Chapter Seventy-Four: Promise You This Life

The medicine gourd searched the entire mountain and did not find his precious granddaughter Qingling, who thought that Qingling ran away in a fit of anger, but he did not expect the situation to be reversed, but he brought back a long-awaited grandson-in-law.

Qingling has admired Shizhong for a long time, and everyone knows this, but Shizhong is reluctant to express his position, and outsiders are embarrassed to say more. After all, it is an emotional matter, and it should follow the wishes of the parties, and it is always difficult to force it.

Qingling's perseverance and unrestrained enthusiasm completely defeated Shizhong, and she was willing to be captured by her, gradually adapting to her various sweet attacks, and completely gave up resistance. By the time they came down the mountain, Shizhong's lips were already red and swollen, as if they had just been stabbed in a hornet's nest.

The medicine gourd was happy in his eyes, thinking that their good things were also near, he was not the kind of old-fashioned who didn't know how to be flexible, as long as he could get this grandson-in-law who was hard to find with a lantern, he supported his granddaughter to use extreme measures, such as cooking raw rice to mature rice first, so that the division couldn't run away if he wanted to.

Everyone gathered around the meal that had been cold, and they were still extremely satisfied, looking at the proud Qingling and the shy Shizhong, they didn't need to ask to know what had happened between them. Liu Ye was very happy that they could be together, Shizhong was her most cherished companion, and she hoped that he would be happy.

When eating, Qingling's left hand always pulled the sleeve of Shizhong, as if he was afraid that he would not admit it, Shizhong was a little embarrassed, and he was afraid that his refusal would cause Qingling to misunderstand, and when the time came, he was afraid that it would be useless to explain, so he could only let her do this.

The poisonous scorpion looked at the sweet appearance of the little couple, and his heart was full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and kept looking at the smiling Bright Moon Holy Maiden, hoping that she could also be inspired. However, Mingyue didn't react to his hot gaze, she took care of Tu Qitang's vegetables, and talked to Liu Ye from time to time, talking about some innocuous topics, and was not affected at all.

"Master, come, come, eat more food, I see that you have lost a lot of weight these days, and you need to make up for it......" The medicine gourd diligently served rice to Shizhong, "Oh, eat another bowl, your amount of food is too small, you didn't have much food at the altar before, and it's different when you come here, although you eat with an open stomach......"

"Hehe, old gourd, what do you mean by that? Did you not have enough to eat every day when you were at the altar? The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon said amusedly, disagreeing with his disdain for the altar between his words.

The medicine gourd was stunned for a moment, and quickly stuffed the bowl full of rice into Shizhong's hand, and pouted: "Isn't it, your altar eats with a small bowl and a small bowl, but I want to eat this meal, and I can't wait to go into the forest to catch a cow to eat." ”

"Even though the bowl is small, no one will stop you from adding food, so why can't you eat enough?" The more the Bright Moon Holy Maiden thought about it, the more confused she became, "I didn't order you to starve, the food at the altar has always been sufficient, and it is impossible to starve anyone." ”

The medicine gourd sat down and patted his thighs for a long time before saying: "It's all your little maids in the altar, we stared at them one by one when we ate, I know that they have been on the mountain for a long time, and they have never seen such a beautiful man as Master Shi, but they can't stare at men so blatantly!" The teacher was embarrassed to eat more, and I could only eat very little. ”

Hearing this, Qing Ling suddenly pinched the teacher: "What my grandfather said is true? Those little maids won't even let you go when you're eating? ”

Shi Zhong was confused: "How can there be, I don't eat much because I have something on my mind, at that time, the sect leader was bedridden, and the princess had no news, how could I only think about eating and sleeping." ”

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that some people only think about eating and sleeping, so they always think that they can't eat enough and are abused." ”

The medicine gourd opened his mouth slightly, glared at Shizhong and asked in disbelief: "However, it is a fact that those little maids are staring at us eating, right?" It's true that they only revolve around you, right? ”

"No, they just waited to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, old gourd, you go back to the house to sleep every time you finish eating, I just stayed to help, and I didn't have much contact with them." Shizhong told the truth in front of Qing Ling, for fear that she would misunderstand, so he hurriedly asked the Holy Maiden of Mingyue for confirmation, "Is there such a rule at the altar, the maids have to wait for the guests to finish their meal before leaving, right?" ”

