Adventures in Heaven (novel) Zhang Baotong

Under the winter sky, it was overcast, and the cold wind blew strongly, and the grass on the grassy slope had dried up at some point, and even the hardy chrysanthemum flowers were withered by the wind. In the afternoon www.biquge.info of the slanting sun, the cold wind gusted, and a person walking alone in the ancient wilderness, and I couldn't help but feel sour and sad in my heart. I rode my horse, put my hands in my sleeves, and walked forward with great effort against the wind. In order to prevent human attack, I hung the sword at my waist, so that I could draw it immediately in case of danger.

Entering the dense forest, I simply held the sword in my hand and watched around with great vigilance. However, what worries me the most is Ying'er's safety. I have not told the king about the raving in the valley near the shallow lake the day before. If someone really wanted to kill her, it couldn't have been easier. With this in mind, I kept urging the horses to speed up.

After descending the cloud mountain and entering the valley, I saw two eagles hovering over the valley. The valley was unusually quiet, and even the sound of horses' hooves on the grass echoed in the valley. At this time, it was getting late, the sun was about to set, and the sky was a gloomy light gray. There seems to be a murderous motive hidden in the whistle wind. I clenched my sword, flapped my horse's back, and walked at a gallop. It wasn't until I got out of the valley and up the high slope that I was relieved. At this time, the reeds that fluctuated with the wind in the cold wind were not far ahead.

The boundless reeds have withered and yellowed, and they cry out in the cold wind of sorrow, exuding a sad scene. The further you go in, the heavier and more real this sadness becomes, and the more confusing and panicked it becomes. As I walked to the edge of the clearing where people had once lived, I was stunned by the sight of a woman with long hair scattered in front of a desolate and abandoned shack, sitting on a cold stone block and weeping in grief. Maybe she had been crying for too long, and her voice was dry and hoarse. This is Ying'er who ran out of the palace this morning.

I walked up to Ying'er's side and called "Ying'er" softly, and tears poured out of my eyes. Ying'er looked up and saw me, she was suddenly stunned, she didn't know whether she was happy or sad for a while, she looked at me for a while, and then covered her face and cried loudly. Her cry expresses the utter despair of sorrow and helplessness, which makes people listen to the heart. I squatted in front of her, brushed away the loose hair in front of her eyes with both hands, and tears flowed silently with her. Under my loving caress and comfort, she gradually suppressed her feelings and put her beautiful face full of tears into my arms.

I held her tightly in my arms, tears of shame and remorse welled up, but I could not help but explain my pain and helplessness to her. I said, "If I don't want to die with you, but if the power of the palace is gone, and the prince is secretly murderous, and the king is depressed, and he has the right to abandon the throne in order to live in peace, if so, your majesty and you and I will die without a place to be buried." I know that Your Majesty is in love with you, but you cannot make Your Majesty cheer up. Thou art a gentle disposition, jealous of evil, humble in times of trouble, and easy in dealing with them, and with thy inner help, the king will be able to revive his strength, be humble and patient, and accomplish great things. ”

Ying'er was silent, but kept flowing. Suddenly, she hugged me tightly and said with a sad and pleading pleading, "Long Hua, you take me away, I don't care about the affairs of the palace, as long as I follow you, I am willing to die." "If it weren't for this harsh winter, if the river outside the mountain could still swim across, I would not hesitate to take Ying'er away and escape from heaven. But where can I take her now?

I held her face and earnestly persuaded her, "I love you, and I want to make you happy, but I don't want you to suffer." If I take you to escape and live in seclusion, you will inevitably be like a fugitive from me, and you will never see the light of day again for the rest of your life. Moreover, I am the envoy of the great man, and I will return to the great man in the end. When Ying'er heard this, she said, "Ying'er is willing to leave the country with her son and return to Han." I said, "It's freezing now, and the mountains and rivers that return to Dahan have been blocked, and they can't be crossed until the summer is hot." Ying'er thought for a while, and then said stubbornly, "You and I can find a remote place to live in seclusion for the time being, and it is not too late to leave when the summer is hot." I said, "No, you left the palace without permission, and the king and the queen mother were very worried, and they have sent them to look around." I was afraid that the matter would be big, so I asked him to tell the king and the queen mother that you miss your mother and want to stay with your mother for two days. If you can't return to the palace within two days, the king and the queen mother will definitely send people to look around, and if you investigate it like this, I will be guilty of defrauding the king and will not be able to get out. Ying'er was a little disappointed, so she asked what to do. I was silent for a long time and said, "The only way to go back to the palace is to go back to the palace." When Ying'er heard this, she sighed, and tears flowed out of her eyes again.

Before you knew it, it was getting dark. The moon in the sky was obscured by clouds, and under the cold night sky, the reeds were black and could not be seen. From time to time, the fierce wind was mixed with the wailing of wild wolves, which was very infiltrating. I carried Ying'er into the tattered thatched hut and ate the food I brought separately from her. I know she hadn't eaten all day. After eating, the night soon darkened. We hugged each other and slept in the bedding we had left over the day before.

At this time, we don't say anything, we don't want to say anything, we just quietly feel the affection and beauty of love and blind date with our hearts. We kept loving and caressing each other, and we didn't close our eyes almost all night, because there would never be another moment like this. Gradually, the sky began to light up before I knew it. We all felt the sound of the footsteps of time approaching. We know that as soon as the sky dawns, this precious and beautiful moment will end with the rising sun. The present intimacy and warmth are the solemn and tragic rites of our imminent separation. We must condense the love and affection of each other for a lifetime in this solemn and tragic moment.

In order to be able to spend more time together, we didn't get up until it was dark. After getting up, we sat and hugged each other tightly, until we had to go on the road, and then we went on the road hand in hand, and the sad mood and scene were like rushing to the execution ground together. We were hungry because we had nothing to eat, but we didn't feel hungry at all. Sometimes we snuggled together on horses, sometimes hugged each other and walked in the valley by the lake and in the jungle under the cloud mountain, and every time we stopped and stared, we couldn't help but hug each other and kiss each other. Then, continue on your way. Therefore, the road was very slow, and by the time we arrived at the Taocun Mansion, it was already early afternoon.

As soon as Ying'er entered the door, she hugged her mother and cried bitterly. I was afraid that I would make their mother and daughter uncomfortable by my side, so I quietly went out and walked in the woods on the banks of the glacier not far from the door. The wind blew through the forest one after another, and it was so cold that I shivered, but I couldn't go back to the house right away. Looking at the icebergs and snowy peaks in the distance, the dreamlike homesickness filled my heart. But the most serious reason for homesickness is missing your beloved lover. It has been several months since I left the ancient city of Xi'an, and I wonder if Su Ping is still peaceful? Will she think that something has happened to me and that I have been killed on the way because I have not heard from me? Will she have a new boyfriend?

I am not sure about these things at all, because the rapid changes and unpredictable changes in life make people pay more attention to the present and the future, and do not want to spend time and energy on the things of the past. Maybe it's because the past is irretrievable. Of course, even so, I wouldn't blame Su Ping.
