The bright moon sits on the ground

Even with Gu Huazhi's promise, Qin Rongchong is still not in a good mood.

Rather, after this incident, he woke up instead.

He likes beauties, and beauties are regardless of gender, so it's normal for him to have a good impression of Gu Huazhi.

Tan Rongchong has always been very tolerant towards beauties, and he never paid attention to the jokes made intentionally or unintentionally in the Shangchun Tower.However,? He got angry because of Gu Huazhi, and even said some unscrupulous words. Looking back now, Feishan's reaction at that time was also quite intriguing, as if he was testing him, and then got the expected result.

Moreover, because of a promise, I waited for a whole day beside Lingyan Lake...

This kind of thing,? He had never done it before, and he didn't think he would do it for anyone.

Really,? It's too abnormal, Qin Rongchong thought, he seemed to be divided into two parts, one part unconsciously approached Gu Huazhi, the other part kept reminding himself to stay awake, he couldn't always follow Gu Huazhi Huazhi walked.

Originally, he wanted to lure Gu Huazhi into his trap, but he rushed into the trap recklessly.

Not to mention thinking carefully, even if Gu Huazhi smiled, his chest couldn't help trembling.

Tan Rongchong has never thought about who he wants to stay with, never thought about who he will grow old with, he is floating, affectionate, wandering, never stays for anyone, and never puts his heart on anyone .

Fei Fan once said this to him.

"Would you like people?" She shook the round fan, "You won't like anyone. I think, you will only like what you can't get, what you never have, what you can't be, what you yearn for, Something you're missing, something you can never make up for."

After leaving the inn where Gu Huazhi was staying, Qin Rongchong did not return directly to the Qin Mansion.

As I said before, he doesn't like to pass Lingyan Lake at night, he would rather take a detour and walk a long way than take a shortcut.Coincidentally, the Liyuan was on that long road, so Tan Rongchong stopped by to have a look.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to relieve his mood, but unexpectedly bumped into Bu Lingqing again.

Counting it, Bu Lingqing has been in Liyuan for the past two days, maybe she came here specially to meet Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng took off the powder and ink on her face, revealing a fair and clean face. Except for the smart eyes, there seemed to be nothing particularly striking about that face. Compared with Bu Lingqing in front of her , and even worse.

She doesn't have many expressions on weekdays, she's a little dull, she speaks timidly, and when someone she doesn't know approaches, she will even be frightened, she hesitates to step back, and refuses to say a word, but after getting on the stage, It's like she's a different person.

The two were standing under the eaves talking, Tan Rongchong thought about it, and decided to go over to say hello.

Last time because of Gu Huazhi's presence, he didn't have time to say hello to Jiang Sheng, and he didn't have much time to greet Bu Lingqing.

After getting closer, Qin Rongchong realized that Jiang Sheng was holding something in his hand, which was a pastry wrapped in oiled paper.

She hesitated and handed the pastries to Bu Lingqing, and said, "Didn't you say last time that Chen Rong likes to eat these things, I just got some free time a few days ago, so I went to buy some, so you can bring them to her." ...It’s not expensive, you just take it.”

"Where is the free time? The channel was withdrawn in the middle of the night, so there were fewer people these days. When I went back to rest before, Sister Sheng's feet were bleeding, and she didn't know it hurt." Often come to serve tea The child who was pouring water pricked up his ears and listened, made a face to that side, and said loudly, "I've been asking for that pastry for a long time, and Sister Sheng refused to give it. What is it—"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Sheng hastily removed a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth, finally blocking that noisy mouth.

The child paused for a moment, chewed and chewed, and said vaguely: "Hey, that master really likes to listen to Sister Sheng's opera, and he set up the stage for several days, and he didn't let us go until midnight. It’s really not easy to break silver.”

Jiang Sheng frantically touched all the candy on his body, and piled up a hill in the child's palm before he was willing to rest.

Bu Lingqing smiled and looked at it for a while, and when Jiang Sheng turned her head with a flushed face, she shook the pastry in her hand and said, "I thank you for my little sister, she has always wanted to hear from you Next time I have a chance, I'll bring her over." Then, she sighed, took off the swing on top of her head, and leaned forward to put it on Jiang Sheng's hair.

