At the east end of the long street, there was a person playing the flute.

The distance is too far, and Liu Ruiyingka cannot tell the appearance of this person, but judging from his figure, he is a woman.

In contrast, the flute in her hand was more conspicuous, about two feet long, golden, and seemed to be cast in brass.

In a blink of an eye, the atmosphere of the entire long street suddenly changed.

Although there are lively wine shops on both sides, the sound of the flute covers the craziness and boldness of drinking.

The sound of the flute contains indescribable majesty, like a golden sword and an iron horse, and is as powerful as a tiger. As the rhythm of the flute sound gradually becomes louder, so generous becomes clearer. Liu Ruiying saw the sonorousness of swords intersecting in front of him.

This song is called "Iron Horse and Glacier".

The quatrain of a sage in the Atomic Tongjin Pavilion is "The Iron Horse and the Ice River Comes into Dreams."

Liu Ruiying had heard this song, but it felt completely different from listening to it in Zhongdu City, where pavilions and towers are everywhere.

The woman was wearing a water-blue dress, but this color made the autumn in Xiajian City feel a bit of spring.

Green is closer to spring than blue.

People have been doing this for at least thousands of years.

But at this moment, taking advantage of this situation, Liu Ruiying felt that blue was more in line with spring in the dangerous city. As for why, he couldn't tell the reason.

With a "squeak", the window of the private room on the second floor of the restaurant was pushed open.

An Le, who had asked Liu Ruiying to drink before, turned his head slightly and stretched his eyes out of the window, obviously also attracted by the sound of the flute.

His gaze touched Liu Ruiying slightly, and then he smiled and nodded at him.

Liu Ruiying returned the gift politely, but his spirit was all on the girl playing the flute.

Looking from a distance, even if his face is unclear, Liu Ruiying could feel that this is a lonely person...

At the end of the song, the evening breeze suddenly blew. The woman who was playing the flute, her dress hurts with the evening breeze, and disappeared.

Liu Ruiying patted the back of her head with her hand. The feeling that happened just now was always unreal...

No matter how much you drink, people sometimes have hallucinations. Sometimes it is because of fatigue, and sometimes it is because of too much concern.

It is also because of those fatigue and thoughts that he wants to drink. After all, what he drinks is not alcohol, but he just can't face the deep feeling of fatigue and heartfelt thoughts. Even if he wakes up, he can't stand it.

Therefore, he can only rely on the strong wine to numb himself. Only under paralysis can he get a moment of rest for a long time.

Liu Ruiying knew that she was very tired, and since he entered the city of Wu, he had not had a moment of peace.

Tired is not physical, he can sleep at night. But after being troubled, his mind becomes more and more impetuous and chaotic, and he can no longer return to his previous peace.

But now is not the time to rest, he still has a place to go, or someone wants to meet him.

If you go to the right place, you will be able to meet the right people. Everyone must understand this ideal.

But sometimes it still takes a little luck and opportunity.

If the time is not right, it will be useless even if you go to the right place.

Liu Ruiying had no idea about the layout of Xiajiucheng. Fortunately, this long street was bustling, and the people in Xiajiucheng were very enthusiastic. As long as they knew, they would say everything they knew and say everything they could.

After asking two or three people, Liu Ruiying finally determined the direction she was going. After politely rejecting the help from an enthusiastic person to lead the way, she walked out of the lights alone.

"Yi Jian" told him that there was a secret door under the base of the city wall, and only the children of aristocratic families could enter and exit at night.

Going out of this secret door is an endless desert.

Within a 50-mile range, there was a buffer zone between Xiaweicheng and the barbarians in Monan. There was nothing except the people on duty and inspectors of the Ou family and the Hu family.

There are no people, no pavilions, and no lights.

If you want to see the stars, this is really the best choice.

The lights in the city are enough to cover up the stars.

Although the stars are bright, they are hanging from the sky far away and are too far away from people. If they are close enough, how could the world need lights?

When he walked to the secret door, Liu Ruiying found that there was no one guarding him here.

It must be because ordinary people know that the secret doors here are not allowed to pass through at night, so they will not come here. As for the children of aristocratic families, they will seize the time to spend their time, and will not have such leisure and elegance to see the stars.

After leaving the secret door, a powerful coldness engulfed Liu Ruiying...

It seemed like it fell into an ice hole in the middle of the winter of 28 years.

Cold and lonely, like a lantern in his heart, you finished singing and I came on stage. Starting from the soles of his feet, it gradually spread upwards, and soon swallowed his neck and throat.

"One Sword" I don't know why Liu Ruiying had a sudden idea of ​​looking at the stars.

But it was night now, and he told Liu Ruiying that during the day, dry reeds were loaded regularly in the desert every other section.

