For the entire Western Regions, the Xiongnu are a forbidden place to stay away, but for today's Mingyue Saintess and others, this is a good place to be isolated from the world.

The poisonous scorpion is a Huns, his hiding place is in an unknown hill on the border of the Huns, most of the villagers living on the mountain are chopping wood for a living, and the people are rarely populated everywhere, even the vicious Hun horse bandits do not bother to patronize, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed.

Being able to spend the rest of his life with the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon day and night was a beautiful thing that the poisonous scorpion had dreamed of, but he didn't dare to show his heart to her. The poisonous scorpion had long known that no matter how hard he tried, it would be impossible for the Bright Moon Holy Maiden to fall in love with him, and his feelings for him were limited to gratitude and repayment, and nothing else.

Now that the Xiling Sect has been dismissed and the Holy Sound has been put into the ground, the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon has completely let go of the past and decided to start a new life with Tu Qitang. The poisonous scorpion is unwilling to force her to do anything, let alone force her feelings, it is human nature for her to miss the holy sound in her heart, as long as she stays by his side, what else is there to ask for!

Compared to the satisfied poisonous scorpion, the medicine gourd is not in such a good mood, the mountain is relatively humid, and there are not many herbs worth picking, which is far from his residence in Akatani Castle. Perhaps because he was very old and nostalgic, he didn't feel trapped in the altar in the past, but after regaining his freedom, Yao Hulu couldn't wait to return to the small nest of Akaya Castle immediately, lying on the rattan bed he had woven himself, swaying in the mountain breeze while sipping fresh and rich herbal tea.

However, I am afraid that this wish of the medicine gourd will not be realized in the short term, the friendship between the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon and the poisonous scorpion is very deep, they don't seem to be separated again, where is the poisonous scorpion, where is the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon, and where the Holy Maiden of the Bright Moon is, Tu Qitang will follow, a series of chain effects are that Liu Ye will not leave Tu Qitang, and the division will not leave Liu Ye, so that his precious granddaughter will also settle here.

In order to fulfill his wish as soon as possible, Yao Hulu lobbied from the people closest to him.

"Ling'er, you see we've been out of the house for a long time, it's time to go back and have a look!"

Qing Ling replied disapprenously: "What do you see, there is a father at home to take care of, isn't my grandfather still at ease?" ”

Yao Hulu said without giving up: "Just go back to see your father, you girl, you go out and cause trouble everywhere, where is your father worried!" You have to go back as soon as possible to put your dad at ease, lest he eat and sleep badly! ”

"How is that possible? With my grandfather and you following me, my father won't be cranky, he doesn't believe in my ability, and he doesn't believe in grandfather and your mother? ”

"Hey, why can't you make sense?" The medicine gourd was anxious, blowing his beard and glaring at him and raising his voice, "I see that your wings have grown stiff, right, you don't even listen to my words!" I know you've been thinking that you're the only one in your heart, and you're staying here to get along with him more, but you can't always follow him around like this, you have to find a way to get him to run after you......"

Qing Ling interrupted him impatiently: "You know that my mind is still long-winded, I just like to follow his ass and go around, I can't think of a way to let him run after me, so I can only pester him in this stupid way." ”

"Oh, hey, you're not ashamed of a girl to say such things." Yao Hulu stared at his precious granddaughter in disbelief, unable to imagine that the woman was so open now, "If you want to get married, I'll help you say goodbye, why do you have to fall into your own value!" Come on, I'm going to find Master Shi......"

