The cool moonlight shone on the embarrassed Jiang Nu Temple, and the mahogany gate was blown away, shattered into sawdust, and scattered all over the ground. The roof tiles are almost intact and have several holes. The moonlight shines through the hole in the roof and into the main hall.

With this bit of white light, Xin'er searched for a candle on the ground, and after groping for a long time, she finally found a half-cut red candle, which could still be lit.

Xin'er smiled happily, as if she had found a treasure, and then found a flint and lit a red candle. The candle flame flickered, shining on the empty main hall, looking a little lonely and pitiful.

The girl held the red candle and looked around, but it was full of messes, broken tables, rotten lanterns, broken tiles on the ground, and branches blowing in from the outside, but fortunately, the statue of Goddess Jiang was not damaged, but only hung some branches and broken wood, which was already a blessing in misfortune.

Xin'er jumped onto the stage and carefully cleared the branches. Seeing that Xin'er cared so much about and cared about the statue of Goddess Jiang, the so-called love house and Wu, Yang Ming couldn't bear to let the statue of Goddess Jiang be hurt again, so he said to Zu Ze: "Zu Ze, the grievances between Jiang Nu and the ancestors thousands of years ago, since you don't tell me, I won't ask anymore." However, a thousand years have passed, and the ancestors and Jiang Nu are no longer there, so let those grievances and grievances also pass. Besides, this is just a temple, a stone statue, Zu Ze, I beg you, don't destroy the Jiang Nu Temple, okay?"

Listening to Yang Ming's words, a touch of sadness rose in Zu Ze's eyes, he looked up at the sky, and sighed, yes, a thousand years have passed, it has really been too long, too long, so long that the world has forgotten everything before, and even the Jiang Nu is only a stone statue left, and there is a salvation legend that is considered a mythical story.

"Only I, the soul who has lived for a thousand years, still persistently remembers everything before. It's really a little sad, a little lonely......" Zu Ze shook his head lightly and sighed sadly.

Yes, I can't forget it, it's the saddest thing!

Looking at Zu Ze's melancholy appearance, Yang Ming's heart suddenly felt sour, and he felt that Zu Ze was a little pitiful. For the current world, Zu Ze, a soul who has lived for thousands of years, is like a "stranger", alone and alone, to the present. No one knows his past, and everything he knows has been forgotten by the current world, his past and the present are too long apart, and this "generation gap" is too big and too far away. Sometimes, what he does seems out of place in the world.

Zu Ze retracted his past thoughts, and then said to Yang Ming: "I won't destroy the Jiang Nu Temple." ”

After speaking, Zu Ze took one last look at the statue of Goddess Jiang, at this time his eyes no longer had hatred, but a little nostalgia, and then turned around and returned to Yang Ming's body.

Yang Ming touched his chest and whispered, "Thank you, Zu Ze." ”

At this time, Xin'er had already cleaned up the debris on the statue of Goddess Jiang, and she said with some pride: "It's finally cleaned." ”

Then the girl glanced around again, and the mess on the ground made her face sad, and she had to say, "Oh, that's terrible. Forget it, tomorrow, I'll go to my father and ask him to send someone to repair it. ”

Xin'er jumped off the stone platform, placed the red candle in front of the statue of Goddess Jiang, and then folded her hands, her small face was pious, bowed to the statue of Goddess Jiang, and whispered: "Girl Jiang is above, believe in the girl Jiang Xin'er, please bless Jiang Guo, the country and the people, bless my father and the king in good health, and ......"

Yang Ming patiently watched Xin'er salute, and only after the girl got up did he walk to Xin'er's side, and then asked, "By the way, Xin'er, what is the matter with you looking for me to come here?"

At this time, Yang Mingcai finally couldn't help it and said the question he had been holding back for a long time.

Xin'er looked at Yang Ming, and suddenly smiled, and the girl's smile made Yang Ming even more confused. Xin'er said: "When I was young, I often sneaked out of the palace to play, and my favorite place to come here is here, the Jiang Nu Temple. When I was seven years old, I made a wish to Jiang Nuzeng, asking her to bless me, so that when I grow up, I can find a man I love and stay with me for the rest of my life. ”

Speaking of this, Xin'er suddenly blushed slightly, she lowered her head shyly, and then glanced at Yang Ming with the afterglow of her eyes, and then continued: "Now, I think I have found him, I like him very much, but I don't know if he likes me the same, so I want to bring him to see Jiang Nu, under the witness of Jiang Nu, I want to ask him, is it like I like him, and I also like me?"

After speaking, Xin'er turned around and stared at Yang Ming with both eyes, and the jumping candlelight was reflected on the girl's little face that was red because of shyness, it was so beautiful and fascinating. There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, if there was nothing, not strong, but very clear, it was the fragrance of the girl's body.

Yang Ming stood in place, deeply immersed in it.

In front of the statue of Goddess Jiang, a pair of teenagers and girls stared at each other, the moonlight was delicate, the breeze was breezy, and the cool night suddenly became warm like spring.

Staring at the young man's dark eyes, Xin'er asked, "Yang Ming, I like you, what about you?" ”

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Yang Ming clasped his hands and put them on Xin'er's shoulders, then looked directly into her eyes, and replied seriously: "I swear to Jiang Nu, I like you too, Xin'er." ”

"Really, would you like to marry me?" asked Xin'er shyly.

"I do. Without the slightest hesitation, without the slightest hesitation, Yang Ming immediately replied seriously.

