THE A

After several days of recuperation, Dasha's wounds, large and small, recovered day by day.Sumo told him that the imperial family had canceled the death penalty for him, and he could rest assured to cultivate. Dasha no longer had nights and dreams, and slept a lot more peacefully. Apart from thinking about Hara from time to time, he had almost no other thoughts.In the deep sleep, a sound from outside the house gradually entered the room.

There was a sound of nature like a blue bird returning home.

"Your eyes are the torches of knowledge...

"Your complexion is molten gold...

"Your heart is a tall wishing tree...

"You grant every wish, you have mercy on fallen souls, you rescue me from the darkest ignorance...

"When will you allow me to take shelter under your lotus feet? My respected teacher...my...precious person..."

That ethereal singing sound lingered in his ears again, which was the reason for waking him up...

He had heard this song before, although he still couldn't say its name, but the familiar melody sounded again, and he immediately remembered the girl, Fei Tian.It's a pity that Yiren has gone. When he went to the Ganges to play, he secretly wished Feitian that he could live happily in the sky.Unexpectedly, I could hear this beautiful song again...

When he opened his sleepy eyes, he finally realized the source of the singing. The silver bell-like voice came from the girls in the courtyard. It turns out that the saints in this temple can sing?

……

After Dasha got up, they were still active in the backyard. Among the many girls, Dasha only knew Luo Ya, and it was inconvenient for him to walk around, so he stood by the door with a wooden stick and looked casually. The girls were not rehearsing Instead of singing and dancing, they are washing clothes and doing handicrafts for their own entertainment.

Luo Ya quickly found him, greeted the sisters, and ran over to greet him, "Dasha? You woke up very early today. It seems that your foot injury is recovering well."

He looked at Luo Ya who had a bright smile on his face, and his mood suddenly became much brighter, with a stretched smile on his face, "I couldn't help but come out when I heard the singing."

Luo Ya nodded, turned around and went to wash clothes again, "Okay, then you can bask in the sun over there."

Seeing that she was too busy to talk to her, Dasha couldn't help admiring again, "Your song is really nice..."

Luo Ya laughed out loud, "Hehe, Dasha, do you want to learn this song too? We girls only sing it."

At this time, a few middle-aged male monks walked out of the small door leading to the backyard. They were all very luxuriously dressed. They should be the elders of the Brahmins, followed by a few middle-aged saintesses. Only then did Dasha realize The people living in this courtyard are all young girls.As soon as they came, the saintesses in the yard gathered in front of them one after another, and Luo Ya also hurried over. A group of girls kneeled neatly, but the smiles on their faces were no longer so happy, but tinged with sadness.

Several elders pointed at the girls, and after a while, they selected a few girls to take away. After they dispersed, the other sisters could no longer laugh, and some still hugged each other and cried. Roya was also crying.Seeing this situation, Dasha, who was quietly watching from the side, also hurried forward. It was very inconvenient for him to walk.

"Woooooooo..."

Dasha came to Luo Ya's side, but he squatted down, but he didn't know how to comfort the girl.He patted Luo Ya's trembling shoulder, "Please don't cry, what happened just now?"

She broke down and cried, and it took a long time to hold back her tears, "That's my good sister, I don't want to see her being chosen... woo..."

Halfway through the speech, Luo Ya was so choked up that she couldn't continue speaking.

"Why? Was it taken to do something?..." Dasha was a little at a loss, busy looking for the handkerchief he was carrying, and also concerned about the reason for their distress.

Luo Ya smiled bitterly while shedding tears, "Dasha, you won't understand, our saintesses are only able to serve the elders... In fact, I have been selected many times. They are all inhuman torture. Hehe..."

He was stunned.No wonder, that's why Su Mo told him, fortunately he was a boy?Because he had never experienced it and would not understand it, even though he felt sympathy and pain in his heart, he could not express it well, so he had to hand out the handkerchief.

Luo Ya was stunned, and after taking the handkerchief, she forced a smile on her sad face.She took a deep breath and calmed down a lot.

In order to calm Luo Ya's mood, Dasha has been watching them busy in the yard, to see if there is anything he can do to help, but Luo Ya doesn't let him do things with his injuries, let him sit and rest.Half a day passed, and the girls' work was almost over.

Luo Ya's sad face had disappeared, and she came over to thank Dasha for his company all afternoon, "Go back and rest first, Dasha."

Dasha nodded, "It seems that I didn't see Sumo today..."

Then I remembered that no one came to give him medicine today.

Without thinking, Luo Ya blurted out: "Master Su Mo went to see Miss Xunxiang today."

"Sister Xunxiang, it's..." Dasha was a little curious.

Luo Ya rolled her eyes and said gossipingly, "She is Master Su Mo's childhood sweetheart..."

