The next day, I woke up and saw Yinfeng sitting in the house. There was a bowl of steaming medicinal soup on the table in front of him. I could already smell the strong smell of herbs.
"Girl, don't worry. It's just a slight movement of fetal gas. After drinking this bowl of medicine, it will be fine."
When he saw me waking up, Yinfeng walked to my bedside with medicine in hand.
I slowly sat up and drank the bowl of bitter medicinal soup in one gulp.
"What time is it?"
"It's already noon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and then, a sheet of white clothes came into view.
Guichen walked in with a tray, then took out several steaming plates from the tray and placed them on the table. Suddenly, the smell of herbs in the room was filled with the smell of mortal cooked food.
"You're going to be a mother, but you don't know how to take care of yourself. It's really stupid." He placed another box on the table. "The other three pills you want, I won't give them to you." After saying that, he took the tray.
Left the room.
Yinfeng smiled silently and said to me: "He went to the mortal town early in the morning, presumably to prepare these meals for you."
I looked at the few plates of side dishes, and suddenly I felt empty. So I got up from the bed and walked to the table, sat down and picked up the chopsticks. Then I looked at the box that should contain two monsters. If there were any
As I was thinking about it, I forgot to pick up the vegetables for a moment.
"Girl, there are some things I still want to mention to the girl."
I picked up the food on one of the plates and took a bite. It was delicious and warm, and it tasted like it had just come out of the pot.
"He and I are not qualified to talk about love and hatred, but the origin and end of the world are beyond our control. Just like the friendship between Huan En and I, and like the friendship between Yun Niang and me..." At this moment,
There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in his tone, but he adjusted his mood and continued, "He has always been very arrogant and disdainful of everything. Back then, I couldn't bear the loneliness in the valley, so I went out on impulse.
Wandering around, he is the only one who always stays here. In fact, I also know that he has shouldered the responsibilities that should have been shared by both of us, but in his heart, why is he not lonely? And why is he not yearning for the outside world? Until
...He met you.
"I already noticed the difference when I met him again in Suining Town. Every time you and that Meng Shaoxia left, he would unconsciously look at your back. Even if he said cold words to you every time,
But after you left, you would think about those words of ridicule for a long time, and even forgot that I was still sitting there watching him.
"This time I stayed in the valley while he went out to look for the Sealed Pearl. Unexpectedly, he sneaked into the God Realm alone and got injured. I only found out yesterday that he was actually trying to find out your life experience."
I swallowed another mouthful of food, but the hand holding the chopsticks stayed where it was.
"Immortal Hidden Wind, you told me this... because you want to..."
"Girl, don't worry. After tomorrow, we will no longer exist. I just want the girl to know his little thoughts. At least, it can leave some mark on our existence."
After saying that, Yinfeng also took out a short white Xiao. This Xiao seemed to be somewhat similar to Guichen's Forbidden Xiao, but it was shorter and more delicate.
"I made this Xiao with a piece of psychic jade as the base. I collected the spiritual energy left by Gui Chen in the valley and injected it into it. In other words, it can be regarded as a spiritual object. I want to give it to the girl.
Maybe one day, this Xiao will be able to cultivate a spirit. This spirit will also be melted with a trace of Guichen's aura, so let it protect the girl instead of Guichen. Guichen doesn't know about this, and the girl just thinks everything is as usual.
That’s good.”
Yinfeng put the short Xiao on the table, smiled politely at me, and then exited the door carrying the empty medicine bowl.
I stared at the short straw, picked up the food on the plate and took a few bites. I felt my eyes were a little hot. Maybe it was because the food was spicy.
This day passed extremely peacefully. Since lunch, Guichen and Hidden Wind had not been here. I took a break and handed the demon spirit to Hua Niao. Although she was happy, she did not leave immediately. And then
, no one came to disturb us anymore, everyone seemed to be silently waiting for the arrival of tomorrow.
I was alone, and it was inevitable that my mind was once again flooded with complicated thoughts. I was either standing or sitting, or taking a few leisurely steps outside the door, or leaning on the bed and taking a nap. I don’t know why.
It's already night.
A feeling of sleepiness came over me, but I still couldn't fall asleep.
Then, the door opened. Guichen still carried a tray and walked in. The dishes in the tray were still smelling hot, and the delicious smell immediately filled the room.
When he saw me leaning on the bed again, he deliberately kept silent. He just put the side dishes on the table, told me to eat them while they were hot, and was about to turn around and leave.
"The immortal stays!" I stopped him when he was about to open the door.
He stopped and turned slightly to look at me. I got up from the bed and walked to the table.
"The immortal worked so hard to bring me these delicious dishes, why don't you have the honor to have a meal with me?"
"No, I have practiced the art of fasting, so there is no need to eat."
Although he said that, he didn't mean to open the door and leave. I smiled, walked around to his side, took out the chair, looked at him and said, "Really? Then I would be really surprised. If the immortal really didn't eat
How can you buy such delicious side dishes in one go compared to the food of mortals? That’s right, immortals have the ability to predict the future, right?”
Guichen had his usual angry look when his noble appearance was exposed, but after that, he still came over and sat on the chair I had set for him.
I stood opposite him, raised my hand gently, and there was an emerald green porcelain pot in my palm.
"This is the drunken flower wine I specially asked A Nian to buy from the town just now. It can be regarded as a thank you to the immortal for carefully preparing the meal for me."
After that, I waved my hand again and two wine glasses appeared on the table, and then I filled them with wine.
I picked up the wine glass first and raised it: "I heard that many mortals like to have a drink while enjoying the scenery or gatherings. The scenery in this valley is wonderful. How about we follow the example of mortals and have a drink together?"
