Knowing that Shizhong's coming meant that he didn't care, Qing Ling still had no way to face him at first, hiding in the house and refusing to let him in, just talking to him through the door.

"Ling'er, open the door and let me in......" Shizhong banged on the door eagerly, eager to see Qingling.

"Master, you, if you have anything to say, just say it outside!" Qing Ling said while wiping away tears.

"Well, if you think it's easier that way, I'll just say it outside." Shizhong took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound calm, "The princess told me everything, Ling'er, you are so stupid, you shouldn't take all the fault on yourself, you still have me, and my husband!" ”

Qing Ling covered his mouth, couldn't suppress his excitement, the soles of his feet were weak, and he slowly slid on the ground with his back against the door panel, trying not to let himself cry, and quietly listened to what Shizhong said.

"We haven't married yet, but in my heart, you're already my wife. Ling'er, I'm very sad that this kind of thing happened, and I hate myself for not being able to protect you and let you suffer this kind of pain alone. My husband is really incompetent, I don't know what to do to make up for the wounds in your heart, I can only beg you not to give up on me, give me the opportunity to take care of you, I will definitely redouble my efforts to make you happier and happier. ”

As he spoke, his eyes were red, his head was against the door, and his voice was soft, full of love and pity: "I remember when we first met, you accompanied me on an adventure, and I didn't know that you would accompany me for the rest of my life." I'm a fool who has hurt you again and again without knowing it, and I think that blindly refusing can make things easier and make me no longer troubled. ”

"Yes, troubles, you appeared in my life, I was full of troubles, I originally wanted to live my life without any worries, in this distant Western Regions to die alone, only guarding the person I cared about. As long as she is doing well, I am willing to be a shadow and wait silently. I've never regretted thinking so, and even now, I don't turn my back on my original intentions. From the moment I left Yumen Pass, I had already decided. ”

"But your appearance has added a lot of troubles to me, and I doubt that I can stick to my original intention without being affected, and you are always going back and forth in front of my eyes unexpectedly, giving me confidence when I am facing the test of life and death, and being born and dying with me. You blocked the carriage with your own body, and I just felt my heart break when I saw you covered in blood. Why are you so persistent? You know I already have someone in my heart! ”

"Since then, I've been paying more attention to you, and I've found that you, a slightly reckless girl, are actually very cute. You have the toughness that ordinary people don't have, and you also have a rare freedom in a girl's family, and you are very different from the girls I've seen before. However, I still haven't sorted out my feelings, and I don't know how to respond, you are a good girl, I can make you sad, if I can't give you happiness, I'd rather let you go and let you find a broader world. ”

"Ling'er, do you know? You have already occupied my heart unconsciously, but I found out too late, and by the time I found out, I was reluctant to leave you! I became greedy, I wanted to have more love from you, and I was afraid that I would not be able to respond completely, I felt that this was too selfish and unfair to you, so I didn't dare to get too close to you, for fear that I would fall deeper and deeper into you and fail you. ”

"Now I finally understand that you are not my trouble at all, but the source of my happiness, and only you can I get true happiness. Only by staying with you for a long time will my life be without regrets. Although I am still on a mission to protect the princess, it is also my mission to make you happy, I will no longer confuse my feelings, and I am sure to make a promise to you. Ling'er, please give me another chance, let me prove it to you, I will be good to you and love you with my life. ”

Shizhong has never confessed to anyone like this since he was a child, and he has never said so many sensual words, and now he just wants Qing Ling to see his sincerity, so he can't hide it.

"Ling'er, I'm not very good at talking, but these are the words in my heart, and I won't say love easily, but if I say it, it will not change for the rest of my life. Ling'er, I want to say to you, I love you, really, really love you......"

When he said this, Shizhong himself blushed, and he turned his back, for fear that the frantic heartbeat would reveal his nervousness and uneasiness. He was indeed very uneasy, he was afraid that Qingling would refuse, and he was afraid that Qingling would blame him for not taking good care of him.

