Under the silver light, the girl's voice sounded timidly in the yard, and rippled like floating dust under the starlight...
Ning Ji watched her footsteps crossing the yard, opened the door and looked outside. When he turned around, she raised her face below.
"...Xiaolong."
The voice changed slightly, no longer soft, as if it suddenly became quiet.
She turned around and closed the courtyard door gently, then returned to the room, took a drink of water, climbed up the ladder, and climbed up to the roof.
He sat down next to Ning Ji.
For a moment, they were silent.
In a quiet night, starlight shines on the rooftops and streets ahead, like a sea, showing silver and black waves. The city has fallen asleep, and there are shadows of trees in the distance, sleeping beside the black courtyard wall.
The small building boat is like a huge but docile animal, sleeping by the waving river. Only occasionally does a watchman walk through the streets in the distance, and the warm light brought by the lanterns moves forward little by little.
Fangzhen is like the light seeping out of the city's sleep.
They seemed to be sleeping in this silence, looking at the night and unwilling to wake up.
However, it was Ning Ji who spoke first.
…
"Maybe...something happened..."
"Um."
"A friend who came over that day, named Zuo Xingzhou, may have been in trouble."
"'Hunyuan Ax' Zhou Xing."
"Well, I...I'm not sure either."
…
Ning Ji struggled for a long time that night as to whether or not to talk about this matter.
But sitting on the roof at the moment, the girl next to him didn't show too many questions. He could feel that she was sitting quietly beside him, her arms were leaning against him softly, and her legs were wearing linen trousers.
Her legs were stretched out, and she wore gray cloth shoes under her feet. Her body did not feel as hot as his, and even gave people a cool feeling.
Ning Ji couldn't help but say it.
…
"...When I was still in the southwest, I had some personal friendships with people from the Zuo family, and even...we were comrades on the battlefield against the Jurchens...This time the situation in Fuzhou was tense, and Zuo Xingzhou wanted to pretend to be a
Bad guy, help the court to find out information. It was Yue Yun who was playing tricks with him a few days ago... Today Yue Yun came over and looked for Zhou Xing and Zhan Yunhai with great fanfare. I think the most likely possibility is that they have disappeared... and the court is here
Bian's judgment is that something has probably happened between the two of them..."
"...Could it be that Mr.-in-law is continuing to build momentum for them?"
"...It may be very small. If they have successfully penetrated into the enemy's interior, and they continue to build momentum here, it is more likely to cause unintended consequences. Moreover, a few days ago, Zuo Wenxuan came to see me, and he said
Some of his words and some of his jokes, I didn’t understand at the time, but now I think about it clearly... He wanted to find out if Zuo Xingzhou had any contact with me, but he didn’t want to alarm me..."
"...Zuo Wenxuan is..."
"...Ah, it's those glasses, he is..."
…
In the second half of the night in Fuzhou, the night wind blew gently, and Ning Ji roughly talked about some of the conditions of the Zuo family. Regarding the trip to Fuzhou, his expectations for the past month were very relaxed, and he did not mention it in his mind.
Too much vigilance, but at this time, I have been alerted, and many things can form a specific context.
Looking back at the behavior of Zuo Wenxuan and Yue Yun, Zuo Xingzhou has probably lost contact for several days, and there is already some evidence that something happened.
But this was not something that made him feel embarrassed.
He felt the girl's soft touch on his right arm.
Since their reunion in Jiangning City, there have been some ambiguous skin-to-skin contact between the two, holding hands during the trip, hugging in the cave, or playing around when they washed feet together after arriving in Fuzhou. But this
For a moment, the contact on the roof seemed to have a completely different feeling.
He felt nostalgic.
If there is any embarrassment, it is not easy to say at this moment. He is a warrior who has come down from the most harsh battlefield. In the past days, no matter what happened, he can face it bravely and bravely.
Something happened - even Zuo Xingzhou died - this was not a difficult situation to face originally. But at this moment, he could not think of a perfect way to arrange her.
"... When I came from the southwest, it was actually a bit like running away from home. It would be difficult to go back unless I made a big name, so when I arrived in Fuzhou, I didn't want to have too much contact with the Zuo family... Of course, that's not the case.
It is said that the Zuo family is really encountering some difficulties right now. This is their territory, and some bad guys will be eliminated anyway..."
After a few words, the logic of the situation was quite clear when he first analyzed it. After arriving, because he hadn’t fully thought about it, he just said a few nonsense words. The quiet night breeze and the girl did not put too much burden on him, but a certain
For a moment, when he paused slightly, the girl's voice rang out.
"...Xiaolong, I just thought...you left me..."
This sentence was no longer about Zuo Xingzhou. Ning Ji turned his head. In the night, he saw Qu Longjun coming up to him and pressing his soft lips on his mouth.
On a summer night, the cold feeling turned into a warm touch in my heart. Ning Ji did not feel any surprise, as if he had already known that these things would happen at a certain place at a certain time.
happened, and the heartbeat felt like it was pounding, pounding, and became louder...
"...I, I...I won't..."
"……Um."
