Chapter Three The Old Maid
I saw the crystal light in front of me, white and wide, extending into the distance like a fan. It turned out to be a huge arc-shaped snow field. Chang Sihao raised his hand to cover his forehead and looked closely. His place was surrounded by snow on three sides, as if it was the center of the fan handle. The snow was turning toward the sun. But the snow in this snow field did not melt. It was as if a god in the world threw down a piece of jade without any flaws. There was not even a footprint.
Gu Siyi said: "The water surface is frozen in winter. If you see it in summer, there are water birds, lotus flowers, and fish jumping around. It will be much more lively."
Only then did Chang Sihao realize that this was a big lake. No wonder it was flat like a mirror. There was ice underneath. The snow above naturally could not melt. His eyes were far away. He saw the snow connecting to the other side of the shore. The clouds walked up the sky immediately. His heart was relaxed. He nodded and said, "Summer is prosperous and winter is clean. It's all good. Let's go." The two of them walked slowly on the shore. The sun was soft and soft. It was warm and comfortable to shine on their bodies. There were many willow trees planted on both sides of the path.
Gu Siyi pointed to a tree and said, "Look at these trunks, it seems to be dead. In fact, after spring, the buds and leaves are green and look very beautiful. When I was young, I often sneaked out and pulled the willow branches to play the swing." Chang Sihao smiled and said, "You are naughty." Gu Siyi smiled and said, "It is said that the plants and trees are in autumn. In fact, when the trees are in spring, they are full of vitality. There is a new atmosphere every year. But people can only age like a year."
Chang Sihao looked at her and smiled, "You are so young, but there are many old people's feelings." Gu Siyi's delicate face turned slightly, turned her head and asked hesitantly, "You said you wanted to tell your master to redeem me, but you are sincere." Chang Sihao nodded, "That's natural." When he came to Beijing, he could not spend all the thousands of taels of silver notes from Yu Zhide. As long as the master was willing to sell and buy a maid, it would be no problem.
Gu Siyi stopped facing the ice lake. Looking at the bushes on the other side, letting the snow cover the tears in her eyes. She said, "In the past, the old master likes quietness. The people below us always want to chat, but they dare not say it, for fear of making him angry and angry. But this year, the old master is gone. I and other sisters and nannies often get together to talk, but I have nothing to say. Alas. People are much quieter, just want to be lively. After the bustle, I will want to be quiet again. The bustle is temporary. Only tranquility lasts for a long time."
Chang Sihao nodded slightly: "This is the same as eating. People will still be hungry when they are full. Eating is temporary. Only when they are hungry will last for a long time."
Gu Siyi smiled and said, "You are a funny person. I've seen you laugh more often than you have seen in the past ten years." Chang Sihao said, "You must be exaggerating. You used to be fooled that I would be in bed for a year. Later, I said three or five months. Now I'm not good enough to stand here." Gu Siyi smiled and said, "I'm afraid your arms will turn into dry sausages. So I'm going to ask you to lie down and raise more." Chang Sihao said, "I'm afraid that it's even worse." Gu Siyi laughed. Chang Sihao said, "Sister. Actually, you should be very cheerful. Maybe it's because of the environment. After staying for a long time, you will naturally feel bored. After we go out, I'll take you shopping first. Buy two new clothes to wear. I will definitely feel good."
Gu Siyi smiled slightly: "It's good that you have the will. I won't leave this."
Chang Sihao asked: "Why."
Gu Siyi looked up at the blue sky and murmured: "I have been lonely for a long time and have become accustomed to loneliness. Gradually, loneliness has become a personality. You can make me happy for a while, but you can't give me long-term joy. Mr. Liu said, 'Treatment of illness cannot cure life'. It is not bad at all."
Chang Sihao was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to persuade her.
The two of them looked at the scenery quietly for a while. Gu Siyi suddenly looked back and asked with a smile: "Am I beautiful?"
Chang Sihao was stunned for a moment. Nodded. Seeing her eyes circling, she was still looking forward to it. She hurriedly said, "Beautiful. Sister is very beautiful."
Gu Siyi lowered her head and smiled softly, "It makes you laugh at me. I have felt that I was born beautiful since I was a child. I often looked in the mirror for half a day. The more I looked, the happier I felt. Although I didn't ask people for praise like now, I was very shameless."
As she spoke, she recalled the past. Her cheeks were blushing. She looked like peach blossoms blooming in the sun. She looked even more gorgeous and unparalleled. Chang Sihao thought to herself: "You are probably a thousand miles away from Shui Yanxiang. But you are gentle and much better than her." She praised: "This sister's blessing is probably not as good as me. The mirror under the world is brighter and brighter. It is also Huang Yangyang who looks at her face. It's not as white and pink as you are real person. I look at this look. I'm afraid it's worth watching you for ten years. Unfortunately, I'm cooking dumplings in my teapot. I know you're so beautiful, but I don't know how to praise you."
"You can't praise you yet. This mouth is like a parrot."
Gu Siyi was very happy. She smiled for a while and said, "I should have been grateful for it all the time. I have received gifts from God. I should not ask for more. I just came to this world for a time. I am the most beautiful for the past ten years. I have never heard a man praise me personally. I am always unwilling to accept it. Today I finally made a wish." She held the withered willows and looked out into the sky outside the ice lake. The great student in her eyes: "In this day when youth has not yet passed, it is enough for me to have you accompany you through this small path by the lake... This road, no matter the next ten years, twenty years, or this life, I will remember it."
