Chapter 24 2. Nightmare

Not long after Xiao Zuo and Gong Feicui left, a man came at the door of the inn, walked crookedly to the counter, fell down, lay on the ground and shouted loudly: "Hua Ye... Hua Ye..." The innkeeper stomped his feet and said, "Little bastard, you're drunk again, hurry up and take the young master back to the room!" Several waiters hurried forward to help him, half dragging and half lifting him away, only to hear him shouting loudly all the way : "Miss Huaye, I'm coming to see you, I'm going to see you..." Seeing this, Baili Chenfeng suddenly beckoned the innkeeper over and said, "Who is he talking about?"

The innkeeper laughed and said, "I'm sorry for disturbing the peace of the guest officer because I'm drunk..." Baili Chenfeng interrupted him: "He said Huaye? Did I hear you right?" I glanced at him, why, is he also interested in this beauty who is the head of the world's three famous concubines? The innkeeper winked and smiled and said: "Which flowery night can it be? She arrived in Crane City this morning, but it shocked all the big shots here. She is now in the Zuiyan Tower. If you are interested, the guest officer can go Take a look, but the entrance fee is not cheap, it costs twenty taels of silver..."

Baili Chenfeng frowned lightly, said nothing, and waved the boss away. "Miss Huaye is stunning in the world. Since there is such a chance, how about going to see the elegant demeanor of a famous lady?" I kindly suggested, but he gave him a cold look. He answered "No" in a blunt tone, and got up and went upstairs. Went to the guest room. It was Xiao Zuo who offended him, but turned his anger on me, so boring.I pursed my lips and looked out the window. When the lights came up, the goods on both sides of the street had already been collected and returned home, and it suddenly seemed much cooler.A person came slowly from the other side of the long street. His plain white gown was fluttering in the wind, but he was holding a red lantern in his hand, which reflected the light pink color of his robe, making him even more beautiful like jade.

As soon as this person appeared, he attracted everyone's attention, but he didn't care, just walked like a leisurely stroll in the garden, suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky, and the others followed him and looked up at the sky, no one See what's in the sky.After a long while, he finally lowered his head and sighed: "Love has been hurting parting since ancient times, and it's even more desolate for the Qingqiu Festival. Think about where you wake up tonight, the willow bank, the dawn wind and the moon..." As he spoke, he continued He walked away with a lantern.

There are indeed many boring people in the world. But what he said aroused my interest in visiting Crane City at night, so I got up and walked out through the back door. With a bright moon and few stars, this spring night couldn't be more pleasant. A small river is gurgling, and the willows are green by the river.The farther you go, the fewer pedestrians there are, and there is a low and soft flute sound in the empty place, lingering in your ears as if there is nothing. Well blown!I followed the sound of the flute, and after passing a stone bridge, a lantern was inserted on the willow tree by the river, reflecting the water below, full of red.

This lantern looks familiar.I took a few more steps towards that side, and then I saw a child sitting cross-legged on the rock on the other side, with a silver flute in his hand shining brightly in the moonlight.And behind him, a man in white clothes and long hair stood with his hands behind his back, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the flute, his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his clean face, it turned out that a man can also be born so natural and peerless. It's him!The man who walked by with a lantern outside the inn. I looked at the child again, he put down his flute, stared at the river, his face was slightly tilted, his facial features were exquisite, it turned out to be - Ziyu!

I was overjoyed, and it really was goodbye—see you again!Just when he was thinking about whether he should smile at him, he suddenly spoke and said in a very strange tone, "You are here." "Huh?" What did he mean?Also, why is his expression so weird? After I was stunned for a while, I realized that what Ziyu was looking at was not me at all, but behind me. behind me? behind me! My gaze moved down from the boy's face to the ground—the moonlight came behind me, but I didn't see my own shadow—because it was already covered by another figure. I was dazzled for a while, turned around slowly, and finally saw the face of the person behind me—a bolt from the blue!

Indistinct floating dust, vast mundane world, bright and clear, boundless life, suddenly, the flying smoke is extinguished. I felt like I borrowed a body to experience some things, and when I regained consciousness, I saw a silence between the world and only me and the person in front of me. He suddenly moved forward, as if he was about to leave, I was anxious, and I didn't know where the courage came from, I went forward and grabbed his sleeve. He looked back at me, his eyes were deep and deep, and he couldn't see to the bottom. No, don't... don't look at me like that...

My heart shuddered, and I subconsciously let go, his sleeves fell to the ground, longer than my skirt.How can it be so long?How can it be so long?I knelt down and tried to pick up his sleeves from the ground, but the result was that they became longer and longer, and became heavier and heavier in my hands, making it almost impossible to hold them. A sigh passed over the top of my head lightly, I raised my head, and there was a look of compassion on his silent face, and he looked at me with pity and tenderness. I was touched in an instant. It turned out that I could be moved so easily, I bit my lip, and my vision began to blur.

