She still carries a sleeping child on her back. At the moment of reunion after four years of separation, her courage has brought the maternal calmness that only many adult women have. She turned the child around and placed him on the bed, then stretched out her hands and waited for him to take her into his arms.

Seeing that Yu Yichen refused to come over, Zhenshu himself walked towards him step by step: "How can I not see you?" Even among the thousands, even thousands of monks in Zen robes and with bare heads standing in front of me at the same time, as long as you are among those people, I can see you at a glance. ”

By the time he took her into his arms, she was crying, "Since you're alive, why didn't you come and tell me?" Why should I live with guilt for so long, and live so hard alone? ”

Yu Yichen still looked at the sleeping child on the bed: "How did you get out of the city?" Didn't Du Yu look for you? ”

Zhenshu shook his head: "I have lived separately from him since I arrived in Liangzhou, and he doesn't know about me leaving the city." ”

She patted her chest proudly: "I'm a woman now. ”

Yu Yichen still looked at the little fish on the bed: "Then this kid?" Won't Du Yu look for him? ”

Zhenshu will only care, and what he cares about most must still be this child. She is now a mother, and her heart for her son is greater than all love for others: "This is my child, and though I am spoiled and disliked, I must take him with me wherever I go or with whomever I am with." ”

Yu Yichen let go of Zhenshu and sat on the edge of the bed, and used his fingertips to caress the face of the sleeping child with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and tiger brains. He is now about three years old, and he is in the mischievous and noisy grade. Seeing Zhenshu looking at him anxiously, he pursed his lips and said softly, "How could I not like him?" I love everything that belongs to you, I love everything. As you say, he has spoiled you, and perhaps he is more difficult to deal with than you are. ”

Zhenshu sat on the ground and put Yu Yichen's legs around him, and rubbed the cloth of his gray monk's robe with his cheek: "Don't leave me again, okay?" I have survived all these years alone, because I thought I had killed you, I want to see the world for you with my own eyes, and live for you with my full spirit, I think you can see everything I see, I think you are in everything I can perceive, I can live with such a belief, so I am willing to come to this place far from home to live alone with children.

This place is close to your hometown, I often stand on the tower of the city and look into the distance, overlooking the land that belongs to the dead country of Western Xia, I think maybe your soul is wandering there, I am ready to wait for this child to grow up and go there to find you, accompany you. ”

She couldn't say any more with tears pouring down her eyes, and she cried for a long time before she eased up and said: "When I was in Wanshou Temple, I made a wish in front of the Buddha. I said, "Buddha, if this man next to me is a real man, I will decide to marry him, even if I am ruthlessly abandoned in the future, I will not regret or be ashamed." ”

Yu Yichen sat on the edge of the bed, caressing the child's face on the bed with one hand, holding the shoulder of Zhenshu with the other, closed his eyes for a long time before opening his eyes, looked at the ground and looked up at his Zhenshu, slowly leaned down to touch her face, first printed his lips on her forehead and pecked lightly, and then raised them and printed them on her cheeks, pecking lightly little by little, straight to her lips.

The two lay side by side on the velvet carpet, Zhenshu looked at Yu Yichen sideways without blinking, and sighed for a long time: "You have changed, although you are still that person, your appearance and temperament have changed." ”

His complexion is not as white and smooth as before, slightly rough, and more masculine than he used to be, and he has more masculinity that only real men have. The eyes are still soft, but not the feminine they were back then. Zhenshu stretched out his hand and touched his face: "It must be the wind in the north that blows you rough." ”

Yu Yichen reached out and held her hand: "So, you don't like it?" ”

Zhenshu took his hand and grunted: "No, I like it very much, I like it no matter what you look like." ”

The two faced each other, and they couldn't say a thousand words for a while. Zhenshu looked at it for a long time and looked up and sighed lightly: "I married a robber for the first time, and I want to marry a eunuch for the second time, and this time I have made up my mind to marry a monk, you must not refuse me." ”

Yu Yichen was afraid of waking up the child on the bed and chuckled: "With me, the monks in this temple are afraid that no one will dare to marry you." ”

Zhenshu glared: "Aren't you a monk?" ”

Yu Yichen shook his head: "My six unfinished hearts are too heavy to be ordained." ”

Before Zhenshu could speak, the annoying voice of the fat monk outside sounded again: "Uncle Shi, your people from Blackwater City are here, and now they are waiting outside the temple." ”

Yu Yichen pulled up the chastity book and put it on, pointed to the sleeping child on the bed and asked, "Will he cry when he wakes up?" ”

He hadn't dealt with a child yet, especially since this little fish was a very naughty and weird child.

