Asking for Tea (II)

At that time, the fairy Weng once told me that cats have nine lives.

But how could God be so kind to demons? So at that time, as a cat, I only thought it was a joke and didn't believe it at all.

But when I woke up again, I believed.

I was lying among the countless woods, surrounded by frenzied flames coming at me. Beyond the flames, there seemed to be someone.

I became invisible and jumped out of the fire.

I saw Yu Wenhuan standing alone outside the fire, staring at the jumping flames in amazement.

It turned out that he had come to burn my body.

I didn't look at him again, turned and left.

Suddenly, I heard a noise, and I couldn't help but look back and saw him kneeling on the ground, covering his face with his hands.

I stood there and just looked at him motionlessly.

Until the flame burns out.

He slowly got up and picked up the white vase on the ground next to him to hold my ashes.

I gently grabbed a handful of dust from the ground and sprinkled it on the burnt pile.

He knelt there, carefully collecting the slightly blackened ash from the white ash formed by the burning of the firewood and putting it into the white vase in his hand.

That's my favorite vase.

I closed my eyes and couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned around, and left.

Yu Wenwei, you know what.

To you...... I was moved.

I went back to the town.

For example, everyone knows today that Jin Chen betrayed the country and died with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart. The emperor withdrew his gift to the Jin family, and the Jin family's wealth was empty, and no one dared to mention it again.

In the end, I failed to protect Jin Chen's reputation, and I also ruined the last hope of the Jin family.

I returned to Yao Mountain and knelt in front of the Jin family's grave for three days and three nights.

I lived on Yaoshan Mountain, and pretended to be ghosts to scare the townspeople who went to Yaoshan, so that the news of "Yaoshan is haunted" came out of the town, and no one dared to come to Yaoshan again.

In this way, no one will disturb me and the Jin family anymore.

Half a year later, a little zombie came to Yaoshan and tested me many times.

So I made a coffin, engraved the sealing spell on the gourd of the female Taoist priest in the past, and found a way to seal the little zombie.

The eight lives I still have left can transform into eight human bodies. That night, I used these eight bodies to carry the coffin that sealed the little zombie, and wanted to put it in the depths of the mountain.

That night, I met two people in the woods.

One was a man who was extremely high and could not see through it, and later I found out that he had the smell of Mount Lisan on his body.

And the other one is the female Taoist priest who arrested me back then.

Her cultivation has suffered a great loss for some reason, almost nothing. But I think she's still a Taoist.

So I wanted to find her to overtake that little zombie.

thought that this matter would be over, but within a few days, Su Yinghuan came to the door.

That little zombie Chunqi was sent by Su Yinghuan.

As soon as I met her, I didn't say a word, and just started fighting. During the fight, she suddenly told me that Yu Wenhuan had come looking for me. I was so frightened that I fell in love with her and was sealed in a coffin I made myself.

I was sealed for a few days.

In the end, it was the man next to the female Taoist priest who came to save me. He turned out to be a demon too, and he ...... Or the demon on Lisang Mountain. Judging by his cultivation and age, I should call him an old senior, but he probably doesn't like me to call him that, so I call him a senior for short.

After the seniors saved me, they laughed at me, and then told me that the prince of Jin came to Yaohe Town today to pay tribute to me, and now he is on Yaoshan Mountain.

I turned and walked away. Go fast.

The senior shouted behind me: "Jin Chen! What are you running! ”

How could I not run.

My mind was in turmoil.

Later, I learned that Su Yinghuan was entangled with Yu Wenhuan and wanted to kill him. To make me sad.

I don't want to see him again, but I don't want him to die because of me.

Su Yinghuan has always been cunning and always nowhere to be seen, so I have to keep an eye on Yu Wenhuan's movements at all times to protect his safety.

Sure enough, that morning, Su Yinghuan went to the inn where Yu Wenhuan lived and wanted to do it.

Before I could stop it, Yan Yan came, desperately trying to protect the prince.

This little stupid dog, who has been by the prince's side for so long, is really loyal.

But the leap can't beat Su Yinghuan.

And so I showed up. I have to protect Yu Wenhuan.

When Yu Wenhuan saw me, he was stunned and muttered my name.

I answered, but I didn't dare to look him in the eye.

Because I'm afraid.

I'm afraid I'll see his guilt, his helplessness, his pain. I'm even more afraid to see that there is love in his eyes.

If there is still love in his eyes, then what should I do, what should I do?

I'm already dead.

In the past six months, I didn't want to or love, and tried to forget him.

