With thousands of lights turned off and everything still in the silence, Gu Wangshu casually found a roof and sat down. Having nothing to do, he leaned against the slanted eaves and drank, squinting at the moonlight in a daze.

The whole city is empty under curfew.Only the moonlight shrouded the sleeping roof tiles and streets like a layer of veil, as if he was the only one left in the world.

Maybe it was because he was too drunk, so he smiled lightly.

This piece of heaven and earth, the thousands of miles of stars, and the bright moon in the sky are all for me alone.

It is really only rare to be at ease after nightfall.

The evening breeze in early summer was cool, Gu Wangshu rested his head on the ridge of the roof thinking about taking a nap, but in his drunken eyes, he saw the red flags of the restaurant across the street, like a graceful dancing girl in the night.

It seems that since the great evil incident, I have never traveled in the daytime again, and naturally I have never seen the scene of crowds and crowds.He always falls asleep when the world is full of excitement, and travels with his sword when the world is quiet.

Although half of my life has been like this, it is inevitable that I will dream back at midnight, and I will always recall some thoughts of the past and the moon.

I have to admit that I have indeed been changed, a lot.

Began to yearn for the morning dew and morning mist, those noisy voices, the new things in the world, and the smell of fireworks in the world.

In short, I just suddenly realized the meaning of loneliness.

This meaning that was once infiltrated into the bone marrow as it should be, the lonely person didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it.

Today, it has become the most terrible desire.

He took another sip of wine while drunk, but he soon regretted it.

Everyone says to use wine to get rid of sorrow, who knows that it will only make the sorrow worse.

If you say you haven't thought about it, that's a lie.

There is someone sitting next to you, even if you don't say a word.Look at how beautiful the moonlight is, and how peaceful the universe is, how wonderful it is.

"A confidant... how can there be any confidant?"

Gu Wangshu glanced away from the red flag, and when he handed the jug to his mouth, there was only a drop of wine left.With a long sigh, he started talking to himself.

"If you don't know yourself, how can you talk about your confidant."

"what!!!"

"--Snapped"

The boy's scream of surprise floated and swayed far away in this silent night, and then there was a muffled sound as if someone tripped his feet and fell to the ground, and then fell silent, and there was a silence for a while.

"Chase! There! Chase!"

It was the sound of the iron boots of the Night Watchmen.

It was probably someone who was lucky enough to come out in the middle of the night to have fun, and was caught by the night watch army.

Gu Wangshu's eyelids, which had been closed with peace of mind, trembled a few times at this moment, and twisted his body slightly agitated.

The young man in a black cloak pulled the brim of the big hat tightly with both hands and ran fast barefoot. His slender, pale legs were exposed, and they were covered with red marks from mosquito bites. His feet were also scratched and bloodstained. stop.

The nose is covered tightly, only one mouth is opened wide, panting desperately.

"Where did you go! You're slipping like a fish! You're not a big man, but it's really hard to run!"

The boy hid in the alley with his hands on his knees, breathing heavily. He hadn't eaten properly for a few days, and it was so difficult to escape.

"Here! Come!!"

The boy raised his head sharply, and bumped into the officers and soldiers who turned the corner from the opposite street!The eyes under the shadow of the big hat shook violently, turned around and ran away, but didn't pay attention to a stone under his feet, and stepped on it before it was too late to dodge!

"what!"

"—Crack!"

Seeing this, the officers and soldiers hurried forward, and the young man struggled desperately like a small animal caught alive by a hunter, but was grabbed by the back of his hat.

"……do not!"

The young man tried his best to pull back, but with his small arms that were so thin that they seemed to break at the touch of a touch, how could they pull back a strong officer and soldier?

After a scream of despair and crying, officers and soldiers shouted in horror.

"Demons... There are demons!!! Demons!!!"

"Draw your sword, draw your sword!"

Under the big hat, there was long light blond hair, sticking to the messy grass roots and dead leaves, and the water poured out.The boy turned his head full of horror, trembling like a dead tree under the strong wind of the cold winter months.

"I...I'm not...don't..."

A pair of gray eyes reflected a saber light that struck straight up.

"Dang" there was a collision of iron blades, and the young man sat down on the ground with his head in his arms in despair, crying loudly.But he suddenly realized that the saber didn't seem to have landed on his neck, so he raised his head tremblingly.

With tears in his eyes, he saw a tall figure in black clothes standing in front of him, with a thin sword in his hand blocking a blow for him, knocking down the officer's saber to the ground!

The young man was so frightened that he couldn't even finish his sentence, and he was so desperate to squeeze out "help" from his throat. However, the word "help" was only halfway out, and the man in front of him was glistening with hair under the moonlight. With bright silver hair, she was stunned for a moment——

"What's going on? I can't tell if it's a human or a monster. Why are you patrolling the night? It's better to go home and farm the land, and do less evil."

The officers and soldiers were obviously very frightened, and a man who appeared out of nowhere easily threw the knife away. He stared stupidly at the knife on the ground for a long time, until a dozen or so number of armor belts came from all directions. The sword patrol night army gathered in one place, and then he regained his senses and straightened his body as if he had gained courage.

When the young man saw it, he was surrounded tightly, and he was dead.

Unexpectedly, a sergeant with feathers in the appearance of a small captain squeezed out of the team, turned his head to look at the knife on the ground and the frightened boy behind Gu Wangshu, who was frightened into a puddle of mud, and then he probably understood the ins and outs, and hurried over He pushed the officer and soldier who had lost the knife but was confident behind him, and clasped his fist with the handle of the knife upside down.