Qing Ling turned around and looked at Shizhong's broad back through the crack in the door, tears of excitement poured out, as if they could not be exhausted. She quietly opened the latch, waiting for the lieutenant to push the door open, hearing this confession, how could she bear to turn him away again, he was the person she loved the most!

Shizhong knew that she had been insulted, and instead of disgusting her for getting dirty, he blamed himself deeply for not taking good care of her. Where is she going to find such a good man, if she misses him, she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life. Just as Liu Ye said, this kind of man must be firmly held in the palm of his hand and must not let go.

After waiting for Qing Ling's response, the division center became more and more anxious, and mustered up the courage to raise his hand and knock on the door again. This time, the door was easily pushed open, and looking at the tearful Qingling in front of him, Shizhong's nose was sour, and tears slipped silently. Holding Qing Ling's increasingly haggard little face with both hands, he lamented: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, and I have wronged you......"

"No, it's not your fault...... Qing Ling threw himself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried loudly on his chest, "Master, don't say that, it's not your fault, it's not......"

"Ling'er ......" Shizhong gently stroked her long hair, "Are you willing to give me another chance?" Will I take care of you for the rest of your life? ”

Qingling nodded shyly, tears of joy soaking her face again.

On the night of marriage, the medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion both changed into new clothes, and the old living treasure inevitably counted each other again, but even if it was counted, it was because they were too happy. The new courtyard is simply and festively decorated, with the joyful atmosphere of getting married, but not too public, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon and Liu Ye dressed Qingling fresh and lovely, with the nourishment of love, Qingling quickly came out of the shadow of trauma and returned to his previous sweetness and liveliness.

"Qingling, this is my little heart, please accept it." The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon took out a pair of dragon and phoenix gold bracelets and put them on for her with her own hands.

Qingling hurriedly withdrew his hand: "I can't help it, I can't help it, let's keep it for the princess!" ”

"Hehe, this little girl, we are all our own family, you still see me! These bracelets are for you, and I still have them for the princess, so you don't have to worry about them. The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon smiled and took her hand and insisted on putting it on for her.

"This ......" Qing Ling looked at Liu Ye uneasily, she always felt that the Bright Moon Saintess was not like her own family, although she had gotten closer recently, she still felt in her heart that she was the high-minded, unreasonable and ruthless Altar Saintess.

"Take it, such a good day, how can you refuse!" Liu Ye smiled and nodded, signaling that she didn't need to be restrained, and then picked up the brocade box on the table and opened it in front of her, which turned out to be a string of fresh and green jasper necklaces.

Liu Ye put the necklace on her neck, reflecting her pretty face and looking fairer, Qingling stroked the round jasper bead chain, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's so beautiful!" ”

"If you like it, I'm worried that you won't be able to see it!" Liu Ye looked at Qingling in the bronze mirror and smiled very happily, "I wish you and Master Shi harmony and happiness." ”

"What, this is for me?" Qing Ling was a little embarrassed, "This is not appropriate, you gave me such a valuable thing......"

Qing Ling said this is not modest, but she really has never worn such valuable jewelry, since she was a child, her mother died early, raised by her father and grandfather, how can the two big men know how to dress up the girl's family, the clothes Qing Ling wears are given to her by the neighbors' sisters, if it weren't for those kind aunts and sisters to teach her some things about her daughter's family, she may still be running around in the mountains like a wild boy!

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue knew that Qingling had lost her mother since she was a child, and she encountered that kind of misfortune, so she felt very sorry for her: "Qingling, Ye'er and I both regard you as our own, so you don't want to be separated from us, what do you need in the future, just say it, you know?" ”

Qing Ling nodded tearfully, moved and speechless. Liu Ye saw her crying red eyes, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Oh, the bride has to wait until she goes out to cry, and now she is crying, and the rouge is spent, isn't she going to cry into a big face." ”

Qing Ling burst into tears, took the silk handkerchief to wipe his face, looked at himself crying and laughing in the bronze mirror, and felt indescribable happiness and satisfaction in his heart.

