Into Liaozhai and falling in love

People in the village will be buried here after they die. Yan Chixia worked hard and quickly dug a hole. Ning Caichen did the rest of the delicate work of burying and erecting tombstones.

On a simple wooden sign, Nie Xiaoqian's name was written in Chinese calligraphy.Standing in front of this newly bulging small mound, Ning Caichen bent his knees and was about to kneel down.

Lu Qian grabbed him in time and raised his face to look at his puzzled eyes.

"..." Looking at the small graveyard, Lu Qian pursed his lips: "No need to pray."

Ning Caichen: "How can this be, even—even—" He was embarrassed for a moment, but still said, "The dead are the greatest."

The deceased is still happy and happy now, but he is the one who is suffering now, let alone goodbye, Lu Qian was angry and didn't want to bury Nie Xiaoqian, he frowned and didn't want to explain, just repeated blindly: "No."

Yan Chixia stood aside silently observing the expression on Lu Qian's face who was talking to Ning Caichen, frowning slightly.

Ning Caichen didn't want to break up with him, thinking it was some new scruples, so he hurriedly changed the subject to cover up his stupid actions: "Xiaoqian, then wait here for a while, when I came here just now, I saw There are fruits in the book, or I'll pick two." He scratched his head, "Otherwise we won't be fragrant, and it's a bit out of order."

This child is on Nie Xiaoqian's grave, right? Lu Qian squinted his eyes: "No need, let's go early before dawn."

Ning Caichen thought he was troublesome, and immediately became anxious: "How can you be so hasty, it only takes a short while, Xiaoqian—"

Since they called each other names last night, Ning Caichen kept calling Xiaoqian Xiaoqian early in the morning, which made Lu Qian's goosebumps rise, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only agree.At this time, his impatience became more obvious: "It's really not necessary, it is not necessary."

Ning Caichen looked at his gloomy face, and seemed to be reluctantly looking at the tombstone behind him.

Although it was the same person, he should obviously come in front of someone who can talk, so Ning Caichen immediately nodded like a dog: "Okay, since we have to hurry, we can only go first."

Lu Qian: "..."

Yan Chixia stood behind her, staring at Lu Qian without even looking at the tombstone. She turned around and glanced at the three big characters flying like dragons and phoenixes, her eyes changing slightly.

It's Nie Xiaoqian's name, but Nie Xiaoqian is just a code name, isn't it?

Yan Chixia's eyebrows twitched, thinking of her own.

Ning Caichen's home is not far away, and he only needs to climb a mountain to get there.

Along the way, Lu Qian walked lazily, hanging on Yan Chixia's neck without hesitation, and sometimes even looked at Ning Caichen's reaction meaningfully, meeting the lonely and injured eyes of the other party, Lu Qian There is no way to dive.

after all--

He still doesn't want to repay his kindness with a promise of his body, and naturally he doesn't want Ning Caichen to have other emotions towards him. It would be great if he could kill him in the cradle as soon as possible.

pity--

Ning Caichen seems to have a common problem among literati. Instead of being sluggish, he became more and more courageous. Along the way, he created opportunities if he had no chance, just to have a few words with Lu Qian.

Carrying a book basket on his back, he followed Yan Chixia obliquely, and asked with concern: "Is Xiaoqian tired? The sun is shining brightly at noon, don't you really need to rest for a while?"

Lu Qian explained countless times that he didn't need to avoid the sun, but he took a look at him because he tried his best to keep up with the sweat on Yan Chixia's forehead, poked Yan Chixia's shoulder and asked with a smile on his face: "Are you tired?" Not tired, shall we rest for a while and eat something before leaving?"

At first, he wanted to say that he could continue walking, but when he looked at Lu Qian who was winking at him and kept signaling to him, and looked back at Ning Caichen, who obviously couldn't hold on anymore, he nodded.

As expected of facial paralysis, I have cared enough for Ning Caichen along the way, if this continues, sooner or later I will be misunderstood, let this good man do it.

Ning Caichen exhaled, his body was almost beyond the limit, but he never took the initiative to take a rest, he didn't want to hold back.

