After the two of them escaped from the dream and returned to reality, Meng Xiaotu kicked the doubtful Li Nanke out of the house and changed into daily clothes.
After washing up, the two of them sat at the table and talked seriously.
"Just ask."
Meng Xiaotu took out a carrot and took a bite. Her tone was casual, and there was no strange expression on her fair and frayed face.
Li Nanke didn't know what to ask for a moment.
Looking at the carrot in the other person's hand, he remembered that the little rabbit in the dream didn't seem to like it when he was young, and asked: "You don't like carrots?"
The girl didn't answer, only the crisp chewing sound of "knock-knock-knock-knock".
Li Nanke understood that the other party was unwilling to answer this question, so he asked instead: "Is that your red rain dream?"
"Um."
"That place was your former hometown?"
"That's right."
Meng Xiaotu nodded, "Many memories from my childhood have been blurred. I can only rely on my imagination to create them bit by bit, including the sea, mountain peaks and so on."
Made!?
Li Nanke was stunned for a moment before realizing the shocking power in the other party's words.
"You mean, you created that village in your dream?"
"Yes."
Meng Xiaotu didn't seem to think this was a big deal. She touched her stomach and felt a little hungry. She went to the kitchen and took out two tortillas and handed one to the man.
The latter shook his head, and she piled the two together and started eating.
The food looks very unsightly.
Just like her sleeping position.
But as long as you are beautiful and cute, no matter how unsightly your sleeping and eating position is, you will still not be disgusted by others.
Li Nanke was extremely shocked and asked: "So you often sleep and build a house in your own dreams?"
"More or less, sometimes I really sleep."
Meng Xiaotu said vaguely, "After all, sleeping and eating delicious food are the most wonderful things in the world. If you sleep more while you are young, you may close your eyes and never be able to open them again when you get old."
Maybe she almost choked after what she said, so the girl quickly picked up the tea bowl and drank a few mouthfuls, then raised her head and chin to swallow the food.
The soft golden light passed through the cracks of the somewhat worn window and fell on the girl's body. The small half of the snowy neck exposed at the collar seemed to be glowing with a dazzling luster.
Li Nanke stared at the girl blankly.
The other party is still the innocent and cute little rabbit.
But compared to his superficial understanding of her in the past, it was now that he truly understood this girl's inner weakness and open-minded side.
Just like the sea she created in a dream.
It is endless as far as the eye can see, but it can be contained in a small dreamland, and it can be cloudy or sunny depending on the mood.
"But other people's dreams are places in reality, and they come out on their own initiative."
"Others are others, I am me."
Meng Xiaotu said proudly, "I can create anything in my dreams, as long as I want."
"...Your parents too?"
"..."
The girl was silent, lowering her head and eating the corn cake silently, her eyelashes curved like a fan slightly covering the sadness in her eyes.
Just when Li Nanke thought that the other party would not answer, the girl said quietly: "Those are memories from my childhood. They are so far away that I can hardly remember what they looked like.
They died when I was a child. Later, I discovered that I could build what I wanted in my dreams, so I created some vague memories in my mind.
I just want to keep them in my dreams, for fear that one day I will really forget them all..."
As she spoke, the girl pursed her lips again.
She looked steadily at the old table, with a pair of dark eyes, with an almost blank expression.
It seemed that her heart was full of contradictions all the time.
Let herself live in the past, or focus on the future... She has never been able to make a choice.
"How did they die?"
Although Li Nanke understood that such a question was adding salt to the wound, he still couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
Apparently Meng Xiaotu didn't want to answer, so she shrugged the tip of her red nose and changed the topic.
"I don't know if Sister Leng has ever told you that I was actually adopted by my grandma..."
Meng Xiaotu looked outside the door, and saw the old figure with a gentle and grateful smile on his face, "Grandma took me in, otherwise I would either starve to death or be eaten by wild wolves."
Turns out he was adopted.
