Difficulty in deciphering

Chaoyang Chaoyu, who had never been accompanied by a maidservant, could be regarded as having a little girl by her side this time, but obviously the two of them did not regard Xiao Qi as a servant, but more like a friend.

Throughout late autumn, Chaoyang practiced swords in Lingxi Valley.She chose the place with the least number of people, and only brought Chao Yu and Xiao Qi with her.Whenever she started dancing swords, Chao Yu and Xiao Qi would sit on the hillside not far away and watch.Just watching and watching like this, Chao Yu would run to her side to make trouble.

"Yang, Lingxi has never used a sword since ancient times, why do you practice it repeatedly?"

"Who said Lingxi didn't use swords since ancient times...the war a long time ago...swords and shields were both useful." Hearing Chao Yu's question, Chao Yang answered seriously.

"That was all a long time ago." Chao Yu said. "Besides... Now we don't have a 'sword' in Lingxi, and no one will command and sacrifice them...You are like this..."

"But... what should we do if there is no shield in the next hundred years, and the spirit can't keep up with the power of the sword?"

"The next hundred years?" Hearing what Chaoyang said, Chaoyu puffed up. "Where will you and I be in the next hundred years?"

"Maybe... it's in Lingxi's history book." Seeing that Chao Yu's eyebrows were all wrinkled together, Chao Yang shook the sword in his hand and said with a smile. "Do you want to practice?"

"Cut—just—don't—do—!" Seeing that Chaoyang did not repent, Chaoyu simply ran back to Xiao Qi and sat down.

She puffed up and thought, if it wasn't for Mother not letting the people in Lingxi City practice swords, she wouldn't care about it.This time, Chaoyang practiced so much that his whole body was dirty, and he would scold him again when he went back, and he couldn't even eat!

Thinking of this, Chao Yu secretly opened it and glanced at Chao Yang again.She saw her sister's heroic figure in the golden light of autumn, with her skirt fluttering, she blushed instantly, and quickly closed her eyes.

Seeing that Chao Yu was lying on his back with his arms on his head, knocking on his legs, and eyes closed, Xiao Qi asked.

"You just went to ask Chaoyang what?"

"I'll ask her why she still has to practice swords when she has a shield." Chao Yu replied lazily.

"How does she answer?"

"She is worried about the consonance after a hundred years." Chao Yu replied, then murmured. "In the future...it would be great if Chaoyang became the Valley Master of Consonance..."

"She's the valley owner... what about you?" Xiao Qi smiled.

"Me? Of course it's Madam Gu."

"..." Hearing Chao Yu's answer, Xiao Qi's smile froze on his face, and he spoke for a while. "How is that possible?"

"How is it impossible?" Chao Yu asked confidently.

"She is your elder sister...not a man...not even a 'Dun'...She can't be the owner of the valley, and she can't marry you, right?" Xiao Qi said, but for some reason, she was moved by Chao Yu's wish. It became bleak.

However, after hearing this, Chao Yu didn't take it seriously, and Xiao Qi laughed when she heard her.

"Chaoyang will marry me. I will definitely..."

"Why so sure?"

"Because it's impossible for her to be so kind to another person again..." Chao Yu closed her eyes and replied softly. "In this world... only the two of us... are the closest to each other..."

"Yeah." The autumn sun was warm, Xiao Qi saw Zhao Yu was about to fall asleep, she took off her coat and put it on her, and said in a very soft voice. "You will be the closest existence to Chaoyang... no matter from what aspect... all..."

It's all...too far-fetched.

After Chao Yu fell asleep, Xiao Qi felt that the whole world became infinitely quiet.In the gentle wind, she held the "History of Consonance" in her hand and looked at the figure dancing sword in the morning sun.

After a while, she murmured.

"Xiao Yu, I think... the shield is not the only thing that can protect the spirit. Those who can't support the shield can also hold weapons and drive out foreign enemies. Like Yang, I also think... the sword... not only can attack, it can also Like a shield, it protects the spirit.”

