Yan Shan: Twenty-three
Why did you decide to stay with Ah Yu? Qiao Yan thought about this question for a while, but he really couldn't arrange any reasonable reason, and in the end he had to wake up his lust and have no other reason.
Qiao Yan comforted herself, she has lived so much, it is rare to meet a man she likes, she can't stay in the world forever with him, and he won't accompany her back to the mountains, so, she only spent two or three days to love well, and from then on she returned to Taihang Mountain and never came out, presumably her father would forgive her.
The young woman in the house, because her father's father was sick, took the child back to her mother's house to live, except for the two rooms where Qiao Yan and the two lived, only locked the door of the house next to her, collected the rent for a few days in advance, and left with a smile. At this moment, there were only two people left in the small farmhouse, Qiao Yan and Yu Zhi, the two of them went in and out to talk, teasing the dogs and feeding the chickens, and even the vegetable garden planted by the woman at the door was watered by Qiao Yan.
Yu Zhi is always quiet, watching Qiao Yan when he is doing this, and from time to time he will take a hand, although many times he will still blame Qiao Yan for being stupid, but there is always a faint smile in his eyes.
Qiao Yan sometimes wants to ask Yu Zhi if he likes her too, but every time he plucks up the courage to say something to his mouth, he is so ashamed that he seems to be strangled by someone's neck, and he can't ask no matter what, and Yu Zhi seems to be used to seeing her like this, so he will always lower his eyes and scold him again.
In recent days, it seems that since the last time Qiao Yan met the green snake, there have been fewer and fewer things about demons in the nearby towns, and Qiao Yan has become a little worried, because she knows that the green snake must not be the prodigal son she persuaded to turn back, but may only be secretly brewing more rampant actions.
Thinking about Ah Fu, who had a miserable background, Qiao Yan felt that if the green snake did something that harmed the world again, then she must do something, otherwise she would live secretly for the rest of her life, and she would inevitably live in guilt.
After midsummer, the annual begging festival begins, people put the folded lanterns in the river, let the lanterns with faint candles go down the river, colorful colors drift with the current, like a shining galaxy.
Qiao Yan squatted by the small river not far from the courtyard, counting the river lamps that floated along the river and had not yet been extinguished, and from time to time scooped up a few and opened them, to see the wishes that people had made towards the morning and twilight.
There were footsteps behind him slowly approaching, accompanied by a melodious flute, Qiao Yan squatted by the river, did not look back, through the light of the lantern under the willow tree on the riverbank, faintly saw Yu Zhi's figure.
Rolled up his sleeves and picked up a lotus river lamp from the river again, Qiao Yan turned it on, with the subtle light and excellent eyesight, he could see the handwriting on it, and happily looked towards Yu Zhidao behind him: "Ah Yu, there is only a person who makes a wish to be nominated for the gold list and then marries a virtuous wife, I waited for a long time, and finally waited for a person who asked for a wishful husband, you said that I put the river lanterns of the two of them together, will they be together?" ”
The melodious sound of the flute suddenly stopped, Yu Zhi looked at the lake, saw the clusters of river lamps tied together with water and plants, and asked, "What are those?" ”
Qiao Yan looked at the lights on the river, stretched out his hand and pointed one by one: "That one is the one who hopes to be cured from a serious illness, the one next to him is the one who hopes to rejuvenate his wonderful hands, and the other one, that one is eager to have a child, and the other one I waited for a long time, and finally waited for someone who hoped that her husband would die early." ”
Yu Zhi held the flute, put his hand behind his back, and wondered: "Why should the one who seeks a son and the one who expects her husband die early be put together?" ”
Qiao Yan said as a matter of course: "Isn't it true that people will enter reincarnation when they die?" Since the man's husband is going to die early, if he dies, he will be reincarnated as a human being, and reincarnated into the family that seeks children, isn't it the best of both worlds? ”
The emerald flute turned back and forth a few times on the tips of his slender fingers, and Yu Zhi chuckled lightly and commented: "It's reasonable." ”
After receiving the compliment, Qiao Yan was happy, turned his face and asked, "Ah Yu, do you have any wishes?" ”
Yu Zhi looked up at the starry sky, as if he had thought for a long time, and remembered something a long time ago, "Once, it seemed to be in the immortal class." ”
Qiao Yan listened, nodded, and commented in Yu Zhi's tone: "Although it is a little difficult, I believe that you will achieve it." ”
Recognized, Yu Zhi looked at Qiao Yan, with a little tenderness in his eyes, and looked at it quietly for a long time before he said: "After tomorrow, you can find another place to live." ”
Qiao Yan said: "What do you mean? Isn't it good in the Taihang Mountains? ”
Yu Zhi moved his gaze to the river lamps, and his voice seemed to be faintly hoarse, "Perhaps, other places are also suitable for you." ”
"Nope."