Lu Qian pressed close to Yan Chixia's side, taking the time to say casually: "Next time, if you are tired, just say so."

Ning Caichen immediately shook his head: "I'm fine, but—" Hesitating for a moment, he hesitated to speak.

"..." After holding back, but still not holding back, Lu Qian asked, "What's wrong with you? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, tell me as soon as possible. Don't delay the trip. It would be better to arrive before dark."

"It's nothing, but Xiaoqian, you just said that you have to hurry. In fact, my house is very close to here, only half a day's journey away. Does Xiaoqian have other things to do?" After asking, Ning Caichen waved his hands in a panic, "Actually I'm just asking casually, if it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

After all, Xiaoqian has been trapped in that ancient temple for so many years, and she must have a lot of things she wants to do after she is finally free.

Lu Qian and Yan Chixia looked at each other and shook their heads: "It's nothing important, I just want to find a place to live when I get here."

"Why are you looking for a place!" Before the voice fell, seeing Lu Qian stepping back two steps in fright and staring at him with wide eyes, Ning Caichen realized that he was over-excited, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Xiaosheng's house still has a few vacant rooms, if Brother Yan and Xiaoqian don't dislike it..." He raised his face carefully to look at Lu Qian, for fear that what he said wrong would arouse the other party's resentment.

"Thank you, but no need." Seeing the familiar loneliness on Ning Caichen's face, Lu Qian didn't feel as guilty as he did at first.

He just explained lightly, "Don't think too much about it, even if you don't dislike me, but I'm a ghost after all, and it's not suitable to live in your house." He pursed his lips, bared his teeth and said deliberately, "My Ghost aura will bring people around, young and middle-aged people like you don’t have much influence, but—the elderly, women and children must be kept away. I know there is an old mother and your sick wife in your family, I am absolutely Can't come to your house."

Hearing his wife from his mouth, Ning Caichen's complexion changed drastically. He knew that Nie Xiaoqian knew everything about him, but he had completely forgotten about his wife before.

It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but when he was suddenly brought up, Ning Tread's face turned pale, and he felt a faint sense of guilt from the bottom of his heart. He didn't dare to speak and could only keep secretly looking at Lu Qian's face with his eyes.Not aware of any other emotions in him at all, he exhaled without a trace, relaxed but sad.

He didn't ask himself about his wife because he didn't care.

Although Ning Caichen knew the answer a long time ago, he was attracted uncontrollably.

Ning Caichen quietly looked at Lu Qian who was talking and laughing with Yan Chixia not far away from the corner of his eye, and the depression and boredom in his heart dissipated in an instant.

Since the fate says that Nie Xiaoqian is her noble person, doesn't that just prove that the two are destined to each other? Since there is a destiny, even if there is no mutual understanding, it can only be that the time has not come.

Ning Caichen nodded heavily, yes, Xiaoqian will naturally...

Ten years of cold window, once in high school.No matter what it is, isn't it all done with sincerity, and gold and stone are the best.As long as he shows his sincerity, the two of them will definitely achieve a positive result in the end.

When preparing to eat dry food, Yan Chixia went out to find water, while Lu Qian leaned under a big tree and played with the grass boredly.Seeing this, Ning Caichen dawdled over.

Lu Qian raised his face to meet his focused gaze, his whole body was numb. In the past two days, Ning Caichen has been talking to himself consciously or unconsciously, which is a bit annoying, but after all, he can't be too obvious when he has just helped him, so he can only be stubborn. Scalp: "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Ning Caichen shook his head, but he didn't seem to be okay at all, his eyes were fixed on Lu Qian, and his mouth opened and closed clearly wanted to say something.

Lu Qian glanced around. Yan Chixia hadn't come back yet. He was afraid that Ning Caichen would choose this time to tell him something personal, so he held back and didn't ask.

But - after a long while, he finally couldn't bear Ning Caichen's sticky eyes, took a deep breath and turned his face away, grinning reluctantly: "Do you have something to ask me?"

