Xu Qing was worried at the beginning about the unexpected impact of traveling through time and space and whether practicing martial arts would change his physique and lead to having children.
Later, I saw that Jiang He would have a stinky face for a few days every month and didn't want to read books, and he was also irritable when playing games, so he calmed down.
I have been in Suzhou for ten days, and it is already the beginning of April.
When Wang Zijun called, Xu Qing was walking with Jiang He on the way to Hanshan Temple.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qing had a strange expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"The big dog has become a father, gave birth to a son, and laughed wildly at me for two minutes."
"Just that... big dog?"
Jiang He recalled for a moment that Wang Zijun, whose feet were flimsy and whose posture was erratic, was hollowed out by alcohol, and when Xu Qing was fighting, he was bound tightly to stop Xu Qing.
If it were now, Xu Qing would be able to shake him away with a single effort.
"Have you always wanted to have a baby too?" Jiang He pinched his fingers lightly. Xu Qing's fingernails were round and healthy. This was all thanks to her teaching him martial arts. There is no credit for the sparring.
If there is no competition, Xu Qing will definitely fish for three days and dry the net for two days. It is difficult to improve so fast, and now he can follow her tricks of releasing water.
"I don't want to give birth, I just want your body." Xu Qing was very honest.
"You are a jerk!"
Jiang He looked around nervously, staring at this guy with his eyes.
"After giving birth, I am not as happy as I am now. I am very tired and stressed. I need milk powder and other things... I am not ready yet."
"It's all an excuse."
Jiang He looked away from the side, his cheeks flushed slightly.
The body is obsessed with the person you like, it seems pretty good when you think about it...
Jiang He, Jiang He, how can you think like this!
Can't go on like this!
The weather was clear, with patches of clouds floating in the sky, and the sun in early April was not yet scorching.
This season is just right for traveling.
"The temple is nothing but a group of monks." She changed the subject, and if she continued, she would be molested by Xu Qing again.
"Have you never been here?"
Xu Qing remembered that she had never been to Kaiyuan before, so she happened to take a stroll, and the incense candles she bought in Xiaotupo were still in her bag.
"Because it's boring."
"Traveling is all about seeing things you haven't seen before."
The yellow outer wall and the vermilion pillars inside are already in sight.
Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the midnight bells to the passenger ship.
The most famous one is the big bell in the temple, which is famous all over the world.
Xu Qing looked at this building more than a thousand years ago, and then looked at Jiang He, who was not much older than it, and felt the ruthlessness of time.
"It's a pity that you haven't been here before, otherwise you will have the joy of revisiting the old place."
What kind of mood would it be to look at it again after a thousand years
However, it has been destroyed several times, and the last reconstruction was in the late Qing Dynasty, so it may not have been the same for a long time. Thinking about it this way, it is not a pity, it is just a name.
The two walked closer and entered through the gate. On weekends and the weather was fine, there were quite a lot of tourists who came to offer incense, including many young tourists and uncles and aunts.
Xu Qing seldom came to this kind of place, he was quite curious, looked left and right, followed the passers-by for a while, and arrived at the gate of the main hall, leading Jiang He to go in and pay his respects.
"I don't believe in Buddhism." Jiang He stopped at the door, shook his head and refused to go in, and looked indifferently at the monk in the distance.
After a pause, she said, "Go, I'll wait for you."
"Ok."
Xu Qing entered the main hall, Jiang He stood outside the door, looked left and right, took two steps back and leaned on the stone railing.
Sweeping around the outside of the hall, Xu Qing returned to the inside of the hall. Xu Qing lit a joss stick, extinguished the flame, and smoke rose up.
Xu Qing, who was wearing a black casual coat, prostrated himself, clasped his hands together, not knowing what he was praying for. The unnamed golden Buddha statue sits upright, looking down on all living beings.
The stone railing was not high, so Jiang He leaned on it for a while, looked back, sat on it, and raised his head to look at the roof of the hall.
Sensing someone looking over, she turned her head to look sideways, and a monk was about to walk towards her with his hands upright. The two looked at each other.
For some reason, the girl looked delicate and pretty, but when she glanced at her, her back felt inexplicably cold.
"You really don't want to go in?"
When Xu Qing came out, Jiang He sat on the railing and swayed his legs to look at the plaque on the hall. Hearing his words, he got down from above.
"No."
"Then let's go and see something else."
Xu Qing took the bag she handed over, led Jiang He down the steps, returned to the small square, checked the location, and went to the big clock.
"What did you ask for?"
"It won't work if you say it."
"..."
Jiang He pouted.