There was a knock outside the door, and Tu Qitang raised his voice and shouted: "The groom is here to pick up the bride, open the door quickly, open the door quickly!" ”

Qing Ling stuck out her tongue shyly, hurriedly lowered her head and was embarrassed to look at people, Liu Ye covered her with a red and glamorous hijab and helped her out.

The moment they handed Qing Ling's hand to Shizhong, the two of them couldn't help but have red eyes, and they looked at each other speechless for a long time, as if there were only each other between heaven and earth. Seeing this, Liu Ye and Tu Qitang couldn't help coughing twice and reminded: "The auspicious time has come, please move the newcomer." ”

Shizhong came back to his senses, took Qingling's hand and walked to the new courtyard to worship the hall, and saw the medicine gourd sitting upright in the right position from a distance, looking out excitedly and nervously. The poisonous scorpion was also pacing back and forth, rubbing his hands, and when he saw the couple coming, he hurriedly greeted him and applauded.

"Old scorpion, you come back to me, don't jump there like a monkey, let the children come in and worship, don't miss the auspicious time!" The medicine gourd was so anxious that he screamed and stomped his feet, if it weren't for his identity, he was afraid that he would have rushed over and pulled him back.

"Okay, good, good ......" The poisonous scorpion was in a good mood, and he didn't bother with him, turned sideways to make a way, and let everyone enter the house.

Tu Qitang has never seen the scene of getting married, so he can only simply announce: "The newcomer is worshipping the church, worshipping heaven and earth!" ”

Shi Zhong and Qing Ling turned around and knelt outward, respectfully worshiping heaven and earth.

"Second worship high hall!" Facing the medicine gourd and Liu Ye, Shi Zhong and Qing Ling knelt down again.

"Husband and wife worship each other!" A couple of newlyweds worshipped each other.

"Licheng! Send it to the cave room! Tu Qitang was a little nervous about these short words, but fortunately he didn't say the wrong thing, and happily repeated again, "The newcomer has entered the cave room!" ”

originally thought that the medicine gourd would be emotional, but he didn't expect him to cry loudly, crying all over the place. Everyone looked at each other, and Liu Ye relieved the siege on the side and said: "Old gourd, it is a happy event for Qingling to get married, we know that you are so happy, but let's drink the tea they respect first!" ”

Only then did the medicine gourd react, the grandson-in-law's tea had already been handed to his mouth, and he took the teacup with trembling hands, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I'm so happy, I didn't expect that I would live until the day my granddaughter got married." ”

"Look at your little bit of interest, aren't you still waiting to hug seven or eight great-grandchildren, don't worry, you will be ...... for a while" The poisonous scorpion wanted to say that he couldn't die, but he was afraid of committing a taboo, so he had to change his words, "You will definitely live a long life and hug your great-grandson, you just drink tea, and your grandson-in-law is still waiting to enter the cave room!" ”

Everyone laughed, the medicine gourd drank tea and gave a red envelope, Shi Zhong and Qingling gave Liu Ye tea again, and after that, the two also gave a cup to the Mingyue Holy Maiden, and the Mingyue Holy Maiden was surprised, and happily took the tea and drank it up.

It is Qingling's meaning to insist on toasting tea and then entering the cave room, and she and Shizhong have been able to come so far, thanks to them, and she wants to express her gratitude in person on the day of marriage.

The moonlight was hazy, the night breeze was gentle outside the window, and the occasional bird chirped. Shizhong unveiled the red hijab of Qingling and saw the beautiful and moving lover, and couldn't help but rejoice in his heart. He brought two glasses of wine to himself and Qingling, and the two drank the wine, looked at each other and smiled.

Sending the newcomer back to the cave room, Tu Qitang and Liu Ye were pulled by the medicine gourd to drink together, and the poisonous scorpion and the Mingyue Holy Maiden were also in high spirits, and they both drank two more glasses.