I thought my heart was dead.

But as soon as he came, everything came back to life.

I don't know what I'm thinking. For the next few days, I was in a daze and overwhelmed.

One time I was walking down the street and met the female Taoist priest.

She was with her seniors, and she ran out to find that little zombie Chunqi.

She's really changed a lot, and I don't know what I've been through. Not to mention the big loss of cultivation, there seems to be a lot of changes in her thinking, in the past, she caught demons when she saw them, but now she will run around for a zombie.

Somehow, I struck up a conversation with her. And they had a good conversation.

Maybe I haven't talked to anyone for too long, and I said it all in one go, my hatred, my love, and my fear and unwillingness.

She was a good listener, listening to me quietly, and sometimes asking me carefully if she didn't understand. Like a little scholar who listens carefully.

She's cute.

It's no wonder that the seniors looked at her so differently, as if they were looking at the only one in their lives.

Ah, by the way, when Yu Wenwei looked at me, it seemed to be the same look.

But I never dared to confirm his heart.

He married me because I saved his life. But I later learned that the person who really saved him turned out to be Su Yinghuan, my mortal enemy.

Is Yu Wenwei loving me? If it's love, why are you willing to kill me with your own hands?

I don't understand.

For more than ten days after that, I stayed quietly in Yaoshan, on the tree with white flowers where I always lived.

Yu Wenhuan looked for me for a long time, and finally asked Yan Yan to lead the way to me.

The dog's nose worked and followed the scent to the bottom of the tree.

I hid in a tree and didn't dare to come out.

Fortunately, the fairy aunt and the seniors happened to come to me and relieve me.

It turned out that Su Yinghuan was a demon again and took Chunqi away. The fairy aunt really took pity on Chunqi, and came to Yaoshan to find her.

I never thought that this was a trap laid by Su Yinghuan earlier. She got the Nedan of the fire fox for thousands of years out of nowhere, and she wanted to burn the entire Yaoshan Mountain and wipe us out.

Frankly, the plan was seamless. If it weren't for the fact that my predecessors happened to be here, Immortal Gu and I would have died here.

I think Su Yinghuan must never have imagined that the cultivation of the Fire Fox for thousands of years would be so vulnerable in front of his predecessors.

A few strokes from my predecessors resolved everything, but my heart still hangs.

In that moment when the sky was red with the light of the fire, I only thought of him.

He is still on this mountain in search of me. He will be burned to death.

At that moment, infinite fear welled up in my heart, and I realized that what I was most afraid of was losing him.

It turned out that all the hatred and resentment would not be able to lose his pain.

I ran like crazy on the hills, running across the land I knew best, searching for countless scorched places.

I want to find him, whether he is alive or not.

Even if he only has his ashes left, I will find him and bury him. It's like he knelt in front of my corpse half a year ago, carefully collecting all the dust.

The fairy girl was worried about me, and followed me silently until I found him, and she left silently.

What does that feel like?

Seeing that he was safe and sound, he stood in front of me completely, with his arms slightly open towards me, and a slight smile on the corners of his lips.

It's like he caught me.

I ran as hard as I could, desperately running into his arms.

Ask for tea. Ask for tea.

It turned out that what I was asking for was a.

Later, I chose to leave Yaohe Town and return to the palace with Yuwenwei.

Before leaving, I went to Yaoshan again. The fire that night was so big, fortunately it didn't burn the Jin family's grave.

I knelt before their graves and poured three glasses of wine.

"First cup, to all of you in the Jin family. May you all vote for a good family and have a smooth and healthy life in the future. I drank the first cup from my throat and leaned down and kowtowed.

"Second cup, toast you, Jin Chen. A word of thanks is not enough, I owe you so much. May you ...... May you be safe and prosperous in the next life, and if I can meet you again, I will be with my life to protect you in all your lives. "I drank the second cup and kowtowed a second time.

"The third cup, disrespecting anyone, is a punishment for wine. Punish the dead me, the fake Jin Chen. I chuckled and raised the third glass of wine, "I lost my life, lost the reputation of the Jin family, and failed to keep the last hope of the Jin family." This time I will go to Beijing with the prince, I will go to face the saint, explain the treason, wash away the treason of the Jin family, and return the Jin family to an innocence. If not...... Ask for tea and come back, and die to apologize. I lifted my glass and drank it down, knocked my head again, and got up to leave.

As I was leaving, I turned around and looked at the bleak graves. A few sticks of incense rose from the cold stele and soon faded into the thin sunlight.

