Forest Kindergarten

Ye Kong sat down under the porch of the water pavilion, the ebony floor and pillars were polished smooth and flat, glowing faintly, like a deep and calm lake under a moonlit night without wind or rain.

The roof, which is also made of ebony, extends a lot outwards, and the corners of the eaves are slightly upturned, connecting with the maple trees on the hill.Climbing plants cover the entire roof, and red flowers in the shape of a five-pointed star are scattered, accompanied by large green leaves, hanging from the eaves.

Life should bloom like this. The brocade called red silk grass climbed down the steps to the porch, and stopped only half a step away from the interior of the water pavilion. The small and tender tendrils worshiped the ground, not daring to go one step further.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Ye Kong asked softly, there was even an echo in the quiet space, "What did you ask me to do?"

No one answered him.

He took off his shoes and walked into the water pavilion. The cold wooden floor was very hard.

There are thin bamboo curtains hanging under the eaves. There are two wooden doors on the left and right. There is a huge circular decoration in the middle of the wooden doors.

"Muyueyuan", lotus wood carvings, could this be the home of Lian Pei during his lifetime?Or is it just an illusion?

"Muyue?" Ye Kong yelled, and the pond outside the water pavilion made a soft splash, and the golden koi just swam to the shore.

Ye Kong walked over, and the golden koi spit out a string of bubbles in the water and came out of the water, as if wanting him to touch itself.

Before the slender fingers touched the koi, a bell suddenly sounded from behind. It seemed to be inside the water pavilion, and it seemed to be far away in the sky. The lingering sound was melodious.

On the other side of the waterside pavilion, a person appeared at some time, stepped onto the waterside pavilion with the hem of his robe, and walked towards Ye Kong.

Ye Kong stood up, and the golden koi swung its tail a few times in circles in the water, trying to attract his attention.

The visitor was wearing a moonlight robe with a platinum brocade belt around his waist, and his long hair was draped behind his head.He is tall and tall, with a handsome face, and his temperament is as noble as the moon, and his whole body is covered with a faint halo.

He didn't seem to be walking, and he came to Ye Kong in an instant. Ye Kong stood in the corridor and looked at him, and blurted out: "Are you Mu Yue?"

"Well, I am." Mu Yue replied.

"Why don't you go to Lianpei?" Ye Kong said straightforwardly.

Mu Yue: "I'm trapped in this monastery and can't get out, that's why I asked you to come, Ye Kong, please help me get out."

Ye Kong: "You know me?"

Mu Yue: "Of course I know. Although I can't go out, I can see everything outside. How did you and Lian Pei know each other? Who is in the forest kindergarten? I know everything about Zongshan and Liye. .”

Ye Kong was a little flustered, then he must have seen himself kissing Lianpei too...

The man in front of him was extremely cold, and his eyes were as cold as ice and snow, colder than Lian Pei.Ye Kong felt that when he looked at anyone, any animal or even plant, he had this kind of look.

Is he Lian Pei's lover?

"How can I help you out?"

Mu Yue suddenly stretched out her hand, and pointed her right index finger on his chest: "You stay here instead of me. I will let you out when I find a way."

Ye Kong was stunned, and asked in silence for a while, "Who is Lian Pei?"

Mu Yue turned around, put her hands behind her back in her wide sleeves: "He is my lover. He was a businessman. After making some money, we lived in seclusion at the foot of Zongshan Mountain together. One day he came into the mountain And never came back after that..."

This is similar to what Ye Kong guessed, and he asked again: "What about you? Are you dead?"

Mu Yue: "Yes, people are born, old, sick and die, and no one can escape..."

"Then how did you get stuck here?"

Mu Yue seemed a little impatient, and sighed: "In order to find him, I used some ancient methods. The price was that I was trapped in this illusion and could not re-enter reincarnation. But now I have a way to get out, I need Your help. Ye Kong, you and Lian Pei are good friends, you won't bear to see your friend living in confusion about the past, will you?"

