Ye Xiaochuan sat on the sand dune and drank. This time he was not facing the Yumen Pass in the east, but facing the Red Feather Army camp in the south.
The scene of two million troops stationed there is very spectacular.
If ten people are crammed into one tent, 200,000 tents would be needed.
This does not include the mountains of military supplies.
After night falls, countless bonfires flicker like stars in the sky. If you look around, you can't see the edges at a glance.
Ye Xiaochuan was not drinking alone. There was a black clay pot next to him. Aba's head poked out of the pot, and his old and thin cheeks were a little rosy at the moment.
He was very proud, and Ye Xiaochuan would pour him a bowl of wine after calling Aba Aba a few times.
A big shot like Ye Xiaochuan was able to take the trouble to pour the wine himself, and the other person was a cripple in a jar that was worse than a mortal. If others saw it, their jaws would definitely drop.
Over the years, Ye Xiaochuan has never disliked Abba.
Not only him, Qin's concubine, Yu Linglong, and Dugu Changfeng also never disliked him, and they never felt that Aba was a burden.
Even though the old naughty boy Wang Keke, who was careless with Aba all day long and kicked Aba's jar with his foot from time to time, would still feed him himself.
Over the years, in their small team, Abba seems to have already integrated in and become a part of them.
Ye Xiaochuan often sits and drinks with Aba like tonight.
It's just that Aba's drinking capacity is much worse than that of Ye Xiaochuan. Under normal circumstances, he would drink until his face turns red and his neck becomes thick, and then he would curl up in the jar and fall asleep.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Abba, did Yang Juaner say something to you yesterday?"
A trace of surprise flashed in Aba's eyes, and he lowered his head silently.
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Did she say that to you?"
Aba shook his head, and the surprise in his eyes suddenly turned into pain.
Ye Xiaochuan sighed softly and said: "You know, I know, Yang Juaner knows, everyone knows, if she said those words to you, you would not be able to survive.
She wants you to live, so she won't say those words.
In fact, although Yang Juaner didn't say it, I can tell that her life has not been satisfactory over the years.
She may keep you because you can remind her of the past.
Don't wait for her to say that to you, live well, and every day you can live is a day."
Ye Xiaochuan's words are very strange.
But Aba was not surprised. He seemed to understand.
Aba's body is withering and his vitality is weakening. Due to living in a jar all year round and Yang Juan'er's torture to him, he has almost reached the point where he is exhausted.
He already felt that his time was running out.
The reason why he didn't die was not because of how strong his belief in survival was, but because he was waiting for Yang Juan'er's words.
That sentence only has five words.
Only when those five words came, could he close his eyes without any worries.
But Yang Juaner just didn't say anything.
Except for Dugu Changfeng, everyone else is aware of Aba's physical condition.
Everyone knows the reason why he is still alive today.
Qin Guichen finished her work and silently walked to sit next to Ye Xiaochuan.
Abba seemed drunk at the moment, but also seemed to be very sensible, and silently retracted his head into the jar.
Qin's girlfriend asked Chang Feng and Tian Yu Pili, who were playing at the door of the inn, to carry Aba back to the house.
After Aba was taken away by Dugu Changfeng, Qin Guichen said softly: "I heard it in the kitchen just now, Zongci, why did you tell Aba this?
I still don’t understand the relationship between Yang Juaner and him, but I can see that he lives in pain."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "I don't know why I told him this. Maybe in my heart, I already regard him as my friend."
Qin's girlfriend said: "Maybe we are closer than friends."
Ye Xiaochuan glanced at Qin Guichen, and then closed his eyes with a complicated expression.
Qin Guichen hesitated for a long time, and finally slowly reached out and grabbed Ye Xiaochuan's hand.
She said: "You are the most special man I have ever met. There has never been a master of cultivation who is willing to make friends with a mortal, and he is also a mortal with severe disabilities."
Ye Xiaochuan said calmly: "There is no distinction between high and low. In my opinion, there is no difference between them, whether they are high-minded cultivators who claim to be gods or peddlers who have no cultivation."
Qin Guichen said: "That's why I say you are the most special man. In the eyes of other cultivators, the difference between them and mortals is like heaven and earth, black and white, two different worlds.
The heaven and the earth are unkind and regard all things as mutt dogs. The saints are unkind and regard the common people as mutt dogs.
People in the world often talk about this sentence, but there are very few people who can actually do it.
All people are born equal, but human hearts are unequal. Human hearts are big and complex, with desires and ambitions, so there are also status classes.
However, you treat all things equally, without distinction or racial differences.
Many people in the world used to say that you would become the savior of the three worlds like the Wood God, but I never believed it.
In recent years, after spending time with you, I have gradually come to believe it.
What the savior possesses is definitely not his personal cultivation strength, but his universal heart.
In the Three Realms, there are not many people who have a universal heart."
Faced with the praise from Qin's boudoir, Ye Xiaochuan did not feel any joy or pride.
He just sighed.
In the past, he always had an evil smile on his face.
Now, he is always sighing.
Qin Guichen gently leaned her head on Ye Xiaochuan's shoulder.
He said: "I know that our peaceful life is about to pass, and the road ahead will be very difficult. However, no matter how difficult it is, I will be with you, and no matter how dangerous it is, I will face it together with you.
"
Ye Xiaochuan gently reached out and hugged Qin Guichen's shoulders.
This was the first time they were alone together since the last time they kissed.
Looking at the thousands of bonfires in front of them and the thousands of stars above their heads, they both fell into silence.
Their hearts have never been so close.
I don't know how long it took.
Ye Xiaochuan said softly: "My dear friend, there is one thing I must tell you. I have a wife, not Xiaoyou."
Qin's girlfriend said: "You told me before that she was a girl from Xiaolou.
In fact, I used to be quite envious of Xiaolou. I thought countless times how great it would have been if I had been by your side, taking care of you and comforting you.
Later I figured it out, this is fate, it is destined that when you are at your weakest, the kind-hearted girl from Xiaolou will be by your side.
If you have the opportunity in the future, you can find Xiaolou, and I am willing to accompany you and take care of you with her until you grow old and die..."
