Chapter 22: Love
Maybe Bai Jing was right, she shouldn't have brought this sad man here, she didn't know what was wrong, but what Bai Jing said seemed to be right all along.
At the bottom of the mountain, Bai Jing meditated on a smooth stone, and he occasionally looked up at the person on the top of the mountain, as if he was afraid that she would fall from it.
Looking up from time to time, this somewhat static cycle scene seems more circular, time passes from the three of them little by little, just looking quietly, as if a lifetime has passed.
City Lord's Mansion, Qi Yunyang has been busy with official business every day since he returned to the house, although he wants to get together with Xiao Tao, but there are always various things to be busy, at the beginning he always went back to the room in the middle of the night, often waking up Xiao Tao.
A few days later, Qi Yunyang moved to the study to live permanently, and would deal with affairs in the study in the middle of the night, and rest in the study if he was tired.
There was nothing wrong with it at the beginning, but after a long time, the people in the house felt that Xiao Tao had fallen out of favor, and it was always the case, and the people in the house still loved Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao was worried, and the smile on her face became less and less day by day.
On this day, Ziyan came to Beiyuan to look for Xiao Tao, and saw Xiao Tao sitting alone on the edge of the lotus pond in a daze, the fish food in her hand was scattered in the water, and there were dark fluctuations under the water.
"Who are you thinking about?" Ziyan stepped forward and sat in front of Xiao Tao and looked at Xiao Tao's pale face.
The little girl who did not open at the beginning has now become a slim girl, the girl is open, but she can no longer see the innocent smile on her face, only her face like clear soup noodles, and she is depressed every day.
Xiao Tao reacted, looked up at Ziyan, and when she found that the person in front of her was Ziyan, Xiao Tao threw all the fish food in her hand into the lotus pond, and turned around to leave here.
"Are you messing with me? I don't remember messing with you. Ziyan followed closely and returned to the house with Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao turned around and stood still, looking at Ziyan behind her, her eyes were full of Ziyan's accusations, Ziyan's face was smiling, no matter what Xiao Tao did, she didn't have much reaction.
"What are you doing with me?" Xiao Tao asked angrily.
Ziyan suddenly burst into laughter, "Hahaha, you're really going to laugh at me." Ziyan covered her stomach and pointed at Xiao Tao from time to time, and the whole person smiled and bent over.
Xiao Tao looked at Ziyan laughing like this, her eyes were confused, she never remembered that Ziyan had laughed like this, how could this scheming woman show such an innocent smile.
Seeing Xiao Tao's confused expression, Ziyan's tears were about to come out.
"You're such a funny person." Ziyan said sincerely.
Xiao Tao turned the screen and returned to the bedroom, not wanting to discuss anything with Ziyan.
The people in the outer room had laughed enough, and then sat down in their chairs, "I have one thing I want to tell you, you will be punished for being so unreasonable." Ziyan put away her hippie smile and said with a serious face.
Xiao Tao was holding a handkerchief, her hands were tightened, and her eyes looked at the outer room, because there was a screen blocking it, she couldn't see the situation outside, but looking at her expression, it was as if she could see it.
"Where is he now?" Xiao Tao finished busy.
"You don't have to know this, if you really want to know where he is, you can go out and look for him, I think if you go out and look for him, you will definitely find him." Ziyan was very sure about this.
Xiao Tao has been very entangled these days, and now she is even more entangled, should she stay in the City Lord's Mansion?
Sitting slowly on the chair, Xiao Tao's hands unconsciously turned the handkerchief in his hand.
Ziyan in the outer room heard that there was no movement inside, she put away the expression on her face, stood up gently, and quietly left here.
When night fell, the lights in the study were lit, and Qi Yunyang in the study looked at the latest battle situation, wrote a reply, and waited for someone to take it away early tomorrow morning.
Hearing the faint sound of the wind, he raised his head and saw Xiao Tao walking in with a red square plate, with several plates of food on the plate and a bowl of steaming soup.
"I've had dinner just now." Qi Yunyang put down the wolf brush in his hand, stood up and walked to Xiao Tao's side, and took the plate from Xiao Tao's hand.
"Then I'd better take it away." Xiao Tao said that she was about to reach out and take it.
This stretch of hand was easily dodged by Qi Yunyang, who put the plate on the table behind him and quickly grabbed Xiao Tao's hand.
"Don't worry, I'll leave when I'm done."
"But ......"
"I suddenly feel a little hungry, and your food is coming at the right time." Qi Yunyang said with a smile, comforting Xiao Tao to sit aside, he picked up the wooden chopsticks, and ate the food on the plate very quickly, not at all like he had just had dinner.
"You eat slowly, drink more soup." Xiao Tao said beside him.