The Bright Moon Holy Maiden nodded: "There is such a rule, and at that time, I reminded them to prevent you from escaping, so let's keep an eye on it!" ”

Tu Qitang raised his head and laughed: "Haha, so that's the case, the truth is finally revealed." The maids stared at the old gourd and the master Shi are not coveting beautiful men, nor are they afraid that you will eat too much, but they are afraid that you will run away! ”

Liu Ye couldn't help laughing, and helped Shizhong clarify to Qingling: "Now you should understand, Shida doesn't have that kind of idle thought!" ”

Qing Ling's sharp gaze suddenly swept to the medicine gourd: "Grandfather, you don't have enough to eat, why do you want to talk to the master, what good is it for you to call him a mad bee and butterfly?" ”

"No, no, no......" The head of the medicine gourd drooped lower and lower, and it was almost attached to the chest, "It's just an illusion, an illusion ......"

The poisonous scorpion took a spoonful of white rice and medicine gourd, laughed and said, "Come, you should eat more, so as not to say that I treat you badly and don't give you food in the future." Just rely on our friendship, don't be polite, don't always use other people's teachers as an excuse, you can eat if you want, and no one will stop you. ”

The medicine gourd threw a big eye to the poisonous scorpion, picked up the bowl and ate it unceremoniously: "Eat it, you deserve to eat poor." ”

"Yes, you have to take care of yourself, wait to drink your granddaughter's wine, wait to hold your great-grandson." The poisonous scorpion looked at Qing Ling and Shizhong sourly, and couldn't help but envy the good fortune of the medicine gourd.

"That's right, I'm finally looking forward to such a good grandson-in-law, of course, I have to live a few more years to be enough, I not only want to hold my great-grandson, but also my great-granddaughter, three or two are not enough, just seven or eight, in short, the more the better, I can afford to raise the old man." The medicine gourd raised his head, not to mention how proud he looked.

"Yes, yes, yes...... Your children and grandchildren are full of merits, and all the good things have made your crooked gourd stand ......" The poisonous scorpion snorted angrily, and turned to look at Shizhong, "Master Shi, your grandfather is so virtuous, you will get used to it after a long time, don't be scared away by him." ”

"Ahh Beware of my granddaughter cursing you! The medicine gourd counted the road angrily.

"That is to say, old scorpion, when I become a relative to Master Shi, I will invite you to a cup of wine, don't say such unlucky words, I don't want to hear it." Qing Ling held Shizhong's arm, his head resting on his shoulder, his face full of sweet happiness.

Shi Zhong blushed and just smiled, Qingling loved to see his shy appearance the most, and couldn't help but want to tease him again, but in front of so many people, she was also a little embarrassed.

"Oh, the teacher hasn't asked for a marriage yet, you little girl can't wait to get married, hey, the little girl is really amazing now, more unrestrained than a big man!" The poisonous scorpion knocked on the bowl of the medicine gourd with chopsticks, "Your granddaughter is in a hurry like this, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and ask the princess for marriage!" ”

The medicine gourd hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, rolled up his sleeves and rubbed the oil on his mouth, and respectfully exerted his strength to Liu Ye: "Your Royal Highness Princess, old gourd, I ask you to allow Qingling and Master Shi to marry, you must agree, otherwise my old face will not be able to hang up." ”

"Grandfather, how can there be a princess like you, the princess is eating!" Qing Ling's face also turned red, and he sneered shamefully.

Shizhong's expression returned to normal, Qing Ling thought that he was going to refuse on the spot, and he was very nervous, but fortunately, he was just waiting for Liu Ye's reply, and he didn't feel that the request of the medicine gourd was inappropriate.

Liu Ye put down the dishes and chopsticks and solemnly announced: "Master, Qingling, are you willing to become husband and wife, and from now on you will never be separated?" ”

Qing Ling held Shizhong's hand and nodded heavily: "I do!" ”

Shi Zhong glanced at the nervous Qing Ling and smiled slightly: "I am willing!" ”

Liu Ye smiled with relief: "Okay, this princess allows you to become husband and wife!" ”

Qing Ling and Shi Zhong looked at each other in a daze, they didn't expect happiness to come so quickly, the medicine gourd took a long time to come back to their senses, shed tears excitedly, and hurriedly pushed Qing Ling: "Don't be in a daze, thank you princess!" ”

"Uh-huh......" Qing Ling resisted the urge to cry, got up and walked towards Liu Ye, to bow down to her.

