The bright moon sits on the ground

It was raining lightly on the Carp River.

As the winter warms up, the ice and snow melt. As Fang Qisheng said, you can’t see the beautiful scenery of the Li River in winter. You can only get a glimpse of it with the help of the flickering sunlight. The smooth and round pebbles sink quietly at the bottom of the shoal. There was a layer of gloom in the drizzle.

Whenever the raindrops hit the paper umbrella surface, it will make a crisp sound like drumming.

Nie Qiu pressed the oil-paper umbrella against his shoulder blades, lifted the hem of his clothes, squatted down, dipped his fingers into the icy cold river water, and stirred it gently a few times. The ripples of the water stagnated for a moment, and then were swallowed by the rain again. fall deeper.

He fumbled in the floating water for a while, and took out a stone. The color of the stone was not clear, it could be said to be disorderly,? Light orange, indigo,? traces of filth.

It's really ugly, Nie Qiu thought. Once the clouds cover it and the rain falls, there will be only lifeless ashes left in this place known as the Li River.

With a plop, he threw the stone back into the river, held the handle of the umbrella again with wet fingers, and stood up holding the umbrella.

Only on rainy days, at such a quiet moment, the world is separated by a hanging curtain, and all the noise outside has nothing to do with me, only the vast rain and fog, only the gentle heartbeat, and even the air-conditioning when breathing is extraordinarily gentle .

Nie Qiu stood in the rain for a while, when eager, cheerful footsteps sounded.

From far to near, the feet are not light, the movement is very loud, patter, patter, without any scruples about the splashes that are stepped on.

The visitor was gasping for air, obviously extremely tired. The exhaled air condensed into white mist in the air, and was blown away by her action of closing the umbrella. She bent down and got under Nie Qiu's umbrella, shaking it off The remaining drops of water on the oil-paper umbrella uttered a smile.

"Brother Nie." The little girl skillfully opened up the chatterbox, "Please come here on a rainy day."

Nie Qiu turned the oil-paper umbrella slightly to Xiao Xueyang, shook his head, and said, "No problem".

When Xiao Xueyang heard the words, he complied and asked, "Where is Master Fang?"

Early in the morning, Nie Qiu woke up and saw the rain falling outside the window. He knocked on Fang Qisheng's door to ask him if he would like to eat something first to fill his stomach. After Fang Qisheng listened to his words, he pondered for a moment and asked him what was going on outside. Is it raining.

Nie Qiu replied, "It's raining lightly outside."

Fang Qisheng said, "Do you know what to do on a rainy morning?"

Nie Qiu looked at him, not knowing why.

Fang Qisheng said, "Sleep."

Only then did Nie Qiu understand what he meant. On rainy days, you should not get up early, but sleep peacefully in a warm bed. The sound of the pattering rain is just a song to help you sleep——Fang Qisheng doesn't like Lai However, Nie Qiu remembers that he looked sleepy every day when he was in the Demon Cult, maybe it was because the dreams at night were too noisy, but now the memory is fused, and he is always disturbed by those completely different memories , Fang Qisheng should be more sleepy.

So let him sleep peacefully in the sound of rain.

"Okay." So Nie Qiu smiled slightly, "Then I'll go pick up Xueyang first, and bring you morning tea when I come back."

Recalling what happened not long ago, Nie Qiu unconsciously slowed down and said, "He should still be sleeping."

Xiao Xueyang nodded, with the word "clear" written all over her face, she didn't know if she understood it or not.

Now that the person has been picked up and it is raining outside again, Nie Qiu is going to take Xiao Xueyang back to the inn first, let her live in the room prepared in advance, pack up her things, and wait until the rain stops and the number of people on the street gradually increases. I can move.

Nie Qiu originally thought so, but when it was time to go back to the inn, the little girl beside her couldn't move her feet.

"That, Brother Nie." Xiao Xueyang looked up at Nie Qiu cautiously, then quickly lowered his gaze, twisted his cuffs with his fingers, and said hesitantly, "Can you go back to the inn later? I have something to say to you .”

Her expression showed that she had finally mustered up the courage. If it was a different time or a different place, it would be as if she couldn’t speak anymore. Nie Qiu looked down at her and realized that the exhaustion on her face was not because The body is exhausted, but inside.

"Because these words are really a bit silly, Brother Nie, just think that I just woke up and said what I said when I was not conscious." After she finished speaking, she didn't dare to lift her head, showing a bit of shame on her face. I also felt stupid, so I changed my words and said, "Well, it's okay if you don't want to hear it. In fact, I think it's okay not to say it. It's better not to say it."

"There is a gazebo a few miles to the east." Nie Qiu said, "It's raining heavily outside, so you can go there and rest your feet."

Then, he felt something vaguely in his heart and asked, "What is it about?"

