The mountains and forests are surrounded by earth and trees, the soil is humid, and the branches and leaves are dense, so the hot summer in the mountains is not unbearable. But at night, Liu Yan still asked Shen Jue to bring a bamboo couch and lay it across the yard, so he lay on the cool bamboo couch to enjoy the coolness. Walking in the mountains and forests during the day, a thin shirt is fine, but walking under the shade of a tree does not see the sun, and you may not even sweat. At night, it was a different kind of scenery. When the thin clothes were worn on the upper body, and the night wind blew by, it made people tremble, and the coldness made goose bumps all over the body. It was probably too cold, and even the mosquitoes that often appeared in the grass during the day were hidden, leaving only the cool breeze.
There are even fireflies flying happily in the dark. Occasionally, it flew in front of Liu Yan, circled around and flew away again. The faint blue light flickered in the darkness, ambiguous and fluttering.
Liu Yan lay on the bamboo couch, folded her arms and hugged the big snake in her arms tightly, quietly counting the stars above her head, feeling very comfortable.
About the time the thousandth one was counted, there was a quarrel outside the courtyard gate, and it was not appropriate to say "argument". There are only a few living creatures that can speak human language in this lonely mountain and wild forest, and three of them can't speak human language on weekdays. Just bickering and making fun, if they can quarrel, it's really a ghost! Therefore, it can only be the little pine tree spirit and Shen Jue who are arguing outside the quiet courtyard.
What kind of person Shen Jue is, Liu Yan knows it all too well, and he is only lively and lively when he is at home. Once he leaves home, he will have a tepid temper towards anyone. Noisy, he listened quietly from the side, and occasionally said a few words, the volume was not too loud or too small, just enough for people to hear clearly, never sharp. Therefore, the so-called "noisy" outside the courtyard is just the high-pitched volume of the little pine tree spirit alone.
Originally, the little goblin was neglected during the day, but Shen Jue noticed it when he came at night, coaxed him to sit on the bamboo couch, and enjoy the cool air with them. It should have been a peaceful and peaceful night , drink tea, tell stories, and then go to rest. However, the little goblin wanted to follow Liu Yan's example and would not give up until she lay on Shen Jue's furry belly.
This is the cause.
Although Shen Jue could be regarded as half a person, the other half was a real wolf demon, a wild beast. Belly is the softest part of him, a weakness in his nature that is not easily revealed. There are only three people who can lie on his belly to keep warm and act recklessly, in the vast crowd: one for his father, one for his father, and one, who was dressed in bright yellow dragon in the former imperial palace. the one in the robe.
In the former imperial palace, the emperor had a whim, and asked him to turn into a wolf to show him, and he changed too, lying on the dragon bed with his limbs wide open, so that the emperor could lie naked in this warm and fine fur churn. Tired of tossing and turning, the emperor laid his pillow on his belly, played with his ears, and promised: I will not use other wolf skins in the future. He stretched out his furry hands, retracted his sharp claws, and stroked the back of the emperor in his arms with the soft pads.
It was very rare for the emperor to become so obstinate, especially in the last few years of his life, when he almost lost his nature, like a piece of tempered steel, carved into a majestic form, standing on the highest peak in the world, There is no real emotion anymore. Even when facing him, he still had some stubbornness.
Shen Jue has always known that he is different from herself, and also knows that these small differences are precious. So the emperor in the world has always been in his heart. After all these years of his death, Shen Jue couldn't tell how sad he was when he thought about it, after all, when they were together, there wasn't much tenderness and tenderness.
However, he has always existed. In his heart, his words and demeanor, his voice and smile have never been blurred.
When he was alive, they were together for decades, and Shen Jue had never suffered for him. After his death, Shen Jue had looked for him all these years, and she had never felt pain.
At the same time, it has never been forgotten.
In the shape of a wolf, he has only hugged three people in his life, Liu Yan, Yi Mo, and the emperor. The first two were his father, his dearest relatives. The latter person is not a close relative, let alone a beloved one, but an existence that he puts in his heart—it occupies only a tiny bit of space in his heart, but it is also firmly rooted here. So he was willing to show him his original shape, reveal his soft place, and let him fall asleep on his pillow.
Therefore, without even thinking about it, he rejected the request of the little pine tree spirit.
The little goblin suffered some grievances during the day, and thought that they all knew it, so they should be tolerant and let him go, besides, he was just envious of Liu Yan and the others being able to get so close to Shen Jue, and he himself longed for that kind of intimacy, so he thought about it too. I didn't want to bring it up. But he didn't expect to be rejected abruptly, and the person who rejected him was still his favorite "Brother Xiao Shen", his heart was sore and bitter for a moment, in front of Liu Yan and Yi Mo, he still felt a little bit of shame and resentment that he couldn't get down , his face flushed for a while, and tears rolled in his eyes.
Shen Jue didn't say much, and pulled him out. After closing the courtyard door and walking a few more steps, he said seriously to the little pine tree spirit, "Sorry."
The little pine tree spirit sniffled, stopped the dazzling tears, and said with a sob: "Why can they all do it, but I can't."
