"You said you wanted to watch the sunrise together."

"Yes. Tomorrow must be a fine weather, and the sunrise must be beautiful."

"Then let's go, go to that mountain, sit on that rock and wait for the sunrise."

We took the last ray of light before the dark night, carried a shotgun, hugged a blanket, and carried a lantern, across the stream, through the woods, up the cliff, and along the ridge to the top of the mountain.

There is a kind of sacredness and anticipation in my heart, and a hint of reserved joy. We didn't caress or kiss each other. It was strange. We just hugged and sat on the rock, wrapped the two together in a blanket, and warmed each other with our bodies. .

"I'm sorry, Zhao, I haven't brought you to see the sunrise."

"Isn't it here now? When was the last time?"

"May [-]th, your birthday."

"Yes, what about today? We watched the sunrise together again. What day is today?"

"What day?"

"Did you really forget? Today is August 28, [-], your [-]th birthday."

"Really?" I was a little surprised.I have not forgotten that August [-]th is my birthday, but in this isolated mountain, in this happy and uneasy honeymoon, I refuse to know the specific date.

"How nice. Both of our birthdays start with watching the sunrise together."

"Will it happen in the future?"

"Yes, I believe it will. In the future, we will watch the sunrise together, many, many times."

"I mean birthday."

"We'll have many birthdays together..."

I snuggled up to him, dejected.

"Today is the sixth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh month, which is the Chinese Qixi Festival."

"About what?"

"This is a very old legend. A long, long time ago, there was a boy herding cattle. His parents died early. His elder brother and sister-in-law treated him badly. Only an old cow accompanied him. On that day, the cowherd went to the lake to herd cattle. , I met a group of beautiful fairies bathing and playing in the lake. The Cowherd was stunned and forgot to avoid them. The fairies found the Cowherd and ran away in panic, but the Weaver Girl did not leave. They fell in love at first sight. The Weaver Girl stayed in the world Married to the Cowherd. After marriage, the man farmed and the woman weaved, loved each other, and lived a happy life. The Weaver Girl also gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Cowherd. Later, when the old cow was about to die, she told the Cowherd to take its hide Stay and put it on in times of emergency. After the old cow died, the couple reluctantly peeled off the cowhide and buried the cow on the hillside.

"Later, the Jade Emperor and the Empress Dowager found out about the marriage between Weaver Girl and Cowherd. They were furious and ordered the God of Heaven to capture Weaver Girl back from the lower realm. The God of Heaven took Weaver Girl away when Cowherd was not at home. Cowherd went home Seeing the Weaver Girl, she hurriedly put on cowhide, picked up the two children with a pole, and chased them. Seeing that she was about to catch up, the Queen Mother pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and swiped it. A turbulent Milky Way appeared in front of the Cowherd, and the Cowherd could not get through it. Since then, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can only look at each other across the river. Forever and ever, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother were moved by their true feelings and allowed them to meet once a year on July [-]th. Therefore, every July [-]th, the magpies in the world will fly to the sky Go, build a magpie bridge for Cowherd and Weaver Girl on the Milky Way.”

"Then Qixi Festival is a day for lovers to get together?"

"Yes."

"They still get together once a year. What about us?"

"So will we. Listen, Marty, the war will end, no matter how long it takes, it will end. When it's over, I'll come back to you. You wait for me, and you must wait for me. Then we will be together every day and watch the sunrise every day.”

Standing on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, we saw a huge landscape painting in front of us. The layers of vast mountains are the undulating ripples in it, with faint echoes produced by the huge uplift of the earth's crust.The mountains are stacked, lightly smudged, like ripples with gradually blurred textures, and the outlines intertwined with lead gray and dark green are coated with a layer of warm and bright brilliance by the rising sun.We clasped our hands and faced the rising, fiery red sun.

"I, Fu Zhao. I trust, look forward to, and deeply love Matthias von Meissenbach with my life."

I glanced at him and he was waiting patiently, confident, determined, perfect.