"You come back to me!" Qing Ling was in a hurry, and reached out to pull the collar of the medicine gourd, "You are not allowed to go to him, if you go, I, I will not recognize you as a grandfather, and I will never go back to that home!" ”

"What? You, you ......" Yao Hulu glared angrily, pointing at Qingling and shuddering, "You don't even want a home for a man who can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks, and you still refuse to recognize me?" ”

"I'm just talking, who told you to always force me!" Qing Ling pursed her lips, shook her hand and left, "In short, you don't have to worry about my affairs, and you don't have to worry about it, I believe that my efforts will pay off." ”

Qing Ling jumped and ran away, and the medicine gourd pestle gritted her teeth and stomped her feet in place: "It's really a big woman, if you have a man, you don't want to kiss your father, and I don't want to think about who raised her so big." Stop, stop, let her go, or you'll hate me for the rest of your life." ”

Yao Hulu said this, but he didn't give up and continue to lobby, he looked at an appropriate time, and when he was alone in the teacher, he came up to test his mind.

"Master, you've been following the princess for a while, and you see that other princesses have been looking for one after another, and you haven't planned for yourself?"

Shi Zhong was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My duty is to protect the princess, as long as she is happy, I will be at ease." ”

"Huh? What you say doesn't sound like the relationship between the princess and the guards, could it be that you have that kind of idea about the princess? The medicine gourd keenly captured the deliberate forbearance of the teacher's feelings, and held on to ask the truth.

"You're too worried, how can I think about the princess differently, I'm just doing what I should do."

"No, no, you once told me that when the princess was poisoned, you were always by her side, and you didn't dare to do anything to her because of your status as a master and servant. But you must have taken advantage of it at the time, as you can tell from the way you were dying when you came to me for an antidote. Hmph, old man, I have lived for so many years, and I have walked more bridges than you have walked, so you can be honest! ”

The lieutenant commander of the division breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was all in the past anyway, so he was not afraid to admit it: "Now we are indeed only the relationship between the princess and the guard, and there is no need to mention the previous things." ”

"Oh, that's ......" The medicine gourd was entangled in his heart, it turned out that this kid in the division had a crush on Liu Ye, it seems that his vision is quite high, but his granddaughter is not bad! Besides, who can not have a little past! Shizhong himself said that now it is only a master-servant relationship, which proves that he has broken his thoughts, and Qingling also has a chance.

"That, Master Shi, you came all the way from the Han Dynasty to the Western Regions, what are you going to do in the future? The princess is determined to settle in the Western Regions, so you will stay here for the rest of your life! ”

"Yes, I will always accompany the princess, when I first came out of the Yumen Pass, I never thought about going back, it is the same wherever I am alone." The division was not aware of the intention of the medicine gourd, and he leisurely expressed his heart.

"Hey, how can you think so, when you come, you can't be alone for the rest of your life! People still have to have a companion, oh, General Chang and the little girl have finally become married, you still have time to grind! Don't procrastinate so much when a big man does things, hurry up and find a suitable family, and having children is the right thing! ”

"Having children......" Shi Zhong glanced at the medicine gourd, and gradually began to understand the meaning of his words, pretending to be confused and not answering.

Shi Zhong didn't say anything, and the medicine gourd was really going to die: "There is a suitable girl in front of you, what are you hesitating about, there is no store in this village after that, are you worried that the princess will not agree!" Don't worry, old man, can't I go to the princess to ask for a kiss, she agrees that General Chang will marry the little sister-in-law, and she will stop you from marrying Qingling! No, it won't......"

"Old gourd, I understand your kindness, but I haven't thought about it yet......"

"Oh, what else do you have to think about, and then think about the daylily is cold......"

"How can marriage be a child's play, I have to recognize my feelings before I can make a decision, otherwise I'm afraid that I will disappoint Miss Qingling!" Shizhong finally expressed his worries in his heart, and he did not accept the Qingling for a long time, just because he could not see his heart clearly.