Just as Chao Yu expected, Chao Yang would be punished by Mrs. Gu as soon as he practiced his sword, and he would be punished every time he practiced. There was no reason.I don't know if Chaoyang's personality followed Mrs. Gu's stubbornness. Under such strong resistance, she would still sneak out to practice swords and bring Xiao Qi with her.

For a long time afterwards, Chaoyang and Xiaoqi were kneeling on the open space outside the palace, and Chaoyu would bring them food in the middle of the night.Then the three of them would light a small bonfire under the eaves, chat while eating, and laugh unscrupulously until late at night.

"Wow! Sun! It's snowing!"

While chatting happily by the campfire, Zhao Yu felt a small drop of water falling from the tip of his nose.As soon as I looked up, the moonlight became hazy, and snow gradually fell.

"This year... Lingxi has snowed..." Chaoyang raised his head, staring at the moon in the snow in a daze.

"That's right, as far as I can remember, Lingxi has snowed three times...the first two times were a few years ago." Chao Yu raised his head and looked at the snow with Chao Yang.

"Doesn't Lingxi often snow?" Seeing Chaoyang Chaoyu so excited, Xiao Qi asked.

"Yes, there is almost no snowfall." Zhao Yu replied. "Does it snow in your country?"

"Yes, yes." Xiaoqi said. "As soon as winter comes...there will be heavy snowfall...every year many people will freeze to death..."

Although Xiao Qi replied lonely, Chao Yu was heartbroken when he heard it.She turned sideways, held Xiao Qi in her arms, and patted her on the back lightly, but Xiao Qi seemed to be smiling.

Chao Yu listened to Xiao Qi.

"Xiao Yu, the tip of your nose is red."

"You... the tip of your nose is also red!" Seeing that Xiao Qi was amusing herself instead, she puffed towards Yu, but found that Chao Yang hadn't responded for a long time, and then turned to find that the man was shocked looking at the moon. "Hello... Yang? Yang!"

"It's snowing..." Chaoyang slowly came back to her senses as Chaoyu pulled her sleeves. She looked at the torch in front of her and said softly. "Are...are you going to dream again?"

"What dream?"

"Yeah... what dream..."

Chaoyang murmured and repeated Chaoyu's question, but found that he was not very clear.

For Chaoyang, snow represents dreams.

Every snowy night, she would have the same dream, but when she woke up, she couldn't remember anything other than knowing that she had dreamed.

On this snowy night, Chaoyang returned to the dream that she had forgotten for a long time a few years ago.

It was an empty dream, and there was nothing in the dream, only a cold moon and large pieces of fine snowflakes.Chaoyang only felt that the brilliance of the moon was too bright...it illuminated the whole night.

"Why are you crying?" Someone asked in the darkness.

Chaoyang raised his hand to touch his cheek lightly, only to realize that his face was already full of tears.

"Because it's too cold...too lonely..." she replied.

"How do you feel lonely?" the voice asked her again.

"I don't know...I don't know..." Chaoyang replied blankly.

"But I know," the voice answered her.

"what do you know?"

"I know...every time you come here...I will warm up and become...not so lonely." The voice laughed, with rare affection in its tone. "You are my only light in the darkness..."

"Every time? What does it mean every time...Have I...been here before?" Chaoyang looked around, but couldn't find the owner of the voice. "Where is this place...you...who are you?"

"This is my dream." The man replied with a smile. "And I... I am... My name is..."

My name is...

"Yang! What's wrong with you, Yang? Wake up!"

Awakened by the anxious call, Chaoyang slowly opened his eyes.She looked at the person in the moonlight, her mind was wandering, and she asked in confusion after a while.

"Who are you……?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as this question was asked, the man's nose turned red.

"Xiao...Xiaoyu?!" Chaoyang looked at the red nose and woke up instantly.