"Things that are illusory, please rest assured." Xu Qing smiled, "It doesn't take much effort to pray to Buddha, and it doesn't cost much. When you leave this door, you should eat and drink. The easiest way to succeed."
"I don't believe it."
"Why don't you believe it?" Xu Qing remembered that the more history went forward, the more superstitious he became, and his attitude towards Jiang He was a little strange.
"Occupying fertile land and building temples, chanting scriptures all day long, not doing production, the Buddha statues are plated with gold and jade, and the pillars are painted with gold powder."
"It turns out that you Jianghu people also have a chain of contempt."
"It's normal."
"What did Er Niang say?"
"Well... Er Niang never believed in those things, and the country was destroyed." Jiang He looked at the temple with some disdain.
"If you all go to believe in Buddhism and chant scriptures, you will only get called. These car computers are not given by the Buddha, right?"
"It was given by people."
"So why don't you ask someone?"
"..."
Only then did Xu Qing recall that Er Niang also had a belief in enshrining, and she set up a longevity card for Yao Chong, who was the prime minister of Kaiyuan.
Who gave the days, she knows clearly.
That Er Niang worships people.
"If Er Niang was born in modern times, she must not be an ordinary person." Xu Qing admired this kind of person.
Jiang He was able to grow so fast in just two years, thinking about it, he couldn't escape Er Niang's influence.
The strong are strong everywhere, and being the leader of a group of rough men in ancient times, rather than the vase of a big boss, is much more difficult than a corporate executive.
"Sure." Jiang He raised his chin.
The bell of Hanshan Temple rang, majestic and melodious, Xu Qing smiled and patted her head.
Little girl, so cute.
"I heard that people will not be allowed to worship if they don't buy incense candles in the temple, so they will drive people out."
"A small number, only when the door is opened to welcome customers, is there a flow of customers. That kind of thing is not common." Xu Qing burned the incense he brought himself, and no one stopped him. If there were not so many left, he might not have spent a lot of money. Double the money to buy, "Open the door to welcome guests, how can there be such a thing as chasing people, the pattern is low."
The temple is full of incense, if something like that happens, there will be a lot of hot searches, after all, tickets are bought.
The ancient temple suddenly became a business.
Hanging around in the temple until noon, some places charge a separate fee, which is the IQ tax. The ancients charged only for writing a speech
It's a joke in the world, he plays with ancient people under the bed every day, but no one asks him to charge him.
Xu Qing snorted and took Jiang He away, found a bell tower with few people, took off his backpack to get food, and the two of them leaned on the railing to rest. Take out the map and see what else is worth visiting in Suzhou, let alone the historic sites.
He has always wanted to take Jiang He all over the country, but now there is a bit of a conflict in terms of time.
Studying, buying a house, working...these all need to be arranged.
"Travel all over the country?"
"Well, you have to do it before giving birth to the baby. You are an ancient person. I said that I want to show you the world. It's so convenient to fly and drive. It's a pity not to go."
"It depends."
Jiang He went back to Gusu, and seemed to have unraveled some knots in his heart, and his whole person became more quiet. When he was quiet, he was like a deep spring, quiet and elegant.
When it is not quiet, it is a violent element.
For cultivating ancient people to integrate into society and guiding her to grow up under the core socialist values, it seems to be not bad now... Compared with getting married and having children, Jiang He's current changes make Xu Qing happier.
…
On the last day in Suzhou, it was raining again.
Just like when he came, the drizzle was swaying, Jiang He didn't stay in the room, he took Xu Qing out for a walk, the two of them held an umbrella together, and walked in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a saber, and Xu Qing doesn't have the fun of playing Hanfu, otherwise he and Jiang He can experience the feeling of walking in the alleys of Suzhou in ancient costumes.
In the breeze and drizzle, the whole person seemed to be washed clean.
"Dude, can you take a picture for me?"
They don't wear them, so someone else wears them. A couple who are lovers of Hanfu came over with their cameras, asking Xu Qing for help.
"Fortunately, the two of us, if I were single, you might have rejected me."
Xu Qing joked, holding the camera to familiarize himself with the operation.
"Hahaha, no way no way."
After the two stood up, click and click to help them take a good photo.
"Do you want to take a few photos for you? I can send you a WeChat message when I get back." The Hanfu guy was very enthusiastic. He nodded when he saw the photos in the camera, and asked Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked at Jiang He, smiled and shook his head and refused: "No, we don't like taking pictures."
"Unfortunately, the weather is just fine now."
After talking for a while, the two people in Hanfu made a song, Xu Qing clasped his fists, and continued to wander around with Jiang He in his pocket.
