Chapter 21 Private Meeting
Walking on the rope bridge connecting the two peaks, the night is even thicker, and the pitch black under your feet is like being immersed in ink, and the night sky overhead is more and more clearly visible.
Close to the sky, the starry sky seems to be within reach, and you can see the bright stars drifting back and forth in the Milky Way.
Jiang Zhengxin stretched out his slender hand to touch the stars: "I have never seen the stars so closely. ”
Her eyes were bright, because they were full of joy, because they were full of stars.
"Do you like it?"
"Well, I love it. I now know that Biwa Zhu Lou and Jinge Yutai are far less beautiful than this rope bridge. ”
Yue Yue smiled and said: "I also like it here, when I was a child, I often came here to watch the stars, lying on the rope bridge to see that it was a night, sometimes I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next day, I could still see the morning sunrise, and the clouds were steaming." ”
"After listening to you, I really want to spend the night here, waiting to see the sunrise tomorrow."
Yu Yue shook her head and persuaded: "The night on the top of the mountain is cool, and it is easy for a girl of your family to get sick when the wind blows overnight, and it will be the same when you get up early tomorrow." ”
The night here is indeed cold, and he has been sick twice for spending the night here. But the child always healed the scar and forgot the pain, and when he was sleepy when he looked at the stars, he fell asleep on the rope bridge by himself. Sometimes I woke up in a daze and found myself on my father's broad, solid back. The father, who had come to him, did not say much, did not reproach him in the slightest, but silently carried him back from the cold night to the warm room......
Jiang Zhengxin didn't say much, nodded in agreement.
For her, what Wei Yue said is much more effective than her brother's words, and if Wei Yue says that it is cold at night, she will agree that it must be cold at night, so she will come to see it tomorrow. But if Jiang Zhengyu said this, she would retort to him, "Where is it cold?" I don't think you have to be old to feel cold. ”
Obviously it is the same sentence, one is like a good medicine prescribed by a famous doctor, and the other is like a fake medicine sold by charlatans. Maybe it's because Yue Yue has never lied to her, and her brother always makes fun of her.
"Xiao Yue, you said that we are so close to the sky, will we wake up the immortals who are sleeping in the sky?"
"Do you believe there will be immortals?"
"Of course, I've seen it with my own eyes. When I was younger, he promised to help me fulfill my wishes. ”
"And then, did your wish come true?"
"No, he should have forgotten and forgotten me."
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhengxin was a little lost, and couldn't help lowering his head, like an abandoned kitten, full of grievances.
Yu Yue comforted her softly: "I heard that immortals can't sleep, so we won't disturb them when we talk, you can tell them your wish again, maybe they will remember when they hear it." ”
This is the words of coaxing children, Jiang Zhengxin listened to it but took it seriously, his mood became clear again, and he said happily: "You are right, now that you are so close to them, the gods should hear it." ”
With that, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes and began to make a wish.
"Goo-goo-"
The voice was very small and strange, but Yue Yue didn't understand, frowning slightly, looking at her puzzled.
Jiang Zhengxin raised his eyes, blinked his eyes at Yue Yue, and said shyly: "I, I'm hungry...... Before the wish was made, my stomach screamed. ”
Wei Yue's eyebrows stretched, she pursed her thin lips lightly but couldn't help laughing, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, with a little helplessness, and a little doting, and said to her: "Let's go to the East Kitchen to see if there is anything to eat." ”
Maybe the night is too dark, or maybe it's not careful, this spoiling is like a frosting in the water, and there is no trace in the water, so that neither of them notices it......
The ingredients in the east kitchen are very complete, firewood, rice, oil, salt, vegetables, fish and meat are neatly placed, but there is no ready-made food.
Yue Yue thought that there would be some pastries and snacks left, but he didn't expect that after dinner, everyone was swept away, and even the last plate of peanuts was taken away by the ancestor.
Neither of them can cook, you look at me, I look at you, and they looked at each other for a long time.
