Chapter 19 Great virtue is the ability to do whatever you want
"Is there any wine?"
Michelle fetched a pot of freshly brewed fruit wine and a glass and filled it for him.
The wine in the glass is full of aroma and rich in color like amber.
"This breath?" Shen Yan sniffed it and drank it in one gulp. "The wine made by snow fruit is still a familiar taste."
"Familiar taste?" The elven wife's hand holding the pot was trembling slightly.
She knew that Yuegui was not a drinker, because he said that alcohol would affect the law of perception, and Yuegui was a person who was self-controlled to the extreme.
Michelle had only seen him drink once......
"My memories are intermittent, like broken glass. Since you don't know where to start, it's better to start with this glass of wine. Shen Yan touched the edge of the wine glass, remembering the dream he had experienced again and again. I was particularly impressed by this. That winter, you cultivated a new plant that grows in winter, Snow Fruit ......"
In Laurel and Michelle's hometown, there was originally no snow fruit.
At that time, Laurel had just discovered that her agility limit was insufficient, and she fell into a low point in her life; Michelle, on the other hand, is an obscure botanist who takes care of the elven orchard. The two of them set up their home in the mountains near the orchard because Laurel needed a quiet place to think about the road ahead, and Michelle simply because her work was close to home.
The elves of that world can be seen as universal fundamentalists.
They reject all actions that go against the laws of nature, such as greenhouses. As a result, in winter, only cellared fruits and salted preserved fruits remain in the family dish. Laurel, who was in a bad mood, lost her temper over the incident. He was trying his best to figure out the matter of the magic bow, and after venting his dissatisfaction, he forgot about it, but Michelle remembered it.
A few years later, the gifted laurel finally found a new path and rose to fame; Michelle also cultivated a fruit that could be harvested in winter, but it was not recognized by everyone because the snow fruit has a short sunshine time and the fruit has a sour taste, and there are not many people who can accept it.
The experience in the fragments of memory begins at that moment
"I remember sitting on the tree by the edge of the lumber pile, wondering how to attach more magic to the arrows, and then I saw you jumping back from the direction of the orchard by stepping on a branch.
You look a little different than usual, with a basket in your hand and a smile on your face...... It's been a long time since I've seen you smile so much. You must know that day you wore a floral dress with a light blue scarf, and in my memory, you only wear it when you are in a bad mood. Think it's because a druid elder says you don't have talent? Sorry, I can't remember the name of the elder...... Except for the things related to you, everything else is extremely vague. ”
That's because there is no information recorded in the memory fragments, of course Shen Yan doesn't know.
"And then?" Michelle urged.
When she heard Shen Yan say those memories, the elf wife trembled terribly, but it was not because of fear...... It's looking forward to it, she can't wait to hear Shen Yan continue! As for the name of the elder...... The ghost remembers his name, let him die!
"Then you jumped up to me and kicked me in the arm so I could guess what you brought back. I was in a daze, because the golden sunlight was passing through your sideburns, and there were still a few small pieces of black ash sticking to your cheeks, and the beads of sweat were not wiped off on your sideburns, making you look a little different from your usual days...... Beautiful. ”
"Remember those useless." Michelle grumbled, but her expression wasn't like that. She was clinging tightly, her cheeks were crimson, her nose was slightly sweaty, and her breathing was a little short.
"I can't help it, that scene impressed me so much, it's like ...... I just saw the same one a year and two months ago. Shen Yan swore that everything he said could be used as evidence in court.
"I guessed a few things and I didn't get it right, and then you lifted the cloth from the basket to reveal the flask underneath." Shen Yan picked up the second glass of amber syrup with a wistful expression, "You told me that you have finally found the correct use of Snow Fruit...... Although the fruit tastes sour, it is good for sake brewing.
You've been busy for a few days, and today you finally found the best recipe for snow fruit wine, and then made a pot of wine for me to taste.
I can't resist you to have a drink, it's the only drink I've ever drunk......"
Shen Yan drank all the wine in the cup, "It's exactly the same as this taste!" ”
"I'm going to drink it too!" Michelle suddenly pounced emotionally.
The cup in Shen Yan's hand was taken away and thrown away, the elf wife held his cheek and looked deeply, and then the fragrant tongue pried open his teeth domineeringly, and grabbed the wine with his tongue......
The lies work well, and the good ones are a bit overdone.
The most difficult lie in the world to crack should be the "true lie" without a single lie.
However, Shen Yan said that he wanted to slow down, even if he had the druid's "rejuvenation technique" to replenish at any time, his waist would be a little unbearable! Legendary constitution is not a panacea, especially when encountering opponents of legendary level.
"I'll tell you, you can't make friends by chatting like this!" Shen Yanyi protested solemnly! But the other party disagreed, she said, "But I still want it." The elven wife with misty eyes hugged Shen Yan's arm and said coquettishly.
