After drinking countless bowls of wine, the scenery in Zhou Jun's eyes became increasingly blurry.
Huayue seemed to be fine, sitting by the desk, slowly drinking from the bowl.
Zhou Jun burped and said to Hua Yue: "This is the first time I know that your drinking capacity is so good."
Hua Yue saw Zhou Jun's eyes were misty, put down the bowl, and suddenly asked: "Erlang, where are you from?"
Zhou Jun shook his head and replied doubtfully: "Where? What where?"
Huayue: "Let me ask another question, where did you learn from those...knowledge you know?"
Drunk, Zhou Jun tried his best to stay awake and just said: "It's just a book."
Huayue shook her head, was silent for a moment, and then said: "Erlang, I have listened to your words and seen your actions. You must have seen a lot, heard a lot, and seen a world that others will never be able to match."
Huge sleepiness came over him one after another. Zhou Jun felt that his body was getting heavier and heavier, and the whole world was getting further and further away.
Huayue stood up, walked to Zhou Jun, leaned into the latter's ear, and asked softly: "You were brought here, haven't you ever thought about why?"
Zhou Jun's consciousness was blurred by the alcohol, and he gradually fell towards the desk.
In a daze, Zhou Jun heard Hua Yue's question and just said something subconsciously: "I was living a good life, but I was sent into this world inexplicably. I don't know why..."
Hearing Zhou Jun's words, Hua Yue's body froze there, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses.
She slowly walked back to her seat and sat down as if she was lost.
Just listen to her whispering to herself: "I knew it."
After a long time, Huayue looked at Zhou Jun, who was lying on the table and was drunk, and slowly recited: "God has indeed shown mercy to the believers, because He once sent a messenger of the same race among them to treat them
He recited his signs and educated them, teaching them the Book and wisdom, since before they had been in obvious error.”
After reading this passage, Hua Yue sighed and whispered: "Everything is determined by fate."
Zhou Jun, who was so drunk that he was confused, even murmured in his sleep: "You have a really good drinking capacity."
Huayue looked at Zhou Jun and smiled.
"Fool, next time before you compete with someone for a drink, remember to check whether the other person's jar is wine or water..."
On the morning of the second day, Zhou Jun woke up from a hangover.
Shaking his groggy head, Zhou Jun tried to recall what happened last night.
Not long after, Hua Yue, fully dressed, entered his room and asked, "Are you awake?"
Seeing Hua Yue's expression as usual, Zhou Jun couldn't help but ask: "Are all big cannibals as good at drinking as you?"
Huayue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zhou Jun, who rarely saw Huayue's smile, looked at him and was stunned for a moment.
Huayue quickly put away her smile and said, "Breakfast has been brought. Come out to eat quickly."
Zhou Jun responded, shook his head vigorously, and struggled to get up from the bed.
When he came to the hall and saw the porridge and cakes on the table, Zhou Jun said mockingly: "You are gone today. I have to go to the dining room to eat tomorrow's breakfast by myself."
Huayue glanced at him and said, "Then you can ask me to stay."
Zhou Jun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, sat down, picked up the cake, and started eating breakfast.
Huayue looked at Zhou Jun, bit her lip, and said no more.
After breakfast, Zhou Jun went out to look at the sky, then came back and said to Hua Yue: "It's almost time, we can set off."
Huayue packed her luggage in the small room, moved slowly, and finally looked back at her room.
After leaving the small room, Hua Yue saw Zhou Jun stopped by the door, seemingly waiting for her to set off.
Feeling angry in her heart, Hua Yue took her luggage and walked out of the hall angrily.
Zhou Jun looked on confusedly.
Why is this girl so angry?
The two of them walked all the way to the gate of Bieyuan. Zhou Jun greeted the concierge and took Hua Yue on the road to Chang'an.
When riding a horse and passing by the fire-mud road, Zhou Jun looked at the solid road under the horse's hooves and said with emotion: "Without your help, I'm afraid this place would still be a quagmire."
Huayue grabbed Zhou Jun's clothes with both hands and said in a voice that only she could hear: "You obviously know that I am very important..."
