She opened her fingers slightly, stopped Guan Jinyu, who was bloodless from vomiting blood, and wanted to come to help her, shook her head and said, "I'm fine."

Immediately, he got up and took Guan Jinyu's hand, and knelt down in front of the six grassy graves.

"Master, five uncles, do you like the daughter-in-law I brought back for you?"

"If you don't talk, I'll take it as you guys like it."

Her smile was as gentle as ever, she turned her head and said to Guan Jinyu, "Kowtow, meet my family."

The two kowtowed three times in front of the grave, Guan Jinyu let go of Xue Liyi's hand, kowtowed again, then looked directly at the lonely tombstone, and said seriously: "Please rest assured, master and uncle, I will take care of you for you." Take care of Xiaoyi."

Xue Liyi knelt beside her, and suddenly hugged her, suppressing a muffled sob-like sound in his throat, and the wind passing through the forest, it was extraordinarily sad.

Guan Jinyu really didn't know what to say to comfort her, any words were superfluous, so he raised his arms to wrap her around her, gently patted her back with one hand, and kissed her temples and cheeks with his lips.

As the dusk fell, Xue Liyi withdrew from her arms, her eyes were slightly red, and her face still had no trace of tears. She calmly led Guan Jinyu away from the green bamboo forest that was gradually getting colder, and returned to her residence. Useable pots and pans are washed out.

"Everything that could be eaten in the past is probably broken now. I'm going to hunt some wild game, but I don't know if there are any wild animals here. It might be unsafe." Xue Liyi pulled out a long sword and a dagger from the room, The sword was not rusted, it was still cutting iron like mud. She handed the dagger to Guan Jinyu for self-defense, and said, "Jinyu, follow me."

She was obviously still the same person from before, the woman who felt a little strange when she first met, but at this moment she was completely integrated into this ancient mountain forest, the woman carrying a long sword under the moon, her side face was dyed with a layer of hazy moonlight, It was like a cage of clouds and smoke, and she couldn't see clearly for a while, which made her feel like time had flown back.

But this is not 1000 years ago after all, they know it better than anyone else.

It was completely dark, but the moonlight was bright enough to illuminate the road between the dense mountains and forests. In some places where the moonlight could not penetrate, the two of them walked more carefully. Liang, but held tightly, as if afraid that she would disappear, every time the strength was so strong that it almost made her feel pain, the hand would loosen and start the next cycle.

Guan Jinyu's heart seemed to be pricked by countless small needles. She tossed and turned, her heart ached uncontrollably. She opened her mouth, but her words were too weak at this moment, so she turned her hand over and placed her fingertips on the back of Xue Liyi's hand Gently, constantly rubbing.

Xue Liyi paused for a moment, turned to look at her, turned his back to the moonlight, maybe showed a smile, and then continued to walk forward.

But Guan Jinyu didn't want to see her smile, even if she was crying, it was better than forcing a smile.

When the moon was in the middle of the sky, Guan Jinyu felt that the forest was coming to an end, Xue Liyi stopped, ears moved slightly, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and with the sound of piercing through the sky, he aimed steadily towards the depths of the darkness Throwing it ruthlessly, the thing stopped moving without even making a sound.

is a rabbit.

One after another, two more pheasants were quickly caught, which can be regarded as a rewarding return.

Watching Xue Liyi skillfully remove the fur of the prey, disembowel and clean the internal organs, then strung it on the long sword, and put it on the fire. Is there no prey in the forest ahead, or Xue Liyi wants to go all the way to the end of the forest.

Xue Liyi sprinkled a few grains of salt on it, turned the roasted golden brown and oily rabbit over, cut off the hind leg with a dagger and handed it to Guan Jinyu.

"It's delicious." Guan Jinyu took a bite and said.

"Thank you." Xue Liyi replied politely, and Guan Jinyu greeted him with a slap in the face.

"Who made you talk like that?"

Xue Liyi looked at her, feeling a little inexplicably wronged.

"I'm scared of you, call back." Guan Jinyu took her clean hand and pressed it on his forehead.

"Don't hit." She withdrew her hand, turned her head away, and said, "It's my fault."

"My fault," Guan Jinyu pushed her back, put his face against hers, and rubbed gently.

Xue Liyi smiled, with fair cheeks and dark eyes reflecting the fire, as if she was taken in by him a long time ago, holding the "History of Song Dynasty" in his hand.

——Smiling so warmly and silently.

"Jinyu." She called softly.

"Ok?"

Xue Liyi didn't look at her, his eyes fell to the far-reaching night, "I love you."

"I know."

"I love you."

"I know."

