Chapter 80: Jade Rabbit's Love (2)
Seeing that the jade rabbit stretched out his index finger and pointed upward, the young man looked up suspiciously, it was noon at this time, except for the dazzling sunlight, it was the blue sky, and there was nothing else.
Xu Shijue's girl didn't understand what she meant, the young man smiled gently, and repeated the question just now, "I mean, where do you live?" Because it's a remote place, if you go out alone, you'll get lost, so I can take you home. β
Jade Rabbit finally swallowed the last bite of the soup and licked her lips with a lingering appetite.
"I can go back on my own, and I won't get lost." Finally realizing that there was something wrong with his gesture of pointing to the sky just now, Jade Rabbit changed his words. In order to prevent the teenager from continuing to dwell on the topic of where her home is, Yutu pointed to the reclaimed land and asked, "What do you want to plant there?" β
Seeing that someone was finally interested in his land, the young man seemed very happy, "Have you ever heard of the other side flower?" β
Flowers on the other side? The kind of flower that grows on Huangquan Road?
Jade Rabbit looked at the young man suspiciously, "You don't mean to say that you are here to open the land to plant flowers on the other side?" β
"The one on the edge is used to grow flowers, these three are used to grow other flowers, and the last one is used to grow some vegetables, so that I don't have to go home to get vegetables in the future."
"Why do you want to grow flowers?" No matter how naΓ―ve the Jade Rabbit is, he knows that this flower is unlucky.
"I've seen a painting before that shows a large patch of bright red flowers on the other side. That kind of red is different from what we used to see, how to say it? It's the kind of red that makes you feel extremely beautiful at a glance. I was thrilled and shocked by the color. Do you think, a flower, only fiery red flowers, but no green leaves, is a lot very peculiar? β
"You've only seen paintings, but you haven't actually seen these flowers, have you?"
The boy nodded, "I haven't really seen it, but I've been intoxicated." So I managed to find a bag of seeds, and I was going to try to grow them myself. β
"Seeds? The seeds of the other side flowers? The Jade Rabbit's eyes widened, and some pale yellow eyes completely reflected the young man's slightly joyful face.
"Wait a minute," said the boy, who trotted into the cabin, and after a while trotted to the Jade Rabbit with a paper bag in his hand.
"You see, this is the seed of the flower of the other side."
"Huh?" Seeing the pink seeds in the paper bag, Yutu opened his mouth in surprise, this seed is clearly the seed of the red peony, I have eaten it once in the residence of the peony fairy before, how could it be the seed of the flower on the other side? It seems that this stupid boy has been deceived.
"Since there are seeds, then you can plant them," Yutu chose to hide the truth about the seeds, the kind of flowers on the Huangquan Road, it is better not to plant them.
In the next period of time, Yutu returned to the Moon Palace at night, and went to watch the young man plant flowers and vegetables during the day, and occasionally helped to help, and slowly the two became acquainted. During this period, Yutu gave himself a simple name, Xiaoyu, and the others didn't say much, and the young man didn't mind, and at the same time revealed his life experience and inventory. The boy's surname is Lan, and his name is Qingyan. The Lan family was also considered a famous family at that time, but Lan Qingyan was not likable at home, and there were various reasons for this. First of all, his mother is the daughter of a small family, because of her excellent appearance, she was accepted as a concubine by her father, but because of her cowardly personality and lack of understanding to please her husband, she was spoiled by Father Lan for two or three years and then lost interest, and then Lan Qingyan, who was born, could not attract the attention of Father Lan; Secondly, Lan Qingyan is the third in the family, because there are already two brothers in the main house, so his birth did not bring much joy to the Lan family; The third is that Lan Qingyan doesn't like to read very much, but likes to plant some flowers and plants, this behavior looks at Lan's father, and he feels that this son is really very angry.
Therefore, when the boss of the Lan family, who had been in poor health, died, he assigned Lan Qingyan to come over to guard the spirit, and also specified that he should come alone and not follow him. For this reason, Lan Qingyan's mother secretly cried several times. But Lan Qingyan himself thinks this is a good thing, Xu is affected by his mother's weak personality, Lan Qingyan has not liked to fight with the gang of people at home since he was a child, he can't wait to move out and live alone every day, all kinds of flowers, all kinds of vegetables, do something he wants to do, and no one is cold and sarcastic, pointing fingers, such days are too pleasant.
Later, Lan Qingyan naturally didn't grow flowers on the other side, but he didn't seem to be too disappointed, but felt that he was accompanied by Xiaoyu every day, and the days of this fine water flow were never fulfilling.
Three years is not a short time, nor is it a long time.
On this morning, Lan Qingyan was still counting on the family to remember that today was the last day of the wake and that he could stay here a little longer and spend a few more days with Xiaoyu. However, when he opened the door, he was greeted by familiar servants and carriages.
"Third young master, the lord and the lady asked the little one to pick you up."