Liu Ye helped her up and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, besides, this occasion is not suitable, you and Master Shi go to prepare and prepare, and choose a good day to marry you." ”

"Princess ......" Qingling finally couldn't hold back her tears, remembering that she was full of jealousy and hatred for Liu Ye before, and she only felt guilty.

"Okay, get up, marriage is a happy event, everyone should be happy, don't cry!" Liu Ye helped Qingling to Shizhong's side and put her hand on his hand, "Master, you have to take good care of Qingling, and wish you a happy life." ”

"Thank you, princess." Shi Zhong looked at Liu Ye and felt mixed feelings, he thought that he would only worry about her in this life, but he didn't expect him to accept her blessings. However, he will also keep that good memory in his heart, and at the same time wish her eternal happiness.

The marriage between Shizhong and Qingling was decided, and the medicine gourd was naturally very happy, and when everyone finished eating, he was reluctant to leave, lying on the table crying and laughing, and no one else was allowed to accompany him. When he stopped, the poisonous scorpion took out the wine that had been treasured for many years and poured a glass for the medicinal gourd.

"Come on, old man, let's have a drink." The poisonous scorpion poured himself full of wine, picked up the cup and toasted the medicine gourd, "Speaking of which, we have been fighting for decades, and we have not been able to distinguish a winner, it seems that we are destined to be entangled for a lifetime." Now that your granddaughter is about to get married, I'll also get some joy! ”

The medicine gourd happily took the wine glass and kept nodding: "Okay, I'll let you, the old scorpion, take advantage of it, and if I hug my great-grandson in the future, how about letting you hug me when I'm happy?" ”

"That's good, why don't you give me one, aren't you planning to give birth to seven or eight of them, you can't take care of yourself if you give birth to so much, I'll help you raise it!" The scorpion looked at him expectantly, and poured him wine more diligently.

"Yo, I can't see that your old fellow is very ambitious, even my great-grandson is concerned. I'll tell you right now, no way! I raise my great-grandson myself, I don't need your help! ”

"Why not? Are you still afraid that I will treat him badly, hey, you eat me and drink mine, why are you so stingy! ”

"No, it's not good, you poisonous scorpion, what should I do if I want to raise my great-grandson to be like a bear like you, if I don't learn well with you, I can't agree to harm this poison and that all day long."

"you, you're more poisonous than me, we're half a pound and eight taels on par, why do you look down on me......"

"Anyway, it's not good, it's useless for you to wear out your mouth......"

The medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion quarreled endlessly for the great-grandson who had not yet appeared, the Holy Maiden of Mingyue and Tu Qitang were amused by them, Qing Ling and Shi Zhong didn't know where to hide sweetly, Liu Ye was busy boiling hot water to make the bed, and he didn't have time to accompany Tu Qitang's mother and son for a while.

The Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon turned around and walked towards the mountain forest, Tu Qitang hurriedly followed, he knew that his mother had something to say, and he didn't want to be heard, so he took him to a more secluded place.

After walking a long distance, looking at the dim lights in the courtyard, the Bright Moon Saintess breathed a sigh of relief, took Tu Qitang's hand, and said regretfully: "Child, have you really decided?" ”

Tu Qitang thought she was talking about the Xiling Sect, and replied without thinking: "Well, I don't plan to go back, since the Xiling Sect has been dismissed, mother, don't think about making a comeback." ”

"My mother didn't think about this, when she dismissed the Xiling Sect, she didn't think about making a comeback. Although the Xiling Sect is your father's hard work, my mother has never regretted making this decision. As long as you are willing, my mother is willing. ”

Tu Qitang immediately reacted: "You mean the matter between me and Ye'er?" ”

The Holy Maiden of Mingyue nodded: "I saw the old gourd ecstatic just now, my mother has some bad feelings in my heart, you can obviously marry a wife and have children openly, why should you wronged yourself like this?" ”

"Mother, I don't want any woman in my life except Ye'er. Ye'er and I have finally been together, we will not be separated again, even if we can't officially marry her, I am satisfied. Tu Qitang smiled with relief, "Marriage is just a ceremony, I don't care." ”

