Zhang Xudong followed the Monkey King to the top of the cliff and was shocked by the scene before him.
The top of the cliff is flat and covers an area of about three or four square kilometers.
The top of the cliff was covered with weeds of varying heights, and fifty or sixty antelopes were leisurely wandering in the grass.
The Monkey King pointed at the antelopes and chirped loudly as if he was presenting a treasure. It turned out that he was using these antelopes to repay me for the well water I gave them.
Zhang Xudong gave a handful of bananas in the space to the Monkey King, and gave one to each monkey, then sent them back.
The little fox excitedly rushed into the grassland to harass the antelopes for fun.
Zhang Xudong gave He Jingxian half a bottle of iced mineral water to make her sober up a little, and then took her to walk around on the top of the cliff.
The top of the cliff is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and a bottomless canyon separates it from the distant mountains.
Clouds and mist were swirling all around, and Zhang Xudong felt like he was in a castle in the air.
The top of the cliff is only connected to other mountains in the direction where you came up. The mountain road is steep and narrow, and even wolves can't get up, so it is very safe here.
There are three ponds of different sizes scattered on the five or six thousand acres of land on the top of the cliff.
Judging from the traces, the water level must have dropped quite a bit, but it was still enough to provide water for the few dozen antelopes.
If this place is slightly modified and the weeds are replaced with high-quality grass, it will become an excellent mountaintop pasture.
It's peaceful and quiet here, with no predators like wolves, tigers, or leopards. The only downside is the harsh winter weather.
However, as long as we build some pens, there will be no problem.
Zhang Xudong took out a parasol and two lounge chairs, and sat on the lounge chairs side by side with He Jingxian.
In the distance, peaks are shrouded in mist, looming in the clouds. In the near distance, white clouds float, green grass undulates, and the sound of sheep bleating can be heard from time to time.
Zhang Xudong and He Jingxian sipped some monkey wine and ate some fruits and snacks from time to time. As the cool mountain breeze blew, they felt a sense of peace and tranquility.
"Jing'er, how about we live here when we're old? Raise some cattle and sheep, and plant some flowers and plants.
Watch the sunrise and sunset during the day, and the waxing and waning of the moon at night. It’s peaceful and quiet, don’t you think it’s beautiful?”
Zhang Xudong expressed his beautiful fantasy.
"I feel like the day you're talking about is when the doctor tells you:
You can eat and drink as you please, do whatever you want, and make yourself comfortable. Don't be reluctant to spend money, because it will be of no use to you if you keep it.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t have thought about living that kind of life.”
After hearing what Zhang Xudong said, He Jingxian poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Hey, Jing girl, are you saying I want to just sit here and eat and wait for death? You heartless little thing, aren't I just doing this to make your life more comfortable?"
“It’s okay to come here occasionally to relax, but don’t stay here long-term! Only when people are in society can they realize their own value.
If we live alone in the mountains as you said, then what is the difference between us and those sheep and monkeys?
Every day is different, every year is the same, so what is the difference between living one year and living ten years?
I don’t want to live like that, I want to live every day to the fullest.”
He Jingxian waved her little fist in the air as she spoke.
She never expected that her wish would be fulfilled so easily. Her future life would not only be wonderful but also very exciting.
"Girl, do you still have that technique in your memory? If you want to achieve the wonderful things, you must first make yourself stronger."
“Yes, but the one I’m most familiar with is Tai Chi. Sister Bing seemed to dislike the fighting moves because they weren’t as pretty and elegant as Tai Chi, so she didn’t practice them much.
But I like it. When my injury heals, I will definitely practice it again. I won’t be much worse than you.
I have already started practicing the mental method. Maybe it’s because I drank the well water, but I’m making rapid progress.
I feel like I'm stronger now than my dad. My ribs aren't hurting as much anymore, so they should be healed soon."
He Jingxian thought for a moment and then asked Zhang Xudong, "Brother Dong, do you think I can secretly give some of that well water to my parents?"
Zhang Xudong was speechless after hearing this and said, "Jing'er, I thought you had let your uncle and aunt drink it a long time ago, so you didn't mention it.
Of course we should give it to our loved ones. If they are healthy, we won’t have to worry about them anymore, right?
But you just have to be a little secretive. Start with a small amount and then increase it gradually."
After Zhang Xudong finished speaking, he sat up straight and said to He Jingxian seriously:
"Jing'er, if one day your uncle and aunt are in danger of their lives, you can use the space to protect them and keep it secret if possible.
But for their safety, if we really can't keep it secret, then forget it. At worst, we can just hide somewhere where no one is."
He Jingxian shook her head and said, "Brother Dong, it's not that I don't love my parents, but they are different from grandma.
Grandma considers you her everything, the continuation of Grandpa's life. So even if she doesn't want to live, she won't let you be in any danger.
Because my younger sister was born to Li Guizhi, although grandma didn't treat her differently, her feelings towards her were very different from her feelings towards you.
Maybe your grandmother and your mother had a very good relationship back then, and she loved everyone in her family, so it made no difference whether she knew the secret or not.
But my parents are different, they also have my brother, and other relatives and friends.
Most importantly, in their minds, the interests of the country are above everything else.
This includes themselves, as well as me and my brother.
So this secret cannot be known to anyone other than the three of us, not even my parents.
It's not that I'm selfish, it's just that I don't want you to be in any danger.
Brother Dong, you have to promise me that if our secret is ever exposed, I will take care of everything, okay?
After He Jingxian finished speaking, she sat up and stared at Zhang Xudong with a stubborn look on her face.
Zhang Xudong was moved by the little girl. He gently held her on his lap and said while looking at her face:
"Silly girl, you said you would follow me whether I go to heaven or hell.
So you can't abandon me at any time. If anything happens, we will fight together.
Even if the sky is torn apart and the earth is crushed, there is nothing to be afraid of. At most, we can live another life. Who can be immortal?
As long as we can be together, everything else is bullshit."
After Zhang Xudong finished speaking, the two of them stopped talking. They hugged each other, looked at the drifting white clouds, and thought about the passing years.
As long as you are here, everything else is bullshit.
