Chapter 34: Year after Year

Zhao Li nodded and promised Aunt Zhongdao, there are still such bizarre things in the world, I am really Aunt Zhongdao's private daughter, and I am a cousin with Zhao Li.

Zhongdao Gu looked at me and said, "Ming'er, I'm going with your father, you have to listen to your cousin in the future, and with him protecting you, my mother will rest assured." ”

"That...... Mother? …… Mother! Where is my father? ”

I stumbled over a word, and my mouth seemed to be stirred up and down and couldn't be opened.

Zhongdao Gu took me in her arms, patted my back lightly with her hand, and said: "You get along with him every day, my mother originally hoped that you would find out for yourself, but you were careless, and I didn't see it for a long time." ”

"Huh?"

Get along with me every day? Old Dao Gu is actually my father?

I shuddered, now that the world has changed, women can also have children?

When I went back to the Taoist temple with Zhongdaogu and Zhao Li, the old Daogu had already sat in the temple, Zhongdaogu cried and fell beside him and couldn't cry, I also knelt, and gradually stopped crying, and Zhongdaogu bit her tongue and was martyred.

I thought that I had been alone in the world for hundreds of thousands of years of ice lotus, and I didn't feel that there was anything missing, and then I met friends in the sky, Hetu and Nuwa let me know that there is a feeling in the world called care, and then I fell in love with Zhao Li, I tasted love for the first time, and I knew that there is something in the world that makes people so unforgettable, so soul-devouring.

This time, I know that there are thousands of kinds of love in the world, but only the love of parents is beyond it, and there is really everything, that is the love of a mother for her children.

I didn't feel so sad in my heart, Zhao Li slowly took me into his arms and said gently: "Cousin, cry if you want to!" ”

My eyes were hot, and I leaned into his arms and cried bitterly.

The beginning of self-incarnation seems to be specifically designed to experience the suffering of the world.

Zhao Li helped bury my parents, and he lived in Zhuyuan according to my mother's words, and he came to see me in the Taoist temple every day.

I haven't left the Taoist temple since I was a child, he came to tell me about the outside world, sometimes I don't want to talk, he read in the room, I sat in a daze, full of quiet sandalwood, looking at a pear blossom outside the temple burst all over the tree, looking at it and feeling sleepy, leaning on the table and falling asleep, waking up and not seeing him, covered with his lake blue shirt, I sat still, and after a while he came in with a box of pastries, "This is what I went to the bottom of the mountain to buy for you, but are you hungry?" Come over and eat some. ”

Day after day, he is always meaningless to me, I think it's okay, in a hurry for decades, with him by his side, spring after winter, year after year, ten lives are not so difficult.

Another year passed, and the pear tree in front of the door was full of huge fruits, and I held a long bamboo pole and pondered under the tree, not knowing which fruit to choose.

Today Zhao Li came a little late, came after noon, as soon as I saw him, I felt that autumn went to spring, the sky was full of yellow leaves and flowers, the blue sky was vast, and the flowers bloomed silently.

Today he brought a pot of wine and a plate of moon cakes, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the mountains are cold, the Mid-Autumn Festival should be lively, you can drink some wine today." ”

He put the moon cakes and wine and food under a golden cinnamon plant, and as soon as I threw away the bamboo pole, I moved it to grab the moon cakes and eat them.

He grabbed my hand and took hot water for me.

"Don't eat like this, you have to have a stomach trouble after a while, but do you remember that time when you ate a bad stomach and rolled in bed and cried?"

He lowered his head and babbled softly, holding my pair of white fat claws in his hands, and he lowered his head, and I could only see his thick eyebrows.

I remember the time he said it, a few years ago! I ate unripe persimmons in the mountains, and my stomach hurt unbearably in the middle of the night, but fortunately Zhao Li came to see me in the morning, and saw that my face was like gold paper, and I was weakly paralyzed on the bed, he was frightened, and I was at a loss to hold me.

It's strange to say, since he came, the feeling of the knife cutting fire in my abdomen has gradually stopped, only the person has weakness, leaning on his arms and saying weakly: "Cousin, and hold me like this, it will be better for me to have you"

He sat on the edge of the bed and hugged me, and for a day and a night, I took pity on him and asked him to take off his shoes and socks and go to bed.

He hesitated, and I knew that he avoided the leisure of men and women, so I said to him, "You see that I am not yet an adult, and there are only two of us in this mountain, and my cousin does not have to care about all that red tape." ”

He went to bed and held me in his arms, my head resting on his broad chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, unprovoked.

Zhao Li washed my hands and wiped my face with a soft silk cloth before leading me to sit under the osmanthus tree.

Dusk arrived, and it was still some time before the moon came out, so he told me about the Mid-Autumn Festival in the world, and the family sat around the osmanthus tree to eat moon cakes, drink osmanthus wine, and have to make a wine order.

I listened to it very fascinated, and Hetu used to tell me this before, but I have never seen it.

He took a piece of lotus paste mooncake and handed it to me, "Why don't you eat a piece of mooncake first, and I'll take you to the town down the mountain to have a look?" ”

I was glad to respond.

He took a piece of white silk and covered half of my face and led me down the mountain.

At the beginning of the lights in the town, when the lights of thousands of homes were lit, he took me to a house, knocked the door lightly, and an old man opened the door and bowed down to welcome him in.

