under one roof

"Cough...cough..."

It was dusk and evening, and there was no trace of human habitation in the canyon, only unknown birds chirping and jumping from the dead branches on one side to the dead branches on the other.Before landing, he was frightened by a violent cough and quickly flapped his wings and flew away.The winter in the north is cold. At this time, the branches of the trees can be broken if touched, but it is different in the south.Although it is wet and cold, the green and yellowing leaves seem to be unwilling to leave. They can stick to the branches, leaving some color in the abyss.

Not too lonely, not too unkind.

"Yu Chen...Yu Chen..." Yang Jian took a lot of effort to push away the broken branches and leaves on his body. Although he lost his power, his physical body is still extraordinary.He remembered that when he fell, he hugged Yu Chen in his arms, and all he could see was mud and rocks like huge waves.He thought it was really going to be a disaster this time, but the dense branches along the way not only slowed their gravity, but also blocked the swallowing of the soil.After finally waking up, he patted Yu Chen's face and shouted, "Wake up!"

Yang Jian sniffed Yu Chen's breath, he was not dead, maybe he was knocked unconscious for a while and couldn't wake up.He stood up and looked around. The surrounding mountains were steep and there was no way out.The bottom of the valley is winding and winding, with weeds and rocks blocking most of the line of sight, and you can't see the end at a glance.Seeing that the sky was going to get dark, Yang Jian couldn't think of a better idea for a while, so he could only pick up Yu Chen from the ground and put it on his shoulders to see if there was a place to take refuge temporarily.

There is no unparalleled road, and he really asked him to find a small cave, enough for the two of them to shelter from the wind and rain.Yu Chen didn't wake up, and he couldn't walk away, so he could only stare blankly.The sun was gradually setting, and the valley was covered with black coats, and the temperature began to drop, which was terribly wet and cold.

Yang Jian touched Yu Chen's body, and thanks to his habit of smoking, he could find a lighter with the cigarette case in his pocket.He just found some useful dry branches and piled them up near the entrance of the cave, and after a while a small flame lit up the cave.

He turned around and looked at Yu Chen, but he still didn't wake up.

"Hey..." Yang Jian had no choice but to turn Yu Chen upside down, pointed his thumb at his middle and pressed hard, Yu Chen suddenly moved, opened his eyes after a while, and screamed in pain.

"Yang Jian, you murdered!" He covered his mouth and rolled on the ground, "It hurts me to death..."

"I wanted to wait for you to wake up naturally." Yang Jian said with a smile, "but it looks like I'm not so lucky. I'm afraid you'll sleep until the next century, so that's the only way to go. Does it hurt?"

"Nonsense!" Yu Chen said, "My tears are about to fall!" He was tired and sleepy, and he fell from such a high cliff, even if Yang Jian was a human cushion for him, he still hit the ground. It's not light, and he instinctively doesn't want to wake up.At night, he had become a little conscious, and when Yang Jian came out like this again, the pain became even worse.

Yu Chen didn't want to argue with Yang Jian, he shook his head to look around and asked, "Where is this place?"

"Amnesia?" Yang Jian knocked on Yu Chen's head, "We both fell off the cliff, and now we are at the bottom of a valley where no shit can happen."

Yu Chen remembered what happened before, he paused, and then asked: "Are there still many people on that road at that time?"

"Yes, there is a long queue."

"Then they..."

Yang Jian took a deep breath and said, "Don't ask, don't even think about it."

Yu Chen lowered his head, then shook his head again.

"Let's think about how to leave this ghost place first." Yang Jian looked at the moonlight outside, half of his face was cold, and half of his face was warmed by the bonfire. He frowned slightly, his expression was a little fuzzy, and then he sighed heavily Take a breath.

"Don't you have anything to do?" Yu Chen said, "You and Monkey King don't have any way to contact them?"

Yang Jian shook his head and said, "So there was, but now I'm afraid it won't work anymore."

Yu Chen said: "Ao Lie said that when I am in trouble, just call his name and he will come, I will call him." He tremblingly got up from the ground, walked out of the cave, and shouted to the sky: " Ao Lie! Come and save me quickly! Ao Lie!"

The echoes rippled away layer by layer like water waves, and finally disappeared completely. There was no shadow of Ao Lie anywhere.Furious, he ran back and said to Yang Jian, "Ao Lie is teasing me."

Yang Jian said, "Maybe there is a delay."

Yu Chen laughed dryly "hehe" twice, and said, "You really know how to tell bad jokes."

"if not?"