She said the next few words, and the love was soft and the wound was in tears. Chang Sihao almost burst into tears. He couldn't help but pull her hand and said, "Sister, why are you doing this?" He wanted to persuade him again. The whirlwind was so shaved that the snow on the lake was like smoke. He hurriedly lifted up his warm cloak and covered his head and neck for Gu Siyi. With this bow, he suddenly found out from the corner of his eyes that someone leaned his head and looked at this side. He was vaguely watching the warrior guarding his courtyard gate. He thought to himself, "This man is sneaking. Could he be monitoring me."
He was wary of his heart. Sure enough, he found one or two people hiding behind a tree or hiding on the wall. He peeked here, "I am now outdoor. They are naturally not afraid of me stealing things. Since the master is willing to let Sister Gu serve me who is bedridden, he naturally doesn't care that I have done anything rude to her. When they were in the yard, they didn't let me go out. Now they are here to peek again. They are afraid that I will escape. This is not a way to entertain guests." He turned his mind and put his hands on Gu Siyi's shoulder. He said, "Sister, look at how clean the lake is. There are not even any footprints on it. Let's go up and step on it."
Gu Siyi said, "Okay." Chang Sihao pulled her onto the ice surface. His feet were squeaking and his footprints were not deep. It turned out that the ice was as flat as a mirror. There was only a thin layer of snow powder on it. Chang Sihao smiled and said, "The ice is very thick. Let's go skiing." He took a big step forward and made a touch. Gu Siyi was pulled and slid far away by him. Looking back, the ice surface was exposed. The ice was frozen very deep and the material was solid. He started playing with him. The two of them slid for a few times. The interest grew higher and higher. Chang Sihao said, "Short slip is not enough. Let's have fun." He asked Gu Siyi to squat down. He pulled her forward and ran for more than ten steps. His waist twisted. He screamed: "Let's go." He shook forward. Gu Siyi's body was off his hands, like an ice car, heading straight to the center of the lake.
Chang Sihao pretended to shout: "Ah. I'm taking my hand off. Sister is waiting for me." Then he chased after him and glanced backwards. On the shore, six or seven people poked their heads out at the corner of the wall. His expression was panicked and he didn't know what to do.
Gu Siyi only felt a whistling sound in her ears. Her body moved forward rapidly. The snow plowed from her feet turned into ice fog and rushed towards her with the cold wind. She quickly closed her eyes. She had stopped breathing for a while and couldn't even scream. She felt her body shaking and the center of gravity was unstable. She was about to fall. Chang Sihao caught up with her and grabbed her little hand. She followed the forward sliding momentum and turned her body around. She had already swung her in the air and held her in her arms. Her speed did not decrease but increased. She slid straight to the opposite bank by taking advantage of inertia.
Gu Siyi opened his eyes in his arms. Chang Sihao's lips were pursed, his eyes firm, and he looked ahead. His hair was blown up by the wind. The blue sky and white clouds on his shoulders were quickly passing away. He was in his arms like a baby cared for and teased by his father. He threw it high and held it steadily. There was no fear in his heart, only endless joy. He couldn't help but feel a fever on his face. He just hoped that this slip would slide to the ends of the world. The road ahead was endless.
Chang Sihao relied on the solid stake method, and took the center of gravity properly. He increased his strength several times in the middle and easily slid to the other side. He left a long scratch on the ice and snow. He took a step back and looked back. Where the two were walking just now, it was a round island surrounded by an ice lake. The warriors no longer hid. They went down to the shore and looked here under the willow tree. The distance was too far. The expression was no longer clear. It seemed that something unexpected happened. They didn't know whether to chase Gu Siyi. Chang Sihao put Gu Siyi underground and smiled and said, "It seems that your master is very hospitable. He was afraid that I would run away."
Gu Siyi woke up from a dream. He hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Let's go back quickly." Chang Sihao flipped his hand and grabbed her wrist and stared at her eyes: "Who is your master? Why do you need to be placed under house arrest?" Gu Siyi was pierced by the fierce light in his eyes. He suddenly numb from head to soles of his feet. He trembled and said, "What are you talking about?" Chang Sihao said coldly: "Those people were obviously sent to guard me. You don't know." Gu Siyi said, "They are here to protect you. Why are they guarding me?" Chang Sihao said angrily: "Chang Siyi changed the name. The result was not the same." Gu Siyi said anxiously: "If he wants to harm you, how could he be in the east.
The factory staff will save you." Chang Sihao said, "How do I know what he was thinking? Stop talking nonsense. Say it quickly. Otherwise..." He raised his fingers and pointed it at her eyes: "Hmph. Your eyes are so beautiful that they look tight. If you dig it out, you can't look in the mirror in the future. You will feel uncomfortable." Gu Siyi's heart was cold and said, "What the master told us not to say. We can't say. If you hurt me, it's up to you. Today is the happiest day in my life. You might as well kill me and let me die quickly, so that there will be many years to endure in the future." After that, he closed his eyes. Tears drew two bright lines on his cheeks.