After riding up to the official road, Zhou Jun kept chattering on the horse: "The money bag is filled with loose money so that it can be used at any time on the road. And inside the underskirt, I asked Chun Niang to help sew the crotch."
"Inside the inner crotch, I put some golden branches. The Western Regions are no better than Gyeonggi Province. Gold is sometimes more useful than copper."
Hua Yue said nothing, but held her hand tighter.
We rode into Chunming Gate, then followed Chunming Street, heading west.
When the two passed by the West Market, Zhou Jun looked at the excitement in the city and said to Hua Yue behind the horse: "Do you remember that Xu Hezi? When you return to Dashi, remember to tell the people there that there are still people in Datang
Such a singer whose reputation is known throughout the world."
Huayue thought of that day when she was riding on Zhou Jun's shoulders. She unconsciously put her head on the back of the person in front of her and slowly closed her eyes.
Finally, the two of them arrived at the Jinguang Gate in the west of Chang'an City.
The caravan going to the Western Regions can be seen as far as the eye can see, and they are making final preparations outside the door.
Zhou Jun got off the horse and helped Hua Yue down.
Looking back at the caravan not far away, Zhou Jun said again: "Remember to hold the article in your hand."
"The shopkeeper of Partridge Mountain Travel is an old acquaintance of mine. If you need anything on your way west, you can find him."
Huayue took her luggage and asked Zhou Jun, "I'm leaving soon. Don't you have anything else to say?"
Zhou Jun stood there, looking at Hua Yue's face, and raised his hand unconsciously.
After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Jun finally put down his hand and just said: "After you reunite with your family, remember to write a letter to say you are safe."
Huayue stared into Zhou Jun's eyes, and when he saw that he was silent, she said bitterly: "You still owe me one thing."
Zhou Jun remembered the agreement, nodded and said: "Whatever you want, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to do it."
Huayue said in a deep voice: "I want you to stand here, not allowed to go anywhere, and just watch the caravan leave Chang'an!"
Zhou Jun was surprised and said: "Is this what you want?"
Huayue: "Yes, stand here and watch me leave. This is what I ask for!"
Zhou Jun sighed and just nodded slightly.
Huayue turned around angrily and walked towards the caravan without looking back.
Standing at the city gate, Zhou Jun watched helplessly as the caravan packed up all the goods and ordered all the accompanying people.
Accompanied by a long horn sound, the caravan heading to the Western Regions moved slowly and finally embarked on its journey westward.
Huayue still left.
With these words echoing in his mind, Zhou Jun's hands and feet were as heavy as a ton of weight, and he stood frozen on the spot, unable to move.
Watching the caravan go further and further, and finally disappear on the official road, Zhou Jun was drained of all his strength in an instant, and slowly sat on the ground leaning against a tree.
Zhou Jun stared at the ground and sighed heavily.
At this moment, a pair of moon-green cloud-head shoes stopped in Zhou Jun's sight.
With disbelief in his eyes, Zhou Jun slowly raised his head and saw Hua Yue's pretty face.
Huayue looked down at Zhou Jun and asked, "What are you sighing for?"
Zhou Jun was startled and quickly got up from the ground, asking: "Why are you back?"
Huayue Hengmei said: "Don't want to see me? Then I'm leaving."
Without thinking, Zhou Jun took hold of Hua Yue with one quick step.
Lowering his head and looking at Zhou Jun's hand, Hua Yue raised his head again and said, "What do you want to say?"
Zhou Jun took a long breath and said, "Stay."
After Huayue heard this, her body trembled and she asked again: "Why didn't you say it just now?"
Zhou Jun: "You haven't seen your relatives for a long time. If I asked you to stay, it would be too selfish..."
Seeing Huayue's expression of confusion, Zhou Jun shook his head and just said: "I won't go into details about the reasons. All you need to know is that I hope you stay."
Hua Yue looked at Zhou Jun, but she laughed and said softly: "It would have been better if I had said this earlier."
She straightened her skirt, performed the Wan Fu bow towards Zhou Jun, and said, "The road ahead is long. Thanks to my husband for not giving up, Hua Yue is going to bother me again."
