Chapter 51: The Color of the Moonlight
Jiang Chengzi asked this sentence, and he regretted it a little. Because she felt that the heart of the young man next to her suddenly fluctuated, and her mood was instantly lonely and chaotic.
"I'm sorry. She said immediately.
The young man shook his head lightly and whispered, "It's okay, it's over." ”
When he said this, his tone was very light. But Jiang Chengzi still heard the indescribable loneliness and sadness. She suddenly felt so guilty that she said sorry.
He chuckled, and his expression and tone were much brighter than before. He scratched his head and said, "It's okay." It's gone, and God just treats me hard. ”
Jiang Chengzi didn't understand the meaning of the combination of these two sentences, but he didn't ask much about this taboo topic. She picked up a stone from the side and threw it into the river, and when she tested the depth of the water, she found that the water was not very deep and she could wade through.
Jiang Chengzi was about to wade through the water, staying away from the people in the inn before making plans. The young man next to him suddenly said, "The person I owe and feel guilty for the most is her." ”
Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the person he was referring to was his deceased wife. The most embarrassing thing in this world is that two people who obviously love each other can't withstand fate, and yin and yang are separated.
When she sighed secretly, he said to himself: "Once upon a time, I hated her family so much that I had no choice but to marry her. I thought I would never fall in love with the family girl I hated for the rest of my life. ”
He paused, watching the grand fireflies fly in front of him, as if he was stuck in a memory.
Jiang Chengzi also looked at the unreal grand fireflies in front of him, and asked slowly: "Later, did you still fall in love?"
"Oh, it's ironic, on the wedding night, love at first sight. I was so scared that I didn't dare to see her again after that night. The boy's voice was full of sarcasm and mockery.
Jiang Chengzi only felt that this was a more complicated and tangled story than he imagined, more complicated than the entanglement between Romeo and Juliet. She frowned slightly, remembering her state of mind when she was young, she fell in love with someone at first sight, but she only sighed: "Who is not young and can't control their hearts." ”
The boy did not answer her, but said to himself: "But she does not care about me, but uses all her wisdom and ability to deal with my enemies and protect me." I saw it in my eyes, but I couldn't be nice to her, hoping that she would leave by herself if she didn't get a response, and no longer get involved in the chaos and lose her life. But she remained quiet, steadfast in her fight against my enemies. I was—"
The boy choked up and sniffed. Jiang Chengzi knew that he was crying, so he whispered: "She is a smart person, she cares about you so much, she doesn't want you to be sad in the slightest." ”
The boy let out a low "um" and said, "At that time, in fact, I had already figured out, whoever she was. She's just my wife for the rest of my life. ”
"Then you-, do you want her to know your mind?" Jiang Chengzi saw that he hadn't spoken for a long time, so he asked cautiously.
The boy is like a sculpture, not moving for a long time, letting the mountain wind blow his big flying. After a long time, he said in a barely audible voice, "I finally figured it out, so I went to her desperately." but she was slain by my enemies, and died in my bosom. Oh, that's fate. ”
Jiang Chengzi was silent, the saddest thing in the world was that he thought everything was in time, but he didn't know that God didn't give him a chance to reform himself, so he lived with guilt and regret. In the days that followed, he lived like the person he loved.
Fireflies are in full swing around, night birds are terrible, and strong winds are raging. The two stood by the steamy river, among the reeds in the barren mountains and wilderness, silent to each other.
After a long time, the wind stopped. He suddenly turned his head, laughed, suddenly leaned into her ear, and asked ambiguously: You are sorry for me. Don't you think I'm making up stories?"
Jiang Chengzi looked at the corners of his slightly bent mouth, and there was still a trace of sadness and vicissitudes in his bright eyes.
"Are you lying?" Jiang Chengzi said with some annoyance.
He laughed, didn't say anything, and jumped into the cold water. Suddenly, he turned around and said, "How do you know I'm lying?"
"Your smile, your eyes. She pouted.
He looked back at her, and said "Huh" very suspiciously, "You have such good eyes, you can still see my eyes and smile in the dark moon and windy night." ”
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, he panicked in his heart, and secretly shouted carelessly, the young man in front of him was thoughtful, and if he was a little careless in his words and deeds, he would be caught by him. It won't be good if it's exposed.
Jiang Chengzi was flustered in her heart at this time, but on the surface, she was still calm and light, she just replied calmly: "Some people are talented, and there is nothing strange about it. ”
"Hmm. The young man seemed to agree, and then he didn't dwell on the topic, but beckoned to her and whispered, "Come, wade through the water, clean the smell of incense on your body, and put an end to the pursuers." ”
Jiang Chengzi did not hand over the water to him, but lifted the hem of his clothes and slowly stepped into the water. The boy stood in the middle of the water and watched as she cautiously walked past.
