At this time, the woman was reading the poem to the end. She was a little happy, but also a little sad. She stopped, as if she had just noticed someone standing behind her. She turned around slowly and smiled when she saw the man in front of her. He bowed politely and said: "Young Master Xiao's literary talent is something that Li'er admired a lot, but she felt sad at the same time. Now that I see him, he is indeed so beautiful, as if he is a man who stepped out of a painting."
"Is she pretending? She still doesn't recognize me." Xiaochen thought to himself.
"Li'er?" Xiaochen muttered this sentence silently, looking at her tender eyes and saying nothing more.
Li'er sat down, and the red ribbon on her body slowly hung down. She brushed the guzheng in front of her and said, "Master Xiao, please sit down and listen to Li'er play a piece of colorful clothes."
Xiaochen just stared blankly at the woman in front of him who had exactly the same face as Lan Xin. He saw tears in her eyes, saw her delicate hands brushing the guzheng, and saw her adjusting the scales. Xiaochen sat down on the ground next to him. There were a few cushions on the seats, but he didn't care.
Lan Xin has never played this kind of instrument...
The melodious and deep piano sound slowly sounded, which was pleasant at first, and then quickly climbed to the climax like a faint glaze. Under the continuous sound waves, Xiaochen seemed to see a group of exotic women dancing in front of him. At this time, he was swaying and dancing to the sound of the piano.
Her body is floating in the wind like a willow, and every move she makes is as light as feathers. As she spins and turns, her dance clothes made of feathers rise into the sky, just like a fairy from the sky, floating down to earth.
Li'er then opened her mouth and sang: "What is love for when everyone talks about it?"
"Everyone says I have no trust..."
"I said that the person in my heart will overcome all difficulties..."
"Others laugh at me because I'm too crazy! Others laugh at me because I'm too crazy..."
Xiaochen closed his eyes, and the sound of the piano in his ears suddenly changed with the singing, like the rain in June, becoming more radical, like an endless battlefield like gold and iron, like a fierce fight between two parties, At the end, the piano wailed, and everything returned to loneliness.
After a few turns, everything seemed to become soft and calm again. After the last sound wave passing by the piano, the sound of the piano stopped.
Looking at Xiao Chen who was still immersed in the sound of the piano in front of him, Li'er looked at it for a long time before breaking the silence and asked: "Does Young Master Xiao like Li'er's piano skills?"
The sound was like raindrops suddenly falling into the calm water. Xiaochen opened his eyes in an instant. He looked at the woman and said, "The sound of the piano is still there, but the soul of the old friend is gone."
The Li'er in front of him confused him, and he couldn't feel the familiar aura of Lan Xin.
After hearing this, Li'er was stunned for a long time, her face trembling. After a while, she could hold back the tears that were about to fall. She blushed lightly and said with a smile, "Master, don't you have anything to ask?"
Xiaochen stood up and walked next to her. Looking at the familiar face in front of him, his heart inevitably hurt. Facing her sad eyes, Xiaochen sat down and said softly: "I have already wanted to ask Asked..."
"Why do you keep running away?" Xiaochen sighed. He didn't know what the woman in front of him had gone through to become like this, but he knew that from the first glance on the flower boat, the woman in front of him was the one he knew well. Lan Xin.
Now she appeared in front of Xiao Chen as if she had a different soul.
Hearing this, Li'er weakly supported the guzheng with both hands, avoiding the scorching gaze, and responded: "Li'er is Li'er, and her real name is Ruoli. Could it be that the young master admitted his mistake?"
"Ruoli? What a good name. Do you still remember who I am?" Xiaochen murmured unconsciously, savoring the word "Ruoli" in her mouth.
When Li'er heard this, her body recovered. She gasped softly and her face returned to normal. She slowly said, "Master Xiao is Master Xiao. Li'er still doesn't know Master Xiao's original name!"
Unexpectedly, Xiaochen suddenly held her hand, and the hot touch made her tremble in just an instant.
