(Chapter 12) shallow water days dream of jade chrysanthemum
"Cut." I gave him a blank look.
Cen Xi didn't care about my contempt for him at all, and only pulled the flowers in his hand into his sleeves.
"The roast chicken made today is good." I said.
After thinking about it, I think it's better not to be too presumptuous.
was praised by me, Cen Xi didn't seem to appreciate it, he changed his sitting posture and moved away from me.
"If you want to eat again, do it yourself."
It's really vigilant, so I don't take the bait.
I'm a little sentimental.
"Brother, I'm hurt, can you bear it?"
Cen Xi nodded.
"Forbearance."
“……”
Good you ruthless and unrighteous negative man, hum!
I swished to my feet, Cen Xi looked up at me, I patted my clothes and went to catch fish in the creek.
If you can't eat grilled chicken, you can always eat grilled fish, right?
"Do you want me to help you?"
Cen Xi was a little worried.
I replied stiffly, "Get out!" ”
And then?
Then I went to catch the fish, but the fish was not caught, but splashed all over the water, and finally the fish was caught by Cen Xi.
Crackling sparks burst out of the pyre from time to time, and the flames flew everywhere. The two grilled fish on the fire continue to exude an enticing aroma, whether it attracts the light in the darkness or the gluttonous insects.
I held back my saliva and tried to look serious.
"The prince of a dignified country, where did you learn this skill?"
Cen Xi glanced at me, "Hungry?"
Are the royal family so direct?
I gritted my teeth, desperately trying to look away from the grilled fish, but I couldn't take my eyes off the grilled fish as if something was sticking to it.
Shen Qingzhi, Shen Qingzhi, where is your backbone?
"Gluttonous." In the end, I gave up struggling and was honest.
Cen Xi knocked on the firewood branch in his hand, and said, "But...... Why should I give you the fish I caught, the fish I grilled? ”
"You!" I glared at him.
"Huh?" He glared back at me.
As soon as the momentum withered, I held the sticks with both hands, leaned in the direction of Cen Xi, blinked, and looked at him pleadingly.
"His Royal Highness, the most noble prince of the Qin Kingdom, you are doing well, give me a common man a bite to eat, I am dying of hunger."
Seeing me like this, Cen Xi laughed sullenly.
"I'm afraid there will never be a second greedy prime minister like you in history."
I nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, what Your Highness said is that I am a greedy prime minister who has never been seen before or since...... Look, can this fish give me one?"
"Okay." Cen Xi was merciful, nodded and said, "As long as you recite a piece of the "Three Character Sutra" to me now, I will give you fish to eat." ”
I froze, and my mind went blank.
"Qingzhi?"
"Qingzhi?"
"Shen Qingzhi!"
I snapped back to my senses.
"What's wrong with you?" Cen Xi asked me suspiciously.
I lowered my eyes, and the paleness and hatred in my eyes flashed for a moment.
"It's fine."
I sat back in my seat, and the stick I was holding was thrown into the fire.
As soon as the fire lit up, it burst out, fluttering and sprinkling, like stars.
"If you are shy, you don't have to memorize this "Three Character Sutra".
Cen Xi handed me a grilled fish from the fire stand.
I looked at the oily grilled fish in his hand, smiled at him, and then took the grilled fish and ate it in a big gulp.
Cen Xi stayed away from me in disgust.
"It's a bad meal!"
I didn't bother to pay attention to him.
If he has the ability, he doesn't eat and is hungry.
After grinding for a long time, I pestered Cen Xi in the middle and grilled two more fish, the two of them picked up firewood to catch fish, and when we got a little lost, when we arrived at the small broken house after twists and turns, the moon overhead was already in the west.
"What about 'no regrets' that you said okay?"
I shrunk back, and let Qingsi be messy in the cold wind on the cliff head.
Cen Xi's body was obviously injured, but he didn't seem to be cold at all. Calmly walking to the hut, he stooped down and climbed in, and after a while he crawled out with a blanket.
"Wrap it up."
Cen Xi threw the blanket to me.
Isn't that the one I hate during the day?
I caught the blanket, and although I wanted to wrap myself in it immediately, I hesitated for the sake of face and didn't wrap it.
This is probably the so-called modern newspaper, right?
It's coming too fast!
Cen Xi didn't want to pay attention to the entanglement in my heart at all, he turned behind me, and before I could understand what he was going to do, I saw him reach out and push me out of the cliff.
"Help!"
At the last moment, I grabbed the big rock on one side.
"Do you want to murder?"
I was scared and my legs went limp.
Cen Xi glanced at me, said "idiot" with disdain, and walked to the edge of the cliff himself, then lifted his clothes and sat down.
"You!"
This guy!
"Instead of shivering there, let's look down." Cen Xi didn't look at me at all, "You only saw part of the beauty of Tianshu Valley." ”
Yes? Tianshu Valley?
I followed his words and looked down.
It wasn't as dark as I thought.
There's light in it.
The faint and gentle warm light envelops the elegant jade chrysanthemums swaying in the evening breeze, just like the earth gently caring for a kind of unknown and hope soaked in vitality.
How can chrysanthemums shine?
