Chapter 162 Exquisite Thoughts
Hu Wen completely lost any sleepiness.
He really didn’t expect that Ning Wei would actually run into Zuo Chen’s lotus!
Hu Wen compared the size and found that if Ning Wei from the dream was pulled out, he would probably be about the same height as this little Ning Wei.
He looked at Zuo Chen with strange eyes.
"This is not Ning Wei's three souls and seven souls." Zuo Chen coughed lightly and explained: "This is an idea of his. It may last for one day, or three days for as long as it lasts."
After hearing After Zuo Chen said this, Hu Wen lowered his head and looked at Ning Wei among the lotus flowers.
Indeed, Lotus' Ning Wei doesn't look very smart, his movements are slow, his reactions are not quick, and he doesn't even speak very fluently.
Seemingly feeling Hu Wen’s gaze, Ning Wei raised his head and asked a little doubtfully:
“Xiao Hu, is what the Taoist said true?”
"Ah?" Hu Wen's words were stuck in his throat.
He didn't know what he would think if he knew that he was not Ning Wei and would disappear in just a few days.
Hu Wen's silence turned into an answer. Xiao Ningwei was silent for a while, and suddenly showed a relieved smile:
"Xiao Hu, don't worry, the body is the body, Thoughts are thoughts, I can still tell this clearly."
Hearing Ning Wei comfort himself, Hu Wen felt a fever on his face.
"However, since Ning Wei will be taken out of his mind..." Zuo Chen changed his mind: "I'm afraid there is something on his mind."
"How can I say this?" Hu Wen asked doubtfully.
"He was not the only one wrapped in lotus at that time, but he was the only one who had the idea. In other words, he had the deepest obsession, and this obsession was temporarily treated as a little person's The form was printed on the lotus."
Hu Wen suddenly realized, then he half-bent down and looked at Ning Wei in the lotus:
"Brother Ning, do you have something to do? ”
"Things? What can I do? Drink? Eat meat? Find more beautiful sisters?" Ning Wei fell into thinking. He seemed to think about it for a long time before he said hesitantly:
< br>"Protecting the family and the country?"
"That's not it." Hu Wen laughed dumbly, "Is there anything else? Do you need my help?"
Ning Wei I thought with my head in my hands, but it seemed that I couldn't give Hu Wen an answer for the time being.
“The thinking of thoughts is different from that of normal people. Moreover, even if it is a real person, if you ask him to think about it randomly, he will most likely not be able to figure out what his obsession is.”
Zuo Chen turned the lotus over and took it into his arms, but left little Ning Wei behind and handed it to Hu Wen:
"Anyway, we have to go to Xilian Station and ask Ning Wei in person. "
Hu Wen nodded and lifted Ning Wei onto his shoulders.
It is estimated that Hu Ni will have to temporarily succumb to Hu Wen's arms tomorrow.
After chatting with Zuo Chen for a few more words, Hu Wen really couldn't sleep and was afraid of delaying his schedule tomorrow, so he simply found a place on the deck to close his eyes and rest, with Ning Wei's residual thoughts sitting on his shoulders. Go up and look at the stars in the sky without saying a word.
Zuo Chen silently walked to the side of the boat and looked north in the distance.
In fact, he didn’t tell Hu Wen something.
When the dream was blown away just now, Zuo Chen could clearly feel a resistance coming from the north.
Obviously, this flying remnant dream is not the core of the whole dream, but just fragments.
Obviously, I am afraid that something in the north is playing with people's thoughts at night, weaving a huge dream web.
And...
If Zuo Chen feels it right,
the dream network in the north seems to have something to do with the unclear and vague tune floating in the sky in Youzhou. .
......
Hu Wen leaned on the boat, turned twice to the left, twice to the right, closed his eyes and opened them again, stared at the sky for a while and then closed them again.
Hu Ni next to him was so noisy that he couldn't sleep, so she got up, walked to the side with small steps, curled herself up into a circle, and fell asleep again.
Ning Wei, who was squatting on Hu Wen's shoulder, smiled:
"Brother Hu, I can't sleep."
"I really can't sleep." Hu Wen opened his eyes and glanced at Ning Wei: "Brother Ning, how do you feel now?"
"Feeling? It's like you've been sitting in a restaurant drinking good wine for three days, and your head is dizzy. , I don’t know if I can bring back this precious memory after returning to my true form." Ning Wei touched his chin and pondered.
"I don't drink alcohol, so I don't know what it feels like."
"You kid, you don't have any hobbies at all. No wonder I suppress you like this." Ning Wei rolled his eyes at him.
Hu Wen sighed longly: "Too many things have happened recently. I can't contact the northern fortress, and Xiao Huanxi is wandering around in Youzhou. It feels like I just went to Xuzhou, and when I come back, the whole Youzhou has changed."
"You are too young." Ning Wei looked at Hu Wen twice and smiled:
"You know I am young. How chaotic it was in Youzhou back then!”
"Huh?"
Hu Wen was slightly startled.
It has only been twenty years since he opened his eyes. If Ning Wei counts his age, he should be almost forty.
