ride on the back of a dragon

Carat took him into a guest room: "If you don't mind, you can rest here tonight. It's very safe here." No one has lived in it for a long time, and the window sills of the room are a little dusty.Carat went back and changed into a neat set of clothes. He asked Hill to go to the garden to rest for a while, and he brought a bucket of water to clean the tables, chairs and windowsills.

When he plucked up the courage to speak, Carat was very nervous. He didn't expect Hill to agree to his invitation, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Hill is a quiet person. Not only is he reticent, it is difficult for Carat to judge this person's emotions from his body language and facial expressions, except for the moment when he said that Bubble was his daughter outside the city. Aside from the inexplicable sense of oppression and hostility, Hill was quiet and calm, even when he was attacked by a strange bird.

Clara pushed open the window, and the mature and somewhat indifferent guest was sitting by the water lily pond, Bubble nervously grabbed his arm and didn't want to go into the water.The bigger this lizard is, the less it likes water.

After tidying up the room, Carat went to the kitchen to find a small box of reddish-brown dry tea leaves. The rich tea aroma was mixed with a hint of grape flavor.He doesn't know much about tea, but drinking tea seems to be a compulsory way of hospitality.According to the way my mother made tea in memory, I brewed a cup of milk tea and served it to Hill.Even though it was late, they should have gone to their respective breaks, but Carat didn't want this special night to be over.

"You...what do you call it?" He tentatively sat beside Hill, quite close to him.Except for his father, he hadn't sat side by side with someone so close for a long time.

"Fleur." Hill sat on the spot without any discomfort, and only took the porcelain cup with the tray in his hand.The brim of the cup is a circle of complex flower totems, which matches the style of the manor very well.The man studied for a while before taking a sip. Carat felt that this was probably due to the cautiousness of people who walk outside all year round.

"So your lost lizard is called Fleur?" From the moment he stuffed the bubble to Hill, the lizard never left the other party, always sticking to Hill's stomach.Carat's psychology is a little unbalanced. It is obvious that he is the one who took the trouble to raise this little guy for two years... Little heartless: "It stands to reason that reptiles are very territorial, so they are not easy to get lost."

The other party didn't respond for a long time. Carat turned her head and glanced at him. Hill frowned slightly and was looking at herself without a word.He was a little confused, and reached out to touch the bubble lying on Hill's thigh: "She is very special, unlike the cold skin of other reptiles, it is always warm to the touch, so it is very comfortable. "

This time, Carat saw it clearly. When he said the word reptile, there seemed to be small veins throbbing on Hill's forehead. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just lowered his eyes and looked at Bubble and sighed. , a pair of uncomfortable swallowing.

"Are you here for business?" Carat wanted to ease the inexplicably awkward atmosphere, and changed the subject.He could tell at a glance that Hill's attire was not from the locals. The Valley of the First Moon was warm all year round. People here liked light and colorful clothing, mostly gauze. Boys and girls showed their limbs to their heart's content with large patches of bronzed skin on their backs.And Hill's dress is too plain, with a large black cape with a hood, short at the front and long at the back, worn over a black vest and trousers, with a simple leather belt around his waist, and a pair of short leather straps that don't often appear in desert areas on his feet. boots.His complexion is a healthy wheat color, and although he is dressed in a low-key manner, there are a pair of gorgeous hollowed-out metal bracelets on his wrists, in which several green gemstones of different shades are inlaid.Carat could only recognize emeralds and titanites, the same color as his eyes.

The Chuyue Valley is located in a desolate place, and its products are not very rich.But there are still an endless stream of businessmen coming, some driving carts and some riding horses.They traded with many things that are not available here, and exchanged for the special gold ore and precious white camels in the desert. Many people also came here for the exquisite spinning skills of the desert women, and sometimes took away a cart of woven goods. The finished product sometimes takes away one or two skilled female workers.And those who were taken away never came back, only occasionally the postman who came once in a few months brought back the letter package.The letter is nothing more than telling the family that they are safe, and chatting a few words about "outside" by the way.Carat knew that the outside world was big and beautiful, but he never had the chance to go out and see it.After his mother left, Carat became his father's only connection with the world. He couldn't bear to leave him alone in this old manor that should be sealed in the pages of a book, but his father refused to go out with him no matter what.He doesn't want to be Carat's burden.

Hill took a sip of milk tea and replied vaguely: "Yeah." He didn't seem to want to say too much about himself.But the more mysterious she is, the more curious Carat is.And judging from Hill's attitude, he doesn't dislike himself.This made Carat feel very fresh, after all, no one here was so friendly to her.Those businessmen in the past always had a cold face in a hurry and disdained to be approached by others.

"Are you here for ore?" Most of the merchants who came for white camels and Qingsha were driving carts to load goods.And Hill came here on foot in light clothes, a small bag of precious ore was not noticeable but valuable.

"...Hmm." Hill stared at the water lily pond as if in a daze.Carat also shut her mouth tactfully, and just sat quietly on the side.

Hill put his hand into the pool and thought about it: "Have you lived here all this time?" He suddenly asked.

"That's right, I haven't left Chuyue City since I was born." Carat curled her lips: "The farthest place I've been to is probably a mine in the desert. There is only yellow sand along the way."

"I mean, this manor." Hill looked at him probingly: "Is there anyone else living here?"

"Yes, when I was young, I had my grandfather, mother, and servants. But after my grandfather passed away, only my father and I lived together."

"Where's your mother?" Hill asked.

"...um...not sure. She left many years ago." Carla said: "People here don't like her, saying she is a bad omen. Silver eyes represent disaster."

A disaster... Hill looked at Carat's calm silver eyes, he really didn't look like a child who was born and raised here.

