Bad news in Chang'an
When he got up the next day, the cool breeze blew on Chen Changye's cheeks, he woke up and found that Qingshang was covering his body, and the woman next to him had disappeared, he looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, and he didn't expect that he had slept so long.
Chen Changye touched his chest, feeling that it was not a big deal, but it was just a little stuffy. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the lake, and suddenly saw something swimming, startled, and he looked at the bottom of the lake, which was like an abyss, unfathomable.
The water of the lake is clear, but there is no bottom in sight, only a large black mass can be seen. Chen Changye gently slid his hand across the water, causing a ripple, the lake was obviously accumulated by the waterfall waterfall, but for some reason it was very calm.
The sound of small fluttering steps came from behind, and Chen Changye looked back to see that the woman was running towards him barefoot, with a few wild vegetables in her hands. At this time, she was dressed in a rag, which looked a little small, and her lower body was also surrounded by a short cloth, her clothes were simple, crisp and generous, and she looked like a neat female general.
Then she handed the wild vegetables to Chen Changye, who was still in a trance, and the slender and bony wrists were very good-looking, and Chen Changye noticed at the same time that at some point she had a string of red ropes hanging on her hands, which surprised him a little.
"Let me eat it?" Chen Changye asked tentatively, is she still eating it raw even if she is already on fire?
The woman tilted her head and thought for a moment, waved her hand to indicate no, she trotted to the fire, imitated Chen Changye's actions yesterday, and sprinkled air on the lynx meat that was being roasted on the fire. She seemed to want to eat yesterday's meat, Chen Changye smiled dumbly, she picked the wrong one, this wild vegetable is not for seasoning.
That's it, Chen Changye looked at the pepper left over from yesterday next to the lake and the white sand piled up on the shore, it is estimated that there is pepper, but the salt is a little difficult to find. Chen Changye patted his body and put on his clothes, he led the woman to the lake, pointed to the pepper, took it off and washed it, and then found two stones to grind into granular powder.
Then it was gently sprinkled on the meat, and the woman clapped her hands happily, and the laughter was as crisp as a brass bell. Chen Changye also smiled, the two simply finished eating the meat, Chen Changye went to scoop water and cook vegetables, he found an iron pot in the sundries, washed it and used it.
The woman was afraid that the water she drank on weekdays was freshwater and rainwater, and she had not drunk boiled water, and when she saw Chen Changye doing this, she was very curious to watch from the side, and her eyes lit up when she drank the vegetable soup, indicating that it tasted good, and her eyes were even more different when she looked at Chen Changye, and she was already a little hot.
After the two of them had eaten a full meal, Chen Changye held a piece of grass in his mouth and asked, "Girl, I don't know what your name is for so long, is it convenient to say your name?"
The woman looked at it, shook her head and said, "No, I forgot, I forgot my name." She knelt on the ground and drew a picture on the ground with one hand, drawing a palanquin and something in the shape of a large knife.
She muttered to herself, "Knife, Daddy, dead." I, the sedan chair, live, I ......" As she spoke, she actually cried, perhaps because she was touched by the scene, remembering the misfortune she had encountered before, or maybe she missed her father and mother, and she was a little sad.
Chen Changye didn't know whether to comfort her or not, at this time she was too little dressed, her shoulders were white, and she couldn't pat her shoulder to comfort her, so she could only say verbally: "Then you don't have a family now? Are you alone? It's okay, I don't have a father." ”
Listening to Chen Changye's words, the woman's mood gradually calmed down, thought about it, and said with a smile: "No, you, it's mine, family!" Her bright smile made Chen Changye a little dazed, she looked like a friend of herself......
The woman suddenly hugged her, her thin arms suddenly came up, and hugged Chen Changye tightly, Chen Changye also heard her heartbeat, the same heartbeat between each other, Chen Changye suddenly felt that his face was hot, and he was a little shy, but he gently persuaded the woman: "Eh, you, this, we, men and women don't kiss, you get up first." ”
For a while, Chen Changye was so frightened that he couldn't speak, but fortunately, the woman still got up, and she looked at Chen Changye with a sweet smile. Chen Changye asked, "Do you remember where your father and mother were?" the woman shook her head blankly.
