Chapter Twelve: The Girl Ahu

Qingzhou, Dongyi Mountain, the mountains are undulating under the moon.

In a beautiful and elegant courtyard, the wind chimes in front of the door swayed and ethereal, the curtains in the room were flying, and the room was quiet.

Under the lamp, a sandalwood candle was lit, and the smoke drifted away, and the faint fragrance was refreshing. The fragrance had a hint of clear smell, and the coldness of early winter made people feel like they were in a clear mountain stream, with thin ice, snow falling silently, the wind in the fields was whistling, the sky and the earth were white, clean and lonely.

A scholar in white was sitting in front of the table, like a fairy in the snow, handsome, leaning over the vast sleeves, and outstandingly graceful. Especially his dark eyes, it seemed like he crushed the stars and moons in the sky, and put them in it, so beautiful that it was incomparable.

But his man was drunk, one hand lazily supporting his head, the other hand was drunk and holding a pen, like flowing clouds and water on the snow-white paper, writing poems and essays. After writing one, one floated out, and the ground was covered with pieces of paper.

The words on the paper are as handsome as others, but also as others, all cold, just like walking in an empty valley, walking alone, the snow is flying in the sky and the earth is slim and there is no way ahead.

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

Since he returned to the courtyard after attending the "Flower God Festival", he locked himself in the room, lit sandalwood candles, and while drinking, he began to lift his pen to write various poems.

She grinds the ink for him next to him, and glances at the poems with sharp eyes, all of which were sad and sad. Every word was hurt.

Somehow, her heart also felt uneasy.

Finally, when the white and slender hand was about to pick up the wine pot again, she could no longer hold it back and held it down, and said in a scattered manner: "Master, you can't drink anymore, your body will not be able to bear it."

The white dress was stunned and turned his head, as if he had just remembered that there was someone in the room. He curled the corners of his lips slightly, brought out a few traces of mad bandit spirit, and instantly turned back to the "Dongyi Mountain Lord" that Wen Renjun was familiar with.

"Don't you advise me to drink more, and you can escape when I'm drunk and unconscious?"

Wen Renjun's heart trembled when he was staring at those too beautiful eyes. It's no wonder that since ancient times, people have been saying that beauty is confusing and disasters are stunning. If you don't pay attention, you will destroy a country. It makes sense.

Calm and calm, she couldn't tell the truth. She forced herself to press her mind. She still held the wine pot and smiled: "King, don't think of me too stupid. If you can escape like this, then you are not worthy of being this "Dongyishan Lord", commanding the eighteen bandit camps, and being loved by the people of Qingzhou..."

These tall hats were worn, and the white clothes were burping, showing a funny expression.

He waved his hand and signaled Wen Renjun to approach her. As his breath burst out, he pinched her face unexpectedly: "Little monkey, I found that you are not stupid, you are cowardly, you are so timid that you are so disgusting. Aren't you afraid that I will vomit you all over the wine?"

Wen Renjun's face was so hot that he quickly broke free and said hurriedly: "It's really not, it's really not, I admire the boss from the bottom of my heart!"

Actually, she was right. Even if she got Dongyi Shanjun drunk, she couldn't escape. First, she didn't know where the courtyard was, and second, even if she left the courtyard, she could not break through the big bandit village outside, let alone when she went up and down the mountain, she was blinded and didn't know the route there. Where could a person escape?

But, Dongyi Shanjun was not wrong. Her truth was indeed mixed with some small thoughts and flattered her. After all, her whole life was held in someone's hands. A real man could bend and stretch. What's the point of her flattering?

Thinking of this, Wen Renjun's eyes became more sincere: "Boss, you really don't drink anymore. It's too late at night. Drinking alcohol will hurt your body."

The white clothes looked at her a few times, and suddenly smiled. He stopped asking for wine, but continued to bury his head. While he was writing ink, he only wrote two words in this time.

"Ahu".

Wen Renjun leaned over and said curiously, not knowing why, two more words were written next to the white clothes—

"Luo Heng".

As if he saw the question in Wen Renjun's eyes, the scholar in white turned his head and smiled: "The night is long, why not tell you a story?"

When he saw this, Wen Renjun's heart was fluttering again, and there was only one thought in his mind. The king must not smile at her like this anymore. She really couldn't control it.

The night wind is rustling, the moonlight shines into the window frame, and the sandalwood candles are swaying cold smoke.

