Dream Maker [Rebirth]

The sun rises and the sun sets, the clouds roll and the clouds relax.

In the following days, Luci would still go to Zangshuge to copy the wine recipes every day, would still take Ji Wuzhou and other fellow disciples to the islands from time to time, would still use the sound of the flute to control spirits, and would send deer spirits from time to time early in the morning. To disturb the master's waking dream, or "bring something to eat" to Tongsang in the middle of the night.

Young people always feel that the time is long, never feel how precious it is, and are used to squandering it recklessly, thinking that there will never be a time to sigh.

And the time passed quietly in such an inadvertent way.

Soon after, Zhouzhong ushered in the new year's day of housing distribution.

This time, there was no trouble in the room allocation process - as soon as the lottery was over, Lu Ci found the same door who had drawn Ji Wuzhou, and exchanged name tags in private with him.

When Lu Ci stepped into the door of his new residence with all his belongings in his arms, almost every strand of his hair was full of pride, and he couldn't help but exaggeratedly teased Ji Wuzhou who was in the room: "Oh, so Coincidentally, we are in the same room with you again, what kind of predestined fate is this between us?"

Ji Wuzhou, who was making the bed, raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at him in silence for a moment, and then suddenly pursed his lips and smiled lightly, with a tacit consent of "see through but not tell" in the smile, and "whatever you say is right" in the smile The indulgence, the rest is full of heartfelt pleasure.

In the end, his smile didn't matter, but Lu Ci was dumbfounded for a moment. He just stood there holding the sundries in his arms, and didn't move for a long time.

——For so long, Ji Wuzhou has always had an indifferent look of rejecting others thousands of miles away, as if nothing can warm his immovable and handsome face.

This is the first time that Lu Ci saw such a sincere smile on his face, watching those cold eyes rippling with warmth like melting ice, watching the corners of his always tightly pursed lips bend slightly and softly , Lu Ci accidentally fell into a god, and he couldn't return to his soul for a long time.

……

In the days to come, the older brothers and sisters in the secret realm left the continent one by one, while the younger brothers and sisters came drifting down the river one by one.

The melancholy of parting and the joy of first meeting are intertwined and staged one after another. There have been scenes of blooming spring flowers, the sound of cicadas in summer, autumn leaves all over the ground, and winter snow.

Finally, another year when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the day when Ji Wuzhou leaves the island is approaching.

There was no need for Master to remind him, Lu Ci had already realized that that day was coming, so for a long time before that, he would often be in a daze unconsciously, sullen and unhappy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

However, no matter what he thinks, what should come will come after all, just like the water passing away in the east will never stop, and the flowers at the end of the season will never stay.

The night before leaving the island, Ji Wuzhou returned to the house very early, but he continued to do some trivial things as usual as if nothing had happened.

Lu Ci sat on the side of the couch and stared at him silently for a long time, watching him finish everything in his hands in an orderly manner, but he never started to prepare for packing, and finally couldn't help reminding with complicated emotions: "Tomorrow I'm leaving, why don't you pack up your things?"

Ji Wuzhou glanced at him when he heard the words, then raised his chin towards the corner: "Put it away."

Lu Ci followed his gaze to look at the corner, and saw that it was just an old wooden box of a small size, then turned his head to look at the unchanged furnishings in the room, and said strangely: "You What did you bring? You didn't move these things at all?"

Ji Wuzhou nonchalantly brushed away those collections in the room that were considered extremely precious by others, and looked back and said indifferently: "Those are not needed, only the important ones."

Lu Ci was puzzled when he heard the words, he really couldn't think of what would be important to Ji Wuzhou for a while, but it was not good to go online and run to look through the box, so he nodded slowly, and then went There was a long silence again.

He actually had a lot of things he wanted to say, but he piled them all up in his heart, and when he got to his mouth, he felt that they didn't matter much.He didn't want to bring up topics that were too heavy and depressing, and he pretended to be lighthearted and joking, but he really couldn't express an appropriate expression, so he held back and didn't come up with a reason.

It wasn't until the night was getting dark, when Ji Wuzhou finished cooking and washed everything in his hands and came back to turn off the lights, Lu Ci let out a muffled "Oh", lifted the quilt and lay down in it.

To this day, he finally understands the slightly pessimistic emotion that senior brother Lu had before leaving the island: When we get along with each other on weekdays, we always think that there is still a lot of time, as if it will never come to an end, but when the parting is approaching, we will suddenly be shocked. It turns out that the day and night and the changing seasons are just playing the command room. Looking back, it is so short, so short that it is fleeting, and the short coming is not enough to stay.

……

The next day.

Just after dawn, Ji Wuzhou got up from the couch lightly.

Lu Ci, who hadn't closed his eyes at all all night, heard the slight rustling noise that Ji Wuzhou deliberately suppressed at the first time, but he never expected that he was going to leave so early.

However, just as he was about to ask a question, he thought about it, but he immediately reacted - Ji Wuzhou wanted to leave quietly before the other classmates woke up, and did not want to attract too much attention.

So silently, Lu Ci also got up, washed and tidied up, and accompanied Ji Wuzhou out of the house.

