On a sunny day, Bai Ling and Shangguan Yu said goodbye to their families and set out on the road. As a couple walking together, no matter where they go, they will feel the warmth of home.
This was the first time that the two of them went on a trip without any distractions.
"Traveling around the world and enjoying the world, life is so happy!" Bai Ling lay on the boat, supporting her head with one hand and holding a sweet grass in her mouth. She was full of expectations for the next journey.
After careful calculation, the couple had been away from home for more than a month.
In the past month or so, they have visited many places, experienced different customs and customs, and walked through every piece of land.
Bai Ling caught thieves, beat up bullies, rescued several girls who unfortunately fell into prostitution but refused to give in, and even sent lost naughty children home...
Of course, the main force doing these things is Shangguan Yu.
"As long as you have Ling'er as your companion, your husband will feel at ease and happy." Shangguan Yu supported Bamboo Hao with a gentle tone, and looked at Bai Ling with tenderness in his eyes.
At this moment, the ice and snow melted away, leaving only the warm sunshine of April in the world.
Bai Ling chuckled, "Shangguan, why are you getting more and more numb?"
Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Ling, "What? Ling'er doesn't like it?"
"Cough...cough..." Bai Ling suddenly sat up, holding his chest and said, "Hi...I like it, I really like it!"
"As long as Ling'er likes it." Shangguan Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly and said in his heart, "Jiang is still hotter when he is old."
Last time, he and Bai Ling passed by a small town, where there was an old couple selling brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. The old couple were both over seventy years old, but their love for each other remained undiminished, and their attachment to each other was evident in every move they made.
Anyone who sees him can't help but praise him a few times.
Shangguan Yu could tell that Bai Ling was very envious of the relationship between the old couple.
Later, he secretly asked the old man for advice. The old man only said one sentence, "Woman, you have to coax you to come. Men, don't take yourself too seriously. If you don't treat your own woman well, how could you do it?"
Say sweet words to irrelevant people?"
Since then, Shangguan Yu would say something that surprised Bai Ling from time to time.
Fortunately it was just the two of them, otherwise how many singles would have cried?
"Fish, Shangguan, there are fish in this lake!" Bai Ling has good eyesight. When she saw the plump carp swimming in the lake, she once again wanted to catch fish.
It is the season when the flowers are red, the willows are green, the grass is growing and the orioles are flying, and the fish in the lake are also growing very well, making it very suitable for offering sacrifices to the five internal organs temple.
Eating fish is not a big deal, the key is the fun of fishing.
"Okay, let's eat fish today." Shangguan Yu said, getting ready to catch fish.
Bai Ling looked forward to it and said, "Okay, okay, right, this fish is so smart, it went to the right!"
The two of them started working together and splashed around in the water for a long time, but they still couldn't catch the fish.
"Good guy, isn't it a sperm? I think back then, I was the top fish catcher in Nanshan Village. Is it because I haven't practiced fishing for a long time, or is it too smart?" Bai Ling was eager to try, "No way.
, I have to catch it today!"
Following the fish, they had rowed a long way.
I don’t know whether it’s because of the change in weather or some other reason, but the further we go, the colder we feel.
This feeling happened step by step, seeping in bit by bit. By the time they realized it, it was already very cold.
"Shangguan, do you feel very cold?" Bai Ling's teeth chattered a little. She crossed her arms tightly and looked around cautiously.
Under the nourishment of the spiritual spring water, Shangguan Yu's physical condition is getting better and better. Even in winter, he will not feel too cold.
"It's a bit cold, but the scenery around here has not changed. The vegetation is still there, and the lake is still clear." Shangguan Yu looked around thoughtfully. He took off his robe and put it on Bai Ling's body.
Looking around, there was no one. The trees around were lush and endless.
It seems a little unreal.
Further into the lake, where is the fish just now?
The lake water is crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, which makes people want to take a sip and taste it.
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. We'd better not eat fish anymore. Let's leave this strange place quickly!" Bai Ling frowned, her heartbeat was beating fast, she always felt that something was going to happen.
The world is vast, and there are many unknown things in this world. If you try to understand them forcefully, you may lose more than you gain.
Especially since there is no human habitation here, not even the chirping of birds, animals and insects.
Thinking of this, Bai Ling couldn't help but shudder. They had experienced many hardships and escaped from death many times. Whether it was a dilemma or a disaster, they could all be seen with a pair of eyes. The unknown is the scariest thing, it is invisible.
It will amplify the fear.
"There are no living things here." The two of them looked at each other and came to this conclusion.
Perhaps affected by the surrounding environment, Bai Ling gradually felt that her head was a little confused. She couldn't concentrate at all, and she couldn't enter the space.
Shangguan Yu held Bai Ling's hand, held her in his arms, and whispered softly into her ear, "Close your eyes, don't think about anything, we'll leave right away."
Just as they were about to turn around and leave, they suddenly heard a "plop" sound, as if something fell into the water.
Looking up, Bai Ling saw a five or six-year-old child standing on the shore. He was throwing stones into the lake with his mouth pouting, looking very unhappy.
"Where did this little guy come from?" Bai Ling looked at the child. She felt very surprised. There was obviously no living thing here...
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the little guy on the shore was just an ordinary doll, very lively and energetic.
Everything seems to have become normal.
"Big brother, big sister, you must not touch the water here. You can't drink this water, you will die if you drink it." The little guy also noticed the two of them, waved his hands and shouted towards them.
Sure enough, there is something wrong with this lake.
As soon as the little guy finished speaking, he picked up a handful of water and started drinking it.
It seems... very delicious.
"This kid is very problematic. Look at the way he drinks water, as if he can never get enough." Shangguan Yu kept staring at the little guy, his brows furrowed and his eyes a little cold.
Just as he said, the little guy on the shore has been drinking water. Bai Ling counted it and it was already the seventh time.
He doesn't look like he's going to stop yet...
As he walked around, the jade pendant around Bai Ling's waist slipped to the ground without warning, and rolled into the lake almost instantly.
"No, this jade pendant was given to me by my mother. She said it is an ancestral treasure of your family and will be passed down from generation to generation..." Bai Ling was so anxious that she pretended to go to the lake to look for the jade pendant. (To be completed.)