Dasha seemed to have never known anything about Sumo, but he had received so much help from Sumo. Thinking of it, he was still a little bit uncomfortable, and he murmured, "That's right."

"They are a pair of Bi people. It's a pity..." Luo Ya continued to say a few words, but just as she was about to eloquent, she saw Su Mo coming in from the back door of the yard. She was a little flustered, if Knowing that she talks about these things behind her back, she will definitely be taught a lesson.

"Lord Sumo, you're here... Dasha, I'll go to work first." Luo Ya hurriedly carried away the basin of laundry she had washed, bowed her head and left from Sumo's side.

Su Mo seems to have heard Luo Ya talking about him, and he doesn't want to let Dasha know about it.He looked at Dasha coldly, "Go back to the house, I will give you medicine."

After entering the house, Su Mo said first, "I'm going to the palace tomorrow, and I'll ask Luo Ya to help you with the medicine."

"Okay... It's too much trouble for you, I, how can I repay you in the future..." Dasha laughed guiltily.

"No need, as long as you go to Galore with me." Su Mo's tone was extraordinarily indifferent, maybe it was because he was a little dissatisfied when he heard Dasha and Luoya talking in the yard.

He gave Dasha medicine as usual, and didn't talk much.

When it was over, Dasha hesitated and said, "By the way, Sumo, you are going to the palace...can you..."

Before finishing the rest of the sentence, perhaps because he stuttered too much, Su Mo didn't want to listen anymore, so he interrupted: "I have something to do today, so I'm leaving first. You should have a good rest."

Dasha nodded honestly.

He just wanted Sumo to speak for him, but he was too embarrassed to say it... Seeing that the day Sumo planned to leave was getting closer, would he still have a chance to see Hara again?

……

The next day, Bangard Castle.

Su Mo entered the meeting room of the main hall calmly, and Prince Hara who was waiting for him had an extremely ugly face, and asked straight to the point, "Where is the floating building?"

Su Mo smiled inexplicably, as if he didn't understand what was going on.

Haruo's face was dark, and his whole body exuded hostility.After several days of searching, most of the city was completely searched, but there was no trace of the floating building.The places that have not been searched yet are only the temples of the Brahman elders, and they suspect Sumo. As a Brahmin follower, Sumo is also a celebrity in front of the king and the successor of the national teacher. As a human being, his status cannot be underestimated, and it also makes others helpless.

The ethereal friendship between him and Fulou was also the reason why Hara was once angry.When Hara calmed down, he concluded that Fulou was taken away by him, and Naga also had the same opinion, which further deepened Hara's judgment.In the end, they firmly believed that Su Mo was the one who took Fulou away. No wonder he didn't show up in the palace for several days, so he must be staying with Fulou.

Now the emperor has not pursued the disappearance of the floating building, but he still can't let it go, he must find it.

Su Mo walked up to Haruo calmly, with a hidden smile on his lips, "Your Highness, if you want to find him, you should at least know his name."

"He really is with you—?" Haruo snorted coldly.

The opening atmosphere was so stiff that Naga hiccupped immediately.

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, "So what?"

"If you don't bring him to me today—" Haruo looked at him mockingly, the scabbard around his waist was inexplicably restless, "I will completely destroy the temple you practiced in."

Naga took a step forward and was awkwardly sandwiched between the two of them, "Hara, calm down, you will..."

"Shut up!" Hara's strength just pushed Naga away and approached Sumo's slender body. No matter how you look at it, he was aggressive and the atmosphere was stiff. "Father has promised not to impose capital punishment. He There's no need to hide from me anymore."

Su Mo smiled and looked at him without moving, "Your Highness, he is just an innocent commoner now, why are you so persistent in getting him?"

As expected, Haruo gritted his teeth and fell silent.

Su Mo observed Haruo's angry expression with interest, crossed his arms, raised his fingertips and stroked his chin, "Oh? Your Highness means that you should still cherish each other like that. But I don't think so."

"you……"

The air was as frozen as an iceberg, and Su Mo's chuckle broke the deadlock again.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to give you." He took out a token in his arms, "He asked me to return it to you."

Haruo stared at it unnaturally, his eyes couldn't help trembling, his hand was still in the air, and he hesitated to take it.

Naga glanced at it and gasped.The thing in Sumo's hand was the transparent bracelet that Fulou wore on his hand. Haruo also had the same one. He threw it into the lotus pond the day before yesterday in a fit of anger. It took the servants a whole day to finally find it. .

It seems that the floating building is really by Su Mo's side, otherwise he would not be able to own this thing.

As if he had suffered a huge blow, Hara sneered at himself.He took a few steps back and said in a concentrated voice, "Where is he? Is he hidden in the temple by you?"

"Hiding?" Su Mo pretended not to understand, "If I don't hide, he may not want to see you."

