Wang Tianxiao and Cui Wanshan were playing chess in the house. Because Wang Tianxiao had the memories of two lifetimes, his chess skills had naturally improved a lot, completely suppressing Cui Wanshan, who was originally very confident. This made Cui Wanshan very annoyed, thinking that how come this kid's chess skills had improved so much in just over half a year?
I used to completely dominate Wang Tianxiao.
Now, even carrying Wang Tianxiao's shoes is a challenge.
"General!"
Wang Tianxiao's cannon captured Cui Wanshan's elephant. Cui Wanshan stared at it for a long time, then pushed his piece forward in frustration.
"I'm not playing anymore, how can I continue? I've played nine games this morning and lost all nine. This lousy chess game is so frustrating."
Seeing his angry expression, Wang Tianxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "When I was not as good as you before, you always pulled me down, ignoring how you were killing me. Now that you're weak, you've lost your temper?"
"Anyway, it's not going to rain."
"Haha, then I won't play."
Wang Tianxiao slowly put the chess pieces into the storage box and sighed, "If we don't play chess, what should we do? When we were busy before, we always wanted to find time to rest properly, but now that we're suddenly free, if we really rest, we feel restless and bored to death, and we feel uncomfortable all over."
These words struck a chord with Cui Wanshan.
He felt the same way.
Previously, I was very busy at Ziwu Ridge and hardly had any time to rest. So I was thinking that if I ever had a chance to rest, I would sleep for ten or fifteen days and then the emperor would not hold court.
but……
Now, with Wang Tianxiao here, this situation can basically be met.
But because he was so bored, he almost got sick from being bored out of his mind.
Just then, Li Tao came in carrying a thermos. Seeing the two of them in a daze, she smiled and said, "Why didn't it snow a little longer? The snow outside has lessened a bit and should stop by the morning."
"It's so boring..."
Wang Tianxiao suddenly thought of something, "You said the snow has lessened a bit?"
"Yes, it should be snowing soon. The snow has been heavy all night, and I don't know how thick it is. I see the whole mountain outside is covered in white, like white sugar has been sprinkled from the sky."
Wang Tianxiao stood up and went outside.
The mountain wind, mixed with snowflakes, immediately rushed towards his face. He covered his face with his hand and looked towards the distant mountains. Just as Li Yali had said, the snow on the mountains was quite firmly packed.
Although the snowstorm in front of us looks heavy, it has actually lost its power.
"Old Cui!"
He shouted loudly inside.
"Why."
"Let's go hunt wild boar!"
"ah?"
Cui Wanshan followed him out and was very surprised by Wang Tianxiao's suggestion.
"The New Year is just around the corner, and we need to eat pork anyway. If we hunt a few more wild boars, we can solve the meat problem."
"It's possible, but this..."
"Oh dear, these wild boars have nowhere to find food after the snow, so they're just wandering around. They're also hard to hide in the snow, making them easy to track. Isn't this the perfect opportunity to hunt them down?"
"Too."
Cui Wanshan thought about it and realized that this made sense.
Hearing this from inside, Li Yali hurriedly came out and tugged at Wang Tianxiao's sleeve, "It's so cold, you really want to go out? I think it's too dangerous. We don't need that little bit of wild boar meat, do we? What if someone goes out and gets sick from the cold? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
Wang Tianxiao laughed and said, "Don't worry, let's prepare first and wait until the snow has completely stopped before going into the mountains. This time it's just me and Lao Cui, with Aying and Xiao Liu. No one else will come with us, so there won't be any problems."
"Are you really okay? I still feel a little worried."
"Really, there's no need. Staying at home is boring. You know me, when I'm busy, I'm perfectly healthy, but when I'm idle, I quickly feel unwell all over, and I might even become unwell."
Li Yali wanted to say something more, but in the end she said nothing.
She knew that since Wang Tianxiao had this idea, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable if she didn't let him go, and he would definitely not be able to adapt.
"Alright then, you two wait until the snow has completely stopped before going out. I'll prepare some food for you to eat on the way."
Li Yali is that kind of woman. She will give her husband advice, but if there is really no other way, she will stop insisting.
Just as Wang Tianxiao always respected her ideas, she never interfered with what her husband particularly wanted to do.
She is well aware of the differences in certain thought patterns between men and women.
She cares more about her husband's feelings for her than about placing him in a place where only she can fit in.
This is her most simple and honest view on marriage.
Men and women get together because of each other's personalities; if they lose their personalities, they become different people.
No one knows whether the person who changes will still be the type they like.
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.
But regardless of whether it is true or not, another person's freedom has already been sacrificed.
Li Yali had read Qian Zhongshu's "Fortress Besieged" and remembered that it contained the saying that marriage is like a besieged city, with those outside wanting to get in and those inside wanting to get out.
She felt this was a result of disrespect for marriage.
The protagonist in the book sees marriage as the end of love, mistakenly believing that with the constraints of marriage, love will find a more suitable place to settle down. However, Li Yali believes that marriage is just one stage of love.
It is neither the beginning nor the end.
Around 10 o'clock, the snow finally stopped.
