She wore a pair of thick-soled cotton shoes with dark blue uppers without any embroidery. They were ordinary cotton boots. Their style was not comparable to the sheepskin boots she once wore, let alone the knee-length boots she once wore. She wore high-heeled boots, but these boots were very stable when walking. Her steps were gentle, making a rustling sound when they landed on the piled leaves.
Without the support of leaves, looking at the bare branches feels somewhat desolate. During this season, except for sparrows, other birds have flown to warmer places to spend the winter. The forest became quiet without the chirping of birds. She reached out and touched the trunk of an elm tree, and the rough bark made her palms ache.
She recalled that when she was in Yongning, she and Wang Yulan went up to the mountain to collect firewood. She took a sickle and carved a person's name on a tree trunk. At this time, she could no longer carve his name on the tree, and she didn't have a sickle in her hand. However, she picked up a branch from the ground, lowered her head and wrote his name in the sand. Her state of mind at this time was completely different from that of her then. At that time, she was full of hatred and anger, and she wrote his name angrily. But now, what was rippling in her chest were the bits and pieces of the time we had spent together, whether it was love or hate, they all followed the passage of this winter. Then everything disappeared.
She became a little lonely in her heart. She walked gently through the forest until she heard a rustling sound. Li Wei turned around in panic, only to see the man striding towards her.
He wore an eggplant gray cloak, and his hair was pulled back with gold hairpins.
The name of the visitor was exactly the one she had just carved, so why did he suddenly appear, like a god descending suddenly. The expression on Li Wei's face was full of surprise.
Seeing her surprised look, Zhao Qian smiled gently and said, "Are you surprised? Are you surprised?"
"Where did you... get out of here?"
"Of course it fell from the sky. Because I heard your inner call." Zhao Qian stood in front of Li Wei with a smile. He had been out for several months and finally met the person he thought about day and night. Naturally, he was filled with joy.
Seeing that he didn't say anything serious, Li Wei rolled her eyes at him and said, "I won't talk to you anymore." After saying that, he walked aside, but Zhao Qian quickly followed up and took advantage of the situation to hold her hand. hand.
But Li Wei shrank back as if he was electrocuted, and scolded him with a red face: "Why did you drag me with you if you want to die?"
Zhao Qian stretched out a finger and put it on Li Wei's lips, motioning her to keep her voice down, and said, "Don't worry, they won't break in without permission."
Li Wei then said: "When did you replace all the people around me with your people?"
"Conscience of heaven and earth, how many times have I done this before. But I had a bad reputation before, and they were all afraid of me. They would naturally hide far away when they saw me. No one would dare to come in if they didn't fear death." Zhao Qian said this in a very serious tone. He looks a bit gangster.
Li Wei walked quickly in the direction of the Taoist temple. A man and a woman living together alone would be gossiped about even if it was nothing. Such gossip is not good for either of them.
Li Wei was in a hurry, but he didn't expect to encounter any obstacles and fell straight into Zhao Qian's arms.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, and you are so eager to throw yourself into my arms, so naturally I won't be polite." Still with a gangster tone, he stretched out his arms to hug Li Wei tightly. Li Wei was so frightened that he pushed him away: "Let me go, you gangster."
"Shh, stop talking, or I'm going to kiss you."
Li Wei's arm was tightly restrained by his arm, making her unable to move. Li Wei looked at him with shame and anger, and said to him eagerly: "Let me go."
"I can't bear it." Zhao Qian put his hands around Li Wei's slender waist and let her head rest on his chest. Li Wei clearly heard the beating sound in his chest turning out to be as fast as his own.
Under Li Wei's fierce request, Zhao Qian finally let go of her and ended the brief hug.
"It's not convenient to say anything in public, but it's quiet here and there aren't that many worries." Zhao Qian and Li Wei walked side by side.
"You have to promise me not to do anything else, otherwise I will be really annoyed. You must still remember the hardships you have suffered, right?"
"Okay, okay, I promise you!" Zhao Qian said sincerely.
The two of them walked slowly in the forest. Zhao Qian said: "I received a letter from the emperor and told some things. I was very worried about you, so I left those things behind and came back to see you. Unfortunately, the transportation was not very convenient and I was delayed on the way. Some time later.”
"Your Majesty? What did he tell you?"
"You said you were given a hard time by those old guys. I'll find something for them to do when you get back. It seems that they all have free time, so they have to have something to do."
"Did the Emperor invite you back?"
"Of course. But I plan to come back even if I don't receive his letter. The late emperor's anniversary ceremony is coming soon, and I have to celebrate your birthday. What do you wish for your birthday? It's a pity that we can't prepare a birthday cake here. Flowers are also limited.”
Speaking of birthdays, the most memorable moment for the two of them was naturally when they were in Scotland.
Li Wei shook his head and said: "I don't even know how old I am or what my birthday is. It's not appropriate to say it." After all, he never expressed his birthday.
Zhao Qian then told Li Wei what he had seen and heard outside in the past few months, and talked about the hardships of the people and the prevalence of abuses. They also talked about the reasons why it was difficult to collect taxes. When talking about these state affairs, the two of them inevitably had more topics to talk about.
"They don't allow you to come out to be in power, so how about you stand behind me and make suggestions for me?"
"Do you believe me?"
"I believe it. Have you forgotten the encouragement I gave you before? You have learned a lot of knowledge that no one has learned before, and you have been working in the media for so many years. You are well-informed and your ideas must be different from ours. In this era New blood is needed.”
Li Wei said modestly: "In the final analysis, I am just an art and sports student. I didn't study politics very well back then, but I have interviewed several government meeting reports, so I have some opinions on some things."
"Let me tell you, you will definitely not let me down. I will ask for more advice from you in the future. Don't worry, I will stand by your side no matter what time and resist everything for you."
"I'm just afraid that introducing new policies will harm the interests of some people and implicate the prince."
"Since we want to reform, we must make sacrifices. I am not afraid of anything. As long as you are by my side, I am willing to do anything. Even if you ask me to kill people and set fires immediately, I will not hesitate for a moment."
Li Wei said angrily: "Okay, then what will happen to me?"
"Awei, let's move forward hand in hand and work together to change this era. When the world is at peace and we retire, we will never be separated again, okay? I don't dare to think about the future without you."
Li Weixindao is worthy of being the best actor. He can say these words easily without even blushing.
