At night, the bright moon hangs high in the sky and the stars fill the sky.
When the envoys arrived at Caicheng, the post house was being renovated due to damage caused by the war. The governor of Caicheng Town packed up a house for the envoys and others to stay.
After Qing Mimi had another dinner, Ling Zhouyang sat at the stone table in the courtyard, drinking tea and admiring the moon.
Ling Zhouyang held up her face and sighed softly: "The moon is so round."
Although she has been homeless since she was a child and cannot remember what her family looks like, she still feels it every time the moon is full.
Qian Zhao was on patrol and saw Ling Zhouyang lowering her head, probably looking at the moon in the tea cup. He felt moved and walked up to her.
Qian Zhao asked: "Are you homesick?"
Ling Zhouyang raised his head, "Home? I don't have a home. I lost it a long time ago."
The moonlight shone on Ling Zhouyang's body, making this girl, who usually looked free and easy, look tinged with sadness.
Qian Zhao's eyes were flustered, "I'm sorry."
Suddenly, Qian Zhao remembered that Ling Zhouyang had said before that she was at home all over the world. His heart seemed to be scratched by something, and he felt a little distressed.
Ling Zhouyang found it a bit funny, "What are you sorry for? It's none of your business."
Qian Zhao muffled: "I shouldn't mention your sadness, so I'm sorry."
Ling Zhouyang rolled his eyes and said, "Then, sit down and drink tea with me."
Among the people in the mission, only Qian Zhao, Yuan Lu and Ren Ruyi made her want to get close.
Qian Zhao sat silently next to Ling Zhouyang. Seeing that she didn't seem to be sad at all about his inappropriate remarks just now, Qian Zhao was a little puzzled.
Ling Zhouyang didn't miss the flash of doubt in Qian Zhao's eyes, "Do you want to ask me why I'm not sad?"
Qian Zhao nodded lightly, "Yeah."
Ling Zhouyang said half truthfully: "I was only three years old when they died. At that time, I didn't know what it felt like to be sad. It wasn't until I was six years old that I truly understood that I had no family. ”
"But I can't cry even if I want to, because I can no longer remember what they looked like."
"When I see the full moon, I will inevitably think about it, but every time my mind becomes blurry, I always feel that I have done something superfluous and can't even remember what it looked like. Is there anything to think about and nothing to be sad about? Woolen cloth."
After saying this, Ling Zhouyang smiled mockingly to herself, her eyes full of desolation.
Qian Zhao didn't know how to comfort her. He just reached out and patted Ling Zhouyang on the shoulder and looked at her intently.
Ling Zhouyang smiled again and said, "Okay, are you still worried that I won't be able to think about it?"
Qian Zhao whispered: "I will sit with you for a while."
"Okay, then take a seat." Ling Zhouyang did not refuse.
The two of them looked at each other in silence and sat there for almost half an hour.
Yuan Lu, Yu Shisan and Sun Lang also happened to pass by. The three of them crouched and hid behind the ornamental trees.
The three of them waited and waited. In the end, Ling Zhouyang and Qian Zhao were just drinking tea and looking at the moon without saying a word.
Just as the three of them were about to leave, the door of the mansion opened, and Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou walked in side by side.
The three Yuanlu people all jumped out from behind the bushes like frightened birds.
Lingzhouyang looked at the three people who suddenly appeared, glanced at them lightly, grabbed Yuanlu and asked: "Little Yuanlu, are you still not sleeping at this late hour?"
Yuan Lu gritted his teeth and replied: "Hey, sister Lingzhou, we can't sleep. Come out... come out and look at the moon. The moon is so big and round today."
After saying that, he looked at Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi at the door.
"Oh, Ning Tou'er, Sister Ruyi, you are back."
Yu Shisan and Sun Lang both smiled awkwardly and wished they could leave the yard and go back to their rooms immediately.
Ren Ruyi nodded slightly, then looked at Ling Zhouyang: "You don't look good."
Ling Zhouyang: "I'm just thinking of some past events."
Hearing this, Yuan Lu touched his chin, "Past events? By the way, Sister Lingzhou, you said last time that as long as Sister Ruyi comes back, you can ask Sister Ruyi about your origins, right?"
There were people in this courtyard whom Yuan Lu found trustworthy, so he asked directly.
Ren Ruyi frowned slightly and looked at Ling Zhouyang, wanting to say something.
"Yes, you told me, Yuan Lu and Lao Ning personally last time in the post house." Yu Shisan's heart for gossip ignited and he sat directly to the left of Ling Zhouyang.
Qian Zhao turned his head and looked at Ning Yuanzhou with questioning eyes.
Ning Yuanzhou: "Ahem, yes, she said it herself."
Sun Lang also walked up to Yu Shisan, "What's the origin? I want to know too."
Ren Ruyi raised his eyebrows, probably because he didn't expect Ling Zhouyang to say such things.
Did Ling Zhouyang say that because he thought she would not come back, or did he think she would come back?
Ling Zhouyang drank tea calmly, as if she was not the one being surrounded.
Seeing that Ling Zhouyang was silent for a long time, Yuan Lu felt a little at a loss and said, "Sister Ling Zhou, are you regretting it? Then can we stop asking? I don't want to know anymore."
Yu Shisan lost the excitement just now, "Uh, that... I don't want to know anymore, hehehe."
Sun Lang shifted his gaze and looked into the sky, "Actually, I don't want to know that much anymore."
After all, she was the only three women in the mission who could cure Yuanlu's disease, so they couldn't afford to offend her.
In the end, Ren Ruyi couldn't stand it any longer and spoke to save her, "Don't scare them. If you don't want to say it, no one can force you."
"Why did I scare them? It's not me they want to ask." Ling Zhouyang smiled.
She just didn't say anything. She had already said before that when she asked Ren Ruyi, she didn't ask anyone to ask her.
Yuan Lu immediately ran to Ren Ruyi, "Huh? This means... Sister Ruyi, you can say it."
Yu Shisan also said flatteringly: "Oh, it turns out you can talk about beauty~"
Even Qian Zhao couldn't help but look at Ren Ruyi.
Ning Yuanzhou looked at the curious people and said helplessly: "Okay, it's very late. Let's go back and rest."
"Boss~" Yuanlu said coquettishly, finally seizing such an opportunity, he could not give up easily.
Yu Shisan gave Ning Yuanzhou a wink, "Old Ning, if you don't want to know, don't stop us."
Sun Lang: "That's right, boss, I want to know, I want to know."
Ren Ruyi didn't understand what Lingzhouyang meant.
"You really want me to say it?"
Ling Zhouyang waved her hands carelessly, "You can say it, you can say it."
Seeing Ling Zhouyang's attitude and the five men who were thirsty for knowledge, Ren Ruyi felt a little headache.
Ning Yuanzhou originally thought Ren Ruyi was in trouble, but when he heard her asking Ling Zhouyang, he became curious.
After Qian Zhao heard some of Lingzhouyang's past, he suddenly wanted to know her better.
Ren Ruyi opened her thin lips lightly and said, "She used to be a bad person in Chu country, but she is no longer."
Yuanlu, on the thirteenth day, Sun Lang said in unison: "The bad people of Chu!"
Ning Yuanzhou didn't react much. Qian Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly and he looked at Ling Zhouyang with a complicated expression.
He didn't know how to describe the feeling in his heart. He only felt a little sad in his heart, which he couldn't ignore.
