Guanqingzhai

At that time, Hu Yue traveled all over the world, but there was no place where he could stay for a long time.Because he can't age and die, so in order not to let others know that he is a monster, he can only keep moving like this.Hu Yue, who was alone, gradually became numb to human emotions. She was used to watching life and death, and seeing joys and sorrows.He always silently stood on the edge of the world of mortals, watching all kinds of people tossing in the waves of mortals, bound by emotions and desires.He couldn't leave, he could only watch, and keep watching.

At that time, he met a child who was like a floating weed just like Hu Yue.At that time, Hu Yue passed a temple, and he found him at the corner of the temple. He was not like other beggars.In front of him are many trinkets made of willow and rattan. Although the workmanship is rough, he sits quietly on the ground, watching the pilgrims coming and going. Some good men and women will buy one, and he is not grateful , just as an ordinary transaction.His eyes were full of indifference.

This indifference made Hu Yue seem to see himself, he stopped to observe this child.The child looked up at Hu Yue, and Hu Yue asked, "Can you eat enough by selling these?"

The child gave him a cold look and said, "At least I haven't starved to death yet."

Hu Yue laughed loudly, which attracted the attention of the people around him, and the child gave him a stare.Hu Yue knelt down and said, "Then do you think you will starve to death?"

The child snorted coldly: "I have hands and feet, how could I starve to death, but you can tell that you are a poor scholar. If you don't buy anything, get out of here. Don't do business in front of me."

Hu Yue said: "Then, let's work together. You see, these things of yours are too rough. I will check for you, make it more detailed, and earn half of the money? I won't bully you, I will have two every day. Jar of wine."

The child waved his hand and said, "Whoever wants to partner with you, go quickly."

Hu Yue sighed, patted the dust off her body, and at this moment.Suddenly there was a noise from the side of the temple.The child jumped up all of a sudden, hugged the cloth that was lying on the ground, and then ran in the opposite direction.Hu Yue failed to run, and was caught by someone who charged straight over.The person who came was a nursing home servant who seemed to be from a wealthy family. He picked up Hu Yue's collar and said, "Tell me, where did that kid go?"

Hu Yue looked at him, then at the side and said, "I don't know him. I just want to see what he sells."

The servant looked at Hu Yue fiercely, pushed him away and said, "Then tell me, where did he go?"

Hu Yue straightened in one direction for a moment and nodded towards Jia Ding, with a look of don't involve me, I'm just a passerby.The servant didn't have time to pay attention to him, and ran directly in the direction he pointed.

Hu Yue straightened his collar, and he shouted into the distance: "Everyone is gone, how long are you going to hide?"

The child jumped out all of a sudden, and he frowned and asked, "Why did you help me?"

Hu Yue stretched out her finger and shook it and said, "No, no, I'm not helping you, I just don't like being pulled by my collar."

The child laughed, and he said, "One weirdo. Forget it, I'll give you this. It's my repayment. Don't pester me any more."

The child stretched out his hand, a small basket made of wicker and rattan.There are some mountain flowers stuck on it, Hu Yue stretched out his hand to pick it up.The child smiled and ran away.

Hu Yue held a basket made of willow rattan in his hand, he leaned closer to smell it, and then glanced at the child who had gone away.

Chu Jue said, "Is there a problem with Liu Teng?"

Hu Yue took a sip of wine and said: "Yes, I was attracted by those gadgets because these vines are not pure willow vines. So I went again the next day."

The next day, Hu Yue still found the kid weaving willow and rattan gadgets in the same place.When the kid saw Hu Yue, although he looked disgusted, he didn't resist too much, as if he guessed that he would come again.

Hu Yue said with a smile: "Your little basket is pretty good. It was taken by a girl who sang a ditty, and she likes it very much."

The child was slightly taken aback, and then said with contempt: "What others give you, do you just give it away again?"