"It's about those dreams." Xiao Xueyang breathed a sigh of relief, and slapped Nie Qiu in the direction, as if she felt cold, and after a few inches of distance, Nie Qiu still found that she was trembling, trembling like fear, "I wrote it in the letter I sent out before. This is actually quite difficult to say. It is still a dream related to Lin Du. I thought it was funny at first, but..."

Nie Qiu interrupted her, freed a hand, and gently pressed it on Xiao Xueyang's shoulder, "I'll talk about it later."

Sure enough, not only Fang Qisheng, but even Xiao Xueyang completely remembered those things from his previous life.

It happened to be a rainy day and it was early morning, so there was no one in the gazebo. Nie Qiu turned around and put away the oil-paper umbrella, shook off the raindrops on the umbrella, closed it with a click, and leaned against the stone pillar beside him, and then he sat on Xiao Xueyang's Opposite, looking at the person in front of you.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it became a rain curtain around the pavilion, which was hazy, and the distant scenery was hidden in it.

"Actually, I was not allowed to leave the Holy Medical Pavilion. It was my master's permission to go down the mountain, so I was able to come to Lihe." Xiao Xueyang took out two small porcelain bottles from the medicine box, handed one to Nie Qiu, and unscrewed the other by himself. He drank it down, "Master may feel that I am not normal recently. To be honest, I think so too. He even called me over to check the pulse a few times, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Nie Qiu also unscrewed the bottle stopper and swallowed the bitter dark brown liquid in the bottle. Not long after, his body temperature, which had been getting colder due to the rainy weather, picked up, and his body seemed to be lit with a campfire, and he was no longer as cold as before. , and even a little hot.

"Before, I always dreamed about Lin Du, so many that even I felt bored."

She shook her legs, and the water droplets on the hem of her clothes fell to the ground, leaving deep black marks.

"I also dreamed about you. I also wrote in the letter I sent you before. In the dream, I seemed to have endless hatred for you. What I wrote at that time was that I don't know where the hatred came from , and why did it arise." Xiao Xueyang said, "At the beginning, I just thought it was ridiculous, and I woke up laughing in the middle of the night. Everyone in the courtyard was woken up by me, and the master came over angrily and questioned me. I said it was a dream. I woke up laughing, but he didn’t believe me, so he wanted me to tell him, but after I told him he didn’t think it was funny, so he punished me for copying the book.”

"Later... Later I often woke up crying in the middle of the night." Xiao Xueyang paused for a moment before continuing, "Master Xunsheng came to find me, and I obediently got up to copy the book. He was startled and stretched out his hand He tried my forehead and found that I didn’t have a fever, so he told me to stop copying books and go back to sleep, but I refused, and the master wondered if there was something wrong with my brain.”

After that, the masters, brothers and sisters in the courtyard often looked at Xiao Xueyang with worried eyes.

Because she used to never like to go to bed late, but now she refuses to go to bed, not even coaxing or tricking her.

Moreover, even if she was coaxed to bed, she would wake up crying in the middle of the night, huddled in a corner, sobbing.

"Because I thought it was too absurd, I never told anyone about the later dream." She said, "I know, it was just a dream, but the pain in the dream was so real. shed tears."

Xiao Xueyang said in a low voice: "So, Master gave me permission to go down the mountain, in fact, he wanted me to come out and relax."

Nie Qiu could guess that she had a bad life in her previous life. She could tell from the Jia family's banquet. She didn't know what she had gone through to make Xiao Xueyang, a cheerful and outgoing girl by nature, turn into such a gloomy look.

He didn't speak, just listened quietly, nodding occasionally.

Because Nie Qiu knew that what Xiao Xueyang wanted at this moment was not persuasion, but listening.Even if it was a piece of elm wood, she just wanted to say all the words buried in her heart, and only when she said them happily could she feel comforted.

"Brother Nie." Xiao Xueyang gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind, "After this, can you not tell others?"

"Don't tell Fang Jiaozhu, don't tell Huang Sheng, don't tell my father, don't tell Lao Wu, even if you forget it after you go back, it's okay to take it as a trivial matter, just say it as I was confused for a while It’s okay to talk in your dreams.”

Nie Qiu stared at the man in front of him who smiled reluctantly, and said, "Well, I know, I will keep it a secret."

Xiao Xueyang relaxed her body and leaned against the wooden railing with half of her hand on it. The rain outside the pavilion sometimes splashed on the back of her hand, but she didn't know it. How to speak.

"I." She paused and couldn't help explaining, "Let's call it 'I'."

"I met Lin Du in the imperial city, not at the Lantern Festival, but in an alley that can be seen everywhere. I had just left home not long ago. When I heard that my father had come to the imperial city, I hid everywhere, afraid He found out and took me back."

Lin Du was very gentle, and after offering his help, he asked, is someone chasing you?

Even though Xiao Xueyang remained vigilant, he didn't tell the truth and deliberately concealed his identity, which was regarded as acquiescing to Lin Du's words.