Holding the cold catkin in his hand, Xiaochen looked at her panicked eyes and said softly: "My name is Xiaochen, Yunxiao Dixiao, the dust of mortals."
"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen, the young master is like a fairy falling from the sky. What a good name." Ruoli stopped her panicked eyes, smiled and said, and her clenched right hand slowly relaxed.
Seeing the calmness she pretended, Xiaochen gently came to her ear, and the hot breath touched her skin. Ruoli struggled a little at this time, but she did not break away, letting him lean against her.
Lifting his lips, Xiaochen softly said word by word: "Actually, I have another name. Do you want to hear it?"
Ruoli's expression immediately became extremely panicked, her hands tightened and her body trembled more and more violently.
"My name is Jian Shisan, Lan Xin, do you remember it?"
After saying that, Xiaochen looked straight into her eyes, and saw that she had closed her eyes, and the tears in the corners of her eyes seemed to have accumulated to the extreme, and slowly fell down.
Xiaochen gently brushed away the tears, hugged her slightly cold body, and said, "Silly girl, why are you crying? Let's go, I will take you home."
When Ruoli heard this, she opened her eyes, looked at the man in front of her, and her words slowly calmed down: "Master Xiao, you are joking, this is my home."
Xiaochen was stunned after hearing this, and then his eyes quickly turned extremely cold. He found that no matter how long he held that hand, her hand was like a low-temperature ice cube that could not be warmed again.
The reason why Xiao Chen felt cold all over was that the Hong Ran Ling he had always intended to inspire in his arms was gone.
On the table in the main hall outside, Rong Ye was turning a small token in her hand, as if she had found a new toy, with great interest on her face. Inadvertently, her eyes swept across the burning lights, with a look of disgust on her face. Hearing the screams one after another inside, he seemed to have lost interest and clapped his hand into the firelight.
"Pa!" As if still accompanied by the sound of relief, the lights went out.
Rong Ye looked at the token in his hand, and then glanced at the ten taels of silver on the table. The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he thought of something beautiful, and he smiled softly.
"Li'er feels that her body is getting warm, Master." Ruoli leaned in his arms and spoke slowly.
Her body also stabilized, and a series of emotions such as nervousness disappeared. Xiaochen pondered for a while before looking at her again. He didn't know whether he should continue to play out this scene with her.
Xiaochen didn't even know what role she played in this room.
"Is it Lan Xin? She said she wasn't."
"Is it the oiran? Rong Ye outside the door said that the oiran was her."
"Isn't it Lan Xin? Rong Ye allowed himself to see her for the last time."
"She said her name was Ruoli, Ruoli... Ruoli..."
"...This name is so familiar..."
"I must have heard..."
"That's it, I remembered..."
"If you are separated, the three lives will be broken, and the soul will be attached to the three realms, and then there will be a new life."
"Ruoli's name, I should have thought of it long ago..."
"In the Six Divisions of Reincarnation, Ming Ruoli, the Soul Crossing Division, is dressed in red, and three thousand black hairs light up the tail flames. Wherever he passes, there are red peanuts on both sides of the other side. There are no leaves when the flowers bloom, and no flowers when the leaves fall."
"The body is like a delicate and beautiful flower on the other side of the world, and the soul is like a blazing flame Yulingya. I am talking about Na Ruoli."
Xiaochen looked at the woman in front of him. He didn't know Ruoli. He only knew the girl who had been following him since he was a child. The person he knew was named Jian Lanxin.
"Master Xiao, why are you crying?"
Ruoli wanted to gently wipe away the falling tears with her hands, but she never thought that the tears had already dripped and landed on her hand, causing her movements to freeze.
After a long time, Xiaochen finally spoke and said with great sadness: "Can't you go back?"
Ruoli suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. After listening to those few words, her eyes wandered and she didn't know how to answer.
Her name was Ruoli, and she was originally Ruoli. Jian Lanxin was just like a dream for a moment, and now, she wanted to call herself Jian Lanxin again.