Li Nanke suddenly realized, no wonder there was no trace of grandma in his dream memories.
"What's going on with that nightmare?"
Li Nanke asked.
Meng Xiaotu finished the remaining corn cake and said: "As long as it is a red rain dream, there will be nightmares. But I am a dreamer, and I have conquered the nightmares."
The girl showed a proud expression again.
Conquer the nightmare...
Li Nanke couldn't help but raise his thumb, "Awesome."
In fact, what he wanted to ask was what psychological shadow the girl had had.
After all, nightmares represent the nightmares of the past.
But the girl didn't want to tell her, and he couldn't force her to reveal her secret with scars.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Meng Xiaotu patted the tortilla crumbs on her hands and tilted her head to look at the man.
Li Nanke shook his head.
The girl smiled sweetly and stretched out her young little finger.
"What?"
Men don't know why.
Meng Xiaotu pouted her rosy little mouth and said dissatisfiedly: "Of course it's a hook, you have to keep this secret for me!"
Li Nanke smiled and hooked the girl's finger.
Then, each other's thumbs followed the little finger's hook and then turned up to touch each other, kissed gently, and stamped a seal.
"alright."
Meng Xiaotu showed a satisfied smile, with two cute little rabbit teeth as white as rock salt, and said to the man, "Tell me."
Li Nanke was confused, "What did you say?"
"Of course I'm telling you a secret of yours."
Meng Xiaotu looked serious, "You know one of my secrets, now you have to exchange one of your own secrets, so that we can be even."
Well, we still know fair trade.
Li Nanke smiled and said: "We are already husband and wife after all, so we should trust each other."
"Who is your husband and wife?" Meng Xiaotu's face flushed slightly, she stood up and put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't think that I am with you... Anyway, I am not your wife. Oh no, you already have a wife, so I am not you.
My concubine!"
"Okay, okay, then I won't marry you."
Li Nanke nodded repeatedly.
But after hearing the man's words, the girl suddenly felt a sense of loss.
If you want to get married, it's not impossible to consider it.
She puffed up her cheeks like buns and said in a low voice: "Tell me your secret quickly, otherwise I will never pay attention to you again!"
Li Nanke thought for a while and decided to tell his dream about red rain, saying: "Actually, I'm almost the same as you..."
"What!?"
Meng Xiaotu covered her red lips and said in shock, "Your parents also died when you were young?"
"..."
What kind of thinking is this girl!
Li Nanke's mouth twitched, giving the other party a shock, and said angrily: "My parents are living well. I mean, I also have my own red rain dream."
"Can I build a house in a dream?"
"cannot."
"Can you transform the sea?"
"cannot."
"Oh." Meng Xiaotu lost interest and looked very contemptuous, "Then just be like everyone else. You are also a dream master and can solve nightmares."
"Forget it, I'll explain it in detail sometimes."
Li Nanke suddenly thought of the purpose of his visit and was too lazy to talk nonsense. He said, "Sister Leng asked me to call you. A special inspector from the capital will come to inspect today. Don't get into trouble."
"It's those people in the capital again who have nothing to do when they're full."
Meng Xiaotu muttered, took another piece of tortilla from the kitchen and walked out of the yard with Li Nanke.
Before leaving, Meng Xiaotu came to grandma.
"Grandma, I'm going to fight monsters. Go back to the house early in the afternoon so you don't catch a cold."
Meng Xiaotu gave instructions while putting a coat that she had brought with her before leaving the house on the old woman.
Seeing the girl, the old woman's wrinkled face became more smiley.
She took out a small bunch of copper coins from her body and put it into the girl's hand. With a toothless mouth, she said softly, "Little rabbit, go out and eat more. Don't be hungry."
"I know, I'm already so fat."
Meng Xiaotu did not refuse and held the copper coin in her hand.
But when I was arranging the old lady's clothes, she quietly put the bunch of copper coins back.