They once went to the temple to listen to devout monks reciting scriptures at moonset; they once waited until dawn on the top of Suifeng Peak, just to catch a glimpse of the warm morning glow that burned the sky; they once exchanged red threads at the Lantern Festival in the imperial city Go to the river to put lanterns.

However, the story was wrong from the start, and once there was one lie, there were more lies.

When walking through the deep woods, a snake dropped half of its body from the branches, spitting stars to demonstrate to them, Xiao Xueyang was actually not afraid, she was raising it herself, how could she be afraid of that kind of snake that is not very poisonous, but Lin Du The first reaction was to protect her behind him, Xiao Xueyang was stunned for a moment, originally wanted to say that she was not afraid, but turned around a few times but couldn't say anything.

Because he was afraid that Lin Du would find out that she was raising snakes, Xiao Xueyang secretly released all the snakes.

Because Lin Du's family background is not good, he often feels inferior because of this, so Xiao Xueyang has never been able to reveal her identity.

Because he knew that Lin Du liked delicate girls, Xiao Xueyang properly hid his medical skills.

When she left the Xiao family, Lin Du was the first friend she made, and the first person she liked was Lin Du, so she clung to the last straw, refusing to let go, preferring to let go of her All weight removed.

She was afraid that the fragile straw would break, so she abandoned everything, just to stay on the edge of the cliff for a moment longer.

Lin Du was abandoned by his father since he was a child, so he lacked a sense of security. He would always ask Xiao Xueyang if he would abandon him, and then he would say, it doesn't matter, I can protect you, as long as you stay by my side That's it.

Later, the relationship between them has almost become sick.

Every time he mentioned that world-famous young swordsman, Fu Chonghong, Lin Du would sigh, fortunately you are not her, you see she is always alone, a girl does not need to be too independent, otherwise no man would dare to approach her.

Xiao Xueyang listened, and swallowed all the secrets countless times, his blood was poured cold.

It was an unsolvable ring, the more Xiao Xueyang refused to let go, the more he lost.

Finally, when the straw broke, she suddenly realized that she had nothing left.

Xiao Xueyang's words stopped here, she was silent for a long time, only the dull sound of rain could be heard in the pavilion.

Nie Qiu saw her eyes struggling, almost painful, as if hesitating whether to continue talking, he couldn't bear it, sighed subtly, and said softly: "If just remembering makes you feel uncomfortable, then, don't It's okay to say."

"No." Xiao Xueyang became firm because of Nie Qiu's words, his eyes gradually calmed down, and he looked at him again.

"I know it's just a dream. If I can't even say it, it's even more impossible for me to untie this knot."

Nie Qiu thought to himself, that was not a dream, but something real and actually happened, but he didn't say anything.

"I have an heir." She said in an extremely indifferent tone, "To be precise, it was once, almost once."

That's why Xiao Xueyang felt pain, even disregarding his face, he wanted to ask for an explanation at the Jia's banquet.

From the moment she realized that Lin Du left early and returned late, she wanted to ask Lin Du for an explanation, but Lin Du always avoided talking about it, so Xiao Xueyang endured the pain and the nausea that almost made her dizzy, After chasing Jia's house, he was questioned in public.

Nie Qiu is actually just a guide.fire.That's all, no matter who it is, the fierce quarrel between them cannot be avoided.

Then, Lin Du was slapped in the face in public, and he reprimanded loudly, "I just like him. How can you compare to Nie Qiu? He is beautiful, martial arts, gentle and considerate. Look at him again." Look at your appearance, Nie Qiu is much better than you!"

Power, Xiao Xueyang thought, eternal power, after all, Lin Du couldn't resist the temptation, and wanted to get more benefits.

Lin Du didn't like Nie Qiu too much, he just liked Nie Qiu's background, so he felt bad.

I used to have these too.She suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and only then did she realize that this path was dead from the beginning, no matter how she walked, it was wrong.Lin Du first made her leave everything behind, and now he wants everything she once had.

Xiao Xueyang noticed that Nie Qiu's mood was not right, so he stopped the words in time, and reminded in a low voice: "That was just a dream."

That's true, it's all true, it's true that Lin Du abandoned you, it's true that you abandoned your face.

Nie Qiu took a deep breath and did not answer Xiao Xueyang's words. He pressed his temples that were throbbing, and the sudden anger made the rain pour on him, but it failed to extinguish the flames, and could only make it burn even more. presumptuous.

It would have been fine if he had killed Lin Du directly. He pressed Hanshuang on his waist, and could even feel his fingers trembling slightly.

If, on the day of the Lantern Festival, he did not choose to let Xiao Linglong pass by at a short distance, but chose to go there by himself, in a dark corner, other people were admiring the fireworks, quietly solving a person, simply is a breeze.

Nie Qiu gritted his teeth and thought, he regretted it, regretted it thoroughly.
