Chen Qiuniang didn't speak, only twisted her head to the side, raised her eyes to look at the mountains in the distance, the autumn sun fell all over the mountains and the mountains were full of gold, the autumn colors were bright and brilliant, like a gouache painting with heavy ink and color.

"Yun'er." Zhang Ci stood up, bypassed a few small rhododendron trees, and stood in front of her, blocking most of the autumn sun projected on the post.

She withdrew her gaze and looked up at him as she approached. He turned against the light, but because he was standing very close, he could see that he was frowning and looking at her very aggrievedly.

"What?" She asked calmly.

"Don't do that." His tone was pleading.

Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes, looked at the repeated embroidered patterns on his robe, and said calmly: "Everyone in the world says that Zhang Ergongzi, wise and brave, is a last resort, and there is no one in the world who can compare with it." ”

That is nothing but the praise of the world. They have never approached me, nor have they understood me. And how do you know that I don't panic? Zhang Ci said as he leaned down to catch her gaze.

Chen Qiuniang buried her gaze lower, staring at the dirt on her hard boots. Zhang Ci saw that she didn't look at him, so he sighed and said, "Yun'er, if you are annoyed with me, you can do anything, but don't ignore me like this." I am very afraid of you like this. ”

"Will Zhang Ergongzi also be afraid?" Chen Qiuniang smiled, her heart was empty, there was a kind of pain and sadness of a strong wind, and her tone lost her calm and became bitter.

"Yun'er, I don't like you like this. In my life, I have lost so much, I survived one killing after another as a child, and I was finally forced to kill my companions. After that, he was forced to cut his mentor again. The nominal father of the family respects me and fears me. Even though my brothers and sisters have a good relationship with me, they still keep their own duties. As for a few close friends, they each bear the responsibility of family honor, but if there is a trace of conflict of interests in their respective families, the friendship can be erased at any time. As for the Eighteen Horsemen, they were born and died with me, but they were only loyal to me. I thought this life would be so desolate, but I met you. Zhang Ci said loudly, and the last sentence dragged on for a long time.

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, tears immediately burst out of her eyes.

The good old days are vivid. And the loneliness of what he speaks of. She felt the same way. She originally thought that this life would be so desolate, but she never thought that she would have such an adventure, come through time and space, and meet him. Then. At the top of the mountain. Under a full moon. When she heard him say this, she fell in love with him in an instant, and she loved him so much that she couldn't help herself. She even thought: maybe this is providence. I came through time and space to meet such a person.

Later, he did so much for her. She only felt that the love between each other was the purest and most beautiful love since the beginning of heaven and earth, as beautiful as a peerless brocade. But now, this brocade has been slashed alive. Although it has not yet reached the final 100% conclusion, there are all kinds of signs that what Chai Yu said is not all false.

"You're crying." Zhang Ci whispered, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms and hugged her tightly, patted her on the back and said while comforting, "Don't cry, those hardships are over, and it is the best gift from God that we can meet each other." ”

When Chen Qiuniang heard him say this, she wanted to sarcastically say, "Are you happy that you are closer to immortality", but the matter has not yet come to light, even if she has a thorn in her heart, she must not speak falsely and hurt innocent people. Therefore, she endured not to speak, only leaned on his warm chest, surrounded by his breath, fresh and clean, and a sweet aroma of alcohol. This kind of breath made her intoxicated, and in the past two years, the two of them have traveled all over the country, and every night, she smells this breath in his arms and sleeps.

In two years, it has long become a habit. So much so that every night after separating from Xiangzhou, without his breath and embrace, without his arms as pillows, she couldn't sleep.

"Yun'er." He lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

"Hmm." She reflexively agreed.

"I've said it many times before. Now, I still want to tell you that when I meet you, my life will be meaningful, so that I will not feel lonely, and I will not have to envy my ancestors. You are more important than my life. Zhang Ci said slowly in Chen Qiuniang's ear, biting every word clearly and solemnly, as if he was swearing to the sky.

Chen Qiuniang closed her eyes in a dejected manner, even if she was as smart as her, she didn't want to pursue anything at this moment, even if it was really as Chai Yu said, she was just a container for him to raise jade spirits, and she was destined to be killed, and she didn't want to care about anything at this moment.

"Yun'er." He shouted again.

"Hmm." She responded to him with less indifference and sharpness than before.

"Remember, you are more to me than my life." He stubbornly emphasized while holding her tighter.

Chen Qiuniang involuntarily stretched out her hands to wrap her arms around him, and replied in his arms: "I remember." ”

"If it is good for you, even if it is against the heavens, I am willing to bear all the blame." Zhang Ci sighed softly, and then a light kiss fell on her ear.

Chen Qiuniang's body trembled, and he muttered to himself: "In my life, there have been ups and downs, standing at the top of power, but what I want is to retreat to the mountains and forests with my beloved, study food, have children, and grow old together." It's just that, or maybe there's such a thing as fate! ”

His voice became lower and lower, but Chen Qiuniang frowned, thinking about what he said, there were many doubts, but she was always silent, never asked, only obediently leaned on his arms, the two sat in the rhododendron forest with strong mountain winds, a ray of sunlight was projected from the gap in the post, and occasionally a little squirrel jumped in the forest, moving very fast.

The two embraced, and I don't know how long it took for him to ease his feelings a little, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the matter of the soul was entangled in the fate of you and me." Two years ago, I brought you here to live in seclusion. I mentioned this to you before, do you remember? ”

"Yes." Chen Qiuniang replied softly. Remembering that he left Shuzhong back then, Zhang Ci said that he wanted to return to the mountains and forests with her, and go to the place where he studied and practiced swords when he was a child, where deep in the mountains, no one bothered, and the food around him was the best.

"That's what I'm talking about." He said, looking at the scenery in the distance.

Chen Qiuniang also raised her eyes to look at the scenery in the distance, in the afternoon of early autumn, the sunlight is clear and clear, the leaves of tall trees have been yellow, the evergreen plants are verdant, the autumn colors of the mountains, the mountains are undulating, the strange rocks are craggy, and the peaks have their own shapes. There are flocks of birds flying in the mountains and wilderness, and during this period, there are countless ravines and streams, which is indeed a good place to retreat.

"At that time, I was studying and practicing swords on the mountain peak in front of me." Zhang Ci said, pointing to the towering mountain peaks in the distance.

Chen Qiuniang looked at the mountain, it seemed that it was also an abrupt mountain rising from the ground, the same as the stone forest formation in the mountain behind Liuhe Town. However, it seems that only this mountain has risen from the ground. And Liuhe Town and Yunnan Stone Forest have more than one such peak. (To be continued......)
