smile to heart

=====================

The night wind was sparse, and the flowers were falling. Under the quiet night, a pile of firewood was burning, and the bright yellow flames swayed on the side face of the sleeping man by the tree, casting a warm light and shadow.

Hearing the sound of the stream gurgling beside his ears, a tung flower suddenly fell on Mu Yun's open palm, causing him to curl up his fingers slightly, with a hint of waking up.

The vision gradually changed from blurred to clear. Mu Yun opened his eyes, looked sideways, and saw a woman in colorful clothes by the stream not far away.Immediately, a little stunned.

Looking back on his memory, he connected the cause of the incident, but he didn't remember when this woman appeared.

In a daze, Qi finally noticed that Mu Yun was awake, so he moved over as planned.

Through the veil, he squeezed his voice and coughed softly: "Hmmm. Young master, you are awake. Pay the bill."

Mu Yun stood in front of him in a daze, not knowing why, "Absolutely? Do we know each other, girl?"

Under the veil, Qi Zhong laughed dumbly, and said: "Young master, I am your savior. You just fell into a coma in the desolate forest to the east. I dragged you to this tung flower forest near the stream. , otherwise you might have been eaten by wild wolves now..."

"Is it... so serious?" Mu Yun asked hesitantly, still puzzled, "Then what does this have to do with paying the bill?"

"Of course it has something to do with it. I saved you in vain? I don't even ask you to repay me with the spring, so why don't you just give me some money?"

Mu Yun stopped talking in confusion, and couldn't tell what was wrong in the other party's words for a while.

However, he rubbed his side habitually, and it was empty. All the money on his body had already been given to the victims who were attacked by monsters. Right now, he was putting himself in a difficult situation.

Qi Zhong saw that he couldn't take out a copper coin for a long time, and thought: What an iron rooster, he doesn't pull out a penny.

Pursing her lips, Mu Yun begged in a low voice: "Girl, I'm in a hurry and don't bring any extra money with me. Can I... credit it?"

"No money?"

A loud voice startled Mu Yun, Qi Zhong hurriedly stopped the risk of being almost exposed, and changed his tone, "Uh, I mean, what is the reason for the young master to go out in such a hurry without any money? "

Seeing someone ask the reason, Mu Yun thought that the other party should be a reasonable person, so he explained honestly: "I was ordered to go down the mountain and come to Luanyang to do business. Fortunately, the girl came to the rescue."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong secretly slandered: You just escaped from death, how many days did you stay home?Come out to work again, are you a talent made of wood?Not too tired.

But this didn't dispel Qi Zhong's original thoughts, he thought about it, and nodded casually: "Oh."

Mu Yun's thought of being considerate to others was lost for a moment, and he didn't dare to speak rashly for a while, he could only wait for the other party to change his mind.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have money. I don't need money to be content."

"What does the girl want?" Hearing people let go, Mu Yun hurriedly asked.

"I'm going to..." people.

An inexplicable thought suddenly flashed through Qi Zhong's mind, almost causing him to blurt out an incoherent answer.

Seeing the other party's sincere eyes, Qi Zhong shifted his gaze guiltily and said, "Uh. Of course I want to save face!"

"Face?" Mu Yun frowned: Why did this girl speak upside down.

Qi Zhong nodded solemnly: "That's right. In order to save you, this... girl, she got separated from the people in the mansion, and now she's staying with you alone in this uninhabited suburb in the middle of the night. No more?"

"This..." Mu Yun had nothing to refute, and his mind suddenly became dull, and he didn't think about the mistakes and omissions in this person's words. After all, why the two of them happened to be together in the wild is also a suspicious point.He didn't think too much, but instinctively felt that the aura of the person in front of him was familiar, which easily made him let go of his guard.

"The girl is right..."

"Then you see, you don't have the money to let me go back to silence you, and you can't defend my innocence. How can you thank me for your kindness?"

"But it's up to you, girl." Mu Yun kept backing down, sweating lightly on his forehead, he always had the illusion that the other party would not let him go.

"Oh. Listen to me, right?"

"Ah."

"Then you... make a promise with your body!"

"Ah?" Mu Yun took a step back, staring at Qi Zhong with a terrified expression, pursing his lips dully.

"Girl's words are serious! Please think carefully."

"Uh..." Qi Zhong was also a little dazed, and felt a little strange when he realized that he had babbled nonsense just now, but the words had already escaped, so he had no choice but to continue acting.

"Hey, do you have a conscience? Just now you said you would listen to me, but now you changed your mind in front of your face? Where are you from, report your name, and I will report it to your parents."

His cheeks were slightly red, and Mu Yun lowered his eyebrows in shame. Hearing the other party's childish complaints and threats, he guessed that the other party should be a young girl, and felt even more sorry.

"I'm helping Feng Muyun, I forgot to tell you just now, please forgive me, miss."

If Qi Zhong hadn't gotten into the corner at the beginning, he wouldn't have even forgotten the most basic etiquette.

Qi Ding nodded: "Well. I remember you, so now, do you still want to fulfill your promise to repay your kindness?"

Mu Yun showed a tormented look on his face, nodded and said: "Naturally, you must do what you say. But, I am afraid that the girl is a daughter, and if she decides a life-long event so hastily, she will wrong herself in the future."

Qi Zhong blinked, leaned forward half a step, pulled the distance between the two of them closer, and said in a low voice: "Seeing that you look so serious, and you don't look like a bad guy, how could I be wronged..."