Chen Changye sighed, looked at the calm lake, and said, "I'm leaving, do you want to go with me?" The woman thought for a while, nodded slightly, and then shook her head again.
The women said this, and Chen Changye couldn't force it, and said: "Since you don't want to go with me, then you can live a good life here, I have to go back to take care of my mother." I'll see you later. There was a little loss in his heart, fleeting, he thought to himself: Seon lost his horse, he knows the blessings and misfortunes, he should not be too sad, maybe she lives here but does not have to be bound by the world?
After that, Chen Changye got up and left, the woman hurriedly grabbed Chen Changye's pants and looked at him with a shy, which made Chen Changye a little confused, and the woman stammered: "I, no name, you give it to me, take it, I'll follow you, go!"
So that's the case, Chen Changye suddenly brightened up, and said with a smile: "Since you don't remember your original name, hmm...... Then it's better to have my last name first. Your surname is Chen, since it is with me, then you have to add another length. You have a red rope pendant, but you don't have a jade pendant, so I'll add another jade to you, how about it?
The woman was stunned, and after thinking about the meaning of Chen Changye's words, she said, "Chen, Chang, Pei?" She actually changed a word herself? But then again, Chen Changpei seemed to be good, so Chen Changye clapped his hands and said, "Okay!
Chen Changpei suddenly laughed, and said with a stupid smile: "Chen Changpei! Chen Changpei!" kept chanting this name in her mouth, which showed how much she liked this name.
The sun was scorching outside, as strong as Chen Changye's desire to go home, if he hurried to Chang'an City, maybe he would be able to go back with the divine doctor! Chen Changye was secretly happy in his heart, and he packed up and took Changpei and left.
In fact, they don't have much belongings, Chen Changye is nothing more than picking some valuable things in the clutter pile, and then bringing a cowhide bow, and Changpei is simpler, she can run rampant in this forest with a spear, and Chen Changye is by her side, so she is naturally extremely relieved.
The two traveled lightly and arrived at the edge of Chang'an City before dark, but they didn't have a pass, and no one was willing to help them get in, so it was getting late and they couldn't go back the same way. So Chen Changye dropped some things and stayed in an inn outside the city, and bought clothes for Changpei by the way.
Chang Pei was extremely domineering in a deserted place, but when she came to this human world, she was at a loss for a while, and when she faced those strangers, she was so shy that she blushed and leaned on Chen Changye, which made Chen Changye cry and laugh.
At night, when she heard that she was going to sleep in a separate room, Changpei was scared, she grabbed Chen Changye's arm, and said very stubbornly: "No, sleep with you!" This sentence surprised Chen Changye, she may not have been educated by these knowledge of women, so she is so ignorant of etiquette. Helplessly, she had great strength, and Chen Changye had to agree.
The next day, Chen Changye woke up to find Chang Pei curled up and sleeping next to him holding his hand tightly, what a sticky little goblin. Chen Changye felt that his arm was numb, so he pulled it out, and this time he also woke up Chen Changpei, seeing her clear and innocent eyes, Chen Changye silently stuffed his hand back again, so that she could continue to sleep soundly.
After finally staying up until noon, the two left the inn to see if they could make the guards accommodating. It happened that a monk dressed in Taoist clothes walked by, Chen Changye went over and asked him if he could take a ride, the monk agreed, and the three of them entered Chang'an City together.
After entering Chang'an City, I inquired about it and learned that the divine doctor had left yesterday, and this news undoubtedly caused Chen Changye to suffer a catastrophe. He almost fell down in front of him, and Changpei next to him hurriedly helped him, although he understood what was going on, he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only be sad secretly.
But no matter what, Chen Changye still had to admit that he was late and it was his fault. Dejected, he took Changpei back to the town, and they staggered behind the caravan.
Chen Changye lost his soul, thinking about how to explain to his mother after he went back, he always had a deep sense of guilt, and Changpei next to him was not good at words, so she could only rub Chen Changye's arm to show comfort. The two walked for a day, and at night they roosted in the woods. Since this is the case, Chang Pei still worked tirelessly to pick wild vegetables to repel mosquitoes and take care of Chen Changye.
Every night, Chen Changye would always get up quietly alone and cry on the shore, and life crushed him. He was confused, he was only an eighteen-year-old boy, and he didn't know where the future was heading......
