But the bright moon shines on the ditch

Chapter 14

Wang Yunxian learned that Liang Peiqiu actually ran to the death of a horse in order to deliver a letter to Xu Zhiliu. For a while, he didn't know whether he should be sad for the horse or himself.

Regardless of her obstruction, he invited her the best doctor in the city, and personally went to the kitchen to supervise the maid to cook the soup, and then sent it to Liang Peiqiu's Xiaoqingyuan in the southwest corner.

The name "Xiaoqingyuan" was chosen by him, because the place is remote, and he met a little green snake when he first came to play when he was young, and he rarely set foot here since then, but the name of Xiaoqingyuan has been retained.

It doesn't matter whether Liang Peiqiu is left or right, he has been using it like this all the time, and if he wants to give her anything, he will send someone to Xiaoqingyuan.

After a long time, everyone in Anqing Kiln thought that the place where Master Liang lived was rich in "Xiaoqing". Regardless of his identity, this courage alone made people feel awe.

This hurt the chief culprit, Wang Yunxian, who frightened himself, and was too scared to go to Xiaoqingyuan.

Now if he wanted to give someone a soup, he still had to have three or four young men to scout the way ahead, so he stumbled and stumbled into Liang Peiqiu's house, and looked around, feeling stunned.

There is not a single good thing in the room, except for the bottles and jars on the museum shelf, all of which were burnt by her own hands, so they are worth a lot.

In addition, he commented on the rest of the decorations such as the washbasin shelf, the screen used for changing clothes and the large carved bed, especially the Eight Immortals table, which has a limping leg.

Liang Peiqiu saw that he meant to replace it, so he reminded helplessly: "Did you forget the Eight Immortals table? Last time you drank too much, and you bumped into the table as soon as you entered the door..."

"and many more."

Wang Yunxian only remembered after she reminded her, "You mean, I, I came to Xiaoqingyuan alone last time? Then I didn't..."

Liang Peiqiu told him with affirmative eyes: "That's right, you slept outside the door for half the night."

Wang Yunxian suddenly felt his back was slippery, and a sticky coolness rushed to the top of the sky, he hurriedly hopped his feet and flung away the evil spirits around him.

Thinking of the situation that day, looking at the Eight Immortals table with crippled legs and the low stool covered with his snot, I feel chills in my heart for a moment.

He smiled slyly: "Then, let's use these ornaments for a few more years, you have also used your feelings, haven't you?"

Liang Peiqiu disagreed with him and told him to bring the medicine bowl over.

"Let it cool down."

"Okay, wait, I'll feed you."

"It doesn't have to be..."

"No, I have to feed you."

Unable to refuse Liang Peiqiu, Wang Yunxian forcibly moved a low stool to sit in front of the bed, took a spoonful of soup and blew it, and brought it to her lips.

Liang Peiqiu glanced at him, always felt that something was wrong, and wanted to say that he should do it by himself, but he moved the bowl away, as if he would not let it go.

In desperation, she had no choice but to take his soup spoon, and the two of them sent out little by little as if they were at war, and used up the whole bowl of soup.

This soup is much bitterer than ginger soup, but for some reason, when she thinks of the sweet and sour candied fruit, it seems that there is still an aftertaste lingering on her tongue, so even the bitter medicine does not feel bitter.

Wang Yunxian wondered: "When are you not afraid of hardship? Fortunately, I prepared a drawer of candied fruit, that's all, you should keep it for snacks."

After speaking, he took out the candied fruit hidden behind him and placed them on her bedside one by one.

Liang Peiqiu saw that he kept a hand, guessed his intention, and joked: "You want me to beg you, don't you?"

Wang Yunxian rolled his eyes to the sky: "Yes, yes, is it alright?"

In the end, he sent her to lie down, and talked about what happened in the town for the past two days.

Speaking of the two handymen who died unjustly, he was quite emotional: "I didn't expect the talented Xu to do good deeds besides scheming people's hearts every day. It is said that he picked up those handymen from the beggar's nest and raised them in the kiln for many years. Some of them were brought back by him when they were babies."