It's a story, but it's actually a bit like a play in a teahouse. It starts with an ordinary beginning, but because of the clear and nice voice, Wen Renjun was quickly immersed in it.

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

After he stayed in the inn, he had time to read the books for a day, and carried the book basket and took the little monkey around the imperial city.

Among them, the most interesting thing about him was the famous Zhuxiu Academy. It was built with the palace. The doors were elegant and grand. Everyone was a powerful child. They were tied with jade plaques on their waists, with their heads raised and their chests raised. They were of extraordinary temperament. Ordinary people felt that they were extremely noble when they looked at them.

Luo Heng was a scholar. Seeing that the holy place in his heart was so itchy, he avoided the guards, and quietly walked around the back of Zhuxiu Academy, approaching the secluded wall, wanting to hear the sound of the book inside.

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

Luo Heng was excited, carrying a book basket on his back, and before he could go up to listen, a sudden movement came from the courtyard wall. When he looked up, he jumped down from the wall with a white shadow against the light.

Before he could react, the little monkey in his bookcase had already emerged, and his two furry arms caught the little thing, grinning and laughing.

Luo Heng saw clearly that it turned out that the snow-white fox fell from the sky. When he was surprised, there was another movement on the courtyard wall. He looked up again, beloved, and now he was even more surprised. The one with his head was also a white shadow against the light, but it was much bigger than the little fox, because it was a person-

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

As soon as she saw Luo Heng, she was stunned, as if she didn't expect that someone was standing outside the remote courtyard wall. Perhaps she was caught "skipping class". She was a little panicked and couldn't hold on with her hands, and she was about to fall from the wall.

When he was talking, Luo Heng stepped forward, stretched out his arms, and warm and soft jade hugged him.

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

He looked at the girl in his arms, and his water-cut apricot eyes widened at him, reflecting his slightly helpless look. He was a little dazed and felt like he had fallen into an unreal dream.

After getting drunk, I don’t know that the sky is in the water, and the boat is full of clear dreams and the galaxy is pressing down on the sky.

The little monkey stretched out his hand, held it steadily, and hugged the little white fox falling from the sky.

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

Pure, beautiful, fairy-like girl.

After the girl reacted, she broke free from his arms, and she didn't see much shame. She just covered her mouth and chuckled: "Why, are you stupid by me?"

She carried her snow fox back from the little monkey's hand and looked at him with a smile. Her voice was crisp and like a clear spring in the mountains, without any hesitation: "Thank you and your little monkey for taking action for justice and saving us one by one and one fox. How about I invite you to eat the immortal fruit?"

As she said that, she actually grabbed his hand and led him into the wind in the fields without saying a word. The corners of her skirt flew, and laughter flew into the sky, floating clouds, and pulsating in the sunset.

Later, many years later, Luo Heng could still clearly remember the wind that day, the clouds that day, the golden sunset that day, and the endless fragrance coming from the ends of her hair.

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

Yes, the so-called "fairy fruit" actually grows on the back mountain of the academy. It is a kind of clear and sweet snow-white wild fruit, hidden in a rare place. It is very quiet on weekdays. There are clear streams and dense ancient trees. When you push away the grass, you can see the sky light, just like a small "paradise".

Luo Heng was surprised that she would share this little world with him, but the beautiful girl holding the white fox smiled playfully: "I see you have a good relationship, I will bring you as much as you want. 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 go into it, it is probably because... you are handsome, I look happy."

Luo Heng wiped the wild fruit clean and put it in his mouth. He almost coughed up when he heard the sound. The girl smiled so hard that her eyebrows were even more bent: "We searched all the classes of Xuanhuang in our academy. I'm afraid we can't find such a beautiful 'little beauty'. Why can't I bring you here? The beauty is so suitable for the beautiful scenery, what do you think?"

The "little beauty" finally made Luo Heng spurt it out successfully. After a while of rushing, he blushed slightly and said to the girl in front of him: "I am a man, not a beauty, you are a beauty."

The setting sun sets in the west, the wind swept across the fields, and the mountains and forests are so gentle.

The girl widened her eyes, looked at him for a while, then suddenly stepped forward and raised his chin: "Beauty, do we have to praise each other shamelessly?"

The two of them stared at each other for a long time, but they finally couldn't hold back and laughed together.

The memories of that day were buried deep in Luo Heng's heart, and they always had a soft yellowing luster. The wind was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees in the early spring.

