushed in... It's so dark behind here, why can't I see the end , this is really what you are going to..."

He wanted to continue talking, but after seeing Ji Tianze's current situation, his voice suddenly stopped.

I saw Ji Tianze lowered his head, his shoulders were trembling imperceptibly, his short bangs and black hair around his ears couldn't hide his current expression, a transparent liquid slid down his face, some still dripping Falling into the black frame in front of his eyes, it was retained by the objects in the frame, filling it and blending into one.

"..." When Mo Nan realized what was going on, he was immediately dumbfounded.

He was ready to accept Ji Tianze's various reactions, including holding him and dancing, screaming and cheering while hugging him, he even thought of somersaulting excitedly on the roof, but he didn't expect that this man would shed tears, The state of his crying in silence caught Mo Nan off guard, and he couldn't think of how to comfort him for a while.

Seeing Ji Tianze's tears fall more and more, his shoulders began to shrug and twitch obviously, his slightly heavy breathing seemed to be suppressing sobs, Mo Nan was anxious and pitiful, what he was most afraid of was others like this Mo Dong and Mo Xi used to cry by themselves in the corner sometimes, and when he found out, he would think of ways to comfort him, for example, he was racking his brains to say something now.

"You...don't cry," he organized his words in a panic, "shouldn't you, what, shouldn't you be happy? Eh? You can go home now? Be happy..."

"...Okay." Ji Tianze said in a hoarse voice, but lowered his head even lower, and the liquid dripped directly onto the ground.

"...Don't cry!" Mo Nan rubbed his hair, "A boy doesn't cry easily, what does it look like when he cries!"

Ji Guiran, who was silent beside him, heard the words and just wanted to ask what qualifications you have to say such a thing, but because of such a dignified atmosphere, he had no choice but to sneer in his heart.

Naturally, Mo Nan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said. He was anxiously thinking about how to make Ji Tianze stop crying, but Ji Tianze was not a child, so he couldn't just say that his brother would take you out to play. In desperation, he just Can keep patting Ji Tianze's back.

The space behind the door is so deep that there is no end in sight, and a strange breath gushes out from it, and even the air that comes with it makes people feel mysterious, as if it came from another sky far away and does not belong here every inch of land.

Mo Nan was really curious, but Ji Tianze didn't have the heart to explain it. He sobbed for a while before he stopped, and then he covered Mo Nan embarrassingly and clapped his hands.

"It's okay...Thank you...I just can't control it." He raised his eyes and smiled, his eyes were clouded by water vapor.

Mo Nan saw the joyful look on his face at the corners of his moist eyes, and couldn't help but jokingly said, "How old are you, it's so embarrassing to cry like a child when you're excited."

"This is true temperament! Where can I find such a good man," Ji Tianze said rascally, "Hurry up and follow me."

"It's a good idea." Mo Nan felt that this person could tell a joke, so there must be no problem.His eyes fell on the empty passage, and then he thought of something, and asked, "By the way, did you see anything when you opened the door?"

"What?...Oh, you mean that white snake?" Ji Tianze thought back, "...it seems not, maybe I was too excited when I drove it, maybe it slipped out."

"..."

Ji Tianze looked at the black lines all over his face, and hurriedly added: "Not necessarily, I think it is very likely to have slipped into the innermost part! Close it first!" After finishing speaking, he slammed the iron door shut, and then It didn't feel right, and he said in fear, "Wait, will it fail to open again?"

Sure enough, he is not the only one who is suspicious, Mo Nan thought.In order to dispel Ji Tianze's doubts, he said, "No, I tried."

"Oh...it's not just a one-off..." Ji Tianze breathed a sigh of relief, "Then lock it up first, maybe it's inside, to prevent it from getting out, eh!"

Seeing that Ji Tianze quickly locked the iron gate, Mo Nan was puzzled and asked, "Aren't you going back?"

"Of course I have to go back! I really want to leave right now... But my moral conscience stops me. I have to pack my luggage... Actually there is nothing to fix. Oh yes, I'll go I should have cleaned up the hygiene of the house before, and Brother He, alas, when will Brother He come back..."

Ji Tianze mulled over some plans to himself, his face was joyful and worried for a while, whether it was exciting or not.Mo Nan couldn't help but comfort him: "Don't worry, take your time, anyway, sooner or later you can go back."

