After the six guests sat down, they first exchanged a few polite words, and then ate and drank the wine and food that the store had reheated. Everyone first talked about swords and fists and feet, then talked about some things about the journey and interesting things, then praised the two children for their well-behaved and sensible, and finally talked about life is not easy, there are always so many hard twists and turns. Everyone had enough to eat, and the wine was slightly drunk, and they were silent for a while.

"Brother Geng, can you play another tune, that voice is really beautiful. You Boyun broke the silence first.

"Yes. Geng Buqu took out the white jade Xiao from his arms. There was a blood-red watermark at the mouth of this jade Xiao. He put the watermark to his lips, and the music pierced the quiet evening night. It is agile and soft, beautiful and graceful, and floats back to the moonlit blue lake with the rise and fall of the tide.

The song stopped, Geng Buqu opened his mouth and sang:

"The night is raining and the ink is not penetrating,

It is difficult to stay in the shape of the moon and the moon,

The concubine is not worried,

The soul lingers for a long time~"

After the song, Geng Buqu was silent for a long time.

"It's beautiful, but it feels sad, is this a song you wrote yourself?" asked You Boyun.

Geng Buqu shook his head, looked at the two children who were already asleep, and sighed lightly: "This is the song that the child sings... While she's gone..."

"When you left?" You Boyun asked, "Where did she go?"

Geng Buqu stood up and looked at the lake outside the window with deep eyes, "Three years ago today, I personally sent her to the bottom of the Divine Heart Lake there..."

"Ahh

Geng Buqu sighed and said, "Because she is a member of the Axe Rejection Clan." ”

"Resist the axe clan?" You Boyun was still puzzled.

"No wonder, I mean the two children have different counseling, so that's the case. Xiao Sheng said softly: "The Axe Rejection Clan really continues that ancient custom. ”

"Hey, what customs?" You Boyun was even more curious: "Xiaosheng, you know?"

Xiao Sheng said: "Let's listen to Brother Geng." ”

Geng Buqu drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, "The old things of a decadent man are not worth polluting your ears." ”

You Boyun and Lin Feng immediately expressed their willingness to listen, and Xiao Sheng also picked up the wine jug and refilled the wine glasses of several people.

Geng Buqu sat back in his seat with a cup and told his story leisurely.

Ten years ago, when I was young and vigorous, I always fantasized about changing the cowardly custom of our Mantis tribe who only knew how to sing poems and songs, so I said goodbye and looked for teachers and friends everywhere to learn martial arts. In the next two years, I was not afraid of hard work, practiced hard day and night, and finally achieved a small success in martial arts. So I smug myself and went to Haishi, where there were many people and I seemed to be able to make a name for myself.

Maybe it's providence, I met her on my first day in Haishi. On the Lanhai Pavilion, she sat quietly by the window alone, and her thin and delicate face was particularly conspicuous and beautiful with her golden off-the-shoulder bodysuit. At that moment I forgot to breathe, and I was amazed that there was such a beautiful woman in the world, and I could not take my eyes off her at all.

After a moment, she sensed my gaze and turned her face away. The dark eyebrows are like the rising crescent moon, the golden eyes are like clear gems, the straight nose bridge, and the small lips, there is no place that is not flawless. She was stunned at first when she saw me, and then she smiled charmingly. I suddenly felt that my soul was instantly snatched away by her.

I stood for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to walk towards her. We talked like best friends we hadn't seen in years, from day to night. She told me that her name was Wei Ziying, that she was from the Axe Rejection Clan, that she had just reached adulthood at the age of sixteen this year, and that she had left the tribe to find a different way to change the Axe Rejection Clan's stupid customs.

My heart was pounding, and I told her what I wanted to do. She smiled and said that we could actually complement each other, and said that she wanted to see my martial arts. I was so happy that I found a secluded place to show her my best moves, hoping to win her approval. She just laughed. I was a little apprehensive and asked why. She said that most of my practice is just a showcase, and it looks good and is not easy to use. I was a little unconvinced, so I asked her for advice, and it turned out to be a failure.

I was ashamed in my heart, and I only felt shameless to face Wei Ziying. But she didn't care, but comforted me, saying that her tribe, both male and female, had been severely trained to urinate at a young age, and that it was not easy for me to leave home halfway. As she spoke, she took out another book, "Optimism", which she bought in the market, and she handed it to me and asked me to sing it to her.

This book is probably an enlightenment reading book in our Mantis tribe, and I can memorize it backwards without a book. I chose a few of my favorite lyrics and songs, and sang them in the darkness of the night. After singing, he turned around, and there were two lines of tears on Wei Ziying's beautiful face in the moonlight.

When she saw me looking at her stupidly, she smiled shyly and wiped away her tears with her sleeve. She said that my singing voice was the most beautiful voice she had ever heard, and it was so beautiful that it fascinated her. I was flattered, and my heart seemed to fly.

With the fragrance of a girl, she approached me, so close that we could hear each other's heartbeats and feel each other's breathing. She looked up into my eyes, and I looked into hers. My mind went blank and I couldn't believe it was true, until her warm, moist lips gently pressed against mine.

