Chapter 319 You are in front of me, you are my beacon
Chunyi was not as excited as Gu Nan. His hand stroked Gu Nan's long hair that fell on his waist. His eyes were calm as he repeated what he had said to Gu Nan: "No matter what my final outcome is, it is my own choice."
In his dream of Dharma, he saw evil spirits causing chaos, saw sentient beings suffering, saw Gu Nan working hard for the people's livelihood, and saw him cry for monks.
He had seen many people die.
He knew how it all would end.
At the beginning, he just wanted to follow his own path and be a witness to history.
Later, unable to bear the sage's end, he journeyed to Qingjing Peak to seek the truth. Unwilling to leave Gu Nanxin with his remaining strength, he traveled thousands of miles to slay the evil. Unwilling to let go, he was willing to take even the slightest chance of survival.
He gave in step by step, and now he has no way to retreat.
"I know what I've given up." Chunyi and Gu Nan looked at each other frankly, their faces calm and their eyes clear. One could easily see the emotions surging in their eyes, like a huge wave that made people tremble.
"Gu Nan, I don't regret it, and you don't need to blame yourself. Everything is just right."
Gu Nan stared into his eyes steadily, his eyes trembling.
She really wanted to shout, no, you don’t know what you really have lost, you are trying to catch the moon in the water, you will have nothing.
But she couldn't speak.
He was so determined that she couldn't say anything to spoil the fun.
Finally, she pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's no use regretting it. You can only go down this path until the end."
Junyi smiled lightly, his eyes softening, "It won't be dark. You are in front of me, you are my guiding light."
Gu Nan was shocked, crying and laughing, "Chun Yi, you can actually say sweet words now."
Oh my god, why don’t I have a camera?
The system volunteered: [Host, I'll record it for you! ]
Gu Nan: "Who told you to come out? Get out!"
System: I’m so angry that I’m writing garbled characters &㏄＃!
The blush that hadn't completely faded from Junyi's face surfaced again, and he abruptly changed the subject, "It's getting late, are you going home?"
Gu Nan shook his head, "If you don't go home, just stay here overnight."
Junyi stared at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
So that night, the two of them sat on the tree and watched the stars all night.
The next day, the two men came down the mountain safely. The villagers were not surprised and greeted them very calmly without mentioning the embarrassment of yesterday.
The aunt who came to visit the house pulled Gu Nan aside and asked a few questions, but didn't say much.
Junyi cleared the land and planted vegetables as if nothing had happened, studying the soil fertility, and he witnessed his transformation from a high monk to a farmer.
Gu Nan was busy exchanging eggs with others to hatch chicks. October was a good time to hatch chicks. Once they were hatched, they would lay eggs next spring. Then he could give the eggs to Junyi and eat the meat himself. How wonderful!
Chunyi never mentioned that confusing wedding night again, and Gu Nan thought it was over.
System: [Host, you don't really think you can get through, do you?]
Gu Nan: "...Who asked you to come out?"
The system was afraid of being scolded by Gu Nan again, so it muttered: [I'm just reminding you, otherwise you'll blame me later.]
After reading it, he quickly logged off.
Gu Nan couldn't stop shouting and cursed the system inside and out.
That night, the two of them lay on the bed, covered with a quilt and just chatted.
Gu Nan thought he would just have to endure the night with his eyes closed, but unexpectedly he fell asleep in a daze in the second half of the night.
*
Gu Nan reluctantly crawled out of the quilt, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and got up to turn over the eggs in the incubator.
After finishing reading, he lay back down on the bed and took a nap.
Since she regained her sense of taste, her five senses have become increasingly similar to those of ordinary people.
He could taste food without offerings, pick up things without ghost power, feel pain when bumped, and even sleep again.
It's just that my state is a bit unstable, and my perception is different from that of an ordinary person. Not quite like a ghost, but not quite like a human either, and it's a bit awkward, neither up nor down.
But Gu Nan was already satisfied. At least he looked more like a human than a complete ghost.
After all the ups and downs, people are still the most comfortable.
Junyi went up the mountain early in the morning. Gu Nan lay down for a while, then got up and wrote a letter to Kyoto.
For more than a month, she wrote letters to Kyoto every few days, and then took the letters to the nearest post station in the middle of the night and asked someone to take them back.
It’s just that the journey is too far, so they probably haven’t received it yet.
She missed Jiang Wanying and her two children a little, and thought about returning to Kyoto, but she couldn't bear to leave the leisurely life here.
Chunyi's land has been turned over and the seeds have been planted. In two months, they will have vegetables to eat. Given Chunyi's careful budgeting, he will definitely dry the vegetables and pickle them. Coincidentally, Gu Nan is craving for them.
Her chicks are hatching smoothly. In the sunlight, you can clearly see the chicks' embryonic form, their feathers growing, and the eggshells thinning. They'll be ready to hatch in a few days. With careful care, perhaps you'll be able to enjoy your own chickens on the table before the New Year.
On the wall of the guest room hung a straw raincoat made by the two of them together, the bunk bed was covered with a newly woven bamboo mat, and under the paperweight on the desk were Gu Nan's funny drawings and Chunyi's copied scriptures.
There is also a small fir vase on the narrow windowsill, just because Gu Nan mentioned that he wanted to see flowers as soon as he opened his eyes.
Every few days, Junyi would change the water and add different flowers, sometimes a handful of Aster trifoliata, sometimes a handful of Polygonum aviculare, often mixed with daisy or delphinium. When there were no flowers, he would also gather a handful of wild onions.
When the flowers dried, he took them out, dried them, chopped them up, put them in a cloth bag and made a pillow for Gu Nan.
They are all common flowers and plants in the fields and mountains, but because of the pure care and concern, they are particularly precious.
He started going to the mountains again these days. Gu Nan had no doubt that there would be a flower bed in front of the window soon.
This is the home that she and Junyi built with great care. With each passing day, this cabin becomes richer and more beautiful than the day before. She can hide under the eaves and enjoy life without having to think about anything.
The late autumn sun was neither too strong nor too harsh, just right. After writing the letter, Gu Nan took the wild flowers and dried fruits he had picked a while ago out to dry again.
After drying, put the fruits into jars according to categories. When it is windy or rainy, you can take some out to make flower and fruit tea. Junyi likes it very much.
A little later, Junyi came back with a wild camellia with lush branches and leaves in his backpack.
Gu Nan smiled unconsciously.
When Chun saw Gu Nan smile, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, instantly diluting the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes. "Find a patch of wild camellia and transplant one to try. If it survives, you can see flowers this winter."
Sure enough, Chunyi planted a camellia in front of the window.
The camellia he selected was just tall enough to reach the bottom of the windowsill. Even if it was no taller, or a little taller, it would not affect the viewing experience.
Chunyi does things to perfection. With just one word from Gu Nan, he can sort out and arrange all the problems for her.
It seems that as long as he is there, everything in life will be perfect.
He has a pure character and always keeps his word. He is a more reliable person than the Buddha sitting in the hall.
Being with him, there is no anxiety, no worries, it will be plain but safe.
But is that it?
Is that all that is needed?
