Young wife Li, she won again

Chapter 234
After several people ate dry food, they began to appreciate the surrounding scenery.

"I always feel that Master will be disappointed." Situ Xing whispered while cupping his face.

This time, he finally understood the old way, and didn't make such a big deal out of it.

"Hush!" Su Qingyue raised her index finger.

At this time, a golden light has appeared in the east, gradually floating on the surface of the misty sea in the distance.

The mist gradually became thinner, like white quicksand flowing quietly in the air.

The trees on the mountain and the isolated peaks in the distance all become clear with the sunrise.

When human beings are immersed in nature, they will realize how small they are.

The air here is clear and enters the spleen, inhaled into the lungs, and it feels like it has been purified from the inside out.

Su Qingyue got up, stretched her body with her hands behind her back, and indulged in this beautiful scenery obsessively.

The old man leaned against the stone, squinted his eyes wide open, and looked into the distance.

His gaze seemed to go back to 50 years ago through the misty mountains and sea of ​​clouds...

The old-fashioned expression is serene and full of warmth.

Su Qingyue didn't know what he was thinking, but she felt intuitively that it must be the happiest period of time for him, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about it so much for so many years.

As time passed, the sun had completely jumped out of the sea.

The mountain peaks began to become sharp and angular, and the light and shadow quickly changed in the shadows of trees and clouds, making people feel more and more mysterious.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon in the blink of an eye.

The three kept looking into the distance, but found nothing.

Situ Xing ran to catch a wild rabbit, cleaned it up in twos and threes, and took it under the tree to roast.

"It smells so good, Sister Su, this is for you to eat!" The little fox greeted very affectionately.

"Thank you, I'll just eat dry food." Su Qingyue said.

She broke the cake into small pieces with her hands and put it in her mouth to chew slowly.

Obviously what he ate was coarse grains, but in the eyes of the little fox, that posture was more refined than delicacies from mountains and seas.

"Sister Su is so strange, she eats that kind of tasteless big pancake without meat!" Situ Xing muttered.

"Eat it!" Su Qingyue smiled without explaining anything.

She is really particular about what she eats, and she feels unwell when she smells some things, let alone trying them.

Situ Xing was not polite either, he tore off his leg and handed it to the old Taoist.

"Here, eat something, don't wait for someone, you will be hungry first!" He said.

The old man waved his hand, looking listless.

While eating, Situ Xing looked at the old man curiously.

"Master, are you feeling very sad now?" he asked.

"No." The old man said.

"You can't even eat, and you still say you're not sad?" Situ Xing said.

"...One thing, but when I came, I already thought of the result." The old man sighed.

"It's still early, Taoist priest don't need to worry." Su Qingyue comforted him.

The afternoon time also passed quickly, and soon, the sun's heat faded, and it hung red in the west.

It is almost dusk, which means that the dream of the old Taoist for the past 50 years has completely come to naught.

The old man stood up, hoping to make himself see farther, and at the same time silently prayed that the sun would set slowly.

But the sun could not hear the voice of man, and soon it fell behind the mountains.

There is still a smudge of red in the sky, but this day is finally coming to an end.

The old man lowered his head, as if he had aged several years in an instant.

"Let's go, she won't come again!" He said in a daze.

"Wait a little longer!" Su Qingyue said.

"The sun has gone down, it's almost dark." The old man smiled wryly.

"There's still a few hours left, it's all here, why don't you leave after tonight."

"Miss Su... I know you mean well, but she really won't come again."

"Wait a little longer!" Su Qingyue still insisted.

Seeing her firm attitude, the old man sat down again.

Situ Xing lit a bonfire, and a few people sat around, enjoying the cool night breeze while listening to the crackling sound of firewood.

"When we met, she was only 17 years old...everyone called her Peach Blossom. That's not her real name, but because she looks as pretty as Peach Blossom when she smiles." The old Taoist said quietly.

The old voice resounded from this mountain peak, giving this ancient encounter an air of distant nostalgia.

Both Su Qingyue and Situ Xing listened carefully, while the wolf dog king kept walking around to ensure their safety.

"At that time, I was a fledgling little Taoist priest, earning some money by helping people exorcise evil spirits. I was tired from walking that day, and I found a big family with a tall gate on the opposite side, so I thought of an idea and planned to knock on them. A penny. As soon as I walked in, the door opened, and a beautiful girl came out. When I saw her, I was completely dumbfounded, and all the words I made up in advance were held in my stomach, and I couldn’t speak out. .Because my clothes were torn at the time, she told me not to rush and speak slowly, and asked me if I was hungry, and asked someone to bring some food over..."

When the old Taoist said this, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"What happened later?" Su Qingyue asked.

"Later, I was reluctant to leave and wandered around the neighborhood all day. After a long time, everyone in the town knew me. Taohua was not in good health. Her mother came to see a doctor when she heard that I was good at medicine. It was actually not a big deal. The problem is that I often cough and can't get rid of the root cause, and I happen to have a corresponding prescription in my hand. But I was reluctant to give them, so I dispensed the medicine myself, and asked her to come and pick it up every now and then. In order to avoid other people's eyes and ears, I used the name of recuperation , took her to Qianxun Peak, and we made love under this ancient pine tree. But the good times didn't last long. After returning, her father arranged another marriage. That is the son of the local prefect. It is said that he is gentle and elegant, Not to mention the family background... Once the parents of the two parties talked about it, the marriage was set up like this. Taohua disagreed, but in ancient times, the matchmaker's words were determined by the parents, so how could she resist?" There was a bitterness in the old Taoist's eyes.

"Are you just letting her marry someone else?" Su Qingyue frowned.

"Otherwise? I have no father or mother, and I am a Taoist priest with no fixed place. How can I bear to let Taohua suffer with me?" the old Taoist said.

"Maybe she is willing?" Su Qingyue said.

"...We are very incompatible in all aspects. If you follow me, her life will be completely ruined." The old man said in a depressed mood.

As a duckweed drifting with the tide, his inferiority complex has penetrated into his bone marrow.

Su Qingyue did not continue to ask, she had already guessed the next result.

"Later I left the town without saying goodbye, and Taohua married Zhizhou's son as expected. 20 years later, I passed by there again and met her by chance, only to find that after so many years, Taohua is still a People. It turns out that Zhizhou’s son suffered from an incurable disease in his early years. The family wanted to use the marriage to celebrate the happiness, so they welcomed the peach blossoms in the door. Unexpectedly, that person fell ill and died on the night of the marriage... The fate of the peach blossoms is natural. One can imagine."