But more are the plants endemic to the desert - Halaxy and Red Willow.

Even now it is night, their slight greenness looks dazzling in this endless sea of ​​sand.

There are sand dunes of different heights in the distance, quiet and peaceful.

It looks like a girl's skin, smooth and round, golden and brilliant.

The wind carved many lifelike waves on these sand dunes. Under the shadow of the stars and moons, it was like fish scales, shining silver, and it was very spectacular.

Liu Ruiying was very happy to see it and even forgot the purpose of her coming here.

It seemed as if there were many accumulations in his dreams, and then it was like quicksand collapsed like a tide. These long-lost memories were piled up in his heart, making him feel breathless.

Liu Ruiying crushed the gravel under her feet in the quiet clearing ground, looked up at the dunes, saw the moonlight like water, and even the sound of camel bells rang in his ears.

The wind brings a corner of the desert, and the flowing sand contains the years of rotation. The bustling street market, everything is constantly evolving, splitting, and reorganizing...

This is the first time that Liu Ruiying faced the desert, but he has longed for it since he was a child.

I like its endlessness, its eternal unchanging one day, and I want to stand in the middle of the gravel and brush the body of the sand dune with my hands.

I prefer its innate free and easy life, changing at will, but no matter how it changes, it is still it, that golden beach.

"The lonely smoke in the desert is straight, and the sun sets in the long river is round", and all the white air rises from afar, and without the interference of the wind, it rises straight into the sky.

This place is different from the desolation of the northwest, and from the beauty and gentleness of the Andong King Yushan.

For some reason, Liu Ruiying stood like a sculpture, looking at the place where the sun sets in the distance, like the loneliest touch in the world, and even the years cannot be erased.

"Do you like the desert, too?"

A beautiful female voice rang in Liu Ruiying's ears.

Before he could come back to his senses, the voice continued to speak on his own.

"I like the desert because it is always so quiet, like a wise elder, watching all the changes, it can calmly accommodate all the noise and hustle and bustle, and at the same time it can accommodate all the vicissitudes. When my fingertips touched the gravel, I hope to listen to its dark and heavy thoughts. During the day, I stood on the bell tower of the city wall, watching the leisurely camel bells of the caravans, swaying, especially when welcoming the bride, the beautiful figure of the bride was even more beautiful."

She said this and suddenly stopped.

His eyes flashed and he looked at Liu Ruiying.

Liu Ruiying turned her head, but instead looked at her eyes first, she stayed on her eyelashes.

Hu Xixian's eyelashes are very long and she wants to curl. Such eyelashes are something that many people dream of...

Liu Ruiying also saw a special vendor selling something called "fire tongs" in Zhongdu City. After the women bought it, they placed it on the charcoal fire and baked it slightly, then clamped their eyelashes with a "pop" and lifted them up hard, which made the eyelashes bent and curled.

Hu Xixian obviously does not need to use such tools. God always prefers some people too much.

She easily has what others don’t have, and even feels that what she has is not the best.

Therefore, people are born to bear unfairness and want to seek the so-called fairness, which means using this statement to make up for their empty hearts.

Human desires will not stop because of fairness. Everyone wants to do the best, but the best is different in the eyes of others. Therefore, the best people only exist in their own hearts.

When she covered her face in the flying scarf, her eyes and eyelashes became more attractive.

Liu Ruiying hurriedly turned her head away and didn't dare to look at it anymore.

Moreover, it is always bad if a man stares at a girl's face in a flash. Even if this girl is a little crazy, it is bad.

“I like it, too.”

After Liu Ruiying turned her head away, she said lightly.

He did not lie, and even felt that what Hu Xixian said just now was very reasonable, almost exactly the same as what he thought.

On the gravel they were now trampling under their feet, there had been countless battles with Mo Nan. The sand stomped by the horse's hooves mixed with blood, washing all the old traces. There was only the howling wind, which seemed to carry some of the time of the past, but was also pierced by the moon and the stars.

The corner gate behind you is the origin of the desert.

In this way, Liu Ruiying and Hu Xixian are both special people, delaying the dim lights and the hustle and bustle of pavilions and towers, and wanting to personally experience the vastness and magnificence that no one in the world appreciates.

"Don't you say you won't go out tonight? Why do you still come here?"

Hu Xixian suddenly remembered something, grabbed Liu Ruiying's arm, and said in a very unpolite tone.

Liu Ruiying was speechless for a moment...

But after a second thought, I came up with perfunctory words.

"Didn't you say you want to go home, and you won't come out after that. See you tomorrow?"

After hearing this, Hu Xixian flashed her eyes and let go of her left hand that grabbed Liu Ruiying's arm.
To be continued...