Liang Peiqiu knew about this.

Although she didn't see him often these years and dared not see him, she knew about most of his affairs, but she didn't know that the ones killed by the eunuch were actually two children in the beggar's den.

Thinking about it this way, when she went to report the letter, through her description, when he learned that the dead were a black and a skinny two-and-a-half boy, he probably guessed their identities, right?

It's not an ordinary handyman, but a child he brought back to the kiln to be raised by his side and gets along with him day and night. He must have deep feelings.

But his performance at that time was very calm.

How can he be calm?
Liang Peiqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't listen to Wang Yunxian's babbling anymore, saying that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, so he drove people out.

Wang Yunxian was looking at her in the middle of his sentence.

Liang Peiqiu was inexplicably looked at with a guilty conscience.

Thinking that he was going to say something, who knows that he was silent for a while, sighed, pulled the quilt on her, covered her chin tightly, and then turned and left.

When the door was about to close, he still did not forget to remind: "Don't think too much, sleep well and get well soon."

Liang Peiqiu nodded.

After he left, the house returned to silence.Liang Peiqiu saw that the candle was burning, and the tongue of flame danced occasionally, just like her heart trembled from time to time.

She knew that he was an extremely restrained person. When he was forced to leave the private school that year because he couldn't hand in the bundle, in the last teacher-student debate, he was still eloquent and behaved calmly.That
His words and deeds are far more profound and open than that of young people of the same age.

His heart seemed to carry something far beyond suffering, so the inevitable suffering in the world seemed unable to break him down, make him bow his head, and tear his heart.

He bears everything calmly.

Under such circumstances, not only did he not reveal any emotions to his mother, he even asked someone to help her bury Little Bell.

Thinking of all the things he had endured alone, her heart suddenly clenched into a ball.

Love him, pity him, desperately want to comfort him.

She lay on the bed, tossing and turning like a pancake, and the quilt told her to kick around, from the head of the bed to the end of the bed.Missing is like a string, tightly wrapped around her.

Suddenly there was the sound of clappers in the distance, she got up suddenly, threw off the quilt and ran outside.

-

On the third watch, Xu Zhiliu went to inspect the kiln factory as usual.

This stretch of hills is full of kiln factories. At night, the sky above Jingdezhen is still full of kiln fires. Occasionally, the red light bursts out, as if a god has descended into the world.

However, the gods are only in the altars, and there are no gods in the world.

At that time, he was also a little beggar who was exiled to Jingdezhen due to natural disasters. He could read a few big characters and was lucky enough to be a book boy with Xu Zhiliu.

They used to fight over a steamed bun, and were beaten all over the place by outsiders to protect their territory, but since Xu Zhiliu brought them back to the kiln, those days have been very long.

Over the years, he has been honored by his master, and he has become a human being, and he has become beautiful from the inside to the outside.

Sometimes when I meet Heizi and the others in the kiln, I always feel that they are still lowly, looking like pariahs rolling in the mud and never being able to get back up. They are no longer the same as him, so they will pretend not to know them.

Heizi laughed that he had changed, he couldn't open his mouth, he didn't know why he thought this way, it wasn't until tonight that he realized that he hadn't changed.

In fact, he wished he had changed.

He is partial to the son, wants him to stay away from dirty people and things, wants him to be better than the present every year, wants him to have both things, but he still cries uncontrollably.

He walked in front of the young master, holding a lantern, and hearing the sound of the clapper beating from near to far, tears welled up in his eyes uncontrollably.

Suddenly the young master said from behind: "The year."

"Eh."

He hastily wiped his eyes with his cuff, turned his head, and saw the young master standing under a wall.

A pear tree protruded from the wall.

The young master paused for a moment, seemed to be smiling, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly: "I think I saw a big cockroach."

"Cockroach? Where did the cockroach come from?"

Liang Peiqiu, who had the cat in the tree branch, covered her mouth fiercely, not daring to vent her breath!

Has she been found?Just because she wanted to take a closer look at his situation, she couldn't help poking her head out?This is what got caught?
In the past, she often came to watch him watch the night, but she was never found!How did you show up tonight?