Hu Yue knelt down again and said, "Then you are giving me one. My basket was taken away by force, and there is nothing I can do about it."

The child moved his body and said, "It's too late, it's gone."

Hu Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Then...can you tell me where all your willow branches come from?"

The child suddenly became vigilant, and he said, "Why are you asking this?"

Hu Yue said, "I'll make a few too, and when the time comes, I'll grab your business and earn money for drinking."

The child sneered and said, "Don't think about it, I picked up all these willow vines in one place."

Hu Yue approached and asked, "Where is it?"

The child said decisively: "I can't tell you, that place is not accessible to random people."

Hu Yue patted the child on the shoulder with a smile, and he quietly patted a pinch of cigarette ash hidden in his hand into his collar.Then he said: "If you don't say it, don't say it. You see, we have met so many times. It's time to be friends. Give me another one."

The child pushed Hu Yue away with his elbow, but still threw him a small ball made of vines and said, "Here you are, don't bother me."

Hu Yue took the ball, sniffed it close to his nose, then took out a piece of ancient jade from his bosom and threw it to the child, saying: "It's not rude to come and go. Take it, and give it to you."

The child looked at the piece of jade, then looked at Hu Yue's clothes, and said along his saliva, "Did you steal...?"

Hu Yue turned her head silently, and quickly gave the child a chestnut. The child held his head and screamed for pain. Hu Yue puffed up his cheeks and said, "Of course it belongs to me. I am a disciple of a sage. I read the books of sages. I can do those things." Kind of a chicken-screaming dog-robbing thing?"

The child rolled his eyes at him a few times, but still put Gu Yu in his arms.

Seeing that he was putting the ancient jade on his body safely, Hu Yue waved at him and said, "Hey, let's go, the temple is going to give out fast. If you don't go, you will be bullied by those monks again. gone."

The child looked at Hu Yue's back, and there was a smile on his face that didn't belong to a child.But then disappeared.

Hu Yue was really hungry that day to track down the child. He sprinkled incense powder on him, and the smell of this powder can only be revealed under the smell of alcohol.With the jug in his hand, he stalked the child, who seemed unaware that he was being followed.

Then entered a door.There is another low house inside the gate. There is a yard in front of the low house. There is a willow tree and many crabapple flowers in the house. It is covered by a curtain, and a faint fragrance of incense comes out from the curtain.The yard has been carefully designed, and the owner's sympathy and orchid heart can be seen everywhere.

A woman was sitting in the curtain, and Hu Yue followed secretly. The child ran over and kowtowed heavily to the woman, and a voice like a silver bell came from the curtain: "Young master behind the door, you don't need to hide!" gone."

Hu Yue touched her nose, and finally walked in.

Hu Yue smiled and said, "Xiaosheng..."

The child shouted: "I didn't bring him here, he must have followed me secretly, but why would I..."

Hu Yue smiled slightly, patted the child on the shoulder very acquaintedly and said, "I'm not you. Your piece of ancient jade? It smells of alcohol, so you naturally don't care about the powder behind you." I found out, so I can follow the fragrance to find you. Do you admire me?"

The child was so angry that he stretched out his hand and threw the ancient jade on the ground. Hu Yue picked it up with a sigh.He smiled and said to the woman: "The willow sticks you asked this child to sell should not be from the underworld. Whoever buys them, you can get something from him."

The woman didn't answer. The child's eyes suddenly changed, his pupils shrank instantly, and then he stretched out his hand suddenly. His nails were very sharp, and he swiped at Hu Yue.

Hu Yue leaned back and tiptoed away from the child's attack range.The child watched him warily.Hu Yue shook her head and said, "At least I'm a friend. Although you're not human, I didn't harm you. I also sent away those people who lost their souls because you tricked them into buying wicker, right?"

At this time, the woman inside the curtain said: "What is your purpose here?"

Hu Yue said, "I want to know what you exchanged these willow sticks for?"

