Huo'er made a move of tilting his head and thinking.
Qiuqiu smiled.
Even if Huoer understands human nature, he can't speak or write. If he wants to ask a question of one plus one equals a few, it can still respond. If he asks such a complicated question, where can he answer it?
As a result, Huo'er actually stood up, rushed off the table, and jumped out of the window.
Qiuqiu had no time to care about anything else, so he jumped out of the window and hurriedly chased after him.
Where is Huo'er going?
If it is lost, I will not be able to explain to its owner if I look back.
I'm afraid there is no other spiritual pet in the world. At least Qiuqiu has never heard of anyone who can easily raise a few dragons to play with.
If you lose it, you can't afford to sell yourself.
Huo'er didn't run away without looking back. In fact, it was lying on the wall. When Qiuqiu shouted at it, its tail swayed and jumped down from the wall.
Qiuqiu called out to ancestors in his heart, and jumped onto the wall with a miserable life and followed it over.
The fire stops and stops, and the speed is not fast, so it maintains the level where Qiuqiu can keep up with no effort. If Qiuqiu is slow, it stops and waits. If Qiuqiu can keep up, it will run fast for a while.
Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment.
This...is it planning to take itself to somewhere?
Ah, was it because I just asked where the owner was, and Huo'er couldn't answer, so I just took her to find someone?
This place is all from Ziyu Pavilion, but Qiuqiu has never been to the direction where Huo'er comes.
The Ziyu Pavilion is very big, so I won’t talk about the head. Elders, ordinary disciples cannot go to where real people live, and there are some important places that are also warned that they cannot get close to.
Where is this place?
Qiuqiu subconsciously slowed down and began to look at the surrounding environment.
This place can be called "silence".
The small bridge and flowing water, on one side is the lush mountain wall, and on the other side is the green bamboo forest. The breeze blows by, and the bamboo leaves rustle and rustle.
Go ahead and turn a corner. There are three very ordinary houses. It is said that they are not fancy, with black tiles and pink walls, a large clay tank in front of the door, and water lilies are also raised in the tank, with beautiful leaves. The flowers are beautiful, and goldfish swim among the lotus leaves.
Huo'er jumped onto the windowsill and turned around and shook his tail towards Qiuqiu again.
Qiuqiu followed him hesitantly.
The windows are open, and the light inside the room is dimmer than outside, and the furnishings look like they have been used for many years.
Qiuqiu stretched out his hand, but Huo'er didn't move anymore this time. He jumped into her hand obediently.
"Did you bring me to find Shi'er?"
Huo'er nodded violently and stuck out her tongue.
This is a standard cute and reward-seeking style.
Qiuqiu thought to herself. I have really fed peanuts and dates with snacks these days, and I have really fed them and I have also fed them to cook them. I really don’t treat her as an outsider.
Speaking of which, it took her a bite when she met for the first time.
"It seems like he is not here now."
If the owner is not here, Qiuqiu is not good for entering other people's houses at will, and it is not convenient to stay here.
She sat on the steps in front of the door, and next to her was the clay tank. Huoer had been trying to jump on the tank for some reason.
Qiuqiu thought that it was unlikely that it would be interested in flowers. Most of the time it didn't want to jump into the tank and swim.
Do you want to eat those goldfish?
This autumn and autumn cannot let it go.
These fish look small, but their scales are as beautiful as gems and have a graceful body. They are definitely not a random variety - even if they are a little bit casual, they are ornamental fish, not edible fish!
How could we not be so embarrassing, Huo'er?
Qiuqiu felt that since he knew it, his respect for high-end creatures such as dragons has plummeted.
Collecting the legendary high-end creatures, the most unique thing is eating? No matter where you go, no matter what you see, take a bite first before talking about it.
So... idols, fantasies, are probably used to destroy them.
This tank is not too big, half a person tall. The flowers and fish inside look vibrant, achieving a perfect ecological balance.
The world outside is wide, but their world is only so big.
The shadow of autumn and autumn is reflected on the water.
The water surface is flat like a mirror.
Before Qiuqiu could change her clothes, she was still wearing the one that caused her trouble today.
Why would she stop wearing it for their dislike? The clothes were hers, and the master made them for her so that Qiuqiu would not change herself for the sake of others' rolling eyes and misunderstandings.
Putting on a new outfit, Qiuqiu felt that she looked different from usual.
It may also be because the shadow reflected on the water is not much the same as the mirror you usually look at.
People often do this. In the past, scholars painted portraits for scholars. The scholars usually only had a bronze mirror the size of a palm, and they were still blurred. After seeing the portraits the scholars painted on her, they shook their heads and said they didn't look like her.
People think that their appearance is often different from what others see her, and may even be very different.
What do you think of yourself in others’ eyes?
Qiuqiu was in a daze as he looked at the water surface.