Ye Kong really couldn't bear it, Lian Pei was trapped in the mountains alone for so long, no memory, no body, under the arrogant character, in fact, was occupied by fragility and loneliness.Whenever he thinks of these, he feels heartache.

Mu Yue continued: "Besides, you're just staying here for a while instead of me. When I help Lian Pei recover his memory and come back, then you can go out."

Seeing that Ye Kong's heart softened, Mu Yue struck while the iron was hot: "I beg you to help me and Lian Pei, I can't hold on for long, if I don't go out, we will both be trapped here."

Ye Kong remained silent.

Mu Yue: "You don't want to? Didn't you always want to help Lian Pei regain her memory?"

Ye Kong shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just..."

"Just what?" Mu Yue's tone was a little impatient.

"It's just... I need to say hello to Lianpei and the children. If they disappear suddenly, they will be worried." Teacher Xiaokong touched his nose and said.

If Lian Pei regained his memory and found his lover, then if he appeared in front of him again, he wondered if they could still be like this.

so?

What kind?

Even though he has been suppressing his feelings, a corner of his heart is still looking forward to...

This pinpoint-sized expectation is now like a huge boulder, pressing down on his left chest with a dull pain.

"..." Mu Yue frowned invisibly, and then said, "I can help you take the message out. Don't worry, you helped me and Lian Pei, we will all be grateful to you."

gratitude.I don't want any gratitude.Ye Kong thought to himself, but still nodded subconsciously: "Okay, I will stay instead of you."

These words seemed to sign a contract, and as soon as he finished speaking, the greenery in his eyes turned into light and enveloped Mu Yue's whole body, and disappeared together with that person in an instant.

The whole world fell silent.Red, yellow, and more green maple leaves fell to the ground.

Ye Kong sat blankly on the porch, watching the fallen leaves in the pool ripple, and the golden koi topped with a piece of red maple and surfaced.

"What am I doing?" Ye Kong asked, his extremely soft voice easily filled the entire temple.

He raised his hand to reach the thin bamboo curtain, and gently moved it.

In his life, no matter how unsatisfactory he is, there are seldom times when he is down.He is the oldest in the orphanage, taking care of his younger siblings, helping the teacher and the dean are things he can do at a very young age.

What he got in return for his continuous dedication was the well-behaved and sensible younger siblings, and the praise from the principal and teacher. He likes this kind of fulfilling and needed life.

"What am I doing?" he repeated, the branches and vines trembling slightly, absorbing his words.

Wherever he is, he is surrounded by people, and being needed by people seems to be his value, and he has long been used to putting others before himself.

Without relatives, he regards the children and teachers in the orphanage as relatives to make up for his missing love.

Apart from these few buildings and the ubiquitous green plants in the temple, there is nothing else, and it seems that even time does not exist.Ye Kong didn't feel sleepy, nor hungry, neither cold nor hot.

He was lying on the ebony floor, thinking about his past, and he didn't know how long it took before he stood up.

He didn't bother to put on his shoes, so he stepped directly on the soft thick moss that had absorbed enough water, and walked to the edge of the pool.

The golden koi floated to the surface and swam in the pool like a puppy circling and coquettish.

Ye Kong thought it was funny, and touched his pocket, wanting to see if there were biscuits and other things to feed it. He always carried these homemade snacks with him, and the cubs could take them out and feed them when they were hungry.

After touching it all over, he found a few soft and delicate things at the bottom of the right pocket, and when he took it out, it turned out to be two small white daisies.

Although he didn't know when it was stuffed in, he knew that it was Lianpei who put it in.

At this moment, he was so wronged that he wanted to cry.

Among the many rewards he has reaped, only this bouquet of small white daisies, sunflowers in large flower pots, blue-purple, and pale pink wildflowers made him palpitate, and greedily wanted more from Lian Pei.