In front of Xiao Tao, Qi Yunyang never pays attention to anything, although he looks a little delicate, but his heart is rough, he is bold in doing things, and he never twists and turns.
"General, there is one thing ......" Xiao Tao looked at Qi Yunyang and opened her mouth hesitantly.
"Is that going to be changed?" Qi Yunyang put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked at Xiao Tao seriously.
Xiao Tao closed her mouth, thought for a while, and spoke again: "On the day of the wedding, you said that you were to repay me for saving my life, so you promised to do so, but Xiao Tao was not happy. Xiao Tao's eyes looked at Qi Yunyang, her eyes were slowly sincere, she dared to look at him like this, she mustered up a lot of courage.
"Because of my snubbing of you, I have indeed snubbed you a little in the past few years, the city has just been established, and many things have to come one by one, these ......" Qi Yunyang wanted to explain something.
Xiao Tao shook her head, "Xiao Tao understands, but Xiao Tao is not happy, Xiao Tao doesn't like the general." Xiao Tao looked at Qi Yunyang directly.
Ordinary people don't dare to look at Qi Yunyang at all, no matter if they have a weak heart or what, but Xiao Tao not only dares to look at each other, but also looks at it for a long time, which is not something ordinary people can do.
This word made Qi Yunyang a little overwhelmed, he was silent, and he didn't know how to answer Xiao Tao.
"You rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow." Qi Yunyang's gaze shifted to official business.
Xiao Tao stood up, and when he was about to walk to the door, Xiao Tao stopped and saluted Qi Yunyang.
"It's a blessing for Xiao Tao to be able to become a husband and wife with the general, but Xiao Tao can't afford this blessing, if the general really pities Xiao Tao, let Xiao Tao leave here."
"I'll talk about it tomorrow." Qi Yunyang buried his head in business, looking like he was doing business, and he didn't want to say anything to Xiao Tao now.
Xiao Tao looked at him, opened the door, and left the place.
The wind was a little cool at night, and only the light in the study room in the entire city lord's mansion was kept on, and it was on for a long time, and it was not extinguished until the second half of the night.
Early the next morning, Xiao Tao said that she wanted to go out to buy some rouge gouache, so she took a portable maid and left the house in a carriage.
This walk, to noon did not come back, the guard guarding the door noticed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked people to go to the nearby rouge gouache shop to inquire, where they found the maid who was tied, the maid said that the lady left here by herself, the guard heard that it was not good, and immediately hurried to the city lord's mansion.
In the desert, the yellow sand is flying, in this yellow sand, a man in a red monk's robe is slowly marching, he covers his head with a red scarf, followed by a camel, the camel's hump is very high and very large, the old camel meekly follows behind the man, the camel's eyelashes are very long, the eyelashes are lowered, and the man in front of him has the same face as the world is written.
There is an oasis in the desert's loyalty, and it is said that those who can find the oasis are the pride of the sky.
The man walked for a while, and finally came to the oasis, his lips were slightly dry, his face was still so delicate, it was no different from usual, the delicate face would not bring him any benefit, especially in this oasis, everyone was yellow-black skin, only he was different, he had to wrap his head with a silk scarf, only a pair of eyes were exposed.
The man approached the locals and wanted to stay here, and the locals brought him to the governor.
The governor was a man in his thirties, with dark skin, and he just glanced at the man and asked him to remove the veil from his head, because it was disrespectful to cover his face with a veil here.
"Let's go, this is not the place for you." When the governor saw the man's face, he drove away, he didn't want to take a second look, it wasn't that the man was not good-looking, it was the opposite.
"How can I stay here?" The man asked undiscouragedly, now that he had no place to go, he heard that this was the Pure Land of the World, and he felt that only this place could take him in.
The governor continued to make a gesture of dispersion, "You go, you are not from here, you still have unfulfilled wishes, you can't stay here." ”
"I don't have any unfulfilled wishes." The man said with some stubbornness.
The governor thought for a while, called a woman, a woman in her thirties, and he called her to his side and whispered a few words.
The man stood by and looked at it, feeling very strange.
"You sleep here tonight, and you'll leave by yourself early tomorrow morning." The Governor said with great certainty, "Now you can find a tent with Shu Ya and go to sleep." ”
The man followed the woman out of the door, the sunset was slowly setting at this time, he looked at this beautiful sunset, and felt that it was a wonderful thing to stay here, the world was big, and this place should be his place.
After a peaceful night, the man woke up the next day without changing his mind, and he was anxious to tell the governor of his determination, and when he opened his eyes, he came out of the tent, only to see that everything around him was gone.
The tent and the crowd I saw yesterday were all gone, and there was nothing else in the entire oasis at this time except for him and this tent.
The sun seemed to be about to rise, and the sky was bright, and when he saw a hazy sight in the distance, he walked over with joy.