Xue Liyi turned around and leaned against her arms, repeating it over and over again, Guan Jinyu answered her over and over again, and Xue Liyi's speech became faster and faster in the end, repeating mechanically, and did not give Guan Jinyu time to answer , seems to be venting something.

She said she was tired and fell silent, closing her eyes to rest.

"I just went out for a long trip, why are they gone when I come back?" she asked.

Guan Jinyu rubbed her long hair and kissed her forehead: "Listen to the mountain wind, it's the voice they left behind. They are saying to me, 'We left Xiaoyi to you, you must cherish her, but don't worry Don't let her down.'"

"Seven chattering old men, noisy and noisy," Guan Jinyu also closed her eyes, with a smile on her lips, "Did you hear that?"

"heard it."

"They may not be able to accompany you anymore, but they will always look at you from the sky. If there is wind, then maybe they are talking to you. If there is rain, then maybe they are mad at you for being naughty."

Xue Liyi burst out laughing, and wiped away tears: "Nonsense, I'm not naughty, it's all their fun."

"Okay, okay, if it rains, it's because they are being naughty."

"What if there is a sun?"

"If there is the sun, if there is the sun, it means that they are living well in the sky, so you don't need to worry about it."

Xue Liyi fell silent again, and the evening wind blew her long hair, lingering around Guan Jinyu's fingertips.

"Jinyu." After a while, she tugged on Guan Jinyu's sleeve and called softly.

Guan Jinyu teased her: "Huh? You love me? I already knew this, but I don't mind if you say it a few more times."

"Hate."

"Yes, what you say is what you say."

"Come down," Xue Liyi grabbed her shirt collar directly, "I want to kiss you."

"If you tell me to bow my head, I will bow my head. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?" Guan Jinyu deliberately raised her neck and looked at her from top to bottom.

"Guan Jin..."

The slightly annoyed voice was silenced by a kiss with a smile. In the dark night, there is nothing more wonderful than this.

"Thank you."

Guan Jinyu lifted her up and let her sink into her arms: "For the sake of you saying you love me so many times just now, I won't pursue it with you this time."

"The dust in the house is too thick. I'm afraid I won't be able to clean it up tonight. I'm afraid I'll let you sleep in the wilderness. I'm sorry."

Guan Jinyu snorted and said, "Because you love me so much, I will forgive you this time."

"But bathing is still possible. There is a small waterfall two miles away. Although it is summer, the water is still a bit cold. The conditions are simple. Don't be surprised."

Guan Jinyu: "Did you do it on purpose?"

Xue Liyi slipped out of her arms as if fleeing, and found the two people's changes of clothes in the backpack, smiling like flowers: "I'll take you to the small waterfall."

Guan Jinyu: "I can't walk."

Xue Liyi: "I didn't intend to let you go. It's too slow to walk over. It's getting late, and I have to get up early tomorrow to clean up the house. You choose whether to carry it or hug it."

Guan Jinyu put his arms around her neck and smiled sweetly: "Hug."

***

Xue Liyi had a dream that night.

In the dream, when she was at the beginning of babbling, she moved forward step by step with a small stool in her hand. There were stones on the ground, and she stumbled and fell to the ground. The front was cleaned cleanly, not even a gravel.

Then they stood in a row, lined up in a horizontal line, each of them thought they were benevolent, but actually smiled maliciously: "My dear little clothes, come to Master (uncle)."

The milk doll whose teeth were not fully opened pouted, and suddenly burst into tears.

A group of old men looked at each other in dismay, and began to accuse each other. Lingxiu Mao came out of the crowd and hugged the child, and the baby immediately stopped crying by grabbing his white eyebrows.

"Lingxiu, your mother, put the child down for me!"

"If you don't let me go, don't let me go, hit me if you have the ability!" Lingxiu ran away.

In the end, he was caught and gave the six brothers a fat beating.

Guan Jinyu didn't sleep all night, looked at Xue Liyi without blinking, suddenly saw her laugh out loud, and then cried until her face was covered with tears, and she sighed inwardly.

When she got up the next day, Xue Liyi's eyes were a little red and swollen from crying. Guan Jinyu lowered her head and kissed her, boasting, "It's so beautiful."

Xue Liyi smiled embarrassedly, but there was no longer any haze on his face.

The three houses were cleaned and looked completely new. The two lived here, carrying water and chopping firewood every day, fishing in the river, hunting in the forest, sleeping next to each other at night.

On the day of leaving, Xue Liyi locked all the doors and only took away the small box carved with willow wood and so on.

She turned her head and glanced at the mountain forest shrouded in the red-orange morning glow, sleeping like a day for thousands of years, exceptionally quiet and peaceful.

Guan Jinyu looked up at the sky and said, "Today is sunny."

It's sunny, so they must be doing well up there, right?
