Miss Zashiki

Fu Xiaoyue just sat head to head with Shu Zhu like this, the topic was endless, and the chat was whatever it was, but the other party suddenly stood up while chatting.

Fu Xiaoyue sat on the same spot and looked up at her blankly: "What...you are leaving now? Aren't you also insomnia? You just want to sleep after a while?"

——It was agreed to cultivate immortals together, but you went to sleep alone?

——She still plans to chat with her until dawn...

Hearing the words, Shuzhu immediately cut a tone of disdain:

"Who told you that I have insomnia? Insomnia is something that only the weak will do. I hope you know."

Fu Xiaoyue suddenly choked in his throat, and stared at her slightly: "...I'll give you three seconds to reorganize your words!"

The counting bead girl sneered at it, and said in a clear voice without changing her face and without hesitation: "Insomnia is the only thing—"

"All right!"

Fu Xiaoyao simply raised his hand and interrupted her words:

"I have nothing to say about an unrepentant player like you—then I would like to ask, since you are not insomnia, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? Popularizing Buddhism with flowers and plants? Talking to the moon and stars Intrigue? Or are you fighting wits with the air?"

Facing Fu Xiaoyue who kept saying nothing, but ended up talking a lot, the bead-counting girl shook her head slightly, as if she was too lazy to talk to her, and after lightly saying "idiot", she got up and turned towards her. Go to the exit path of the gazebo.

Fu Xiaoyue looked at her back going away, feeling annoyed in his heart—what a heartless little bastard!Fortunately, she tried every means to comfort her just now!It ended up being used up and thrown away!

I don't know if it was because of the deep resentment in her heart that caused some substantive pressure, but Shuzhu's back, who didn't miss her head and didn't look back, actually stopped at the end of this path!

Fu Xiaoyue watched her stop in amazement, waited for a few seconds but didn't see her turn around and walk back, just continued to stand there still, only then did she realize something was wrong, and leaned forward slightly to look over——

In the next second, she shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.

Standing in front of Comrade Shuzhu, the three figures at the corner of the alley seemed to be the drug seller Slick Ghost and Huakaiyuan Xiuyuan!

——When did the three of them appear?

Fu Xiaoyue sat there stiffly, not daring to take a breath.

Although I tried my best to keep telling myself-"I didn't sleep in the middle of the night? I didn't eat their rice!"

But Fu Xiaoyue still had a subtle guilty conscience in his heart similar to "the Internet cafe was caught by the parents on the spot all night".

And, not sure if it was her illusion, just a few tenths of a second after she poked her head out, she seemed to see the gaze of a certain onmyoji, quickly darting over here.

Fu Xiao held his breath yesterday and listened attentively to the voice over there—it generally sounded like the barrier behind the mountain was coming to an end, and tonight was in the final confirmation stage. I'm leaving here and going back to Kyoto.

After such a short time, the few of them seem to have reached the end of their chat.

Onmyoji's voice was heard from such a distance, and there was a hint of teasing that made people's fingers tickle: "Your Excellency has been watching here 'alone' until late at night. It is really admirable. You have worked hard."

——Added a bit of stress to the word "alone".

Nuliang Huapiao lazily yawned, and continued: "It's hard work. I see the gazebo in front of you, surrounded by wind and water, surrounded by flowers and plants. It's a beautiful thing to sit in and watch the night view~ "

Sitting alone in the gazebo, Fu Xiaoyue: "..."

——These two yin and yang crosstalk actors!He knows how to sing oboe all day long!

The bead-counting girl crossed her arms and said coldly, "Stop talking nonsense, get out of here if you have nothing else to do, and it's best not to see you again in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves, and walked away arrogantly.

The rest of the comic dialogue duo also seemed to lose interest due to sleepiness, and after a few casual greetings, they left one after another.

——So, there is probably only one person who has not made a sound from the beginning to the end...?

Fu Xiaoyue tried hard to distinguish the information from the other side according to the sound, but when he heard the silence, he couldn't help but start to struggle, whether he should probe out again to take a look at the situation.

——Could it be that the medicine seller didn't notice her?Didn't hear the code words of those two guys?Have already gone back to the room to sleep foolishly?

As soon as she developed such a fluke mentality that could be called self-deception, the slight sound of footsteps was slowly approaching along the path.

"..."

Wangtian mourned for himself for a second, and Fu Xiaoyue heard the footsteps gradually approaching, and tried to put on a reserved and serious state of sitting upright.

The medicine seller carried the huge medicine box on his back, and his steps were not in a hurry, stepping on the moonlight like water, and the soft sound of the wooden clogs touching the ground was very regular.He walked up the stairs slowly, walked into the pavilion, and finally stopped in front of her.

Then under the cool moonlight, the young man bent down slightly, looked at the slender figure sitting in the corner, and asked her softly:

"Why are you not sleeping yet?"