When he parted, he told the girl his name. After saying that, he looked at the jade plaque of Gong Xue on the girl's waist, obviously hoping that she would tell her the same thing, but the pretty white dress took off the jade plaque and shook quickly in front of his eyes, smiling like a little fox:

"Do you want to know my name? I won't tell you, guess?"

She tilted her head and her eyelashes flashed, and she was full of interest: "How about we play a game? If you guess my last name, I will tell you my full name and help you realize your wish. How about it?"

Luo Heng naturally would not refuse this "game". After he went back, he began to think about it and do his homework.

The girl was born in a palace school and her family must be either rich or noble. She is bright and bold, and she dares to skip classes. She is not afraid of being expelled from the academy. She also said that she could easily help him realize his wish, so it must be not just "rich", but "expensive", not ordinary "expensive". He guessed that she must be from which official lady, and her father and brother's rank would only be high, not low.

With such a direction, it became much clearer to find out. The next morning, Luo Heng carried a book basket and took the little monkey to the bustling teahouses and restaurants in the city. He was close to the same waiter and asked about the situation of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the city.

At dusk, he had already made some measurements in his mind, and quietly walked around 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 garden". He could hardly wait to tell her his answer, but underestimated the cunning of the "fox girl". She stretched out a finger and shook it proudly: "Once, I can only guess once a day!"

"This..." Luo Heng was stuck in his voice for a long time before he took a gamble and picked the one he thought was closest to: "The daughter of General Yang, Yang Tieshan, isn't it?"

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

"No, no, no, just..." Luo Heng knew that he was wrong and smiled embarrassedly: "You are very straightforward and bold, unlike other young ladies in the boudoir, I thought you were the daughter of the general."

"You don't know this, I can pretend." The girl in white hooked her fingers and signaled Luo Heng to approach, "Tell you a secret. Actually, I am the same as the ladies you mentioned in the academy, and even more obedient and serious than them, but it's different. This is my own territory, and I can do whatever I want. I don't have to care about so many pairs of annoying eyes, and I don't have to be watched by others. Here, there is only me and my little fox, who are free and unrestrained, so comfortable."

"Of course, there is another one you, so you are not allowed to speak out, do you hear it?"

The girl's long eyelashes flashed, her eyes were cunning and agile, and her slender tail fingers were stretched out, as if she wanted to hook up with someone. Luo Heng's breathing was suffocating, and his heartbeated. After a while, he hooked the white little finger: "It must be, gentleman Yifu, I won't tell anyone."

In this way, the two young girls began to meet quietly. In the paradise where no one disturbed, they picked fruits and caught fish, covered the sky and the earth, and sounded flutes under the tree, discussing poetry and essays with each other, and living a carefree life.

Luo Heng guessed the girl's surname once a day, but he never guessed it right. He always regarded her as a "fox girl" and called her "Ahu".

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

At first, Luo Heng didn't know what to say until he glanced inadvertently and saw the little white fox and the little monkey playing by the stream. He flashed his mind: "Look, we have foxes, monkeys, and 'camels' here. All kinds of beasts gathered together. How about the story of "Shan Hai Jing"?"

Sandalwood candles are swaying in the smoke, the curtains in the house are flying, and the moonlight is pouring all over the ground. When Wenrenjun heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and something echoed in his ears-

"I have told people the "Shan Hai Jing" in the past, but it is much better than you. You read the script entirely and have a good memory, but what is an interesting story? It is said to girls, of course it must be more interesting... At that time, I was afraid that she would not understand, so I drew pictures and explained to her one by one. The wind in early spring was still very cold. She put on my clothes and the petals fell on her head. I couldn't tell for a moment whether the flowers were more beautiful or she was more beautiful..."

As early as when Dongyi Mountain Lord started to tell the story, Wen Renjun had already guessed something, and at this moment she was even more confident. She couldn't help but pursed her lips: "Master, Luo Heng must have told Ah Hu the "Shan Hai Jing" that he had been talking to Ah Hu for many days. Does Ah Hu like to listen?"

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

A trace of curve was slightly curled up, but his smile was cold, and it was cold: "I like them until they have been in love over time, and they made a lifelong life in the mountains, and agreed with each other. After the spring exam, Luo Heng took the lead and came to marry Ahu, and never separate forever."

Wen Renjun couldn't help but lean closer when he heard the rise: "What about it later? Did Luo Heng pass the top scorer?"

The scholar in white narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he smiled lightly. After a long time, he reached out to pluck the candlelight, "No more afterwards."

Wen Renjun was stunned: "What?"
