Gong Xue has bandits

Chapter 11
Qingzhou, Dongyi Mountain, the mountains are rolling under the moon.

In the beautiful and elegant courtyard, the wind chimes in front of the door swayed ethereally, the curtains in the room fluttered, and the room was quiet.

Under the lamp, a sandalwood candle is lit, the light smoke drifts away, and the fragrance is refreshing. The fragrance has a hint of coolness, some of the coldness of early winter, making people feel like they are in a clear mountain stream, where the water freezes thinly and the snow falls silently. The wild wind is blowing all over the world, the sky and the earth are white, clean and lonely.

Sitting in front of the desk was a scholar in white, just like this fairy in the snow, handsome and elegant, with wide sleeves reclined, with a magnificent demeanor, especially those pair of pitch-black eyes, which seemed to crush the stars and the moon into them , It’s so beautiful.

But his person was drunk, lazily supporting his head with one hand, and holding a pen drunkenly with the other hand, writing lines of poems and prose on the snow-white paper, and floating out after finishing a sheet One, the ground has been leisurely covered with paper.

The words on the piece of paper are as handsome as a person, but also as cold as a person, like walking in an empty valley, walking alone, the sky and the earth are flying snow, and there is no way forward.

This is the first time since going up the mountain that Wen Renjun... has seen such a Dongyi Mountain Lord.

After returning to the courtyard after participating in the "Flower God Festival", he locked himself in the room, lit sandalwood candles, and began to write various poems while drinking.

She was grinding ink for him by the side, and she glimpsed those poems with sharp eyes, all of which contained a sense of sadness, and every word hurt.

For some reason, her heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Finally, when that slender white hand was about to pick up the jug again, she couldn't bear it anymore, pressed it down, and said in a strange way: "Your Majesty, you can't drink any more, your body won't be able to take it anymore."

The white robe was startled, and he turned his head, as if he just remembered that there was someone else in the room. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, exuding a hint of madness, and instantly changed back to the familiar "Dong Yi" that Wen Renjun was familiar with. Tiger".

"Shouldn't you persuade me to drink more, so that you can escape when I'm drunk to the point of unconsciousness?"

Being stared at by those overly good-looking eyes, Wen Renjun's heart couldn't help trembling, no wonder since ancient times, beauty seduced people, disasters caused disasters, and a country was wiped out with a little carelessness, it was so reasonable.

Calm and calm, she couldn't be complacent, and forced herself to hold down her mind, she still held the jug tightly, and smiled dryly: "My lord, don't think of me too stupidly, if you do this, you can escape , then you are not worthy to be the 'Dongyi Mountain Monarch', commanding eighteen bandit villages and being loved by the people of Qingzhou..."

Wearing these tall hats, the white clothes hiccupped and showed a funny expression.

He beckoned, beckoning Wen Renjun to come closer, breathed heavily, and pinched her face unexpectedly: "Little monkey, I found out, you are not stupid, you are cowardly, you are so cowardly that flattering is so disgusting, you Aren't you afraid that I'll spit the wine all over you?"

Wen Renjun's face was so hot that he quickly broke free and hurriedly said: "No, no, my admiration for Boss comes from the bottom of my heart!"

In fact, she was right. Even if Dongyi Mountain Lord was drunk, she would not be able to escape. Firstly, she did not know where the mechanism of this courtyard was, and secondly, even if she left this courtyard, she would not be able to escape The big bandit village, not to mention that she was blindfolded when going up and down the mountain, and she didn't know the route at all. Where could one escape to?
But, Mr. Dongyishan was right in laughing. Her truth was indeed mixed with some small thoughts, and she flattered her a little bit. She can bend and stretch, so what is she flattering?
Thinking of this, Wen Renjun's eyes became more sincere: "Boss, really don't drink any more, the night is heavy and dew is heavy, drinking will hurt your health."

The white clothes looked at her for a few times, then smiled suddenly, stopped asking for wine, just continued to bury her head, while she was scribbling, this time, only wrote two words—

"A Fox".

Wen Renjun leaned over and whispered curiously, for some unknown reason, two more words were written on the side of the white robe——

"Luo Heng".

As if seeing the question in Wen Renjun's eyes, the white-clothed scholar tilted his head and smiled: "It's been a long night, why don't I tell you a story?"

Seeing him like this, Wen Renjun's heart was pounding, and there was only one thought in his mind, the king must never smile at her like that again, she really couldn't hold it back.

The night wind was rustling, the moonlight shone through the window lattice, and the sandalwood candles were filled with cold smoke.

It's a story, but it's actually a bit like an excerpt from a play in a teahouse. The beginning is unremarkable, but because of that clear and pleasant voice, Wen Renjun quickly immersed himself in it.

It is said that many years ago, there was a poor scholar named Luo Heng. His parents died young, and he went to Shengdu alone to catch the exam. He brought only a little monkey that he had raised since he was a child.

