"Don't look far, it's actually far away from here." Zhang Ci said.

Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but answer, so she said: "I have lived in the mountains, but I know that the opposite mountain answered the call, and I walked back and forth for several days. ”

"Yes. Once, after I finished practicing my sword, I found that Master had gone out of the mountain to run errands. I thought to myself that I would go up to the hill in front of me to see, for I always saw a few goshawks flying in that direction. Zhang Ci stood up, took Chen Qiuniang and moved his steps, pointed to a faint mountain peak in the distance and said, "Look, the one that looks like a mushroom." ”

Chen Qiuniang looked at the place where his gesture was pointing, and saw the mountain peaks that looked like mushrooms, but she didn't speak. If it was the same as before, she was afraid that she would have been chattering and asking questions a long time ago. Now, because of the estrangement, Chen Qiuniang has become silent.

"Every day, you can see goshawks flying up the mountain. I always thought that there must be a goshawk's nest there, and I would go and see it while Master was away. It looked very close, but I didn't arrive after walking for three hours, and I was afraid that the master would come back and see that I was not there, so I quickly turned back, but I was still caught by the master. Zhang Ci recalled that pleasant time, and his tone was full of joy.

Chen Qiuniang looked at this handsome face, looked at the expression between her eyebrows, and remembered the bits and pieces since they met each other, and fell into endless doubts again: Is the past a qiē really a conspiracy and illusion? This man who is so gentle with himself will really show his hideous face in the end?

She really couldn't believe it, but she couldn't believe it all. It's a terrible feeling, like boiling a frog in warm water.

Chen Qiuniang's thoughts were flying, and she looked at him in a daze. And he still looked at the qiē around him. Tell her about the two most peaceful years in her memory. At that time, he practiced swords, read, learned the art of war, set up formations, and studied the patriarch's classics in this mountain.

In his spare time, he went down to the river to catch fish, shrimp, crabs and mussels, caught pheasants, badgers and foxes in the forest, or shot wild boars, birds and hares with bows and arrows, picked wild fruits and vegetables in baskets, charcoal-roasted, fired, stewed and steamed in mud, and so on. In his spare time. His only hobby is eating.

He was able to eat everything around him. He even hallucinated because of eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and was picked up by his master and thrown into the cold river water, and it took several days to recover his breath.

"At that time, it was so jolly." Zhang Ci was immersed in good memories.

Chen Qiuniang stood beside him. Every now and then, thoughts break down. She always thought: if there were no soul events. There is no such thing as a jade spirit. The two of them retreated here, and it couldn't have been a better ending. The scenery is picturesque and the ingredients are everywhere. Surrounded by handsome guys, in this life and this life, white-headed to old age. What a beautiful picture it should be, what a complete happiness.

But is there really perfection in the world?

Thinking of this, she looked at the mountains in the distance in a daze. Zhang Ci was still saying: "Yun'er, do you know that after the poisonous mushroom incident woke up, the master asked, 'I'm not afraid of poisoning', and I made strange things to eat all day long." I replied, 'I'm afraid the greatest pleasure in this life is what I have left.' My master also gave me a little more elegant fun, saying something like 'a gentleman is far away from cooking'. Guess how I answered? ”

He looked back at her and saw her looking at the mountains in the distance in a daze, so he pulled her arm and shouted loudly, "Lady, I ask you." ”

Chen Qiuniang heard him shout "lady", in a trance, as if she was still walking around together, she responded and asked: "I just enjoyed the beautiful scenery, what do you ask me?" ”

Zhang Ci muttered like a child, and said what Fang had just said again, and then said seriously: "I'm asking you to guess how I will answer Master." ”

How does he answer? Chen Qiuniang thought about him a little at that time, after killing like raising Gu, he finally became the patriarch, although he was young, he already knew very well in his heart that his future must be involuntarily, and even many things would not follow his wishes.

"The only freedom in this life, I'm afraid it's just food." Chen Qiuniang analyzed for a moment and came to such a conclusion.

When Zhang Ci heard this, he suddenly stopped moving, and only looked at Chen Qiuniang in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Chen Qiuniang was also startled when she saw that his expression was different, and hurriedly asked.

"Those who know me are the only ones who have the ears of a lady." After a long time, he slowly spat out this sentence.

"I think there's something big about me. You're weird and scary. She said that her expression was not as cold as it was when she first saw it.

Zhang Ci smiled, still looking at her, but his eyes were wet with tears. He held her hands and said solemnly: "In this life, I can meet you, Zhang Ci will die without regrets." ”

Somehow, when Chen Qiuniang heard this, tears rolled down. He looked up and wiped her tears and said, "Don't cry, if we don't hurry, we will sleep in the mountains." Don't look at the mountain peak, and you know that the things in the mountain are far away. We're going to get home before sunset. ”

"At home?" Chen Qiuniang repeated softly, looking at him in a daze, and was surprised that he used the word "home".

"Yes. I want to live in seclusion with you, and grow old. He said.

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes and only asked, "How many days are there before the rice wine can be opened?" ”

"Gluttonous guy, three days to go." As he replied, he bent down to pick up her baggage, and said, "Yo, lady, your burden is quite heavy." ”

Chen Qiuniang was defeated in his intimate cry of a "lady", and the slightest resistance in his heart was abandoned. She thought to herself: That's it, that's it, even if it's a failure, let him go. I am willing to indulge in this beauty and not wake up, even if it is just an illusory illusion.

"When walking in the mountains, you must bring equipment for self-defense." She replied.

He smiled, showing his neat white teeth, looking a little silly, and just looked at it quietly. The mountain wind was fierce, making his unknotted hair dance in the wind, and the face under the autumn sun really made Chen Qiuniang unable to take his eyes off.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Qiuniang felt that his eyes were too hot, but in this pair of eyes, she was the first to be embarrassed, so she looked away and asked. And as soon as this sentence came out, Chen Qiuniang realized that when facing him, her tone was unconsciously coquettish, and she was a little woman.

"It's good that you're not mad at me." Zhang Ci whispered, his expression and tone relaxed.

Chen Qiuniang said "oh", and the next moment, he reached out and hugged her in his arms and said, "Yun'er, I love you more than my life." I swear to the sky: I will not do anything worthy of you for thousands of years, otherwise I will be thundered and my bones will be scattered. ”

"What do you say you are doing? If you did not believe in the gods and spirits, and did not believe that there are souls in the world. Now, I am a living soul from a thousand years later. What do you say you swear? Chen Qiuniang broke free from his embrace and reproached him. She didn't believe in any souls or gods before. But after experiencing these strange things, she has an inexplicable awe of gods, oaths, and fate.

It was also at this moment that I heard him say such a poisonous oath, and suddenly felt Wang Jiazhi's mood in "Lust and Caution": even if that person is bad, he is reluctant to make a mistake. (To be continued......)
