Chapter 257: The Peach Blossom Spring
The sun and the moon turned, and there was nothing to say all night.
Early in the morning, Ah Fu took the freshly washed Yongyi to Ye Ziyi's bedroom, two dolls with similar appearances, and they were born so cute that the servants in this courtyard all looked straight at them.
Walking to the door, Afu pulled Yongyi to stand still and instructed him. "Hello is waiting here, I will go to my mother first. ”
"Okay!" Yongyi nodded very obediently, looking at Ah Fu with fawn-like eyes, full of trust and worship.
"Hmm. Ah Fu pretended to raise his chin, looking like an adult, and walked towards the door of the dormitory with his hands behind his back and his head held high.
As soon as he entered the hall, Ah Fu lost the deliberate appearance of his brother, he looked inside, and saw that the gauze tent of the big couch was hanging, and couldn't help but hesitate, and called the maid on the side and asked.
"Is the county lord awake? Why haven't you gotten up yet?"
"Back to Xiaolang, this morning the county lord and the county lieutenant Huangfu went out and were not in the palace. ”
"What? Mother is out? Why does she have to go out like that? What is the matter of Mei in charge? Didn't she stop her mother?"
As soon as he heard that Ye Ziyi was out of the door, Ah Fu was anxious, and he asked the maid with his eyes open.
The maidservant was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said. "This ...... The slave didn't know that the county lord was in a hurry, and he didn't think he had asked the master. ”
"Tsk! Brother Huangfu is really, always letting his mother go! How can he go out when he was so sick yesterday? It's really ......" Ah Fu stomped his foot, turned around and trotted out of the door.
Seeing Ah Fu running out, Yong Yi stepped forward to stop Ah Fu Dao, who was anxious. "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Oh! Don't get in my way! Mother is gone, I have to go and find her back!" Ah Fu saw Yongyi standing in a daze, and he didn't let go, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
Yongyi thought about it, tilted his little head, and looked at Ah Fudao. "Brother don't be in a hurry, instead of rushing out to look for it, it is better to ask the maid mother where she is, and it is not too late to look for it. ”
"Oh, I was in a hurry, I forgot about it, yes, yes, I should have asked them to find it. Ah Fu nodded, turned around and ran towards the dormitory.
Yongyi glanced at the palace worriedly, rolled his eyes, and ran towards the outside of the courtyard.
......
In the late autumn season, the usual sultry sunshine and mist in the summer of Xishu also become refreshing, the ginkgo trees on both sides of the river are golden and brilliant, beautiful, and the fan-like fallen leaves float in the water, under the morning sun, as if scattering a piece of gold leaf.
The calm river was suddenly broken by a small boat, which cut through the golden surface of the river, and walked slowly as leisurely as if enjoying the scenery.
"Didn't you say that there was a vision in the cave of Taoyuan? you were in a hurry to pull me out early in the morning, just to see this scenery?"
Ye Ziyi leaned on the mouth of the canopy of the boat, looking at the brilliant golden yellow in front of her, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and there was no annoyance in the question.
Huang Fuyue, who was sitting on the bow of the boat, glanced back at Ye Ziyi, and the corners of his lips hooked.
"The autumn scenery here is the most beautiful, I have always wanted to take you to see, but I always have no leisure, yesterday I saw that the king of Qi came to disturb, I wanted to take you out to relax, save him from disturbing the quiet. ”
Hearing Huang Fuyue mention Gongzicheng, the smile on Ye Ziyi's face froze, she turned her eyes to look at the riverbank, and said in a low voice. "Ah Yue, don't mention him again, now, I don't want to think about anything else, I just want to take a good look at this autumn scene. ”
"Good. Huang Fuyue nodded, turned his head and raised the corners of his lips slightly, he squinted slightly, closed his eyes and enjoyed the river breeze with the fragrance of ginkgo, his face was full of comfort and happiness.
The boat followed the river and rowed through the ginkgo forest, against the south bank, into a tributary, and into a crevice in the mountain wall.
The eyes suddenly darkened, making Ye Ziyi a little uncomfortable, she closed her eyes, looked up at the thin blue sky above her head, and stared for a long time without coming back to her senses.
The sound of oars hitting the water echoed between the mountain walls, one after the other, like a continuous musical sound.
In this piece of heaven and earth, time and space seem to have turned into nothingness, and this world seems to have nothing but the sound of the water recircling.
I don't know how long it took, but the boat passed through a field of falling vines and sailed into a bright spring light.
Opposite the hole drilled out by Ye Ziyi's boat, there is a field of pink peach blossoms, which are scorching and shining in the midday sun in late autumn, reflecting the river bank like a fairyland.
Looking at the sunny riverbank on the other side, Ye Ziyi slowly stood up with the canopy, with a gentle and yearning smile on her lips, and her dark eyes were full of expectation.
When he came to the shore, Huang Fuyue stood up, held the pedal, jumped onto the shore, laid the pedal, stretched out his hand, looked at Ye Ziyi and smiled slightly.
"Alright, come down, I'll take you inside. ”
"Okay, I'll check it out and see if you're lazy. Ye Ziyi's eyes bent, he grabbed his arm and got off the boat, looking sideways at the peach grove on the shore. "At this time, there are only peach blossoms here, right?"
