[Grave Raiders Notes bg] Lost Notes 2: Heavy Fate

Nan Xing thought for a while and asked, "Brother, did you read any books that mentioned where the eighteen dragon movements came from?"

"Sichuan Mengding Mountain." Zhang Qiling said.

Nan Xing's eyes lit up, "If we go back to Zhang's house this time, we won't be able to get information about death row prisoners from the archives, or we can start from this line."

Zhang Qiling noticed Nan Xing's reaction, "You really care about finding out the truth of this matter."

Straightforward tone, seemingly asking, but actually affirming.

Nan Xing was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his eyelashes after a while, "Actually... I don't really care that much."

What she cares about is not the matter itself, but the impact it will have on him in the future.

All she cared about was always him.

That's why I was in a hurry to find out the people behind the scenes...

Zhang Qiling didn't question her answer either, she didn't want to say more, and he wouldn't ask too much.

He put down his chopsticks and looked out the window in a daze.

"Are you full?" Nan Xing then asked him.

He nodded.

"I can do it too, how about we go back to the inn?" Nan Xing said, beckoning to a round, rough-looking female shop assistant nearby, "Beauty, pay the bill."

The female clerk turned her head in disbelief, pointed to herself, and asked Nan Xing: "Guest officer, did you call me?"

Nan Xing nodded as a matter of course.

The people at the neighboring tables all looked at the female shop assistant, frowned, with hot eyes on their faces, and then looked back at Nan Xing, their faces flashed with astonishment, and then regretted it.

Someone sighed softly, "It's such a pity that such a beautiful girl has gone blind at such a young age."

Only Zhang Qiling is used to it, it seems to be Nan Xing's habit of addressing people, no matter how she looks, she always calls "beauty" to strange women, although most of them are not worthy of the name, but this kind of address does make her gain more kindness.

The female shop assistant smiled happily, and quickly came to Nan Xing and Zhang Qiling's table.

It turned out that the female clerk was the boss' daughter, and she came to play as a clerk for a day when she was bored at home.Since she was a child, she has always had low self-esteem because of her appearance. Today, she was called a "beauty" for the first time. Out of her heart, she directly gave Nan Xing and the others a free ticket, and when she left, she even asked them to come back when she was free.

When Zhang Qiling and Nan Xing came out of the restaurant, most of the people on the street were gone, very sparse.

In the late Qing Dynasty, electric lamps were not yet popular, and oil lamps or candles were basically used.Therefore, the night market will not open too late.

It was the fifteenth day, the full moon hung high in the night sky, and the silver brilliance was cast down like a net, covering the two of them with a layer of soft light.

The two walked on the street without speaking, but there was no awkwardness or discomfort.

Arriving in front of the inn in a blink of an eye, Nan Xing slowed down, looked at the full moon in the sky, and said slowly: "How many times have we seen the full moon together?"

"Ninth time." Zhang Qiling's voice was calm and firm.

In the seven years since they came to the Zhang family, they often stayed for ten days and a half months because they helped their adoptive father work in the cemetery, and they didn't have many chances to see the full moon.

"You may have underestimated once." Nan Xing seemed to remember something, with a little smile in his eyes.

Zhang Qiling looked at her with doubts in his eyes.

Nan Xing stopped and looked back at him, his crystal eyes became clearer in the moonlight, "When I went to the ground in August last year, I lost a lot of blood and fell into a coma, and I missed the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival. But in fact, I woke up in the middle of the night gone."

At that time, when she woke up and saw him sitting at the table looking at the full moon outside the window, his expression was so pale that he seemed to melt into the cold moonlight, she was a little stunned.So when he got up and came to her bed to confirm her physical condition, her first reaction was to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep. She didn't open them until he returned to his bed behind the screen and fell asleep.

"So, that's the tenth time." Zhang Qiling was not surprised after hearing this.

"The next full moon, can we watch it together?" Nan Xing looked into Zhang Qiling's deep black eyes, and the moonlight obscured the emotions flowing in her eyes.

She knew in her heart that she might not be with him at the next full moon.She had less than a month of life left, and she had to take the medicine made from the unicorn bloodstone before then. At that time, it would induce the gift of heaven, and she would lose her memory and forget him.

Zhang Qiling looked at her silently, as if he had sensed something from her words, and there was a bit of insight into everything in his plain eyes.

"It doesn't matter if you can't see it next time, there is still time in the future." Nan Xing shook his head with a smile, hiding the sadness that was almost exposed just now.

Zhang Qiling withdrew his gaze and walked towards the inn, "Go in."

"Okay." She murmured, catching up with him.

Back at the inn, it was already late at night after the two of them washed up.

Nan Xing folded her arms, looked at the only bed in the room and thought hard, recalling in her mind how she persuaded Zhang Qiling to share a bed with her when she encountered this situation in her previous life.

Just as she was about to speak, Zhang Qiling asked her: "Do you sleep inside or outside?"

???

How does this unfold?

After a moment of shock, Nan Xing quickly realized that Zhang Qiling's tone was so flat that he was describing something as common as eating and drinking, so now he probably doesn't even have the concept of male and female defense... and she is full of What are you thinking about?

Alas... She is really inferior to a bird.

"I didn't wake up earlier than you, let's sleep in." Nan Xing closed his eyes, pretending to be as calm as Zhang Qiling.

"Well, you go up first." Zhang Qiling said.

Nan Xing obediently climbed onto the bed and lay down.

Zhang Qiling turned off the oil lamp and lay down beside her.

Neither of them spoke, and after an unknown period of time, Nan Xing heard that Zhang Qiling's breathing was even and gentle, and he must have fallen asleep.

Nan Xing couldn't help turning his head to the side, looking at his side face by the moonlight.Although he is still young, the brows between his brows are a bit cold and alienated from his adulthood in his previous life, and his outline is much deeper than seven years ago.

I don't know if it was because he fell asleep, or because he was bathed in the moonlight, his brows and eyes were much softer than usual, which made him even more handsome that is unique to young people.

Nan Xing was fascinated, and when she came to her senses, she found that her hand had reached out to his cheek involuntarily, and she was about to touch it in the next second.

She regained her senses in an instant, and took her hand back, feeling guilty in her heart.

I can't look at him anymore, I have to restrain myself.

Nan Xing closed her eyes, wrapped herself in the quilt, turned inside, and forcibly drew her attention back.

Nan Xing didn't know when she fell asleep, and when she woke up in a daze, Zhang Qiling had already woken up.

Sitting up from the bed, she saw Zhang Qiling who had already packed up and was sitting in front of the table.

"Clean up, we have to go back to Zhang's house today."

The author has something to say:

A pure little brother who has no concept of male and female defense, the old driver Nan Xing who feels that he is a beast every day~
