It turned out that because Sima Ao couldn't sleep, he simply climbed to the roof to watch the stars...
Dongfang Yu'er also climbed to the top of the upper floor lightly. Although she did so lightly, she still caught Sima Ao's attention.
Sima Ao turned around and felt secretly happy when he saw Dongfang Yu'er climbing up.
Asked: "Why did you come up too?" Sima Ao asked, reaching out to give Dongfang Yu'er a hand.
Dongfang Yu'er came up, fluttered the thatch on her clothes, and sat next to Sima Ao.
"I found you were not in the house and I looked for you everywhere. It turns out you came here." Dongfang Yu'er replied.
"I found that the wild stars are very beautiful, so I went to the rooftop to enjoy them since I couldn't sleep!" Sima Ao explained.
"Yeah?"
Dongfang Yu'er looked up in confusion. The sky was covered with clouds and mist. There were no stars, only a hazy lone moon.
The cold wind blew Dongfang Yu'er's long hair, and a strand of hair floated to her lips. Sima Ao saw it and gently lifted it up with his hand, looking at Dongfang Yu'er with warm eyes.
Sima Ao's subtle move immediately captured Dongfang Yu'er's heart, and a slight throbbing flashed across Dongfang Yu'er's face.
Sima Ao took the opportunity to get close to Dongfang Yu'er, and his lips were close to Dongfang Yu'er's ear. He whispered tenderly: "Yu'er, I..."
Dongfang Yu'er blocked Sima Ao's mouth with her hands: "I know, in fact, you came to the wilderness this time not to work for Emperor Wenchang, but to escort me back to the wilderness on the order of Emperor Donghua. Is that right?"
Sima Ao's heart skipped a beat. He originally wanted to take advantage of this silent night to express his love to Dongfang Yu'er, but he didn't expect that Dongfang Yu'er would block his mouth. Sima Ao's boiling passion suddenly disappeared, just like a burning torch that was suddenly doused by a bucket of ice water.
Sima Ao replied calmly: "Yes, I am escorting you back to the wilderness on the order of Emperor Donghua."
Dongfang Yu'er responded with "Oh" and turned her head to the other side, looking at the sky on the other side.
In the silent night, both of them were silent. From time to time, they could hear the sound of crickets, the howling of wolves, and the sounds of some strange birds and animals. For Dongfang Yuer, who lives in the wilderness, this is the normal state of the wilderness.
"Yu'er, you grew up in the wilderness. Sometimes you feel lonely and sometimes you feel scared." Sima Ao asked tenderly.
Dongfang Yu'er took a deep breath and replied: "Of course! I have lost my mother since I was a child, and my father has been indifferent to me! But fortunately, I have Grandpa Lei, Grandma Feng, and a bunch of children and ghosts, and gradually I am no longer alone. Not scared anymore.”
When Dongfang Yu'er mentioned that she had lost her mother since childhood, Sima Ao was stunned for a moment, and then took a deep breath when Dongfang Yu'er finished speaking.
"Actually, I have lost my parents since I was a child. No, I don't know whether I was born from the placenta or conceived by the splendor of heaven and earth, so I feel lonely from time to time, and I especially envy those children who have parents."
Dongfang Yu'er only knew Sima Ao's life experience now. She didn't know how to caress Sima Ao for a while, and looked at Sima Ao dumbly.
Sima Ao smiled and said: "Although your mother passed away early, she still knows that she is a child with a mother; although your father is very indifferent to you, your father loves you in his heart; otherwise, how could he cut himself?" Meat, let you drink his blood.”
Sima Ao's words made Dongfang Yu'er burst into tears...
Sima Ao saw this and continued: "When you participated in the 'Si Ming Auditions', I saw resentment in your eyes. Yu'er, open your heart and let go of the resentment in your heart, and don't let yourself live in resentment!"
"You know everything, but why don't you expose it? Why don't you disqualify me from the competition? Is it all because you promised Emperor Donghua to secretly protect me?"
