sinking into sand

It was late at night, and there were still a few small voices in Xun Er's room, but it quickly quieted down.

Everyone is fast asleep.

Yu Sha fell asleep in the room on the second floor of the inn, sleeping very restlessly.

He doesn't really remember much about his childhood.Occasionally, I have some impressions, but I am forced to forget them after I grow up.I don't know what happened today.Xu heard Guan Lan say so many things, those pasts that had been sealed in the box for a long time, unexpectedly came one after another in the dream like a revolving lantern.

More than ten years ago, in the Zhulin Temple on the outskirts of Dingzhou, the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees were shining golden, far surpassing the fierce sun.

He was small, really small.A child like bean sprouts, staying alone in the temple.He just watched the ginkgo tree turn from green to golden, from golden to green again, yesterday, today and tomorrow seemed to be the same.

But there was another year, things were really different, a boy suddenly appeared under the ginkgo tree.

It is golden autumn, and the ginkgo trees have grown monstrously over the years, and the ginkgo leaves all over the tree are as fierce as golden flames.

The boy stood in the courtyard with his back to him, holding an ordinary iron sword in his hand.

He didn't seem to know that someone was coming behind him, but he just concentrated on pouring a pot of shochu on the sword.

After the wine was poured, the young man put on a beautiful posture, and the wine on the sword slowly flowed down the blade.He did that posture very beautifully. The boy's figure has not yet grown up, but he has a unique flexibility. The whole figure is like a slightly stretched bow, containing just the right strength, just waiting for the right time to shoot that shocking shot. arrow.

This posture could not be maintained for a breath, and he shot.

The body really bounced like a bow, and a sword light was drawn in the air, and all the wine on the sword was splashed out with the momentum of the sword.There is a faint rainbow on the edge of the sword under the sunlight.

At that time, I didn't know where the killing point of this move was, just this small rainbow light was enough to scare me off.I just thought this trick was really good-looking, so I couldn't help but exclaimed.

The young man who made the sword move just stood still, when he heard the call, he turned his head to look.

In this brief moment of effort, the killing intent hidden in that sword move also followed.

The purpose of the wine splashed from the sword was not the bright and harmless rainbow, they came out with the sword, as if with sharp edges, they went straight to grab the leaves of the ginkgo tree.

When the young man turned his head, the leaves that had been knocked down by the wine rustled down, and a golden rain began.

In the golden rain that came in a hurry, I could clearly see the picturesque facial features of the young man.

and his open coat.

What did you say at that time?

The little child was so shocked that he couldn't say anything good. Seeing the man's disheveled appearance, he hesitated for a long time, his mind was muddled.

After a while, he said something.

"...You...you, how decent you are dressed like this!"

Yu Sha woke up.

He was woken up by himself.

It was early morning, and the sky was thinly lit up, showing a gray-blue white, and there was the sound of birds chirping outside the window.

Yu Sha stretched out his hands numbly and rubbed his face, sat on the bed, and was in a daze for a long time.

In the side room in the backyard, Guan Lan also woke up, but he had a good rest. He had no dreams all night, so he put on his clothes and went out.

In the yard, I got up early on the second day of the lunar new year, and after sending my mother away, I took care of myself, and sat under the peach tree with a pot, vegetables, rice and beans, and washed it with the well water in the backyard.

Seeing Guan Lan coming out, she thought about what my mother said last night, and she took the initiative to speak: "Brother Guan, good morning."

Guan Lan also greeted her, remembering what Yao Niang said yesterday, and asked Xun Er: "I have been bothering your house for so long, and I have troubled you a lot. I don't know if there is any work that can be done."

This is not in the middle of the middle of the day, she tried to coax: "There is nothing else, but brother's health has always been not good, and he is constantly running around. It is best to ask him to rest in the store these days and not let him go out. But the Guan family Brother, you have seen it in your eyes these days, so you are the one who wants to face the most and loves to be brave. I just hope that the brother of the Guan family can help stop it."

Guan Lan nodded in agreement, and said, "It's nothing, I'll help with some work. Clean the front hall or tidy up the rooms."

Xun Er knew that this man had been robbed of [-] yuan by Yu Sha before, and now he saw that he was easy to talk, so he couldn't bear it, so he found an easy job: "It's not urgent to clean those who don't have customers now, Why don't you come here with me to wash some vegetables and choose some beans, and we'll have breakfast later."

Guan Lan didn't insist, she found a bench and sat next to Xun Er, washing vegetables like her.

Xun Er looked at Guan Lan from the side, still thinking about it, so he took advantage of the moment of washing vegetables together to start talking.It's nothing more than where they came from and what relationship they have with Yu Shaomiao.

Guan Lan answered happily in front of Yu Sha yesterday, but right now she felt that Xun Er was just a little girl, and she didn't want her to know too much.Then he chatted casually and faltered in the past.

They were practicing Tai Chi here, and Yu Sha rushed downstairs to the yard with a suit of clothes.

He came in aggressively, and when he saw Xun Er and Guan Lan head-on, he quickly lost his temper.Standing at the door of the backyard with a suit of clothes in his arms, he looked silly and not very smart.

Xun Er was stunned, looking at him and at the one next to him, there was not even a charter on how to smooth things over.

On the other hand, Guan Lan was more relaxed, put down the beans in his hand, got up and walked over.

Seeing him approaching, Yu Sha took a step back for some reason.

Seeing him hiding, Guan Lan stopped moving forward, and said directly: "Do you need to wash the clothes? Shall I help you?"

Yu Sha: "..."

He has been working on self-improvement for a long time, but he really doesn't know why he is so timid about his hometown.In fact, Guan Lan didn't recognize him at all, so he didn't have to be so ignorant.

"You come with me." After struggling for a long time, Yu Sha finally got the upper hand with reason, and opened his mouth fiercely, and turned his head away after finishing speaking, regardless of whether Guan Lan agreed or not.

Xun Er felt worried, walked over, and said to Guan Lan: "... He usually wakes up after noon, and today I don't know what kind of evil has happened to him. Are you angry when you wake up... Brother Guan, please be more patient. .”

"It's okay." Guan Lan said, "I'll go take a look with him."

After speaking, he followed Yu Sha.

The two of them went to the room on the second floor, which was Yu Sha's usual room.

Guan Lan followed him into the door, and Yu Sha put the clothes he was carrying on the table, and went to open the closet, picking out something.

Guan Lan walked closer to look at the clothes on the table.The fabric is slippery, like satin.Although it is not obvious, there are many dark lines, but it is impossible to tell what kind of pattern it is.

He looked at this side for a long time, but couldn't figure out what Yu Sha was going to do, but Yu Sha over there had made a choice.

He came out with a few more clothes, piled them on the table, and then watched Guan Lan without saying a word.

After a while, he said, "...you try it on."

Guan Lan looked at him: "...?"
