Chapter 21
The cool breeze blows the branches, making a clear and gurgling sound
Outside the Arctic Pavilion, the sound of the piano was gurgling. Xiaoyu seemed to hear the sound of the piano while half asleep and half awake. Following the sound, she saw that it was Ye Xiaolou who was playing the piano in the courtyard.

"Does the girl also know music?"

Ye Xiaolou asked slowly, the sound of the piano passed away from his fingertips, and the moonlight became turbid.

Strange, Xiaoyu thought, it was clear that the moonlight was bright and clear just now along the way. Could it be that the moonlight was very bright that night? It's just that I slept too deeply and missed the beautiful moonlight.Now it's fine, it's very cloudy, very cloudy.

"girl?"

"Ah, Master, just sit where you are, no need to be polite."

What nonsense.I'm afraid this young master is not normal. How can anyone play the piano alone in this cold spring without resting in the middle of the night?Could it be that there is some hidden illness that prevents me from sleeping like a normal person?
"Girl, since you're here, how about sitting down for a while and drinking some tea?"

Xiaoyu nodded and sat down on the stone bench.This stone bench is as cold as ice. It's like spring everywhere in the world. It's obviously much colder than underwater.

"Is the girl wearing a little thin clothing, or did Ye Ling not prepare enough clothes?"

Xiaoyu quickly waved her hand, "It's not that Ye Ling didn't prepare enough, it's that I didn't know that it was so cold at night, which made the young master worry."

Unexpectedly, this person was very observant.

"I didn't bother. I was just worried that you would get sick and waste food by staying here for a few more days."

"what"

"I see that the girl doesn't have any silver on her. There have been many natural disasters recently, and the people can't grow much food. It's hard for them to buy more dishes and chopsticks."

"In that case, why should you save me, sir?" How have you ever experienced this kind of injustice when you were so old? There is all kinds of food underwater, so there is no reason why it is difficult for others to get a meal.I'm afraid this man is really sick and moody, and his music is not as elegant and calm at all.

"I saved you because I happened to see you and brought you back."

Xiaoyu drank a cup of tea and found the tea to be very sweet, so she asked, "Sir, what kind of leaves is this tea made from? Why is it so delicious?"

“This tea is”

A cold wind blew through the mountains, and Yu Shenghan shivered all over. He thought to himself, this is terrible. Why did the cold wind blow, and his body seemed to fall apart.The hand holding the cup finally lost control, and he saw that the cup was about to fall.Suddenly, I felt a warmth all over my body. The feeling was exactly the same as in the palace the day before yesterday.

"It's windy in the mountains at night, I'll take you back to your room."

Ye Xiaolou wrapped Xiaoyu in his arms. The weight of this body was really as light as a cicada's wings.I thought to myself that this girl was so weak that she could not be a messenger sent under the water, but even if ordinary underwater creatures could come to land, they could not be ordinary people.

Who is she?
Why does it seem that I have seen it before? If it is not the messenger, why did it come to the land?
When Ye Ling was patrolling the night, he found that the door of Xiaoyu's room was open, but the person was not in the room. He was looking around. On the way, he saw Ye Xiaolou holding a woman in his arms coming out from the direction of Beiji Pavilion. He felt unspeakable in his heart.

He quietly followed the two of them to Xichi.I saw Ye Xiaolou sitting down by the Xichi, which was where he usually meditated and rested, and Xiaoyu was lying in his arms like a leaf.

"Ye Ling, it's late at night, you go back first, I will take her back later."

Not wanting to be discovered by the poster, Ye Ling regretted it. He could already control his voice and appearance so well that even a hummingbird could hardly detect him. Why could he be discovered by the poster so far away?Feeling ashamed and remorseful, she could only mumble, "Yes, host, Ye Ling is resigning."

Xiaoyu is about to wake up, as if she is floating in a bubble. She doesn't want to wake up as soon as her heart relaxes. She just wants to continue to keep warm for a while. It's really cold in the mountains. It's better to stay warm for a while if you can. It's better not to wake up. .

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, Ye Xiaolou took advantage of the moonlight to look at her face. This face still had a childish look, and in a year or two she would definitely be an elegant and refined girl. No matter how many beautiful women there were in the world, such an appearance would still be there. It will also be admired by many people.

I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse, but fortunately, her low voice is somewhat of a drawback, and she can be less entangled by boring people.

As for women, Ye Xiaolou always gets a headache when he thinks about it. Having a woman in the world that he cares about has exhausted his energy and trapped him in a prison, like a bird that can't fly out of the forest.As time went by, he didn't want to go out of the mountains and forests, and the high mountains and rivers no longer had anything to do with him.If one day I could save her and set her free, I would be willing to be shattered to pieces, so how could I talk about freedom?Freedom is just a dream, a dream that wakes you up as soon as you enter it.

In the evening pool, people forget their worries, and the foggy moon and floating light contrast with the cold shadows.
He hummed, his voice was so sad that Xiaoyu shed tears and soaked his clothes.

How could this song be so sad?It really shouldn’t be the case. Master Ye taught me carefully when I was underwater, and Master Yuan Chan gave me all kinds of guidance. I still don’t understand why this person’s singing is so attractive. It’s obviously sad, but I still want to listen to it.

"Sorry, I just heard someone chanting."

"Excuse me, girl, it seems she is fine."

Ye Xiaolou still didn't put Xiaoyu down, one of them was still sitting and the other was lying down.

"It's not that I don't want to get up, it's just that I really can't get up. I don't know what happened just now."

"It's cold in the mountains, and the girl's body still needs to be nursed back to health. She can't withstand the cold wind at night."

"That's really troublesome, sir."

"No trouble, just remember to pay me back when you have some silver."

Why is it another silver tael? This guy is short of silver taels.Are all people on land so fussy?
"I don't have any silver, so why don't I promise you to do something as a way of repaying you for helping me many times."

"What?" Ye Xiaolou really thought that he had heard wrong just now. He was really surprised that this girl actually proposed such a way of repaying her.

"Do you know that whenever you encounter something that can be spent with money, use it? Money is the most worthless thing in the world."

"What do you mean by this, Master? I really don't understand what kind of money is the most worthless thing. I guess your money is very useful. You can buy food, buy clothes, and repay others' kindness."

"makes sense."

"Yes, but I guess I won't have any money for a while, but I don't want to be cared for by the young master in vain. Well, I will have an extra pair of dishes, chopsticks, and these clothes."

Hey, he actually wears the same apricot color as me. This color looks elegant during the day, but warm as light at night.

"Maybe it's because the young master's family doesn't have much money, so he's so worried about me defaulting on my debt."

Ye Xiaolou helped Xiaoyu up. Seeing that her figure was unstable, he still didn't dare to be careless and gently caressed her and leaned against him.

"Why do I feel that I am like the water with no direction, and I have no appearance at all."

"Girl, are you not a local?"

"Local? What is local?"

"I see that you often use words that are not commonly used by people here. For example, this is the directionless water."

Damn it, if everyone understands it underwater, people on land may not understand it. There are two different things between water and land, and there are two different things between water and land.He quickly interrupted, "Well, the young lady is not well-educated, so don't be offended by the young master."

Ye Xiaolou smiled and forgot about his usual worries, feeling relaxed and peaceful.