Lan Qingyan nodded, not showing the slightest joy on his face. He went back to the house, simply packed up his clothes, went out and handed them to the servant, and told him to wait for him at the entrance two miles away, and he had something to take care of.
The servant, who was full of doubts, took his things and had to leave temporarily in the carriage.
Lan Qingyan looked at the sky, usually at this time, Xiaoyu should have arrived, but today he didn't come for a long time, could it be that something happened on the way?
Alas, it's really confusing, after three years of getting along, I still don't know where Xiaoyu's family is. However, it is not too far from here, and he knows that there is a village ten miles to the east, and according to the speed at which Xiaoyu comes and goes every day, it is more likely that his home is there.
With this inference, Lan Qingyan didn't want to wait any longer, and he got into the carriage and went directly to the village to the east. But the result can be imagined, he did not find Xiaoyu.
Because it was getting late, he had to follow the servant back to the Lan family in a huff.
And the reason why Jade Rabbit didn't go to Lan Qingyan that day was because she overslept. One day in the sky, a year on the earth, she slept for half an hour, and half a month passed in the world, and when she woke up, Lan Qingyan had already turned over all the surrounding villages in those days.
Of course, it would be easier for Jade Rabbit to find Lan Qingyan, but she didn't show up beside Lan Qingyan, she just hid in the clouds from a distance and looked at it twice, there were too many people in Lan Mansion, she didn't like it.
In this way, Yutu returned to the Moon Palace, Lan Qingyan returned to the Blue Mansion, and the two people who were originally unrelated to each other went back to their respective places, but they were all right. But three years of getting along have already planted a beautiful seed in the hearts of two young people who are just beginning to fall in love, and it is impossible to say that they don't miss each other.
Yutu knew that his behavior was against the rules of heaven, so he ruthlessly ate a lot of Chang'e's sleeping flowers in the Moon Palace, and as a result, he slept for more than a month. When she woke up, she was still thinking in a dizzy state, did Lan Qingyan forget about her now? Is he already married and having children, and he is about to enjoy his old age?
When she woke up, she looked at the time carefully, and found that she had slept in the Moon Palace for thirty-two days, that is to say, thirty-two years had passed in the world, and Lan Qingyan should be fifty-two years old now.
Fifty-two years old? What should that look like?
I don't want to think about this question, the more I think about Yutu, the more I want to know what Lan Qingyan looks like now. She bit her rabbit lip and thought to herself, anyway, after so long, Lan Qingyan must have forgotten about her a long time ago, so let's go down and see how old he is now.
So, Jade Rabbit went to the mortal world. Standing at the head of the clouds, she searched the Lan family, but she didn't find Lan Qingyan. Disappointed, Yutu went to the cabin where the two stayed back then.
When it fell to the ground, Jade Rabbit was surprised to find that the five fields that Lan Qingyan had cultivated back then were lush with all kinds of flowers and green grasses, especially the one on the very edge, which had her favorite greens and edamame.
"Xiaoyu?"
Hearing the shout, Jade Rabbit turned back in panic, and at the door of the wooden house, there stood an old man dressed in gray, with gray hair and a face full of surprise.
Blue Blue!
Yutu opened his mouth and wanted to shout the name, but when he saw the wrinkles on the old man's face, his eyes were instantly blurred by tears. I thought that if I slept wildly, I would have no worries and no more thoughts. Who knows, in the end, it will be played by the years, and it will only add to the troubles.
"You...... Is it really Xiaoyu? β
Lan Qingyan walked closer, his eyes looked at Xiao Yu without blinking, how many years, he had also fantasized like this, one afternoon, Xiao Yu appeared in front of his field with an innocent face, while looking at her favorite vegetables, she turned her head and looked at herself with a smile. However, such a fantasy never came true.
Lan Qingyan hesitantly stretched out his hand and slowly placed it next to Xiao Yu's cheek. Warm, soft, and slippery, this is Xiaoyu's face, yes, it's just ...... Why is she still the same as she was thirty-two years ago?
On that day, Yutu did not return to the Moon Palace, and she stayed with Lan Qingyan for a month. A month later, Lan Qingyan died in the arms of Jade Rabbit.
When Lan Qingyan's soul floated out of his body, Jade Rabbit said to him, "Don't you want to see the real other side flower?" I'll take you. β
On the Huangquan Road, the Jade Rabbit took the blue blue rock to see the real flower on the other side, in the field of the sky, the fiery red color is like a burning flame, enchanting and magnificent, but with an unpredictable weirdness......
"Can you tell me who you are?"
Before leaving with the ghost, Lan Qingyan finally asked this question.
"I am the Jade Rabbit, the Jade Rabbit of Chang'e in the Moon Palace."
The Jade Rabbit said goodbye to Lan Qingyan with tears and returned to the Moon Palace depressed.
At that time, she knew that Lan Qingyan did not marry a wife, and he did not hesitate to regret the marriage contract that the family had already set for him, and then was kicked out of the Lan family, and stayed in the wooden house alone, just to be able to wait for the Jade Rabbit again......
