whose rabbit

, if one day he ceases to be a human being, it is because he does not want to, and no one can force it. "

Du Wei looked at Nan Ting and said nothing, Nan Ting asked: "Old Immortal, what skills do I have?"

"What kind of ability do you want?" The old man laughed loudly, "The Tiger King only infused you with spiritual energy. You are not an adult, so naturally you don't have the magic power of ordinary mountain spirits."

The old man looked at Nan Ting's disappointed look, and said again: "However, Tiger King left me a magic weapon before, come with me and I'll give it to you."

Du Wei grabbed Nan Ting, and the old man said: "Don't worry, I won't eat him, but I have some things to explain to him. In case I make mistakes in the future. Come here." Nan Ting and the old man went in for a while before coming out, Du But seeing Nan Ting's happy face, it's inconvenient to ask in front of the old man.

After the two said their goodbyes, the road down the mountain was covered with a clear light, and Du Wei couldn't help asking: "What did senior tell you?"

Nan Ting said: "He didn't say anything, he just gave me a treasure."

Du Wei stopped talking.

Nan Ting said: "Nianzhi, don't you want to know what kind of treasure it is?"

Du Wei said: "For me, there is no treasure that is more rare than you. I ask you just because I am worried that senior will say bad things to you and make you leave me." Du Wei looked into Nan Ting's eyes and said: "I was born You are generous, there are not many things that I care about, and there are very few things that can be long-lasting. Loving you is the only thing I care about and dare not let go. I don’t care what difficulties my mother and Tiger King had back then, but I I assure you, I will protect you, and you must never give up on me." Du Wei said hoarsely.

Nan Ting was caught in Du Wei's gentle eyes, and murmured: "Nianzhi, I won't leave you."

Du Wei said: "Even if you want to leave in the future, I will not let you go." After finishing speaking, the two embraced tightly.The moon on the treetops is smiling, and an epiphyllum is quietly developing in the night.

"Read it, let's go release the sky lanterns."

"it is good."

Because it is not a special festival, there are no lamp sellers in the night market.The two had no choice but to go back to the hut down the mountain and plan to make one by themselves.

"Nianzhi, since we lived in Zhangfu, we haven't been home for a long time."

"Yes, it's our home." Du Wei pinched Nan Ting's nose and said with a smile, "You silly rabbit, I knew all about peeking at my calligraphy and paintings when I was not at home. I wonder how you can imitate me You learned so well, Rao was stealing the teacher when you were a rabbit, right?" Du Wei hugged Nan Ting on his lap, flipping through the scrolls of the past.Those pictures of ink rabbits are still fresh and lovely, and that picture of women's clothing is still so beautiful that it makes people tremble.

Du Wei suggested: "How about we use this as a lampshade? Just put your silly rabbit in the sky, maybe you can float all the way to the Heavenly Palace and be seen by Chang'e." After a while, he said: "No, no, just in case What should I do if Chang'e likes our silly rabbit and snatches it from me?"

"Nian Zhi, you always say I'm stupid, why are you so stupid now, how did the sky lantern rise to the moon?" Nan Ting asked while flipping through the scroll.

"I can be lucky enough to pick up a silly rabbit, and the sky lantern may fly to the Heavenly Palace. There are contingencies, and contingencies." Du Wei continued to mutter.

"Then how about putting this one?" Nan Ting took out the portrait he drew for Du Wei that day and asked.

"Not good, not good, this is the first portrait you drew for me, how can I use it to paste sky lanterns."

"Then let's draw a new one, with you and me on it, how about it?"

"It's just right, I will draw you, and you will draw me, so that you don't even need to question the words, and God will know our intentions."

Du Wei put down Nan Ting, and Nan Ting leaned over the table and seriously drew a picture of Du Wei holding a jug of wine. He was still dressed in white and snowy, and he was unparalleled in style. A few more strokes revealed the loneliness all over his body and a pair of confused eyes. eye.That was the first time Nan Ting saw a great talent in the eyes of everyone, the unparalleled noble son, on such an ordinary night, became an ordinary drunk man.Nan Ting said: "Nian Zhi, I don't want you to be sad again, let this go, you will be happy in the future."

"No, I regret it, I want to put this one away too." Du Wei reached out and hid the drawing paper behind his back, and said with a wry smile: "I finally understand why people are only willing to write inscriptions. It turns out that they are reluctant. We still write alright."

The night was coming to an end, and the two talents finally put up a sky lantern after a long time. The sky lantern rose up tremblingly, and the candlelight inside printed two faint lines: "Life and death are bound together, and Zicheng said .Hold your son's hand and grow old together with your son."

Chapter 16

When Du Wei took Nan Ting's hand and returned to Zhang Mansion, he saw everyone gathered in the hall talking about something.Ms. Zhang went up to meet her and said, "Sir, you guys are back. The proprietress Jin Yu of Manyuelou has been found." Du Wei walked around her and walked into the front hall. Mixed feelings.

