Qiaojiazhai is located in the largest mountain range in Lingxi County. A peak called Dutian in the southwest corner is the tallest and steepest in the mountains. Usually few people come here. However, on this day, a peak appeared on Dutian Peak.
A silhouette, lonely and lonely.
"The fifth prince and his men have been killed. Your Highness...ah, now it's time to call your Majesty. Your Majesty just became a father a few days ago, and he is extremely doting on the Queen. If you saw it, you would definitely be bitter and mean to both of them.
Let's have a good meal together." He opened the wine jar and the rich aroma of wine came to his face. Zhan Ting took a deep sniff and closed his eyes to enjoy it. "It smells so good. As expected of Boss Ning, every time he brings wine, it tastes great."
It’s extraordinary. Qing Xu, if you smell it, does it taste better than the wine we have drunk?”
The cold tombstone would not respond. There was a heartbreaking name engraved in strong fonts on the tombstone, which was completely opposite to that person's character. He was quiet and silent.
The huge mountain and the huge village seemed to have lost their vitality without her, and everything was dull and depressing. In other words, it was precisely because of her existence that this bold and free land had so much laughter, laughter, and heroic spirit.
cloud.
"Qingxu..." murmuring the missing person almost silently, Zhan Ting raised the wine jar and drank the few remaining sips of wine. When the wine jar fell to the ground, Zhan Ting's forehead was also pressed against the tombstone, feeling the
That coldness and ruthlessness that will never be warmed again.
You realize how precious you are only after you lose it, and you understand who is most important only after you are left in a lonely world. However, it is too late to regret everything.
The sound of dead branches being trampled and broken dissipated the sad atmosphere. Zhan Ting rubbed his eyes and looked back. Unsurprisingly, he saw the petite figure standing not far away, with sweat on his head and a few traces of dirt and rust on his face -
- Dutian Peak is a steep mountain. People who are good at martial arts can easily climb up by using Qinggong. Those who don't have any martial arts skills have to rely on the iron chains hanging from the top of the mountain to climb up. If they are not careful, their feet will slip and fall.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I ask you and Fu Chu to wait at the foot of the mountain?" Zhan Ting's tone was not cold, but sounded a little sad.
"Wait a minute, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and my senior brother and I thought you couldn't get the roots from your feet!" Ye Huawan said angrily, crossing his arms, "It's so annoying, one and two of them are like this. Since I got the spirit
Xijun, you and your senior brother both have serious looks on their faces, as if they have lost money. One of them is silent and the other is expressionless. Can’t you see that you are bullying me? You left me alone and no one cares about you!"
In the past, Ye Hua's late-maturing young lady would always be coaxed by Zhan Ting with a simple smile, but not today. In this kind of atmosphere and mood... He just wanted to talk quietly with Qiao Qingxu alone without being disturbed by anyone.
"You go down first, I'll go back later."
The obvious perfunctory tone naturally did not escape Ye Huawan's ears. She puffed up her cheeks. The childish girl thought for a moment with her hands on her hips, then suddenly rushed to sit on the ground in front of the tombstone.
"What are you doing? I still want to... Hey, hey! Didn't Fu Chu say that you are not allowed to drink?!" With brute force, he grabbed the wine jar that was picked up by Ye Huawan. Zhan Ting's expression suddenly changed, "Don't
What a fuss, can you stop being so willful!"
Ye Huawan jumped up from the ground, puffed up her chest, and faced the court with a sigh, not intending to give in at all: "What's wrong with being willful? Aunt Qingxu said that I can be willful! It's not like you, a grown man who still cries!"
"You - who said I cried! What do you know!" Zhan Ting quibbled, but the reddish complexion turned to one side and the softened tone had already revealed the truth, making him embarrassed. He stared at Ye Huawan.
With an expression of unwillingness to admit defeat, Zhan Ting gritted his teeth angrily: "Okay, if you don't leave, I'll leave!"