It was obvious that he had received a painful blow, and Haruo's expression was extremely unnatural, and others could clearly hear his gnashing of teeth.

Naga sighed and took up the conversation instead of Hara. He persuaded, "Soma, don't make sarcastic remarks anymore, just let them meet once."

Doesn't Su Mo know that the little prince is going crazy?

Su Mo described lightly: "He is living a good life now, there is no need to be entangled with His Highness."

"Having a good life? With you?" Haruo couldn't help shouting sharply, and the anger began to gather in his fists, "How could he have a good life?!"

"Look at the facts." Sumo approached Hara. He lightly grasped Hara's fist, which was as stiff as a stone, and let him stretch his fingers. Soon, the cold bracelet was stuffed into Hara's hand, like the last Hope is also broken.

Su Mo smiled, "Farewell."

Hara stared blankly at Sumo turning around, his hand became weak and the bracelet fell to the ground.

Naga quickly picked it up, and carefully checked whether it was broken, "Hara, calm down first, Sumo may have said that deliberately to annoy you."

If it was a floating building, would Sumo really be able to return the token of love to Hara?He is so considerate, no matter what, he will keep it as a souvenir.

How could Naga's consolation be useful?It is far from healing the disappointment and pain caused by this bracelet.

……

……

Rainy.

The cart horses whined in the night rain.It has been raining everywhere recently, and the air is very dull, just like a person's mood.

It was also tonight that Su Mo wanted to take Dasha away overnight.They were placed in a carriage and waited at the gate of the temple for the coachman to drive over.

The few parcels were delivered to the carriage, and Dasha was sitting anxiously in the carriage, with the sound of drizzle dripping outside the small window, his mood couldn't get any better.Obviously, I was so looking forward to going back to my hometown before, why am I so happy now?He clenched his fingers, trying to calm himself down.

Su Mo lifted the front curtain and got into the car. He sat opposite Dasha. This unremarkable little carriage was a bit low for his stature.He asked, "Dasha, is it convenient to sit like this?"

Dasha responded blankly, "Fortunately..."

Su Mo could see what was on his mind, but he would never bring it up, and just casually comforted him: "Don't worry, we will be there soon. Let's start as soon as possible while the traffic is open in these two days."

Dasha's mind was in a mess, he didn't expect to leave so soon, his foot injury has not fully recovered, and he still needs crutches, why is he in such a hurry.

"Royal family, are you no longer tracking down my whereabouts?..."

When he asked this question, he still had a little hope that Hara would come to him, but these were just his extravagant hopes.How could that proud person give up his face to see him, they should have broken up long ago.

Su Mo said, "That's right."

The sound of rain continued, and the complex was difficult to break.The carriage set off, and it didn't take long to reach the outskirts of the city.Originally, there was no sound other than their carriage, but suddenly there was a group of hoofbeats from behind, as if a group of people were chasing them on horseback, running so fast.Dasha peeked out the window, because it was raining, it was too dark to see clearly, but he could feel a faint light behind him.The group of people are walking with lamps...

Su Mo sat on the front of the carriage, poked his head out and asked the driver, "...what's going on?"

The coachman was drenched all over his body. Even though he was wearing a raincoat, his face was covered with water droplets. It seemed that it was very difficult to travel at night. "Lord Sumo, it seems to be the royal army..."

Dasha moved his body, and when he heard words such as the royal family, he began to feel uneasy, "Yes, are you here to hunt me down?"

Seeing that the movement of the group of people and horses was getting louder and louder, as if they were going to surround them, feeling the pressure from behind, the pony pulling the cart seemed to be frightened, the carriage jolted violently under its tumult, and Dasha on the cart also fell from his seat. Down.

The coachman finally tightened the reins, and the carriage stopped in the turmoil.

The group of horseshoes also slowed down, and gradually surrounded them, Dasha couldn't help poking his head, but was pulled back by Sumo, he said solemnly: "Stay here, don't make a sound, don't worry about me. "

Dasha nodded, and he sat down obediently, because the shaking just now made his ankle a little painful again.

Somo got out of the car alone, and in front of him was a group of warriors with swords. He guessed why. Under the yellow light of the paper lantern, Somo was very calm.

The group of horses made way for the people behind, and an impressive white horse came out of it.

After clapping his hands, Su Mo looked up at the owner of the white horse, "Prince Hara, you are really persistent."

Under the drenched cloak, Hara asked coldly, "Who is in the carriage?"

Su Mo looked at him calmly, the smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be sarcastic.

Haruo sneered, and added: "If you don't speak, I will kill you here."

I also knew that he couldn't do it, Hara just acted too much, Sumo laughed lightly, "If you kill me here, Prince Hara, you will never find him again."

