Dongyin

?The rain that day fell quietly until night. From a distance, the whole mountain was black and black, only the foot of the mountain was faintly showing a little light. The whole mountain was silent in the dark night, and it seemed Deep and wise.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and there were a few scattered stars in the sky. But suddenly, the roosters at the foot of the mountain woke up, and the crowing of the roosters woke up the whole land and the land. the people who live in this land.

The light at the foot of the mountain, as the light gradually changed, I couldn't see it very clearly. Following the light, I could only see a small courtyard standing quietly in the haze, and a dark red heather tree was still conspicuous. Looking again Recently, the yard is very small, only two or three rooms. At this time, in that room, there is a girl who is doing ideological struggle, choosing between human nature and reason.

The early bird gets the worm, and eventually rationality takes over.

Ying'er got up and rubbed her eyes while yawning. It was incredible to see it. Why was there still light shining through the crack of the door? She quickly jumped out of bed and tiptoedly lay on the crack of the door to watch. Wearing an unlined garment, she leaned against the table. Ying'er pushed the door open and said sadly, "Miss, why are you still sitting here? The rooster has crowed all over again."

When Chu Xiying was called by her, she seemed to be disturbed. After rubbing his forehead, he sighed inaudibly and said, "I accidentally watched it for a long time."

"Miss Shan Hai Jing has read it countless times, she must have memorized it backwards, and she still reads it!" Seeing her loss, Ying'er couldn't help complaining. This is not reading a book, she is clearly waiting for someone. Thinking like this , Ying'er couldn't help feeling angry, so why did the damned Lord Hou insist that King Qi would go to Mituo Mountain to preside over the sacrifice? If you don't say no, everything will be fine, if you don't have expectations, you will be disappointed." Miss, you have a night I haven't slept yet, go to rest quickly. I...I will go to sleep again, let's have breakfast and eat later."

Chu Xiying nodded, sat on the edge of the bed, and suddenly asked, "Is the road all wet after it's been raining for so long?"

Ying'er spread out the quilt and smiled wryly, "Whether the road is wet or not has nothing to do with us, the rain will stop at some point...Miss, you should go to bed quickly, if you continue like this, you will catch a cold."

Chu Xi sat back on the bed according to his words, pulled the quilt back, and said with a dazed smile, "Go to sleep."

Ying'er had a sore nose, and hurriedly lowered her head and walked out, closing the door. Why didn't the King of Qi come to see it at this time! Even if she was ungrateful, her mother was still buried here, but in the past three years, she has been buried here. She never came back. Ying'er was so anxious and angry that she sat on the stool and wiped her tears. When she didn't know why she wiped her tears, the sky was slightly bright, and Ying'er got dressed and opened the door , At that moment, the humid air rushed in, and it felt completely new. The distant sky was full of blue clouds, and it seemed that the weather would be fine from now on. Ying'er was in a better mood, quickly put on her apron, and sat on the threshold. She Unconsciously humming a song, suddenly heard the sound of "da da", is someone knocking on the gate of the courtyard

Ying'er became nervous in an instant, and I'm afraid that the rogue Lord Hou would not come at this time. She was nervous for a while, but she didn't hear the sound again. Just when she thought she was hallucinating, the sound rang out again.

Ying'er's heart was numb, she bravely went to open the door, looked up and saw a figure, she screamed and shut the courtyard door tightly.

She was walking back while patting her chest, her heart was in a mess, isn't that man King Qi? Why did she come here really, what is she doing here so early

Ying'er was empty-headed, carrying the basin to the stove, her feet were trembling unconsciously. She washed the rice and boiled a bucket of hot water, guessing that it was time for Chu Xiying to wake up. He brought a basin of water into the house.

Going in and looking, Chu Xiying was still sitting on the bed, not knowing what to think. Ying'er put the water on the shelf, and said sadly, "Miss, why don't you sleep... I, I just saw a ghost."

Chu Xiying finally had the slightest reaction, and looked at her suspiciously. Ying'er said, "Really! I saw King Qi..."

These words awakened the confused shadow like enlightenment. She screamed again and said, "Oops, I locked her out!"

After finishing speaking, she ran out. Chu Xiying's spirit seemed to return to her body, and her eyes instantly brightened. She watched Ying'er run away nervously.

But Ying'er immediately stopped her body again, tears burst out of her eyes instantly, and said, "But now it's daylight, she must be gone, what should I do!"

Chu Xiying only felt confused and didn't know what to do for a while.

"I...I'll take another look." Ying'er took a deep breath and ran out of the house.

At that moment, Chu Xiying was surprisingly calm. She didn't expect any results. She knew she had been here before, so it was fine. Chu Xiying calmly put on her clothes, and calmly combed her hair until everything was sorted out. Then he went out slowly.

The few steps to the door are as far away as life and death. During this period, she planned various possibilities, and every result was to end this inexplicable thought. But when she appeared at the door, she saw Duan Hong At that moment, all plans were lost.

Duan Hong's clothes seemed to be wet with dew, and the color was different. But she still stood straight at the gate of the courtyard, looking at her.

That expression is not clear, but Chu Xiying can read the apology, helplessness and shallow longing in it. Compared with three years ago, this person gave her too much sense. Chu Xiying was dazzled , she walked over step by step. She seemed to see Yinger throwing stones at the man, "If you can't come in, if you don't come in, I will close the door!"

