The peace of all things lies in the balance of order, and order is the arrangement of equal and unequal things in their proper places.

- Augustine (Roman Empire Catholic thinker, saint and teacher)

The dusk in the countryside is so beautiful that Oscar couldn't help but say: "The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk!" "Readers living in another world will whisper a good word or two in front of such a beautiful scenery, which is a tradition of the Chinese and a special cultural habit.

However, such a sentence was a little strange to Mary; For there have not yet been such beautiful sentences in the Mediterranean. Mary, however, instinctively felt that this rhythm was a very beautiful and expressive rhythm; Thinking of the story of Snow White that Oscar said before, for the first time, Mary felt that the man next to her was so unfathomable.

However, Oscar's next performance completely destroyed this tall image; I saw Oscar look at Mary with a reverent face, and then asked affectionately, "Mary, is your dinner ready?" I've been tired all afternoon, and I'm really hungry alone; Let's hurry up and eat! ”

Mary really had the urge to kick Oscar into the water at this moment, how could the leader of the Augustan family, who was usually very serious and serious, have such an unobtrusive side; Mary was also really speechless. But then again, what Oscar said is not unreasonable; Mary herself felt a little hungry, so let's hurry up and start eating.

At lunchtime, because of the limited materials and the tight time, Mary just prepared lunch casually; In the evening, the meal was much more substantial. The staple food is still the leftover brown bread eaten at noon, but the non-staple food adds a lot of fruits in addition to vegetables; There was even a bottle of home-made wine from a neighbor.

However, Oscar always felt that something was missing from such dinners; As for what exactly is missing, I can't say what Oscar is missing. It wasn't until Oscar's eyes saw the lit candle that Oscar understood what he felt was missing; Oscar quickly stood up and blew out the candle hanging on the wall. Then he took a candle and lit it on the table.

Although Mary didn't know what Oscar was doing this, she didn't stop Oscar from doing it; When the house became dark, Oscar really felt the warm and romantic atmosphere. Mary also sensed Oscar's intentions at this time, but Mary regarded Oscar's behavior as the pleasure of the Roman nobles, and just shook her head helplessly.

The two slowly ate bread and fruit together, chatting about some anecdotes they knew; Originally, there were still two people talking and laughing. Later, it became Oscar talking alone, and Mary leaned on the table and listened to Oscar with her chin in her hand. Oscar has very little experience in his life, but he has seen and heard a lot of interesting anecdotes in another world.

A simple dinner was eaten by Oscar and Mary for two hours, and when Mary had put away all the utensils after the dinner, she offered to let Oscar accompany her to the fields for the night. The beauty has an appointment, and Oscar will naturally not disobey; The two walked out of the hut side by side and came under the stars.

The night in the countryside is beautiful and quiet. And peaceful. The moon is like a rare pearl, set in the sky. The moonlight enveloped the village like a soft white veil, and the whole village was bathed in this soft moonlight. The moonlight flowed in the fields, and everything was so quiet that it seemed that the whole world was only its steady heartbeat and gentle footsteps.

A cool night breeze gently swept by, it was like a pot of old wine, and the trees and bamboos behind the house. The crops in the fields are drunk, and they are swaying. Make a cheerful, lively "rustle" splashing "rustle" sound. In the field, the sound of frogs and insects rises and falls, wave after wave, "quack" and "buzz", and even fireflies carrying flashing lanterns also come to join in the fun.

A few dog barks were heard in the distance, and the bell under the cow's neck "Ding Ling Ding Ding" sounded. How nice to hear! It's a symphony of creatures like no other. Oscar and Mary walked in the fields to such beautiful music, and neither of them spoke, and no one was willing to break the warmth and tacit understanding between the two at this moment.

The night was getting thicker and thicker, and the moon was like a white jade mirror, sprinkling its light all over the village. There was silence all around: the trees, the bamboo, the wine of the crops woke up. No more sound; The frogs and insects also stopped screaming; The dog stopped barking; The bell under the cow's neck stopped ringing, and the symphony of unique creatures ended.

In the moonlight, only the delicate flowers are blooming, and the rich fragrance of flowers is wafting. This unique silence hides a unique rural atmosphere. Oscar roughly estimated that he and Mary were about eight hundred meters away from the house; Coupled with the fact that the night was getting darker, Oscar whispered to Mary, who was still drunk beside him:

"Mary, we've been out for a long time; Why don't we stop here tonight? If you still want to go shopping, let's go out and walk around tomorrow night, shall we? ”

Oscar's whispering brought Mary back to reality from her wandering state, and also made Mary's face appear a blush invisible in the night; It's not that Mary was embarrassed that she was distracted, but Mary was embarrassed about her upcoming sleep!