"If you have any difficulties, don't be cautious, just tell me, we are not friends for a day or two."

Jiang Sheng responded muffledly, his lips moved, and just about to say something, he saw Tan Rongchong approaching again with his side eyes.

"Mr. Tan." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito. After all, she had spoken to Tan Rongchong several times, so she was not too shy. She said, "Today's play is over, I'm sorry to trouble you, sir. I hope you will come back tomorrow." Come again."

Only then did Qin Rongchong stride over, greeted the two of them, and patted the child's head.

"I didn't come to listen to the show today." He said with a smile, "I left in a hurry yesterday, so I didn't have time to chat with you two. I'm really sorry."

Bu Lingqing deliberately paused for a while, and after confirming that Jiang Sheng had no intention of speaking, he responded: "I had something important to do yesterday, and I couldn't say a few more words to Young Master Tan, it was my negligence, I hope The son won't mind."

After exchanging pleasantries like this for a while, Tan Rongchong keenly sensed that Jiang Sheng's mood was a little low, and quickly found an excuse, said goodbye to Bu Lingqing, and said that he would come to the theater in a few days. After speaking, he rubbed the soles of his feet with oil and left. Liyuan.

Now he is not in the mood to enjoy the Spring Tower, so Tan Rongchong went directly back to Qin Mansion.

Whether it was Tan Ji's words or Gu Huazhi's missed appointment, Tan Rongchong felt anxious and bored.

It seemed that everything was out of his control, but he could only watch helplessly, helpless.

The second stick of incense has been half-burned, and in the curling smoke, the dexterous fingers of the ghost passed through the seemingly disorganized thin threads, weaving continuously, and then took out what it wanted from it. The thread melts in as before.

Nie Qiu quietly looked at the graceful figure through layers of yin fire.

The soul is in the form of a young woman, who probably died young, with a step in her hair, embellished with pearls, and gently shakes with the movement, it should make a crisp sound, but it is hidden in the cool fragrance , without saying a word.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes embroidered with patterns of peonies and peacocks, which were as red as fire, making her pale face even more terrifying.

If you don't observe carefully, it is impossible to see some clues from the neckline that tightly covers the neck.

Among the entangled hair, behind the bright red wedding dress, there are traces of festering, which are the wounds left by the short sword. In a decisive way, from the bottom to the top, the throat was cut, like a rope, winding around the ground Wrapped around the slender neck, blocking all breathing.

He vaguely had conjectures in his mind, conjectures about those memories, conjectures about ghosts.

But Nie Qiu couldn't ask yet, rash guessing would only provoke resentment, so he just watched, didn't say anything, from the perspective of a bystander, waiting, observing, looking for the momentary flaw and opportunity.

On the other side, Tan Rongchong's story is still going on, just like a continuously flowing stream, and he sails against the current, upstream.

In the early morning of the next day, after meeting with the elder's parents and delivering food to Tan Ji, Tan Rongchong retreated back to sleep for a while.

No matter how you think about it, it's mediocre, he might as well sleep soundly, so as to sweep away the tiredness of the past few days.

Maybe it was a dream, not a beautiful dream. Although Tan Rongchong couldn't remember what he had dreamed about, his mood didn't improve after waking up. His head was groggy, as if he had gone through an escape in a dream. Also exhausted.

He was awakened by a knock on the door.

The maid lowered her voice and called out: "Young master, a son came to you. He claimed to be Gu Huazhi, the chief disciple of the Suifeng sect. Did you see him or not? If you don't want to see him, this servant will send him away. gone."

Tan Hongchong hadn't recovered from the drowsy dream, stared at the beam for a while, and then pinched the center of his brows, with a low voice, with a strong nasal voice, and replied: "Father specially asked me to , There are a lot of outsiders in the city recently, let me try not to go out of the mansion, lest I be harmed by thieves, so, you tell him that it is inconvenient for me to leave the Qin mansion, please invite him into the mansion."