"Don't leave, don't leave! Will a grown man bully a child to vent his anger?!"
Turning around to start, Zhan Ting suddenly heard a groan from behind. Zhan Ting couldn't help but turn around, only to see Ye Huawan, who was about to rush up and grab her, squatting on the ground holding her ankles, groaning as if in great pain.
"...twisted your foot?" After a moment of stalemate, Zhan Ting was the first to surrender.
"I've twisted you! I've twisted you stupid, stubborn donkey!" Ye Huawan suddenly stood up, grabbed the stone at his feet and threw it towards Zhan Ting. He showed his teeth and claws and showed no signs of injury. Get along.
After such a long time, Zhan Ting had already figured out her weird, arrogant and willful character. He guessed that she was lying to disturb her pure heart and made him unhappy. He snorted and simply turned around and left.
"Aunt Qingxu, Aunt Qingxu, Ye Zi misses you, Brother Zhan is not good to me at all..." As they gradually drifted away, a faint choking sound came from behind, Zhan Ting felt sad, his steps stiffened, and he stopped.
In place.
The person Qiao Qingxu loves the most is Ye Huawan. He has always doted on her as a sister or even a daughter. Not to mention leaving her alone, Qiao Qingxu will get angry even if someone says something about Ye Huawan. But now, no more
Who else among relatives, Ye Huawan, can love her as much as Qiao Qingxu? Although Fu Chu is gentle, he is not the person who can take care of her for the rest of her life, and he is obviously not the same.
Zhan Ting continued to move forward at a stagnant pace. Zhan Ting couldn't tell if it was Qiao Qingxu's death that made him ruthless. He just felt that he might never fall in love with any woman again in his life, especially Ye Huawan.
When I see her, I always think of someone who is no longer here.
After descending from Dutian Peak and walking through a long and narrow mountain road, it was already getting dark when we returned to Qiaojiazhai. Zhan Ting did not disturb anyone. He walked into the stilted bamboo building that had been reserved for him for many years and sat alone until late at night, when he remembered that he was anxious.
knocking.
"Brother Zhan, are Ye Zi here with you?" Opening the door, Fu Chu's anxious face could not be concealed by the darkness outside.
Zhan Ting was slightly stunned: "Little Ye Zi didn't come back? I went down the mountain before her..."
The two of them were relatively silent. After taking a breath, they both ran towards Dutian Peak.
The night in the mountains is not like outside. There are no bright lights and no people walking around. Everywhere you look around is pitch black and dense woods. It is hard to tell where you are from east to west. Fu Chu was unusually silent while searching along the road.
, hurriedly walked in front of Zhan Ting without saying a word. Zhan Ting knew he was wrong and was embarrassed to speak. After the two of them walked through most of the mountain, Fu Chu slowed down and spoke calmly.
"Brother Zhan knows that Ye Zi likes you?"
"...I guess I know."
Even if he is quite clumsy about feelings, he will always notice if there is a girl around him all day long, chattering and blushing from time to time. Zhan Ting is just not sure whether Ye Huawan is dependent on him or what, but now Fu Chu asks bluntly, he can no longer
Pretending not to know.
"Little Ye Zi has liked many people, and every time it was just a whim like a child, but Brother Zhan is the only one who is sincere." Fu Chu stopped, his loose sleeves fluttering in the night wind, and looked back at Zhan Ting.
His eyes were extremely serious, "I dare not ask Brother Zhan to accept Xiao Zizi, but at least don't hurt her. If Brother Zhan wants to keep his heart for Aunt Qingxu for the rest of his life, then let Xiao Zizi know clearly and don't let her continue to have empty hopes."
"I...I will find a chance to explain it to her."
Fu Chu suddenly smiled, and when he turned around, a sad expression flashed across his face.
"Brother Zhan still doesn't understand women's hearts as before. He will only hurt people who like you one after another."