Haruo turned his head and ordered to the knight beside him, "Go up and search—"

Dasha was the only one left in the car, and he heard their conversation clearly, and his spine kept shivering.

It turned out that Hara brought people to track him down, so why didn't Sumo tell him?Could it be that they still wanted to take him back and put him in prison, so Su Mo wanted to take him away earlier...

Sumo took a step forward and just stopped the man's horse. He stared at Hara, "Prince Hara, do you dare to move my carriage? Have you forgotten what the master of the state taught you since childhood?"

He asked seriously, but Haruo's eyes were full of disdain. His hands were on the scabbard around his waist, and cold raindrops fell from between his brows. "Then you will only die."

Hara's voice was dark and frightening.

The person in the carriage finally couldn't bear to fidget, he staggered out of the carriage, desperately trying to stop this.

"...No! No way!"

The drizzle pierced his face like tiny thorns. Dasha looked at everything in front of him in a panic. When he got out of the car, he found Su Mo standing there unharmed. Su Mo looked at him in shock , Fingers clasped tightly into the flesh.

"...No, no, don't kill him, kill him."

Dasha couldn't stand still. He lay down at Sumo's feet and begged the aloof Prince Hara for mercy.He didn't dare to stand up, not only because of the unbearable pain from his foot injury, but also because of his low status now, he couldn't lift his head up in front of Hara, he didn't dare to look at him.

Haruo's eyes trembled, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.

It turned out that he was really in Su Mo's car.

It's like Fulou betrayed himself and was caught again. He was obviously a sinner, but he kept thinking about it, but he ran away with others and returned the bracelet to him...

His earlier worries dissipated.As Haruo thought, Fulou would rather be with this person than see him?The scene in front of him confirmed everything, and his heart was sour.

Haruo disdainfully glanced at the embarrassed man in the rain, with awkward jealousy in his tone, "I won't really kill him, why are you so impatient to protect him?"

Suma has the honorable Brahman status, if he is killed, Hara will not be able to wash away his sins.I didn't expect to let the floating building appear automatically by threatening me casually. Didn't I hide and refuse to see it before?Jealousy breeds like crazy.

"What..." Dasha didn't understand what he was going to express, and just flinched back, but he knew that there was no way to escape, would he be arrested soon?

Su Mo knelt down and held Dasha in his arms. He asked pitifully, "Didn't you be told to stay in the carriage and not get off? Do your feet hurt?"

"I'm sorry, I don't hurt..." Dasha shook his head, his frightened expression seemed to be driven by Hara.

Haruo saw it, and suddenly felt inexplicably annoyed.He couldn't hide the contempt from the corner of his mouth, and said, "You're an untouchable, don't pretend to be like a holy monk all day long. Look at the way you are colluding with him now—where are you going?"

He asked sarcastically, Dasha bowed his head in silence, the raindrops drooped his eyelashes, covering half of his vision.

Before Dasha could see Haruo's face clearly, Haruo turned his horse's head and coldly ordered the passing guards: "Take him away, don't worry about Sumo."

Two people got off their horses immediately, trying to catch Dasha away.As soon as they approached and pulled him, Dasha couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain.

"what!"

Su Mo said solemnly, "His leg is broken."

However, the two men glanced at each other, but they couldn't understand it in the end. They forcefully lifted Dashala up, and then casually threw him on the back of a certain horse.

As the rain continued, Su Mo rubbed the drops of water on his forehead and watched the group of people leave in disappointment.

Unexpectedly, Prince Hara attached great importance to Dasha far beyond his imagination. Was his prediction wrong...

How could such a proud prince really like a commoner?

Dasha was like a puppet off the line, paralyzed on horseback. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they came to an unknown courtyard. He had never been here before, and it was hard to see where it was in the drizzling night. .

Soon, someone dragged him off his horse and put him in a damp room.

Hara asked outside the door: "What happened to his foot? Is it really broken?"

The guard who threw Dasha in said blankly, "I don't know..."

When Haruo walked to the door, Dasha still fell on the ground. He was stained with mud and wet all over. He looked more than embarrassed, and he was completely different from the clean and clean person before. Sinned and wounded.

Dasha looked up at him, and seeing Hara's cold face, he lowered his head wearily again, "...you...are you going to kill me?"

"I won't kill you." He Luo said solemnly, "The national teacher said that you are the son of God, so he canceled your execution."

So... what are you doing here?

Where is this place?

Dasha glanced around and saw that it was an ordinary house, not to mention simple, but it seemed that no one lived in it for a long time, and there was an unpleasant smell here.It seems that Haruo wants to settle him here, he sighed in his heart, this is the place suitable for his identity, it is normal to come here, otherwise why not take him to the palace?

He took a step towards Hara's feet, as if he wanted to say something.

Haruo glanced at him lightly, and walked out without looking back.