"Ms. Wind..." he said, every word bloomed in the wind, very clear, "Are you happy?" "I..." My lips moved a few times, and I lowered my eyes and said, "Why not?" Yeah, why not be happy?Those reasons to be happy are laid out in my mind one by one, high-sounding and as it should be. "Miss Feng..." He said again, just like the first time I heard his voice, low and a little hoarse, with a heart-pounding rhythm, like a temptation from hell, "I like you." I know. Tears came out of my eyes suddenly, I looked at his face against the black clothes, and thought over and over again: Yes, I know, I know, I know you like me, I know you like me... …

However, do you know that I like you too? But—so what?So what...? I let go of my hand, and this time his sleeve fell to the ground completely, the blackness was boundless, almost swallowing him as a whole, leaving only a pale face, with thousands of subtle expressions, but the wrinkles and scars Hidden very deep, leaving only a touch of tiredness, the clouds are light and the wind is light. "I'm sorry." I answered him, betting on my twenty-one years of life, suppressing the thousand-year love and eternal debt, suppressing the turmoil and thunder in my heart. My father said--to be unmoved is like the earth, and to think deeply is like a secret treasure. Wind cellulose, have you ever done it? I can!I can do it! I stared at him and repeated the sentence again: "I'm sorry." I know you like me, but, that doesn't change anything, nothing. His eyes finally dimmed, and he smiled and said, "Okay, I'm leaving." Walk?where to?As soon as I was puzzled, I saw his whole body changed, like a paint melted by water, from thick to light. "Baili Chenfeng!" I screamed, "What are you doing? Where are you going? What's wrong with you?" I desperately stepped forward to grab his clothes, but the result was that my hand passed through his body. How could this be?I looked at this scene in disbelief, and was terrified! "Chenfeng! Chenfeng!" I called his name, the first intimacy came out so naturally, I suddenly cried, "Don't, don't...don't! Don't go!" His figure became fainter and farther away, and I chased after him, like chasing a kite that flew away without a thread. The long thread passed my hand, and blood was dripping in an instant. Can't catch up!I can't catch up!Why can't you catch up?why! "No, please, don't go, don't—" After a long cry, someone was shaking my arm vaguely, and there was a voice echoing in my ears. After a while, I realized that it was Yucui calling me: "The Chief! The Chief!" I opened my eyes, and saw the first ray of sunlight in the morning softly shining on the edge of the bed, Yucui stood at the head of the bed with a frightened expression on his face: "Boss, are you having a nightmare?" nightmare? I looked at her a little stagnantly, feeling as if I was still immersed in the dream just now.Yu Cui handed over a wet towel and said, "Boss, your face is covered with sweat." I took it in a daze, and as soon as the cold wet wipe touched my skin, I shivered and woke up instantly.Reaching out to wipe his forehead, it was indeed full of sweat. Nightmares, horrific, I had such a nightmare! And it was Baili Chenfeng who was dreaming...Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his heart. I took a deep breath, barely suppressed it, and said, "What time is it?" "When I first arrived at Mao." "Yeah." I nodded casually, got up from the bed, and when I finished washing and went downstairs, Gong Feicui was the only one sitting there eating breakfast.Strange, haven't Xiao Zuo and Baili Chenfeng risen yet? "Miss." I sat down in front of Gong Feicui, only to see that she looked bored and a little annoyed.When did she come back yesterday?Got into a fight with Xiao Zuo again? I turned my head and ordered: "Come here, go upstairs and ask the two young masters to get up." Gong Feicui murmured in a low voice: "Please, God knows if he is in the room." I was stunned, Miss, what does this mean? At this moment, a waiter from a shop ran in panting while wearing a hat. The innkeeper was standing behind the counter to settle accounts. Seeing him, he put his abacus aside and cursed: "Slacker, come now? I'll deduct your wages!" " "No, no, boss, I didn't come late on purpose, it's really something big happened to my family..." "You always say that every time you arrive late!" "This time it's true. Something really happened. The Zuiyan building next door to my house exploded in the middle of the night last night!" "what!" "what?" Not only the innkeeper, but even Gong Feicui was taken aback, and immediately turned to look at him. The waiter in the shop said: "It's true! Several families in the neighborhood have suffered disasters, and they have been fighting the fire all night. I still don't know who to turn to for an explanation. And the most incredible thing is that we even went to the river behind the Zuiyan Building. Here, someone was picked up, who do you think the boss is?" "Who?" "Brother Niu from the neighbor's house jumped into the river to catch the man. The man was only wearing obscene clothes, which seemed to be transparent when he got wet by the water. The men standing on the river bank were stunned. The figure is so good that I can’t say anything! Brother Xiao Niu was startled, but he didn’t expect it to be a woman. When he lifted her head up and took a picture with a lantern, hey, boss, boss, you must not have guessed who she is!” The innkeeper really looked curious, forgot to pursue the matter of the clerk being late, and kept urging him for an answer. "Tell you, that man just arrived in our city yesterday—" Before the waiter could finish speaking, Gong Feicui blurted out: "Miss Huaye, the first of the three famous concubines in the world?" "Ah, how do you know this girl? You were there yesterday?" Gong Feicui's expression was first surprised, then relieved, and finally burst into giggles. Seeing her reaction like this, the waiter in the shop was stunned, touched the back of his head and said: "It's quite funny, hey, look at her arrogant appearance when she first arrived in Crane City, she even paid twenty taels of silver for a meeting, spit , what's so great... I don't know which big shot she offended, and she was thrown into the river!" I frowned and said, "Can't she swim?" "Swimming? Don't talk about it, she doesn't even have the strength to walk. It's a miracle that she didn't drown!" The little girls all laughed slyly, winked and pushed me and pushed you, falling on the ground. In my eyes, I couldn't help but feel displeased—you guys alone dare to laugh at Hua Ye? I caressed the edge of the table, and just as I put down my chopsticks, a voice came loudly: "Good morning, everyone." Looking up, Xiao Zuo stretched his waist and yawned and walked down the stairs slowly.