"What the hell am I doing?" The greenery was so lush that it filled the entire space, his mind was a little blank, he squatted on the revetment stone by the pool in a daze, and the koi swam over, opening and closing its mouth.

Ye Kong held the little daisy in his hand, and stretched out his other hand towards the koi.

When there was still some distance, the koi suddenly jumped out of the water and bit his finger.

Ye Kong felt his fingertips being sucked by it, and the next second the koi carp turned into a human form, a woman in a golden brocade robe, kneeling on the shore, with her head on the revetment stone: "Master."

"..." Ye Kong had been immersed in melancholy and depression, but suddenly the fish landed and turned into a human, which really left him no time to worry about the spring and autumn.

"Get up quickly." Fortunately, the kindergarten is full of little beast monsters that can transform, so he is no stranger to it, "What's your name?"

The koi raised its head and replied, "Master, don't you remember me? I'm Xiaoyuan."

Ye Kong helped her up and said with a smile, "Don't call me master. Although I've been trapped here for so long, this is the first time we two have spoken. I'm not your master."

Xiaoyuan looked at him innocently with big almond eyes, and pouted: "Is the master refusing to recognize me? Xiaoyuan has been trapped in Muyueyuan for 100 years, and she doesn't want to see the master all the time. I can't remember the other things clearly. , but master, I will definitely not admit my mistake!"

Ye Kong: "You said you were in Muyue Courtyard, so the owner should also be Muyue. By the way, he went out a few days ago. When he comes back, ask him to take you out with him."

Xiaoyuan: "That person is not Mu Yue..."

Ye Kong was shocked, he is not Muyue, so why pretend to be Muyue?

He disappeared, walked to Muyue Court, the man claimed to be Muyue, and the things listed were only things that Muyue would know, how could he not be Muyue?

Ye Kong's heart sank, the things the man listed were all things he knew!That man just stole his own memories and used them to frighten him!

Who is that man?What exactly did he release?

"Then who is he?" Ye Kong asked tremblingly.Lianpei...boys, is there any danger?

Xiaoyuan: "I don't know who he is, but I know he is not Muyue. I am very familiar with Muyue. Master, you..."

She raised her head suddenly, and touched her waist nervously: "Someone forced his way in!"

The branches and leaves of the maple and bamboo forest were swept up by the gust of wind, and they shot straight into the non-existent sky. In an instant, the wooden bridge and wooden tower in the distance were invisible.

The entire temple was covered by plants, and there was a crackling sound above the head. The fire ignited the green leaves, and a crack was opened in a second.

A red dress fell from the sky, Xiaoyuan drew out the soft whip around her waist to meet it.

Ye Kong saw sparks exploding between the soft whip and the barrier in midair.

"Stop! Xiaoyuan! Lianpei!"

When Xiaoyuan heard the master's order, she stopped in time and retracted the soft whip. Master Shan Gui's eyes were red with blood, and he didn't listen at all, and kicked Xiaoyuan on the shoulder.

Xiaoyuan fell to the ground from mid-air and traveled a long distance before stopping.

Lian Pei stepped on her shoulder, her eyes were the same color as the red robe, her black hair was disheveled, her fangs were sharp and long, her nails turned into black claws...

Ye Kong forgot to breathe, the man in front of him was even more terrifying than that night in the Swallow Cave.

devil.

"Go to hell." Lianpei put her five fingers together, and stabbed Xiaoyuan's throat with her sharp claws that seemed to have been poisoned.

"Lianpei!!" Ye Kong rushed over and hugged him from behind, "Stop!"

Lianpei stopped moving, her red eyes moved, she slowly put down her hands, and turned around: "Xiao Kong?"

Ye Kong hugged him tightly and didn't dare to let go: "Yeah, it's me! Stop it!"

His body lightened suddenly, his feet left the ground, and his whole body was embraced and hugged by the red robe.

Lian Pei buried her head in the crook of his neck, spraying cold breath on his skin: "Xiaokong, Xiaokong... found you..."
