From the east to the west of the city, it is as if from prosperity to ruin.

One after another, the heels of the shoes will sink into the deep mud pit if you don't pay attention to it. When you pull it out again, the shoes will blend perfectly with the mess around them.

“…… Fifty rupees a month, and I would not have let it to you without a certificate from the mayor. " The landlord gave them a bunch of keys and walked away swearing. Before I left, I couldn't help but look at the little wife beside the man. It's really beautiful in the small town.

Unfortunately, in the west of the city

You can't keep it if you don't have any skills.

The landlord shook his head and left with emotion.

Liu Yu looked up at the house in front of him. The stone house was on the first floor. He dug out a small crooked window.

Looking through the window, there was a bed, a chair, and on the opposite side of the bed, there was a stove built of stone, and some moldy straw was placed against the wall, as if no one had lived in a long time.

It's really

"Belle, you can still regret it."

"Regret? No, never. "

Liu Yu took the lead and opened the door with the key.

When the wooden door was closed, it was isolated from the prying eyes around him, and then he sighed slightly: there are four walls in my family.

"There's not a single rupee Mr. Leslie, the rice bowl is empty. There is no wheat, no milk, no lamb chops

"But," she said, picking up a dusty cloth from the table, "fortunately, we have rags and buckets."

She smiles at him:

"Dear Mr. Leslie, let's clean it up."

The girl's smile in the dark room has a kind of gold like dazzling.

He grabbed the rag from her hand, pushed her aside and sat down:

"sit down, dear Mrs. Leslie. A gentleman is determined not to let her lady use a little finger

"You mean I sit, and you work? "

"Yes, Belle..." He squatted down, held her shoulder, and looked flat with her, "the little girl just needs to play and be happy."

Liu Yu looked at him for a moment and suddenly said:

"you will spoil me, Gaia."

"If you can, Belle, you can be worse."

He patted her and got up and left.

Liu Yu lost his mind slightly.

There are more than a dozen colorful happy sweets on her knee, which he gave her when he pushed her to sit down. He really coax her like a child

She looked into the distance.

In the gray streets, there is no green mountains and water in the west of Tris town. There is no golden palace. There is only a broad and fat man. He is wearing ordinary clothes and carrying a bucket with the same width to get water from the river.

The setting sun plated his body with soft light, which made his back look firm and warm.

Although the stone house is not big, it is late at night when it is cleaned inside and outside.

There was no sound except the barking of dogs in the street.

There was only a narrow wooden bed in the house, and the chair was made of wood, only one leg was lame, and the moldy straw was thrown out of the door.

Liu Yu stood by the window and looked out at the moon:

"it's the full moon..."

A shadow enveloped her.

Gaia stood beside her and looked up at the moon:

"what's on your mind?"

Liu Yu looked to the side and found that he had recovered his original appearance at some time.

The broad black gold silk robe was blown up by the wind, and his ink hair was drooping, almost to the ground. On his deep and pale face, a pair of green eyes were like a forest in the mist. He stood beside her like a king in the dark -

seemed to be far away.

She didn't like the feeling very much and put her hand over his eyes.

"What's the matter?"

"As soon as you change back I feel like someone from another world. "

"Not used to it yet?"

He grabbed her hand.

"Yes, I can't get used to it." Liu Yu looked at him directly, "you are so beautiful."

He seemed to be directly pleased with her.

He bowed his head and kissed her in the palm of her hand: "so, Mr. Leslie, who is incomparably beautiful, can we ask for a further relationship?"

Liu Yu:

She pulled out her hand with a smile: "it depends on your performance."

The young man was not annoyed, but turned to look out of the window:

"so, Belle, look The bewilderment of appearance is only temporary and can't shake you

Liu Yu does not deny it.

When she looked at his face, she could have a desire to see him, but she could go furtherShe also looked out of the window.

“… When I first came to this world, it was a full moon She seemed to be immersed in memories. "I was afraid at that time. I was afraid I couldn't live long."

"Are you still afraid?"

"I'm afraid, I'm not afraid..."

"What do you say?"

"As long as people have expectations and what they want to grasp in their hands You can't help but be afraid. "

The youth turned his head.

In the moonlight, the girl's eyes are very clear, which seems to contain a lake's mind.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

"What do you expect..." The young man paused. "Do you have me?"

Liu Yu did not speak.

After a meeting, he burst into laughter: "when I was a child, I must have never thought that one day in the future, I would choose to ask for trouble You know, I hate bugs, mice Oh, and darkness, and hunger. "

Gaia passes the little girl in the dark room in front of her.

He raised his hand and gently pressed her head:

"because she grew up."

The conversation suddenly changed:

"how about, do you want to do something else?"

Liu Yu:

She said coldly:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pao 1, I don't want to sleep with you for the time being --"

"- no, Belle, I'm afraid you misunderstood me. I'm not asking you for sex."

The young man laughed, and his green eyes sparkled in the moonlight, like a sparkling Lake: "I just want to draw a picture Of course, if you want to invite me before drawing, I can cooperate. "

Liu Yu's face turned red.

She turned her head:

"no, I don't want anything."

The girl's cheek is like a lovely dolphin.

He kisses her, pushes her, makes her sit by the bed and adjusts her posture:

"well, good, sit here That's it. "

"So, Gaia You want to draw me? " The girl took his hand and didn't let him get up. He sat in his arms and put his hands around his neck, "but Uncle Octopus said You never draw people. "

The young man lost his mind and said after a meeting:

"Mrs. Leslie is certainly different from others."

