Chapter 81 Section 2 3

In autumn, the streets of Chang'an City are full of fallen leaves. The fallen leaves pile up on both sides of the street and extend to the middle of the street.In the middle of the street, sparse paving stones are exposed.People walking on the street trampled on fallen leaves and made the sound of metal cracking, which was very unpleasant.But there are not many people in Chang'an City in late autumn.In the early morning, there were only three people walking on the street.When the wind blows, these fallen leaves make a sound of ding ding dong dong, which is very nice.In autumn, the wind in Chang'an City is scattered, always wandering around the street corners.In autumn, there is fog in Chang'an City, and it always rises before the sun, like a city wall; so the morning sun is always gray.We walked through the deserted streets among the tumbling leaves, climbed the stairs, walked across the narrow overpass, walked through the door with our heads down, and entered a shady house.It was gray here, and the light was not good. Fortunately, there was a skylight on the roof. The house was narrow and high, just to get a skylight beyond the ridge in front—just like a dwarf standing on tiptoe when watching a theater.The front floor was covered with dark straw mats, and a few soft cushions were placed against the wall. The white feathers leaking from the cushions rolled in the wind we brought in. Xue Song said: The house is relatively poor.His voice is like gold, although it is high-pitched, it is graceful and luxurious.This is not surprising, he was a Jiedushi after all.The girl said: It's okay, I like it.Her voice is pure and crisp.Xue Song looked up at the skylight—the skylight was not bright enough, so he said, I should clean the window for you.The girl said: wait for me to wipe it, this is my home.Every time she said "I", she emphasized her tone.But her face was slightly swollen, and she couldn't help yawning.According to academic rules, you should cover your mouth with your hands when you yawn, but her hands are not convenient under the cloak.So she lowered her eyelashes, turned her face sideways, and yawned cutely, looking very cute—but at last she realized that this kind of affectation was unnecessary, and she was free, so she stretched her waist so that the whole cloak became Putting on a bat shirt, and shouting happily: Now, it's time for me to sleep!

Since people are going to sleep, we should go too.Xue Song lowered his voice and said: Do you want me to buy you clothes?The girl froze for a moment, it seemed that she wanted to buy it by herself, but then she thought that she had no money, so she said: Do you know what kind of one to buy?Of course Xue Song knew.So, the girl said: Well, you go and buy it.I owe you.From these conversations, I understood that the girl was free from then on, neither dependent on the academy nor Xue Song—even though he rescued her from the academy.I really like this. Later, the girl sent us to the street like a master.At this time, there is still no one on the street, only the wind swirls here.Here, she stretched out her hand from under the cloak, put her arms around Xue Song's neck, kissed him indulgently, and the two black cloaks merged into one.Xue Song generally remained calm, but the girl was trembling impatiently—it could be seen that she loved him very much.Besides, she had just escaped death threats.This kind of threat is only part of the plan from our point of view, but it's different to her, she doesn't know about the plan...

Later, the girl let go of Xue Song.They turned to me with awkward expressions.I was wearing white underwear, shivering in the cold wind, with a runny nose, pretending to be relaxed and saying: It’s okay, it’s okay, I can pretend I didn’t see it.As you know, I was the cousin who came to help. I shouted for half the night under the tower until my voice became hoarse.Worst of all, the equipment on display outside the tower—ladders, curtains, lanterns, torches—are all mine and worth a lot of money.At this time, if you go back to get it, you will be caught, so you have to sacrifice it.I decided to never bring up this matter. It is too vulgar to ask her to pay for the life-saving after saving a person.It is inconvenient for her to repay me this money, and it is too vulgar to repay other people's life-saving money.Of course, it would be even more vulgar to ignore death.I don't know why, I'm so unlucky...

Then the girl came up to me, took my hand, and said, "Thank you, cousin, for sending me off with a kiss on the cheek."I walk away alone.The phoenix in Chang'an City is getting stronger and stronger, and all the fallen leaves are rolling violently like on a sieve.The girl's body odor is like unscented flowers, lingering on my cheeks—this is a fresh air, a latent fragrance, and because it is not strong, it is more long-lasting.I alone made up my mind that I would never be a cousin again in any story.
