Bevan Mountain

The night is not light, and the weather is covered with rain, and the depth of field outside the house is as deep as ink.

The few people in the hall, except Jiang Wuyue who was drinking tea, were all half drunk.

You'er has been uncharacteristically low lately, he stands up staggeringly, and is about to go back to the guest room to rest.Zhu Dabo sent someone to send him off, but You'er pushed him away.

I just walked through the curved corridor with a swaying step, but didn't go to the guest room, instead passed through another cave, walked along the lotus pond, and wandered to the corridor.

Jiang Wuyue feared that she would accidentally step into the pool, and followed her cautiously.It wasn't until she sat down against the pillars under the outer eaves of the boat that she breathed a sigh of relief.

The stone boat is built near the water, its structure is like a realistic hull, the decoration is elegant and decent, its shape is light, the breeze blows, and the water waves are agile, just like sailing at night.

A two-story wooden building was built in the cabin, and the lights in the building were not lit today.Only on the shore of the lotus pond, the stone lanterns along the road are shining brightly, reflecting the strands of rain that are nearby.

Although it was late at night, the air in the southern part of the country, which had not yet reached midsummer, was stuffy and humid, and the summer heat was still there. In addition, there was some drizzle along the way just now, and You'er's long hair was stained with moisture and slipped down from his shoulders.

You'er tilted his head, curled his fingers and curled his hair, and was stunned as if he was drunk.

Jiang Wuyue sat down straight by the pillar opposite her, quietly waiting for her.

It's just that you're wearing a summer white thin shirt, even though there is a light yellow gauze outside, the body heat from the wine is mixed with the rain, and the light of the fire in front of her still outlines her soft figure.

Jiang Wuyue reluctantly looked away, and listened carefully to the movement around her. After confirming that there was no one there, she looked away at the layers of lotus leaves behind You'er. The leaves shook twice when they were full of rain.

After a while, You'er seemed to wake up.She raised her head, her eyes were bleary, and she parted her lips with a charming drunken smile: "Jiang Wuyue, are you a monster?"

Jiang Wuyue hadn't been surprised by her joke earlier, she just smiled and said, "What's the reason this time?"

"Hmm..." You'er seemed to be thinking, but also seemed to be thinking about nothing.He just leaned against the pillar, his eyes sank tiredly, and slid across Jiang Wuyue's lotus-petal chin, stopped on the knot of her chest, and finally landed on his toes.

Jiang Wuyue waited for a long time, but did not wait for her next words.

It wasn't until Jiang Wuyue thought she was about to fall asleep that she straightened up a little, took out a short bamboo flute, pressed her fingers on the sound hole, and stopped moving.After a while of silence, he tilted his head and asked again, "Can you do it?"

Jiang Wuyue said: "A little bit..."

You'er smiled, and stretched out his hand to hand over the bamboo flute.

Jiang Wuyue looked at the bamboo flute in front of her, then at You'er's smiling face, hesitated for a moment, then stood up and took it.

The piccolo has a bright timbre, originally Youer asked Mu Yangzi to make it for her in order to tame the red heron, but later Mu Yangzi took it upon himself to compose a few more tunes, all of which are fresh and joyful.

It's completely different from the one I'm hearing now.

Jiang Wuyue stood under the eaves, her eyes drooped, her sleeves covered the flute membrane a little, her thin lips were slightly parted, and she breathed lightly, the firelight of the stone lantern beside her flickered.

A tune of floating wind, blowing up the sound of rain, freely shuttles through the dark and secret place, and after peeking into the floating light, the meaning of the song is suddenly vast, the sky is clear and the earth is bright, and it is in the same breath with all things, and travels with all spirits.

Finally, there is a long lasting charm of different routes leading to the same goal, quiet and euphemistic, slowly falling into the bottom of the pool, densely covered by overlapping lotus leaves, and never going back and forth.

Jiang Wuyue was still dressed in white, with one sleeve hanging down between her raised elbows, her jade arms were shining brightly, and her shadow was cold.

You'er is still drunk, and there is an ancient flute sound in his ears, echoing continuously, blowing the night wind, making him feel melancholy, his drunken eyes are blurred, and the rain and mist on the ground roll lightly, that person seems to be standing on top of the thin smoke, seems to be real It was a phantom, like a frustrated lonely fairy in front of him.