What "try not to leave the house" is actually just an excuse.

The Qin family is a Gu-controlling family, everyone has the means to protect themselves, let alone Tan Rongchong who will inherit the position of Patriarch.

Although his father had indeed reminded him that many strangers had flooded into Xiayan City recently, it only told him to be vigilant when he went out, to bring more Gu insects on his body, and to ask a few more guards to follow him, nothing else. say what.

It doesn't matter whether he is lying in bed or angry, he invited Gu Huazhi twice, and he found reasons to shirk both times.

This is the third time that Tan Rongchong invited Gu Huazhi to come to Qin Mansion, if he refuses again, there is really nothing to say.

Perhaps Gu Huazhi also understood this point. After hearing the maid's message, he pondered for a long time, and finally agreed.

It's strange, in Tan Rongchong's impression, either he was waiting for Gu Huazhi, or Gu Huazhi was waiting for him.

After he finished grooming and tidied up his appearance, he pushed open the door, and the senior brother of the Suifeng sect was already standing in front of his door. In the narrow and winding corridor, he was standing with his hands behind his back, with a calm expression and a clear jade pendant around his waist. Reflecting thousands of willow branches.

Tan Rongchong had already thought about how to get rid of those embarrassing topics. He had already thought about it, but Gu Huazhi didn't give him a chance to talk about it. After greeting each other, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yesterday I'm sorry for the missed appointment."

He didn't waste his time explaining why he missed the appointment, he just asked Tan Rongchong how long he had been waiting, and then promised not to miss the appointment next time.

As for how to make up for it, Gu Huazhi hasn't figured it out yet. After all, the Qin family has nothing missing, and most of them are rare gadgets that others have never seen before. What kind of gifts can make Tan Rongchong happy? This question stumps him up.

So Tan Rongchong couldn't help laughing, and didn't take this matter to heart, and declined: "It doesn't matter if you don't send me off, I know you didn't mean to leave me there yesterday, that's enough, nothing else really matters .”

That's what he said. As for whether Gu Huazhi listened to it, he didn't know.

Because of "Entering the Abyss", there were quite a few people who came to rob them openly and secretly. In order to prevent some people from having crooked ideas and threatening the lives of the Qin family, the Qin mansion was heavily guarded, and there were guards in hard armor everywhere. It's striking.

As he walked through the corridor, Gu Huazhi's gaze stayed on the guards for a moment, and he asked a casual question.

"It's not something to hide, it can even be said that everyone knows about it." Tan Rongchong touched the tip of his nose and explained to him, "Because of the herbal medicine called 'Into the Yuan', many people came to see it." Come to fight for it. Do you remember the first time we met? At that time, those who wanted to kill and steal goods were not bandits, but actually disciples from various sects, all of whom came for 'Into the Abyss'."

Gu Huazhi thought for a while, his eyes drifted across the long and winding corridor, as if he was looking at the sky, but he didn't seem to see anything. After a few breaths, he retracted his gaze and asked: "I have something suspicious, I don't know if I should ask or not... The Tan family's Gu control skills are world-renowned, why are you so obsessed with something like 'into the abyss' that can catch fire?"

"My mother is seriously ill." Tan Rongchong sighed, "Things like Gu worms are not a panacea, they are just misunderstandings and prejudices of the world. If Gu worms can solve all problems, then what's the use of doctors in this world Woolen cloth?"

"You mean, even the best doctor can't solve the disease, Gu worms can't solve it?"

Tan Rongchong was surprised that he suddenly asked such a question, but he still answered honestly: "That's indeed the truth."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and saw the Adam's apple on Gu Huazhi's neck sliding slowly, and his lips were drawn into a line.

Are you hesitant to speak, or have nothing to say?

He found that he had never really understood Gu Huazhi's thoughts.

This was true during life, and it is also true after death. If it weren't for the remnant soul left by Gu Huazhi on the jade pendant, Tan Rongchong thought, he might never be able to truly see Gu Huazhi's thoughts in his entire life. Have you ever had the slightest nostalgia for yourself?