Suddenly, at the beginning of the month, the birds in the reeds flew and flew into the depths of the mountains and forests. Jiang Chengzi was stunned for a moment, looking at the young man in front of him, he was standing in the middle of the sparkling water, his silver mask flashing with the silver light of the moon. His eyes were clear, and the moonlight was shining in them.
He stood there, looking straight at her. Jiang Chengzi also stood in the water, looking at him.
Jiang Chengzi only felt that such a scene seemed to be seen somewhere, but he couldn't remember it. She was stunned, but the young man in front of her came back to his senses, stepped over with an arrow, hugged her, and dragged her into the water, and the water did not reach her neck.
He lifted her up again and splashed her with his hand. The cold water of the river drenched her. The mountain wind was fierce, and she only felt that there was no trace of temperature in her body, and her body couldn't help but shrink and tremble.
But he also quickly drenched himself, and when he got up again, he walked over quickly, whispered "offended", picked her up at once, jumped onto the riverbank, and ran forward quickly.
The moon is bright and clean, sprinkled on the ground, and the swaying of the four wild plants and trees can be seen clearly. The light was bright, he could see clearly, and he ran very fast.
"Originally, I arranged for someone to extinguish the knife, so you and I don't have to drip water, but I don't want to risk it. He said as he ran.
Jiang Chengzi was held in his arms, and he only felt very absurd. If it had been in the past, a strange man she didn't know dared to do this to her, she would have arrested this person a long time ago, where could she still let him hold him in her arms? And she clearly knew that she didn't want to make a move because of the disparity in strength, but from behind the stairs to this moment, she didn't want to make a move.
She frowned and looked down to see the moonlight flowing beneath her feet.
"Here. He said.
She felt only that the moonlight had been largely hidden, and after a moment of darkness, she saw the clear water in the cave, faintly steaming, and the faint smell of sulfur in the air.
"It's a hot spring. She whispered.
"If it weren't for the hot springs nearby, how dare I throw you into the icy river. When it's warm and cold, your body and bones will get sick if you toss like this. He chuckled, already putting her down.
Then he took out the torch from his bosom and lit the torch that had been placed aside, then he turned back and stretched out his hand to her, and said, "Come, be careful about the road under your feet, it is uneven." ”
Jiang Chengzi looked at his hands, which were still just growing into adult men, their hands were pink and tender, and although their fingers were slender, they still looked a little baby fat overall.
Jiang Chengzi stared at those hands, thinking of that scumbag for no reason. When they met for the first time, he stretched out his hand to her without temptation, and whispered in her ear the love words "From now on, I will never leave her". But later, hehehe, the bloody truth is that he and Xiaosan wanted to kill her and seek to seize her property.
"Come on. When he saw her standing still, he reminded her.
Jiang Chengzi came back to his senses and said coldly, "I'll go." ”
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Then you carefully step under your feet, the ground is uneven." ”
"Hmm. She whispered, feeling that she had just done something wrong. Because of a scumbag, he innocently angered a passer-by thousands of years ago. But if she wanted to apologize to him, she couldn't do it.
So, the two walked one after the other. There is only the sound of gurgling water in the cave, and occasionally there is a large mouth of the cave, and the mountain wind will whistle in, forming a low hollow sound like a cave flute.
Although the light in the cave was too dim, it was no different from the daytime for Jiang Chengzi. But in the end, in some gaps in the cave, when the moonlight leaks down, there is still a different style.
Probably because he was too silent, after walking for a while, he still broke the silence and said to himself that this place was discovered by him and his deceased wife. Later, he spent money to renovate it here and put down the weeping willow inn.
Jiang Chengzi paused, then said "Huh" and said, "It turns out that you are the owner of this inn." ”
"I'm just coiling it down. But I'm not in business. He explained.
"Then you are also the boss, and the ownership of the inn belongs to you. She said.
When the young man heard this, he smiled, turned around and walked back, nodding his head as he went, and said, "If that's the case, it's true." ”
Jiang Chengzi was silent, he also felt that it was boring to speak, so he stopped talking. The two continued to walk forward, and after walking for about four or five minutes, Jiang Chengzi suddenly felt that his eyes suddenly opened up.
On a large raised platform, stone tables and stone benches, pavilions, wooden wardrobes, pots and bowls, wine jars. There is a feeling of "fairy cave".
"Every time I think of her, I come here. Therefore, there is a simple tidying up. He explained.
Jiang Chengzi is afraid that if she says too much, she will lose, and although this person does not exude evil energy, but after all, she does not dare to show her true face, she has to be careful, and she has to be careful. In addition, this person is thoughtful, or a word can make him see what clues. Therefore, it is better for her to talk less.
When he saw that she was silent, and probably knew that she was watching out for him, he only sighed, walked to the center of the pavilion, lit the candle on the candlestick, and extinguished the torch in his hand.