A trace of nostalgia appeared in You'er's mind.I don't know if it's the yearning for this pale and yellow song, or for this dusty rainy night, or for the soul-stirring scene brought about by the person in front of me...

Jiang Wuyue has turned around, her expression has not changed, but her eyes are a little cold.She walked up to You'er and handed back the bamboo flute.

You'er was still in a trance, when he suddenly saw the white fingers in front of him, Fang came back to his senses, took the bamboo flute, and asked with a corner of his mouth, "What's the name of this song?"

Jiang Wuyue said: "I don't know, I just heard it when I was a child."

"It's not like what people do today." You'er played with the bamboo flute in her hand, how many questions did she have to ask, which fairy cave she was born in, how she felt pity for the mortal world, and how she would return to heaven in the future. But I still remember the fragrance of this laurel wine on the eaves...

No, she didn't drink tonight, You'er lowered her head and laughed at herself: I was really disturbed by old man Zhu's phrase "a person like a fairy".

You'er raised his slightly drunken face, and pointed to the second floor with his backhand: "Shall we go up to play?"

Before Jiang Wuyue could reply in the future, he was hooked by the elbow and walked into the boat cabin.

The windows in the cabin were closed tightly, and only a dim light came in through the door opening.

You'er fumbled forward, bumping into the back of the table corner and chair from time to time, and the creaking sound continued, smashing the silence of the night to pieces.You'er listened to the excitement, and walked more recklessly and never tired of it.

Jiang Wuyue knew that she was playing, but she was afraid that she would fall.He grabbed her wrist with a flip of his hand: "Did you forget that you have a fire wishing talisman?"

You'er was still drunk, his footsteps were unsteady, he staggered and almost bumped into Jiang Wuyue.

She stopped in time with Jiang Wuyue's hand strength, and smelled the sweet breath on her face.

Jiang Wuyue turned her back to the door, leaving only one side of her delicate mandibular angle slightly reflecting a yellowish light.

She felt that there was something wrong with the wine tonight, or that there was something wrong with the song just now, or that there was a big problem with the person in front of her.

Otherwise, why would her chest be full all the time, as if she was full of heart and soul, but she couldn't get out a word.

Seeing her staring blankly again, Jiang Wuyue couldn't tell how strong or light her wine was, and now she was somewhat sober again, so she could only slowly pull her behind her, squinting her eyes slightly in front of her, blurring the scene in the room. After making a rough idea, he pulled her, found the stairs, and walked up to the second floor slowly.

On the first floor, there is still light from the candles beside the winding path, while the second floor is almost completely dark.Jiang Wuyue struggled to watch, fearing that You'er would start playing again, she tightened her wrist and slowly groped forward.

You'er's panic and composure came suddenly, the composure lies in knowing that she has excellent eyesight, as long as she follows suit;

As for the panic, You'er drank alcohol, but he couldn't think about these many things clearly, and because he drank alcohol, he didn't know what to do.

It was as if he was a blind man who couldn't see, and everything around him was undetectable, only the boundless darkness and a slender hand.

Like the flute music just now, it passes through layers of barriers and leads her forward.The sound of the rain gradually increased, covering the sound of footsteps, the sound of the heartbeat, and even the sound of breathing.Seven points of peace of mind, and three points of irritability.

As soon as the coolness eased from the wrist, You'er's peace of mind disappeared, leaving only restlessness.

Hearing the sound of the window bolts loosening again, You'er knew that when they reached the window, Jiang Wuyue was about to push the wooden window open.

She wanted to call Jiang Wuyue to stop, and wanted to stay in this darkness for a short time, but she couldn't find a reason.

The dim firelight outside the window slipped past the greased paper on the window.

The heat dissipated a bit, and a few strands of coolness were sent in along with the light.

To keep his heart and soul together, You'er restrained himself anyway, with a normal smile on his face, leaning against the window, looking at the very dim light blocked by the sky, the thin shadow that melted into the night, Pavilions and mountains lost in mist and rain.Sighed: "I should have climbed up and looked far away earlier."

