The bright moon sits on the ground

Before seeing Tian Wanyan, Nie Qiu was actually a little worried.

For this girl who is nearly 27 years old, it is not something to be happy about the person who has been accompanied by someone who wants to spend the rest of her life on him. All the youth she has devoted to it Time is like a joke.

But Tian Wanyan's condition is much better than he imagined. Except for the slightly red eye sockets and slightly swollen eyes, whether it's her conversation or manner, she is as usual, and she can't find any faults, as if She had completely let go of Qin Rongchong.

However, how could he not care at all?Nie Qiu thought, scars are always hidden in the bottom of my heart.

He heard that Qin Rongchong was about to embark on a long journey, so Tian Wanyan naturally knew about it.

This time, Tian Wanyan didn't say that he wanted to go together, and Qin Rongchong didn't insist on going his own way. Instead, he allowed Shen Chuping and Lu Huairan to accompany him, changed his heavy clothes, and put on a light chivalrous attire. It was the first time he stepped out of the mansion, a descendant of a famous family who wanted to make waves in the rivers and lakes, but despite his frivolous tone, his demeanor was mature and steady.

Compared with when Nie Qiu saw him before, it was deeper, like amber with petals condensed unintentionally, thick and long.

Tan Rongchong has always been a very purposeful person,? But this time he didn't say where he was going.

It's not that he deliberately prevaricates, but because he just wants to follow the spring breeze this time and walk wantonly in this world.

Of course, there is also the jade pendant with the lotus in the title of a tiger, which is always by his side, and slowly settles down during the long wandering, becoming more warm and introverted. One day, that smooth warm jade will be covered with Tan Rongchong's palm Medium to deep texture.

After Qin Rongchong came to say goodbye, Nie Qiu soon received a message from Tian Wanyan, asking him to come and get what he deserved.

She had promised to build a bridge between him and Tian Ling, the Patriarch of the Tian family, and now she came to fulfill her promise.

When she saw Tian Wanyan, the maid was showing her the newly bought material, which was soft in texture and bright in color. Tian Wanyan listened silently, and sometimes stretched out her hand to twist the knot of silk satin. She didn't let Nie Qiu wait for Mrs. After a while, after looking at it for a while, he said "yes" and waved the maid to leave. There were only the two of them in the room for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped and became awkward.

Nie Qiu deliberately avoided Tian Wanyan's slightly swollen Danfeng eyes, and cupped his hands and called out "Miss Tian".

Tian Wanyan also returned the gift, and this was a brief but polite exchange between them.

If she didn't say anything, it was impossible for Nie Qiu to mention Tan Rongchong. The two of them acted as if they didn't know anything and nothing happened. Take something.

Taking advantage of this free time, Nie Qiu had time to think carefully about Tian Wanyan's every move.

After traveling thousands of miles to Zhen'e, calmly and arrogantly presented all the news he was interested in, and proposed a deal to him; and later, on the carriage to Xiayan City, Tian Wanyan told him the whole story. At last, they arrived at Xiayan City. After Tian Wanyan inquired all the way, he led Nie Qiu to Lingyan Lake. He never said anything about going with him. He told Tan Rongchong, and after he finished speaking, he turned and left without even a moment's hesitation.

Ever since Zhen'e met Nie Qiu, Tian Wanyan had prepared for the worst.

She said that men will never understand that those so-called women who die for love and don't ask for anything in return are not because they love someone so hard to let go, but because they are fighting for such a breath, so they are stubborn and stubborn, and they clenched their hearts. Jaws refused to let go.

She also said that she knew that she would never be able to leave a place in Tan Rongchong's heart. The living will never be as good as the dead, because the living can still be restored, but the dead will never regret stay there.

How much Tian Wanyan likes Tan Rongchong, she probably can't answer herself.

Love is too vulgar and ridiculous for her. As an oiran who has been in the world, she has seen too many sweet words. She is used to asking for things but not getting them. It was just a whim.

She doesn't believe in love at first sight, but she is used to being with her, so she gradually feels that it is appropriate to just pass her life like this.

Since Tan Hongchong wanted to leave, Tian Wanyan would not force her to stay. She had to witness it with her own eyes, she had to hear it with her own ears, she had to experience heart-piercing pain, and shed uncontrollable tears before she could completely give up and cut off everything she deserved. Some thoughts that shouldn't be there.

She just wanted to lose happily, and it was better than worrying about it in the future.

You are right to say that Tian Wanyan loves Tan Rongchong deeply, so she is willing to give without regard for anything in return; you say that she has never loved Tan Rongchong for a moment, and what she yearns for is pure love itself, just the company of long-lasting, loving companionship. Also right.

So Tan Hongchong gave the answer, and Tian Wanyan accepted it, and didn't want to keep it, so he was just a passerby who met by chance.

However, I don't know when Tian Wanyan will be able to completely let go of Qin Rongchong.

Just like Gu Huazhi, to Tan Rongchong, is not an existence that time can easily erase.