"It was true at first, but then I discovered that your heart is pure, just like a holy lotus, so..."
"I resent the lack of justice in this world, and I resent that my father was exiled here even though he was not guilty. As a result, I became the daughter of the God of Sin, and I can only live in the wilderness forever. I secretly participated in the "Si Ming Auditions" 'Just to vindicate my father." Dongfang Yu'er finally opened her heart to Sima Ao.
"Fairness? Yu'er, now that you are the Lord of Mingxing, you will understand what justice is." Sima Ao said with a sneer.
Dongfang Yu'er was surprised that Sima Ao, who was five thousand years older than herself, could say something similar to Emperor Donghua's age.
…………
While chatting like this, everyone felt sleepy. Dongfang Yu'er still felt a little cold, holding her arms and shaking.
Sima Ao saw it and said first: "I'm sleepy, why don't we go back to sleep each other?"
Dongfang Yu'er nodded and said "Yes", then stood up, fluttered her clothes, and climbed down from the roof softly.
Sima Ao followed closely behind, and kept reminding him: "Be careful..."
After the two of them got down, they went back to their rooms to rest...
…………
The next day, the sun rose, and the wilderness was still lonely and deserted...
Luohuang Village is still very quiet in the early morning, because Luohuang Village is not very popular.
In Luohuang Village, apart from Dongfang Yu'er's family, there are Grandpa Lei, Granny Feng and those gang of children and ghosts.
Generally, the parents of baby ghosts only go home to visit their children once a month. Every time he comes back, he brings back some food. This food is enough for Wagui, Grandpa Lei and Grandma Feng to eat for a month.
Whenever the sun rose as high as a pole, Grandpa Lei would take the children and ghosts to practice some self-defense skills in the yard, or bring a bench to sit outside and bask in the sun. While basking in the sun, Grandpa Lei certainly did not forget to tell the children and ghosts the story of the thunder!
Children and ghosts like to listen to Grandpa Lei telling his story about thunder.
"Whenever spring arrives, I will strike the first thunder to the earth. This thunder is the 'spring thunder'. Since I slept all winter, I was a little dizzy, so the 'spring thunder' is usually not very Noise, like a sneeze, or a fart."
Whenever this is mentioned, the children and ghosts will burst into laughter, and Grandpa Lei will become even more lively and continue to talk: But in the summer, the Xia Lei I played will ring. The thunder was almost deafening to everyone's ears, like a mountain falling apart!
At this time, the baby ghost will cast an admiring look at Grandpa Lei and exclaim: Oh...
At this time, Granny Feng will take over with great interest and tell her story about the windy year:
"Whenever spring comes, I will blow the first 'spring breeze'. The 'spring breeze' is very gentle, blowing gently on people's faces, like a kiss."
At this time, the baby ghosts will also look at Granny Feng with adoration and make adoring sounds: Oh...
Granny Feng continued to say vividly: That's because I am very happy, so it is also called "Spring Breeze Proudly". But when I get angry, the wind blows so hard that the houses will collapse and the trees will be uprooted!
When Grandpa Lei listened, he would hold his stomach and laugh: I said Granny Feng, don't teach the children the wrong way. That's not how the "Chunfeng Deyi" explained it. "
Granny Feng will be very angry and say: Your Grandpa Lei can tell your story about the thunder that year; but my Granny Feng can't tell my story about the wind that year?
"Okay, okay, Granny Feng, let's continue telling the story of how you got windy back then!"
Grandpa Lei said amusedly, deliberately saying "windy" as "windy", which also sounds like "crazy". Feng Po was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and stared, wanting to pluck Grandpa Lei's ears off and fry them for wine.
At this time, Grandpa Lei would pretend to be scared and immediately change his words: Oh! I'm such an old fool, it's 'windy' not 'crazy'. sorry! sorry!
The children and ghosts who were sitting on the bench listening to the story were laughing with joy as they watched Grandpa Lei making Grandma Feng dumbfounded!