Jiang Wuyue supported the window lattice with one hand: "The scenery is also unique now."

Looking at the light ink mountain scenery from a distance, listening to the rain beating the lotus leaves up close.Sitting here to enjoy the scenery of smoke and tune the piano is indeed a good place to enjoy the rain.

It's just that silence always leads to wandering thoughts, and You'er's thoughts drifted away again. Looking at the misty distant mountains, perhaps she was thinking too much about herself for a long time, and the tip of her tongue was numb with the wine, which made it difficult for her to speak clearly: "If you didn't If you met me, you might have arrived at Renshou Mountain by now."

Jiang Wuyue guessed and heard it, but maybe she didn't understand it, because she said with a mellow smile: "You said that you are my nobleman, and I should meet you."

"I was just joking..." You'er lowered her eyebrows, "Besides, I didn't help you much."

Jiang Wuyue tightened her fingers on the window lattice, she had never seen her look so disappointed, she said hurriedly, "If it wasn't for you... I might still be braving the rain to find wild fruits to eat at this moment—you really It is undoubtedly my nobleman."

You'er smiled contentedly, and didn't dwell on it.Gu Xuan stared at the specks of light on the wet stone slab under the dim light of the candlelight outside the window.

I only sigh that the light is too dim, and no amount of scenery can be appreciated now.Then he breathed out the alcohol and said foolishly: "If you can enjoy the rain by the moonlight, it will be beautiful."

Jiang Wuyue knew that she was still drunk, so she only responded with a slight smile: "If there is a moon, why does it rain?"

"That's right..." You'er squinted at Jiang Wuyue's face, stupefied in the dark, unable to see clearly, but still staring at it for a long time.

Jiang Wuyue was embarrassed by her look, and reminded uncomfortably: "Aren't you appreciating the rain?"

"Aren't you enjoying the rain on the moon..." You'er smiled lightly, knowing how teasing these words sounded, how could he know what kind of expression Jiang Wuyue was in at the moment with his drunken eyes.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, he leaned over and lay down by the window, tilted his head, squinted at Jiang Wuyue, and whispered tenderly, "The first time I saw you, I felt that the moonlight on you is stronger than others. Brighter, tell me, what is the reason?"

Jiang Wuyue withdrew her hand on the window, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm in vain..."

When You'er heard this, he laughed so hard that he patted the window frame.

Jiang Wuyue, who was hidden from the light, also smiled softly.

After chatting for a few more words, the alcohol brought out the fatigue, You'er was very sleepy, and led Jiang Wuyue back to their rooms to sleep.

Until noon the next day, several people came out one after another, gathered at the stone table outside the high pavilion, drinking tea and chatting.

Zhu Dabo first asked: "Did anyone hear the flute last night?"

Liu Xia shook her head in confusion: "I'm fast asleep, so I never heard it."

Qingyun also said: "I seem to have heard something in a daze, but I don't have a deep impression."

Jiang Wuyue's heart tensed up, no matter how she covered it up last night, the sound of the flute was hard to suppress.

"I played it when I was listening to the rain on the corridor boat..." You'er took out the piccolo from his sleeve and played with it, and asked with a smile, "Does it sound good?"

"What kind of song is this? It really makes people sleep well..." Zhu Dabo said, "Xiao Youer, why don't I call the musician, and you can teach him for two days before leaving."

You'er opened his mouth and came: "I ran into a five-element expert in the southeast before, and spent a lot of money asking her to teach me. Before I left, I told you not to pass the score to others. If you want to learn, send someone Go and find her."

Zhu Dabo laughed loudly: "Don't prevaricate me. I know you have a lot of knowledge, so it's fine if you don't teach. It's rare for you to come here, so you might as well stay for two more days."

You'er looked at the clouds that were gradually brightening in the sky: "There are important things to do on this trip, so it's inconvenient to stay longer."

Then he turned his head to Zhu Dabo and said with a smile: "If you pass through this place again on the return journey, I will definitely come to you to ask for wine."

Zhu Dabo hurriedly reminded again: "You brought me less wine this time than usual, remember to bring a few more jugs next time."

You'er responded with a smile.