Fu Xiaoyue turned his head and snorted coldly: "I sleep when I want to sleep, and I don't sleep when I don't want to, can you control me?"

The drug seller didn't comment on the question of "whether it's manageable or not". He reached out to hug her, but stopped for a while, and finally untied the medicine box he was carrying, and then picked her up from the ground. Placed on the wall of the medicine box.

"It's late at night and the dew is heavy, just sitting on the ground like this, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Fu Xiaoyue sat on the box and kicked his legs, snorted again, his face full of dissatisfaction: "I'm a monster, why should I be afraid of catching cold? Or do you think I'm particularly useless because I've lost all my demon power? "

The drug seller sighed softly when he heard the words: "Who told you, the dog god is still the cat with nine lives."

"Is there any difference?"

Fu Xiaoyue frowned and glanced at him: "If the dog god doesn't tell me, why don't you sneak to the capital and tell us when you come back that you just lost your way outside for six days?"

Seeing her like this, the corners of the young man's thin mouth curled up slightly: "So, you are angry with me, so angry that you can't sleep?"

Fu Xiaoyue continued to speak bluntly: "I'm not angry. I just can't sleep."

"Hmm..." The drug seller groaned slightly, reached out to her, and made a gesture to pick her up from the box: "Do you need me to put you to sleep?"

"No!" Fu Xiaoyao immediately waved his hand ferociously, trying to slap his hand away.

——In the end, not only failed to shoot, but was caught instantly.

Gently stroking the soft skin between his wrists with slightly cool fingers, the drug seller asked her in a low voice: "What is this?"

——This is hooliganism!

Silently complaining about the other party's small movements, Fu Xiaoyue tried hard to resist the urge to shrink his wrist, and just curled his lips calmly: "The beads given by the counting beads... let me count them for fun."

The drug seller looked at the string of wooden beads lightly in his eyes: "Do you believe in Buddhism?"

"...I don't really believe it."

Fu Xiaoyue looked indifferent: "It just looks good on it, so I accept it."

Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at her quietly.After the two looked at each other silently for a while, there was a silent frown between the beautiful long eyebrows for no reason.

He suddenly said in a deep voice, "Give it back to her."

"……what?"

The hand holding her wrist did not let go, and the drug seller opened the medicine box drawer with his other hand.

The little balances who hadn't seen her for a long time flew out of it in groups, and rubbed her arms affectionately and coquettishly one by one.

The drug seller hooked his fingertips, took off the string of Buddhist beads on her wrist, threw it to Xiao Tianping, and ordered softly:

"Go back."

Seeing the faint golden light, obediently holding the string of Buddhist beads in his mouth, and walking away very flexibly, Fu Xiaoyue was a little stunned and couldn't react, and looked at him questioningly in a blink of an eye:

"...What are you doing?"

The expression on the drug seller's face was the same as usual, and he looked at her calmly: "This trip to Kyoto, you will go with me."

Fu Xiaoyue immediately blinked suspiciously, feeling a little strange: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"if not."

The drug seller raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you waiting here to count the bunch of things?"

"..." Fu Xiaoyue choked on his words.

- six days.

——Six prayer beads.

He saw through her little thoughts at a glance.

Fu Xiaoyue held on for a long time, but at this moment he let go, avoiding his gaze, and lowered his head.

"Fu Xiaoyesterday."

In Fu Xiaoyue's impression, the number of times the drug seller directly called her name couldn't be counted on one hand.After hearing it at this time, she couldn't help but her shoulders trembled slightly.

The drug seller's voice was slow and deep, still unable to detect any emotion: "I hope, you still remember what I said once."

"..." For a moment, Fu Xiaoyue felt like a student who was called up to answer questions in class.She furtively raised her eyelashes inexplicably nervously, glanced at him quickly, and asked uncertainly, "What are you talking about?"

"I told you - the prison of the mind is the cage."

——She remembers this sentence! ! !

Fu Xiaoyue first breathed a long sigh of relief, and then immediately felt a little dazed.

When she was still on Qiangwei Island, before entering Qiangwei Castle, she asked him—why was the vampire trapped by Zisu?Just because I don't like the taste, I always feel a little too far-fetched.

—That's what he answered her at the time.

If she remembered correctly, there was another half sentence after that.

Under the gaze of those quiet and stable eyes, Fu Xiaoyue went on softly:

"...where the mind resides, it is the city."

The drug seller stretched out his hand to gently rub her hair, and in his voice, there was an illusion of softness: "Yeah."

Fu Xiaoyue pursed his lips slightly: "Are you telling me not to get into a dead end?"

"I want to ask you to trust your own heart and trust me."

The drug seller held her wrist and moved down slightly, took her fingers together, and told her in a low voice: "No matter where you go, my side is where you return and stay."
