Snake Tangled Three Dreams

Chapter 151
meet me?
It was only the second time we met, even the last time we had a quick meeting in the Earth Temple, we didn't even say a word, why would he want to see me?

So it's really hard not to misunderstand this kind of wording.

"I... you..." I was inexplicably nervous, and my hands under the table were fiddling with the hem of my skirt, and I didn't know how to answer the question for a while.

Huaci's eyes slowly focused, seeing the uneasiness on my face, and immediately reacted, waving at me again and again: "Miss Bai, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that."

"Ah, it's okay, and I... didn't think too much about it." I scratched my ears in embarrassment, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. I sat up straight, cleared my throat, and looked at him again, "Why is that?" ? Why... want to see me?"

Huaci rested his forehead with one hand, and the big crescent-colored sleeve slipped down to the crook of his arm, revealing a fair and delicate arm. He stared at me quietly for a moment, and then said slowly, "Probably out of curiosity."

"After all, it's been hundreds of years, and there is finally a newcomer beside the snake. I just want to see what kind of girl it is, who can make that dull old snake regain some popularity."

What he said was exactly the same as that of Qingzhuang.It's just that this one "newcomer" makes it hard for me not to speculate on the relationship Liu Wangzhi once had.

Especially wanting to know what kind of woman the other party is, who can make such a cold but powerful monster like Liu Juanzhi move the hearts of all people for her.

But it was a bit deliberate to speak directly, so he had to make a detour, picked up a bowl to fill himself with soup, and pretended to ask casually: "So, what was Liu Wangzhi like before?"

"Before?" Huaci's eyelashes fluttered lightly, and while thinking about it, he tapped the table rhythmically with his fingertips, "He is a person, it was colder before, but my old friend is still cold. When he was alive, at least he was alive. Not only emotional, but also human. When he was angry, ten cows could not pull back, but once he hurts someone, he is also a treasure in the world and a city full of gold. It is hard to change it together good."

"So at the beginning I thought I was not as good as him, I couldn't compete emotionally, and I was willing to lose."

"It was only later... Alas." Hua Ci shook his head, his eyes slowly falling on the jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in front of him, "Since that incident, he has completely changed himself, closing himself up and not opening to anyone I don’t want to trust anyone anymore.”

"He became more indifferent, his eyes always seemed to be frozen, he rarely said a word to people, and his whereabouts became erratic."

The head of the Hua Temple sighed, "I haven't seen him for hundreds of years. In the past, when the Mid-Autumn Festival came, it was Qingzhuang who came to fetch this sweet-scented osmanthus wine for him. If he didn't come to see me, I'm afraid he didn't want to bring up those old things. , with that old man."

"As for why he suddenly agreed to come again this year... Maybe he wanted me to know that now he has you by his side."

After he finished speaking, he sighed again, as if all the melancholy past and thoughtful emotions were compressed in this sigh.

I lowered my head, stirred the warm soup with a spoon in my hand, digested it in my heart for a while, and finally understood that the person the snake loved, the person he was willing to treat with his heart, was the one who endowed him with a demon. The person who made the seal was also the old man in Huaci's mouth.

No wonder.

No wonder he didn't want to mention the old things in Liangcheng, no wonder he was absent-minded when he came here, it turned out that everything was traceable, it was me who was careless and didn't think through them seriously.

"So those golden-scaled carps... belong to that old man, right?" I whispered, feeling a little tight in my chest, as if I suddenly lost all strength, "What kind of person is she, why did she separate from Liu Wangzhi? What you just said 'That thing', what is it?"

"You have a lot of questions, where should I start?"

Huaci moved over the wine jar, propped his chin on it, and looked at the waves in the pond, "Those fish that are only found in the East China Sea are indeed hers. She was the one who caught the old snake in the night market during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Liangcheng. He exchanged his precious fan with someone else."

I was taken aback with the hand holding the spoon, and he said: "The two of them used to be very close. After they separated, the old snake refused to take the fish, so I brought it back. As for why they separated, it can be said that it was all because of 'that matter', but what is that matter, I'm sorry I can't tell you behind the old snake's back."

"However, you asked what kind of person that old man was..."

The fundus of Huaci's eyes gradually became soft, the corners of his lips were raised, and there was a bright smile, "Ice muscles, jade bones and hibiscus appearance, with a sword dance, you can move everywhere." He looked back suddenly, with that distant and sudden look again Looking at me, "It's like the bright moon in the sky, just like you, girl."