"Is it moonshine?" I looked up at the bright moon in the sky, "It is said that the chrysanthemums in Yuju Mountain are the most elegant, but it turns out that it does not only refer to its flower color and growth environment." ”
Jade chrysanthemum, jade chrysanthemum, its petals are like a piece of superb jade, and the bright moonlight falls on it, smudging and staining a layer of tulle.
Neither dazzling nor dull.
Cen Xi shook his head.
"Take a closer look."
I wondered, so I looked down at the scenery again.
This reflection makes me see a little different.
"It turns out that there is still a stream of demons!"
The small stream entwined in the sea of flowers was like a silver mirror ribbon, and the moonlight reflected on the mirror ribbon was hazy and faintly shining.
The jade chrysanthemum swayed in the light of the mirror belt, and it was beautiful.
Cen Xi still shook his head.
Isn't that right?
I couldn't figure it out.
I looked left and again, but I really couldn't see the subtlety in it, so I simply put my face open and asked him directly.
"What exactly do you want me to see?"
Cen Xi patted the seat next to him and motioned for me to sit down.
I glanced at him and sat down next to him with a blanket.
Cen Xi pointed to a light with his finger and said to me, "You just stare at that place and don't blink." ”
I looked away.
"See what's going on?"
I shook my head.
"Look again!"
I continued to stare at the light, and just as my eyes were sore and ready to cry, I suddenly saw the light beat very quickly.
Seeing that my expression was different, Cen Xi said, "See? ”
"Why...... "I was surprised, "how does it jump?"
If it is a moonlight mapping, then the moonlight will not beat, how can the light on the flowers beat?
Cen Xi didn't answer my question immediately, he leaned sideways slightly, and then pulled out the blanket that I was holding on to.
"What are you doing!" I said urgently.
Cen Xi gave me a blank look, unfolded the blanket, and draped it over me.
Forehead......
I looked away in embarrassment.
"The body is your own, and if you have not done well to it, it will not do you well." Cen Xi tightened the blanket on my body, "There are still a lot of things I want to do that I haven't had time to do, haven't they?" ”
I didn't speak.
Cen Xi laughed to himself and took his hand back.
"The shallow water is secluded, and the evening breeze blows the moon insects. The light that beats when you see it is the 'moon worm' in "Tianshu Valley". ”
"Moon worms? Do you mean fireflies?"
"It's not." Cen Xi shook his head.
"What does that mean?"
Cen Xi supported his head with one hand and lay down on his side.
"Have you heard of the story of 'Chang'e Running to the Moon'?"
I feel insulted by my clever brain.
"Isn't it that after Hou Yi's shooting, the queen mother gave him an elixir, but Hou Yi's apprentice Peng Meng had bad intentions and wanted to steal the elixir, Chang'e swallowed it in order to prevent him from succeeding, how could I not have heard of it that the three-year-old naughty boy knows?" I'm not convinced.
"When I was three years old, I had never heard of this story." Cen Xi raised the corners of his mouth, "If it weren't for Taifu's teaching and mentioning "Tianshu Valley", I don't think I would have known this story in my life." ”
A well-known mythical story.
I was silent.
As the prince of a country, Cen Xi was born with a lot of things on his back. These things not only crowded his life to the full, but even devoured his emotions and too many delusions.
I wouldn't say he was uncomfortable sitting in this seat, but I knew that he didn't really have a choice whether he was comfortable or not.
Tragic childhood...... Oh, who isn't?
Cen Xi didn't hear me speak, and he didn't care.
Looking at the clusters of light in the cliff valley, he said, "In fact, there is another legend about 'Chang'e running to the moon'. ”
Legend has it that after Chang'e swallowed the elixir in a hurry, her body became lighter and lighter, and gradually flew out of the window. Outside the window, there is a hundred-year-old osmanthus tree, and there is a summer cicada on the tree that is about to become an immortal. When Chang'e flew into the sky, her skirt fell on the laurel tree, and it happened that the cicada was also brought to the Moon Palace. ”
"Once upon a time, there was no light on the moon. Because of Chang'e's longing for Hou Yi, this cicada turned into a lamp, illuminating the Moon Palace and the mortal world in the dark night, so that Chang'e could see her beloved at all times. ”
"The 'moon insect' refers to this moon cicada, but it does not live in the Guanghan Palace, but in the stamens of the jade chrysanthemum. It's so small that if you don't look closely, you won't notice it's there. ”
"But under the moonlight, it emits a lighter than the moonlight."
I listened to him quietly, and the look in my eyes changed and changed, and finally I fell silent.
"Qingzhi, there are thousands of paths in life, will you regret the path you chose?"
I didn't answer, I just thought about it, "When I was very young, I was very naughty, I didn't like to practice calligraphy, and I didn't like to read."
"What I like the most is fighting. Fight every day, fight every day, if you see someone who is not pleasing to your eye, it is a fist, and if you see something that is not pleasing to your eye, I will rush up and fight. If it weren't for the protection of the subordinates, if it weren't for the name of Wei Yinghou's mansion, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago. ”
"Cen Xi, believe it or not, in fact, I'm not much better than you."
