It was quiet all around, with no frogs in the distance.
The Han family is located at the foot of Julu Mountain and by the Qiushui River. It is not prosperous, but the ancient atmosphere is felt.
Already full of food and wine, Tianyanhu and Leng Que were drunk, and Han Qiu no longer knew where he had gone.
There are sycamore trees in the courtyard and tables and chairs under the Wutong tree.
Everything is silent, there is no one around, and my heart at this moment seems to be empty.
After a day of turmoil, I can finally be clean. Gu Que likes to be clean, but also hates it.
I like it because purity can make people calm down, allow them to examine themselves clearly and make the most correct judgment.
Disgust is because purity always easily arouses a person's thoughts. Things hidden in a person's heart that are usually undiscoverable will overwhelm the river at night and keep coming up.
Gu Que slowly stretched out his hand and looked at the saggy back of his hand. The skin had already appeared cracks, dried up and stuck to the flesh, and the blood vessels were bulging. It looked extremely scary.
He slowly raised his hand and stroked his old face. The dense wrinkles on his face cut the skin into countless pieces, and he could no longer find a good piece of flesh. It should feel so rough to the touch, but he couldn't feel it with his own hands.
arrive.
The strong and full muscles of the past are gone, and the young face and long black hair seem to have disappeared in the long river of history.
From the day I left Chudu, my body has been aging step by step, muscles are shrinking, wrinkles are increasing, hair is turning white, and everything is withering.
Even the vitality cannot be restored.
Although this journey has been easy and pleasant, it seems like a whole lifetime has passed at this moment.
Perhaps in a month, I will completely lose consciousness, fall at the feet of fate, and then turn into loess, nourishing the earth.
Everyone will forget themselves and forget that there was a coffin-carrying man who provoked the gods by threatening death with bad luck. He once disemboweled his body and angered the sky to seize the dragon pill from the emperor.
Everything will die with death and with the passage of time, and gradually turn into bits and pieces of memory in the universe.
The cool breeze suddenly picked up, and there was already a chill in the night. A green leaf fell down, fluttering, and lay firmly on the ground.
Am I just like this fallen leaf, far from being killed by autumn, but already floating and falling?
There was a lamp in the distance, emitting dim light, and a figure was stretched out and appeared in front of Gu Que.
Gu Que did not look back, but slowly lowered his head, looking at the slender shadow, his eyes seemed to be blurred.
"It's night, why don't you sleep?"
A faint voice came, and the cool timbre made people's hearts suddenly feel tender.
Gu Que still didn't look back, just looked at the sycamore tree in front of him, and said slowly: "As people get older after all, time becomes more and more precious. It is natural to lament the shortness of fate and remember the past, so it is difficult to fall asleep."
Su Xue's face was expressionless, but there was a lingering sadness between her eyebrows. She whispered, "Are you looking at this sycamore tree?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
Gu Que said: "The palace is heavy, the soil is covered by stone slabs, and the surroundings are empty and silent, with only the cool breeze blowing in. It is alone, isolated here, and may be unbearably lonely. I am accompanying it just because it may be lonely."
Su Xue said slowly: "How long do you want to watch?"
Gu Que said: "Maybe for a moment, maybe for a night, when will the wind stop and when will I leave?"
Su Xue said: "I will leave when you leave."
Gu Que's figure was shocked and he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Why?"
Su Xue said quietly: "You stay with it because it may be lonely. I stay with you because I know you are lonely too."
Gu Que laughed twice but did not dare to speak.
The sound stopped, and the earth returned to silence, as if the air had solidified. The terrifying silence made Gu Que's heart feel extremely cold.
I don't know how long I have been silent. The wind has stopped several times, and a few leaves have fallen. Everything is so lonely.
Su Xue's voice suddenly came from behind: "How long are you going to keep this secret from me?"
Gu Que's body trembled suddenly, he suddenly turned around and looked at her in disbelief.
Su Xue stood on the cold floor, in the lonely courtyard, under the cool night breeze. Her white clothes were like snow, fluttering gently, revealing her graceful body. Her green hair fluttered, brushing against the white clothes,
Like an ethereal fairy.
There was no expression on her face, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and there seemed to be clear water rippling in her eyes. What was flowing was the tenderness that could not be dissolved no matter what.
Gu Que was about to melt away from this look, so he forced a straight face and said in a deep voice: "What did you say? I don't understand."
Su Xue looked gloomy and said quietly: "You pity Wutong for being lonely, but don't you pity Su Xue for being lonely? How cruel can you be that you don't want to recognize me?"
Gu Que's figure trembled greatly and he couldn't help but lower his head.
Su Xue said: "What do you think of Su Xue? Doesn't she have that much weight in your heart?"
Gu Que shook his head, speechless and choked. This sentence was like a knife, piercing deeply into his heart.
Su Xue suddenly moved!
She walked over step by step and said softly: "You are old, your hair is gray, and your face is full of wrinkles. Your back is no longer so straight, your edge is no longer so sharp, you have become introverted, everything is...
Like an old man. I should not have recognized you."