Thinking this way, she heard a "dong", the treetops moved slightly, and a small stone flew over, hitting her calf.

She couldn't help but let out an "ouch", although the voice was extremely low, it probably spread out.

There was a moment of silence behind the wall.

Xu Zhiliu said again: "At that time, look at the moon tonight."

The times look up.

Where is the moon?
Liang Peiqiu also looked at it, opened his eyes and looked at it again and again. There is indeed no moon, but why did he mention the moon for no reason?

In this way, when she thought of how Si Nian was crying all the way just now, and he called Shi Nian's name twice, she suddenly came to a realization.

He is really an excellent person, so sad in his heart, and he still feels sorry for his book boy.

The sound of the clapper disappeared completely, and the night became darker after midnight.

The lion is cool and quiet, and the cold wind is biting.

Xu Zhiliu then asked: "Is it big and round?"

At this time, a head appeared out of nowhere, and a pair of eyes were astonishingly bright.

"Oh, what a big moon!"

Who is this, talking nonsense with your eyes open, it's shocking!Shi Nian stomped his feet, raised the lantern and looked at him.

Liang Peiqiu blushed and said, "It's really big and round."

Xu Zhiliu pursed her lips and smiled.

The heart of the year was suddenly ironed.

Is the son coaxing him?It's rare for someone to cooperate blindly.

The idiot in front of him, he does know the origin of the other party. It has been said in the teahouse that the opponent of the Hutian kiln and the rising star of the Anqing kiln are still his son's destined nemesis.

Bah, what kind of nemesis?His son is the best, no one can compare.

After contacting him twice, I found that he was not bad.Right now, cooperating with the young master to make him happy, a warm current rose in his heart, he felt both inexplicable and at ease.

He murmured: "This moon is really nice."

It wasn't until many years later, when he re-measured the Lion Lane step by step behind the boy on the wall, that he realized why the moon is so big and round tonight?

It turns out that the world is perfect, and it will always be yesterday.

But at the moment, he reacted quickly, raised his eyebrows, wiped away the tears on his face and asked, "Why are you behind here?"

Liang Peiqiu was a little embarrassed to be caught on the spot, so he raised the corner of his eyes and secretly glanced at Xu Zhiliu. Seeing that he was resting, he seemed to be waiting for an answer.

She hurriedly turned her head and asked back, "Hey, didn't you ask me last time if you met me before?"

Xu Zhiliu nodded seriously.

"I did see it more than once," she said.

In fact, they met many times, and even had a classmate friendship when they were young, but he didn't remember it, but it didn't matter, that was Xiao Liangqiu's secret alone.

It has nothing to do with anyone, as long as she remembers it alone.

As for the current situation, she said sincerely: "The lower alley of Hutian kiln and the upper alley of Anqing kiln are separated by a small hill. Climbing to the tree can just see you and the situation of your kiln."

So that's why he thought she looked familiar?

No wonder I always feel that there are eyes behind me when I visit Shishi Lane every night.It's just that the other party doesn't seem to be hostile. If not, there were too many opportunities to attack him before, and the night was thick, so he didn't take it to heart.

Occasionally, I heard a cry of pain, which seemed to have bumped into a pair of eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, probably because it fell from a tree?

Why is it such a coincidence that she always appears when he is watching the night?

Shi Nian took a quick step, and asked him some doubts: "What's your intention of staying up late at night and hiding in the tree to peek at our kiln?"

"I, I'm just curious."

"Curious?" Shi Nian raised his voice, "Are you coaxing a three-year-old?"

He immediately turned his head and said to Xu Zhiliu: "My lord, this man must have good intentions and arrest him for three kilns and nine meetings, so that everyone can see the true face of the so-called little god."

Liang Peiqiu knew he was wrong, picked up his head and buried it in front of his chest, his back heaved several times, and finally peeked at Xu Zhiliu between his arms.

A pair of deer-like eyes flickered, with a little panic and embarrassment.

In fact, she didn't need to get out, so it's okay to run away, he can't just go to Anqing Kiln to investigate rashly.

