Chapter 9 Jiangdu Moonlight Night

The three of them went back to Huamanlou together, Ding Yin handed the unconscious Xiaocui to the guards, went to the backyard wing room, saw Ouyang Shaogong and Bai Zihua sitting in the room drinking tea, walked over and sat beside Ouyang Shaogong.

"Junior brother, you came just in time." Shaogong handed him a cup of tea, "I discussed it with senior brother, and I'm afraid he won't let it go if I offended Mr. Su tonight. I'll just stay in Huamanlou. I am causing trouble for Jinniang and the others, so I want to move in and live with you, what do you think?"

Ouyang Shaogong thought that Ding Yin would be happy, but Ding Yin pursed his lips and remained silent for a while before saying in a deep voice: "Eldest brother doesn't like living with other people." His tone was full of refusal.

Both Ouyang Shaogong and Bai Zihua were taken aback for a moment, and then Ouyang Shaogong said in a cool tone: "Shaogong has been traveling for three years, although he is not considered rich, he can still afford the money to stay in the inn, so he won't disturb the elder brother." of."

But Bai Zihua shook his head and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you live with me."

But Shaogong was very stubborn: "Senior brother, you don't need to persuade me. I didn't have this plan at all, and now I don't have any." He glanced at Ding Yin, and saw that he looked sad with lowered eyebrows. His attitude softened a bit after cooling down. "Please also ask the senior brother and the junior brother to go out and wait for me for a while, and I will pack my things."

Bai Zihua nodded, and went outside with Ding Yin to wait for him.The two didn't wait long before Shao Gong packed up his things and came out.Shaogong and Bai Zihua Ding Yin went to bid farewell to Jinniang together. Jinniang repeatedly said that Shaogong would not cause her trouble in Huamanlou, and wanted him to stay, but Shaogong insisted on leaving, Jinniang had no choice , had to agree.

When the three came to the inn, Bai Zihua expressed his willingness to share a room with Shaogong, he didn't mind, but Shaogong just smiled and opened a new room.Although Ding Yin didn't mention it again, Ouyang Shaogong felt that Ding Yin didn't want him to live with Bai Zihua.For the sake of convenience, Shao Gong didn't plan to open the room again, but he also cared about this little junior, so he had to do something to make him happy.

It was dark when the three of them returned to their rooms, but Shao Gong didn't feel much sleepiness. Seeing the bright moonlight outside the window, he walked out of the room and came to the backyard of the inn.There is a pond in the backyard of the inn. It is midsummer and June at this time, and the pond is full of lotus flowers, which is very beautiful.

Shaogong came to the small pavilion by the pond, took out the qin and played it, not long after, there was a clear whistle, which merged with the sound of the qin, entangled and entwined.Shao Gong was surprised, turned his head to look, and saw Ding Yin folded his hands on his lips, and the jade whistle in his hand was sticking to his lips, making a long tone as the master played.

Ding Yin noticed his gaze and looked back.His eyes were deep, carrying emotions that Shao Gong couldn't see clearly.The two of them didn't look away for a moment. During this long and short stare at each other, it seemed that some unknown emotion was quietly growing in their hearts.

Ding Yin didn't know what Shaogong was thinking, and was still a little uneasy. When the song was over, he took a leap, flew over the blossoming lotus, and landed in front of Shaogong.

"I didn't expect you to remember this piece of music." Shaogong said in a relieved tone, with some unexpected joy.

"In the three years since you left, I always played this song when I was alone in the back mountain." Ding Yin replied, after a moment of silence, he couldn't help asking, "...are you angry tonight, senior brother? "

"No, how could I be angry with Junior Brother?" Shao Gong said with a smile, but his tone was a bit subtle.Ding Yin lowered his head, and then showed a smile, but Shao Gong saw the element of reluctance in this smile.

"Little brother, I didn't have time to ask before, but now I want to know, how have you been doing these past few years?" Shao Gong looked at Ding Yin with concern and asked.Ding Yin thought for a while and replied, "Senior Brother and I are fine. I have already started to go down the mountain alone to eliminate demons. Senior Brother's cultivation has also improved a lot, but nothing else has changed."

Shao Gong glanced at him and said, "I think you've changed a lot, and you're a bit like a big brother." You're not as lively and playful as before.

When Ding Yin heard this, he just smiled and was noncommittal.He walked over and sat down next to Shaogong. Shaogong's eyes fell on the jade whistle in his hand, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this the one I gave you?"

Ding Yin nodded, stretched out his palm, and Shao Gong picked up the jade whistle, put it to his lips and blew it lightly, then put it back. "Why don't you give it a name." Ding Yin said.He looked at the jade whistle lying in the palm of his hand, and felt the heat rise on his face. Fortunately, the bright moon was already hidden in the clouds and mist, and his face could not be seen clearly under the night light.

"Then... how about calling it 'Yun Yin'?" Shao Gong asked, Ding Yin naturally had no objection, he nodded silently, and put the whistle into his arms.

The two sat for a while, until the moon came out of the clouds again, and then went back to their rooms to rest.Ding Yin was lying on the bed, and the Changliu disciple next to him had already fallen asleep, snoring loudly, Ding Yin's eyes were wide open, his gaze was straight, and he couldn't fall asleep at all.And the snoring didn't mean to stop, on the contrary, it got louder and louder.

