Stare.
It was Xiao Longnu's stare.
Run Yu held Xiao Longnu's wrist and transferred spiritual energy to her to adjust her chaotic internal energy. During this process, Run Yu felt a bit guilty because of her stare.
"Miss Long, Run Yu shouldn't have pretended that he didn't know martial arts. I'm sorry. "
Xiao Longnu replied with an "en" and continued to stare.
Run Yu didn't understand. Was he not sincere enough in admitting his mistake? Or was it that she wasn't angry, but suspicious? So he explained, "Miss Long, Run Yu is using a special kind of internal energy to heal you. Don't think too much about it." He couldn't tell her about his spiritual energy right now, otherwise it wouldn't make sense. He couldn't tell her that he was actually a white dragon.
Xiao Longnu still replied with a faint "en".
This kind of atmosphere continued until Run Yu finished healing. Run Yu, who thought he was very good at reading people's expressions, couldn't even guess the slightest bit of the girl's thoughts from those ethereal eyes! Run Yu was about to collapse.
Run Yu decided not to be entangled in this matter and ended the healing. "Miss Long's life is no longer in danger, but you can't force yourself to practice martial arts for the time being. Your body is unwell, so it's not good for you to use your strength. Can you allow Run Yu to carry you down the mountain? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Longnu opened her arms.
Run Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Could it be that Miss Long's personality was sealed by the ancient tomb? Why did it seem like she was a different person?
No matter how smart Run Yu was, he couldn't imagine what that oath meant to Xiao Longnu. In the oath, "I am willing to die for you" was not supposed to be the "righteousness" that Run Yu held, nor was it a delaying tactic that he used to save Longnu's life. The oath was a gamble of love, a love that could go to the ends of the earth.
Breaking this vow was tantamount to breaking the hard shell that Xiao Longnu had firmly wrapped around her heart for eighteen years.
Xiao Longnu opened this acupoint, and the feelings in her heart were like a mountain flood bursting through a dam. For a moment, all the feelings that she had cut off because she had cut off her seven emotions and six desires came back to her. She thought of her master and Grandma Sun, and began to remember the feeling of parting and missing.
The scene of meeting Run Yu for the first time that day appeared in front of her eyes. At first, she didn't know much about love, and only thought that the Young Master was like the moon, gentle, elegant, and aloof. Now that she thought about it, she actually saw him in a new light at that time, and faintly admired him in her heart. If it wasn't for the fact that her heart was moved at that time, no matter how Grandma Sun begged her, she would definitely not let an adult man stay in the ancient tomb. She would definitely find another way to repay her benefactor.
Silk bound by silk, three stars at home. What day is it today, to see such a bright person? [1]
Xiao Longnu leaned on Run Yu's back, and a tear fell down.
The tear fell on Run Yu's neck. Run Yu vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the girl on his back. "Miss Long, are you okay?"
Xiao Longnu was silent for a moment, and then hugged the man's shoulder harder. "I'm fine …"
In the following month, Run Yu settled Xiao Longnu in an inn at the foot of the mountain to recuperate. Usually, he followed the etiquette of a gentleman, and most of the time, he didn't stay with Xiao Longnu. Even if there was no one around, he didn't go to Xiao Longnu's room to sit. He would rather stand alone in front of the window in the corridor outside.
Xiao Longnu liked to play zither and chess in the tomb. It was inconvenient to go out in the inn, so she borrowed the seven-stringed zither and chess in the inn to entertain herself. Every time Xiao Longnu played the zither, the inn's business would explode. The innkeeper was overjoyed. He feasted with delicacies and gifted a zither. He only hoped that these two immortal-like guests would play the zither more often … After playing the zither, it would be good to talk about love, right? The shopkeeper was a layman. He didn't know what "the zither is playing, all is good". He only knew that two extremely good-looking people standing together made people feel refreshed.
Run Yu and Longnu were thoughtful and innocent. Although their temperaments were very different, their tastes and hobbies were very similar. Xiao Longnu used to only be accompanied by Grandma Sun in the tomb. It was difficult to find a good zither player, and she didn't have an opponent in chess. It was the first time she met someone like Run Yu, who was good at music and chess. She couldn't help but be happy. Outside, she was silent and cold as ice, but when it came to things that she was familiar with and liked, she could actually talk to Run Yu. In particular, Run Yu knew a lot of zither songs that she had never heard before. The tunes were like the sounds of nature. After she asked Run Yu to teach her, she also returned a lot of small tunes that Run Yu didn't know.
The two of them played zither and chess. The leisurely time in the inn was not boring at all. Instead, it made people reminisce endlessly.
Xiao Longnu was used to looking at Run Yu's back. He usually treated her gently and elegantly. Moreover, he had a good memory and had seen a lot. Every time she chatted with him, Xiao Longnu felt that it was new and interesting.
However, his back gave her a completely different feeling. It was actually so lonely.
Xiao Longnu had been practicing martial arts for a month. The injuries from the last time she practiced martial arts had already been completely healed. The reason why she still stayed in the inn was because Run Yu didn't ask to leave. This time, she defeated her uneasy heart and took the initiative to walk towards the back of the person in the corridor.