Walking through scattered houses and through the silent dense forest, the two walked side by side in silence until they stepped on the grassland and finally arrived at the shore of Xihezhou.

Today is a cloudy day, the top of the head is covered with clouds, and the sea breeze blowing on the face is full of moisture, as if it will rain soon.

As the saying goes, when saying goodbye, the rain hates the clouds and worries, it seems that sincerity is not deceiving.

Lu Ci's heart was already suppressed tightly, and coupled with the exaggeration of the gloomy sky, he felt that his breathing became a little heavy.

Amid the sound of waves, Ji Wuzhou stopped and turned around: "Let's send it here, it's cold, remember to add some clothes when you go back."

Lu Ci didn't move, took a deep breath silently, managed to force a smile, spread out his hands and handed over the things he was holding all the way: "Here, this year's birthday gift."

Ji Wuzhou didn't expect such a thing to happen, he looked down unexpectedly and found that it was a glass bottle filled with lavender water, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What is this?"

Lu Ci said: "I don't know what it is called. It was awarded to me by the master after the winning streak in the past. It is said to be a blessing and good luck. Drinking it will bring good luck. But the master said that it will not work in the secret realm. You can only drink after you get to the mainland. Aren’t you about to go? This year, I wish you all the best and good luck after arriving in the mainland. Everything you experience in the future will be good things, and you will meet good people.”

As soon as Ji Wuzhou heard it, he knew that this thing was definitely not a vulgar thing, not only it was not a vulgar thing, it was probably a rare and rare thing in the world, so he fixed his eyes on it for a while and then raised his hand and pushed it back: "Keep it for yourself."

Lu Ciben even forced out a smile, but when he heard this, he suddenly became anxious: "How can there be any reason to take back what is sent out?"

After finishing speaking, he didn't seem to think it was enough, so he just pulled out the cork of the glazed bottle and tilted the bottle slightly to the side: "If you don't take it, I'll pour it down."

Ji Wuzhou was stunned, he didn't expect him to be so stubborn, after hesitating for a long while, he had no choice but to pull the cork out of his hand and put it back into the mouth of the bottle, then took the bottle and said: "Okay, I'll take it, thank you .”

Only then did Lu Ci smile in satisfaction, but he was soon overwhelmed by disappointment. Thinking of what Senior Brother Lu said at the beginning, he blinked slightly, and said in a slow voice as if tentatively: "We...will see you again in the future ?"

He asked cautiously, but Ji Wuzhou answered without hesitation: "Yes."

"Really?" Lu Ci was overjoyed for a while, and then realized that Ji Wuzhou might just say it casually, so he asked suspiciously, "Then... where can I find you then?"

Ji Wuzhou said: "I will pick you up at the shore then."

Lu Ci almost couldn't believe it, opened his eyes and said: "Do you know when I will leave the island?"

Ji Wuzhou said without hesitation: "Three years later, June [-]th."

Lu Ci didn't expect that he really remembered it so clearly. The heavy emotions in his heart were instantly swept away, and he even felt a little excited: "Then let's just say that? It's a deal!"

Ji Wuzhou nodded: "It's a deal."

……

Dark clouds filled the sky, and drizzle fell.

Standing on the shore, Lu Ci looked at the figure in the graceful clothes on the prow of the ship in the sea, watching the figure gradually disappear into the mist with the slanting wind and drizzle, and gradually disappear without a trace.

The melancholy of parting has been ironed properly because of that firm promise, and all the loss and sadness are quietly melted in the promise, turning into endless hopes and expectations——

Hope to come as promised, looking forward to reunion after a long absence.

However, Lu Ci didn't know at that time that this would be the last time he would meet Ji Wuzhou in his short life, and he didn't know that it was himself who said "it's a deal" but failed to keep the appointment in the end.

He also would not know that as early as a certain day after he started to store the wine prescriptions in the wooden box in the miscellaneous room, whenever he put in a new wine prescription, the next day there would be one less wine prescription in the box. Zhang, so that he wrote for a long time but failed to fill the wooden box.

What he doesn't even know is that during the three years that he was secretly looking forward to the day of Lizhou, there was a person who brewed the wine he wanted to brew one by one in the place closest to the secret place in the human continent, What he wanted to do was realized for him, and he kept the three-year agreement meticulously, waiting for him to arrive from the sea day after day.

However, thousands of sails eventually come to nothing.

In the end, that person couldn't wait for him to arrive as promised. What he got in exchange for three years of waiting was a sudden snowstorm in June, a moment of ecstasy and despair, a round of beginning from the beginning and an unknown end. Hope through the autumn water.

Lost and found.

Or gain and lose.

The wheel of fate starts from endless time.

……

……

……

"I remember."

Memory fragments came one after another, and Lu Ci, who was lying quietly in the stone house on the top of Hongye Peak, was thinking drowsily in a half-dream and half-awake state.

"I know it too."

At the last moment before his consciousness completely fell into darkness, he finally couldn't help but sigh in the chaos of nothingness.

"Unfortunately, I can't tell you anymore."
