A girl

It was a cold night, and the mirror looked into the building and it was even colder than outside.Spring is budding on Qixia Mountain, but the temperature has not yet risen. The moon is hidden in the green mist. Looking at it for a long time makes people feel breathless. The flowers and plants seem to be waiting for the next heavy rain to refresh their emotions. Comfortable in general.

Such a night in Jingwanglou is just an ordinary night.

Ye Ling was watering the flowers and plants outside the Arctic Pavilion. When she saw Nightingale passing by in a hurry, she was worried that there was something wrong in the building. So she stopped Nightingale and asked, "Brother Nightingale, I see you are in a hurry. Is it possible?" What happened in the building again?"

Nightingale was stopped by the voice behind her and had to stop, "There is nothing unusual here, but I heard that a guest came to Jiuyun Pavilion."

"Yes, a girl, her mind seems a little abnormal." Ye Ling hesitated what to say.

When the nightingale heard this, she also felt troubled. A girl?I thought to myself how could such an inhumane person as the original poster bring back a girl for nothing.

"Nightingale, are you listening?" Ye Ling asked softly.

"Yes, yes, of course I am listening, but I have never seen a guest in Jingxiang Tower in these years. Even those famous doctors from the Xian family only live in Xunwu Pavilion in the northern mountain range of Qixia Mountain, and have never set foot in Jingxiang Tower. Half a step downstairs, the owner of the building always likes to be quiet and doesn't see any crowds or noise, so how could he suddenly bring back a girl?" Nightingale was really puzzled.

"It seems I'm not the only one who finds this strange."

Ye Ling's eyebrows rose, as if she had thought of something, and hesitated again whether to say, "Although it is inappropriate for me to discuss the facts about the poster here, but"

"Speak directly when you have something to say. There is no need to beat around the bush." ​​Nightingale's expression was very serious.

"What are you talking about? Ye Ling has grown up in this building since he was a child. When has he ever had any roundabout thoughts? When it comes to loyalty, I will definitely be better than you and Ye Qing. I will let it go now. If you If you say such words again, don’t blame me for turning against you."

"The host never likes the gap between us."

"You are really good at speaking in the tone of the original poster."

Ye Ling said as he turned around and stood up, standing with one foot on the stone table, as if he wanted to test his body skills.

"Okay, Senior Sister, can I call you Senior Sister? What is it that makes you so uneasy? I have never seen you so restless." Seeing Ye Ling's aggressive appearance, with swords on the verge of breaking out, he was at a loss. .

"Now that the world is in chaos, it's a good time to pursue a great cause. It's just that the owner is kind-hearted and doesn't want quick success. This also breaks the rules of Jing Xianglou for so many years."

"The rules of Jingxianglou are the rules of the owner, aren't they?"

"That said, but"

"Could it be that Senior Sister has some kind of admiration for the host of the building? She felt uncomfortable when she saw a woman of unknown origin today."

"Nightingale, when did you stop speaking seriously?"

Ye Ling's throat felt very hot. She had never thought about this before, but when Nightingale said this, she couldn't help but worry. Could it be that she really likes the original poster?What should I do?
"It's not a big deal at first. Although the poster is indifferent, in terms of appearance and knowledge, it is difficult for anyone in the world to match him. Not to mention that the poster's musical skills are profound and wide, and the sound of the piano can connect all things. It is perfect and rare in the world. . It's just a pity." The nightingale raised its head towards the misty night, feeling uncontrollably sad.

"It's just a pity what?" Yeling seemed to be particularly concerned about the words outside the dialogue.

"Senior Sister, have you forgotten that the host cannot remember the beauty of human relationships in the world?"

"I always thought it was just that the landlord was used to loneliness. Could it be that he really can't remember the good? How can there be such a cruel thing in the world? Let a person only remember the ugly and hate, but not the good."

Nightingale looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking that maybe he did this on purpose to make himself forever lonely and indifferent; maybe only in this way can he endure the pain of bone-gnawing and heart-burning nights under the full moon, and be able to shoulder the impossible mission in life.It is difficult for anyone to bear such a mission. How much has this person sacrificed and sacrificed to be able to endure all this and live in this world like a ghost.

"Senior sister, we will do our best to do what the poster told us. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one can help." He was telling the truth, and everyone in Qixia Mountain knew the truth.But the truth is not as nice as lies.

"But, are you really not going to send Hummingbird to find out the origin of this girl?"

"girl?"

"I said earlier that the host brought back a girl, but were you not listening to me at all?"

Nightingale was silent for a while and finally said, "Whether it's a girl or an old man, I don't want to know anything that the host has not told me."

"I think you're talking more and more like the original poster." Ye Ling kicked Nightingale angrily, then gave up and left the garden dejectedly.

How could Nightingale not understand Ye Ling's words clearly, but right now he had more important things and was thinking about how to report to Ye Xiaolou.According to the information brought back by Hummingbird, there are signs of monsters in several villages outside Suishan. Shaowa Village has lost half of its villagers in a week. According to Hummingbird, all the villagers were affected by the red rain more than a month ago. Everywhere they go, old and young suffer from stubborn diseases, and the disease is so severe that in order to avoid disasters and survive, the sick villagers have to leave the village where they have lived for half their lives, abandon their houses, and run away with only a change of clothes, food, and silver to avoid being hit by the red rain. villages took refuge.I didn't want to settle down at all, I just wanted to avoid the plague before going back, so I probably discussed with the local people about temporarily giving them a place to live, food to eat, and helping with some spring plowing work.

The total number of families who have moved to other villages is about a hundred, and they are dragging their families with them. There are many mountainous roads in the Suishan area, so migration is inherently difficult. After finding a place to stay, they should not leave in a short time. But who knows, these villagers Most of them went elsewhere after less than half a month. Things sounded really abnormal.Rumor has it that new villagers were seen packing farm tools in the fields at sunset, but by the next morning they had disappeared.No one in the village knew where those villagers who had left under the stars and the moon had gone.

The remaining villagers were not worried at first, but they were missing a few people from other villages, but later more and more people encountered this kind of farewell without any warning before.The villagers have no inkling at all, so when such things happen frequently, they naturally think of natural disasters and ghosts.

This matter is so strange that I should report it to the poster.

The nightingale saw that the night was already dark, and just after the full moon night, the bright hole in the sky stared straight at him like a pupil.

Sweat broke out on his back, and the uneasiness in his heart deepened.

At this time, the sound of piano floated in the distance, like ice and water, making the already cold Qixia night even more lonely.

Night is never quiet, but the cold air is rushing around. It is the same in the world of Jingwang Tower.