"Yu Er, you're usually not in the inn. Where did you go? "
"Miss Long, the outside world is not as simple as the tomb." Run Yu remembered that Xiao Longnu was ignorant about the world. Back in the tomb, she had mentioned that she wanted to give him royal jelly so she could change her house outside. Presumably, she didn't have the concept of money. "The inns we stay in and the food we eat on a daily basis all cost money. Money can't come out of thin air. We can only earn it. "
Xiao Longnu slightly opened her eyes, "Money, how do you earn it?"
Run Yu patiently explained, "There are countless ways to earn money. For example, I know how to do accounts. I help the shopkeeper clear up the old debts, so he doesn't charge us for the room. I can also sell some of the calligraphy and paintings that I made. I can also earn money. "
Xiao Longnu didn't really understand. Then she noticed the wood shavings on the windowsill and the knife under Run Yu's sleeve. She asked, "What are you carving?"
Run Yu's hand slightly trembled as he replied, "I'm carving a hairpin."
Xiao Longnu thought that Run Yu was omnipotent. The hairpin he carved must be very beautiful. Thus, she pointed at his hidden left hand, "I want to see."
Run Yu could only let her see. His eyes slightly drooped. It was unknown what kind of expression he had in his eyes.
"Is this a grape vine?" Xiao Longnu sincerely praised, "You carved it so well."
Run Yu didn't say anything.
Some people like to carve dragons, phoenixes, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo chrysanthemums, or directly inlaid with gold and silver. But very few people would carve a grape vine on a hairpin. Xiao Longnu's jade fingers rubbed the wooden hairpin, "Yu Er, do you like grapes?"
"I … …" He raised his eyes. There seemed to be sadness in his eyes. "In the past … … I liked them very much."
Xiao Longnu pursed her lips. It was winter now, but she remembered the sweet and sour taste of iced grapes in summer. "I've always liked to eat grapes. When I was young, my master doted on me. He even cut a piece of land in the tomb to grow grapes." But when she thought that she couldn't go back to the tomb for the time being, she felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that Yu Er didn't eat the grapes in the tomb. If you ate them, I believe you will like grapes again."
"Miss Long!" Run Yu suddenly put away the hairpin. After realizing that he had forgotten himself, he moistened his throat and said, "Miss Long's body has fully recovered, and Run Yu has saved enough money. We can go back at any time."
Xiao Longnu frowned, "That's good. This hairpin is so beautiful. You don't have to hide it. I'll put it on for you. "
"It's … … not mine."
"Oh, then you carved it to 'make money'?"
"I can't sell it."
"Do you want to give it to me?"
"No, it doesn't match Miss Long."
He didn't wear it for himself, didn't sell it, and didn't want to give it to others. Then why did he carve it? Xiao Longnu didn't understand.
"Miss Long, Run Yu wants to leave tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Xiao Longnu didn't hesitate, "But why are you in such a hurry? I like this place very much. "
"Run Yu can't stay in one place for too long …" The Celestial Ruler had made too many enemies. Back then, when he was meditating in the wilderness, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. His whereabouts were discovered by the nearby demons and monsters, and they surrounded him. Although he had given them a lesson last time? A lesson, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be a second?? Person who wanted to kill him. Moreover, if his disappearance was known by the ministers in the Heavenly Realm who didn't want him to succeed the throne, it would cause chaos. Kuang Lu must have understood this, so she would probably announce to the public that "the Celestial Ruler is in seclusion, and it's not convenient for him to meet guests."
Fortunately, he was now in the body of a mortal. As long as he didn't come into close contact with immortals or demons, he wouldn't be exposed. To reduce the risk, he couldn't stay in a crowded place for too long.
Xiao Longnu didn't ask why he couldn't stay in one place for too long. Instead, she asked curiously, "Yu Er, have you thought about where to go?"
Run Yu nodded and said,
"One of Run Yu's friends left me a note before he left. It said 'Huizhou Tangyue Ju'. I think my friend must have his reasons for doing so, so I plan to go to Huizhou to see what's so special about this place. We can also enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan along the way. "
Xiao Longnu said, "Okay."
Run Yu said again, "When we get to Huizhou Tangyue Ju, if we don't find anything special, we can leave quickly. Then we can go to Xiangyang City to find Yang Guo, Grandma Sun, and the others. "
Xiao Longnu still said, "Okay."
Run Yu had recently flipped through the map and knew that Huizhou and Xiangyang were located in the north and south. Mortals couldn't travel thousands of miles in a day like immortals, so the journey would definitely be very long. When they went, he and Xiao Longnu could ride a horse, walk, or take a boat. When they came back, he would ask Dugu Qiubai for help. He would ask the sword immortal to use some small magic to bring them back and forth quickly. At that time, Dugu could open his eyes to see the fate and see what the relationship between Xiao Longnu and the Heavenly Realm was.
Over the years, Runyu had gotten used to thinking ahead of every step he took. Even when he descended to the mortal world, there was no longer any Celestial Emperor or Empress ready to criticize his mistakes. He still had this habit. However, even he himself didn't expect that Xiao Longnu would always exist in the near future that he had planned for.