Ning Caichen lowered his head slightly, a gloomy look flashed across his face, and he immediately lifted it up, pretending to be relaxed: "It's nothing serious." Before Lu Qian opened his mouth, his eyes fell on the big tree not far away, and his voice Added a little dull, "I just want to ask what is the relationship between you and Brother Yan?"

This is not the first time this question has been asked, but when I think about it carefully, the other party didn't seem to give a definite answer at all last time.If he didn't figure it out thoroughly, Ning Caichen felt that he would not be reconciled.

Seeing the expression on his face that broke the casserole and asked the end, Lu Qian rolled his eyes, and with a strong hand, a green weed rose up: "Didn't I say last time that I saved him when he was a child?"

Yes, that's it. He had always thought that the relationship between the two was an elder and a younger generation, but after getting along day and night, he found that it was not like this at all.

Lu Qian squinted his eyes, with a gentle smile on his face: "Before I met him, I had been living together with a group of ghosts in that ancient temple. The gloomy and cold is the whole of my life. Although I haven't harmed anyone, but I have witnessed hundreds of murders, and every moment I see the bloody red and the pungent rust smell." Mentioning these, Lu Qian's emotions were also aroused, and his face was three parts real and seven parts fake He sighed helplessly, "Fortunately, I met him."

His eyes were full of rejoicing and joy, "In order to save him, I almost lost a quarter of my life. I was still free at that time. In order to repay me, I moved to live with him."

The smile on Lu Qian's face was clean and beautiful, with a longing for future life: "You should be able to guess it later, I told him my identity and the reason why I still linger in the world and cannot leave. After learning that I need to repay your kindness, I took the initiative to ask to accompany me."

There was distress in his tone: "But he is relatively slow, and I have never told him my true thoughts, so..." He made a rare childish gesture of please to Ning Caichen, "So I told you last time. By the way, this is a secret between the two of us, and I will tell him when the time is right."

The time is right?The time will never be ripe!

You have nothing to do with each other.

Ning Ci's dark eyes flashed a little struggle, and finally he agreed first: "Okay, I will keep it secret for you."

After staring into his eyes for a while, the scholar concealed his emotions very well almost instantly, and even Lu Qian began to doubt whether his judgment that he still gave up on himself was correct.

Ning Caichen should not be so ignorant and interesting. In the original text, Nie Xiaoqian got rid of the shackles of the Yasha in the ancient temple, and it was difficult to adapt to the new life for a while, so she could only rely on Ning Caichen subconsciously.

For beautiful women, Ning Caichen would take the initiative to refuse for no reason.

But he is different. Ning Caichen knows that he has someone he likes, and he knows that he is purely for the task, so he should not have any other unreasonable thoughts.

Lu Qian analyzed Ning Caichen's mentality with the thinking of a normal person, and felt that it should be like this.

That's actually simple, take off the tinted glasses, treat him as an ordinary friend, and it is unambiguous that he should talk and help.

Lu Qian has never made friends, and he doesn't even play games or watch dramas online, so he can only guess what he should do in this situation.He nodded, expressing his affirmation to himself, and ended the self-release of thoughts.

Lu Qian turned his gaze away, poked at the messy grass on the ground, and said perfunctorily without raising his head, "Then thank you first."

The expression on Ning Caichen's face remained unchanged. As soon as he stood up, he found Yan Chixia coming back from fetching water, and immediately ran to help, and he didn't deliberately show his presence in front of Lu Qian as before.

Yan Chixia had already seen the scene of the two having a happy conversation in the distance, and took another look at the scene where she was still squatting there completely ignoring herself. She didn't even get tired of Lu Qian who came up immediately, and handed the water bag in her hand to Ning Cai Chen took the initiative to sit on the hand.

Feeling the familiar scent enveloping him, Lu Qian leaned directly on Yan Chixia's shoulder without raising his eyes, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Yan Chixia thought for a while, then tilted her head to look at the little hair spinner on top of his head, and wanted to ask something, but seeing the thoughtful expression on his face and the slight frown between his brows, it didn't bother him any more.

Not far away, Ning Caichen, who was raising his head and pretending to drink water, kept his eyes on the two people who were interacting closely, looking at Yan Chixia with naked envy.
