Chapter 3: Remembering the Catastrophe
The night was dark and full of stars. Somewhere in the mortal world, the night wind howls in the mountains, fanning the artificially placed firewood to be even more vigorous. The woman in the simple tent looked at the man in the golden helmet and bronze armor in front of her, and her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't fall out of the corner of her eyes. She pinched her thighs a few more times, but she still couldn't squeeze out tears, so she had to make do with crying.
"My name is Xiao Yan, and I went to the capital of Hengguo with my father to visit relatives, but I didn't expect to be attacked by bandits on this mountain road. My father and the servants of the family were killed by the bandits, and I managed to escape from the bandits but got lost in the mountains. I finally got out of the mountains and ran into a youkai again. That monster is ugly, even if it wants to eat me. I was chased by a monster to the edge of the cliff, and I jumped off the cliff in desperation, but fortunately I rescued my son. The little girl is grateful for Childe's life-saving grace, and she will definitely repay Childe's great kindness in this life and this life..."
"Lu Jian was uneven, she should have helped, and the girl didn't have to be polite." The man looked at the weak woman with excited words, and felt pity for her experience, and never thought of asking her to repay her.
"No, the boundless... No... My father said that the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, not to mention a great grace to save lives. Childe, my father gave me a lot of money, and I will give it to you to repay the saving grace! The little pheasant said that he didn't know where to take out a big black burden, and this big black burden was full of gold bars. In the darkness of the night, the man was dazzled by this large burden of gold bars, but he did not pay any attention to these gold bars.
"Girl, you are already lonely, how can I ask for your possessions. You should keep this money for yourself, so that you can live in peace in the future! ”
"You don't like money!" Xiao Yan saw that the man's handsome face did not hesitate for half a minute, and even refused with righteous words. So she was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something, so she took care of herself and untied her clothes.
"The son is very gracious, and the little woman can't repay it. If the son doesn't dislike it, I will be a bed-warming maid with the son, which can be regarded as a great reward! ”
"Girl, no!" When the man saw that the woman had already stripped off the clothes on his upper body, he immediately stopped looking at him if he was right and wrong. Then, feeling that something was wrong, he untied his armor robe, closed his eyes, and turned around and draped it on the woman's body.
"Girl, I already have a marriage contract, so I don't have to be like this..."
"You mortals, no... People don't pay attention to three wives and four concubines, even if you have a marriage contract, it won't affect me to repay you! ”
"Girl, you should stay with the person you like for the rest of your life. Instead of paying me the wrong life for the sake of repaying the favor! The man felt helpless about this sincere face, and he didn't give up on the little pheasant who wanted to repay his kindness. It's just that in this wilderness, he really doesn't know how to place such a lonely woman.
"Then I just like you, that's why I want to be with you!" Xiao Yan's intention to repay this man for saving his life is extremely resolute, but he will not be cut off because of his words. She also looked at the man's good-looking face, and couldn't help but feel that it was quite pleasing to the eye.
"Girl, I won't like you, the love between men and women is reluctant!"
"Why don't you like me, am I not good-looking, or do you like to be ugly?"
"The girl is very good, but in this life, except for my wife, who has never passed through the door, I will never like others again!"
"You lie, you obviously don't have a marriage contract!"
"Girl, you... How would you know? The man couldn't help but be surprised when he heard the woman's words, originally he just excused himself and politely refused to say that he had a marriage contract, but he didn't want to be exposed as a lie.
"Of course I do, and I know a lot about you!"
"Well, what does the girl know about me?"
"Your name is Gu Jinxuan, and you are the prince of Hengguo. His mother died at birth, but he was gifted. He was able to speak at the age of one, became a poet at the age of three, practiced martial arts at the age of six, and was canonized as a prince at the age of seven. At the age of twelve, he went to the battlefield to defend his family and the country, and at the age of eighteen, he was appointed to supervise the country and act as the government. I just turned 20 last month, and I have already won the crown. And you are now in this wilderness because there are snakes and demons in this place. You are here to get rid of the demon and calm the people, and more importantly, your father is seriously ill, and the imperial doctor said that you must use the snake gall of the snake demon as a medicine to heal. After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he took a long breath. But Gu Jinxuan was stunned when he heard what she said. Because this woman who has never met said that his life experience is not bad. So much so that he became a little wary of the woman's innocent and harmless smile. He recalled that in this wilderness, the woman named Xiao Yan was chased by the snake demon and jumped off the cliff. And he happened to chase the snake demon and saved the woman. Looking back now, it was too much of a coincidence, so that Gu Jinxuan couldn't help but be alert and suspicious. He immediately drew the sword at his waist and aimed it at the woman in front of him.
"Who are you, and what are your intentions in approaching me?"