After he stayed in the inn, he took the little monkey for a walk around the imperial city when he was free for one day while studying the books.

Among them, the place he was most interested in was the famous Zhuxiu Academy. It was built alongside the imperial palace. Extraordinary temperament, ordinary people feel expensive at a glance.

That Luo Heng was a scholar, seeing the holy place in his heart, he was very itchy, so he avoided the guards, carried a little monkey on his back, and quietly went around to the back of Zhuxiu Academy, outside the secluded wall, wanting to listen to the languor inside. book sound.

It was dusk at that time, and the golden sunset spread all over the courtyard wall, and the fragrance of flowers wafted in the wind, creating a poetic and picturesque scene.

Luo Heng was excited, carrying the book basket on his back, and before he stepped forward to listen, there was a movement on the courtyard wall, and when he looked up, it was a white shadow against the light, jumping down from the wall.

Before he could react in time, the little monkey in his book basket had already got out, caught the small thing with two furry arms, and grinned.

It was only then that Luo Heng realized that it was a snow-white little fox that fell from the sky. Just as he was wondering, there was another movement on the courtyard wall. He looked up again, darling, this time he was even more surprised. The one with a head was also a white shadow against the light, but it was much larger than the little fox, because it was a person——

A beautiful girl in white clothes with flying long hair, bright eyes and white teeth.

As soon as she saw Luo Heng, she was also startled, as if she hadn't expected that there was someone standing outside the remote courtyard wall, maybe she was caught "trumping class", she was a little flustered, she couldn't hold her hands, and she was about to leave It fell from the wall.

When it was too late, Luo Heng stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and the warm and fragrant nephrite embraced him.

At that moment, he felt as if the world had quieted down, and all the plants and trees were dead, leaving only his chaotic heartbeat.

He looked at the girl in his arms, those water-scissored almond eyes stared at him wide, reflecting his slightly bewildered look, he was a little dazed, feeling as if he had fallen into an unreal dream middle.

After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is on the water, and the boat is full of dreams and the galaxy.

The little monkey stretched out his hand, received it firmly, and hugged the little white fox that fell from the sky.

He stretched out his hand, received it firmly, and hugged the girl who fell from the sky...

Pure, beautiful, fairy-like girl.

After the girl came to her senses, she broke free from his arms, she didn't seem too shy, she just covered her mouth and smiled at his blushing face: "Why, are you stupid because of me?"

She took back her snow fox from the little monkey's hand, looked at him with a slight smile, and said in a crisp voice like a clear spring in the mountains, "Thank you and your little monkey for saving us, one person and one fox. How about I invite you to eat fairy fruit?"

As she spoke, she grabbed his hand and led him into the wild wind without any explanation, the corners of her skirt fluttered, and her laughter flew up to the clouds in the sky, pulsating in the setting sun.

Many years later, Luo Heng could still clearly remember the wind, the cloud, the golden sunset that day, and the endless fragrance from her hair.

He had never seen such a bright and bold girl in his life. The first time he met, he took him to her "secret Taoyuan".

Yes, the so-called "fairy fruit" actually grows on the back hill of the academy. It is a clear and sweet snow-white wild fruit. It is hidden in a deserted place. It is very quiet on weekdays. There are clear streams and lush trees. The ancient trees, pushing aside the grass, can see the sky when you look up, just like a small "paradise".

Luo Heng was very surprised that she would share this small world with him, but the beautiful girl hugging the white fox smiled playfully: "I see that you have a good eye, so I brought it if I wanted to. Why are there so many?"

She raised her slender hand, picked a wild fruit for him, and handed it to him with a smile, "If you have to get to the bottom of it, it's probably because...you are handsome, I am happy to see it."

Luo Heng wiped the wild fruit clean and put it in his mouth. Hearing the sound, he almost coughed out, but the girl's brows and eyes became even more crooked with a smile: "We have searched all the classes in the world of Xuanhuang in our academy, and I'm afraid we can't find someone as good-looking as you." Little beauty, why can't I bring you here? A beauty is perfect for a beautiful scenery, what do you think?"

This "little beauty" finally made Luo Heng spit out successfully. After he was in a hurry, he blushed slightly and said to the girl in front of him: "I am a man, not a beauty, you are the beauty."

The setting sun is sinking to the west, the wind sweeps across the fields, and the mountains and forests are so gentle.

The girl stared at him for a while, then suddenly took a step forward and raised his chin: "Beauty, do we have to brag about each other shamelessly like this?"

The two stared at each other for a while, and they looked at each other for an unknown amount of time, and finally couldn't hold back, and laughed together.

The memories of that day are deeply buried in Luo Heng's heart, always with a yellowish soft luster, and the wind is filled with the fragrance of early spring grass and trees.

When parting, he told the girl his name, and after he finished speaking, he looked eagerly at the palace school jade badge on the girl's waist, obviously hoping that she would tell her the same, but the pretty white clothes took off the jade badge and quickly appeared in front of his eyes. In a flash, he smiled like a little fox:

"Want to know my name? I won't tell you, guess what?"