"Grandma, give me a kiss before you leave."
The girl opened her lips in an exaggerated manner, kissed the old woman on the forehead, leaving a glistening saliva, then waved and said, "Goodbye, grandma."
"Be careful out there, there are many bad people."
The old man smiled and wiped the girl's saliva on his forehead with his sleeve, and ordered.
"Know it."
The girl waved her hand and pulled Li Nanke towards the city.
"Why does your grandma keep sitting there?"
After walking for a while, Li Nanke finally couldn't hold back and asked about his doubts.
Meng Xiaotu said: "I don't know, I must be waiting for someone. Anyway, ever since I became sensible, grandma would sit there when she had free time, like this every day."
Li Nanke nodded and did not ask any further questions.
He looked back at the old lady.
The old woman's thin body was still sitting as still as a rock, staring at Phoenix Mountain, her figure lonely and desolate.
…………
Yan Yunfang was sent to the gate of the hospital by Luo Qianqiu.
When she was leaving, she suddenly saw the silver spear standing by the wall. She couldn't help but change her expression, and asked a little puzzled: "Why is this gun still here?"
Now that the junior sister has left Linggu and her cultivation has been abolished, it is even more impossible to take this gun away.
After all, this gun is of great significance to Master.
"It was an accident."
Luo Qianqiu said helplessly, "I gave it to my wife when I left. Unexpectedly, it was stolen out by someone, and by chance it returned to my hands."
"Stolen?"
Yan Yunfang felt a little incredible.
Although Linggu is not as famous as those big sects in the arena, it is still difficult to get in and steal things.
unless……
Yan Yunfang suddenly thought of something, and her face became a little solemn, "Xiaoqiu, could it be that Master knew about your recovery and thought you had deceived everyone with your medical skills, so he deliberately gave you a warning?"
Yan Yunfang had no good impression of her former master.
With that man's jealous temper, he would never make things easier for his disciple who left the valley.
The cultivation level granted must be taken back no matter what.
Luo Qianqiu's eyes were worried, "Actually, I thought the same thing. I was afraid that Master would bring trouble to my husband, so I always wanted to take the initiative to explain clearly, but I was also afraid that it would be difficult to come back."
"Don't go!"
Yan Yunfang said quickly, "That person will definitely destroy your cultivation and even hurt you twice as much, even if you are a niece. Take my advice and find that mysterious old Taoist priest as soon as possible. Maybe he can protect you and Nan
Ke.”
Luo Qianqiu smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I can't find it. I think it will be better as long as the master's wife is here."
"Master's wife..."
Yan Yunfang sighed, "Master's Wife is just a miserable person. And Master's Wife is..."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then suddenly whispered into Luo Qianqiu's ear.
The latter looked stunned and a little unbelievable, "It's impossible."
"I saw it with my own eyes, how can it be false?"
Yan Yunfang took Luo Qianqiu's hand and patiently advised, "In short, Master's Wife cannot protect herself. If you go, you may even harm her. Master will mistakenly think that it was Master's Wife who helped you in the first place."
"I see."
Luo Qianqiu's face showed a bit of sadness.
The other party is right.
If I go there rashly, my master's jealous temper will probably bring trouble to my wife.
As a result, his situation becomes even worse.
The old Taoist priest couldn't help her, and the master's wife couldn't protect herself... If the master really came to find her, who could help her.
Unless a new master can be found...
New master?
Luo Qianqiu's beautiful eyes flashed, and a masked silver-haired woman holding a sword appeared in her mind.
Why don't you find her?
But if such a beautiful person is brought into the house, what will happen to her husband?
Luo Qianqiu was entangled in her heart.
Probably not.
After all, the Sword Fairy is a truly pure person with no desires, and has no love in the world of mortals.
No matter how charming your husband is, it is impossible for him to fall in love.
But that flirtatious fox named Yu Hongye needs some attention.