"I, Matthias von Meissenbach. I trust, look forward to and deeply love Fu Zhao with my life."

"Please let the newborn sun prove to us, let the golden light of the sun spread over our bodies, let us be free from the persecution of the enemy, and lead us into peace and tranquility. Let our mutual love be a seal on the soul, a cloak on the shoulders, And the crown upon the brow. Blessed be our separation and our reunion, our sleep and our waking, our joy and our sorrow, our life and our death."

"Most merciful God, have mercy on me and the man I love in this world for which your only Son gave his life. Free us from our enemies, and lead us into peace and peace. Let us be with each other His love is a seal on the heart, a cloak on the shoulders, and a crown on the brow. Bless us in our parting and in our reunion, in our sleep and in our waking, in our joy and sorrow, in our life and in our death."

Zhao gently held my face, and pressed a hot kiss on my lips. "Happy birthday, my love."

My happiness at this moment cannot be expressed in words. This is the most precious birthday gift I have ever received.

"this is for you."

besides? !There were so many surprises that I was a little overwhelmed.It was the briar wood pipe that I had always wanted to see, but Zhao had hidden it. He polished and carved the pipe every day in order to temper his fractured fingers.

"That one, you carved it yourself?"

"Yes, I have nothing to give you, only this."

"You have sent me too much."

I put the pipe in the corner of my mouth.Zhao looked at me and shook his head.

"how?"

"so cool!"

"cool?"

"cool!"

We looked at each other and smiled, so happy that we wanted to cry.

"I will hold it every day from now on, and hold it in my mouth all the time."

"Don't smoke too much."

"You can hold it even if you don't smoke it. Look, I hold it like this." I turned the pipe to the front, made a gesture, took it off, and put Zhao's lips in my mouth. "It feels like kissing you like this."

We kissed so lingeringly, so tenderly, so emotionally.

Zhao folded the blanket.

I took the pipe and played it carefully. It was smooth, delicate, round and delicate, and I couldn't put it down. "Why didn't you bring shredded tobacco, you know I'm so hungry."

"Be patient, Joseph must have shredded tobacco."

"Joseph? What? Will he come?"

"Yeah, it's agreed that he will pick us up today."

"Today? You mean..."

Zhao heard that my voice was wrong, so he put down the blanket and hugged me. "Marty, today is your birthday, everyone wants to celebrate for you, Madam will make a birthday cake for you, and I will make longevity noodles for you..."

"No! No!" I shook my head desperately.

"Marty! You've got to go back. There's a lot going on at the estate. And, if you don't report back to the camp, they'll think you're a deserter."

"But...but it's too short... You said this is our honeymoon, but it's less than three days! Less than three days!" I yelled, almost collapsed, completely unprepared.

Zhao hugged me tightly and kissed my dew-wet hair to calm me down. "Listen, Marty, no matter how much time we have, we'll never be enough, we'll never be ready, it's hard, it's really hard. But, Marty, it's a blessing, We can't be too greedy. We are here, and we won't feel at ease when we think of the war outside and our relatives worrying about us." Zhao raised my wrist and looked at his watch. "Joseph won't arrive until noon, we still have a little time."

"What are you doing?" I looked at him confusedly, the flames of pain, passion, and love were burning in the dark, deep eyes.

"We still have time, time to love again, to have each other again." Zhao supported my back, kissed my lips, and freed the other hand to unbutton my shirt.

"Here?" I hesitated a bit, the protruding and exposed rocks under my feet were the highest peaks in this group of mountains, the place closest to the sun.

"Yes, right here, here we are making love. Let the newborn sun bear witness for us, let the golden light of the sun spread all over us, let time stand still, let love last forever, let this moment be eternal."

Tears flow down our cheeks into each other's mouths, we are naked, we are lingering to death... Let the newborn sun bear witness for us, let the golden light of the sun spread all over our bodies, let time stand still, let love last forever, let this moment be eternal .
