The singing was still resounding in his ears, Shen Er patted her shoulder, and turned her gaze to Shen Er. What's wrong?
Jiang Shiyu heard them singing until there, then followed them.
Jiang Shiyu tidied up the room and covered it with a layer of cloth. In the next few months, a lot of dust will fall. She put the clothes in the cupboard and left after it got dark.
Yao Yao stood up, "I feel a little cold standing here, so I squatted down to keep myself warm."
Jiang Shiyu held onto Yao Yao's hand, as it turned ice-cold, "How long have you been here?"
Yao Yao's face was bloodless and freezing cold.
She said, "I don't know either. Even though I had a nightmare last night, I just wanted to find you. But you didn't come back, so I went back. I won't be able to sleep later, so I squatted by your door."
When Jiang Shiyu returned, it was already past midnight. Didn't that mean Yao Yao had squatted there for half the night?
He supported Yao Yao into the room and poured her a cup of hot water and softly asked: "What kind of nightmare are you having?"
Hot air rose up from his body as Yao Yao took a sip, "I can't remember anymore. The dream was really too uncomfortable, and when I woke up, my heart ached so badly."
Jiang Shiyu had no choice but to pat her back time and again.
After a while, Yao Yao's face finally regained some color.
"Jiang Shiyu, why did you come back so late last night?" Yao Yao was distracted, so she asked Jiang Shiyu a question that was difficult to answer.
"There's something I can't say." Jiang Shiyu said vaguely.
Yao Yao looked at Jiang Shiyu's room, all of it covered with coarse cloth, and was startled. "Are you going to go out?"
Jiang Shiyu was upset, "Yes."
Seeing her distressed, Yao Yao did not ask anymore, "It's fine, go out immediately, and come back safely."
Jiang Shiyu nodded, "I'll tell you when I get back."
Yao Yao acknowledged.
At this time, Jiang Shiyu still had to go to the library. Even if she were to go out, she had to bring some books out with her.
When she went to the library to borrow books, she discovered that the few people she had met last night had all borrowed books. She could not help but smile in her heart.
Shen Er came to the library and pulled Jiang Shiyu over to another area.
Jiang Shiyu had not been here before, but at the back of the library was a circular pond, inside it were some dead branches and withered leaves, and on the surface of the lake floated some miscellaneous items.
"Unfortunately for you, if it is summer, the lotus flowers here would bloom and you would be able to dig up some lotus roots." Seeing her looking at the pond, Shen Er explained it to her, "However, if we go to Crete and come back, we should be able to see lotus leaves growing here. Before long, we will have lotus roots."
Jiang Shiyu thought for a while, "Are we going for that long?"
Shen Er calculated, "On the way there, I will need a month, finding information is not that simple, I will need to spend a period of time to do that, and come back for a month, three to four months is still required."
Jiang Shiyu nodded her head, "You dragged me here to talk about Lotus Roots?"
Shen Er smiled, "Of course not, I'm here to show you something."
With that, Shen Er squatted down and took out a bottle from her robes, digging out a bit of dirt and putting it in. She passed it to Jiang Shiyu, "Catch."
Jiang Shiyu took it, "What are you doing?"
Shen Er took out a dozen or so small bottles in a row, "I'll carry them, take them."
Shen Er did not stop, "This is a custom from my mother's side, they said that when we went far, we would bring some soil from our hometown, on one hand it was to think, and on the other it was to return."
Jiang Shiyu laughed: "Are you being superstitious?"
Shen Er pretended to be confused, "It's just my mother's kind intentions, I'll just pretend it's real. To let her feel at ease and do such a small thing. "
"Your mother's ready for everyone."
"Yeah."
"You told her?"
"No, she just said that she would be out for a while. She asked me how many people she had and she gave me so many bottles."
Shen Er clapped her hands, and the fourteen bottles were filled with dirt, "Alright, take them back. Take this, and we'll give the rest to them. "
"Us?" Jiang Shiyu held onto the bottle, "Why do you want to come with me?"
Shen Er smiled mysteriously, "You'll know once you go."
After Jiang Shiyu ran through the rest of the people, she finally understood what Shen Er was planning. When everyone heard Shen Er's explanation of the origins of the bottle, they all felt that it was a little superstitious. Shen Er then pulled Jiang Shiyu out and said that Jiang Shiyu had also brought it with her.
The rest of them accepted it, as it was better to have a sign than a superstition.
Another person took the bottle and asked, "This is the symbol, then what is our name?"
Shen Er casually said: "Let's do it."
When the man heard it, he wanted to return the bottle, but Shen Er passed it over again, "I was just spouting nonsense."
Jiang Shiyu pretended to act the same, letting everyone believe that she had already been brought along. It was nothing much.
In Shen Er's words, two people would always be more convincing than one.
Jiang Shiyu was already speechless. He allowed her to bring him to knock on other people's doors one by one.
Finally, there was still Cheng Yu left. Shen Er threw a bottle at her, "Bring this to Cheng Yu."
"Ah?" I don't know where he lives. " Jiang Shiyu took the bottle and said.
Shen Er chuckled: "When you leave tonight, give it to him personally. I don't know where he lives. "
Without waiting for Jiang Shiyu's reaction, she had already run far away.
Jiang Shiyu looked at the sky and felt that she should go back to her room to have a good night's sleep.
Holding the bottle, Jiang Shiyu's palm turned cold.
On the night of their departure, the moonlight was not very good. From time to time, a black cloud would float over, blocking the bright moon. Fourteen people stood by the shore, waiting for the guards to start the boat and bring them out of Nine Heavens Academy.
The entire Nine Heavens Academy was silently behind them.
No one came to send them off. This trip was to keep it a secret, so the less people knew, the better.
Cheng Yu was still covered in white, as if he was about to melt into the water.
Shen Er's clothes were thin, when the cold wind blew, she shivered, then raised her head and smiled as she looked at the body of the boat that was gradually revealing itself under the moonlight.
Shen Da and Shen Er stood together. Upon seeing that they did not have enough energy, she yawned, and her eyes were lifeless.
Ling Lan's eyes burned as she looked at the boat, full of confidence about the future.
Jiang Shiyu carried her small bag and looked at everyone's expression.
Some laughed, some became nervous, and some looked forward to it.
Shen Da looked at the moon that appeared from time to time, sighing, "I haven't eaten my fill yet. When I see the moon, I feel like eating a biscuit."
Shen Er rolled his eyes at him.
As the boat leaned against the shore, a protector came out and counted the number of people on the boat. After checking the list, the boat started moving again, heading out of the island.