"What did you ask me to do! You don't recognize me anymore!" As if he had been hit hard, Chao Yu turned away and curled up into a ball.

"I... I was dreaming just now... It was just a dream..." Seeing Chao Yu crying, Chao Yang hurriedly got out of bed, half kneeling beside the bed to wipe Chao Yu's tears. "Don't be angry, okay?"

"What dream?" Chao Yu had red rabbit eyes, and big teardrops fell down.

"I..." Chaoyang tried hard to recall, but found that he couldn't remember anything. "I do not remember……"

"Just lie to me! You idiot! You disgusting idiot..." Seeing Chaoyang's continuous guilt, Chao Yu knew that she really couldn't remember it, and it was even more sad in an instant. "You hate it! You hate it!"

"Well, I hate it, I hate it to death." Holding Chao Yu in his arms, Chao Yang said. "How could I not even remember Xiaoyu? I really hate it."

"You can't forget me... Absolutely not." Chao Yu leaned against Chao Yang's arms and cried hoarsely.

"En." Chaoyang was also sad when he heard her cry, so he gritted his teeth. "I will never forget Xiaoyu."

"Did you know? You were crying just now..." In the silent night, Chao Yu leaned against the corner of the bed and said. "I'm really scared... and worried..."

"I... cried?" Chaoyang asked as he sat next to her.

"Hmm... Tears line by line... I can't stop..." Chao Yu said, looking at Chaoyang with his head turned sideways. "Do you know that I, Chao Yu, am so big that I am not afraid of bugs, ghosts, tiredness, or darkness... I am only afraid of seeing you cry."

"I don't want to cry either." Chaoyang laughed, feeling sad by this emotion.

"Look, look! You have a frown!" Seeing Chaoyang's sad smile, Chaoyu raised his hand and smoothed her brows. "I have a soothing song, do you want to listen to it?"

"Is there anything else I haven't heard of?" Chaoyang asked.

"There are so many things you haven't heard of." Chao Yu gave her a white look, then got out of bed and carried Qin to the bed.

Chaoyang saw Chaoyu sitting upright on the bed, and with a light flick of his hand, a beautiful melody flowed out along the tiny strings.Chaoyang couldn't say that there was anything special about that song, it seemed to be floating in the clouds, and it seemed to be surrounded by white wings, which was extremely warm.

"Listening to this melody, I want to sleep again..." After listening to this for a while, Chaoyang smiled foolishly, as if he was drunk, and his heart settled down.

When Chao Yu saw that the idiot Chao Yang not only didn't appreciate his music, but also wanted to sleep, he became angry.She glanced at Chaoyang and said.

"What do you know, this rhythm is called Tianniao Yuyin."

"The lingering sound of the bird?" Chaoyang asked with effort to support his eyelids.

"It's... the song of the birds... on the sky..." Chao Yu murmured. "I understand them... so... compose music for them..."

"Xiaoyu...it really is very powerful." Chaoyang said so, leaning against the edge of the bed and closing his eyes.

"Stupid elder sister..." Chao Yu couldn't help but feel drowsy when he saw the man, so he put the Qin aside and looked carefully at Chao Yang's eyebrows.She just looked at it... and then her cheeks got closer and closer.

Every minute he gets closer to Chaoyang, Chao Yu's heart beats faster.Surrounded by the aura of Chaoyang, Chao Yu lost his mind for a moment.

lip.

Sunny lips...

want to……

really want.

Would love to... kiss her.

Zhao Yu just thought about it, and then closed her eyes and leaned towards him, but when she was about to kiss Chao Yang, she heard Chao Yang muttering softly.

"Who are you……"

"Why...in my dream..."

"Why... so lonely..."

The lips that were about to be covered just stopped by Chaoyang's mouth, and Chaoyu left her, staring at the fluttering snowflakes outside the window in a daze.

For the first time, she didn't expect Lingxi to snow.

not at all.