The man just looked at her motionless, and then she heard herself ask "Honger, why don't you come in"

Duan Hong looked at her for a long time. For three years, this woman seemed to have not changed at all. She was still thin and light, still slender and beautiful. Duan Hong paused for a moment, his throat tightened, "I'm afraid you will fall asleep gone."

"You..." Thousands of words finally condensed into a faint sentence "Come in."

Duan Hong wanted to follow with all his heart, only to feel that his feet were numb when he opened his legs. After finally following, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the heather tree.

She planted the tree three years ago, and she said she would come to water and fertilize it every day, but she hasn't come since then.

"What are you doing standing here, go in." Seeing her staring at the tree in a daze, Ying'er urged. She didn't know that no one in Duan Hong dared to speak to her like this anymore.

Duan Hong twitched the corner of her mouth lightly, not knowing whether it was admiration or sigh, or something else, she stopped to look at Ying'er and said, "Girl, you are too courageous."

Ying'er snorted, turned her head away, and looked like she was not afraid of anything. In fact, she was so nervous at the moment, she just pretended to be, and waved her hand, "Go in by yourself!" Then she fled and hid in the stove. The room is gone.

Said Ying'er hid in the stove for a long time, but her heart was beating non-stop. After finally calming down, she saw Chu Xiying came in with a piece of clothing in her hands.

Isn't it Duan Hong's body! When Ying'er saw it, she couldn't help calling "This dress..."

Chu Xiying hurriedly gave her a wink.

Ying'er fell silent for a moment, looked outside the door, asked "what's the matter" with her lips, and even took off her clothes.

Chu Xiying couldn't help laughing, and said, "Why are you doing this, just keep your voice low. She is sleeping, and I saw that the robe was moist, so I took it to dry. You go and light the stove."

How could you sleep in broad daylight, hypocritical! Even though Ying'er thought so, seeing Chu Xiying smile, she was still very happy. She quickly moved the stove over, and moved a stool for Chu Xiying to sit down. While lighting the fire, he thought, "Could King Qi come here in the middle of the night? She...would she bring many people here..."

Chu Xiying didn't answer, as if she was deep in thought.

Ying'er remembered how Duan Hong treated her just now, and couldn't help complaining twice. But when she looked up, she saw Chu Xiying's calm and sweet expression, so she held back.

Not long after, the clothes were dry. Chu Xiying said to the sleepy Yinger, "You send this clothes in."

"I dont go!"

"Why?" Chu Xiying looked at Ying'er in surprise, why was she so determined?

"She hates me!" Ying'er finally couldn't help it anymore, she pouted her lips and turned her head away, and told the scene again. She tugged on Chu Xiying's sleeve again and said, "Miss, don't you think she has changed a lot?"

"People are always going to change." Chu Xiying folded the clothes and said, "I'll send it over by myself." Duan Hong has changed, there is nothing wrong with that. But the person she saw would come down the mountain in the middle of the night, The person who waited for an hour or two just to say "I'm afraid you fell asleep" is still the same person three years ago.

Ying'er looked at her back, feeling so wronged that she wanted to cry. Why did Chu Xiying treat Duan Hong so well? How come others don't know how she came here in the past three years? Maybe this time, it will be another three years, But how many three years are there in life

Chu Xi lingered into the room, but unexpectedly saw Duan Hong sitting at the table in his middle coat, flipping through the book of Three Seas.

Hearing that she came in, Duan Hongcai stopped, looked at the book and said, "It's been three years, why are you still reading this book?"

"Three years, you must understand." There are always some things that can't be exchanged even after a lifetime of painstaking efforts. Chu Xiying was dejected, but didn't want to say more, and put the book away.

Duan Hong looked at her calmly, always feeling that she had something to say. After waiting for a while, Chu Xiying still did not speak, so Duan Hong put on his robe and stood by the door to look.

The heather tree was facing her. At that moment, she suddenly had a strange thought, would Chu Xiying stand here and look at that tree every day? Did she really have no intention of blaming her for not coming here for three years? Duan Hong couldn't help turning his eyes back to this woman, but Chu Xiying's calmness and composure made her feel that the idea just now was so naive as to be ridiculous. She took a deep breath and realized a problem "your privet tree"

"It withered two years ago." Chu Xiying seemed to think of something, thinking deeply into Shang Duanhong's eyes, "Just like you said, things that are out of season will not have good results."

I don't know whether Chu Xiying's words were originally simple or too deep, but Duan Hong didn't hear anything. She just turned her head and looked at the tree again. With a flash of inspiration, she tore off the jade pendant around her waist and walked outside the door. Walk.

Chu Xiying chased her out and asked her.

Duan Hong held up the jade pendant in Yang's hand, and said, "Give it a meeting gift."

At that moment, the morning sun shot out from the clouds, and the courtyard was full of red. The first ray of sunshine in three years finally shone into her heart. Chu Xiying felt that she must be possessed by a demon, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter how hard she tried. She looked away Duan Hong walked towards the tree, like a dream.

But illusions are always easy to break.

With a scream, a person rolled down from the tree.

"Duan Siyou!" Duan Hong looked at the person rolling on the ground, she was furious and couldn't believe it, she sneered in a low voice, "I'll settle the score with you when I go back."

Duan Siyou got up depressed and patted the soil. Is Duan Hong sick? He just stared at the tree when he entered the door, and finally hoped that she would stare at it when she entered and said a word. This is not enough, I have to climb up to see
