Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Real Stone Bridge
It came in a hurry, but it was also in a hurry.
There were still a few miles away from the south city gate, and the three of them stood on the edge of the official road, looking at the towering city wall not far away, and listening to the shouts of the sergeant on duty at the city gate to check the passage, and they were all silent.
Because it is three young people, even if Gu Yuanchi is a little older, but for the long years of immortal cultivators, he is still an authentic young man. Young people's understanding and most intuitive perception of love always have their unique expectations and longings, and they hope that these beautiful things can always bloom.
The official road is lined with peach trees, and the trees are full of peaches the size of goose eggs. The peaches on these local trees are no smaller and astringent than those brought from the north, and no one usually picks them, otherwise they would have stayed until now, even if the people in the city can't pull their faces, but those children who are messing around are always the most knowledgeable.
Jiang Li picked a few larger peaches, threw one by one, and rubbed one on his clothes first, only to taste it, only to grin with sourness, where can he swallow it, only threw the peaches in his hand far away, and held the peach branch and drooled for a long time.
"What kind of broken peaches, I can't eat the meat, but I eat a mouthful of hair!" Jiang Li wiped his lips, looked at the peaches lined with trees on both sides of the official road, and scolded angrily.
Gu Yuanchi and Yu Haoxin looked at the guy who was in an unhappy mood and opened a posture to scold Huai, shook their heads, and threw the peaches in their hands under the tree.
On the way back just now, Gu Yuanchi had already told Yu Haoxin about the story of his encounter with Jia Hezheng that day, and the story of the painter Li Zhen. At this time, thinking that at this time, this inexplicable couple was about to be separated by yin and yang in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help but sigh, but then changed the conversation and said, "You guys are doing this, how can you explain to Ma Han after you go back?" ”
Yu Haoxin's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "Where did you start with this, it was obviously you who proposed to let them go first." ”
Jiang Li, who was not in a happy mood, rarely wanted to dwell on the topic of who came first and who came after, so he just wiped his hands on his clothes repeatedly, and saw that those nasty fine hairs were finally cleaned up, so he said angrily, "This young master of the Jia family has made such a show, who can stand it." You, and you, think about the way you looked at me at the time, as if if I objected, it would be like a pig or a dog. ”
"Actually, even if the old horse was here, I think he would probably do it. Don't look at the old horse's stoutness, his mind is very delicate. This kind of good thing of adult beauty is the most worth drinking two glasses. Well, I'll go back to Li's house to get some good wine and accompany Ma Han to drink some. Yu Haoxin smiled slightly, and when he talked about drinking, his mood seemed to be much more relaxed.
"Well, that's up to us to make this decision for the sake of the old horse. When I go back to drinking, count me as one. Gu Yuanchi's eyes lit up and said happily.
Young people, sorrow comes and goes quickly.
After thinking about how to go back and explain to the guy who was going to recuperate from his illness for a while, Gu Yuanchi's mood also relaxed a lot, and he said with emotion, "Actually, I agreed to let them go before, but it wasn't just because of the young master of the Jia family. ”
"I trapped Li Zhen with the phantom array, evoking the memories buried in the deepest part of Li Zhen's heart, but what you don't know is that I, as the leader of the array, also feel like I have experienced it myself." Gu Yuanchi sighed faintly, and said with a gloomy expression, "Li Zhen is out of the phantom array, but I don't seem to be in a mood for a while. ”
"If I were Li Zhen and experienced these tragic things, I am afraid that my methods will be more intense and paranoid." Gu Yuanchi muttered, "My phantom array is called Boundless, and I originally wanted to trap Li Zhen with the shore of Huihui, but who knows that on Li Zhen, there is only the boundless sea of suffering, and where can I get back." ”
Yu Haoxin nodded and said, "Although the painter Li Zhen is famous, it is said that he really suffered a lot of hardships in the world in the early years, and his temperament has changed to what he is today." ”
After all, Yu Haoxin is the young owner of Liuyun Villa, he often walks in the rivers and lakes, and he knows a lot about some secrets of the rivers and lakes, so he picked out some rumors and stories about the painter Li Zhen to tell, plus Gu Yuanchi told the memories seen in the phantom array one by one, and the three of them sighed again, and were about to set off to return to the city, but when they saw Jiang Li shaking his head, indicating that he still had something to do, the two couldn't help but be surprised.
"That's it! Go back first. Jiang Li shook his head, pretended to be extremely chic and waved his head behind his back, and said, "Jia Hezheng is pitiful, Li Zhen is also pitiful, it's all said that I have to try to do something for this poor pair." ”
——————
There is a stone slab bridge on the wicker river outside the south gate, the history is extremely long, even those older generations in the city can not tell its year, and even the local chronicles have not recorded, as if from the day when Nanshao City began, this unknown stone slab bridge has been quietly standing on the river.