When he was young... Hu Wen might not have been born yet.
"It sounds like there was a war during that time..."
"Hey, of course it was a war." Ning Wei said: "I was only fourteen years old at that time. By chance, I happened to catch up with the old emperor who was mad. What a mess in the world! Not only the feudal lords from all over the country, but also the cavalrymen in Kyoto began to run around. Some turned into bandits and followed the emperor's orders to kill people everywhere. Some even simply turned into madmen. There is no way to communicate. I don’t know what kind of evil skills I have practiced. The more I fight, the stronger I am!” Officials from Kyoto also did not accept civilians from Kyoto. That year, the evil thing from the Black Water attacked the fortress, and King Wei didn't have time to pass through the Youzhou Pass. Good guy! Those bastards seemed to have smelled it. The smell of meat has spread all over Youzhou!”
Listening to Ning Wei’s words, those days also appeared in Hu Wen’s mind.
At that time, his uncle had not yet found Liu Xian, so he relied entirely on his own soldiers.
King Zhenbei's cavalry is strong, and the imperial army that has turned into bandits in Kyoto is also strong. The fight between the two sides should be a river of blood.
“My family was on the border between the two places back then. As soon as the bandits from Kyoto came over, they slaughtered my family. Those beasts raised by dogs didn’t even have a younger sister. Let it go. If I hadn’t run so fast and encountered King Wei’s team, Xiao Hu, you wouldn’t be able to see me now.”
Ning Wei said this! The atmosphere was like a joke told while drinking at the wine table. However, when these words reached Hu Wen's ears, he felt his heart aching.
"Brother Ning..."
"What's your expression, kid?" Ning Wei laughed and scolded him: "How many years have it been? It's a good thing to be able to survive at that juncture. ! I think my family has spirits in heaven and is willing to see me live.”
"Among so many people I have seen, there are few who live as open-minded as Brother Ning."
"Those people are all deluded and have obstacles in their hearts, so they are easily trapped in the past." Ning Wei said: "You, too, have experienced too few things. You must know that I was really fighting with King Wei step by step. After going to Youzhou, the old emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore and died. King Wei invited Liu Xian to come out and suppressed the evil creatures in the Black Sea. Only then was he free to deal with the thieves, and those thieves no longer had any ability to resist. .”
“I don’t know about this.”
Hu Wen smiled bitterly.
“How old are you today?”
"Exactly twenty."
"Let me count the days." Ning Wei calculated for a while: "It has been more than twenty years since this battle was fought. You kid is lucky, you just happened to catch up. Good day. This time I have given you a lot of experience. You must know that the important task of protecting Youzhou will fall on you young people. There are not people like Taoist priests everywhere in the world. , you have to work harder and grow more."
"Brother Ning, you are still the same as before, nagging."
"I speak from the heart. What do you mean by nagging?”
I have to say that after hearing Ning Wei’s comfort, Hu Wen felt much relieved.
Ning Wei has been like this since a long time ago.
He doesn't know a few Chinese characters, and it's rare for him to be able to write his own name, but he has a clever mouth, no matter who he is, he can talk to the sky, talk eloquently, and talk well. Going to the mountains means you are popular and have a good heart.
When I was teaching Hu Wen, I used to praise him in different ways, which made the originally naughty brat step by step become the walking boy I am now.
Hu Wen is very grateful to Ning Wei.
My mood felt better, sleepiness swept over me, and Hu Wen slowly closed his eyes.
The moon is bright in the sky, with few clouds and many stars.
I have fallen asleep, but there are no more dreams.
......
The north of Youzhou is quiet and peaceful at night, like a calm lake without any ripples.
The river connected to Shangbao City is called "Donglai", which means the long rolling river from the east. At the end of the river is a large lake. There is a sluice next to the lake to block possible torrents. , and secondly, when a ship goes north along the river, the strongmen in the lock will help unload the cargo, allowing the ship to circle around the lake and then follow the river back to Shangbao City.
It was getting dark now, and the staff at the sluice were all yawning.
The north has not been very peaceful recently. There have been no ships here for several days.
A gentleman in charge of bookkeeping finished checking the latest account books, stood up, came to the window, and looked at the bright moon on the lake.
It is like a treasure in the lake, waiting for someone to fish for the moon in the water.
Suddenly, a person seemed to appear next to the river. The accountant stretched out his hand to rub his eyes and looked over there carefully. However, he was too far away and could not see clearly. He could only barely see. The man who came out had no hair.
"Dingle bells."
The sound of bells rang from mid-air, and a layer of thick fog suddenly appeared on the lake, covering it in all directions.
The accountant panicked and quickly closed the window.
After the window was closed, the fog was also blocked out.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he was safe.
"Huh? What happened outside?"
As if he heard other people's questions, the accountant turned around and looked behind him: "It's nothing, it's just that fog suddenly appeared on the lake."
He smiled and said to the powerful men who were sleeping soundly on the ground.
When he stepped away from here, he saw a accounting man lying next to the window, soundly asleep.