"If all is over, I will ......," I said to them, "and I will stay with Yu Wenwei and accompany him for the rest of his life." When he dies in a few decades, I will come back and be with you. I will come back to see you often, forgive me for being selfish this time, 'Jin Chen' will always belong to you, and 'Asking for tea' belongs to him. ”

I lowered my eyelashes, closed my eyes for a moment, and smiled.

The fairy aunt and the seniors came to see us off.

I saw that my predecessors were so active, but the fairy aunt was unaware and so emotionally ignorant, so I couldn't help but mention a few words to them.

After all, emotionally speaking, I'm a "senior", right?

The carriage finally carried me out of the town.

Along the way, Yan Yan still didn't have a face for me, but Yu Wenwei was very happy that I was by his side, holding my hand all the time, as if I was afraid that I would be gone.

Passing by a post station on the way, Yu Wenwei had an urgent matter, so he got out of the carriage and went over to order. Yan Yan wanted to follow, but Yu Wenwei called back to protect me. Reluctantly, Yan Yan returned to the carriage and stood guard outside the carriage.

After a moment of silence, I was very bored in the carriage, so I asked Yan Yan through the curtain of the carriage, "Hey, Yan Yan." ”

Yan Yan's voice was very indifferent: "What are you doing?" ”

"Do you have a sweetheart?"

"What's your business?"

"Yes or no? Why don't you find the prince to be the master for you? ”

Outside the carriage, Yan Yan sneered and said, "Jin Chen, you are all bored." ”

I said, "A little bit." You said, you have always ignored women, and you only guard the prince every inch all day long, isn't it the two of you? ”

Yan Yan snorted coldly again, not intending to pay attention to me at all.

I was about to tease him a few more words, but suddenly I heard him say, "Hey, are you doubting the prince?" ”

I laughed and said, "I'm obviously suspicious of you." ”

But he heard Yan Yan say softly: "Do you know that the original ...... It's not that the prince didn't save you. ”

"What did you say?" I didn't hear you.

Yan Yan's impatient voice came from behind the curtain: "I said, the prince did a lot of things to save you. ”

I didn't expect him to suddenly mention this, and he didn't answer for a while.

Yan Yan said to himself: "When you entered the dungeon, the prince ran to beg the emperor to let you go. It's strange to say, the saint who favored the third brother the most in the past didn't want to go along with the prince's mind this time, so he refused to let you go, and let you have ten thousand arrows through your heart. Ah, by the way, how long were you locked up at that time? ”

I was silent for a moment and said, "...... More than ten days. I don't remember. ”

"It's twenty-one days." Yan Yan said, "In order to save you, the prince knelt in front of the holy palace for twenty-one days in front of all the ministers, guards and even palace maids and eunuchs in the entire palace. ”

My heart shuddered.

"For twenty-one days, during which the prince fainted many times, was carried back to the palace and woke up and ran into the palace. In the end, he even forced his life to die with you. ”

"However, the emperor, who seemed to be benevolent to the Sacred Heart, was unusual, and actually said, 'Third brother, if you dare to die, then good, you die with your front foot, and I will let that Jin Chen Sheng die with my back foot. Not only her, but everyone in your Jinwang Mansion is in the same fate. 'Hey, didn't you expect that the emperor also had times when he was so ruthless to the prince? ”

I said in a trembling voice, "Don't talk about it......"

As if he hadn't heard, Yan Yan continued: "In the end, many people in the palace couldn't stand it, and it is said that a concubine ran to intercede with the prince, and the emperor reluctantly spared the punishment of ten thousand arrows piercing your heart, and allowed the prince to execute you personally. After you died, the prince seemed to have lost his god, and he carried the white bottle containing your ashes with him, and he ......"

"Don't talk about it......" I reached out to cover my mouth, tears running down the back of my hand to my jaw.

These...... He didn't say a word to me.

Yan Yan finally stopped. After a while, he said softly: "Jin Chen, his love is no less than yours. He loves you even more. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Yu Wenwei hurriedly walked back, glanced at the silent Yan Yan outside the carriage, frowned, reached out and opened the curtain, and saw me with red eyes.

"What's wrong?" He got into the carriage, carefully took me into his arms, and bowed his head to ask me.

I buried my head in his arms and said sullenly, "It's okay. ”

"Are you really okay?" He hugged me incredulously.

"Hmm." I tried to raise the corners of my mouth, looked up at his worried expression, and smiled.

"Husband, let's go home."
