, the other side of the fairy dome
Outside the city, at a small stream.
Xiao Nanfeng took a bath in the stream, washed his body clean, and then changed into new clothes, and then walked ashore with satisfaction.
On the shore, Xiao Rouge had already been washed, put on new clothes, carved in powder and jade, extremely cute, but she used some plaster to smear her face.
"I just washed my face, why are you smearing your face?" Xiao Nanfeng was stunned.
"My sister said, let me smear my face." Xiao Rouge said.
"How old are you, who will pay attention to your face, your sister is too nervous about you." Xiao Nanfeng was stunned, and then he frowned and said: "No, maybe there is a pervert? Forget it, you can cover your face if you want to, but don't use this plaster, there are bacteria, I'll help you use plant juice and draw a few birthmarks on your face later."
Xiao Rouge thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay!"
"Go wash your face and come to eat." Xiao Nanfeng said.
Xiao Rouge immediately went to the creek to wash her face, and then came over.
"I made a lot of money by telling stories before, so many people had bad intentions, but fortunately, we ran fast. But don't worry, we changed our clothes, and no one will know us tomorrow." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Oh." Xiao Rouge responded.
"Eat, you only ate one chicken leg on the road just now, now you're hungry, let's eat." Xiao Nanfeng smiled.
He opened the food wrapped in oil paper and ate it with little rouge. Xiao Rouge was starving, eating chicken legs, beef, and roast duck, non-stop.
Xiao Nanfeng's expression was strange for a while, and he thought to himself: "This little girl, isn't it too miserable? What kind of protagonist is destiny, that's it?"
Xiao Nanfeng was not very hungry, he ate something, then looked at the little rouge in front of him and said, "How long have you been hungry?"
Xiao Rouge was almost finished, her face was slightly red, and she let go of her hand a little embarrassed.
"Eat, it's okay." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"I'm full." Xiao Rouge said.
"Little girl, what's your name?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.
Xiao Rouge didn't speak, as if she didn't dare to speak.
"Do you still want to keep this secret?" Xiao Nanfeng was stunned.
Xiao Rouge lowered her head and did not dare to respond, there was a look of resistance on her face.
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, by the way, where is your family?" Xiao Nanfeng said curiously.
When it came to her family, Xiao Rouge's nose suddenly soured, and tears slipped down like pearls, and she couldn't stop it.
"Ahhh, don't cry, I won't ask your family." Xiao Nanfeng hurriedly comforted.
Xiao Rouge wiped her tears and said: "My family is dead."
Xiao Nanfeng was silent for a while, and finally sighed slightly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it."
"No, it's okay!" Xiao Rouge wiped her tears and pretended to be strong.
"My name is ......, uh, you can call me Brother Nan." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Brother Nan?" Little Rouge frowned.
"Seeing you mixing like this, it's obvious that you don't have a golden finger, in the future, you can follow me." Xiao Nanfeng said.
Xiao Rouge didn't understand Xiao Nanfeng's words for a while, but she probably knew that Xiao Nanfeng wanted her to follow.
"You, why are you so good to me?" Little Rouge said a little uncertainly.
The tragic death of her family had made her close her heart, full of despair and indifference to the outside world, if it weren't for Xiao Nanfeng handing her a steamed bun a few days ago, she wouldn't even be willing to talk to Xiao Nanfeng.
Xiao Nanfeng's familiarity made her feel a trace of warmth in her heart, but even so, she was still full of wariness towards Xiao Nanfeng.
"Don't worry about so much, just be obedient." Xiao Nanfeng said.
This little girl is the protagonist of destiny, if you don't take her, you have nowhere to go? And it looks stupid, so you don't need to explain it too much.
Xiao Rouge pouted, a little aggrieved, but did not refute. Because these days, she has already tasted the pain of being displaced, and if it weren't for Xiao Nanfeng's appearance, she didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, Xiao Nanfeng didn't seem to have any malice, and although she was on guard, she didn't reject it.
"Is what you said about Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen true?" Little Rouge said curiously.
"Do you believe this kind of nonsense? How can there be any gods and monsters in this world? It's all a lie, you have to believe in science." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"However, my father said before that there are evil monks who cause chaos in the court, and there are even monsters eating people in some cities, there should be immortals and monsters, right?" Little Rouge said curiously.
Xiao Nanfeng was stunned: "What did you say? Are there gods and monsters in this world?"
"Yes, I've seen a person flying in the sky before." Xiao Rouge recalled.
Xiao Nanfeng set off a stormy wave in his heart, and thought to himself: "Is this a mythical world? Can you practice longevity here? Is there really an immortal? Great, I want to learn the immortal immortal art of immortality, maybe one day I can travel back to earth and go back with the art of immortality."
"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly laugh alone?" Little Rouge said curiously.
"It's nothing, I thought of something happy." Xiao Nanfeng said with excitement.
Xiao Rouge looked strange and thought to herself: "This Brother Nan, won't there be any problems with his head?"