Speaking of this, Su Xue suddenly laughed and said softly: "But you can't disguise your eyes. An old man's eyes shouldn't be so young, shouldn't be so bright, and shouldn't be so gentle."
Her eyes suddenly turned red, and the crystal tears fell on the ground, making a soft sound, as if they were falling into Gu Que's heart.
Her voice became choked, and she suddenly said loudly: "You think I can't recognize you when you get older? Do you think I can't recognize you if you don't recognize me?"
She burst into tears, and her voice became gentle again, and she said quietly: "But the universe is endless and the world is vast. I, Suixue, have no father, no mother, no relatives, no friends, and live alone in the world. Who else would do this except you?
Protect me?"
"Besides you, who else cares about me so much?"
"Besides you, who else will stand in front of me and protect me from the wind and rain?"
Gu Que suddenly raised his head and looked at Su Xue with red eyes. He saw her thin figure and haggard look, standing right in front of him, looking at him tenderly.
The voice was right next to his ear, and he suddenly took a step forward, took her into his arms, and held her tightly.
Su Xue's body was soft and frail, just leaning against Gu Que, shedding tears silently.
She leaned on Gu Que's shoulder and said faintly: "I thought you really didn't recognize me. I'm just an orphan. After my master died, I no longer have any relatives. I'm not like Qing Ling or Han Qiu, except
You, I have nothing”
After hearing this, Gu Que felt extremely sad and filled with tenderness in her heart. He hugged her tightly and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "You will not be helpless. I will always stand by your side. Just in the daytime, listen to what you say."
You already have a husband, me"
Su Xue pushed Gu Que away violently, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and just looked at him.
Gu Que was stunned and looked at her pale face. Her watery eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of emotions.
So he understood instantly, everything became clear. Who is the so-called husband if he is not himself?
His heart was full of tenderness, and he suddenly took Su Xue's cheek and kissed it.
"Uh you you"
Su Xue struggled slightly, but Gu Que firmly held her in his arms, enjoying her moist and warm lips.
Su Xue let out a cry, as if all her strength had been drained, and fell into Gu Que's arms, letting him take whatever he wanted.
After a long time, the two separated. Su Xue raised her head and saw Gu Que looking at her. She couldn't help but blush, and she quickly lowered her head and buried it in his chest, refusing to get up.
She is a woman in her thirties, but her appearance is ageless. She is considered to be in her prime, but she is still so shy.
Gu Quee was so excited that he couldn't help but lift her chin and ask her to raise her head.
Su Xue's face turned red with embarrassment. After opening her eyes, she quickly closed them again. She wanted to lower her head, but Gu Que pinched her chin again. She was so anxious for a moment.
Gu Que said softly: "Look at me."
"You, what are you going to do?"
Su Xue murmured, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally opened her eyes. Her eyes were blurry, shy, gentle, and clear, making her index finger move.
Gu Que smiled and said softly: "Teacher Su Xue, you finally belong to me. From the first time we met outside the Shendu Academy, I thought you were so beautiful."
"Don't call me teacher, it sounds like "嘤咛"
Su Xue gasped for breath, her pretty face flushed, and she couldn't help but close her eyes. Her chest kept rising and falling, and the two towering cloud-like balls pressed against Gu Que's chest, making him feel hot all over.
So he held Su Xue's chin, looked at her blushing face and slightly parted lips, and kissed her again.
"Hmm"
Su Xue trembled all over and couldn't help but fall softly into his arms.
However, they never noticed that a slender gray figure was standing in the corner, looking at them blankly.
Han Qiu's eyes widened, and he suddenly clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in a low voice and saying: "Really, what kind of place do you think my Han family is?"
She frowned, turned and left, and couldn't help but murmured: "I really don't know the meaning of this kind of thing, and I don't know what to do. Have you forgotten what you came to Wanli Grand Canyon for?"
As she walked forward, her figure suddenly stopped, and she couldn't help but turn back slowly, frowning and saying, "Is it really that fun?"
"Of course!"
A huge head suddenly fell from above and rushed into Han Qiu's sight. It grinned widely and stared with big eyes, which startled Han Qiu.
She took two steps back, quickly glanced at Gu Que and the two, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw no reaction.
Then suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes, and an invisible energy had already sealed the mouth of the Sky-Eyed Tiger. He grabbed the tiger skin behind his back with his right hand, and his figure immediately flew up, dodged through the courtyards, and threw him to the ground.
Without saying a word, he clenched his fists and started punching!
The Sky-Eyed Tiger was beating in pain, but it couldn't scream, and couldn't help but look at Han Qiu with tears in its eyes.
Han Qiu was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "I asked you to come out and scare me!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but wave her fists and hit them hard.
Tired of beating him, he finally let go of the half-dead Sky-Eyed Tiger and gasped: "Tell me! What did you see?"
The Sky-Eyed Tiger said quickly: "I didn't see anything. I slept all night and didn't go out at all."
"That's pretty much it!"
Han Qiu snorted coldly and walked away.
Tianyanhu looked at Han Qiu's back and suddenly cried out: "Wow! What did I do wrong?" (To be continued)