I hugged her frantically and kissed her like I was going to suck her soul out of her mouth. Her body trembled slightly, and she let me move like a storm. That night, she gave herself to me.

The year that followed, we had a very happy time. She taught me martial arts, I taught her poetry, and every day I traveled around the world as my home. Until one day, she suddenly told me that she had our child. I was overjoyed and felt a great sense of responsibility. I offered to let her go back to the Mantis with me, and she hesitated but agreed.

It's a pity that the old thinking in the Mantis tribe has no way to accept her, and even my parents have been reprimanded, so I have no choice but to leave. She didn't want to go to a crowded place anymore, so we found a cave where the Axe Resistor people habitually lived on the edge of the Qiqian Mountain and the Giant Crown Deep Forest, and built a few thatched huts next to the cave, waiting for the arrival of the little life.

As her belly grew bigger and bigger, Wei Ziying became more and more attached to me, and she would only sleep if I had to hold her around and sing to her every day. I was really stupid at that time, just looking forward to the birth of the child, and I didn't notice Wei Ziying's psychological changes at all. She's actually scared!

Eventually, our first child was a very healthy boy with the mark of the Axe Rejection Clan on his head. When I held him up in front of Wei Ziying, her eyes burst with infinite joy. I suddenly realized that I hadn't seen Wei Ziying smile like this for a long time, so unrestrained, so resolute and confident.

From that day on, Wei Ziying seemed to have changed back to her old self, she did her best to raise her children and care for me. Soon we left the cave and revisited Haishi and many other places, and finally came to Shenxin Lake.

We were paddling on the surface of the Lake of the Divine Heart, and she looked at the blue and bottomless water below. I asked her what was wrong? She looked up at me just like we had when we first met. After a long time, she whispered, "I want to be with you forever." ”

I smiled, clasped her hand and said, "I want to be with you forever." ”

She said, "Then will you kill me?"

I thought I had misheard and looked at her in surprise. She added, "If you kill me, my soul will be with you for the rest of my life." ”

I couldn't believe my ears, "No, it can't be, I'll only protect you with my own life, how can I kill you!"

Wei Ziying suddenly burst into tears, "I always thought that I could change myself and change the tribal traditions. But my body still flows with the blood of the Axe Clan that has been passed down from generation to generation, and I have no way to keep myself from thinking or being afraid..."

I hugged her in my arms, "It's because I don't have any money, I can't let you and your child live a stable and comfortable life..."

She shook her head and said, "No, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were the person I was destined to be." I love you, being with you is the happiest and happiest thing in my life, and I want to be with you for the rest of my life, never to be separated. ”

When I heard this, I was both happy and moved, "Then what are you afraid of?"

Wei Ziying straightened up, looked at me with infinite attachment and sincerity, and said: "We have a custom since ancient times, if you really love someone, then after combining with him and having a child, let him kill you, so that your soul will not be taken away by the Yin God, and you will be entangled with him for the rest of your life." ”

I was speechless, and I was powerless to accuse this ridiculous bad habit, so it took me a long time before I said, "Then I'd rather you kill me, so that we can be together for the rest of our lives!"

Wei Ziying's tears rolled down again, she put her arms around my neck and kissed me gently, "You are not a member of the Axe Rejection Clan, you will not understand this feeling." My mother left when I was weaned, so I never understood why the tribe had such cruel customs and was determined to change it. But when I had a child, deep down in my heart it was like something was suddenly touched, the more I loved you, the more I was afraid of losing you, and the more I was afraid, the more I couldn't stop thinking about it. I gradually understood my mother, my father, and the fate of the Axe Rejection Clan. So when I saw the child, I decided not to run away anymore, I want to face the reality bravely, face my heart, I want to be with you forever. Only by dying at your hands can I be at ease..."

Listening to her say this, I really thought I should let her go. I have never disobeyed her, I am willing to do anything for her, but this time, I want to kill her with my own hands. You can imagine how hesitating, how dilemma, and how painful I was at that time. I knew I couldn't die for her, but I didn't want her to leave me like this. We were silent, as if the heavens and the earth had stopped.

I don't know how long it took, she picked up my face, stared at my desperate eyes, and smiled lightly: "Or... Let's wait for the children to get older... In this way, he may be able to understand more or less as a mother..."

When I heard this, I grabbed her shoulders with excitement. Seeing the pained expression on her face, I hurriedly let go of my hand and said incoherently, "Okay, we... Let's break those stereotypes together, we all have to live well, you know, you know, I can't live if you die... I..."

I speak like a hero, but I can't even get the Mantis tribe to accept her, and I can't talk about any changes. But Wei Ziying didn't say anything, only pressed her slender fingers on my mouth, and said softly: "Let's go back, I'm afraid Xia'er will wake up." I knew it would be useless to say anything more, so the two of them went back to the inn with their own hearts.