She tilted her head and fluttered her eyelashes, full of interest: "How about we play a game, if you guess my last name, I'll tell you my full name, and help you realize a wish, how about?"

Naturally, Luo Heng would not refuse this "game". After he returned, he began to think about it and start doing his homework.

The girl was born in a palace school, her family must be either rich or noble, she is bright and bold, she dared to jump over the wall and skip class, and she was not afraid of being expelled from the academy, and she said that if she could easily help him realize any wish, it must be more than just "rich". It's "expensive", not ordinary "expensive", he guessed that she must be a lady from some family, the rank of father and brother will only be high, not low.

With such a direction, it sounded much clearer. In the early morning of the next day, Luo Heng carried the book basket and took the little monkey to the bustling teahouses and restaurants in the city. The case of the nobility.

At dusk, with a certain amount in his mind, he quietly walked around to the back of the academy and waited in the same place. Sure enough, not long after, two large and small white shadows emerged from the wall again...

They still went to the "Secret Taoyuan". He almost couldn't wait to tell her his answer, but he underestimated the cunning of "Fox Girl". Guess once!"

"This..." Luo Heng was speechless for a long time before he made a desperate decision and picked the one he thought was the closest: "My surname is Yang, the daughter of General Yang Tieshan, right?"

The pretty white clothes blinked, looked at Luo Heng's serious appearance, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Do I look so rude?"

"No, no, no, it's just..." Luo Heng knew he had guessed wrong, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "You are very straightforward and bold, unlike other ladies in the boudoir, that's why I thought you were the daughter of a general."

"You don't know that, I can pretend." The girl in white hooked her fingers, beckoning Luo Heng to come closer, "Let me tell you a secret, in fact, I am the same as those young ladies you mentioned in the academy, even worse than them." You have to follow the rules and be unsmiling, but it's different here, this is my own territory, I can do whatever I want, I don't have to worry about so many annoying eyes, I don't need to be watched by others, here, it's just me and me My little fox is so free, so at ease."

"Of course, there is one more you now, you are not allowed to say it, do you hear me?"

The girl's long eyelashes fluttered, her eyes were sly and agile, and she even stretched out her slender little finger, as if she wanted to make a hook with someone. Luo Heng's breath was choked and his heart was beating continuously. After a long while, he finally caught the white hair. Little Finger: "Definitely, gentleman promises, I won't tell anyone."

In this way, the two boys and girls began to meet quietly, in the undisturbed paradise, picking fruits and catching fish, sitting on the ground under the curtain of the sky, playing the flute under the tree, discussing poems and prose with each other, and lived a carefree life.

Luo Heng guessed the girl's surname once a day, but he still couldn't get it right, so he always regarded her as a "fox girl" and called her "Ahu".

Sometimes when Ahu gets tired from playing, he will lean on Luo Heng's shoulder and yawn: "I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while, Luo Heng, can you tell me a story?"

At first Luo Heng didn't know what to say, until he glanced casually and saw a little white fox and a little monkey playing by the stream, he had a flash of inspiration and said, "Look, we have foxes, monkeys, and horses here." Camel, all kinds of beasts are gathered, how about I tell you a story in "Shan Hai Jing"?"

The sandalwood candles were smoky, the curtains in the room were flying, and the moonlight was pouring on the ground. When Wen Renjun heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and something echoed in his ears——

"I have told people about "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" before, but I can tell it much better than you. You follow the scriptures completely and have a good memory, but how can it be considered an interesting story? Of course, it must be interesting for girls... I At that time, I was afraid that she would not understand, so I drew a picture and explained it to her one by one. The wind in early spring was still very cool. She put on my clothes and the petals fell on her head. I couldn’t tell the difference for a while. , is the flower more beautiful, or is she more beautiful..."

As early as Dongyi Shanjun started to tell, Wen Renjun had already vaguely guessed something, and now she was very sure, she couldn't help pursing her lips: "My lord, Luo Heng must have told Ah Hu about the "Mountain and Sea" for many days. Sutra, does Ahu like to listen to it?"

The scholar in white turned his head and looked calmly: "I like it very much."

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, but his smile was cold, piercing to the bone: "I like them so much that they fall in love with each other for a long time, and make a promise in the mountains for a lifetime, and make an agreement with each other. After the spring is over, Luo Heng pulls out his head and comes." Marry Ah Hu, for the rest of my life, never to be separated."

Wen Renjun couldn't help leaning closer when he heard the origin: "Then what happened later? Did Luo Heng win the first prize?"

The white-clothed scholar narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to give a slight smile, and after a long time, he reached out to flick the candle, "There is no more."

Wen Renjun was startled: "What?"

The scholar in white looked back at her, his eyes were cold and calm, and said word by word: "Because, the game is over."
