Jia Mo

Fu Lan sweeps the floor, Qi Yin grasps the lamp talisman and gropes all over the 99 steps, even the cracks in the stone bricks and vines and grass in the corners, and finally finds the lilac ring at the bottom of the steps.The fingernails are as big and golden.Qi Yin wiped it clean and put it in the palm of his hand, only then did he realize that since he was belittled by Fulan, he never thought of Xiaolan Xian'er.He suddenly felt that he was very frivolous. He obviously liked him, but he didn't take him seriously.

Qi Yin said sorry, and carefully put the clove ring into her purse.

Early in the morning, Qi Yin was dressed like a dog, even her hair was neatly brushed, and she specially waited on the mountain road.Lan Xian'er walked towards her, still wearing a plain floral shirt and homemade skirt, with the scent of orchids on her body, Qi Yin stood beside her, feeling light all over.

"Sang Ruo said that my lilac ring is with you." Lan Xian'er said.

"Ah, yes." Qi Yin frantically took out her purse, took out the clove ring clumsily, squeezed it into her palm with both hands.

"Thank you." Lan Xian'er smiled.

Her smile was light and faint, facing the morning sun, as if it was transparent.Qi Yin was stunned, blushed, said no in a low voice, and walked slowly along the mountain path beside her.The gravel road is winding, with tangled weeds planted on both sides.Qi Yin looked back at the footprints of the two people side by side, feeling a little unreal in a daze.

"Is that your forbidden area over there?" Lan Xian'er pointed to the opposite mountain and asked.

"Well," Qi Yin said, "You can't go to that place, there are many big monsters in it."

Lan Xian'er stuck out her tongue, "Monsters must be scary, right? I heard that they are all ugly, and they like to eat people, one is worse than the other. Thanks to you sword fairy, we can kill them all, so we can eat them all." Have a good time."

Qi Yin was stunned for a moment, thinking of Fulan, the dead fat cat who yelled about revival monsters all day long but was lazy, and the big white wolf that was lying on the bottom of Siguo Cliff and growing mushrooms, scratched his head and said, "You can't say that."

Lan Xian'er was taken aback, then turned to look at him and said, "Oh?"

"A monster is actually similar to a human being. Some are smart, some are stupid, some are sinister..." Fu Lan's dumbfounded appearance appeared in front of his eyes again, and Qi Yin smiled, "Some are dumb. Some are demons." If we don’t eat people, it’s like some people are vegetarians and don’t eat meat. As for whether we are beautiful or not, we don’t look very good-looking in their eyes.” He smiled at Lan Xian’er, “If You are a pig, and you must also like a white and fat pig like you."

Lan Xian'er looked at him for a while, then turned her head and hummed, "You are the pig."

Qi Yin blushed, and suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that. I mean, even if you are a pig, you are the most beautiful pig."

Lan Xian: "..."

Qi Yin covered her face, wishing she could cut her tongue, what the hell was he talking about?

"But you still want to lock them here." Lan Xian'er kicked the stone under her feet.

"There's no way, they cannibalize people, so why not let them eat them all?" Qi Yin said.

Lan Xian'er didn't speak any more, and the two walked forward silently.Qi Yin felt a little uneasy, he really couldn't speak, he didn't know how to make the girl laugh.But there's no one in the family to ask for advice, Fat Cat only knows how to eat, and Dude is even more stupefied than him.The two of them walked for a while, and Qi Yin thought about talking to her: "The fat aunt in the raw medicine shop said she didn't know you, are you new here?"

"Ah."

"Are you following your parents?"

Lan Xian'er shook her head, "My father won the first prize and married a rich lady, so I don't want my mother anymore."

Qi Yin was startled, and wanted to comfort Lan Xian'er, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of anything good to say, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and finally said: "Is your life okay? If you need anything on weekdays, you can come to the mountain Ask us for help."

"My mother killed my father in a fit of rage and was taken into the prison." Lan Xian'er looked up at him, "I've been locked up for many years, she must have died."

When she said this, her expression was indifferent, as if all the bitter memories were light and weightless.Lan Xian'er lowered her head again, bouncing and walking in front of Qi Yin, picking small wild flowers on the side of the road as she walked, and pinning them between Hei Crow's temples.

Qi Yin didn't say anything else, and followed her silently, the faint fragrance of orchids floated over, wrapping around his sleeves.

"Hey, Senior Brother Yunyin," Lan Xian'er suddenly turned around and walked backwards, "Do you like me?"

A word rang in his ears like thunder, and Qi Yin was full of blood rushing to his face, staring at her in a daze, unable to say a word.

Seeing his appearance, Lan Xian'er covered her mouth, giggled, and asked, "If I were a monster, would you still like me?"

Qi Yin actually knows how to answer, girls like to ask this question, if I become ugly, will you still like me?Will you still like me if I get fat?They just want to hear: Even if you are ugly and fat enough to crush ten elephants to death, I will still love you as before.But the problem is that Qi Yin doesn't like monsters, he likes mortals like him, female, it's better to be beautiful, gentle, gentle and able to weave and cook.Qi Yin struggled for a while, but couldn't tell a lie, and finally said discouragedly: "No..."