"There is a ruined temple in front of us, rest for one night, and then we will enter the city tomorrow, and then find an opportunity to earn the third pot of gold." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"You still want to tell the story of the White Lady?" Little Rouge said curiously.
"How is that possible? Before, it was just a stopgap measure, and I used money urgently to tell stories, otherwise, I wouldn't have told stories." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Then how do you make that third pot of gold?" Xiao Rouge didn't understand.
"Didn't you see it? This world is full of gold, and there are opportunities everywhere, making money? Isn't it enough to have hands?" Xiao Nanfeng said.
Xiao Rouge curled her lips and said, "Bragging."
"You are a little girl, what do you know?" Xiao Nanfeng didn't want to explain more.
He took Xiao Rouge to the ruined temple not far away, cleaned it briefly, and then rested.
At night, Xiao Nanfeng was awakened by a faint sob in his sleep, and he rubbed his eyes and looked around.
The moonlight shone through the hole at the top of the ruined temple, but the little rouge was gone.
He was shocked, Xiao Rouge was gone? So how will he face this world in the future? He hurriedly got up and searched.
But I saw a lonely figure outside the ruined temple, sitting on the steps with his legs crossed and sobbing softly.
It is midsummer at this moment, the evening breeze is gentle, quiet and peaceful, and fireflies are flying outside.
He walked behind Xiao Rouge and heard Xiao Rouge sobbing while whispering "Sister, I miss you so much", he knew that this little girl missed her family.
He sat on the steps with Xiao Rouge, and after a while, after Xiao Rouge cried, he suddenly found a person sitting next to him.
"Brother Nan? Did I wake you up?" Xiao Rouge suddenly said guilty.
Xiao Nanfeng handed over a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it."
Taking Xiao Nanfeng's handkerchief, Xiao Rouge turned her back to wipe her tears, not wanting Xiao Nanfeng to see her crying.
Xiao Nanfeng knew that Xiao Rouge was missing his family, he knew that Xiao Rouge didn't want to mention his family, so he didn't ask, he just looked at this poor little Rouge, and didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
Xiao Rouge didn't know what to say, and was a little at a loss for a while.
"Can I sing you a song? I hope you are in a better mood." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Huh?" Xiao Rouge was surprised for a while.
"The song is called "Cherry Blossom Grass", and it is a song from my hometown." Xiao Nanfeng said.
Little Rouge showed a curious look.
"The evening breeze blows the bamboo forest, the elongated figures of the moonlight, fireflies, twinkles, and coins flying all over the mountains."
……
"The cherry blossoms in the hands of lovers, when I hear my heart beating in my chest, secretly, I miss you, that is the taste of our love."
……
Xiao Nanfeng's singing slowly stopped.
Xiao Rouge stared at Xiao Nanfeng with wide eyes, she looked at Brother Nan who suddenly appeared in front of him incredulously, why does Brother Nan know everything? This song is so good.
"Do you feel better?" Xiao Nanfeng asked.
Xiao Rouge felt less sad before, nodded, and then said: "Can you sing it again? I want to learn."
"Yes." Xiao Nanfeng didn't care either.
When he was on Earth, he often went to KTV and sang a song, which was nothing. The little girl in front of him was so pitiful, he didn't mind singing it again.
After singing the cherry blossom grass again, Xiao Rouge actually learned it.
"Okay, go to bed early, and I'll go to the city tomorrow." Xiao Nanfeng said.
"Hmm!" Little Rouge nodded.
The two returned to the ruined temple, one slept on one side of the ruined temple, and Xiao Nanfeng fell asleep quickly.
Xiao Rouge was sleeping on the other side, she opened her eyes and looked at her palm, which was holding the handkerchief that Xiao Nanfeng had just wiped her tears, and she took the handkerchief into her arms. She quietly looked at Xiao Nanfeng, who was asleep not far away. At this moment, the panic these days seemed to have become peaceful.
Although Xiao Rouge looks young, for some reason, her emotions are richer and more mature than those of children of this age.
She was on guard against everyone, and it was impossible to follow anyone. However, when she was most helpless that day, a steamed bun squeezed into her heart with Xiao Nanfeng.
Before, she saw Xiao Nanfeng's nervousness when facing a few beggars, but Xiao Nanfeng endured the discomfort, like a god descending to earth, and helped her drive away those beggars. Later, there were street performances and roll runs.
For some reason, although she was still wary of everyone in her heart, she had a trace of trust in Xiao Nanfeng.
"Dad, mother, brother, sister, did you send Brother Nan to accompany me?" Xiao Rouge's eyes were slightly red, and she was talking to herself.
A tear slipped through the corner of her eye, but a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she fell asleep deeply.
Outside the ruined temple, the evening breeze was gentle, insects were chirping and frogs were chirping, and fireflies were flying, there was no fear and uneasiness in her dreams, as if she had returned to her previous happy home, surrounded by the teachings of her parents, the laughter of her brother and sister, and the song "Cherry Blossom Grass" sung by someone for her.
