fairy wife

Huo'er turned his head in thought.

Qiuqiu smiled.

No matter how human Huo'er is, he can't speak or write, and he can answer a question about how much one plus one equals. Where can he answer such a complicated question?

In the end, Huo'er straightened up, jumped off the table, and jumped out of the window.

Qiuqiu didn't have time to worry about other things, so she jumped out of the window and hurried to catch up.

Huoer, where is this going?

If you lose it, you can't explain to its owner when you turn around.

Such a rare spiritual pet, I'm afraid there is no second one in the whole world, at least Qiuqiu has never heard of anyone raising a few dragons casually for play.

If you lose it, you can't afford to sell yourself.

Huo'er didn't run away without looking back. In fact, it was lying on top of the wall. When Qiuqiu yelled at it, its tail swung and jumped off the wall.

Qiuqiu called out to her ancestors in her heart, desperately jumped up the wall and followed it over.

Huo'er stopped and walked, the speed was not too fast, but it was maintained at a level where Qiuqiu could keep up without effort.If Qiuqiu is slow, it will stop and wait.If Qiuqiu can keep up, it will also run fast for a while.

Qiuqiu froze for a moment.

This... it is going to take him somewhere, right?

Ah, is it because Huo'er couldn't answer when I asked where its owner was just now, so he just took her to find someone?

This area belongs to Ziyu Pavilion, but Qiuqiu has never been to the direction Huo'er came from.

The place of Ziyu Pavilion is very big, let alone the head of it.Ordinary disciples are not allowed to go to the places where elders and real people live, and there are also some important places that are warned not to approach.

where is this place?

Qiuqiu's footsteps subconsciously slowed down, and she began to look around her surroundings.

This place is really quiet.

Small bridges, flowing water, one side is a lush green mountain wall, and the other side is a faint green bamboo forest.The breeze blows, and the bamboo leaves rustle softly.

Go forward and turn a corner.Just three very ordinary houses.Ordinary, because they are not fancy, Wuwa powder walls, in front of the door there is a big earthen vat, there are water lilies in the vat, the leaves are dark green.The flowers are beautiful, and the goldfish swim among the lotus leaves.

Huo'er jumped onto the window sill, turned around and wagged his tail at Qiuqiu.

Qiuqiu followed with some hesitation.

The windows were open, the light in the room was darker than the outside, and the furnishings looked like they had been used for many years.

Qiuqiu stretched out her hand, but Huo'er didn't move this time.Obediently jumped onto her hand.

"You brought me here to find Shi'er?"

Huo'er nodded violently, and stuck out his tongue at her.

This is a standard style of showing off cuteness and asking for rewards.

Qiuqiu thought to herself.In the past few days, peanuts and jujubes are added to snacks. I am really hungry and cooked. I really don't treat her as an outsider.

Speaking of which, the first time we met, it even bit her.

"Looks like he's not here now."

It's not easy for Qiuqiu to enter other people's houses without the master, and it's even inconvenient to stay here.

She was sitting on the steps in front of the door, with the clay vat beside her.Huo'er didn't know why.I've always wanted to jump on that tank.

Qiuqiu thought, it is unlikely that it is interested in flowers.Most likely, they didn't want to jump into the tank for a swim or something.

Do you want to eat those goldfish?

This Qiuqiu can't just let it go.

These fish look small, but the scales on their bodies are as beautiful as gemstones, and their bodies are graceful. They are definitely not random species—even if they are random species, they are ornamental fish, not edible fish!

Huo'er, can we not be so ashamed?

Qiuqiu felt that since she knew it, her reverence towards dragons, a legendary high-end creature, had plummeted.

Co-author of the legendary high-end creature, the most distinctive thing is eating?Don't care where you are, don't care what you see, just take a bite first.

So... Idols, fantasies, etc., are probably used to be shattered.

This tank is not too big, half the height of a person.The flowers and fish inside are full of vitality and have reached a perfect ecological balance.

The world outside is vast, but their world is only so big.

Qiuqiu's shadow is reflected on the water.

The surface of the water is as smooth as a mirror.

Before Qiuqiu had time to change her clothes, she was still wearing the same outfit that caused her trouble today.

Why didn't she wear it because they didn't like it?The clothes belonged to her, and Master made them for her specially, so Qiuqiu would not change herself for the sake of other people's eyes and misunderstanding.

Putting on new clothes, Qiuqiu felt that she looked different from usual.

It may also be because the shadow reflected on the water surface is not quite the same as the usual mirror.

People often do this.In the past, Xiucai even painted a portrait of Xiucai's wife. Usually, Xiucai's wife only has a bronze mirror the size of a palm, and it has long been blurred.

What people think of themselves is often different from how others see her, and may even be very different.

What do you think of yourself in the eyes of others?

Qiuqiu was fascinated by looking at the water surface.