But in the end, she didn't speak. She just looked at Xiao Chen's meaningful question and nodded slightly. Then she quickly gathered her emotions and said softly: "Master Xiao, come and dance with Li'er. Take pleasure in the world of mortals and forget the worries of the world."
Seeing her nod, Xiaochen's eyes softened, and he realized that she was still herself.
He can only wield a sword, not dance.
Then Xiaochen followed her movements like a lifeless puppet, and the sky began to rain flower petals again, and faint strings played, hugging the familiar slender body. Xiaochen also moved his body close to her waist, and danced this dance with Guang and Chenzhong.
She took it with her hands and spread them out, like butterflies dancing in the air or fish swimming in the water. Her hands brushed his cheeks, and his hands climbed up her back, the red ribbon fluttering and spinning. , the bandages fell all over the floor at some point.
"I don't care whether your name is Lanxin or Ruoli. I only know that you are the follower I have watched since childhood. This time, I will not lose you again..." Xiaochen spoke softly and hugged her tightly. Tighten the delicate body in front of you.
Ruoli looked confused after hearing this, and then smiled sweetly: "Then I will wait for you, and I will wait for you forever..."
"I won't let you go this time, right?"
Xiaochen looked at the charming face and seductive red lips in front of him, slowly closed his eyes and kissed her.
She was also unable to answer, so she only wanted to agree.
Inside the red gauze tent, phantoms intertwined, and as the plum blossoms bloomed, the night finally revealed its mysterious veil.
The night was lonely, so it was hard to attract a beautiful woman. It took a long time, until the two of them were exhausted, and then they fell silent.
Xiaochen looked at the beauty beside him, and he didn't know what kind of emotions he was feeling. He was happy to be reunited, but also angry. He also knew that he couldn't take her away now. The Rong Ye outside alone would not allow him to do this, otherwise she would I won’t tell you the last time.
"Master Xiao, aren't you still asleep?" Ruoli leaned next to him, her face flushed, and she spoke slowly.
"I want to take a look at you. Just wait for me. I will definitely take you away." Xiaochen looked straight at her. When she said this, she covered his mouth with her hands in panic.
Seeing this, Xiaochen's eyes became even more lonely.
As if aware of his emotions, Ruoli spoke softly: "Li'er wants to know what Mr. Xiao has been through during this time. Can Mr. Xiao tell you?"
He looked at Ruoli and felt guilty for no reason, but he still said word by word: "I went to Yuncheng after leaving Wuwu Cliff..."
"Yuncheng is very beautiful. I met several people there... and finally took their boat to Huize City..."
When he said this, Ruoli suddenly smiled and said: "Tell me carefully about the people on this boat, namely Qing Yao and the maid named Xia Shang."
Xiaochen's expression froze after hearing this, he sighed, looked at her soft eyes, and spoke bravely.
After explaining everything, it became more and more confusing. In the end, he had to tell her everything. He didn't want to be that poetry ghost and deceive her.
But who knows, Ruoli just thought for a while after hearing this, as if she wanted to understand something, and then looked at him seriously and said: "Do you... really think she was forced to come here that night?"
In fact, Xiaochen had already had doubts before, but now he had an answer in his mind, but he didn't respond. This matter was really confusing and he couldn't explain or clarify it.
Ruoli just covered her mouth and smiled, moved forward to kiss him, and then Youyou said: "Treat her well, don't let her down, you know?"
Xiaochen looked at her in surprise, then turned his gaze away guiltily and nodded slightly.
"Is there more? I want to hear the story..." Ruoli leaned closer and looked at him softly.
Xiaochen put his arms around her body and held her in his arms. He thought for a while and said, "There is a story that you will definitely like."
"What is it?"
"The story is called A Chinese Ghost Story..." Xiaochen hugged her and slowly told the sad story, talking about the scholar, the female ghost, and the vicious grandma who blocked the two people.
Her emotions fluctuated along with the plot. She looked at Xiaochen who was trying hard to tell the story, and reached out to hug him tightly.
After a long time, the two of them fell asleep.