The woman sighed softly: "You are not the person I am looking for, so since you know the secret here, there are only two choices, one is to let me take away your memories of this period, and the other is to stay here forever."

Although the woman's voice is very soft, she has a toughness that cannot be questioned.

Hu Yue said, "I still have a choice."

The woman chuckled lightly and said, "What choice do you have, Young Master?"

Hu Yue broke a wicker and said: "This child gave me a wicker for the second time, but I didn't want to make a contract with you, so I didn't get the trick. But what if I choose to exchange it with you now?"

The woman groaned, and the curtain blew a gust of wind, but she still couldn't see her face, she said, "Contract?"

Hu Yue said: "I have a memory that I can't remember now. If you can find it for me, then I can make a contract with you and achieve one thing you want."

The woman giggled and said, "Your name?"

Hu Yue bowed slightly and said, "Hu Yue."

The woman said with a smile: "You are willing to say your name readily, so you are not afraid of me..."

The woman suddenly paused, he didn't continue, fell into silence, and then said suspiciously: "You...you are not an ordinary mortal, you should have died long ago."

Hu Yue said nonchalantly: "Yeah, old age never dies, death never ages, it's me."

The woman said, "Maybe...you can find him for me..."

Hu Yue said, "Are you looking for someone?"

The woman's tone became cold, and she said, "I'm going to kill him..."

When the woman said the word kill, Hu Yue felt a gust of wind blowing.He actually took half a step back.

Then the woman smiled and said: "Well, I still can't help you retrieve that memory... I... feel that this memory is not discarded, but blocked. But this is not caused by magic. The problem is On yourself. Well, you have enough time to find that person for me. If you find him, you come to me. Even if I can't restore your memory, I will definitely provide you with the clues you want , and even tell you the cause of your memory damage."

Hu Yue snorted, and said, "How can you be so sure, girl, that I haven't been able to do it for so long?"

The woman still smiled lightly and said: "Yes, as long as you can find him for me."

Hu Yue thought about it carefully, and then agreed: "Okay."

But the woman continued: "Don't worry, Hu Sheng, such a verbal contract makes you unable to really understand the truth. How about this, you think about one thing, and I ask you for an innocuous token. In this way, we also have It's friendship. How?"

Hu Yue was hesitant. Although the woman said so, she didn't know what the result would be after signing the contract, and this person was not a kind person.He said: "Oh, then I have to think carefully, why does the girl rely on willow sticks?"

The woman was silent for a while, and then she said sadly: "Break the willow, don't leave it... Ruthless is the Taicheng willow, and it is still the smoke cage Shili embankment. You don't need to worry about it, just find that person for me."

At this time, a voice suddenly flashed in Hu Yue's mind, promising her... He said in a mysterious way: "Then, can I listen to this Liu Yin?"

The woman laughed miserably a few times, and then said, "Are you sure?"

Hu Yue smiled and said: "Then I will leave my voice as a proof. But I can't stop talking... Well, how about this, I will read a poem to you, girl. Can I use this poem as a proof?"

The woman said: "Very good."

Hu Yue walked alone. He walked to the edge of the willow tree and saw the willow tree in the courtyard. After looking up for a moment, he said: "The willow silks are flying randomly under the Tang Dynasty. It's not like flying flowers are better than flying flowers. I still remember the place where the branches were broken in the future. It is also lingering and lingering. This poem is for the girl."

After reading the poem, the breeze blows up, the woman doesn't speak for a long time, and Hu Yue doesn't urge her.

Although the woman's voice was still cold, there was a trace of sorrow. She said: "Hu Sheng is a person with love, but he has a ruthless heart. If his heart is cold, that's how it is... It's a pity, it's a pity. Okay, then I Then accept this condition. And the Liuyin you want to hear is not here, but by the Jinshui Lake. Go, maybe you can understand."

Hu Yue cupped her hands and said, "Miss Xie."

Hu Yue bumped into Chu Jue behind him and said, "Are you asleep?"

