On the way, I encountered a lot of yurts, and I also encountered the checkpoints set up by the Huns, holding Liu Bao's token in my hand, which was naturally unimpeded.

The further you go, the sparser the crowd becomes, and in the evening, just when Wang Baoyu was bored and about to fall asleep, she finally came to the so-called Valley of Storms. From the outside, it is just a small valley formed by a few low hills, not to mention that there are inhabitants nearby, and there are not even passing creatures in the sky and on the ground, which is very desolate.

There was about a group of more than 100 Hun soldiers guarding the valley mouth, the discipline was not very strict, and there were a few sitting on the ground chatting. Wang Baoyu took out the token, and the Hun soldiers looked at it carefully for a long time to make sure that there was no problem, so they let Wang Baoyu ride in.

The valley was full of half-man-high weeds, without any view, a low, dilapidated tent, gently swaying in the wind, and a few horsehair tied to the tent were scattered and shivering in the cold wind. Not far from the tent, there was a hairless shepherd dog, too old to look good, curled up in the wind, as if he could die at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Wang Baoyu's nose was sour, and she wanted to cry, Cai Wenji, as a generation of amazing talents, actually lived here so lonely, and God was really jealous and unfair to her.

As soon as he saw someone coming, the shepherd dog reluctantly stood up, barked at Wang Baoyu a few times, and his body swayed with the wind, which really made people worry that the next moment would be its end.

Wang Baoyu tried his best to calm down, and smiled at the sheepdog: "Don't bark, I'm not a bad person, is your master here?" ”

The shepherd dog sniffed and looked at Wang Baoyu twice, as if he understood his words, turned his head and barked a few times towards the top of the hill, and then lay down again, still curled up in a ball.

Wang Baoyu followed the barking of the shepherd dog, and above the hill, there was an unknown tree, whose branches and leaves had withered most of them, revealing the vicissitudes of life. Looming under the tree, a figure was sitting there.

A tent, an old dog, a big tree, that's all a generation of beautiful women have, how desolate! Alas, Wang Baoyu sighed incessantly, rubbed his moist eyes, took a step, and walked along the gentle slope towards the tree.

Getting closer and closer, Wang Baoyu finally saw the woman under the tree, dressed in thick fur clothes, sitting there motionless, like a sculpture, without a hat, with long black hair scattered over her shoulders at will, fluttering in the wind, looking from the side of the face, the curve of the face was very beautiful, and the lack of blood lips were slightly pursed.

It should be Cai Wenji, Wang Baoyu walked over quickly, and the rustling sound made by stepping on the wild grass did not alarm Cai Wenji, she did not turn her head, she still maintained that posture, and her eyes were full of melancholy looking at the slanting sun.

Wang Baoyu didn't speak, came to Cai Wenji's side and sat down, and also looked at the sunset in the clouds, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of a person in his heart, it was Feng Chunling, his lover in the distant future. Feng Chunling has said more than once that she thinks the most beautiful thing is that on the day she gets old, she can snuggle up and watch the sunset together.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. If she can go back, Wang Baoyu is willing to accompany her every day to watch the vibrant sunrise, instead of the bloody sun. Thinking of this, his heart was sour, and he actually forgot the gap between time and space, and the ghost envoy sat down close to Cai Wenji again, until a vague aroma came.

Both of them looked into the distance, thinking about their own thoughts. Wang Baoyu was sad for a long time, Cai Wenji didn't turn her head or speak, and she didn't even move, as if there was no one around her at all, but this concentration made Wang Baoyu feel very surprised.

It wasn't until the red face of the setting sun was completely hidden in the clouds and the night began to fall slowly that Cai Wenji finally sighed slowly, turned her head, and still looked at Wang Baoyu expressionlessly.

This face is stunning, the facial features are exquisite, and the skin looks a little pale, but what attracts Wang Baoyu the most is the big eyes with melancholy, which are so clear, like autumn water, spotless. Even in this dark color, it is also shining, and the occasional flickering eyelashes sweep over this autumn water, and then it is presented intact, which makes people have a kind of cherishing that has been lost and regained, and it is so beautiful that people forget to breathe.

"Wen Ji!" Wang Baoyu shouted emotionally, and then coughed twice, it was too into the play, and the shouting just now was too ambiguous. Wang Baoyu retracted his senses, and said hello in a normal tone as much as possible: "Wen Ji, hello." ”

"Who are you?" Cai Wenji said lightly, unfazed, her voice was very calm, revealing her white teeth like Haobei.

"My name is Wang Baoyu and I'm from Xudu."

"Xu Du?" Cai Wenji seemed to recall a distant story, and said quietly: "Cao Mengde sent me back again, right?" ”

Wang Baoyu nodded and said, "That's the case, but King Zuo Xian doesn't agree." I'm here just to see you. ”

"Why are you looking at me?"

"This, how to say it, fate!"

"You've seen me, you can leave now." Cai Wenji said calmly.

Cai Wenji's words hit Wang Baoyu very hard, although he can't be called a real handsome guy, but there are not a few women who don't give a smile when they see him, and they take the initiative to stick to it. It's just that this Cai Wenji spoke so politely, and she didn't mean to appreciate it at all when she looked at her, this attitude must not be mixed, do you know?

"Cai Wenji, you don't need to put on such a gesture of rejecting people thousands of miles away, don't think that I am willing to come to see you, I am just fulfilling my mission, and I will go back to make a difference with Cao Cheng." Wang Baoyu's face sank and said in annoyance.

"You have a very strange accent, who is you?" Cai Wenji asked.

"I'm not from this era at all, I broke into here by accident, I just want to complete the task and let Cao Cao help me find a way to go home." Wang Baoyu said.

"Home?" Cai Wenji repeated, turned her head to look at the sky, and said as if talking to herself: "Where is home?" The clouds are misty, the road is long, and the end of the world is not visible. ”

"Alas! I know you're talented, but these things aren't enough to eat, and they're useless in the wilderness. ”

"Life is like a dream, it's nothing more than waking up and getting drunk, and being useful and useless is empty."

"Don't feel this way when you're young." Wang Baoyu sighed, and gave Cai Wenji another wooden fish, and she would have all the conditions to become a monk.

Wang Baoyu took out a cloth scroll from his arms, handed it over, and said, "This is what Cao Zhi entrusted me to bring you." ”

Cai Wenji took it, and didn't ask Cao Zhi why he gave him this, but after a general breview, he returned it to Wang Baoyu, and said: "The writing is beautiful and concise, but what is written on it is not me, if you like it, you can keep it." ”
