Ruda was a wonderful person. He actually brought a pot of tea with him, poured it into three bamboo cups, and put it aside.
Looking from this "big carpet", the following is the scene of autumn, with various ripe fruits and some undulating crops. In the harvest season, the autumn wind passes by the ears, the sun is warm but not scorching, the autumn scenery Everything is just right.
Yue Pengju couldn't see, so his sense of smell was even more sensitive. In the air, there were all kinds of autumn wild flowers, gorgeous smells, and faint fragrance. With his beloved wife, deep friends, a cup of tea, and a wisp of breeze by his side, he took a deep breath. : "It would be a blessing in life if my husband and I could accompany Brother Lu to grow old here."
Ruda drank a cup of tea and smiled heartily: "Pengju, when your wish comes true, the Sa family will welcome you and your wife at any time. Although you are a big-bellied man, the Sa family is not afraid, haha, but ask the young monks to open up more wasteland and create a variety of That’s all vegetables.”
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
Immediately, the three of them went all over the place to discuss all kinds of interesting things. They did not mention any unpleasant things, not the government, not the war. But Hua Rong couldn't help it. She had repeatedly tactfully warned Zhao Deji to be careful. Qin Hui, who had never had any effect, had already given up on persuading him. He knew that what Zhao Deji actually wanted was such a "peacemaker" so that he could retain half of the country. But he was worried: "Peng Ju, I don't know how long the emperor will allow you. I'm afraid he will send someone to summon you again during the holiday. At the moment, you must take good care of your eyes."
"I have submitted my resignation, and Prime Minister Zhang Jun has witnessed it with his own eyes. Sister Seventeen, don't worry, we will definitely have a peaceful life."
When she heard what her husband said, she stopped talking and handed a cup of tea to him. She also drank a cup. Looking around, she saw wild chrysanthemums spreading like golden brocade on the cliff under the boulder. A gentle breeze blew through her nose. This made both of them temporarily forget all kinds of troubles, and just wanted to enjoy this moment for a moment.
That night, before the two went to bed, Hua Rong sorted out the clutter on the table and saw the bottle of green medicine. He casually put it aside, feeling a faint pain in his heart. For this thing, King Qin, he had spent a lot of money again. How much effort
Yue Pengju couldn't see his wife's expression, but he heard her rustlingly packing her things, and said softly: "Sister Seventeen, I forgot to tell you that I have asked Liu Wu to identify the iron coupon."
"Oh, what is that?"
"It's Jin Wushu's death-free token."
"Haha, Ganqing is very good. I'll take it. He has to do everything possible to get it back. In the future, we will also create some trouble for him and threaten him." Hua Rong was very happy. Thinking of something, he couldn't help but ask, "Qin Where have they gone, Your Majesty?”
"Speaking of which, I have to thank him for finding you for me. I gave him the design drawings of Yang Mo's big ship, and he left without saying where he went."
Hua Rong quietly moved the baggage on the table a little further. Inside was the gold leaf that she had packed away from King Qin. The gold leaf and the turquoise medicine bottle made her heartache faintly when she saw these two things. She did not tell her husband about such a "miracle medicine", and subconsciously, she was even more reluctant to take it. It seemed that if she drank it in one gulp, no matter what the result was, she was gaining "happiness" by relying on a friendship that she could not repay!
In this case, I would rather not be "happy"!
She put the bundle together, put it in a wooden box in the corner, closed it, and breathed a sigh of relief. She heard her husband's gentle voice: "Sister Seventeen, what are you doing? Why don't you go to bed and rest?"
Then she walked over with a smile and scolded him softly: "I'm just here, right?"
After this entanglement, the friendship between the two became even deeper. From then on, the couple lived in Donglin Temple, loving each other and living happily together.
Ruda invited several doctors to diagnose and treat Yue Pengju's eye diseases. Day after day, he continued to apply various herbal medicines to treat eye diseases. With a quiet and warm life and his wife's careful care, Yue Pengju's eye diseases gradually improved. , so for more than a month, although I still need to cover myself with gauze, I just can't bear the strong light, and the pain no longer exists.
This period of time was really the best and happiest time in their lives. There was no grudge between the husband and wife, and there was a deep affection between them. Especially Hua Rong, although she served her husband all day long, she did not feel hard at all, but sweet. Abnormally, I feed him soup every meal, wash his hands and face every day, and read him various books on the art of war every night... All kinds of trivial things, every one of them is done, which gives people a greater sense of accomplishment than the big winds and waves during the war.
The two stayed in the mountains for a long time, unaware that time had passed, and it lasted more than three months. One day after breakfast, Hua Rong walked with her husband for a while, and suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable and vomited non-stop. Yue Pengju hurriedly supported his wife: "Sister Seventeen, Are you sick? You need to see a doctor."
"It's okay, I think it's because the weather has turned colder and I've contracted the wind chill."
… …
When she said this, she couldn't help but started retching again.
Yue Pengju was even more worried: "Sister Seventeen, I heard that you are retching frequently these days. I must take a look to make sure you don't get sick."
