After walking along the mountain road for a while, I felt that my body was a little fluttery, and my head was dizzy, and I couldn't help but shake my head vigorously.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yuancheng noticed my abnormality and asked uneasily.

"Nothing." I subconsciously vetoed it, but I don't know if it was because I was shaking too hard, I fell into Gu Yuancheng's arms as soon as my feet were weak.

Gu Yuancheng frowned, and then picked me up horizontally and put me on a stone beside the mountain road.

"Is that good for a hard mouth?" Gu Yuancheng raised his hand to cover my forehead, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with me, he withdrew his hand again.

"It's just a little chest tightness and dizziness, it's not a big deal." I explained, but I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, "It's strange to say, I always feel a little weird in my body these days, could it be that Meiyan's medicine is too bitter?" ”

If I could see it with my eyes now, I would definitely be able to detect that something was wrong in Gu Yuancheng's eyes, but there was no 'if' in the world, and Gu Yuancheng just said that it was because my body was too weak and I was too tired to climb the mountain.

I easily believed him, but I didn't have any suspicion.

Many years later, I would occasionally recall the past years and today's mountain climbing trip in the bright sunshine, but my heart turned back and forth, and there was only a faint sigh.

"I'll carry you up." After resting on the side of the mountain road for a while, Gu Yuancheng suddenly proposed to me.

I was stunned for a moment, and then shook my head, "I pray that God is pious, and I should go up step by step." ”

Gu Yuancheng didn't say anything, neither insisted nor forced, just helped me to walk up the mountain, and only when he stepped on the last step did he ask me, "Do you want to worship the gods devoutly, or do you want to find an excuse to avoid me?" ”

My face froze, and then I smiled slightly, "If you become my god one day, aren't I worshipping you devoutly?" ”

Gu Yuancheng didn't expect me to answer like this, and there were ripples in his heart.

"If there really is such a day." He leaned lightly on my shoulder and smiled slightly, "Who will be whose god?" ”

I don't know why, but when I heard him say with a smile on his face, which was clearly a declaration of war, I felt my cheeks burn as if I had been thrown into hot water.

"Ahem." I put my fist-clenched hand under my nose and coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Let's go." He chuckled and walked forward.

The pilgrims who came and went around looked at us from time to time, and some whispered voices also reached my ears at the same time, and some informal pilgrims even stepped forward to us and said, "Son and Mrs. are so harmonious, they are really envious of others." ”

Husband...... Madam.

I secretly took a deep breath, and I couldn't help but kick Gu Yuancheng, who was still holding me, away.

Gu Yuancheng kept holding back his laughter, and it wasn't until he walked to a secluded place that he burst out laughing, and the laughter was even harsher than the magic sound.

"You said you wanted to burn incense, what did you bring me here?" I suppressed the anger in my heart and asked with a cold face.

Although my eyes can't see, the place that Gu Yuancheng took me to was not only secluded, but also didn't even have any fireworks, and it would definitely not be in the Buddhist hall of the temple, but he didn't take me to the Buddhist hall, but took me here, but for what?

"Shen Qingzhi, why are you so naïve sometimes?" Gu Yuancheng laughed at me, and suddenly let go of me.

"What do you mean?" I felt that something was wrong, so I immediately asked him, but his breath disappeared.

"Gu Yuancheng?" I shouted tentatively, but there was nothing around me except the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.

I cautiously took two steps forward, and touched my hands around, "Gu Yuancheng, you come out for me, don't pretend to be a ghost!" ”

No, nothing, no sound of his footsteps, no sound of his breathing, not even the sound of a slightly undulating heartbeat, he ...... Really gone.

I was left alone here, in this strange, deserted place.

My heart thorned slightly, and my feet stopped, but I didn't know whether I stepped on something bulging or tripped over the hem of my skirt, and I leaned forward suddenly.

"Gu Yuancheng, don't let me see you again!" With a low curse, I closed my eyes and prepared to accept the fate that would follow.

The chuckle suddenly sounded in my ears, Gu Yuancheng hugged me and muttered in a low voice, "You say that, it really makes me sad." ”

Hearing his voice again, an inexplicable sense of anger overwhelmed all my sanity at once, and I grabbed his shirt and yelled, "Gu Yuancheng, you're not sick in the brain, right?" Is this kind of game fun? Or do you just like to see me embarrassed? Tell you Gu Yuancheng, the person I hate the most in my life, Shen Qingzhi, is you! ”

Gu Yuancheng didn't speak, nor did he move, if it weren't for the fact that his shirt was still in my hand, I almost thought that he had disappeared again.

Time passes little by little, in this quiet, only the breeze rises, only the grass and trees are deep.