It's just that he had guessed it, and she had guessed it, and she wanted to make him happy, so she didn't care about the consequences when her mind became hot.

Right now, she was speechless because of the time, she was in a dilemma, so she could only look at him desperately, with the meaning of asking for help in her eyes.

He clearly guessed it all!
Xu Zhiliu really guessed it was her.This lot connects the upper and lower lanes of Hutian Kiln and Anqing Kiln. He had seen it on the map earlier. Although it has reached the southwesternmost corner of Anqing Kiln, it still belongs to its category.

The person hiding in the tree had no bad intentions, but was also somewhat familiar. He wanted to go all over the Anqing Kiln, but there seemed to be no other choice except her.

It's really her.

The smile on the corner of his lips was faint, as if it would be blown away by the wind.

He said slowly: "Liang Peiqiu, I'll give you another chance, to be honest."

Liang Peiqiu's mouth was flattened, and he completely lost his usual heroic and handsome appearance. He was a limp little cauliflower, exuding a pitiful innocence and grievance.

"I, I..." You can't say that she admires him, can you?
She couldn't speak.

But how else could he explain his absurd behavior?

Just when she was in a dilemma and didn't know what excuse to make up, Xu Zhiliu said again: "I believe you."

"Son!"

When Shi Nian wanted to say more, Xu Zhiliu asked him to go ahead.

After Shi Nian walked a few meters away with the lantern in hand, Xu Zhiliu stepped under the tree and looked up at the people above.

At this time, the light was dim, and there was only the moonlight above their heads.

Xu Zhiliu's voice was clear and clear: "Liang Peiqiu, I hope we can see each other often in the future."

"what do you mean……"

"Walking around like ordinary kiln mouths, or, you can be closer than ordinary kiln mouths."

Liang Peiqiu suppressed her fluctuating chest, her voice was almost trembling: "You mean, you are willing to accept me as your friend?"

Xu Zhiliu nodded: "If you want."

"Of course I would!" she said impatiently.

After finishing speaking, she glanced at him again, and just bumped into his smiling eyes.

This should be his only real smile since he knew that Heizi and Sangou were killed, so real and touching.

In the depths of this alley in the dead of night, in the ending written in the story book, he did not guard against and alienate her because he was in the opposite family, but he moved from his heart and took one step closer to her.

Liang Peiqiu's heart beat faster, and the branches under him trembled.

She shook her hand, and a pear blossom fell to the ground.

She stretched out her hand to grab it with an "oops", and he just raised his hand.

The pear blossom fell into his palm.

Her fingertips brushed the back of his hand, both of them were taken aback.

There seemed to be a faint fragrance floating in the night, thinking of her full red lips and the faint fragrance of bitter orange, Xu Zhiliu was in a trance for a moment, and then said: "In the future, you can come to me for anything, thank you tonight."

What he said was to make the time happy.

He really said too much thank you to her, she didn't want to accept it, and privately regarded these as rewards for every help he gave when he was young, shaking his head like a rattle, and waving his hands continuously.

Seeing that he was sincere, Xu Zhiliu couldn't help laughing, "Has your fever gone? Remember to drink a few more bowls of ginger soup."

"it is good."

"Go back to sleep earlier, I'm leaving."

"it is good."

After he walked away, Liang Peiqiu reluctantly climbed down the tree and returned to the room.

After such a fuss, her illness seemed to have eased, and she was full of energy, and she tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before falling asleep.

But she didn't know that in the bamboo forest not far from the corner, there was a figure watching her all the time.

　Wang Yunxian: I agreed to go to bed when I was sleepy?Let me see who seduced you into talking nonsense!

　　Liu Liu: It's me.

　　Qiuqiu: Don't blame him, it's all my fault.

　　Wang Yunxian: What a big show! (Inner os: woo woo woo Qiuqiu is so biased)
　　Isn't this chapter sweet?A very personal favorite episode!This time it was Liuliu who took a step towards Qiuqiu.I want Liu Liu to know that there are not so many coincidences in this world, they are all planned for a long time!
