31. Immortal Drunkenness (14)
The sunset dyed half of the sky red.
The autumn wind blew the plane tree in front of the courtyard "squeak", and a large yellow fan smashed on the soil, and with a crisp sound, it was all broken, leaving bare branches and scars carved by the four seasons on the trunk.
When Si Yi returned from hunting, he pushed open the courtyard door, put the wild deer in his hand on one side, and washed his hands with flower branch water.
He knew that Chang'e didn't like to smell the bloody smell.
Today's courtyard is a little quiet, and Si Yi is a little at a loss.
On weekdays, whenever Si Yi returned from hunting, Chang'e would happily run out of the house to greet him, but today he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he didn't see anyone.
Pushing open the door, the hall was filled with the smell of food, Si Yi looked at it, Chang'e was sitting at the table, her expression was dull, and her eyes were full of sadness.
"What's wrong?But you're tired today?" Si Yi's warm voice sounded, pulling Chang'e back to reality.
"The grandma at the head of the town suddenly ...... today And he left. ”
Si Yi's heart was shocked, he also knew about the situation of the grandmother, her body was tough, she could cut wood and cook, and she left suddenly, which was really scary.
Si Yi held Chang'e's hand tightly, making her cold hands a little warmer.
"I never imagined that mortal life could be so fragile without warning...... And left. When I saw Grandma lying quietly on the bed, at that moment I wished I hadn't been deprived of my divine status, perhaps...... I can also help Grandma delay a little longer. ”
Tears flickered in Chang'e's eyes, she began to fear death for the first time, afraid that one day Si Yi would be like that grandmother, quietly...... It's gone, and it's never going to come back......
"Chang'e...... Do you regret it?" Si Yi listened to Chang'e's story, and his heart became extremely cold.
"What do you regret?" Chang'e didn't understand what Si Yi meant.
"I regret leaving the heavenly realm, no longer being immortal, and I begin to face life and death...... Do you regret accepting that you will be tormented by illness in the days to come?"
"I never regretted leaving the Heavenly Realm, and when my father stopped me, he told me that once I left, I would only be able to spend a short life, so I have no regrets. Chang'e's eyes were full of determination.
Si Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hugged Chang'e, "I'm sorry, I thought ...... You regret it. ”
"Fool!" Chang'e said angrily.
"Even if I regret it, what's the use, haven't I already broken away from the divine realm and become your Si Yi's wife?
Chang'e's tone was relaxed, and the original intention was to make Si Yi's tense heart a little weaker, but unexpectedly, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart.
After all, Si Yi distorted the meaning of his words.
Half a joke, half a point of sincerity.
Si Yi opened Chang'e easily, walked to the end of the inner room, took out a wooden box from the bookcase, paused for a moment, and decided to tell his wife the long-sealed secret.
I promised you that you would be happy and smooth for the rest of your life.
If you really regret it, then I can only fulfill you, and I can't be a stumbling block on the road to your happiness!
"This is the elixir given to me by the Emperor of Heaven back then, and if you take it, you can go straight to the Heavenly Palace and become an immortal once you become an immortal. Si Yi opened the wooden box, took out the sachet inside, and handed it to Chang'e.
"From now on, it's yours. ”
Chang'e took the elixir of immortality, and her floating heart sank fiercely all of a sudden.
Si Yi ...... I ...... "Chang'e wants to explain something."
"I believe in you, but I respect you more. Si Yi smiled lightly, and laid out the dishes and chopsticks again, "Let's eat, it's not good if you're hungry." ”
Chang'e clutched the bag of immortal medicine, bit her lower lip, and put it in the wooden box.
With a sigh, he began to eat.
The shadow outside the west window smiled evilly, and disappeared away.
......
......
It's late at night, and it's quiet.
No wind, no fallen leaves.
The candle flame was bright, and the inadvertent shaking made the restless Chang'e wake up in her dream.
She gasped lightly, her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat, she held on to the edge of the bed, got out of bed and poured herself a glass of water, and rested on the bamboo chair.
Above the night sky, a bright moon shone high, driving away the black smoke.
She was homesick......
I miss the divine power I once had.
She wants to grow old with Si Yi for the rest of her life, but she is now afraid, she never knows which one will come first, the accident or the white head.
If one day, Si Yi left and never came back, she didn't know how to live in this lonely world, she gave up everything, and had nothing...... Only Si Yi remained.
The thoughts in her heart made her unconsciously take a step, and she walked towards the bookcase step by step, and her jade finger touched the wooden box, and the mechanism was rotated, and the immortal medicine was in front of her......
As long as she takes it and recovers her divine power, she can stop those accidents, those injuries.
Her hands, uncontrolled, sank deeper and deeper...... In the blink of an eye, he picked up the elixir and prepared to take it.
Suddenly hearing the sound of Si Yi turning her body, she finally came back to her senses, looking at the elixir in her mouth, she looked frightened, let go of the medicine in her hand, and let it fall to the ground.
Chang'e looked at her hands in disbelief, gasping for air.
How do I ...... I......
Chang'e, what are you doing?
Big drops of hot tears smashed the elixir, Chang'e couldn't have imagined that she was selfish.
She turned her head to look at the sleeping Si Yi, quickly wiped away her tears, picked up the elixir again, put it in a wooden box intact, put it back in its place, and continued to lie next to Si Yi, hugging him.
Thirsting for forgiveness and stability.
A peaceful night.
Si Yi slowly opened his eyes, last night, he didn't fall asleep. Chang'e's move, he saw it all, he didn't want to stop it, but he still made a move.
He was reluctant after all.
But after a night of contemplation, what if you can't give up? Di Jun, don't Emperor Yan have to be reluctant?
There was a bitterness at the corner of his mouth, but it quickly disappeared again. He kissed Chang'e's forehead lightly, and said in his heart: I really won't stop you now......
......
......
"What are you doing here?" Chang'e had just returned from Sister-in-law Chen's house next door, and saw Si Yi packing his luggage, as if he was going to go out of the house.
"Oh, there is a dangerous and abnormal beast on the mountain next door, which has injured several lives, and the mayor of the next town has come to ask our hunting team for help, and I plan to go to the last three or five days to get rid of the evil beast, and give the people a safe life!"
Si Yi lowered his head and folded his clothes very seriously.
"Do you have to go?"
When Chang'e heard that those fierce beasts were extremely dangerous, she was worried for a while.
"Don't worry, I still have some way of dealing with this beast. Si Yi finally raised his head and glanced at Chang'e, and then put his bag on his back.
"I'm gone, I'll be back soon, don't read it. ”
Then he strode out of the door of the inner chamber.