Spring went to autumn, and we spent another two years in the cave of Mt. Kaozen. Wei Ziying always kept a smile in front of me and Xia'er, but her body was weakening day by day. She was pregnant again, and after she became pregnant, she could no longer control her emotions, and often cried all night long while she was asleep, and occasionally looked at me with a hint of resentment in her eyes. I knew she was scared, I knew she was resentful, but I was even more afraid of losing her.

I used all my savings to buy this ice iron heavy sword, and brought the ancestral jade Xiao from the Mantis tribe. Playing a sword and blowing Xiao for her every day, I hope she can be more relieved. But it backfired, she actually scolded me, saying that I didn't love her at all, didn't care about her, and wanted her to suffer so much, and said that I didn't want to be with her at all, and wanted her soul to sink into hell forever. After scolding, she cried in front of me and the child, and no matter how much I and Xia'er comforted and persuaded her, she couldn't stop. Finally she was tired of crying, and fell asleep in my arms.

I looked at Wei Ziying's still young and beautiful face, and my heart was like a knife. Gently placed her on the bed, went out, ran to the mountain like a madman, drew the ice and iron sword, and used the power of his life to keep swinging and slashing. Among the falling leaves, I snorted at the cold moon, and my heart was broken.

Leaning on the sword, I finally cried, tears that had been lost for a long time with a long bitterness spilled on the cold rocks, and helpless whimpering resounded in the quiet valley. In the middle of the night, I dragged my hollow body back to the cave. Wei Ziying was still asleep, and Xia'er was by her side. He tugged at his cheeks with both hands, trying to keep himself awake, and when he saw me coming back, he said tiredly: "Daddy, go and rest, I will guard my mother..."

My tears rolled down silently, and I picked up his little body that was a little cold, stared at his beautiful and crystal yellow pupils like Wei Ziying, and said, "Xia'er, what if my mother leaves us one day?"

Xia'er stretched out her hand to wipe away my tears, "Xia'er doesn't ask for much, if my mother can be happy when she leaves, Xia'er will be happy..."

I was struck by lightning, and I read poetry books for more than ten years, but there was no child who was open-minded. Ziying and Xia'er are right, instead of twisting together painfully every day, it is better to be brave to separate, the reason why life is bitter is because they care too much.

A word to wake up the dreamer. I snuggled Xia'er in my arms with a full heart, and he soon fell asleep. I put him next to Wei Ziying, looking at the quiet faces of their mother and son, and great happiness welled up in my heart.

Soon after, Mi'er was born. Wei Ziying and I looked at each other and smiled while holding this little life. He has the mark of the Mantis and pale green eyes, which is similar to me.

Although the days that followed were busy and ordinary, our little cave was filled with warm warmth and laughter day and night. The flowers bloom and fall, and finally it is that special day. I took Xia'er by the hand, Wei Ziying held the freshly weaned Mi'er, and we came to the Divine Heart Lake again.

After placing the two children in the inn, Wei Ziying and I took a boat to the middle of the lake. She was wearing the yellow tights she wore when she first met in Lanhai Pavilion, combing the girl's hair in a bun, her eyes flowing, and she looked forward to life. The only difference is that she now has a long sword and a jade Xiao tattooed on her bare shoulder, which are intimately intertwined, just like me and Wei Ziying.

The refreshing moonlight is like water draining, the steaming water vapor fills the lake, the mountain shadow is blue, the wind whispers softly, we seem to be in the fairyland of Langyuan. Wei Ziying said: "I wrote a song, and I didn't write it well, would you like to listen to it?"

I smiled and said, "I want to hear from you." ”

She took out Yu Xiao, opened her lips, spread her teeth, and the melodious sound of Xiao slid like silk satin across the lake and light smoke. In the middle of the melody, she opened her throat and sang: "The rain in the night is not transparent, the clouds and the moon are difficult to stay, the concubine is not worried, and the soul lingers for a long time~"

I endured the grief in my heart and listened to her sing this song "Jun Mo Worry", and wanted to tell some jokes, but my throat was choked.

She looked at me with a smile and leaned closer, close enough that we could hear each other's heartbeats and feel each other's breathing. This time, she lifted her chin slightly and closed her eyes. I wiped away the tears that had been shedding my breath and pressed my cold lips to hers. Her lips were still moist and warm. She reached out and hugged me, holding me tightly in her arms. My body trembled slightly, allowing her to move like a spring breeze and rain.

After a long time, she let go of her hand, "Don't bend, send me away." ”

I watched as she rolled over the side of the boat and submerged half of her body in the water, her right hand clasping the side of the boat and her left hand holding my right hand. I silently reached out and took her hands. She was like a newborn child, smiling innocently, "Don't bend, we will be together forever and ever, goodbye..."

I let go of my hands, and her beautiful figure faded into the blue waters. The moment I couldn't see her again, I suddenly shouted in a frenzy, "No!

I jumped into the lake, trying to pull Wei Ziying up again, but I couldn't see her anywhere in the dark water. I buried my head in wandering, I wanted to die with her like this, but I thought that Xia'er and Mi'er were young, how could I bear to let their parents die from now on, and they would be lonely.
