honey with flowers

【"Admiring flowers at night is the most romantic." Hua ManLou coughed dryly, finding a really lame reason. 】

The two men and three horses finally reached a town before sunset.Lu Xiaofeng thought that these two people would find their way back soon, but he still thought too easily.A clever girl who can't see the way at all and a clever man who can't see with both eyes are riding horses outside a deserted city at dusk. It would be amazing if they really found the right place.

"Qitong, there is a very high city wall ahead." The little dragon girl dragged the horse to slow down, and looked at the young man beside her with a questioning expression.

"It's a town, it looks like we have a place to stay tonight." Hua Manlou smiled slightly.When following Xiaolongnv's horse into the dense forest, Hua Manlou thought that the two of them would probably spend the night in the dense forest tonight, but they didn't expect that there was a shortcut in the dense forest. before rushing to town.

It is common sense that there must be an inn in a town.

People come and go in this small town, and the number of people on the street seems to increase significantly at dusk.

After entering the city, Hua Manlou and Xiao Longnv lead the horses into the crowd.The scene of two people holding three horses also really increased the rate of return of the two people. These days, an ordinary horse is also expensive, not to mention that the horses they are holding in their hands are both body color and hair. , with strong legs and abdomen, you can tell at a glance that it is a good horse among ten thousand.

Looking at the two people holding the horse again, not to mention the quality of the clothes, just by the temperament and appearance of the body, you can tell that they are definitely not ordinary people. They are either from the rivers and lakes or the children of the rich family. Of course, the latter is more likely .

Opposite an inn is a small stall selling steamed buns, steamed buns and bean buns. The owner is a middle-aged man with a beard and a knife scar on his face. The scar made him more vicious, but the people in the town, even children, were not afraid of him, and some even joked that the scar on his face was accidentally cut with a kitchen knife.

"Mother, can you still eat bean buns today?" The doll with the shofar braids tugged at her mother's sleeves, staring straight at the stall of the man with the scar on it. In the warm air, the doll bit her fingers, refusing to move.

A Niang disagrees, the woman's complexion is yellow and her hair is dry, she looks like a poor family, but even so, she cleans the clothes of herself and her daughter, and only cleans the clothes in a few places that cannot be seen. With a neat patch or two.She shook her head, but her eyes were bright, "After your father sends the money, my mother will bring you to eat bean buns."

"Aunt Tongzi, if you have a bean bag or something, just treat it as a gift from me to the child, no money is required." The scarred man squeezed out a smile, but there was a different kind of gentleness in this smile on his stiff and fierce face, His calloused hands picked up three beans from the stall, packed them in paper bags, and stuffed them into the doll's hands.

"Oh, what are you doing? You can't take a child's words seriously. How dare you accept it..." A Niang waved her hands quickly, and then hurriedly took money out of her pocket, but there were only a few copper coins in it. It was bronze in color, with oil splashes on it, and stuffed in a crumpled pocket, it was indeed not enough money to buy a bean bag.

"Take it, take it." The man with the scar stopped A Niang's movements, and encouraged the girl to put it away.

The female doll had a big smile on her face, her small hands clenched her pockets tightly, and she said crisply, "Thank you, Uncle A Ming."

"Hey." The man with the scar rubbed his hands, his old face flushed, his eyes wandered to other places, but suddenly he was startled for a moment, took a closer look, hurried forward two steps, and said happily: "Young man? Why are you here?" Already?" At this time, his eyes turned to the white figure on the side of Huamanlou, and he was stunned for a while, and it took him a while to realize his impoliteness, and rubbed his hands together in embarrassment: "This, this is the madam, right?"

"Miss Long is Hua's friend." Hua Manlou handed over the reins to the waiter at the inn, turned his eyes to the scarred man's position, and smiled happily: "Hero Zhou, we meet again."

"No, no, I can't be called a hero. Zhou Ming would like to thank Playboy for his life-saving grace last time." There was a hint of shame on Zhou Ming's face, "Playboy's kindness, Zhou Ming, will always be remembered , now Zhou Ming has turned his back on his evil ways, although... he is still far from being a young master, but he always wants to make up for his past ignorance."

"Just now I can't see your past at all, I can only see you now."

Hua Manlou smiled slightly, and said softly: "Helping others does not require others' judgment, as long as you feel happy, you are already successful. I help you because I will feel happy, and it will also make you feel happy, so you You don't need to thank me, because you have already given me the best reward."