"I'll go, who do you think you are!" The medicine gourd was really angry, and pointed at the nose of the division with both hands, "Isn't it just that you look better than others, and your kung fu is a little better than others, tell you, my family Qingling has taken a fancy to you as a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life, and you don't know how to clean up these useless things." If you always think about the impossible when you have nothing to do, you won't see Ling'er's good in your life. Forget it, what do you like, it's not that my Ling'er can't get married, I'll be a matchmaker for her, and I'm sure to find someone who is a hundred times stronger than you. ”

The medicine gourd snorted and walked away, leaving the division to think alone, I really didn't bother to care about them anymore, whether it was Qingling or the division, they were all dead-eyed fools, and they didn't know how to quit when they got into the horns, they were so entangled endlessly, maybe they didn't understand it when they became old men and old ladies!

"Bah, bah......" Yao Hulu patted his mouth, "That kid deserves to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, how can he curse his granddaughter to be a complaining girl for the rest of his life, okay, give her two more days, if she doesn't leave, she will be knocked unconscious and taken away." ”

Yao Hulu walked to the new courtyard and saw the poisonous scorpion and several villagers were busy building tile houses, the poisonous scorpion planned to build a new house for Tu Qitang and Liu Ye to live in, and he lived in the old house with the Holy Maiden of Mingyue. Look, what are you going to do, keep Tu Qitang, are you afraid that you won't be able to keep his old looks! After a long time, he is still looking forward to continuing the frontier!

The more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became, the medicine gourd turned a corner, intending to persuade Liu Ye, but he stopped halfway down the road. He can't take care of his granddaughter, he can't trouble other people's princesses, Liu Ye is happy who is with whom it is her freedom, Weng Guimi doesn't care, what position does he have! It's not appropriate, it's even more inappropriate to do this, even if he looks at the poisonous scorpion very unpleasantly, and he wants to spoil his good deeds, he can't risk losing it to find Liu Ye!

Persuading Qingling and Shizhong to no avail, Liu Ye and Mingyue Holy Maiden are not suitable people to talk about their hearts, the medicine gourd returned to the thatched house with his head down, lifted the quilt to cover his face, and called him thirty-seven twenty-one, let's sleep first!

What Yao Hulu didn't expect was that the conversation between him and Shizhong was heard by Qing Ling. The place on the mountain was originally small, and the distance from the new courtyard to the old courtyard was only a few steps, Qing Ling was worried about whether the medicine gourd would find the teacher, and when he saw them talking together, he would definitely come forward to listen carefully.

Until now, Shizhong has not determined his mind, Qingling feels that she is a failure, she thinks that her infatuation has finally touched him, who knows that in the end it will be a bamboo basket for nothing. Shizhong would rather live in the memories of the past than accept her with an open heart, which shows that he really doesn't like her.

When the medicine gourd rushed out, Qing Ling hurriedly hid, leaning on the damp soil with his back, and unconsciously burst into tears. She kept wiping the tears from her face, but the tears couldn't be stopped, her grievances and complaints had nowhere to confide, and the person she cared about the most didn't care.

"Qingling, Qingling......" Liu Ye held the bamboo sieve, looked at the freshly washed mountain fruit, and called her around with a smile.

Tu Qitang came out of the house, wrapped his arms around Liu Ye's waist behind his back, picked up a fruit and handed it to her lips, Liu Ye took a bite, nodded and praised: "Well, it's very sweet and delicious, come, you can taste it too......"

Tu Qitang leaned over and approached her: "I want to taste the ...... in your mouth"

Liu Ye pushed him shyly: "Don't do this, people will see it......"

"Then let them look good." Tu Qitang held her face in both hands, lowered his head to cover her lips, and sucked it toss and turn. Liu Ye tried to push him a few times, but it gradually melted in his arms, and the bamboo sieve fell in response, and the fruit in the sieve popped out, and the bones rolled aside.

When Qing Ling saw this scene, her tears flowed even more fiercely, Shi Zhong knew that Liu Ye already had a heart, but he still had a deep affection for her. And she shed tears for him and heartache for him, she is simply a big fool.

Qing Ling turned and ran wildly up the hill, burrowing into the forest without direction, she wanted to find a place where no one was around, she didn't want to see anyone.