After the venting roar, my sanity quickly returned, but in this situation, I didn't know whether I should let go of his shirt and apologize to him, or continue to hold him like this. Weichang

"I just wanted to show you something." Gu Yuancheng suddenly spoke, and a round, furry thing was stuffed by him into my hand holding his shirt.

I let go of my hand and grasped what he had given me.

It's a fruit.

"Peaches?" I guess.

"Hmm." He answered.

"I ......" I lowered my head and clutched the peach he gave me with both hands, "I didn't know you were picking this, I ...... I didn't mean to be angry with you. ”

Gu Yuancheng seemed to nod, but he didn't speak.

"I ...... I just ..... "I suddenly felt panicked, and I wanted to find the perfect reason to explain it to him, but when it came to my mouth, I only said two words: "Afraid." ”

Gu Yuancheng was shocked, and I was also shocked, I never thought that one day I would say these two words to him, to my old enemy.

It's not a good thing, I know, but I'm going to say it anyway.

"Green Branches." Gu Yuancheng hugged me gently, he didn't say anything else, but I suddenly felt sad.

"When I was very young, I was thrown out by my grandmother, who privately sent someone to throw me into the wilderness." I blinked, thinking that there should be tears at this time, but in fact, I wanted to laugh, laughing, "It was winter, it hadn't snowed yet, but I didn't even have a decent warm clothes." ”

"A son of a family like you must have never experienced the feeling of being frozen and unconscious, right?" My voice was a little trance-like, or rather, my thoughts had become trance-like, "It's really uncomfortable, it's inconvenient to walk, it's hard to even crawl on the ground." ”

"I always remember that day, when I used the dagger I had hidden with me to cut open the cloth bag, I was the only one in the world."

"At that time, I really didn't understand, why my grandmother couldn't tolerate me like this, I obviously did my best according to her requirements, people in the capital, who didn't praise the son of Wei Yinghou's Mansion for being talented and intelligent, and he was a genius in the world? Later, when I begged for a long way back to the Hou Mansion, I realized that it was my father's concubine who gave birth to a son, and I had become an abandoned son in my grandmother's way. ”

"Gu Yuancheng, don't you think my life is ridiculous?"

"Green Branches." Gu Yuancheng didn't answer my question, but let go of me, and covered my hands with my hands holding peaches, "Do you know where this peach is?" ”

I shook my head blankly.

"This is where we first met." Gu Yuancheng said softly.

"Yuantokuji Temple?" I was surprised, and then I realized.

In Biancheng, it is true that only Yuande Temple will be so prosperous.

"That day was the last time I came to the temple with my mother to burn incense and worship the Buddha." Gu Yuancheng seemed to be suppressing something, but his voice sounded very calm, and he pulled me and found a clean place to sit down.

"Actually, when I was young, I wasn't a child who liked my family." Gu Yuancheng said to me.

I was stunned, "You are a real concubine of the Guogong Mansion and a young talent, how can you not be loved by the elders in the family?" ”

"What about my sister-in-law? As long as my mother is willing, the Gong Qin Guo Mansion can have many sons-in-law. Gu Yuancheng sneered, "Shen Qingzhi, it's not only your Wei Yinghou Mansion that has conspiracy and calculation. ”

I pursed my lips for a long time before asking, "They...... Why ......"

"Because I'm 'pretty like a peach in three springs, and pure as a chrysanthemum in nine autumns', I am a man in vain." Gu Yuancheng said coldly.

I was suddenly silent, because even if Gu Yuancheng didn't say it, I vaguely guessed why Gu Yuancheng would break with his mother.

"My mother never knew that I was always happy when she brought me here." Gu Yuancheng's voice faded, "Because only here, she will say that I am her son, even if she actually just wants to beg the Buddha statue to satisfy her desires." ”

"Shen Qingzhi, in this world, you are not the most pitiful one, and life is never ridiculous, what is ridiculous is just people."

Gu Yuancheng's words were very light, so light that even the wind could easily drown them out, but somehow, I heard his words clearly.

"Gu Yuancheng." After a long silence, I asked him, "Do you often use this phrase to comfort yourself?" ”

Gu Yuancheng's figure paused for a moment, and said with a smile, "In the past, it was indeed comforting, but it will not be in the future." ”

I gritted my teeth, and I really felt the urge to smash the peach in my hand into his face.

"You used to hit me with a peach pit, but now I won't be hit by you again." Gu Yuancheng obviously saw through my mind and said provocatively.

I didn't really do it, after all, I couldn't see him now, I just approached his face and asked him with a smile, "Gu Yuancheng, shall we pick a few more peaches?" I am hungry. ”
