In the silent night, the fireflies in the reeds emit a dark light like gold. They are so brilliant and beautiful that they can compete with the stars in the sky.
The shallow voice becomes more natural and harmonious, and the pure voice is mixed with a touch of bitterness, making it appear extraordinarily real.
Xia and Shang arrived behind Qianqian, and no one disturbed her silence.
Although she was humming only the music, she was singing the lyrics in her heart.
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes, which is the reflection of this moment.
Seeing Qian Qian's lonely back, Xia Shang's heart trembled slightly. He just wanted to take her away, let her see more of the prosperity of the city, and let her taste more delicious food in the world. Only then would he not waste his money on her innocence.
And a shallow life.
The three of them stood behind Qian Qian for a long time. When the singing stopped, Qian Qian turned around.
For some reason, there were tears in the corners of Qian Qian's eyes, and he looked a little lonely.
Xia Shang thought she had killed someone against her will, and felt uncomfortable, so he stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Thank you for saving me."
Qian Qian turned back, shook her head with a faint smile, and gestured lightly to Xia Shang.
Xia Shang understood the meaning of the first part, and Qian Qian wanted to listen to that song again. But Qian Qian also said a sign language at the end, which Xia Shang didn't understand.
Ye Bin knew it, and he frowned, stepped forward, and grabbed Qian Qian's shoulders: "What do you mean by being afraid of not having a chance in the future?"
Qian Qian had a firm expression and gestured to Ye Bin. The two siblings seemed to be having some arguments.
Xia Shang saw it and interrupted the two of them: "If you want to hear me sing, don't say anything."
If I could see, I could easily tell the difference between day and night...
Although Qian Qian and Shang Rong have not heard this song often, the familiar melody and familiar lyrics seem to be imprinted in their bones.
With a slightly rough sound, but the memory is like a dreamy night rain, the rise and fall of the notes are always beating on the heart, no matter how many times I listen to it, it always makes people feel desolate.
Or girls who are full of fantasy about youth are obsessed with this kind of wine, no matter how many times they get drunk and cry, they still like it.
Shang Rong tried to shed tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at the starry night of Taihu Lake.
Smiling lightly, with tears in clusters.
After Xia Shang finished singing, Qian Qian came over, embraced Xia Shang with both hands, and her fragrant and soft lips touched Xia Shang's cheek like a dragonfly, as if she could feel the sweetness in this innocent girl's mouth.
Qian Qian's face was slightly red, but she didn't flinch. She leaned in front of Xia Shang and whispered: "Hmm, uh, uh..."
The voice was vague, but Qian Qian was extremely careful, as if she was trying to speak a few notes with all her strength.
She didn't want to write, she didn't make gestures, it was just like using her voice to convey it to Brother Xia, who she had encountered several times but was still in her heart.
Qian Qian tried very hard, but still couldn't explain clearly.
But Xia Shang understood that it was a simple "thank you".
"The nights are long and the dreams are many. When will you leave?"
While he was slightly moved, an inappropriate word broke the atmosphere.
Yuan An, exhausted, walked up to the crowd and signaled that he wanted to leave Taihu Lake as soon as possible.
There was nothing wrong with this suggestion. Xia Shang also wanted to leave early. It was late at night and it was safe to sail, so after thinking about it, he decided to leave now.
However, Ye Bin wants to return to the water village. After being a water bandit for more than ten years, he cannot live without the water village.
What's even more surprising is that Qian Qian also wants to go back with Ye Bin.
Thinking about the gestures Qian Qian and Ye Bin made before, it must have been a dispute over this matter.
Looking at it now, Ye Bin seemed unable to convince his sister, so he had no choice but to apologize to Xia Shang: "Qianqian said she still wants to stay with me."
Xia Shang glanced at Qianqian and understood why she wanted to listen to that song again, as if she really had no chance.
Qian Qian also looked at Xia Shang, her eyes moved, and then looked to one side.
Xia Shang sighed: "Forget it, we'll see you later!"
Perhaps she didn't expect Xia Shang to be so decisive, her eyes were slightly red, but fortunately the night was covering her, so no one saw her heart palpitating at this moment.
As a woman, Shang Rong naturally understands Qian Qian's thoughts. For her, she feels a lot of regret and sympathy in her heart. At the same time, she feels lucky that at least she has a legitimate reason to go with Mr. Xia again.
After a brief silence, Xia Shang said: "Now that we have decided, let's get on the boat."
Hearing this, Shang Rong arrived on the boat first.
Xia Shang and Yuan An followed closely behind.
Shang Rong was arranging the oars, and Xia Shang was walking ahead. She was a little reluctant to leave, and followed Xia Shang step by step to the side of the boat, looking at it eagerly.
It's just that Xia Shang's back was turned and he didn't see the girl's dreamy eyes.
However, a hint of murderous intent suddenly flashed through the calmness.
Then I heard a shallow scream coming from behind: "Yeah!"
Xia Shang felt that something was wrong. When he looked back, he heard a "puff" and a hot blood arrow sprayed on Xia Shang's face. A body as soft as a broken kite fell into Xia Shang's arms.
The ghastly long knife pierced her shoulder, and blood flowed freely.
When Xia Shang saw it, his mind buzzed: "Qianqian!"
There was still a bitter smile on her pretty pale face, and her eyes were still as pure as spring water, but the bright red on her face was like burning flames, devouring the little girl's body.
The moonlight was dyed with haze, and a heavy atmosphere fell like a curtain, pressing on everyone's heart.
"Qianqian!"
"Qianqian!"
The silent girl really had no voice. Xia Shang felt as if he had been bitten by an ant in his heart!
That knife!
That knife!
"Yuan An!"
The flames were about to burn Xia Shang's eyes, and the roar frightened the fireflies in the reeds into silence.
Yuan An also had a short sword in his hand, and the blood on his body was just like that of Xia Shang.
"Nosy woman! No matter who you are, Xia, you must die today!"
After saying that, Yuan An stabbed Xia Shang's eyebrows with his short sword.
"Go to hell!"
Xia Shang roared angrily, without dodging or dodging, he grabbed the blade of the dagger, not caring about the cut on his palm, and with a heart-rending roar, he tore the dagger into two pieces.
Yuan An was shocked. He had always thought that Xia Shang was just...a weak scholar!
How much strength does it take to tear the blade apart with brute force?
Yuan An had not recovered at all, but when faced with Xia Shang's anger, he immediately became confused.
With a ferocious expression on his face, Xia Shang threw the broken blade back with his backhand, stabbing Yuan An straight into his shoulder, making him wail.
Xia Shang was still holding Qian Qian in his arms, but Xia Shang didn't care about this. He stepped off the boat and stepped on Yuan An's ankle.
"ah!"
The sound of bone cracking was clearly audible, and Yuan An instantly curled up like a shrimp.
Xia Shang punched again, gathering all his anger. This punch would definitely smash Yuan An into rotten flesh!
"Junior sister, save me!"
In despair, Yuan An shouted.
A figure immediately flashed out of the boat and used several moves to force Xia Shang back from Yuan An.
"Mr. Xia, what's going on? Why do you want to kill my senior brother?"
"Get out of here!" Xia Shang was trembling all over. His eyes seemed to be cannibalistic. Just one look made Shang Rong feel cold in her heart. She thought, what kind of hatred does this require?
At this moment of pause, Shang Rongfang saw Xia Shang's limp body in his arms.