The young man looked at their backs with a little envy. If these two people wore Hanfu, they would definitely be much better than him.
Don't let others take pictures, Xu Qing can take pictures himself, let Jiang He walk in the distance, smell the flowers and take a few pictures, and post them in the family group for Zhou Suzhi and the others to see.
After all, the wax gourds are all taken care of by them, so we can’t miss a message, so we can post a few photos from time to time and report the itinerary.
"When will you be back?" Zhou Suzhi asked on WeChat.
"Come back tomorrow, today is the last day"
"It's okay to play for a few more days"
"Know"
Xu Qing knew in his heart that he was almost tired from playing for half a month, and it was time to go back.
Jiang He held an umbrella and smiled at him, very feminine.
There is an oil-paper umbrella on the bluestone board by the lake, and the traveler stops to fold the flowers and drenches the silk and satin...
Oil-paper umbrellas, alley bluestone slabs, plus a cheongsam, naturally reveal a very beautiful artistic conception.
It's a pity that Jiang He absolutely can't accept the cheongsam... Even if he wears it, he will add a pair of pants under the cheongsam.
Xu Qing only fantasized about it for a moment, then dismissed the idea and asked Jiang He to wear a cheongsam. She might be steaming from the top of her head. Now she doesn't wear skirts higher than her calves to go out, and she wears slacks or jeans all day long.
"Jeans are so good." Jiang He once said to him with bright eyes, "You can still wear them if you accidentally have a hole. Those people ripped them open on purpose, and they are tattered. This is called fashion."
If Xu Qing didn't buy them, she might be able to wear those pants for several years, and she wouldn't even think about buying new ones.
Jiang He leaned closer, put his arms around Xu Qing's neck, and forced a group photo, and happily changed it to a screensaver.
"You don't need me to take this one?" Xu Qing showed her the solo photo just taken, which is very artistic and much better than the photo of two people.
"I'll change it later."
Walking on the streets of Suzhou, Jiang He saw a black-and-white kitten sheltering from the rain under the eaves. Jiang He wanted to take a photo with his mobile phone.
"I miss winter melon." She had been out for so long, and she didn't know what happened to winter melon.
"We're going back tomorrow."
"Have you bought the ticket yet?"
"bought it."
next day.
The two of them boarded the bullet train home, Jiang He was as excited as ever, leaning on the window to look outside, wishing the car could go faster.
The bag was placed on the upper luggage rack, Xu Qing fell asleep again, and she was entrusted with the important task of protecting the belongings.
"Next time we take winter melon out to play, shall we?"
When he arrived in Jiangcheng, looking at the familiar place, Jiang He felt relaxed as if he had returned home, took a deep breath, turned his head and said to Xu Qing.
"Winter melon is a cat, and it will be scary when you go to a strange place." Xu Qing shook his head, "If you want to take it with you, you can..."
"You can have a baby and take it with you to play, right?" Jiang He acted like I saw through you.
"No, I want to say that you can travel by car. It's better to let it get familiar with the environment in the car. If you have nothing to do, you can go for a walk."
"..."
Jiang He was silent for a moment, then slapped the back of Xu Qing's hand with pia, "I told you not to wear a hat!"
"??"
Getting out of the station and taking a taxi, the taxi drove towards home. The surrounding scenery became more and more familiar, and Jiang He's heart became more and more stable.
Although it is not as beautiful or as prosperous as Suzhou, in this completely unfamiliar era, this is the place she is most familiar with, and it is also the place where she has lived for nearly two years.
Gusu is already a strange city.
Even if Gusu is still the same as before, it's useless. After getting the certificate, she will be from Jiangcheng after marriage.
Jiang He looked out the window, and suddenly looked sideways at Xu Qing.
"What were you thinking?" he asked.
Feeling that Jiang He's expression seemed to be conspiring, Xu Qing was terrified.
Jiang He bit one of his lips, causing Xu Qing's heart to thump again.
She is not afraid of anything, but she is afraid that Jiang He will suddenly do something illogical. After all, her brain circuit is very weird.
"What are you afraid of?" There was a strange light in Jiang He's eyes.
She found that Xu Qing had been bullying her from the standpoint of the information gap. If she wasn't afraid, it would be Xu Qing who was panicking.
This guess made her eyes brighter, as if there was nothing scary about this guy, bridal chamber or something...
Who hasn't come here for the first time
"I want to beat you up." Jiang He said.
"? There must be a reason, right? For example, I'm not wearing a hat?" Xu Qing panicked even more.
What did ancient people think about every day!
No, this is a super ancient person who has learned the core values of socialism.
Gan.
