I promise

Chapter 158

The stone road twists and turns.

Mu Dianke lay on Chang Qianfo's back, greedily absorbing the short-lived warmth, and only hoped that this road could continue without end.

Chang Qianfo didn't speak either.The two chose to remain silent at the same time as if they were connected.

No words, but more than a thousand words.

The road is long but short, as if it will end in a moment.

The passage up to the ground is a mechanical road, which is unfathomably deep and pitch black without reaching the top.Several thumb-thick iron locks hang down from an invisible height, connected to a four-foot-square stone hanging basket, which can accommodate dozens of people.

Chang Qianfo jumped into the hanging basket with Mu Dian on his back and activated the mechanism.

The hanging basket rises steadily and slowly.

Mu Dianke saw that there were three notches on the circular valve on the stone basket, and Chang Qianfo only screwed to the first notch, which meant that he chose the slowest speed.

Mu Dian didn't point it out.

Chang Qianfo also knew that she knew.

The two tacitly followed the stone basket and slowly ascended.The wind in the passage was mixed with a smell of old rust, and it fell on the two of them wet and cool.

The two were in a pothole, surrounded by only cold wind.But imitating clothes and being in the sea of ​​flowers, the spring breeze hits people.The earthy smell of iron is like the fragrance of flowers.

Chang Qianfo asked, "Are you cold?"

Mu Dianke shook his head, then smiled: "You only wear one piece, even if I'm cold, you don't have many clothes for me."

Chang Qianfo said: "I can protect you from the wind."

Mu Dianke said: "No need, this is very good." She leaned on Chang Qianfo's back, looked up, only to see the boundless darkness above her head, and asked: "This underground stone chamber is the only one. export?"

Chang Qianfo said: "Not only. It's just that Rong Yi crossed out the other exits, and only let me see this one."

No wonder Chang Qianfo said that Jin Yanchen stayed outside to restrict Rong Yi, if the only exit was blocked by Rong Yi, it would be difficult to get out.

While speaking, Chang Qianfo leaned left and right, trying to protect her from the wind.

Mu Dianke asked again: "Are you cold?"

Chang Qianfo said: "It's not cold. I'm not cold when you're here."

Mu Dianke's heart throbbed for a moment, dizziness appeared on his face, the corners of his mouth turned up unconsciously, and he pressed his face against Chang Qianfo's back, and asked softly: "Chang Qianfo, a good person like you, There must be many women yearning for you, right?"

Chang Qianfo's shoulders trembled, and he smiled uncontrollably: "You also think I'm a very good person?"

Mu Dianke was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing with a "puchi", and said, "I've never seen you so boastful."

Chang Qianfo said: "I really can't answer the question you asked. I can't pay attention to whether other girls are interested in me every day, can I?"

"Then you really can't see it? Like...like Yan Ling?"

Chang Qianfo said: "I'm sorry about Yan Ling's matter. I won't let such a thing happen again." After a pause, he continued: "I remember a sentence in the "Book of Songs", although it is like a cloud, the bandits I want to save. So there is no need to pay attention to this kind of thing, because there is no difference between more or less."

When he said this, there was some sadness in his voice.

Mu Dian could hear the loneliness in his words, and also fell silent.

Chang Qianfo smiled, and said: "I'll tell you one thing, don't laugh at me. Grandpa once wanted me to marry Xiaoxiao, and even prepared the dowry. But Xiaoxiao refused desperately. Let everyone go to Grandpa to intercede, that’s all.”

Mu Dianke asked in surprise, "Why?"

What a blessing it is to be able to marry Changqian Buddha as his wife.Why is Li Ting's family unwilling?

Although Chang Qianfo's heart was gloomy, he was happy to hear her reaction, and said: "Probably because Xiaoxiao has regarded me as her elder brother since she was a child. It may also be possible that everyone's eyes are different, and I'm not the good person in her heart." stop?"

"Then are you sad?"

Chang Qianfo laughed: "There's nothing to be sad about. For me at that time, it didn't make much difference who I married as my wife. I only knew that I should treat my wife better in the future. As for that person Who hasn't thought about it."

