Chapter 128: The New Tea Covenant (I)
Fan Zengli sighed, she knew that she couldn't hide anything from Ji Cheng, "Last time, Da Lang wrote home and said that it was your family affair, but then it was over, he is a big man who is not good at inquiring about the news, my father-in-law and mother can't rest assured that you, and my aunt is now grounded again, so my father-in-law asked me to come to the capital first, first, to take care of Dalang, and second, to see if I can help you a little." β
Ji Qing was afraid that Ji Cheng would think too much, so he didn't inform the Fan family in advance about going to Jingshi.
Ji Cheng used to look forward to Fan's coming, but now that Fan's is here, it has made it convenient for Shen Che, which is really unpredictable.
It was not easy for Ji Cheng to sneak out under the nose of the old lady, but it was very easy to leave Fan Zengli alone, because Fan Zengli didn't dare to ask Ji Cheng about it at all.
First, he took a boat to the east, and then turned north, and Shen Che received Ji Cheng at the mouth of the Qingjiang River.
Further north from the Qingjiang Estuary, into Taiyun Mountain, the mountain is thousands of miles high, and the rugged trail carriage can no longer move forward, but this time Shen Che seems to be very considerate of Ji Cheng, and specially prepared two earth horses.
Although the local horses are not as good as the galloping horses, the horses' hooves are more suitable for walking mountain roads and are full of endurance.
Although there are two horses, but one of them is used to camel things, women always go out with all kinds of sundries and utensils, Ji Cheng looked at the earth horse that was almost dented by the weight of the back, and was no longer embarrassed to ride up.
Ji Cheng was hugged by Shen Che in his arms, sitting sideways on the saddle, the horse's hooves were obtained, and he walked leisurely on the mountain road, the earth horse was greedy, and after walking for a while, he stopped and gnawed on the grass on the side of the road, Shen Che did not urge it, and raised his hand to point out the nearby monuments for Ji Cheng, such as the Jade Girl Shampoo Basin, Lu Zi's Lecture Office, the Immortal Flying Cliff, and the Wangfu Stone and Sister Rock.
Almost every mountain has such monuments, but it is particularly interesting in Shen Che's mouth, such as the jade maid's shampoo basin, Shen Che said that he got off the horse, hugged Ji Cheng's waist and flew towards the cliff, pointing to the pool as big as a small porcelain basin and telling Ji Cheng, "Am I right?" How can this be a shampoo basin, a footwash basin is about the same. When I was young and ignorant, I admired the jade girl wholeheartedly, and I came to see it when I was not yet successful, and I almost didn't fall to my death, but it turned out to be such a sewage basin, can you imagine my mood at that time? β
Yes. Ji Cheng couldn't help laughing.
In this way, he walked all the way to the place where he overlooked the Wangfu Stone, and Shen Chelerma stopped, "The story of the Wangfu Stone is said to be that the woman's husband was requisitioned to reclaim the negative stone, and the husband did not return for a long time, so she stood on the cliff and looked at her husband's return, and the small stone next to it is said to be her child. It's just that since he went to the beach, but the direction that this stone is looking at is just the opposite, the Wangfu Stone has become a backing stone, and the person who made up this legend does not bother to think about it more. β
Ji Cheng frowned, but if her direction was correct, the face of the Wangfu Stone was facing the sea, "Are you mistaken?" β
Shen Che smiled, "I'll take you to have a look." β
The Wangfu Stone is about one person high, and because the shape of the stone resembles the side face of a person, everyone wears and chisels to attach to that legend. But even if the Wangfu Stone is only one person high, this stone must weigh a thousand catties to say the least.
And Ji Cheng saw traces of human movement on the pedestal of this Wangfu Stone, but it should have been a long time ago, because if you don't pay attention to it, it will be difficult to find this trace.
"You turned it for it?" Ji Cheng asked Shen Che suspiciously.
"Every time I pass by here, I always feel uncomfortable, until I turn it around, and now it looks much more pleasing to the eye." Shen Che said casually.
It's just that although the words are casual, Shen Che was only in his early tens, and in order to be able to turn this Wangfu Stone in a different direction, he worked hard, because when he was seven years old, he had already looked at this Wangfu Stone unpleasantly.
Because of this stop-and-go all the way, it is impossible to reach the top of the mountain before dark, but fortunately there is a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain, and there are also laymen and pilgrims in Suri to stay here, and the guest house is quite clean.
Shen Che asked for two guest houses, because he was very willing to give silver, so he lived in the two highest locations, built by the mountains, with a small terrace, and walked out to see the mountains and clouds.
Ji Cheng stood on the terrace and sniffed the fragrance in the wind, and had to say that it was indeed refreshing to come to the mountains. The slightly cold wind at dusk made Ji Cheng feel like drinking mint water in his head, refreshing and refreshing.
Behind him, Shen Che said: "I brought you two buckets of hot water, you can soak in it, otherwise you will definitely be sore tomorrow." β
The bathtub looks like it has never been used, and it exudes the aroma of fresh wood, and the tung oil shines.
The hot water did relieve Ji Cheng's fatigue, and he felt that as long as Shen Che was not a demon, people were really not difficult to get along with.
Ji Cheng didn't take a bath for too long, and he always felt unstable when he was with Shen Che, for fear that he would flash in front of him at some point, anyway, it would be too naΓ―ve to expect Shen Che to have any shame.
Ji Cheng changed into a water-blue skirt, the thin light veil was blown up by the evening breeze in the mountains, as bright as a blooming luminous orchid, and her face was flushed with a moist red because she had just bathed, as if there was moisture leaking out of her skin.