Jiang Zhengxin blamed herself for picking her mouth, if she ate more for dinner, she would not have caused this kind of trouble to Wei Yue, she pretended to be casual and said: "It's okay Xiaoyue, I'll just take a carrot and nibble on it." ”
Wei Yue shook his head and refused, he knew what it was like to be hungry, so he didn't like to see others starving, not to mention that letting friends go hungry in his own home was not hospitality. So he took a few sweet potatoes and took Jiang Zhengxin to the open land in the back mountain.
The slowly lit fire added some light to the dark night, and a soft circle of light spread out to envelop the figures of the two men inside.
The freshly roasted sweet potatoes were wrapped in a layer of plant ash, and Yue Yue dusted them off with her hands, and then handed them to Jiang Zhengxin: "Be careful of scalding." ”
At this time, Jiang Zhengxin was looking at him with his chin propped up, with a smile in his eyes. She didn't expect that such a delicate and dusty person as Yu Yue would actually bake sweet potatoes, just like watching the immortals cook on fire, it was really interesting.
The deep purple pupils met the smiling eyes, he didn't know what she was thinking, and said to her: "Eat quickly, aren't you hungry, this can be eaten, I promise." ”
Jiang Zhengxin smiled and nodded, reached out to pick up the sweet potato, and happened to see the ashes on Yue Yue's hand. She wanted to take out a handkerchief and give it to him, but she thought that the handkerchief had already been used to wrap his wounds, and she was too embarrassed to wipe it with her hands, so she blew it with her mouth and blew off the ashes for him.
Her action was like a little beast always like to smell and explore things, it was just an instinctive reaction, and she didn't think too much about it at all.
But Wei Yue's heart was messy by the crisp numbness of her fingertips, like a dye pool of emotions suddenly being stirred, so that the originally simple emotions were intertwined and fused into colorful colors.
He had always been emotionally lacking, and he didn't understand what it was like in his heart, so he sat there ignorantly and dazedly, with his back straight, and looked at his hand for a moment.
Peeling off a thin layer of potato skin, the aroma of sweet potatoes poured out with wet white heat, and the sweet and soft red flesh tempted the mouth. Jiang Zhengxin tasted it and praised it loudly: "It's delicious!" Xiaoyue's baked sweet potatoes are great! ”
Yu Yue smiled: "I will only do this, it's rare that you like it." ”
When he was a child, he didn't have anything to eat, he picked up something, so he made a fire and put something on it to roast it.
At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and two disciples came with lanterns, they didn't expect to meet Yu Yue, and hurriedly gave a salute.
"Palace Master."
"It's so late, no rest?" Yue Yue asked.
"We just came back from Shuxuan, and we saw a fire on the road, so we came to take a look because we were afraid that there would be a fire in the back mountain, didn't we disturb you?"
Yu Yue said gently: "It's okay, I roasted some sweet potatoes, sit down and eat them together." ”
Invited by the palace master, one of the disciples happily wanted to sit down, but was hurriedly stopped by the other disciple, "Thank you palace master, it's just that the Yuwen sect master is still waiting for us to send him the roster, I'm afraid it's too late, so he will sleep." ”
Yu Yue didn't doubt it, nodded and said, "In that case, you can take a few sweet potatoes and taste them with Mr. Yuwen." ”
After the two disciples thanked them, they took a few sweet potatoes and hurried away, and only when they were far away did they whisper: "The palace master asked us to eat together, why are you leaving?" ”
"Don't you see that the palace master is meeting the beautiful woman in private? We can't spoil his good deeds. ”
"Oh, I see, then the next time we see the palace master with this girl, we'll go farther away."
The two disciples didn't know that Yu Yue had practiced masked before, and his ears were extremely good, and all the words he said had been heard.
At this time, the person who had overheard the corner of the wall had a fever in his ears, his cheeks were red, and he couldn't help coughing lightly. Private meeting? ……
