The morning mist is shrouded, the morning sun is beginning to appear, the empty mountains are lonely, and the clouds are steaming.

In the early morning, the dew is heavy, and the woods are dense in the mountains, a woman dressed in white like snow walks on the rugged and steep mountain rocks with a bamboo basket in her hand, her long hair is like ink, and she only ties a bow with a plush snow-white hairband at will, and her clothes are white and snowy, and the collar and cuffs also have a circle of snow-white warm rabbit hair.

She was holding a bamboo basket with a few mushrooms and wild fruits, and it was still early spring, and it was very difficult to find food in the mountains, and it was often necessary to go to the cliffs to pick some mushrooms. She never knew that she had become a mortal, and her stomach would be hungry, and she had to rely on these things to survive.

Since jumping off Zhuxiantai half a month ago, she was placed in this deep mountain by Mo Zili, these days she slowly adapted to the loss of her immortal body, learned to identify food, learned to make a fire to cook, although it was only a short half a month, but it seemed like a lifetime.

There are a few purple-red wild vegetables growing in the rocks on the cliff in front of him, although I don't know what the name is, but I vaguely remember that it can be eaten, Gong Qianzhu looked up at the height of the cliff, silently put down the bamboo basket in his hand, and climbed the steep rock wall slowly up.

Suddenly, she slipped on a mossy rock, and her body was unstable, and she fell straight down.

"Chitake!"

An exclamation sounded, and then a blue light flashed, Qing Jiu caught her steadily in the air, put her down safely, and couldn't help but blame: "Didn't you let you have a good rest? Why did you come out and run around again?"

Gong Qianzhu didn't answer, just quietly looked at the abrasions on her white palm, some blood oozed slightly, her eyes flashed, she forgot, she became a mortal, she would also bleed.

Qing Jiu saw that she didn't speak, and looked at the abrasions on her hands, and felt that Fang Cai's words were a little heavy, so she quickly eased her tone, smiled with relief, and lifted the food basket in her hand, "Qianzhu, look, today I brought you your favorite lotus seed soup, and some osmanthus cakes, you used to like these very much......"

Gong Qianzhu silently pushed her away, picked up the bamboo basket on the ground and walked back slowly.

Qing Jiu stood in place with a dejected expression, for so many days, she came to bring her food every day, but she never said a word, she would rather learn to cook by herself and be burned than anything she brought.

Qianzhu still refuses to forgive, and when she thinks about it, the fairy world has hurt her so much.

Or maybe Qianzhu just wanted the master to come and see her, every time she noticed someone approaching, her dim eyes would always brighten a little, and when she found out that it was her, she faded again, until she was disappointed more times, and there was no light in her eyes again.

Qing Jiu's slender fingers clenched the food basket in her hand, she didn't persuade the master to come and see her, but every time she told the master about it, the master was just quiet and silent, and then walked into the Yuehua Palace.

She couldn't guess what the master was thinking, she obviously cared about Qianzhu so much, and she was so relieved that she couldn't come to see her, but she refused to come to see her; Qianzhu was too, she obviously wanted the master to come to visit her, but she refused to say it, and would rather keep it in her heart, losing weight day by day, and she was distressed and anxious to see her.

Gong Qianzhu had already walked a while carrying the bamboo basket, his steps slowed down, and he turned around and spoke quietly: "Senior sister, let's stay for dinner today, I picked some mushrooms, you can cook mushroom soup." ”

Qing Jiu was suddenly pleasantly surprised, this was the first thing she had said in so many days, and she was still willing to call her senior sister, so she was still a master, right?

.

At the end of the stone pebble path, a simple and clean bamboo house is located in a secluded bamboo forest, the morning sun has completely come out, through the dense green leaves, scattering mottled bamboo shadows on the bluestone, the bamboo forest is breezy in the breeze, the fragrance is fragrant, and you can hear the tactful call of mountain birds from time to time, it is indeed a pure place.

in the bamboo house.

A plate of stir-fried wild vegetables, two bowls of stewed mushroom soup, simple rice on the table, and two pairs of bamboo chopsticks are placed in a regular manner.

Qing Jiu looked at these simple to rough meals, his expression was a little unnatural, did Qianzhu eat these things for so many days?

Seeing that Gong Qianzhu had already picked up the bamboo chopsticks and ate quietly, Qing Jiu hesitated, picked up the bowl and drank two mouthfuls of mushroom soup, although there was no taste, but there was a natural light fragrance of mushrooms in the soup, and it was not difficult to eat.

She took two more sips of soup, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Qianzhu, senior sister wants to have a good talk with you." ”

Gong Qianzhu paused with his hand holding the chopsticks to pick up the wild vegetables, and then quietly said "um", picked up a purple-red vegetable leaf and sent it to his mouth.

"Qianzhu, Master has left the Heavenly Palace a long time ago, and it has been one hundred and twenty-four years since he was in charge of Jiuge, you should know this, right?" Seeing her nod, Qing Jiu continued, "When the Gong family was framed by the Immortal Realm ten years ago, the master who was far away in Jiuge was completely unaware of it, and it was impossible for him to get involved, even if this matter was caused by the Heavenly Monarch, it really had nothing to do with the master, can you understand?"

Gong Qianzhu was silent, just put down his chopsticks, got up and walked to the window, looked at the bamboo forest outside and said lightly: "I know." ”
