Yunchuan Bell
The sun sets in a flash.
A young lady in a light red skirt was standing on the roof, holding a lantern, and looking into the distance.
I don’t know how long the flood will last.
The newly planted rice seedlings in the village would certainly not survive the flood, but fortunately everyone acted quickly and harvested a lot of ripe and nearly ripe fruits and vegetables before the water level rose.
Guiyao thought, please don't let it rain again. All she had to do was wait for the dam upstream to be repaired, and the water would soon recede.
"It's time to go."
Guiyue leaned against the bricks and tiles, her voice cold.
The villagers of Xiaohe Village have gone up the mountain road and found the flat land where they temporarily lived during the flood and set up camp. Guiyao asked her uncle to lead the way, but her uncle and aunt had to carry the unconscious village chief up the mountain.
The task of leading the way was left to Dahuang.
Gui Yao asked to stay and watch the water. The candlelight flickered slightly with the lamp in her hand. Her clear eyes were fixed on the village entrance where the bridge was so flooded that it was invisible. After a while, her lips, which were lightly bitten, turned red without any trace.
If it were any later, the mountain road would be even more difficult to travel.
Let’s go.
She swallowed all her unspoken worries. She knew that Ren Beixi was a young general and was usually steady in his actions, but she was still a little worried.
Only then did she realize that since they met, they had never been separated for such a long time.
Fortunately, her face was no longer as pale as the snow on the flowers and trees. Gui Yao held the lamp in her left hand and broke off a piece of wood from the road with her right hand to use as a hiking stick. She walked in front of Gui Yue, keeping her head down and not wanting to fall behind.
Guiyue: "You seem to be feeling much better."
Gui Yao's cheeks flushed slightly. She turned back while panting and squinted her eyes: "You have been recovering well these days."
She had no intention of hiding it from others, but the mind-reading system was too bizarre, and she had never been honest about it from the beginning to the end.
Half an hour.
When they reached the middle of the mountain slope, the sun was setting. Guiyao shifted her gaze from the water at the foot of the mountain to the rosy clouds in the sky. She took Guiyue's hand and pointed at the clouds: "Look, you can see the moon."
Guiyue withdrew her hand silently.
She carried a sword on her back, her eyes blazing.
Gui Yao looked into the distance with a smile on her face. It took her a while to realize that Gui Yue's gaze was fixed on her cheek. She blinked and asked, "Sister Gui Yue, why did you follow me and Ren Beixi? I thought you were going to look for Jiu Chong."
"Poverty Moon."
"Okay, Sister Pinyue."
Pinyue raised an eyebrow, lifted Guiyao by the scruff of the neck and walked towards the mountain. His voice was light: "Jiuzhong has his things to do, and I have mine."
Gui Yao turned around and stared at her, as if asking, is your business that you have been hiding from me for so long and then suddenly appear to scare me?
Pin Yue: "Do you have anything to say?"
"...No." Gui Yao ran away very quickly.
The mountain road was narrow, but the villagers had deliberately left many traces along the way, so the two of them followed it. It was no wonder that her uncle and aunt were not worried. This road was the widest, and there were even signs of annual repairs, so it was not difficult for the elderly and children to walk on it.
Natural disasters are no match for man-made disasters.
Gui Yao recalled her uncle's words: "The people today are much kinder than they were during the reign of the previous emperor."
Xiaohe Village is located in the mountains on the edge of Xianyu City. There is Huxia Village upstream and a deep mountain and dense forest downstream.
Warm in spring and cool in summer, it is like a paradise.
Back then, they also suffered a lot from bandits. That year, an epidemic was somehow introduced into the isolated village. If it weren't for the Gui family.
It's all in the past.
As they approached the top of the mountain, it was already pitch black. Gui Yao picked up her lamp and took a look. It looked good, but the lighting was a little low. She took out a torch with a cloth wrapped around the head from the bag on her back, soaked it in lamp oil, and lit it with the help of fire.
She half-crouched, finally waiting until the top of the torch was completely scorched by the fire, then turned around and called out, "Sister Pinyue, let's go."
But there was only the sound of the wind around.
Gui Yao raised her eyes. She was too serious just now and didn't notice when Pinyue, who was already taciturn, disappeared.
In the middle of the pitch-black mountain road, she was the only one left, clutching the torch tightly. Her bright eyes looked around cautiously. After a moment, she clasped her hands together, using the lantern staff she had just used as a weapon. She said in a calm voice, "Who is here?"
A deep voice came from the distance: "...Who is it?"
At the end of the mountain road, the moon is bright and the mist is thin
The night's mountain mist gradually dissipated and the sparks from the torches fell into the muddy ground.
The man's figure was as majestic as a jade mountain about to collapse, but before he could finish his next sentence, the slender and delicate woman with a cold aura threw herself into his arms. Under his long eyelashes, he could see the grievance that had been accumulated for a long time in his wife's curved brows.
"Yaoyao, it's me."
Ren Beixi's big hand wiped away the tears from the corners of Guiyao's eyes, but he couldn't bear to rub her delicate skin until it turned red.
I didn't dare to touch her at all, but she kept shaking her head and rubbing against me like a little animal.
Gui Yao had sucked enough of Ren Beixi, resting her chin on his chest, her voice muffled: "What brought you back? The journey was so long, and you haven't slept for almost two days. I was told not to drive while tired."
Ren Beixi lifted her steadily onto a horse that was chewing weeds by the roadside.
Ren Beixi whispered to her not to worry.
"How can I not worry!"