I was a little nervous, holding his hand a little harder, he looked at me, petted the top of my head and said, "Don't be afraid, this is my residence here, and there are no outsiders." ”

He quickly took the wine, set up a table under a big osmanthus tree in the courtyard, I drank a glass, he poured it for me again, I sighed in vain, in the past, in the Yuqing Palace often sat alone on the cloister to eat wine, the moon in the sky is always there, a big one, just ahead, if you walk a few steps can also go to the moon to find Chang'e to have a tea.

But I was alone, drunk and too lazy to leave, so I turned into my body and slept in the lotus flower for one night.

I pointed to the moon and said to Zhao Li: "There is a palace not far from that place, called Yuqing Palace, if there is any flower in this world, it is the lotus flower in that place, white and flawless, ice and jade." ”

He only took me into his arms when I was drunk, and the night was cold, and I often asked him to warm me like this lately.

I don't know when I fell asleep, he carried me into the room, and in the middle of the night I heard the screams of murder, and some mountain bandits broke into the town and robbed them.

I didn't see Zhao Li, I opened the door and went out to face a bright big knife, which pierced my body, and Zhao Li came out of another room to see this scene.

The white horse passed through the gap, and it was another 10,000 years in the blink of an eye.

After I was killed by the mountain bandits, I will do one thing, but if I am closer to Zhao, I will not die well.

So this time I was reincarnated, so I asked Hetu to come over and ask her to send me to a place far away from Zhao Li.

Hetu and Hechiko were in love with each other at that time, and I don't know what my intention was for this operation.

It was a time of war and chaos, and she didn't worry about putting me in a sparsely populated place, so she put me in a capital.

A few days after we entered the city, the enemy country attacked, and the people were not as good as the sky, and I fled out of the city with the refugees, and the wolf smoke was everywhere, and the hunger was everywhere.

That day I was hungry and panicked, leaning on a tree to retain my strength, a piece of pancake was handed to me, I didn't have to look up I knew who it was, as soon as he appeared, the sandalwood was in my nose, I hid thousands of mountains and rivers, after all, I couldn't hide.

He was dressed as a soldier, holding a piece of bread and a jug of water, "This is my ration for you to eat." ”

Meet the destined person among tens of millions of people, the time is long, the years are turbulent, once the love is in the middle, you can't escape from now on, you can't hide.

I looked at him with a clear look in my eyes, like a glass of cracked wine.

"Give it to me, what do you eat?"

His face was still immature, and he said firmly: "I am a man, and I should protect women." ”

"Oh? But why did the many women here give it to me alone? ”

Since you can't escape, you can't hide, so let's face it! The world is short, and every moment together is earned.

His eyes flickered hesitantly.

"Because. Am I a woman? ”

His face flushed instantly.

As the marching horn sounded, he walked toward the procession, occasionally looking back at me, and asked, "Will we ever see each other again?" ”

I smiled indifferently, "I'll see you again, in the place of immortality, where lotus flowers stand and where the moon is round every night." ”

He walked towards the procession, and I gave food and water to a mother and son among the refugees.

Following the team from afar, seeing that the team broke up, the soldiers turned against him, and found his body in the wilderness, Zhao Li, I came to accompany you, can you wait for me this time!

The vicissitudes of life, 10,000 years have passed, Hetu has been having morning sickness recently, so I didn't bother him anymore, it happened that Bai Ying was looking for me to drink in the lower realm, and I asked him to take me to Zhao Li.

He was so happy that he asked me to let him cast a spell to split Zhao Li, since it will take ten lifetimes, it will be faster like this, I feel that it is reasonable.

He took me to the clouds, and saw Zhao Li hoeing in the ground from a distance, he made a decision, made a burst of lightning, and left Zhao in a sunny day.

Zhao Li heard a rumbling sound in the sky, but it was going to rain that day, so he lost his hoe and ran.

One blow missed, Bai Ying cast another spell, the hurricane protruded, in the shape of a whirlpool, if Zhao Li was caught in it, he would be torn to pieces.

I don't want a hungry and panicked boar in the mountains to jump out of nowhere, and collide with Zhao Li, who is running for his life, and knock Zhao Li out a few meters away, and the boar is carried by the wind and dies instantly.

Bai Ying was still waiting to change some spell, I took his hand, "Forget it, this is fate, you can't hide it." ”

He was furious: "What life? Lao Tzu doesn't believe it, who will determine the fate of the gods? ”

I stopped him: "Forget it, you can go!" I'll stay here with him. ”

I watched him on the nearby mountain for a few days, one day the sun was empty, he was still hoeing in the field, I put the jade rabbit borrowed by Chang'e on the ground, let the rabbit run over and hit the stump of the tree, he picked it up and checked left and right, I jumped down from a tree, pointed at the rabbit and said, "Evil animal, don't you go back with me?" ”

Zhao Li came over with a rabbit, this is the girl's rabbit?

I said coldly: "Yesterday I lost the jade rabbit in the palace, and just now I saw this evil animal go down to earth without permission, she hurt you?" ”

Zhao Li held the rabbit in his arms and said along its oily and slippery fur: "I haven't been hurt, but just now it hit the stump, and it was knocked unconscious." ”

I lost color, "This is a spirit rabbit, what if it hurts?" How about that! Do you see a medical hall nearby? Please show me the way, I'll have to buy some medicine for it. ”
