"General, Nanny Chen, did you drop this basket?" Ying Yi asked them while holding a basket.
Chen Yao and Xiao Yan looked at him at the same time, and then saw the paper money sticking out of the basket he was carrying.
Chen Yao's face was slightly embarrassed. She quickly took the basket from him and said, "Thank you, Guard Yingyi."
Yingyi: "You're welcome."
After saying this, he asked Xiao Yan for instructions again and left quickly.
After Ying left, Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at the paper money in the basket that Chen Yao was carrying. He asked calmly, "Are these all you want to burn for that man?"
Chen Yao looked up at him in surprise and asked, "General, how did you know?"
Xiao Yan didn't answer her question, but asked, "Why are you leaving it alone?"
Chen Yao paused for a moment before explaining to him, "General, there's a saying at the Mountain Spirit Temple that if you want to burn paper money for someone who died unexpectedly, it's best to start burning it just as the sun is about to set, and finish burning it before it completely sets."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was a little confused. Why had he never heard of such a statement?
What he didn't know was that the reason he had never heard of such a statement was because it was all made up by Chen Yao on the spur of the moment.
However, he didn't intend to dwell on this for too long, so he asked Chen Yao directly: "Are you planning to wait until the sun is about to set before burning that man?"
Chen Yao looked up at the sky and said, "General, it's almost time."
Xiao Yan followed her and looked up at the setting sun on the other side of the mountain. He suddenly said, "Let's go. I'll go with you to burn it."
Chen Yao waved her hands repeatedly and said, "General, this is unacceptable. Burning the ashes will make your clothes dirty, which will be bad."
Xiao Yan raised his hand and gestured to her: "Let's go, lead the way."
Chen Yao agreed with an embarrassed look on her face, then walked silently in front to lead the way.
However, from a perspective that Xiao Yan could not see, she was quietly curling her lips and smiling, like a cunning fox.
As they walked, they arrived in front of the Shanling Temple.
Mountain Spirit Temple.
Because the name contains the word "Ling", many people have come to this temple to burn paper money over the years. Especially those who find it inconvenient to go back to their hometown to pay homage will choose to come here on special days to express their longing for their deceased relatives.
But not many people come here now, because it is not a special day for memorial services.
Chen Yao found a spacious place without much wind, bent down to tidy up, then took out some paper money from the basket and slowly burned it.
Xiao Yan also took out some paper money from the basket and threw it into the fire.
But he threw too much and almost put out the fire.
Chen Yao: ...
She silently used a small stick to move aside the extra paper money that Xiao Yan had put in, and then moved it back when the burning part was almost burned out.
Xiao Yan looked at her familiar movements and suddenly asked, "Mrs. Chen, do you often burn paper money for that man?"
Chen Yao was silent, suddenly speechless, not knowing how to answer his question.
After a long while, she mumbled, "Not often."
Xiao Yan then casually asked, "You haven't gotten married yet, right?"
Shen Yao nodded and said, "Yes, General."
Xiao Yan picked up a wooden stick from the side and followed Chen Yao to fiddle with the burning paper money.
Under the flickering firelight, Xiao Yan suddenly turned his head and said to Shen Yao, "Actually, you don't owe him anything."
Chen Yao looked at him in surprise, her eyes flickering slightly: "General...you are the first person to say this to me."
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly before continuing, "The villagers all said that it was my bad luck that killed him. Even my family said so."
Xiao Yan threw another handful of paper money into the fire, then brushed them aside perfunctorily, saying, "There's no such thing as bad luck or no luck. There's no need to believe those nonsense."
Chen Yao felt warm in her heart, and said to Xiao Yan with a smile: "Thank you, General. I feel much better after hearing what you said."
Xiao Yan raised his hand and said, "Don't thank me. Those remarks are nonsense. I am just telling the truth."
Chen Yao lowered her head slightly, a smile flashing in her eyes.
After all the paper money was burned, the sun had already set, leaving only a ray of afterglow.
Xiao Yan took her back, and the two walked one in front and the other behind, with a considerable distance between them.
When they reached the brown horse, Xiao Yan asked Chen Yao, "Do you know how to mount it?"
Of course Chen Yao… shook her head.
Xiao Yan: "Then let me help you up."
Chen Yao: "Sorry to bother you."
It sounds simple, but when they actually had physical contact, both of them felt very uncomfortable, especially Xiao Yan.
After finally helping Chen Yao onto the horse, he also got on and sat behind her.
Then the postures of the two of them instantly became ambiguous, especially when Xiao Yan was riding his horse forward, his two arms went around Chen Yao from behind, looking like he was circling her.
But in reality, only they themselves knew that the distance deliberately separated between their two bodies was quite large.
After leaving the Shanling Temple area, you will have to cross a small forest.
The sky had darkened by this time, with only a faint moonlight shining on the road.
After passing a short bumpy road, Chen Yao subconsciously leaned back and fell into Xiao Yan's arms.
The sudden soft fragrance that came close to him made Xiao Yan feel his whole body tense. At such a closer distance, the fragrance and sweet scent coming from her body became stronger when he breathed. Xiao Yan was a little dazed for a moment.
As Chen Yao got close to Xiao Yan's broad chest, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
She sniffed the cool breath coming from Xiao Yan, and felt her body getting a little weak.
Sudden--
A familiar feeling of stuffiness came over me——
Before Shen Yao was even prepared, the bulging exquisite place suddenly overflowed...
In the air, an extremely sweet smell instantly filled the air...
Chen Yao thought to herself: This time, it’s over.
Xiao Yan seemed to realize that something was wrong, but he didn't know what exactly was wrong.
Chen Yao lowered her head helplessly and looked at her chest in the faint moonlight.
really--
The traces of wetness could no longer be concealed, and because she was wearing plain, light-colored clothes, the traces looked even more obvious.
"General..." she said anxiously.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked.
"I... I have some emergencies... I need to deal with them first. Can you stop for now?" Chen Yao asked with a red face.