She leaned against her husband and felt tired. Her eyelids drooped. She had obviously slept well last night, but now she felt sleepy again. "I don't know why. I've been feeling dizzy and drowsy lately. Something." I don’t even want to eat it.”
"What should we do? We must ask the doctor to take a look."
Seeing that he was anxious, Hua Rong laughed: "Now I'm fine again, I'm fine again."
"No, we have to go back quickly, we can't let you catch the cold."
"Um."
The winter sunshine rose warmly to the treetops. Hua Rong helped her husband walk back, but when she saw the huge stone slab next to her, she took his hand: "Pengju, let's go sit down."
Seeing that his wife was not feeling well, he was unwilling to do so, but after hearing her gentle insistence, he let her go and they sat down on the smooth stone floor together.
Behind is an ancient pine, blocking out the sky and the sun. Looking from a distance, the winter climate has begun to kill everything, but it has not yet reached the worst cold period. The dead grass is turning yellow, and the various evergreen plants in the south are still quite alive. The breeze was blowing, and it was very cool. Yue Pengju felt his wife's hands were a little cold, so he hugged her whole body, untied the thick cotton-padded jacket and covered her.
"Sister Seventeen, it's been really hard for you to take care of me these days. Maybe that's why I'm tired and sick."
What a fool. He only takes care of his food and daily life every day, not to mention two soldiers helping him. How could he be exhausted? She said softly: "I don't know how happy I am. I would rather stay here with you forever, so what if I take care of you every day!" When she said this, she felt something strange. She raised her head to look at him in his arms. Only then did he realize that Pengju had removed the veil from his eyes at some point and stared at him tenderly.
"Pengju, cover your eyes quickly, why..." She reached out to do it for him as she said it. Her hand reached his cheek, but was caught. His voice was full of smiles: "Sister Seventeen..."
Her eyes were bright and she was ecstatic: "Pengju, are your eyes healed?"
"Okay! Completely recovered! I didn't feel anything strange in the past few days, but to be on the safe side, I still suffered for two or three days..."
She happily watched him throw down the "eye patch" that had been with him for a long time, but she blushed at his burning gaze.
From the beginning of the conflict, to her running away, to the two or three months of not seeing anything, Yue Pengju looked at his wife carefully without blinking. Although he could see his wife several times during the dressing changes, he still couldn't see her. They couldn't see clearly, and they were vaguely blinded by her urging. Only today was the woman in his arms clearly seen with extremely bright eyes - the joy of seeing the light of day again.
She wore a light green dress, with a thin hairpin on her head. Because of the quiet life in the past few months, the complete relaxation of body and mind, the fresh air between the mountains and the delicious mountain dishes - it was a truly complete immersion. The nourishment a woman receives in marriage and love makes her whole person radiant, beautiful and charming, especially her radiant eyes - he can even see his own reflection in them.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and twisted his cheek: "What are you looking at? I've never seen a beautiful woman... Your eyes are just right. You can't see more light all the time. Close them now..."
"Hahaha" he laughed loudly, held her hand, closed his eyes obediently, lowered his head and spoke to her lips: "Yes, Sister Seventeen, I have never seen you so beautiful!"
This man!
Hua Rong was about to quarrel with him, but she felt sweet in her heart. Looking around, she saw mountains surrounded by green pines, and the two of them seemed to be in a painting. She just thought, in such a day, whoever invites me to be a god would be the same. Not going.
The winter sun set quickly, and the two stood up and walked back hand in hand.
Hua Rong said happily: "Pengju, your eyes are healed. We are going to have a big banquet for guests tonight."
Yue Pengju readily agreed.
The so-called "big banquet guests" were Lu Da and a group of young monks. They lived in the west wing, which was the reception area of Donglin Temple and was quite "isolated" from Donglin Temple. After Yue Pengju came, Luda naturally no longer worried about Hua Rong's safety, so he ordered the young monks not to disturb the two of them. He also meditated quietly and meditated. For a long time, he did not eat dog meat and was in a state of semi-reclusion.
The two of them went to find Luda excitedly. When Luda saw that Yue Peng had recovered from his eye disease, he was naturally happy for him: "Haha, it's really time to celebrate tonight. Let's go find a jar of good wine..."
The two of them knew that "wine and meat passed through the intestines and remained in the heart of the Buddha". They really had to practice to a certain level to reach this supreme state, so they left it to him. However, because other young monks had to be entertained, the dishes were also vegetarian. host.
In winter, there is a shortage of fresh vegetables in the mountains, so Hua Rong usually prepares some mushrooms, dried vegetables and the like in reserve. In addition, there are some fresh radish and cabbage stored underground in the cellar, as well as other winter mountain vegetables, tofu and the like, and he can prepare seven or eight delicious dishes. .
Ma Chao and others had already prepared dinner. Hua Rong was happy today, so she went to make two more side dishes. As soon as the dishes were cooked, the smell of cooking oil came up, and she felt a severe stomach discomfort. She couldn't help but retched again, dropped the spatula and ran away. After going out, Yue Pengju hurriedly supported her: "No, I must ask the doctor to take a look tomorrow."