"I, I'm a person who likes you. I'm trying to get close to you just to make you like me! ”
"Nonsense, if you don't tell the truth again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"I'm telling the truth!"
"Dare to quibble!" Gu Jinxuan refused to believe every word this little pheasant said at the moment, all as if she was deliberately pretending to be stupid and avoiding herself. So he swung his sword and broke a handful of her hair, trying to intimidate her into telling the truth. And his move angered the little girl.
"You, you broke my hair. Bad guys, I'm not uncommon for you to like. After saying that, Xiao Yan hurried out of the tent angrily, and before Gu Jinxuan could call the accompanying guards to stop him. This little pheasant disappeared in this barren mountain and disappeared without a trace.
The night deepened, the stars dimmed, but the moon came out at some point and shone all over the earth. In the depths of the mountains, a few wolf howls occasionally howl in place of the mountain wind. The shadows of the remote road drifted and disappeared, and finally came to an open stop somewhere. Originally, this erratic shadow gradually became clear, and under the moonlight was the woman who escaped from the mouth of the snake demon and then escaped from Gu Jinxuan. She saw a smile on her face when she saw the full moon in the sky, and walked briskly towards the old man leaning on a dead tree trunk and carrying a crooked-beaked gourd.
"Boundless Divine Monarch, I've already helped that person named Gu Jinxuan to rob the calendar, you can help me find my sister!"
The old man who was leaning on the trunk of the old tree and drinking, after listening to the other party's words, the wine that had just been drunk in his mouth spurted out in one breath. With a light smile on his face, he walked towards the pheasant. smiled at the little pheasant, his face changed color, and he pointed at the little girl from time to time and shouted loudly.
"Stinky girl, I'm not blind when I'm old. You are also called helping people to go through all the calamities, and countless crazy men and women in this world are not all angry with you! ”
"I wrote it all according to the human drama book: saving my life, making a promise with my body, not forgiving, unswerving, and then deceiving and suspicion, and finally resolutely abandoning ......" Xiao Yan didn't feel too much at the thunderous old man in front of him, but he felt that this guy was Taishan Shenjun in the two worlds of gods and men, and he didn't look solemn and unstable.
"Saving your life, you almost died untimely by jumping off a cliff, and you thought you were making a promise by taking off two clothes. If you don't give up until you die, people will cut off your two hairs and you will run away. I...... It's really a fairy who can be angry with you and cry. ”
Facing this little girl who is upright and bold and doesn't talk about her waist, the Boundless Divine Monarch already wants to cry without tears. Speaking of these tears, he remembered that this little girl had never cried to Gu Jinxuan from beginning to end, but she pretended to cry vigorously. is so pretentious, I wonder what man in the world would like. Thinking of it like this, the boundless anger rose again, and he questioned the girl in front of him from time to time.
"Didn't I tell you that all men can't see women crying pear blossoms with rain and pitiful. Why didn't you cry to Gu Jinxuan just now? ”
"I'm a fairy, how can a fairy cry!"
Xiao Yan felt a little overreacted to the Boundless Divine Monarch's thunderous jump. Although immortals have a longer lifespan than mortal immortals, she doesn't feel that it will take years or even more than ten years to fall in love with a mortal. And this and so on is just a dream, and it is an illusory bubble. Therefore, she really can't understand why there are always immortals in the sky who go down to earth to experience the calamities of life, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and parting, and the taste of not being able to ask for it. However, this and all of that was not very relevant to her. So Xiao Yan looked at the Boundless Divine Monarch who was blowing his beard and glaring at him.
"Anyway, I don't care, at first we said that I would help that mortal named Gu Jinxuan go through the calamity, and you will help me find the sister who has fallen into reincarnation. But I didn't say exactly what kind of calendar it was, and now I've done it. It's time for you to make good on your promise! ”
"Hey, stinky girl. If you dare to ask you to calculate me, I'll just say why did you promise so happily at that time! ”
After listening to Xiao Yan's words, Fang Hou realized that he had been deceived by a milky little girl. He suddenly became even more angry, and then remembered the old grudge with this little girl's father. The father and daughter took turns to torture him, so they scolded again.
"You and your father are really a raccoon dog, a nest of snakes and rats. You Lao Tzu Xiyi Shenjun knows that he is a calculating god in his nest, and you, a little one, know how to deceive God. ”
"If you scold me, forget it, why scold my father!"
"I'll scold, Xiyi Shenjun, that old horseman, old and immortal......"
"You don't die when you're old, and you don't respect ...... for old age"
"Hmph, stinky girl, I'm going to break up with you!"
"If you break off friendship, you will break off friendship, who is afraid of whom!"
In the middle of the night, in the wilderness. In the depths of this dense forest, an old man and a young man scolded each other, and then the road went to the sky, and disappeared without a trace. However, the birds and insects in the mountains have never stopped, as if they have never been so old and young.