"What's different?" The girl's fingers went down his chest, "here? Here... "

The black gold robe made a slight noise on her fingernails, and all his movements stopped. There was no oil lamp, no candle, only moonlight. In the extreme stillness, she suddenly seized it, and he snorted, which was very sexy.

Hearing this, Liu Yu's body began to heat up:

"still here?"

He pressed her hand and his voice was weak:

"no, Belle..."

She seemed content.

Smiling, he threw away his hand, and his hair was lifted back: "OK, Mr. painter, please draw."

The air is frozen, like a taut string.

The next moment, it was broken by a low breath:

"Gaia!"

His ankle was pulled, and he bullied him:

"no, Mr. painter wants to test it on Mrs. Leslie first Painting. "

The sound comes into the ears, low and dumb.

"Hello

She gave him a kick and was pulled apart.

“…… Well. "

As if caught off guard, he bowed his head and kissed her. His slender fingers were like a magician's baton, with a strange shudder.

"Very good, my girl..."

"That's it, like now..."

She seems to be trapped in a fantasy of spring. She can only see the God take off his cold clothes and clothes and be entangled by greedy vines. Her black hair turns into a sticky snake. She swam around her. The mist has dyed his green eyes into a sea of chaos. He and she sink together in this sea of madness and confusion.

"Look at me." He lifted her chin. "Remember this moment forever It's me who has you

She reached out and tried to touch his eyes, but she finally fell powerless.

The night was deep.

The moon is deep.

The breath of the people around him calmed down and the youth opened his eyes.

He put on his robe and looked out of the window.

There's nothing in the stone house. It's empty.

Like a wandering soul, he wandered around the room until the first ray of light in the morning came into the room. After the girl's eyelids moved, he reached out and a black light fell down:

"lethargy."

The girl went back to sleep.

The youth pushed the door out.

Step by step in the eaves, tall and slender body began to become short and fat, gorgeous black gold robe into gray civilian clothes, gorgeous delicate face also covered under the ordinary, coarse.Civilians began to wake up and run for a living.

There are more and more pedestrians on the street. The smoke from the straight chimney and the smell of food in the air are not very attractive.

Gaia walked out slowly along the street. His face was always calm, not moved by the vigorous vitality. He looked at the mediocre creatures on the street like evaluating something.

Cold, without any emotion.

Finally, it seemed that I had enough observation and stood in front of a wide gate.

The street was clean and tidy. In front of the gate stood two attendants, dressed in black waistcoats and white shirts, and loosely tucked into black riding boots. When they saw him coming, they reached out and drove them away: "this is Viscount Owen's house! How dare the common people stand in front of the Viscount's door! Go! Let's go

"I'm looking for Viscount Owen."

"Do you think your Viscount will see everyone?" The attendants had to rush again, but when they looked at the green eyes, all the slightness disappeared. They bowed their heads respectfully, "yes! I'll let you know, sir. "

Viscount Owen was combing his moustache beautifully. When he heard the report from the porter, he would have to be driven away. But if he could make a detour, he would turn into:

"good, good. Please come in and come in."

Said, actually is personally welcomed to the VIP Hall.

"What instructions do you have, my lord?"

Viscount Owen stood respectfully, watching the common man take the first place.

"I'm short of rupees."

"Monsieur, if you want rupees, I'll send your Valet at once."

Viscount Owen bent lower.

"No, she said to be like ordinary people," the first man said something that Viscount Owen didn't understand. After a pause, he suddenly asked, "you It's the richest man in terres. "

"Lack of paintings?"

"Painting? What painting? "

"Buy my painting." He said of course, "work, get paid Yes, it's not breaking the rules. "

"My Lord, are you going to paint me? I have a lot. "

Viscount Owen was not very kind. He found that the first man looked at himself with green eyes. He was about to accept it. He took a piece of white paper, a brush and a plate of paint from nowhere.

With a stroke of a pen, a picture of

The Viscount blinked:

"green Mantis?"

In the middle of the painting stands a manly, shiny green Mantis.

The big eyes of viscount Owen and the green Mantis were staring.

"Buy it, ten thousand, no, five thousand rupees."

The civilian frowned as if he had been sold at a low price.

"Butler, bring five thousand rupees."

When the civilian walked out of the gate with rupee, viscount Owen suddenly lost his heart and patted himself on the head:

he just What's up?

Why kowtow to a civilian and pay 5000 rupees to buy a pair Green Mantis?

Crazy. Crazy.

But look at the brush strokes of green Mantis It's a master.

Somehow, viscount Owen hung the green mantis in his bedroom respectfully, and every morning he got up and went to bed late with it.

******

the next day, Liu Yu woke up in the smell of food.

Hot cocoa, strawberry pie, and Basil leaves with pine nuts?

Half straight up, I found that there was a big change in the house. There were many things in the room. The wooden bed which was still "squeaky" last night turned into a solid white carved bed. The curtain of the bed was a golden tassel. On the stone window, a white rose was inserted in a transparent vase.

Towel rack, water basin, two chairs and beautiful table.

In the smoke from the stove, Gaia was clumsily holding a pair of silver chopsticks, as if to take the strawberry cake out of the pot.

"Did you steal last night?"

She got up.

"Mrs. Leslie, would you like me to remind you of what Mr. Leslie did last night?"