"Yes, you don't care, but, my mother always feels that you are very aggrieved......" The Holy Maiden of Mingyue understands this son, and Tu Qitang will not change it once he makes up his mind, "I didn't say that Ye'er is not good, with her identity, she doesn't have to stay here to suffer with you, it can be seen that she is sincere to you." It's good that you have lovers and end up married, but I'm always worried that it won't last long. If you are sad and sad on other days, your mother will definitely not be happy! ”

"Mother, don't worry, there won't be a day when Ye'er and I will live a good life and honor you." Tu Qitang patiently comforted the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, and the mother and son walked back side by side, "I have never felt wronged, after knowing Ye'er, I found that life is full of meaning, and it is my greatest happiness to be able to stay with her for a lifetime." ”

The Bright Moon Holy Maiden's eyes turned red, and she choked up: "It's not good for my mother, forcing you to do a lot of things that you don't want to do......"

"Don't mention the past, from now on, it is more important for our family of three to be happy than anything else." Tu Qitang's words deeply moved the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, and kept repeating, "A family of three, a family of three, good, great......"

Liu Ye packed up the bed, couldn't see the figure of Tu Qitang's mother and son, and waited for a while before seeing them coming down from the mountain, the eyes of the Bright Moon Holy Maiden were red, and it looked like she had just cried. As for why she was sad, Liu Ye naturally knew in her heart.

Since deciding to live in seclusion here with Tu Qitang, Liu Ye has completely let go of everything in the past, including her identity, she serves the Holy Maiden of Mingyue to freshen up and sleep, as if she is a competent daughter-in-law. Of course, the Holy Maiden of Mingyue had nothing to say, and felt aggrieved for her son in her heart, but when she saw such a sensible and well-behaved Liu Ye, she could only accept it.

Watching the Holy Maiden of Mingyue fall asleep, Liu Ye carried the kettle and sent it to Tu Qitang, who liked to drink the tea she made every night after practicing, and they chatted while drinking tea, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

"Ye'er ......" Tu Qitang walked into the house following the fragrance of tea, hugged Liu Ye from behind, and gently kissed her ear. The two lingered for a long time before they separated, Tu Qitang sat down to drink tea, and Liu Ye listened to him talk about what happened in the mountains.

Recently, it has been like this every night, and several times Liu Ye felt that Tu Qitang couldn't wait to hug her, but he was scrupling about something, and finally let her go. Liu Ye was curious, but he was embarrassed to say it clearly.

"Master Shi and Qingling are about to get married, I am very happy in my heart, it is not easy for them to come together." Liu Ye said tentatively, paying close attention to Tu Qitang's expression.

"Yes, they were born and died together, and they can finally stay together." Tu Qitang sipped the tea and thought about their relatives, "When the new courtyard is built, let them get married there, Ming'er and I will inquire about what to do, hehe, the altar has never had a happy event, I don't know what is going on!" ”

"Tu Qitang, have you ever thought about the scene when you got married?" Liu Ye asked what she was most worried about, and she was also afraid that he would feel wronged.

Tu Qitang smiled slightly, reached out to hold her hand: "As long as I can be with you, I don't care about anything." ”

Liu Ye was moved in his heart: "You have paid so much for me, but I can't marry you justifiably, I ......"

Tu Qitang's index finger pressed her lips and shook his head: "Don't say that, you have paid more for me, you are willing to commit yourself to the mountains and forests to stay with me, doing this kind of rough and heavy work, I feel ashamed." Recently, I've often wondered if I'm too selfish, it's not enough to have your love, it's okay to dominate your whole person and keep you around, can you adapt to this boring life, if my love becomes a burden to you, forcing you to suffer, I will feel very sorry for you. ”

Liu Ye suddenly understood, it turned out that he was worried that she would not be able to adapt to the secluded life, and he was afraid that she would regret wanting to leave, so he didn't dare to get too close to her, lest he would be reluctant to let her go.

"Tu Qitang, don't think so, I'm very happy with you, how can I feel boring and hard!" Liu Ye walked up to him, leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, "So you are not allowed to say this kind of thing again, remember?" ”

Tu Qitang looked at her affectionately, put his arm around her waist and let her sit on his lap: "You decided to live with me like this for the rest of your life?" Don't regret it? ”

Liu Ye blinked playfully and poked his fingers at his chest: "Why, you regret it, Tu Qitang, if you dare to leave me, I will never spare you." No matter how far you go, I'm going to get you back......"

Tuqitang kissed her lips, and between his lips and teeth, the strength of his hands became heavier and heavier.
