"Wei Qing, why haven't I seen the two of them since I woke up, where did they go?"

"Haha, the two of them are galloping on donkeys and sharing the prosperity of the world."

Zixia rolled her eyes, knowing that Gu Weiqing's comic attribute had made another mistake: "Talking about people!" ”

"Ahem, they knew that they had come to Chang'an ten years ago, and they didn't have to worry about the harassment of the divine realm, so they went out to look for poetry and distance."

There are two lies in this sentence, first, the divine realm doesn't care about teasing the two little demons at all. Second, they are not going to travel, but have the task assigned by Gu Weiqing, if successful, this is likely to affect the fate of everyone.

The reason why I don't say Zixia Qingxia is not because of machismo and wanting to carry it alone, but because as long as this plan is leaked a little, there will be no possibility of success. Even the comic who performs the task only knows the specific task, but does not know the ultimate goal.

When Zixia heard Gu Weiqing's words, she said, "Oh, so that's the case, I'll just say why I didn't see them." ”

"It's getting late."

"Well, my sister is coming out soon. Let's go back to our rooms, and you still have to salute!" Zixia said with a smile, she didn't seem to have any dissatisfaction, and was full of blessings for her sister Qingxia and Gu Weiqing together.

"Well, let's go!"

When night came, Zixia fell asleep, and when Qingxia woke up, she found herself wearing a red headscarf on her head and a new dress on her body. She knows that today is the day to marry Wei Qing.

Although she couldn't see it, she felt Gu Weiqing sitting next to her: "Qingxia, are you awake?" ”

"Wake up."

"Let's get married."

"Hmm."

The conversation between the two is very flat, but the love in the tone makes both of them feel the other's love for themselves. After the wedding ceremony, Gu Weiqing said, "Qingxia, I'll take you to a place." ”

"Okay."

The two wore red wedding dresses, hid their breath, and came to the wall of Chang'an City. The lights are bright, the people are buzzing, and there is no sign of darkness in sight, only the moon overhead makes people realize that it is night.

"Wei Qing, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve!"

"yes."

At this moment, a soldier patrolling the city next to them walked past the two men, but found nothing. It is not too easy for immortals to hide themselves compared to mortals. The two didn't care, ready to continue to enjoy the beauty of Chinese New Year's Eve.

But the soldiers on patrol suddenly stopped and stood motionless next to them. Gu Weiqing didn't think that he had found himself and Qingxia, and turned his head to look at him, only to see that the soldier was in his thirties, the skin on his face was very rough, and he looked like he had been patrolling the city for many years and was blown by the wind.

He looked at the city quietly, with helplessness and bitterness on his face, and after a moment of silence, he turned away and continued his work. On Chinese New Year's Eve, his wife, children, and parents may all be waiting for him to reunite, but the helplessness of life makes him compromise.

This is his life, it has nothing to do with Gu Weiqing, it has nothing to do with Qingxia, it has nothing to do with himself. This is also the state of life for most people. They either compromise with reality, or they are forced to make a living, and finally choose to face it. Life is not easy, for everyone.

Putting aside their thoughts, the two snuggled together, quietly watching the lights of thousands of homes, and their lives were varied. Listen to the crackling sound of firecrackers and the sound of festivity.

"Wei Qing, before you and Zixia met for the first time, what kind of life were you, can you tell me about it?"

"Of course you can, I was born in Yunmengze, my father is a local gentleman, very famous, my mother is the daughter of my father's teacher, the two gave birth to me after they got married, just when I was three years old, a plague hit our local area, my parents, grandparents, grandparents all lost their lives in that plague.

At that time, I became the sole heir of the family, and when I was 14 years old, I sold my family inheritance and embarked on a study tour, which lasted for eight years. ”

Qingxia heard Gu Weiqing's experience when she was a child, but she didn't expect him to be alone when he was a child, and couldn't help but hold his hands tightly, Gu Weiqing also felt her worries, so she said: "It's okay, it's been so long, and I can face their departure calmly." No matter how big the pain is, time will slowly heal until you can face it calmly. ”

Qingxia felt that time had healed his wounds, so she continued, "Later, what are your plans after you leave home?" ”

"At that time, I thought that there were no gods and monsters in this world, and I thought that those myths and stories were just false rumors of the ancestors, so after leaving home at that time, I studied all the way, from Yunmengze to the westernmost Luoyang Desert of the Tang Empire, ready to take a look at the scenery of the frontier, and then went to Chang'an to settle down, a certain official and a half-job. Spend an ordinary life.

But while holding up the bamboo raft at Crescent Lake to watch the beautiful scenery, I met Zixia. You should know all about the aftermath! ”

Qingxia was silent for a while, and then said, "Do you regret it?" ”

"Regret what?"

"Regret meeting us. If you don't meet us. You may live a peaceful life in this life, you don't have to worry about the pursuit of the divine realm, you don't have to be displaced, you don't have to be chased and hidden by others like a lost dog, you don't have to go through those eight years of suffering, do you regret it? ”

Gu Weiqing hugged Qingxia tightly, he didn't answer directly, but asked, "Qingxia, were you lonely before you met me?" ”

"Hmm."

"You know what? Before I met you, I was like that, lonely and wandering, not knowing where to go in life, just like the walking dead, simply living. It was you who saved my lonely soul, so I never regretted meeting you, I just regretted not meeting you sooner. In that case, my life would have been full of color. ”

Qingxia snuggled tightly in his arms and said slowly: "I'm the same, I regret not meeting you earlier, if I met you, we might still be able to love each other." ”

Suddenly, a crackling sound sounded, and every household began to set off firecrackers, and the fireworks flew into the sky and exploded in an instant, and the sky was full of flowers. Some are like silver shooting stars, some are like colorful flowers, some are like orange coats, and some are like golden suns, illuminating the earth as if it were day. Too many beautiful things!

Qingxia looked at the fireworks in the sky, and didn't feel that she said, "Wow, it's so beautiful!" ”

Gu Weiqing turned his face to the side and saw Qingxia dressed in red, and the fiery red light shone on her body, beautiful and moving. Qingxia also noticed that Gu Weiqing was not watching the fireworks, but looking at her, and turned her head to look at Gu Weiqing suspiciously. Gu Weiqing stretched out his hand and gently cupped Qingxia's cheek, opened his mouth and said I love you, and then kissed it.

Fireworks in the sky, on the edge of the towering city wall, two men and women who love each other hug each other.