As night falls, the poisonous scorpion prepares a table of dishes and beckons everyone to come and eat. Tu Qitang and Liu Ye invited out the Holy Maiden of Mingyue, and everyone sat around the table and waited for a long time but did not see the medicine gourd and Qingling.

Shi Zhong got up and said, "I'll call them!" ”

"No, no, you sit down and eat, I'll go!" The poisonous scorpion knows that the medicine gourd is sleeping again, this old guy does not sleep on the mountains at night, and sleeps through the meal during the day, if he is not called to eat, he will lose his temper when he wakes up, and he will make trouble like an ignorant child, and he is not afraid of people's jokes.

"Bang, bang, bang......" The poisonous scorpion slammed the door and smashed the whole thatched house trembling, and after waiting for a while, he was about to break in, the medicine gourd rubbed his eyes and yawned and opened the door, "Uh, it's time to eat, let's go!" ”

"You still know how to eat, I thought you were sleeping dead!" The poisonous scorpion snorted angrily, and turned to look at the other room, "Wait a minute, you go and call your granddaughter out, did you also take her to search the mountain last night?" I didn't see anyone all afternoon. ”

"No, I went up the mountain by myself, hasn't she gone to eat yet?" Yao Hulu scratched his head in confusion, walked over and knocked on the door, "Ling'er, it's time to eat......

No one answered, the medicine gourd and the poisonous scorpion looked at each other, seeing that he was getting more and more impatient, the medicine gourd knocked on the door again: "Ling'er, are you inside?" It's time to eat! ”

Still no one answered, the medicine gourd shouted that he was going in, and when he opened the door, there was no one in the house at all.

Seeing this, the poisonous scorpion muttered: "Bacheng has already eaten the smell of rice, this kid has a virtue with you, and his temper is strange......"

"You're weird, you can't see the light of the old scorpion, you dare to say bad things about my granddaughter, you're tired of being crooked again!"

"I'm not right, you two eat me and live mine, never come to help, run all day long, and come up when you eat......"

"What do you mean to eat you and live in you, you think I'm rare, if it weren't for the princess's sake, I wouldn't come if you begged me to come!"

The two walked away while arguing, and the poisonous scorpion looked into the house, but still didn't see Qingling, and couldn't help but say anxiously: "Where did this girl go, it's dark, and she doesn't come to eat." ”

When Liu Ye heard him say this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Qingling?" I didn't see her after lunch. ”

Yao Hulu remembered what he had said, and slapped his head suddenly: "It's over, you must be angry with me." ”

As he spoke, the medicine gourd turned around and ran, looking for Qingling everywhere on the mountain, he knew that Qingling was just angry for a while, and he was reluctant to go too far, and he must still be on this mountain.

Liu Ye couldn't care about eating, so he chased him out and asked, "Where did the old gourd go, did he and Qingling quarrel?" ”

The poisonous scorpion nodded again and again: "It must be like this, both of them have a fiery temper, and they quarrel when they disagree." Where can this girl go to Qingling, alas, I'll look for it too! ”

Tu Qitang took Liu Ye's hand and ran towards the back mountain, and said to Shizhong: "Let's go separately and come back in an hour." ”

"Good!" Shizhong glanced at the pitch-black mountain top and went straight up.

The poisonous scorpion didn't run two steps back and told Mingyue: "You just wait here, you eat first, maybe that girl will come back if she thinks it's boring." ”

Mingyue nodded: "You guys go, I'll wait for her." ”

Looking at the bright moon as beautiful as before, the poisonous scorpion wanted to stay and eat with her, the hateful little girl, it was really hateful.

Everyone called Qing Ling's name everywhere, and the poisonous scorpion went all the way down the hill to the foot of the mountain, and asked a few villagers who knew each other, but no one had seen Qing Ling. Liu Ye and Tu Qitang searched back and forth on the mountainside several times, but they didn't even see a figure. The medicine gourd went to the place he often went, thinking that Qingling would follow the taste of herbs like him, but there was no trace of her wherever there were herbs.

