Cyan Pearl Yeming

Yu Li suddenly felt hot and cold in his eye sockets, even colder than his body temperature, as if what was embedded there was not the eyes of a living creature, but cold pearls.

He raised his hand subconsciously, and touched his eyelids with the back of his hand. After a few presses and sensations, he nodded as if he had realized something, bent over to pick up the wooden bird, walked out of the small temple, looked at the night sky, and muttered to himself : "...So that's how it is."

Soon after, it was dawn.

Jin Sheng didn't sleep all night and waited at the gate of Xu Mansion early in the morning.

The main entrance was heavily guarded, and after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't dare to approach it. He bypassed it and walked along the high wall to an attic.

The attic is elegant and delicate, with a small side door outside, and no one is guarding the door.

There is only one young lady in Xu Zhifu, and no one else lives here.Thinking this way, Jin Sheng summoned up his courage and stepped forward to knock on the door.

The sound of knocking on the door was moderate and rhythmic, so that it would not attract people from afar and make it impossible for those inside the door to ignore it.

Suddenly, with a creak, the door was opened inward.

Jin Sheng's hand was knocking on the air in front of him, his heartbeat was so fast due to nervousness, the girl in the pink shirt who saw it with his eyes forgot to blink.

The girl with round eyes and small mouth, combing her buns, suddenly saw a strange young man covered in dust, took a big step back in fright, and asked in surprise, "Who are you? What are you here for?"

"I, I..." Jin Sheng blushed and stammered, afraid that the other party would be impatient, so he quickly took out the things in his arms to show her, "Miss wants it! The bead curtain!"

Cyan beads are strung together by transparent silk threads, like a curtain hanging in the air, the blue-black night sky looks dim under the bright sun's rays in the morning.

The girl opened her eyes in surprise after hearing what he said, and after looking at the curtain for a few times, she doubted, "That's it? A glowing memory bead? It doesn't look like it."

Jin Sheng was anxious: "It's true! It will glow at night!"

For some reason, the girl looked at his anxious appearance, with pity in her eyes, and said with a cold smile: "It's really useless. Our lady has many boxes of night pearls."

Jin Sheng was taken aback: "But this, this..."

The girl answered: "This one can remember things, right? But our lady doesn't want to remember anything at all right now, I wish I could forget all of them. It's not bad if you take Wangchuan water."

As if struck by lightning, Jin Sheng couldn't believe it: "But she clearly said—"

The girl interrupted him: "So what? Have we made a list yet?"

Jin Sheng wanted to argue, but he heard a voice from the attic.

"Xiao Tao, where have you been? Come back and help me find the rabbit!"

The voice of a delicate young woman.

Jin Sheng was stunned, and hurriedly turned his head to look where the voice came from.

Xiaotao was startled when she heard the sound, and with great strength she didn't know where she came from, she pushed with both hands, pushing Jinsheng to the ground outside the door, then lowered her voice and hurriedly said: "Go away! Don't let our lady see you!"

After speaking, he immediately closed the door and hit the bolt.

The ear-piercing sound of closing the bolt, the disgusted expression as if driving away some unlucky dirt... Jin Sheng fell to the ground, his mind blank and unable to move.

I don't know how long it took, and the sound from the attic could no longer be heard, and Jin Sheng stood up unsteadily, and left in a daze.

Not wanting to meet the crowd, he walked a long and remote road, paved with black gravel, and was scorched hot in the summer sun near noon.

As he was walking, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in the soles of his feet. Jin Sheng looked down and saw that the thin cloth soles had been pierced by sharp gravel, and a few drops of blood had seeped onto the road.In an instant, he was furious, and when he saw the cyan beads in his arms, which were almost the same color as the gravel, he was even more furious. He lifted them up high with both hands, and dropped them heavily.

Amidst the crisp sound, round and clean cyanine beads fell to the ground one after another, and they were all broken into pieces.

It happened that an ox cart full of pig manure passed by, and the heavy and thick wheels ran over the shards of cyanine beads, crushing them into powder, blown up by the smelly wind, floating up and landing with fluorescence.

Jin Sheng didn't look back at them, and staggered towards the house like a drunk man.

When I got home, I saw the wisteria frame in the courtyard, lush and full of vitality.Jin Sheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly showed anger, picked up the ax and sickle from the corner of the wall, stepped forward and hacked it.

After a while, he lay panting on a pile of fallen wooden sticks and vine leaves, threw away the ax and sickle, slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep under the scorching sun.