Ji Cheng didn't know what he was thinking, and he stood for a while before realizing that Shen Che was leaning on the terrace of his room and looking at her.
Seeing Ji Cheng turn his head, Shen Che said, "Come over for dinner." β
There is no meat for dinner in the Taoist temple, two wild vegetables, a few white buns, and a mountain spring.
"You shouldn't drink tea when eating, and we'll make tea for you tomorrow when we pick new tea." Shen Che said.
Ji Cheng sat down at the table and tossed for a day, eating dry food at noon, and she was really hungry at this time.
It's just that Shen Che didn't move his chopsticks, but got up and took a cotton handkerchief over, "Why don't you wring it out when your hair ends are wet?" β
"Oh, just let it do it on its own." Ji Cheng was actually very impatient to wring his hair.
"You eat first." Shen Che walked behind Ji Cheng, picked up the ends of her hair and wrapped them in a cotton handkerchief and twisted them.
Ji Cheng's face is very thick-skinned, Shen Che said this, she really ate it first, not polite at all, anyway, Shen Che was very unkind to her most of the time.
Although the food of the Taoist temple is very simple, it is rare that the taste is really good, light and delicious, and the aftertaste is still a little sweet.
Shen Che was very patient, and Ji Cheng didn't even feel the feeling of being pulled on the hair behind him, which was better than Yu Qian'er serving. Regardless of whether it was true or not, at least at this moment, Ji Cheng felt a faint sweetness in his heart, if he could not be so rational, Ji Cheng thought that she would also be deceived by Shen Che.
It's just that there may be affection at this time, and when he turns around one day, there will be an infatuated woman crying.
Ji Cheng felt a move in his hand when he was stunned, but it was Shen Che who lowered his head and took a bite on the white bun she was holding.
Ji Cheng turned his head to look at Shen Che, he must have been hungry too, Ji Cheng suddenly felt that compared to Shen Che, he really didn't know how to care about people, or it should be said that she didn't know how to get along with men and women.
On the other hand, those women who have been liked and abandoned by Shen Che, but there is one who hates him, but I am afraid that he is still looking forward to his return. After all, he had been treated so gently by him.
Ji Cheng suddenly felt that she was really stupid, she had been acting rashly for so long, and she didn't know how to learn when she had a ready-made role model in front of her, what did she and Shen Cheqiang do, could it be that he would recall it in the future, and then make it easier for him to start with pain?
No matter what happens in the future, Ji Cheng knows in his heart that even if there is no benefit to being able to leave a glimmer of warmth in Shen Che's heart, there is absolutely no harm.
Thinking about things in her heart, but Ji Cheng's subordinates were not slow at all, she took a white bun again, rolled a little wild vegetables on the tip of the white bun, and turned her head to feed it to Shen Che's mouth.
"For me?" Shen Che's slightly stunned expression made Ji Cheng really want to laugh out loud for a moment.
"Yes, it's hard for my cousin to be hungry and twist my hair first." Ji Cheng said with a smile.
A smile flowed from Ji Cheng's eyes, and his starry eyes were bright.
Shen Che took a bite of the white bun from Ji Cheng's hand, "The craftsmanship of this Taoist kitchen is good. β
After dinner, Shen Che went to bathe next door, Ji Cheng rubbed his sore waist because of the bumps in the horseback riding, and looked at the bed in the guest house, which had been re-paved by Shen Che, and the sheets brought from home were spread.
Ji Cheng instantly made up her mind to take this guest room for herself, so she took off her shoes, lay down directly, closed her eyes and took a nap.
It's just that sleep improvement is not always good now, Ji Cheng just wants to take a nap, but when she wakes up again, it is when Shen Che helps her undress.
Before Ji Cheng came back to his senses, he reflexively grasped the neckline, and Shen Che's fingers gently picked up her belt, "I see that you are uncomfortable sleeping in your clothes." β
Ji Cheng still grabbed his neckline.
Shen Che lowered his head and whispered in Ji Cheng's ear: "Even if I want to do something, I can't mess around in other people's Taoist temples, right?" β
As he spoke, Shen Che had already skillfully unbuttoned Ji Cheng's shirt and peeled it back from her shoulder, Ji Cheng moved his hand cooperatively, and his coat was gone, revealing the white silk shirt inside.
"Sleep." Shen Che kissed Ji Cheng's forehead and got up to help her blow out the lamp.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, Ji Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, although it was actually meaningless to be reserved, but the hurdle in his heart was always unpassable.
At night, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and he was so thirsty that he woke up from his sleep, Ji Cheng got up from the bed, and before he walked to the table, he saw the person sitting cross-legged on a chair by the wall by the moonlight.
Ji Cheng was so frightened that he took two steps back before realizing that it was Shen Che.
"Thirsty?" Shen Che slowly opened his eyes and stood up with his legs stretched.
"What are you doing here?" Ji Cheng clutched his chest and said, he didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and ran to her room to meditate, what was wrong with this?
Shen Che walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for Ji Cheng and said with a smile: "In such a strange place, you are asleep?" If I don't watch for you at night, you won't know if someone carries you away. β
Ji Cheng took the tea and drank it in one gulp, then handed the teacup to Shen Che, and he naturally poured another cup for her.
Ji Cheng naturally didn't believe Shen Che's words, but he really couldn't explain his behavior better, because she was born too beautiful, so she was reluctant to sleep and kept staring?