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether he was praising me or Liu Wangzhi's old lover, but no matter how I said it, I couldn't hide the increasingly obvious sourness in my heart.

I picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus wine he poured for me earlier, and took a few sips, suppressing the burning sensation in my throat as if a knife had been scraped, and asked, "What about her, where is she now? You specially prepared it today." The bowls and chopsticks are also waiting for her, right?"

The smile on Huaci's mouth visibly froze for a moment, and he picked up the wine jar and took a sip of the wine, sighing in a low voice: "Moonlight has no intention of the old look, but the world is far apart. Waiting is for nothing, she, ah, no more It won't come either."

It's like he didn't say what he said.

I sniffed the mellow aroma of the wine, but was dissuaded by the bitterness of the strong wine, so I simply put down the wine cup and said to him, "So tonight you purposely revived the old story to get rid of that snake, and you talked to me for so long about his Ex, what exactly are you trying to say, don't you want to persuade me to quit?"

I just wanted to tell him that there is no need, after all, Liu Wangzhi and I are not in that kind of relationship.Unexpectedly, before he opened his lips, he denied my words: "No, I didn't mean that."

Seeing my doubts, he said again: "Before, I didn't understand why he would forget his old friend. Now that I see you, I understand everything."

I really don't like charades, so I turned to the beginning and heard him sigh again.

"Ah... with his temperament, it must be very hard to be by his side." Hua Ci looked at me with a hint of drunkenness in his eyes, "Please believe me, he has not suffered much. Less. If you're worried about him, maybe it's time for you to go see him now."

By the way, Liu Wangzhi turned into a prototype and rushed down this mountain just now, and he hasn't seen him back for a long time, so nothing will happen, right?

I suddenly remembered something, stared at Huaci and frowned: "You just said that he has this kind of Mid-Autumn Festival every year, what does that mean, what's wrong with him?"

Huaci placed the wine jar, stood up slowly while supporting the table, brushed the long hair that had slipped from his front to his back, and said to me: "Want to know?"

Seeing me nodding, he decided to summon a cloud, "Then I'll take you to have a look, and you'll know at a glance."

Floating clouds pass by the sparkling water surface, arousing the fragrance of flowers in the pool, and following the line of water and sky, you can see the endless sea of ​​sweet-scented osmanthus trees, surrounded by a sparkling lake full of lotus flowers.

The smell of sweet-scented osmanthus and the fragrance of lotus are swaying, the bright moon is in the sky, and the moonlight is flying for thousands of miles, framing the scene in front of you into a clear and tender ink painting.

Huaci and I chose the top of an osmanthus tree to land, and looked forward through the gaps in the whirling branches.

There are many lotus shadows, and the moonlight illuminates a protruding reef in the center of the lake brightly and brightly. A black snake is lying on the top of the stone. Enduring the severe pain with analgesic methods, the scarlet snake letter stretched out from the open snake mouth, but did not make a sound, suffering and struggling silently under the moon.

"willow……!"

My eyes were rounded in shock, and my heart was suddenly picked up. Before I could finish speaking, Huaci raised his hand to cover my mouth, and made a "shh" gesture to me: "Hush, don't disturb him." .”

I opened my eyes and nodded vigorously, and looked at the rock again with worry.

The silver-plate-like full moon hangs in the sky, the black snake twists its body in pain, its thick tail stirs up waves a few feet high in the water, it suddenly leans back, the chest that was rubbing against the reef before suddenly stretches, There is clearly a blood-stained wound on the top, which is the size of a palm, reflecting the dripping blood under the moonlight, which looks shocking.

he got hurt?When did it happen?

Is it the scales I picked off earlier?Or was he injured in a fight with an albino woman?
My mind was in chaos, and my pupils constricted in shock.

Huaci saw the anxiety in my eyes, sighed softly, and said to me in a low voice: "That is an old injury of his, and it is also a painful memory. He will suffer this kind of torture every Mid-Autumn Festival, when the moon is full, Sunrise is over."

"So as you can see, he also has his sufferings. From now on, when you are by his side, please be more tolerant."

I covered my mouth and covered my trembling lips, my throat was bitter and tight, and I couldn't say a word for a long time.

Huaci said: "Now he is very difficult. Now that he is here, do you want to accompany him?"

I quietly watched the black snake on the reef, and slowly shook my head: "No."

That snake has always been strong and arrogant, since he didn't tell me about it, he doesn't want me to see his vulnerable side.

I closed my eyes, took a long breath, and let it out slowly from my lungs, then turned my head and turned away from looking at the snake.

"Come on, let's go back."
