Chapter 60: Nanyang Fanwai (3) Like Water Shaohua
A qiē seems unexpected, but it seems to be reasonable.
I don't know when it started, my mood has changed a lot, I used to be as still as water, but recently my love has always been up and down. Some are happy and some are sad, but they all arise because of that one person.
I often wonder what I was happy about and what I was sad about, but I can't remember a single thing.
I occasionally think that in the future, I will be with her, and the two of them will walk through the past hundred years hand in hand, enjoy flowers and warm wine together, watch snow and poetry together, and travel the rivers and lakes together. And in the past hundred years of joy, she has become more mature little by little, blooming her beauty to the extreme little by little, and little by little her face is old and decaying, and finally she only leaves me with a handful of loess.
And I, I still have a few hundred years to go, and my face is still the same.
For the first time, I felt that it was a joy for two people to grow old hand in hand. If I were a normal person and I was so much older than her, then I would be older than her. That's just right, when I was fifty years old, I grew her first gray hair; When I was sixty years old, I gave her a cane; When I was 70 years old, I went to taste a ginseng soup that tonified the yuan. In this case, I tried them all for her first, and when she was old, I could teach her one by one so that she would not be so overwhelmed.
Because I'm her master, I should teach her everything, shouldn't I?
Qinghuan lay in my arms, lazily looking coquettish, and I could clearly hear the words she muttered.
I buried my face in her hair, took a deep breath of the sweet aroma of her hair, and just said, "What did you say?" ”
She muttered, "Nothing. ”
“…… Cheapskate. I chuckled and withdrew my hand, clasped my hands together on a handful of her green silks, and tied her hair with the graying headband.
"What nonsense are you talking about, why am I stingy......" Qinghuan muttered slightly sideways, grabbing the hem of my clothes, "You are my own, you talk to others, I naturally want to ...... Angry. ”
"So what am I going to do? Locked in the house, I only let you look at you alone for the rest of my life, and I can't talk to you alone? ”
"That's a good idea, when you get back to the north punishment, you can try it." Qinghuan looked up at me with a smile, and the red cinnabar between her eyebrows jumped happily, burning like a thin red sun.
I just smiled and tied her hair carefully. I only thought in my heart, how good it would be if this time never went again.
I never said a word of love to her in person, but I had to be her in my heart.
"Master." Qinghuan opened his mouth to call me again.
"How?"
"If I call you Master for the rest of my life, will you mind? …… I know that there is not just a master-apprentice relationship between us, I can call you more names when I am alone, but I don't want to, I just want to call you Master, for a lifetime, okay? ”
I gently stroked her long hair and replied softly, "Naturally, it's good." ”
"Why don't you ask why?" She grabbed my hand and gently rubbed the thin callus on the outside of my right index finger.
"If you like it, it doesn't matter why."
She didn't speak, she just smiled more happily, kissed my finger gently, and kept murmuring, "Master...... Master...... Master......"
My ears were a little hot, and when I lowered my eyes, I caught a glimpse of a cluster of beautiful and lovely flowers growing in the crack of the stone at hand, and quietly picked a few of them, and did not enter the light and happy hair.
We stopped by the creek for a while before we walked back. The carriage side Jun Bridge has already taken care of everything, just waiting for us to come back and set off.
These days, Jun Qiao's face has always been a little tired, thinking that it is the many affairs of the Ranhua Valley that suppresses her. She lost her mother at a young age, and now she is about to lose her father, obviously a poor woman who should be crying in front of her sick father's bed, but now she is suppressing all the feelings in her heart, running back and forth in the rivers and lakes. Weighing the pros and cons, it is up to her to think about negotiations. There are characters with heads and faces in the rivers and lakes, who are not secretly nesting a handful of bitter tears.
We got into the carriage together, Junqiao, Qinghuan and I sat in the carriage, and the three of us sat outside to drive. The interior of the carriage is very spacious and well-stocked, like a shrunken mobile home.
In order to pass the time, Junqiao took out a game of chess, the chessboard and chess pieces are specially made, in order to prevent the carriage from shaking and scattering the chess game, the chessboard is magnetic.
So they played chess and chatted like this, and time passed quickly, and two days had passed in the carriage before I knew it.
Although there was a lot of food on the carriage, after all, there were six mouths, and after two days, it was almost consumed, so Junqiao sent Wuji to stop in this town to replenish food and rest for the night.
This town belongs to a corner of Fengjia City, the town is surrounded by peach trees on all sides, the town is not big, and it seems that it is not a place that is easy to provoke.
Junqiao made a generous move and asked for six rooms for six people. After we got everything done, we went into our respective rooms to rest. Because there were a lot of people, I didn't say anything to Qinghuan. She seemed a little tired, and when she went up the stairs, I stood at the corner of the stairs and watched her enter the room alone and silently.
The night is cool, and the bed sheets of the inn are quite thin. I lay down on the bed after showering and tugged the quilt over my shoulders, but I still felt a chill.
There was a sudden "knock, knock" on the door twice. I felt a hint of joy in my heart, hugged the quilt and half-got up and said, "Come in." ”
Qinghuan looked like he had just bathed, wearing only close-fitting profane clothes, his long hair was casually draped, and there seemed to be a layer of mist around the whole person. Holding the moon-white robe she wore during the day, she smiled and carefully closed the door and walked towards my bedside.
"Master, haven't slept yet?"
