A.D. 630 A.D

Aolai country faces the sea on three sides, and is warm like spring all year round. The whole country covers an area www.biquge.info of about 10,000 square kilometers, but the population is only more than 5,000 people, which can be called a vast and sparsely populated country.

The country is rich in fishery resources, rich in a variety of fish, shellfish, as well as a variety of seafood. The local population makes a living from fishing, and also grows some grains. They salted the fish, dried them in the sun, and sold them overseas. Fish skins are often used to make clothes and various handicrafts.

The local residents are all ingenious and have a variety of skills in sewing clothes. They made clothes into various shapes and styles, and then wore them on important festivals, and some sold them to merchants from other places, and then used the money to buy various daily necessities, such as clay pots, wine shops, utensils, silk threads, furniture, and so on.

Aolai only has a language, but no written language, they teach their craft by word and deed, and when they need to remember, they use a rope to tie a knot. Over time, there were more and more ropes used to keep notes, so much so that the ropes hung in front of the house and behind the house were full of knots, which looked like ivy climbing all over the walls.

There is a mountain in the northeast of Aolai Country, called Huaguo Mountain. The melons and fruits on the mountain are fragrant all year round, the strange peaks and different stones can be seen everywhere, the stream in the mountain collects more and more from top to bottom, and finally converges into a river, pours down at the broken wall, the water splashes, and the momentum is magnificent. There is a cave halfway up the mountainside, hidden behind the water curtain, called the water curtain cave. A few years ago, there was a macaque staying in the cave, and then because he followed Tang Seng West to learn scriptures, this cave was idle.

Meng Fanchen pulled Cui Ying through the water curtain, and it turned out that behind the water curtain was a dry and quiet place. The two of them walked forward, and after a few steps, a hole was clearly presented in front of them. There is a line of big characters written on both sides of the cave entrance, which reads: Water Curtain Cave Cave Sky; Huaguo Mountain blessed land.

"This is the legendary Water Curtain Cave! Meng Fanchen sighed secretly.

Didn't that famous Sun Monkey scold the Jade Emperor and Tang Seng in this hole, and then wave a big bowl of peacock feathers to drink wine and eat meat. Now that the monkey followed Tang Seng to the west to learn scriptures, it is estimated that the cave must be full of dust and cobwebs.

Meng Fanchen thought about it while pulling Cuiying into the cave, but he didn't expect that there was a different scenery in the cave. There is a lotus pond not far from the entrance of the cave, the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming brightly, the huge lotus leaves are spread on the water surface, and the lotus flowers are set off more and more beautiful and vivid. The water is crystal clear, and several small fish swim around in the water.

There is a row of lotus stones on the lotus pond, stepping on the lotus stones over the lotus pond, in front of you is a spacious hall,

There are stone tables and benches inside, as well as a stone bed. The bed was covered with tiger skins, and the walls were filled with pine oil and blazing torches. On the stone table are earthenware teapots and tea bowls, which have been used for a long time and have fallen a thick layer of dust on them.

The cave near the water source is overgrown with vines and plants that climb up the stone wall, and the dense leaves of the vines dot the whole stone wall with greenery. At the top of the stone wall, there was a small gap, through which a small beam of sunlight shone into the hole and shone on the crazy vines.

"If you hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have known that there was such a cave in this water curtain." Cui Ying sat on the stone bench, playing with the teapot.

"I've heard about a water hole here, so I've taken the opportunity of this dragon boat race to check it out. I didn't expect it to be much better than I thought. ”

"Well, it's a good place. Although there is no carved gallery and painting wall, singing and dancing, it is pure and elegant, and it is comfortable. There are endless melons and fruits on the mountain, and you can hide from the rain in the cave, play chess, and also chant poems, play the piano and sing songs. There is a big bed to rest on when you are tired. If you are thirsty, you can use the mountain spring to make tea. Fun, fun. You said that if we don't have a place to play in the future, we will come here to play, okay? Cui Ying turned around in the middle of the ground and said with infinite longing.

"Yes, yes, but if I'm done with you, will you come here with me?" Meng Fanchen said tentatively.

This secret has been accumulated in his heart for a long time, and if he doesn't tell it again, it is estimated that he will go crazy. Since he went to Cui Ying to be her personal bodyguard, Cui Ying treats him like a best friend, but he knows his true identity, so the distance between him and Cui Ying is neither far nor close. This dilemma lasted for half a year, and he didn't want to go on like this.

If he continues to hide it, sooner or later, Cui Ying will scold him for being a hypocrite after knowing the truth, what will be the plot of deliberately approaching her, and maybe he will also call him a shameless person, lewdness, slut, etc. No, he didn't want to make the situation so awkward. It's better to say that he will be clean in the morning, as for whether Cui Ying will stay by his side after saying it, it all depends on his own creation.

"What's the matter? Look at your serious appearance, as if you are hiding some big secret. Cui Ying quipped.

"I ......" Meng Fanchen wanted to speak and stopped.

"Is there really something hiding from me?" Cui Ying was a little anxious. She looked at Meng Fanchen's angular face, and couldn't imagine that this secret was actually related to gender.

"Do you remember the last two lines of 'Mulan Poem'?" …… The male rabbit's feet are fluttering, the female rabbit's eyes are blurred, and the double rabbit walks on the ground. ’”

"Remember, this poem is about Mulan disguising herself as a man to serve in the army for her father, what does this have to do with you? Wait, isn't it ......"

"Yes, I ...... I'm actually a man dressed as a woman......" Meng Fanchen said hesitantly, he didn't dare to look at Cui Ying's eyes, so he had to avoid her gaze everywhere. Although this answer embarrassed him, he felt much more relaxed at the moment, and he no longer had to carry this secret and suffer from gains and losses as before.

"Male...... Men dressed as women? Isn't it, why haven't I seen it after staying with you for so long? Cui Ying's face turned red as soon as she brushed it. She didn't believe her ears. This person who has been with him day and night for half a year, and is like a sister, is actually a man, so ...... Isn't it...... If this is known to others, how will she live?

The more Cui Ying thought about it, the more ashamed she became, and the more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She rushed to Meng Fanchen's side, smashed the man with red makeup with her powder fist, and said with tears in her eyes: "Why didn't you say it earlier...... I've shown you all my body, and now, I only have one ...... to die," Cui Ying said, running out of the cave.

"Hey, Miss Cuiying, you wait......" Meng Fanchen was worried that Cuiying was doing something stupid, so he hurriedly chased him out. It's all your own fault, I wish I had told her earlier. If Cui Ying has three longs and two shorts, she will have no face to live. Meng Fanchen blamed himself.

Out of the cave and looking at the rushing river, Cui Ying shouted to the sky: "Father, mother, children are not filial, and I will repay you for your nurturing grace in the next life." After shouting, he was about to jump down with his eyes closed.

A lady with such courage to end her life, Meng Fanchen was stunned. However, he reacted immediately, and then grabbed Cui Ying's sleeve. Anyway, Cui Ying had made up her mind, broke free of her sleeves, and jumped into the flowing waterfall. Meng Fanchen grabbed half of his sleeve and regretted not falling. In a hurry, he also jumped down. It was only after the jump that he realized that he was a landlubber......