Originally, this stone bridge was a very lively place in Nanshao City, because most of the traffic with the outside passed through this side, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses all day long. The shouting of the chariots and the cries of the stalls, the children running along the riverbank with kites, and the women doing laundry by the bridge, while gossiping about the parents, are all pictures that the old Nanmen people remember when they were children.
It's just that no matter how strong the bridge is, it can't compete with the changes of time after all. Today's stone bridge has several piers with varying degrees of skew, and I don't know if it is caused by the change of the riverbed, or whether the piers are finally unable to support it under the washing of the water day after day and year after year, and the whole bridge looks precarious, and I don't know when it will collapse. Therefore, in the early years, the carriages and horses of Nanshao City have been rerouted from the West Gate, and those who rely on the excitement to make a living have also moved away, and the Shibanqiao has gradually become quiet.
The two of them sat quietly on the edge of the stone bridge, watching the clear river water flowing under the bridge with dead branches and fallen leaves, and the noon sun falling on the river surface, slightly dazzling.
The tall and fat man, leaning on the woman's shoulder, looked at the verdant willow forest not far from the river, and saw the new willow buds hanging on the water with the branches, and occasionally one or two mischievous fish jumped out of the water and tried to bite into the water, but most of the time in vain, splashing in vain.
"It's beautiful." Jia Hezheng exclaimed, but muttered with a look of unwillingness, "Such a beautiful scenery, it should be appreciated by Miss Li in my arms to live up to it, and now I will be laughed at." ”
"You're going to have to be poor at this point." Li Zhen leaned slightly to the side, so that Jia Hezheng was more comfortable. A long green silk hair danced in the wind, and the ends of the hair covered Jia Hezheng's face, stroking back and forth.
"Also, call me Li Zhen in the future, don't call me Miss Li." She thought for a moment and added in a low voice.
Li really wanted to reach out and tie those hairs behind his ears, but was stopped by Jia Hezheng, only to see him slowly stretch out his hand, grab a strand of green silk, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it very intoxicated, and sighed with satisfaction, "Zhen'er, I'm afraid this scene is only in dreams." ”
Li Zhen has been called countless times in her life as a demon woman and a demon, and it is the first time that she has been called "Zhen'er" from others. I didn't expect this Jia Hezheng to be really a guy who climbed an inch, and he was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and he whispered it twice in his heart, but he still felt very twisted, and couldn't help but whisper and protest, "Even if I remove my long years of sleeping, I will be a few years older than you." If you count them all, you're going to have to call me grandma. ”
"Okay, then I'll call Grandma Zhen'er from now on."
Li Zhen turned his face sideways and looked at Jia Hezheng's kind appearance, he was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed out loud, and said, "You are all the people who want to be the head of the family, how can you speak without shame." ”
just laughed twice, and then his eyes turned red again, and he was speechless in a daze.
Jia Hezheng probably also felt the atmosphere of this sudden stagnation, so he coughed slightly, pointed to the narrower river in front of him, and said, "Zhen'er, see that place, I have already been surveyed the day before yesterday, and the money has been allocated in place, and I guess that this new bridge will be built by the beginning of spring next year." ”
Li Zhen raised his head in surprise, followed Jia Hezheng's point, looked carefully and looked again, and saw that the terrain on both sides of the river bank was smooth, and the scenery was also extremely beautiful.
Probably didn't expect that the public love show that day, it was really built on this bridge, thinking about the story of the stone bridge that Jia He was winning the applause of the street that day, it sounded real and moving at the time, but now it seems to be more like a prophecy, Li Zhen quietly sniffed, forced a smile and said, "You still let me name it, I'm the worst at these crepes, or you should make one?" ”
"Well, of course, naming it is a matter for the old men." Jia Hezheng laughed, but suddenly thought that he and Li Zhen were destined to be inseparable after all, and there would be no children to name in the future, and he couldn't help but feel an unspeakable sourness in his heart.
Li Zhenbing was smart, and immediately noticed Jia Hezheng's psychological changes, and secretly regretted why he mentioned this topic, but he couldn't think of anything to comfort him for a while, so he just stretched out a hand and gently patted Jia Hezheng's arm.
"What's really called that? Take your truth, take my righteousness. Jia Hezheng's voice gradually lowered, and he seemed a little lacking in breath, he took a few breaths and said, "Although it's not very decent, I think about it, but it's also appropriate." Besides, I was talking about the bridge in the story, and now we are building a real bridge. Zhen'er, what do you think? In the future, when you pass over this bridge, I will hear the murmuring of the river under the bridge, and I will rejoice because of your passing. ”
Li Zhen's two lines of tears ran down his cheeks, but he didn't dare to reach out to wipe them, for fear of alarming Jia Hezheng. Listening to Jia Hezheng's aura weakening, she hurriedly used Xuangong to forcibly pour the spiritual power in her body into Jia Hezheng's heart, and said with a forced smile, "Okay, it's called the real bridge." ”