"I fell asleep and got up again." I looked at her and took a dry towel from the bedside, "Come here, I'll wipe your hair." ”
She was very well-behaved, and sat on the edge of the bed according to my words, still rubbing her robe in her hand, and said, "I came here to ask, do you have any needle and thread in this room?" I didn't know where I accidentally scratched a small hole in the sleeve of my clothes, and I wanted to sew it myself. ”
"I just saw you at the table over there, I'll give it to you later." I sat on my knees on the bed, straightened up, and rubbed her hair thinly.
"Master, your body is more fragrant after bathing." Qinghuan grabbed one of the corners of my sleeve and smiled.
I bowed my head and didn't answer. From my point of view, her unclosed placket was slightly open, revealing a little bit of water on her fair and warm skin, and the dim candlelight reflected on it, which made people's hearts itch.
When did this child grow into this kind of trouble?
All I know is that time has polished her more and more steadily, her words have become more and more gentle, and little by little she has grown up, and her thinking has become more mature, and she knows when to do things and when to say things. But I never realized what "feminine" was in her.
Qinghuan noticed my stop and turned her head to look at me. I set aside the towel in my hand, pinched her chin, and kissed it.
She smiled at the corner of her lips, then wrapped one hand around my waist and the other on the side of my face, secretly trying to lower me a little. When I was fully seated on the bed, she lifted herself up slightly, and her whole body was over me.
As she moved, the jade hanging from her neck with a black rope fell out of the placket of her clothes and fell right on the side of my face, warm as water.
In this piece of jade, my own blood melted.
And she has worn this piece of jade close to her body for so many years.
After kissing for a while, Qinghuan turned her face sideways and hugged me tightly, she was still panting slightly, and her lips were close to my ear and whispered: "I was just in the room, I felt that the weather was a little cold, thinking that your body is usually cold, will it be warm for half a day, so I took an excuse to come to you." ”
"I know." I replied softly.
"Then I'll leave you to warm the bed, and if I accidentally fall asleep in a while, remember to wake me up early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, it will be a little bad for them to see the young valley master. Her hand touched my hair, rubbed it gently, pulled me to lie down, and pulled the quilt intimately.
She looked a little tired, and she seemed to be holding something in her mind.
I didn't close my eyes, I quietly watched her fall asleep with her eyes closed, watching her slowly breathe more evenly and long, and fall into a deep sleep.
I nestled the horns again and found a comfortable position to sleep next to her.
I used to sleep lightly, and I woke up before dawn the next day. Qinghuan was still asleep, with one hand on my waist, breathing slowly. I carefully removed her hand, straightened my clothes, and slowly got up.
Outside the window, the sky was foggy, but fortunately, the candle on the table had not yet burned out. I put on a single coat, found the dress that Qinghuan brought last night at the foot of the bed, flipped to the cuffs, and really found a small tear.
Of course, she came to me with an excuse and slept with me, but what she could subconsciously and casually bring must also have a basis. So I thought last night that I would take a look before dawn, and if it really broke, I would make up for her.
I always feel that I have done too little for her, and I am not good at expressing too strong feelings, and many times I will be a little worried that I am too bad at speaking, and she will not be unhappy. But I don't really worry because I know she loves me and will never really get tired of me.
I found a needle and thread, and I sewed it carefully by the dim candlelight. But I've never held this thing for more than 100 years, and I rarely see anyone else use it, so it's a bit laborious to sew it.
After a long time, the gap was not large, and I sewed it tightly and well.
After putting the clothes back in their place, I wanted to go back to bed and continue to rest, but when I got into bed, I happened to catch a glimpse of Qinghuan turning over slightly, the flowing jade around her neck was crooked, and the crystal red flowing jade was spread out on the warm skin, which was conspicuously tight.
A thought popped into my mind.
With a smile, I lightly plucked the flowing jade around her neck, returned to the table, picked up the previous embroidery needle, carried some internal force up, and carved a small sentence on the flowing jade:
May it be like Liang Shangyan, and see you every year.
A very simple wish, if it is really realized, I will have no regrets in this life.
I took the jade and looked at it carefully, walked back to the bed, and carefully helped Qinghuan put it back.
Xu is my hand is too cold, accidentally touched her neck, she muttered something in her mouth, opened her eyes in a daze, saw me for the first time, the corners of her eyes turned red, and then tried to get up and hugged me.
I didn't know what was going on, so I had to hug her back: "What, I woke you up?" ”
"No...... I just had a dream, a very bad dream......" She opened her voice a little hoarse, and a little crying, "God...... Is it dawn? ”
"It's not bright, rest for a while?" I soothed her by stroking her long hair in distress.
"No...... Don't sleep...... What did you just do? ”
"Didn't do anything." I replied lightly.
After being silent for a while, her breathing seemed to calm down, and she turned to a softer tone: "Why don't you ask, what dreams did I have?" ”
"Since it's a bad dream, it doesn't matter."
She chuckled lightly, and her tone was a little strange: "Master, do you ......have anything to hide?" she paused and closed her mouth again.
I didn't know what she was trying to say, but I didn't ask.
After a long time, Qinghuan asked again: "Master, will you hate me and hate me for ruining your way?" …… You have been cultivating the Tao for more than 100 years, and there should have been no me in your life, if it weren't for me to intervene in this foot, you would still be cultivating your Tao......"
I interrupted her leisurely: "Qinghuan, you know, the so-called Tao gives birth to one, one life to two, two to three, and three to all things. And now to me, everything is inferior to you, so what's the use of me cultivating? ”
She hugged me tighter, and after a few moments, I felt a wetness on the side of my face, clearly her tears.
In the end, I was just a mere mortal, and in the end, I still disobediently said what was the use of cultivating.
But I hope that I can be common with her every year, and I will be safe every year, and I will live up to this water.
