Chapter 8: The Road Down the Mountain
If Qingyan was a little inattentive and turned his head to take a look, he might find something, and Qianxi was the same, but unfortunately, neither of them turned their heads, nor even moved.
Suddenly, Twilight fell, her face pressed against the table, and the wine bowl in her hand slid to the ground, colliding with the floor crisply, rolling to Lin Chuan's feet, Twilight's hand hung weakly under the table, and the other hand only supported half of his face, and the mixture of wine stained half of his face. Lin Chuan squatted down, picked up the slippery wine bowl, and gently placed it on the table. He walked over again and shook Twilight's shoulder vigorously, "Twilight-senpai, twilight-senpai?" ”
Everyone took a deep breath and looked at Twilight, but he closed his eyes and snored like thunder, and did not answer, everyone was relieved, and it was done, the next step was to send Twilight back to the bed in the bedroom, and then go to the small boat, and then row out of the mountain carefully.
Chu Zhong and Chu Li were about to send Duqiu into the bedroom, and the two of them held his arms one on the left and one on the right. dragged his somewhat heavy body up, and walked out cautiously, but met Jiang Ci who came halfway.
"Senior brother, are you here?" Chu Zhong's face was surprised, but Chu Li was worried, Senior Brother hadn't promised to go down the mountain with us! It's just that the one who knows him best is Chu Zhong, and Chu Zhong knows that even if he is unwilling to go down the mountain with them now, he will compromise after a while. It's not because he compromises easily and doesn't stick to his principles. It's just a foregone conclusion, and it's not up to him to change it alone, he understands this, and more importantly, he doesn't want everyone to have an accident.
"I don't know what you're going to do if I'm not here?" Jiang Ci said, he was a little angry, and his tone was mixed with a bit of anger.
"Senior brother, Senior Twilight is already drunk." Chu Li said.
"Now there are only seven of us in the mountain, and we have prepared the things to go down the mountain, and we can go down at night." Chu Zhong also said. He even guessed that the senior brother was thinking about how to get down the stairs at the moment, so that he could not seem to compromise and admit defeat, alleviate the awkward atmosphere, and still maintain his majesty as a senior brother.
"That's it, that's it. If that is the case, then I will go down the mountain with you. If I don't go, if something happens, who can afford it? The elder brother waved his sleeves and entered the back room, where several people were still standing.
Everyone smiled happily at the senior brother, obviously they had heard the conversation outside just now. The senior brother also smiled and said, "You won't be allowed to do this in the future." ”
Everyone nodded, and Qingyan felt that the senior brother must also want to go down the mountain in his heart. Everyone dispersed, and each went to their respective bedrooms to pack their things, just now they said that the things had been packed up, obviously made up to deceive Jiang Ci.
Jiang Ci also went back, thinking that this was too unusual, what kind of system would it become? On the other hand, I was snickering at the hard-won opportunity to go down the mountain. Since he went up the mountain, he hadn't gone down to see it for a long time, and even, he had forgotten what it was like under the mountain.
The sound of the water sounded in my ears, and the two pulps paddled the water quite regularly, surrounded by darkness, and faintly could see the general outline of the mountain, very high, standing so silently, that the trees could encompass everything, that could swallow up all the noise, and even, like a cage, put seven children who did not know anything about the world in it. Everyone discussed the life under the mountain fiercely, and every once in a while someone else went to paddle, Qingyan supported her face with her hands and looked at the water as she did when she came. There is no moon and no stars tonight. Everywhere there was darkness, everywhere there was silence.
In the second half of the night, everyone also slept, and with longing and fantasy, they slept close together—it would be a little warmer, not cold.
Qingyan didn't feel sleepy, and it was Qianxi lying on her left, and the sound of even breathing came into her ears. On the right was Si Yu, who didn't sleep either, and there was a sigh.
"Qingyan, what do you want?" Si Yu looked at the inky night sky and asked as quietly as possible.
"I'm thinking...... Then and now. What about Senior Sister? Qingyan also asked.
"I've been training in the White Clothes School for seven years, and my parents sent me to practice martial arts, hoping that I will gallop in the future." Si Yu's face tensed in the darkness and sighed softly. "I'm not interested in any of that."
"That'...... Senior sister, you can do what you want to do! ”
"My father was a military general, he taught me martial arts since I was six years old, but he died on the battlefield. His last wish was that I could fulfill his unfulfilled wish. ”
"Senior sister," Qingyan suddenly didn't know what to say, she could comfort her, but at this moment, comfort seemed so pale and powerless.
"It's okay, perhaps, everyone has something he doesn't want to do but has to do!"
"Maybe so! Although I haven't found it yet. ”
"Sleep!" Si Yu sighed again in the darkness.
Qingyan snorted, became more sober, and fell into deeper thinking. Live for your parents' wishes? When the wish is fulfilled, the senior sister can use the rest of her life to live the life she wants! But what about yourself? I don't know how to live, what to live for! What happened in these months was like a dream, changing the name and surname, completely detaching from the past. The so-called, the luck that has been longed for, if it comes too suddenly and easily, will doubt its authenticity and add a bit of uncherished. Just like now, the descent was easy, and the excitement only lasted for a few hours.
In the end, I fell asleep, I don't know where I thought, the night, it was still very dark. Lin Chuan also let out a very slight sigh, and drifted away with the cool wind.
When I opened my eyes in the morning light, the boat had rowed not far from the source, and I could almost see the lush trees and flowers there.
Everyone immediately cheered up and prepared to row to the other side in one go, in the darkness, they couldn't even see anywhere, but the light had the ability to penetrate everything.
Qingyan rubbed her eyes and had a nightmare, probably about her being kicked out by her father and being bullied by other people, and the whole world didn't want to believe her. Fortunately, I met the master, Qingyan thought, stood up, the end of the stream, close in front of me, the morning air entered the body sweetly with the breath.
Si Yu and Qianxi, as well as the other senior brothers, were also standing there breathing in the fresh air. Jiang Ci rowed the boat hard.