Their shadows touched each other gently on the roof...
…
The night wind comes from the sea and quietly blows through the ancient city under the stars. The watchman's lantern soaks through this long street and ripples on that street and alley.
They sat on the roof for a long time. When the night was at its darkest, Ning Ji picked up the girl who was sleeping quietly and walked slowly down the roof. His martial arts skills were high and his mood was calm. He carried the girl and walked away
When you go down the steep wooden ladder, you feel like you are descending slowly and smoothly from high altitude.
He put the girl back on the bed in the room, with the heartfelt words she had just poured out in his mind.
"...Xiaolong. When I was young, I was actually the daughter of the Wu family, and my father was a general. Therefore, although I studied, played the piano, and learned to be a female worker when I was young, at that time, I actually wanted to be a female worker.
She is also a free female general..."
"...After my father passed away, I was bought by Wen Shoubin and learned a lot. I lived a very dark life...Xiaolong, during that time, I didn't dare to think too much. Sometimes, I wanted to die...
…When I arrived in the southwest, I heard Shou Bin’s words and wanted to cause trouble for the Chinese army. Then, on the darkest day, I met you... I thought I would die on that day..."
"...At that time, I seemed to have really died on that day...After I woke up, you and Aunt Gu showed me something new every day...At that time, you kept a straight face all day long, and I was so afraid of you.
, but slowly, I realized that you wanted me to be a complete person..."
"...I don't know what to say. At that time, I just remembered the past. I thought of my childhood, my dead father, and slowly I remembered more things...Xiaolong, before that, I had always been a commodity.
You saved me. Sometimes I wonder if I will become your goods. I will think like this for a long, long time..."
"...After I left Southwest, I often thought of you and Aunt Gu. Xiaolong, I often thought of your stern face, and also of the way you looked when you killed Wen Shoubin and the others that night. You were highly skilled in martial arts, and
Very upright. After leaving Southwest, I have never seen such a person again. Then that day in Jiangning, I suddenly heard your name again. It was like a dream..."
"...Xiaolong, I want to be with you..."
…
"...I want to be with you, but I don't want to be a burden to you...Xiaolong, in the past year or so, I walked from the southwest to Jiangning. My uncles and uncles in the Huaxia Army taught me a lot during the first half of the journey.
Halfway through, I also saw a lot of things. I saw a lot of ordinary people. They also work hard. Maybe some people cheat and cheat, and some are not so decent, but I also learned a lot. You know, I can pretend
Beggars can put on airs and dress themselves up to look ugly..."
"...But I think, what does this have to do with it? Just like what you wrote in the book you gave me in Southwest, ordinary people also have their own ways of survival, and so do women...I may not be able to be you
Such a great hero and chivalrous person, but there are many people in the world who have to find their own way to live..."
"...Xiaolong, I want to be with you... Then we will always encounter things like this when we are outside. I know you will hesitate and be embarrassed, but I don't want you to do it just because you want to protect me.
Become a timid person... I am the daughter of the Wu family, and I am not stupid. I will definitely find a way to survive with you in this world, Xiaolong, I want to ask you to help me..."
…
Except for his slightly choked words when he said "I thought you didn't want me anymore" at the beginning, Qu Longjun was actually calm and determined when he spoke in the night. This always reminded Ning Ji of the time when he spied on him in Chengdu.
At that time, the girl looked weak and gloomy, like a dandelion that would scatter when the wind blew. This weakness aroused his protective desire.
But now I realize that since the reunion, except for the topic of "taking her with me", the girl has always looked a little worried. At other times, she has been like a pliable weed. She always does things in a systematic way.
Organized and independent, especially during the recent period in Fuzhou, he seemed calm and independent.
She changed from a daughter of the Wu family to a skinny horse who was sold. Perhaps the Qu Longjun in front of her was what she originally looked like in her heart.
Even when she said shameful words like "I want to be with you" or even kissed her, her skin became hot, but her face still looked calm and calm.
This relieved Ning Ji from a lot of embarrassment.
He also wanted to be with her.
So this early morning, he also confessed to her like this.
…
The night wind touches the morning grass and dew.
When the sky turned white, the girl was sleeping. Ning Ji walked to the courtyard and performed a set of punches.
The city gradually woke up in silence, lights began to light up in the distance, and roosters were crowing. The fists in his hands were slow and heavy. Although they were empty fists, they seemed to stir up a huge piece of mercury. The blood in his body
Running like a mighty river.
After arriving in the southeast, the young man truly felt the sea for the first time in his life.
At the same time, he also felt the calmness of fighting the sea.
In the early morning of May 30th, the third year of Wu Zhenxing's reign, the southeast was like a blazing summer.
She and him began to accompany each other in the midsummer——
Alas, what a mistake.
I said that there are not a million books that I would not read. Who recommended "Man Tang Huacai" to me...
It's good to read, and his last book "The End of the Song Dynasty" is also good to read. I recommend them all. Let's start the book hunt, let's wait for the update together...
Well, I wrote this chapter slowly simply because the emotions were too difficult to brew, and it had nothing to do with reading the book.