He looked at me with a strange expression, then unexpectedly took the wine glass from my hand and complained: "How can you drink with your body?"
But after he finished speaking, he drank both glasses of wine in one gulp, without any trace of his aloof and immortal appearance. Moreover, looking at the skillful way he raised his hands and raised his head, he drank it all in one gulp.
It was my first time drinking alcohol.
After two glasses of wine, in order to pour a cup of tea, he took the wine bottle from me, filled one of the empty wine glasses, then conjured up a pair of bowls and chopsticks, picked up the food from one of the plates, and ate it.
One bite.
"Immortal, can you lend me your Forbidden Xiao? After tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see such a magic weapon again."
Hearing my request, he hesitated, but he still stretched out his hand to activate his spiritual power, and a long green thorn was already in his hand.
He looked at me again with a complicated expression, and finally handed Xiao to me, then raised another glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.
I looked at the Xiao carefully and gently stroked it from top to bottom with my hand.
"Is this Cang Li's former partner Xiao?"
Guichen might have heard my question and was a little surprised, but he immediately said: "Mrs. Aoki made this for Lord Cangli herself."
"A Xiao and a stone are also related to love. Maybe he never thought that the Xiao and jade pendant he was wearing actually saved his life in the end."
I held Chang Xiao tightly, but a delicate carving knife had already appeared in my other hand.
"what you do!?"
Guichen finally couldn't sit still any longer. He placed the wine glass heavily on the table and stood up.
"Don't move! Otherwise, I will crush this Xiao!"
He frowned and stared at me.
I slowly picked up the carving knife and carefully carved the word "Gui Chen" on one end of Xiao.
Then, I gently blew away the fragments of jade, handed Chang Xiao to Guichen again, and then said to him with a smile: "In this way, even if he survives, he will always remember that you gave him a chance to be reborn.
.It’s a pity that I can’t engrave his name on Yinfeng’s jade pendant.”
Guichen lost his mind for a moment and took Chang Xiao dully. I stood up and picked it up for him, then brought it to him and looked at him with a smile.
"Don't worry, Xiao is already in your hands. How dare I destroy the fairy so easily!"
He slowly sat down, took the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.
In this way, we finished our last supper in a leisurely manner, and the bottle of wine was also empty. Late at night, Guichen packed up the dinner plates and left the room with a bit of drunkenness, leaving only a full house.
The silence and loneliness. I lay back on the bed and fell asleep unconsciously.
"Cang Li... Cang Li... you are finally back... don't abandon me again..."
"Zhuo'er, I'm back and I won't leave again."
In the emotion imposed by another consciousness, I woke up suddenly, feeling a slight headache and a slight dizziness.
I don't know when the gauze curtain beside the bed was half lowered, blurring a lot of sight. I slowly sat up and found that it was already light. What time was it? I just thought that I should quickly meet up with A Nian and the others and go there.
We were near a stream, but when I raised my eyes again, my body froze completely.
At this moment, the figure sitting at the table with his back to me... my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and I seemed... to have missed something.
I tried hard to recall whether a certain memory was missing or the memory was confused. But the next moment, that person had turned around and stared at me unabashedly, with infinite tenderness in his eyes, but I knew,
That tenderness, more than anything, is not for me.
Cang Li, he is indeed back.
"You're awake, Yinluo."
When I saw him, I just felt like my mind was filled with something, and something wanted to burst out. So, I just felt extremely confused, and I was speechless for a moment. I just watched him walk to my bed and let him sit down.
Beside me, his hands wrapped around my shoulders.
At this moment, a strong warmth spread throughout my body. I knew that this feeling was definitely not mine, but I was unable to resist, so I silently accepted it.
"I'm not Taku Aoki."
After a long time, I suddenly lowered my head and said this sentence with great effort. I obviously felt a tension in my shoulders, but then I heard his voice.
"You are Yinluo, not Zhuoer. I know."
"That engagement...I don't want to be a substitute."
"I know."
But he didn't mean to take his hand away from my shoulder.
"I am...pregnant, and the father of the child is...a mortal."
"I know."
I was suddenly a little anxious, because I didn't know what I wanted to express, but I didn't have the courage to really break away from his arms.
In anxiety, he hugged me tighter.
"Takuer is an indelible love in my heart, but it is also an unforgettable pain. But you are different. You and she have the same appearance, and her blood flows in your body, but you are you, Yinluo, not Taku Aoki.
I never wanted to use you as a substitute."
I couldn't understand what he said. What I had expected happened still happened. I didn't know how to face Cang Li's real resurrection, or even why I got into the situation of resurrecting him.
The buried memories of forty years of facing each other day and night in the Demon Realm all came out again at this time, filling my mind and making me very painful. Even though there was not much communication and interaction, there was not much
The ups and downs and experiences, but it was forty years after all! In those days, all my joys, anger, sorrows and joys were only directed at one person, and all my eyes could only be placed on one person. It seemed that it had become a habit
.The image of this person has been deeply imprinted in my memory. Even though it is not the kind of remembrance that relies on emotion, I still cannot face it calmly at this moment.
"what's on your mind?"
He finally let go of his hand on my shoulder, then turned to sit facing me and cast his unobstructed gaze on me.
"I……"
At this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the door.
Cang Li tilted his head, his expression a little serious, but when he turned to look at me again, he was as gentle as before.
"I know your concerns and some of your emotions. I can't distinguish them clearly myself. But this time, you really helped me, so I can't ignore you. Just rest first and don't think too much. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Cang Li stood up, opened the door and walked out of the room.
