[Lu Xiaofeng] Beside the flowers and the willows

frank

Liu Mogui has always been a very lively girl, but in the past few days, she has become more and more silent every day - during the day, she keeps on driving, and if she stays in an inn in a town at night, she will be locked up alone. Enter the room to rest, if sleeping in the wild, just quietly hug A-Gump and stare at the sky in a daze, and then fall asleep in silence.

——Every time this time comes, she always curls up unconsciously in her sleep, and her whole body is tightly curled up into a ball.

Hua Manlou became more and more distressed, and several times the words came to his lips, wanting to ask her what happened, but he was used to being gentle and considerate, never asking for secrets that others were unwilling to answer, every time after hesitating, he would end up asking her again. He swallowed the words, and just stayed beside her thoughtfully, waiting for her to speak.

Because the little girl was in a hurry along the way, she rarely stopped except at night. When the two arrived at Qingyan in Qinling Mountains, it was two or three days earlier than expected.After buying enough water and dry food in the city, the two went into the mountain together.

The road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and it is difficult to walk an inch on horseback, so the two of them abandoned their horses without hesitation and walked on foot, stepping through every inch of land in the mountains, searching carefully.

A month later, there was not much dry food left, and the mountain had been trampled all over, but there was still no trace of the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

Liu Mogui has never been out of the valley, but her master has taught her about the institutions outside the valley. She is confident that if the Valley of Thousand Flowers is really in this mountain, she will be able to find it.However, in the past month, apart from sleeping and searching without rest, there is still no trace, as if this continuous mountain range is just a mountain, nothing else.

Sure enough... still can't go back?The owner of the valley, the master and the senior brothers...will they really never see each other again?The little girl bit her lip and walked forward in a daze, but she didn't notice the steep mountain road under her feet. When she stepped on the ground, she fell forward.Hua Manlou was taken aback, but fortunately he reacted quickly, he reached out and grabbed the little girl's wrist almost at the same time and pulled back forcefully, but the little girl who was pulled back couldn't stop the car and hit the car immediately. his chest.

In the past, the little girl would have rubbed her forehead pitifully and screamed, but now, she just pursed her lips and said nothing.

Hua Manlou was so nervous that his forehead was sweating, he pulled the little girl and asked repeatedly: "Ah Mo, how are you? Does it hurt?"

"I'm fine," the little girl shook her head and said softly, "It doesn't hurt."

"Is Ah Mo tired?" Hua Manlou stretched out his hand and rubbed her forehead with just the right amount of strength, "Shall we take a rest?"

The little girl shook her head: "No need to rest, I'm not tired."

If you are not tired, how can you step on the air?Hua Manlou sighed silently, but knowing that she was in a hurry to go home, she didn't try to persuade her any further. After a little hesitation, she suddenly touched the top of her head and said, "Then Ah Mo, shall I carry you?"

"No, no need!" The little girl shook her head hastily, "I'm not tired, I'm really not tired! I can walk by myself, you..."

"Ah Mo," Hua Manlou interrupted her, and there was an undeniable strength in her gentle voice, "Ah Mo, don't make me worry."

Liu Mogui was startled, and raised his head to look at him - after traveling around for so long, he was still so clear and gentle, standing there quietly, so gentle that it almost made her cry.

Hua Manlou turned around and squatted down:

"Ah Mo, come."

Liu Mogui bit his lip, and finally walked over, lying on Huamanlou's back.Hua Manlou picked up the little girl on her back and continued walking steadily.

Hua Manlou's back was so wide and warm, and she lay on his back, as if she didn't have to worry about anything, and she didn't have to be afraid, which gave her the illusion that no matter what happened, he would stand in front of her and protect her.

If Huamanlou hadn't been met after leaving Ten Thousand Flowers Valley inexplicably, what would she be like now?She couldn't imagine it!He was so kind to her, but she had been lying to him all this time, and made him work so hard... Tears finally couldn't be held back anymore, and big ones fell down.

"The building is full of flowers, that's enough, stop, don't look for it anymore, you can't find it, you can't find it again, don't waste any more time, I... have no home, no more."

The little girl was lying on his back, teardrops rolled into his collar one by one, the temperature was so hot that it almost burned his neck, Hua Manlou paused at the foot, some did not understand why the little girl suddenly cried Her heart almost clenched into a ball following her trembling and crying voice, but she still comforted her softly with a good temper:

"No, I will find it soon, Ah Mo will be home soon."