Shen Jue has always had a straightforward temperament, and after so many years of walking in the world, he knows that the danger of procrastination is no less than that of killing with a soft knife, so he bluntly said: "No one else can do it, they can do it."
The little pine tree spirit was puzzled, and asked: "Why?" Suddenly, he remembered the dead person Liu Yan had said, and his heart became even more angry, and his voice became sharper: "Is your father okay, and that dead person is okay, just I can not?!"
As soon as he yelled, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, his face turned white with shock, and he cast his eyes on Shen Jue, fearing that he would be angry. Unexpectedly, Shen Jue was not angry, but his expression flashed in a trance, as if recalling something, his brows and eyes were tender for a moment.
After a brief moment of stupefaction, Shen Jue looked at him, still with a serious expression, and said in a deep voice: "You have never left the mountain, and you have worked hard to become a master. That day you squatted on the ground alone crying. I saw you. Let me relieve you, this is how we met. You are ignorant of the world, innocent as a child, and I have always regarded you as a child, and I have never read him. Now that this is the end of today's conversation," Shen Jue sighed after a short pause , "It's ugly to go any further, and I can't say it. In the future... it's better to come less. You have a pure and pure heart, and you will be able to achieve great success in the future. In your eyes, I will be nothing more than a Just a little fairy."
After speaking, he turned around and went back to the courtyard. The moment he closed the door and bolted it, he saw the tearful young man under the bright moonlight.
The wooden door was closed silently, and the gap was tightly closed, forming an impenetrable iron wall.
With a calm expression, Shen Jue turned her head to look at the bamboo couch. On the couch, a person and a snake were whispering, and then walked over. Walking halfway, he suddenly turned into a wolf shape and rushed towards the bamboo couch. With a huff, Liu Yan and the big snake were crushed firmly.
The bamboo couch was made by Yi Mo himself, it was originally big in size, a small table can be set up on it to sit on, and the bed can be used as a bed, so when he threw himself over it, nothing happened.
Liu Yan was crushed by the giant wolf, so he didn't say much. He stretched out his hand to stroke his head and fingertips to comb the hair on the back of the wolf's neck. He had no choice but to return to his human form, lying side by side with Liu Yan, and let the giant wolf be obedient. At this time, he didn't have a bad mouth, and he disliked his smelly fur.
Under the moonlight, the black wolf drooped its ears, raised its nose, and stomped wildly on the human cushion under its body. It was still a wolf, it was clearly a pig eating. However, no one disliked him yet, and he was allowed to act wildly and coquettishly, and no one stopped him from biting Yi Mo's neck with his wolf fangs. Liu Yan was still smoothing his hair, as if encouraging him to bite down land.
Grinding his teeth on his father's neck, and being smoothed by his father for a long time, Hei Lang finally calmed down, lying motionless on top of the two of them.
On a breezy night, Liu Yan, who was lying comfortably on the bamboo couch, was covered by the thick black wolf fur—I would have known that I would not take a bath before, and look, I was sweating again.
After lying on the ground for half an hour, Yi Mo, whose patience had reached its limit, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked him down.
Shen Jue rolled on the ground, jumped onto the bamboo couch recklessly, this time nestled at the feet of the two, curled up, his wolf eyes just facing the closed courtyard door.
The wooden door has been bolted tightly, like a copper wall and an iron wall, isolating this small courtyard from the world.
This small courtyard may not belong to the human world, nor should it belong to the demon world, it never belonged to any place. From the beginning to the end, it was just a world, a castle that the three of them cling to.
Today, they are still stuck here. Waiting for the time to pass like an hourglass, ushering in the end is approaching.
The small courtyard also disappeared completely.
Fireflies are still circling inside and outside the courtyard, and the scene of flying lights, the darker the night, the brighter the small lights on their tails, it is obviously a little blue, but it also shines brightly.
The night was completely deep, Liu Yan took a bath again and went back to the room to sleep, Shen Jue loved the cold on the bamboo couch and refused to get up, Yi Mo took a thin quilt and threw it on him, and then went back to the room.
Liu Yan lay down with disheveled hair, closed her eyes and sighed: "So I misread it. I didn't see it, but they didn't get along."
"The dude you raised, how can he have the patience to coax others?" Yi Mo held Liu Yan tightly in his arms and said without opening his eyes: "That little fairy is ignorant of world affairs, and everything is done according to her own will. What kind of shortcomings. It's just that I just fell in love with Shen Jue, so I'm blind."
Listening to him slandering his son, Liu Yan was naturally unwilling, and argued: "He grew up in this mountain and couldn't get away from him. He has no experience. The first outsider he met was Shen Jue. He may not know what he wants. The future vision With Kuan Kuo's experience, it may not be necessary to lose Shen Jue."
Yi Mo smiled a little: "He is indeed immature, and it has been a long time, and he may not be able to empathize after being away from the deep mountains and old forests, but if Shen Jue has the heart, there must be a way to make him concentrate on him alone. In the final analysis, Shen Jue has no heart."