Shizhong ran through the dense forest to the top of the mountain, there was no Qing Ling in the forest, he stopped to breathe slightly, listening to the movement around him.

Suddenly, he heard a faint sobbing sound not far away, and when he looked back, there was a thin figure beside the moonlit rock.

The "Qingling ......" division trembled and ran towards her quickly, looking at the tears on her face, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

When Qing Ling heard the voice of the teacher, he thought it was his hallucination, and when he raised his eyes to see that it was really him, he ran away, not wanting to see him.

"Qingling, you come back...... Shi Zhong caught up and grabbed Qingling, "Where are you going, everyone is waiting for you to eat!" ”

"Leave me alone, you let me go...... Qing Ling wanted to get rid of him, but he didn't have as much strength as him, struggled for a few rounds, and sat on the ground crying, "I don't want to go back with you, why do you care about me, you are not my ......"

When the teacher heard what she said, he said, "Did you hear what I said to Lao Hulu?" ”

Qing Ling bit her lip and didn't say a word, Shi Zhong sighed, squatted down and approached her: "I understand your intentions, I didn't respond, because I don't want to make a hasty decision." In my heart, you are a very special existence, and I can't hurt you in the slightest......"

"Hmph, you don't need to explain, I know you don't like me, and you still can't forget the princess." Qing Ling turned his head away from him.

Shi Zhong looked at her stubborn side face and smiled slightly: "So you think I can't let go of the princess?" ”

"Isn't it?" Qing Ling glared at him and turned his face away.

"It's not." Shizhong sat beside her and looked up at the crescent moon in the sky, "I told you that as long as she is happy, I will have nothing more to ask for." Now that she's happy, how can I have any luxury? ”

Qing Ling looked at him suspiciously, as if to make sure that his words were credible.

Shizhong continued: "I thought that I would only love one person in this life, and I never paid attention to the feelings of the people around me. Ever since I heard about the Holy Voice, I realized how important it is to cherish the people in front of me. People who once thought they didn't care have actually lived in their hearts for a long time, but they just didn't realize it. ”

"So, I started to re-examine my heart, I wanted to think clearly, if I could bring joy and happiness to that person, if not, I should learn to let go instead of making each other miserable."

"I am who I am, why do you call me 'the person who doesn't matter', 'that person'." Qing Ling took his hand, stared at his eyes and corrected, "Call me Ling'er, I want you to call me Ling'er." ”

"Ling'er......" Shizhong looked at her tenderly and smiled, and shouted again, "Ling'er, Ling'er......"

Qing Ling's heart was sweet for a while, but she didn't allow herself to forgive him easily, so she asked him with a straight face: "How do you know that I'm here, maybe I've gone down the mountain back to Chigu City!" ”

Shizhong shook his head: "You won't leave." ”

"Why? Do you think I'm so reluctant to leave you? Qing Ling was displeased with his determined tone.

Shizhong hurriedly explained: "You like the moon here, you said when we went up the mountain that the moon here looks different, bigger and rounder than that of Akatani Castle, and whiter and brighter than that of Stara Mountain, so I ......"

Qing Ling pursed his lips and smiled, stretching out his hands to wrap his arms around his neck: "I usually say I'm stupid, I think you're stupid, where the moon is different, I'm just talking and playing." ”

Shizhong couldn't stand her enthusiasm for taking the initiative, and blushed: "Yes, I'm the big fool." ”

"Any idea why I say that?" Qingling quickly kissed him on the cheek and happily got into his arms, "I said I like it here, because I can be with you, there is no war, no conspiracy, just happy to be together......"

Shi Zhong looked at her movingly, Qing Ling blinked, and said maliciously: "Ha, you dare to seduce me, I will make you pay!" ”

Before Shizhong could react, their lips were intertwined, awkwardly responding to each other, but they couldn't hide each other's surging emotions.