The fish meandered quietly and moved down the water.
The shadows of clouds in the sky rippled with the fissures of the fish fins.
It was not until someone walked to her and another person's shadow appeared on the water that Qiuqiu came to her senses.
Shi'er is here.
"Huo'er brought me here." Qiuqiu felt it was necessary to explain.
Then she noticed the clothes on his body.
The other day he wore very simple clothes, like an ordinary scholar, blue, green, white. The most common one was white robes, or the same linen fabric that could be seen everywhere on the street.
Because dyes are expensive, all undyed cloths are cheaper.
But today Shi'er was wearing an elegant robe, which was pure and rich in ink black, without any variegated colors. The collar, sleeves and belt were pressed with dark gold lines. He stood there without saying a word. It was simply a kind of emperor on earth that could not compare to his might and nobleness.
Also, he was wearing a cloak, which was quite long, and that style was absolutely aristocratic.
It’s not that there are so many pearls and gems on it or how many patterns are embroidered. On the contrary, there is no decoration on this cloak, which is extremely simple, as if it is a piece of cloth cut out, and then the man will put it on his body even more casually.
nice.
Qiuqiu couldn't bear to take his eyes away from him.
He was not at all uncomfortable, and just stood there for her to look at it.
But when I looked at it again, Qiuqiu was a little puzzled.
This cloak seems...a bit familiar?
Qiuqiu didn't think much about it. Anyway, she would always look at someone, somewhere, or something from time to time. She had long been used to not looking for the root cause.
"You said you have no place to stay." Qiuqiu smiled proudly and pointed to the door behind him: "What is this? Did I discover it? You are the guest invited by the head of the sect? Have you visited the ceremony today?"
"Go." He never said much. Even when he had to say it, he always said it very briefly. Qiuqiu had long been used to it.
"I didn't even pay attention to you. There are too many people today."
The people in the hall were too numerous to count, so they had to distinguish them clearly. The project was so huge that the head of the sect himself probably couldn't do it. Qiuqiu was short and stood in a corner, and it was not easy to find Shi'er from the crowd.
"I saw you."
"Ah? Really?" Qiuqiu instinctively reacted that he touched his head and stretched out his clothes: "Is this clothes good-looking? Is it a new one, the first time I wear them today."
He glanced at her deeply, but he only answered two words: "It looks good."
Although the answer is insincere, his concentration makes up for the shortcomings of drowning eyes.
Qiuqiu's face was a little hot. She turned her face away uneasy and coughed and cleared her throat: "You're wearing something nice today."
The other party's answer this time was even more troublesome. He said "Yeah".
After entering the house, the two of them suddenly became quiet.
Qiuqiu had a lot to say to him. Today's ceremony, gossip between the head and the owner of the Oriental Island, and even those girls who are obsessed with real-life imitation shows are also a good topic.
But for some reason, when I saw him, I couldn't remember anything.
Shi'er asked her first: "What are you thinking when you stared at the water tank just now?"
"Ah... I didn't think of anything." Qiuqiu was telling the truth.
Her mind seemed to be blank just now, her eyes were staring at the lotus, swimming fish, cloud shadows and water ripples. She really had no idea and her head was completely empty.
"Like that flower? Or the fish?"
Since he asked, Qiuqiu thought about it seriously.
She thought that flowers and fish were both good, one was quiet and the other was moving. The quiet had its own charm, and the moving was even more pleasing.
But if you are serious, Qiuqiu actually said an answer that was not included in the choice: "I like...that tank of water."
Shi'er didn't mean to laugh at her, but instead asked seriously: "Why?"
"I can't say this for a while. I just think that whether it's flowers or fish, they can only survive by relying on the water. Although the flowers and fish are beautiful, I think the water is even more beautiful. When it's quiet, when the water waves are coming, there are... Although the tank is not big, the water surface reflects such a high and so far sky..."
As Qiuqiu spoke, she was also a little distracted, but she quickly pulled back her dispersed thoughts: "Don't the book also say that everything cannot be separated from water, it is born from water, and comes from water."
Qiuqiu can't remember what the specific sentences in the book said. Anyway, she probably remembers it correctly.
"Yes." Shi'er agreed: "The highest good is like water, and the virtue is carried by virtue."
Qiuqiu felt a little embarrassed.
What he said should mean the same thing as her, but what others said was very literary, and what she said was plain language.
"During the ceremony today, I saw you laughing below and thought of something interesting?"
Qiuqiu opened her eyes wide: "I laughed secretly and you saw it? Your eyesight is so amazing." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support are my greatest motivation.)
ps: The two festivals are integrated, I wish you a happy holiday. Have you eaten Lantern Festival? Are you lit lanterns? Are you going out to enjoy sweetness?
The moon was very good tonight. I stood in front of the window and enjoyed it for a while, but it was said that the moon was rounder.