Lan Xian'er groaned, and said, "I knew it."

"But it's the same as I don't like men," Qi Yin said in embarrassment, "I can be friends with monsters and brothers with men, but I won't like them and marry them."

Lan Xian'er tilted her head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly laughed, stood on tiptoe, and patted his head, "Senior brother Yunyin, you are a good person. When I asked people this before, they all said that if I eat Anyone who doesn't spit out their bones is willing to be with me."

Qi Yin was taken aback by her, Lan Xian'er took a few steps back, and stood under the sky with her hands behind her back, something changed silently, the girl's shallow smile seemed to brighten up a little bit under the sunlight.

Lan Xian'er tilted her head and smiled, "Thank you for helping me find Lilac Ring, it is very important to me."

"You're welcome, it's easy." Qi Yin said shyly.

"Brother Yunzhi gave it to me. I like it very much. Who would have thought that it would be lost yesterday. I was so anxious." Lan Xian'er brushed her hair and smiled at him, "Fortunately, you found it for me."

Qi Yin didn't turn the corner in his head, and froze on the spot.

Brother Yunzhi sent it? ……What's the meaning?

"Look, Brother Yunzhi has come to pick me up from the mountain." Lan Xian'er set up the awning with her hands and looked into the distance.

As soon as the words fell, a cold sword light came in an instant. Yun Zhi sat cross-legged on the sword, and touched the top of Lan Xian'er's head with a smile.Lan Xian'er put the sword on her side familiarly, put the back basket on her lap, and waved at Qi Yin, "Senior Brother Yun Yin, let's go first! Thank you for liking me, but I don't like Hei Zai. "

Qi Yin's mind went blank, and he just froze in place.

The two disappeared in a flash, and disappeared at the end of the mountain road.Qi Yin was in a daze, as if he had returned to Wutang Town in a daze. That evening, when he saw Fengxian leaning on the arms of his old boss, something in his heart shattered silently and little by little.He slumped his shoulders, lowered his head, and kicked the stones all the way, feeling depressed, not knowing where he was going, like a stray dog ​​who had lost his home.

What, it turned out they were all playing tricks on him.This girl is really bad, is it interesting to play him like this?Or do you think he looks more fun than others with a disheveled face and a thick head?But I can't blame her, after all, he bumped into it by himself, and they didn't let him pick up the lilac ring, and they didn't let him like her.

When I reached the end of the road and looked up, I realized that I had walked back to the tile house after walking blindly all the way.Fu Lan sat under the wide water eaves weaving bamboo baskets, the sun shone on his fair side face, and the contours around him were soft, shrouded in the hazy light.The black cat lay at his feet spreading its soft belly to bask in the sun, its eyes narrowed.

Qi Yin dejectedly moved a piece of bamboo, and sat next to Fulan.There was bitterness in his nose, and Qi Yin lowered his head. He remembered the first time he cooked vegetables at Yao's house. At the age of 12, he was not much taller than the stove, and the spoon was as long as his arm.After finally frying a dish and carefully holding it on the table, my aunt held a piece of meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, chewed it twice and spit it out, saying: "Prodigal stuff, what are you frying, are you trying to poison me to death?" ?”

He wanted to say that he tried his best, but he accidentally burned his hands when he turned the pot over, causing a few big blisters, which were painful.But he didn't say anything, just lowered his head with his hands behind his back, and rubbed the ground with his toes without saying a word.Never mind, he told himself, it doesn't matter.

He also said to himself now, forget it, it doesn't matter.

No one likes it, and it doesn't matter.

Turning his head to look at Fulan, this guy was weaving the basket wholeheartedly, a small bamboo basket gradually took shape in his hands.Qi Yin lowered his head and asked, "Brother Dumb, can you still weave baskets?"

Fu Lan nodded, "Afu taught me."

Qi Yin was silent for a while, then asked: "Brother Dumb, do you like my mother very much?"

"Yes," Fu Lan said, "I like it very much."

Qi Yin opened her mouth, and wanted to ask Fu Lan if she knew why his mother left.Looking sideways, the quiet man is weaving a basket with his head down, bamboo strips are entwined between his pale fingers, there is no joy, joy or anger on his face, his eyes are pale and calm, so pure, like a vast mist.

Qi Yin grabbed the grass stem and asked: "Brother Dumb, when my mother lived with you, did she provoke any enemies? Or did the demon have any relatives who came to seek revenge?"

Fu Lan shook her head in confusion.

The black cat yawned and said, "After Zhang Luohuai died, Wujiang was very peaceful. Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"It's nothing, just ask." Qi Yin suddenly didn't want to ask anything anymore, he patted Fu Lan's shoulder, and said, "Brother, if you can't marry a wife, why don't we get along together. No one likes the two hard-working brothers, and it's fine to be a bachelor, and one doesn't have to marry a wife."

Fu Lan was stunned, and nodded vigorously, "Okay."