Qiao Yan got up and rubbed in front of Yu Zhi, "There are monkeys and Yingying in Taihang Mountain, as well as three masters, and a group of rabbits in the back mountain, although I am not a real demon king, but they are all my family." ”
Saying that, Qiao Yan looked at Yu Zhi, and his expression could not hide his sadness, "Ah Yu, although I may not see you in the future, I will definitely miss you, in the future, I will look at the clouds in Taihang Mountain, I will definitely remember your appearance, I, I ......" Qiao Yan said, and began to speak a little incoherently, "Ah, Ah Yu, I like you, but the shemales have different paths, I have no other way, I ......"
Suddenly hugged tightly by a pair of arms, Qiao Yan felt that her heart was pounding, and she couldn't tell whether it was her own or the other party's, and she only felt the warmth around her like the afterglow that was about to end, and the brilliance was gorgeous, melting into her life.
His lips were close to the slightly cool ears of the person in his arms, Yu Zhi closed his eyes, hugged the person in his arms tighter, seemed to break through the shackles imprisoned in his heart, was intoxicated, and whispered: "Yan'er, I like you too." ”
Qiao Yan listened to the words in his ear, and he didn't know how to express the sweetness and surprise in his heart, he was excited for a long time, so he simply stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around the other party's neck, bit himself to the red lip, and the Lord sent it over.
The unextinguished river lamps in the small river gather more and more, and the river surface reflects the sparkling light under the reflection of the lights, this kiss is delicate and long, as if it doesn't care where it is, doesn't care about how long the earth is, only at this moment, leaving the most poignant reflection on each other's hearts.
I don't know how long it took, feeling that the person in his arms had lost his strength, and was about to fall asleep in his arms, Yu Zhicai picked up Qiao Yan and walked towards his room.
And where he was standing, there was a violet-colored sachet quietly falling, and the light-seeking noctuidae approached, stayed for a moment, and then fell to the ground with a clatter, as if it had drunk the intoxicating wine of this world.
Qiao Yan seemed to have a very beautiful dream, in which she was dressed in colorful glow, and ran happily towards her beloved, who was also waiting for her, and at that time the heavens and the earth testified for them, and from then on they became husband and wife. It's just that for some reason, Qiao Yan only heard the lively sound of ritual music around him, and at some point replaced it with a roaring thunder, and when he looked up, Qiao Yan found that the original red glow in the sky had turned into an overwhelming cloud. The clouds were so thick that she couldn't breathe, and she stumbled forward, and found that Ah Yu, who was waiting for her, was chained to a full body at some point, and sank in the cold water, making it difficult to raise her head, and she herself seemed to have been struck by a thunderbolt, and the pain in her heart spread from between her arms to her limbs.
"Ah Yu!"
Qiao Yan sat up with a scream, dizzy for a while, listening to the noise in his ears, and when the dizzy house stopped turning, Qiao Yan saw clearly that the people around him had changed to foxes at some point, and the fox, who was coquettish and mean on weekdays, was full of panic at this time, and was biting Qiao Yan's arm with his sharp teeth.
Qiao Yan was in pain, and when he raised his foot, he kicked the frenzied fox away, and the fox fell heavily on the cabinet against the wall, and did not fight with Qiao Yan as usual, but regardless of the pain, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and kowtowed to Qiao Yan: "Lord Demon King, help, help!" ”
This toss made Qiao Yan confused, shook his head a little dizzy, and saw that the fox was covered with scars at this time, half of its claws were bitten off, and Ping Suri's high head was knocked on the ground, which was already covered with dirt and scars.
Although there are a lot of ordinary fights and troubles, but Qiao Yan and the fox do not have a bitter enmity after all, I wanted to hurry over to help the fox up, Qiao Yan moved, only to find that he was weak and weak, as if he had eaten the anesthetic fruit in the forest.
"You, you, get up." Qiao Yan got up and sat on the edge of the bed, and quickly waved his hand at the fox to stop her from continuing to kowtow.
The fox had flexible eyesight, and immediately got up and went to Qiao Yan's side, and said with tears in his eyes: "Lord Demon King, help!" ”
Qiao Yan raised his injured arm and said, "I thought you were going to eat me?" Why are you begging me for help? ”
"Green snake, green snake is in danger! No, no, no! The fox was incoherent, and shook his head again and again, "It's the demon in the entire Taihang Mountain, it's going to be over!" ”
Qiao Yan was puzzled, but he had never seen a fox like this, so he hurriedly asked, "You can understand it, what's going on?" ”
The fox thought of the green snake, and cried more and more sadly, and said intermittently: "Xianjun, Xianjun set up a demon punishment array, to kill the demons in the entire Taihang Mountain, the green snake worked hard to send me and the wild boar out, he asked us to find you, let you beg you to be good, let us go!" ”
Qiao Yan listened in a fog, and didn't understand: "I've heard of the Demon Punishment Array in Xianjun, but why did you kill us?" After thinking about it carefully, without waiting for the fox to answer, Qiao Yan suddenly said a little weakly: "It's because the green snakes kill innocents indiscriminately, right?" ”
When the fox heard this, he cried even more fiercely, "The green snake said, you are a good person from Xianjun, he asked you to beg, as long as Xianjun disperses the demon array, then he will never live forever and never go out of Taihang Mountain." ”