Chu Jue listened with his head down, and said, "Listen."

Hu Yue smiled slightly: "After that, Qiao'er met, and then I met you again... It seems that everything happened after making a contract with this woman. Nasty fate..."

Hu Yue drank the last sip of wine in the jug.He fell down and lay down, Chu Jue bent down knowingly.He lifted Hu Yue's hair, leaned close to his lips and said, "Evil fate is also fate, why don't you have fate with me?"

Hu Yue snorted sideways, Chu Jue smiled, and continued to ask: "What happened next? Did you find the person she was looking for?"

Hu Yue was lying on his side, he looked ahead and said, "I broke the contract"

Chu Jue slowly loosened Hu Yue's belt and said, "Why?"

Because of discomfort, Hu Yue frowned slightly and said, "Because if I tell her, there are only two outcomes, and one of them will die."

Chu Jue raised Hu Yue's chin, made him look into his eyes and curled his mouth and said, "So simple?"

Hu Yue squinted and said: "She didn't retrieve my memory for me. I didn't mention that he found someone. The contract doesn't count."

Chu Jue said: "No, the contract has already been completed. That Liu Yin got your voice, which means that this is already another condition of exchange. In this way, she can follow the vine to extract your soul, so your voice must come back. I You must have your voice back."

Hu Yue said, "What does it matter?"

Chu Jue touched Hu Yue's cheek, rubbed his thumbs against his lips and said, "Yes, although you can't die, but... Demented..."

Hu Yue frowned slightly, he didn't speak, but he also knew in his heart that if he was demented, he would be a living dead.He can't die, and he will be a living dead forever, which will be a worse situation than it is now.He also felt afraid.

Knowing Hu Yue's worry, Chu Jue stopped talking about it, and gently kissed the tip of Hu Yue's nose. He leaned down and approached Hu Yue's ear and said, "What if I can find that memory for you?"

Hu Yue looked up at Chu Jue, and said, "You have nothing to do, otherwise you wouldn't be like this."

Chu Jue said with a wry smile, "Yes, I have no choice."

Hu Yue looked away from Chu Jue, and Chu Jue's smile became even more bitter.Hu Yue said: "So you don't have to care..."

Chu Jue put his hands on Hu Yue's eyes and kissed Hu Yue's lips, but he didn't answer.But the entangled tongue told Hu Yue that he would not leave, and would not leave until death.

Hu Yue exhaled shallowly, maybe that's all right.He put his hands on the shoulders of the person on him.He was used to letting his body be handed over to Chu Jue, but what about his heart?Does he have a heart?

The gentle entry still couldn't fill the empty heart, he recalled the Liu Yin he heard, that voice was too sad.But there was something else mixed in with this voice, a message he was eager to know.

Chu Jue was dissatisfied with Hu Yue's inattention, and Hu Yue came back to his senses in pain. He frowned slightly, and the corners of his eyes seemed to be a little resentful.

Seeing him like this, Chu Jue acted more indulgently, and Hu Yue stopped thinking, and couldn't help letting out intermittent groans that seemed to be patient.Or just so he doesn't have to think too much.This is also Chu Jue's tenderness.

When the two were in ecstasy during the spring night, the surroundings of Guanqingzhai were not as peaceful as before.One person stands with two handrails, and beside them are two ghost girls.They bowed their heads and said, "Failed..."

The man snorted and said, "I expected it."

Liu looked up at him and said, "Then what should we do next?"

On a moonless night, I couldn't see this person's face clearly, but his eyes were extremely gloomy. He said, "Do you think you have escaped from my scheme now?"

Liu Dimei took a step back and said: "The servant girl dare not..."

The man showed a sneer at Guanqingzhai and said: "Furong warms the tent, I'll just see what happens to these two people in the end."

Yan wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu, who shook her head slightly.The two slowly disappeared into the heavy rain with lanterns in hand.
