Or maybe she was just calling someone else, she thought as her steps became faster and faster.
Because someone was clearly following her behind her. The footsteps sounded like that of a mortal, and his breath was calm. He must have practiced martial arts.
She stopped suddenly. The people behind her obviously didn't expect her to stop and almost bumped into her. However, they controlled their pace when they were about to bump into her and stood still only a foot away from her.
"Who are you? Why are you following me? Who sent..." Simeng suddenly turned around and raised her eyes to look at that person coldly.
But just when she saw the man clearly, the words behind him fell silent.
The man looked at her steadily, his eyes full of joy and surprise. Although her face was dirty and her facial features could not be seen clearly in the night, the lavender light shining in her eyes made him unable to suppress the emotion in his heart.
Excited, it’s her, it’s her.
He thought he would never see her again in this life.
Unexpectedly, we would meet here.
"You all should step aside first!" His eyes were always on her face, but suddenly he raised his hand and a few men in black followed him, bowing respectfully, but they disappeared in an instant.
"Jun..." She opened her mouth to ask, but seeing that he was wearing regular clothes and seemed to be intentionally hiding his identity, she changed her words: "Why are you here, Master?"
She could clearly remember the previous discussions of those people. It was clearly said that he and Baili Bing had already set a wedding date, but as soon as Baili Rong died, he suddenly became seriously ill. In addition, Baili Bing had to observe filial piety for his mother for three years, so their
The wedding was put on hold.
Although he looks less energetic now than before, he only looks a little haggard. How does he look like a seriously ill person?
He did not answer her words, but looked at her quietly, with concern in the corners of his eyes and brows. The dust on her face must have been smeared on purpose, but it was unevenly applied and exposed to wind and sun.
Looking at the moonlight, it is actually a bit scary.
Xi Meng's heart tightened when he stared at her like this, and suddenly she remembered that he had the same look in his tent in the suburbs of Chenzhou that night.
She knew what it meant, but she didn't want to face it and couldn't face it.
Seeing that he had no intention of speaking, she grinned, took two steps back without leaving a trace, and distanced herself from him.
"If the young master doesn't want to say it, forget it. But meeting each other in this small town is considered fate. If the young master doesn't dislike it, how about having a drink with Shi Meng?" She has always had a cheerful temperament and does not want to force others to do anything.
Obviously, Sima Luocheng realized his gaffe.
"Meng'er misunderstood. It's just that I was too shocked and lost my temper just now. It's rare that Meng'er is willing to drink with me, so there's no reason for me to refuse. It's just that it's not very safe here, so Meng'er should come with me!" Sima Luocheng said as he spoke.
, turned around and walked forward.
Xi Meng was stunned for a moment, and then stepped forward to follow.
The two of them just walked in tandem without saying a word.
Until I followed him into a spacious alley, turned a few corners, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard gate with a red lantern hanging.
There was no one in front of the door, and the door was ajar. After Sima Luocheng raised his hand to open the door, he turned around and glanced at her, saying: "Come in, although it's not as lively as outside, but there are all kinds of food and drinks. Let's just eat together."
Let’s chat.”
After Xi Meng followed in, she discovered that the courtyard was unremarkable from the outside, but it was exceptionally clean and spacious inside.
As the door behind them creaked, two young women dressed as servants appeared out of nowhere. When they saw Sima Luocheng, they all bowed down to greet them, but Sima Luocheng didn't even look at them.
He just said in a deep voice: "Take Miss Meng down to bathe and change clothes. Serve her well, don't neglect her!"
Xi Meng was startled, and then he remembered that he had walked for an unknown number of days after coming out of the desert, without taking a shower, washing his face, or eating.
She must not smell very good now, so it's no wonder that others regarded her as a beggar along the way.
Xi Meng smiled apologetically at Sima Luocheng and followed the two maids.
Half an hour later, when she appeared in front of him again, he was distracted for a moment.
After all, this was not the first time I saw her dressing up as a man. Although I was a little surprised, I was not surprised.
Even though she was wearing a plain white robe, high strands of black hair, and no makeup on her pure and beautiful face, she still couldn't hide her world-famous face.
After gesturing for her to sit down, he sat down, filled the wine cup for her himself, handed it to her hand, and said: "Come, have a drink first, for the fate mentioned by Meng'er."
Like a dream, he raised the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. When he put the wine cup down, there was lingering sadness between his brows.
She didn't say anything, she picked up the jug and poured another cup. She was about to drink more, but she remembered that she hadn't poured it for him yet, so she put down the cup and wanted to get the jug again, but she saw that he had already filled it up for her.
Sima Luocheng held her hand holding the wine cup, shook his head to signal her not to drink anymore, put some food into her plate, and asked slowly: "Meng'er, what happened? Why are you alone?
Here?"
Xi Meng remained silent, staring at the table full of wine and food, stir-fried tripe, lily shrimps, braised carp, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed pork with rice flour...
They are all her favorite dishes on weekdays, and this pot of pear blossom stuffed wine has a faint fragrance of pear blossoms, which is refreshing and makes you drunk before you drink it.
It's hard for Sima Luocheng to still remember her preferences. In such a small place, it took a lot of effort to prepare these in such a short time.
It's a pity that although she was very hungry, so hungry that she even staggered when walking, she couldn't bring up any appetite while looking at the delicious food on the table.
What did he ask her just now? What happened? She also wanted to know, what happened? She also wanted to know why she was wandering here alone.
It's a pity that she didn't know that she had asked herself thousands and tens of thousands of times along the way. She also asked the sky and the earth, and even wanted to use her low spiritual power to use her voice to send messages and ask those far away in the heaven.
Master, why did she wake up alone in that desert of bones?
It's a pity that using her power to transmit messages to the master who is far away in the ninth heaven is almost like a dream.
But she clearly remembered that he walked into the desert with her that day, and he also told her the story about the "Desert of Dry Bones"...
The cold wind roared outside the tree house he built that night, but she hid in his arms without a trace of fear. Instead, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
Although she often worries that she does not belong here, she is afraid that one day she will sneeze and return to the past.
However, after that night, when she woke up from her sweet dream, there was only endless desert and loneliness waiting for her.
Mu Zili disappeared together with his Bodhi Tree House without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
At the time, she thought she was still in a dream, running around and shouting his name at the top of her lungs, but there was only the sound of wind in her ears and the sand under her feet was as hot as fire.
