Lao Tzu said

Chapter 6

The empty smoke floats and floats, the flying flowers wither and wither, the wooden boat row and row, the green water is clear and clear...

Bai Keqing climbed up the vermilion palace wall with a small cloth bag on his back.

The palace wall is not high, only half the size of an old tree, standing on it overlooking the palace, the wind blows through the corner of the clothes, very cool.

Bai Ke grabbed the small cloth bag tightly, turned over and jumped off, and the dust on the ground flew into the air.

The palace maid by the roadside carried an octagonal palace lantern and walked past Bai Keqing.

The orange palace lanterns were very dazzling under the palace wall, the maids didn't look up at Bai Keqing, but just carried the palace lanterns, lowered their heads, and followed behind the nanny.

Nanny should have stayed in the palace for several years, her white hair was tied on her head, which was very eye-catching, and the old palace clothes were worn out a lot.

The nanny quickened her pace and took the little maid out of Bai Keqing's sight.

The road paved with stone bricks is very flat, the old trees outside the palace wall block the sky above, and the moonlight shines on the stone slabs through the sparse leaves, which is cool.

Bai Keqing walked forward along the avenue.

The little eunuch on patrol walked forward with small steps, holding a white-haired whisk.

Three or two guards sneakily took out pieces of silver from their pockets, and discussed something with the little maid who was about to leave the palace. It seems that she wanted the little palace lady to bring two jugs of wine when she left the palace...

The old tree outside the palace wall accompanied Bai Keqing to the Prince's Palace.

The Prince's Hall is deserted and deserted, usually there are not many little maids and eunuchs passing by.

But even if someone passed by, no one would know that this is the Prince's Hall.Because the Prince's Palace in front of Bai Keqing is not only deserted, but also dilapidated.

There were a few big holes in the roof, and those big holes were full of spider webs, and there were many mosquitoes wrapped in spider webs.

Mosquitoes were flying on the roof, which was almost pressed by straw, and the straw was so long that it could extend to the wooden window, which was covered with moss.

Moss covered the wooden windows. The wooden windows were the kind of oil-paper windows that would break if poked.

The door is the same, the wooden door is extremely broken, the wooden door is just two wooden boards and an iron lock.

The lock is very old, it will fall off when you pull it, and it is full of rust.

The function of the lock is to lock the broken door covered with oil paper.

Bai Keqing glanced around, walked up the wooden steps, pulled down the iron lock in front of the door, pushed the door open, and walked into the room.

After Bai Keqing walked into the door, dust flew towards him all over the sky, Bai Keqing turned to look outside the door, and closed the door.

"Snoring~hulu~" The sound comparable to thunder hovered in the air.

After watching for a while, Bai Ke came to the dilapidated wooden bed and lifted a corner of the overjoyed quilt that was mostly bitten by insects.

There is a man under the quilt, who sleeps like a dead pig and purrs louder than a trumpet.

Bai Ke said, "It's raining in Donghu?"

The little prince turned over and tugged at the Daxi quilt.

Bai Ke then lifted the quilt again: "Dongluyu?"

The little prince stretched out his legs and kicked in the air.

Bai Keqing: "Donglu rain?"

The little prince scratched his ass.

Bai Keqing took out the meat wrapped in oil paper from his pocket: "Dong Luyu, if I..."

The little prince sniffed, hugged Bai Keqing, smelled the fragrance of flowers on Bai Keqing's body, and opened his eyes: "Then...then..."

Bai Ke took several steps back: "Then what?"

The little prince looked at the handsome boy in front of him, let go of his hand, and pushed him away: "No...it's nothing, go...out the palace."

The two borrowed two palace lanterns from the court lady, walked on the road paved with stone bricks, watched the moonlight on the ground, and felt the cool wind.

The two passed by a little eunuch holding a dust whisk, a little palace lady carrying a palace lantern, a little guard holding a knife handle, and a noble lady in an official sedan chair...

The little prince chewed the meat in the oiled paper bag, looked at Bai Keqing: "He...why they...don't...don't stop us?"

Bai Keqing: "Maybe they are adults."

Bai Keqing pulled the dead branches growing outside the palace wall and climbed up.

Seeing the court lady approaching by the road, the little prince was a little flustered: "Don't... don't leave me behind! There... someone is coming...!"

After Bai Keqing climbed up the palace wall, he stretched out his hand to grab the little prince.

The little prince's hands were greasy, and the hands were covered with oil, oil from oily paper.

When the little prince held Bai Keqing's hand, the little prince's heart skipped a beat.

That was Dong Luyu's first contact with Bai Keqing, and Bai Keqing let go on the spot.

The little prince fell down, and the dust on the ground flew into the air again.

Seeing the little maid getting closer, the little prince was afraid and angry: "You...you!"

Bai Ke tilted his head, broke off the dead branch, and handed it over: "Well, I'm sorry... I don't like to touch anyone."

Indeed, Bai Keqing has had little contact with anyone so far.

The little prince kicked the palace wall a few times angrily, then turned his head to take a look, and found that the maid was getting closer, so he grabbed the dead branch and climbed up.

As the cool wind blew, Bai Keqing's tulle scarf fluttered.

The first thing the little prince did when he climbed up was to jump on Bai Keqing.

As soon as he let go of his hands and kicked his legs, the little prince rushed over.