Ahem, the "want" here is, of course, to listen to Shen Yan continue to talk about those past events...... Well, that's it, everyone must have understood it as well as I did!
Young people yearn for love that falls apart, and for adults, there is no greater romance in the world than "After so much time, I have forgotten you but still remember every detail".
The things that Shen Yan talked about happened five or six hundred years ago at the latest.
Human memories are constantly degrading, and old memories will be sorted out and hidden in the depths of memory, from "difficult to recall" to "never recalled". Therefore, even as one of the parties involved, Michelle only remembers one thing about hundreds of years ago, and she can't remember the specific details at all.
But Shen Yan was like taking her on a trip to "recreate yesterday" When talking about that incident, he didn't just say one thing, but said the season, climate, mountain environment, courtyard layout, furniture display, etc., all clearly, as well as the expressions, tone, tone, and content of the two of them at that time.
A lot of mental activities and praises were added in the middle, which honestly did not belong to Yuegui, but the feelings of Shen Yan who was watching from the side of Yuegui's body.
In Michelle's understanding, it was as if Shen Yan was not talking about one thing, but a painting called "The Old Days", and he was taking himself back to the past.
This happened hundreds of years ago for Michelle, but for Shen Yan, it happened a year and two months ago.
At that time, he experienced these things in his dreams every day, and many things were repeated dozens of times! Shen Yan dared to guarantee that he remembered it better than Yuegui, and those details were as clear as a knife carved in his mind, Shen Yan said where the flowers were placed, where the trees were, how the furniture was arranged, how many bowls of rice and vegetables to eat that day...... Everything is vivid!
Among them, Michelle remembered every word clearly.
How can an elf wife not be moved?
Especially with Shen Yan's narration, her dusty memories for many years were also activated, and she also remembered more details. It's like two people traveling through time at the same time...... When she discussed with Shen Yan, she found that Shen Yan really didn't lie to her.
Whether he said it or didn't say it, he really "remembered" his home and himself very clearly;
On the contrary, for the Elven Kingdom, the God of Order, and the extremist organization he participated in that Yue Gui cared about in the past, Shen Yan remembered some basic things, and most of the rest were "forgotten" completely!
Those are the things that Yuegui experienced personally, he once risked his life to do it back then, and many deeds are still circulated as heroic stories, and now no matter what Michelle prompts, "he" just can't remember. Michelle can be sure that Shen Yan is not lying, it is not easy to deceive level 30 Dade, Dade eats by perception!
Shen Yan really didn't remember that because it involved religious brainwashing and other memories that affected his independent personality, Penny helped clean them before handing them over to Shen Yan, Shen Yan hadn't even looked at them, of course he didn't remember.
The elf wife hugged Shen Yan tightly, and it was good that she didn't remember...... No, it's just amazing!
Michelle wants to fly, Shen Yan, I didn't expect you to be such a fifty percent!
It must be that the god of nature heard my prayers!
Let's put it this way, even the most intimate couples have a lot of dissatisfaction with their other half. For example, Chen Xiaoyu, even if she is so obsessed with Shen Yan that she doesn't want to be motivated, dissatisfied with his house, playing games, dissatisfied with throwing water everywhere when he washes his face, and dissatisfied with him secretly watching action movies of Japanese female teachers.
This kind of dissatisfaction Michelle naturally has.
She was dissatisfied with Yuegui's lonely words, dissatisfied with his addiction to the way of archery, in her opinion, it was not difficult to be a legend or something, and dissatisfied with his attitude of only paying for the elven kingdom without asking for anything in return. Especially in the later period, Yuegui devoted herself to an extremist organization, and the husband and wife almost cut off contact...... The reason why she is struggling to find laurel is that I am afraid that the factor of love only accounts for part of it, and it is more of her own obsession.
Now a miracle has appeared, although only 50% is left, but it seems that all the good ones are left, and all the "bad" ones are rolled away!
Don't say that love should be complete, love him and love all of him...... The person who said this is because he can't help it! This year, even your parents can't stand all of you, and they will let you get out of the New Year in a few days...... Why should a lover accept it unconditionally?
So Michelle was so moved to tears that she immediately decided that it didn't matter if she didn't remember the 50%, we didn't! Want! Finish!
"Go on, please."
Shen Yan couldn't refuse, because in his memory, the elf wife had never been so coquettish to Yuegui.
"Well, I'll tell you one more thing that impresses me. I remember that there were two trees in front of our house at the foot of the tail fin snow mountain, one was a laurel tree and the other was a laurel tree...... Hey, what are you going to do? Stop it! This is just a bad joke told by Mr. Lu, I'm not teasing you...... Wait, my waist! ”
Then came the voice of the elven wife, "Heal the serious injury!" ”
PS: Well, Dazhang, that's all for today.