Yu Chen wandered around in the cave for two times, his body hurts, and he only reacted now, but it's lucky that he didn't break a bone.He sat back on the ground after the detour, and said, "Will I die of hunger and thirst here before I am saved?"

Yang Jian said, "You said it yourself."

Yu Chen didn't seem to be very worried, he took out a crumpled cigarette from the cigarette case and straightened it, lit it on the campfire, took a deep breath, and sighed: "Then I have to smoke a cigarette first to calm down."

Yang Jian sat back beside him and said, "But you can rest well tonight."

"Yes." Yu Chen blew a smoke ring, "It's been a long time since I've been so quiet, and I haven't seen such a clean night sky for a long time. It's unbelievable that there are still stars. Hmm...except for the colder temperature The ground is a bit harder, but everything else is pretty good."

"Start making fun of yourself now?"

"Otherwise? There is nothing you can do while crying? Now that this is the case, let's take a step. Hey, the moonlight is so good."

Yang Jian also raised his head, looked at the moon, and said, "Yes, the moonlight is so beautiful."

Yu Chen asked: "Is there really Chang'e on the moon? Is Guanghan Palace very cold? Will she be lonely in her own life?"

"Why do you have to be lonely?" Yang Jian said, "Guanghan Palace is a city full of silvery moonlight, bright and bright like diamonds, and there are many people living there, not to mention the many Chang'e, Taiyin Xingjun himself is enough to save a lifetime." The play is over, where does the loneliness come from?"

"Wait, Guanghan Palace doesn't belong to Chang'e? Who is Taiyin Xingjun?" Yu Chen asked.

Yang Jian said: "Taiyin Xingjun is the highest official of Guanghan Palace. Chang'e is just the collective name of his staff. There are many fairies in Chang'e. Who do you want to find? Taiyin Xingjun... I think he is quite funny." , Maybe it was because Guanghan Palace was too boring in the early years, so I was determined to do something funny. He is also the head of the Tianting Song and Dance Troupe. Didn’t you launch a satellite on the moon decades ago? And Yutu , after you don’t want it, Taiyin Xingjun took it back and dismantled it to play with, and he made a little metal rabbit, which is still on the bookcase.”

"...You guys... are very boring."

Yang Jian explored: "Indeed, there are a lot of boring things. The sky is like that every day, year after year. If you don't find something to do yourself, how will you survive?"

Yu Chen asked: "What about you?"

"Me? I live in the human world all year round." Yang Jian said, "If there is no special transfer order, I don't need to go back to the top."

Yu Chen asked with interest: "Do you think the world is more fun or the sky is more fun? After thousands of years, have you never thought of picking up girls in the world?"

"No." Yang Jian said, "No need."

"Oh..." It might be that this topic is too subtle, and Yu Chen also felt that it was not a good question, so he said, "Why don't you tell me about the things in the sky, or your things are fine, I will I haven't heard you mention it. What is the sky like?"

Yang Jian recalled it carefully, and said: "Tiangong is a huge city floating outside the earth. If it is too obscure, you can understand it as an alien planet. There are also high-rise buildings there, but they are different from yours. The materials are different. It's something you can't name."

"Will there be clouds?" Yu Chen asked curiously, "I always look like riding clouds and fog in TV dramas."

"No." Yang Jian said, "The clouds are all imagined by you. It is just a city cast by mana. Some people will ascend to the sky, but they may not have a fairy job. It is likely that they simply live in it and become a huge machine. A tiny part of it."

"Since it's so boring, don't you all want to change?" Yu Chen said, "And I feel that you don't seem to have any emotion about the things in the sky, so why do you bother to think about saving the universe?"

Yang Jian said: "It has always been like this, and there have been no problems. Why should I change? I really don't have any feelings for the world in the sky, but there are always right and wrong in this world, and this has nothing to do with emotions. And It's what I need to do."

"Then you are really a little fighter for justice." Yu Chen waved his hand, "But I think this is pretty good now, although I don't know if I will burp, but at least for a second... it is really me It’s been the most peaceful moment in this period of time. Ah, how good would it be like this forever? You can’t go back to the sky, just like the little fairy who fell into the mortal world in the novel, and then I tied her back to give birth to a child. From then on you How nice it is to plow the fields and weave cloth."

"You are also good at telling bad jokes." Yang Jian laughed.

"No, no, no, where is my joke? I have more information than you said." Yu Chen said, "Do you know the amount of information? In our concept, the content of any sentence can be quantified Yes. For example..." He rolled his eyes, as if thinking of something serious, "For example, 'Yang Jian has a one-thousandth chance of getting pregnant tomorrow morning', so how much information does this sentence have?"

Yang Jian asked with interest: "How old is it?"