Zhou Ming stood there in a daze.

Half of the buns and steamed buns have been sold, and he also feels very happy and full.

After dusk, it is the eve of dawn, and it is also a brighter night sky.The most beautiful and remote things are actually within everyone's reach.

……

Xiao Longnv sat by the window and looked down, wondering: "Qitong, that person is still standing outside." Hua Manlou said a lot to this person, and she could understand it.Why do you feel happy when you help others?She can't understand it, but she knows that whenever Huamanlou helps others, her smile is extraordinarily warm.

She likes this feeling.

It is different from the cold jade bed that helps her practice her internal skills every day and night, different from the jade bee who is willing to listen to her commands and can transform into various forms to defend against the enemy, and different from the cold master who took care of her growing up and taught her martial arts...these It seems to be a long-lost memory.Every picture left in my mind is gradually dyed in a cool light blue.

But now opposite her, there is a scorching sun rising slowly.Some kind of gentle sunlight dipped into her icy skin, making her blood surge with joy.

Hua Manlou looked sideways, as if he was also "watching" the people downstairs, he slowly closed his folding fan, and smiled lightly: "I think he must understand what he wants."

"Does Qitong have anything he wants?"

Hua Manlou's dark eyes met her suspicious gaze, he put his palm on the top of her hair and rubbed it, and shook his head dotingly and helplessly: "Yes, I have it too." After finishing speaking, he chuckled again : "Of course I have."

The little brother with a four-square towel on his shoulder stood beside the two cautiously, glanced back and forth, hesitated to speak, and finally gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Guests, we have a vacant guest room in the inn. There's only one room left."

-

An upper room is no big deal.

Nine out of ten people who live in the hotel will encounter this kind of situation, and Huamanlou has already been mentally prepared.

Hua Manlou has never stayed in an inn a few times in his life. The first few times were with Lu Xiaofeng, and there was only one room left. Sometimes it might be the upper room, sometimes it might be the second room. But at that time, it was fine for two men to live in one room.But this time with Xiaolongnv, Huamanlou made up his mind to go to the roof to watch at night.

Men and women are different after all.

The candlelight in the room was radiant, Xiao Longnv's wet black hair was interspersed with her fingertips and cloth towel like satin, and the girl in the bronze mirror had picturesque eyebrows and a beautiful complexion.

After freshening up, Hua Manlou opened the door and walked out, but a familiar cold fragrance came from behind, his back stiffened, and he knew what Xiao Longnu looked like without even thinking about it—it must be better than the day after taking a bath .Hua Manlou turned around, took her arm and went back to the room, sighed and said, "You stay in the room and sleep obediently, we will start our journey at dawn tomorrow."

"Wherever you are going, I will follow." Xiao Longnu said seriously.

Hua Manlou thought that Xiao Longnu was still a child at heart, so she comforted her, "I won't leave, I'll just stay outside, if there's something to shout, I'll show up."

Xiao Longnv nodded and asked curiously, "What's good outside?"

"Admiring flowers at night is the most romantic." Hua Manlou coughed dryly, finding a really lame reason.Fortunately, the other party never bothered with this loophole.

The candlelight was half dyed, and the candle tears accumulated a small bowl on the lamp stand.

The bed curtain fluttered gently in the slightly cold wind.

Xiao Longnu sat motionless in front of the dowry table, quietly looking at the window.The moon is half-empty, and it seems to be very late.Since coming to the world outside the ancient tomb, she has also learned about the rising and setting of the sun and the movement trajectory of the night moon.

But why hasn't Qitong come back yet?

Xiao Longnv looked up at the roof suspiciously - he has been sitting on the roof for an hour, can you enjoy flowers on the roof too?Xiao Longnv clasped her hands, lowered her head slightly, didn't she say that she would be happy only if she had enough sleep, why didn't she go to bed so late?

By the way, Qi Tong said that if there is something to shout, he will come back... Xiao Longnv's eyes lit up, she stood up suddenly and shouted softly towards the roof: "Qi Tong..."

Someone on the roof suddenly woke up, thinking that there was something wrong with the other party, and broke the window anxiously the next moment.

The people in the room were caught off guard and were hugged in their arms at the waist.Hua Manlou frowned and felt the atmosphere in the room, but didn't find anything wrong, so he asked softly, "Long Er, what's wrong?"

The candle light crackled softly, Xiao Longnv stared at him blankly, a blush slowly appeared on her cheek.