Mu Yun raised his eyes lightly, and saw that the person was close in front of him. On the veil, the long eyelashes fluttered, and the rouge was red. It was obviously gorgeous makeup, but it was painted on the end of the person's eyes, but there was only a sense of brilliance, not seductiveness. vulgar.

He has been on the top of the mountain all year round, practicing Taoism with a pure heart and few desires. He has never seen this intoxicating rouge makeup, but he can only judge from his heart. It's enough to make you heartbroken.

When he came back to his senses, Mu Yun realized that his behavior was a bit inappropriate just now. He looked back and said sincerely: "Since the girl is so persistent, please tell Mu Yun your residence and your name. After I go home and discuss with my family, I will choose a date Come to the door and discuss this in detail."

Originally thought that he would have to torture this person for a while, Qi Zhong had already thought about what he would say later, but he didn't expect the other party to agree at once, and he was unexpected and panicked: How serious is this idiot?Where did I go to find a house to find a name, just thinking about defrauding him of some money, how did it become like this...

"No!" He firmly refused.

"I, uh... Oh, yes. You can marry if you want? I haven't made up my mind yet, so I won't tell you."

With his mind in a mess, Qi Zhong wholeheartedly refused and replied indiscriminately.

Mu Yun faintly felt that he had fallen into some strange trap, and his eyes suddenly became confused: "Girl, you..."

"I mean, I have to think about this matter. After all, I haven't told my family that it's not good to let the family have more chopsticks for no reason. And who knows if this is your plan to delay the attack? In case you What if you don't come back once you leave?"

After pinpointing his thoughts, Qi finally had the upper hand and threw the problem back to Mu Yun.

Being so questioned about her honesty made Mu Yun feel a little distressed, but he made a promise: "In this case, I will send the girls home early tomorrow morning, and I will explain it to them along the way."

Uh, poof—

The old blood in Qi Zhong's heart was spurted out by him, and he never knew that he had more backhands than him.

"No..." Subconsciously refused, Qi Zhong glanced at Mu Yun's suspicious eyes again, and changed his words, "Then, there is Mr. Lao Yun."

"Ah."

The two remained silent, and took the initiative to avoid suspicion, and each found a tree to sit under.The fire in the middle was getting weaker, and Mu Yun carefully added dry firewood.

Qi Zhong watched the flames scuttling and scuttling, and thought to himself: At worst, I'll just sneak away when you fall asleep.

Thinking of it this way, he felt confident and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After the fire burned for a while, the two who hadn't eaten felt faintly hungry.

Qi finally touched his sleeves, and still remembered that he packed a piece of delicate chestnut crisp at Yuanyang Building at noon today, which is a good food that can satisfy his hunger at the moment.However, he glanced at Mu Yun with a calm face, and felt that eating alone seemed a bit bad, but if he wanted to pass cakes to others, he would inevitably have to talk and deal with him. Now he is defeated by the sincerity of the other party, who can often force him to There is no answer.

"Hey..." He sighed softly, stood up in compromise, walked up to Mu Yun, and gave him half of the pastries, "Nuo, are you hungry? I brought chestnut cakes, and I'll give you half."

"...Thank you for your kindness." Mu Yun gratefully accepted the pastry. When the two touched their fingers, Mu Yun felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had clasped his fingers tightly with someone.

Wait, 'she' has calluses on her palms... Mu Yun glanced lightly at the cocoon shadow under the firelight when Qi Zhong flipped his hands from the corner of his eyes, and he was suspicious.

"I haven't asked you yet, girl, why is it so dark that you appear in this desolate suburb?"

As soon as he was seated, Qi Zhong suddenly heard the other party's probing words, and his heart thumped: Meow, I shouldn't have given you food, just starve to death.

"I... didn't tell you, I got separated from the people in the house."

Mu Yun patiently asked again: "Why did the girl go out of the city?"

"Uh..." Qi finally clenched his palms: what am I doing here?I'll fix you uh...

After hesitating for a while, Qi finally wanted to talk about outing, but he felt that the time was not right, and finally he cleverly put on a sad look: "Woo...today is my mother's death day, I miss her, so I rushed to her grave to pay my respects... "

"Ah..." Mu Yun didn't expect it to be like this. He felt the same feeling for a moment, felt a faint heartache, and blamed himself: "I'm sorry. I made the girl sad again."

Hahaha... I was fooled.

Qi Zhong pursed his lips and chuckled, quickly stopped sobbing, and whispered: "No, it's okay, son, you didn't mean it either."

Mu Yun didn't seem to have recovered from his guilt, staring at the fallen flowers on the ground, absent-minded.

Qi Zhong didn't care about him, and took advantage of the distraction, quickly fell asleep and pretended to sleep, thinking that no matter how many questions he had, he would ask the air, and he would not be afraid of being cheated.

"Girl, I'm sorry..."

Mu Yun pondered for a long time, and felt that it was inappropriate to make difficult inquiries because of his own selfish doubts.And the question just now was too offensive, so he apologized again.However, no one responded to him at this time.

Turning his head to look, he found that the person was already sleeping peacefully on the Luohua pillow, only Caiyi's hazy back was facing him.

Mu Yun gave up and sighed, then put down the unfinished cake in his hand, got up and walked towards the person.

Qi Zhong, who squinted his eyes from time to time to observe the movement of the shadow under the firelight, saw that he was still making strange movements, and couldn't help feeling tense: What is this guy going to do?