"Xiao Wei, why did you come back? Look, it only took me one night to find him. It's amazing." The emperor sat on the main seat, holding a cup of tea and said leisurely.

Nan Ting looked around the hall, Lord Zhang, Lord Qin, and the Eighth Prince were all there, but there was no ink. "Why didn't you see some ink?" Nan Ting asked.

"Um, he has something to go home." The emperor shook his hand and put down his cup.

Du Wei saw that there was something strange in his expression, so he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Dianmo's parents died since he was a child, how can he have a home?"

"I said yes, so I will lie to you." Nan Ting saw that his face was sullen, and it was rare for him to put on the emperor's airs, and he squeezed Du Wei's palm, and Du Wei stopped asking questions.The Eighth Prince came up to smooth things over, saying that they were going to the dungeon together to meet the proprietress.

When everyone came to the dungeon, gold, jade, plain clothes and Jingchai were no different from ordinary women.Master Zhang stepped forward to ask questions, but Jin Yu ignored him.After Dao Nanting spoke, she raised her head slightly and said, "Hey, your family's taste is really unique, and what you like is not ordinary things in the world." These words were indeed addressed to Du Wei.The faces of the two changed drastically, for fear that she would reveal Nan Ting's identity again.At this time, the emperor said: "Everyone who loves you should avoid it first, it seems that Mrs. Jinyu has some private things to say." Although everyone was puzzled, they all retreated one by one and listened to the news outside the prison.

Du Wei looked at the emperor and said, "Tingmin? Why do you..."

The emperor said: "It's useless to talk more. Let's ask questions. Jinyu, did you burn the Manyue Tower yourself?"

"Your mother was like this back then, holding other people's hands and telling us how happy she was. It's a pity that your mother didn't die well, and so did you." Jin Yu said looking at Du Wei.

Nan Ting's face turned pale after hearing this, and Du Wei felt his hands shaking. "You know my mother?" Du Wei asked.

"Yeah, we were close friends in the boudoir back then, we went to school together and chatted together." Jin Yu recalled with a slow and magical voice.All three of them quietly waited for her to continue. "Yes, that's the expression. Your mother is like that. She likes to hear me tell some weird stories, so I don't tell them on purpose. Then, she has to play tricks on the new gentleman for me. The new gentleman is very young and educated. It’s okay, but she’s very shy, she’ll blush when she sees a girl, and she’ll just wave her hands and say, ‘Not proper’, ‘Not proper’, just like an old pedant.” Jin Yu said as if she saw the real scene , "噗嗤" laughed out loud. "Why do you think he is so stupid? How can he like students who make fun of him?"

"You like that gentleman, don't you? But you like Nianzhi's mother, don't you?" Nan Ting asked.

"Hehe, why would I like that kind of fool? Your mother is also a big fool. She doesn't know if she is liked by others, and she doesn't know if she is hated by others. She even foolishly said that she wanted to make a wedding dress for herself. Make a wedding dress? Haha , married a stranger in her beloved wedding gown, hahaha, don't you think it's ridiculous?" Jin Yu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Nianzhi's mother doesn't know who she married, does she?" Nan Ting asked for Du Wei.

"Of course that silly girl doesn't know. Sitting in the sedan chair is a drugged bride. When she wakes up, she will not be perfect. How can she have the face to explain to her lover. Poor that gentleman is sad. For a while."

"Is this what you did? You designed it to make my mother regret for life." Du Wei asked sharply.

"So what if it's me? Your mother has been depressed since she was pregnant with you, and finally died of illness. It's because she can't think about it. What does it matter to me?" Jin Yu replied.

"I have opened my eyes today. You are really a femme fatale. You are too scary to kill your best friend just because of jealousy. So, you are also the one who set the Manyue Tower on fire?"

"So what if it's me? You've all found me, and I have no choice but to escape. Besides, those slaves are all dependent on me for a living, and if they die, they will die. It's no big deal."

"You are unforgivably guilty! I sentenced you to be executed in public three days later. Are you convinced?"

"It's just a death." Jin Yu lowered her eyes and stopped talking.

"Death is imminent, and I still don't know how to repent!"

After leaving the cell, the emperor said: "Master Zhang, Jin Yu has pleaded guilty and will be sentenced to death in the downtown area in three days. You are responsible for supervising the beheading." Master Zhang said: "Observe the order."

When the people waiting outside the cell saw the three men coming out, their expressions were not good, so they dared not ask in detail.Du Wei dragged Nan Ting back to his room without saying a word.Nan Ting quietly accompanied him.

After a while, Du Wei heard Nan Ting crying, his eyes were red, and his shoulders twitched.Du Wei helped him wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I haven't even cried yet, why are you crying?"

"It's because you can't cry that I cry for you."

Du Wei looked at Nan Ting's little face that was red from crying, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only say