After a while, Ding Yin finally couldn't take it anymore, and planned to go out and find a place to make do for the night.When passing by the door of Shaogong's room, he was surprised to find that there was still a light on inside.Ding Yin was curious for a moment, and put his ear to the door to hear what was going on inside, but he heard nothing.Just when Ding Yin was a little disappointed and decided to leave, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.

"Who?" Shao Gong stood at the door, looking at the person standing at the door in astonishment, "Little brother?"

"Brother." Ding Yin quickly stood up, feeling guilty of being caught after eavesdropping, scratching his ears and said, "I feel a little hungry, I want to see what to eat, and I happened to pass by the door of senior brother , I want to ask my brother if he wants to eat."

"Junior brother just passed by my room door?" Ouyang Shaogong asked, smiling with some ambiguous meaning, Ding Yin didn't have time to tell, nodded hastily.Then Ouyang Shaogong continued, "But if I remember correctly, the kitchen is on the other side."

"I... I don't know the way!" Ding Yin raised his head, and saw Ouyang Shaogong looking at him with a look of "I see how long you're going to make it up". Knowing that he couldn't be fooled, he could only tell the truth said it.

"So that's how it is." Ouyang Shaogong understood, looking at Ding Yin's aggrieved eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed, and said, "If you don't mind, junior brother, why don't you come and sleep in my room." After speaking, Ding Yin was stunned He just stood there, motionless.

"It's fine if Junior Brother doesn't want to." Ouyang Shaogong said, gesturing to close the door, but was supported by Ding Yin, looking at him with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "Shaogong closed the door, where should I sleep tonight? "

"In this kind of weather, I don't have to worry about catching a cold when I sleep on the street, it's very convenient." Shao Gong said so, but his body moved aside to let Ding Yin enter.

Ding Yin entered the room, his eyes drifted away, his eyes looked around but couldn't find anything, just like a young man entering a girl's boudoir for the first time.Looking at his appearance, Shaogong felt a little funny, took his hand and walked towards the bed. "Aren't you going to sleep? Why don't you go up?"

Hearing what Shaogong said, Ding Yin quickly took off his coat, got into the quilt, only his head was exposed, and his eyes were fixed on him.Shao Gong didn't think much about it, he was planning to turn off the lights and go to bed, but when he noticed someone outside the door, he kept his composure, just waiting for that person to move, but seeing that the person didn't respond for a long time, he had to go out to check, but unexpectedly stood It was Ding Yin outside the door.

Because I had been concentrating before, waiting for the reaction of the "uninvited guest" outside the door, now that I relax, I feel even more tired.So Ouyang Shaogong also took off his coat, lifted a corner of the quilt, lay down in it, and fell asleep not long after.

Ding Yin was lying on the bed, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. He lay beside Shaogong, and he could smell Shaogong's body, the faint medicinal fragrance, which was very nice.Ding Yin heard Shaogong's breathing gradually became even, and knew that Shaogong had fallen asleep.He tilted his head, just facing Shang Shaogong's sleeping face, calm and gentle, just like that person's usual gentleness, but with a sense of vulnerability added.

Ding Yin looked at the face in front of him, stretched out his hand to touch it, but retracted slowly when his fingertips were about to touch him.He was afraid that it would disturb him and disturb his dreams.

But immediately, Ding Yin realized that Shao Gong's dream at this time was not so beautiful.His expression was painful, his body was trembling slightly, fine beads of sweat kept coming out of his forehead, he was muttering something to himself, Ding Yin leaned over to listen, and barely heard a sentence, Shao Gong was saying: " I'm not a monster."

"Shao Gong." Ding Yin called softly, but the other party did not respond.Ding Yin was anxious, and couldn't help reaching out to grab Shao Gong's hand. The warmth brought by the palm-to-palm contact seemed to bring some comfort to Shao Gong, making him hold Ding Yin's hand tightly with his backhand.

Loneliness and sadness passed along the palm of his hand, which made Ding Yin feel like crying.Ding Yin suddenly discovered that after two years of acquaintance, he actually didn't know Shaogong well, otherwise why had he never discovered the pain in Shaogong's heart?Even until now, he knew nothing about the source of Shao Gong's pain, he didn't know Shao Gong's past, because that person never told him.

Shao Gong is a gentle and lonely person, but he never exposes his weak side to everyone, so outsiders can only see his gentleness, but not his loneliness.Shao Gong clearly cultivated the way of medicine, but his magic skills were better than him, probably because, in this case, even if a person faced danger alone, he could handle it well.

Ding Yin wanted to reach out and hug Shaogong, but found that Shaogong gradually calmed down at this time, presumably the nightmare has passed.Ding Yin thought for a while, but in the end he didn't make much movement, but tightly grasped the palm of his hand.

Ding Yin thought, he didn't know about Shaogong's past, but he would be with Shaogong in the future.He has already made up his mind that when the matter is over, he will not return to Changliu, and will go to see the world with this person.He wants to stay by Shaogong's side, he feels that this is his home, compared to staying in the cold for a long time.

The author has something to say: In the future, the update time will be adjusted to [-]:[-] pm, so that it is convenient to make some adjustments.

Bai Zihua: "Junior brother, you can live with me, I don't mind."

Blood Demon Yin (turning the table): "I mind!"

Ding Yin's roommate Jun: "Hululu! Hululu!"

Ding Yin: "..." What should I do if I want to kill him?

Half an hour later, Ding Yin was lying in Shaogong's room: Actually, it would be nice to have a roommate like that