Hearing the young man's affirmative answer, Xin'er was overjoyed, and immediately leaned forward and threw herself into Yang Ming's arms. Yang Ming hugged Xin'er tightly, the two felt each other's temperature, the two hearts that became hot because of love were tightly together, they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeat, and the jumping sound seemed to tell the oath of love.

"Jiang Nu can testify that I Yang Ming only loves Xin'er alone in my life. Yang Ming made an oath to the statue of Goddess Jiang and said.

"I, Jiang Xin'er, also swear to Jiang Nu that I will only love Yang Ming in my life, and I will not regret it until I die. Xin'er leaned on Yang Ming's shoulder and said with love.

The two hugged each other for a long time, unwilling to separate, and wanted to hug each other until dawn, and then from dawn to dark, day and night, forever and ever.

After a long time, Xin'er reluctantly left Yang Ming's arms. After confirming Yang Ming's intentions, at this time, Xin'er told Yang Ming about her agreement with King Jiang.

This is also why Xin'er is in such a hurry to bring Yang Ming to Jiang Nu Temple, because Xin'er has to confirm Yang Ming's intentions first. Now she knows that Yang Ming likes herself, and she has worked hard to make an agreement with King Jiang.

"Yang Ming, tonight my father talked to me about my marriage, and he wanted to marry me to Liu Qianyu, the son of General Liu Chen. Xin'er said to Yang Ming.

Hearing this, Yang Ming suddenly became anxious, "What, the king wants to promise you to Liu Qianyu? No, Xin'er, I like you, I want to marry you, I can't let you marry Liu Qianyu, I will beg the king, beg him to fulfill us, let me do anything, I ......"

Seeing Yang Ming's anxious appearance, Xin'er couldn't help laughing, "Haha...... Look at the scared you, don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Although my father planned to marry me to Liu Qianyu, I didn't agree. I said to my father, I have someone I like, it's you ......" After speaking, Xin'er raised her head shyly and looked at Yang Ming.

Looking at Xin'er's naughty, shy and cute appearance, Yang Ming was really a little crying and laughing, "Whew...... You, that scared me...... What did the king say? Did he agree?"

"How could my father agree so easily. My father said, I am the county lord of Jiang Kingdom, and my husband must be a general who commands all armies. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming lowered his head in some frustration, yes, Xin'er is a high-ranking county lord, and he is just a commoner, and his status is very different.

Looking at Yang Ming's disappointed look, Xin'er asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid?"

"What am I afraid of?"

"You are afraid that I am the county lord, and you are just a commoner, you are afraid that our status is very different, you will not be worthy of me, you are afraid that the dignified county lord of Jiang Guo will marry a commoner, and people will laugh at it when it is spread...... Right. ”

Xin'er seemed to see through Yang Ming's thoughts, Yang Ming smiled bitterly, what Xin'er said was indeed what Yang Ming was afraid and worried about, but after these worries were said by Xin'er, Yang Ming was not afraid.

The young man plucked up his courage and said: "I'm not afraid, although I am a civilian now, I promise you that I will work hard, I will never be a civilian for the rest of my life, I will become a general above ten thousand people, and a man worthy of the county lord." ”

Looking at Yang Ming's serious appearance and resolute eyes, Xin'er knew that she didn't love the wrong person, so she said: "I know that Yang Ming, you will not be willing to be mediocre, you are an ambitious person." I believe you. ”

"Actually, before I brought you here, I made a bet with my father, agreeing that when I am eighteen years old, that is, within six years, you will become the general of Jiang Kingdom, and then my father will marry me to you. If you can't, my father will marry me off. ”

Hearing this, Yang Ming did not hesitate for a moment. He immediately knelt on his knees, knelt in front of Xin'er, and then raised his right hand and made an oath to Xin'er seriously,

"Lord Xin'er, the statue of Goddess Jiang can testify for me, I, Yang Ming, swear to you here, I will definitely become the general of Jiang Kingdom, marry you, love you for the rest of my life, and protect you. This vow will not be repented until death. If there is any disobedience, I am willing to die through my heart. ”

Yang Ming knelt in front of Xin'er and made an oath between the general and the county lord.

Hearing this, Xin'er couldn't hide her emotion in her heart, she held Yang Ming's hands, pulled him up, and then made an oath to him as well: "Yang Ming, I also swear to Jiang Nu, not the county lord of Jiang Country, but as a woman, I, Jiang Xin'er, will not marry Yang Ming in this life, if I violate this oath, I am willing to die through my heart." ”

Xin'er swore to Yang Ming, not the oath of the general and the county lord, but the love of a man and a woman.

Regardless of whether Yang Ming will become a general or not, Xin'er has decided to become his woman.

The breeze blows, blowing the dark clouds in the night sky. The moon seemed to smell the smell of love, and couldn't help but poke her face out of the clouds to take a look at the world, the love between a boy and a girl.

......

By the time Caiyin returned to his hut in the mountains, it was already deep in the night.

The girl drank some wine tonight, and sat in the carriage all the way, and was already very tired. However, she had no intention of sleeping, and Cai Yin sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, her eyes looking in the direction of the door from time to time.

She was waiting for Yang Ming, waiting for him to come back.

However, after waiting for a long time, Yang Ming still didn't come back.

"Yang Ming and Xin'er, where did the two of them go? It's so late, why haven't they come back?" Cai Yin waited anxiously. She raised her head, looked at the lonely moon in the night sky, and thought to herself, do you want to call the little birds to help me find Yang Ming?

The girl was thinking about doing the same, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside.