Zhenshu couldn't react for a while, and he was afraid that he was going to take him away, so he hurriedly asked while holding the child, "Where are you going to take us?" Du Yu knew that the news would be tomorrow morning, so there was no need to run away in such a hurry. ”

Yu Yichen saw that she was indeed a little difficult to hold the child, and when she took it over, she hugged her awkwardly into her arms, and Du Xiaoyu's eyes suddenly opened: "Who are you?" I want my mother. ”

Zhenshu suddenly pounced over and took the little fish: "Mother is here, I want to take you to a good place, hurry up and close your eyes and sleep." ”

How could Xiao Yu sleep, he looked left and right for a long time, pointed to the piano on the wall and shouted, "Mother, I want to play that." ”

Yu Yichen was already waiting at the door, Zhenshu had no skin and no face again, he naturally didn't dare to do much, and he came out with Xiaoyu in his arms, until he reached the gate of Baita Temple, and saw hundreds of high-headed horses standing silently in the moonlight, and immediately all adult men dressed in black were restrained.

One of them came over with a horse, and Zhenshu shouted in surprise in his heart: "Mr. Mei! ”

Mei Xun was obviously also very surprised, and responded: "Zhenshu girl! ”

Yu Yichen patted Mei Xun on the shoulder, grabbed the small fish from Zhenshu's arms and handed it to him, "Let's go back to Blackwater City overnight." ”

Mei Xun was dumbfounded with a child in her arms, Yu Yichen had already thrown the book of chastity on the horse, and then rode up and ran away.

Xiao Yu looked at Mei Xun with a pair of eyes in the dark night, and sighed for a long time: "My mother doesn't want me anymore!" ”

Mei Xun didn't say a word, took the child on the horse, and galloped with the large army, all the way north to Blackwater City.

Zhenshu occasionally glanced back at the Baita Temple before leaving outside the White Pagoda Temple yesterday and saw Yu Yichen, he was wearing a hat and holding a Zen staff, standing in the corn field and no different from a scarecrow, but he was him, and he was still him when he turned into ashes, no matter where she came from, she could recognize him at a glance.

For fear that Du Yu would be suspicious, Zhenshu did not show it in the book, and it was easy to stay up until dark after returning to the city, because he was afraid that Xiaoyu would cry on the road, and he fell asleep before carrying the child out of the city overnight, all the way to Baita Temple to find him.

She thought that Yu Yichen was lucky not to die and now became a monk, who knew that he was still guarded by so many guards when he traveled, obviously he had not changed his evil temperament after he died, and he didn't know what to do there again. It was because Zhenshu was a little unhappy that he leaned on Yu Yichen's arms and walked away for a long time before he said: "You tell me honestly, you are doing some bad things there now, and you have caused such a big battle?" ”

How could Yu Yichen not know her thoughts, and it was a little funny and difficult to explain for a while, so he asked her rhetorically: "Presumably you have had a good life over the years, and you have never been out of the city in Liangzhou for more than two years." ”

Zhenshu said hatefully: "Yes, I have a good life, and the good ones can't be better." At least you must think that I am doing well, otherwise I have lived outside the city for two years, and I know that I am in Liangzhou City, and I will not send a letter to give a message, so as to teach me that it is so difficult and painful to live, I really thought you were dead. ”

Yu Yichen saw that she was really angry, and hurriedly explained: "I really didn't want to take you away at the beginning, and I also stated in the letter that I wanted to follow the empty door to become a monk. Later, when the lotus lantern was placed on the bank of the canal, I asked you not to enter the mountain gate with Du Yu, but I also had a little selfishness, thinking that if you went back and saw the letter and knew that I was guarding in the mountain gate, and Du Yu was unsatisfactory and found the mountain gate alone, I might be able to think about the ordinary life again. But you haven't been to any monastery when you were in Beijing, and you have lived in the city since you arrived in Liangzhou and have never come out, so I thought you and Du Yu were at least in harmony. If you have a normal life, how can I bother you again? ”

Zhenshu suddenly turned around: "What letter?" What letter have you left behind, how come I have never seen it? ”

Yu Yichen was also stunned: "It's on the top of those silver tickets in the bathroom box of the small building in Sichuan Lane, haven't you seen it?" ”

Zhenshu silently recalled for a long time, and scolded hatefully: "It must be Du Yu who took it, he once took people to Sichuan Lane." ”

Yu Yichen was also stunned: "If he takes it, he will definitely not give it to you." ”

Zhenshu was silent for a long time before he said: "Originally, I still felt a little guilty about him for secretly taking away Xiaoyu, and since he is such a person, I am not ashamed of him." ”

She turned her head and asked urgently, "What did you write me?" Hurry up, tell me now. ”

Yu Yichen shook his head: "I have forgotten that time has passed, since your heart is still towards me now, what are you doing with those things?" ”

Zhenshu still had curiosity in his heart, but since he insisted on not saying anything, he had to put it down first. At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and she saw that everyone had traveled to a place where the grass was melting and the sky was wide, and pointed to the road ahead and asked Yu Yichen: "Where are we going now?" ”

Yu Yichen didn't know how to explain, and pointed to the misty place under the gray dome in the distance and said, "Blackwater City is my hometown. ”

The horses were tired from galloping all night, and gradually slowed down and trotted on the grassland. Everywhere, there are occasional herdsmen who get up early to smoke or graze, and when they see Yu Yichen passing by, they all have to stop what they are doing and bow to him with their hands on their chests. Zhenshu had never seen this kind of etiquette, and asked Yu Yichen in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, are you here again to plague these herdsmen, so that they will tremble when they see you." ”