There was only a sword bedroom and a bed in the house, and nothing else; And Mary only brought a set of sheets and covers. Could Mary have allowed Oscar to stay awake all night, or just sleep on the floor with someone else's used sheets? It's late autumn in October, and although the weather is still hot during the day, the temperature at night is still relatively low, and Mary can't do anything to let Oscar sleep on the ground.

However, Mary can't be allowed to sleep in the same bed with her, right? Although there are no Christian rituals in the world today, there is no serious concept of chastity; However, Mary still doesn't have the courage to let Oscar sleep in the same bed with her, even if Mary's heart is deeply rooted in Oscar's heart.

Oscar is not a fool, and naturally he can see Mary's embarrassment; However, as a dignified man, will Oscar take advantage of Mary at such a time? Nonsense, it's men who will; Not to mention the bloody Oscar! So, Oscar grabbed Mary's hand and forcibly carried Mary on her back despite Mary's struggles, and walked in the direction of home.

Originally, Mary still resisted Oscar's sudden roughness, but when Mary lay on Oscar's broad back, Mary quickly quieted down; Of course, some of the little tricks that Oscar secretly played on Mary still knew. For example, after Oscar carried Mary on his back, he held Mary's ass with both hands; During this period, Oscar even pinched it involuntarily......

The distance of about 800 meters is not too far, but it makes both Oscar and Mary feel a strange feeling in their hearts; Oscar carried Mary on his back, but he didn't feel the weight of the oppression. Maybe it's because Mary is too light, or maybe it's because Oscar himself is willing to carry Mary like this without complaint.

And Mary's feeling is warm and happy; Although Mary has always told herself in her heart that Oscar is married, his wife is Prisca who was also born in Rome's top wealthy family, and she is just an ordinary woman born in a commoner. However, Mary still enjoyed the warmth of lying on Oscar's back, which made Mary, who had been adrift, feel a sense of security.

When Oscar walked to the door with Mary on his back, Oscar suddenly had a feeling that he didn't want to put Mary down; He really wanted to carry Mary on his back and go all the way. Mary also quietly enjoyed this feeling, and was reluctant to ask Oscar to let go of herself; It's a pity that the home has arrived, and it still has to be put down after all.

Oscar stood at the door of his house for a full five minutes, as if he had made a decision; So he stepped straight into the house with Mary on his back. Mary lay on Oscar's back in a daze, watching Oscar carry herself to the bedroom, and then gently put her on the bed; Then, ignoring Mary's surprised eyes, Oscar lay down beside Mary in his own kimono.

Mary just stared at Oscar with wide eyes, and Oscar looked at Mary with her own eyes open; Mary didn't say anything in the end, and Oscar didn't do anything else. The two of you look at me and I look at you, and slowly fall into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, the noisy voices outside the house and the harsh sunlight woke up the two of them, who had slept in their clothes all night; The two tacitly agreed not to say anything about last night's incident, but each cleaned up and walked out of the house. The sky outside the house is clear, and the view of the countryside in the morning is so beautiful!

In the east, a red sun slowly rose, and the sun shone on the earth. When a little boy came to the pond, he saw the clear water, the fish swimming around, and all kinds of flowers, and he couldn't help but take out his beloved flute and blow it, and the melodious sound of the flute spread throughout the village.

The sound of the flute attracted the little sparrows, who used the tree as a stage and chirped incessantly, as if they were playing for the little boy! The sound of the flute attracted little frogs, who lay on the disc-like lotus leaves, croaking and croaking, as if to say, "Okay! Okay! That's good! ”

In the distance, in the vegetable garden, the vegetable seedlings also poked their little heads out of the soil, as if to say, "It's so nice to be sunny, and the sound of the flute is so good!" "To the left of the garden, there is the little river, and by the river stands willow trees, whose branches sway in the breeze, as if dancing for the little boy!

Suddenly, a big rooster crowed, alarming the big yellow dog who didn't know who's house, and it also barked. The crowing of chickens, the barking of dogs, and the sound of the boy's flute make for a beautiful symphony. "The morning view of the countryside is so beautiful!" Oscar and Mary couldn't help but sigh at the same time.