"Princess, old gourd, I'll give you a cup!" The medicine gourd poured a full bottle of wine for Liu Ye, and saluted respectfully, "I have long wanted to respect you for this glass of wine, and it is really unreasonable to drag it on until now, but I beg the princess not to blame, do it first!" ”

The medicine gourd drank all the wine, patted his chest and continued: "I know that Ling'er was making trouble a few days ago, I was so anxious, the fire was burning, but I didn't know what was going on, my daughter's mind really couldn't guess, I could only do it in a hurry, I was really afraid that if she refused to get married, I would be suffocated to death." ”

Liu Ye drank his toast and said with a smile: "Old gourd, you are too worried, aren't Qingling and Master Shi good, it is inevitable to be a little nervous before getting married, after all, they love each other, how can they refuse to get married." ”

"Princess, don't you know, Qingling and my father are not the kind of thoughtful people, when Qingling was young, he was entrusted to the neighbor's aunt to take with him, and his father helped me to serve the Han court together, and he was busy with the Han people who came and went to Chigu City all day long, how could he have time to take care of the children!"

"I cried just now, not only because I was so happy, but I also felt that I really couldn't bear this child, as her grandfather, I did too little for her. Other people's daughters wear floral clothes, gold and silver, and my girl has been raised as a boy since she was a child, not to mention wearing a piece of jewelry, and she has never even tied a decent braid. She was very happy when a good Samaritan gave her a few girl's clothes, and she had only suffered and not enjoyed happiness with me, and I owed her so much. ”

The medicine gourd said and shed tears again, the poisonous scorpion pursed his lips and slapped him on the back: "Look at you, it's such a good day today, why do you always mention those old broken grains!" To be a man, you have to look forward, look forward and know no, you just think about holding your great-grandson next year, don't think about those unhappy things. ”

"Yes, no matter how hard the days are, why do you bother to bring up the old things again." The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon comforted her and said, "You see how happy the children are now, you should be happy too." ”

The medicine gourd nodded vigorously, rolled up his sleeves and wiped away the tears on his face: "Yes, isn't it, we will have a better life in the future, the better it is......"

"It's a certainty, come, let's have another drink!" The poisonous scorpion poured him wine and persuaded him to drink again, "If you are drunk, you won't think nonsense, we won't get drunk tonight!" ”

"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home!" The medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion fought happily, Tu Qitang took Liu Ye's hand, his cheeks were red, and he said with a smile, "Ye'er, I'm also very happy, I hope that people in the world who are happy with each other can stay together for a long time." ”

"Yes, have you drunk too much, can I help you go back to your room to rest?" Liu Ye looked at Tu Qitang, who was drunk, and said softly.

"yes, yes!" Tu Qitang touched Liu Ye's face and said, "Ye'er, I want a child, can you give me a child?" I will definitely be a good father and raise him well! ”

Liu Ye looked at the dizzy medicine gourd and poisonous scorpion embarrassedly, and then looked at the Mingyue Holy Maiden who pursed her lips and chuckled: "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"You're leaving? Don't leave so early, drink and drink again......" The medicine gourd pulled Tu Qitang and didn't let him go, "I said, when are you going to visit the church?" You don't plan to stay incognito on this mountain for the rest of your life, even if that's the case, at least you should pay a visit to the church, so that we can have some joy! ”

"Old gourd, you've drunk too much." The Holy Maiden of Mingyue got up and supported Tu Qitang with Liu Ye, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Drinking too much? I didn't drink much, I mean really......" The poisonous scorpion was still a little sensible, unlike the medicine gourd, which was completely drunk, and hurriedly grabbed the medicine gourd to stop him from talking further, "Okay, you have to drink, I'll drink with you, it's so late, they have to go back to rest." ”

Liu Ye noticed that the Bright Moon Holy Maiden's face was not good, so he said: "I have discussed with Tu Qitang, find a day to salute, at least I want to give you a cup of tea." However, he said that the form was not important, and he didn't care about the ......"

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue smiled reluctantly: "It doesn't matter, he doesn't care, so we don't need to care, don't take what the old gourd said." As long as you are happy together, don't worry about me, when it's time, you can rest! ”

Seeing the Bright Moon Holy Maiden leave, Liu Ye's heart was a little heavy.