"No, since the hot springs were brought over, the peach blossoms here bloom all year round. As Huang Fuyue spoke, Ye Ziyi had already walked towards the peach trees under the mountain wall on the shore.
This place is a deep pit in the mountains like a sinkhole, with a round blue sky at the top, and a waterfront at the bottom, which occupies more than half of the ground, except for the hole where the boat came in and a cave on the mountain wall next to the peach forest, there is no way out.
The sunlight shining in from the hole on the top sprinkled between the pink peach petals, Yingying was like pink crystal chalcedony, and the pink reflected on Ye Ziyi's pale face, as if she had been coated with a layer of rouge, which made her angry in an instant.
"The flowers here are blooming so beautifully. Ying Bai's fingers brushed the pale pink petals, and Ye Ziyi looked at the peach blossoms on the tree and said softly. "In the past, I always envied someone who could be accompanied by a peach forest and enjoy poetry and wine, but now, I can also taste what I wish after I die. ”
"Ah Ye ......" Huang Fuyue stepped forward to hold Ye Ziyi's thin shoulders, looking at the silver strands in her hair, and couldn't help but have a layer of wetness in her eyes. "I will accompany you, I will guard you for the rest of your life. ”
"Ah Yue," Ye Ziyi turned around, looked up at Huang Fuyue, and said solemnly. "Have you forgotten what you are going to do? What you have to do is to revitalize the line of the emperor, you have to carry forward your branch, I have to keep you by my side, not so that you can accompany me, a dead man, to die alone. ”
"Ah Ye, none of that matters. Huang Fuyue looked at Ye Ziyi's eyes and said firmly. "In my life, I have only been affectionate to you, guarding your grave, and being with you, this is what I want, all these years, my heart, don't you understand?"
"Ah Yue, I only treat you as my brother, and I have never been emotionally attached to you, you know, right? What you want is not what I want, understand? I want you to live well, marry a wife and have children, spread out the branches, just like Ah Fu and Yongyi, live happily. If it weren't for the end of my life, I would also want to live well, so if it was for me, you should also live like an ordinary person, instead of guarding some grave!"
Huangfu Yue looked at Ye Ziyi blankly, a layer of tears slowly appeared in his eyes, and his hand slowly slid down her shoulder.
"Without you, what is the difference between my life and death? Ah Ye, you don't understand, you won't understand. ”
"Don't mention this again, okay?" Ye Ziyi raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, looking at his lowered eyes. "Ah Yue, you owe me a life, remember? Use it to live well for me, this world, it's not easy to live, don't waste it, okay?"
"My life is given by you, Ah Ye, I just want you to be happy, by your side, to make you the most proud woman in the world, that's all. ”
Huang Fuyue's voice was choked, his long eyelashes were covered with tears, and the tears fell one by one, at this time, he was like a wronged child, stubbornly straightening his back, but he was so confused that he didn't know what to do.
"Ah Yue, you live happily, I feel happy, you have revived the Huangfu family, then life will be truly meaningful, right? Let those who have betrayed your mother and son see that you are alive and well, better than any of them! This is what you should do. ”
Ye Ziyi lowered her eyes and smiled lowly, and said softly. "It's good to be alive, isn't it? Live a wonderful life, it's your reward for me. ”
Huang Fuyue raised his eyes and looked at Ye Ziyi steadily, and only after a while did he turn around and secretly wipe away his tears, and said in a low voice. "Let's go, go see what you want. ”
Ye Ziyi looked at his back and didn't speak, she knew Huang Fuyue's thoughts, and she also hoped that she would not be too lonely and lonely after death, but she couldn't ruin an innocent person's life, whether he was voluntary or not.
Everyone is born to experience the joy of this world, after this, can be regarded as a life, for a dead person to waste his life in vain, this is not worth it, she will not allow it, after all, in the past five years, she really treated Huang Fuyue as a family member, she did not allow him to waste his life in vain.
The cave next to the peach tree is more than one person high, the arch of bluestone is built flat and smooth, and the tomb beast is carved on both sides of the stone door, and the hideous face makes people frightened at first sight.
Huang Fuyue stepped forward and pushed open the stone door, and immediately a cool breath came out of the cave, and the two entered the cave one after the other, and in the blink of an eye, it was another world.
The cave was full of glittering firelight, and more than 100 stone pillar lampstands were burning, illuminating the stone room the size of a palace.
On the high platform in the middle of the stone room, there is a huge incense burner, the bronze body of the furnace, half of it is in the ground, half of it is in the center of the high platform, the incense burner is not lit at this time, and the polished hollow pattern shines under the lamplight, which is very dazzling.
After taking a closer look at the copper furnace, Ye Ziyi turned his head and asked Huangfu Yuedao. "Ah Yue, what is this?"
Yong said that the great witch of their Longjiang clan can make immortal incense, and after death, it will be burned in the tomb, which can make the body not rot for thousands of years. Huangfu Yue paused, and looked sideways at Ye Ziyi with slightly red circles in his eyes. "I beg him to find him, and he burns here, even if you leave, your face will still be ......"
The same look?
Ye Ziyi smiled faintly, what is the use of the so-called thousand-year-old immortality?
"You have a heart. Ye Ziyi sighed lightly and glanced at the stone staircase on the side. "Is the burial chamber up there?"
Huang Fuyue lowered his eyes and nodded, the corners of Ye Ziyi's lips were lightly raised, and he walked towards the long stone staircase.