Knowing that it was not appropriate to ask, Mu Dian couldn't help asking: "What about now?"

"It's different now." Chang Qianfo said: "Three thousand weak waters, I only care about drinking one ladle."

Mu Dian felt that he had never been so contradictory. He neither wanted such an answer, but secretly hoped that he would answer it in this way.After being silent for a while, he said: "One day, you will forget this ladle of water. There is no unshakable mountain in the world, and there is no heart that cannot be cooled. Just treat it as this ladle of water. She doesn't know good or bad, and has let you down. Be careful."

Chang Qianfo said: "Do you really want me to forget you?"

"Ah."

"But I don't want to." Chang Qianfo said: "I know, you have a lot of concerns. There are too many obstacles between us. I still say that, as long as you are willing. Dianke, as long as you nod, I am willing to open up mountains for you."

There is only the sound of wind.

Chang Qianfo said: "You don't need to answer me now, just remember what I said today. What I said to you can be counted at any time."

The stone basket stopped, and there was a short step in front of it.It was less than a foot away from the ground, and people's voices could be vaguely heard from the ground.

Mu Dianke said, "Let me down."

Chang Qianfo thought it was because she didn't want to be seen by Jin Yanchen, so he didn't insist, let her fall to the ground, and took the torch from her hand.

Mu Dianke looked down at his feet, his long eyelashes rolled down, casting a thick shadow in his eyes, a little sad.Said: "I didn't hear what you just said, and you didn't say it. He has nothing but me, so I won't leave, and you don't waste time for me."

He took out the curved sickle from his sleeve, cut off a strand of black silk, tied it into a bundle, and said: "Once, I lost my way in the desert and strayed into a nomad who lived in the north of the desert. There is a very special custom there. , no matter men or women, if they receive a great kindness from someone, they will cut off a lock of their hair and give it to that person. It means that the hair falls and regenerates, the kindness is endless, and I will always be grateful for the kindness of that person. You saved me today, I I will remember it in my heart forever. I also hope that you will not dislike it."

Chang Qianfo took the blue silk from Mu Dianke's hand, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What's the name of the nomad you mentioned?"

Mu Dianke thought for a while and said, "It's called the Ziwu tribe."

"Which Ziwu?"

"The son of Confucius, the crow of the Golden Crow." Mu Dianke thought about it for a while, and then said, "This nation has been influenced by Sinology, but the Sinicization is not thorough, so the names they choose are a bit strange."

Chang Qianfo smiled: "It's a bit weird, but it sounds pretty good."

He took out a brocade bag from his bosom and put the lock of hair in it.There was a thin piece of hard object in the brocade bag, and a corner was exposed when the bag was opened. It was Li Xiaoxiao's bookmark from Mu Dianke when he went to visit Yunjiazhuang.

Mu Dian didn't expect Chang Qianfo to carry this bookmark with him, glanced at it, and quickly lowered his head.The corners of the eyes are sore.

Chang Qianfo looked at the bookmark for a while, and said: "Smile and say, you carved this bookmark yourself and gave it to me. That girl, how can I not know her, she probably forced you to go Bar?"

Mu Dianke said: "If you like this bookmark, I will make another one for you later."

Chang Qianfo looked up at her for a moment, then said with a smile, "Okay." Putting the brocade bag in his arms, he said, "You gave me this hair yourself, and I will keep it safe."

The two compartments stood facing each other, each silent.Finally, Chang Qianfo broke the silence: "Let's go, I'll take you up."

Mu Dian nodded.

Chang Qianfo took Mu Dianke's shoulders, flew across the stone steps, and when he was about to get out of the ground, he let go of his hand. Mu Dianke stepped out of the ground first, turned around and took her hand, and with a little force, lifted her out of the tunnel Come.

The sky was bright, and Mu Dianke had just come out of the dimly lit basement when he felt a blur in front of his eyes.

When he saw the situation on the ground clearly, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.
