However, having seen a few words of having, has heard the gentle knock on the door, she picks up the ears to hear, the knock on the door has disappeared again. She fears, thinks the fine hair on the human body is poured vertically, the back is sent and cooled directly. Put down the book at once, cover the toweling coverlet and plan to sleep.
At this moment,"peng," ,The knock on the door sounds again, catch the plum lustrous and transparently this time, the sound really comes from the gate.