"Mr. Gu is offended. This soldier is new and doesn't know the rules. He may be a little timid to patrol alone at night. If he thinks of monsters and ghosts, he will look like a monster. I hope you understand. Thank you, sir, for your help. Big mistake."

Then he growled at the stunned soldiers beside him: "Pick up your knife and get out!"

Gu Wangshu didn't say anything else, he nodded and put away his sword, and turned to help him.His eyes followed the boy's calf covered with scars and insect marks all the way, and then met his gray pupils staring unbelievably on his dirty face under the messy blond hair.

"Ajuan?!"

The young man who had just gotten a bath after a long time was sitting on the couch with his hands crossed and his feet dangling with his blond hair dripping wet.In this strange room, the gray pupils were full of embarrassment.After washing it clean, he temporarily changed into the old clothes that Gu Wangshu didn't wear.

The boy probably hadn't eaten since he was a child, he was a thin and small one, alert and pretty like a little animal cub that was just brought home.Gu Wangshu's clothes were naturally of the wrong size and hung loosely on his body, and there was a deep mark of wearing a collar for a long time on his bare white neck.

Gu Wangshu came over with a bottle of ointment, sat cross-legged on the ground and pulled his ankle.Ajuan shivered subconsciously and shrank back, and after a while, she hung back obediently.

"Escaped?"

Gu Wangshu asked in a deep voice, seemingly without any emotion.

"Um……"

"how old are you."

"Ten...sixteen..."

The fingertips dipped in the crystal white transparent plaster scratched the blood-clogged scratches on the calf, and one could clearly feel the teenager's trembling of anxiety and pain, and wanted to endure it desperately. In the end, he could only use every muscle in his body All tense.

"It doesn't look like it. I thought you were fourteen at most."

"Long... long and small."

"Where's your family? Where's your hometown? I'll ask someone to take you back."

Ajuan lowered her head, and said in a very low voice: "No... she was sold out when she was young, I don't know."

Gu Wangshu took out the gauze and wrapped it up carefully for him layer by layer, then took out the bedding from the closet and threw it on the ground, took off the hair crown and lay down on the spot.

Unknowingly, I drank a little too much tonight, and at this moment, I was so dazed that I didn't know what I was talking about.

"Go to bed first. If you have more words, wake up and talk again. I'm tired."

Ajuan saw him put herself on the couch, he lay down on the ground, immediately jumped off the bed overwhelmed by flattery, yelled out with a "hiss" from the wound on the sole of her foot, knelt on the ground in panic and shook Gu Wangshu's arm and said: "My lord, my lord! You can't sleep on the floor! How can I occupy your bed with such a low body, it's impossible! Come up quickly!"

Gu Wangshu was already upset, and when he yelled close to his ear, he turned over impatiently, but Ajuan ran to the other side and grabbed him and shouted, "My lord, my lord!"

"My lord! No, no... oh!!"

Ajuan was picked up by Gu Wangshu who couldn't bear it anymore, and was thrown onto the bed.

"Sir, you are..."

A Juan forced her phoenix eyes to widen, she was startled and frightened, and at the same time she was at a loss.

"My lord, I'm a Taoist priest, I can't bear it. I just want to sleep on the ground today. You don't want to sleep on the bed, is it disgusting?"

This bed is soft and comfortable, but Ajuan, who has been fleeing for her life and sleeping on the street in the forest, can't even dream of a gentle place, now she is lying on it, how can she not want to sleep.It's just that a child who has been raised as a plaything of animals feels in his bones that he is inferior and unworthy.

"Then...Master...Master?"

A Juan responded cautiously.Although he is young, he has indeed been resold too many people, and the name that the person who bought him asked him to call him has changed several times.The young man racked his brains, what about adults, father, master, master, the only thing he could think of was this.

Gu Wangshu was so angry that he couldn't sleep.

After all, on Huamanlou's side, he really couldn't forget the way Ajuan looked at him that day.

The unbelievable, indescribable shock.

Silence is better than sound questioning, asking why there are moon people who can live dignifiedly, without being put on a collar that symbolizes a plaything, and without being sold and used at will like a thing.

Gu Wangshu has always been brooding over the fact that he was too busy to save him that day, but he didn't expect to pick it up for him today by mistake?

He didn't know where the anger came from, but when he heard him call out "Master" in such a low self-esteem, he immediately turned over and sat up, and said sharply: "You are so low! Are you murdering and arson or doing something that is not justified?" Son? What’s wrong with Yueren, Yueren are not born lower and heartless than their ordinary people, we are also human! It’s just that we’re sick!”

With this questioning, the frightened boy on the bed froze in place, only his eyes gradually filled with tears.

"Ajuan, stop talking nonsense and go to bed! When the sun rises, I'll take you to eat delicious food, change into clothes, and find a handy weapon to protect you! We live a dignified life, why should we look at people's eyes!"

Seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, Gu Wangshu fell down and turned around to take a look. Seeing that the child had tears streaming down his face, he didn't dare to cry, and he even hugged the quilt and hid behind him to peek in fear!Seeing that he also turned around to look at himself, he quickly "plopped" down on the couch, lifted the quilt and covered the whole small person in it.

This... Is it too cruel for you to say?

Gu Wangshu suddenly felt a little uneasy about his conscience, that's right, if you suddenly told him not to be so uneasy about a child who has always lived by looking at people like this, wouldn't he have no way to live at all?

But in the end, he was still depressed and couldn't say words of comfort.

"Why are big men crying?"

"No...it's nothing, sleep, I'll sleep..."