"Do you have any other sisters?"

"No. I heard that I didn't worry much back then, and I delayed the birth for a long time, which made my mother spend a lot of effort. After giving birth to me, her health became very poor, and she couldn't have any younger brothers and sisters at all. Give it to me." Carat looked lonely.This is the loneliness he didn't have when he talked about unknowns and disasters.

Hill has always had a dislike for humans.This is an innate instinct, as if he knew that human beings are cowardly, cunning and dishonest. They are bloodthirsty, feisty and feisty, and arrogantly want to control the world.But the strange thing is that they are obviously a group of short-lived and selfish creatures who have no awe of nature, but they can really dominate the world step by step.They took root in all suitable and unsuitable lands, and grew stronger and stronger.

But he didn't hate this harmless little ghost in front of him at all, and even thought he was a little cute. Few humans have such a clean and pure temperament at this age.Not knowing whether it was because of his limited bravery that changed him just now, or because of the guilt that he almost killed him two years ago, Hill naturally put down his guard.

Although this little ghost has changed a lot in the past two years, all signs show that Carat is the creature who was pushed to the bottom of the water to vent his desire in a daze. There is no second beautiful little ghost like him in a hundred miles.Although he should have caught a girl in his memory, but it was night at that time, he was unconscious, and the girl had long hair fluttering and fair skin, so it was normal to admit his mistake.

"Do you have a lover?" Although Carat has only one, but for human beings who have only a few decades of life, it is already the age to talk about marriage.

"Huh?" Carat blushed too obviously.

"No?" Hill deliberately tested his reaction, he was not sure if he had done anything to him at the time.Fortunately, judging by his appearance, the situation at the time shouldn't be too bad, and Carat didn't seem to have left any psychological shadow.

"No, no...I..." Carat didn't know if the other party meant to laugh at him in this rhetorical question.

He doesn't have a lover, which doesn't mean he doesn't have someone he likes, even though what he likes may be just an illusion, but after that dangerous and beautiful dream, he did have some new experiences.He seems to understand a little bit why there are always men and women who stick to each other in various corners and love each other.He rummaged through countless love stories in the study, and saw a person hugging and kissing another person, and the girl with long black hair, beautiful eyes and a big tail also occasionally entered and exited his dreams, but it was not like that with aggression Sexually tough, he did not drown again, but was comfortable and at ease.

Every time he thinks about it, he feels a warm itch in his heart, even though everything is hazy.Carat privately regarded her as the lover in her dream, and insisted that this unexplainable feeling was the heartbeat.

But in reality, his love life is blank.

"Hmm." He replied vaguely, skipped the topic, and glanced at Hill with guilt, not even daring to meet the other's eyes: "Well, Ming, tomorrow, I'll take you to the mine..." He was afraid that the other party would continue to question him, so he hurriedly said good night and rushed back to the bedroom.

He was not at all elegant tonight.Carat buried her face in the pillow with infinite remorse, she shouldn't have gone to get dried beef for Pao Pao.But if Bubble hadn't run out, he wouldn't have met Hill. The desert at night was still a bit dangerous. This lonely businessman would definitely be attacked by that strange bird of prey.

Thinking of this, he felt a little relieved, at least he saved the other party, so a little bit of embarrassment should be ignored under his brave and handsome performance... Although there are not many people he usually helped. Thanks to him, but Hill seems to be different, he will not deliberately avoid him like other people, Hill will look directly at him, those eyes seem to allow Carat, who lives in the eternal summer, to see himself The unseen spring of revival.

Carat woke up just after dawn.It should be said that he did not sleep well.For so many years, this elderly manor has not received any guests.Carat couldn't help being excited when she thought that she had invited a young man as a guest, tossing and turning on the bed.

Carat was neatly dressed, with her long hair tied high on top of her head.It is rare to go to the mine without wearing a breastplate. He just wanted to take Hill to visit today.

There was no movement after knocking on the guest room door for a long time. Carat's heart sank. Could it be that Hill has left?What about the bubble, was it taken away too?Feeling lost in his heart, he hastily opened the door.

Hill didn't leave without permission, he was in a deep sleep, and he didn't hear such a heavy knock on the door.He was curled up on his side on the bed, Bubble was tightly attached to the man's abdomen, and his sleeping face was full of satisfaction.

Bubbles never let strangers touch him, not even Carat's father.But since Hill appeared yesterday, this proud little lizard has changed from normal. Its unusual closeness to Hill made Carat a little shaken.Could it really be Hill's lost pet?If it is true, Carat is a little bit reluctant to think that the little guy who has been with him day and night for two years may be taken away.But knights must be honest, let alone plunder other people's things.

He reached out and touched Bubble's warm scales, but he didn't expect that Hill suddenly turned over without warning, from sleeping on his side to lying on his stomach. Before he could withdraw his hand, he was clamped on Bubble's hard back. Between Hill's soft belly.

This action is too rude!Carat froze for a moment and did not dare to move. At this moment, Hill slowly opened his eyes.

Crouching in front of the bed, Kela looked desperately at the pair of eyes that were close at hand, defenseless in the yellow-green light.How could he convince Hill that it was just a misunderstanding and that he had no intention of offending him?

"Good morning, Hill." He squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.

"What's wrong with your face..." Hill yawned, with a lazy hoarse voice: "Are you hot?"

He didn't seem to notice anything wrong, until Cara reluctantly moved her pinched fingers, Hill's abdomen tensed suddenly, and he looked down.

"I can explain..." Cara was desperate: "Things are not what you think..."

Honeymoon:

Clara: It's over.Am I going to be labeled as a pervert and hit on the public screen?