Tian Wanyan came out from the back room very quickly, holding a wooden box in his hand, without any decorations on the box, it was extremely simple, just like the wooden box that a peddler on the street took for things, the picture was just It is convenient and can be discarded at any time.

She opened the wooden box, faced Nie Qiu, and took out the things inside.

It was a palm-sized bamboo joint, the color of metal, like copper, under the light of the candle, there was a shimmer of light, it went up and down, it was hollow, it didn't look like anything special, there was not even a symbol on the surface. There is no family crest of the Tian family.

"During the new moon, sit north and face south, surrounded by mountains and rivers, hit the joints with stones, and you can hear the sound of beasts, but if the bamboo joints are damaged, it means that my uncle has already heard the news from you." Tian Wanyan closed his eyes. The wooden box explained lightly, "I have to emphasize to you that the word 'bamboo joints are damaged' is not an exaggeration. This kind of bamboo joints can only be used once, and they will lose their effect after use."

"If, I mean if."

She paused, and said: "After my uncle met you, if he had the idea of ​​continuing to communicate with you, he would give you the bamboo joint like me when we parted, and use it as the next meeting medium until he felt it was unnecessary."

Nie Qiu took the wooden box Tian Wanyan handed over, and heard her say: "Tian Ling is a very easy-going person, so you don't have to feel restrained because of his status, you can do whatever you want, but don't Ask him what he will see when he spy on the destiny, don't ask him about his fear...Of course, I think Mr. Nie is a sensible person, so he shouldn't do such a thing."

"Has Miss Tian told him about this?" Nie Qiu asked.

"Yes, I have already told him. Since he knows about it, your act of smashing the bamboo joints is not considered rash and rude." Tian Wanyan rubbed the corners of his eyes and said with a little sleepiness, "Uncle said, he Looking forward to meeting you after many years."

Nie Qiu thought that he was also looking forward to what Tian Ling would say when he saw him again after many years.

How much of that shocking hexagram, the so-called "people favored by heaven", is true and how much is false.

"This is everything I promised you." Tian Wanyan looked directly into Nie Qiu's eyes and said, "I hope you can know that I chose to give you the bamboo joints not just because of that transaction, but because , Both the Bu family and the Qing family have chosen you."

When she said this, her expression was different from the previous ones. She was serious, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and even a little aggressive. The reflection in the cup was as sharp as ice, smashing the faint water waves, leaving only the bright warning means.

Nie Qiu put the wooden box away, and responded equally seriously: "Nie Qiu must remember Miss Tian's earnest entrustment."

Only then did Tian Wanyan restrain his expression, and instead of continuing on that topic, he changed the subject to ease the atmosphere, "What will Mr. Nie do in the future? I saw that Mr. Nie was in a hurry and full of thoughts, so I probably wouldn't hit him right away." Broken bamboo knots?"

Nie Qiu didn't intend to say it at first, but Tian Wanyan's special status might give him a different opinion, so he hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell Tian Wanyan what he was going to do next, and see what she would think. What a reaction.

"I'm going to follow the original plan to find the leader first, and then meet with Patriarch Tian after the situation settles down."

"Really." Tian Wanyan tapped his fingers on the table lightly, but after Nie Qiu finished speaking, he stopped and said, "Perhaps Mr. Nie has also noticed that the more unusual things in this world are getting worse. More and more, as if foretelling something."

"Even if I don't intend to interfere with these things, they still come one after another, entering my dreams and devouring every peaceful night." She frowned, obviously, that kind of weird dream had troubled her for a long time, "Uncle I once said that there are some things that you can’t hide if you want to, the destiny is like this, even the Tian family can’t do anything about it, I have to accept all these omens.”

Not only Tian Wanyan, Bu Chenrong had already said similar words a long time ago.

Nie Qiu suppressed the strong uneasiness in his heart and asked, "What kind of scenes did you see in the dream?"

"Idol."

"Unknown gods are hidden in the dark, and only through the statues carved by devout believers can we see their true faces, which are not false, but real, a sharp edge that breaks falsehood, and destroys all obstacles that disturb memory. "Tian Wanyan said slowly, with a chilling emotion in her tone. She seemed to think of something, and suddenly laughed, "Do you know? Priests, like all the deluded world, know nothing of it."

Nie Qiu was silent for a long time. Whether it was fear or shock, they all broke out completely at this moment. He forced himself to think with difficulty, but those broken clues could not be pieced together. Fallen leaves swept by the wind.

"Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? You can just take it as my rambling, I'll only say this once, and I won't mention it again."

Tian Wanyan deliberately let the atmosphere in the room return to silence, then she stood up, looked at Nie Qiu, and said with parted lips: "There is more than one statue, although they are all waiting quietly in the dark, but, Mr. Nie, you Should know what that means."

"Why do I know this, why Tian Ling often associates with me, a traitor, and why should I tell you these things?" Tian Wanyan's eyes were gloomy, and with the last sentence, all the excuses that could be used to escape were completely defeated. , "Because I used to be the star attendant of the Tian family, I have been hiding from these nightmare omens all my life, but I couldn't escape."

"And you, Mr. Nie." She said, "It was you that I saw in those sleepy dreams."