Seeing the little prince rushing towards him, Bai Ke was a little stunned.

……

Under the moonlight, the good-looking boy was crushed under him, and the little prince felt...a sense of guilt for no reason.

The water-colored tulle scarf tied around the neck was torn at one corner.

Bai Keqing looked at the torn scarf and was stunned.

The little prince looked at the small piece of water-colored tulle in his hand, and was a little panicked: "Should...or, I...I will compensate you?"

Bai Keqing: "..."

The little prince: "The palace...the palace should have thin...gauze, water...water color or...maybe not, and...other colors instead, but...is it okay?"

Bai Keqing: "..."

The little prince looked at Bai Ke and was completely panicked: "I... I... I... I will make up for it..."

Bai Keqing: "..."

The little prince looked at a small piece of tulle in his hand, very flustered: "Bai...you...you...wouldn't..."

"It's torn up," the little prince raised his head, and Bai Ke acted as if he had met him for the first time, "Actually, I'll mend it." He smiled cleanly.

The memory of the first encounter was burned away by a fire again.

Mo Guoke and Bai Ke are out of flames.

This was also Mo Guoke's first contact with Bai Keqing, Mo Guoke's heart beat faster, Bai Keqing obviously didn't like being touched by others.

It was getting late, and the stars were brought out by the thin clouds one by one.

The two had no place to live, the smoke in the bamboo forest lingered for a long time, and the cool wind blew again and again.

Mo Guoke pulled out the jug and the black silver from the pile of debris: "You don't have to worry, we can go to the inn to rest for the night..."

"Oh..." Bai Ke sat on the big rock beside him and looked at Mo Guoke, as if he was waiting for Mo Guoke to explain something.

Mo Guo was flustered for a while when he was watched, he took a few steps forward, and walked up to Bai Keqing: "Little Master Bai, if you look at me like this, if someone else passes by, they will think you are in love with me..."

Bai Keqing: "Oh, then I like you, isn't it something unreasonable..."

Mo Guoke inexplicably felt his ears turn red: "Really? Young Master Bai, are you so obsessed with me?"

Bai Ke leaned on the bamboo, tilted his head, looked at the stars in the sky: "Well, Mr. Mo, you seem to know me very well..."

Mo Guoke was a little stunned: "You really like me?"

Bai Keqing: "Mr. Mo seems to like to guess other people's thoughts."

Mo Guoke: "Really?"

Bai Ke quickly picked up a bamboo leaf, and the tulle scarf fluttered around his neck: "Well...it's a pity, but you are a man."

Mo Guoji was woken up by Bai Keqing's words, he was stunned again and again: "What's wrong with men?"

Bai Ke smiled: "Okay, if Mr. Mo doesn't mind, I won't mind either."

Mo Guoke: "Really?"

Bai Ke let go of his hand, and the bamboo leaves floated into the wind: "But others will mind."

Mo Guoke: "..."

Mo Guoke: "Do you mind if others mind?"

Bai Keqing: "I don't mind other people minding."

Mo Guoke: "Then..."

Bai Keqing: "But I don't mind if others mind."

Mo Guoke: "..."

Bai Ke stood up immediately, and looked at the setting sun: "Well... Mr. Mo seems to like me very much."

Mo Guoke: "Yeah, maybe I like it."

"Oh... I will also like you, Mr. Mo."

After Mo Guo had a moment to react, Bai Ke had already left the bamboo forest.

Capital night.

Every household lit up lights, and the streets were bustling.

When the suona sounded, someone's sedan chair was lifted up, and the welcoming team walked along the way.

The red sedan chair is carried, the suona, gongs and drums are ringing, the concubine is married, and the gold, silver and treasure are guarded.It was so lively.

Mo Guoke was sitting on the eaves, holding a jug, drinking tea, looking at the people welcoming relatives on the road, looking at the sky depressed.

Under the eaves, there was a window open, and there was a man in front of the window. The man was looking at the stars in the sky, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Mo Guoke put down the jug, turned over, and turned to the window: "It's so leisurely, why don't we go and have a look?"

Looking at the person close at hand, Bai Ke took a few steps back: "Oh... that's right."

Before the welcoming team had gone far, the two left the inn and came to the street.

The street is crowded, but very lively.

Bai Ke looked at the crowd, and hid and hid, but he still couldn't avoid being taken advantage of.

No way, Bai Keqing is so good-looking, girls and boys all want to eat tofu.

Mo Guoke bought an umbrella from the side of the road.

As soon as the umbrella was held up, all the salty pig hands were blocked from the umbrella.

Looking at the bamboo umbrella in front of him, Bai Ke said: "..."

His self-esteem is strong, and he would rather he be the one protecting others than the one being protected.That makes him look so weak.

But that incident in childhood left a great shadow on him.

Once touched by someone, the alarm is raised in the heart.

Back then, the little prince touched him, hugged him, and lay on him again...he had nightmares for more than half a month.In addition, a corner of his tulle scarf was torn, and during the first half month, Bai Ke fell asleep and woke up again, feeling dizzy after waking up... Counting it, there must have been a hundred nightmares.

Originally, I was afraid of facing my childhood, but that nightmare seemed to focus on the picture, replaying scenes one after another, remembering it over and over again...

Can't forget...can't forget...he can't forget...that was his worst memory, that was his worst experience.

He wanted to forget, but there was nothing he could do...