"Shen Jue is not unintentional." Liu Yan snorted, and this time he took the side of the little goblin again, "If it was really unintentional, he would not have provoked her in the first place, and he would not have shown us." On the contrary. The more you speak, the more fair you are.
Since what he wanted to say was so fair and no longer favoritism, Yi Mo also took a serious attitude, stopped talking nonsense, straightened up and said: "Shen Jue has never dealt with such a simple person, and I find it interesting to associate with him. After going back and forth, the little goblin fell in love with him, he naturally knew that he might not have no thoughts in his heart, but he was used to being cautious... "
cautious. Immo said.
If we say that the biggest characteristic of Shen Jue's temperament is caution. When things happen, you have to see the ups and downs, and see the people in the game clearly before making a decision. Therefore, when he saw that the emperor didn't have deep affection back then, he didn't want to be deep. He insisted on holding it, paying just right, not losing money for himself, and not losing money for the other party, so he felt it was fair. In fact, being in the game is a matter of love, so there is no fairness at all.
It is the same for the emperor, and it is the same for the goblin. After meeting for half a year, since the little goblin showed her intention, Shen Jue might not have thought about it. It's just that the time is short, even though he thinks this goblin is innocent and innocent, he is only willing to watch from the sidelines.
But he doesn't necessarily understand that a simple and ruthless person is equivalent to ignorance, and the same goes for monsters. That little goblin is innocent, but a little ignorant, she doesn't know how to be perfect when she encounters problems, and she has to ask others to help her to get out of trouble. What happened tonight, if someone else was rejected, he would just smile casually and ask for the next step. When there is no one in the future, talk about it calmly, not only will there be no waves, but it will add a bit of loveliness.
But that little goblin doesn't even know how to round the field. Everything is casual, if you feel wronged, you will act wronged, and if you are angry, you will rely on your temper, shake your hands and leave. To put it bluntly, it is pure and unintentional. To put it bluntly, it is self-righteous. Everyone in the world should understand him and be considerate of him.
Yi Mo shook his head: "Shen Jue likes his simplicity, but he may not like his 'too simple'. That bit of thought will be withdrawn."
"In the final analysis, there used to be an emperor who was able to advance and retreat in a timely manner, without leaking water..." Liu Yan narrowed his eyes, and said bitterly: "There was an example before him, and Shen Jue realized that when he was with that little goblin, he had to teach him slowly." , pet slowly, even if you are angry, you can’t act angry, otherwise the little goblin will be even more angry.” After a short pause, Liu Yan made a conclusion: “Your son is afraid of suffering!”
Yi Mo raised his eyebrows: "This is my son again, so it has nothing to do with you?"
Liu Yan also sat up, stared at him for a while, and jumped over like Shen Jue before, biting his larynx and grinding his teeth. After grinding for a while, he let go, and murmured: "It's just a matter of falling. thing."
One thing subdues another thing, but the little goblin cannot subdue Shen Jue. If it is subdued, Shen Jue will feel very happy even after suffering from him.
"Like you and me?" Yimo said.
Liu Yan chuckled: "I don't even know when I sent you down. I only know that in the small courtyard in the mountain that year, there were people who didn't think it was too complicated, and talked with me every night... but they took me down."
Yi Mo bowed his head and kissed him on the face: "It's not enough to surrender one thing to another. In this matter of love, you have to surrender to each other."
Only by surrendering to each other can we be sympathetic and understanding to each other, and only when things happen can we back down a bit, give in to each other, and tolerate each other a bit. Otherwise, it will be nothing but fetching water from a bamboo basket.
Liu Yan lay back and closed her eyes, thinking of the pine tree spirit in her mind—Shen Jue was sad, but she could still come to them for comfort. The little pine tree spirit grew up alone without any brothers or relatives. Now that he is sad, who can he turn to for comfort. It is very pitiful that there is not even a person to confide in.
The word love is really worrying.
Then it occurred to her that Shen Jue would be like him soon, with no one to complain to when she was sad, and nowhere to go when she was sad, so she could only live alone and wander around. He worked so hard to the extreme, even if he cried, no one wiped his tears away.
Liu Yan's heart ached, as if she had seen Shen Jue wandering around after several years, with nothing but a pair of downcast eyes. That is his child.
There has never been blood relationship, but hundreds of years have been like a day, father and son are connected by heart.
How can he be willing to let go, seeing that he has grown up for three hundred years, but he has grown into an outcast in heaven and earth.
Liu Yan grabbed Yi Mo's hand, raised her head suddenly, her eyes were red, and said in a deep voice, "Don't die."
"Huh?" Yi Mo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what he meant, with hesitation on his face, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I am a snake."
"Let Shen Jue go with you. You are a snake, so you have to come back with him." Liu Yan had made up his mind, but his expression was calm: "You are a snake in the first place. You live a day, and I will support you a day."
"As long as you're still by my side, it doesn't matter what you look like."
"I will support you until the end of your life, and I will accompany you on the road."
Finally, Liu Yan said:
"We are all fathers."