Yu Chen got excited and said: "It's probably ten bits. Actually, the calculation is very simple. It is the reciprocal of the probability and then the logarithm to the base of two. The result is ten bits. Although you may be pregnant It will be quite explosive news, but to me, it’s just like ten bits.” He also deliberately pinched his fingers to compare, meaning that it is very little, so little that it is insignificant.

"Really?" Yang Jian deepened his smile, and said to Yu Chen, "If you want, I can immediately make you pregnant, and I don't need your strange calculation method."

"No." Yu Chen stepped back and refused, "The time for cold jokes is over, stop now."

Yang Jian said: "Just kidding, it's just fairy magic, not to mention I don't have any magic power now, why are you so nervous?"

"Then you...you..." Yu Chen couldn't help asking again, "Will you get married and reproduce?"

Yang Jian shook his head: "No. If you can't get rid of low-level tastes, how can you become a fairy?"

"But isn't there also a family relationship in the mythology, such as the Jade Emperor's daughters and sisters who moved their hearts to find a man?" Yu Chen defended, "It's written like this in the stories."

"But I have already said that is your story." Yang Jian said helplessly, "Because you have feelings, you will think that the gods who are imagined by you also have such social and family relationships. But you have to know, once the gods If you have feelings, you will not be able to survive in the Heavenly Palace, and you will not be able to become a god again. This logic will not change."

"Then you..." Yu Chen paused, then changed his words, "Where's your mother?"

"Her?" Yang Jian was silent.

Yu Chen lowered his head and said, "Should I not ask so many questions?"

"It's probably an accident." Yang Jian only replied, and didn't say any more.What is he going to say?Those things happened thousands of years ago, and his memory is very vague.He didn't bother to mention those stories that had been fabricated by people for many years—after all, they were nothing worth talking about.People like to have their own fantasies, and he didn't have to tell a mortal about it on such a tragic night.

"Hi!" Yu Chen sighed heavily, trying to relieve the tense and dry atmosphere.He threw the cigarette butt into the fire, and the filter tip made a crackling sound when it was lit. He got up and patted the dirt on his body, and said, "Pee and sleep, this place where the birds don't shit really doesn't even have entertainment. No, sleep and sleep!" Said and ran outside.

Yang Jian shouted: "Don't run too far!"

"understood!"

Apart from the lack of entertainment, the place that Yu Chen called "a place that doesn't shit" is actually worse than he imagined.After nightfall, the temperature dropped suddenly. Even with a bonfire, it was still unbearably cold and humid.Yu Chen was so sleepy in the middle of the night that he couldn't open his eyes, he could only curl up his body and lay on his side on the ground, with one hand under his head and the other in his chest to keep warm, and he would change his position after a while.

Yang Jian didn't need to rest, he just sat on the side with his eyes closed and rested, and he was on guard all night.He opened his eyes and watched Yu Chen making trouble for a long time, then reached out his hand to touch Yu Chen's nose, it was cold.He secretly smiled and said, "Why are you like a dog?" He took off his coat and covered Yu Chen.

His movement woke up Yu Chen, and Yu Chen said vaguely: "Can I sleep with you..."

"cold?"

"En." Yu Chen nodded subconsciously, "My brain hurts from freezing, it's too cold."

Yang Jian said, "You can lie on me."

Yu Chen hurriedly crawled over with hands and feet, really nestled in Yang Jian's arms like a puppy, found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.Yang Jian has human body temperature, although it is not like a fire, but it also brings a little warmth in such a cold night.After all, Yu Chen was able to sleep a little more soundly than before.

He sat like this until the coldest moment before dawn, the bonfire gradually burned out, and he had no more branches to add, so he could only move Yu Chen a little bit away.Yu Chen fell asleep and didn't feel anything, so Yang Jian felt relieved and went out of the cave to pick up branches.Yu Chen, who lost his warm embrace, woke up, because there was a lot of fire, and the cave became darker, and the sky was still dark.He rubbed his eyes and figured out where he was, and when he figured it out, he sat on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Yang Jian was gone.

He whispered, "Yang Jian?"

No one answered.

"Yang Jian!" He raised his voice and got up from the ground, "Where are you! Don't leave me alone! You...you come back quickly! I won't make you angry anymore...I won't Ask questions that shouldn't be asked...don't lose me..."

He yelled and startled Yang Jian who was not far away. Yang Jian ran back, saw Yu Chen's dumbfounded expression, and quickly asked, "Why are you awake?"

Seeing Yang Jian appearing, Yu Chen didn't think about anything, threw himself on Yang Jian, hugged him, and kissed him.