She thought of the rising water, the people in the village who were washed away in the flood three years ago, and her previous life, the cold words in the news reports. After a while, she bit her lip and looked up at the sky.
Gui Yao realized it later, perhaps because she had not communicated with the system for too long. When she felt the danger just now, she didn't even think of any other ways.
Damn system, it gave her back her healthy body, why is she still doing tasks?
Think about it this way.
She groaned and lay down on the horse to catch her breath.
I don't know what the side quest "Turtle's Longevity" is. There are no quest prompts every time. It's so tiring.
The mountain road was rugged, and Guiyao suddenly raised her head.
"Why are you going down?"
Gui Yao felt as if Ren Beixi had been staring back at her in a daze for a long time. She had no choice but to hide her blushing face in her arms shyly. After a pause, she asked, "Aren't we going to the mountains to meet up with the villagers? This direction is to go, go, well, it's too dark to see."
"Let's go to Yunchuan Temple. It'll be there in half an hour."
Ren Beixi said.
His eyes fell on Guiyao's thin body. He remembered that she had been caught in the rain in the morning. Now she was exposed to the wind at night. If she went to Yunchuan Temple, would she get sick again?
Guiyao didn't think too much about it, she was just suspicious.
She reached out and tugged at the end of the rope held by Ren Beixi. "Why are we going to Yunchuan Temple? The dam at Tiger Fjord has been repaired. Where's Pinyue? And Huang Shiyu? Oh no! Did I let Momo carry the golden pheasant away with him when we evacuated people today?"
I've been thinking too much, and my head feels a little dizzy...
Gui Yao called Ren Beixi's name, and when she saw him turn around, their eyes met, and she only thought of one sentence.
broken.
Why am I going to faint again?
"My wife has been weak since she was young, please take another closer look."
"Who dares to lie in front of you? Even if I were to swear in front of the Baohua Hall of Yunchuan Temple, I would still say that my wife's body was just a brief fainting due to a common cold and fatigue. I dare not lie."
Gui Yao supported herself with her hands and sat up on the edge of the bed. From a distance, she saw Ren Beixi standing sideways in front of the door. The doctor carrying the medicine box was wiping his sweat vigorously with a towel in his left hand.
Just as she was about to say something, she met the man's gaze. The cold light in his eyes, which had not yet subsided, made her shrink her shoulders and involuntarily look away to look outside.
I could faintly hear the sound of bells.
Arrived at Yunchuan Temple.
"How's the water in Tiger Fjord? What about the dike? Ren Beixi, you still didn't answer me last night."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gui Yao felt dizzy and clenched the bed sheet with her left hand. After she recovered, she wanted to say something, but Ren Beixi hugged her first.
The man's large hands carefully and cautiously pinched her temples, and his voice was much warmer than before.
"Nothing, the dam has been taken over by the prefect, and there is also Pinyue in Xiaohe Village."
Ren Beixi's breath fell on the neck of the girl in his arms, burning her fair skin with a delicate blush. He frowned, his eyes swept across her tightly bitten lips, and silently moved closer to her face, which was slowly becoming warm.
Just say: "Don't worry."
How can I be at ease about this?
Gui Yao said half-truthfully, "Whether you want to tell me why you came to Yunchuan Temple or not, it doesn't matter."
After hearing the man's Adam's apple rolling "hmm", she pushed his chest helplessly.
She had forgotten that her husband, Ren Beixi, was no different from others. He had been stationed in the north for many years and had died as a mad dog with a bow and sword. The thread of love between them was severed by the sword, otherwise he would not have had any doubts. She just seemed angry and did not ask any more questions.
"You know him so well?"
Gui Yao blinked and looked at Ren Beixi in confusion.
Where does this sound come from?
"Hey, that's where you're wrong. If you don't want to tell him you have a system, then why are you being so obvious about it?"
Gui Yao buried her face in Ren Beixi's arms and replied in her mind: "Oh, you are my new system."
The system's voice was a bit elegant, but the words it spoke were somewhat sarcastic.
"It's not a new system. This is still the Animal Mind Reading Notebook. I'm a high-level exclusive system. Haven't you noticed that our chat style has changed from /blah blah/ to the current double quotes?"
Guiyao: What are you mumbling about?
"Remind the host that the clue to the side quest Turtle's Longevity is located in Yunchuan Temple. Please work hard to collect the completion points."
Gui Yao reached out to intercept Ren Beixi's little finger that was playing with her hair, and then she realized that her hair was in a mess, which could only be the result of her hugging him.
She moved the bronze mirror from the table to this side, allowing her to see clearly. Although her hair accessories were simple, she looked particularly beautiful without makeup. Gui Yao lowered her brows, and thought pitifully about how she was going to explain her physical condition to Ren Beixi. Would she take medicine to treat it? This could only be used to deal with Pinyue. Ren Beixi had been by her side these days and knew best how weak she was.
or.
Ren Beixi was slightly startled when he realized that Guiyao in his arms had started to cry softly. He stretched out his hand to pinch her face, but she bit him. She lowered her tear-stained face, so he had no choice but to coax her in a low voice and told her in detail about the dam being washed away. After he finished speaking, he instinctively went to kiss her, but was pushed away by her little hand again.
The man held her slender right hand and stared at the red mole on her wrist.
Gui Yao cried and gasped: "I, I actually took the miraculous medicine that has been passed down in my family for thousands of years yesterday..."
Ren Beixi: "Don't cry, I shouldn't have hidden it from you. Someone told me that someone from Yunchuan Temple wanted to see us, and I wanted to..."
Suddenly.
The young couple paused and looked up at the same time.