"I can't find it..." The little girl choked up and shook her head, repeating over and over again, "It's useless, I can't find it anymore..."

"Why can't you find it? Did Ah Mo forget? I promised that I would definitely send you home."

As soon as Hua Manlou finished speaking, the little girl suddenly cried even more fiercely. The soft sniffling gradually turned into howling.Hua Manlou stopped in her tracks, and stood there in a daze, not knowing what she said wrong, nor how to comfort the little girl in front of her.

After a long time, the little girl may have had enough crying at noon, she gradually stopped crying by sniffing her nose, wiped the tears all over her face with her sleeve, and said softly: "Huamanlou, let me down."

The little girl's voice was a bit hoarse because of the previous cry, Hua Manlou's heart trembled, he hesitated for a moment, but she still put her down as promised, took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, and moved gently and smoothly. Wipe her face carefully.

The little girl raised her head, stared at his gentle eyebrows for a long time, then suddenly spoke again:

"Hua Man Lou, do you know? My birthday is the 24th year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty, and the moment before I saw you was the 11th year of Tianbao."

Hua Manlou's hand immediately stopped, and he froze in place.

"My home is the Ten Thousand Flowers Valley in Tang Dynasty—so it's useless to search for it now, I can't find it. I can never go home again."

The little girl gently pushed his hand away, slowly squatted down, hugged her knees, buried her head in her knees, and curled up tightly into a ball: "Hua Man Lou, I'm sorry, I lied to you." You, I made you fail to fulfill the promise. But I lied to you, this promise does not count! You go back, although... Although I lied to you, can you not void the other things you promised me? Don't forget me, okay? You are the first friend I made, I..."

After the little girl spoke, the tears that had finally stopped fell down again uncontrollably, and her words became incoherent... She didn't even know what she was talking about at all, but she felt that she couldn't find a home so she finally Giving up on her heart, cheating Hua Manlou made her almost overwhelmed by guilt and panic, but she suddenly fell into a warm embrace when she was flustered, so gentle and reassuring.

"Ah Mo," Hua Manlou also squatted down, and hugged the little girl tightly into his arms, "I'm sorry, I never knew that you were... so difficult."

No wonder her face changed drastically when Dazhi Datong talked about the Anshi Rebellion. No wonder she cried over and over again that she had no home after being drunk. No wonder she kept asking herself if she would definitely send her home... A 16-year-old, A girl who has never left home and has been carefully protected by her family all of a sudden suddenly arrives alone in a strange dynasty hundreds of years later. How scared, uneasy, and terrified should she be?The little girl has always been so strong and endured everything alone...

"Ah Mo, Ah Mo," Hua Manlou sat down on the ground in a rare disregard for his appearance, carefully hugged the little girl into his arms, raised the little girl's head gently but could not help but refuse, "Ah Mo, look at me."

The little girl raised her head while sniffing, tears blurred her vision, but Hua Manlou's eyes were exceptionally clear, she couldn't see anything, but for some reason she had a feeling of "he is talking to her" vision" illusion.

Hua Manlou wiped away her tears, and said softly, "Ah Mo, I'm sorry, I failed to fulfill my promise."

"No!" The little girl shook her head violently, "I lied to you first, I..."

"Ah Mo, listen to me." Hua Manlou patted her head, her expression became more gentle, "I promised to send you home but I failed. I owe you a home. You will never be without a home. If you Yes, Baihualou is your home, and I am your family."

The little girl in her arms was shocked, and her eyes widened all of a sudden: "Huamanlou..."

Hua Manlou patted her on the back reassuringly, and hugged her even tighter: "Ah Mo, don't be afraid, you don't have to be afraid anymore, I am also your family, you can tell me anything, Leave it to me, okay?"

The little girl looked up at him, stretched out her hand tentatively and hesitantly, and gently hugged his waist.After hesitating for a while, he finally buried his face in his arms, and replied tremblingly, "Okay."

Then there was a burst of crying, as if to vent all the fear, anxiety and helplessness in my heart for so many days.Hua Manlou hugged her, patted her on the back rhythmically like coaxing a child, his face was full of distress, but his whole body was full of gentleness.