Hearing this, Ji Tianze stopped, raised his eyes to look at him, and smiled gratefully on his face, then pulled Mo Nan into his arms, and murmured in his ear: "...Thank you."

"..." Mo Nan felt the warm breath brushing against his ear, and he felt a little embarrassed immediately.

Just when he thought he was hugging Ji Tianze for a few seconds and was about to push Ji Tianze away, he let go of himself first, and added in one direction by the way: "It's just a thank you, a thank you...so don't be so resentful." Staring at me?! I didn't do anything!"

"?"

"Hey, let's go, I'm going to clean up." He waved his hand.

As he said, after a period of time, Ji Tianze changed his usual idleness and began to clean up the things in the house seriously. After the last search, the whole house was almost cleaned up, so it didn't take much effort to clean it up. .

However, the house was cleaned up, but the owner of the house has not returned yet.They stayed in Xihe Village for several days, but still did not see He Jing coming back, and Mo Nan began to suspect that he was lost.

One day, he saw Ji Tianze stuffing some weird things into a black package, so he couldn't help asking curiously: "What are these?"

"These are all the luggage I accidentally brought over during my travels," Ji Tianze replied while packing, "Actually, it's been a long time, and many of them are worn out, but I think I'd better bring them back first... so as not to stay here Thousands of years later, it will be another unsolved mystery of the world, and I will be very embarrassed when I see it.”

"……Oh."

"By the way," he thought of something, "Did Brother He tell you the specific time to come back?"

Mo Nan shook his head: "No."

"That's troublesome... If the master doesn't come back, I'll leave first, isn't it rude?"

"Yes, it's really rude." Mo Nan nodded, and then reminded him, "But you can go back first, and come back after a while to see if Brother He is there. Anyway...it should be convenient to come and go? Look around It's pretty close up."

Ji Tianze almost said "near fart". After swallowing these three words, he said reluctantly, "I think... this method is very nonsense."

"what?"

"It's nothing, forget it, I'll wait a few more days."

Mo Nan saw that he was talking about waiting, but in fact he was very excited, the dark circles under his eyelids were thick, and it looked like he had not slept well for several days, and he felt that as soon as Ji Tianze left the strings, he would disappear in a flash .

"Actually...you don't have to wait so dryly," he suggested, "You can just leave a letter like Brother He, probably."

Mo Nan's words awakened someone in his dream. Ji Tianze suddenly punched his fist in the palm of his hand, and said happily, "That's right!! Why didn't I think of that!"

That's because you're stupid... He endured it and didn't say anything.

"I'll start writing now," Ji Tianze opened the bag again, and said while taking something out of it, "By the way, Amo, can you find an envelope for me?"

"Yes, yes...but don't you go to the study? Don't you need pen and ink?"

"Forget about that kind of thing. I'm not very good at writing with a brush, and it's the same with writing with a water pen."

"Oh..." Mo Nan went to the study to help him find the envelope, feeling a little confused about what the fountain pen he was talking about was.

When he found it and came back, Ji Tianze had already found a stool and was writing on it. He was holding an unknown pen in his hand, and Mo Nan had never seen the posture of holding the pen.

Mo Nan's attention fell on the words he wrote. He wrote very fast, and the handwriting he wrote had an indescribably chic charm compared to ordinary people.

Although Ji Tianze writes quickly, he often pauses while writing, and then falls into contemplation, thinking for a while before continuing to write.He could still hear his intermittent complaints: "Oh, this wording...it's really hard to imagine..."

After bumping and bumping to finish, he casually stuffed the paper into the envelope, and wrote He Jing's name on the cover.

"Should he see it on the table in the living room?"

"kindness."

"Hey hey, that's good, I can go!" Ji Tianze threw the pen into the bag, and suddenly his eyes seemed to catch something, and he shouted with a flash of inspiration, "That's right, right, before I leave Give you something."

"what?"

"That's it." Ji Tianze took out a bunch of objects from his bag and put them in Mo Nan's hands.

Mo Nan looked at the thing in his hand. It was a spherical pendant with a transparent outer layer, which had the same hard texture as a cup. What attracted his attention even more was that there was a cherry blossom that was about to bloom inside. The faint pink color seemed familiar. , the light shines on the transparent layer and reflects light, adding a bit of vitality to the flowers in it.