The fish meanders and swims quietly under the surface of the water.

The cloud shadows in the sky rippled with the fiddle of the fins.

It wasn't until someone walked up to her and another person's shadow appeared on the water that Qiuqiu came back to her senses.

Shi'er is here.

"Huo'er brought me here." Qiuqiu felt the need to explain.

Then she noticed the clothes on him.

A few days ago, he was dressed very plainly, like an ordinary scholar, blue, green, and white, and the most common thing was white robes, which were the kind of linen that can be seen everywhere on the street.

Because dyes are more expensive, all undyed cloth is cheap.

But today, Shi'er is wearing a quaint robe, which is pure and rich inky black, without any variegation.The collar, sleeves and belt were embossed with dark gold lines, and he stood there silently.There is indeed a kind of emperor in the world who is far beyond comparison in power and nobility.

Also, he was wearing a cloak, which was quite long, and that style was absolutely aristocratic.

It doesn't mean how many pearls and gems are inlaid on it, or how many patterns are embroidered on it.On the contrary, there was no decoration on this cloak, it was extremely simple, as if it was a piece of cloth cut out by hand, and then the man put it on even more casually.

good looking.

Qiuqiu couldn't bear to take her eyes away from him.

He wasn't even half uncomfortable.Just stand there and let her look at her.

But looking at it again, Qiuqiu was a little puzzled.

This cloak seems...a bit familiar?

Qiuqiu didn't think much about it, anyway, she would always see someone, a certain place, or something familiar from time to time, and she was used to not looking for the bottom line.

"You also said that you have no place to stay." Qiuqiu smiled triumphantly, pointing to the door behind her: "What is this? Let me find out? Are you a guest invited by the head? You went to see the grand ceremony today without?"

"Go." He never said much.Even when she has to speak, she always speaks very briefly, Qiuqiu has long been used to it.

"I didn't even pay attention to you. There are too many people today."

There are so many people in the hall that they cannot be counted, so it is necessary to distinguish each one clearly.The project is too huge, and the head of the project may not even be able to do it.Qiuqiu is short.Standing in a corner again, trying to find Shi'er out of the crowd, that's not easy.

"I saw you."

"Ah? Really?" Qiuqiu's instinctive reaction was to touch her head, and then stretched out the clothes: "Is this clothes good-looking? It's newly made, and it's the first time I'm wearing it today."

He took a deep look at her, and still only answered two words: "It looks good."

Although the answer was very insincere, his focused, drowning gaze made up for it.

Qiuqiu's face was a little hot.She turned away uncomfortably, coughed and cleared her throat: "You look good in your clothes today."

The other party's answer this time is even more trouble-free.There was a direct "hmm".

After entering the house, there was a sudden silence between the two of them.

Originally, Qiuqiu had a lot to say to him, today's grand ceremony, the gossip about the master and the owner of the Eastern Island, and even those girls who are obsessed with live-action imitation shows are also good topics.

But for some reason, when I saw him, I couldn't remember anything.

It was Shi'er who asked her first: "I saw you staring at the water tank just now, what were you thinking?"

"Ah... I didn't think about anything." Qiuqiu spoke the truth.

Her mind seemed to be blank just now, her eyes were fixed on the lotus, swimming fish, cloud shadows and water ripples, she really didn't have any thoughts, her head was completely empty.

"Like that flower? Or that fish?"

Since he asked, Qiuqiu thought about it seriously.

She thinks that flowers and fish are very good, one is still and the other is moving, the quiet one has its own charm, and the moving one is even more lovable.

But seriously, Qiuqiu actually said an answer that wasn't in the choice: "I like...that tank of water."

Shi'er didn't mean to laugh at her, but asked seriously, "Why?"

"You ask me this, and I can't answer for a while. I just think that whether it is flowers or fish, they all depend on the water to survive. Although flowers and fish are beautiful, I think water is more beautiful. Quiet Sometimes, when there are waves, and...Although the tank is not big, the water surface reflects the sky so high and so far away..."

As Qiuqiu was talking, she was also a little distracted, but she quickly brought back her wandering thoughts: "Isn't it also said in the book that everything is inseparable from water, all born and come from water."

Qiuqiu couldn't remember exactly what those few sentences in the book said, but the meaning was probably like this anyway, so she probably remembered correctly.

"Yes." Shi'er agreed: "The highest kindness is like water, and the virtues carry things."

Qiuqiu felt a little embarrassed.

What he said and what she said should have the same meaning, but what others said was polite, what she said was vernacular.

"During today's grand ceremony, I saw you laughing below, did you think of something interesting?"

Qiuqiu opened her eyes wide: "You can see I'm smiling? Your eyesight is amazing." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is My biggest motivation.)

The moon is actually very good tonight. I stood in front of the window and admired it for a while, but it is said that the moon will be rounder tomorrow.
