Chapter 25: It's hard to say goodbye when you meet
After breakfast, Nanjian started to get busy!
He filled the water tank with water, and used an axe to chop the dry wood behind the house into pieces, and stacked them into a high pile of wood under the eaves to shelter from the rain, and inspected the fence piles that surrounded the front and back of the house, and replaced all the decay and looseness, so that each fence post was strong and stable enough to withstand the destruction of wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

While he was doing all this, for some reason, Jiang Xiuxiu looked worried and frowned, and when he stopped to wipe the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, she took the opportunity to bring him a refreshing bowl of herbal tea.
"Take a break!" she said with pity.
She didn't know what to call him, it seemed that Nan Daxia seemed too distant and unfamiliar, and if she called him by his first name, she felt that her relationship with him had not yet reached that level. So, she simply didn't have any titles.
She was so moved at the sight of him that he was dripping with sweat and smiling affectionately at herself, that she could not help but take her champa and reach over to wipe the sweat from his face.
Nan Jian looked at her quietly, this kind of gentle feeling was the first time he had grown up from a woman who was not his mother. He noticed a faint sadness on her face, a lingering sadness between her brows, and at this moment, he suddenly realized that she was reluctant to give up on his imminent departure.
Thinking about it this way, he felt so happy, and this was the first time in his life that he realized that the concern of a woman who was not a relative was so warm and lingering!
And she, although she knew that he was watching her quietly, she deliberately pretended not to know, and did not dare to meet his gaze, because she liked the feeling of being stared at by him so quietly, and she felt that only when she was stared at by him did she know that she was valuable in his mind.
Moreover, she feared that if she met his gaze, she would overwhelm him and flee in panic, and that she would be annoyed that it was her own recklessness that had taken away his infinite warm gaze.
Watching him drink the herbal tea delivered by herself, she was very happy, and she had an indescribable sense of happiness, as if, after drinking this bowl of herbal tea, he would become hers!
She took the empty tea bowl he handed him, and at the same time accepted the gentle smile he expressed to her, and she felt that in this smile of his, there was not only a deep love for her, but also a longing for their future happiness.
So she smiled herself—a gentle smile—and smiled shyly. It was her laughter that intoxicated his heart and made him sigh in his heart:
"How beautiful, this is the most beautiful smile I have ever seen in the world, it is better than any delicate and charming flower in the world!"
"Are you leaving?" she asked as she took the bowl.
When he heard this, he was stunned, and at that moment his thoughts were tumbling, and he did not know what to answer, for he was afraid that if he did not answer properly, he would hurt her heart, which was as weak and beautiful as a delicate flower.
However, in the end, he replied with two words:
"Yes. He turned, ready to finish the task at hand.
As he said these two words, he also realized that these two words had never made him feel as unbearable as he did today.
I don't know why, after listening to these two words he said, she suddenly couldn't hold back her emotions and shed tears!
At that time, although Nanjian had his back to her, he resolutely turned to face her as if he had seen it, but the question he had blurted out immediately made him feel regretful and improper.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
This question made her feel as if she had been insulted, and then she raised her face stubbornly with hazy teary eyes, glanced at the blue sky, and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"It's nothing, I just want to cry. ”
The emotional tentacles between lovers are sometimes so subtle, and once the words that shouldn't be said are spoken, they will break each other's hearts!
Hearing her say this, he knew that it was all because of his inappropriate words just now, so he felt a faint trace of remorse and sadness in his heart.
Immediately, she asked:
"When are you leaving?"
"Leave after lunch!"
"Do you want to come back?"
"Come back. He finally seized an opportunity to turn the situation around, and he replied so quickly that she could feel his true feelings from this sentence.
Immediately, a warm sunshine shone into the depths of her heart, and her face suddenly bloomed with an excited smile again, and even the tears flowing on her face became the most elegant decoration of her charming smile at that moment.
Her heart stirred with the urge of happiness again, so she could no longer care about the girl's unique reserve, and threw herself into Nanjian's thick and straight chest.
When she felt that he loved her so strongly, her tears welled up again, but this time it was a completely different story!
"And where are you going?"
"Go to the Blue Dragon Gang. ”
"When will you be back?" she asked, crouching into his arms.
"Gang Leader Zheng's revenge has not been avenged, and the mastermind behind the scenes has not yet been found out," Nan Jian looked at the pine forest in front of him and said leisurely, "My mission is not over yet;
"If you meet a woman like me outside, will you still tell her, do you like her?"
"No!" Nan Jian said resolutely, "True love does not need an oath or a commitment, it is trust - it is trust in one's lover and oneself!"
"Then when you come back, tell me in advance!" she said, "I'm going to dress myself up to meet you!"
"Okay, I remember!"
After lunch, Jiang Xiuxiu had already folded the burden for Nanjian's long journey, and the grandfather and grandson sent him out of the chaimen, of course the old man Jiang Yiming knew that the young man had a lot to say at this moment, and of course he knew how to leave some space for the young man.
So he stopped and said:
"Child, grandpa is old, so he won't send it far away. When you go outside, you have to think twice about everything, and I hope you will come back soon!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, I will not forget your instructions, and I will come back when the matter is done. Nanjian said, and said goodbye to the old man.
Xiuxiu also sent it out of Lin Zikou, so he didn't let it go, because he was worried that she was a weak woman, and she would return from this barren mountain and mountain alone later, for fear that it would not be safe.
The two stopped again, and when they parted, Xiuxiu wept and choked up and could not say a word, so he took her in his arms, and until she was calm, he took her shoulders, and said with all his might, with a smile:
"Promise me to take care of myself and my grandfather's body, and I'll be back soon!"
She couldn't speak, only stared at his face with tearful eyes, and nodded strongly, mum, to reassure him!
So, he picked up his baggage, carried his ancient pine sword with a very ordinary style, and resolutely embarked on a new journey.
